CHAPTER XLIV
Zhao Jin quickly retracted her thoughts, don't let herself think too much, and concentrate on preparing the appetizers requested by King Rui, considering that lunch was not long in coming, so she was not prepared to make how luxurious and extravagant, just a plate of peanuts, a cucumber, a plate of pickled pepper and phoenix gourd, a very homely appetizer is a side dish that ordinary friends will order when chatting, and the protagonist is not a dish today. Zhao Jin returned to the private room with the dishes, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Song Qing sitting on the soft collapse with his head hanging and crumbling asleep, thinking that he was usually lively and noisy, but now he looks quite well-behaved, he should be tired from playing and sleepy, and he is so sleepy that he wants to sleep. King Rui stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, told him to follow a few attendants to sleep in the next room, and ordered his men to send him over. Song Qing left obediently, anyway, his requirements had been met, and he was satisfied.
Rui Wang and Shao Wenqing sat opposite each other, looking calm, and when Zhao Jin put the dishes on the table, they didn't even leave her an afterglow, and the waves were turbulent under the calm. Zhao Jin returned to the backyard after delivering the food, and was pulled aside by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was afraid that the god upstairs would embarrass Zhao Jin, and at this moment, he saw that Zhao Jin's expression was as usual and there was no coldness, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at Zhao Jin carefully, he said with concern: "Siya, you are fine." ”
"Shopkeeper, what can I do, I'm a craftsman who knows a little cooking." Zhao Jin stared at the shopkeeper's worried face and said with a relaxed smile. "Shopkeeper, don't worry, the one upstairs is also a person, they all have a pair of eyes, a mouth, a nose, and it's not a monster, are you still afraid that he won't eat me, don't worry, it's okay." I don't think that man is a demon or a monster. ”
As soon as Zhao Jin's words fell, the shopkeeper took over and said, "How can I not worry, although I know that you are a capable girl, but after all, you are still a girl." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper suddenly thought of something, changed the topic, and continued to ask: "By the way, what is the matter with King Rui looking for you several times, could it be that Song Qing's kid took a fancy to you, and King Rui did not agree and then came to you to negotiate conditions to keep you away from him." ”
Zhao Jin couldn't cry or laugh, and really wanted to say: Shopkeeper, your imagination is too rich. Although the cold temperament exuded by the person upstairs would make people feel fearful of him for no reason, he was actually not a great traitor. Zhao Jin looked at the shopkeeper with a worried look on his face, and he had to quickly explain what he said, otherwise the shopkeeper would have to worry about death, and the shopkeeper was also kind-hearted, for her good.
"Shopkeeper, look at what you're thinking, although the person upstairs is extraordinary, but he is not a person who oppresses civilians, I won't look at the wrong person, so you don't have to be so fearful of him, as long as we haven't done anything wrong, why bother to be so awe-inspiring to others." Song Qing and I don't want anything from him, I dare to do things. Besides, that person didn't come to trouble me, but to find Song Qing. The shopkeeper was finally relieved, during this period of getting along, he really regarded Zhao Jin as his own family. After Zhao Jin and the shopkeeper explained the matter clearly, they went into the back kitchen to work.
In the private room, King Rui always felt that he would not look at the wrong person, and the scheming city of the young people in front of him was already very old. The main reason is that Shao Wenqing's reputation is too great, even if he has been living in the backyard for so many years, he has heard a lot of things about his unruliness and profligateness, and even why he was exiled from Beijing to this desolate town to be a small county magistrate. Shot ruthlessly in Beijing, who doesn't let go of his eyes, many people avoid his edge, it's simply the king of Hades in Beijing, and the people who provoked him didn't end well, maybe his father just wanted to leave him a way to live and let him go out of Beijing to cultivate his body and mind, don't be so shocking, Tianzhong talents don't live for long.
But now he is sitting in front of him without any anger, he can't see the depth, Wen Runruyu and the legendary Hades are completely two people, so that King Rui almost wonders if he hasn't come out for too long and heard the wrong rumors, sure enough, there is no simple person in Beijing who is all drama spirits and actors.
King Rui personally filled the two wine glasses with wine, pushed them to the opposite side, and said, "Ziran, we have never drunk together, and today we have the opportunity to drink it happily." After speaking, he took care of himself and toasted a glass again, Shao Wen saw that King Rui had something on his mind, and the drunkard did not mean to drink, he picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and found that it was a good flower carving, and nodded with satisfaction, which was quite enjoyable. He looked carefully at the Rui King in front of him, although it was rumored that he was addicted to wine, but he was born in a royal family with a good foundation and proper maintenance, he can be described as a humble gentleman like a jade gentleman, with a temperament of twelve points, coupled with a very good appearance, far younger than his actual age, looking like a handsome man in his thirties, too young, he suddenly felt cold, his aunt had buried a good year, and the fragrance was lost, and he could see who was more pitiful at a glance.
He suddenly asked, "Lord Wang, have you ever regretted it, have you ever felt guilty?" Rui Wang smiled and said nothing, his eyes flashed slightly, those past events are the things of the previous generation, time is becoming more and more blurred about the original truth, who is right and who is wrong, how can he say clearly, he cup after cup, his eyes began to be a little blurred. The two of them were relatively speechless like this, maybe it was too long, and they didn't know where to start, one drank one cup after another, the more sober one was drinking, and the other was already drunk. Shao Wenqing instructed King Rui's subordinates to withdraw the wine and food, and after taking care of King Rui, he withdrew from the private room.
When he came to the backyard, he saw Song Qing, who had woken up from a nap, surrounding Zhao Jin who was laughing heartlessly, this little one had no conscience, he was drinking upstairs in the dark, and he was indeed here to tease his sister. He also envied Song Qing's ability to express his preferences openly, unabashedly, and live as he wants.
