The Plow

Being in He Youan's environment, it was difficult to express her inner fears and worries.

With her popularity, as long as her behavior is slightly deviated, it will be published in the newspapers immediately, appear in the market, and be criticized by the world.

She and Ling Shu had only met each other a few times, not even a deep friendship, but she could only tell the truth here and at this moment, and relieve her distress in front of them, even though she was beautiful, she could not have a single confidant.

Maybe because he said the repressed and troublesome things, He Youan's expression became much lighter.

"Thank you two gentlemen for your great help. I know that you don't like copper and vulgar things, and you don't dare to stain your eyes with these things. In the past few years, I have used my savings to buy some jade calligraphy and paintings here and there. It’s not worth much, but some works by famous Song and Ming masters can also be enjoyed by the two of you.”

Yue Dingtang: "We help you, not for these."

He Youan earnestly said: "I understand that these objects have a clean history and were bought with clean money. Please rest assured, don't refuse. I know that no matter how much I give, I can't express my feelings, but this is already The best way I can think of, if the two of you don't accept me, I won't have the face to ask you for help."

Since she talked about this, Yue Dingtang naturally couldn't say anything more.

Ling Shu suddenly coughed softly: "Miss He, what you said is unconventional, that is Lao Yue, he is a university professor with an extraordinary family background, he really likes these things, I am different, I am very vulgar, any antique calligraphy and painting I don't like it, but I only like President Yuan's bald head."

Yue Dingtang: ...

He Youan chuckled.

It is no longer the age when President Yuan was in power, but the silver dollar "Yuan Datou" cast with President Yuan's head has been handed down since then, and has become one of the hard currencies circulating in the market to this day.

What Ling Shu said is naturally implying that he likes money, so that He Youan can directly use money as a reward.

This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

Yue Dingtang was speechless, wanting him not to be so embarrassing, but he didn't know what to say.

He Youan suppressed a smile and nodded: "I understand, don't worry."

While speaking, the door of the private room opened, and the dishes were served one after another.

Baofenglou’s exclusive secret recipe makes lion’s head with crab powder and chicken soup as the base. The meat balls absorb the vegetable juice, and the aroma of the meat itself is fully transpired, blending with the chicken soup. .

Wensi tofu, outsiders took a look, this is not tofu soup. At first, I didn't think it was surprising, and then I picked it up with chopsticks, only to find that the tofu was cut into thin silk, thin and continuous, even the eye of a needle can go through. , but it melts in the mouth, long and delicate, with softness to overcome rigidity.

Then there are squirrel mandarin fish and crystal meat, which are placed on the Eight Immortals table one by one. Although the names of the dishes can be seen elsewhere, the chef hired by Baofenglou with a lot of money is not simple after all. The same dishes can also make people feel Have different expectations.

There are also rock sugar lotus roots, vegetarian roasted winter bamboo shoots, etc. There are meat and vegetables, taking into account everyone's taste, which is considered an effort.

The color, aroma and taste alone are already excellent works.

"Both of them are not from the north, so I ordered Huaiyang cuisine."

"Thank you, Ms. He, for your carefulness. Then I will be impolite."

"Two gentlemen, just use it slowly. I also asked someone to prepare sweet-scented osmanthus brew and green plum brew, which will be delivered later when they are warm."

With Ling Shu around, no matter how few people there are, it won't be deserted.

With wine and food, He Youan gradually showed his beauty and joined the three of them chatting.

Although she has never read books since she was a child, she has worked hard since she was aware of her own shortcomings, and she has to go to various places with Shen Qiqi. Being able to speak a few sentences in foreign language, naturally he wouldn't be dumbfounded in the face of Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang, and he could continue a few sentences now and then.

Ling Shu was a little anxious.

He drank a lot of water before going out, and drank a lot of wine at the banquet. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up and apologized to relieve himself.

After he came back, he passed by the private room next door, the waiter was coming out with a tray, the door was half opened, he raised his head and faced Ling Shu, the waiter hurriedly made way, and asked the guests to go first, Ling Shu naturally glanced inside the door.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, if the people inside feel it, they will just raise their heads.

Four eyes facing each other.

Ling Shu saw his old friend.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then anger surfaced, he stood up abruptly, and walked towards him.

Yo, it's not that enemies don't get together.

Ling Shu smiled.

Laugh and get angry.

The two reacted very differently.

"Do you still dare to hang out in front of Grandpa?"

Shen Qiqi sneered, and couldn't even wait for his bodyguard to come up, so he reached out and grabbed Ling Shu's collar.

Ling Shu dodged sideways and easily avoided it.

The movements are smooth and flowing, seemingly chic, but in fact, if you don't pay attention, you will touch the old injury. The back from the stick last night began to ache again.

But Shen Shiqi didn't care if he was a master, and if he couldn't catch him, he threw his whole body over, grabbed him by the shoulders, and pushed him into the corridor!

Ling Shu raised and pushed his hands, but the other party involuntarily let go of his hands, staggered forward due to inertia, and was about to fall off the railing and fall downstairs, one hand grabbed his clothes from behind in time, dragging Sheng Sheng back .

Shen Qiqi sat on the ground, his face flushed red with anger, and just about to explode, he saw Yue Dingtang coming out of the private room next door.

When the mouthful of foul words reached his throat, it was like a fruit pit, and he couldn't swallow it, and couldn't spit it out.

A Yue Dingtang is nothing to worry about, but the Yue family behind Yue Dingtang cannot but be feared.

Shen Shiqi doesn't want to have a conflict with Yue Dingtang at this stage, let alone lose his composure tonight.

Ling Shu watched the other party's distorted and twitching expression with interest, and finally spit out a sentence from his mouth——

"Thank you!"

Ling Shu almost laughed: "Young Master Shen, thank me for what?"

Shen Shiqi smiled happily: "Thank you for pulling me just now, otherwise my foot slipped and I might have fallen."

Ling Shu teased: "Then this is my life-saving grace, you have to show it?"

The corner of Shen Shiqi's mouth twitched: "I'll ask someone to bring some gifts to the house later, to express my gratitude."

"what happened?"

Someone lifted Shen Shiqi up and asked casually.

It was only then that Ling Shu discovered that there was another person in the private room where Shen Qiqi was.

The other party is in his [-]s and [-]s, with ordinary appearance and mediocre facial features, but there is a shrewd look between his eyebrows and eyes. He looks like a businessman, and the business is doing well. He may often deal with all kinds of people from all corners of the country, with deep smile lines on the corners of his mouth. , with a smile on the tip of his eye.

"Mr. Cheng!"

Shen Shiqi got up quickly, with his style of conduct, he was not shy when he met the American consul, but he was a little apprehensive and fearful in the face of this Mr. Cheng.

"It's nothing. I met a friend and had some misunderstandings. Now I have explained it clearly."

Instead of continuing to bite and hold on, Shen Shiqi took the initiative to calm things down.

Mr. Cheng nodded and helped him up.

"That's good. Peace is the most important thing for a businessman. When we come out to travel the rivers and lakes, we rely on friends. The more friends we have, the wider the road will be."

Shen Shiqi laughed and said, "That's right, that makes a lot of sense!"

Mr. Cheng wanted to say something, but his voice stopped abruptly, but his eyes fell on the woman behind Yue Dingtang.

"This lady seems familiar."

When Shen Shiqi saw He Youan, his expression changed slightly.

He You'an heard Shen Shiqi's voice from inside, and wanted to avoid it, so as not to cause more trouble, but then heard Shen Shiqi's sudden change of attitude, couldn't help but poke his head a little, showing curiosity, but Mr. Cheng looked at him seriously .

Shen Shiqi's face darkened, and he suppressed his anger, and introduced to Mr. Cheng: "This is the well-known movie star Ms. He You'an. Mr. Cheng must have heard of her."

Mr. Cheng suddenly said: "So it's Miss He, I've known you for a long time, I've seen your movie, it's very exciting!"

Although most of his attention fell on He Youan, his eyes were not obscene, and he seemed to be a movie fan who simply loves movies and characters.

Shen Shiqi: "This is Mr. Cheng, my business partner."

He Youan smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your appreciation, I am very honored."

Mr. Cheng: "Miss He, don't be overly modest. When I was in Nanjing, I heard many people mention your name, and they all praised you for your good acting. Others at most act like what you act, but you are what you act. If there are operas in movies Ms. He must be well-deserved for the title of everyone."

These words are very beautiful, without losing politeness, unconventional, and not so shallow.

He Youan didn't know how many beautiful words he had heard, and he couldn't help being slightly moved when he heard the words, and bowed back to salute.

"Mr. Cheng's absurd praise, You'an deserves it."

Ling Shu wasn't full yet, seeing them chatting endlessly, he quickly took the opportunity to interrupt.

"Okay, everyone has known each other, Mr. Shen, there is no way to repay the favor of saving your life, and you don't need to repay it, just help us reimburse the meal money for tonight, what do you think?"

He was sure that the other party would not turn his face in front of Mr. Cheng, so he said with a smile.

Sure enough, Shen Shiqi had another smile that was uglier than crying.

"Of course, it's a trivial matter. You can just eat and put it on my account."

Ling Shu: "Also, Miss He You'an invited us to dinner tonight to ask for our help, you won't blame her, will you?"

Shen Shiqi: "...No, You An also has the freedom to make friends, let alone a good teacher and helpful friend like Mr. Yue."

Ling Shu ignored him deliberately ignoring himself, and said with satisfaction: "Then we will thank Mr. Shen first, you two continue to chat, and leave us alone."

Shen Shiqi was still in the mood to continue eating, and when he returned to the private room, he rubbed his arm that had been sprained by Ling Shu just now, trying to be polite to Mr. Cheng.

"I made you laugh."

Mr. Cheng: "Is this Miss He very familiar with you?"

Shen Shiqi: "She and I are close friends."

The so-called close friends are ambiguous, neither husband and wife nor friends.

Mr. Cheng knew it.

Ling Shu on the other end returned to the private room, but called the assistant.

"I'd like to order some takeaway food and drinks."

Yue Ding and Tang Xindao were as expected.

But cheating others is better than cheating yourself, not to mention that Shen Shiqi was the one who was cheated. The grievances between the two people on the left and right were so far, and they didn't have a mere meal, so he didn't say a word.

The clerk took out a small book: "Hey, sir, please tell me! If you want to order something, I'll get someone to prepare it!"

"Salted Duxian, Salted Duck, Osmanthus Pulled Cake, Candied Lotus Root, Glutinous Rice Eight Treasure Duck, Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup, Wine Trough Rice Balls, Crab Roe and Tofu Soup, Boiled Dried Shredded Dried Shredded Crab." Ling Shu kept reporting the names of the dishes in one breath. I don't know if I have glanced at the menu sign hanging on the first floor when I entered the door. "Let's just start with these for the time being. Three servings of each, pack them all up, and I'll take them away later. By the way, three more jars of Fenjiu. It's going to be old, so don't use new wine to fool you!"

Dude: ...you are not afraid of dying!
