Chapter 206： Zui Xian Tower

Chapter 206 Zuixian Tower

"I originally wanted to come over by myself, but my mother insisted on sending a greeting card and said she wanted to pay a serious visit to thank you for taking care of me along the way." Brother Shen said helplessly.

Gu Mingda immediately understood the cause and effect: "Is your mother the eldest princess?"

Brother Shen nodded. Along the way, he also understood the character of the Gu family very well, and explained: "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but my family always told me not to reveal my identity easily when I go out. If I don't obey, I will Mom will really hit me.”

No one in the Gu family cared about this matter with him. After all, no one in the beginning wanted to get benefits from him. They just wanted to thank him for his help at the dock and the seasickness pills.

Now the Gu family is in a dilemma as to how to entertain the eldest princess.

"Don't worry, my mother is easy to talk to. She only has two children, my sister and I. It's too late to thank you, so I won't embarrass you." Brother Shen said firmly.

Even if he said this, the Gu family was not relieved. After all, when the eldest princess came to the house, tea and snacks could not be taken care of. This was different from Duke Xian's visit. After all, Duke Xian's house came to apologize, and the Gu family occupied Make sense.

"I'll go to Sun's house and ask Brother Sun how to arrange this matter." Gu Mingda's attitude was calm and he did not cover up the blind spots he touched.

Brother Shen was still shouting from the side: "Why bother, just ask me?"

But when everyone thought about Brother Shen's unreliability, no one wanted to talk about it.

Niu Niu was still kind-hearted and divided the pork **** in her purse between two pieces for him: "Brother Shen, I'll treat you to something delicious. It's an adult's business, so we kids won't cause trouble."

Brother Shen was seventeen years old. Hearing this, he didn't feel anything was wrong. Instead, he happily accepted his identity as a child. After taking a bite of the pork jerky, his eyes lit up.

"Where did this fresh food come from, Niuniu, why didn't you taste it on the boat before?" Brother Shen kept asking.

Niuniu was very proud when she saw that her snacks were loved by her friends. She was about to blurt out talking about Shuying, but then she remembered that her mother would not let her mention Shuying outside.

"It's a secret! I can't tell you where it comes from." Niu Niu said seriously,

Brother Shen quickly finished the two pieces of pork breasts, but he still felt it was not enough. He said, "Can you give me some more? I'll buy them with money. I'm going home. I'm very rich now."

Niu Niu is always very kind to her friends. When she heard this, she said: "You really like to eat, then I will give you all mine."

Niu Niu handed a bag of pork **** to Brother Shen with a pained face.

After Brother Shen took the pork breast, he said carelessly: "I'm not taking advantage of you in vain. I'm going to be a host tonight and invite you to dinner at Zuixian Tower. In two days, I will take you to have a nice walk around the capital."

Niu Niu had been listening to him talking about "Zui Xian Tower" on the boat, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Now Brother Shen was proud and said, "Brother will take you to taste all kinds of delicacies in the capital from now on. There are many delicious and fun things in the capital."

Zuixian Tower is indeed very impressive. It is located on the most prosperous street in the capital. It is six stories high. Brother Shen directly booked a private room on the top floor. Standing there, he can overlook the scenery of the entire capital.

It's just that it's early spring now, and it's still extremely cold. The cold wind blows on people's faces, which hurts. It's high on the sixth floor and the wind is strong. No matter how good the scenery is, I don't dare to open the window to see more.

Brother Shen looked at this situation and couldn't help but regret: "If I had known this, I should have chosen a lower floor."

Although there is no such scenery on the lower floors, there is no such strong wind and you can see the lively street scene. It is not like now, where the human voices are far away and it seems too quiet.

Brother Shen is an unreliable person. Everyone is used to whatever he does, and no one with low emotional intelligence says that this private room is not good.

Gu Zhao and Niu Niu, on the other hand, were not afraid of the cold wind at all. They stood in the wind vent and looked outside, their eyes full of curiosity. "There's a taller building over there!" Gu Zhao suddenly pointed to the towering tower to the east and shouted.

Brother Shen explained casually: "That's the Yinfeng Tower in the palace."

The two children's eyes were wide open, and they seemed to be very curious about that place.

Brother Shen explained a few more words and said: "Many years ago, His Majesty dreamed of a phoenix in his arms. After he ascended the throne, he dreamed of it twice more and built this tall building to attract the phoenix."

Seeing that the two children were staring at him seriously and chatting happily, he added a few more words and said: "Everyone in the palace said that although this building is used to attract phoenixes, it is actually for seeking children. Your Majesty has long said that Now, whoever can give birth to a royal heir will be made queen."

Gu Mingda on the side frowned slightly after hearing this. Brother Shen said it carelessly when he said such things about the emperor behind his back. When he returned, he would tell the two children not to talk nonsense outside.

Niu Niu asked curiously: "After building the building, did you give birth to an heir?"

Brother Shen shook his head and said, "The women in the harem only have to take medicine for food, and they haven't even given birth to a son or a half."

The emperor is nearly forty-five years old this year. No heir has been born for many years, and he has basically given up the idea of ​​having children. Now the focus of the entire capital is which clan member the emperor will adopt as his heir.

"Then this building was not built in vain? I don't know how much money was spent." Niu Niu sighed casually.

When Gu Mingda heard this, he was so frightened that he almost covered his daughter's mouth on the spot.

"My dear, don't say such nonsense." Gu Mingda warned.

Niu Niu immediately said obediently: "Okay, Niu Niu won't say anything."

Brother Shen still looked careless and said, "Uncle Gu, we are all our own people here, even if we say a few words, it won't be a problem."

Gu Mingda was not as optimistic as he was. After all, the others were not the emperor's nephews. Brother Shen said this in front of the emperor, so the emperor probably wouldn't care about him.

The dishes at Zuixianlou are indeed exquisite.

But Gu Zhao smacked his chin and said, "This braised food platter is not as delicious as ours."

Gu Mingda glared at him and thought to himself that this stupid boy is really a straight-headed person. When others treat him to a meal, he only praises him, and there is no reason to criticize him.

"There are so many delicious foods and you still can't stop your mouth?" Zhang Yunniang asked her son expressionlessly, reaching out and hitting him **** the head.

Gu Zhao covered his head with an aggrieved look on his face and said, "I'm not ready to let anyone tell the truth."

They just met Brother Shen. Anyone else would have been unhappy. Brother Shen was not displeased, but his eyes lit up. He kept asking: "Do you still have braised food at home? I'm on the boat." I haven’t tasted it either. Is it really that delicious? You must let me try it too.”

Brother Shen thought of the pork jerky that Niuniu gave him to taste, and the Gu family's braised pork must be particularly delicious too!

He thought to himself that he must persuade his mother to have dinner at Gu's house tomorrow, so that he could also taste the good food from Gu's house!
