Chapter 8 Eating does not know the taste
Liu Ning looked at his brother viciously, eager to cut his brother with a thousand knives with his eyes, but he couldn't refuse, and the other three seemed to be quite interested, so he could only grit his teeth and enter the table.
With so many people eating together, sitting in a seat is also a science.
As the master, Liubin naturally sat on the main seat, with Yun Qing sitting on the right, Zhao Nan sitting on the left, and Tang Changyu sitting next to Zhao Nan.
Liuning sat next to Yunqing, Mingfu sat next to Liuning, and Wen Hai did not allow other women to sit next to his brother Lan and sit between Mingfu and Lin Yilan.
Liuning and Tang Changyu sat opposite each other, Liuning didn't dare to look up, because she could feel Tang Changyu's fiery and probing gaze, Mingfu stared at Zhao Nan who was sitting opposite her, but found that Zhao Nan also raised his eyes to look at himself from time to time, and smiled politely.
When the servants were serving, none of the eight people spoke, the room was silent, the eight people stared at each other, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird.
Finally, the dishes were set up, the wine was poured, and Liubin broke away all the servants who wanted to say something to alleviate this weird atmosphere, which could be regarded as atoning for the sins he had committed, what did he think at the time, why did he leave these troublesome people to eat together?!
Liubin stood up, raised his wine glass and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of the reason for drinking this glass of wine, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "For our meeting, for us to be able to get together tonight, cheers." ”
Everyone was very respectful, got up together, clinked glasses together, and drank all the contents of the cup.
After everyone sat down, Tang Changyu poured another glass of wine for himself, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he could say it to Liuning: "We people, now there is one less, I don't know how A-Ning is now, I don't know if she is doing well." ”
After saying this, he drank this glass of wine again, Liu Ning glanced up at Tang Changyu, but he didn't expect that he was also looking at himself, the two looked at each other, and the distress and sadness in Liu Ning's eyes were fully seen by Tang Changyu.
Liuning buried her head and went to eat, but heard Mingfu on the side say with a smile: "Marshal Tang, if Miss Liuning knew that you had been thinking about her like this, thinking about her, she would definitely be very moved." ”
Tang Changyu nodded, poured another glass of wine, and Liuning quietly stepped on Mingfu under the table.
It's not a way to hide like this, Liuning worked hard to calm down his emotions and talk and laugh with everyone, but Tang Changyu had a problem: "Brother Gu, I heard that Liubin said that you have visited a lot of places, why don't you tell us about what you have seen and heard in various places." ”
Liuning secretly scolded in his heart, why didn't he find out that Tang Changyu was so clever before, and he hid so many little tricks in his heart, where had he been to so many places, except for Turkic and Chang'an, he had never been anywhere, and even Chang'an was the first time to come.
Liuning could only quickly move out to rescue the soldiers: "I naturally think Chang'an is the best place, but Chang'an is your territory, followed by Jinling, but this is where Mingfu grew up since she was a child, or she is more familiar with it, let her tell everyone about the beauty of Jinling." ”
Liuning looked at Mingfu with a smile, and threw all the problems to Mingfu while talking and laughing.
Mingfu's face did not change in the slightest, and she still glanced back at Liuning with a smile, her face was like a peach blossom, and she calmly and generously introduced the customs and customs of Jinling to everyone.
From the river of Jinling to the bridge of Jinling, and then to the food of Jinling, as well as the beauties of Jinling. The atmosphere suddenly became lively, led by Mingfu, and everyone discussed the scenery of Jinling together.
Mingfu did not shy away from being abducted and trafficked and doing Oiran, but only concealed the real reason why she would return to Chang'an.
Everyone else is a person with a story, and in the face of a person like Mingfu who is frank and full of stories behind him, it is naturally easy to get along, and Mingfu quickly became familiar with everyone and became friends.
After Mingfu finished telling the story, he led everyone to raise a glass very boldly: "For us today, we have a chance to meet thousands of miles away, and we have a toast." ”
Everyone raised their glasses together and drank the wine, and the distance between them seemed to be much closer.
Tang Changyu's troubles were made because of Mingfu's answer, so that Liuning Qiao baa dodged over, and when Tang Changyu, who was worried about Liuning, would continue to make moves to test himself, sure enough, Tang Changyu was in trouble again.
Tang Changyu pushed the plate of green pineapple cabbage in front of Liuning, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, this pineapple cabbage is an imported dish, and it is rare to eat it, I heard that eating this dish is good for your health, you are running around all year round, so you have to eat more." ”
Liu Ning nodded his head in thanks without smiling, raised his glass to Tang Changyu, and the two drank it all, and Liu Ning reluctantly stretched out his chopsticks to the plate of pineapple vegetables in front of him.
Tang Changyu supported his head with one hand, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles as he watched Liu Ning sandwich the pineapple vegetables in front of him one bite after another, but his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, Tang Changyu himself didn't know how tangled the expression he was.
Liuning forced himself to swallow, he didn't know how many times he cursed Tang Changyu, this pineapple is Liuning's most hated dish, this is not deliberately testing himself, he is obviously deliberately embarrassing himself!
But this Tang Changyu has been looking at himself, Liuning thinks that there is no flaw in his current men's clothes, is it possible that he is still beautiful and delicious when he is dressed like this? Then Tang Changyu's taste is also quite heavy.
Thanks to God's favor, whenever Liu Ning was so embarrassed that he wanted to leave the table angrily or find a crack in the ground to get into, there were always nobles sent by God to relieve him.
A small servant ran in and passed the word: "There is good news in the palace, Concubine Yan Niangniang successfully gave birth to a dragon son, the emperor was overjoyed, gave the name Zhen, sealed the king of Yue, and Jin named Concubine Yan Niangniang as the concubine, and issued an amnesty to the world." ”
When such a grand good news came, everyone was naturally happy, Yun Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This Concubine Yan is really favored, not only has she won the Jin title, but even the prince is not a full moon name, and a fief at the age of three, such a decision is afraid that it will cause a storm in the harem of the previous dynasty." ”
Liubin smiled and nodded, looking like a woman singing with her husband, and turned his head to look at Zhao Nan: "Xiao Nan has the most say in this matter." ”
Zhao Nan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and his heart was flustered, could it be that he showed his stuff somewhere?
I only heard Liubin continue: "Xiao Nan is the imperial guard, and he stays in the palace every day, does the emperor also love Wanyan so much in private, we are all our own family, it doesn't matter if you gossip." ”
Zhao Nan pondered himself, whether he still had a glass with Tang Changyu, who had been talking to him, and replied: "That's natural, since we came back from the Turkic battlefield and I entered the palace, except for those important festivals, the emperor is with the eldest grandson, and the rest of the time is accompanied by Wan, uh, Concubine Yan." ”
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that the emperor had every opportunity, and he would find time to accompany his beloved woman when he was so busy.
Zhao Nan then replied: "Of course, the emperor accompanies the mother for a walk, admires the flowers, and will tell the story to the mother, thinking of ways to make Concubine Yan happy, when the mother is unwilling to eat, the emperor even feeds her personally, it is really very favorable." ”
In the sighs of everyone, Zhao Nan couldn't help but feel sad, since he entered the palace, he couldn't count how many scenes of such affection and envy of others he had seen.
But this very aggrieved feeling can only be buried deep in the bottom of his heart, and no one confides in him, because Zhao Nan is not sure if his good friends can understand this love that does not seem to conform to the norm.
If he just watched from a distance like that forever, Zhao Nan would feel better in his heart, but from time to time, Wanyan's eyes in his direction could always make his heart messy, and he could only turn his back and not look at the person he was worried about.
The expression on Zhao Nan's face became slightly bitter, but no one noticed, only Mingfu, who had been paying attention to Zhao Nan, saw this change.
After listening to Zhao Nan's words, Wen Hai shook Lin Yilan's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Lan, Brother Lan, when will you be so good to me." ”
Lin Yilan was very embarrassed to shake off Wen Hai's hand, and pushed Wen Hai's head with her hand: "Xiaohai, don't be embarrassed in front of so many people, how can you not be ashamed of being a good lady." ”
Wen Hai pursed his lips unhappily, Yun Qing was amused by the scene in front of him, and Liu Bin immediately doted on his eyes and took Yun Qing in his arms: "You are very envious? How about I be so good to you in the future? ”
Yun Qing smiled shyly, nodded but did not speak, in front of Liubin, she never crossed the barrier of identity, she loved so humbly in front of Liubin, and put her position so small.
Tang Changyu has been pouring himself on the side and did not participate in this affectionate discussion, Zhao Nan pressed Tang Changyu's hand to pour wine, and wanted to grab the wine glass but Tang Changyu threw it away.
Zhao Nan saw Tang Changyu like this and understood that he must have remembered Liuning again, Zhao Nan looked up at Gu Lisheng, who was full of doubts, and his heart was full of doubts, so he could only persuade Tang Changyu: "Don't drink anymore." ”
Tang Changyu took another drink and said to himself: "I also want to be so good to A-Ning, but she doesn't know where to hide now, why, why do you treat me like this." ”
Tang Changyu did not shy away from looking directly at Gu Lisheng in front of him, forcing Liu Ning not to dare to look at his eyes full of sadness, drank a glass of wine, and moved his gaze to other places.
Tang Changyu could only be sad when he saw her reaction, he directly raised the wine jug and drank it, and said to himself: "In the past, A-Ning would always ask me to drink less and drink less at such times. ”
Everyone's attention was on Tang Changyu, a sad person, and Liubin quietly moved his eyes to his sister, and the two made eye contact.
Liuning understood that her brother wanted to tell herself that Tang Changyu really loved herself, thought about herself, and wanted to tell Tang Changyu her true identity, but Liuning lowered her head in loss and shook her head again, she couldn't get over the sadness in her heart.
Everyone has eaten and drunk enough, and chatted for a while, Tang Changyu has been drunk, this dinner that made Liuning eat without knowing the taste, and the dinner with mixed tastes in his heart is finally over, Liuning and Liubin and Yunqing sent everyone out together, and arranged a place for Mingfu to stay.
At the end of this day, Liu Ning was exhausted, and as soon as he sat down on his bed, he heard a knock on the door.
