Chapter 189 Joy is hard to come by(1/2)

The crowd was no longer lively in the Yunlou many years ago. Cailian smiled and explained that after Ding's mother passed away, many girls in Yunlou left. Those who got married and those who got home went home. Cailian did not find any other girls to come in, and there was no shortage of flower buildings in the city. After Hua Youxian went to Yangzhou, the business of Zhiyunlou was no longer as good as before. As soon as the girls left, they were almost deserted.

"It's nothing wrong. Usually, everyone will do other small rouge and water powder businesses to make some money. It's enough to live a life of just a little bit of money." Cailian smiled and said, "It's just that the sisters have no other place to go. The Ruyun Tower was built by my mother, which is the sisters' home."

People should be satisfied, and it is great that they are like this now.

Hua Youxian asked everyone to sit down in the banquet hall, first ordered someone to arrange food and drinks, and asked Yan He and others: "What are the young men doing now?"

A few years have passed, and the teenagers have long grown into young people, no longer having the youthfulness of the past, but it can be seen that their experiences are extraordinary.

"I am now a doctor," Lin Shuanghe gently waved the folding fan and said seriously: "But only treat women, thanks to the love of the world, and has obtained the beautiful name of "Saint Hand in White". I feel very ashamed."

He Yan looked at Lin Shuanghe in surprise. Although Lin Shuanghe was unrestrained on weekdays, it was the first time since the reunion that he had seen him show off himself.

It is probably because I always want to perform better in front of people I admire when I was young.

"This one is even more powerful," he pointed at Yan He with a fan, "General Lang of Guide, General Yan."

Cailian was very surprised, "Young masters are so awesome now!"

Yan He was inexplicably uncomfortable, touched his ponytail and snorted: "It's not as powerful as General Feng Yun."

"General Feng Yun?" Hua Youxian was stunned. Following Yan He's gaze, he saw Xiao Jue drinking tea calmly, "Is Young Master Xiao... the current General Feng Yun?"

Lin Shuanghe: "That's right."

Hua Youxian and Cailian gasped at the same time. At that time, the group of teenagers reported their own homes, but this one and one of the masked boys never spoke. At that time, everyone thought that either the identities of the two of them were too expensive and difficult to reveal, or the identities were mediocre and not worth mentioning. However, Hua Youxian felt that in his heart, the outstanding appearance of the young man in white robe was the first.

Now after so many years, he never expected that he was the famous governor of the Right Army of the Great Wei Dynasty.

"This one is even more coincidental," Lin Shuanghe pointed to Yang Mingzhi, and said in some way that he was joking, "Now your governor of Jinling City is this Lord Yang."

Yang Mingzhi moved his lips and finally said nothing.

Hua Youxian and Cailian didn’t know the origin, but instead became very happy and said, “It seems that Young Master Yang is really destined to be with Jinling City. It’s such a coincidence!”

"Not." Lin Shuanghe snorted, "Why is it such a coincidence?"

"These two young men looked a little nervous," Hua Youxian looked at He Yan and Chu Zhao, and spoke in confusion.

"This is the first time they come to Jinling," Lin Shuanghe explained, "This one is named Chu, you can call him Mr. Chu. This one is a friend of his subordinates. He was already appointed as Wu'anlang at a young age. He is also the subordinate of Governor Xiao, named He Yan."

"Mr. Chu, Mr. He." Hua Youxian bowed with a smile, "Since it was my first time to come to Jinling, I must try the wine and food at Zhiyunlou."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Shuanghe's eyes lit up, "Miss You Xian, isn't the chef who entered Yunlou still the same person as before?"

Hua Youxian smiled and nodded: "The wine and food are made by the sisters in the building themselves, exactly the same as before. If the young men like it, everyone will be very happy."

He Yan still remembers that the wine and food in Ruyunlou are indeed unique, completely different from those in Shuojing Restaurant. It is sweet and mellow, and it is mellow. Later, she returned to Shuojing. The He family did not treat food and clothing badly, but she never tasted the delicious food like that in Ruyunlou back then.

During the greetings, a short while, someone brought wine and vegetables to the long table. They were all home-cooked side dishes, duck oil pastry cakes, plum blossom cakes, wontons, red beans and lard dumplings... golden and fragrant. After arriving in Jinling in the afternoon, he still had no meals, and He Yan was already hungry. Seeing that everyone was just talking and enduring, he couldn't help it. He silently raised his chopsticks, held the smoked fish silver silk noodles in front of him, and ate it in small mouthfuls.

The silver silk noodles were thin and soft, and they melted in their mouths. When they were boiled, they hooked out all the greed in their stomachs. Seeing that no one was paying attention, He Yan picked up another piece of crystal bun.

Lin Shuanghe was talking about interesting things about Hua Youxian over the years. The young men who came to Xianchang Pavilion went to Ha-fang again. While listening, He Yan did not delay his meal, he kept grabbing a flowering steamed bun.

The dishes are naturally delicious, especially when I just passed by the days when I couldn't even eat dry biscuits in Rundu City, even tofu brain became a more precious thing than imperial meals. He Yan saw that there was a plate of glutinous rice lotus on the other end of the long table, and he was a little excited.

The glutinous rice lotus in Ruyunlou is sweet and delicious. When you bite it, it seems to have bitten off the flowing water of the small bridge and the clear wind and bright moon in Jiangnan water town. She loved to eat this bite back then. I still remember when I first came to Ruyunlou, she asked her to eat the plate of glutinous rice lotus. So she wanted to take advantage of the time when everyone was talking to secretly pick up a piece to taste it, whether it was the same as before.

Unfortunately, this plate of glutinous rice lotus root was really a coincidence. It was placed on the long table, the farthest end from her.

He Yan raised his chopsticks hard and tried to stretch out his hand to pick it up. Unfortunately, it was too far away. If he stood up to pick up the food, it would be too rude. He tried it a few times and had to give up helplessly. She was sighing in her heart, and the next moment, she suddenly saw a piece of glutinous rice lotus appear in the bowl in front of her.

He Yan was stunned and saw Xiao Jue put down his chopsticks, as if he was not the one who did this just now. He didn't look at He Yan, and turned his head to listen to Lin Shuanghe's words. It seemed that doing this was just a casual move and did not take it seriously.

He Yan's ears turned slightly red. Before she could think of what to do next, she saw another piece of glutinous rice lotus in the bowl in front of her. She was stunned and subconsciously raised her head, facing Chu Zhao's smiling expression.

The conversation on the table stopped at some point. There were two pieces of glutinous rice lotus in He Yan's bowl, and everyone else on the table stared at her, with an unknown look.

He Yan's eyes turned dark. What's this? She just wanted to pick up a snack quietly, but why did it become the center of everyone's attention?

Chu Zhao smiled warmly on this end, as always, Xiao Jue looked at her calmly, making people feel uncomfortable.

Yan He frowned and looked at her for a while, lit the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, and said, "I want to ask, Wu'anlang, are you a royal relative?"

He Yan: "No."

"Since it's not," Yan He asked incredible questions, "Why are they two?" He pointed at Xiao Jue with chopsticks, and then at Chu Zhao, "will do such a kind of favor-competition."

As soon as the word "competition for favor" came out, He Yan was frightened.

Before she could think of how to reply, Lin Shuanghe had already smiled, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the glutinous rice lotus that Chu Zhao had picked up for He Yan, and said with a smile: "Hey, my favorite thing to eat is glutinous rice lotus, it's still Mr. Chu Si understands me. It's so good," he took a bite, "It's so sweet! Thank you Mr. Chu Si."

Seeing this, Chu Zhao was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

He Yan then breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Shuanghe was so smart that he had made the matter come true. Otherwise, Xiao Jue would have thought of her in his heart. But Chu Zhao was so good, how could he suddenly pick up food for her? If this behavior fell into the eyes of others, it would inevitably be strange.

However, Hua Youxian seemed to have seen something, clapped her hands with a smile, and a girl with a fallen horse bun came forward with a small jar of wine.

"Young masters haven't drunk the Bifang wine from Yunlou for a long time." She put the wine jar on the table, "There is only the last jar of Bifang wine left this year."

The girl who was attending brought a few glasses, and the green wine was filled with green and bright, fragrant. He Yan still remembered that the wine that entered the Yunlou when he was young was sweet and clear, and the drinkers were slightly drunk, but they were not drunk. He was very excited for a moment. When the girl was about to pour wine into the wine cup in front of He Yan, Xiao Jue glanced at her and suddenly said, "Give her a bowl of milk."

He Yan: ""

The girl who poured the wine was also stunned and looked at Xiao Jue at a loss. He Yan asked for no reason, "Governor, why do I want to drink milk?"

The man was very calm and said, "Milk grows taller."

Yan He touched his chin, looked at He Yan and nodded and responded: "Indeed, this kid is indeed a bit shorter."

Hua Youxian smiled, "Young Master Xiao, there is no milk in Zhiyunlou. Bifang wine is a bit fierce. I'm afraid this young man can't drink it. Dinglilac, you go and get the rose dew."

Soon, a girl took the rose dew. The rose dew entered the cup, which was a light red that was completely different from the Bifang wine. He Yan picked it up and took a sip, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This wine is exactly the same as the sweet wine she tasted at Ruyunlou back then.

Yan He, who was on the other side, also grabbed a cup, took a sip and frowned, "What's this? It's sweet, like a dew of fruit."

"This is Rose Dew, which is for the girls to drink on their own."

Yan He was unaware of anything and mocked He Yan and said, "Wuanlang, did you hear that? This is for the girl to drink! Are you still a man?"

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intent, and He Yan was speechless. Just as he was thinking about how to reply without rudeness, Lin Shuanghe on the side cleared her siege. Lin Shuanghe shook her fan and said slowly: "Yan Nanguang, you came to Yunlou when you were young, and now you are coming to Yunlou again. Do your wife know about this?"

Yan He's face changed drastically.

"Miss Chengxiu values ​​etiquette the most, and Lord Xia is also cleansing himself. The Xia family is afraid that none of them have ever gone to the flower building, but they have made an exception here. I wonder how Miss Chengxiu knows about this, how will she think of you?"

"You... don't want to talk nonsense." Yan He stammered in rebuttal, but this rebuttal was very imposing.

He Yan heard this and said strangely: "Miss Chengxiu? Is it General Yan's wife?"

"Miss Xia Chengxiu, the eldest daughter of the Imperial College Priest, has soft branches and tender leaves, and is gentle and polite. How many people in Shuojing want to hire a beautiful woman for their young master, but Yan Nanguang is the first to climb." Lin Shuanghe smiled and joked, "It is said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty. Our General Yan heard that he listened to his wife in the mansion. The wife told her to go east and never let her go west, and the wife did not let her drink, and she only drank tea when she socialized with her colleagues. She is really a model for a virtuous husband."

Yan He's face turned red, "Lin Shuanghe, you... don't talk nonsense here!"

"Oh? Isn't that the case? Then when I return to Shuojing next time, I must ask my sister-in-law's wife carefully." He said.

Yan He didn't dare to say anything anymore. If Lin Shuanghe really confronted Xia Chengxiu, wouldn't he immediately slap him in the face? His eyes flew over the people on the table, and simply took a different approach, raised his ponytail, slapped the wine cup in front of him on the table, and shouted: "What's wrong with listening to the lady's words? A real man can bend and stretch! Besides, I at least have a wife. Do you have one? Do you have one? Who are you here? Is it? Is it? Is it a wife now?"

He Yan: ""

This is really unresponsive.

Yan He drank the wine in front of him again. I don’t know if the wine was particularly intoxicating. He was already drunk. He first asked Lin Shuanghe: "You are mixed with women every day, and all women in the world are your sister. Do you have a wife?"

Lin Shuanghe: “…No.”

He asked Yang Mingzhi with satisfaction as if he had won a battle, "You are gentle and talented. People say that a talented man does not lack a good match for a beautiful woman. Do you have a wife?"

Yang Mingzhi: “…No.”

Yan He became more and more excited and looked at Chu Zhao, "You have..." He suddenly stopped and said to himself: "Your wife has already made a reservation, forgot, next one."

He asked He Yan again: "Little man, do you have a wife?"

He Yan: ""

She really can't have this.

Yan He turned to Xiao Jue again and looked at him proudly, "You are the number one in Xianchang Pavilion, with a handsome face and outstanding figure. You are unrivaled in civil and military affairs. In those years, the threshold outside the Xianchang Pavilion was about to be broken by girls, but... do you have a wife?"

Xiao Jue looked at him calmly.

"You don't have it at first glance!" Yan He swept across the entire table with his own strength. He probably thought that having a wife was a high honor, and he became more and more happy. He slapped the table, stood up and whispered: "It seems that you are not so good. Do you know how powerful it is to have a wife? When you come home late at night, no one was waiting under the lamp? When you are in a headache and hot mind, have you ever drunk the hot soup cooked by your wife? Don't mention the clothes and boots sewn by your wife, "Hey," he glanced at everyone contemptuously, as if he was looking down on the emperor in the world, "Not to mention having a wife, you are still living until now, I'm afraid you haven't even pulled the girl's hand, and the first kiss is still there."

The more he spoke, the more he became less and less sensible. He Yan covered his face with his hand and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but pull out La Yanhe's robe, "Brother Nan Guang, it's past."

Seeing this, the girls who were pouring wine and playing the piano couldn't help laughing. They just felt that this young man who looked arrogant and arrogant also had a kind of reckless cuteness at this moment.

Cailian smiled and said, "Young Master Yan is wrong. We are here in Zhiyun Tower. If you say it is a girl, you have nothing to lack. You are so outstanding. I think you really want to pick the sisters in the building, and everyone is willing to do so."

He Yan was so shocked that he almost threw his cup. What is this? He started to recommend himself to the pillow table? No! Absolutely no! Although it is Ruyun Tower, she has always regarded Ruyun Tower as a serious tavern.

Just as she thought of this, she saw that the two beautiful and charming girls beside Cailian were already sticking to Xiao Jue. She had a good look. She picked up the best one here with one pick. He Yan was faster than he thought and subconsciously shouted: "No!"

Two girls who were about to persuade them to drink had a meal, and the others on the table looked at her.

Facing Xiao Jue's thoughtful gaze, He Yan calmly said, "We and our group came here, only drinking, not loving each other."

Upon hearing this, Hua Youxian smiled even more happily. She poured a glass of green wine herself and made a gesture to worship He Yan, "Young Master is so cute, I wish you a glass."

He Yan felt like a honest scholar who accidentally entered a fairy cave. At this moment, he was really weak and pitiful and helpless.
