Chapter 166: The Dinner Party (2)
The maids, who had a good face and a gentle voice, arranged for Lu Xue and the three of them to sit down at the table in the hall on the second floor, and did not ask the guests what they wanted to eat like other restaurants, but took out three menus and said that this is tonight's special set meal, do you look at the more suitable taste? Lu Xue listened to the maid's words and breathed a sigh of relief, he had never been in such a high-end place, he didn't understand the doorway of any appetizer, main dish and side dishes, if the maid really wanted to ask him, he could only stick a green onion in his nose and pretend to be an elephant.
The aperitif before the meal is the green plum that has been cellared for more than ten years, mellow but not spicy, and the aftertaste is very strong and not hanging. Lu Xue is a good drinker, and he can't stop immediately after drinking it.
The candlelight shook the cup slightly, Song Yanqiu was still a little restrained, but after a few glasses of wine, he could also laugh with Lu Xue. Senior Brother Lu looked at the beauty's slightly drunk demeanor, it was in his eyes and in his heart, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he and Song Yanqiu were definitely a pair of golden boys and girls.
He began to tell the two that his life in the cultivation of Xuan in the Wuen Sect was not easy, and said that in fact, it was nothing to fight and die in the sect and work hard to cultivate the Xuan and practice the sword, but it was lonely and unbearable, and there was no one to talk to at night, if there was a woman by his side, then there would be no regrets in this life. Lan Yingying immediately pretended to be distressed and sighed, saying that there was a saying outside, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", a good man like Senior Brother Lu, he really can't find a lantern, but I don't know which woman can have this blessing...... Song Yanqiu nodded approvingly on the side, which made Lu Xuexin a little more sure.
Song Yanqiu's heart has long been clear about Lu Xue's thoughts, but Song Yanqiu can't say that he is very satisfied with Lu Xue, he just has some good feelings. But tonight, she, a little girl who had never been out of the Broken Mountain Sect, was completely calmed by Lu Ze's posture of inviting guests, and her eyes became gentle when she looked at Lu Xue after a few glasses of wine. Lu Ze's general attack has begun to bear fruit, and he is wondering whether to take advantage of the wine tonight to completely take down Song Yanqiu......
At this moment, the maid led a man and a woman over, and after a bow, she said cautiously: "May I ask a few guests, are you with this Luo Gongzi? ”
Everyone was stunned.
Luo Tian looked at the woman with wide eyes slightly, he didn't expect that Song Yanqiu, who had met him in Pingshui, would appear here. Originally, he thought that if these people couldn't give an explanation, why should he teach them a hard lesson, but he didn't know whether it was the joy of the reunion of the old people or the kindness in his heart that was causing trouble, but he stopped the words that he was about to blurt out.
Song Yanqiuzhao was even more frightened than Luo Tian, his small mouth opened a little wider, and the long eyelashes on his beautiful eyes fluttered and flashed like butterfly wings. As for Lan Yingying's mood, it was even more mixed, both frightened and helpless, and even panicked and angry after being disturbed, and then these emotions turned into a strong sense of inferiority when she saw Sakura behind Luo Tian.
Lu Ze's gaze was firmly glued to Sakura's body, the girl was wearing a tulle dress in the evening glow, tightly wrapped by a gorgeous satin spar, and a pair of blood eyes exposed outside the veil were as shining like rubies, noble and dusty like an imperial princess who went out of the palace to play. And it was this princess-like girl who carefully took the man's arm and hid half of her body behind him.
Everyone stared widely, and the embarrassing atmosphere of such silence lasted for dozens of breaths, and finally Luo Tian broke the silence, coughed lightly and said dryly, "What a coincidence."
At this time, the shopkeeper of the restaurant walked over with the two invitations with a sweaty face, and hurriedly saluted Luo Tian, and then reprimanded the guard behind him in a low voice, saying What should you do! Obviously, this Luo Gongzi has reserved a seat for two people, and the three of them can't see it here? What are you eating?
Lu Xue got up and argued with the shopkeeper at that time, saying that you obviously promised to leave me a seat at the time, why have you changed your mind now?
The shopkeeper of the restaurant took the invitation card of the road choice and looked at it carefully, and said helplessly, please take a look at the date here, the arrival time is obviously as of yesterday, if you can come last night, you can dine until today. Tonight's seat is indeed this Luo Gongzi's, it is his...... Ahem, it was this child's friend who reserved the seat with me personally. I apologize for our mistake, but this seat was indeed booked by Mr. Luo, and as compensation we will rearrange it for you at the restaurant next door, of course, free of charge.
Lu Ze's face turned green with anger at that time, and he didn't understand how this man who looked like a completely white face could have so much energy. If he was really swept away, his face would be lost, and in the future, he would not say that he would get the heart of a beauty, and I am afraid that he would have no face to appear in front of Song Yanqiu.
Just when the shopkeeper of the restaurant was about to tear his face with Lu Xue and ask the guards to invite people out, Luo Tian suddenly spoke: "Hmm...... It's okay, I don't blame you, it's my fault, I forgot to explain the number to the shopkeeper, sorry. ”
The shopkeeper's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at him in a daze, just now he was even ready to kneel down to Luo Tianxia to make amends, and he didn't understand why this guest suddenly softened.
"Senior Sister Song, I haven't seen you for so long, and you have become so beautiful?" When the shopkeeper was stunned, Luo Tian had already pulled a chair and sat opposite Sakura, and his tone was calm.
"Senior Sister Song, is this your senior brother?" Lu Xue looked at Luo Tian in disbelief.
"Hmm...... At that time, when the Mountain Breaking Sect had not yet been disbanded, Senior Brother Luo Tian was already a core disciple. Song Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and looked at Luo Tian with great gratitude, this senior brother who was just a nod friend with herself, found the steps for everyone to go down in time, but after she said this, she suddenly stopped talking, obviously not knowing how to explain how the senior brother who was far away in the 100,000 mountains came to Caiyi City, and suddenly appeared in Lanfang Pavilion.
"Hello senior brother, my name is Luo Tian, I am the former senior brother of the two of them, and I want to apply for the Cangyue Academy before passing through Caiyi City, I heard that my senior sister took the liberty to come here, and I hope that the senior brother is not strange. Luo Tian stood up and bowed slightly to Lu Ze.
"Well, yes, yes, that's it. Song Yanqiu nodded busily, "Senior Brother Luo Tian, I don't know who this is?" Song Yanqiu cautiously looked at Sakura's side face.
"Ahem, she's a friend of mine, and she's a little scared. Luo Tian coughed dryly, and stood in front of Sakura without a trace, his willingness to find a step for his former junior sister in a foreign place does not mean that this aunt is also willing, Sakura is very taboo to talk to strangers, let alone in this kind of place where people talk a lot?
But to his surprise, Sakura gently got up from the chair, followed the appearance of those maids and slowly saluted a few people, and timidly said "hello".
"Ahem...... Since it is a friend of Luo Gongzi, it is nothing, I wish you all a happy meal. The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw the situation clearly, and also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, if this was because he neglected the young master's friends and made the young master angry with himself, then the entire Lanfang Pavilion would not be able to eat and walk around, although I don't know why Luo Tian is willing to choose to calm the matter, but it would be better if it could be resolved peacefully.
The square table, which could only seat four people, added two chairs, and suddenly became a little compact, and several people looked at each other a few times, and their expressions were very subtle.
If it weren't for the situation, Lu Xue would not be willing to sit and eat with Luo Tian, but since he was Song Yanqiu's senior brother, he would have to sell her face. Luo Tian tied a napkin for Sakura as if no one was around, and then poured two glasses of wine in front of her.
"You can have two drinks tonight. Luo Tian said softly.
Sakura looked at Luo Tian, the expression on her face couldn't be hidden even through a thin veil, it was a smile like an iceberg thawing. Lu Xue, who was sitting opposite Sakura, glanced at it, and couldn't help but be stupid when he looked at the flawless face looming under the veil, compared to Sakura, even Song Yanqiu would be reduced to mediocrity, even if he wore a veil, but it only covered everyone's demeanor in an instant.
Luo Tian glanced around without a trace, and roughly understood the purpose of this dinner under the observation of words, that Senior Sister Lan sat next to Lu Xue very "skillfully", and deliberately wore a bright red dress, Song Yanqiu was wearing a relatively refreshing and ordinary light blue, although it was not eye-catching, but it just set off the purity of this junior sister to the fullest, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a tryst.
It seems that he, Senior Sister Song and Senior Sister Lan, both want to build a bridge with this Senior Brother Lu Ze. Then the situation is very clear, in this situation, he obviously can't be too public, just be an outsider silently.
"Senior sister, why haven't you heard that you have a senior brother before?" Lu Xue smiled gently, pretending to be very interested and asked.
"In the past, when I was in the Broken Mountain Sect, there were several senior brothers who took good care of me, but I haven't seen them for a long time, how can I be embarrassed to mention it to my senior brother?" Song Yanqiu seemed to be answering Lu Xue's question, but he couldn't help but look at Luo Tian when he spoke, and he was afraid of annoying him, so he quickly turned his head away, and his two fingers were nervously stirred together on his legs.
"Senior sister has an overreputation, when the senior brother didn't take care of you much, but the junior sister sent charcoal in the snow from time to time in the sect, which has always made Luo remember it. Luo Tian picked up the wine jug and poured a full glass for Song Yanqiu and put it in front of her.
"Senior Brother Luo Tian, you are too modest......" Song Yanqiu hurriedly took the wine glass, staring at Luo Tian without blinking, his face turned red with excitement.
"yes, that's too modest. Lu Xue said quietly, taking advantage of Song Yanqiu's inattention, he glanced at Luo Tian, and then glanced at Sakura opposite.
Sakura was taking a sip of cod soup with a spoon of blue and white porcelain, and with her other hand gently lifted the corner of the veil, her long eyelashes hanging down, covering her blood-red pupils. Luo Tian didn't say much, and Sakura only said one word from beginning to end, but even if the two of them sat in the corner silently, they were like the hosts of the dinner party, and the power called "temperament" infected them silently, Lan Yingying Lu Xue and Song Yanqiu, everyone couldn't help but glance at the two of them, and then lowered their heads in shame.
Because Luo Tian and Sakura are too much like a pair of real princesses and princesses when they eat, their waists are straight, the food is chewed silently in their mouths, and the tableware is silent and elegant, especially when Luo Tian occasionally picks up a napkin to wipe the stains on the corners of Sakura's mouth, such a quiet demeanor infects everyone present.
Somehow, Lu Xue suddenly remembered that Senior Brother Meng Changfeng Meng, who was like the middle of the sky, even if this senior brother just sat in the corner without saying a word, and even lowered his eyes as if he was pretending to sleep, everyone here could feel that kind of vague thing, because there is nothing like this kind of person to adapt to the pattern and atmosphere, and where he sits is the "center of the crowd".
Luo Tian and Sakura are this kind of people.
