Hearing the footsteps on the stairs, everyone waiting at the counter looked up.
As they walked down the stairs, Lin Ansheng frowned slightly when he saw the two masters and servants of the Wu Mansion standing in front of the counter.
Peng Xian was startled for a moment, then looked at the person next to him with his original expression.
Hong Xiaoduo felt strange looking at the expressions of the two of them, so he turned to look at Wu Jinyao, just in time to see her affectionate and shy look, "Oh, let me go?"
Hong Xiaoduo suddenly realized that Mrs. Yao from the Wu Zhifu family was not looking for trouble because of the incident at the clothing store.
Peng Xian glanced at Wu Jinyao and said nothing.
Lin Ansheng could only say: "What's going on?"
Hong Xiaoduo looked at Wu Jinyao without saying anything when he heard his question, just wanting to hear what she would say.
“Wu Jinyao has met the general. It’s like this. My mother wanted to eat the lion’s head in Juxianlou, so Jinyao came to buy it. I happened to hear that the general was dining here, so she thought that the general would eat the lion’s head at this place. "It's really hard work to be stationed here during the New Year.
Jinyao just wanted to help the generals pay for the food and drinks, and didn't want to disturb the generals' drinking," Wu Jinyao explained in a soft voice.
The implication was that she just wanted to help with the checkout, so Hong Xiaoduo had to call them.
Hearing this, Lin Ansheng looked at Hong Xiaoduo, wanting to hear what she said
However, when Hong Xiaoduo saw him looking at her, she misunderstood and blamed herself for disturbing her. Want him to go downstairs?
"General Lin, since this lady wants to entertain you, why don't you open another table? I'm going to invite Vice General Peng and the others. What's the point of letting others pay the money?" Hong Xiaoduo looked at Lin Ansheng and said directly.
When Peng Xian heard this, he nodded and looked at his good brother with a smile on his face. Since some people are so active, then general, don’t come with us!
Lin Ansheng didn't expect Hong Xiaoduo to say this, and felt a little annoyed. Why do you need to make arrangements for this general?
At this time, another diners entered the restaurant. The atmosphere among them was a bit strange, but they did not dare to stand there and watch the excitement. They followed the waiter to choose a table out of curiosity.
Lin Ansheng wanted to get angry, but he couldn't, because this little lady with a very rude tone was someone his lieutenant valued. She had to take a shower, change clothes and shave when she came to a banquet.
As the saying goes, if you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, you must take into account the face of brothers in life and death!
So he turned to look at Madam Wu’s family and said, “My general has accepted Madam Wu’s kindness, but I am just following my deputy general to eat, so, Madam Wu, Don't fight with others to pay." After saying that, he glanced at Hong Xiaoduo, turned around and walked upstairs, the general is going to eat this meal from you!
Hong Xiaoduo didn't expect that a man named Lin would say that, but thinking about his attitude towards Mrs. Yao, she seemed to understand that this was what was called, Luo Hua deliberately being ruthless?
In front of so many people, he didn’t even save face for his wife. Is this a straight man?
"Shopkeeper, do you hear me, the money is mine." Hong Xiaoduo said loudly to the man at the counter.
Of course the shopkeeper heard and understood clearly. He smiled wryly and quickly put away the silver ingot Hong Xiaoduo put in front of him.
It was so difficult for him. Looking at the embarrassed look on Mrs. Yao’s face from Magistrate Wu’s house, I really wished I was nothing now.
When Hong Xiaoduo walked upstairs, he thought for a moment and stopped in front of Wu Jinyao, and said to her helplessly and sympathetically: "I'm sorry, you really can't blame me.
However, Mrs. Wu, you are so kind-hearted and considerate of the efforts of the General and the others for the Great Five Passes. In fact, if you want to express your feelings on behalf of the people of Dawu Pass, General Lin can't do this. Miss Wu, you can buy some chicken, duck, fish, meat, wine and so on, and send people to the military camp to express condolences to other soldiers. "
After that, he greeted Peng Xian and walked upstairs. As he walked, he asked Peng Xian in a low voice: "Do you, General Lin, have such high standards that even the daughter of the prefect can look down on you?"
Peng Xian smiled and responded in a low voice: " Who knows.”
Downstairs, Wu Jinyao, who had been humiliated in public, tried not to let her tears fall and turned around to leave in embarrassment and annoyance.
The maid followed for two steps, then remembered and turned around to the counter to take back her little lady’s gold leaf. When he got outside, he opened the sedan curtain and said, "Madam." He handed the gold leaf in.
After there was a snap, the maid held her cheek that was so hot that she realized that Lady Yao was blaming herself.
On the street, the maidservant couldn't help but kneel down and admit her mistake, so she quickly signaled the bearers to carry Lady Yao back to her home.
In the elegant room of Juxian Tower, except for Lin Ansheng who looked a little unhappy, the rest of the people were enjoying their food.
Lin Ansheng looked at the heartless good brother Peng Xian, and then at Hong Xiaoduo, who seemed like nothing had happened. He greeted Peng Xian and the five of them warmly, and felt that his heart was inexplicably blocked.
I am a general, why is there no respect or fear in her eyes?
"I would like to ask, what does Miss Hong do in her house?" Lin Ansheng couldn't hold it back and asked.
What kind of family is she? The daughter of a family of any status, she doesn’t take him as a general seriously?
Hong Xiaoduo was in a good mood now and responded with a smile: "The general himself said it was presumptuous, so why should I ask?"
"You?" Lin Ansheng, who was choked, said neither up nor down in one breath.
"General, come here, I will lend you flowers and offer them to Buddha. I would like to propose a toast to you. Thank you, General, for taking care of me all these years." Peng Xian, who was standing by, saw that his brother's mood was not right, so he quickly raised his glass and spoke.
When Lin Ansheng heard this, he shook his head with a helpless smile, how could he forget this person? He picked up the wine cup, raised his neck and drank.
He just thinks that he shouldn’t come with him now. If he doesn’t come, nothing will happen! At the same time, I also warned myself in my heart that this is just this time, this kind of thing will never happen again.
Besides, why bother with an ignorant little lady? I am a man and a general, and it would be a shame to argue with a little lady!
Thinking about it this way, Lin Ansheng felt that his heart was no longer so blocked.
Besides, Wu Jinyao, who had humiliated herself, had also made up her mind and made a difficult decision before she returned to her home and was still on the sedan chair.
She will do what the master said.
She has been in love with someone for three years. How could she be willing to give up right now?
Master is a confidant who has been with his father for many years. He works prudently and arranges everything without leakage. Thinking of this, the original resistance in Wu Jinyao's heart had dissipated.
After all, doing that is for the happiness of my life...
