Chapter 200 Uninvited Guest

When Lu Wenyun led Wang Kunyun into the inn gate, Tan Zong and the other six guards had been waiting in the lobby for a long time. Tan Zong didn't say anything to Wang Kunyun, so he asked him to go back to the room to wash, and then called Lu Wenyun to sit down.

Lu Wenyun followed Tan Zong's hand and sat down and said, "Sir, everything is done."

Tan Zong nodded, but his face was full of smiles: "You have all done big things and are safe in doing things. I feel relieved."

Tan Zong said this very naturally, and he could not tell at all that he had any other thoughts. However, after he said this, it made people feel comfortable when they heard it. At least Lu Wenyun was really comfortable from the bottom of his heart, and felt that he had not run away in vain.

After waiting for a while, Wang Kunyun probably wanted to change his clothes, so he hadn't come down yet. However, Han Xinjie pushed open the door and walked out. Han Wengan, who was following behind, looked respectful and could not tell at all about his domineering attitude yesterday.

Han Xinjie dressed up carefully today. A white strapless long skirt set off the figure of the third lady in the Han family. Tan Zong was a little dazed when he saw it. Although it was a bit deficient compared to Lianxiang, considering the age of this lady, if she could develop well, she would probably be less than Lianxiang.

After Han Xinjie walked downstairs, Tan Zong saw clearly that the young lady had no makeup on her face, but she was purely naked. However, she was very imaginative of her usual style, which made Tan Zong nod in her heart.

If Han Xinjie had put on heavy makeup on her, Tan Zong would feel that Han Xinjie was ruining her "naturally decorated" good face, and she would be afraid that she would look down on her. However, Tan Zong felt a little regretful in her heart. After all, a woman was willing to dress up specifically for herself, which was also an extremely rare honor for a man.

This entangled mentality made Tan Zong look a little strange when he looked at Han Xinjie. However, Tan Zong's concealment was very good, and it would not make people think that his eyes were vulgar.

Everyone was almost there, and Han Wengan, who did not sit with Han Xinjie, looked embarrassed on her face, but she was very concerned when she spoke. Obviously, it was not Han Xinjie who was ready at this time when she went out and went downstairs at this time, but calculated the time and opened the door and came out after seeing Wang Kunyun back.

First, the guests who were invited were almost all the time, and those who had not arrived could arrive immediately. It was just right to hold a banquet at this time; second, it also seemed that Han Xinjie and Tan Zong and others had similar status, and there was no need to come out early to greet people, which made people feel that her status was low.

Although it was a big round table of twelve people, there were eleven people sitting on the eight guards, including Tan Zong, Lian Xiang, and Han Xinjie, so the table was full. However, I don’t know what Chen Yang and others thought about it. Although they got on the seat, when Han Xinjie came over, they all squeezed aside, revealing a gap for Tan Zong.

At this time, there were two empty seats on the table, one was on Tan Zong's hand and Lian Xiang's hand. If he had changed to a softer face, he wouldn't dare to sit down at all. However, Han Xinjie looked very open and sat directly at Tan Zong's head, not far from Tan Zong's position. This made Tan Zong couldn't help but look up at the third lady of the Han family. He originally thought Han Xinjie would choose the position next to Lian Xiang, but he didn't expect that he would actually sit next to him.

When Han Xinjie sat down, the eleven people seemed to be divided into bilateral negotiations: on one side of the eight guards, Tan Zong brought Lianxiang and Han Xinjie on the other side. Several guards were all tactful people. When they saw Han Xinjie chose opposite Tan Zong, they immediately used a color to each other.

Originally, they could not serve the table as their identities, after all, there was a difference between the top and the bottom. Chen Yang's words were just a joke and didn't take them seriously. But Tan Zong agreed and spoke solemnly, taking the initiative to ask them to serve the table. Even if they felt embarrassed, they had to sit down. Therefore, when they saw Han Xinjie's sitting method, they all became a little at a loss. I wonder what this third lady from the Han family meant to invite Tan Zong this time.

Han Xinjie looked calm and did not say a few words to the people present. She directly ordered: "Manager Han, let the kitchen start the meal. These guards have been tired for a day and are afraid that they will be hungry. This time we are here to thank all the guards for saving their lives yesterday. We cannot repay the kindness, but they have hungered their benefactors."

Tan Zong immediately followed and joked, "Ms. Han is more considerate than me. My elder brothers escorted me all the way, sleeping in the open and there was no time to rest. Yesterday, he fought with the Shanyue Manzi for my willfulness, but everyone was injured. I had already thought about paying the elder brothers well, but Miss Han San walked in front of me, which made me feel unrighteous."

When Tan Zong said this, eight guards dared not. However, just like Lu Wenyun before, whether Tan Zong's words were from their original intentions or whether they had other intentions, at least they sounded comfortable and made people feel that they had obtained this favor, at least they did not have a vain time.

But Han Wen was secretly anxious at this time.

There was no problem with Han Xinjie's words as the opening remarks. After all, there were eight guards sitting on the table, so you could not put these eight people aside as soon as you were on the table and talked to Tan Zong. If Han Xinjie really did this, he would probably have the heart to hit the wall - this is too ignorant! But Han Xinjie explained before going out. As for her, Han Wengan only needs to run errands under the table and greet people. So Han Wengan, who was pinched by Han Xinjie, could only do it on the side.

Fortunately, Han Xinjie said something very sensible, and she made this matter more solid, which made Han Wengan feel relieved. But he was also wondering when he, the third lady who never left the house, was so smart. You must know that this kind of ability to deal with people cannot be learned by reading books. Even Han Wengan followed the old manager for several years and only learned 50% or 60%.

But before Han Wengan could go to the kitchen to urge the table, he felt it difficult again.

Tan Zong's words seemed to follow what Han Xinjie said just now, and even lowered his identity and called out to several guards. But in Han Wentan, Tan Zong deliberately pulled the topic away and did not give Han Xinjie a chance to speak. If Han Xinjie followed the words, the topic would probably be further and further. In the end, I am afraid that it would be even more and more difficult to tell the whole world!

He turned his head and took a look, and saw that his lady was still as leisurely as water, Han Wengan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After shouting for a meal in the kitchen, several waiters led a few servants in the backyard to start serving the dishes.

The Han family is a real big family, so naturally they will not be short of money. They also paid for it to borrow a master from a big restaurant in Wuxi City, so the dishes on this table were very beautiful, full of color, fragrance and flavor. If it weren't for thinking that he was a guest, Tan Zong would have been putting down chopsticks long ago.

However, Lianxiang on the side reported the name of the dish to Tan Zong with interest, and those with allusions even told a small story to Tan Zong in a low voice, which seemed very familiar. However, Lianxiang, as a famous courtesan in Nanjing Prefecture, naturally walked through everywhere, and it was not a strange thing to be able to recognize these dishes. However, Tan Zong listened to Lianxiang telling the allusion in her unique soft voice, and smelling the fragrance from her nose, and feeling very relieved.

When the waiters brought all the four meat, four vegetables, and four soups with them, the servants immediately brought a few pots of rice wine that Tan Zong specially asked the waiter to come to the rice wine that he made outside. The rice wine was covered with frangipani and sprinkled with wolfberry, which made people's appetites bloom. At this time, it was very inappropriate to bring the wine glass again, so they all took rice bowls. When the rice wine was poured out in one bowl, the wine smelled so much that Chen Yang and other guards couldn't help but pick it up and took a sip.

"It's great!" Wang Kunyun was the one who was not good at doing the job. He felt comfortable. He didn't care about Tan Zong in front of him and spoke directly.

Many people like to drink rice wine even in later generations. Especially in winter, sitting in a small shop outside, it was even more pleasant to order a pot of rice with eggs and wolfberry. Chen Yang and the others were injured and could not drink strong alcohol, so they could only drink this one.

But what surprised Tan Zong was that Han Xinjie actually asked the inn servant to pour her a bowl - it was not a cup for wine, but a bowl like Tan Zong and the others! Ming Xin, who was peeking through the crack of the door, almost ran downstairs without any rush, but she knew that her lady had never drunk any wine because she was being strictly controlled at home.

At this time, Tan Zong had to look at Han Xinjie in the face: "Miss Han is so sincere."

When the two met for the first time, the woman was still covered with a veil, which was obviously extremely strict. But at this time, not only did she take off the veil, but she also poured herself with wine, which made Tan Zong sigh. Tan Zong knew in his heart that Han Xinjie was doing this to express his determination: this time, Han Xinjie would definitely not let Tan Zong go so easily, and she must achieve a certain goal.

Han Xinjie seemed to be unable to understand Tan Zong's words. Before Tan Zong decided to put chopsticks on which bowl of dishes to first, she stood up and took the bowl up. When Tan Zong and a few guards saw him, they could not sit still, so they had to stand up as well.

Lianxiang looked at Han Xinjie with interest. She wanted to see what amazing performance this Miss Han San, who is famous for her well-behaved and skilled in Nanjing City, can do here today.
