The gentle and elegant silhouette, the corners of her mouth with a shallow smile, could not see any coldness or alienation from him, as if there was no barrier or pressure to get along with him, and it was different from the people she had met so far.

Realizing that Chen Biyue was far behind, Meng Shu couldn't help but turn around and call her, "Little cousin, what are you looking at?"

Only half of the people in the lobby were sitting, and it seemed a little empty. Meng Shu's voice was loud and particularly loud, attracting the attention of the guests in the lobby. The group of people who went upstairs had already reached the stairs and turned in, and soon disappeared.

"Nothing." Chen Biyue calmed down her thoughts, took a few steps, and reached Meng Shu's side.

The guy was asking, "Are you going to have a meal downstairs or upstairs?"

"upstairs!"

"downstairs."

Two completely different answers, one with a loud voice and the other with a faint voice.

Meng Shu stared at Chen Biyue, and she didn't expect that she would want to eat downstairs, so she lowered her voice, not arguing, but a persuasion.

"My cousin, there are so many people downstairs, it is inconvenient to speak, and it is terrifying. It is better to eat in a private room upstairs and you don't have to worry about the rules of eating for ladies at all."

"Did my cousin care about following the rules of ladies from a family?"

Meng Shu choked and thought about it. She seemed to be right, so she nodded, then turned to ask the guy, "Do you have a private room upstairs?"

Chen Biyue: "..."

The guy ran to the counter for a few steps and flipped through the registered books, then ran back, "Miss, so lucky, there's only a private room left on the upper floor."

Meng Shu waved her hand generously, "Then take us up."

When they went upstairs, Meng Shu leaned into her ear and said softly: "Little cousin, you are really confused just now. Our identities are nothing compared to others. We cannot show up casually outside. We have no scruples, just because we are afraid of being recognized by acquaintances and suffering. They not only love to gossip behind people's backs, but also dare to point in front of others. It's very annoying. I just saw the people sitting in the lobby. There are a few of them all mixed with things. I know this better than you. I can tell that we can eat more easily in the private room."

Chen Biyue lowered her eyes and didn't say much, but just responded lightly. With their identities, they were no better than ordinary girls, and it was indeed difficult to eat in the lobby. This was also because she said it downstairs at the beginning, but was easily convinced to go to the private room.

Meng Shu was already devoted to food. Seeing that she agreed, she didn't pay much attention to her absent-minded look.

After entering the private room, Meng Shu was so proud that the clerk would bring all the best dishes in the store. The clerk was so happy that he was about to run out of the door, but was stopped by Chen Biyue.

"Two people, I can't finish three or four dishes, don't waste it." She looked at the guy, "Your store's signature dishes will be served immediately. Don't forget the other dishes from Liyuan Country. If you serve them well, you won't be less rewarded."

The guy's bitter face stretched out. Seeing that Chen Biyue kept pressing Meng Shu and refused to speak, he knew in his heart who was the one who could make the decision, so he went out happily.

Generally speaking, the rewards received from customers are often much more than the monthly money received from the boss. These two girls are pretty and have a decent conversation. At first glance, they are very rich when they come out of a wealthy family.

"Little cousin, I brought enough money to pay, and you let him go on four dishes. How can I eat this?" Meng Shu was particularly dissatisfied. She wanted to come out and eat something special, so how could she not have a good time?

"If you ask the guy to go there casually, he might make all the dishes that can be cooked in the entire restaurant, and then slaughter you hard, suffer more losses, be thrifty, and be careful in calculating. Mr. Yu should have taught all these things, right?" Seeing that Meng Shu was still depressed and looked dissatisfied, she paused, "If my cousin still feels hungry later, just order it."

Meng Shu glanced at her, then slowly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled happily. Chen Biyue shook her head helplessly. Her cousin is really easy to coax.

"The most important thing is that we don't know how the food here is cooked or not, the loss will be even worse. How can the daughter of the Meng family easily take advantage of it? My cousin went to the ready-to-wear shop to buy clothes, and he should also hate buying clothes with inferior fabrics the most, right?"

Chen Biyue patiently added that Meng Shu nodded, and the little bit of dissatisfaction that she had just existed was completely gone, and she actually felt that what her cousin said was extremely reasonable.

Soon, all the five dishes were served. Judging from the appearance alone, the first four dishes were of good quality and fresh color.

The shop clerk came with the servant who delivered the food. Whenever a dish was served, he would clamor for a dish name.

"The green bamboos give off the spring."

"Yam to fish."

"Buddha's Hand Guanyin Lotus."

“Duck flower soup cake.”

"Sheep's two foods."

Meng Shu looked curiously and pointed at the last dish that came up, "What is this? Yang Ershi? This name is really weird and looks very strange."

On one side are three golden and crispy cakes, and on the other side are three black and filled with lungs, cut obliquely into slices, filling the entire disc.

"Girl, this is the dish that our Liji Building gives you. Here are three pieces of hot lamb cakes, which are made of fresh mutton mixed with sesame seeds. Here are called lungs. Take a piece of sheep lungs, pour walnuts, almonds, pine nuts and other ground powder, and steam them in a basket. These two are very famous delicacies in Liyuan."

"Solved sheep cake and filling the lungs." Meng Shu chewed these two names, "These two names are strange enough. You have to put them together. What is the name of Sheep Ershi? It's so weird."

The shop clerk laughed and said, "The girl doesn't understand it now. She just wants to give a weird name so that people can remember it."

"So there is such a thing." Meng Shu felt very interesting, and then pulled the shop assistant and asked several questions. The shop assistant was also talking too much. He naturally talked about a beautiful girl like Meng Shu. If Chen Biyue hadn't stopped him in time, he would not have been able to eat this meal for several hours.

After the shopkeeper left, the two of them started to put down their chopsticks. The dish looked very good, but it tasted average. After eating for a while, Meng Shu's chopsticks reached towards Yang Ershi.

Chen Biyue was not very interested in that dish, so she drank a bowl of duck soup with noodles, ate a few more bites of the dish, then put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'll go and take it off, and I'll be back in a while."

"Go early and come back early, otherwise I will eat all the hot sheep cakes." Meng Shu bit the crispy sheep cake and ate it happily. I have to say that the other four dishes taste average, but this free sheep dish was very delicious. The sheep cake was fresh but not greasy, and the crust was crispy and had a great taste. I wish I could swallow it with my tongue.

The door panels and wall panels of this restaurant seem to be very thin. When I was in the room just now, I could hear the conversation coming from the next room. It was not very clear and it came vaguely through the wall panels. But it was this blur that made people feel even more uncomfortable, like a murmur in my ears.

When I reached the stairs, I saw the shop clerk. I asked him about the general location of the toilet and went downstairs by myself. Fortunately, this Liji Building is not big, and the backyard is not big, so I found it soon.

I drank too much tea before the meal, and my stomach was so swollen that I felt uncomfortable. After going to the toilet, I finally relieved my internal urgency and felt very happy. When I was about to go back, I heard a sound of stir-frying in the pan. She looked in the sound and saw a strong figure standing in front of the stove inside through the open door.

He held his body up and took a small bowl and poured oil. The oil sprinkled in the hot pan made a continuous sizzling sound. When he passed the stove, there were still people inside, lifting the pot, washing vegetables, cutting meat, and waiting for two or three servants outside the door. As soon as he saw a dish, he immediately went in to serve the dishes.

That person should be the chef invited by Li Yuan Kingdom.

Not very interested, I glanced at it and left.

When she returned to the stairs and passed the corridor, she suddenly stopped, her ears slightly, her eyes slightly thoughtful. After a moment, she took a few steps back and stood between the wall panels separated by this room and the next room.

There were people in both rooms, and the sounds coming from were blurry, even mixed together. She looked serious and listened quite carefully.

"I didn't expect that King Huai would let so many beautiful concubines in the mansion not favor him, so he could get the slap?"

"We can know which bite is good for King Huai, but we are really not polite to eat King Huai's disciple."

"What else do you need to be polite to the King of Yue? The King of Yue is a person who is not powerful and has a dull performance and has no powerful family to accompany him. He can only rely on King Huai to give him a clear path. Fortunately, he has not married yet. Otherwise, even if King Huai wants his beautiful lady to be a side room, he will have to be sent to him."

"I heard that Xu Ze was originally from King Yue who wanted to send it to the Fourth Department of the Ministry of Rites, so he was in the relationship with King Yue. Looking at King Huai's face, he could only be a member of the official and wait for him. Before he could send it in, he would first send it to King Huai's bed."

"Yes, the imperial examination is about to begin. As the Ministry of Rites is mainly responsible for the scientific examination, who doesn't want to stuff people in it? On weekdays, King Yue is also turned a blind eye to him. Why did he intercept the person this time?"

"According to your opinion, did King Huai do it on purpose? It is not right to say this. If such a thing happens, King Yue's plan will be lost, but King Huai can't get any benefits. If he has a few male sex behind his back, he will just pretend that he doesn't know. He will roll onto the bed with someone while we are entertaining famous scholars, and he will not be poked to death by others."

"Your own house has not yet been resolved, so you have time to take care of His Highness Huai's family affairs."

"It's just a woman. What's the bad temper? What's the point of being afraid of? Zhu Zhao, you're not kind enough. When you get married, don't catch a fire in the backyard, otherwise we'll have to laugh at you to death."

Zhu Zhao smiled faintly, "You are not in a hurry to get married, just because you are afraid that you will be overstated, be careful of the walls."

The people inside burst into laughter, "Why are you so timid when you look like a brave person..."

Chen Biyue stood outside and listened quietly, suddenly raised a erratic smile and walked away. She no longer had the interest in listening to the words behind.

When she came up with advice on King Huai, Shao Yan took action. It seemed that he did it perfectly, almost without any leakage, and had a good result.

When King Huai's concubine was not welcomed into the palace, she once had a mutual love relationship with Xu Ze. Although her family background was not the same as Xu Ze, the two families lived close to each other and had a relationship since they were playing with each other. Just when they were about to tell their family members, King Huai's orders to marry the concubine, and such a couple of mandarin ducks were separated.

Xu Zehui became the visitor of King Yue, just to go a step further from the woman she loved deeply, so she asked Shao Yan to take the visitor to discuss with King Huai and deliberately arrange for the two to meet. Because of this private meeting, the two people who were already hidden and disliked immediately rekindled their old love in the room. Of course, there were also incense with added ingredients to cheer them up.

At this time, he led King Huai over and took away his concubine. The King of Yue realized that his disciples were missing in Prince Huai's mansion, so he would definitely go to search and witness the naked man's bedding.

Not only King Yue and his disciples, but also other court officials. Some of those court officials were not King Huai. When this kind of thing was broken by them, it also means that this thing that could become a stain on King Huai's life could not be hidden.

King Yue lost people and King Huai lost reputation. Once the impeachment was submitted, they would definitely not be able to think about stuffing people into the Ministry of Rites, but should consider how to deal with the anger from the emperor next.

Without those who try their best to get into the Ministry of Rites, the imperial examinations this time should not be so chaotic. I just hope they can be more fair.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Meng Shu staring at the hot sheep cake in the disc with a frown, and her face revealed a strong feeling of wanting to eat it.

She walked to the table and sat down, sighed, "If my cousin likes it, I will eat it. I don't like Li Yuan's food very much."

"Really? You are not lying to others? It's really not because I don't eat because I am considerate of my cousin?" Meng Shu looked at her with anticipation.

"Yes, I haven't lie to you, so I can eat it with confidence. If I still want it, I can spend at most some money and let the guy send another one."

Meng Shu was satisfied and wanted to rush over to hug Chen Biyue. The fingers on both hands were shiny. Chen Biyue frowned her eyebrows disgustedly and suddenly dodged. The movement of standing up and dodging was very coherent and smooth, as fast as a gust of wind.

"Although many people don't like food from Liyuan and think that the mutton smells too strong, I like it very much. My little cousin, let's go to Liyuan one day to have a trip."

Chen Biyue glanced at her, and her eyes were bright, as if they were glowing, and she really wanted to go.

"One day, one day, I will talk about it. The journey from Daning to Liyuan is long, and my body is afraid that I will not be able to bear it."

Meng Shu bit the cake and browsed, "Yes, then wait until you have good health, let's talk about this."

When we left Liji Building, we met a group of people who were also leaving at the stairs. While walking, they were still talking and laughing at each other. They all looked like they were extremely young men, and naturally they were mixed with several older middle-aged men.

Chen Biyue completely ignored them, as if she was looking like a stranger. Meng Shu glanced at Zhu Zhao twice. After all, among those people, only his figure and appearance were outstanding.

They suddenly heard their low voices behind them.

"Is the one in front Meng Shu, the girl from the Meng family?"

"It seems to be her. Is the woman next to her a girl from the Jiang family?"

"I have never seen the second woman who is so beautiful in Yong'an. How could it be that Jiang Dong? I heard that Jiang Dong is very arrogant and domineering, so how could he be such a delicate and charming girl?"

"She is indeed not Jiang Dong. I have met Jiang Dong. I heard that Meng Shu often runs to the Shen family recently. Could she be..."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other. After guessing, the girl's identity was about to emerge.

As soon as Chen Biyue and Meng Shu left the restaurant, they saw a middle-aged man coming towards him.

"Meng Shu!" The man shouted angrily, Meng Shu's expression changed, she hurriedly hid behind Chen Biyue, and called her father in a low voice.
