This time they didn't go to a familiar place, Gu Jinxi took Ruan Cailing to a newly opened Jiangnan restaurant, near the downtown street, not far from Yanhua Building, but this is not Gu Jinxi or Ruan Cailing's industry, just a newly opened restaurant is just very lively.

Ruan Cailing was held by Gu Jinxi and jumped out of the carriage.

Xiao Eryi at the door immediately came over as soon as he saw such a magnificent carriage, "Hey, two guest officers, what to eat?" Do you want a private room or a lobby? ”

"It's in the lobby." Gu Jinxi said.

Lobby? Don't you want a private room? Ruan Cailing glanced at Gu Jinxi, Gu Jinxi made a gesture of invitation and let Ruan Cailing enter the restaurant, as soon as she came in, many people recognized Gu Jinxi and Ruan Cailing, but Gu Jinxi glanced over, and no one got up to salute, just pretended not to see these two people.

But his eyes drifted in the direction of these two people from time to time.

"Why are you eating in the lobby?"

Someone came to pour tea for Ruan Cailing, Ruan Cailing looked at everything around her very freshly, whether it was eating or drinking tea, due to the different identities, sitting outside would always cause a sensation, so they would choose to be in a private room, rarely outside.

Today, Gu Jinxi brought her here for dinner, and Ruan Cailing was already very surprised.

A few days ago, when Xiyin came to deliver the account book, he said that a new Jiangnan restaurant had opened nearby, with a total of three floors, and it was overcrowded every day, and I heard that it tasted very good.

But Ruan Cailing didn't talk about it to Gu Jinxi, and she didn't even mention it in the letter.

"Only when you sit outside can you see all kinds of life, and all you can see in the private room is yourself." Gu Jinxi closed the fan and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

However, Ruan Cailing has already heard that the boss here is the third prince Mu Yizuo, he is just the boss behind the scenes, very mysterious, few people know, Xiyin will know that it is also because Ling Feng followed the people who went out of this restaurant to the palace, and the palace he entered was the palace of the third prince Mu Yizuo.

The man stayed for a while and then left, and no one noticed.

"Do you know who the boss is here?" Ruan Cailing asked Gu Jinxi.

Gu Jinxi lowered his eyes and looked at the patterns on the table, "Huh? Boss? I don't know, there has always been only the shopkeeper here, and there is no news when I asked people to investigate. ”

Even Tianji Pavilion is also investigating the owner of this Jiangnan restaurant, but now the news has not come back, and he only set the place to eat here today to investigate the truth.

At this time, Xiao Er has already served three cold dishes, saying that the hot dishes will wait for a while.

Ruan Cailing moved her chopsticks and tasted it, the taste was indeed good, and it was not inferior to Aunt Mei's, with the taste of Jiangnan, which was very different from the original taste of the capital, no wonder it was so popular.

The taste of the major restaurants in Beijing is similar, basically you can't eat anything new, but the taste of this Jiangnan restaurant is different, a slight list, with sweetness, even the aroma of wine is different from the spicy and strong taste of Beijing wine, it is a slightly elegant feeling.

She ate well, thinking about taking her mother to come after a while, her mother hadn't eaten such authentic Jiangnan cuisine for a long time.

Although Aunt Mei's craftsmanship is good, any dish can be cooked.

But there's something special about it.

"It tastes good, better than the Jiangnan chef in the palace." Gu Jinxi said.

"Have you ever eaten the dishes made by the Jiangnan Imperial Chef in the palace?" Ruan Cailing asked Gu Jinxi, who nodded and gave Ruan Cailing a chopstick osmanthus glutinous rice lotus.

He said, "I often walk around the palace, and it is inevitable that I have to eat with the emperor, I am very uncomfortable, and no matter how delicious the food is, it is not tasteless." ”

Speaking of which, Ruan Cailing remembered the last time she went to the palace banquet, the food was good and the craftsmanship was good, but the emperor always picked up the wine glass at every turn, or coughed twice, and they all had to wait with fear.

After three hours of the family banquet, her legs were numb, and she had no appetite.

Since then, Ruan Qi has never followed Ruan Qi to the family banquet, unless the emperor must Ruan Qi take her, otherwise she would rather be free at home.

The hot dishes are also served one after another, I didn't expect there to be many people here, but the speed of serving is not slow.

At this time, Ruan Cailing took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and put it in front of Gu Jinxi, "Oh, do you like it?" ”

Gu Jinxi was holding a wine glass and looking at the guests around him, as if he was looking for some traces, when he heard Ruan Cailing's voice, he looked back, there was a jade pendant on the table, the carving on it was extremely exquisite, and it was a valuable boutique at a glance.

From the heart.

"Is this from the heart?" Gu Jinxi picked up the jade pendant and asked Ruan Cailing.

This is a secret master from the heart, Shen Yuheng's carving boutique, the jade pendant he carved is hard to find, no fate will definitely not be obtained, Gu Jinxi wants to come to love jade, and wants to go out of the palace Shen Yuheng to ask for a jade pendant, but he didn't even see Shen Yuheng's face.

This person is such a big name, whether you are an official eunuch or an imperial nobleman, the person he doesn't want to see is not seen, and the jade he doesn't want to give is not given, there is no reason.

This one from the heart is Shen Yuheng's last carved jade pendant, and since then he has followed his beloved back to his hometown, and no one can find Shen Yuheng again.

Speaking of which, this is also a blessing thanks to Ruan Xuchen, Shen Yuheng is Ruan Xuchen's friend, but he is extremely secretive.

Even Ruan Cailing has only seen this Shen Yuheng side, at that time, Shen Yuheng gave Ruan Cailing from the heart, saying that in the future, when Ruan Cailing meets his beloved, he can give him this jade pendant, Shen Yuheng at that time looked very happy, and he should also think of his lover.

Some time ago, she went to Gu Jinxi's house and saw that Gu Jinxi's wall was full of jade, and Mu Han said that Gu Jinxi loved jade.

Only then did she remember what Shen Yuheng had said, so she found out from her heart.

"Well, this is Shen Yuheng's final work, the last carved jade pendant, he gave it to me." Ruan Cailing said.

Gu Jinxi picked it up and looked at it from the heart, it was funny to say, many jade pendants or jade pots made by Shen Yuheng told the story of himself and his lover, this is the last one from the heart, because the carving on it is what he and his lover look like.

He has already achieved his love, and naturally there will be no next piece.

"Why did you send me?" Gu Jinxi asked Ruan Cailing.

Ruan Cailing said, "I know you like jade, Shen Yuheng told me at the beginning, as long as you meet that person, you will give him this jade pendant." ”

After being silent for a long time, Gu Jinxi put the jade pendant in his palm and clenched it tightly, "Okay, thank you Ruan Ruan." ”

"What's this!"

Gu Jinxi's jade pendant, Ruan Cailing was also relieved, she was afraid that Gu Jinxi would think it was precious or would refuse to accept it, she also thought of a lot of reasons to let Gu Jinxi agree, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.

There are many people in Jiangnan Restaurant, and there are many familiar people who come and go, of course, how can there be less Chengxuan in this kind of place?

Ruan Cailing was drinking tea when she saw Cheng Xuan come in, followed by a woman in blue.

"Who is this?" Ruan Cailing asked suspiciously.

Gu Jinxi glanced sideways, and when she saw a group of people beside Cheng Xuan, she couldn't help frowning.

"I don't know." Gu Jinxi said.

However, it is not difficult to guess that the women who will follow Cheng Xuan's side are either Qinglou women or actors, or ordinary girls from small families, serious Beijing nobles, who don't look down on people like Cheng Xuan.

In fact, even people like Shen Yunyun can't look down on Cheng Xuan.

Not long after getting married, there was a wife and a concubine in the family, and there was a woman outside at this time?

It seems that she gave Cheng Xuan a lot of money, and Cheng Xuan did her best to repay her!

Ruan Cailing figured out that she had to ask Meng Tianlong to make some medicine for Cheng Xuan to 'keep her youth forever'

！ Otherwise, what should I do if Cheng Xuan is powerless at this age? She's thinking about her good second cousin and cousin!

Thinking so, Ruan Cailing laughed directly.

"What's wrong? I thought of something so happy. Gu Jinxi was still helping Ruan Cailing pick vegetables.

Ruan Cailing crossed her hands together and put them on her chin, she shook her head and looked in the direction of Cheng Xuan, "You said that my cousin, not long after getting married, a wife and a concubine, it stands to reason that it should be very satisfying, but you see, there is still an endless stream of people around him, and I am starting to worry about my second cousin." ”

"Worried? I thought you would be happy. Gu Jinxi said.

Ruan Cailing pouted, "Where am I so vicious!" ”

"This is not vicious, no matter what you want to do, there must be your reasons, I believe that Ruan Ruan will not harm people if they have nothing to do with it." Gu Jinxi said, Ruan Cailing retracted her gaze and glanced at Gu Jinxi.

I didn't expect Gu Jinxi to believe her.

Although Ruan Cailing never opened her mouth to ask others to believe, she still hopes that someone will believe in herself.

The eldest brother is her relative, and he will believe that she is sure unconditionally, but he didn't expect Gu Jinxi to be like this.

"What if I'm really harmful? What if I really hurt countless people and use cruel means? Ruan Cailing asked Gu Jinxi.

Gu Jinxi raised her eyebrows, thought about this question very seriously, and said lightly in Ruan Cailing's worried gaze, "That's right, I'm ruthless and murderous, we are a good match." ”

Cailing Ruan, "......"

She never thought that Gu Jinxi would say such a thing, Ruan Cailing was stunned for a long time, she couldn't hold back, and laughed.

"Jinxi, you're so cute!"

Lovely? Gu Jinxi raised his hand and touched his face, no one had ever described him as cute, he thought he was a man, and he was a ruthless man, how could he become cute when he arrived at Ruan Cailing?

"You're not afraid?" Gu Jinxi asked Ruan Cailing.

Ruan Cailing's tears came out, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, shook her head and said, "Afraid? Afraid of what? It just so happens that I am cruel, you can follow my ruthlessness, a perfect match. ”

"yes, we're a perfect match." Gu Jinxi reached out and grabbed Ruan Cailing's hand.

The noise around them seems to have nothing to do with them, only each other in their eyes.

"Speaking of which, I heard that the palace has given you a lot of things."
