Chapter 170: Dinner

A-Xing hasn't answered yet. Yun Duo had already frowned, she turned to look at Qiao Ying and said, "Qiao Ying, it's not me talking about you, every time he comes to see the play, you will go to the private room to meet him after the play, you are so ignorant of taboos, no wonder Lord Sun thinks about you!" ”

Qiao Ying lowered her head, tears welled up in her eyelashes, and said aggrievedly: "Yunduo, you have wronged me by saying this, Master Sun is the fifth rank of the minister, he asked me to see him, can I not go?" I didn't go to entertain Lord Sun for the sake of the theater, do you think I am willing to do this? ”

Seeing that she was sad, Yun Duo's tone couldn't help but soften, and said, "But you don't have to be so positive every time, isn't Jingxian also invited?" But she doesn't necessarily agree to the appointment every time, even if she goes, she will sit for a while, and she will come out soon, how can she sit for so long like you......"

Qiaoyin was so angry that she cried. looked at the clouds and said loudly: "According to your meaning, do I deserve it?" ”

The cloud snorted softly, but did not make a sound.

Qiao Ying no longer paid attention to the clouds, turned to look at Ah Xing, and said aggrievedly: "Ah Xing, I did all these things for the theater, and now I am being forced to do this because of this, you can't ignore me, you promised me on the first day I was a drama that you would not let me be bullied......

Ah Xing glanced at her quietly, then lowered her eyes, her face was calm, and after a while, she said slowly: "Since you don't want to marry, I won't give your deed of sale to Lord Sun, but you have to make it clear to him yourself, don't let Lord Sun have a grudge against the theater, so that it will cause trouble to the theater." ”

Qiao Ying showed a grateful look on her face, and nodded again and again in agreement: "Yes, yes, A-Xing, thank you, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone!" I will definitely make it clear to Master Sun, and I will definitely not bring the slightest trouble to the theater! ”

After Qiao Ying went out, Yun Duo said to Ah Xing a little unhappily: "Ah Xing, you are too protective of her!" In fact, she herself has a sentence that is right, she completely deserves it, every time she talks to Lord Sun. It's no wonder that people don't have a lustful heart! You shouldn't take this matter into account at all, you just return her deed of sale to her, let her make up her own mind, and don't offend Lord Sun for her! ”

Ah Xing shook her head lightly, sighed and said: "Qiao Ying was originally a young lady from an official family, she was arrogant, I made her the first female actor in the Tang Kingdom, and she suffered a lot for the theater. I promised her that I would try my best to protect her, and now that she is forced to marry, if I don't care about her, how can she resist as a weak woman? ”

Yun Duo said softly: "Aren't you also a weak woman, you carry everything on your body, can you bear it?" ”

Ah Xing smiled, stood up, walked to Yun Duo's side and hugged her shoulder and said, "Okay, my good sister, you don't have to worry, Master Sun is a person with a head and a face, as long as I tell him well and tell him that Qiao Ying is unwilling." He wouldn't have forced it. It's going to be fine! ”

Yun Duo knew that he couldn't change A-Xing's mind, so he had to nod helplessly.

At this time, a little servant came in and said, "Girl, the attendant of Master Zhang, who is in charge of Zhang, asks to see you." ”

Director Zhang is the youngest son of Prime Minister Zhang, now the head of the six products of the household department, 24 years old, and was once one of Ah Xing's admirers, but after being rejected by Ah Xing, not only did he not get angry, but became friends with A Xing. And Ah Xing also cherishes this friend very much, and relies on him to introduce many big officials and nobles in Tiandu, which is also one of the reasons why ordinary people don't dare to trouble Tingsong.

Ah Xing hurriedly said, "Please come in." ”

Ah Xing walked to the door to greet her, the attendant represented the master, and Ah Xing naturally gave great respect.

Coming in was a neatly dressed young man in his twenties, who handed a post to Ah Xing and said respectfully, "My lord invited the girl to have dinner in the Qizhen Building in the evening. My family said that there would be many adults from the court and an important guest. It's just a general fun meal, so the girl doesn't have to be nervous. ”

Ah Xing nodded and said with a smile: "Tell your family, Li Xing must go to the appointment on time!" ”

After Chief Zhang's attendant left, Ah Xing took the post and looked at it, and Yun Duo smiled on the side and said, "This Lord Zhang must have made a bet with someone again and invited you over to play prestige!" It's really strange that such a serious Prime Minister Zhang Cheng would have such a fun-loving son! ”

Ah Xing remembered Zhang Zhao's meat bun face, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "But Master Zhang is really a good friend, he has helped me a lot, even if I occasionally accompany him to eat." What does it matter if he gets a little proud? By the way, why haven't the two sisters come back yet? ”

Yun Duo looked out the window at the sky and wondered, "Yes, I've been out for two hours, and I should be back." ”

"I don't know what they bought!"

Yun Duo walked to the door and opened the door, looked outside, and then said with a smile: "They are back, big bags and small bags, and they have bought a lot of things!" ”

The Chen sisters walked in breathlessly, and when they came in, they put the things in their hands on the desk, and then sat down on the chairs next to them, slumping on the chairs and crying out that they were tired.

Chen Ying tilted his head, panting, looking like he was about to die, and said: "I can't use light work, I just walked on two feet for two hours, my feet hurt to death, and I won't go shopping with this woman next time!" As he spoke, Handhouse pointed weakly at Chen Jing next to him

Chen Jing was also too tired, and when she heard Chen Ying's words, she reluctantly sat up straight and pointed to the things on the table and said unconvinced: "Accompany me shopping?" Are you embarrassed to say that? Half of the stuff here is yours! As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the table and counted as he flipped through them: "Two boxes of gouache." Two clothes, three hairpins, two pairs of embroidered shoes, and a few bags of snacks are all yours! ”

Ah Xing looked at these things that Chen Jing picked out, with a surprised look on her face, looked at Chen Ying and smiled: "Sister Ying, you actually buy these things?" ”

Yun Duo also looked at Chen Ying with an incredulous face, as we all know, Chen Ying is the least fond of dressing up, and sometimes looks at his sister to draw eyebrows. I'm going to laugh for a long time.

Chen Ying couldn't help blushing under everyone's strange gaze, and then jumped up as if she had been stepped on her tail, and stammered, "I...... What's wrong with me buying these! I...... I'm a woman, too...... The boss is not small......" Seeing the deeper and deeper smiles on everyone's faces, her face turned even redder, lowered her head and rushed to the table, picked up her things and said, "I won't tell you, I'm back in the room!" He turned around and left.

Ah Xing shouted behind her: "Zhang Zhao will invite you to dinner in the evening, will the two sisters also go together?" ”

Chen Ying couldn't help but stop, turned around, and showed an embarrassed expression on his face, "...... at night"

Chen Jing chuckled and said, "She made an appointment with Wang Gang's kid to go to dinner and go shopping in the night river after dusk!" ”

Chen Ying rarely showed a twisted expression. Ah Xing suddenly, she had already seen that there seemed to be something between Chen Ying and Wang Gang, but she didn't expect it to be like this!

Wang Gang is the head of the theater, which is equivalent to the head of security. He is down-to-earth and very bloody. He was also a person in the rivers and lakes before, and then he was tired of the wandering life in the rivers and lakes, so he looked for this job in Tingsong, at first Chen Ying saw that he had some ability, and his competitiveness drove him to try it, who knew that compared with the two of them, they actually compared their feelings.

Looking at the sweet look on Chen Ying's face, Ah Xing was sincerely happy for her. It's been two years, the Chen sisters have been by her side for two years, from 18 years old to 20 years old now, they are already old girls in this era, she once persuaded them to leave, there is no need to be trapped by her side for the oath with Shen Yuanfeng, to live the life they want to live, I remember that they answered her like this at the time, "The life we want to live is to be with you, the life with you is colorful, we like it very much." And we didn't stay entirely for the oath with Shen Yuanfeng, but because we all like you very much and are willing to live with you. We have no father and no mother, in our hearts you are our little sister, your relatives are our relatives, unless you don't want us to be by your side! ”

What else can A-Xing say? They shared weal and woe with her, and in her mind she had long regarded them as relatives, and they were willing to live with her, and her heart was naturally very happy. But seeing that they are getting older and older, but the lifelong events have not been settled, she is still very worried in her heart, and now that she sees the affection between Chen Ying and Wang Gang, she finally relaxes.

Ah Xing smiled and said, "It's good for Sister Chen Jing and me to go in the evening, Sister Ying, you and Steward Wang have fun!" ”

Yun Duo pushed Chen Ying out of the door and said mischievously: "Go and dress up, put on the new clothes you bought, dress up beautifully, so that Steward Wang can't take his eyes off it!" ”

Ah Xing and Chen Jing couldn't help laughing.

Chen Ying stomped his feet outside the door and said angrily: "You actually made fun of me!" Villain! It's all bad guys! With that, he ran away.

After Chen Ying left, Yun Duo aimed the target of ridicule at Chen Jing, and said with a smile: "Sister Chen Ying has already fallen, and it will be Sister Jing's turn next!" She walked over and touched Chen Jing's face, and said with a wicked smile: "Thin skin and tender meat, I don't know whose man has such a good fortune?" ”

Chen Jing pinched her wrist, screaming in pain, Chen Jing let go of her hand, tapped on her head, and said with a smile: "Little Nizi, you dare to make the old lady happy!" I think you are the one we want to marry the most! Where's that Chong brother of yours? Haven't returned from the tour yet? ”

Yun Duo's face became a little strange, and she glanced at Ah Xing, "What's my brother Chong, Sister Jing, don't talk nonsense!" I'm gone, it's not fun! With that, he turned around and trotted away.

A-Xing looked at her back and frowned slightly.

Chen Jing looked at the direction in which the clouds were going, and then at A-Xing, as if she had woken up to something, touched her ears with some embarrassment, and said, "I seem to have said the wrong thing......

Ah Xing pulled Chen Jing's hand and smiled: "Sister Jing, it's not too early, let's go too." ”

Zhang Zhao was very thoughtful, he had already sent a carriage to wait at the door. In addition to the coachman, there was also the attendant who had just delivered the sticker. The attendant got out of the car and opened the car door, and invited Ah Xing and Chen Jing to get into the car.

The car drove slowly on the street, and after a while, it arrived at the largest restaurant in the city. It is said that this treasure building is very capable, everything that swims in the water, climbs on the ground, as long as you can afford the silver, you can eat it. The consumption here is expensive, but every day is a thriving business, full of seats, and a better private room can not be booked if it is not booked in advance.

The attendant greeted Ah Xing and the others to the private room on the second floor, and said as they went upstairs, "My family has arrived." ”

Chen Jing grabbed Ah Xing and whispered in her ear: "It's still the same, I'll wait for you downstairs." ”

Ah Xing also whispered: "Sister, let's go in together, it's boring for you to eat downstairs alone." ”

Chen Jing shook his head: "I'm not comfortable eating with those officials, I must not be full, you can spare me!" ”

Ah Xing smiled, but she also knew that this kind of meal was very boring, and it was normal for Chen Jing to be unaccustomed to it, so she said, "Okay, just order whatever you want." ”

"You're welcome, I'm going to eat eight-treasure duck."

Chen Jing turned around and sat down at an empty table downstairs, while Ah Xing went upstairs with her attendant, stopped in front of a carved wooden door, and knocked on the door.

Ah Xing heard Zhang Zhao's cheerful voice inside: "It must be Miss Li Xing who is here, I didn't lie to you, I said that I will definitely be able to invite Miss Li Xing out for dinner!" Then the door opened, revealing Zhang Zhao's round, smiling face, "A-Xing, come in, I'm waiting for you!" ”

Ah Xing smiled at Zhang Zhao and said, "Master Zhang, you're making fun of me again!" When she walked in, she was greeted by a two-meter-long screen embroidered with delicate pictures of flowers and birds, through which she could faintly see the figures sitting in the room.

Zhang Zhao raised his head and smiled, and said heartily: "I said that I am friends with the owner of Tingsong Theater, but they don't believe it!" I had to prove it with facts! ”

Because Ah Xing is beautiful and takes care of such a large theater at a young age, she has already become a legend in everyone's minds, as long as it is a man, there is no one who doesn't want to invite A Xing out to eat and chat. But A-Xing doesn't like to socialize by nature, except for some important people who need to socialize, other people really don't want to pay attention? Otherwise, just accompanying these people to eat would be busy to death, so Ah Xing refused all the invitations of ordinary people, and over time it gave people a cold feeling.

But fortunately, Ah Xing's theater is irreplaceable, everyone likes to listen to the drama of Song Theater, so they are more tolerant of A Xing, and A Xing is still more polite to these adults, all the officials who like to come to her theater to watch the play, every time on the official's birthday, A Xing will always give a gift, just this sincerity, is enough for everyone to forgive her for some small willfulness.

Ah Xing smiled, "What is there to show off when you are friends with me?" ”

Zhang Zhao shook his fingers and said proudly: "You don't know this, I don't know how many people envy me!" ”

Someone in the middle shouted, "Master Zhang, what are you still muttering?" Let Miss Li in! ”

Zhang Zhao shouted inside, "What's the hurry!" Then he lowered his head and whispered to Ah Xing, "It's all my friends, you don't have to be nervous." ”

Ah Xing has always admired Zhang Zhao, although he looks rough, he always shows his careful side from time to time.

"Master Zhang asked Ah Xing to come, and Ah Xing was naturally not nervous." A Xing said.

Ah Xing followed Master Zhang over the screen and came to the inner room. The room was spacious, with a large round table at which sat five men in official uniforms, most of them under the age of 30. Zhang Zhao smiled and introduced Ah Xing one by one, "I am the youngest here!" Zhang Zhao smiled indifferently.

Ah Xing slandered him in his heart, even if he was the youngest in official position, but his father was Zhang Xiang, who would dare to underestimate him?

Ah Xing saluted respectfully to several adults, and several adults had amazing expressions on their faces, but they were all scholars, so they did not lose their temper, and their expressions were very kind: "No courtesy, no courtesy, it is really our honor to be able to eat at the same table with Miss A Xing today!" ”

Ah Xing smiled and said politely: "The words of the adults are really tormenting the people's daughters, and it is the honor of the people's daughters to be able to eat at the same table with the adults!" ”

After Ah Xing sat down next to Zhang Zhao, he politely and politely talked to the adults, several officials have never seen A Xing, but they have already heard of A Xing's fame, today I felt that it was not the same thing as the legend, in their imagination, the owner of the Song Theater should be beautiful, charming, exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, but I didn't expect it to be such an elegant woman like a hollow valley orchid, her beauty is like air slowly penetrating into people's hearts, making people feel comfortable all over, so that people dare not have any blasphemy.

Zhang Zhao saw that several colleagues were a little stunned, and the smug look on his face was even worse.

At this time, Ah Xing noticed that the main seat was still empty, so she asked Zhang Zhao beside her in a low voice: "Lord Zhang, are there any guests who have not arrived?" ”

Zhang Zhao told her: "There is another distinguished guest! But you don't have to be nervous, this distinguished guest is also a very friendly person, everyone is just having a meal together tonight, and there is nothing important. ”

As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door, and Zhang Zhao smiled: "Just talking about him, he came." ”

The other officials all stood up when they heard the knock on the door, and Ah Xing also hurriedly stood up. Zhang Zhao walked over the screen to the door and opened the door, Ah Xing heard his loud voice with respect: "It's really an honor for a junior official to invite Prince Burtai to come, prince, please." ”

Then there was a deep and deep male voice: "Lord Zhang, if you are so polite, Xiao Wang will be embarrassed." ”

Footsteps sounded, and one person took the lead in stepping out from behind the screen.

Ah Xing couldn't help but look up, only to see that the person who came was very tall and strong, and at a glance he only looked at the chest of the visitor, which was about 1.9 meters by sight, and a black robe completely outlined the muscle lines on his shoulders and back. As soon as this person appeared, there was a domineering momentum rushing towards him, giving people a heavy sense of oppression. Behind him was a thin, grim-faced man who held a long sword, and even though the sword was unsheathed, it still gave people a chill.
