Chapter 37: The Dawn of the Dawn
Shen Lixing was very happy when he learned that Zheng Jilan had come to the house, he didn't expect his grandmother to move quite fast, what he said yesterday, he started to go to Zhang Luo today, he really deserved to be a good grandmother who loved him.
He couldn't sit still, I don't know if this Mrs. Gao will be like Gao Shiman, who fell in love with Su Qian. Looking for an opportunity to go to the upper room, I saw Zheng Jilan smiling, laughing with the old lady, he felt a little at ease, and Zheng Jilan saw the courtesy, and said with a light smile: "My cousin and aunt haven't seen me for a long time, but they haven't changed much."
Zheng Jilan knew that Shen Lixing also fell in love with her daughter, and unconsciously looked at him more and more pleasing to the eye, and when she heard him say that she was well-maintained, she couldn't help laughing: "It's still Yantang who can speak, my family Man'er always asked me not to break the Guyuan cream, saying that that thing is for beauty, as if I am already old and yellow, and I have to make up for it." ”
This is a bit heart-wrenching, and Gao Shiman will definitely not follow it if he hears it. Of course, people's mothers are just joking with her, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, isn't it just to exaggerate Shiman's ability and make Guyuan ointment.
Shen Lixing heard her mention Gao Shiman, and his heart suddenly became soft and soft, and his face overflowed with a smile: "Aunt cousin, don't wronged that girl, her filial piety to you is not comparable to anyone."
When Zheng Jilan heard this, she felt very comfortable, this is not good, he will protect it, very good. Even though he is more and more satisfied with Shen Lixing; She asked with a smile: "Shiman always came to the house to bother, didn't bother you!" ”
"No, she is very well-behaved" Shen Lixing thought about taking her on a horse that day, she was in high spirits at the beginning, she was full of trouble and stared at sleep, and finally sat softly on the horse's back and hugged him, the silly little man snuggled in his arms, which made him feel at ease and look forward to it before. Thinking so, there was also a touch of tenderness in her eyes, Zheng Jilan saw it and couldn't help nodding secretly.
It's hard to buy a favorite, there is a man who cares for him from the bottom of his heart, as a woman, what more can a husband ask for? Zheng Jilan couldn't help but rejoice for her daughter.
The conversation here is very happy, but Aunt Du is in turmoil over there. Mrs. Gao rarely comes to the Shen Mansion, usually only during the New Year's Festival, and usually just gives some gifts to each other, but today she came here inexplicably, and went to the old lady after only saying a few words, and she couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart.
Although she knew that Shen Lixing would marry a wife one day, he had never been enthusiastic about this matter, as if she had enough frame for not marrying a wife; She has always been Shen Lixing's only woman, although the old lady Shen, the mother of the Shen Mansion, did not wait to see her and never allowed her to go to the room, but before last night, she was still very satisfied with the current situation, and she wished that Shen Lixing would never marry a wife.
Even if it is to marry, it is best not to be the Miss Gao family, the first time she offended her in Daoxianglou for overthrowing Ling'er, the most important reason is the sixth sense from Du Yuxin, since last night, she vaguely felt that Shen Lixing had someone else in his heart, and this other person might be Gao Shiman.
Of course, the world will not do according to anyone's wishes, there are times in life that need to be there, and there are times in life when there is no need to force it.
And Gao Shiman, who didn't know anything about it, was preparing the so-called big meal for Qin Er and them in the kitchen of Daoxianglou. Slowly fry the marinated grass carp pieces in a pot over low heat until golden brown, then pour boiling water and cook into a hot pot, this is the main dish; I made fish balls, smoked fish, sweet and sour fish, and a dry fried fish, and fried eggplant and a few vegetarian dishes, and when she was done, Qin Er was talking and laughing with Qian Daoyi in the private room in the morning, and Li Ling sat on the side and drank tea by himself, and did not participate in them.
The guys set up the hot pot and set up the dishes according to her requirements, Qin Er sniffed twice and said, "Well, it's so fragrant, is it a whole fish feast today?" ”
Li Ling also raised his eyelids when he smelled the fragrance, and swept towards the table.
Gao Shiman smiled and said: "Today is a gathering of heroes, and the fish will hold a meeting, so you will be satisfied." ”
Qin Er beckoned everyone to a banquet, and Gao Shiman took the lead in giving Qian Daoyi a piece of fish in the hot pot and put it into his plate with a smile: "Uncle Qian, you haven't eaten this yet, borrow flowers to offer Buddha today, you can taste it."
Qian Daoyi said with a smile: "You sit down and eat, you've been busy all morning, look at the sweat on your head" Ling'er stood behind and listened, and hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"Shiman has worked hard, this cold day, he actually sweats" Qin Er was about to feast, and when he heard Qian Daoyi say this, he glanced at Gao Shiman.
Gao Shiman thought Ling'er was clumsy, snatched the handkerchief and wiped it on his head, and threw the handkerchief aside, Li Ling looked at her and couldn't help frowning secretly: It turned out to be a rude girl, no wonder she was willing to mix with the vulgar cooks in the kitchen!
If Gao Shiman knew that the birdman looked at her like this, he would definitely squirt out a mouthful of tea. However, people rarely pay attention to her, and she deliberately maintains a polite social distance from her, she has always been a very malleable person, and Qin Er, an outgoing and uninhibited person, she can fight in minutes, and for Li Ling, a person who ignores people and thinks highly of herself, she can also do it without squinting, and it will never be her fan to catch up, she firmly believes that women are at risk of self-humiliation at any time.
Therefore, she never took the initiative to say a word to Li Ling, she is a noble prince, she is an ordinary official lady, in this era of strict hierarchy, unless Li Ling crosses the trench that she is difficult to cross, she will never take the initiative to post it to please others. In her opinion, this Li Ling is very high, and the risk of self-inflicted humiliation has soared greatly, so it is better not to provoke it.
Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, he suddenly heard a string of hearty laughter from the door: "So you are also here?" Gao Shiman turned around, only to see a somewhat elegant man walk in, a dark ink brocade robe added a bit of heroism to him, and then look at his face with a little smile, Gao Shiman secretly said that he is a young talent.
I only heard Qin Er shouting: "Third Master, you are here!" It's better to meet by chance, we're getting ready to have a banquet, please take a seat! Then he ordered them to bring some more dishes.
Li Ling still had that faint expression, and nodded to the man: "Third brother."
When Gao Shiman heard this, he said in his heart, could it be that this person is Li Shi, the third son of the emperor? Isn't it the one Shen Lizhen almost married, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times curiously.
When the third master saw Gao Shiman looking at him, he asked with a smile, "This young lady is ......?"
Qin Er hurriedly introduced: "This is Miss Gao, my friend."
Without waiting for Qin Er to introduce the person again, Gao Shiman hurriedly stood up and said, "The third master is polite", and Qian Daoyi also got up and saluted.
The third master nodded with a smile and said, "No need to be polite, since you are Mengde's friend, then you are also my friend." Miss Gao has a noble temperament, refined manners, and a calmness that is different from other young ladies, and she must be a person with poetry and books."
When Gao Shiman heard that this person spoke so highly of her, although she was polite and many people were not surprised, she had to admit that she was very useful to listen to.
She hooked the corners of her mouth and thanked: "I dare not be ashamed, the third master has a good reputation, and there is a cloud in the book: 'Wisdom will be hurt, love will not live, and strength will be humiliated; Humble gentleman, gentle as jade', I used to only think that this kind of humble gentleman should only be in heaven, how many times in the world to hear, today I see the third master and the little girl to know the mistake! ”
People don't want money to praise her, she naturally reciprocates the favor, who can't say beautiful things, just want to say it.
Qin Er laughed when he heard this: "Okay, you are Gao Shiman, you are actually a sweet-mouthed person, why didn't you listen to you praise a few nice words in front of my brother, I will be cold!" ”
The third master also smiled and quipped: "It's really interesting."
Li Ling looked at Gao Shiman's attitude, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart: At a young age, he actually learned to slap horses, what a full of economy and flattery.
How could Gao Shiman know that Li Lingzheng was watching coldly and secretly slandering her, listening to Qin Er say that she was as cold as she could for him, smiled and comforted him: "Mengde is not annoying, close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, since we are friends, we will have to meet often in the future, and under the influence of your ears and eyes, you will definitely be close to Zhu Zhichi."
Qin Er was about to say don't get close to the ink black, Li Ling said: "Hurry up and use the dishes", he hurriedly changed his words: "Come, everyone, you're welcome, try today's new dishes."
Everyone laughed and began to eat.
Qin Er took two bites and praised: "It really has a different taste."
The third master looked up and said strangely: "It does taste very different from before, you haven't eaten the dishes in this building?" ”
Qin Er nodded and said honestly: "Today is a food trial, I really haven't eaten it before."
Gao Shiman didn't make a sound, they were all men present, and there were two princes, so it was better for her to say less and make fewer mistakes.
"Yes" The third master tasted the fried eggplant and said, "I have never touched this eggplant, I didn't expect you to make it so delicious here."
"Then you will have a good fortune in the future, you can come here often to eat" Qin Er glanced at Gao Shiman and said with a smile on his face.
"Coming to eat often? That master's money bag can't stand it. "Although he is a prince, there are rules for his application, even if he has money to eat in the restaurant every day, he is known by the imperial history, and he will not hand over bullets to the emperor to impeach.
Qin Er smiled, but Gao Shiman had a flash of inspiration. She smiled and said to Qin Er, "I have a good idea. ”
Qin Er swallowed his mouthful of food and said, "What kind of way to say, let's listen to it."
Gao Shiman pondered: "You can classify the guests in the restaurant, and those who come often can give him a gold medal, which can be discounted by 20%; Occasionally, a silver medal can be discounted, or other conditions as a reference, in short, the guests who come to our restaurant will not go to other restaurants, retain the guest, and maintain him, so that he becomes our most loyal customer. For the guests who take the brand, they will be given certain priority in terms of positioning the price of the private room."
Qin Er's eyes lit up when he heard this, a person like him who was rolling in the business field understood everything as soon as he heard it.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Gao Shiman and said, "Fortunately, it's a friend" If Gao Shiman and him are rivals, he will really have a headache.
Gao Shiman glared at him and continued to eat. She saw that everyone didn't know how to put hot pot dishes into the hot pot, so she motioned for Ling'er to come over and add ingredients to it.
The third master looked at it and smiled: "Is this also a new way to eat, Mengde, after your brand is made, you must give me a gold medal."
Qin Erle said: "The third master is in charge, rest assured, you are indispensable!" ”
