September is full of flowers

After several people entered the city, Qing Ning complained that she was hungry and went to a restaurant first, saying that she would have dinner with Shen Man and Wu Niannian when they came back from work.

Wu Niannian took a look at the restaurant's black banner with a gold border, and pulled Shen Man away without saying a word.Shen Man asked her why her face suddenly changed, and Wu Niannian muttered in a low voice, "Your friend is really amazing. First, you sold 5000 taels of gold leaves, and then you went to Guan Chu, a place in the capital where only dignitaries dare to enter." Lou', with her status, I'm just a commoner, so I can't climb high."

Shen Man smiled and said, "She's not that kind of person."

Wu Niannian seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and let go of Shen Man's hand, taking a step away from her.

"Your friend is such a precious person, you must not be simple. Tell me, what is your identity?"

Shen Man laughed awkwardly, thinking about it, only to blame that person for being too ignorant of the severity of the attack, obviously letting himself conceal his relationship with the Taige to participate in the big exam, but suddenly intervening in such a high-profile way, isn't it called himself Is it difficult?

"Brother and sister," a childish voice interrupted their conversation, only to see a thin shadow walking towards them, then stretched out his small hand to grab Wu Niannian's clothes, and looked at Wu Niannian with tears in his eyes. She said pitifully, "Have you found the letter of recommendation?"

Looking at her cute little face, Shen Man almost felt his heart soften.He bent down and touched her head, smiled and took out the sealed recommendation letter from his arms, and said gently, "Look, what is this?!"

The little girl's face blossomed with joy, she jumped to get the letter of recommendation, held it tightly in her hand, then bent her eyes and showed her little canine teeth, and said sweetly, "Thank you brother!"

"Little white-eyed wolf." Wu Niannian snorted beside him.

The little girl walked over and gently took Wu Niannian's hand, shaking it a few times, "Thank you, pretty sister, too."

These words are gentle and soft, and Wu Niannian tidies up obediently.She also bent down and couldn't help but rubbed the little girl's cheeks, and said with a smile, "It's an obedient white-eyed wolf!"

The little girl opened the envelope in front of the two of them, and when she saw that it was empty, she raised her head and frowned.

Shen Man hurriedly said, "That little thief wanted to get rid of his name to make more money, but we met him and picked up a ready-made bargain. If you want to sell more money, you might as well send this letter of recommendation If the letter is sold again, it will definitely be more than what you got before!"

The little girl didn't doubt that he was there, and after thanking him a few more times, she ran away bouncing around.

Wu Niannian looked at her back, and joked with the corners of her mouth, "She took it happily, but she didn't know how hard it was for you and me, and she didn't know that the letter of recommendation she held in her hand was priceless. Say, we should Shouldn't I chase after her and come back with her?"

Shen Man didn't answer, but looked at the sky, and suggested, "Miss Nian Nian, you might as well go with me to find Miss Qing Ning, she is a wealthy landowner, so you don't need to be polite to her if you have something good."

Wu Niannian said briskly, "Okay."

After entering the Guan Chu Tower, Shen Man ignored the second brother who was running the hall, and went directly to the box facing the window at the innermost part of the second floor.Sure enough, sitting inside, with dishes full of dishes in front of him, and a puff of steam above his head, who else could it be if it wasn't the Qing Ningmen Supervisor?

"Ah, you guys are here?" Lime sucked on a piece of very strong noodles with a "sparse" sound, and chewed there with puffed cheeks.

Shen Man sat down next to her, with an uncertain expression.From time to time, he sneaks peeks at Qing Ning and observes her words and deeds.

"How long have you been eating?" Shen Man looked at the empty plates piled up like a hill in her hand, and his confusion became more and more serious.As far as she knew, the one in Taige didn't eat much and was very picky.The one in front of me...

"Since you're here, you don't have to be polite, eat it while it's hot." Qing Ning said as she put a piece of bullfrog meat into the heavy bowl, and stuffed a few bites into her own mouth.

Shen Man lowered his head and ate while thinking, could it be that what he thought before was wrong?still--

She glanced at Qing Ning from the corner of her eye, and saw her long eyelashes blinking, her fair face was flushed red by the rising steam.

Wu Niannian held a piece of her belly on her cheek and said, "Since everyone is in the way of yin and yang, and seeing that Qing Ning girl is a few years older than us, and she happens to be eating hot pot right now, I hope Qing Ning girl can guide us .”

Lime said vaguely and earnestly, "Can you wait until I finish this bite?"

Shen Man seemed to have received the displeasure in Qing Ning's tone, and subconsciously wanted to escape from the battlefield.But the private room is small, where is there room for escape?Unless she doesn't want to eat this meal.But if she wants to keep these two here, she is really worried.

After hearing this, Wu Niannian dumped several pieces of hair belly into the pot one after another, smiled playfully, her eyes sparkling, "As the saying goes, 'seven hair belly, three disasters', I just got a few hair belly, if the hair belly that floats up If it is less than three, it means that she and I will fail in the Yin-Yang Dao exam this time."

Qing Ning stared, and said, "Where did this nonsense come from, why haven't I heard of it." Turning her head to ask Shen Man, she tried her best to be serious, "Could it be that you have to go home with a belly?"

With a chopstick in her mouth, Wu Niannian raised her chin towards Shen Man, "You put those few balls down too, if three balls float up within three beeps, it will be a disaster."

Shen Man only felt his temples twitching, "Miss Nian Nian, I've never heard of using hot pot to calculate. It's a novelty. How about this? Our names must be reported. As for using hot pot to calculate Well, why don't you change it to something else, what do you think?"

Wu Niannian smiled shamelessly, nodded and said, "Then it will be more useful."

"What?" Shen Man trembled all over.

"Huh?" Qing Ning raised her head and swallowed hard, staring at the treacherous Wu Niannian with fluttering eyes.

"Marriage test."

Shen Man's eyes dodged a little, when he mentioned the word "marriage", what he thought of was not other people, but the cold face when he first met.How long has it been since I saw you?Her gaze gradually focused on Qing Ning's face, Qing Ning felt the gaze from here, blinked and looked at herself.

But different from the ones seen in Kongtong Temple, the eyes are blank and innocent, without a little bit of guarding or other emotions.

Not her?

Shen Man was confused.

"What are you in a daze for?" Wu Niannian stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Shen Manfa's straight eyes. When she realized that she was staring at Qing Ning, she sat up straight, resting her cheek with one hand, and looked at the two of them. Sometimes smile ambiguously. "I see, this is untestable again."

"Pa——" Qing Ning put down her chopsticks heavily, but she still held a wooden spoon in her left hand, and said seriously, "The calculation of marriage is only the ability of onmyojis registered in Taige. In order to avoid bad events caused by folk miscalculation, there are This regulation. If you want to calculate here privately, you have violated the iron law of the Dafeng Dynasty. According to the law, you should—— oh!"

Wu Niannian stuffed a cornbread into Qing Ning's mouth with one hand, and blocked her mouth.Qing Ning reacted immediately and counterattacked with a wooden spoon, but Wu Niannian blocked it with a plate.

Qing Ning was furious, and as soon as she slapped the table and rolled up her sleeves, she was about to do a big job, but she heard Wu Niannian chanting quickly, "Xiaoer, give me another pound of fresh thick-cut beef tongue, three taels of flowers hidden in the snow, Another plate of fresh tender bamboo shoots!"

The waiter outside responded immediately, "Alright, I'll be right there!"

Wu Niannian glanced at Qing Ning who was standing up, and gouged her with a gentle eye knife, and said numbly, "These things are the best with hot pot, Miss Qing Ning, don't you want to try it?"

Qing Ning changed her face faster than turning a book, and immediately said kindly, "Since you ordered, you can't waste it. After all, I didn't pay..." She paused, took a quick look at Shen Man, and then changed her words, "After all, I I don’t need to be responsible to you, just pretend I didn’t hear it.”

After speaking, it was like becoming an Arhat in the Kongtong Temple, sitting down.

Shen Man patted his forehead, staring at the table lonely, his heart clear.

she left.

"In that case," Wu Niannian stared at Shen Man for a moment, then said, "Then let's start."

Guan Chulou's mistress knew that this box was always filled with valuables, but the girl who came this evening made him feel so depressed that he couldn't hold his head up.Although the girl looked sweet and seemed to be easy to talk to, her eyes were so cold that it was unreasonable.Since coming in, she has hardly said a word to herself.

Xiao Er felt that it would be difficult to see such a person in this life, but when he re-entered that box with anxiety for the second time, the girl who looked exactly the same jumped towards him excitedly, mouthing He asked a lot of restaurant dishes very neatly, and finally ordered a golden pot.

I kept serving dishes, and the girl would not refuse anyone who came, and she ate a mountain of dishes silently by herself.While Xiao Er was silently worrying about whether she would spoil her stomach, two customers, a man and a woman, happened to come.Looking at their clothes, Xiao Er couldn't help frowning, thinking how could the guests in the box have such friends?Later, he saw a piece of jade on the waist of one of them, which was obvious at a glance.

Xiaoer left with lingering fears, because the lady in the back kitchen once told him that Kyoto is no better than other places, and the dignitaries in Kyoto often come to the streets in disguise to experience the people's sentiments.For example, Princess Decheng, who was most favored by the emperor in the Dafeng Dynasty, often came to Guanchu Tower for dinner and tea in disguise as a man.
