Night fell quietly, and before I knew it, the sunset on the horizon had completely disappeared, and even that little dim light had dissipated, turning into a few small fireflies flying. The night in Chang'an City is quiet and mild.

Chen Changye sat on the windowsill board, gently holding Chang Pei, they sat like this and watched the sunset for a long time, and only woke up from the magnificent scene when it was dark, looking down at Chang Pei, her cheeks were slightly red and gently leaned against Chen Changye, as if enjoying this process that was not too much.

"Sister, I think it's almost time to apply, let's go find Lin Jingnian and his wife for dinner, right?" Chen Changye said with a smile, he looked at the uninhabited alley below, he didn't know that he was thinking about something funny, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

Chang Pei nodded slightly, and then the two returned to the room from the window one after another, and went down to the hall to see that Lin Jingnian and An Keyi were already sitting peacefully in the hall, and the number of knights in the inn suddenly increased, and Lin Jingnian, who was drinking tea in the noise, did not show a little impatience.

Chen Changye took Changpei to say hello to them and sat down. An Keyi quietly gave Lin Jingnian warm tea on the side, and nodded at Chen Changye. Lin Jingnian opened his eyes and said first: "Brother Changye, this Winning Mountain Sect's introductory ceremony has ended. ”

The hall was already noisy, and Chen Changye didn't hear Lin Jingnian's words clearly, and replied, "What's the matter with me?"

Lin Jingnian saw Chen Changye's indifferent appearance, so he could only nod, and then said: "Then it's almost time to apply, should we leave now?" He looked a little hesitant, Chen Changye naturally understood, he didn't understand why Shen Tianyan wanted to invite himself and others to be guests, didn't he still deny his relatives a while ago?

Chen Changye heard this clearly, he nodded and said that it was too noisy to hear clearly, and then the four of them left the inn and walked down the street to the luxurious restaurant, the moonlight shone dimly on the street, and the sparse pedestrians carried lanterns and swayed away, like a few lost white butterflies.

As soon as he thought of butterflies, Chen Changye immediately remembered Chi Xiao Yao, and asked Lin Jingnian where Chi Xiao Yao went, but Lin Jingnian shook his head and said that he didn't know, he said: "She hasn't told me where she is, maybe she went out to play, right?"

Chen Changye nodded after hearing this, after all, not everyone can only rely on Chen Changye like Changpei, Chixiao Yao has no relatives and no reason for Lin Jingnian, at most he is just a close friend, and he will not stay by his side for the rest of his life, not to mention that there is a famous lady like An Keyi, she can't grab it.

If she didn't say goodbye, this would be quite like Chixiao Yao's temperament, she and Chen Changye didn't pay much attention to these etiquettes, she probably felt that saying goodbye would overwhelm both parties, so she left quietly.

Thinking like this, Chen Changye was no longer worried about Chi Xiaoyao. Soon, the four of them came to the restaurant, which was obviously much brighter than the previous days, and when they went in, they found that many candles were lit, and there was only a large table in the hall, on which countless delicacies were placed.

Take a closer look, Chang Pei was salivating, the tender and fatty braised pork was drizzled with a steaming sauce, the bright red pepper was chopped into small pieces and a few side dishes were hung on the delicate fish that was so tender that it turned over, Chen Changye counted, there were nine big dishes on this table, three meats, three fish and three dishes.

Sitting in front of him was Uncle Shen, who smiled and said, "Eh, they're all here, you're welcome, sit down, just take it as a family banquet, right?"

Chen Changye also sat down with Changpei, who couldn't wait, the price of the meals at this table, Chen Changye estimated that it was more expensive than the toys he bought in the afternoon. I thought I was extravagant enough, but I didn't expect to meet Shen Tianyan, who was a step ahead.

Lin Jingnian was a little unnatural, he came here purely because Chen Changye patted his chest and promised him that he could come to eat, but Uncle Shen was like this to him before, and he still had such a lump in his heart, which was difficult to get rid of, unless Uncle Shen lowered his face to apologize or explain to him.

And An Keyi, who was next to her, also saw what Lin Jingnian was thinking when she was stunned, so she quietly pulled him to sit down, and whispered in his ear: "If the husband is uncomfortable, the concubine can say to Uncle Shen, do you need it?"

Lin Jingnian waved his hand lightly, and then sat down with everyone, he knew in his heart that he needed to cross this hurdle in order to see through people's hearts, and in the future calculations to be smoother and smoother, so he tried his best to endure the discomfort in his heart.

Shen Tianyan also saw it, but he smiled and didn't break it, and he beckoned everyone to eat, eating without saying a word, everyone ate quietly and quietly, and the five people counted Changpei ate the most, and Chen Changye followed.

After eating, Shen Tianyan became serious and wanted to tell his true purpose, he said, "Have you ever wanted to live in Chang'an for a long time?"

Chen Changye thought to himself secretly for a while, and saw that Lin Jingnian's face was not abnormal, and he understood that he had given the right to let himself do it, so Chen Changye first sold a pass and said: "If there is a place for us here, we also want to." ”

Shen Tianyan squinted his eyes when he heard this: "Of course, you are welcome here at any time, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to me." By the way, where have you all been staying these days? I've got a few friends coming to visit me another day. ”

Friend? Chen Changye was a little tired in his heart, so he replied: "We live in a small inn, it's not worth mentioning. However, there is one thing that we really have to bother Uncle Shen. ”

"Please. Shen Tianyan was not surprised at all, he waved his hand and let Chen Changye and the others continue, he already had the answer in his heart.

Chen Changye replied: "We want to open a small restaurant in Chang'an City, but we don't have enough money, and we haven't found a good enough shop, I wonder if Uncle Shen can give me some advice?"

Hearing this, Shen Tianyan was stunned, then laughed, pointed to the street and said: "All the shops on that street are mine, if you have something to look at, even if you rent it, the money can be reduced by half, but you are not in a hurry!"

A street! Chen Changye pulled his mouth, the person in front of him was really terrifyingly rich, but if he didn't take things for nothing, Chen Changye naturally smiled and said: "Then thank you Uncle Shen, I think the third one on the left is good, I don't know when it can?"

Shen Tianyan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Changye to open his mouth and pick the best one at once, although it was a little painful, but he still thought that they were still a little useful, so he agreed. Tomorrow, Lin Jingnian and An Keyi will be able to move into the tavern with their things.

This news made Lin Jingnian and An Keyi even more overjoyed, the shops they found after walking for an afternoon were not as good as Chen Changye's stores, they were indeed a little surprised, and they also thanked Shen Tianyan, but Shen Tianyan remembered the words of the adult, so he could only give them the store with a smile.

Leaving the tavern, Chen Changye naturally understood a little, and asked Lin Jingnian to be more sure, it was not for nothing that they went outside this afternoon, at least they figured out the distribution of forces in the court, mainly two huge strengths.

One is the emperor's faction, and the other is the prince's faction. The Tangxi case was not committed by the emperor, but it was according to his wishes, accidentally getting rid of one of the opponent's chess pieces, and gaining favor in the hearts of Chen Changye and other chess pieces. If Chen Changye guessed correctly, then the emperor's attitude towards them would be the same as his attitude towards Chi Xiaoyao.

In other words, the emperor tried to get involved with Chixiao Yao through Chen Changye and others, so as to win over the big backer of the Yingshan faction behind Chixiao Yao. From this point of view, Shen Tianyan must be from the emperor's faction, and he really did everything to please the emperor.

Lin Jingnian secretly warned Chen Changye to be careful tomorrow, if he guessed correctly, there will be many big people at the opening of the hotel tomorrow, and Chen Changye should say less if necessary, so as to prevent trouble from coming out of his mouth. Chen Changye also understands that his mouth is easy to say the wrong thing and offend people, so he will treat tomorrow with spirit.
