Chapter 197: It's like I've seen it
Yi Yugang sat down, although he saw Shen Jiantang staring at him as he had in the flower hall before. didn't think that Lu Zhihui would ask directly, and subconsciously looked up at Li Tai, facing his gaze.
The two glanced at each other, Li Tai looked sideways at Shen Jiantang, and saw that he was staring at Yu Yu with "squinting", his eyes did not leave her, and he replied to Lu Zhi's words:
"It's just that Sister Lu looks very familiar."
Sister Lu? After Yi Yu said this, a layer of goosebumps appeared on the back of her neck, she had grown so big, and she had never been shouted so numbly.
Before Lu Zhi answered, Li Tai shook the wine glass in his hand lightly, and opened his mouth to say, "Who you have seen is not familiar." β
Yi Yu was a little surprised, although Li Tai's tone was cold, but his words were relaxed, obviously with this Shen Gongzi.
Shen Jiantang was demolished by him, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but turned his head seriously and said to him: "When you look closely, you feel familiar." β
Lu Zhihe couldn't understand what he meant, but Li Tai could understand that Shen Jiantang had come to the secret mansion twice at night before, and he had seen Yu Yu. But across the distance, you can't see it really, and you don't feel familiar, so when you look closely, you feel familiar.
Shen Jiantang likes to joke, but when he keeps his face up, he never tells lies, Li Tai is suspicious, but he is afraid that he, who is not a good mouthful, will say something messy in front of the Lu family brothers and sisters, so he didn't ask him again.
Seeing that they were all seated, Ah Sheng beckoned to the subordinates at the door of the flower hall and motioned for them to serve the food.
Yi Yu only thought that Shen Jiantang was joking, and said, "I don't remember seeing Shen Gongzi, I guess you remember wrong." β
She thought it would be cold to sit in the courtyard, but in fact it was very warm, the east wind was blowing tonight, and she was sheltered from the wind by sitting under the high courtyard wall, and there were two braziers on the side of the table, and Lu Zhi was sitting on the west side for her, and she didn't feel cold at all.
Shen Jiantang moved his gaze to her again, his face was no longer the smile he had before, although he was still staring, it didn't make her feel so uncomfortable.
"I don't mean I've seen you, I think you're familiar... Like, like I've seen it somewhere..."
One moment he said he hadn't seen it, and the other he said it seemed to have seen it. This preface did not match the afterword, which made Yu Yu couldn't help laughing.
The next moment she smiled, Shen Jiantang's pupils shrank suddenly, and Li Tai, who was sitting next to him, keenly noticed the stiffness of his body, and before he could speak, he put the wine glass on the table, making a small knock, just right to wake up Shen Jiantang, who was almost out of shape.
His left hand under the desk shook slightly, took two sips from the wine glass in front of him, and stopped staring at the jade as before.
Lu Zhi and Yi Yu didn't notice Shen Jiantang's momentary disappointment, but when they saw that his gaze was taken away from Yu Yu, their hearts were a little more relaxed.
The dishes were put on the table one by one, and Yi Yu was too active in the afternoon, and when he came back, he only ate two pieces of dim sum, and he was feeling hungry, and after Li Tai got off the chopstick, he concentrated on eating, and didn't think about Shen Jiantang's strange attitude before and after.
It's not the first time that the brother and sister have eaten with Li Tai, and now they live in a house, and they don't see anyone who looks up, so they know a little bit of his temper. Sitting together again did not show a sense of crampedness.
After eating a few bites of food, the waiter carried a stack of three-layer delicate green bamboo drawer cages in the middle of the long case, hot white smoke rose out, and as soon as it was opened, the smell of incense burst into the nose, which made people's appetite move.
The white smoke dispersed, only to see the four white small soup dumplings in the cage, the buns were mostly used as breakfast, this dinner time to see, the jade was somewhat strange, but seeing this pleasing little bun, I didn't think much about it, I put one in my own plate, and ate a few other dishes, before I picked it up again, blew it twice, took a small bite of a piece, and some hot soup flowed into the mouth.
"Huh?" Yi Yu's nasal voice sounded softly, and the three people on the table looked at her at the same time.
Yi Yu swallowed the food with some embarrassment, put the soup bag he had bitten into the plate, looked at the pink filling exposed inside, and said softly in Lu Zhi's puzzled eyes: "This is like a bun in a shop." β
The taste of this bun is extremely special, you won't forget it once you eat it, the buns that Cheng Xiaofeng brought to her in school that morning, the taste is exactly the same as the filling, the day of the meal in Hongyue Building, Cheng Xiaofeng also pointed out to her by the window that the steamed bun shop that had closed, saying that the cook who made the buns had returned to her hometown. Why did this bun pop up here again?
Li Tai glanced at her, took a bun and put it to his mouth, and after only one bite he put the rest on the plate without making any comments.
"That's right, this bun is made by the chef of that shop, if you think it's delicious, you can eat a few more, and there will be no more of this shop in this village." Shen Jiantang drank two glasses of wine, had a smile on his face again, took a bun and threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it in three or two bites.
Yu Yu asked: "Why did Shen Gongzi say this?" β
Shen Jiantang poured himself another glass of wine and explained, "This cook who makes steamed buns, I will take it away tomorrow." β
Although Lu Zhi knew about "Yixian Shop", he still saw the bun for the first time, and took away the last one in the top drawer cage, and after tasting it, he felt that the taste was indeed very good.
Yi Yu heard Shen Jiantang say that he was going to take away the cook who made the steamed buns tomorrow, wondered about the relationship between the two, and wondered how the cook entered the secret mansion of King Wei to cook, she didn't want to ask more, but when she thought of Cheng Xiaofeng and Cheng Xiaohu's disappointed eyes when they mentioned the closure of this steamed bun shop, she asked out loud:
"I heard that this cook went back to her hometown, so she didn't continue to open the door to do business, and she was going to go with Shen Gongzi. Is her bun still open? β
Shen Jiantang pulled out the empty cage on the top layer and motioned for her to move, "No, what else do you want to open when everyone leaves with me, haha, how good it is to go home and only eat for me alone." β
Hearing his words, Yi Yu nodded lightly knowingly, and when the relationship between the cook and Shen Jiantang was between men and women, he didn't say anything more.
Li Tai, who was sitting opposite her, saw a little pity on her face, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the flower hall. The faint woman's voice grew louder and louder:
β... I want to see the prince... Let me go, I want to see the prince! Don't pull me! Your Highness! β
In addition to Li Tai, the three of them turned their heads to look at the entrance of the flower hall at the same time, and saw two rough servants pulling a girl wearing a pomegranate red skirt one after the other, and the girl broke free from them while shouting "Your Highness" at Li Tai's side.
After a few pulls by a few people, she jumped up with a soft cry, and her legs were drawn to the maid who was pulling her one after the other, and when the two of them hung their arms to resist, she twisted her body and ran towards the east wall.
"Your Highness!"
Zhou Rui knelt on the ground outside the velvet blanket facing Li Tai, raised a small face with tears, looked at Li Tai with reddened eyes, his voice trembled a little, and whimpered:
"Your Highness, what you said in the afternoon is true? Slave maid don't go with this thief, slave maid not only steam buns, but also do a lot of things, please don't drive slave and maid away. β
Faced with this sudden situation, the faces of the four people present were different, and after Shen Jiantang smiled, with an evil smile on his face, his fingers tapped on the table, squinted his eyes, and said to her lazily:
"Miss Zhou, since the prince gave you to me, then you are my person, I let you before, it was because of you Wei Wangfu, but now, hum! Whether you want to or not, whether you want to or not, whether you want to or not, you have to go with me, go pack your things, and when this meal is over, go back to the south with me, and give it to me obediently... Otherwiseβhuh! β
After Li Tai's voice fell. Only two words were spoken, "Go down." β
Two lines of tears flowed from Zhou Rui's reddened eyes, his eyes moved from Li Tai's cold and hard face to Shen Jiantang's "yin smile" face, his teeth were bitten, and he resolutely took out a sharp dagger from his arms, and before he could hit his neck, Ah Sheng, who thought she was going to stab, stepped forward, kicked out, and his toes flexibly rubbed her wrist, and the dagger bounced into the air, and Ah Sheng raised his head steadily to catch it.
was snatched the dagger by Ah Sheng, Zhou Rui panicked, choked up and said to Li Tai:
"Your Highness, don't go with him, if so, if you have to let me go with him, then I will die! The slave and maid have to stay, life is your person King Wei, and death is also your ghost! β
She shouted out these slightly threatening words incoherently, Shen Jiantang's deliberately pretended smirk instantly stiffened on her face, Lu Zhi's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, and Yu Yu turned her numb neck to look at Li Tai.
Li Tai met Yi Yu's eyes sideways, but when he saw that the pair of bright black pupils under the night light were flickering with an unusually strange light, his eyes narrowed suddenly, he snorted coldly, put the silver chopsticks in his hand on the surface of the mat, and made a jingling sound when he touched the porcelain.
When Yi Yu heard the crisp collision sound on the table, she felt a feeling of depression that she hadn't seen for a long time, and it enveloped her again, and with a chill on her back, she heard Li Tai's deep voice:
"Ah Sheng, give her the dagger."
"Yes." Without asking too much, Ah Sheng turned the dagger around, pinched the sharp end himself, and handed the handle towards her.
Zhou Rui was slightly stunned, wiped her tears with one hand, quickly took the dagger with the other, pressed it against her neck, and turned her head to look at Shen Jiantang and Li Tai.
Yu Yu, who was very sensitive to the low pressure on Li Tai's body, shrunk her neck, she guessed that the girl who suddenly appeared was the cook, but she was confused by the relationship between her, Li Tai and Shen Jiantang, and hesitated whether to help this girl say something.
Li Tai took the wine glass on the table, looked at the lantern under the eaves opposite, and said in a deep voice: "This king counts three times, and gives you the opportunity to cut off on your own, if not, you will know what life is better than death." β
The words "life is better than death", he pronounced it very lightly, but the Yu who was leaning on Lu Zhi's side couldn't help but tremble lightly, and was about to open his mouth, but Lu Zhi pressed her hand on the velvet blanket and shook it a little hard.
Shen Jiantang saw that he made a big fuss with a small joke, and wanted to stop it, but turned his head to Li Tai's side face, saw the strange pupil on the left with a ghostly light, his throat twitched, and he hurriedly swallowed the words back.
