The two said each other's names, and Shen Qinghe inquired about the reason why the other party climbed over the wall without any trace. When he knew that she was going to Wangxihe to see Changlefang's singer Hualing, a smile quickly flashed in his eyes.
Maybe it was because she was weak and sick in her previous life and was always bored in her boudoir, but in this life she has developed a lively and active personality, and she did a lot of things like climbing over the wall and sneaking out.
"I'm also going to Wangxi Restaurant. If Brother Jing doesn't mind, we can go together." Shen Qinghe quietly waited for the other party's answer after speaking.
Jingzhu thought that this person didn't look like a bad person, and he had helped her just now, so she had a good first impression, so she didn't reject his proposal.
The two then went to Wangxi Restaurant together. Wangxi Restaurant is located by the Wangxi River. There are many literati and poets on weekdays, but today it is even more crowded.
When the two arrived at the restaurant, before Jingzhu could speak, the waiter in gray came up to greet them, and said to the two apologetically, "I'm really sorry, there's no room in the building, sir. If you want to dine in..."
Before the waiter could finish his words, he was attracted by a token in Shen Qinghe's hand. After seeing what it was, his expression changed, and he immediately lowered his head and said, "Oh, I remembered, There is another wing room on the third floor, and I will take the two gentlemen there."
Shen Qinghe put the token back into his sleeve without any trace, turned his head and said warmly to the people around him: "Let's go, let's go up."
Wing? Isn't that expensive! Jingzhu touched her waist secretly, it's too bad! I was in such a hurry when I came out that I forgot to bring my wallet.
Jing Zhu stayed where she was, Shen Qinghe looked at her suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Jing Zhu coughed lightly, leaned closer to Shen Qinghe and whispered: "Well, Brother Shen, have you brought any money? The wing room in Wangxi Tower is not cheap, or we should..."
Before Jing Zhu finished speaking, Shen Qinghe chuckled lightly, then stretched out his hand to grab the man's sleeve and said, "It's okay, Brother Jing, I'm here to invite Mrs. Shen for today's dinner, and I have the right to be a friend of Brother Jing."
Hearing this, Jing Zhu's starry eyes immediately, this brother from Taiwan is too kind!
She didn't have a reserved personality either, so she immediately followed them up to the third floor. Compared with the first floor where all kinds of smells were mixed, and the crowded and noisy second floor, the environment on the third floor with all independent boxes was obviously much better.
They entered the orchid-shaped box, and the furnishings in the room were exquisite and stylish. On the couch behind the screen, a copper incense burner was emitting white smoke, and a fresh and elegant fragrance wafted in the room.
The restaurant faces south from the north, and is adjacent to the water in the north. Through the opened windows and doors, you can see the sparkling lake outside.
There was a mahogany Eight Immortals table near the window. Jing Zhu and Shen Qinghe sat opposite each other. After the waiter poured tea for the two of them, he politely asked them what they would like to eat.
The signature dishes in the restaurant are all delicious. Jingzhu had eaten here with her two elder brothers before, and it was very suitable for her taste. But this time, after all, Shen Qinghe paid for it, so she didn't rush to order, but looked at the Shen Qinghe.
"All the signature dishes in the store are served." Shen Qinghe just said this, which just happened to express what Jingzhu was thinking. , picked up the teacup to cover up, but he didn't know that the man had already seen everything.
Suppressing the smile on his lips, Shen Qinghe raised his eyes and glanced at the person opposite, Jing Zhu didn't notice at all, but stood up suddenly and said to Shen Qinghe: "Brother Shen, look over there! There is a painting boat!"
Shen Qinghe looked over with indifferent eyes, and saw the sparkling river surface not far away, and a painted boat was slowly crossing from the bend of the river hidden by the green hills. There were no people on the outside of the painted boat, but the inside could be vaguely seen through the gauze curtain. A graceful figure sitting upright.
In particular, the ballads sung softly and softly by women faintly heard from the painting boat, with just a few sentences, catch people's ears. When I want to listen to it, I want people to lift the gauze curtain to see the true face of the people inside.
Shen Qinghe withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, looked at Jingzhu's excited face, and couldn't help frowning, she was just a singer, and she deserved to be so happy.
Shen Qinghe's eyes darkened unconsciously, and his slender fingertips slowly stroked the wall of the teacup in his hand.
Jing Zhu didn't know what Shen Qinghe was thinking at all, it was the first time she saw this kind of novelty, she had heard about the singer of Changlefang from the servant girls in the mansion before, now she was able to witness it with her own eyes, she was naturally a little excited .
As soon as the boat in the river appeared, the noise downstairs became more and more obvious. Jingzhu leaned on the window and glanced down, and saw a group of black heads, all of them were those swingers, calling the names of the people on the boat.
It seems that Hua Ling is really very popular! Jingzhu retracted her gaze and looked at the river again.
The boat finally reached the center of the river and stopped slowly. The gauze curtain in the boat was also lifted by a maidservant dressed in pink, and then a man wearing a ponytail and a green tube top skirt walked out of it. Here comes the woman with the pink veil.
She was holding a five-stringed pipa slantingly in her hand, and when the servant girl placed the stool on the bow, the woman sat down on the stool.
She raised her head slightly, as if looking at them, Jingzhu obviously felt that the people downstairs were more excited, and the voice of calling "Hua Ling" continued, and some people even took flowers and threw them on the water. Throw it away, hoping to attract the beauty to look at it again.
But the beauty no longer raised her head, and just looked straight ahead at the river in front of her. Immediately, her slender hands began to pluck the strings, and a soft and beautiful pipa sound floated to everyone's ears. After the prelude, the beauty opened her voice, accompanied by the music , melodious, full of emotion, fascinating.
"It sounds so good!" Jing Zhu couldn't help but praise.
Shen Qinghe put down the teacup, and asked if he had no intention of asking, "Like it?"
Jing Zhu nodded and said: "Although I don't know the rhythm, I know that she plays the pipa very movingly. Brother Shen thinks so."
Shen Qinghe stared down at her, and said, "It's okay."
It seems that this brother is a bit picky, Jingzhu thought silently, and then looked at the river again, admiring the beautiful woman's voice, when suddenly there was a flute sound like a jade willow supporting the wind in her ear.
The sound of the flute and the sound of the pipa complement each other very well, making the tune even more pleasant to the ear.
Jingzhu felt that the sound of the flute was somewhat familiar, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the window of the wing room on the other side, but she was startled.
She just said, who else is the sound of the flute besides her second brother.
Jing Tingyu, who was playing the flute, felt that someone was watching, and turned her eyes towards the source of the gaze. She only had time to see half of the black Futou, and then looked back.
Fortunately, she shrunk quickly, otherwise, if the second brother found out, she would definitely have nothing to eat.
"What's the matter?" Seeing the strange expression on her face, Shen Qinghe asked with concern.
Jing Zhu blinked guiltily, then waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Coincidentally, the dishes they ordered came to the table, one after another, all of which Jingzhu liked to eat, and she didn't even bother to look at the beauties on the river, so Jingzhu picked up the chopsticks and started.
After eating a few mouthfuls, I realized that the person on the opposite side didn't move his chopsticks, but just looked at her with a smile on his face, which made Jingzhu blush. This person didn't move his chopsticks, so he didn't want to renege on his debt!
Thinking of this, Jing Zhao hurriedly stopped to greet him and said, "Brother Shen, why don't you eat, let's go together?"
Shen Qinghe, who had no intention of finding out what the other party was thinking in his heart, slightly raised his eyebrows, couldn't help laughing in his heart, but on his face he pretended to mutter: "Brother Jing, this table of food..."
Jing Zhu tightened her hand holding the chopsticks, feeling angry in her heart, she knew that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, he must want to renege on his debt, and he promised to treat her to dinner, liar!
Hearing what the other party scolded him over and over again, Shen Qinghe felt more and more funny in his heart, seeing the nervous expression on the other party's face, finally couldn't bear to tease her again, and continued, "Are you still satisfied?"
Hey? It's not that I want to renege on my debt, that's fine.
"Satisfied! I like it very much." After Jing Zhu finished speaking, she added tentatively, "Thank you Brother Shen for your hospitality? Next time I have a chance, shall I treat you to dinner?"
Shen Qinghe suppressed a smile and said: "Then let's make an appointment, how about tomorrow?"
Tomorrow...wouldn't be too soon, and she won't be able to go out, and her wedding ceremony will be in a few days, so my mother will definitely watch over her even more strictly.
Seeing Jingzhu's distressed face, Shen Qinghe didn't rush to push her, but only briefly mentioned that Xiangliu's God's Wish will be held in two days, when there will be thousands of lights on the street, it will be very lively.
Jingzhu naturally knew that she wanted to go to the God's Will Meeting, but mother would definitely not let her go out, so why not sneak out again?
"Then let's meet God's Will! Let's see each other at the same place!"
The old place Jing Zhao mentioned was the top of the wall in his backyard, and Shen Qinghe knew why she wanted to climb over the wall, so he didn't ask intentionally, just smiled and said yes.
After the two of them finished their meal, seeing Shen Qinghe paying the restaurant owner a piece of gold leaf, Jingzhu finally felt relieved.
When the two stepped down the wooden ladder, Jing Zhu was about to say thank you again, when she glanced at a pair of black cloud-toed shoes with a white background, and when she looked up, she saw the owner of the shoes. In front of Shen Qinghe, regardless of his appearance, he buried his head in front of his chest.
Shen Qinghe was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to embrace him.
Without waiting for him to ask, two people walked by, the one in front was wearing green clothes, with a jade face, and a jade flute pinned to his waist, which was the genuine Jingting jade.
Seeing someone blocking the way, Jing Tingyu cast her eyes sideways, and saw a handsome man hugging a man who was a head shorter than him. He couldn't see his face clearly, but the posture of the two was ambiguous. It looked like...
Jing Tingyu clicked his tongue secretly, and there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes. He was really a beast in clothes, and in the public, he was even more prodigal than the young master.
Then he left indifferently, completely unaware that the other party was holding his own sister in his arms.
When the people left, Jingzhu raised her head, her face was flushed, and she looked around. Seeing that her second brother had already left, she was relieved immediately, and immediately realized her embarrassing situation.
Jing Zhu hurriedly moved to leave, but the big hand imprisoned around her waist held her waist tightly, and the owner of the big hand lowered his head and approached her and asked, "Brother Jing, why did you throw yourself into your arms?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. I just met an acquaintance, and I didn't want him to see it, so I was rude to you. I'm really sorry." Jing Zhu explained anxiously, and at the same time struggled slightly to get out of his embrace.
Shen Qinghe also let go, but he sighed quietly: "So that's the case, it's just Brother Jing's actions just now, Shen's reputation is probably..."
Jingzhu didn't seem to understand what he meant, and followed his gaze, and saw that the people sitting on the second floor were all staring at them with strange expressions, not normal eyes after all!
"I'm sorry, then...then I'll make it up to you!" Jing Zhu said apologetically.
Still so innocent and easy to deceive, a smile flashed across Shen Qinghe's eyes, and then the eyes darkened a little, he could just tease him, if others dare to deceive her, heh.
Subconsciously thinking about it deeply, Shen Qinghe's expression was not very good, his eyes casually glanced at those people looking at them below, it was obviously Gu Jing Wubo's gaze, but it made them shudder, they did not dare to look directly at him, and all looked away.
"Let's leave here first." Shen Qinghe said, and then led the people out of Wangxi Restaurant.
The two walked side by side on the street, and Jingzhu brought up what happened just now, "Brother Shen, tell me, what compensation do you want, as long as I have it, I will definitely pay you."
Shen Qinghe really thought about it seriously, and then said: "Then how about I trouble Brother Jing to help me choose a jade hairpin?"
"Jade hairpin?" Jing Zhu turned her head to look at him and asked, "Yes, is Brother Shen going to give it to a man or a woman?"
Shen Qinghe stared at her and said, "Female."
"Oh." Jing Zhu understood, it seemed that this woman must be Brother Shen's sweetheart.
The two went to a jewelry store, and the store owner saw that the two were well dressed, and enthusiastically stepped forward to introduce them to the hairpin jewelry in the store.
Jingzhu is a girl, and her family has always pampered her. This jewelry store is also the most famous in Xiangliu. As long as there are new products in the store, they will be sent to Jingfu for Jingzhu to choose according to the usual practice.
Coincidentally, the store just released a new style of hairpin rings this month, and before it could be delivered to the mansion, Jing Zhu, who was planning to pick jade hairpins for Shen Qinghe, subconsciously chose the jewelry herself.
She took a fancy to a bracelet made of red tourmalines and a pair of gold-winged pearl tassel hairpins. She wanted to let the boss show them to her, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Qinghe standing by her side. Instead, move to the jewelry box where the hosta is placed.
There is a white jade hibiscus hairpin placed alone in a jewelry box with red velvet. The jade is warm and moist, with a gleam of light, and the carving is exquisite like nature. : "Lang Jun has a good eye. This hairpin is the only one in the store. It is made of the finest white jade. The carving technique is also top-notch, absolutely unique."
There is only one hairpin, isn't that...forget it, she already has a lot of jewelry, let's choose this hairpin for Brother Shen, this hairpin is so beautiful, it will definitely win the heart of his sweetheart.
"I think this one is pretty good, what do you think, brother Shen?" Jing Zhao asked, pointing to the white jade hibiscus hairpin.
He also eavesdropped on what was going on in someone's mind, and the corners of Shen Qinghe's lips curved slightly. Seeing Jingzhu's expression of resignation, he nodded and said, "I think it's very good, too."
Then he said to the shop owner: "Just this one, wrap it up!"
After leaving the jewelry store, Shen Qinghe proposed to send Jing Zhu back, but Jing Zhu subconsciously refused, but suddenly remembered the tall backyard wall of her house, and couldn't say the words of refusal again.
Shen Qinghe still sent her to the place where the two met.
Looking at the overly high courtyard wall, Shen Qinghe lowered his body and said, "Come on, step on my shoulders."
"Ah? This is not good, I have wronged Brother Shen too much." Jing Zhu hesitated and refused to go.
Shen Qinghe smiled at her comfortingly: "It's okay, you are not serious, I can bear it, come here quickly."
Jingzhu finally stepped on Shen Qinghe's shoulders and climbed up to the top of the wall. There was no need to worry about the baskets in the wall. Before going down, Jingzhu smiled at Shen Qinghe: "Thank you! Brother Shen, you are really a good person! Then I'll go back first, see you next time."
nice guy? Shen Qinghe laughed, and then watched Jingzhu disappear over the wall.
After two days like this, Jingzhu was still worried about how to go out on the day of God's wish, when the maid Hongrui brought her big news.
"It's not good, lady! Another matchmaker came to propose a marriage!" Hongrui ran into the house anxiously holding her skirt.
Jing Zhu was drawing eyebrows for herself, when she heard this, she put down the eyebrow pencil, and said indifferently: "It's a small family again, my mother will definitely not agree."
"But madam has already agreed." Hongrui said.
Jing Zhu stood up in shock, and asked anxiously: "Mother agrees? How is it possible, but have you found out who the other party is?"
Hongrui said all the news she had heard, "It seems to be the only son of Mr. Shen from Shen's Commercial Company. Oh, it was Mrs. Wei who came to propose marriage."
Madam Wei? That's not my mother's close friend in the boudoir, who was able to invite her.
Jing Zhu pursed her lips. Although marriage is about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, if she doesn't like her future husband, she will never marry.
