Chapter 47 Dinner
Entering the private room, Shen Jinyu and Song Yao sat in the upper seats. Next to their seats was the window. Looking over, one could have a panoramic view of the most prosperous night scene in the imperial city.

A long light with no end in sight stretched out, and the cars and people below were coming and going, and the lights were bright.Vendors on both sides of the long street were shouting enthusiastically. Lovers who came out to shop held hands and chatted slowly. In a slightly wider area, there were buskers performing. People surrounded them, and there were cheers from time to time.

This Dajin imperial city is really bustling, Qi Yue is so lively, he will definitely like it here.

"Jinyu, what are you thinking about?" Song Yao's words brought him back to his thoughts, Shen Jinyu turned around and said lightly, "It's nothing."

They ordered a table of signature dishes, big cold plate, roast mutton, gourd chicken, and pork knuckles. After looking around, Shen Jinyu didn't like anything he liked, especially mutton, which had a strong smell, and he didn't like it even more.

When the dishes were served, Xiao Er filled them with wine, Xue Ye was the first to toast to Shen Jinyu,
"Master Shen, this is the first time I have dinner with you. This is the first glass of wine to toast you. The Potian Army and the Five Great Battalions in the suburbs of Beijing are opposite each other. We can be regarded as close neighbors. Let's move around more in the future, Mr. Shen , I did it, you can do whatever you want!" After speaking, Xue Ye raised his head and drank it down.

"Okay! Master Xue is still a good drinker!" Someone echoed.

Shen Jinyu hooked the corners of his mouth indifferently, raised his glass in return, and took a sip.Northwest wine is too strong, it burns in the throat, and the wine has a mellow aroma, Shen Jinyu frowned unconsciously.

After Xue Ye paid his respects, he went to pay respects to Song Yao again, "Master Song, we are old friends, so I won't talk too much about it, but last time you said you bought me a drink to evade the bill, this time it's your turn to settle the bill!"

"Master Xue's words are wrong. That's not called evasion, that's called being shy." Song Yao raised his glass and smiled back.

"You can pull it down, Mr. Song, are you still ashamed?" A rough-looking man joked with a smile. That man was Xue Ye's subordinate, a hundred households from the five camps in the suburbs of Beijing.

Song Yao could get a lot of fights with anyone, Shen Jinyu thought.

Xue Ye made a round of respects one by one, and after the round, his face was already flushed, and he was already drunk due to the strong wine in the Northwest.

Everyone drank and drank, and those who ate meat ate meat. Shen Jinyu had no interest, so he picked up a few vegetables in front of his chopsticks.

Just when he was bored, a man in blue and brocade robe stood up from the opposite table and walked over.

"Master Shen, Tang Yuanqing, Minister of the Lower Household Department, offer a cup to Master Shen,"

Shen Jinyu looked up and saw that it was an unfamiliar face. Tang Yuanqing was handsome and handsome, with a literati air, with a gentle and elegant manner, and a third-rank official.

Shen Jinyu raised his glass in return, "Master Tang is gentle and handsome, how did you get to play with those big men in the army?"

Tang Yuanqing said with a smile: "Master Shen doesn't know something. Zheng Li, the servant of the Ministry of War, once rescued me, and I became sworn brothers with him. Master Xue and the others were introduced by Zheng Li, so they played together."

Shen Jinyu: "I see."

After toasting, Tang Yuanqing returned to his seat. As soon as he sat down, a man in blue and brocade robe beside him turned to talk to him. That man was Zheng Li, the servant of the Ministry of War. Green appearance.

"Jinyu, the people sent by the emperor to the southwest have returned. There is no sign of Duan Mufeng and Qi Yue in the southwest area. The emperor intends to look for those places on the border of Shuobei. Duan Mufeng is cunning, and it is very likely that he will leave the customs." Song Yao He whispered in Shen Jinyu's ear.

Shen Jinyu's hand holding the vegetables paused, "Exit?"

Song Yao: "The whole Dajin is now full of his arrest warrants. Except for exiting the customs, he can't be silent, but this is also a guess. Don't let go of any hope. All the checkpoints have been received. Order, as long as they appear, we will receive the news as quickly as possible."

Shen Jinyu put down her chopsticks and took a sip of wine, "How come these big living people just disappeared without a trace?"

Song Yao: "As long as people are still in Dajin, it is impossible for them to have no life at all. Maybe it's just that we haven't found any clues."

Shen Jinyu didn't answer, he reached out and touched the sword tassel on his waist, it was the sword tassel on Qi Yue's saber he picked up in Changlin, he put Qi Yue's saber at home, took off the sword tassel and hung it on the own waist.

This sword spike was bought by Qi Yue when he went down the mountain to buy new year's goods during the New Year. It hadn't been hung for two days before the owner disappeared.

Shen Jinyu received all the things about Qi Yue in the mansion, as if Qi Yue would definitely come back if these things were there.

Jian Sui is Qi Yue's favorite lake blue, with glass beads and thin tassels hanging underneath. Shen Jinyu groped for the glass beads, secretly saddened.

After drinking for three rounds, the proprietress just came in to entertain them. The proprietress knew Xue Ye's identity, and the person who came with him must be a nobleman of extraordinary status. As soon as she entered the door, she was attracted by the superior Shen Jinyu.

He sat there quietly, his eyes indifferent and distant, like a god who ignored all living beings.

"How is your drink, my lords? Are you satisfied?" The proprietress withdrew her gaze, turned her head and told the boy, and the boy took his orders and went down.

"Hey, Mrs. Mo, you're here... hiccup!" Xue Ye was already drunk, he hiccupped, grabbed Boss Mo's sleeve and straightened up, "Boss Mo's dress today is so pretty."

"Look at what Mr. Xue said, don't tell me my old clothes don't look good?" Boss Mo scolded.

"It looks good, it looks good," Xue Ye said foolishly.

"Hey, it's the first time for this lord to come, it's the first time I've seen you." Boss Mo asked Shen Jinyu with a smile.

"That's Lord Shen, the Lieutenant of the Potian Army who just took over, and he came with us for the first time today," Zheng Li, who was still conscious, explained.

"No wonder, this is the first time I have seen such a handsome adult." Boss Mo covered his mouth shyly with a handkerchief, "Today is the first time Master Shen is here. As a meeting gift, I will give you a pot of wine. But I don’t even want to drink the good wine that my servant keeps privately.”

Song Yao was excited when he heard about the good wine, "Okay, let's enjoy Master Shen's honor today, and also taste the good wine that Boss Mo has privately kept."

"Mo Shu, bring the wine," Boss Mo yelled at the door. As soon as the words fell, a young girl brought the wine. While bowing his head, the bangs on his forehead covered his eyes, but did not cover his watery face.

"Yo, Boss Mo still has such a beautiful maid?" Someone noticed Mo Shu and looked him up and down.

Boss Mo gave the man an annoyed look, "What maid, this is my own sister, named Mo Shu."
