Chapter 260
"Let's go!" Shen Changsheng walked over and said to his second sister and her husband.
"Let's go!" Shen Hui'e said to him with a smile.
"What's wrong with my brother-in-law? He doesn't look as energetic as before." Shen Changsheng looked at him with concern.
"Uh... me?" Huang Zhongchang was still immersed in his own predicament and didn't know what to say when asked.
Shen Hui'e said cleverly, "He's hungry." She touched her stomach and said, "I'm hungry too." At the end, her stomach even cooperated and started to growl.
"Haha..." Shen Changsheng laughed when he heard that, "Let's go, fill our stomachs first."
Shen Hui'e and the other two stepped into Zuixian Tower. The U-shaped building structure was so magnificent compared to the outside. The decoration inside was even more magnificent.
The high-profile luxury is so dazzling and golden that it can blind people's eyes.
"Oh! Mr. Shen is here." The waiter looked at him enthusiastically and said, "Please come in." He looked at the two people behind him and asked, "Are these two distinguished guests?"
"This is my sister and brother-in-law." Shen Changsheng introduced briefly.
"This is truly an honored guest. Please come in." The waiter said happily with a smile on his face.
"Serve the table of delicious food first." Shen Changsheng said as he walked inside.
"Okay!" the waiter said crisply, his voice was still inflected, "How about our signature dish?" Then he asked, "This wine?"
"Don't drink. Serve the food quickly." Shen Changsheng said to the waiter with his dark eyes.
"Please..." The waiter invited them into a room with elegant decorations, "Please wait a moment."
Shen Changsheng took off his dog-skin hat and scarf, smiled and said, "Sit down!"
"It's quite quiet in here." Shen Hui'e sat down gracefully, her hand following the side of her clothes. She took off her hat, scarf and gloves and placed them on the table beside her.
"It's more lively at night!" Shen Changsheng looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "There are people singing songs and performing tricks."
"Isn't there a curfew?" Shen Hui'e said to him with raised eyebrows.
"Curfew? That depends on who you are talking to." Shen Changsheng winked at her and said, "Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand! The curfew is for common people, and the nobles have nothing to fear." Shen Hui'e sneered.
It is the same in ancient and modern times. Privileges have never been absent, but on the contrary they have become rampant!
"Brother-in-law, it's hot in this room, why don't you take off your hat?" Shen Changsheng said, looking at him who was still wearing the hat.
"I'd better not take my hair off since it's short." Huang Zhongchang took off his gloves and scarf and said, "I won't stand out."
"Okay!" Shen Changsheng nodded hurriedly upon hearing this.
"Knock knock..." There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Shen Changsheng's dark eyes looked towards the door.
The waiter led in six women in brightly dressed. The first three women were holding copper basins with steam coming out of them.
Behind them three women were carrying trays with pitchers of water, soap and towels.
"Please wash up first and relax." The waiter said to the three of them with a smile.
Three women walked up to them, half-knelt down and raised the copper basins in their hands high to their chests.
Shen Hui'e stroked her forehead gently, "This..." She looked at Shen Changsheng, who also looked embarrassed at this time.
Huang Zhongchang's eyes rolled around and he secretly glanced at the women's half-exposed breasts. When he noticed her gaze, he quickly retracted his eyes.
Huang Zhongchang turned his face away. Why am I hiding? Damn it, I can't do it. I can't watch it anymore. I just watch it. I turned my face and stared at the woman in front of me.
Huang Zhongchang looked at her provocatively, his eyes darting back and forth among the women.
This guy! Shen Hui'e felt disgusted in her heart. This is what a man is like...
Who can stand squatting like this? You really don't treat me as a human being.
"Then just put down the copper basin and go back!" Shen Changsheng said quickly and awkwardly when he saw this.
The waiter's black eyes flickered when he heard that. He directed them to put down the copper basin and water pitcher and retreat.
"Brother, this is a den of brothel!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.
"Uh..." Shen Changsheng smacked his lips and said, "This place is different from a brothel. The guests have more rules."
"You can see it, but you can't touch it." Shen Hui'e ran her index finger across her brow and said, "It's so tempting." She raised her thumb and said, "It's really great!"
"Cough cough..." Shen Changsheng and Huang Zhongchang were so frightened that they kept coughing.
"What's so surprising about this?" Shen Hui'e looked at the two of them with a half-smile, "Don't I have a say in what they do?" She snorted coldly, "Take advantage of a man's heart. How can a home-grown flower smell as good as a wild one? A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal."
"Cough cough..." Both of them coughed and their faces turned red.
Shen Hui'e stood up and walked to the copper basin, washing her face and hands.
When Shen Hui'e finished washing, the two of them were still coughing and said calmly, "Don't you want to wash? You are so dirty."
The two of them hurriedly walked to the copper basin and washed up simply.
After the waiter asked someone to take the copper basin away, he called another person in, this time with water.
"Please rinse your mouth first," the waiter said enthusiastically. After serving them, he started to make tea.
"No, no, no, that's not necessary." Shen Hui'e looked at the things in front of her and said, "No need to make tea, just give us hot water."
The waiter looked at Master Shen. Shen Changsheng smiled and said, "Listen to my sister and bring some hot water."
"Yes!" The waiter bowed and responded, and asked the woman who made the tea to leave.
"Breakable tea is very popular among nobles." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.
"I'm not used to drinking it." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her clear and bright eyes.
"You haven't drunk it before, so how can you not be used to it?" Huang Zhongchang said casually.
"It's fried with ginger, salt, and various spices. You can imagine the taste when it's mixed together." Shen Hui'e said bluntly, "One sip is like eating sand, all dregs."
"Ahem..." Huang Zhongchang coughed lightly, "I'd rather not drink it. It doesn't taste as good as the salty soup we made."
"Do you have to put so many things into the tea leaves before frying them? It would be better to soak them in plain water. It will look better." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her ink-black eyes.
"That doesn't taste good either." Shen Changsheng pouted in disdain, "I've had it before."
"We don't grow tea trees here, so it's impossible to try new methods," Shen Hui'e said regretfully.
"You can also play with tea leaves." Huang Zhongchang looked at her in surprise and said.
"No way! Try picking some fresh tea leaves!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her glassy eyes and said, "It's just leaves. If nothing works, throw them into the meat pot and cook them!"
"How can there be someone like you?" Shen Changsheng's jaw almost dropped in shock.
"Why not? You are still making tea! What's wrong with me cooking meat? Maybe the taste of tea can dilute the fishy smell of meat." Shen Hui'e looked at them with bright eyes and said.
"You say that?" Shen Changsheng looked at him thoughtfully and said, "You can try it!"
"That's right! How do you know it won't work if you don't try it?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with curved eyebrows and said, "If it doesn't taste good, I won't make it a second time, excluding this one." She smiled and said, "We will always try to find a delicious combination."
"You always think about food." Shen Changsheng looked at her lovingly and said.
"That's right." Shen Hui'e picked up the lacquered red bowl and sipped the warm water. "By the way, the hospitality here is quite 'novel'." She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and said, "The business here is very good!"
"Hmm!" Shen Changsheng picked up the bowl and kept drinking water. "It's so good, customers are coming in droves."
Seeing this, Shen Hui'e had no choice but to say, "I won't mention this matter anymore." Seeing him secretly breathe a sigh of relief, she looked at him seriously and said, "You can't let your sister-in-law down!"
"No, no." Shen Changsheng put down the lacquer bowl in his hand, "I don't have the energy to think about that right now! I am in danger of losing my job every day."
This woman even meddled in her brother-in-law's bedroom affairs. She's overreaching! Huang Zhongchang held the bowl, hiding the complicated thoughts in his eyes.
As they were talking, the waiter brought the food up, "This is our restaurant's signature dish."
"Just put it down, we can do it ourselves." Shen Changsheng looked at the waiter and the others with his dark eyes.
"Enjoy your meal." The waiter bowed and led his men away.
Shen Hui'e looked at the dishes on the square table with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "I made all of these. They look more refined and present better."
"Yes!" Shen Changsheng said with a smile, "They have more seasonings and taste good, try it." He looked up at Huang Zhongchang and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be polite when we are family, just help yourself."
"I've been hungry for a long time." Shen Hui'e put the braised pork into her mouth, her eyes lit up and said, "It's great, it melts in your mouth, fat but not greasy. It's sweet, and the sugar color is also great!" She nodded with satisfaction and said, "I haven't eaten it for a long time, I miss it so much."
"You can eat as much as you want now." Shen Changsheng looked at her tenderly. He had been feeling aggrieved these days. "Let's raise more pigs in the future."
"Don't look at me, you guys are eating too!" Shen Hui'e said to them with her bright eyes.
"The food you eat smells especially delicious." Shen Changsheng looked at her gently and said.
"Don't just look at it! It tastes even better." Shen Hui'e said to them with clear eyes.
The table was filled with braised pork, meatballs, crispy pork, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried cabbage with pork slices and stewed vermicelli, all of which were staple dishes.
The three of them ate everything up, and after digesting the food and chatting for a while, Shen Hui'e took a nice bath and had a good sleep.
Wait until late at night and change into dark clothes.
"What are you going to do?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with her leggings tied tightly at the cuffs and her hair wrapped up.
"Exploring the County Magistrate's Mansion at night!" Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "You haven't forgotten the purpose of our visit to Hezhong Mansion, have you?"
"This is the third floor. How are you going to go down?" Huang Zhongchang pursed his lips and looked at her.
"Jump down!" Shen Hui'e said with a smile, pointing her index finger downward.
"You're crazy." Huang Zhongchang shouted in a low voice.
