As soon as Lin Jinxiao arrived in the garden, he heard dissatisfied complaints coming from the pavilion next to the artificial pool: "This person named Chu has disgusting intentions. The restaurant is the main hall for entertaining guests, so he placed us here.
"
Looking at the arrogant and rude Lin Jinqian, Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan was speechless.
But after all, she was the Queen Mother's daughter and the biological sister of King Qinghe. He didn't dare to offend her, so he had to secretly wink at the third child.
Lin Tingkai nodded understandingly and advised: "Niece, you are deliberately being picky. After all, we are not ordinary people, so naturally we cannot sit with those ordinary people. This garden has not yet been opened and is used to entertain us. Princess Pingning is really considerate.
"
Although he hated Chu Nanzhi, he didn't want to argue with that girl over such a trivial matter, letting the emperor's niece make a fool of herself and make everyone look bad.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this place has been carefully decorated with flowers, and the lamps and chrysanthemum bonsai everywhere are placed in an orderly manner. It is precisely to cater to the hobby of enjoying the scenery and feasting during the Double Ninth Festival, and it is obviously used to entertain people.
For distinguished guests.
Concubine Yue Guifei was quite dissatisfied with what Lin Jinqian did at the door of the restaurant just now.
If she hadn't been resentful that Chu Nanzhi had snatched away her money bag, she would have been moved by this girl's arrangement today.
There was a long queue outside the restaurant. This girl thought of carefully setting up such a nice place to entertain these uninvited guests. She really had good intentions.
It's okay for Lin Jinqian to be arrogant and unreasonable, but don't bring trouble to others.
After sorting out her thoughts, she also followed her earnest advice: "Sister Qian, we are just here to join in the fun today. It is the day when the restaurant opens, so don't leave anyone with anything to say."
Thinking of what happened just now, she couldn't help but say something more: "Sister Qian has a noble status and is the heart of the Queen Mother. But after all, she followed the Tang Governor to Luyan Port. She is no better than in Jingling City. She is not as strong as the dragon."
You bastard, we came here uninvited and without informing you in advance, so there is no reason to ask people to greet you in person. Don’t embarrass the Governor."
These words awakened Lin Jinqian.
Although my husband leads the three armies of Pingning Prefecture, he must be controlled by Lin Jinxiao after all.
Looking at the accusing glances from everyone, she could only reply sadly: "I just think that everyone is kind enough to come to support us, but Princess Pingning only asked a servant to come to greet her, which is not the way to treat guests.
"
Tang Ru seemed to have lost his patience with her fussing and stubbornness. He frowned and said: "Princess, please stop making trouble unreasonably. You originally just called the big shopkeeper to come out to greet you, but the little boy called the big shopkeeper out for you."
Yes, the reception arrangements have been made, what else do you want?"
"I"
Lin Jinqian was holding her breath in her heart, but she couldn't express it.
Anyway, she would have to pay back Lin Jinxiao's bad temper for Tang Rusai's beauty sooner or later.
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao coughed deliberately, quickened his pace and walked up quietly.
When Tang Yuanxi saw the beautiful strokes, she ignored her angry sister-in-law and stood up first to greet him. She called with a smile: "Brother Jinxiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well recently? Has your leg disease recovered?"
"very good."
Lin Jinxiao answered calmly, then walked around her and walked straight to Lin Tingkai and Lin Tingyan. He cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know that Concubine Yue and the two imperial uncles were here. I missed the welcome from afar, but I hope you can forgive me."
"Jin Xiao, you're welcome."
Lin Tingyan waved his hand disapprovingly: "I came here rashly and disturbed you and your wife. It's up to me to apologize to you."
Concubine Yue also pretended to be nothing and smiled and said: "Today I heard that Qinghefang and Jushengfang were very lively. It happened that Princess Qian came to the treasure land for the first time, so I brought her here to join in the fun. Prince Pingning doesn't have to be polite. Don't be so polite.
We affected the restaurant’s business.”
Tang Yuanxi still didn't know why Lin Jinxiao agreed to allow him, the princess, to come out to do business. Since he came to support the scene in person, he should be given this face.
Thinking about her sister-in-law's rudeness just now, she did not dare to blame her, but could only earnestly please her sweetheart:
"What the noble concubine said is absolutely true. Brother Jinxiao, don't worry about us. Although it is unseemly for the concubine to open a restaurant in public, but at this level, we can't let the money we put in go down the drain. Jinxiao
Brother Xiao, you should go help the princess and sister-in-law to greet the guests. If the restaurant's business is booming, it will make Brother Jinxiao worry less."
"What the princess said makes no sense. My princess made money by relying on her own abilities. She neither exploited nor exploited the people, nor cheated. How can she lose her dignity?"
Lin Jinxiao was quite annoyed by her words that sounded like concern. As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced meaningfully at her brother Tang Ru.
When Tang Ru thought about the casino, he suddenly felt guilty and replied with a stiff smile: "Yes, yes, your highness is teaching you that the imperial court has an order to support business, and the princess's move is for those official women who complain about the imperial court all day long.
We have set an example. As long as we do not violate the court's prohibitions and do not seek personal gain with power, the princess's diligent style should be praised."
"The praise is too strong."
Lin Jinxiao sat down casually and smiled calmly at everyone: "Although what my princess did was not a righteous act that benefited the country and the people, she was self-reliant and opened her business in an orderly manner. Even if she lost money, she just relied on
Her determination to be independent and self-reliant should be regarded as a leader among women, and it is better than those nobles who openly despise merchants and lowly people, but secretly support merchant families to make money for themselves."
These words of criticizing Sang and Huai directly caused everyone to frown darkly.
Lin Jinxiao was too lazy to continue chatting with everyone and pretending to be polite. After all, he came here on behalf of his wife. He had fulfilled his friendship as a landlord, so he said bluntly: "Since Concubine Yue and the two imperial uncles are here to enjoy the scenery.
Yes, the little king will not disturb your enjoyment, and will go and send someone to prepare a dinner for you. If you have any errands, please tell the shopkeeper."
After saying that, he immediately told Sang Kun: "Master, please entertain all the distinguished ladies on behalf of your master."
Then, he bowed his hands to everyone and strode away.
Sang Kun secretly glanced at the helpless nobles and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
This must be the only one who can greet the nobles in the palace like this. If it were placed in an ordinary restaurant, I'm afraid it would be out of business.
After all, these people are not sincere in their support. They have exhausted all the courtesy and benevolence.
Looking at the gloomy faces of everyone, Sang Kun asked cautiously: "Are you going to prepare a dinner for all the distinguished ladies now?"
"No need."
Lin Tingyan waved his hands with a wry smile, looking at the few people with sad expressions, but he couldn't help feeling happy in his heart.
None of these people here are the most popular figures in Jingling City. They never thought that Luyan Port would be scolded by a former poor settler, and they still couldn't find fault.
It's really a relief.
Concubine Yue wanted to see what was so attractive about the Chu family girl's restaurant, so she quickly gestured to everyone: "Princess Pingning has arranged such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't we be living up to her good intentions if we just leave here? Since we have already
Come here, we might as well stay and try the cooking skills of the restaurant chefs."
"That's fine."
Lin Jinqian was worried about not being able to find a solution.
King Pingning was so arrogant, wouldn't it just be in line with his wishes if she left right now?
