Banniang said regretfully: "Speaking of which, you are still my fifth brother's friend, you don't know his mind at all, I guess my fifth brother is a girl you like, you'd better ask my fifth brother what he means, or look at the young talents of other families, multiple choices are king." ”

Hearing this, Lu Qiqi was unhappy: "I said, are you also trying to make fun of me, and then find another idea?" This is not kind, just like me, the appearance of a jade tree in the wind, except for the last time Di was like his son, have you ever seen someone more handsome and chic than me? Di Idol's son is no way to compare, it's true that his father is a big Song dick, but people have grown up to be rich and handsome, not only are they rich and handsome, but their son is also a rich and handsome second generation official, but others, you want to find a better one than us, sister, alas, my brother will give you a word, difficult! ”

"Poor, you're fine," Banniang laughed out loud when he said it, she felt more and more that in this world of traversal, it was a blessing to have such a well-known friend to accompany her, at least he was on the two sides, and he could speak heartily, "Besides, how are we two relatives?" You still have the face to say, I am willing to ask you to take advantage of it, and I haven't asked you for interest yet, you can remember this for me first, don't look back and deny it. Speaking of which, by the way, last time in the Qing Dynasty, I went to the suburbs with Sister Wu San, and your sister Siniang was also there, and she met Liu Rushui, she also picked up the sedan chair at the time, and nodded at us, that beauty, even our female compatriots looked straight in the eyes, are you really willing? Actually......"

In fact, Liu Rushui is an authentic ancient, and her education may not be because of Sensen's true love, she must have the rigid needs of a couple for a lifetime, right?

Sometimes, acting in this world with her and Lu Seventeen's values may not be right. Sometimes, there are some right and wrong, but there is no certain absolute rule.

A is a good medicine, B is arsenic.

The lanterns hanging on the pavilion of the Water Pavilion corresponded to a pool of clear water under the corridor railing, and under the faint light, the smile on Lu Qiqi's face was a little lonely.

Banniang didn't know what to say, and both of them were a little silent for a while.

Banniang smiled and said: "By the way, my brothers are at home, if you have nothing to do with Ming'er, go to them to play, the day after tomorrow, it is my grandmother's birthday banquet, I was thinking about the wine banquet, and I did it in our Sheraton, but then I thought about it, my grandmother's ninetieth birthday banquet is a big event, and if you don't do it, you can do it. Rong Qinyuan, as you must know, has a lot to do with our family, so from the day after tomorrow, I want to let Sheraton temporarily close for two days, the chef in the kitchen, and the guys in the store, they will have to help when the time comes, do you think it is feasible? ”

The banquet was set a long time ago, and now I asked, it's just a notice, and it's nothing to say that Sheraton rests for two days, it's just a ten-day break, and this restaurant is from beginning to end, except for helping to rent a shop, he really didn't care about anything, it was all tossed by Banniang himself, he didn't care, and he didn't care about the profit of the two a day.

Lu Seventeen nodded, because Banniang mentioned Liu Rushui's matter, he was not in the mood for a while, but Banniang was amused, but in this restaurant, it was noisy, and he was suddenly a little bored, so he said: "You go and get busy, I want to go out and go around." ”

Banniang didn't care about him, turned around and went into the kitchen.

When he entered the kitchen, he suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Seventeen for help, so he chased him out again, but he didn't see Lu Seventeen in the front party, so he asked Cang'er: "Where is Brother Seventeen?" Did you see him come to the front hall just now? ”

Cang'er was sending off a guest in a private room who had just finished settling the bill, and only after sending off the people did he reply: "I said that I was going out for a walk, and I just went out." ”

Banniang came out of Xilai Orange, and from a distance, I saw Lu Qiqi on the corner of the street, looking at the Emei Moon in the sky in a daze.

Forty-five degrees of sorrow.

The figure under the moonlight, lonely red.

Banniang suddenly felt a little sad, and faintly regretted that she had just mentioned Liu Rushui.

Sometimes, people often can't see their true heart, and when others mention it, they can't hide it, see it, but they don't want to face it.

She and Lu Qiqi, after all, live in a real society, and there are rules that it must abide by.

They are not in a dream, they are actually experiencing another life. It takes every second, every minute, every hour, every day, every year, to go to firewood, rice, oil and salt to live a real life.

Banniang patted her face, showing a smile that she thought was natural and cute, before she ran over and shouted at Lu Seventeen: "Brother Seventeen, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I just forgot to say something." ”

At this moment, Lu Qiqi was at war between heaven and man, and he had never had such a strong desire to see someone.

Since the day he got engaged to Banniang, he has never seen Liu Rushui again, and sometimes the so-called world is just not knowing each other.

But just now, looking at the crooked quarter moon in the sky, thinking about two lives, if you can't even fight for a cherished feeling, and you can't take care of a woman you like and love yourself, then what kind of man is you? What is the significance of such two lives?

If it hadn't been for Banniang to stop him, he would probably have rushed to Ruyi Lou with his legs.

"What's the matter?"

Hiding the loneliness in his eyes, Lu Qiqi smiled and asked.

"That's the case, my grandmother's birthday banquet is still short of some beef, can you think of a way to help me find some in the past two days?"

The rich and noble families of the Great Song Dynasty basically did not eat pork, and the meat was mainly mutton, while beef was a rare thing at this time. Although the price is controlled by the government and is not expensive, the problem is that it is not available at all. There is no way, this is an era when agriculture is the foundation of the country, and ploughing cattle is stipulated by national laws and regulations and is not allowed to be slaughtered.

In the case of not breaking the law, there are only three possibilities for wanting to eat beef, one is the cow that dies of illness, the second is the old cow that can only be slaughtered if there is no way to serve the people, and the third is the cow that is accidentally injured and cannot be treated, and can only be slaughtered after being confirmed by the yamen.

And even if it is these three, it is not allowed to be slaughtered privately, and it must be handed over to the relevant departments in the yamen to deal with, so it is indeed not easy to find some beef.

Of course, the prohibition on the slaughter of cultivated cattle, like many regulations, can be ignored by certain classes, but unfortunately, the Zeng family is obviously not in this class.

Besides, at the birthday banquet, you can't always choose beef that died of illness or old age, right? Then it can only be the third type, and this third type of beef is even more difficult to find.

Lu Qiqi was also a little embarrassed for a while, so he asked Banniang: "Do you have to be fresh?" ”

"It's good to be fresh, but if it's really not good, it's good to get some pickled."

Lu Qiqi said "I know" and said goodbye to Banniang.

Looking at his distant figure, slowly disappearing into the dark night, Banniang turned around and returned to the restaurant depressedly.

"What's going on?" Seeing her listlessness, Cang Er hurriedly asked.

Banniang shook her head, smiled at Cang'er, and then went back to the backyard.

In the evening of the next day, Lu Seventeen led someone to send a full thirty catties of beef, not only fresh, but also a young cow killed alive, it was also a coincidence, he went to Li's house early in the morning for this matter, and asked Li Yong for help, but Li Yong heard it, and laughed at that time: "This is the will of God, Brother Seventeen, I went to serve last night, and I happened to encounter a carriage in a hurry, and bumped into an old man who went into the city to find a veterinarian for treatment because of a cow's leg. Wait, I'll ask someone to get you some beef." However, if there are more monks and less meat, it is estimated that at most you can get twenty or thirty catties. ”

"What monk has more meat and less meat?" Of course Lu Qiyi was happy to hear it, dare he have been lucky recently? It's a pity that there are no lottery tickets sold at this time, or it's better to vote two bets, laughing and scolding, "How to talk, who is the monk?" I don't want to go to the house to practice. I said, can you read a few books? Will it be more stylish to speak in the future? ”
