Chapter 177 Irony
Zou Ping shook his sleeves angrily, stepped out of the flower hall, and left without looking back.

Beside the door, Dongli was about to follow him and beat him up, but was stopped by Lu Chengting.

Xiao Jinyue put down the teacup, and was about to go back to the private room to continue looking at the ledger, but when she stepped out of the flower hall, she saw Lu Chengting outside the door.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Xiao Jinyue glanced at him, her face was usually indifferent, and she didn't know how long he had been here.

Xiao Jinyue hesitated for a moment, but asked directly, "Did you hear what you said just now?"

Lu Chengting didn't hide it either, "That Zou Ping doesn't seem to be a good person, you should be more careful when you go in and out, and it's best to remind the shop assistants to be more vigilant."

She wasn't worried that someone would make trouble, or that the shop would be set on fire again.

Whether it's the guys in the store or the people working in the workshop, they are all under her father's staff.

If someone dares to make trouble, it will only make them come and go.

However, Lu Chengting's reminder was also a good intention, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Xiao Jinyue nodded, "Don't worry, I will remind everyone to pay attention. By the way, you came to see me, is there something wrong?"

"I came out to do business and happened to pass by here, so I came to have a look. Have you used the lunch at noon? If it's useless, would you like to eat some together?"

Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised to hear that Lu Chengting invited her to dinner.

"Okay, but I haven't read the account book yet, so you have to wait for me first." But after thinking about it for a while, she agreed, anyway, she was going to eat, so let's go together.

"Don't worry, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Jinyue asked the guards to carry Lu Chengting's chariot into the hall, and asked the servant girl to serve him tea and a plate of pastries before returning to the private room to continue looking at the books.

After spending a cup of tea, he read the account books, talked with the shopkeeper about the business issues, and finally reminded him to let the people below pay attention to prevent people from coming to the sugar shop and workshop to make trouble.

After dealing with everything that needs to be dealt with, Xiao Jinyue went downstairs to the small flower hall in the backyard.

"Have you finished reading the ledger?" Lu Chengting was holding the teacup. Seeing that she came back so soon, he was a little surprised. He was prepared to wait at least an hour.

Xiao Jinyue nodded, "If it hadn't been delayed by that Zou Ping for so long, I would have finished reading it long ago."

The account book of the sugar store uses her modern accounting method, the accounts are clear and clear, and she looks natural and fast.

"Where are you going to eat?"

"Is there anything you want to eat, is there any taboo?"

Xiao Jinyue shook her head, "There are no taboos, I don't pick what I eat, as long as the ingredients are fresh, clean and hygienic."

"Then... how about going to Juwei Pavilion?"

In fact, Lu Chengting has no good ideas. Although he grew up in Kyoto, he has been guarding the border all year round, and he rarely returns to Beijing. He is very unfamiliar with the restaurants and teahouses in Kyoto, but he is a little familiar with Juwei Pavilion.

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Jinyue actually misses the taste of chili a little bit. Although she is not very good at spicy food, she would like to change the taste occasionally to increase her appetite. It is a pity that there is no chili in this dynasty.

When the two arrived at Juwei Pavilion, it was time to eat, and the lobby on the first floor was full.

The guards carried the chariot into Juwei Pavilion, and many diners looked sideways.

Xiao Er heard the movement, turned her head to look, and was taken aback for a moment.

But soon he greeted him with a smiling face, "Guest officer, how about dinner?"

Xiao Jinyue looked around the lobby, the seats on the first floor were already full, and there was not a single vacant seat.

Xiaoer saw Xiao Jinyue's movements and knew that she was looking for a seat, so she hurriedly said with a smile, "Well, I'm really sorry, it's time for dinner, and there are no vacant seats on the first floor. However, there are private rooms on the second floor .”

Xiao Jinyue shook her head at Xiaoer, "We don't want a private room."

Xiao Er glanced at her unexpectedly, there were not no wives and girls who came to Juwei Pavilion, but they seldom dined in the lobby, and usually went to the separate private room on the second floor.

Xiao Jinyue ignored Xiao Er, but turned around and asked Lu Chengting, "Why don't we change places?"

Although there is a private room on the second floor, Lu Chengting's legs are inconvenient now, and it's not easy to go up the stairs in a chariot, so it's better to change to another place.

Xiao Jinyue was talking to Lu Chengting when suddenly a silly voice came from behind.

"Hey, a good dog doesn't block the way, why did you even carry the chariot in, how did you get there?"

Who speaks with such a stinky mouth?
Xiao Jinyue turned her head to look, and there were seven or eight aristocrats in brocade clothes standing behind, and the blue-robed man standing at the front was staring at them with raised eyebrows.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue looking back, the man in blue robe paused for a moment with astonishment on her face, then turned to Lu Chengting.The man waved his folding fan and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this the son of Duke Zhenguo? I heard that your legs are already disabled. Why don't you just stay in the mansion and come to Juwei Pavilion?"

Xiao Jinyue frowned, that young master didn't know whose family belonged to him, and he spoke unscrupulously.

Although the man spoke in a bad tone, they were standing at the entrance of the lobby blocking the way. Xiao Jinyue signaled the guards carrying the chariot to lean aside to make way.

Lu Chengting glanced lightly, saw that it was just a group of dudes, turned his gaze away and said to Xiao Jinyue, "If you don't want to eat here, then change to another place?"

The man in the blue robe was ignored by the two of them in public, and suddenly felt embarrassed. He shook his folding fan and sneered, "There are no seats in the lobby. Didn't Xiao Er say that there is a private room on the second floor. The son of the Duke of Zhen has disabled legs and can't walk. Do you want me to have someone drag you up?"

What the man in the blue robe said was really insulting.

The lobby was still a little noisy at first, but after hearing the man's words, they all fell silent, and no one dared to speak.

Although many people felt that the blue-robed young man's words were too much, no one dared to refute them.These princes and brothers knew at a glance that their identities were not simple. They were just a group of ordinary people, and no one dared to offend them.

To the blue-robed man's words, the young masters who came with him did not stop him, on the contrary, two or three laughed loudly.Although the other few didn't smile, they still looked like they were watching the excitement with their hands folded.

"Young master, could it be that you ate a lot of dung today and forgot to brush your teeth before going out?"

Xiao Jinyue didn't want to pay attention to such a group of dandies, thinking that if they got out of the way and let them pass, the matter would be over.

But the man in the blue robe spoke too much. Lu Chengting was a second-rank national general at any rate. Without him and the old man guarding the border all the year round, how could these dudes live in peace.

They didn't say they were grateful, but they laughed at Lu Chengting for being disabled in public, and even said that someone would drag him upstairs.

No matter how good-tempered Xiao Jinyue was, she couldn't help but get angry, and once again yelled at the man in the blue robe, "Young master, you went out without brushing your teeth. It's already rude, so it's better not to speak too much.

Also, does your family live by the sea, and the management is so wide?I don't need you to worry about our family's grandson's affairs. You should take care of yourself first if you have time. "
