Chapter 153 Testing
When Bai Xun went downstairs, Nanchun was holding a peach pink bag, looking around with a smile on her face, as if she liked it very much.
"Manager Hai, isn't this color and style a little too delicate?"
"How could that be! Madam, you are so beautiful, your wife must be gorgeous. This bag is the most fashionable style in the West, and it suits her very well." Bai Dahai said with a smile.
Seeing Bai Dahai lying with his eyes open, Bai Xun shook his head helplessly.
"Baixun, look how cute this bag is. My mother will like it, right?" Nanchun showed it to Baixun like she was presenting a treasure.
"Yeah, it's very cute. My mother will definitely like it."
Seeing Nanchun happy, he couldn't help but lie with his eyes open.
The news that the eldest son of the Sheng family was going to host a banquet at Yuqingzhai for the second young master and second young mistress of the Bai family spread like wildfire.
Bai Song answered the call from Yuqingzhai and couldn't help but sneer.
"Young Master Sheng, you are deliberately spreading the news."
"His father is actively seeking cooperation with Li Dashuai, the rival of the Bai family. But he invited Bai Xun and Nan Chun so ostentatiously. What does this mean? Going against his father?" Wang Zijin asked in confusion.
"Hmph, he's probably helping his father to spread the smoke! A slap in the face and a sweet reward, understand? Does he treat our Bai family as dogs that can be summoned and dismissed at will?" Bai Song snorted coldly.
"Knowing that the other party's intentions are not pure, it's better to let Bai Xun and Nan Chun not go!" Wang Zijin said worriedly.
"Go, why not? The Bai family's men are not cowards who would run away from the battlefield. Besides, Bai Xun is smarter than the eldest son of the Sheng family. We will have to fight sooner or later anyway, so it's better to meet him sooner."
Yuqingzhai.
Bai Xun and Nan Chun were led to the box by Sheng Zexi's men.
Nanchun looked at the empty lobby and couldn't help feeling a little strange.
"Hey, why is Yuqingzhai so quiet today?"
"Replying to Madam Bai, our eldest young master wanted to treat you two to a quiet dinner and didn't want to be disturbed by others, so he booked Yuqingzhai." Wei Zhong explained with a smile.
After hearing this, Nanchun couldn't help but be amazed. They were indeed a wealthy family with great wealth.
"Young Master Sheng."
"You two are here, please take a seat." Sheng Zexi said with a smile, "We are not much different in age, we are the same age, don't be restrained, just be casual."
"Yes, everyone, please feel free to do as you please. Second Young Madam, can you drink? This rose water is Young Master Sheng's treasure, specially brought from the garden to treat you. It's not a strong liquor, it tastes mellow and refreshing, sweet and soft, and it's good for your health to drink some." Li Rou smiled gently.
Now that things have come to this, Nanchun couldn't refuse.
"I haven't drunk much, so I'm not very good at it, but it doesn't hurt to drink less." Nanchun smiled embarrassedly.
"This wine is neither strong nor spicy, it's suitable for someone like you who is not good at drinking." Sheng Zexi said with a smile.
The dishes were served one after another.
Many of them were the ones Nanchun and Baixun ordered when they came to Yuqingzhai last time.
Seeing Nanchun's surprise, Sheng Zexi smiled and said, "When I came to reserve the table, I specifically asked the owner of Yuqingzhai. He said you two had been here a few days ago, so I asked him what dishes you like. How do you like it? If you don't like it, you can order something else."
"I'm sorry to trouble Young Master Sheng." Bai Xun said politely.
"You're welcome, try it."
Nanchun will not be polite. These seasonal dishes from Yuqingzhai will have to wait until next year after these few days.
Bai Xun subconsciously picked up some food for Nanchun.
Nanchun winked at him and whispered, "I can do it myself, just be decent!"
Seeing this, Bai Xun chuckled twice.
"Oh, you two have such a good relationship!" Li Rou watched their interaction with a hint of envy in her eyes.
Nanchun smiled embarrassedly.
"Second Young Master Bai, come here, I'll toast you a glass." Sheng Zexi raised his glass.
Bai Xun raised his glass and clinked it with his.
"Let's not have a drinking contest today, just relax." Sheng Zexi said.
"Okay." Bai Xun looked calm, and guessed in his heart that Sheng Zexi suddenly mentioned the drinking contest because he must have known that Chen Jinyang had been to Baiyuan.
"It's better not to have a drinking contest! Alas, Mr. Sheng is a learned and refined man, unlike our cousin-in-law Chen... He drinks one glass at a time! One glass after another is like water. It would be so nice for the family to get together for a meal, have a good chat and drink some wine, but they have to have a drinking contest to vent their anger." Nanchun complained dissatisfiedly.
Sheng Zexi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Indeed."
I just mentioned the drinking contest deliberately, and I was indeed referring to the Second Young Master Bai.
Lieutenant Chen, under Marshal Li, was even more clueless than Marshal Li. He rushed to visit Baiyuan in such a hurry that he might have fallen into some trap set by the Bai family.
He had always disapproved of the Sheng family's collaboration with the bandit leader from Ancheng. Not only was it a disgrace to the family, but those people were just big talkers with no brains.
Although this kind of cooperation can bring temporary benefits, it will cause endless troubles in the future.
But the second uncle was very active, and it was not convenient for his nephew to openly lose face in front of him, so he just let him do whatever he wanted.
It would be good if the Bai family could teach his second uncle a lesson.
However, this second young lady is very interesting.
Different from the introverted and tolerant Second Young Master Bai.
Maybe he understood what he meant, or maybe he didn't.
But in just a few words, he told it all, as if he didn't feel the need to hide anything at all.
Instead, it was hard to tell whether the Bai family was intentionally setting a trap for Lieutenant Chen, or... it was just an ordinary family dinner.
Sheng Zexi's gaze at Nanchun was too... focused.
This made Bai Xun a little unhappy.
"I wonder if Fourth Master Sheng is doing well?" Bai Xun asked casually.
"Fourth uncle? I haven't seen him for some time. He should be back in a few days for my grandfather's birthday. I will convey greetings from the second young master Bai to him then." Sheng Zexi said.
"The Fourth Master is coming back. That's great. He still owes me a big meal." Nanchun said casually.
Nanchun's tone made it seem as if she and Fourth Uncle were close friends. Sheng Zexi was slightly surprised. He had no idea when the Bai family had become so close to Fourth Uncle.
"Nanchun, are you familiar with Fourth Uncle?" Sheng Zexi asked.
"I am good friends with Mr. Chunxiao. When I went to see Mr. Chunxiao, I met the Fourth Master by the way." Nanchun answered truthfully.
"So that's how it is! Mr. Chunxiao has always been arrogant and there are very few people who can catch his eye and make friends with him. It seems that your character and way of dealing with people, Nanchun, are very good." Sheng Zexi said with a smile.
Li Rou took over the conversation with a smile: "I've only met the Second Young Madam twice, and I feel she's someone I can get along with. Come, Second Young Madam, let's have a drink."
Nanchun quickly picked up his glass and clinked it with hers: "Your acting is really good, young lady."
