Mr. Lin stared at the woman on horseback as she rode away, then turned around and said, "She built Tianxiang Tower under your noses?"
Huang Changsheng was a little embarrassed: "Yes, Brother Shen and I are both soft-hearted people. I thought she had never run a restaurant before, so it was just that she didn't understand the rules. If there is one more restaurant in Qili County, everyone will be more lively."
But I didn’t expect that this military girl was so full of tricks that she managed to steal the limelight from our family.”
"I'm afraid it's not as simple as just grabbing the limelight!"
Mr. Lin banged the folding fan in the palm of his hand and sat down at the table with a posture that he thought was very chic.
Huang Changsheng immediately stepped forward to pour tea. It is now popular in Qili County to make tea without salt.
After drinking it for a long time, he gradually got used to it. I have to say that drinking light tea in summer is more comfortable.
But Mr. Lin, who had just arrived in Qili County, was not used to it. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip before frowning and saying, "How can Boss Huang drink plain water?"
Huang Changsheng explained: "The weather is hot and the tea soup has a strong flavor..."
Mr. Lin waved his hand: "It's okay if you don't want to drink. Tell me about the important matter of picking up the military girl! How does she look, how old is she, and how is her marriage?"
Huang Changsheng was about to say something about Song Liyun being a rouge tiger in Broken Gold Town, but before he could say anything, he heard Mr. Lin ask "age and whether he is married". Is this... an important matter?
He couldn't help but look at Mr. Lin again.
Mr. Lin's name is Lin Qingyuan, he is twenty-three or four years old. His grandmother was the former Nanyang Princess. Although she has passed away, she left behind a rich estate and several uncles are also officials in various places.
Lin Qingyuan's father is the second oldest man in the family. He has no official career and only does business at home.
The Lin family owns more than ten shops in Pingyang Prefecture, and several villages outside the city. They also have businesses in other places. In particular, they are closely related by marriage to the Qi family of the imperial merchants in Hecheng.
Lin Qingyuan is the concubine of Mr. Lin, his concubine is charming, and this son also has a good appearance.
He usually idles around, relying on his family's wealth and power, and is a complete playboy.
These days, refugees gathered, the city gates of Pingyang Prefecture were closed, and a curfew was imposed in the city. It was inconvenient for Lin Qingyuan to wander around the city, and he could not go out of the city to relax in Zhuangzi, so he found an excuse to bring his maids and slaves to Qili County. To avoid disaster, he stayed at Zui Chun Building.
Huang Changsheng was well-informed. As soon as Mr. Lin moved in, he inquired about Mr. Lin's family background. Knowing that he was a noble man in the city, he served him diligently every day.
Seeing that Huang Changsheng was silent and did not speak, Lin Qingyuan said angrily: "I have a question for you! What does this military girl look like?"
"Alas! Mr. Lin also knows that these military households usually have to work in the fields and practice every month. They all come from poor backgrounds. Even if Song Liyun can run a restaurant, it is just a little clever."
Mr. Lin frowned: "I'm asking what the military girl looks like. What are you talking about? What does one restaurant mean? I have three restaurants in my family. Just tell her what she looks like."
Huang Changsheng despised him in his heart: He is indeed a playboy who was born as a concubine. He can’t even understand the meaning of his own words. Dragons and dragons give birth to phoenixes. If you want your daughter to be beautiful, your parents must be outstanding. He was born with a mud-legged family. What kind of outstanding girl can be born from such a family.
But he couldn't say this to his face, so he only said flatteringly: "There is no good color in these remote places. They are just middle-aged people. Compared with the young master, they are not even as good as a hair."
Lin Qingyuan touched his face. He was self-aware of his appearance. He was known as the "No. 1 Young Master in the city" in Pingyang Mansion.
Hearing that Song Liyun was just a middle-aged girl, she was immediately disappointed: "Well, how old is she? Is she married?"
Huang Changsheng knew this. Song Liyun's clothes and hair accessories were those of a girl who had not left the court. She was delicate and looked young, so he said casually: "I just got hairpins and haven't married yet."
Lin Qingyuan tapped the handle of the fan again, and suddenly felt it was tasteless: "It is green and tasteless, just like white water!"
Huang Changsheng's face instantly became colorful: Mr. Lin is happy to have a wife!
This taste is unique!
Song Liyun walked out of the city gate and rode hard all the way. She had been walking on this road for more than a month, and Ju Qingma could touch home even if she closed her eyes.
If she has something urgent, she doesn't need anyone to pick her up or accompany her.
After arriving at Suijin Town, Song Liyun did not go home but went directly to the health center.
Luo Baihu was sulking in his public room at this time, and shouted to Wang Zhong: "Look, those soft-footed shrimps in the Xuanwei Army only have the courage of rabbits and can't fight, but they are quite good at jumping.
If you don't know how to do it, get out of here, make way for me, and kill him alone."
Wang Zhong drank tea and ignored him.
This marching and fighting matter has its own arrangements from above. Besides, the duty of the guard station is to guard one place, and it can be arranged at will.
Luo Baihu started thinking in the room: "The prince supervises the country and makes up for the previous food and salary. Will the life of the Zhenbei Army be easier in the future?"
Wang Zhongdao: "It will always be better, at least military pay will no longer be withheld."
Although the prince oversees the country, the power is actually still in the hands of the important ministers.
The food and salary that had been swallowed up in the past had long since been wiped out. Officials from various governments had constantly created obstacles for the Zhenbei Army. How could the grievances of these years be wiped out in one go?
Not to mention that the prince has just taken charge of the country, even if he has ascended the throne, he still needs to sort it out slowly.
No matter what, it is always a good thing for the prince to supervise the country.
While the two were talking, a soldier reported that Miss Song was here.
Luo Baihu's eyes lit up: "Let her come in."
Song Liyun brought three hundred taels of silver, of which one hundred taels were for the mutton during these days, and the other two hundred taels were a 50-50 dividend with Song Liyun after deducting the cost.
Wang Zhongxi smiled broadly. Tianxiang Tower began to make profits half a month after taking over, and now has an income of several hundred taels.
Luo Baihu was even more happy. He had silver in his hand and could do whatever he wanted.
At present, there are more than a dozen sergeants from the guard station who have applied to settle down in Ruijin Town, waiting for him to settle them.
Increasing military households will be of great benefit to Broken Gold Guards without any harm. The family members will follow the army and the military morale will be stable.
That is, when people come, they must first have a house.
In addition to the dozen or so yards in the town, Luo Baihu also needs to tidy up the land and reclaim some land.
Now that I have money, I can speak more forcefully.
Song Liyun waited for Wang Jun to count the silver, and then said with a smile: "Master Baihu, Master Jiang said that Tianxianglou should hand over one thousand taels of silver to him next month."
Luo Baihu's reaction was dumbfounded, but he was not furious as Song Liyun expected. He just nodded and said: "I understand! If he wants money, he must first come to me."
His face was calm, but the voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Seeing that there was nothing to say about the silver, Song Liyun continued: "The Wan family wants a hundred sheepskins."
"It's easy to get the sheepskin! I'll get back to you in five days." Luo Baihu immediately became energetic and promised, patting his chest.
Now the Wuda tribe specially drives a group of sheep to graze in the Huangsha River. If you want sheep, just tell them and they will be killed on the spot.
It’s easy to get sheepskins, but they need to be sent from the tribe.
