Chapter 17

Chapter Seventeen

"Miss Xiang, this is the famous peach blossom wine in Luocheng, just try it." In the private room of Tianxing Restaurant, the man eagerly pushed a glass of wine to the woman.Hearing that it was good wine, the woman smiled lightly, and then slowly removed the veil she was wearing on her face.When the man saw the face behind the veil, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Thank you, my lord, for inviting me to this gathering. This wine is really very mellow. In our Western Regions, there are very few such sweet wines."

"It's good that Miss Xiang likes it, but it's a pity that I have to go out tomorrow, so I can't treat you well. I wonder how long you will stay in Los Angeles?"

"My lord is a royal family, so there are so many opportunities to deal with every day, so there is no need to hurry up for me. I came from the Western Regions this time to be invited to perform a dance. If there is nothing else, I should not leave too soon." Xiang Wan said softly, Hearing that she was actually invited here, Xu Che was a little curious as to who could invite Xiangwan here.Three years ago, during the crown prince's birthday banquet, the present sage paid a lot of money to invite a dancer from a foreign domain to celebrate his birthday. Xiang Wan was the lead dancer, and Xu Che also met her at that time.

He admitted that he had a special affection for this dancer from the Western Regions, and even proposed to her more than once that he wanted to take her as his concubine.However, Xiangwan said that she wanted to dance freely, and she didn't plan to marry to the Central Plains. Xu Che didn't want to force others to make things difficult, so she had no choice but to give up.Seeing Xiangwan again now, Xu Che had the same thought again, but he was a little curious, who else could invite Xiangwan besides the royal family.

"Speaking of which, this is my former nobleman. She helped me when I was in distress. Now that she invites me, I naturally won't say no. Of course, it's also for reminiscing about the old days. I think the prince should also accept her name." I have heard, the daughter of the Wen family, Wen Jinshu." After Xiangwan finished speaking, seeing Xu Che's knowing expression, she knew that the other party also knew Wen Jinshu's name.

"If it's Miss Wen Jia, no one will know about it."

"Indeed, this time I come, I will temporarily stay at Miss Wen's place to prepare for the annual meeting in Los Angeles and the family banquet of Jing's family." After Xiangwan finished speaking, a pot of wine was finished, and she declined Xu politely. Wanting to convey his intentions, Che went to the Jing family's old house alone.

"This girl, who are you?" The servant at the door saw Xiangwan and asked politely. Xiangwan was wearing a plain gray dress and looked very ordinary. Although she was from the Western Regions, her hair color was still the same. Usually black, only the eyes are a touch of amber.The servant could tell that Xiangwan was not from the Central Plains, even though she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she did not dare to be rude.

"I'm Miss Wen's old friend, please let me know." Xiangwan said softly. In fact, when inviting her, Wen Jinshu once said that she would send someone to pick her up, so as to avoid these troubles on the way. He is a person who likes freedom and doesn't like to walk with strangers, so he rejected the proposal.When the servant heard that she was Wen Jinshu's old friend, he didn't dare to neglect her, so he hurried in to report, and came back after a while, and invited Xiang Wan over respectfully.

All the way through the long corridor to the main hall, Xiangwan saw that Jinshu was already sitting in the main seat and looked at her with a smile.I haven't seen her for three years, but Wen Jinshu's appearance is the same as before, and her temperament is more outstanding than before.Xiang Wan just glanced away, then she saw Shi Qianying standing behind her.

Both are from the Western Regions, Xiangwan can tell at a glance that Shi Qianying is also from the Western Regions.Compared with herself, she has a more conspicuous hair color, and with her pair of blue eyes, it is very difficult not to attract attention with her appearance.However, what surprised Xiangwan the most was her familiar face and facial features. Suddenly, Xiangwan felt that this trip was the right one. She never expected that there would be such an unexpected harvest.

"Long time no see, Miss Wen." Xiang Wan looked away before Wen Jinshu noticed something, and greeted Wen Jinshu eagerly.

"If I remember correctly, it has been more than three years since you and I separated last time. Miss Xiang, please sit down." Wen Jinshu asked Xiangwan to sit down, and signaled Shi Qianying to serve tea for Xiangwan .In fact, Qianying had already discovered that this Xiangwan was probably from the Western Regions, but she didn't have any fluctuations in her heart.

"Girl, please use tea." After Shi Qianying finished speaking, she brought the tea, Xiangwan looked at her a few more times when she came over, this small gesture did not escape Wen Jinshu's sight, she called Shi Qianying back, Then he was asked to wait outside, and there was no need to stay here.When Qianying left, Xiangwan looked at her for a while longer.

"Miss Xiang seems to be interested in the maid beside me?" What kind of person is Wen Jinshu? Many details cannot escape her eyes, not to mention that Xiangwan's curiosity about Shi Qianying is so obvious, so naturally she can't hide it from Wen Jinshu. .

"That's true. I didn't expect that there would be people from the Western Regions in the Central Plains." Xiang Wan explained with a smile. She could see that Wen Jinshu seemed to have a strange feeling for Shi Qianying, and it seemed that it was not just as simple as treating her as a maid .

"Miss Xiang came all the way, she must be tired, I'll send someone to prepare a room and hot water for you, and you take a rest. We can discuss the New Year's banquet tomorrow."

"Well, please trouble Miss Wen." After Xiangwan finished speaking, she called Shi Qianying over and told her to take Xiangwan to the guest room.Seeing Shi Qianying take her out, Wen Jinshu's eyes were half closed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"Miss Xiang, what do you think of this guest room?" Shi Qianying took Xiangwan to the room that Wen Jinshu had sent someone to clean up a long time ago. This entire courtyard is Xiangwan's residence, and there is a large area in the courtyard. The garden can be used by Xiangwan to practice dancing here on weekdays.Listening to her introduction, Xiangwan actually doesn't care about where she lives. What she's thinking about now is another matter.

"Girl, what should I call you?" Xiangwan stopped Shi Qianying's introduction and asked softly.He was stunned by her question, after all, besides Wen Jinshu, this was the second person to ask his name like this.From her point of view, Xiangwan is a guest from afar, and naturally she has the same status as her master. It stands to reason that Xiangwan should not care about her name. Could it be that Xiangwan is curious about herself just because they are all from the Western Regions?

"My name is Shi Qianying. Miss Xiang can just call me if she needs anything." Shi Qianying only thought that Xiangwan didn't know how to call herself. After all, in her opinion, few people care what a maid's name is. Not to mention asking for names.But after she finished speaking, she saw Xiangwan's thoughtful face, making Shi Qianying wonder if there was something wrong with her name.

"I don't think this is the real name of Miss Shi, is it? People in the Western Regions all have their own clan names, and Xiangwan is not my real name. I just chose it for the convenience of walking in the Central Plains on weekdays." "I was born in childhood." It is an orphan, this is the name given to me by the grandmother who picked me up." After listening to Xiang Wan's words, Shi Qianying replied in a low voice.She felt that she was just an inconspicuous person, and no one would care about her real name or alias.

"I don't know how old the girl is at that time?"

"Sixteen."

"You said you were an orphan since childhood, but do you still remember your biological mother?"

At the beginning, Qianying would answer Xiangwan's questions with a good temper, but gradually, she felt that the other party asked too much, and now she actually asked about such things.Shi Qianying hesitated, she felt that the other party wanted to know too much, and she also thought that she had no obligation to answer, so she didn't speak again.Xu Shi saw that she didn't want to continue the conversation, so Xiangwan didn't ask any further questions, and turned around and smiled at Shi Qianying.

"I'm sorry, because I've been homeless all these years, and suddenly I met someone from the same clan, and I got overjoyed. If I offend you, I hope you can forgive me." Xiang Wan felt guilty all over her face. When she said that, Shi Qianying shook her head.She wasn't dissatisfied, she just didn't want to mention her mother.

"Miss Xiang, you don't need to apologize, you didn't offend me."

"Well, I am relieved to hear you say that. Miss Shi, I feel that I am very close to you, and I feel very kind when chatting with you. If it is possible, can you often come to chat with me in the future?"

"If I'm free, I'll come naturally."

When Shi Qianying spoke up against Xiangwan, she had a faint liking for her. She felt that Xiangwan was very approachable, and she was also from the Western Regions. Shi Qianying was also curious about what the Western Regions were like.After all, she has been in the Central Plains since she was a child. As a native of the Western Regions, it is ridiculous to say that she doesn't even know her original country.

"Well, then I'll wait for you."

"Miss Xiang, I won't bother you for now, I have to go back and serve my wife."

Saying goodbye to Xiangwan, Shi Qianying counted the time and felt that it was time for Wen Jinshu to have lunch. She hurried back and saw that the meal was already set on the table, and Wen Jinshu was eating at a leisurely pace. Seeing herself coming back, she raised her head and glanced at herself with raised eyebrows.

"It's hard for you, little Hunu, to come back. I thought you were going to chat with Miss Xiang for hours." Wen Jinshu said with a smile, holding a piece of lotus cake on her chopsticks, but Shi Qianying was laughed at by her. Seeing the cheerful look made her back feel cold.Why does she feel... Today's wife is even more strange?
