Chapter 222 The Girl from the Jian Family

It has to be said that Shen Yong is quite sensitive to gossips.

But how could Su Qinchao tell the truth?

He just exchanged a look with Huang Yanchu, who knew everything beside him.

Then he laughed it off, seemingly avoiding the issue and changed the topic to the hottest news in Chang'an recently.

The marriage between the girl from Minister Jian's family and the eldest son of the Yan family.

Then he urged Shen Yong to order food and diverted his attention from two aspects.

Although Wu Sanlang and his affairs were considered elegant in that era, they could not really be discussed openly.

And if I tell Shen Yong, what's the difference between that and telling everyone in Chang'an?

Su Qinchao himself didn't care, but no matter how rich Wu Sanlang was, he was just a merchant.

The saying "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans" is not just for fun. He will not, and does not want to, let Wu Sanlang become the topic of conversation for others after dinner.

"Let me see. Let's order another squirrel mandarin fish. What would you like to eat, Brother Huang?" Shen Yong flipped through the menu and told the waiter the two dishes he wanted to order.

Then he handed it to Huang Yanchu who was sitting on the other side of him.

Then he turned around and continued talking to Su Qinchao about the Jian family.

"You don't know how powerful the girl from the Jian family is. I thought that after what happened to Uncle Su, she would..."

"Just have the Jade Soup and the Mountain Spiny Dragon Buds." Huang Yanchu casually ordered two light dishes and asked the waiter to leave.

Then he tilted his head and listened to them talking as usual.

Occasionally interject.

"With Miss Jian's personality and talent, Young Master Yan is not worthy of her." After listening to the gossip shared by Shen Yong, Su Qinchao had other thoughts in his mind.

The Jian family has many daughters, and Lord Jian only wants to marry his daughters off to wealthy families to pave the way for his youngest son. Even if a girl from the Jian family is ambitious, she cannot disobey her elders.

You can only follow the advice of your elders and get married, otherwise you would be a good material to be a female official.

In front of her is her dirty ex-fiancé, the young uncle of the Su family, and behind her is Master Yan, who is famous for his weak temper.

Her parents are still lying on her and sucking her blood, what a...

"How can the Yan family be so bad? Lord Yan is at least a third-rank official in charge of astronomy and is always by your Majesty's side. Isn't he better than the Jian family?

Besides, Young Master Yan has a weak personality, which is convenient for Miss Jian to show her talents, isn't it? " Shen Yong didn't feel that he was unworthy.

In his opinion, they were a perfect match.

"How do you know he has a weak temper? Isn't it because Madam Yan is so strong? After getting married, does he listen to Madam Yan or Miss Jian?"

"Of course..." Shen Yong originally wanted to say directly that he would listen to the young lady from the Jian family.

But when he thought about his behavior when he was married, he felt embarrassed to continue talking about it.

At that time, it was because he listened to his mother in everything that he and his wife had such a quarrel and treated each other with respect.

Marriage is indeed a difficult matter to discuss.

They were chatting nonsense here, and the two protagonists who were having a meal in the compartment were listening to them. They were holding the chopsticks in their hands, not knowing whether to put them down or not.

Especially Young Master Yan, who had a weak temper to begin with, after hearing these words and looking at Miss Jian's half-smile, he became a little restless.

Her pretty and elegant face was full of confusion and embarrassment.

He actually didn't like strong women like the girl from the Jian family.

Although he himself has a weak personality, he also wants to find a delicate and eloquent flower.

Just like the cousin of the Chu family, the two of them have similar personalities and hobbies, wouldn't it be wonderful to spend their lives together.

Unfortunately, his mother thought that he was weak in character and should be paired with a strong woman. She insisted on marrying him to the girl from the Jian family, and he had no choice.

It was his mother who insisted that he go out with the girl from the Jian family today, that’s why he’s here and hears what others say about him…

"Miss Jian." Young Master Yan pondered for a while before he mustered up the courage to look across at the beautiful face that had remained expressionless from beginning to end, and spoke in a low voice.

"I…"

"Master Yan, walls have ears. If you have anything to say, please say it in private." The girl from the Jian family put down her chopsticks.

She slowly took the handkerchief from her personal maid and pursed her peach-like lips.

"Sorry." Young Master Yan reacted immediately and apologized with a guilty look on his face. He was inconsiderate.

"Nothing." The girl from the Jian family curled her lips slightly and showed a bit of a smile.

This man was weaker than she thought, but he was also very polite.

At least he was better than her ex-fiancé who never took her seriously and was arrogant and domineering every time they met.

So be it, she thought, as long as one has good character, it would not be bad to live life like this.

Looking at the three people who were chatting on the other side, they all stopped talking.

Naturally, they also heard the conversation next door and knew who was next door.

It was so funny. This was the first time I gossiped about someone behind their back and the person involved heard it.

Fortunately, they didn't call each other by their full names when they were chatting, so it was okay.

The three of them didn't say anything after that, nor did they care when the person next to them left. They just waited for the waiter to start serving the dishes before they picked up their chopsticks and concentrated on enjoying their food.

The first thing served was Eight Treasure Soup, which was different from the previous meal with Take Saburo.

Each person only had a small cup, about half the size of a palm, and it looked like they could only drink five or six sips.

However, underneath the crystal clear surface, there is a wide variety of ingredients, delicately laid out in a thick layer.

Although I can't tell what it is, the soup is fragrant and non-greasy, and the smell makes people salivate.

Then there are the Baoshan Thorn Dragon Buds and Cui Yu Soup.

Of these two dishes, the former is a kind of green leafy vegetable that is a delicacy from Changbai Mountain and is unique to Yaoyue Tower in the whole Chang'an.

The taste is complex, spicy with a slight bitterness at first, followed by sweetness and tenderness.

I like it very much. It focuses on health and so on, so many people ordered it.

The latter is the staple food, made from green glutinous rice, which is second only to the tribute. It is carefully boiled and then chilled to become the Cui Yu Soup that can relieve summer heat.

The taste is beyond words, the rice grains are distinct green, soft and smooth, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth...

"How many more dishes are there?" Shen Yong scooped half a spoonful of Cui Yu Tang and put it into his mouth with a chopstick of dragon sprouts.

"I don't know, I didn't order it." Su Qinchao drank the eight-treasure soup in his bowl.

"I only ordered the Baoshan Cilongya and Cuiyu Soup." Huang Yanchu also raised his head.

"Then there are only squirrel mandarin fish and lion head fish left." Shen Yong thought about it for a while.

As he was speaking, the waiter came in with two servants serving dishes.

When the bamboo cover is opened, the first dish served is squirrel mandarin fish with excellent presentation, appearance, color and aroma.

Next comes a plate of round, juicy and fragrant lion's head.

"Ugh~" But before the waiter brought the dishes to the table, Huang Yanchu, who was fine just now, started to dry heave with his hands covering his mouth.

While vomiting, he waved his hands frantically, signaling the waiter to take the dishes away quickly.

“If you don’t know, you might think Sister Huang is pregnant. She’s afraid of greasy food and fish.” Upon seeing this, Shen Yong stood up and pushed open all the windows around him.

"Maybe it's because the princess is pregnant and he is too nervous." Su Qinchao also quickly poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.

He just thought of this now, but it is actually not uncommon in today's world with well-developed Internet.
