Chapter 12: who are you

The chief of Sizhifang has always been held by a palace person, but Qin Jiu is not a palace person, so the emperor gave Qin Jiu a place to stay in Lijing. Before returning to his residence, Qin Jiu took the loquat and lychees, and deliberately walked around to Linglong Pavilion, planning to take the durian, cherries, and yellow hair back along the way.
Before the carriage arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Qin Jiu saw durian squatting in front of Linglong Pavilion with his head drooping, and Huang Mao lying on his head with his body curled up. When I saw Qin Jiu's carriage approaching, Durian and Huangmao rushed over like an abandoned tramp who found their parents.
"Jiuye, you can count as coming back. The steward of Linglong Pavilion said that we did not have enough room rates and drove us out. We haven't had breakfast yet. Jiuye, when you left, why didn't you pay for the room?" Stretched the bitter gourd face.
Qin Jiu frowned, his eyes flowed, with invisible emotions in his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "It's just an excuse that the room rate is not enough. Linglong Pavilion is so bold that he dares to treat us Lian'er and Huang Mao like this. I heard that Linglong Pavilion’s dishes are the most famous in Lijing City, and they are even better than those cooked in the Imperial Palace Dining Room. Today we let them have lunch."
Durian heard that Qin Jiu meant that he was going to Linglong Pavilion to eat Bawang’s meal, and hurriedly said, "This...this is not so good!" As he said, his stomach grunted unconvincingly, causing Huang Mao to ridicule. Weird laughter.
Qin Jiu squinted at the durian and smiled slightly, "Lian'er, how did you be a beggar? Why didn't you starve to death?"
Durian said solemnly: "Since I am a beggar, I naturally eat leftovers from other people's charity."
Qin Jiu looked back at the durian, her beautiful eyebrows bursting out with a brilliant smile, which was as good as a spring flower, making people trance. But Durian was not in a trance, so I heard Qin Jiu say: "It turns out that Lian'er likes eating leftovers so much. At that time, I will let Linglong Pavilion's steward prepare more for you!"
"Eat leftovers, Ashi ate leftovers!" Huang Mao Yaowu said majesticly.
Durian was so angry that she cried silently in her heart!
"Let's go up!" Qin Jiu waved his wide red sleeves, and one person and one bird took the lead towards Linglong Pavilion.
"Hey, girl, your lights!" The driver of the carriage chased up with the rose lantern.
The carriage that Qin Jiu took to the palace early in the morning was hired by Loquat, and the rose lantern was still hung on the carriage. The chariot driver of Tianchenzong dared to ask for it and brought it with both hands.
Loquat reached out and took it.
When Durian saw the rose lamp, he suddenly realized. Presumably they hung up the rose lantern when they left. Linglong Pavilion learned that they were members of the Tianchen Sect, so he and Cherry were driven out by the excuse that the room fee was not enough.
It turned out that Linglong Pavilion didn't like the people of Tianchen Sect.
Although he was driven away, it was the enchantress of Tianchenzong who was despised. Durian felt that she was in a good mood and her stomach was even more hungry. But he was worried that he would not be able to enter Linglong Pavilion. Sure enough, the group was stopped by Linglong Pavilion's steward at the door.
"Sorry, the restaurant is full, let's go elsewhere!" Linglong Pavilion's steward bowed and said politely.
The corner of Qin Jiu's lips smiled and said, "Is the second floor full?"
"I'm really sorry, the second floor was taken up by the nobleman." Linglong Pavilion manager said very apologetically.
"That's it... In that case, let's be a little wronged, and we can barely stay in the room where your pavilion master eats." Qin Jiu blinked.
"How can this work? There is no such rule." The steward said calmly.
"Isn't there such a rule?" Qin Jiu flicked his hand, and a bamboo strip shot out from his sleeve, taking only the forehead of the manager. The steward was too late to dodge, and the bamboo stick stuck straight into his hair bun. It was the skeleton of the burnt lantern that was inserted diagonally on his head, just like a bamboo hairpin.
The manager turned pale and went straight in to report. In a short while, someone came out and led a few people to the third floor.
In the corridor on the third floor, a young man walked up to meet him.
He was about twenty-three or four years old, perhaps a little younger, and his figure was outlined like a bamboo in a very ordinary azure gown. There was a smile on the corner of his lips. It was a smile from the heart. It was indeed very cheerful, as if... the deep thoughts were suddenly relieved.
He has a pair of star pupils, which are very dark. When he smiles, there is a little bit of starlight shining in them, which seems to dazzle the eyes of flower people.
His appearance is not very handsome, but his temperament is very sunny and free, with a vigorous youthful atmosphere in every move.
His gaze crossed eagerly across several people.
Little by little.
In the end, the starlight in his eyes suddenly dimmed. He, who originally looked very sunny, seemed to be suddenly shrouded in clouds. Just like the green bamboo bathed in the sun, suddenly wetted by the rain, it was stained with sad tears.
The smile was still on his lips, but his eyes were already full of sorrow.
"Presumably this is the pavilion master, right?" Qin Jiu asked, standing still.
The man frowned and said faintly: "Here is the lord of the Linglong Pavilion, Mu Yufei."
"Pavilion Master Mu, your pavilion buddies kicked us out of the pavilion this morning. I don't know how the pavilion master explained this matter?" Qin Jiu asked with a soft smile, curved lips.
Mu Yufei kept a gentle smile, and said very politely: "I'm sorry for how rude our guys in the pavilion are to you in the morning. Please also Haihan. The pavilion owner has prepared a good meal and has the right to apologize. Take a seat."
After Mu Yufei said, he opened the door of the elegant room on one side first.
"In that case, we are not welcome." Qin Jiu advanced into the elegant room.
The decor of this elegant room is very chic, antique and delicate. There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. Although durian cannot be recognized, it is definitely a masterpiece.
"Sit down, everyone, and the food will be delivered right away." Pavilion Master Mu said with a smile.
The durian did not expect that they could really eat the King’s meal, and the pavilion owner would personally entertain them. It seems that he was wrong just now, this Linglong Pavilion did not hate Tianchen Sect, but had a great affection for Tianchen Sect. Those guys who drove him and Cherry away in the morning must have had a convulsion.
Thinking of this, the food has already arrived.
A large plate of stewed lamb chops with herbs, steaming hot, fancy the gravy. A plate of free-range chicken, using ears to fry the chicken in an iron pan, and paste the topping around the iron pan. The pancakes are cooked during the stewing process. With the mushy noodles and spicy chicken. There is also a plate of prawns in tomato sauce. A plate of jade tofu, a casserole of eel vermicelli, a casserole of borscht, a large plate of almond and peach crisps, a plate of stewed crab noodles, lion head, and a plate of golden ingot dumplings.
Linglong Pavilion's food is indeed the best in Lijing, and it makes people feel like their index fingers are moving just by looking at them, let alone smelling.
"The dishes are ready, you all sit down, don't have to serve me today." Qin Jiu said.
The cherries and lychees looked at each other.
Looking at the delicacy, Durian salivated and looked at the loquat, only to see that he was holding the sword motionless.
After all, they are subordinates.
Qin Jiu smiled and said: "Pavilion Master Mu, please open another elegant room and prepare another table of dishes. Let them use this table. I am here, they will be uncomfortable eating."
Durian felt that the demon girl had done a little too much, and it would be nice to ask someone for a table. Unexpectedly, Mu Yufei agreed.
Durian was overjoyed. As soon as Qin Jiu left, he hurriedly picked up the bamboo chopsticks and was about to feast on it.
Unexpectedly, Huang Mao yelled horribly: "Eat leftovers!" He rushed to him and pecked off the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.
Durian: "..."
Another elegant room.
Mu Yufei took the bamboo strips on the hairpin of Qin Jiu's hairpin in his hand and asked each word: "Who are you?"
