Chapter 121 New Store Opening

Gongsun Qing is an important minister in the court and holds military power.

It is the person that countless people want to make friends with.

It's just that Gongsun Qing has always been lonely in the court, so there are very few people who can get close to him.

When his father was still alive, he had told him that holding the military power in his hand and turning his hand into clouds and rain was as easy as the palm of his hand.

It's just that as an important minister in the court, you must know the word loyalty and righteousness, and you must know how to be cautious and independent.

The emperor bestows a marriage, no matter what the secret is, but in the end it cannot escape the word "scrupulous".

The reason why he agreed immediately when Princess Wen Zhi mentioned the marriage proposal was not just because of love.

More is to hope that Gongsun Qing can truly become his own person.

Gongsun Qing knew it in his heart.

And he is more aware of the power of Princess Wenzhi's concubine's family, and he can't add unnecessary trouble to himself no matter what.

Even without the appearance of Li Shishi, his thoughts were the same.

Back at the mansion, Gongsun Qing was a little tired.

He took a jug of wine alone, and sat in the gazebo wearing a fox fur cloak to drink for himself.

A boy brought a well-made charcoal stove, which warmed the pavilion.

The stars twinkled in the sky, and there was silence all around.

Once this feeling of silence is amplified, even the air becomes extraordinarily deserted.

"Shh-"

A flying knife with a cold light flew towards Gongsun Qing.

He dodged in an instant, and the flying knife chopped straight into the tree behind the gazebo.

Then Gongsun Qing got up quickly, and at an extremely fast speed, quickly hid behind the pillars of the gazebo.

He looked around vigilantly, but found that there was nothing but the throwing knife.

Then several guards appeared in front of Gongsun Qing

"Grandpa, how are you doing?"

"No problem." Gongsun Qing appeared from the pavilion: "Is there anything unusual just now?"

"The subordinate is incompetent." The guard knelt down on the ground: "I didn't notice anything unusual just now, but I just heard a noise in the gazebo, so I came here to check."

"The person who can avoid my guards and enter the mansion must be very skilled." Gongsun Qing stood with his hands down.

Then he ordered: "Go, bring that flying knife over here."

"Yes." Jinwei replied, then got up and went to the tree to take down the throwing knife.

"Master, there is a letter on this flying knife."

While talking, the guard took off the note on the flying knife, and then tested it with the drug testing needle he carried with him before giving it to Gongsun Qing.

Gongsun Qing took the note and opened it for a look, only to see that it said: "See you at Yueyang Tower tomorrow at noon."

He looked at the writing on it, frowned, crumpled the letter up and threw it into the fire.

Then he turned to Jinwei and said, "You all go down."

"Yes!" Jin Wei replied, and then disappeared into the dark night.

The woman from an ordinary family that Gongsun Qing mentioned was preparing for the opening of a new store at the moment.

Wu's restaurant has been operating very well, but unfortunately the store is too small, and sometimes it is too late to clean up when it is busy, resulting in the loss of many customers.

After discussing with Li Shishi and the others, they decided to expand the restaurant and rented a large shop in a prosperous part of the town.

And this shop is divided into upper and lower floors, and the lobby on the first floor alone is twice as large as the previous shop.

The space on the second floor is also very large, and the best thing is that there is a small yard behind the restaurant, which can also accommodate people.

Originally, the predecessor of this shop was an inn, which closed down due to poor management.

Li Shishi took this opportunity to sell the entire shop.

It took two months to rent the house and add decoration.

But now that spring is just around the corner, Aunt Wu asked someone to choose a good day, and invited a team of dragon and lion dancers to have a good time in front of the gate.

Today's Li Shishi also specially put on a newly made skirt, stood at the door of the restaurant and stretched out her hand to tear off the red cloth on the signboard.

"Great opening bonus, free drinks, half-price meals, everyone is welcome to come and taste!"

The restaurant was overcrowded, and Li Shishi was as busy as a spinning top.

The young and old in Hongxing Village came to congratulate Wu family restaurant when they knew about the expansion of the restaurant.

And Song Liu, who has been busy with the tofu shop, rushed over after delivering the tofu.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time because of their busy business. Now when they saw Li Shishi, Song Liu almost couldn't recognize her.

"Big girl Shishi!" Mrs. Song Liu stood at the door and looked at Li Shishi and waved.

Li Shishi heard someone calling her, and when she turned her head, she saw Song Liushi, and she was overjoyed for a moment: "Sister, why are you here?"

"Look at what you said, I can come and see such a good thing."

When it was close, Liu Song gave the gift to Li Shishi.

Li Shishi looked at Song Liu's obviously bigger figure and asked: "Sister, you are living too well, are you getting fat?"

"Look at what you said." Song Liu gave Li Shishi a coquettish look, then took Li Shishi's hand and placed it on her stomach.

Li Shishi was both surprised and delighted, and asked, "Sister, do you have it?"

"Yeah." Song Liu nodded a little shyly: "It's been five months, and this little brat makes a lot of noise every day, which makes me unable to eat well or sleep well."

"Oh, it's all like this, you still come here with a big belly, if there are too many people colliding, it's a disaster!" Li Shishi said worriedly.

Song Liu waved his hand: "Oh, it's okay. Ever since I was pregnant, your brother-in-law didn't let me go out and told me to raise my baby at home. Do you think I can be the one who can live at leisure. No, it's easy to say Your brother-in-law just took me out to have a look. If it weren't for you, I guess I would still be drinking bitter medicine at home." Song Liu complained again and again.

Li Shishi joked with a smile: "You are always restless."

Then she glanced left and right and asked, "Where's brother-in-law?"

"He." Song Liu said and glanced at the door, and saw that her men were chatting with people who came to eat in the village, and then she pouted at Li Shishi and said, "Here, there it is."

Then she smiled and said, "It's thanks to you. If it weren't for the recipe you gave, we still have to sell tofu in the village. How can we come out to see you now?"

Li Shishi was a little embarrassed: "What I said, if you hadn't saved my life at the beginning, let alone the tofu recipe, I probably wouldn't know which grave I was lying on by now."

Then she realized that Mrs. Song Liu was pregnant, and hurriedly changed her words: "It was wrong, it was wrong, bah bah bah."

Seeing Li Shishi's nervous look, Song Liu burst out laughing instantly, and then said: "Come on, my son is not so timid."

Li Shishi giggled, and then said: "There are a lot of people in the front hall. You are pregnant and afraid of knocking. There is a private room on the second floor. You can go up first. I will make some delicious food for you later."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Mrs. Song Liu walked upstairs with a smile.

Just after taking two steps, she turned around and asked, "Big sister, do you still have sour plum soup? I've been so hungry for this for a while, I can't sleep thinking about it."

Li Shishi knows that pregnant people have tricky mouths, and they must eat whatever they want immediately.

So she smiled and said, "Yes, there are not only sour plum soup, but also appetizing pastries. You go up first, and I will come right away."

"Row!"
