Chapter 120: The sense of crisis at the farewell banquet
Jiang He walked out calmly.
Young Marquis Xie came to have dinner, and just as Jiang Wanrong was about to serve him the food, she was stopped by Jiang He.
"Rong'er, do you know where Ningning went before coming to the tavern?"
"Ningning said that she went to catch the runaway fourth brother and Little Wukong. After notifying the third brother to bring them home, she came back. Is there anything wrong, second brother?"
Jiang Wanrong smiled gently and spoke.
"Nothing, I just saw her sleeping so soundly, and wondered if she had gone to be a wild monkey somewhere."
Jiang He nodded, then changed the subject:
"By the way, I think Ningning won't wake up for a while. If Rong'er is not busy, why don't you have something to eat with your second brother and talk about your past and what happened when your second brother was not in the capital?"
"Okay."
Jiang Wanrong gave the dishes she had prepared to the waiter.
"Brother, please follow me."
the other side.
In the private room.
Xie Ciyan had been flirting for a long time, and when he heard footsteps coming, he immediately sat sideways, holding the teacup in his hand and found a good angle.
The moment the door was knocked three times, he said, "Come in," and began to drink his tea elegantly.
"Xie Xiaohouye, the dishes you requested are here."
The voice did not belong to the fairy. Xie Ciyan turned his head and his face instantly stretched out and turned into a donkey's.
"Where is your boss? Why are you delivering the food today?"
"My Lord, our chief shopkeeper has a distinguished guest to meet, and the second shopkeeper is asleep in the backyard."
The waiter spoke respectfully, put the dishes on the table and left quickly.
The moment the servant left, Xie Ciyan closed the door and started jumping up and down.
"Distinguished guests, distinguished guests! Where do the little fairy get so many distinguished guests?
Wasn't she seeing some pretty boy at that time? Whose distinguished guest is she receiving now?
What kind of distinguished guest is more distinguished than me? The fairy actually left me behind halfway?"
When he thought about going out that time and seeing the fairy and the pretty boy chatting and laughing in a teahouse, and now they ran away again, Xie Ciyan's sense of crisis reached its peak.
"Shuofeng, am I not handsome?"
Xie Ciyan suddenly turned his head and looked at Shuofeng who was quietly serving as the background.
Shuo Feng answered obediently: "Handsome!"
"Why did that little fairy leave me and chat with another man?"
Shuo Feng looked at his master who had turned into a complaining woman and asked tentatively, "Maybe... Miss Jiang Wu likes white, and you are not white enough?"
Xie Ciyan was silent.
He has been running around outside for many years, and although his skin is not very dark, it is not as white as those young masters.
A long time.
He slowly said, "Go around the capital and see if you can find anything that can whiten your skin. Bring it all to me!"
"yes!"
Feeling that he had found the answer, Xie Ciyan looked down at the dishes made by the fairy today.
After taking a look at it, he felt sick.
It’s not because of the food…
Instead, he saw the fish brain.
In the past two days, no one knows what's wrong with Hou Fu. He has been eating brains for three meals a day. His grandfather also asked him to eat more brains to supplement his diet, but now he feels sick whenever he sees brains.

When Jiang Youning woke up, Jiang Wanrong and Jiang He had already finished their conversation.
When she went out, she saw Jiang He's carriage just leaving and Jiang Wanrong coming in with a smile.
"Sister, what is second brother doing?"
Jiang Youning yawned, stretched and asked.
"My second brother said that since you were sleeping so soundly, you probably won't be able to go shopping today. He wants to visit an old friend."
"Old friend?"
Jiang Youning's eyes lit up.
[Hey, it’s better to wake up at the right time than to wake up early. My second brother is going to meet his sweetheart. I have to go check out the excitement.]
[I don’t know if he will be chased out within half an hour this time. I have to go and bear witness for him.]
Jiang Youning smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry about me for dinner, I'm going out for a while~"
"Why!"
Jiang Wanrong stretched out her hand, but before she could stop him, Jiang Youning ran away.
Jiang Wanrong was also somewhat curious about her second brother's sweetheart.
then.
Not long after Jiang Youning left the house, she said something to Aunt Li and then walked in the direction where Jiang He's carriage left.
Liuchun Teahouse.
It is a favorite teahouse for scholars and ladies in Beijing.
The teahouse is elegantly and delicately built, and the tea girls inside are all top-notch in tea making.
Especially the teahouse's proprietress Ye Wanru, who was graceful and elegant, and full of knowledge. Many talented men and women had poetry competitions with her, but were no match for her.
Over the years, countless people have gone to great lengths to solve the couplets set by the proprietress just to have a chance to drink a bowl of tea brewed by her herself.
But so many years have passed.
The couplets in the teahouse are changed every year, but no one has come up with an answer that satisfies the proprietress.
When Jiang Youning sneaked to the door of the teahouse, he saw many scholars and scholars reciting poems and composing couplets in the courtyard.
But Jiang He is not here.
Jiang Youning found a corner without hesitation and took a pill to disguise herself. She had a folding fan in her hand and walked in with a swagger.
A tea girl immediately came out to greet us.
"This guest looks unfamiliar. Are you here for tea or poetry?"
"This is indeed my first time here. I heard that the couplets offered by the teahouse owner are unique here, so I wanted to take a look."
Jiang Youning pursed his lips and smiled calmly.
The tea girl immediately directed her to go inside.
"Please follow me, my guest."
Passing through the courtyard pavilion, the tea girl brought her to the entrance of an elegant house.
The house was a bamboo house and all the windows were removed, just to prove that the owner of the house was meeting guests openly and honestly, and there was nothing shameful about it.
"A guest has just come in and done his duty. Please sit down and have a cup of hot tea and wait for a while."
"Thank you."
Jiang Youning bowed to the tea girl.
As soon as the tea girl left, Jiang Youning looked around to see that there was no one around, so he tiptoed to the window.
Inside.
Jiang He is dealing with a beautiful lady.
"Miss Wan'er is so cruel. She didn't even want to give me a cup of tea after not seeing me for several months."
"Mr. Jiang, please don't make a fuss. Wan'er has already said that if you can match Wan'er's couplet, Wan'er will treat you to a cup of tea."
The woman inside smiled faintly, as if she was already accustomed to Jiang He's rogue behavior.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the chatterbox is really good at chasing after the girl, but you still have the nerve to say that the girl is cruel? ]
[If someone had no interest in you at all, you would have been beaten out by them long ago for always being so smooth-talking, okay? ]
[You are talking like crazy. I prepared a gift for you, but you should give it to me. You are almost emptying the box, right? I know who Third Brother learned this from.]
My sister's voice echoed in my mind.
Jiang He's back suddenly stiffened.
When did the little girl come here?
