Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Phoenix Tower, located on the busiest Dongmen Street, is magnificent on the outside and extremely elegant on the inside, creating a unique world.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Farewell My Concubine, Dongpo Pork, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs, Spicy Pig's Pig's Pig's Tail, Oolong Spitball, and Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix are all the signature dishes of Fenghuang Tower.

The one in charge of serving the dishes is a beautiful girl in a uniform gauze skirt, swaying gracefully, like a beautiful landscape.

"This Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix is ​​our family's signature dish. The Queen Mother in the palace praised it after eating it."

Ning Zhiwei couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was quite novel to have a beautiful girl working as a waitress. No wonder the business was so good.

"you sure?"

The girl puffed out her chest proudly, her eyes full of pride, "Of course, my aunt is the Imperial Concubine."

"On the Queen Mother's birthday, my eldest daughter presented a hundred birds to the Queen Mother and asked her to release them. The birds flew up and surrounded the Queen Mother, which was a very spectacular scene. I made this dish of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" based on this scene. The Queen Mother was very pleased and rewarded my eldest daughter with a jade ruyi."

Ning Zhiwei suddenly realized that it was Lin Jingshu, who was quite good at flattering and currying favor.

"So it's the property of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Did these dishes come from the mansion?"

Speaking of this, the girl immediately perked up.

"Yes, these are all the dishes that my eldest daughter came up with on her own and presented to my grandmother as a token of filial piety, just to get the old lady to eat more. The old lady thought that such good dishes should be shared with everyone, so she opened such a store, which can also be regarded as..."

She became more and more excited as she spoke, her pride evident in her words, "We are having fun together with the people."

Ning Zhiwei was speechless. There is nothing shameful in making money by doing business, but he acted so high-handedly and wanted to have fun with the people. He took himself too seriously.

She waved the waiter away and looked at the table full of exquisite dishes, which cost a hundred taels of silver.

"Her family is like this. They want it all. They want both money and a good reputation."

The plating is very delicate, shaped like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, with bright colors that are eye-catching.

"Eat." Rong Jing picked up a chicken wing with a serving chopstick and put it on her plate. Ning Zhiwei thanked him and started eating.

The chicken is tender and melts in your mouth, with a rich and flavorful texture.

"not bad. "

Although she was in mourning, the Ning family had never banned meat. Too many members of the Ning family had died in battles, too many to count and too little to ban.

"Cooked ham and pigeon eggs are also good. Try them."

Ning Zhiwei ate the rice with big mouthfuls of relish, his little face puffy and he looked as cute as a little squirrel.

Rong Jing couldn't help but stare in amazement. It was the first time he saw a girl eating so naturally and generously without any affectation.

This was different from the girls he had seen before, who would be full after just one or two bites.

Ning Zhiwei raised her head suddenly, caught his gaze, and was stunned, "What are you looking at? Is my face dirty?"

Rong Jing's heart was beating like thunder. He suppressed his desire to avoid her and looked at the wall behind her. "Let me see if there is any hidden secret?"

He was very calm. Ning Zhiwei didn't think much about it. She subconsciously followed his line of sight and tapped the wall lightly with her hands. "It shouldn't be..."

"Bang, bang." Oh my god, big problem occurred with just one shot.

"This sound is not right." Rong Jing stood up, walked to the wall and knocked everywhere. There was no problem with other places, but the sound behind Ning Zhiwei was not right.

He studied it for a while, "There is Wen Jin."

A Wen Jin is a bug. One end of the bug is inserted into the wall. You put your ear on the Wen Jin and you can eavesdrop on what is happening next door.

Ning Zhiwei's expression was hard to describe. Opening a restaurant and eavesdropping, was this to gather intelligence? Or to find fault with the guests?

"In your opinion, was it Marquis Dingyuan's idea? Or is there someone behind him?"

Who is it? The prince? Or... Su Mingjin?

"It's hard to say." Rong Jing had not expected such a change. "One thing is certain, the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is restless."

The guests who dine at Phoenix Building are all rich or noble. What is the purpose of doing this?

Ning Zhiwei rolled her eyes and said, "Let's show our loyalty and tell the emperor."

Her desire to watch the fun was written all over her face, Rong Jing couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

When it came time to pay the bill, Rong Jing took the lead.

Ning Zhiwei felt a little embarrassed. The food on this table was quite expensive. "It was agreed that I would treat you."

"Next time." Rong Jing returned her banknote firmly.

As the sun sets, the two walk side by side on the busy street.

Surrounded by noisy hawking sounds and with a beautiful woman by his side, Rong Jing, who was struggling in the darkness, felt an unprecedented peace for the first time.

The years are quiet and the world is stable.

A crisp voice came from my ear, "Um...can I ask a few questions?"

Rong Jing nodded slightly, his eyes gentle.

While Ning Zhiwei was strolling around, she instructed the people around her to buy the things she liked, including food, drinks and toys, and bring them to the children at home.

"How many gates does Hibiscus Garden have?"

Rong Jing's eyes fixed, and he looked down at the girl bathed in the rosy glow. Her whole body was stained with a layer of golden light, so gorgeous and dazzling, so beautiful that people couldn't help but hold their breath.

"There are five doors, one each in the east, south, west and north, and there is also a secret door."

Ning Zhiwei brushed her hair, her eyebrows and eyes were cunning and smart, "Is there a secret way?"

"Only God and the earth know about this kind of thing, and they themselves know it." Rong Jing looked at her deeply, "What... are you doing?"

Ning Zhiwei said meaningfully, "I don't have much time left. Three days, only three days. I must get Furong Garden no matter what."

He was so resolute, as if he had seen the moment of beating the drum again. Rong Jing's heart softened, "Don't worry, the princess has spoken, and Su Mingjin has to listen to her."

"I'm not guarding him."

Although Su Mingjin is powerful, he is far inferior to that person, who is shrewd, ruthless and ruthless.

A name flashed through Rong Jing's mind, and he moved his lips subconsciously and said silently, Su Haozhi.

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly with a serious expression. If Su Haozhi was in the capital today, she would not be so successful.

Rong Jing secretly investigated Su Haozhi, who was born into a scholarly family with a long history of officials. He won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of eighteen and was favored by the king, who granted him marriage to the eldest princess. After the marriage, he became a priest and was in charge of religious affairs throughout the country.

That is to say, monks, nuns, Taoists, Feng Shui masters and fortune tellers are all under his control.

This position does not involve court affairs, is noble and respectable, and leaves plenty of time for developing one's own interests and hobbies.

Over the years, Su Haozhi spent half of his time accompanying his wife and the other half traveling around mountains, rivers and streams. He was fascinated by the profound and vast landscape paintings and was hailed as a painting saint of his generation.

People's evaluation of him is that he is indifferent to fame and wealth, free and unrestrained, and extraordinary.

It seems fine, but who is Ning Zhiwei?

"Since you are so wary, why not let it go for now? The Ning family needs to lie low right now."

Ning Zhiwei didn't want to confront the unfathomable Su Haozhi head-on, but she wanted the things in Furong Garden very much.

Weighing two disadvantages, choose the lesser one; weighing two advantages, choose the greater one. She chose to take advantage of the fire.

"I do this for a reason."

She refused to say more and kept her mouth shut. Rong Jing rubbed his brows and sighed softly. He had no idea what to do with her.

"Ning Zhiwei, I don't want anything to happen to you."

A trace of affection lingers in my heart, hidden in this light evening breeze.

The girl raised her head suddenly and her eyes met the man's. The rosy sky illuminated their faces and she could clearly see the tenderness and affection in his eyes.

No way? ! !

"Rong Jing, you wouldn't be..." in love with her, right?
