In order to prevent Xiao Hongshen from pestering her all the time, Qu Xiangbai booked the evening banquet at Zui Qingfeng, the largest restaurant in the capital.
Ever since the Qu family lost power, the three of them haven't even been to the capital, let alone this restaurant.
But because they were regular customers of Zui Qing Feng before, they didn’t expect that the shopkeeper still remembered them.
"Mr. Qu? Is that Mr. Qu? You three haven't been here for a long time. Come in, come in. The private room upstairs that you used to use is now empty. I'll take you there now."
Seeing that Qu Xiangbai had no objection, the shopkeeper personally took them to the private room on the second floor.
Since meeting Xiao Hongshen, Lin Jiang never said a word more.
He understood that these people were not from the same class as him.
After sitting down, Xiao Hongshen never stopped talking.
"I say, Qu Qingheng, you are so cruel. You didn't even come to see me after you came to Beijing."
As he spoke, he leaned towards Qu Xiangbai.
The Qu brothers had long known this man's character and didn't think it was a big deal.
Lin Jiang couldn't handle it. People in ancient times were very reserved. He had never seen such people before. He stared at Xiao Hongshen and Qu Xiangbai.
Full of curiosity.
Noticing Lin Jiang's expression, Qu Xiangbai finally realized how uncomfortable their posture was.
He pushed Xiao Hongshen away.
"Stand up straight, can you please talk properly?"
Xiao Hongshen ignored him. In fact, he had noticed the person next to the Qu brothers from the very beginning.
It doesn't seem like he is a follower, and it's even more inappropriate to call him a friend.
Now seeing Lin Jiang looking at them curiously, he smiled maliciously.
"Ah Heng, who is this silly boy? Doesn't he know about our relationship? You didn't marry me for so many years because of me. I am sorry for you.
.....嘤嘤嘤......"
?
The Qu brothers didn't know what was wrong with him.
But Xiao Hongshen found it amusing to see Lin Jiang's expression change from curiosity to horror.
Qu Xiangbai was really disgusted by him.
"You're not a lightly ill person, are you? You'd better not let your sister-in-law hear you, or you'll get a beating.
This is a friend, and the purpose of my visit is related to him."
Hearing the name of his wife at home, Xiao Hongshen shuddered and quickly left the people around him.
He even forgot to ask about Lin Jiang's identity.
He is indeed a henpecked husband.
The wife he married was the youngest daughter of General Liang. Before they got married, he thought she was a little white rabbit. But when he happily brought her home, he found out that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Every time he got into trouble he would be beaten, and what was even more tragic was that he could never beat the other party.
Seeing his actions, Qu Qinghui also laughed at him: "You only do this outside."
"It's because Madam is too strict. It's not easy for me."
Although he complained, there was no sign of complaint on his face.
Seeing this, Lin Jiang realized that he had been fooled by this person.
People in Beijing are really cunning!
He thought.
"By the way, what exactly are you doing in Beijing this time? Is there a turning point in your family's affairs?"
After the joke, Xiao Hongshen suddenly became serious.
"No, I have something to present to His Majesty."
Qu Xiangbai didn't want to hide it, because everyone would know it soon anyway.
"What could be more important than your family's affairs?"
Qu Xiangbai didn't answer him, but handed him three storybooks.
"This is for you. Don't you like storybooks? These two are the latest hits in Qingyang Prefecture.
As for what you are asking, you will understand after reading the last book."
He gave Li Yu four books in total, including The Summit of Cooking and The Thorn Walk.
"You are still thinking of me. You know that my wife and I both like to read storybooks."
He and his wife met because of storytelling books.
Xiao Hongshen took it but didn't rush to open it, but put it aside.
I plan to go back and discuss this with my wife. What ability does this have to bring Qu Qingheng to Beijing?
"When can you come to Beijing? Since you left, this capital has become meaningless."
"That day will come."
Qu Xiangbai affirmed.
Just then, the waiter brought the wine and food.
When the food and wine arrived, Xiao Hongshen no longer wanted to talk about the court, he just wanted to have a good drink with his friends.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We must have a good drink today."
Others have no objection.
Because of Xiao Hongshen's presence as a lubricant, the few of them couldn't control themselves and drank too much as expected.
Even Lin Jiang is no exception.
The shopkeeper knew Xiao Hongshen and had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Prince Cheng's mansion.
So, no one came to look for him that night.
By the time everyone woke up and was almost sober, it was already the next morning.
The five of them lay in a mess in the restaurant's private room all night.
Qu Xiangbai, who was extremely fond of cleanliness, didn't want to stay there for even a quarter of an hour.
"Wake up, everyone wake up."
"Huh? Ah Heng? Why are you here? Shouldn't your home be in Qingyang Mansion now?"
Xiao Hong was very curious.
Those who woke up early: ...
Is he still drunk?
Qu Xiangbai walked straight to the table and poured a cup of cold tea.
Gave it to him.
"Are you awake? Are you still asleep or drunk? If you're awake, go home quickly. Be careful, your brother might come looking for you soon."
The cold tea didn't wake him up, but his brother scared him awake.
"Wake up, you're right, you need to go home quickly."
