Red apricots make spring

Chapter 180
Xu Xiucai still remembers the last time that Mrs. Ma did not propose a marriage, but forced him to ask for ten cents, and finally chased after him and yelled loudly. After returning home, he left in a hurry, thinking with a sneer in his heart: Even if he wanted to find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, he would never find her!
He walked all the way to the snack street with his hands behind his back, looking at the signboards on both sides with his eyes open, and when he saw the words Wen's Restaurant, his eyes lit up, he rushed in in a hurry, caught a clerk and said he wanted to find gentleness.

The business in the restaurant was very busy, the waiters were too busy to greet the customers, and it was too late to deliver the food bowls, so there was no time to talk to Xu Xiucai, but when he heard that he was looking for Wen Rou, he still didn't dare to offend him, so he just smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is married." People, moved to live elsewhere, haven't come to the shop for several months, Miss Xiaohuan came around every day a while ago, and now I haven't seen her for a month."

Xu Xiucai was taken aback by the news that Rou Rou had married someone. He guessed that she might have married Ye Yu, but if she married Ye Yu, why didn't she care about the things in the shop?So he stopped the guy who was about to go into the kitchen and asked, "Do you know where she married into?"

"You haven't heard of such a big thing?" The clerk looked him up and down, a little unbelievable that he knew Wen Rou, because he had stayed here since the shop opened, but he had never seen this person, and said impatiently: "Everyone knows that the shopkeeper's cooking skills are extraordinary. Even the Holy Majesty was full of praise when he tasted it. In the end, he gave an oral order to make Master Lu, the grandson of General Weiyuan, a concubine."

"What... what..." Xu Xiucai's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, and he stammered, "Holy... the Holy One refers to marriage? To marry... the grandson of General Weiyuan?"

The situation was beyond his expectation. Even he, who had studied hard for decades, was not blessed to see the emperor. This lowly man who ran a small shop was actually proposed to marry by the emperor himself!The one who married was still a family of powerful officials and dignitaries with a lot of background!Even being a concubine is a great honor!

After Xu Xiucai heard the news, apart from being shocked, he was also extremely unbalanced.God is so unfair!Why is she, a poor girl who is not only good at cooking, but also good-looking, recognizes people of great status, and even the magistrate gives her a three-pointer, and she lives more comfortably than a scholar like him ?However, after he finished being jealous, he suddenly remembered the words "Shang Sheng" and "General Wei Yuan", and his face suddenly turned pale again. He instinctively thought that if Wen Rou did not commit a crime, it would be fine. Not to mention Shengshang and General Weiyuan, even Mo Wanjiang, the prefect of Yunzhou, is not something he can afford to offend just because he is poor and talented...

"Guest, there is a table vacated there, do you want to eat? If you don't eat, you just came to find the shopkeeper, please move to Lu's mansion to look for it." The waiter went in and out of the kitchen several times, seeing Xu Xiucai He was still standing there blocking the way, his face turned blue and white, and he gritted his teeth. He felt that this person was really weird, so he had no choice but to politely issue an order to expel him.

"Oh——" Xu Xiucai was a little lost at the moment, and he didn't have time to care about other people's attitudes, so he wanted to go out.

At this moment, two young girls suddenly walked in from outside the food shop, one of them was covered with a thin veil, with a pair of wonderful eyes shining brightly, with just a light sweep of Xu Xiucai's face, half of him was hooked away. His soul made him immediately forget all the teachings of the saints, his dignity and appearance, and just stared at the girl.

The girl glanced at him and ignored him, she only glanced around the shop in a blink of an eye, and asked the clerk, "Has Young Master Lu come here today?"

Her voice was like an oriole out of the valley, soft and melodious, and her breath was like a musk deer, with a sweet smell in her mouth, which made Xu Xiucai's body numb even half of her body.

"It's not a coincidence that you came here, Young Master Lu has just left." The clerk smiled and pointed at Xu Xiucai and said, "No, this master is still looking for my shopkeeper, I'll let him go to Lu's residence to look for it."

This young girl is Shen Mengyi. She went to find Lu Ce today. Who would have missed it? I heard that he seems to have gone to eat at the restaurant that Ruan Ruan originally opened. Recently, he has always been like this. He was about to go there in two days, Shen Mengyi felt sour when he heard it, so he followed him to find him. Who would have thought that he would not have met Lu Ce, but when he heard the clerk say that someone was looking for Wenrou, he unknowingly took Xu Xiucai's whole body After scanning it all over, seeing him staring straight at me with a wretched expression, almost drooling, I was quite unhappy, but in the end I suppressed my disgust and asked him: "Are you looking for gentleness?"

Xu Xiucai's soul didn't know where he flew to. He only saw Shen Mengyi talking to him, but he didn't realize what she was asking at all. When Shen Mengyi frowned impatiently, Lue pouted and said: "My girl asked if you were looking for gentleness!"

"Yes... ah... yes..." Xu Xiucai came back to his senses and hurriedly answered, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the green calyx was very beautiful, and his eyes were a little fluttering.

Talking to such a person is simply self-deprecation. Shen Mengyi didn't want to pay attention to him, but she was very interested in this person's pursuit of Wenrou. She guessed that he might be Wenrou's old acquaintance, but she didn't know what the two of them were like in the past. Only then did he suppress his temper, whispered a few words in Lue's ear, turned around and walked out.

Xu Xiucai's gaze followed Shen Mengyi out, Lue moved her body reluctantly, blocked his sight and said in a low voice: "My girl invites you to talk in Zuixiang Tower, come quickly." After finishing speaking , she hurriedly followed out, and helped Shen Mengyi, who was waiting beside the carriage, into the carriage, then frowned and looked at Xu Xiucai who was standing there, watching them with a happy face, and said disgustedly to the driver: "Go to Zuixianglou .”

A beautiful woman invited to Zuixianglou, this is really a great blessing that Xu Xiucai never imagined in his dreams. He still has a little bit of self-knowledge, knowing that when someone invites him, he may not be attracted to him, but this girl looks like someone from a famous family Girl, if you can make her happy during the conversation, if you can marry her...

The more Xu Xiucai thought about it, the more flustered he became, he had long forgotten the purpose of his coming here, and he forgot to think about the purpose of inviting him to Zuixianglou. I rushed to Zuixiang Tower.

After all, he has lived in Kyoto for a long time. Although Xu Xiucai was shy in the past and did not have the courage to step into the No. [-] restaurant in Kyoto with extremely expensive dishes, he was often amused by the aroma of wine and vegetables wafting out of it when passing by. He was so greedy that he imagined that one day, with a lot of money in his pocket, he would be welcomed by the shopkeeper of the restaurant to have a meal in the inner sea, so he rushed to Zuixianglou very quickly.

When he saw the carriage parked outside, he knew that the beautiful woman was waiting inside, so he couldn't help being distracted for a while, and then stepped in. When the waiter came up to him, he couldn't help but nervously touched the dry woman in his arms. With a deflated purse, he thought uneasily, since the woman invited him here, shouldn't he be asked to pay the bill later?

Xu Xiucai cleared his throat, and was about to ask the waiter if there were two women coming in, when he heard someone shouting, "Xiucai, here!"

He turned his head to look, but it was Lu'e who was waving to him, he quickly left the waiter, and followed Lu'e into the private room upstairs.Pushing the door open and entering, I saw Shen Mengyi sitting there, drinking tea with half of the veil lifted, Xu Xiucai's eyes straightened again with the bright red and moist lips and delicate and smooth skin.

"Sit." Shen Mengyi was originally impatient to talk to this person, but being stared at by him made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if soaked in filthy water, with goosebumps all over her body, so she had to coldly remind him to sit down, hoping that he would sit down. If you can come back to your senses, stop staring at yourself.

"Ah... ok..." Xu Xiucai wanted to go around to the other end of the big round table and sit down next to Shen Mengyi, but Lue blocked his way intentionally or unintentionally, and even picked up the teapot and poured it for him A cup of tea was placed on the table farthest from Shen Mengyi, and she said to him, "Please!"

Xu Xiucai sat down on the chair half annoyed and half flustered, and hastily brought over the cup of tea that had already been poured on the table. What's more, the table, hands and body are all wet, and it's not looking good.

Seeing this, Shen Mengyi raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a sneering smile, but the smile was hidden behind the veil, so she couldn't see clearly, then she glanced at Lue again and said: "Someone get the handkerchief twisted, let's serve the food by the way. "
