Chapter 172 What is this for?
Shen Yindi was surprised: "You can understand the language of Nanyue?"
"I don't quite understand it, but I know that this is their language. They can also speak our language. The official language of this continent is unified." Chu Yan explained to her seriously.
Shen Yindi nodded: "I know. What they are saying now is equivalent to their own dialect."
"It can also be understood that way."
"Boss, please serve us all the signature dishes of your Zuixianlou! Just choose ten dishes. And two jugs of good wine!" Si Qi had already generously ordered. He was really hungry.
In order to hurry on my way, I just ate a few bites at noon.
Riding horses all day long consumes a lot of physical energy.
"Okay! I'll tell the waiter right away to serve the dishes to our distinguished guests as soon as possible!" After saying this, he was about to leave.
Finally, he was stopped by Shen Yindi.
"What else does this girl want?"
Shen Yindi is not wearing a veil now, and the scars on her face are slightly lighter, so you have to look carefully to see them.
At first glance, she is definitely a beauty.
"Boss, do you know who those people are next door? They seemed to be arguing quite loudly just now."
The boss knew Si Yin's identity, and judging from the temperament of the others, their identities must be high.
"To be honest, young lady, the people next to us are from the Kingdom of Nanyue, and they are also distinguished guests. I heard that they are members of the royal family of Nanyue. I don't know their specific identities, and I dare not ask around." The boss said everything he could with a smile on his face.
No one is to be offended.
After all, the head of the largest intelligence network in the entire Chu State is here. If he wants to know something, how can he not find it?
Shen Yindi nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you boss."
After that, the boss left and said he would go downstairs to prepare their food and drinks.
After closing the door, Shen Yindi lowered her voice and said, "What is the royal family of Nanyue doing in Da Chu?"
"I remember that the relationship between Da Chu and Nanyue wasn't very good, right?"
She looked at Chu Yan. He should be the one who knew the most about royal affairs.
"There is no communication. They all belong to the more powerful countries on this land."
At this time, Chu Yun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Four years ago, a minister in the court proposed a marriage alliance with the Kingdom of Nanyue. They wanted to send me to marry the second prince of their royal family."
"But after being reprimanded by the Emperor, they no longer dared to mention it."
Everyone present was immediately surprised. Even Chu Yan was a little surprised.
"There is actually such a thing? I don't know which old guy came up with this stupid idea!" Shen Yindi couldn't help but complain.
"My father has a very strong character. He would not agree to this approach. If we go to marry, it means that our Great Chu is inferior to them. He would rather keep to himself than choose this way to belittle himself."
Chu Yan said in a low voice. He knew his father's temper very well.
"If there is no marriage alliance between the royal family and the people, then there must be marriage alliance between the common people, right?" Shen Yindi supported her chin with one hand.
"Of course there is. But if it doesn't have any influence, no one will pay attention to it."
Shen Yindi nodded thoughtfully: "I remember Boss Xie told me before that in Jiangnan, there are many merchants from neighboring countries coming here to do business. The people he has seen the most are from Zhaoyue and Nanyue."
"Of course there are other small countries, but not as many as these."
"Master, can you help me find out what they are doing in Da Chu?" Chu Yan looked at Si Yin and rarely took the initiative to ask for help.
"Yes, I will ask my colleagues in Yancheng to investigate."
"Thank you."
"polite."
The speed of serving food at Zuixianju is very fast.
The boss followed them in personally and introduced each dish to them one by one.
They were not in a hurry to pick up their chopsticks. They waited until he finished speaking and left before Shen Yindi took out a silver needle and tested the poison rationally.
After all, when you go out, you must be extra careful.
Fortunately, there was no problem with the food and wine.
"Okay, everyone, let's eat." Shen Yindi said after trying it.
Si Qi was extremely hungry and couldn't wait to eat.
It seems that she doesn't have the dignity and ladylike manners of a woman at all.
Chu Yun and Zi Yan were very calm and leisurely.
Chu Yun was a princess, needless to say, she grew up in that kind of etiquette and dogma.
Zi Yan should also have some muscle memory engraved in her bones.
Even if she loses her memory, some of her habits will not change.
Si Yin looked at his sister while she was eating and just shook his head helplessly, not wanting to say anything.
Zi Yan, on the other hand, reminded him worriedly, "Qi'er, eat slowly, don't choke."
"Zi Yan, I'm hungry..." Si Qi's voice was vague.
Shen Yindi looked at him and couldn't help laughing. He was really careless.
But she was also really hungry!
"The food here is really delicious, comparable to Yipin Pavilion in the imperial capital." Shen Yindi commented objectively.
"Yes, I think it's delicious too!" Si Qi was the first to agree.
"Eat slowly even if the food tastes good. I'm really scared seeing your speed. If someone doesn't know, they would think you haven't eaten for five days!" Shen Yindi teased with a smile.
Si Yin held his forehead with his hand, feeling a bit of a headache.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all, but Qi'er is just like that..." He said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. I think it's very generous and I like it! It's not pretentious at all!" Shen Yindi was the first to support his good friend.
"Yes, Qi'er might really be too hungry."
"True character, I like it too."
Chu Yun and Zi Yan then expressed their opinions.
"Brother, did you hear that? They all support me! You don't have to look so helpless!" Si Qi said confidently.
She knew that her brother actually wanted her to be more ladylike.
But obviously, knowing that she couldn't change at all, he had given up.
“I’m worried that you’ll choke. It’s bad for your health!” Si Yin had his own concerns.
"It's okay, I know my limits!"
"Whatever you want." I don't care. It's a headache. Pavilion Master Si Yin has also let it go now.
Finally I filled my stomach a little.
Si Qi started pouring wine.
"How about trying some of their wine?"
Shen Yindi is okay with drinking some fruit wine, but she has never tasted this kind of wine.
But as the saying goes, it’s already here.
"If you don't want to drink, it's okay. Don't force yourself." Chu Yan said in a low voice.
"It's okay, I want to try it, just one cup is enough!" Shen Yindi's eyes were bright and he was eager to try.
"it is good."
Si Qi was very active and poured them all.
Chu Yun and Zi Yan did not refuse. Although they were not good at drinking, they had no problem drinking one or two glasses.
After taking a sip, Shen Yindi's eyes lit up: "This wine is not strong, and it's a little sweet! It tastes very good!"
"I think it's pretty good too."
I was about to have two more drinks when there was a knock on the door.
Si Yin approached the door, he stood up and took the initiative to open the door.
There were three young men in gorgeous clothes standing at the door.
Shen Yindi raised her eyebrows. Those royal families of Nanyue Kingdom?
What is this going to do?
