Qiao Yuyan couldn't figure out the connection here, but she had no connection with Shen Jing. The only thing that could be related to her was Prince An.
But in fact, she and Prince An were just acquaintances at best, so speaking of it, Shen Jing had nothing to do with her.
Originally, the reason for asking for information about Concubine Xian was because of Zhang Lun, but now that Zhang Lun has been judged by the Holy Emperor, this worry is gone, and Qiao Yuyan feels much more relaxed.
In addition, everyone in the house was inspected, and there was nothing abnormal. I was even more relieved. When I came out of Senior Brother Long's place, I felt much better.
Qixi knew that she had something on her mind during this period, so she suggested with a smile: "Since everyone has come out, let's just eat out before going back! There are so many famous restaurants in the capital, and we haven't tasted them yet. It passed!"
Qiao Yuyan also thought it made sense, but it was a bit weird to take the maid to dinner alone, "You three girls went out early this morning again. You should have gone to the bamboo shop. Let's just go there to look for her together. Find a clean and elegant restaurant and have a good meal."
Seeing that she was really interested, she was naturally happy on Chinese Valentine's Day, and immediately ordered the coachman.
Who would have thought that when they arrived at Xinglong Street, they didn't see Qiao Yurong.
The shopkeeper of the bamboo shop was very attentive, "I originally said I was going to come over today, but I don't know if I was delayed by something or what. I haven't seen anyone since today. Maybe I went back again."
Qiao Yuyan was inevitably disappointed. Seeing that it was not too early to go back, she had no choice but to go to the most prestigious restaurant on this street alone.
She doesn't eat much out, but that doesn't mean she's ignorant. Although Jiangzhou is a small place, there are many restaurants and teahouses of all kinds.
With the Xu family's status in Jiangzhou, she has naturally eaten almost all the local dishes, and has seen a lot of various restaurants.
Although the family in front of her could not be called perfect, in Qiao Yuyan's heart it was still pretty good.
It seems that she came alone, so she specially arranged a private room facing the street. The place is not big, but the quality of the things inside is of extraordinary quality, and the furnishings are also very thoughtful.
Qiao Yuyan was very satisfied at the moment, and she didn't bother to follow the rules of the house. She pulled Qixi and Shiye to sit down, "You can't really ask me to eat at an empty table alone."
Shi Ye didn't feel shy at all and sat down directly. Qixi was still a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything and sat down next to Shi Ye.
She and Qiao Yuyan have been in love since childhood, so they are different from others, so naturally they won't be restless.
The dishes in this restaurant are average. It can only be said that they are average and not very outstanding. However, the squirrel mandarin fish is very authentic and Qiao Yuyan is a little surprised.
Even after being reborn, there is rarely a meal that I can eat so freely. Moreover, after I took charge of the family affairs, even if I was only a teenage girl, I would behave differently in order to be able to suppress the people below me. Look dignified and cautious on the outside.
How has it ever happened that you are doing this casually now?
No wonder many people like to eat out, it really has a different taste.
Although they were in a private room, they were only three masters and servants. The waiter just took them to a small room separated by bamboo curtains on the second floor.
Through the gap in the bamboo curtain, you can still see the excitement in the lobby, and you can even hear the high and low sounds outside.
There is quite a feeling of being in a world of fireworks.
"Why is my eldest niece eating here alone? Didn't I just catch up and have a meal?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Qiao Yuyan saw the corner of the bamboo curtain lifted, revealing Prince An's face.
Qiao Yuyan felt very uncomfortable, and the good atmosphere she had just felt seemed to have been disturbed.
It happened that the person who came was still a little bit confused about people's expressions. When he saw Qiao Yuyan looking over, he walked in directly.
Since he was there, Qixi and Shiye naturally couldn't sit in their seats anymore. They both stood up quickly and moved aside.
Prince An was also polite and polite. He called the waiter over and ordered a few dishes. "My eldest niece, I've been hungry for most of the day. Do you mind if I come with you?"
Just when Qiao Yuyan was about to speak, she saw him raising his hand, "Hey, between relatives, don't say anything about not being at the same table. What's the point of sharing? Isn't it?"
After speaking, he pointed outside and said, "Besides, I still have some respect in the capital. How ugly would it be to be kicked out by you like this?"
Having said all the good and bad things to her, what else could Qiao Yuyan say? She could only suppress her anger and said, "Prince An was joking. Since they are relatives, there is no reason to expel him."
"As expected, my eldest niece has a good temperament and is not pedantic."
While she was talking, a waiter was already bringing dishes inside, and Prince An introduced them to her one by one, "You have to try this. If you don't eat this stew when you come here, it's a waste. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on."
I'll serve you a bowl first."
After saying this, he immediately stood up and personally served Qiao Yuyan a bowl of soup without waiting for Qixi to come forward.
Qiao Yuyan originally felt very uncomfortable, but seeing how he didn't seem to be angry at all, she actually found it funny.
And although he was not familiar with this person and did not want to have anything to do with him, now that they were all sitting together, he was really not a bad person and had even helped her two or three times. Qiao Yuyan stopped being coy and acted openly.
He took the soup bowl, took a sip, nodded and praised, "It's really delicious."
"Hey! That's right!" Prince An seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude, so he chatted with her about her parents while they ate, without any of the noble master's so-called rule of not talking during eating or sleeping.
Even his appearance is far different from Qiao Yuyan's impression.
Seeing her surprised expression, Prince An was not embarrassed at all, "My appearance is all for outsiders to see. In front of my own people, I naturally do whatever makes me feel comfortable. Do you mind?"
Thinking of how she had seen him at various banquets in her memory, and how he looked now, Qiao Yuyan couldn't help but let out a "poof", and the discomfort suddenly disappeared.
"Don't mind."
"Try this fish. It is said to be the signature here, but you are from Jiangzhou. The fish there must be much more delicious than here, right?"
"Each one has its own delicacy, and good fish also requires a good chef's skills."
"Hey, is it the same over in Jiangzhou as here in Beijing, where girls' homes are all tied up like wood?"
Qiao Yuyan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
Prince An said: "I see that all the girls in the capital are the same. Not only do they behave according to the rules, but every word and deed, every frown and every smile is like a carved wooden beauty who has been measured with a ruler.
Yes, around the Jiangnan border, it will be much better, right?"
"You are not exaggerating. It's just because of your status. Everyone you see is a girl from a wealthy family. Everywhere you go, wealthy families follow the rules. This was originally a kind of moral character, but it changed the taste in your mouth.
Son."
Prince An didn't refute, he just smiled and asked about Jiangzhou, and he knew that although he had a high status, he had never left the capital, so he didn't feel bored, so he chatted with him carefully.
I didn't expect that we would be able to chat and eat happily together.
However, the atmosphere in the private room next door was extremely depressing. Princess Jiahe looked at the woman opposite her with a calm face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if there was a hint of ridicule. This chapter has been completed!
