Chapter 554 Falling Out
"It's said that not seeing each other every day is like three autumns. If these two people hold their stomachs, they won't be able to finish talking for a while. Give them more time, and you come and sit down too."
Zhou Ji glanced at the tea bowls and ice cups on the table that hadn't been cleaned yet, and waved to the man passing by in the corridor, and told him to bring two more smoothies, and pushed one of them in front of Song Yinzhang, saying, "Noon It's hot, so cool off with some smoothies."
Song Yinzhang was slightly taken aback, and responded weakly, but didn't move the spoon. Zhou Ji thought she saw the smoothie, and recalled the oolong that had happened before, and said sincerely: "I would make a mistake that day in Liyuan, and make it up on my own. Please forgive me, Miss Yinzhang, for Meng Lang's point of causing unnecessary misunderstanding."
"The young master is also doing it for my own good. If you care about it, you will cause chaos. How dare you blame me?"
Talking about the topic of Guishi with a man, after all, I am a little shy.
Song Yinzhang's cheeks flushed slightly, he quickly put down the bowl and spoon, lowered his head shyly, and whispered.
Zhou Ji was also somewhat inappropriate, so he quickly changed the subject and asked about the current situation of the half-hidden face.
Perhaps it was influenced by Zhang Haohao and Chi Yanei. Although Song Yinzhang is not the kind of talkative person who chews his tongue, he still couldn't help sighing and complained to Zhou Ji.
Since Ge Zhaodi joined Banshimian, Song Yinzhang faintly felt an inexplicable alienation between himself, Sister Pan'er and Sanniang, as if he was slowly being replaced by Ge Zhaodi and squeezed out by the three of them.
Many secrets are no longer shared with her, many things are avoided by her, and the three of them discuss.
Sometimes when eating, Song Yinzhang felt like an outsider, sitting at the same table, but seemed to be far away, watching them talking and laughing, talking about some topics that only the three of them were familiar with.
Zhou Ji looked back at the censer by the table, isn't the hair useless?
Just chatting a few words casually, why do you keep talking more and more seriously.
Zhou Ji couldn't say much about the matter between their sisters.
However, according to Ge Zhaodi, Zhou Ji had a relationship on both sides. This little girl is not simple. She has been in the market all the year round, observing words and deeds, and has a lot of eyes. She chose to stay half-hidden instead of learning from Tongfu Opera Troupe. Half-hidden is only run by three women from other places, so it's easy to sneak into the sister circle.
After all, following Song Yinzhang to Tongfu Teahouse, no matter how much Song Yinzhang took care of her, she would be able to become a musician in the theater troupe at most; But it is an equal relationship with Song Yinzhang.
In any group, the inherent circle often maintains the original interpersonal relationship, and it is difficult for an outsider to integrate, unless the original stable structure is shaken, and the interpersonal relationship in the circle is disturbed, so that there is a chance to rise to the top and form a new circle.
Zhou Ji never shy away from using the darkest thoughts to speculate on a person.
If he were Ge Zhaodi, he would definitely please Sun Sanniang who was kind to him. It just so happened that Sun Sanniang was born in the same poverty as him, and had fundamentally different identities from Zhao Paner and Song Yinzhang. relation.
Needless to say it too directly, even if it is a little subtle, the accumulation of time can arouse the two people's dissatisfaction with Song Yinzhang.
After some deduction.
Zhou Ji rested his chin and nodded slightly, slowly retracted his thoughts, and said softly: "It seems that this girl is probably behind the scenes."
Remind Song Yinzhang to pay attention to Ge Zhaodi, and usually pay more attention to Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang, and don't always think about letting people take the initiative to coax him.
Facing Zhou Ji's kind reminder, Song Yinzhang still listened a little bit.
However, the conversation from the next door attracted her attention even more. She put down the smoothie that had turned into a cup of honey water, got up and walked out the door.
The elegant room is next door.
Zhang sat on Chi Yanei's lap, holding his shoulders, and vaguely figured out what was wrong.
Sister Yinzhang pestered her to go out today, and boss Zhou of the restaurant happened to invite Chi Yanei to listen to a new play, and the two of them happened to be sitting next door. What a coincidence.
Chi Yanei slapped his forehead, and suddenly said: "I know, that Song Yinzhang did it on purpose. She made these things so that we could get back together, and then asked me to cancel the order prohibiting the ice shop in Beijing from selling half-covered ice cubes."
Song Yinzhang’s voice came from outside the door, “It’s exactly as the yamen said, but Yinzhang’s original intention is that he doesn’t want to see the two of you cut off communication because of a moment of anger.”
Zhang Hao got up in a panic and a little shy, adjusted the skirt and makeup, and stared out the door angrily.
I saw Song Yinzhang's eyes were sincere, and he looked at himself with a face of guilt, and the anger that hadn't appeared in the first place was completely dissipated.
There was a quarrel at the birthday party, and Song Yinzhang came to comfort her, and his concerns were not fake, and it was precisely because of this that she agreed to go out with Yinzhang to relax.
"Master, why did you get involved?" Chi Yanei said with a bit of grievance.
"Don't blame the yamen, I begged Mr. Zhou to help me." Song Yinzhang quickly explained.
"I don't blame him, why are you so anxious~" Chi Yanei replied subconsciously.
This sentence immediately made Song Yinzhang blush.
"Chi Pan~" Zhang took a good look at Chi Ya Nei, and smiled at Song Yinzhang and Zhou Ji outside the door, "This person is used to being arrogant and indulgent, and he is the most stubborn. Anyway, thank you this time for the introduction. Don't worry, Chi Pan has already Promise to lift the ban, and will not make things difficult for Mrs. Zhao again."
Chi Yanei muttered beside her: "It depends on her, she won't offend me, so I don't bother to trouble her."
Song Yinzhang didn't hear Chi Yanei's muttering, and thanked the two of them repeatedly. Zhang Haohao and Chi Yanei looked at each other, turned back and smiled and said, "We should be the ones who should say thank you. Yinzhang sister, let you bother."
"Actually, I didn't do anything~ You should also thank Mr. Zhou." Song Yinzhang brushed the hair falling from his ears a little embarrassedly, and slightly raised his eyes to glance at Zhou Ji beside him.
Zhou Jiwen said with a smile: "You, don't be humble, you came up with the solution, I just invited Chi Ya Nei for you"
"You arranged the room~"
"Don't forget, you are also the restaurant owner~"
"." "."
Seeing Zhou Ji and Song Yinzhang's 'humility', Zhang Haohao and Chi Yanei looked at each other, Zhang Haohao couldn't help laughing, "It's obviously a good thing, but how did you make it into a disaster? Like shirking each other?"
"That's right, that's right, in the final analysis, it's because I have no more love for me, and it has nothing to do with you." Chi Yanei snorted, turned his head and said.
"Obviously you have a deep-rooted love for me, so I agreed to get along with you."
"It's you."
Zhou Ji and Song Yinzhang's voices became smaller and smaller, they all turned their heads and laughed at the same time.
Laughter interrupted the debate, Zhang Haohao and Chi Yanei also stopped, they looked at each other, and then laughed.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily, Song Yinzhang sent Zhang Haohao to Muslim workshop in Tuochi Yameni, and ran towards Maxing Street impatiently, wanting to tell his sisters the good news of the lifting of the ban as soon as possible.
Song Yinzhang remembered that Chen Lian's private house and half-covered ice cubes were all exhausted.
The ice cubes that Du Changfeng and Gu Qianfan promised to find have not been delivered yet.
Chi Yanei ordered his attendants to go to the ice shop with Song Yinzhang, and in his name he took a cart of ice cubes and sent them to Maxing Street as compensation.
It was already noon, and the half-hidden business had long since ceased business.
Zhao Paner, who was free, remembered again how Gu Qianfan was covered in blood last night, and couldn't help but twitched his heart. Tears rolled in his red eyes, and he tried not to shed them.
Sun Sanniang had already learned about Gu Qianfan's injury from Zhao Pan'er, and she walked over worriedly, "Pan'er, there is no business in the tea house today, why don't you go back to the courtyard to rest first."
Zhao Pan'er came back to her senses, the tears hanging in the corner of her eyes finally flowed down.
Zhao Paner turned sideways to avoid Sun Sanniang, wiped away tears, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "No, I'm fine, there are still some accounts that are not right, you and Zhaodi go back first."
Sun Sanniang saw Zhao Paner's dejected look, and was about to speak to persuade her again, when a man in a black corset leaned over the window and looked in.
Chen Lian saw Zhao Pan'er's eyes brighten up, and said anxiously: "Sister Pan'er, I finally found you. The boss just woke up to see you. He is waiting for you in Osmanthus Lane~"
Zhao Pan'er's heart skipped a beat, she stood up, raised her skirt and ran outside.
At this time, a carriage came from the other side of the street.
Song Yinzhang raised the curtain of the carriage, and ordered the coachman to help move the bamboo baskets inside the carriage into the teahouse. When she got off the carriage, she happened to see Zhao Pan'er walking towards the door with her skirt in hand.
Song Yinzhang showed a smile trying to show off, walked up to her quickly, took her hand and said, "Sister Pan'er, Sister Pan'er, I have some good news for you~"
Zhao Pan'er didn't care about explaining to Song Yinzhang, let alone what news Song Yinzhang brought back, so she broke free from her palm and continued walking forward.
"Sister Pan'er~" Song Yinzhang was confused, and subconsciously raised his hand to call Zhao Pan'er, and saw Chen Lian coming out from the side, walking away with Zhao Pan'er.
Song Yinzhang originally wanted to go forward and chase them a few steps to ask them if they were in a hurry, if they wanted to take a carriage.
As a result, Sun Sanniang stopped her before she could speak.
"San Niang, why are you dragging me?" Song Yinzhang asked doubtfully. "Sanniang, what's wrong with Miss Pan'er? You look so anxious? Nothing will happen, right?"
"Pan'er has very important matters over there, so don't make trouble by the side." Sun Sanniang said in a blunt tone.
Maybe because she felt that her attitude was a bit bad, Sun Sanniang added, "It's nothing, she...she...she forgot to bring the account book, go back to Osmanthus Lane to get it."
"That's it~" Song Yinzhang did not doubt that he was there, raised his hand to cover the hot sun above his head, and said with a smile: "The sun at noon is too poisonous, let's go into the store first, and when Sister Pan'er comes back, I will come back later." tell her~"
"Yes." Sun Sanniang forced a smile, and followed her into the hall.
"Huh~ Are there no customers in the tea house today?" Song Yinzhang walked into the lobby, and she was slightly taken aback by the empty scene.
Ge Zhaodi pouted around, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Yes, when I heard that Miss Yinzhang was not here, all the guests ran away."
Song Yinzhang didn't hear the yin and yang in Ge Zhaodi's tone, looked at the bamboo basket brought by the coachman, and said with a smile: "Sanniang, Zhaodi, what do you think I brought back?"
"Ice?" Sun Sanniang looked at the bamboo basket in front of her. Although it was covered with thick cloth and straw, she could still recognize what was inside compared to the boring heat in the room. "Where did you get it? Could it be Has the ice from Tongfu Tea House reached us?"
"Of course not!" Song Yinzhang raised his voice an octave, and explained: "I bought this from the ice shop. Chi Ya Nei has lifted the ban, allowing the ice shop to buy ice for us!"
Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi showed surprised expressions at the same time, and Ge Zhaodi lost her voice: "How did you do it? Could it be that you asked Boss Zhou to mediate the conflict?"
"This is a secret~" Song Yinzhang showed a reserved smile, obviously not wanting to say too much.
Sun Sanniang said: "The weather is so hot, there is ice, I'll make some smoothies for everyone."
"I don't need to be my third wife," Song Yinzhang said with a hesitant face, shaking his head.
Sun Sanniang glanced at Song Yinzhang suspiciously, then shifted her gaze to her lower abdomen, suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Then I'll finish cooking candied dates water for you."
While Sun Sanniang was busy, Song Yinzhang inadvertently asked that he had just seen Chen Lian on the street, and Ge Zhaodi pretended to make a slip of the tongue: "Vice Envoy Gu is in Osmanthus Alley, and asked Chen Lian to call Sister Pan'er over."
"Take me!" Sun Sanniang lowered her voice and reprimanded her.
Ge Zhaodi stuck out her tongue, showing an apologetic expression.
Song Yinzhang moved his eyes from the faces of Sun Sanniang and Ge Zhaodi, and suddenly seemed to understand something, and felt like an outsider again, and asked tentatively, "Sister Pan'er and Gu Qianfan are together?"
Seeing the two acquiescing, Song Yinzhang shook his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and confirmed: "You all know? I was the only one kept in the dark? No one told me?"
"Didn't you guess it before?" Before Sun Sanniang finished speaking, Ge Zhaodi's voice overwhelmed her, "Sister Pan'er told us to hide it from you."
"Why? Why did you hide it from me?" Song Yinzhang looked at Sun Sanniang, Sun Sanniang opened her mouth, and Song Yinzhang took the initiative to say, "It's because we agreed not to marry for the rest of our lives, and we have a deep sisterhood for the rest of our lives, so she deliberately hid it from me, worrying that I would For the sake of the previous agreement, hinder her from obtaining happiness?"
For Gu Qianfan, Song Yinzhang didn't know much, and didn't have any special feelings, but Zhao Pan'er's behavior of "betrayal" between sisters made her extremely disappointed.
"Sisters for so many years, are they so untrustworthy?" Song Yinzhang said bitterly.
Sun Sanniang panicked and said: "That's not the case. Gu Qianfan is the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department. His identity is sensitive and special. Countless people inside and outside the court want him to die. Pan'er is hiding it from you for safety and confidentiality."
These words were said by Zhao Pan'er to her at the time, and Song Yinzhang was full of sarcasm when she said them now.
Safety? Confidential?
During the sunflower incident, the mood was easy to fluctuate. Song Yinzhang glanced at Ge Zhaodi next to him, and sneered, feeling wronged, disappointed, and resentful. All kinds of emotions were entangled, and he walked out half-hidden in a daze, and stood under the sun in a daze until a A slightly surprised voice came from the side, and it was only then that he came back to his senses.
"Ms. Song!"
