Chapter 15 Jealousy
Because of this episode, the next one was a bit dull, Fang Zhuoyun wanted to explain to Shen Qingzi that he was not like what Zhang Ziquan said, but he couldn't talk about it.The dishes in Zuixiaolou were indeed delicious, and Shen Qingzi ate them with gusto. Fang Zhuoyun played tricks on Fang Qingruo, signaling Fang Qingruo to speak.

"Sister Qingzi, how is it? It tastes good. I heard that Ji Ruzhang personally invited the chef here!" Fang Qingruo blinked at Shen Qingzi.

"En!" Shen Qingzi nodded and said, "That's right, why don't you eat it?" She looked calm, as if she wasn't affected by what happened just now.

Seeing Shen Qingzi's appearance, Fang Zhuoyun tried to explain: "Actually, what Zhang Ziquan said is not true, what do I have to do with that Lianyan girl?"

Shen Qingzi smiled slightly, looked at Fang Zhuoyun and said, "It's said that it's someone who has nothing to do with it, how can I take it to heart, don't waste a good meal!"

"That's right, brother, it's rare for sister Qingzi to come to Zuixiaolou. This cook is no worse than the one in Dingguohou's mansion, so don't forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law!" Fang Qingruo hurriedly said as if to smooth things over.

Fang Zhuoyun just gave up and didn't care about this matter, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart. She said she didn't care about it, which meant that she trusted him. Could she be considered interested in herself?
After finishing the meal, the food was taken away, and the waiter in the store served tea and snacks one after another, but the last one to appear was Ji Ruzhang himself.

When Fang Qing saw Ji Ruzhang, if Fang Qing's eyes lit up, she would stand up.

"I think today is Miss Shen's first visit to Zuixiao Pavilion. As the owner, I should come and see it anyway!" Ji Ruzhang said as usual.

When Fang Zhuoyun saw Ji Ruzhang, his expression softened, and he smiled and said, "Brother Ji, I made you laugh just now!"

Ji Ruzhang smiled and said, his eyes swept across Shen Qingzi's face, just now her indifference always made him feel differently in his heart. "Zhuo Yun, you have always been straightforward, and you haven't changed after all these years!"

"That's right, brother, really, it's not good to scare sister Qingzi!" Fang Qing didn't care about her brother if she saw Ji Ruzhang!
Shen Qingzi smiled slightly at the moment and said: "It's just a trivial matter, everyone, don't pursue it anymore!"

"Hee hee, brother, sister Qingzi is helping you talk!" Fang Qingruo said with a smile.

Shen Qingzi just lowered her head, as if shy, and Fang Zhuoyun was also a little embarrassed, sneaking a glance at Shen Qingzi from the corner of her eyes.

Seeing this, Ji Ruzhang didn't say much, just opened the food box on the table and said, "Would you like to try this after-dinner snack? I specially found this master from Jiangnan, and his craftsmanship is excellent!"

"What is this, why haven't I seen it before!" Fang Qingruo's surprised voice came, and Shen Qingzi raised her head.

In one of the plates, there are white balls, revealing the red inside.

"Try it!" Ji Ruzhang said.

Fang Qingruo was not reserved at the moment, so she picked up one and put it in her mouth to nibble, the expression on her face slowly changed. After eating, the maid at the side brought a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth. "Sweet and sour, it's like candied haws. Ji Ruzhang, you are so stingy, take out this candied haws covered in foam!" After eating, Fang Qingruo did not forget to tease Ji Ruzhang.

Candied haws, Shen Qingzi's eyes were slightly taken aback, candied haws are not unusual at all, they are everywhere in the streets and alleys!Her thoughts drifted back to her childhood. That year, the boy next door touched an oiled paper bag and lay on the wall, crying under the wall.It was the first time in her life that she saw the sweet and sour candied haws, which made her smile through tears.

"It's called Tang Xueqiu, don't you think it's more delicious than candied haws?" Ji Ruzhang said.

"That's true!" Fang Qingruo smiled and picked up another one. "Sister Qingzi, try it too!"

Shen Qingzi motioned to Qiuyue to help her pick one up. After putting it into her mouth, it really felt sweet. After biting it, it had the sourness of hawthorn. In fact, the taste in her memory has been forgotten, and it remains It was just the initial emotion.

Naturally, Fang Zhuoyun didn't like sweets, so seeing Shen Qingzi's melancholy expression, he asked, "What's the matter, isn't it to your liking?"

"No, when Sister Qingruo talked about candied haws, it reminded me of when I was in the nunnery, every time Master went down the mountain, he would bring me snacks, and this candied haws is still brought every time!" Shen Qingzi's tone was a little low!

Everyone knew about Shen Qingzi growing up in Biyun Nunnery. Hearing her talk, everyone couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. After all, she was the eldest lady of Dingguohoufu, but unexpectedly she was so pitiful since she was a child.

"Today is really an eye-opener. I never thought there would be such an interesting restaurant in Beijing!" Shen Qingzi changed her words, and said while looking at Ji Ruzhang, as if she wanted to see her familiar memories in him.

"It's just an interest, most people only think that I'm not doing my job properly!" Ji Ruzhang said casually.

"If you can act with your heart, isn't it a good thing?" Shen Qingzi said, really curious why he would deviate from his original intention. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, isn't it to be a pillar of the country?
Ji Ruzhang smiled, and said with tea instead of wine: "Since Miss Shen said so, Ruzhang toasts you with tea instead of wine, and act with heart, there is no one in this world who can act with heart!"

Shen Qingzi didn't refuse, and lightly raised her teacup as a response!
Fang Zhuoyun was a little nervous, why did he think Shen Qingzi was different from Ji Ruzhang?When I was young, Ji Ruzhang was considered good friends, but as I got older, especially three years ago, when Ji Ruzhang went out and came back to open a restaurant, it gradually drifted away, and then he went out to study again, and gradually faded away !He knew that his younger sister liked Ji Ruzhang, after all, he was the son of the Yushi family, and his father didn't object to it, and he was even more happy to see it succeed, but it was fine for his younger sister to like Ji Ruzhang, so naturally he would not stop him.He looked at Ji Ruzhang again, but he didn't see anything in Ji Ruzhang, so he decided that he hoped it was just his own illusion!

It didn't take long before Ji Ruzhang had something to do, so he left. Shen Qingzi thought about going out for a while, so she proposed to go back.Fang Zhuoyun didn't want to be too impatient, so he sent Shen Qingzi back to the Shen family.

When parting, Shen Qingzi stood at the door of Shen's house, and the other party Zhuo Yun said softly: "Zhuo Yun, thank you very much today, I rarely go out, and I don't know much, I hope I didn't make you laugh!"

Why did Fang Zhuoyun laugh, and immediately said: "If you want, I can take you to see every place in this capital!" His words made it very clear.

Shen Qingzi just smiled and said: "Then I'll thank you first, I'll go in first!"

Fang Zhuoyun looked at Shen Qingzi's back as she turned and left, and her heart jumped for joy. She didn't refuse, didn't she?

"Miss, I'm afraid Mr. Fang has fallen in love with you!" After entering Shen's house, Qiuyue said, I'm afraid anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

"Oh, so what?" Shen Qingzi replied lightly, without any joy.

"Mr. Fang is handsome, he has a good family background, and he has feelings for the eldest lady, which is naturally good! But..." Qiuyue thought about it and reminded, "It's just that the second lady likes Mr. Fang, and everyone in the house knows it!"

"Oh, that's it!" Shen Qingzi said leisurely, and stopped expressing her opinion!Shen Qingyao likes Fang Zhuoyun, she has known it for a long time, but Fang Zhuoyun is the most critical step in her plan, so she can't afford to miss it!

Cuihe had passed the news of Shen Qingyao's appointment to Fang's house to Mrs. Shen and Shen Qingyao earlier. At this time, the mansion's eyeliner came back and reported that Fang Zhuoyun had sent Shen Qingzi back.At that moment, Shen Qingyao stood up abruptly, and walked around the room anxiously, with an angry and resentful expression.

"Mother, take a look, take a look, I said she has bad intentions, she is trying to snatch Big Brother Fang, how can she deserve it!" Shen Qingyao said angrily.

Madam Shen also frowned, who gave Shen Qingzi the courage to flirt with Fang Zhuoyun so openly! "Qingyao, sit down, how decent are you like this!"

Shen Qingyao sat down indignantly, and said unforgivingly: "Mother, you always want me to bear it, how long will I bear it, she framed me in the palace, pretended to be pitiful in front of Brother Fang, and now she is with Brother Fang Going out, do you want me to watch her kidnap Brother Fang?"

Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter's beautiful but angry face, took Shen Qingyao's hand, and said comfortingly: "Take your time, Qingyao, mother knows that you have been wronged. But you have to remember and endure, she Shen Qingyao If Zizi smiles at you, you have to smile prettier than her; if Mother could hold back back then, she wouldn't let her still be here today!"

"How can I bear her like that!" Shen Qingyao said loudly, seeing Shen Qingzi now, she wanted to go up and slap her. "Mother, tell me that she is not your daughter, whose daughter is that!"

"She was born to the woman your father loved most. If you touched her at home, neither your father nor your grandfather will forgive you!" Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth, "The family will deal with her mother, it's a bright face Come on, just treat her as a good sister! After all, you have to know that no man likes a woman who is jealous! Even your Brother Fang won't like it!"

Shen Qingyao's body trembled. Grandpa usually doesn't pay much attention to others, but he loves Shen Qingzi very much. According to Cuihe, grandpa gave Shen Qingzi a lot of money! "Mother, I'll try my best!" Seeing the cruel look on her mother's face, Shen Qingyao said, she can't move at home, but outside, doesn't she, Shen Qingzi, like to run outside!
"Hey, Qingyao, you are going to marry a good family after all. You have to know that the eldest grandson of the Shen family is not your younger brother, so, don't offend your grandfather at home!" Mrs. Shen comforted.The old man will leave one day, can't she afford it?

"Mother, I get it, I just have to be patient!" Shen Qingyao understood what her mother said, so she said patiently.

As for Mrs. Shen, Qiuyue also found an opportunity to tell Fang Zhuoyun about Shen Qingzi's intentions, but she couldn't understand what she meant about her eldest lady.

"Girl Qing must be losing face, so take your time!" Old Master Shen had a good impression of Fang Zhuo Yun, so he didn't object.
