Chapter 287

"One of them, Shopkeeper Yu, of the Di shop located in Nanshu Hutong in the south of the city, had a good relationship with Shopkeeper Liu. Shopkeeper Liu was suddenly killed, and Shopkeeper Yu wanted to know the whole story. Official Wu Tuiguan, who happened to be in charge of the case, was an upright and good official, so the money Knowing that the progress of the case was blocked, I thought about it and asked me for help."

"That's it." Jiang Ziyao picked up the chopsticks, "Sister Yao, let's eat quickly. The food won't taste good when it's cold. There's also Yu Ye Nong and Ner Hong. Let's have a good drink!"

"Miss……"

"Don't spoil the fun!"

As soon as Xiru opened her mouth to persuade him to drink, he told Jiang Ziyao to scold him back.

"Baozhu, you and Xiru don't have to wait, go and eat." Meng Shisan said.

As usual, in addition to the large table in the guest room, she also ordered a small table when she came upstairs.

While the two were talking, the waiter had brought a small table of food and placed it beside the bead curtain outside the guest seat, along with two stools.

Baozhu agreed, Xiru, who had just been forcibly silenced, did not dare to move and looked to her young lady for instructions.

Jiang Ziyao said: "Sister Tingyao, go and eat!"

Baozhu and Xiru then sat down at the small table and started eating.

Halfway through the meal, after waiting for a while, Jiang Ziyao saw that Meng Shisan had told her from the beginning that no one had arrived yet, so she couldn't help but ask again: "Sister Yao, you said you don't want to tell the progress of the case first, but you still need everyone to arrive." Besides, I wonder who is waiting?"

Just as Meng Shisan was about to answer, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Baozhu stood up and opened the door, and soon the master and servant Meng Meijing came in.

"Sister!" Meng Meili walked directly into the guest seat and sat next to Meng Shisan.

As a result, she and Jiang Ziyao sat on the left and right of Meng Shisan.

Meng Shisan nodded: "It just so happens that Yao'er and I haven't finished our dinner yet. If you are willing, we can eat together."

The implication is that if you don't dislike it, eat together; if you dislike it, sit aside and wait.

"Okay!" If it were anyone else, Meng Meili would naturally dislike it, but if it were Meng Shisan, she wouldn't dislike it!
It happened that she didn't have the evening meal at Wu's house. When she returned to the Meng Mansion and heard Ruyi in her courtyard telling her about Meng Shisan's explanation, she turned around and left the house again, and went straight to Baolai Tower without even having the evening meal.

The eldest sister's words undoubtedly played into her heart.

As for the half-eaten evening meal, because Jiang Ziyao wanted to entertain Meng Shisan, a table of delicacies with eight dishes and two soups, not to mention the extra Meng Meili, was enough for three more people.

Therefore, even though Meng Shisan and Jiang Ziyao were half full, the table full of food still remained untouched.

Meng Meili came here on an empty stomach. Seeing the table full of Baolailou's signature dishes, her appetite was whetted. She picked up the third set of bowls and chopsticks she had prepared and ate her meal without forgetting to smile. The author said to Jiang Ziyao: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for your hospitality."

When Ruyi told her about it, he also told Xing'er in Taichen Courtyard that the eldest sister had promised to wait for her at Baolai House because the eldest sister had been invited by Miss Jiang to have dinner at Baolai House.

She followed the eldest sister here, and she had a good meal, so she had to say thank you in advance.

The most important thing is that she must not be rude and make her eldest sister feel embarrassed because of her. Otherwise, the eldest sister will probably never get close to her again.

After finally winning a little favor from the eldest sister, how could it be ruined by a late dinner?
Absolutely not!

"Second Miss Meng, you're so polite." Jiang Ziyao really didn't expect that the person Meng Shisan said she wanted to wait for was actually Meng Meili. She had already heard that the two young ladies in the second room of the Meng Mansion were not on good terms.

But now, she asked sister Yao, but sister Yao called Miss Meng over. What on earth is going on?
It seemed that she had to find another private time to ask Sister Yao.As soon as Meng Meijing sat down, Ji Xiang also sat down at Baozhu Xiru's small table and started eating.

Unlike Meng Meili and Jiang Ziyao who complained about tonight's evening meal, Meng Shisan continued to eat indifferently. She didn't put down her bowls and chopsticks until she was full and drunk.

Jiang Ziyao also finished eating, and was the second to put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Meng Meili wanted to put down her bowls and chopsticks, but she came late and was not full yet, so she was a little embarrassed.

Meng Shisan saw the hesitation on Meng Meijing's face and said, "Nothing, just eat first before talking."

"Sister Yao is right, Miss Meng, don't be in a hurry, just eat slowly." Jiang Ziyao agreed.

Meng Jingmei listened to Sister Yao for a while, and then thought of the first sister calling Jiang Ziyao Yao'er. She immediately felt that the delicious food in her mouth no longer tasted good.

She didn't know that just a short period of time had passed, and the relationship between the eldest sister and Jiang Ziyao, which was originally a kick and a whip, had evolved into such an intimate term for each other.

"Sister, I'm full too, let's get down to business," she said.

Meng Shisan could tell that Meng Meijing was actually not full yet, but since Meng Meijing said she was full, she didn't say anything else, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Eating faster at the small table.

The three of them, Baozhu, are all the master's maids, and they often go out with him. They have long since developed the ability to eat and drink anytime, anywhere, and eat and drink quickly.

The waiter Yi Que quickly came up and cleared away the leftovers from the big and small tables.

As soon as Yi Que left, the door to the private room was closed again.

There were only two pots of wine and three wine glasses left on the table. Meng Meili, the youngest of the three, cleverly picked up the wine pot made from Yuye and filled the three empty wine glasses.

She and Jiang Ziyao had only heard each other by name before. Although they did not interact with each other on weekdays, they had met a few times, but they had never sat face to face to eat and drink together. To say that there was no grudge or grudge, it was true, but because Because of their respective reputations outside, they also dislike each other.

Jiang Ziyao had long heard that Meng Meimei was very scheming at a young age and always pretended to be annoying. Meng Meimei heard about Jiang Ziyao's reputation as a female bully and felt that she was vulgar and unworthy of being with her.

Therefore, before tonight, the two of them were not only unfamiliar with each other, they were even somewhat conflicted about each other.

To what extent is there resistance?

For example, if Meng Shisan hadn't been sitting in the middle of the gathering at Baolai Tower tonight, they would never have been able to sit together. They had definitely seen each other and acted as if they hadn't. .

Not to mention sitting together for dinner, talking to each other, and having a drink together.

What makes them so harmonious is that the things Meng Shisan told them to inquire about were the same thing.

Meng Shisan picked up the wine glass and took a sip first to taste the taste of the jade liquid brew. He felt it was very good and worthy of being the top of Baolailou's famous wines, and then drank it all in two sips.

Meng Meili wanted to fill Meng Shisan's empty wine glass again, but she didn't expect that this time she was a little slower, letting Jiang Ziyao take the lead.

Jiang Ziyao pretended not to see Meng Meili's surprised face when she didn't get the jug, and diligently filled it up for Meng Shisan: "Sister Yao thinks it tastes good, then I'll call for another jug. Xiru..."

Meng Shisan stopped him and said, "No need. Whether it's Yu Ye brewing or Nuer Hong, we can just taste it tonight. Don't drink too much."
