The corners of Song Qinyu's lips curled, and she couldn't hide her joy, "It's been a busy morning, you haven't eaten yet, there is a restaurant here, and the food tastes good, why don't you go and try it together?"

"It's fine." Shen Ling didn't twist, since he promised to stay, it was inevitable to face Song Qinyu.

Song Qinyu took Shen Ling to the largest restaurant in Yancheng, and met Taojuan, Luo Yuheng and Zhuqing who were looking for Shen Ling on the way.

Zhu Qing immediately squeezed Song Qinyu beside Shen Ling and stood beside Shen Ling.

"Sister, why have you been there for so long?"

Shen Ling explained, "Because I want to return the land to the old man, I delayed for a while."

Zhu Qing nodded knowingly, raised his eyes and asked, "Then will we leave now?"

"No," Shen Ling said and rubbed Zhu Qing's head, "We haven't relaxed well since coming here, and now that the locust plague has been resolved, let's play here for a while."

Song Qinyu smiled on his face, like a spring breeze.

"Yes, it's time for dinner, this king and the county lord are about to go to Zhenyulou for dinner, if you don't dislike it, if you go together, you can also let this king fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Taojuan pulled Luo Yuheng and said with a smile, "Then we're welcome."

A few people talked and laughed and came to the restaurant, Zhen Yulou is worthy of being the largest and best restaurant in Yancheng, and the decoration inside is very exquisite.

The lobby on the first floor is very spacious, with a half-height platform in the middle where Kaki sing, and the surrounding seats are arranged around the middle platform, with a screen between each table.

When they entered the door, they were greeted by a little er, who was neatly dressed and had just the right smile on his face, which would not make people feel overly enthusiastic or cold.

Seeing Song Qinyu, Xiao Er asked, "The city lord is here, are you still going to the old place?"

Song Qinyu also has some socializing from time to time, and often chooses the location here, and the more times he comes, Xiao Er also remembers it.

Hearing the inquiry, Song Qinyu nodded in response.

"Well, the old place."

"A few of you, please." Xiao Er leaned over and stretched out his hand, led everyone in front of everyone's side, and led everyone to the box on the second floor.

Song Qinyu made a generous move and ordered many special delicacies in the restaurant.

When eating, Song Qinyu took a chopstick fish and put it on the empty plate, carefully picked the thorns, and put it in Shen Ling's bowl.

"This crucian carp is delicious, the county lord tastes it."

Shen Ling smiled and ate it, but in fact, his toes were already awkwardly snapped to the ground.

She didn't feel anything when Jing Ci helped her pick thorns and pick vegetables for her, but now when it comes to Song Qinyu, Shen Ling only feels extremely awkward.

However, Song Qinyu didn't know Shen Ling's thoughts, and it didn't take long for him to clip the fast yellow beef into Shen Ling's bowl.

Before Shen Ling could say anything, Zhu Qing was one step ahead of Shen Ling and took the yellow beef in Shen Ling's bowl away.

Zhu Qing ate the yellow beef in one bite, and said to herself, "There is coriander on it, my sister won't like it."

Song Qinyu was stunned, her hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and she was a little dark.

He smiled apologetically at Shen Ling, "I was negligent."

Shen Ling shook her head, "It's okay, it's normal that you don't know my preferences."

This sentence made Song Qinyu's expression darken, compared with the people around Shen Ling, he still knew too little about Shen Ling.

After the group finished eating, Song Qinyu looked at Shen Ling's expression, and took the initiative to propose, "There is also a gambling house in Yancheng, I don't know if the county lord is interested."

"Oh?" Shen Ling raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "The prince has also been to the gambling house here?"

Song Qinyu touched her nose in embarrassment, "In order to investigate the case, I have been there once or twice, but not much."

He didn't know much about Shen Ling, he only knew that she liked to watch the excitement, and the gambling house was the most lively place, with everyone from peddlers and pawns to powerful businessmen.

"Then let's go check it out." Shen Ling got up, anyway, it was still early, and she didn't know where to go.

Everyone left the inn, followed Song Qinyu's footsteps, and went to a gambling house called Proud.

Under the governance of Song Qinyu, the gambling houses here are different from other places, although there are everyone on the first floor, and the noise is abnormal, but there is no trouble.

According to Song Qinyu's introduction, the gambling house here has set a threshold, and the upper limit of the amount of money that can be gambled on each floor is different, and you need to have enough money and capital to go to a higher floor.

The group didn't go upstairs, just walked around the first floor.

Seeing that Shen Ling had been unable to keep up his spirits, Song Qinyu pointed to the gaming table next to him with fewer people and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

"Okay."

Shen Ling nodded cooperatively and walked over, it didn't seem to be good to come to the gambling house and not play.

When the guy in the gambling house saw Song Qinyu, he teased, "City Lord, what case do you have to investigate this time?"

"No, this time I'm bringing a friend." Saying that, Song Qinyu also pointed at Shen Ling.

The guy followed Song Qinyu's movements and saw Shen Ling, and smiled at Shen Ling kindly, "Thanks to the county lord, my mother's fields in the fields have not been completely plagued by locusts, and I thank the county lord for my mother."

Shen Ling was modest, "It's nothing, it's just a gesture."

The guy asked as he put the dice in the tube, "Is this the first time the county lord has played it?"

"Hmm."

"Then let's play a little simpler, press the size." Saying that, the guy shook the cylinder in his hand, and the sound of the dice hitting the wall of the cylinder was rattling, and the people around him placed bets one after another, and Shen Ling also pressed the bet casually.

I don't know if the guy deliberately released water for Shen Ling, or because Shen Ling was lucky, he could hit eight times out of ten.

At the beginning, Shen Ling was still a little interested, but after playing too much, it didn't feel interesting.

Shen Ling was not interested, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift away, it had been several days since he asked Xi Jian to deliver the letter, why hadn't there been any movement.

Seeing that Shen Ling was obviously out of state, Song Qinyu pursed her lips, knowing that even if she continued to play like this, Shen Ling would not find it interesting.

Although there was a little reluctance in his heart, Song Qinyu still said: "After playing for a day, the county lord must be tired, it's not early, why don't you go back and rest?"

Shen Ling responded lazily, "I'm a little tired, thank you for your hospitality today."

"It's just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, it's nothing."

When a few people left the gambling house, it was already dark, and the surrounding streets were lit up one after another.

The sun left only the last trace of red hanging in the sky, and the moon emerged from the sky, and a few faint stars could be faintly seen.
