Chapter 9: The Feast of the Whole Snake

The Cheng family lived a poor life, but Cheng Wenchu was indifferent, of course, it also attracted the evaluation of him from the outside world, saying that he didn't miss sibling affection, didn't respect the elders and loved the young, but Cheng Wenchu was noncommittal about these words.

The identity of the owner of Qingcang Villa was exposed, which attracted various entanglements between the imperial relatives of Tianxi Kingdom and Haolan Kingdom, and Cheng Wenchu's life was never peaceful again.

Because of all kinds of troubles, Cheng Wenchu's whereabouts have always been erratic. But every year he would go to the Heavenly Seal Country and Haolan Country several times, and every time he came to Haolan Country, he would get drunk and not return to the restaurant.

Today, I also heard that Cheng Wenchu was coming to Haolan, and the restaurant was overcrowded if he was drunk. After listening to the gossip, Jian Mingdeng heard the sound of gasping one after another, and she subconsciously raised her head.

A person walked in the door, dressed in a pure white brocade robe and jade belt, and his posture was long. The neckline, cuffs and hem of the robe are all hooked with gold thread, and a white jade pendant with intricate patterns carved on the waist is elegant, extraordinary.

When he saw his face, Jian Minglan was stunned. The long jet-black hair was tied back with a tie of the same color, and the rest of the sideburns hung down to the shoulders. The two eyebrows are slender, the phoenix eyes are bright, the nose bridge is straight, the two lips are flushed with a healthy ruddy, and the facial features are extremely exquisite.

The corners of his lips are slightly upturned, with a faint smile on his face, he has an extraordinary temperament, stepping into the restaurant in the soft light, and he is not as beautiful as a mortal. At that moment, he became the only scenery in the world.

Rao is Jian Ming Lantern has experienced two lives, and he has never seen such a peerless appearance, and he can't help but be amazed.

I don't know who exclaimed, "Ah, snake... Snake... Snakes..."

Following the prestige, Jian Minglan was stunned again, and in the crowd, a girl in yellow hugged her maid tightly, screaming and screaming, and there were several snakes wriggling on the ground at her feet, and everyone was also frightened by this scene.

Before everyone could come back to their senses, the figure of Jian Minglan ran over and grabbed the snakes neatly with his hands and feet. The white-robed man paced over, glanced at the light of the light, and then covered his mouth and nose and said, "The way your restaurant welcomes Cheng this year is really ingenious!" ”

The guy in the restaurant standing in the crowd hurriedly stood up and waved his hand, "The master of the Cheng family misunderstood, this is not the arrangement of the shopkeeper of the store, this snake really came from nowhere." ”

The frightened girl in yellow had calmed down at this time and looked at Cheng Wenchu shyly and timidly. Seeing Cheng Wenchu's confused expression, she immediately pointed to her opposite and scolded: "It's her, these snakes were all ordered by the fifth princess to be caught and intimidated by me." ”

Opposite the woman in yellow stood a girl in purple, with her hands around her chest, looking at the girl in yellow defiantly, with a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth.

The girl has very white skin, looks delicate and lovely, looks like a naughty child, and the expression on her face is very real. Jian Minglan knows her, she is the fifth princess Long Feifei, a famous barbaric princess in the imperial capital.

Long Feifei likes to act recklessly, there is no city, and it is also because she has a mother who is the queen, and the queen takes care of everything for her, so she can live so wantonly.

Jian Mingdeng has also participated in several palace banquets, and she also knows the girl in yellow, who is Guo Tangyi, the youngest daughter of Guo Youwei, the imperial master of the dynasty.

There are only two girls in Taishifu, and Guo Tangyi is Guo Youwei's daughter who only got it in his sixties. Therefore, Guo Tangyi's temperament is very pampered, even if Long Feifei is a princess, she refuses to bow to her.

The two have always been at odds, and the emperor didn't take the fight between his youngest daughter's family to heart, at most he laughed it off. Guo Taishi used to be the emperor's teacher, and the emperor was a little partial to him, and it was precisely because of this that Guo Youwei only symbolically reprimanded his young daughter for a few words, and then he didn't do it.

Listening to everyone's whispers, and then looking at the posture of the two now, Jian Minglan quickly understood that the reason why Long Feifei and Guo Tangyi were unhappy was because of Cheng Wenchu.

The two had an argument from the private room upstairs before, and they had trouble all the way downstairs. Long Feifei just wanted Guo Tangyi to embarrass in front of Cheng Wenchu, so she ordered someone to catch a few snakes to scare her.

Long Feifei stepped forward and knocked off Guo Tangyi's hand, and said jokingly: "Guo Tangyi, you don't slander this princess here, who can prove that these snakes were caught by this princess?" ”

"You..."

Guo Tangyi didn't expect Long Feifei to deny it, and suddenly he didn't know how to refute it, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

Long Feifei was proud, but Cheng Wenchu opened his mouth lightly, "It's better to send these snakes to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will have someone to investigate to see who wants to harm Cheng." ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Guo Tangyi clapped her hands and praised, watching Long Feifei's pretty face change color, she was very happy. Peeking at Cheng Wenchu, thinking that he was defending himself so much, he must like himself, and the flush climbed up his cheeks, and he was overjoyed.

Jian Minglan looked at Cheng Wenchu. He explained that he wanted to find trouble in Haolan Kingdom and use the topic to play, but what did he want to ask the emperor to do with this matter, or did he have other plans?

Jian Mingdeng thought that his father was the prime minister, and if Cheng Wenchu was allowed to go to the emperor, then the emperor would inevitably throw this hot potato to her father. For the sake of the father who loved her, she also had to stop Cheng Wenchu.

Jian Minglan grabbed a few snakes and walked up to the guy and said, "Tell you the shopkeeper, just say that the prime minister wants to borrow the kitchen of your store for a while, and the time for a stick of incense is good." ”

As soon as her words fell, a man forty miles away came out of the crowd, and he arched his hand and said, "It is an honor to serve the Prime Minister. ”

Jian Mingdeng nodded with satisfaction, turned to Cheng Wenchu and said, "The fifth princess learned that the head of the Cheng family would come to the drunken restaurant today, so she ordered someone to catch snakes and make a table of all-snake banquets for the head of the Cheng family. Originally, I wanted to surprise the head of the Cheng family, but I didn't expect these snakes to run out, disturbing the head of the Cheng family, and inviting the head of the Cheng family, Haihan. ”

Long Feifei looked at Jian Minglan in a daze, she caught the snake with a neat action before, and she blamed her for ruining her good deeds, but she didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she would stand up and help herself.

Cheng Wenchu seemed to be very interested in Jian Minglan's words, nodded and said, "I see!" Well, let Cheng see how the young lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion made a table of all-snake banquets for Cheng! ”

From beginning to end, he didn't look at Long Feifei, so it can be seen that he didn't believe what Jian Minglan said at all, what Long Feifei caught the snake to make a whole snake banquet in order to surprise him.

What else can this snake do besides making soup? Even if the lamp is braised and stir-fried, it won't be able to make a table of different snake meat, right?

But he could see that Jian Minglan was not the kind of brainless woman who boasted about Haikou in order to be in the limelight.
