Chapter 272: Surrendered
When he reached the fourth floor, the shopkeeper stood at the top of the stairs, opened his body to the side, and said to the three people: "Three guest officers, the fourth floor has arrived, please." When the three of them had gone up, he turned and went downstairs.
The three of them looked confused, they thought he was going to take them directly to the box, but they put them at the top of the stairs and went downstairs? So what do they do next? Which private room are you going to?
Just as they were questioning, Zheng 13 walked over and said to the three with a smile: "Hello, three guest officers, I am the person in charge of the fourth and fifth floors, please come with me." With that, he turned and walked forward, and the three immediately followed.
Zheng 13 led them to the Hanmei room, opened the door of the box, stood aside, invited the three of them in, and then said, "Three guest officers, please wait here." Then he gently closed the door and went out.
The decoration in the Hanmei room is the same as the willow room, the difference is that the vase in this room is not a willow, but a cold plum, and the Hanmei is not a real Hanmei, after all, it is not winter, it is a Hanmei folded with a cloth, but it is really like a real Hanmei, and the three of them praised Jiang Wang again and again.
ββBefore I even tasted the food, I was already half impressed by the restaurant of the small town house: the unique creativity, the thoughtful service, and the wonderful decoration are all eye-catching.
"It's very different from the No. 1 restaurant in the world." The third prince commented, "I just don't know if the cooking skills can be comparable to the first restaurant in the world." β
"It's only two days since it opened to attract so many customers, and it's exciting to see how good it is." Jiang Wang said.
The three of them didn't wait for a while, there was a knock on the door, and then Zheng Shisanhe walked in with the bottom of the pot and the side dishes. After putting the bottom of the pot and side dishes and taking out the dishes, Zheng Shisan asked the three of them: "May I ask the three guest officers, do you need a drink?" In addition to the common liquor, the restaurant also offers homemade fruit wine and juice. β
Jiang Wang and the three of them are all men, so naturally they don't like any juice and fruit wine, so the three of them all ordered bamboo leaf green.
Then Zheng Shisan carefully introduced the three of them to how to eat hot pot, and then withdrew.
After that, how the three of them were amazed by the deliciousness of the hot pot is not mentioned much because it is too repetitive.
Cai Xiaoxiao didn't know about the arrival of Jiang Wang and the others, and at this time, Zhao Kangcheng also returned to the restaurant after buying jewelry and came all the way to the kitchen.
He originally wanted to give the jewelry directly to Cai Xiaoxiao, but later saw Cai Xiaoxiao busy in the kitchen, thought about it, and guessed that she didn't have time to receive gifts now, so he put the box back in his sleeve and planned to give it to her later in the evening.
Just when he was about to go out, Cai Xiaoxiao saw him and shouted in surprise: "Xianggong? β
Zhao Kangcheng turned around, Cai Xiaoxiao wiped his hands, walked over, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come back so early today?" β
"There's something, so I'll come back early." Zhao Kangcheng said, after thinking about it, he asked again, "Are you busy now?" β
Cai Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said, "It's not busy, what's wrong?" β
Zhao Kangcheng said: "It's okay, if you want to be busy, you can be busy first, I'll wait for you in the courtyard." With that, he turned to go out.
Cai Xiaoxiao grabbed him and said, "Don't wait in the yard, go to the box, I asked people to put some books and chessboards in the box, you won't be too bored when you go to the box and wait, I'll go to you when the pot is fried." β
Zhao Kangcheng didn't expect Cai Xiaoxiao to be so well prepared, he smiled, reached out and rubbed Cai Xiaoxiao's hair, and said, "Okay." And he went out.
Zhao Kangcheng walked to the fourth floor.
When Zhao Kangcheng passed by Hanmei Room, it happened that the door of Hanmei Room opened, and a person dressed as a small maid walked out and beckoned a shopkeeper to come over.
Zhao Kangcheng glanced at it, and when he was about to cross over, Jiang Wang, who was sitting in the room facing the door, saw Zhao Kangcheng passing by the door at a glance, and couldn't help shouting: "Zhao Kangcheng." β
Zhao Kangcheng was about to move forward, and when he looked back, he saw the three Jiang Wang sitting in the room: "......" He had the urge to continue walking forward for a moment.
However, reason still let him walk into the Hanmei room, bowed to the three people seated, bowed down, and shouted one by one: "I have seen the prince, the third prince, and the prime minister." "But I wondered why these three people were here?
"Lord Zhao doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Jiang Wang stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhao Kangcheng actually wanted to refuse, but the other party's identity was there, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to sit down helplessly.
After he sat down, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't need him to serve the three of King Jiang, there was a small servant next to him to wait, but the third prince took the initiative to pull him to talk, and his attitude was very intimate, as if the two had known each other for a long time, which made him full of doubts in the process of replying-
Usually in the court, he has spoken to the three princes for no more than ten sentences in total, and the two of them are nodding friends when they meet, why is the third prince so familiar with his attitude now?
When Zuo Xiang saw Zhao Kangcheng, his mood was a little complicated. For Zhao Kangcheng, he naturally admires him very much, whether it is his talent or his style of doing things; But when he thought that his daughter liked him, Zuo Xiang's mood was complicated, but when the third prince was talking to Zhao Kangcheng, he still occasionally accosted him.
At this time, King Jiang suddenly asked, "Lord Zhao, where is your wife?" β
Regarding King Jiang suddenly asking about his wife, Zhao Kangcheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Back to the prince, the inner son is busy." "In the kitchen?" Jiang Wang asked with interest.
"Yes." For Jiang Wang, they seem to know their situation very well, Zhao Kangcheng is not surprised at all, it can be guessed from the appearance of these three people here, I am afraid that they have already investigated him clearly, but he doesn't understand why they want to investigate him? Is it a test for the new officials of the court?
No matter how Ren Zhao Kangcheng guessed, he would never have guessed that they all wanted to win him over, after all, he was just an insignificant petty official in the court now, and he had never thought of participating in the struggle between them.
Jiang Wang smiled: "Your wife has a good cooking skill, and this hot pot amazes us." β
Zhao Kangcheng said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you for the praise of the prince on behalf of the lower officials." β
Since Zhao Kangcheng entered the box, his expression has been faint, this is the first time he has smiled, or because he heard King Jiang praise his wife, which makes the three of them think of the rumors among officials that Zhao Kangcheng is a man who favors his wife, and now that he looks at it, it is indeed the case.
