Chapter 995 What does the Third Princess think of Chu Jian?
In the bustling tavern, four people were sitting around a table in the corner.
They are Chu Jian, Yi Mei, Fang Wujiu, and Wen Jiucheng.
Yimei's expression was very stiff.
She asked in a low voice.
"Didn't you say you would treat me to a meal?"
Why would there be anyone else?!
Chu Jian did not notice the little princess's dissatisfaction and nodded in response.
"Yes, it's my treat tonight, you can eat whatever you want."
Fang Wujiu smiled and said, "Is anything really possible?"
Chu Jian quickly moved over and spoke to his two fellow disciples in a low voice.
"My salary is limited, so I beg you two to be gracious and not order something too expensive."
After saying this, he even bowed to the two of them, looking pitiful.
Wen Jiucheng glanced at the Third Princess who was pursing her lips and looking unhappy, then looked at his little junior brother who was unaware of anything. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing the standard smile of a spectator watching a good show.
He smiled and asked, "Little Junior Brother, why did you suddenly think of treating us to a meal today?"
Chu Jian scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Now that I have made money, I want to treat my brothers to a meal, but unfortunately my third brother is out on business, otherwise it would be more lively."
He actually felt that it was a bit abrupt to invite the third princess to dinner alone. After all, they were a single man and a single woman, and they had to be careful to avoid suspicion, so he called out his eldest and second brothers as well.
It will be more lively with more people around, and the third princess should be in a better mood.
Thinking of this, Chu Jian looked at the third princess again and spoke in Dasheng official language.
"This is my eldest senior brother. He is on duty at the Imperial Hospital. Your Highness Princess should have seen him. Also, this is my second senior brother. He is now working at a newspaper. They are all very good people. If Your Highness Princess has any difficulties in the future, you can not only tell me, but also tell them."
After saying this, he quietly pulled the sleeve of his senior brother.
Fang Wujiu just helped translate the junior brother's words into Qiandao Mandarin.
Yimei was not in a very good mood.
I thought it was a date for two people, but it ended up being a dinner for four people.
What’s even more hateful is that this fool Chu Jian actually thinks this is a good thing!
After listening to Fang Wujiu's translation, Yi Mei forced a smile.
"So Doctor Fang is Guard Chu's senior brother."
Chu Jian suddenly seemed to remember something and stood up suddenly.
"You guys order first, I'll be out for a while and back soon."
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
Yimei called him, but he didn't hear her.
In a blink of an eye, he disappeared.
The last bit of smile on Yimei's face disappeared.
She lowered her head and looked at her fingers in silence.
Anyone with eyes could see how depressed she was at the moment, not to mention Fang Wujiu and Wen Jiucheng, two shrewd people.
They exchanged a look.
Wen Jiucheng spoke with a smile, his tone very gentle.
"What does the Third Princess think of Chu Jian?"
He used the language of the Thousand Islands, with clear pronunciation and very standard pronunciation.
Yi Mei was slightly stunned, as if she was surprised that he could speak the Chili Island language, but then she was attracted by the content of his question.
She quietly grabbed her sleeve, turned her face to the other side, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Not so good."
Wen Jiucheng usually dresses like a scholar and looks gentle and refined.
In fact, he really likes reading.
When he was in class at Xuanmen, he was the most serious disciple. Even after class, he would still hold his books and read non-stop. He was completely different from his junior sisters who were lazy and sleepy, and his junior brothers who liked to play mischief. He was the kind of good student that teachers liked the most.
But he is different from talented students like Fang Wujiu and Luo Qinghan.
Fang Wujiu reads to kill time, while Luo Qinghan reads to enrich himself.
Wen Jiucheng does not read for any purpose; he reads simply because he enjoys reading.
Whether it is the slight sound when turning the pages, the faint scent of ink emanating from the book, or the unique feeling of being immersed in it when reading.
He was fascinated by them all.
To put it bluntly, this guy is a bookworm!
This is also the main reason why he went to work for Shengjing Daily after coming to Shengjing. He likes the atmosphere of being accompanied by words.
Wen Jiucheng had already read through all the books in the Xuanmen. He had read many of the books over and over again, and he could recite the contents by heart.
This naturally includes some rare language books.
In terms of understanding of the language of the Thousand Islands, Wen Jiucheng's understanding is even deeper than Fang Wujiu's.
At this time he spoke in a very standard Chishio dialect in a gentle voice.
"In fact, Chu Jian is a very simple person. When he is nice to someone, he will not think about anything else and will only be nice to that person wholeheartedly. For example, now, he is very nice to the third princess. In order to avoid making the third princess feel nervous, he specially pulled the two of us out to accompany her."
Although Yimei's eyes were looking elsewhere, her ears were always perked up.
She listened to every word Wen Jiucheng said.
But when she heard Wen Jiucheng's last sentence, she couldn't help but turn her face back, with surprise in her eyes.
"He specifically called you here, isn't it because he thinks I'm in the way and doesn't want to be alone with me?"
Hearing this, Fang Wujiu couldn't help but laugh.
Yimei's eyes immediately widened like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
"why are you laughing?"
Fang Wujiu smiled and spoke slowly.
"Your Highness, you misunderstood.
If Chu Jian really thought you were a nuisance, he wouldn't have come to look for you at all.
He could just stay away and ignore everything that happens to you.
But he didn't do it.
Instead of keeping his distance from you, he approaches you, comforts you, covers you with clothes, and even invites you to dinner."
The more Yi Mei listened, the redder her face became.
By the time Wen Jiucheng finished speaking, her ears were already red.
She let go of her wrinkled sleeves and said awkwardly.
"He just likes to meddle in other people's business."
Fang Wujiu smiled and said, "He doesn't meddle in everyone's affairs. It depends on the person."
Yimei tried hard to sew up her face and act like a princess, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but slightly rise.
Seeing her like this, Fang Wujiu and Wen Jiucheng looked at each other and smiled.
The guy asked them what they wanted to eat?
Yi Mei was unfamiliar with everything here and had no idea what was delicious and what was not. When Fang Wujiu asked her what she wanted to eat, she whispered.
"I'm fine with either. Just order whatever you want."
She paused and added, "I don't eat beef or mutton."
Wen Jiucheng knew that the Thousand Islands were mainly based on fishing, so he asked, "Is fish meat okay?"
Yimei nodded and said yes.
Wen Jiucheng asked the waiter what kind of fish and meat were available.
