Chapter 130 Eating at Songhe Tower
When Xia Jing returned to the hotel, Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen were already waiting downstairs, and the three of them were ready to go shopping.
As an old Chinese saying goes, what comes comes comes.
The original arrangement was for Xia Jing to go to Xia's house today, but she never expected that the trip would end so soon.
Xia Mi wore a goose-yellow dress today. The collar was a doll collar, and the upper body was decorated with white buttons. The color was not uniform. The waist was cinched with a pearl belt, and the remaining section fell on the thin waist.
Since going downstairs, people passing by frequently turned back to look at Xia Mi.
The eyes of passers-by could only stay on Xia Mi for three seconds, and they would soon receive another scorching look.
"Let's go."
The three of them took a car to the Humble Administrator's Garden.
This was not Xia Mi's first visit. As a Suzhou native, she had also been to the Humble Administrator's Garden in her previous life. However, the Humble Administrator's Garden was now much older than she remembered, and many things were more restored, without much trace of renovations by later generations.
There are not many people in the Humble Administrator's Garden. They are all locals and there are no foreign tourists.
While visiting, Xia Jing said, "We will go to Songhe Tower for dinner later, and let Jingchen try the squirrel mandarin fish, as well as the two other dishes, shredded eel in oil and clear river shrimp, which are also delicious."< br>
Before she even tasted it, Xia Jing was so greedy that her mouth was watering just from the introduction.
Xia Mi agreed, "The food at Songhelou is indeed good."
Huo Jingchen nodded and said yes, his eyes fell on Xia Mi, and he also wanted to take her to eat his hometown food.
After visiting the Humble Administrator's Garden, it was almost noon, and the three of them took a car to the entrance of Songhe Tower.
It's dinner time now, and Songhe Tower has never been short of guests, even in this era.
"It seems that the seats are full. How about we go around outside twice and then come back?"
Xia Jing went in and took a look and found that the place was full of people. The waiters were shuttled among the crowd and were so busy that no one greeted them at all.
There are even three tables for wedding banquets, so there are even fewer seats for guests.
Xia Jing turned around and walked out of the door, and found that there were several people watching the situation inside with them.
"Okay, I remember that the cakes in Suzhou are delicious. How about we go buy some as a specialty and take them back?" Xia Mi thought about going back tomorrow afternoon.
Xia Jing agreed, "Xiaomi is still thoughtful. I remember there was a restaurant in front of me that tasted good. I don't know if it's still there. Let's go and have a look first."
The three of them were about to leave when someone called from behind and stopped them.
"Comrade, comrade!"
Xia Mi turned around first and recognized the person a few seconds later. It was Wang Chengzhang, the man whose money was stolen from the train a few days ago.
When Wang Chengzhang saw that it was really Huo Jingchen and the others, he quickly chased after him, "Comrade, what a coincidence, we meet again."
"Are you here to eat at Songhe Tower? I just saw this lesbian looking for a seat inside."
Wang Chengzhang is referring to Xia Jing.
"Yes, but there are a lot of people now, so we are going to go shopping before we come back." Huo Jingchen sighed inwardly at the coincidence of fate, and he was able to meet this person again.
"That's just right. My sister is hosting a banquet inside. If you don't dislike me, I would like to invite you in for a meal."
Wang Chengzhang may have known that Huo Jingchen was going to refuse, "There are not too many places, not too many. Originally, my wife was also going to come, but her child had a high fever and couldn't come. There was a shortage."
Huo Jingchen looked at Xia Mi, wanting to ask her.
Seeing the opportunity, Wang Chengzhang seized it and said, "Comrade, eating a meal shouldn't be considered a violation of the rules. It's just a simple meal. I just saw this girl coming in, so I asked my sister to stop the guests. Now there are There are many people waiting for you.”
Wang Chengzhang has been thinking about her recently and regretted not having a chance to repay him. He thought he would figure it out over time, but he never thought he would run into her again.
This must be fate.
Xia Mi looked at Xia Jing and saw no refusal in her eyes. She thought for a while and agreed, "Okay."
"This is a little bit of our thoughts."
Xia Mi came out with five yuan. Now he doesn't like to give gifts. He always gives something as a gift, but he just came out to eat and didn't have anything else with him.
She felt that the money should still be given, as a token of appreciation. Wang Chengzhang wanted to refuse, but Xia Mi smiled slightly and said, "Otherwise it would be against the rules."
This trick was used again, and Wang Chengzhang had no choice but to accept the money and agree.
Fortunately, they were not rejected this time. Wang Chengzhang felt happy and enthusiastically invited the three of them in.
When entering the door, Xia Mi immediately saw the bride and groom sitting in the middle of the crowd.
"Captain Huo?"
Sanqi called Huo Jingchen, and if you listen carefully, you can notice that his voice is trembling.
Huo Jingchen turned around and looked directly at Sanqi. He subconsciously looked at Xia Mi again.
Xia Mi had already seen Sang Qi, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, because Sang Qi looked somewhat similar to her.
There is an empty seat next to Sanqi, and it is not difficult to tell that it is Wang Chengzhang's seat.
"What a coincidence, Comrade Sang." Huo Jingchen smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Wang Chengzhang looked back and forth between the two of them, extremely surprised. Even the other people at the main table also looked surprised.
"Is this...your lover?" Sanchi was in an excited mood. What he wanted to say stuck in his throat for a long time before he finally managed to formulate one sentence, "Is it Xia Mi?"
Xia Mi nodded slightly, "I am."
She didn't mention anything else. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the waiter starting to serve the dishes and said, "It's time to eat."
"Then just eat, don't talk after eating."
Huo Jingchen turned away from Sanqi, and even reached out to lift Xia Mi's head and look straight at the dinner table.
"Xiao Mi, is that your biological father?"
Xia Mi shook his head and denied, "No, it should be my uncle."
"What about you?" Xia Jing was puzzled. Shouldn't we recognize each other? Why did she look so cold?
"There is a bit of a misunderstanding. Besides, he is in a special situation and has no feelings. Do you admit it or not?"
Xia Mi paused and added, "He has now recognized Xia Yaoyao as his goddaughter."
"What?" Xia Jing felt outrageous when she heard this. "She got all the good things from Daqing, but in the end, you didn't even have a home."
"Aunt, I'm still alive." Huo Jingchen added silently.
Xia Jing smiled sheepishly, "Jingchen, you know I didn't mean that."
"It's okay. I just reminded Xiaomi by the way. I'm worried that she might be unbalanced."
"How am I unbalanced?"
"You just talked to Sanchi. If it were me, I wouldn't say a word to him."
Xia Mi felt that the person in front of him was very naive, "Then you haven't talked to him yet."
"It's different, he has nothing to do with me."
"Then it's the same for me. Can't I just say a word to a stranger?"
Xia Jing: "..."
No wonder these two people can get along together, they are so childish.
Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen finished the meal under the watchful eyes of Sanqi.
After finishing their meal, Xia Mi and the others were ready to say hello to Wang Chengzhang and leave like the others.
Before Wang Chengzhang could speak, Sang Qi next to him spoke.
"Captain Huo, Xia Mi, can I talk to you?"
Huo Jingchen's refusal blurted out, "We have already talked about it, haven't we?"
