Chapter 806: Swallow Back (3)
These ladies raised the cups in their hands one after another and toasted to Chu Qingli: "This first cup, we will all salute the princess first." ”
Chu Qingli also picked up the cup at hand, Cai Yu poured a glass of wine for Chu Qingli, Chu Qingli raised it and drank it, Chu Qingli was not worried about them directly doing things in the dish, not to mention doing things in this dish, the first of these ladies was suspected, and the second one Xiao Pan also had a legitimate reason to investigate this Qingtong teahouse, and then Chu Qingli had superb medical skills, so he was not afraid at all, since he came here, then he had a good meal.
The wine slid from An's throat into his stomach, and after drinking it, he still had the aroma of wine in his mouth, and Chu Qingli said, "This wine is good wine. ”
Mrs. Xiao smiled and explained: "The princess doesn't know, this is our unique wine in Yangzhou, and the whole Yangzhou has this Qingtong teahouse." ”
Chu Qingli continued to ask as if he was interested, "Oh? What is the name of this wine? ”
Mrs. Xiao replied with a hint of pride: "I will change to Qingtong wine, because it is only sold in this building, so it is called this." ”
Chu Qingli nodded with a clear look, and when Mrs. Xiao saw that Chu Qingli was no longer talking, she said with a hint of flattery: "The princess also tastes the dishes here, and the dishes here are also a must." ”
Chu Qingli picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, it was really good, she raised Diao's taste in King Mu's mansion, and the dishes here could also give her a surprising taste, which made Chu Qingli couldn't help but eat a few more bites, and Mrs. Xiao saw that Chu Qingli had eaten several bites in a row, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Chu Qingli stopped after eating a few bites, and then said to the ladies who were still looking at him: "You can eat too, you don't have to be polite." ”
Chu Qingli gave an order, and those ladies moved their chopsticks, and the scene looked peaceful, but Chu Qingli knew that it was not so simple.
Sure enough, Mrs. Li put down her chopsticks first and took the lead in speaking: "Princess, you just promised to tell us what the capital is like." ”
Hearing this, a dark light flashed in Chu Qingli's eyes, and he said in his heart: It's finally coming. Then Chu Qingli raised his head and put down the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "That's right, in fact, there is no good scenery in this capital, it's just the same people and the same house, it's just that Jiangnan is more delicate and graceful, and the capital is more magnificent and magnificent, so it's nothing." ”
Then Mrs. Li was waiting with anticipation for Chu Qingli to talk about the appearance of the capital, after all, her husband had been a magistrate in Jiangnan for almost twenty years, but anyone who was an official didn't want to be a Beijing official, so Mrs. Li also longed for the capital, so she felt that everything in the capital was good, but who knew that Chu Qingli said this, which made Mrs. Li's face full of disappointment, and directly retorted: "What the princess said, if you don't want to talk about it, you can not say it, why do you still directly say that the capital is no different from Jiangnan, this is too perfunctory for us." This Mrs. Li directly expressed the dissatisfaction in her heart.
However, before Chu Qingli could change his face, it was Mrs. Xiao who spoke first and scolded: "Mrs. Li! Watch the way you speak! ”
Mrs. Li immediately bowed her head to Chu Qingli and said respectfully: "The princess forgives me, I am sorry for the moment, and I ask the princess not to be angry." ”
Chu Qingli was already unhappy in his heart, but now that Mrs. Li did touch her moldy head directly, Chu Qingli didn't bother to pretend, and directly lowered his face, which gave people a sense of oppression as soon as Chu Qingli lowered his face.
Seeing this, Mrs. Xiao first glared at Mrs. Li viciously, and then hurriedly said to Chu Qingli: "Princess Calm your anger, this Mrs. Li has never been able to speak, please don't be surprised." ”
After Mrs. Xiao said this to Chu Qingli, she immediately shouted at Mrs. Li: "Mrs. Li is not going to ask the princess for her guilt!" ”
Mrs. Li immediately did so, stood up directly from the chair, walked to the middle and knelt down and said, "The princess forgives her sins!" The princess forgives her sins! ”
Chu Qingli looked at this scene, and smashed Mrs. Xiao's body, thinking that it seems that this Mrs. Xiao is Xiao Yuan's wife, and she is also quite prestigious among this group of ladies, everyone seems to be more afraid of Mrs. Xiao, she is a princess, thinking of this, Chu Qingli sneered in his heart, it seems that this Xiao Yuan is really a soil emperor in Jiangnan, otherwise this group of people will be the only one, and even Mrs. Xiao is very powerful.
Chu Qingli listened to Mrs. Li shouting for a while, and then withdrew her afterglow from Mrs. Xiao, and then slowly spoke: "But it's just a trivial matter, there's no need to be like this, sit back, today is our private gathering, don't be too nervous." ”
Mrs. Li responded when she heard Chu Qingli's words, and immediately wanted to get up, but she subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Xiao, and saw that Mrs. Xiao nodded invisibly, so Mrs. Li got up and sat back, this scene was all seen by Chu Qingli, and she couldn't help but feel more and more cold in her heart.
Such an episode made Ben Xiang's somewhat peaceful atmosphere fall into the freezing point again, and for a while, everyone was buried in eating and did not speak, but Mrs. Xiao opened her mouth to break the frozen atmosphere: "Princess, are you still angry?" Don't take it to heart, after all, none of us have ever been to the capital, so it is inevitable that we will yearn for the capital, which offends you, and we just want to know the customs of the capital, I just hope that the princess will not be worried. ”
This Mrs. Xiao's words are full of yearning for the capital, what makes Chu Qing angry when she leaves, it seems that if Chu Qingli doesn't say anything again, it will really be Chu Qingli stingy, and he doesn't even want to say such a thing.
After Chu Qingli understood this, he showed a smile: "What Mrs. Xiao said is that the capital is indeed nothing, if you really yearn for the capital so much, just pick a time to go to the capital to have a visit, and then I will sit in the capital to entertain you." ”
Chu Qingli's words were very sarcastic, knowing that they were all officials' wives, and they had always followed their husbands, and they were also where their husbands were, how could it be as easy as Chu Qingli said.
This group of ladies was faintly jealous of Chu Qingli in their hearts, but because the other party was Princess Mu, and their husbands wanted to slap King Mu, they had always been respectful to Chu Qingli, and they only invited her to a banquet today, but what Chu Qingli said today made them uncomfortable.
That Mrs. Li, in particular, had just knelt down to apologize to Chu Qingli in public, she had always walked sideways in Yangzhou City, one person was above 10,000 people, how could she have been insulted like this, and she held a grudge against Chu Qingli in her heart.
