Luoyang Brocade Chapter 241: Temptation (3)
The dishes at Dingxiang Restaurant are exquisite and second to none among many restaurants in the capital.
After Ling Wuye arrived in the capital, he went to many famous restaurants, and Dingxiang Restaurant was the first to come back. The restaurant waiter introduced the restaurant's special dishes in a nonchalant manner. Ling Wuye said very proudly: "No need to introduce any more. I'll serve you all the signature dishes in the restaurant."
The guy nodded, smiled, and quickly retreated.
Soon, hot tea, snacks and cold dishes were served.
Ling Xiao watched with great interest. He took a small piece of pastry and put it into his mouth, eating it with relish.
Ling Jingshu looked on and suddenly felt hungry: "Axiao, are these pastries really delicious?"
Ling Xiao blinked and smiled: "In the past, when I ate dim sum, you would pick it up with chopsticks and bring it to my mouth. Today, I do it myself, so the taste is of course different."
Since his eyesight recovered, Ling Xiao's temperament has become more cheerful day by day.
Looking at Ling Xiao's lively appearance, Ling Jingshu felt indescribable joy in her heart, and she also picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth. Sweet but not greasy, with a delicate texture, it is indeed very delicious.
"Cousin Yan, this pastry tastes very good. Come and try it." Ling Jingshu said with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Jian politely: "I wonder if Mr. Zhang likes pastries? You might as well try one."
Ling Jingyan and Zhang Jian were going back and forth. As they were talking, they were hungry and their mouths were dry. After hearing this, they ate a piece of pastry and drank a cup of hot tea. The words eating appearance and being polite have nothing to do with each other.
In comparison. Zhang Jian is more reserved. He was not too hasty when tasting the pastries, and he was particularly gentle and polite when talking to Ling Jingshu.
Hypocritical! Pretending!
Ling Jingyan glanced at Zhang Jian and felt displeased no matter how she looked at him.
Actually. She is usually very expressive in front of strangers. Smile without showing your teeth, walk without showing your feet, be gentle and demure and very decent. But facing Zhang Jian, whom she had only known for a long time, she didn't even have the slightest interest in pretending to be a lady. She even thought maliciously that she would be rude and unruly, and it would be best to make Zhang Jian angry and run away.
Soon, the dishes arrived.
Ling Wuye specially ordered two bottles of wine, but Ling Xiao's eye disease had not yet completely recovered. Not suitable for drinking alcohol. Zhang Jian did his part and took the initiative to raise his glass and propose a toast.
The two of them went back and forth. Drinking and chatting, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.
Ling Jingyan buried herself in eating and drinking and ignored Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian glanced at Ling Jingyan from time to time.
Ling Jingshu saw this and felt quite amused. This Zhang Jian. He shamelessly wanted to have this lunch, it was obvious that he was not interested in drinking!
……
An hour later.
Ling Jingshu, Ling Jingyan, and Ling Xiao had already eaten and were sitting around chatting to kill time.
Ling Wuye and Zhang Jian drank four bottles of wine in total. The fifth master Ling was already half drunk. The "drunkard" Zhang Jian was not as drunk as the fifth master Ling, and a blush appeared on his handsome face.
Ling Wuye was about to ask the waiter to serve another pot of wine, but Ling Jingshu stopped him in time: "Father, I think Mr. Zhang has drunk too much. If he drinks any more, he won't even be able to ride a horse. It's better not to drink. !"
Zhang Jian rushed to respond: "I, I, I'm not drunk, it doesn't matter if I drink another two pots."
Everyone wanted to laugh but was embarrassed. It's quite hard to endure.
Ling Jingyan didn’t have so many scruples. She smiled and teased: "You, you, you are really not drunk? Then why are you stuttering?"
Zhang Jian: "..."
Ling Jingshu and Ling Xiao finally couldn't help it and burst into laughter.
Only then did Lord Ling realize that Zhang Jian's face was flushed and his eyes were distracted. If you drink any more, you will definitely get drunk. He couldn't help but burst into laughter: "That's all, I've had a lot of fun drinking today, and it's really not appropriate to drink more. Let's break up now! Let's get together another day."
Zhang Jian immediately responded: "Okay, in a few days, I will definitely go to Ling Mansion to visit the Fifth Master Ling."
Ling Wuye: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Just now I saw Zhang Jian still looking drunk, but his feelings were not drunk at all! Climbed up along the pole.
Ling Jingshu wanted to laugh but held it back.
Ling Jingyan stared at her almond-shaped eyes in surprise. It was like seeing Zhang Jian for the first time.
Ling Wuye cleared his throat and said, "Then I will wait for Mr. Zhang at Ling Mansion."
Zhang Jian immediately smiled and cupped his hands: "Then it's a deal."
……
"How can there be such shameless people in the world!"
After paying the bill. Everyone left Dingxiang Tower and went their separate ways. Ling Jingyan finally had a chance to express her indignation and resentment: "I just talked too much, and he plans to rely on me? I've already invited him to lunch, and he's still not satisfied. He still wants to come to our Ling Come to the house to eat and drink. How shameless is this!"
Listening to what Ling Jingyan said was interesting, Ling Xiao smiled happily: "Cousin Yan, it's not as exaggerated as what you said. I think Mr. Zhang has a frank temperament, humorous words, and is very relaxed and pleasant to get along with. He is worth getting along with." friends."
Ling Jingyan wrinkled her nose at Ling Xiao: "What a friend worth keeping. Don't be deceived by him! He is simply a shameless guy who eats and drinks!"
Ling Jingshu couldn’t stop laughing: “Cousin Yan, I am a good young master who is also the servant of the Ministry of Justice. He is well-dressed and well-fed, so how can he be greedy for food and drink? You are prejudiced against him. Looking at it from another angle, in fact, it’s like this It’s easy to get along with people.”
"Hey, hey, you've been deceived anyway." Ling Jingyan was very dissatisfied when she saw the two siblings talking to Zhang Jian: "Are you still my good sister?"
When Ling Jingyan gets angry in a hurry, her eyes will open wide and spin around, not to mention how cute they are.
Ling Jingshu deliberately teased her: "We are good sisters, of course I am attracted to you. However, Zhang Jian does seem to be a good person. In the future, when he comes to visit, you might as well spend more time with him and talk to him, maybe You will soon discover his merits ~IndoMTL.com~ and fall in love with him.”
"How is this possible!"
Ling Jingyan retorted without thinking: "How could I have a crush on him? This kind of joke is not funny at all."
This may not be the case!
Maybe Zhang Jian is Ling Jingyan’s destined happy enemy!
Ling Jingshu looked at Ling Jingyan with a smile, and reminded meaningfully: "Cousin Yan, think about it carefully. Zhang Jian followed us to Dingxiang Building today, and then asked to come to our Ling family as a guest. What exactly is going on? For what?"
What is it for? !
Ling Jingyan was confused by the question, and Zhang Jian's handsome and smiling face suddenly appeared in her mind.
Strange, how could she remember his appearance when she had never really looked at him? I even remember the evil smile clearly on the corner of my lips...
Ling Jingyan immediately pushed this unnecessary thought out of her mind. (To be continued.)
