Chapter 323: Don't get too close to the Zhou family
"Our eldest lady didn't order this dish."
As soon as the winter solstice opened, I saw the shopkeeper bring another dish.
But the dishes in the room have been served early in the morning.
At this time, the winter solstice was still staring at the shopkeeper vigilantly.
"This is a guest from the second box of Tianzi, specially ordered for this lady."
"What's that?"
Meng Zhiyi in the room also heard the sound of their conversation and asked.
"Big lady, the second little man in this restaurant said that the guest on the other side of the Tianzi No. 2 box ordered a dish for you."
The shopkeeper also continued, "It's a West Lake beef soup."
This dish, she liked to drink it when she was in Jiangnan City before.
But when I came to Kyoto, I really didn't drink anything authentic.
In addition, she is still pregnant and her appetite is not very good, so she no longer wants to eat other things.
What memory was suddenly opened, and Meng Zhiyi's face turned a little colder.
"What kind of guest? What do men and women look like?"
Hearing Meng Zhiyi's cold voice, Dong Solstice immediately realized something.
These habits of the eldest lady are most familiar to her except for the Meng family.
Even the prince probably didn't know that the eldest lady loved to drink this West Lake beef soup very much when she was young.
But because she drank too much when she was a child, she became a little tired when she grew up, and gradually drank less.
In addition, when he came to Kyoto City, there was no authentic one, so Meng Zhiyi never drank it.
The winter solstice threatened the shopkeeper, "If you don't say it, we won't accept it."
The shopkeeper had no choice but to say, "It's a son, and he looks quite noble, but I don't know the name specifically. I'm just an errand runner, and I can't ask about the identity of the guests."
The shopkeeper said he was very embarrassed, "Girl, just accept this dish."
At that time, he received the silver taels from the person who had passed the message, and he must give this dish to the lady inside, and he must finish it.
Dong Solstice turned his head to look at Meng Zhiyi.
Meng Zhiyi bowed slightly, and asked the shopkeeper to bring the dish in.
When the winter solstice came back from closing the door, Meng Zhiyi asked the winter solstice to take the dish aside and put it aside.
Zhu Xiang, who was sitting in the room, was a little puzzled when he saw Meng Zhiyi's operation.
"Is there anything wrong with this dish? Did someone you know give it to you?"
"It's no problem, it's just that my appetite has changed now and I don't want to drink this." After Meng Zhiyi finished speaking lightly, he continued the topic just now.
"That's all I can do, and the rest is up to you at home, and it's up to you to decide."
Meng Zhiyi immediately told Zhu Xiang what Lu Nanfeng said.
But at this time, she looked at Zhu Xiang's expression and felt that she didn't listen to her.
However, these Meng Zhiyi can also understand that if it were her, her family would be arrested in Dali Temple, and she would not be able to calm down.
Zhu Xiang sat with his brows furrowed, thinking about this matter all the time, "Actually, I also know that we can't do something, but I'm just worried about my father."
Zhu Xiang bit his lip, and tears were about to fall again.
Meng Zhiyi was holding chopsticks and tasting the dishes here.
The dishes here are quite in line with her taste, and Meng Zhiyi has a great appetite now.
"Miss Zhu, if I were you. I'm not just trying to get people back. It's about protecting you, the rest of your family."
Zhu Xiang heard Meng Zhiyi's words, and looked up at her suddenly.
Meng Zhiyi lowered his head and was seriously owing the fish to eat.
Dong Solstice stood aside, a little anxious, and said in a low voice, "Big lady, I'll shave fish for you!"
"Alright! This fish is also good to eat. You sit down too."
Meng Zhiyi also pulled the winter solstice to sit down next to him.
The winter solstice was not polite, and after helping Meng Zhiyi also pick up some fish, he also picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate some. Chinese Net
Zhu Xiang was a little surprised when he saw the operation of the master and servant.
Although Meng Zhiyi is not the daughter of a high-ranking noble, she is also the daughter of the richest man, and her upbringing since she was a child will not be bad.
How could she treat one of her maids like this?
Soon, though, she was able to figure it out.
Presumably this maid has been by her side since she was a child, and they have a deep relationship, so there are not so many rules.
At the same time, Zhu Xiang also thought of another meaning.
Meng Zhiyi was able to pull the maid to her side to eat in front of her, does it also mean that she did not regard herself as an outsider?
That's why she said those heartfelt words.
"Thank you, Lady Shiko, I see." Zhu Xiang replied softly.
"You can eat some first. I see you've lost a lot of weight lately."
Meng Zhiyi has never been a cold-blooded person.
On the contrary, if she does not harm her own interests and does not violate her wishes, she is actually very willing to help others.
Maybe this is also inherited Meng Xing, although Meng Xing is now in Kyoto, and he no longer holds charity events every year, but he is still helping other people.
Where can Zhu Xiang eat?
She hadn't had a proper meal in days.
Just as he was looking down and thinking about things, he saw a pair of chopsticks appear in front of him.
It was Meng Zhiyi who sandwiched a piece of tofu for her.
This is a piece of light shallots mixed with tofu.
Meng Zhiyi also took a piece and ate it.
"Look at this tofu, it looks very white and tender, but when it is stirred with these vinegar sauce and shallots, it will lose its original white and tenderness, but it will become more flavorful."
Zhu Xiang listened to Meng Zhiyi finish saying this sentence in a daze.
savored the meaning of her words.
Is her father like this piece of tofu now?
Although he was innocent before, how could he still be the same as before when he entered the court?
Since her father was arrested by Dali Temple, she has been busy wanting to see her father, and she wants to find more contacts to clear up her father's grievances.
But she never got to know her father.
Zhu Xiang picked up the chopsticks and picked up the piece of shallots mixed with tofu.
"Thank you, Mrs. Shizi, for this dish, it's so good to eat."
"You can eat it if you like."
Zhu Xiang didn't sit still, and after eating with Meng Zhiyi for a while, he found an excuse to leave.
But when she was leaving, she paid the money.
Meng Zhiyi ate a little slowly, and deliberately waited for the winter solstice.
The girl on the winter solstice hasn't eaten outside for a long time, and she can't be hungry at this time, so she just bows her head and shows off her food.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
Dong Solstice put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked to the door.
It's still the little guy who just got there.
At this time, she was holding a letter in her hand.
"Girl, someone asked me to give it to Madame."
"What is it this time?" Winter Solstice looked at the little guy very suspiciously.
It's only been a while, why are they sending things to their boxes one after another?
Is there any rule?
"It's an epistle! Someone wrote it to his wife, and asked the girl to show it to her wife."
When the shopkeeper finished saying this, he was a little embarrassed.
The lady in this box has already been married at a glance.
Why did he show his face, and he was targeted by the guests in the other boxes, and he showed favor one after another.
"Bring it in."
Meng Zhiyi is also reluctant to think about it now.
Since it was delivered, she took a look
。
Her emotions can't be easily swayed.
Even if she knew who had sent it, she wanted to see it.
After Dong Solstice took the letter, he closed the door, opened the letter and handed it to Meng Zhiyi.
After Meng Zhiyi opened it and looked at it, it was a familiar note in her impression.
It was just a few words.
"Don't get too close to the Zhu family."
It seems that Zhou Yongheng has already seen the matter of Zhu Xiang's private meeting with her, and it is also what Zhu Xiang is looking for her.
So, Zhou Yongheng must know something.
Meng Zhiyi clutched the page tightly in his hand.
Dong Zhi looked at Meng Zhiyi's somewhat blue face, a little worried.
"Big lady......
"I'm fine, keep eating!"
Meng Zhiyi pulled out a smile, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.
In fact, she forgot that she had already put down the dishes and chopsticks just now, and she had already eaten almost enough.
After eating. Dong Solstice opened the door of the box and helped Meng Zhiyi out.
Meng Zhiyi took a special sideways glance at the box on the second floor.
At a glance, I saw the Tianzi No. 2 room at the end of the second floor, and the door in the box was closed at this time.
In the box, Mrs. Xiao Zhou was drinking wine with Zhou Yongheng.
"Actually, I've long wanted to come and accompany my husband, have a meal out with him, and take a walk together. What a comfortable life it is."
Zhou Yongheng smiled lightly, "Since Madame said so, I will often take Madame out from now on. It was my negligence, I was so busy with the affairs of the court and the middle of the world all day long that I forgot that my wife was very bored alone."
When Mrs. Xiao Zhou heard Zhou Yongheng say this, she bowed her head and smiled very shyly.
But soon, she reacted.
Zhou Yongheng has always known these sweet words. But in fact, the things are different.
Thinking like this, the smile on her face faded a little.
Coincidentally, Zhou Yongheng heard a happy voice from Xiao Er in the shop outside.
"Madame, let's go."
This lady is none other than Meng Zhiyi.
It seems that she has eaten well and is about to go back.
Zhou Yongheng, who was holding a wine glass, was a little distracted, and Mrs. Xiao Zhou hadn't found it yet.
He added food and put it on a plate in front of him.
Zhou Yongheng suddenly put down the cup in his hand at this time,
"Madame, it suddenly occurred to me that I had some other things. You drink here first, and I'll go out."
"But ......"
Are you deliberately trying to keep me here? Don't you want to eat with me?
Zhou Yongheng had already stood up resolutely, "When my guests come over later, Mrs. Lao Fu will help me speak, and I will be back soon."
Since he said so, Mrs. Xiao Zhou didn't worry that Zhou Yongheng would leave her here alone later.
She is also generously considerate, Zhou Yongheng really has something to do.
