Chapter 76
Hongsheng Restaurant has become famous recently because of the debate competition hosted by the great scholar Zhang Yong. Every day, it is crowded with guests and distinguished guests.
Because Hongsheng Restaurant was always full every day, it finally had to introduce a reservation system and add a minimum consumption amount to limit the selection of guests.
Xie Zhan was reading a brochure at Hongsheng Restaurant. The owner and the owner of the restaurant were all standing aside respectfully.
Hongsheng Restaurant will prepare a debate competition on the 27th, 28th, and 293rd, and the debate topics will be carefully prepared.
These three days are considered the finals, they are very important, so it is necessary to set a threshold and then filter a group of people. In addition, they have other arrangements, and all safety measures must be taken, and the guests in these three days must be manually screened.
The booklet in Xie Zhan's hand records all the people who want to reserve seats at Hongsheng Restaurant for these three days, including many dignitaries, businessmen, celebrities, and well-educated people.
Xie Zhan looked at them one by one so that he could know them well. He even has the power to cross out inappropriate people.
Soon, his eyes were fixed on a certain line in the booklet, "The Lu family wants to book a private room with the blue name on the second floor for the 28th?"
The young master replied, "Yes, Mr. Xie, do you want to order the Lan name to them?"
Xie Zhan pondered for a moment and said, "Give it to them."
On the 28th, they will invite Emperor Kang Cheng out of the palace for this debate competition. This will be a feast. That's why they pay close attention to the security of the restaurant. After all, if something happens to Shengjia in Hongsheng Restaurant, it won't be a joke.
From the 27th to the 29th, there was a three-day arena competition, but the Lu family had only booked a spot for the 28th, which already explained a lot of problems.
Xie Zhan was somewhat sure at this time that there was an expert behind the Lu family. It would be a good idea to let him see how the Lu family broke the situation.
In fact, Lu Songli wanted to reserve Lan Zihao for three days, but the shopkeeper of Hongsheng Restaurant told her people that because Hongsheng Restaurant had too many guests recently, including many dignitaries, in order to give everyone a chance to feast their eyes on it , so they had only one chance to order the Lan name in these three days. After Lu Songli thought for a moment, she asked her people to book a private room for the 28th.
On November 28, Lu Desheng was summoned to the palace early in the morning to accompany him.
Due to the restrictions and screening of guests, Hongsheng Restaurant is no longer overcrowded. Only people with status can come in. Even scholars are talented people. On the contrary, it enhances the style of the arena competition.
Lu Songli brought her mother and brother to Hongsheng Restaurant early in the morning. Qin Sheng would also come later. She originally wanted to invite Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin Sanshao to come together. But the third young lady was about to give birth, so she declined her invitation. Mrs. Qin is in poor health due to her recent hard work and will take care of herself at home. But both were grateful for her invitation.
When Lu Songli heard about Mrs. Qin's situation, she figured that now that she had more money, she would go back to pick some authentic medicinal materials and make some health-preserving pills that would strengthen the body. Her parents can also use such health pills, but they are just for Mrs. Qin. The weight of some medicinal materials is heavier, and the effect may be better. As for how to add or subtract, you have to carefully check her physical condition. Decide.
Qin Sheng arrived a quarter of an hour later than them.
As soon as he came in, he was favored by his mother-in-law. She called him to her side and asked her questions cordially. Even Lu Mingzhi, who was usually the most popular with the Jiang family, was pushed aside.
This was the first time Lu Mingzhi met Qin Sheng, the future second brother-in-law. He thought to himself that this second brother-in-law is so young. He is not the same type as his former second brother-in-law Xie Zhan. The latter is more mature. After all, Xie Zhan is already seventeen. , two years older than him.
"Second brother-in-law, I am Lu Mingzhi." Lu Mingzhi greeted Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng sat upright and replied in a very serious and solemn manner, "I have long admired you, Mingzhi, my name is Qin Sheng."
In fact, Qin Sheng was upset by the second brother-in-law's voice, but he tried his best to endure it, and then his ears turned red.
His unsociable side made Lu Mingzhi snicker, hehe, there is finally a thin-skinned person in their family, "I know, second brother-in-law."
The blush at the base of Qin Sheng's ears became more obvious.
Lu Songli glanced at her brother, wouldn't your conscience hurt if you bully an honest person like this?
Lu Mingzhi giggled, but thought in his heart, what does it matter? Anyway, you are married by the Queen Mother, and it is impossible to break off the engagement.
A technical nerd and a sports expert, two people who had almost nothing in common, turned out to be Uncle Lang. What a wonderful fate.
Mrs. Jiang drank tea and looked at the quarrel between the children with amusement.
Lu Songli had to change the topic, otherwise she was afraid that if she continued, Qin Sheng would get angry.
"A Sheng, how are Liu Erxi and the others doing lately?" When asking, she handed him a cup of tea. This cup of tea is already cold, it should be able to cool him down a bit.
Qin Sheng picked it up and drank it in one gulp, "You have recently found work for them and given them money. In their words, it couldn't be better."
"That's good." It's appropriate to ask people to work and pay them. Moreover, it is more convenient for them to do some things if they are from the market than if they are the stewards of the government.
Qin Sheng added, "My eldest brother and third brother are here, right next door."
Lu Songli drank tea, just to watch the excitement and not take it too seriously.
As soon as Qin Sheng finished speaking, Qin Heng and Qin Sanlang arrived outside the door.
After all, the Jiang family is the elder, and Qin Heng and others are juniors. Since they have all come to Hongsheng Restaurant, it is appropriate to pay a visit.
Jiang quickly invited people in.
After the two sides chatted for a while, Qin Heng took Qin Sanlang back to the box next door, leaving Qin Sheng behind.
When the arena match was about to begin, Hongsheng Restaurant suddenly became tense.
The atmosphere was immediately different.
The emperor is here? Lu Songli secretly guessed.
Lu Songli's guess was correct. Emperor Kang Cheng and a group of courtiers went to Hongsheng Restaurant incognito and settled into the largest and most luxurious box on the second floor of Hongsheng Restaurant.
Thanks to his father's help, Xie Zhan was able to meet the saint and was left behind.
Lu Desheng said quickly, "Your Majesty, the children of the ministers are also at Hongsheng Restaurant." Xie Mingtang, you have to take your son with you, and I will take my son and daughter with me! Huh, why should you be so beautiful?
After speaking, Lu Desheng looked at Emperor Kang Cheng longingly.
The ministers scolded Lu Desheng for being shameless in their hearts, and some looked at Xie Mingtang angrily at him.
The attentive minister looked sideways, this Lu Desheng is very courageous, his youngest daughter and son are only fourteen or fifteen years old, right? Isn't he afraid that they will behave inappropriately before the emperor? The kind-hearted Prince Gong couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
Lu Desheng was very calm and his daughter was smart, so he was not worried that she would not be able to cope in front of the emperor. And his daughter is infinitely better than Xie Zhan. If Xie Zhan can come, why can’t his daughter? If these people were so worried, then he should strive for it. Lu Desheng would not want to miss any opportunity that would allow his daughter to grow.
Because of Zhao Bin's incident, Emperor Kang Cheng was quite curious about Lu Songli, the second daughter of the Lu family. It was rare to see such a ruthless girl. Besides, he had just agreed to meet Xie Zhan, the eldest son of Xie, and now Lu Aiqing mentioned it. Sons and daughters, this face should still be given.
As a result, Lu Songli and Lu Mingzhi were summoned by Emperor Kang Cheng.
When Lu Songli started to go to where the imperial driver was, Qin Sheng held her and whispered to her, "Before the imperial driver, you should deal with it carefully and don't talk nonsense."
Lu Songli looked at his serious handsome face in amusement, knowing that he meant to tell her not to wander. This young man was also worried about her.
"Don't worry." She patted his arm, then passed him and walked out.
Lu Mingzhi followed closely behind.
As soon as her children left, Mrs. Jiang saw that she was the only one in the box, and there was also her considerate son-in-law, so she simply took him to the box next to her to join Qin Heng and others.
When they arrived in front of the Holy Emperor, Lu Songli and his brother bowed politely and met the Holy Spirit. After Emperor Kang Cheng asked them to stand down without any ceremony, the signal for the start of the arena match came downstairs before they even asked a word.
Lu Songli took her younger brother and quickly stood behind her father. This seat happened to be opposite Xie Zhan, and the two people's eyes were separated as soon as they touched. The men will see the real chapter later, so there is no need to start a war now.
After the pair of children stood up, Lu Desheng glanced sideways at Xie Mingtang, "Your Xie family has a Qilin son, and my family also has a heroine." Now Lu Desheng is an old father proudly showing off his treasure.
The other ministers are sour. What's going on? Xie Mingtang and Lu Desheng, why did you drag your entire family to Hongsheng Restaurant today? I always feel like I'm missing something.
They were all summoned by the emperor when they were on official business. They didn't know the reason at first. Only after the emperor took them out of the palace did they know they were coming to Hongsheng Restaurant to watch the ring competition.
It's a pity that the children at home didn't come to Hongsheng Restaurant to join in the fun. Otherwise, I can also get a chance to meet the emperor. It doesn't matter whether I behave or not. At least I can show my face in front of the emperor. Maybe it will be used in the future?
