Loyang Jin

The dishes at Dingxianglou are exquisite and are second to none among many restaurants in the capital.

After Mr. Ling Wu arrived in the capital, he went to many famous restaurants, and Dingxiang Restaurant was the first time he came back. The restaurant waiter introduced the restaurant's special dishes in a nonchalant manner. Ling Wuye said very proudly: "No need to introduce any more. I'll serve you all the signature dishes in the restaurant."

The waiter nodded in agreement with a bowed smile and quickly retreated.

Soon, hot tea, snacks and cold dishes were served.

Ling Xiao watched with great interest. He took a small piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, eating it with relish.

Ling Jingshu watched from the side and suddenly felt hungry: "Axiao, is this kind of pastry really delicious?"

Ling Xiao blinked and smiled: "In the past, when I ate dim sum, you would pick it up with chopsticks and bring it to my mouth. Today, I do it myself, so the taste is of course different."

Since his eyesight recovered, Ling Xiao's temperament has become more cheerful day by day.

Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Xiao's lively appearance, feeling indescribable joy in her heart, and also picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. Sweet but not greasy, with a delicate texture, it is indeed very delicious.

"Cousin Yan, this pastry tastes very good. Come and try it." Ling Jingshu said with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Jian politely: "I wonder if Mr. Zhang likes pastries? You might as well try one."

Ling Jingyan and Zhang Jian were going back and forth. As they were talking, they were hungry and their mouths were dry. After hearing this, they ate a piece of pastry and drank a cup of hot tea. The words food appearance and elegance have nothing to do with each other.

In comparison, Zhang Jian is much more reserved. He was not too hasty when tasting the pastries, and he was particularly gentle and polite when talking to Ling Jingshu.

hypocritically! Pretending!

Ling Jingyan glanced at Zhang Jian, but she didn't like it no matter what.

In fact, she usually puts on a good show in front of strangers. Smile without showing your teeth, walk without showing your feet, be gentle and demure and very decent. But facing Zhang Jian, whom she had only known for a long time, she didn't even have the slightest interest in pretending to be a lady. She even thought maliciously that she would be rude and unruly, and it would be best to make Zhang Jian angry and run away.

Soon, the dishes arrived.

Ling Wuye specially ordered two bottles of wine. Ling Xiao's eye disease has not yet completely recovered, so he should not drink. Zhang Jian did his part and took the initiative to raise his glass and propose a toast.

The two of them went back and forth, drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Ling Jingyan buried her head in eating and drinking and ignored Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian glanced at Ling Jingyan from time to time.

Ling Jingshu saw this and found it interesting. This Zhang Jian was so shameless that he wanted to have this lunch. He was obviously a drunkard who didn't care about drinking!

…

An hour later.

Ling Jingshu, Ling Jingyan, and Ling Xiao had already eaten and were sitting around chatting to kill time.

Ling Wuye and Zhang Jian drank four bottles of wine in total. The fifth master Ling was already half drunk, and the "drunkard" Zhang Jian was not as drunk as the fifth master Ling, and a blush appeared on his handsome face.

Ling Wuye was about to ask the waiter to serve another pot of wine, but Ling Jingshu stopped him in time: "Father, I think Mr. Zhang has drunk too much. If he drinks any more, he won't even be able to ride a horse. It's better not to drink!"

Zhang Jian rushed to respond: "I, I, I'm not drunk, it doesn't matter if I drink another two pots."

Everyone wanted to laugh but was embarrassed, and it was quite hard to endure it.

Ling Jingyan didn't have so many scruples. She smiled and teased: "You, you, you are really not drunk? Then why are you stuttering?"

Zhang Jian: "..."

Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

Only then did Ling Wuye realize that Zhang Jian's face was flushed and his eyes were distracted. He would definitely get drunk if he drank any more. I couldn't help but burst into laughter: "That's all, I had a lot of fun drinking today, and it's really not appropriate to drink more. Let's break up now! Let's get together another day."

Zhang Jian immediately responded: "Okay, I will definitely go to Ling Mansion to visit Fifth Master Ling in a few days."

Ling Wuye: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Zhang Jian looked drunk just now, but he was not drunk at all! Climbed up along the pole.

Ling Jingshu wanted to laugh but held it back.

Ling Jingyan stared at her almond-shaped eyes in surprise, as if she was seeing Zhang Jian for the first time.

Fifth Master Ling cleared his throat and said, "Then I will wait for Mr. Zhang at Ling Mansion."

Zhang Jian immediately smiled and cupped his hands: "Then it's a deal."

…

"How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"

After paying the bill, everyone left Dingxiang Tower and went their separate ways. Ling Jingyan finally had a chance to express her indignation and resentment: "I just talked too much, and he plans to rely on me? I've already invited him to lunch, and he's still not satisfied. He still wants to come to our Ling How shameless is it to come to the house to have a meal and drink?”

Hearing what Ling Jingyan said was interesting, Ling Xiao laughed happily: "Cousin Yan, it's not as exaggerated as what you said. I think Mr. Zhang has a frank temperament, humorous words, and is very relaxed and pleasant to get along with. He is a friend worth keeping. "

Ling Jingyan wrinkled her nose at Ling Xiao: "What kind of friend is worth keeping? Don't be deceived by him! He is simply a shameless guy who eats and drinks!"

Ling Jingshu couldn't stop laughing: "Cousin Yan, he is a good young master who is also the servant of the Ministry of Justice. He is well-dressed and well-fed, how could he be greedy for food and drink? You are prejudiced against him. Looking at it from another perspective, he is actually quite good. Get close to each other.”

"Hey, hey, you've been fooled anyway." Ling Jingyan was very dissatisfied when she saw the two siblings talking to Zhang Jian: "Are you still my good sister?"

When Ling Jingyan gets angry in a hurry, her eyes will open wide and spin around, not to mention how cute they are.

Ling Jingshu deliberately teased her: "We are good sisters, of course I am attracted to you. However, Zhang Jian looks really good. In the future, when he comes to visit, you might as well spend more time with him and talk to him, maybe soon You will find his strengths and fall in love with him.”

"How can this be!"

Ling Jingyan retorted without thinking: "How could I have a crush on him? This kind of joke is not funny at all."

This may not be the case!

Maybe, Zhang Jian is Ling Jingyan's destined happy enemy!

Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Jingyan with a smile, and reminded meaningfully: "Cousin Yan, think about it carefully. Zhang Jian followed us to Dingxiang Building today, and then asked to come to our Ling family as a guest. What is the reason for? "

For what purpose? !

Ling Jingyan was confused by the question, and Zhang Jian's handsome and smiling face suddenly appeared in her mind.

Strange, how could she remember his appearance when she had never looked at him directly? I even remember the evil smile on the corner of my lips clearly...

Ling Jingyan immediately pushed this unnecessary thought out of her mind.
