In the city, the white 'jade' building. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: Π¨Π©Π©.(7)(9)XS.ΡΠΠ.
The second young master of the Hou Mansion gently put the cage in his hand on the table, and there was a white sable in the cage, which looked a little anxious as he put down the vibration of the cage and turned back and forth inside.
"Bai Gongzi. The second young master said embarrassedly, "I didn't catch that civet...... I don't know where it fled to, and the people in the house have searched all over it, but there is no trace of it anywhere. β
Across the table sat a noble man dressed in white brocade, holding a folding fan in his hand. There is no 'jade' crown on his head, only a plain white satin hairband, which is extremely free and easy.
"Didn't catch it?" the noble man shook his folding fan. Reaching out and 'playing' the sable in the cage.
The sable fell silent, his gaze wandering with his fingers.
"Let Bai Gongzi down. The second young master said uneasily.
The noble prince chuckled, "The second young master is serious. I didn't lose anything about this matter, but it's a pity for the second young master...... Lost an opportunity to enter officialdom. β
The second young master moved his butt on the chair uneasily, "Do you have to have a civet dog?"
The noble prince stopped the folding fan that was gently swaying in his hand. "That's the news I got that there are officials from the DPRK and China who want to 'get' a civet at a high price, as long as the second young master you meet the requirements of the guest, it is just a matter of the other party's words to find an errand at that time, as far as I know, the other party is a senior member of the second grade or above. β
The second young master's facial features were all wrinkled together, and he even dreamed of getting an errand for himself, but the errands his father found for himself were just empty names, and even the officials of the seventh rank dared to shake their faces when they saw him.
"Is there any other way?" the second young master pleaded, since his father could not get him a good job, then he could only plan for himself.
The noble prince pondered for a moment, "Actually, you can go back and beg your brother." β
The second young master lowered his head, and the other party continued, "Your brother is also the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it is not a matter of 'desire' to get you an errand in Dali Temple?"
"I asked my eldest brother. But he didn't agree to let me work as an errand boy in Dali Temple. The second young master said sourly.
"Why?" said the noble prince with a surprised expression.
"He said the errand there wasn't for me. β
"Hehehe......" Gui Gongzi unfolded his folding fan and laughed, "I think he is afraid that you will take the limelight from him, so let's go back first, if there is another opportunity, you can come here again." β
The 'door' of the room opened, and a 'waiter' said respectfully, "Guest, please." β
The second young master knew that this was the other party's send-off, so he could only stand up hard, and when he was about to walk out of the 'door', he stood still and turned to the noble son and said: "If this matter reaches the ears of the eldest brother, he will definitely cause a rift to me......"
The noble son shook his fan, "Second young master, rest assured, Bai is a businessman, so he naturally knows what to say and what not to say." β
Only then did the second young master put his mind at ease and said goodbye to the other party.
The 'door' of the room had just been closed, and a person came out from behind the screen in the room.
The sable in the cage immediately jumped up and down excitedly when he saw the man.
The noble son opened the cage 'door'. The sable jumped out and jumped straight onto the man's shoulder, rubbing it affectionately.
"I didn't expect the second young master of the Hou Mansion to be so useless. The noble prince sighed.
"The civet is so cunning that I've let it get away with it a few times before. Gently 'touching' the sable with his hand, the man coughed lightly.
The noble prince stretched out his hand and poured a cup of tea, and said in a low voice: "Prince please." β
The prince only touched the tea with his lips, but he didn't drink it at all, and coughed a few more times before he spoke: "Is the puppeteer properly placed?"
"The prince can rest assured, and he will be placed on the Zhuangzi outside the city, even if the Shuntian Mansion turns the entire city upside down, no one can be found. β
The prince smiled leisurely and gracefully continued to stroke the sable's neck, "Let him stop a little lately." Wait until the emperor sees the excerpts sent by Dali Temple. β
"As you wish. The noble prince unfolded the folding fan, and the sunlight outside the window poured in, shining on his folding fan, and the four big characters gilded on it were shining: Baicai Gongzi.
In front of the white 'jade' building.
Qing Moyan took Ru Xiaonan and dismounted outside the building.
Ru Xiaonan looked up at the three big words "white 'jade' building" shining with golden light, and smelled the fragrance wafting out of the building, and her saliva was about to flow out.
I heard Qing Moyan say that this is the most upscale restaurant in the city, and the dishes in it must be super delicious.
Qing Moyan 'handed over' the horse to Xuan 'Yu' and glanced at her, "Saliva is flowing out." β
Ru Xiaonan hurriedly wiped it with her hands. Nothing.
Swindler!
Qing Moyan smiled in her eyes, and took her little hand and entered the building.
There are already guys with sharp eyes who recognize this Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Earnestly come forward to serve.
"What do you want to eat today?"
Qing Moyan didn't answer, and her eyes fell on the stairs.
Ru Xiaonan was waiting for him to open her mouth to order, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. When I looked up, I saw Qingmo's face looking solemnly.
The second young master of the Hou Mansion happened to come down the stairs and walked face to face with Qing Moyan.
"Big ...... Big brother?" the second young master was startled. Hurriedly stood up and saluted hurriedly.
"Why are you here?" Qing Moyan's voice sounded a little cold.
"I have to meet ...... friends," the second young master stammered.
Qing Moyan's brows furrowed, "Go back so soon?"
"It's just a conversation with a few friends, no drinking. The second young master had already calmed down at this time and dealt calmly.
"In that case, let's go together. Qing Moyan said casually.
"Yes. The second young master responded.
Ru Xiaonan noticed. This young man was respectful and polite in front of Qing Moyan, although he seemed a little restrained, but it was harmless.
Ru Xiaonan stared at the second young master with a small face, and suddenly felt that someone pulled her arm.
"Look, don't you want to eat well, and he doesn't have a menu on his face. Qing Moyan said unhappily.
Only then did Ru Xiaonan retract her gaze. Turning his little head to look around.
From time to time, a guy who served food passed by them, and the aroma of the food attracted her frequent attention.
"What's that?" Ru Xiaonan pointed to the dish in a guy's hand.
"That's a cochineal shrimp. Without waiting for Qing Moyan to answer, he beckoned their guy and spoke. "Lord Shaoqing came at the right time, and the recent time for rouge shrimp is 'fat' and beautiful. β
Ru Xiaonan saw the guy holding a live shrimp and pouring it into the glass basin, and the live shrimp jumped non-stop in an instant. The basin has a strong aroma.
"This drunken shrimp is a must in our building, do you want to try it?" the guy spared no effort to laugh.
Qing Moyan glanced at a child whose greedy eyes were about to fall, "Don't get drunk shrimp." Serve it directly when it is cooked. β
The guy was stunned, but immediately responded with a smile: "Okay, a portion of braised rouge shrimp." β
Qing Moyan ordered five dishes one after another. took Ru Xiaonan upstairs and entered an empty private room.
The second young master finally entered the 'door' and stood there looking at Ru Xiaonan in a daze.
"Big brother, this kid is ......"
Qing Moyan pulled Ru Xiaonan into her arms and let her sit on her 'lap', "This child will live in the Hou Mansion in the future, and I will arrange her in my yard." β
The second young master couldn't close his mouth in shock, "Big brother, could it be that she is your 'illegal' daughter?"
Ru Xiaonan was drinking the tea sent by the guy with Qing Moyan's hand, and when she heard this, she squirted out with a "poof".
