Chapter 10: Choosing a Martial Skill

On the way back, the atmosphere seemed to be a little dull, a man and two women had their own thoughts, but it was not easy to confide, only to slowly move forward with the convoy,

When the convoy arrived at the county town of Donghai, half of the red remnant sun on the horizon had already hidden under the horizon.

Thinking that another day of practice had been wasted, Lin Chen couldn't help but shake his head, turned over and dismounted, stood on the street, looking at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in front of him, which was originally a city but was now a little cold, Lin Chen was silently distracted, thinking about what kind of person this eldest son of the Li family was.

"Why are you stunned, go in, we are guests today" Mu Liuyan, who came from behind, gently patted Lin Chen's shoulder, Lin Chen came back to his senses and was about to step forward, thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, as if there was one person missing, turned his head to look, Zhou Ting somehow disappeared, Lin Chen walked back to the convoy, only to see Zhou Ting still sitting in the sedan car and seemed a little at a loss,

"Ting'er, what's wrong?"

"Ah, Brother Lin Chen, that, this, what kind of person did you say that the eldest son of the Li family was, would he be very clean on the surface, but actually very much in secret"

"I can't guarantee this, but since I'm here with you today, I'm sure I'll do my best to protect you."

Looking at the slightly handsome face outside the sedan chair, Zhou Ting also seemed to be relieved, bowed down and got off the sedan chair, and followed Lin Chen towards the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

"Miss Zhou, why are you so slow, are you afraid that that Li Gongzi will eat you?" Mu Liuyan stood aside and watched Lin Chen and Zhou Ting slowly come over, opening their mouths and pretending to be a big gulp,

"No, I've been sitting in a sedan chair for too long, it's a little stuffy, I have to slow down, I'm not afraid of Lin Chen's presence" Zhou Ting hooked Lin Chen's arm and said to Mu Liuyan,

"Eh, it doesn't matter if you're afraid or not, don't hook up with my family's Lin Chen" An arrow stepped up and forcibly pulled the two apart, Mu Liuyan crossed her thin waist and looked at Zhou Ting with her chest up,

"Why are you like this?"

"That's what I'm like, what's wrong"

Seeing that the second daughter was about to face each other again, Lin Chen on the side hurriedly came up to persuade, "What are you two big girls fighting about on this street, don't make trouble, follow me in, don't let people see jokes."

The two girls snorted at each other, and then the battle stopped.

Rejecting the guidance of the maids on both sides of the door, Lin Chen took the two girls into the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion is known as the best restaurant in Donghai County is not without its reason, after the three people enter the door, they can not hear a trace of ridicule outside the building, the potted plants on both sides are all selected high-grade jade for the pot, Mobei Xianglan is the scene, the faint fragrance permeates the aisle, open the jade bead curtain, the first floor of the front hall is four carved dragon white jade pillars are placed in the five sandalwood round tables, behind the round table is a half-meter-high square stage, the left and right sides of the six private rooms are separated by jade screens, three or three on the side, the inside can look outside and the outside to see the inside.

"Lin Shao, Miss Zhou, Miss Mu, three please, the eldest prince has been waiting upstairs for a long time"

Li Jing went down the stairs next to the curtain, took the three of them up to the second floor, and walked up to the second floor, only to see dozens of delicious dishes on a mahogany round table in the middle, and the white-clothed man sitting on the first seat had distinct facial features like a carving, the bridge of his nose was high, and the sword eyebrows on his thin lips were smiling, looking at Zhou Ting who came upstairs, the man in white got up, and said softly in a slightly magnetic voice: "I happened to witness Miss Zhou's face today, and I was shocked, and I hereby chartered the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to set up a banquet to invite Miss Zhou to get together, during which it was a little abrupt, and asked Miss Zhou not to be surprised"

"Li Gongzi is too worried, and Zhou Ting is also grateful to be invited by Gongzi" Zhou Ting was also born in a large family, and the words at the dinner table are still presentable.

"So good, ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Li Mingning, a person from the Li family in the imperial capital, good luck was born early, the eldest of the younger generation in the family, others call me Li Dagongzi, Ting'er girl just call me Brother Ning, this is Guo Shaohua Guo Shao, a child of the Guo family in Donghai County. Li Ning heard Zhou Ting's reply, her tone was a little excited, but her logic was not chaotic, and she introduced Guo Shaohua on the left hand side to the three of them

"This is Lin Chen, the son of Lin Yun of the Lin family, this is Mu Liuyan, Lin Chen's aunt" Zhou Ting also introduced them one by one.

Lin Chen and Mu Liuyan nodded slightly, Li Ning and Guo Shaohua's eyes did not stop on Lin Chen, when they saw Mu Liuyan, their eyes were also amazing, but they also retracted their gaze appropriately, not to provoke Mu Liuyan's disgust,

Lin Chen also looked at the two of them in his eyes, and he didn't have anything to say, he had no strength or not, and he didn't have enough identity as the young master of the Lin family, and after nodding his head, he stared at the dozens of delicacies on the table, in fact, Lin Chen was hungry for a long time, he rode a horse for a day, and so many things happened at noon, and he didn't eat enough, how could these delicacies in front of him not attract Lin Chen.

Mu Liuyan on the side had long been accustomed to the changes in Li Ning and Guo Shaohua's eyes, but she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lin Chen's eyes staring at the dishes on the table, just as the so-called red face smiled at Bai Meisheng, the deep dimples next to the corners of her mouth matched the playful expression, Li Ning and Guo Shaohua were slightly stunned for a while, Lin Chen saw too much anyway, Zhou Ting saw that everyone's eyes were attracted by Mu Liuyan, she was a little annoyed, and took the opportunity to ask: "I don't know if Gongzi Li set up a banquet to invite me here, what is the matter?"

"Oh, that's right, Miss Ting'er, my father sent me to Donghai County, on the one hand, to visit my cousin, and on the other hand, to sharpen me, I heard that Miss Ting'er's family is engaged in the medicinal herb business, I believe Miss Ting'er has also heard of Lingzhi Hall."

"Lingzhi Hall, the second largest medicinal herb merchant in the Great Xia Empire, the Chamber of Commerce is located in the five central and northern provinces of Great Xia, how can I not hear of such a big reputation?"

"That Ting'er girl should also know that the headquarters of this Lingzhi Hall is located in the Black Iron City of Lingdong Province in Mobei, and in recent years, the business has been done in the imperial capital, because the Lingzhi Hall is too famous, causing many small medicinal material merchants in the imperial capital to switch to other places, forming a situation where the Lingzhi Hall is dominant, resulting in a sharp rise in the price of medicinal materials, and the chaos of the imperial capital medicinal materials market, if my Li family comes forward to help the Zhou family gain a foothold in the imperial capital and promote the Zhou family's medicinal materials, and then use the relationship to let the empire suppress the Lingzhi Hall to support the Zhou family, I believe that Miss Ting'er, your Zhou family's medicinal materials can be invincible in the imperial capital”

"Li Gongzi helped my Zhou family like this, how should I report to the Zhou family" Zhou Ting also knows the stakes, since Li Ning said so, he must have asked the Zhou family, thinking of today's events, his face suddenly turned crimson,

"Haha, don't mention it for the time being, I just think that I fell in love with Miss Ting'er, this is enough, I believe that my Li family and Zhou family will definitely have more opportunities for cooperation in the future, everyone eats vegetables and eats vegetables" Everyone is a smart person, Li Ning saw Zhou Ting's ruddy cheeks, and he already knew that his mind had been conveyed to Zhou Ting's heart, just wait for things to be done, this affection that stayed in the girl's heart will slowly ferment and heat up.

Lin Chen and Mu Liuyan on the side knew that the focus of this meal was not themselves, and they had already taken advantage of the two of them to talk and constantly swept the food on the table, Guo Shaohua was in the way of face, and just caught between Li Ning and Zhou Ting, and had to listen to the conversation between the two, looking at Lin Chen on the opposite side of the mouth full of oil, in fact, he was very envious, but he couldn't show it yet, and then look at Mu Liuyan, it was also a piece of this and that, the cherry mouth chewed slowly and was also very happy, Guo Shaohua supported his head with one hand, rubbed his stomach with the other, and soothed the stomach that was screaming, and finally waited for Li Ning to open his mouth to eat vegetables, Guo Shaohua was like hearing fairy music, One reached out and put the biggest pork knuckle on the table into his bowl, and after taking a bite, it slipped on the table, and the four people on the table were stunned for a while, Lin Chen was the first to can't help it: "Hahaha, Brother Guo, you are also lustful, you are really temperamental, I, Lin Chen, convinced!"

"Lin Shao is right, Guo Shao, this is my fault, it was a dinner but I was chatting, come on, I will punish myself with a glass" Li Ning can bear it, and he lifted the wine glass and drank it all.

And Zhou Ting and Mu Liuyan, as women, couldn't say anything, so they had to cover their mouths and laugh.

"Well, this, then as Brother Lin Chen said, I'm not pretentious, I'm really hungry" After Guo Shaohua finished speaking, he took another piece of pork knuckle and ate it in a sullen voice,

A joke narrowed the distance between everyone's original strangers, and based on this, everyone chatted freely.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, after all, the banquet was dispersed under Guo Shaohua's tilted head, and during the meal, Lin Chen also secretly matched Zhou Ting and Li Ning, which made Li Ning also happily respect Lin Chen for several glasses, and Zhou Ting was still a little annoyed at first, but the performance was not able to show it, and later she let it go, and Zhou Ting felt that she couldn't be like Mu Liuyan beside Lin Chen, pouring wine for Lin Chen's vegetables, patting Lin Chen's back and persuading Lin Chen to drink slowly when Lin Chen was drinking, and when the banquet was dissolved, she helped Lin Chen, who was full of wine, to sit on the sedan chair together。 Lin Chen may be really good, but he has a Mu Liuyan who is better for him, and he can't even do it like Mu Liuyan, so how can he make Lin Chen like himself?

Maybe Li Ning is more suitable for himself.

Sitting on the sedan chair of Huilin's house, Zhou Ting looked at the stars in the sky,

Lin Chen, who was asleep leaning on Mu Liuyan's shoulder, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.
