Lord Jiaren County has always been very fond of Xu Pingyi, and this love seems to be a kind of charity.
Only today, when she saw such a handsome yet upright Xu Pingyi, she could no longer remain calm.
Jiaren County Lord put his hands on the window edge and stared at the retreating figure. He only had one thought in his mind, I am determined to make a decision on this man.
The procession on the street went away, and the ladies reluctantly sat back to their seats from the window. As soon as they sat down, they happily discussed the Jinshi they had just met, telling them one by one their origins and whether they were married.
At the same time, the dishes were brought in one by one.
The dishes are exquisite in style and taste very good. Even a group of young ladies ate everything on the plate in front of them.
Xu Nuo was very full and secretly praised He Yuetang's choice of chef. However, such delicious food actually reminded her of the person who was still in the military.
Xiao Yuan has always been very confident in his cooking skills, saying that his talents in other areas are less than one-tenth of his cooking skills. He always said that he put a lot of effort into practicing martial arts and didn't sleep in for countless years before he could reach the level he is at now. But in terms of cooking skills, he can make very delicious food without having to work hard. This is exactly what he said. A manifestation of his talent.
Xunuo held the chopsticks and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
When he comes back, each of the chefs in Heyue Hall will be asked to cook a special dish to let him know that his cooking skills are not yet the so-called best in the world.
Although she doesn't know how to cook, but she has money and no talent, so what does it matter?
The lady in the box had finished her meal and was about to leave when a commotion came from the box next to her.
"You are simply asking for random prices, but how can an ordinary lunch be worth three thousand guan." Someone shouted sharply.
The shopkeeper's voice came, calm and calm: "Madam, I wonder if you have dined at Heyue Hall before. The prices here are always higher. Of course, today is a special day and the private rooms are in short supply, so I ordered the ones in the private room. The prices of dishes have also increased a bit, if you eat the same dishes on the first floor, the prices will be much lower.”
"I thought...of course I've eaten here! But..." But I didn't know how much it cost.
The lady who spoke looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Her mother had always asked her to have a good relationship with the head of Jiaren County. She had known earlier that Jiaren County mainly watched Jinshi parades, and the newly opened restaurant on Yu Street this year was very suitable for watching, so she specially invited Jiaren The county magistrate came here to watch and have lunch.
She prepared a thousand guan, thinking that a meal for four or five people would definitely be enough. She didn't expect that when she paid the bill just now, she said that they had eaten 2,000 guan, and she had to pay another 1,000 guan for the broken porcelain bottle.
She doesn't have that much money.
It's all the shopkeeper's fault for throwing such a person in front of Jiaren County Lord today!
"You never said this before." County Lord Jiaren couldn't stand it anymore and coughed before saying.
"County Master, the waiter should have told you when ordering, and it was also written on our menu." The shopkeeper had met County Master Jiaren before, so he stepped forward, saluted, and then handed over the menu.
The head of Jiaren County waved her hands and said not to look at it. She said: "Of course I, Ning Wangfu, can afford a meal, but I will pay what I should pay, and I will pay what I shouldn't. No matter how much money I have, I will pay for it." , and it won’t cost you a penny more. How can we have to pay for the broken ornamental porcelain vase? It was clearly knocked down accidentally by your boy."
Jiaren County advocated a lot of porcelain and knew that the ornamental porcelain vase she broke was indeed valuable, so he passed the responsibility back to the boy in Heyuetang.
After hearing this, Hu Ling whispered something shameless. The Lord of Jiaren County was obviously trying to ruin He Yuetang's reputation.
Hu Ling held on to Ping Ji to stand up, Xu Nuo held her back and said, "Listen to what the shopkeeper has to say."
This is the shopkeeper she chose. She has always been very aware of this shopkeeper's business capabilities, but she doesn't know his emergency response capabilities. Today is the perfect time to take a look.
I heard the shopkeeper smile and say: "County Master, since it was a boy who broke it, I will ask him to come up and apologize to you. I wonder what this boy looks like? You tell me, and I will ask him to come up." The shopkeeper looked like he was going to criticize the boy severely.
When the Lord of Jiaren County heard this, his face turned dark.
When she smashed the bottle, no servant had entered the box. The door seemed to be open at that time, and she wondered if anyone saw it.
Just as County Master Jiaren was thinking about what to say, the lady who spoke earlier pointed to a boy outside and said, "That's him. I remember it very clearly. It was the porcelain bottle he broke when he went out with the menu."
The lady who came with her immediately agreed.
"Yes, that's him."
"I saw it too, it was him."
"It's so shameless. You broke the porcelain vase and you dared to accuse us of it!"
The ladies pointed at a little man outside the door and scolded them.
The head of Jiaren County looked at the boy's face carefully and had no impression at all. He just hoped that the shopkeeper would know the current situation and let the boy recognize it.
Unexpectedly, the waiter knelt down and said: "This... little one, the little one is not ordering food, the little one is preparing to clean the box. Before the Jinshi Parade is over, the little one is on the first floor, and all the guests on the first floor are... I've seen Xiao Xiao. The county boss and shopkeeper are really not Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao still has to earn money to buy medicine for his mother at home..." You can't unjustly accuse Xiao Xiao like this.
The head of Jiaren County glared at the lady who had spoken before. The young man had a rag in his hand, and it seemed that he was here to clean.
You won’t even look for someone to take the blame, that’s really stupid!
Seeing more and more people watching the fun outside, the county magistrate Jiaren felt panicked. When had she ever been so ugly? She was extremely unhappy, but she still raised her head and said, "I don't care about the price of a porcelain vase." , put it all in my account."
The shopkeeper greeted us with a smile and said: "County Master, we paid for our meals with Yuetang on the spot. Can anyone please go to the first floor with me to pay the bill?"
When Hu Ling heard this, she was very happy and clapped her hands: "This shopkeeper is really good, Liu Niang, you..." Where did you find it?
Before Hu Ling could finish her words, Xu Nuo covered her mouth. She realized that the others hadn't left either and hurriedly stopped.
After returning home, Xu Nuo's eyelids twitched when she thought of hearing County Lord Jiaren and others saying that she would not marry unless Xu Pingyi was in the box.
In the early days, the eldest brother was just an idle young man. It was impossible for Prince Ning's Palace to marry the eldest daughter to the Xu family just because of the eldest brother's appearance and excellent jade carving skills.
But now that the eldest brother has passed the Jinshi examination, the situation is very different.
It can be seen that the head of Jiaren County really wants to marry her eldest brother. If she begs Prince Ning to give some advice to her father and ask him to go to Prince Ning's palace to propose marriage, his father may be able to find a way around it, but at worst he will offend Prince Ning. But if you beg to the emperor, it will be miserable if the emperor grants you a marriage.
There was nothing the father could do despite the holy decree, so the eldest brother had to marry the head of Jiaren County.
Such a arrogant Buddha really cannot enter the Xu family, not to mention that the eldest brother doesn't like her.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Nuo felt that the only way for her eldest brother to be truly safe was to let County Lord Jiaren get engaged to someone else first, preferably if the emperor granted marriage to her and someone else.
