Chapter 176, Zongmen Assembly
At night, the rain in Nalan City was getting heavier and heavier.
Qi Wufei was too lazy to leave when he went out. He remembered the dinner that Tulaun asked someone to send in when he was on the resort villa, so he picked up the phone and planned to enjoy the delivery service in the hotel, but when he asked about the price, he immediately became timid.
It’s so expensive. No matter how delicious it is, can it be as delicious as the little fox? Go to tmd!
He changed his clothes, held an umbrella, went to the alley behind the Jinsheng Palace Hotel, and found a small restaurant that was quite clean and looked pretty good. Due to the rain, there were not many diners and the boss was very enthusiastic.
Qi Wufei decided to reward himself well, ordered four dishes, one soup, a bottle of wine, and had a delicious meal. The price of this meal was not as good as an ordinary dish in the Jinsheng Palace Hotel.
After dinner, he went back to the hotel to rest. He did not hide his body until late at night and floated out of the window.
...
Duanmuwei returned home, and somehow remembered the fortune that Qi Wufei had calculated for Dongyue while having tea in the afternoon.
She wanted to know if Qi Wufei was good at it. The more she thought about it, the more curious she became, so she planned to go to Xueqinlou to see what happened. She didn't even care about her father Duanmu Cheng just called her to tell her about a big thing.
When she returned to Xueqin Tower, it was already the lights. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily, and the beautiful scenery of Xiangsi Lake was covered by the rain.
When Dongyue saw him come back, she asked, "Why is my eldest lady back? Do you think of the food at home being not delicious, and you think of coming to me for free?"
Duanmuwei said: "I didn't enjoy the afternoon tea, so I wanted to drink two more cups of tea made by Sister Dongyue."
Dongyue smiled and said, "You don't want to drink my tea, you want to see if Mr. Qi's fortunes are accurate, right?"
Duanmuwei said: "Don't worry about what I think, just say you don't care about my meal, right?"
Dongyue said: "Sure, of course! It is an honor for Xueqinlou to come to have dinner with the eldest lady of Duanmu family. How could I refuse?"
Duanmuwei said: "Stop coming! When your temper comes, the president can't enter your door."
Xueqinlou is not a pure teahouse, it is a high-end private club. In addition to drinking tea, you can also eat.
Dongyue and Duanmuwei had already been ripe. Knowing her taste, they ordered people to go down and prepare the meal.
The two returned to the terrace on the third floor, enjoying the lake and clouds, while chatting while eating melon seeds.
Dongyue asked Duanmuwei and Qi Wufei how they met.
Duanmuwei said: "You may not believe it when you say it. I met him when I played mahjong."
Dongyue burst out laughing and said, "What's the point of not believing in this? Miss Duanmu has always been willful and perverse in her behavior. I don't find it strange no matter what you do. But Mr. Qi doesn't look like a disciple."
Duanmuwei looked stern and pretended to be angry, "I heard you say it seems like I am a disciple."
He also said, "I can't tell who Qi Wufei is. Sometimes he looks very honest, sometimes... he is very dishonest."
Dongyue asked: "What else have you done besides playing mahjong?"
Duanmuwei talked about Qi Linshan’s experience last time. When talking about Zhu Taichun’s part, both of them burst into laughter.
Dongyue said: "I heard that Zhu Taichun is from Gao Laozhuang. In short, his ancestors are kind to your ancestors. Are you good to her like this?"
Duanmuwei said: "What does the matter between my ancestors and me? You can't marry me to him just because my ancestors received the favors of his ancestors."
Dongyue said: "Does Mr. Qi know his origin?"
Duanmuwei said: "I thought he knew it at first. After all, they were from the same unit, otherwise I wouldn't have used him as a shield. But later I realized that he might really not know."
Dongyue said: "Then you will hurt him. He didn't know that he had offended the people of the Zhu family, and he was afraid that life would be difficult in the future."
Duanmuwei said: "I'm worried about this too. So I've always felt embarrassed and wanted to be nicer to him, but he is honest and doesn't appreciate it at all. I don't know how to help him. I even warned Zhu Taichun specifically, telling him not to stumbling behind his back."
Dongyue said: "You shouldn't warn. The more you warn, the more unhappy the Zhu's heart will feel and the more hated Mr. Qi."
Duanmuwei said: "Oh, what should I do?"
Dongyue said: "Since it has happened, it is useless to think too much. They work in the same unit and there will be no direct conflict. Mr. Qi will soon know Zhu Taichun's identity. I believe that with his intelligence, he will not suffer any losses."
"Smart?" Duanmuwei said in confusion, "Why didn't I see that he is smart? He is a bit stupid and cute."
Dongyue covered her mouth and smiled, "You might as well just say that he is very cute in your heart."
Duanmuwei blushed and said, "Where is cute?"
Dongyue said: "Okay OK OK, tell me what happened later? I heard that you encountered the big snake demon."
Duanmuwei said the subsequent incident in a complete and complete manner.
After listening to it, Dongyue looked into the distance and fell into deep thought, as if she was savoring this classic battle.
Duanmuwei reached out and shook her eyes and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you stunned?"
Dongyue came back to her senses and said, "So, Mr. Qi, who is so cute and stupid in your heart, really knows how to tell fortunes?"
Duanmuwei said: "Yes, so I came back, and I wanted to see if he would calculate it for you today."
Dongyue smiled and said, "You can't tell me, you're not talking about it. You said that you didn't have enough tea. It turned out that it was not for him!"
"It's not for him, I'm for you! If he tells you the fortunes well, it's okay if he's sure. If he talks nonsense, see how I'll deal with her!"
Duanmuwei said with her fist clenched.
The two women were talking and laughing, and they finished supper.
It was getting darker and the rain was getting heavier.
Xueqinlou was originally a private club, and there were not many people coming a day, and there would be no one coming on this rainy night.
They waited until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Duanmuwei took a look at the time and suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, it's so late. I almost forgot that my dad just called me and told me to stay at home honestly these days and not to run around."
Dong Yueqi said: "Why?"
"I heard that it seemed that Tulaun, who was inspecting the state government, disappeared in the Kingdom of Women."
"What does it have to do with your stay at home if he disappears in the Kingdom of Women?"
"The carp spirit appeared in Jieyang Mountain, the daughter country, the flower-faced raccoon appeared in Qilin Mountain, and the magic money appeared in Honggu County again. Now Tulaweng is missing. My father said it is hard to say whether there is a causal connection between these things, so I told me to be careful.
Moreover, that Tulaun was a greedy villain. He heard from somewhere that there was a nine soul-stripping grass in Qilin Mountain. He thought it was taken away by our family and came to test my dad."
"So that's the case. Then be careful and never be implicated. Tulaun is not only an official in the prefecture, but also a disciple of Miyun Sect."
Duanmuwei snorted and said, "Hmph, what about Miyun Sect? Are we afraid of them? But he is the Standing Committee of the Sect Management Committee and hopes not to affect this year's Sect Conference."
"Hey, don't you always disdain to attend such meetings?"
"This year will be different. The above attaches great importance to it. Excellent sects will gain a lot of resources. I heard that Wuzhuang Temple, as the ancestral court of the Earth Immortals, holds Niu Er from the Earth Immortal Sect in Xiniu Hezhou. In order to attract this sect's sect, Zhen Yuanzi took out three ginseng fruits, as well as gifts from the Three Mountains and Ten Islands, and the Dragon Palace Underworld. With these foundations, the prizes set by the Heavenly Court will not be shabby."
Duanmuwei said, "This time, I didn't find what we wanted in Qilin Mountain. Grandpa said that he had to go to the sect conference to take a try."
