She showed a look of joy, which made his heart soften, and she thought about the few of her staff in the study outside, she had never seen them before, so they were bound to be restrained, so she hesitated and said: "Have Langzhong Ruan and his medicine boy eaten? Invite them to come and have dinner together."
His eyes flicked over lightly, and the butler accepted it, bowing down respectfully.
He said "please come here", so naturally he had to undergo countless rounds of interrogation before he could come in.
She doesn't know this, but she understands that this is his biggest concession - after all, these people are the only people who can barely be regarded as "guests" in the entire Puyuan.
Not long after, those cleansers and respectable guards came over flattered, and sat trembling at the bottom. After a while, Ruan Langzhong came in with his medicine boy.
"Xiaodai." She smiled happily when she saw Yaotong, and beckoned to him, "Come here, sit beside me..." Suddenly, she felt that this was inappropriate, and turned to look at Jin Siyu asking, Jin Siyu frowned when he heard this sentence , when she saw her in time and realized that she knew how to turn around and ask him for advice, her expression was like that of a wife asking her husband, and suddenly she felt joy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Come here."
Xiaodai walked over unceremoniously, Ruan Langzhong looked at it with a smile, shook his head, and apologized to Jin Siyu, Jin Siyu said: "Mr. has done my best for Shaoyao, and I haven't thanked you yet, so you are welcome." He motioned to the housekeeper to take him Sit across from me.
The long table is very large, and the chairs are far apart. It is said that you are sitting next to you, but in fact, you can't reach it with your arms extended. She didn't pay attention to others first, but poured a glass of wine first, held it in her hand to respect Jin Siyu, drank it first, and said softly: "I wish the prince a long life, and every year is as happy as today."
Jin Siyu looked at her snow-white fingers holding the jade cup, and couldn't tell which one was whiter. It reflected the light under the light. After drinking a glass of wine, his face turned slightly red, demure as a delicate flower shining in water, and he was busy smiling. Raise the glass, before drinking, I feel soft smoke in my heart, and I am almost drunk.
She sat down, and then used a long-handled spoon to scoop up the soup for Xiao Dai, and said, "This is scallop and shellfish soup, which is very rare in this season, Xiao Dai, you can try it."
The boy didn't wait for the maid to bring it over, he took the bowl silently, and drank it carefully, as if he was tasting the fresh shellfish that is difficult for people in the Northland to taste.
He lowered his long eyelashes, not looking at anyone, but only at the snow-white shellfish floating in the clear soup.
Just now I had dinner with Zong Chen in my own yard, and after listening to Zong Chen telling him everything about tonight, I suddenly heard the news that the prince invited us to spend New Year's Eve together. This was not originally in their plan. The man came here worried, thinking that something would happen, but as soon as he entered the door, he saw her looking up with a warm smile.
When he met that gaze, he, who had always been confused and confused about other people's inner world, suddenly understood her intentions.
She wants to celebrate New Year with him.
Accompany him to appreciate the warmth of the world of mortals, the fireworks in the world, and live a truly accompanied year in his life amidst the heat and full of festivities.
In the past years, no matter how many people were there, he couldn't get close to his world. His lonely and blank world couldn't be stained with the hustle and bustle of the past years.
Now this year, in dangerous places, enemy groups, hostile centers, before action, the most inappropriate moment, but she insisted on giving it boldly.
Do you feel that time goes by year after year, fate is up and down, no one knows what will happen in the future, no one knows whether we will be together next year, so we should cherish the present and share this moment together
He drank the soup slowly, he didn't like the unique smell of fresh water, but he drank it sweetly.
She looked at him with a smile, her eyes were kind, like all lonely people, the simple joy of seeing a speculative companion.
Jin Siyu felt that the young man's special focus on eating was very lovable, and when he got excited, he actually picked a few pieces of meat for Xiao Dai himself, saying: "This is made by the top chef in Puyuan. The red fragrant fermented bean curd meat is the softest and most delicious, you probably have never eaten it, come, eat, eat."
Three pieces of meat.
Xiao Dai's hand paused.
Ruan Langzhong, who was drinking on the opposite side, also paused with the hand holding the cup. After a moment, he stood up with a smile, and raised his glass respectfully to Jin Siyu.
He planned to use a toast to divert Jin Siyu's attention, but as for what Xiao Dai would do later, he was not sure, so he had to prepare for the worst.
Once three years ago, the man who served him forgot the rule of eight pieces of meat, and he threw the bowl into the cesspit.
Now if this bowl is thrown into the cesspit, it will cause an uproar.
Ruan Langzhong raised the glass, clasped the bottom of the glass secretly with his fingers, glanced at Xiao Dai from the corner of his eyes, and smiled at Jin Siyu.
Xiao Dai lowered his head and stared at the meat without moving his chopsticks.
Jin Siyu's gaze has already drifted away in doubt.
Although Ruan Langzhong was smiling, when he looked closely, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his standing position changed slightly.
Xiaodai stood up suddenly.
Both Jin Siyu and Ruan Langzhong were taken aback.
The boy stood up, bowed to Jin Siyu, then sat down, and finished eating the three pieces of meat in silence.
His attitude towards eating meat looks completely the same as his attitude towards eating soup.
Jin Siyu was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "It is said that he is mentally incomplete, but I think he is also sensible. No wonder Shao Yao'er likes it."
The guests rushed to make fun of it, boasting wildly, saying that Wang Yede was influenced by fools from all over the world, etc. Miss Shaoyao listened quietly, with something shining in her eyes.
Ruan Langzhong sat down in silence, let go of his fingers, and glanced at Xiao Dai who was eating the three pieces of meat seriously, and his eyes flickered for a moment, complicated and unspeakable.
No one is more aware of that person's persistence and closure than him. In the past ten years or so, he has exhausted his peerless medical skills and various means, but he has not opened a single inch of light. The hustle and bustle of the world was once so clearly in front of him. He couldn't see it but he couldn't see it.
But now, seeing him step by step out of the fog and towards clarity, step by step out of his own persistence towards the only person in the world who can warm him, he doesn't know whether it is worry or joy.
He learned to eat three pieces of meat, and also learned to force himself to bow to his enemies.
This is a complex life of gaining and losing at the same time.
