Chapter 18: I Please
Tao Mingxi and Zhu'er followed the shopkeeper upstairs together, she took the master and servant to a box, as soon as they entered the door, Tao Mingxi and Zhu'er were amazed by the furnishings inside, originally they thought that the decoration on the first floor of the Yixian Building was luxurious and exquisite enough, but they didn't expect the design in the box on the second floor to be more gorgeous, the display is extremely exquisite antiques and handicrafts, from the curtains to the tablecloth to the embroidered cushions on the couch near the window, the pattern materials are better than the Five Kings' Mansion.
Seeing this, Tao Mingxi couldn't help but want to praise Tianze, this guy is actually quite thrifty as a prince, and the furnishings in the palace are not as luxurious as a restaurant. No, whether he is frugal or extravagant, it has nothing to do with her.
"Please be seated, two sons."
Xue Ziyao invited the two of them to sit down, and then handed a beautiful booklet to Tao Mingxi's hand, "Please order food, I have a meal today!" ”
Tao Mingxi thought that he had heard it wrong, why did the shopkeeper suddenly invite her to dinner? Could it be that it was done because she scolded the domineering boy before, and broke his face?
Someone invited him to dinner, of course Tao Mingxi was very happy, but the two of them had no relatives and no reason, and Tao Mingxi was embarrassed to accept it like this, so he said politely: "How embarrassing is this, let's do it ourselves!" ”
"Okay, in that case, then I won't force it, please order, two."
Xue Ziyao responded in one breath, Tao Mingxi and Zhu'er were stunned for a moment, and said that they wanted to invite people to dinner, why did they refuse her! What a businessman!
Tao Mingxi's hand touching the menu was slightly forced, and he felt remorse in his heart, but if he said it, it would be equivalent to the water that was spilled and could not be recovered! However, as a princess, she brought a lot of dowry when she married here, and the money for a meal would not make her and Zhu'er difficult.
Deliberately not looking at Xue Ziyao's playful expression, Tao Mingxi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, opened the menu and began to read.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Tao Mingxi suddenly felt a little painful when he looked at this menu, this, what are these things?
Seeing that the menu was full of poetry and songs, she looked up at Xue Ziyao with a little suspicion, Xue Ziyao nodded affirmatively, "The menu of this store is like this, if the two guests don't understand, you can ask Xiao Er." ”
Xiao Er on the side explained: "If the two sons can guess the dish corresponding to the poem, they can be exempted, and if they can't guess, they will have to pay the original price." ”
"No, we're just coming in for a meal, how can it be like a poetry conference?"
Tao Mingxi rolled his eyes speechlessly, looked down, and saw that the price of "white clouds go to you" was five taels of silver, "Don't tell me about this boiled tofu flower, right?" ”
"Childe is really smart, indeed."
Tao Mingxi: "......"
Pearl: "......"
"A bowl of boiled tofu flowers, five taels of silver?" Why don't you just go to the vault and grab it?
Zhu'er stared at Shui Lingling's big eyes, and strongly condemned the price of food in Yixian Mansion in her heart, but looking at the battle in front of Xue Ziyao's shop just now, she didn't have the courage to open it directly.
Thanks to the princess who came here to eat today, if the common people came in, how miserable would they be?
"This boy has already guessed the dish, so it's free of charge." Xue Ziyao looked at the master and servant and smiled, "Childe, please continue to order." ”
Tao Mingxi was a little speechless, "It's interesting to guess like this, but I'm not here to play games this time." ”
Isn't it just silver, this princess has it! Tao Mingxi closed the menu and knocked his knuckles on the table twice, "Just ask the shopkeeper to send your best dishes, silver is not a problem." ”
"Childe is really arrogant, since that's the case, then Yao Niang and I will talk about the ugly things in front, I want to eat Yao Niang's specialty dishes, I'm afraid that the silver will not be enough."
Xue Ziyao's contempt made Tao Mingxi feel resentful, her Yixian Mansion is indeed a big pomp, but she is just a common person, what qualifications do she have to look down on people so much?
"Joke, my son can't even afford to eat a meal in your Yixian Building? Pearl, take out all our silver! ”
Zhu'er nodded, and when she reached out to touch the burden, she suddenly became petrified, what about the burden?
"Pearl, you ......"
Tao Mingxi stretched out her hand and touched Zhu'er's waist, and suddenly froze, and then quickly replayed the scene just now in her mind, as if the burden had been touched by others when she was fighting with those two little guys.
Xue Ziyao looked at the two of them with blank faces, and raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter, what about the child's silver?" ”
"Childe, it seems that the burden was lost just now." Pearls almost wanted to cry without tears.
In addition to the silver they brought out, there were also two sets of clothes and jewelry, there were no clothes and jewelry, and if they went back to be known by the prince like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tao Mingxi also expected that the consequences would be serious, but now this embarrassing scene made her have to save face, "Well, forget it if you lose it, it's a big deal to go back home and get it again, but what about today's meal...... If you don't have money, you won't eat it. ”
Tao Mingxi simply pulled Zhu'er to stand up and wanted to go out, but Xue Ziyao laughed out loud and stopped Tao Mingxi.
"You just scolded that Fang Gongzi, and it can be regarded as a breath for me, this meal I said I invited, I invited, you two better sit down!" Xue Ziyao stretched out her hand and patted Tao Mingxi's shoulder, sat down directly on her seat, and then beckoned Xiao Er: "Go and make tea." ”
"What does the shopkeeper mean by that?" Tao Mingxi looked dazed, Xue Ziyao laughed at her for a while, and then made an intimate move with her, which really made her unable to figure it out.
"The girl is a temperamental, and my Yao Niang won't beat around the bush......"
"Wait! What do you call me? Tao Mingxi was dumbfounded.
"Girl, what's the matter, I'm wrong?"
Xue Ziyao looked at Tao Mingxi, her eyes fell on her chest playfully, Tao Mingxi followed her gaze and glanced down at her chest, and suddenly coughed twice in embarrassment: "Ahem, Shopkeeper Xue has good eyesight." ”
"Come on, it's rare to meet such an interesting person as you, I'll start it myself today, please try my best dishes for the two of you, let's talk while eating, you sit and wait, I'll come when I go."
Xue Ziyao smiled and left, leaving Tao Mingxi and Zhu'er looking at each other, a little flattered.
"Childe, I lost my clothes and jewelry, what should we do later?"
"Don't worry about it for now, the shopkeeper Xue will personally cook and invite the two of us to dinner, let's talk about this later, this kind of opportunity can't be asked for by many people."
Thinking of the arrogant appearance of the domineering boy just now, and the embarrassment of him being kicked out by Xue Ziyao, she felt refreshed, and this meal would definitely be extremely happy.
