Qin Xiaoyue went out to Jingshan for the first time. She sat in the car excitedly chattering and asking questions. Sometimes she opened the corner of the curtain to chat with Su Lun who was driving outside, and sometimes she opened the window grille and looked out to see the scenery outside.

For a moment, the carriage didn't seem deserted.

After a while, Qin Xiaoyue couldn't sit still inside and had to climb to the front of the car to squeeze in with Su Lun to enjoy the scenery.

Ran Shaotang just let her do whatever she wanted.

After receiving permission, Qin Xiaoyue climbed to Su Lun's side neatly. The scenery she saw outside was naturally different from what she felt inside the car, and she yelled again.

Without Qin Xiaoyue, the carriage became quiet.

Finally, Jiuchou leaned against the wall of the compartment, closing his eyes and not knowing what to think. His brows were not relaxed.

Shaotang asked worriedly: "But the wound still hurts?"

Finally Jiuchou opened his eyes, his gaze as bright as the stars: "It doesn't hurt."

Ran Shaotang observed his face carefully. His skin was fair as usual, but his lips were still not as rosy as before. He thought to himself, even if it hurts, it can't help you. Who told you to follow him regardless of the wound.

Sighing silently. How was she going to avoid him this time and meet the third prince smoothly?

Ran Shaotang felt worried.

The third prince Zong Zhengshen's plan was only effective once for Zhong Jiuchou, but it would definitely not work the second time.

Zhong Jiuchou probably followed him this time just to keep a close eye on him. Otherwise, how could he ask such a question: Zong Zhengshen is looking for you everywhere, have you offended Zong Zhengshen?

He must have suffered a secret loss last time and sent people to keep an eye on her.

She touched the out-of-print "The Art of Mind" that she had worked on almost all night long in her arms, and simply closed her eyes to rest.

I don't want to think about it anymore. This is something that Zong Zhengshen is worried about. She has nothing to worry about for the ancients.

Slowly, Ran Shaotang entered the flow state again, and concentrated on practicing Vipassana and practicing inner skills and mental methods.

In his ears were Qin Xiaoyue's happy chatter and the melodious sound of bells coming from under the horse's neck.

Walking on the mountain road, the carriage is as stable as walking on flat ground.

In the end, Jiuchou had already heard about yesterday's school exam from Qin Xiaoyue, which aroused his curiosity about Ran Shaotang even more.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, she could actually understand the art of war. Unfortunately, she did not delve into it, but instead learned the art of business.

I wonder what she will be like when she grows up.

He was even more curious that the Yaowang Sect's law enforcement master would let her go so easily and recognize her as the winner after just one question.

This cannot be as vigorous and vigorous as the rumors outside, and the law enforcement is as strong as a mountain.

He was initially worried that a character like her would be shackled and restrained in the Yaowang Sect's strict rules.

Unexpectedly, it was her who opened the chain of rules.

"Shaotang, do you want to leave the Yaowang Sect?"

Ran Shaotang opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Zhong Jiuchou, who had a beautiful face, and uttered two words: "I don't want to." But he was wondering why he asked this.

Zhong Jiuchou laughed at himself and stopped continuing the topic. Instead, he asked, "How about we go to Yipinzhai for lunch today?"

Ran Shaotang thought of the various desserts there, and they were quite delicious.

Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, now that I think about it, it still makes her hungry.

"Okay." She replied simply, smiling out of the pear dimple on her right cheek.

Zhong Jiuchou urged Su Lun to drive quickly and arrive at Yipinzhai before noon. Immediately, Shaotang felt his body lean forward and two horses started galloping on the road.

Qin Xiaoyue's harsh and cheerful laughter echoed throughout the valley.

Half an hour later, Qin Xiaoyue stood in the busiest street market in Qianmen Town, looking at the three words "Yipinzhai", biting her lower lip, and swallowed silently.

She had heard her father tell her many times that Yipinzhai in Qianmen Town had all kinds of delicacies, and the craftsmanship was more exquisite and delicious than what her father made.

The key is that Yipinzhai has all the ingredients that are not available in Jingshan.

"Let's go." Ran Shaotang touched the little girl's head.

The enthusiastic store clerk came out excitedly.

Businessmen all know how to judge current events by looking at someone’s eyes.

When the waiter took a quick look at the luxurious carriage parked in front of the restaurant, he knew he was an honored guest, so he greeted him with a smile.

One by one, "noble people".

When he saw Su Lun coming over after the carriage had stopped, he smiled even more, his mouth almost splitting to his cheeks.

"I asked who was so arrogant. It turned out to be Mr. Su. Please come in quickly. Please come in now. The VIP room has been packed out a long time ago."

Su Lun asked: "Are the dishes I asked you to prepare ready?"

"Don't you dare to finish what Mr. Su told me, I've already prepared it. Just feel free to do it." The store clerk enthusiastically welcomed everyone into a private room near the back of the second floor.

Finally, Jiuchou and Ran Shaotang sat down, and Qin Xiaoyue stood beside Shaotang, wondering whether she should sit down or not.

Ran Shaotang pulled her to sit next to him and said, "There are not so many rules between you and me."

Qin Xiaoyue went to see Zhong Jiuchou again, and Zhong Jiuchou said to Su Lun, "Come over and sit down after I finish explaining."

Su Lun was worried and agreed to go to the back kitchen and walk around before returning to the private room and sitting down with satisfaction.

At this time, the shop assistant had already delivered the best bird tongue. Qin Xiaoyue was about to pour the tea. Ran Shaotang held her down and said, "You have a rest today. Someone will do it."

The shop assistant was clever and took the initiative to take the teapot and pour the steaming hot tea one by one. In an instant, the room was filled with the elegant fragrance of tea.

The waiter had already asked the shopkeeper for instructions, not to wait for other tables, but to take charge of Zhongjiuchou's elegant room.

After a short while, the waiters came in one after another to serve the food.

Qin Xiaoyue stared at the delicious food on the table, her eyes widened, but she didn't move her chopsticks.

Shaotang glanced at the dishes on the table, including shredded yam, sugar-stewed lotus seeds, almond cheese, stir-fried crabs, bergamot and sea cucumbers, Yipin hot pot, plain braised lotus seeds, eight-treasure hazelnut paste, assorted pots, chrysanthemum pots...

....She couldn't even name some of the dishes.

There are so many dishes that four people can't finish.

It seems that Zhong Jiuchou wants to express his gratitude with food?

Ran Shaotang gave the person next to him a meaningful look.

Zhong Jiuchou saw that the food was almost ready and said, "Eat it while it's hot, everyone is hungry."

The four of them started to move their chopsticks.

Seeing that there was no wine on the table, the waiter cautiously inquired: "Sir, would you like some of our home-brewed sweet-scented osmanthus roast? The little girl can also drink some sherbet. It tastes refreshing and can be eaten with the exquisite dishes that will be served soon."

It’s a perfect match.”

"What dishes will be left later?" Shaotang was curious. "There are enough dishes now. If you don't cook them, just return them. It's such a waste."

She glanced at Zhong Jiuchou, who had not yet spoken, but Su Lun glared at the talkative waiter.

The waiter realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately turned pale and shut his mouth.

Zhong Jiuchou glanced at the waiter with interest and raised his chin: "Go and get the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed wine and sherbet you mentioned."

The waiter's worries turned into joy, he agreed crisply, and ran downstairs to get the wine.

Su Lun hurriedly diverted Ran Shaotang's attention and introduced the dishes on the table eagerly.

"This almond cheese recipe is very detailed. I specifically asked them to grind the almonds one night in advance to remove the bitterness, so that it tastes delicious and smooth."

Shaotang glanced at Zhong Jiuchou who was drinking tea with his peripheral vision, wondering if this guy had already planned to go out today?
