Chapter 11 Gifts and Exchanges
Nangong Ling was dragged up from the bed by two maids in the morning, freshened up, changed clothes, and worked for half an hour.
Then, looking at Dongfang Yu's mask-like smiling face, he finished breakfast without knowing anything, and went out to get into the carriage together.
"Let's go!" Nangong Ling said, "Where are you going?"
"Ling'er can go wherever she wants," Dongfang Yu said: "As long as you can accompany Ling'er, you can go anywhere!"
"I said, can you please stop saying such sensual things. Nangong Ling rubbed his arms, "Now that there is no one else in the carriage, you don't have to act anymore." ”
"What do you mean by Ling'er, is it because my sincerity is not enough?" Dongfang Yu was a little surprised, but still said with a smile.
Nangong Ling pursed his lips and said, "Don't pretend you don't understand, if you don't want to say it, forget it." Just don't open your mouth again. ”
Dongfang Yu looked at her, so he didn't speak again.
"Hey, where is that?" asked Nangong Ling, pointing out the window.
Dongfang Yu took a look at it and said, "That's a newly opened shop by a Western merchant, and there are a lot of fresh things in it." Why don't we go in and have a look. ”
"Okay!" Nangong Ling said, "Just go there and have a look." ”
The carriage stopped at the door, Dongfang Yu got out of the car first, and then stretched out his hand to Nangong Ling.
"No!" Nangong Ling jumped off directly holding on to the frame of the car.
Dongfang Yu withdrew his hand, looked at her, and frowned. Nangong Ling, who was squeamish before, would not do such a thing.
"One family. Nangong Ling looked up at the signboard of the store and said, "The tone is quite big, it seems that the business is good!"
A Westerner standing at the door to greet the guests came over, with curly hair, golden-brown eyes, tall stature, speaking fluent Mandarin, and smiling at them, "Guest officer, please inside." ”
This should be Italian, I don't know if it has anything to do with Marco Polo. Nangong Ling walked in while looking.
The shop has a wide variety of goods, including felt cloth, all kinds of jewelry, spices, medicinal herbs, leather goods, lacquerware, and so on.
No wonder you dare to call the four seas a family, it is really a collection of items from all over the world.
Nangong Ling picked up a gadget, opened it and looked at it, it was actually a pocket watch.
"Ling'er likes this?" asked Dongfang Yu.
Nangong Ling asked the Westerner directly: "Man, how much is this?"
The Westerner smiled and said, "This young lady, this ten taels of silver." ”
"Oh!" Before Nangong Ling could take out the money, Dongfang Yu had already paid the bill. Nangong Ling looked at Dongfang Yu and gladly accepted it. Accompanying a woman to go shopping, of course, the man pays.
Nangong Ling bought a pocket watch and a wind-up eight-treasure music box in this shop, all of which were paid by Dongfang Yu.
"Don't you have anything to buy?" Nangong Ling looked at Dongfang Yu and didn't pick anything, and asked.
Dongfang Yu shook his head and said, "It's useless." ”
"Oh!" Nangong Ling said: "Then let's go, you gave me a gift, and I will treat you to lunch today." But don't get me wrong, it's just a courtesy. ”
"Okay, courtesy. Dongfang Yu said: "The front is Tongfu Restaurant, go there." ”
Dongfang Yu led Nangong Ling to the private room of Tongfu Building.
Nangong Ling felt familiar as soon as he entered the door, and when he arrived in the private room, he remembered that this was not the place where he went out to eat with Xia He last time! Thinking of this, Nangong Ling was a little uneasy, this time don't meet that decrepit person again.
In a short time, the food and wine were served, and the table was full.
"You ......" Nangong Ling was dumbfounded, "It's too much, how can we finish eating?"
"More?" Dongfang Yu said, "I'm following your previous habits." You didn't know how to move chopsticks without a ten-course dish before. ”
"I ......" Nangong Ling said: "That was before, now I feel that ordering too much is too wasteful, so many dishes, you can share them with your subordinates." ”
"That's not right, right?" Dongfang Yu said.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Ling stood up and looked at the dishes on the table, and said, "This, this, this, and that, these four dishes and one soup are left, and the rest are distributed to the rest of the people, let them eat outside." ”
"You ......" Dongfang Yu looked at Nangong Ling and said thoughtfully: "It's really different from before." ”
After shopping all morning, Nangong Ling was also hungry, and a gust of wind swept the clouds, and the dishes on the table were eaten.
"Uh!" Nangong Ling burped contentedly and put down his chopsticks.
"The taste of this restaurant is really good!" Nangong Ling saw that Dongfang Yu didn't move his chopsticks much, and said, "Have you eaten enough?
"I'm full!The food tastes really good!" Dongfang Yu raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine.
"Oh, just eat enough!" Nangong Ling rubbed his stomach and spread it on the chair and said, "I have to rest, it's too supportive." ”
Dongfang Yu got up and paced to the railing, looked at the street outside, and said, "Ling'er, don't sit still after eating, come and stand for a while." You can see the scenery here is really good, you can see the Hongqiao in the distance. ”
"Ahh
"Be careful!" Dongfang Yu grabbed her shoulders, hugged her in his arms, and said, "Don't lean so close to the railing, it's dangerous!"
Nangong Ling pushed with both hands, turned around and retreated from Dongfang Yu's embrace, and said, "Thank you, I'm not so delicate." After saying that, he sat down directly on the railing.
Dongfang Yu glanced at the opposite upstairs, smiled, and sat back in his seat.
