Mrs. Tan didn't want to go to the banquet, so she deliberately asked the coachman to drive at a faster pace, out of everyone's sight. However, someone stopped the carriage on the way.
Fourth uncle Lin Bo opened the curtain angrily and was about to yell, when he saw a familiar face emerging from the oncoming carriage. He quickly and joyfully called out to Mr. Tan in the carriage: "It's Princess Yuanxi."
.”
"Hey, isn't this the fourth uncle of the Lin family?"
Lin Jinqian had long realized that it was the Lin family's carriage and was stopped by someone. At this time, she deliberately stuck her head out and feigned surprise to greet him.
"It turns out to be Princess Qian and Princess Yuanxi."
Limbaugh had a smile on his face.
"I heard that King Pingning and his relatives went to visit the palace. Why didn't my fourth uncle go?"
Lin Jinqian also asked with a smile.
"We have already visited. Now my grand-nephew and grand-daughter-in-law are taking everyone to the restaurant. Today the grand-daughter-in-law has prepared a banquet at the restaurant."
Lin Bo replied respectfully, but his face was full of disappointment.
"Oh, why didn't fourth uncle go?"
Lin Jinqian suddenly became angry and cursed secretly: "This couple of dogs didn't even notify me when they visited the palace. I don't know how they settled the princess's sister."
Mrs. Tan also hurriedly poked her head out and pulled Lin Bo into the carriage. Not letting him answer any more, she faced Lin Jinqian with a smile and changed the subject: "Where are you going, Your Highness the Princess?"
"I"
Lin Jinqian paused, then said with a stiff smile: "My restaurant is being decorated, and I'm about to take the little princess over to take a look."
He no longer mentioned the visit to the palace.
"I have long heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess also wants to open a restaurant in the city. I have admired Her Highness the Princess' reputation for a long time, and I also want to add some money to make Her Royal Highness the icing on the cake for her restaurant."
Mrs. Tan suppressed the anger in her heart and said to Lin Jinqian with a forced smile: "I wonder if it would be convenient for Your Highness the Princess to come to the humble residence for a chat?"
"The fourth uncle also wants to do business with this princess?"
Lin Jinqian was happy but also quite surprised: "I'm afraid my fourth uncle has found the wrong person. You should be looking for Princess Pingning. Her restaurant business is booming right now."
"Ahem, she's not good at doing business."
Tan felt sour in his heart, but still pretended to sigh with disdain: "It's just because of my great-nephew's reputation and his connivance that I attracted some people who like to join in the fun to have a look and wait for this rare event."
Sooner or later it will close down."
At this point, she couldn't help but stare and taunted: "Let a slave take care of the restaurant, and I don't like her just because of this."
Lin Jinqian was convinced by his conclusive words.
It was rare to meet someone who valued her so much. Lin Jinqian felt very happy in her heart and said bluntly: "Since it is the fourth uncle who wants to buy a stake in the restaurant, I agreed. There is no need to go to your house to discuss it. The fourth uncle only needs to send the money."
Just come to the Duwei Mansion, and from now on, the fourth uncle will be the number one stockbroker of my princess restaurant."
"Then thank you, Your Highness Princess, for making it happen."
As soon as Tan finished speaking, Lin Jinqian hurriedly replied: "Fourth uncle, please go back home early. This princess is still in a hurry to go to the restaurant."
The Lin family members were rushing to buy shares, and she was waiting to show off to Chu Nanzhi, so she had no time to chat with an old woman here.
After saying this, he ordered the groom to turn the horse's head and hurried towards Qinghefang.
As soon as Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao arrived at the gate of Qinghefang, they saw a large group of craftsmen on the opposite side busy preparing for the restaurant. The momentum was comparable to the scale of building a state capital.
Through the car curtain, Chu Nanzhi saw the four characters "Gaosheng Restaurant" reflected on the door opposite.
"Gaosheng?"
It's only been a few days, and the plaque has already been hung up.
Chu Nanzhi sneered with some disdain: "I want to prevent you from getting promoted."
If Tang Ru hadn't been sending 10,000 taels of silver over every month, Lin Jinxiao would have wanted to order someone to tear it down immediately when he looked at the eye-catching sign.
I'm afraid that the ignorant Princess Qian is the only one in Luyan Port who dares to openly provoke his wife in this way.
Looking at the indifferent Chu Nanzhi, he said with some displeasure: "I think the reason why Princess Qian was able to help Tang Yuanxi persuade the Tang family and the Queen Mother to grant a marriage was because she had bad intentions and wanted her to secretly imitate you after entering the palace.
These secret dishes.”
After thinking about it, he said with some anxiety: "The dishes you have developed are not difficult to imitate. As long as you watch them a few times, you can actually make them almost exactly the same."
"Well, you're right."
Chu Nanzhi smiled evilly.
After all, Lin Jinxiao can make it exactly like the gourd painting and ladle every time he watches it.
"It's true that things on the surface are easy to imitate, but things on the inside are impossible to imitate."
Chu Nanzhi glanced at him meaningfully: "Let's just talk about the dishes you cooked. It does look the same as what my mother, Azhu and Axiang cooked, but when you taste it carefully, it lacks something soulful.
, not to mention those secret dishes in the restaurant, the process is even more complicated and cannot be easily imitated."
Seeing her confident attitude, Lin Jinxiao guessed that she was talking about the secret sauce.
This is really something that no one can imitate at will. Just like the Qi family's original secret sauce, it is a unique recipe that cannot be copied unless the person who handles it personally passes it on.
After all, my mother-in-law, two aunts and Mrs. Zhou are all shrewd people, and they are determined not to fall for Tang Yuanxi's tricks.
Thinking of this, he suddenly lost his worries and pulled Chu Nanzhi out of the carriage, only to see that the four little treasures all became unhappy.
"Come down quickly."
Lin Jinxiao urged the little guys in the carriage: "My father and your mother have to entertain guests today, so you are not allowed to mess around."
"Dad, just now the second grandma said that we will go to Beijing with Aniang in a few days, won't you go with us?"
Dabaolin Ruiwen asked unhappily.
The other little guys also looked lonely.
"My father is not in good health and he has to stay at home to look after the house. Your grandma also needs someone to look after him."
Lin Jinxiao looked at them gently and coaxed: "Grandpa Chang and Grandpa Nie will accompany you there. Dad has also arranged a lot of guards to protect you. It won't take long for you to come back."
"But we don't want mom and dad to be separated."
Sanbao Lin Ruichong pursed his lips and his voice was trembling, as if he was about to cry.
This was actually what Lin Jinxiao felt, but in front of the children, he could not make unreasonable troubles. Looking at the embarrassed Chu Nanzhi, his expression suddenly became solemn and he said sternly: "This time your mother was ordered to enter the court.
Otherwise, how can she be an official? If you don’t want to accompany your mother, then stay at home and let your mother go to Beijing alone."
"No, we want to accompany my mother to Beijing."
Sibaolin Ruijia was afraid that her mother would abandon her, so she immediately got out of the carriage obediently, threw herself into Chu Nanzhi's arms, and begged bitterly: "Aniang, I don't want to stay at home, I want to go to Beijing to protect Aniang."
"Of course mother will not keep you at home. Mother will take you with her this time."
Chu Nanzhi said anxiously to comfort him.
Knowing that Lin Jinxiao was trying to scare the children, the purpose of this trip was to take the little ones to see the Empress Dowager, so how could they be missing these rightful owners?
But as soon as she finished speaking, Sanbao started crying alone.
