Chapter 206: Waiting for Him All Night But Not Returning
In the end, after Nan Qiao traded with Zhang Mingyang at the normal market price, Zhang Mingyang had to invite her to Fumanlou for dinner, but Nan Qiao couldn't shirk this enthusiasm and had to go.
At the dinner table, Zhang Mingyang raised his wine glass, "Brother Feng, this cup is for you, thank you for saving your life last time!" ”
Nan Qiao didn't want to drink, but it was not easy to refuse, so he touched a glass with him, "It's just a gesture, not to mention that it is His Royal Highness the Prince who really saved you, and I didn't help much, you don't have to be like this." ”
"If it weren't for Brother Feng to introduce me, His Royal Highness the Prince would not have helped me, this glass of wine should be toasted to you!" Zhang Mingyang did it first as a respect, and drank all the wine in the cup as soon as he raised his head.
Nan Qiao shook his head helplessly, "Brother Mingyang is polite!" ”
With that, she also drank a glass of wine.
As soon as she put the wine glass on the table, Zhang Mingyang politely filled it for her, Nan Qiao waved his hand, "Brother Mingyang, I don't drink well, and if I drink it again, I will get drunk!" ”
Zhang Mingyang smiled and said, "There are thousands of cups of wine for confidants, it is an honor to be lucky enough to meet Brother Feng again today, if Brother Feng is really drunk, I will arrange the best room for Brother Feng to live!" ”
Nan Qiao politely refused, "You can save the wine for next time, I still have important things to do this time, so I can't drink too much!" ”
Zhang Mingyang muttered, "Next time... When will it be? ”
"What did you say?" Nan Qiao didn't hear too clearly.
Zhang Mingyang came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Where does Brother Feng live?" Where should I go for a drink with you next time? ”
He searched the entire Chang'an City before, and there was no one called Fenghuang at all.
Nan Qiao hesitated and scratched his nose, "If you have the opportunity to come to Chang'an next time, I will take the initiative to find you." ”
"Brother Feng is not from Chang'an?" Zhang Mingyang's eyes were full of expectation.
Nan Qiao shook his head, "No, I came to Chang'an to have important things to do!" ”
Zhang Mingyang hurriedly said, "I am a native of Chang'an, and I am very familiar with Chang'an City. ”
Nan Qiao didn't refuse directly, in case there was a place where someone needed help in the future.
She clenched her fists and said politely, "Thank you!" ”
"Brother Feng is really polite!" Zhang Mingyang showed a mouthful of white teeth, staring at Nan Qiao's face with a little more casual judgment, "Does Brother Feng still have a sister?" ”
"Huh?" Nan Qiao almost choked on saliva, "Why does Brother Mingyang ask like that?" ”
"Last time I saw a woman who was very similar to Brother Feng, it was like carved out of a mold." Immediately afterwards, Zhang Mingyang told him about meeting Nan Qiao outside Mu's Pharmacy that day.
After hearing this, Nan Qiao sighed, and was embarrassed to admit that it was her, so she said, "It may be that I have a public face, and it is normal for someone to look like me." ”
Zhang Mingyang just smiled and didn't say much, and took advantage of Xiao Er's cooking to change the topic and said, "Brother Feng, this lotus foie gras is the signature dish of Fumanlou, can you taste it to see if it suits your appetite?" ”
Nan Qiao hummed, got off the donkey down the slope and picked up a little chopsticks and put them in his mouth to taste, after swallowing, Nan Qiao praised without hesitation,
"It's delicious!"
"Brother Feng likes it!" Zhang Mingyang changed the dish to Nan Qiao, "Brother Feng is really Sven when he eats. ”
Nan Qiao smiled embarrassedly, "Get used to it, Brother Mingyang, don't just look at me, the dishes are cold!" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Mingyang picked up the chopsticks and put some vegetarian vegetables in his mouth, chewing slowly, looking up at Nan Qiao opposite from time to time and smiling slightly.
In the middle of the meal, Zhang Mingyang suddenly said, "Brother Feng, your hat seems to be crooked." ”
Nan Qiao put down his chopsticks and straightened his hat, "Thank you Brother Mingyang for reminding me, otherwise it will make people laugh." ”
"Brother Feng, I just saw that your forehead seems to be a little red, is it a birthmark?" He asked.
Nan Qiao said embarrassedly, "Sort of, I can't get rid of it anyway!" ”
"Oh, no wonder Brother Feng wears a hat." Zhang Mingyang didn't ask any more, in fact, he didn't see the magnolia flower on her forehead just now, but he didn't expect her to be that person.
After eating a meal, the sky was already dark, but the streets outside were brightly lit, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Mingyang, Nan Qiao went back to the palace directly.
Zhang Mingyang stood at the door of Fumanlou, staring at the back that disappeared into the crowd, when Xiao Qian walked over,
"Childe, do you want to send someone to follow?"
Zhang Mingyang raised his hand, "No need, I already know who she is." ”
Xiao Qianyun was in a fog, and she didn't understand what Zhang Mingyang meant, so she saw the corners of Zhang Mingyang's lips rising slightly, "It turns out that night was not an illusion, except for His Royal Highness the Prince, the girl with magnolia flowers on her forehead is her." ”
"Childe, what did you say?" Xiao Qian asked.
"It's nothing, let's go back!" After saying this, Zhang Mingyang withdrew his gaze and walked in the direction of Zhang's mansion.
Nan Qiao hurriedly went to Mu Baizhuo's pharmacy to understand the medicine, and was scolded by Mu Baizhuo as soon as he took it.
"You can bear it, you even ran to drink, and you didn't call me!"
Nan Qiao gave him a blank look, "Didn't I meet an acquaintance?" Besides, I didn't drink much, so I just had a drink! ”
"A cup of medicine that came to me to ask for hangover medicine is really a waste of the medicine of this world!" Mu Baizhuo was even more unhappy when she heard her drinking with others.
Nan Qiao snorted and laughed, went up and pulled his arm and said in a soft tone,
"Hey, do you want that? Besides, I will return to the palace with the smell of wine, and if I encounter a trick, he will definitely question me again, so it is better to come to you than this! ”
Mu Baizhuo pinched her cheek helplessly, "Qiao'er, are you really in love with Hades?" ”
Before Nan Qiao could answer him, Mu Baizhuo interrupted her, "Now we still have three ghost face Bodhi left to go back, if you fall too deep, I'm afraid you will be sad at that time!" Promise me to take your heart back slowly, okay? ”
Nan Qiao frowned, raised his head and met his implicitly doting eyes, "Xiaobai, I..."
Before he finished speaking, his lips were pressed by his fingers, Mu Baizhuo shook his head slightly, and said to her seriously for the first time,
"Don't be in a hurry to reject me, we don't belong here, I'm tired of deceiving me here, and I don't want you to fall into it, go back with me, I can give you everything in modern times!"
On the way back to the palace, Nan Qiao was thinking about Mu Baizhuo's words, and suddenly looked up and had arrived at the gate of the palace.
Nan Qiao retracted his thoughts, walked into the palace, and walked to Ji Wuyu's bedroom, and found that his bedroom was dark.
In recent days, with her treatment, Ji Wuyu will no longer be affected by the candlelight, why not light the lamp?
Nan Qiao thought about it, so he pushed the door in, looked around, lit a lamp, and the room gradually became brighter, the bed was as clean as new, and there was no one in the house at all.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, I wanted to talk to you tonight, but unfortunately you're not here!" After saying this, Nan Qiao sighed, blew out the candles in the house, closed the door and left.
She wanted to ask Chengfeng after she went out, but Chengfeng was not there, and later asked others, only to learn that Ji Wuyu had been out all day and had not returned.
After returning to the Lianxiang Palace, Nan Qiao lay on the bed and tossed and turned, looking at the color of the ring on her finger that had been pink and white for several days, the stone in her heart had completely fallen, and the Gu in her body was finally solved.
She tapped the lotus flower with her fingers, and said to herself like a little daughter coquettishly, "Death Palace, Smelly Palace, where have you been all day, and you don't see a person, you don't know I'm leaving, do you?" Okay, I know you're busy, and when I send the prince's brother back, I'll come back to you! ”
Turning over, she was still restless and couldn't sleep.
"Forget it, let's go to your room and wait for you!" After saying this, Nan Qiao got up and put on his cloak, and went directly to Ji Wuyu's residence with a lantern.
At first, she sat in the room and waited, but then she was so sleepy that she climbed into his bed and slept, and she didn't sleep anyway.
slept until dawn, and Nan Qiao's heart was worried about the prince's brother, and he was not greedy for bed.
"Miss, where are you, miss?"
There were shouts outside, as if the maids were looking for her.
Nan Qiao suddenly remembered that he fell asleep in Ji Wuyu's house last night, and he didn't alarm the maids who were waiting when he left, so they were naturally anxious when they couldn't see him.
She opened the door and called out to the maids who were looking for her, "Don't worry, I'm here!" ”
The maids breathed a sigh of relief, and Qian'er, who took the lead, hurriedly stepped forward to salute,
"Miss, you can scare the slave to death, you... How to rest in the prince's bedroom? As she spoke, she couldn't help but peek inside.
This tiny movement was fully watched by Nan Qiao, and she said with a smile,
"He's not here, it's the same wherever he sleeps!"
This sentence sounded blushing to the maids, and Nan Qiao reacted at this time, they are all ancient people, even if they pick up a man's sachet, they will blush, why did she blurt it out just now.
Qian'er also smiled awkwardly, "Miss is used to being so aggressive, let's be okay ourselves, if it is spread and outsiders know, we will have to pour dirty water on Miss's head again!" ”
Splashing dirty water?
Isn't the dirty water splashed less lately?
Nan Qiao had a very reasonable expression on the surface, but in fact, she didn't listen to these words at all in her heart, and she didn't disdain outsiders' comments, just have a clear conscience.
"Okay, let's all go down, Qian'er, you go and help me pack my things, and we'll leave today!"
Qian'er said, "I've already cleaned up for Miss, Miss has washed up, and then we can go to the city gate." ”
Nan Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "Well, what about Hongling?" It seems that since yesterday, I haven't seen Hongling, so Nan Qiao asked casually.
Qian'er didn't know very well, "The slave doesn't know where Hongling went." ”
As for Ji Wuyu's situation of not returning all night, Nan Qiao still felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't send someone to tell her where she went, so she waited for him for a night in vain.
"Forget it, help me get dressed!"
He was not there, Nan Qiao's heart was empty, and he missed it tightly.
