Shunzi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "I will go back to the house to fetch the Ninth Princess. It will only take about a quarter of an hour to come and go. It will be different if I ask the Ninth Princess to knock on the door. I can see that the Princess likes the Ninth Princess very much." Princess."
This reminded Li Cang Jue.
Li Cangjue, who always thought he was very smart, laughed belatedly: "Wonderful, really wonderful. Shunzi, you did a good thing today. Go and invite the Ninth Princess over now."
Shunzi said goodbye and left, but Li Cangjue was restless in the room, hoping that Li Jingyi would arrive soon.
The house next door.
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring the dishes that Gu Qingying ordered. She and Shen Yunzheng ate slowly, thinking of the sheep tied in the yard and said: "I want to drink sheep soup, so I asked my friend to send a sheep to Jucai Xiang, please ask someone to bring things back early tomorrow. A sip of hot mutton soup is the most comfortable thing in this winter."
Shen Yunzheng ate the green spinach with garlic paste and said with great satisfaction: "If you want to drink mutton soup, just tell the shopkeeper! You can buy mutton at the vegetable market."
He didn't want Gu Qingying to trouble his friend too much. After all, he would have to rely on this friend for business in the future.
Gu Qingying smiled and said: "The mutton outside is not as delicious as the sheep raised by my friend, haven't you noticed? The rabbit meat sold in our restaurant has a different taste than the rabbit meat sold in the vegetable market outside."
She had tasted this herself. The rabbit meat in the restaurant was extremely tender and tasted better.
Shen Yunzheng had discovered this problem a long time ago and said seriously: "I have wanted to say this before. Many diners have reported that the dishes and rabbit meat in our restaurant are delicious. I thought it was because the chef's cooking techniques have improved. You Putting it this way, I think it’s not that the chef’s cooking skills have gotten better, but that these dishes and rabbit meat are already very good.”
Gu Qingying added in her heart, of course.
"So, I asked my friend to send me a goat. I just want to taste the hot lamb soup. The lamb chops can also be grilled. Thinking about the cumin lamb chops makes people drool. You Make arrangements, I'll bring people over for lunch tomorrow." Gu Qingying directly ordered Shen Yunzheng without being polite.
The two of them ate slowly. Before they finished, they heard a knock on the door and the voice of the shopkeeper: "Princess, the Ninth Princess said she wants to see you."
After Gu Qingying shouted "come in", she saw Li Jingyi pushed open the door aggrievedly, stepped into the room and said pitifully: "Sister, please leave me alone."
When she woke up, the sun was already shining high. She went to look for Gu Qingying without even eating, only to learn that Gu Qingying had left the palace.
She wanted to find Gu Qingying, but she didn't know Gu Qingying's activity route or where he liked to go. It was not easy to find someone in the huge imperial city, so she had no choice but to wait anxiously in the mansion.
Fortunately, Shunzi came to look for her and told her that Gu Qingying was at the Xianglou.
She hasn't eaten anything until now!
Gu Qingying felt a little guilty, so she quickly stepped forward and took Li Jingyi's hand and said, "It's my fault. I was afraid of disturbing you so I didn't wake you up. You must not have eaten yet. You just happened to sit down and we could eat together."
Li Jingyi was very conscientious and thought of Li Cangjue who was standing at the door of the next door. She knew very well the purpose of Shunzi calling her here and said with a smile: "Then don't you mind if I call my brother, let's eat together. My brother I haven’t eaten yet.”
After saying that, he let go of Gu Qingying's hand and ran out the door before Gu Qingying could refuse, pulling Li Cangjue into the house.
Li Cangjue's face turned dark and he said uncomfortably: "I didn't want to come, it was Jing Yila who brought me here."
Gu Qingying was too lazy to talk to Li Cangjue and said, "Let's sit down and eat together. The shopkeeper will have to bring two more dishes."
Li Jingyi sat next to Shen Yunzheng, glanced at Shen Yunzheng curiously and said, "My name is Li Jingyi, young master. What about you?"
Shen Yunzheng stood up and saluted politely: "Meet the Ninth Princess, I am Qingying's cousin Shen Yunzheng."
The two of them introduced each other and became acquainted.
Gu Qingying liked Li Jingyi's delicate and unpretentious temperament, which was straightforward and generous.
The four of them sat down, and Li Cangjue sat next to Gu Qingying.
Shen Yunzheng was very worried about Li Cangjue's beating of Gu Qingying and didn't want to pay attention to it, so he didn't see Li Cangjue the whole time.
Li Jingyi kept picking up food for Gu Qingying, and also signaled Li Cangjue to give it to Lu Qingying.
Li Cangjue, who had never served food to anyone before, chose a piece of rabbit meat for Gu Qingying in an extremely unfamiliar way.
Gu Qingying curled her lips and ate it anyway, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man. Although she didn't like Li Cangjue, she still had to be polite at least.
After meal.
Shen Yunzheng still had business matters to attend to and had to say goodbye and leave.
Gu Qingying stood up and walked back and forth in the room, complaining to Li Jingyi: "If you continue to eat like this, you will probably gain weight. Are you in trouble tomorrow?"
Li Jingyi also followed Lu Qingying and walked around the room to eat. She grinned and said, "My sister asked me, even if I don't have time, I still have to make time."
She now likes to stay with Gu Qingying.
Gu Qingying was very happy to hear this and said with a smile: "Since you have such a sweet mouth, I will invite you here to drink mutton soup tomorrow. This mutton is not simple. It will definitely taste better than what you have eaten before."
Li Cangjue was sitting aside drinking tea, but when he heard that Gu Qingying invited Li Jingyi, but had no intention of inviting him, he frowned and coughed.
Li Jingyi immediately took Gu Qingying's arm: "Then my brother and I will definitely be there tomorrow."
Gu Qingying looked back at Li Cangjue and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"
She didn't want to invite Li Cangjue, but Li Jingyi had to give her face.
So confused!
I thought silently in my heart: "Don't agree, don't agree."
However, Li Cangjue's next answer made Gu Qing feel like a beaten eggplant.
Li Cangjue gave Li Jingyi a look of praise in a veiled way, and said solemnly: "I will accompany Jingyi to the banquet tomorrow when I am free."
Gu Qingying sat down unwillingly, but she thought of something interesting, raised her eyebrows at Li Cangjue and said: "Gu Lian'er and Mrs. Cui came to see me before you guys came. Gu Lian'er said to you But she is so infatuated that she even wants to ruin the marriage promised by the Zhao family, and has been putting off getting married to the Zhao family's son! She also asked me to intercede for you to marry her, even if she is a concubine."
Li Cangjue asked with a dark face: "Does this have anything to do with me?"
He didn't like Gu Qingying mentioning Gu Lian'er in front of him. He and Gu Lian'er had nothing to do, and he was annoyed by that woman.
Gu Qingying said disdainfully: "How come it doesn't matter? You are a man who can fall out faster than you can flip through a book! When you were in the palace, you and she were not just friends with each other. In the blink of an eye, we are no longer on good terms with each other. Why don't you be so heartless?"
Li Jingyi on the side felt something was wrong the more she listened: "Sister, my brother really doesn't like Gu Lian'er."
She felt the need to explain.
She wasn't stupid, she couldn't tell that her brother liked Gu Qingying.
However, the misunderstanding between the two may not be resolved in a day or two. Yesterday, she specifically asked Li Cangjue the whole story. Knowing the inside story, she mourned for her brother in her heart.
