The picturesque ancient city of Lin'an is bustling with people and brightly lit. In the bustling scene, the luxurious "Hexianju" restaurant is located in the middle of the long street. Today, Hexianju is bustling with people and the seats are packed. Most of them are watching the lanterns in Lin'an Mansion. of guests.
On a special day like today, if we hadn't made a reservation in advance, the good seats in the restaurant would have been taken up long ago. Fortunately, it was Cao Jin's own restaurant, and he had an exclusive private room on the second floor. The private room was facing the window, and he could just see the brightly lit long street and the picturesque ancient city outside.
Mu Zhongqing's family was introduced to Hexianju by Cao Jin, and they were warmly invited to the private room on the second floor. As soon as they entered, everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Outside, although it is night now, it seems like daytime. Various styles of lanterns are blooming gorgeously on this spacious street.
Those walking on the street include pretty girls in gorgeous clothes, dashing men, young couples swimming together with smiles, and naive little dolls. All kinds of people embellish this long street even more. lively!
Du Shi hugged Wu'er, Mu Zhongqing hugged Wen'er, Caiwei and Caifei held hands. The whole family stood in front of the window, looking down at the prosperity outside, silent and speechless, shocked by the picturesque scenery!
Huo Yuan sent Caiwei to Hexianju, saying that he had to leave first because he had something to do, and hurried away.
So, in a large elegant room, only Cao Jin and Mu Zhongqing's family were left, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window and chatting...
Soon, the waiters in the restaurant brought out the dishes one after another, including squab stewed in milk, spicy tripe, anchovy fins, duck feet with mushrooms, whole lamb grilled by Chef Liaodan, and delicious steamed sea bass. , all kinds of exquisite snacks, there are many, and the table is full.
Cao Jin hurriedly invited everyone to eat. After wandering around for a long time, everyone happened to be hungry, so they all sat down and started eating.
During the meal, Cao Jin discovered that the children of the Mu family were well-educated. Although they all grew up in a difficult environment, when faced with all kinds of rare delicacies, every child looked unfazed and could not eat enough. The disease is not slow, and there is nothing like the wolf-like tiger or the fear of the poor that the poor should have.
While we were eating, the shopkeeper suddenly ran in. While wiping the sweat on his head, he said excitedly: "My boss, the prefect has come to our restaurant with his family. He has already arrived at the door. Get ready to greet him." Bar!"
Cao Jin was surprised. Didn't he know that the gust of wind had brought the magistrate here? What is he doing here? I heard a burst of laughter coming from outside. In surprise, the door of the private room has been pushed open, and Han Zhicai, the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture, has walked in with a cheerful face, followed by his wife Qiao.
Magistrate Han is in his thirties, with a pleasant smile and a short and fat figure. He is dressed in a fourth-grade official uniform and wears a gauze-winged official hat. He is not dignified but more than kind.
The lady was about the same age as him, with a round face, big eyes, and a deep dimple on her right cheek when she smiled. Although she was not beautiful, she was amiable. She was wearing a lake-blue crepe-faced white fox coat. He was wearing a leather crane cloak, surrounding the marten's wind collar, and holding a small gilded hand stove in his hand. He followed Magistrate Han with a bright smile. As soon as he entered the door, he put his big eyes on Cai Fu. Cai Wei was just looking at Wei's body from top to bottom, which made Cai Wei puzzled, but it was hard for her to get angry!
Everyone stood up and said hello to the magistrate and his wife. Cao Jin held up his hands and smiled at Magistrate Han and said, "The common people didn't know that the magistrate was coming, so they missed the greeting from afar. I hope you will forgive me for being arrogant."
