Chapter 40: Appearance Comes First
For a while, the lobby of the nameless restaurant, which was originally empty, was crowded with guests, and it was very lively.
Xi Xiaoshen hurriedly reacted and went straight to the stove room to help Mu Bai, and the plates of food she served were swept away by those female diners in a blink of an eye.
They quickly paid the copper money, then pulled the sleeves and wiped their mouths, and then they all walked to Jiang Ye with shy faces and bowed their heads, and hugged him in order without pushing or shoving.
While Xi Xiaoshen was busy collecting money, she looked at the busy ground and hugged the female diner with a smile.
Who said that Jiangye did not contribute to the nameless restaurant?! The top sales champion with such strong business ability is really hard to find even with a lantern!
He attracts business with his excellent appearance and wisdom, and he can be called both talented and beautiful!
Absolutely convinced!
The nameless restaurant has Mu Bai and Jiang Ye, two peerless characters, supporting the field, and the daily progress and gold are just around the corner!
In just half an hour, the ingredients in the nameless restaurant were sold out, but the number of female diners queuing at the door increased until a long queue formed......
For Xi Xiaoshen, counting the money and cramping his hands is simply the happiest moment in his life. But in Xijia, which is hundreds of miles away, there is an undercurrent.
Outside the gate of the high-walled house, two big red lanterns with the word "Xi" written on them are hung.
A woman dressed as a matchmaker stepped over the threshold with heavy steps, shook her head and sighed from time to time, and finally stamped her foot, threw off her handkerchief, and twisted her waist and swung her hips straight to the white-walled and tiled hall.
"Oh, Mrs. Xi, third uncle, you are all here......" The matchmaker squeezed out an embarrassed smile and greeted those Xi family elders flatteringly.
But under the eager gaze of Mrs. Xi, Rao is she is well-informed and experienced, and she can't pretend anymore.
The matchmaker took out a post from her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Xi with an embarrassed face: "The eldest lady's eight-character poster has been returned again." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xi immediately stretched her face, and the other elders were sighing, and some were even talking softly.
"The big families in this town have said it once, why didn't any of them agree? Could it be that the eldest lady of our Xi family is destined to marry a poor man?"
"Hey, I can't complain about others, who would dare to marry if my reputation is bad, but who wouldn't pick and choose from anyone whose family background is okay......"
"Her temper also has to be changed, and her arrogance is too arrogant, and the previous son of the Chong family just can't bear it......"
"Ahem......" Someone suddenly deliberately cleared his throat, and the discussion stopped abruptly.
At this moment, a graceful woman in a purple gauze dress walked outside the door, and her appearance was like a bright and dazzling light, dispelling the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the hall.
She pretended not to hear the discussion of others, squinted at the matchmaker in front of Mrs. Xi, raised her chin arrogantly, and sneered: "You claim to be the most valuable matchmaker in this town, and if you don't make it, forget it, even if the other party withdraws from the marriage, there must be a reasonable reason!"
"Miss......" The matchmaker didn't dare to look directly at her contemptuous eyes, and stammered to explain, "That, that son, he, he thinks you are too good-looking, so he is afraid that he will marry you in the future, and he will patronize and look at you during dinner, and after a long time, he will lose weight!"
Hearing such an absurd reason, Xi Xiaocan was almost so angry that she vomited blood, and her voice was directly raised: "What, according to what you say, if anyone marries me, can they still lose weight?!"
"No, I didn't mean that......" The matchmaker saw Xi Xiaocan lose her temper, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.
"Then what do you mean! Last time, he said that I was too rich and felt that I couldn't climb high, but his father was obviously the richest man in Qixia Town; last time, the one was even more outrageous, saying that he didn't like women, but not long after he got out of marriage, he married the ugly aunt of the blacksmith family in the west of the town, isn't that just laughing at me? And this time, this ......" Xi Xiaocan's stomach burst out all at once.
"Miss, Miss, listen to me......" The matchmaker was shocked by her domineering appearance for a while, and she didn't know how to round the field.
"What else is there to say, you make up some inexplicable reasons, they are all deceitful lies!" Xi Xiao was angry and immediately interrupted the matchmaker's words.
"......" The matchmaker looked at Mrs. Xi helplessly, hoping that she could relieve herself at this moment, but Mrs. Xi just shook her head and said nothing.
"Hmph, don't they just mind that Miss Ben is engaged, and her fiancé has been abducted by a monster again! Miss Ben won't marry if she doesn't even dare to tell the truth!" Xi Xiaocan became more and more angry, her delicate face was almost distorted, she was furious and rushed out of the door, and the maids hurriedly chased forward.
"Get out, get out of my ......" Xi Xiaocan reprimanded the maids, rushed into her boudoir and slammed the door, she grabbed the teapot on the round table and smashed the vanity mirror, smashing everything in the room that could be smashed.
"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste! dare to look down on Miss Ben......" Xi Xiaocan stretched out his hands to pick up the incense burner on the rosewood desk, raised it high, and fell down as if venting.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a light breeze brush her ears, and lit all the candlesticks in the room, and in an instant they were as bright as day.
"Miss, don't come unharmed, don't get angry. Xi Xiaocan heard a familiar voice, hurriedly raised his eyes, the two doors opened automatically, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dust whisk strode in.
His eyes were sharp as blades, and behind him, there were two young men dressed similarly, one male and one female, with a dull and expressionless appearance.
Xi Xiaocan's heart trembled, stretched her neck to look out of the door, and the maids who usually chased her tightly and croaked were gone.
"Wen Dao, you can't even look at that demon girl, are you embarrassed to come to me?" she scolded Wen Dao with her head and face, this is the Xi family's mansion, and there are guards day and night, he doesn't tell in advance, but he goes in and out at will, it's just arrogant!
The townspeople of Qixia Town reveled for the half-demon drowning, but Xi Xiaocan was not happy at all.
She suspected that Xi Xiaoshen was not dead at all, since she was a demon, how could she die easily! The body that Xi Xiaoshen disappeared inexplicably is the best proof, however, she didn't know where Xi Xiaoshen went.
What made her feel even more annoyed was that Chongxiaoxiao not only ran away from marriage, but also ran away from home, so she didn't even have a chance to vent.
Now that she can't get married, the neighbors know it, and all this is strange for Xiao Ash and Chong Xiaoxiao! She has a hunch that they must be together, as long as she thinks that they are still out and happy, she can't eat or sleep.
