Lou Chenxiao glanced at Guo Hongyuan lightly, and said, "Hongyuan, take care of your own woman!"

Guo Hongyuan immediately looked nervous: "What's wrong with Yiyue?"

"He is convulsing, ignore him, Miss Shangguan is fine." Mi Congcong glanced at Lou Chenxiao and said to Guo Hongyuan.

Others don't understand, how can she not know what this guy is thinking, Shangguan Yiyue is a girl, and he is guarding like a thief, Mi Congcong really wonders if there is something wrong in his head?

Mi Dagang held back his laugh because of his brother-in-law's childishness, and glanced at the carriage, just in time to see Lin Miaoyu lift the curtain to look out, the two looked at each other and smiled, Lin Miaoyu hurriedly put down the curtain again.

"Zirui, which way are you going?" Zhuang Baihan shouted from there.

"Master Zhuang, this way." Mo Qi stepped forward to lead the way.

Lou's Zhuangzi in the suburbs is a bit far away, and the group didn't arrive until dark.

"My young master is starving to death!" Zhuang Baihan yelled as soon as he entered the Zhuangzi: "Zirui, quickly ask someone to bring some food here."

How did he know that it would take such a long time to go, otherwise he would have prepared some food and brought it with him.

Zhuangtou welcomed everyone in, and respectfully said: "Master and everyone, please wash up first, the food is ready, and we will serve dinner in a while."

Zhuang Baihan and Wan Haolin yelled when they saw the table full of delicious dishes. Wan Haolin took a piece of chopped braised pork elbow with his chopsticks and tasted it. After tasting the familiar taste, he laughed and cursed: "Okay You are Rui, even if you invited the cook from Zuixianlou, you wouldn’t invite us! Thanks to Bai Han and I, we have thick skins, otherwise we would have missed these delicacies!”

"The cook of Zuixianlou?!" Guo Hongyuan's eyes lit up, he quickly picked up a spoon to scoop up a mouthful of longan wolfberry pigeon soup, then nodded: "That's right, it's the taste of Zuixianlou!"

"Zi Rui, this is the chef from Zuixianlou, right? How did you do it?" Zhuang Baihan said excitedly, "No amount of money can afford to hire the chef from Zuixianlou!"

Even the ordinary cooks in Zuixian Tower have to spend a lot of money and have connections to hire them. Ordinary people can't even hire assistant cooks in Zuixian Tower. This Zirui really has a way!
Lou Chenxiao glanced at Mi Congcong, who was beside him but said nothing, and said, "My daughter-in-law got this chef in exchange for two special dishes. It doesn't cost money. You can order whatever you want these few days." ,you are welcome!"

Originally, Mi Congcong knew that Lou Chenxiao was going to spend a lot of money to invite the sous chef of Zuixianlou to accompany them to Zhuangzi. The more popular dishes let Lou Chenxiao take them to Zuixianlou to negotiate conditions with the shopkeeper. In the end, Lou Chenxiao only chose two dishes and replaced the main chef of the restaurant.

Lou Chenxiao's words drew cheers from several people: "Come here, drink, don't waste such a good table!"

Zhuang Baihan poured wine one by one. When he came to Mi Congcong's side, before Lou Chenxiao could speak, Mi Congcong politely refused: "I'm sorry, I can't drink, so I will replace the bar with tea."

She doesn't drink well, so she doesn't dare to be brave, especially in front of so many people, what if she gets drunk?
"Brother Mi, this can't be done! It's the first time we meet, you have to give me and Hao Lin some face, just one cup, just one cup!" Zhuang Baihan persuasively persuaded him to drink.

Lou Chenxiao was just about to stop Zhuang Baihan, but Shangguan Yiyue stood up before him, and said to Zhuang Baihan in a bad tone: "Mr. Mi said you can't drink it, why are you still forcing him? If you insist on Mr. Mi drinking, I will drink this cup." did it for him!"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yiyue took the jug from Zhuang Baihan's hand and filled Mi Congcong's glass, covered it with her sleeve, tilted her head, and drank the full glass in one go.

Everyone was shocked by Shangguan Yiyue's heroic behavior, and no one noticed that Lou Chenxiao's face turned dark.

Sometimes the first feeling is really important, Zhuang Baihan's first feeling for Shangguan Yiyue is that he has bad intentions, so he doesn't like him at all.

"Yiyue, your body is just right, how can you drink so hard?" Guo Hongyuan pulled her back to the seat with a nervous expression, and quickly put a piece of meat into her bowl: "Hurry up and eat something to pad your stomach."

Shangguan Yiyue was indeed hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.

Seeing that Zhuang Baihan couldn't get off the stage, and the atmosphere at the table was a bit tense, Wan Haolin hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Okay, you can drink as you like, but it doesn't taste good if the food on such a large table is cold. Let's eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"

"Yes, the weather is getting cold, let's eat quickly." Mi Dagang also echoed a few words to ease the atmosphere, and then picked up a piece of fish for Lin Miaoyu beside him: "The dishes in Zuixianlou are all good, what else do you like to eat? "

"Don't be too greasy, everything else is fine." Lin Miaoyu said in a low voice with a slightly red face, but she doesn't really like meat.

Lou Chenxiao swept across the table, and gave Mo Qi who was standing by the side a look. Mo Qi understood immediately, and exchanged the pot of tofu soup on the table for Mi Congcong.

With the embarrassment of persuading him to drink before, Zhuang Baihan didn't dare to provoke Shangguan Yiyue, and he didn't dare to persuade him to drink again. The atmosphere on the table finally returned to its previous high, but just when everyone was halfway through eating, they suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying in the distance .

No one noticed that the expressions of Mo Qi and Mi Congcong changed at the same time. Zhuang Baihan asked, "Didn't Zhuangtou just say that the tenants live in another place? Why are the cries so close?"

Lou Chenxiao's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Maybe some family is carrying the child around for a stroll."

The cry was obviously not that of a normal child, and he didn't want to scare them.

"No, it's not the cry of a baby, it's a ghost, it's a ghost!" Shangguan Yiyue suddenly turned pale and grabbed Guo Hongyuan's arm, shouting tremblingly.

"You heard it wrong, it's just a child crying, don't be afraid!" Guo Hongyuan patted her on the back and comforted her softly.

"Master Mi!"

Shangguan Yiyue suddenly remembered that Mi Congcong was here, stood up and rushed towards Mi Congcong, but before he got close, Mi Congcong was pulled behind by Lou Chenxiao: "Miss Shangguan, please respect yourself!"

Guo Hongyuan stepped forward and pulled Shangguan Yiyue back, and said: "With Congcong here, no ghosts will dare to come, be obedient, eat something first."

As Guo Hongyuan spoke, he gave Mi Congcong a pleading look, and Mi Congcong took out a few talismans and handed them to everyone with a relaxed expression: "Hongyuan is right, this village is very clean, there are no such dirty things, don't you guys?" If you don’t worry, put this talisman on your body, it can ward off evil spirits, have a good rest tonight, and have the energy to go out to play tomorrow.”

At first, Zhuang Baihan thought that Shangguan Yiyue was here to make trouble, but the crying didn't stop until they had finished their meal, and the crying was getting closer and closer, and the more they heard it, the more infiltrating it became. I can't sit still.

Mi Congcong knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he couldn't help but said to Lou Chenxiao: "Call Zhuangtou here."
