"If what you say is useful, from now on, all my banquets will be held at Xiangmanlou." Shangguan Yue made straightforward terms with me.
"Xiangmanlou does not belong to my family." I smiled silently and said, "I make a living by reading faces. The most important thing about whether I can read them accurately is the word fate."< br>
"Fate? What fate?" I don't know if Shangguan Yue really doesn't understand or if he pretends not to understand.
“I haven’t figured out anything about fate. If I show you today, you can’t tell it for sure.” I stood up and said, “The time when you figure out what fate is is that time. Xinsheng Pavilion came to see me.”
Bai Mengting wanted to leave me alone, but she glared back at me.
This time Shangguan Yue said nothing. I just walked out of the box so carelessly.
When I returned to the small private room where I had eaten before, Yi Ba had almost finished eating. However, he is relatively conscientious and knows that I like to eat fish, so the portion of pickled cabbage, yellow spicy diced cabbage is basically left untouched.
"How's the fortune telling going?" Yi Ba asked me.
"Don't worry about it for now, I'm still hungry! We'll talk about it when we're full." I said.
After about ten minutes of eating, the door of the private room was pushed open with a creak. Standing at the door was Bai Mengting with a pulled face.
"Are you keeping a straight face because we started eating without waiting for you?" I asked with a smile.
“I asked you to come to help, but you tried to undermine me. What do you mean?” Bai Mengting glared at me angrily.
"How can I disappoint you?" I smiled and said: "For things like fortune telling, it is better to do it in Xinsheng Pavilion. Xiangmanlou is a restaurant after all, so it is only suitable for Eat. "
"What do you mean? Shangguan Yue was offended by you, do you know?" Bai Mengting asked me.
"If you offend me, just offend me! She begged me anyway, not me begging her. Even if I offend her, you still have to politely call me Master Chuyi." I road.
"Are you so sure that she will come to beg you?" Bai Mengting asked me.
"Now that she doesn't care about me and doesn't respect me, that's because things haven't worsened yet. With or without me, it's the same." I paused and said, "When things get out of hand, When she is desperate, she will naturally come to me."
"Can you help me then?" Bai Mengting said this because she didn't believe in my strength!
"Don't you still know what I am capable of? Apart from anything else, in terms of fortune telling, among the living people, the one who is more capable than me is no more than the number of palms in my hand." I said.
"So, there is still someone better than you!" Bai Mengting said.
"I can't find anyone better than me. Where can I find Shangguan Yue?" I said.
"If these dishes are enough, why don't I serve you two more." Bai Mengting looked at me lovingly and said, "You were doing a fortune teller just now, and Yi Ba finished all the dishes."< br>
“I’ve almost eaten, no need.” I said.
"Come to Xiangmanyuan, how can I not let you eat enough? Wait a moment, I will make arrangements." After Bai Mengting said this, she immediately turned around and went out.
About half an hour later, new dishes arrived. The dishes served this time were of a much higher quality than before. The three served in a row were all Xiangmanlou's signature dishes.
"Sister-in-law, you are being unreasonable! I'm almost full before you serve the signature dish." Yi Ba said with a depressed look.
"You have the nerve to say, who asked you to eat alone here on the first day of the junior high school?" Bai Mengting asked the waiter to bring an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Let’s have dinner together.”
Xiangmanlou’s signature dishes, whether it’s dragon boat mandarin fish or eight-treasure wild duck, the taste is simply too delicious to describe in words.
Bai Mengting and I ate with relish. As for that guy Yi Ba, although he is very good at eating, because he ate too much before, now he can only taste it and eat only one or two chopsticks.
After finishing the meal, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Bai Mengting drove Z4 and sent Yi Ba and I back to Xinsheng Pavilion.
"Sister-in-law is just biased. She knew you were going to have a photoshoot, so she didn't serve the good food." This guy Yi Ba, it's been so long since he finished his meal, he's still complaining.
“You blame me?” I laughed.
"If you don't blame you, who should you blame? You didn't know to remind me to keep some food in my stomach." Yi Ba, this unreasonable person, actually blamed me.
“How do I know there are still dishes left?” I said.
"Forget it! Next time I go to Xiangmanlou to eat, if your first-year brother doesn't start eating, I will never move. Otherwise, it will be like this time, thank you!" Yi Bada said.
"Do you think Zheng Xiaoyu will come tonight?" I asked Yi Ba.
“I don’t know.” Yi Ba frowned and said, “If she comes, there will be movement during the child’s hour. If nothing happens after the child’s hour, she will not come. "
"It's time in less than an hour. How about I go to Anqing with you to see it?" I said.
"Okay!" Yi Ba nodded and said, "I'm bored waiting alone. If you can wait with me, we can at least have a chat."
Because it's night I ate too much and wanted to take a walk to digest it, so I didn’t drive the van. After all, it only takes about ten or twenty minutes to walk from my Xinsheng Pavilion to Yiba's Anqing Temple.
Yi Ba and I walked slowly while chatting, and at ten fifty, we returned to Anqingguan.
Eleven o'clock is midnight, it is now ten fifty, and there are still ten minutes left.
Zheng Xiaoyu is not a living person, but a female ghost. While waiting for her, Yi Ba and I couldn't sit in the lobby. Yi Ba took me into the small room on the side of the lobby. Hiding there, I could not only see what was going on in the lobby, but even if something entered the lobby, we couldn't be seen.
Time passed minute by minute. At the beginning, I was full of expectations. But after waiting for half an hour and still not seeing any movement, I became less enthusiastic.
“It’s already half past eleven, why is there still no movement?” I asked.
"Who knows? Maybe Zheng Xiaoyu won't come at all tonight." Yi Ba said with uncertainty.
While Yi Ba and I were whispering there, suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing over us. An Qingguan's door was originally a rotten wooden door, but when it was blown by the cold wind, it immediately began to creak.
"There is such a strong wind for no reason. Is Zheng Xiaoyu here?" I asked Yi Ba.
Yi Ba put his index finger in front of his mouth and shushed softly, meaning to tell me not to speak.
I immediately calmed down, and then stared at the hemp rope hanging on the wall. The reason why I looked there was because Yi Ba's eyes were also staring there.
Under the influence of the cold wind, the talismans attached to the hemp rope started to move, and the sound was so loud in the silent night.
It cracked, a talisman cracked. After splitting into two halves, the talisman fluttered and fell to the ground. The other talismans were ravaged by the evil wind, and soon they could no longer bear it.
After a while, all the talismans were blown into two halves and fell to the ground.
“Boom!”
I saw that the hemp rope that was originally hanging on the wall suddenly fell to the ground, making such a muffled sound.
Come, it must be Zheng Xiaoyu. Because the hemp rope hanging on the wall was given to us by Zheng Xiaoyu. Now that the hemp rope has fallen to the ground, it must have been her who caused the movement!
I stared at the lobby for a long time, but I couldn't see a single person. Where is Zheng Xiaoyu? Isn't she here? Why can't I see it?
Yi Ba, like me, was staring at the lobby attentively. Looking at his appearance at this time, it seemed that like me, I couldn't see where Zheng Xiaoyu was?
There were footsteps, and the sound came from outside the door. Both Yi Ba and I were attracted by the footsteps. When I raised my head and looked out the door. Just at the door, a figure appeared. When I saw her, I was so scared that I opened my mouth. I thought to myself several times, how is this possible?
