Chapter 68: Qinglian Restaurant

Qinglian Restaurant is very famous in Jining Prefecture because of its relationship with the ancient poetry fairy.
Almost all important literary meetings of the scholars in the palace were held here.
The restaurant is based on the main building facing the street, and seven or eight single-family courtyards are spread out like a peacock on the back. It is used to receive distinguished guests, or like Fu Chuoxian's birthday party.
Because the restaurant was built next to the spring water used by Shixianhuan to wash the pen and ink in the rumor, the spring water was drawn around the entire restaurant at this time, and every single yard had a share. It is said that it is best to play in the spring water. In this season, the vegetation is declining, and when I look out, there is a sense of "leave the remaining lotus to listen to the sound of rain".
Because of his limited budget, Fu Chuoxian only took the smallest set of yards, and the banquets were of medium-grade.
Although none of the masters of the Zou Mansion had arrived, and the disciples Zou Qiongruo and other disciples also did not show up because of Mrs. Shang's excuse, "You are young and ignorant, don't disturb the interest of the gentlemen", but Mrs. Shang still sent a close attendant to congratulate him.
The attendant who came here was an aunt in her thirties. She was a little out of tune with a girl of Fu Chuoxian's age. She ordered a Mao and left. She came and went very low-key, but not long after she left, the people in the restaurant just Come and tell Fu Chuoxian that the aunt has added money to change the banquet to the best.
"This must be the kindness of the wife." Fu Chuoxian said to Xi Fuwei and Yao Zhuosu after hearing this, "Zou Mansion has always treated us very kindly, and I don't want to bother my wife even the birthday banquet."
"Who does not know the kindness of the Zou Family in Yanzhou Prefecture?" Xi Fuwei smiled and said, "How else could the Zou Family be a distinguished family? This is because of the accumulation of blessings in the past."
Fu Chuoxian came here early as the host, Xi Fuwei and Yao Zhuosu had nothing to do, so they set off with her.
At this moment, the guests hadn't come yet, so the three of them checked the venue and ordered a Zuanhe to sit down.
After a few gossips, I was moved by the thoughtfulness of the Zou Mansion, and a maid came in to report that it was Master Sun who had arrived. This grandson is the rich son that Fu Chuoxian met on the birthday of Mrs. Zhuang. Speaking of which, Fu Chuoxian's blood is here today to entertain guests, but also for him and a son who has not yet come.
At this moment, after hearing this, Fu Chuoxian stood up immediately, helped the golden step by the sideburns, and said Yanran: "Sit down, I'll go and see."
Not long after she went, she brought in a young man in a green shirt.
The green-shirted boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair complexion and a fat body. At first glance, he looked like a ball. The fat on his face almost squeezed his eyes into a line. Although his appearance was not good, his face was very honest, and when he came to greet Xi Fuwei and Yao Zhuosu, he blushed before he finished speaking, and he was very simple and shy.
But the little boy he brought was more clever. He helped to add that some cloth houses in the city belonged to the Sun family. Today, Sun Gongzi also brought the latest fabrics to Xi Fuwei and the others as a meeting ceremony, because the things are heavier. , I was afraid that the coachman would come in rashly and the beautiful ladies, now they are all left outside, planning to move directly into the carriage of the Zou Mansion when they leave.
Xi Fuwei glanced at Fu Chuoxian in a little surprised, and said that this girl really has a few brushes. This grandson doesn’t look like that kind of playboy, and he is so generous to women who have not seen him. She deliberately gave Fu Chuoxian face.
But it was the one-sided fate at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Zhuang that made Sun Gongzi feel this way. No wonder Fu Chuoxian was unwilling to marry an ordinary family.
"This grandson..." Xi Fuwei resigned with Sun Gongzi. Seeing that he couldn't do so, she thanked him for his kindness. After all, today's protagonist is Fu Chuoxian, and Xi Fuwei herself has treated this grandson. He didn't have much interest, so after the chattering scene passed, he took Yao Zhuosu as an excuse to watch the snow go away.
Yao Zhuosu looked at Fu Chuoxian and the grandson laughing at Yan Yan, frowned slightly, and whispered to Huang Su, "Although looking at people is not bad, but it looks too unbearable. It's really hard for Sister Fu. Temper, still willing to talk to him like this."
Huang Su chuckled and said, "Girl, you don't know. Although the grandson is the youngest son of the family, the first few elder brothers are all concubines. His biological mother is a powerful one. Not to mention, my aunts are more well-behaved! The family business of the grandson family will be handed over to him sooner or later! Everyone says that if anyone becomes their daughter-in-law, he will be the mistress after passing the door. ."
"It's nothing more than a few money." Yao Zhuosu disagrees. "After leaving the cabinet, I live with people, not with money."
Huang Su has always been very good-tempered because of her temper, serving these days, saying that she is a master and servant, and some sisters. She came out for a banquet today, and she was in a relaxed mood, so she joked: "Of course, a girl is not rare to be like Grandpa. After all, I have seen an outstanding talent like Master Shen!"
After she said this, she regretted it a little, because she felt a bit demeaning Fu Chuoxian's vision.
Although the Hongzhi who served Fu Chuoxian was not here, the Lusha who served Xi Fuwei was there.
Lusha and Hongzhi have always had a good relationship. Who knows if she would tell Hongzhi privately and pass the words to Fu Chuoxian's ears?
"Master Shen..." Yao Zhuosu looked at Xi Fuwei when he heard the words.
Xi Fuwei twitched at the corner of her mouth and said, "Don't praise my brother. My brother is from a poor family. How can I compare the blessing of Sun Gongzi?"
"Speaking of it, isn't your brother already married?" Yao Zhuosu suddenly said, "Your prospective sister-in-law, why didn't you call it together? Sister Fu is always generous, so I don't mind having one or two more people. It's still lively when you come. !"
"My sister-in-law is not from Jining Mansion." Xi Fuwei smiled, "and she doesn't like to go out very much."
Yao Zhuosu's eyes flickered and said, "Really? But when we are girls, when we are at home, we should pay off. Once we are out of the cabinet, there will be many things to be busy, and there will be no chance to be lazy! If you haven't gotten married, you have come out for a walk. Isn't it true that you have been in the boudoir for the rest of your life?"
Then he said, "Even if there are those who don't like to move, I will always give the face of my sister in the future, right?"
"I don't dare to be disrespectful to my sister-in-law." Xi Fuwei said, "After all, I still expect others to treat my brother well!"
She realized that Yao Zhuosu seemed to be thinking about her own words, so she turned aside, "Just now, Xiao Er said that the Mohua Chunyu brewed by their owner is delicious, and everyone who comes will order a bowl...Do you want to drink it?"
Lusha smiled and said, "The servant girl wanted to drink it, but she didn't dare to drink it. After all, when I went out before, a few bowls of rice wine were on my head, so I couldn't serve a good husband. If I am greedy for a cup, I will go back, sir. If you don’t punish the servants, the madam will also ask them."
Huang Su was a little younger and was still eager to try. He suddenly died down when he heard the words, and said, "Don't want slaves."
Yao Zhuosu didn't intend to let the two maids interrupt the topic, but still stared at Xi Fuwei, and asked, "Speaking of which, who is your future sister-in-law's name and whose lady is it?"
"Sister Yao asks what these do?" Xi Fuwei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Is it possible that where did I offend my sister? My sister plans to sue my sister-in-law?"
This sounded like a joke, but it was already a bit tactful.
"...But just ask casually." Yao Zhuosu was still waiting to continue, and met her smiling but non-smiling eyes, somehow, somewhat guilty, pursed his lips, and said, "Curious."
"My sister-in-law is very quiet. If I knew I was talking about her outside, I would definitely be unhappy." Xi Fuwei smiled and said, "My sister is really curious. After my sister-in-law passes the door, I will introduce you to you."
Seeing her calmness, Yao Zhuosu was depressed, and a bit shaken by his previous thoughts: "This person is eloquent. Is it true that Master Shen and her are brothers and sisters and have a fiancée?"
if it is like this……
Yao Zhuosu felt a little pain in his heart and lost his senses.
She is different from Fu Chuoxian in the choice of husband-in-law.
Fu Chuoxian mainly looked at his wealth, he didn't have a wealth of wealth, and even a handsome and handsome man like Chen Qianglan would not take it seriously.
Not only did he dismiss it, but he also tried to persuade those around him not to be obsessed with appearances.
But Yao Zhuosu, before seeing Chen Pilan, she was immersed in the joy of finally having a place to stay, and she hadn't even considered marriage.
After seeing this person, her heart was sour and astringent, and she only hated why she didn't meet him sooner.
"Sister Fu also said that Young Master Shen doesn't look like a rich man. If I get married with him, I will definitely suffer." She turned her head and looked at a bunch of winter plums outside the Liuli window, thinking melancholy, "But I wish he would be more The poorer the better...If he was born as rich and rich as Sun Gongzi, where can I dream of it?"
But this person now seems to her, even though it is possible to make knots, but it does not seem to have her share.
All the calculations before, look ridiculous in retrospect.
Yao Zhuosu's heart was in a mess. He didn't know how long it took him to be pushed by Huang Su and looked around, only to find that the guests were all there.
Fu Chuoxian's purpose for hosting this birthday banquet: Sons Sun and Son Zeng have already arrived.
Compared with Sun Gongzi, Zengzi is a normal person, neither fat nor thin, not tall or short. Although his skin is darker, his eyebrows are somewhat handsome.
It's just that his temper doesn't seem to be as good as Sun Gongzi, and his face is stern, as if everyone owed him money.
In the middle, it was also because I saw that Young Master Sun was saying something unpleasant. If it weren't for Fu Chuoxian's skillful and timely manners, he would almost lose out.
However, the faces of these two people are not very good at the moment.
Gein came to steal the blue.
Although he appeared to be in despair in his clothes, he didn't even mean to compete with the two wealthy sons. After a little greeting, he retreated to his "sister" Xi Fuwei, and didn't even look at Fu Chuoxian, grandson and Zeng The son only glanced at his face, his eyes were all alert.
No wonder they looked at their rivals. After all, Fu Chuoxian, who had told Yao Zhuosu to say that Tanning Lan was not worthy of marriage, was a little dazed now.
Fortunately, she is not Yao Zhuosu. She still remembers her purpose of marrying into a wealthy family. She turned to the beginning after a few words, and the expressions of Grandpa and Zeng who were amused by a few words eased a lot, and she didn't pay much attention to Chen Pilan.
At this moment, Xiao Er came in, copied his hands and said, "There is a son named Wen outside the door, asking if he can come over and ask for a drink?"
