129, eavesdropping
"It's refreshing!" Zhuang Li smiled, "It's reassuring to deal with you!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I can't come out for too long!" Although Xu Shu seemed impatient, the smile on her face did not diminish. She was obviously in a good mood.
Zhuang Li sat down opposite Xu Shu and pointed behind Xu Shu, "There will be someone coming to the private room next to us later. Please help me hear what they said?"
Xu Shu frowned slightly, "Why don't you listen? No one can see you through the wall!"
Zhuang Li covered his lips and coughed, "They are also martial arts practitioners. If I get close to them, they will definitely notice it. You will be different. You can hear it even if you sit here!"
This is not a difficult task for Xu Shu, "Okay, but if I can't blame me if I can't hear you!"
"That's natural!" Zhuang Li agreed, but he didn't believe that Xu Shu wouldn't hear it with his ears.
"Come on, let's have something to eat first. This banished immortal building is a rare place to book. I finally came here, so I have to eat more!"
Zhuang Li pushed open the door and told the waiter to serve the food.
"There are your favorite lotus leaf-stewed duck tongue, osmanthus fish strips, and of course their signature—" Zhuang Li patted the wine jar in front of him, "The gods are drunk!"
Xu Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't smell this alcohol. If I delay the business, I can't blame me!"
Zhuang Li looked at the jar of wine with a pity, and said with annoyance and confusion, "I remember you can drink some fruit wine, all of them are wine. This wine is so strong that it's fine if you can't drink it, why can't you smell it?"
"Actually, it's not that I can't smell it!" Xu Shu lowered her head for a long time and suddenly spoke slowly, "I just don't like it..."
Zhuang Li held the wine jar and said curiously, "Why don't you like it?"
"A few years ago, this wine was not called Shenxianzui, but it was called Chun Rim at that time!"
Zhuang Li knew this, "I know that Shenxianzui was brewed by improving the brewing technology from Chun Rimian. It has a more mellow texture and a longer aroma. Of course, the price is several times more expensive. Although the price is expensive, more people buy it!"
"When my seventh brother was having a full moon banquet, my father ordered a hundred jars of Chunrimian from the Exiled Immortal Tower to entertain guests at the full moon banquet. But later my grandfather sent the top scholar Hong, so these hundred jars of Chunrimian were placed in the wing room of De'an Hall..."
De'an Hall... The fire in De'an Hall that year took away Xu Shu's eyes.
Xu Shu stroked the corner of her eyes, her voice was low and hoarse, "I wanted to run when the fire burned, but the door was locked from outside. I pushed it desperately, but I couldn't push it open. I was afraid of being anxious. The fire was roasted on my face, and it was hot. The wine jar in the next room broke all over the floor, and the strong smell of alcohol filled the whole room, so that my eyes couldn't open... After that, as long as I smelled the smell of alcohol, I would involuntarily think of the fire..."
Zhuang Li felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. When he looked at the wine jar in his arms, he felt bored. He secretly regretted not mentioning Xu Shu's sadness, but he didn't know how to comfort Xu Shu for a while. The waiter came to serve the food. Zhuang Li relieved the embarrassment by taking care of Xu Shu as he took his seat.
Halfway through the meal, three or two figures swayed by outside the door. Zhuang Li immediately looked over. Xu Shu held her breath and heard that they had entered the private room next door. It seemed that the person Zhuang Li was waiting for came, so she gently put down her chopsticks and paid attention to the movements next door. Zhuang Li also changed his face to a serious look.
"Shenzhi, it's rare that you can stay for so long this time. You must try the special dishes of major restaurants in Beijing!" One of them said, in the voice of a young man.
"I'm afraid there's not much time, today I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule!" The man, who was called Shenzhi, spoke, and the voice was also the man's voice, but it was more calm than the first person's voice. Moreover, this voice made Xu Shu feel very familiar and couldn't help but "see" Zhuang Li.
"Then why not take a few more free time? There is no place I am not familiar with in Beijing. I can take you wherever you want to go!" The young man smiled and encouraged him.
Shinzhi chuckled, "You should be lazy and don't pull me up, I have something to do!"
The young man defended himself, "Who is lazy? Who is lazy? What does it mean that you have something to do? It seems that I don't have something to do!"
"You have something to do?" Shen Zhi's tone slightly raised, and Xu Shu almost imagined that he should have raised his eyebrows gently at this moment, "Your business is to be angry with your father, act coquettishly with your mother, and then..."
"Hey hey hey..." The young man was anxious, "You are really a man. You don't slap people in the face, and you don't reveal your shortcomings. I kindly invite you to drink, why are you so much harming me!"
Shenzhi smiled softly, "You are too old, don't always be like a child!"
The young man muttered, "I understand! You are younger than me, come and teach me a lesson too! Go and drink your wine!"
The voice of speaking gradually became smaller, and the sound of raising cups and changing cups came.
Zhuang Li couldn't help but push Xu Shu and asked in a low voice, "What did they say?"
Xu Shu shook her head, "I'm talking nonsense, and I didn't say anything important!"
Zhuang Li was a little disappointed and was about to say something else, but Xu Shu suddenly booed at him.
"Shenzhi, have you heard of the corruption case in Jiannandao?"
Shenzhi nodded, "I heard a little!"
The young man lowered his voice and said, "I heard from my elder brother that the Liang family is also involved!"
"I know!" Shen Zhi's expression was calm and he was not surprised.
The young man was depressed, "Brother told you everything, but he wanted to hide it from me. If I hadn't eavesdropped on you, I wouldn't have known that you were back!"
"Second brother, this matter is of great importance, and you must not mention it to others!" Shen Zhi's voice suddenly became serious!
As if he was shocked by the second brother, the young man nodded blankly, "Don't worry, I will never mention it to anyone!" After saying that, he patted his chest, and his expression gradually relaxed, and he sighed, "I didn't expect that more than ten years have passed, and you actually came back secretly. If I hadn't heard my father call you, I really couldn't believe it! It's a pity that you have to go back..." The young man's voice fell down again.
"One day I will come back openly!" Shen Zhi's voice was low and firm.
The young man nodded, "I believe in you!"
Shen Zhi laughed, "It's not that easy. So many years have passed, so it's not easy to come back!"
"You can do it!" The young man's tone was filled with a certainty, "Didn't my father say that this time it was an opportunity or something, and the Liang family was going to be unlucky!"
"You have heard a lot?" Shen Zhi was slightly surprised.
