Xie Jingxi ordered a whole table of dishes.
”My wife, although we have silver, it's not too good to waste it. Can you finish it all with that little bit of appetite of yours?”
Xie Jingxi arrogantly opened the fish's belly with her chopsticks, picking up the most delicious piece, she then spat out a fish bone leisurely, ”Or, you can say that it's expensive, the taste is not the best, but the fish is very fresh, it's better than eating those half-dead fish in Beijing, but it's still a little lacking compared to our Hangzhou, no, what do you mean, if you don't finish eating it, you should taste it, alright?
”Fine, that's too good. My wife loves you.” Gu Yun gave her a bowl of soup, ”Don't eat too much, drink some soup first, and don't eat too full. I'll bring you to a more delicious place tonight.”
Xie Jingxi looked at him, ”I noticed that you seem to be familiar with everything. Is there anywhere in this world that you haven't been to before?”
”Yes, this is just a small place like this. Jinling City isn't even a big place, so it's normal for you to come here. If you want to go anywhere else, I can probably let you eat. If you follow me, you won't suffer any losses.”
Xie Jingxi was too lazy to bother with his face anymore, she scooped up a spoonful of tender tofu and fed it to him. Gu Yun devoured it sweetly, as if he had eaten a spoonful of honey, ”My wife, you are so filial.
”What's wrong with the tofu? It's a good item and a great tonic.” She also scooped up a spoonful and felt that the taste was quite good, ”Jiangnan's tofu is better than Beijing's. Sigh, no matter where I look at it, it's better than Beijing's.”
Gu Yun laughed, ”It's not necessarily pleasing to the eye, what I've seen with Song Yanting before, was that time at the Beijing hall?”
”Un, it's just a piece of mouse sh * t. It's not too annoying. At most, we'll have to make an enemy out of it.”
”Last time I was at a disadvantage, my family's Xi has always been a remarkable woman who would always take revenge. I have a premonition that this kid is going to suffer.”
Xie Jingxi stared at him, ”You must be enjoying yourself to watch this play, do you know why I dared to do this, it's because I'm following behind you, next time, take the initiative, I feel that if I meet him again, it might explode.”
”Fine, I'm just a follower. You can play however you want. You don't have the patience to teach anyone a lesson. Just a glance is enough, I guarantee you that his parents won't recognize me.”
Xie Jingxi burst out laughing, ”Hey, Gu Xuanchen, why didn't I realize you were so poor before?”
”Isn't this the same as my wife releasing herself? Since you've gotten to know me better, then get to know me more thoroughly. I don't want my wife to always be afraid of me.”
”I am more interested in the person beside Song Yanting, I feel that your gaze is not normal, Song Yanting is going back and forth with such a person, I wonder if Song Yanchen knows about it?”
Gu Yun's eyes were deep and secretive. ”If I'm not wrong, he should be the biggest salt gang leader in Jiangnan, Liao Yuntian.”
”Unorthodox, private salt?”
Gu Yun nodded, ”Your eyesight is pretty good. The underworld could tell at a glance, so let me tell you this. Remember when I went to Jing Prefecture, the one who came out to rob the ship was the underworld's salt tunnel.”
Xie Jingxi raised her eyebrows. ”Liao Yuntian sought trouble with you?”
”You can't put it like that. The Salt Clan is rather complicated. Once we get to Liao Yuntian, he won't be so stupid as to rob the official ship. It was his subordinates who did it, or rather, those who disagree with him.”
”But from the looks of his eyes, he does not seem to have any good intentions. Furthermore, Song Yanting is with him, does Song Yanchen know about this, there shouldn't be anything wrong with this place, right?”
”First of all, Liao Yuntian and I are naturally opposing sides. Since Song Yanchen is on the streets, he has to get along with everything, and too clean people can't get along, not only will they not oppose each other, there's a high possibility that they will cooperate as well. As for Song Yanting, this is a family matter for their own family, and we can't even talk about it, I am now an undisciplined slut who can't even get close to the imperial court, so there's nothing they can do about it.”
These words reminded Xie Jingxi that she would have to get involved in everything. As for Shen Huanzhi, he felt that she should get involved even if she had suddenly gotten used to everything, and he had a faint feeling that she must have gotten involved in quite a lot.
But what Gu Yun said was right, they had nothing to do with anyone else for now, so they did not harass him when they had nothing to do with each other, and if they thought too much, there was no difference between that and in the capital.
Eating more made her full. If not for wanting to tempt Gu Yun to eat more, she would have stopped eating long ago, but Gu Yun had even less food than her, so the food was packed and sent to the beggars along the way.
”You must have despised me when I entered that restaurant.” The two of them wandered around aimlessly on the street. Xie Jingxi bought a string of candied fruits to relieve the greasy taste, ”Just like a bumpkin who doesn't know how to eat good stuff, if you don't know how to pick it then it's expensive. It's indeed not that delicious.
Gu Yun scratched the center of her palm, ”It's not too bad, this family is quite famous, I just stayed on the boat and lost my appetite.”
Therefore, Xie Jingxi did not want to concentrate on following him around. Gu Yun seemed to be very familiar with Jinling and he did not hesitate to follow him wherever he went, following him and he did not have to worry about it too much, arriving near the evening on the Qin Huai River. Currently, the time that Gu Yun had set up for the Qin Huai River was just right around the corner, it was still not dark, it was enough for him to use his eyes to picture the magnificent scenery of Qin Huai within ten li.
