Chapter 432: Arena Competition, Meeting Familiar People Again
There was a big pot of crabs, squirrel mandarin fish, crystal pig's trotters, and crab meat lion's head. Jiang Youzhen even saw braised beef.
Jiang Youzhen hadn't eaten much beef since she traveled to this dynasty. She couldn't buy the dead oxen, so there was no demand for them.
"Try the braised beef. You don't often get it." Tong Huaian picked up some beef and handed it to Jiang Youzhen with chopsticks.
"I'll do it myself. What's our relationship? Brother Huai'an is still taking care of me like this. I won't be polite to you." Jiang Youzhen felt a little awkward. She was not used to others picking food for her, even though they were using serving chopsticks.
"It's all thanks to Junior Brother Jiang that I was able to come across these delicious dishes today." Wen Ruyu suddenly said.
Jiang Youzhen was puzzled. Shouldn't he thank the host? Why should he thank her?
"Senior Brother Wen should thank Brother Huai'an. He is so generous that he invited us to come and broaden our horizons."
"Of course I have to thank the host." Wen Ruyu said as he poured himself a cup of wine and then raised the cup to toast Tong Huaian.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tong, for your hospitality today. I'd like to offer you a drink."
"You don't have to be polite, junior brother. We are both students of the provincial school, so we should take care of each other when we are away from home." Tong Huaian did not turn his face away, and he would not hit someone who smiled at him.
"When did you two become so estranged?" Jiang Youzhen felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. She could see that Tong Huaian had intended to win over Wen Ruyu.
"We are all brothers in the prefectural school, so how can we be strangers? I have always been a loner and not good at communicating with others. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Junior Brother Wen."
"Where? Where? I have always relied on you for your care. I feel bad for you saying this."
Watching the two of them interacting with each other, Jiang Youzhen shook his head.
These two people are so hypocritical, she should just eat her crabs!
"Sir, please don't dirty your hands. I'll peel it for you!"
At this time, the round-faced maid who was ignored by the three people stepped forward again and said to Jiang Youzhen.
It was her duty to serve the food, but when the young master Tong saw her coming, he waved his hand and asked her to step aside, so she didn't come over.
In fact, Jiang Youzhen was too lazy to peel crabs. She loved eating crabs in her previous life. Especially the crab roe and crab paste were also very delicious. But it was a bit troublesome to peel the crabs. The crab shells were very hard and always pricked her hands.
In this life, someone helped her peel the flowers, so she naturally wouldn't do it herself. This was someone else's job, and she would just give him more money later.
Tong Huaian and the other man finally finished their pleasantries. They both picked up the crabs and started peeling them. Jiang Youzhen started eating the crab meat-cooked crab meat crabmeat.
"If I could have a bowl of crab roe noodles, it would definitely be delicious." Jiang Youzhen suddenly thought of the crab roe noodles she had eaten in her previous life. It was so delicious that she still remembers it in this life.
"Go and get ready!" Tong Huaian ordered behind him.
"Yes! I'll go and tell the kitchen right away." A pretty maid was about to step forward to help peel the crabs, but upon hearing this, she immediately turned around and left the room.
"This? Isn't it too extravagant?" Jiang Youzhen blurted out just now. How much crab roe does crab roe noodles need? It must cost a lot of money. After all, crabs must be very expensive now.
"Aren't you here just to eat crabs? You're still being polite to me. If you really feel bad, then just give me all your bonuses in the capital." Tong Huaian said with a smile.
"Forget it, at worst I'll treat you to dinner today."
That's not worth it, is it? Jiang Youzhen is not stupid.
"Eat yours! Do you think I would care about such a small amount of silver?" Tong Huaian thought Jiang Youzhen's money-grubbing look was particularly funny. He clearly had no less than 100,000 taels of silver in his hand, but he was still so stingy.
Wen Ruyu watched the two of them chatting and laughing as if no one was around. He carefully observed Tong Huaian's eyes and found that his eyes were full of doting when he looked at Jiang Youzhen. He immediately got goose bumps.
Could it be what he thought? These two? However, he felt that Jiang Youzhen's attitude towards Tong Huaian was very normal, just like he treated a close senior brother.
Ignoring the discomfort in her heart, Wen Ruyu felt that she needed to find an opportunity to make it clear to Jiang Youzhen, for fear that Tong Huaian had some shameful thoughts about Jiang Youzhen.
In fact, it’s no wonder that Tong Huaian did that. Jiang Youzhen was just too good-looking. Apart from his heroic eyebrows, he looked like a girl no matter how you looked at him.
Suddenly there was some noise outside the room, and a beautiful maid walked in. She was not the one who had been serving in the room just now, and she looked unfamiliar.
"My three lords, the competition is about to begin. Do you want to open the windows?"
"Ring match?" Jiang Youzhen was very confused.
"There are tournaments held here every five days. Each time is different, but I heard it's very exciting. Most people come here for this."
"Master Tong is very familiar with the rules of our Qinghua Manor, so he must be a frequent visitor, right? Indeed, many distinguished guests come here for the competition. If you are interested, you can also place a bet. A little gambling is good for your health!"
At this time, the maid opened the window, turned around and said to the three people with a smile.
The maids looked at Jiang Youzhen and the others with amazement in their eyes. It was rare for them to meet such handsome men with their own unique styles. They were all young men and came from aristocratic families. How could they not be moved?
"Oh? What's the competition today? A fight of words or a fight of fists?" Jiang Youzhen became interested and curious about it.
"Please forgive me, Master Jiang. I didn't know what it was until just before the competition. Please stay tuned!"
"So mysterious?" Wen Ruyu was also very interested.
At this time, the windows were wide open. Jiang Youzhen and his group's round table was right next to the window. They were still on the first floor and could see the scene outside the window clearly.
It turned out that there was a very spacious venue outside, surrounded by rooms in a circle, and the middle was used for competitions.
Jiang Youzhen watched with interest, and when he glanced, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Eh? Isn't this Young Master Luodan? Is he here too?"
Jiang Youzhen took a close look at the other person. The figure leaning against the window in the opposite room, with the iconic mask on his face, who else could it be but him?
Tong Huaian looked over and said, "It's really him!"
No one else can have that boneless and soft figure, leaning on whatever he walks with, except Luodan.
"Don't pay attention to him, he is unpredictable and it is better to have less contact with him!" Tong Huaian snorted coldly. This person is not as simple as he seems.
A young prostitute who secretly has dealings with those in high positions and always wears a mask, as if he is not to be seen in public.
Wen Ruyu on the side seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. He glanced at Jiang Youzhen who was unaware of anything and shut up.
I secretly complained: It would be best if Jiang Youzhen had nothing to do with anyone else, right? Why is Tong Huaian so nice to Jiang Youzhen? Could it be that there is really a Longyang good relationship?
Luodan was drinking boredly, and the cloaked man hiding in the dark opposite him was also drinking by himself. The room was completely silent.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Luo Dan asked in surprise: "Who is that? Jiang Youzhen?"
