"Young master, I still have urgent matters to attend to. I'll go and take care of it first." Seeing that the young master did not keep him, Shopkeeper Jin quickly suggested to leave.
"Yes." Zhou Ao Xuan responded indifferently, he stood up and went to welcome Chen Ziming and his wife, "Greetings Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen."
"You're welcome, Aunt. Your nephew has already been prepared. Let Uncle Chen have a taste. "
When he mentioned the West Lake Dragon Well, Guan Shuyuan's face immediately turned red. She opened her mouth wanting to explain in embarrassment, but when she saw Chen Nianran sitting down with a straight face, she did not dare make a sound.
From start to finish, Zhou Ao Xuan acted as if he hadn't seen Chen Nianran. Her attitude had never let Guan Shuyuan down.
In contrast, Chen Nianran was extremely calm. After performing the proper etiquette for Zhou Ao Xuan, he sat down naturally, took the teacup, made tea, made tea, and filled it.
She had received a gift from an elder who loved to drink tea in her previous life, so it was quite easy for her to do these tasks.
After the tea was served, Chen Nianran smiled and picked up a cup of tea, respectfully handing it over to Zhou Aoxuan, "Fifth Young Master, last time, when the girl lost her dance skills, I said that I would serve the girl well. Today, the girl will fulfill her promise, and serve the Fifth Young Master until the end of the meal. Let us first invite Fifth Young Master to drink some tea! "
Hearing her words, Guan Shuyuan came to a realization. Emotions, the little girl had lost because she wanted to be the servant girl of the Fifth Young Master for half a day. Fortunately, there was no need for them to give him the thousand taels of silver.
Zhou Aoxuan raised his gaze, his calm gaze landing on her face. His pair of deep black eyes seemed to look into the depths of her eyes.
His hand didn't move as he indifferently looked at her, causing Chen Nianran's originally assured mind to begin to waver. It couldn't be that this man didn't want to let her go, right?
She had made her own decisions to retreat and to advance. First, she had to bend her body to become a slave. Her goal was to force this young master to be magnanimous and not make things too difficult for her. As for her, she only needed to serve this meal properly.
However, this man didn't say anything. She really wasn't sure if he would let her go.
The tea leaves trembled slightly.
Chen Nianran tried her best to maintain the smile on her face, and her pair of gentle eyes looked at Zhou Aoxuan like this. In reality, that slightly trembling tea cup had long since not betrayed her inner world.
Just as they were trying to figure out how to take the initiative, Zhou Aoxuan wasn't the one who led them away so passively. Zhou Aoxuan finally moved. He raised his hands, and with his hands as white as white jade, he raised the teacup and said, "This tea tastes pretty good."
After seeing him accept the tea cup, Chen Nianran's heart finally dropped. This man didn't blame her, but he scared her enough.
Stingy, this guy is definitely a stingy existence.
"Thank you for your praise, young master. This is also the reason why the tea leaves and water are so good." Chen Nianran said as he stood behind him. She was already prepared to be a lass for half a day.
As soon as she stood up, Zhou Aoxuan raised his hand and pointed at a round, thin ball not too far away. It was a small ball that was specifically placed in a private room and served by a maid who came with him.
Chen Nianran followed his hand and carried the ball over. After thinking for a moment, she placed the ball behind him. Letting it out like this actually felt a bit wrong. This was because most maids, in order to conveniently serve their masters, would place the ball at their master's side. Of course, they would place it a little further back. After all, masters and servants were different. Unless the master insisted on the maid sitting around him, it would be a different story.
"Aunty, try this tea. There's also this Longan Soup. I heard it was delivered from the capital." Zhou Aoxuan smiled and greeted Guan Shuyuan, and with his other hand, he pointed to his side.
Chen Nianran was about to sit down, but after seeing Yue Yang's hand gesture, she had no choice but to get up and move the ball of light forward.
From this position, he had moved forward, but he was still two steps away from Zhou Aoxuan.
Zhou Aoxuan's hand stubbornly stopped at his side, his meaning clear: "I'll let you sit next to this young master!"
Chen Nianran was so angry that her teeth had shattered, but at this time, other than listening to him, it seemed like she had no other reason to resist.
As a result, she had no choice but to move the ball of light closer to Zhou Aoxuan.
Guan Shuyuan was called over by Zhou Ao Xuan, but she did not pay any more attention to her situation, and only politely nodded her head, "Fifth Young Master, you are too polite. "This old body will taste it now, then taste it …" She had never been with the nobles in her life. For people like Zhou Ao Xuan, they were considered one of the top figures in the entire Banana Town.
Regardless of his family background, just with his extraordinary demeanor and his normal character, many ordinary people would be able to exchange a few words with him. At that time, they would already have the ability to show off. Even though he was greeted politely by the Fifth Young Master, Guan Shuyuan was so overjoyed that he had fainted.
The look in Zhou Ao Xuan's eyes changed to that of an elder looking at his son-in-law.
As for Chen Ziming, he silently sat at the side and watched the interaction between the two, his eyebrows slightly knitted together.
As an elder, he naturally could not say anything about Chen Nianran. He was just worried that Zhou Ao Xuan wouldn't let Girl Ran go. Although the Fifth Young Master seemed like he was asking for the bet on that day, if the Young Master was not interested in the Girl Ran, would he really insist on asking for the right to serve him for half a day?
The answer was obviously impossible. As an elder, he would not speak carelessly to the outside world. Presumably, Zhou Aoxuan also knew that the two of them would not speak carelessly to each other, which was why he dared to arrange a banquet in such a manner, publicly asking Chen Nianran to serve him for half a day.
But, if the two of them were to continue fighting like this, what would happen in the future?
Just as his old wife had said, Zhou Aoxuan would most likely marry a woman from the Luo Family in the next few years. No matter what attitude Fifth Young Master had towards those surnamed Luo, at least one point was that he wanted to get married. Girl Ran wouldn't be able to enter their family!
Worry, if the Fifth Young Master had deep feelings for the Girl Ran, at that time, she would definitely take her in and raise her outside.
When he thought about this, Chen Ziming felt that the scene in front of him was extremely eye-catching.
The food would be served soon.
Chen Nianran secretly took a glance, she never thought that there would actually be a bear paw and a swan.
There was even a bowl of Black Dragon soup.
Even Chen Ziming and his wife had never heard of such a thing.
This feeling, this feeling, was extremely bad. Chen Nianran felt her scalp go numb. She felt that she probably shouldn't have asked that question. As for Zhou Aoxuan, he seemed to have been waiting for her to ask him for the name of the dish from the very beginning.
"Miss, this Black Dragon soup is actually a Chinese medicine. Specializing in the treatment of kidney yin deficiency, female deficiency, restlessness in the disease. "Especially for women, damp Yin is the most effective. Drinking more can regulate a woman's body and functions, strengthen the spleen and nourish the yin, and increase …" The waiter's face reddened, and he no longer dared to say anything else. Instead, he explained in a light tone, "Of course, although our dish is also supplemented with the Black Dragon soup, it has been added with things like black chicken, black phoenix, black scorpion, black fish, and black beans. The taste is pure. Normal people definitely won't be able to eat it."
Guan Shuyuan did not understand the waiter's slightly wrinkled words very well. However, she did understand that this was a dish that was beneficial for a woman to eat.
"About that, I'll have to trouble Fifth Young Master." She only thought that the Fifth Young Master was thinking for her sake and had specially ordered this soup for her. However, Chen Nianran stopped thinking this way. In her mind, there was only this one sentence: "I'm not at ease at all!"
The heck, what does this man mean? He was reminding her that as a woman, she should stay at home and not show her face. As long as it was related to her family, it would be fine!
This damned man, what was he thinking all day?
She no longer had anything to do with him, so she needed him to remind her that she had to settle down in her house! Pui! He will insist on not eating this so-called Black Dragon Soup in a while! The heck, this damnable man, after going to her home, he still insisted on going there all day.
"Auntie, don't be so courteous. If you like it, eat more. It will be more convenient in the future. This nephew will learn to invite aunty to eat more of these soup dishes."
As Zhou Ao Xuan spoke, he placed a bowl filled with all sorts of turtle soup in front of Guan Shuyuan, causing the honest woman to panic again.
After Zhou Aoxuan casually raised her hand, all of her modesty stopped at her mouth.
Following that, Zhou Aoxuan scooped up another bowl of wine and placed it in front of Chen Nianran, "Drink it."
Chen Nianran stared at the bowl of Black Dragon soup. Inside the bowl, there was a huge chicken head, a turtle head, a snake tail, and even a fish tail.
What was the meaning of this? He was giving her food. It felt like she was the servant that ate the leftover leftovers!
She took the bowl and put it aside, wanting to take the other dishes away. Thinking that today was Zhou Aoxuan's servant girl, the dish that was originally meant to be sent into the bowl turned a corner. Chopsticks and paws were sent stiffly into Zhou Aoxuan's bowl. Fifth Young Master, please! "
Zhou Aoxuan's lips curled up as he impolitely placed the chopsticks into his mouth.
He then grabbed a pair of bear paws for her, "Hey, why haven't you tasted the soup yet?"
He asked her a question when she placed it in her bowl.
Ye Zichen looked at her with a gaze full of reproach. Then he raised his eyebrows and saw that the man was about to flip out.
