Chapter 465 Familiar Words and Smells
Si He put down the cup in his hand and said to her, "I didn't expect that the person who took the photo of the pottery xun would be a girl. Please sit down."
As she spoke, she picked up a cup on the table and poured a cup of tea for the girl without asking the maid to serve her. She smiled slightly and looked quite easy-going.
Seeing this, the girl didn't hesitate and sat down at the seat opposite.
Although the other person looked natural and generous with a smile on her face, Si He felt that she was tense and was just deliberately showing a more relaxed attitude.
Si He poured the tea and moved in front of her.
Maybe it was because the distance was closer, she seemed more tense.
"Am I scary?"
Si He found it a little funny, because he seemed to see some fear in the girl's eyes. What was she afraid of?
I originally wanted to meet her because I wanted to take a closer look at the clay xun, otherwise I would not be interested in meeting her.
Hearing this, she quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I'm sorry. I'm a girl from the Chen family, and I've never met the Madam before."
Si He said, "Well, I just arrived in Wucheng not long ago. I wonder if I can see the pottery xun that Miss Chen just photographed?"
"Uh..." Chen Sangsang seemed a little embarrassed, hesitating to speak, "Well..."
Si He raised her eyebrows. It was just a glance, was it that serious?
"I took the liberty."
Seeing her like this, Si He did not force her, but the next moment, she seemed to grit her teeth and agreed, "You can show it to Madam, but I heard that such treasures are not suitable for handling. I hope Madam will forgive me."
Then, she glanced at the maid who was accompanying her, and the maid took the brocade box she was carrying, squatted down, faced Si He, and opened the lid.
Si He shifted her gaze towards the pottery xun in the brocade box. After a closer look, she could clearly see the shape of the xun and the runes carved on it, but she quickly retracted her gaze because she noticed that Miss Chen was very nervous, as if she was afraid that she would steal something.
Although this clay flute is not bad, the girl's reaction is too strange. If she is really timid and reserved, and values this thing so much, why would she come to see her, a stranger?
But Si He didn't say much, just said: "It's very beautiful."
However, Chen Sangsang asked, "Is it just beautiful?"
At this moment, her eyes were filled with temptation. What was she trying to test? And why?
Si He asked, "What else?"
Chen Sangsang continued, "Madam, don't you think this thing is very special? Then why did you pay such a high price for it?"
Si He said, "It just suits our eyes. Then why did you take the picture?"
She smiled awkwardly, "I just thought it was quite special, quite magical, and very beautiful, so I wanted to take a picture of it."
After she finished speaking, she winked at the maid, who then closed the brocade box, then carefully stepped aside holding the box and waited.
Seeing her defensive look, Si He felt no need to continue the conversation. It was almost noon, and the morning auction was almost over. "It's getting late. I'll take my leave first. Miss Chen, please do as you please."
Si He stood up and was about to leave when she heard Chen Sangsang say, "Madam, please stay. I feel a strong sense of camaraderie from the moment I met you. I wonder where you live in the city? Can I meet you again in the future?"
The lie came out smoothly and his expression looked quite sincere.
Si He stopped, looked at Chen Sangsang, and smiled, "See you again if we're lucky."
After saying that, she walked out, and Gao Zi quickly handed her the veil.
Manager Xue smiled and said, "Madam, take care."
Gao You took out a piece of silver, put it on the table, and followed closely behind. Before leaving, Gao You glanced at Chen Sangsang and followed him out.
Chen Sangsang pursed her lips and looked at Si He's back until she disappeared at the door. Then she looked away.
After a while, she stood by the window sill of the private room, looking at the figure walking down the stairs outside. The smile on her face disappeared and her eyes were very complicated.
……
After Si He left Ruyuan Tower and boarded the carriage, Gao You couldn't help but speak, "Madam, that girl just now was really strange. She was clearly afraid of you, yet she still tried to get close to you. It was practically written all over her face that she had ulterior motives. If you call her stupid, she's quite cunning, and her words were full of probing."
Si He said, "Well, you can see it. She must have known that she didn't hide it well, but she still didn't give up in the end. She's quite brave."
Gao Zi, who was standing by, interjected, "In Wucheng, even if she had the guts to do anything bad to Madam, she wouldn't have dared to do anything bad to Madam. I guess she knew Madam's identity and wanted to curry favor with her, but she was too timid to do so."
Si He smiled faintly. She didn't take the little girl seriously. "Let's go to the treasure shop in the city first."
Unable to find what she wanted in Ruyuan Tower, she could only go to the treasure shop to have a look.
"Yes."
Gao You responded and gave an instruction to his wife.
The carriage moved slowly, but when it passed the street corner, a rich fragrance came to its nose.
Because there is a big restaurant at the intersection, and it is almost noon, there are many people eating.
But when she smelled this smell, Si He's eyes narrowed, "Stop the car!"
The driver heard the voice and quickly pulled the reins, "What do you want, Madam?"
Gao You and Gao Zidu looked at Si He, only to see her put on her veil and get off the carriage without saying anything. The two of them hurriedly followed her.
After getting off the carriage, Si He looked through her veil, following the scent in the air, towards the large restaurant diagonally opposite.
When she saw the name of the restaurant, her expression became more complicated.
Chen's Hotpot!
These once familiar words and smells shocked her heart.
Hot pot is not something that should exist in this era!
But it just happened to appear before her eyes, forcing her to believe it!
Are there still time travelers in this world?
She stood beside the carriage, not moving for a long time. Gao You and Gao You, who were standing beside her, looked in the direction she was facing and saw a restaurant that was doing a booming business. There was nothing strange about it, but the smell was very tempting.
"Madam, would you like to have a meal?" Gao You asked.
"Yeah." Si He responded and walked towards the restaurant called "Chen's Hotpot".
Gao You, Gao Zi and a team of guards could only accompany and provide escort.
Because their group was so large, pedestrians on the street made way and looked over.
Si He looked around the restaurant as she walked. After being shocked, she quickly calmed down and looked at it carefully.
This 'Chen's Hotpot' restaurant is very grandly built, with a wide frontage and a golden sign. There are many carriages parked on both sides of the restaurant, and there are many customers coming in and out, making it very lively.
The restaurant has a tall door and many windows, all of which are open, so the aroma inside can easily diffuse out, filling the nearby streets with the fragrance.
As soon as I reached the door, the waiter inside jogged out with great tact and greeted me warmly, "Dear guest, please come in. Would you like to dine in or take a private seat?"
