Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 273 Another coincidence?

At Wu Ji Restaurant, with Wu Shiming's instructions, the owner had already regarded Xu Yuan as half the boss.

As for Qi Shengxin, the legitimate son of the Prime Minister, all the important people know him.

Although the restaurant owner was not a prominent figure, he had worked in a big restaurant before, so some children of officials knew him.

Now that the two of them were sitting together, the shopkeeper did not dare to be careless and served the dishes himself.

Unexpectedly, despite being very careful, an accident still happened.

A waiter lost his balance when serving the dishes and fell down.

Although he caught the dish quickly, he still hit the teacup on the table.

The teacup was facing the wish and wet the wish's clothes.

The shopkeeper felt bad and immediately bowed to apologize, "Mr. Xu, this waiter has just arrived and saw you two young masters, so I lost my composure for a moment. Please forgive me, Mr. Xu."

It was an unintentional mistake, so Xu Yuan didn't want to make a fuss about it. He wiped off the tea and said, "It's okay. The weather isn't cold, so it won't matter. I'll go back and change into something else later."

The shopkeeper was about to respond.

The waiter who knocked over the teacup said hurriedly, "Mr. Xu, you should change your clothes. The restaurant has prepared clothes for guests. If Mr. Wu knew what happened today, he would definitely kick me out. Please give me a chance to make amends."

"It's okay." He made the wish with the same original words.

Qi Shengxin also felt that there was no need to change clothes, so he followed suit and said, "The clothes will be dry in a while. You are not a woman, so there is no need to be so particular. Mr. Xu is generous and will not make a fuss with you."

The waiter immediately said in panic: "Thank you, Master Qi, thank you, Master Xu."

After saying this, he left with the shopkeeper.

After the two of them left, there was no one else in the elegant room.

Qi Shengxin picked up the chopsticks and said, "Let's eat first. After dinner, I'll ask the driver to take you home."

"it is good."

Xu Yuan picked up the chopsticks and after picking up two dishes, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and his hand slowly stopped picking up the dishes.

Qi Shengxin saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and slowly looked at himself.

She didn't wear anything on her body, and she didn't put anything in her clothes, except for the soft sword...

From the looks of it, she didn't have anything valuable on her, but why did the waiter just now ask her to change her clothes?

The waiter in Wu Ji Restaurant is not a temporary employee.

She had never eaten here before and would not come again, so it was unlikely that someone would be arranged to come here specially.

The more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong with making a wish.

Therefore, when Qi Shengxin asked, she stood up and said, "I just remembered that I forgot to buy something. You eat first, I'll be back soon."

Qi Shengxin thought of the waiter just now, put down his chopsticks and said, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Xu Yuan responded, picked up his clothes and went out. He happened to see the waiter outside the private room.

He was waiting outside the door with a food tray in hand, his ear pressed against the wooden door, looking eerie no matter how you looked at him.

Xuyuan walked over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The waiter slowly turned around, and when he saw Xu Yuan, he felt something was wrong, and said hesitantly: "I, I, I'll come up to serve the food."

"Really? Since you're delivering food, why don't you knock before going in?" Xu Yuan's eyes swept over the plate, and when he looked back, his eyes became sharp, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"me……"

"If you don't tell me, I can only tell the shopkeeper that you have bad intentions and are not suitable to stay in Wuji Restaurant. You should know that although Wuji Restaurant has just opened, its business is booming and it never delays paying wages. If you leave Wuji Restaurant, you will definitely not find a better place to go."

Xu Yuan didn't like to threaten people, but the current situation didn't give her more time to ask more questions.

This waiter is too suspicious.

She had to ask.

"Mr. Xu, please don't tell the shopkeeper. I'm telling you the truth. Just now a carriage came downstairs, and a maid got off. She gave me a piece of silver and asked me to eavesdrop on what you said to Mr. Qi, and then tell her."

After the waiter finished speaking, he quickly took out the silver and said, "Mr. Xu, I don't want this money anymore. Please don't tell the shopkeeper about this. My whole family depends on this money to make a living."

Xu Yuan didn't say anything. He took the silver and weighed it, and a familiar fragrance came to his face.

But for a moment, she couldn't remember where she had smelled this scent.

Xu Yuan returned the silver and asked, "What does that woman look like?"

"She was tall and thin, with a veil on her face. I couldn't see her face." The waiter pondered over it, and when he remembered a detail, he immediately spoke excitedly, "I remember she had an emerald green hairpin in her hair. It was an exquisite hairpin, and it must have been a family heirloom."

It's too difficult to figure out who the other person is based on just this one feature.

Since she is wearing a veil and not showing her true face, it must be difficult to find her.

Xuyuan is unwilling to take the trouble of difficult things.

Anyway, there was no secret in what she and Qi Shengxin talked about, so it didn't matter if someone heard it.

So, Xu Yuan waved his hand and said, "I won't tell anyone about what happened today, but you must remember not to do this again. Qi Shengxin is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If anything goes wrong, can't you take responsibility?"

The waiter nodded repeatedly and said, "It will definitely not happen again! Master Xu, I will serve the dishes right away and then leave. I will definitely not eavesdrop."

Xu Yuan followed the waiter and was about to go in.

Someone called her from behind.

"Master Xu."

Xu Yuan heard the voice and looked back towards the stairs.

Qi Shengzhu came slowly, and when she saw Xu Yuan turning around, her slightly raised eyebrows gently dropped. She smiled and said, "At first I only saw your back, and I thought I recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it was really you."

"Miss Qi." Xu Yuan bowed slightly, and then said, "Miss Qi is also coming to Wuji Restaurant for dinner today?"

"Although Wuji Restaurant has just opened, it is well-known. I also want to try it." Qi Shengzhu said, his eyes turned slightly, and when he saw Qi Shengxin, he was surprised and said, "Brother is here too, but did you two make an appointment?"

Xu Yuan nodded, and seeing that Qi Shengzhu was alone, he invited him, "If you came alone, why not come together? It happens that your brother is here too."

"That's the best thing."

Qi Shengzhu lifted her skirt and walked up the stairs in small steps, saying as she walked: "I was just talking about today's test, but my brother hasn't come back yet, and I don't know how he did. Now I have a chance to ask."

Xu Yuan nodded, and the two walked side by side to the private room. Just as they sat down, they heard someone outside shouting loudly: "Princess Changqing is here!"

Xu Yuan has always been unmoved by these things.

Qi Shengzhu went to the window, opened it, turned around and said to Qi Shengxin: "Brother, Song Xiujing has really become a phoenix. Even the hairpin used by the maid beside her is almost the same as mine."

How can a maid be compared with a legitimate daughter?

Knowing that Qi Shengzhu said this on purpose, Qi Shengxin said helplessly: "The maids in the Princess's Mansion are naturally better than others, but they are definitely not better than you."

"Really? If you don't believe me, come and have a look. I saw that green hairpin yesterday. It was sold for four hundred taels. It's on her head today..."

Green hairpin.

Xu Yuan paused for a moment and suddenly remembered what the waiter had said before.

"I remember she had an emerald green hairpin in her hair. It was very delicate and must have been a family heirloom."

Xu Yuan immediately walked to the window, feeling very anxious.

Will it be the same person?

Or is it just another coincidence?
