At the beginning of the game, I brought the cubs into exile, and I took the miserable husband to ove

Chapter 154. Chapter 153.

As soon as he got out of the crowd, he saw the Laifeng Restaurant next to him.

"Let's go, this is the house."

Fu Yinong didn't choose anything, and led Fu Xiaoxuan directly into the room.

"Guest officer, please go upstairs."

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Er immediately came over to take Fu Yinong and Fu Xiaoxuan upstairs. Fu Yinong glanced at it, and found that the downstairs lobby was already full of people, and there was indeed no room for them to sit, so the two followed behind the shop Xiao Er went upstairs.

As soon as I went upstairs, I found that the upstairs was also full of people, the waiter said with a smile on his face.

"A lot of customers came to the store today, all for the annual beauty pageant. If the two guest officials don't mind, there is a private room in the store."

"Then go to the private room."

Fu Yinong was too lazy to continue looking for a place. Looking at it like this, the other restaurants are probably full, so it would be nice to catch up with a private room.

The waiter in the shop laughed even more happily when he heard it, so he quickly led the two of them to a private room on the third floor. It was called a private room, but it was more like a tea room, and it happened to be at a corner. No wonder no one took advantage of it. , pay the same money as a private room, but sit in the tea room to eat, but anyone with status can't afford to lose this person.

But Fu Yinong didn't care about his status, it happened that the small private room was quiet and facing the window, which was very satisfactory.

Seeing that Fu Yinong is so talkative, the waiter in the shop, who was already very friendly, suddenly became more friendly.

Fu Yinong ordered four or five dishes, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed egg with fresh shrimp, braised lion head, spicy fried veal, red bean soup, and two more bowls of rice.

"Mom, come and see, it's so lively."

Fu Xiaoxuan lay in front of the narrow window, watching several colorful palanquins coming towards him downstairs, and excitedly shouted at Fu Yinong.

As the sedan chairs got closer and closer, the sound of gongs and drums became louder and louder, and the cheers and screams of the crowd became louder and louder, both lively and noisy.

Originally, Fu Yinong didn't like to make noise, but seeing Fu Xiaoxuan so happy, he stood behind him and followed him. Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew away one of the soft veils around the sedan chair, revealing a beautiful face.

"Wow, as expected of the young lady of the Zhang family, she is so beautiful."

"I think Miss Zhang's family will be the leader in this competition."

"It's still too early to say. There are not many other things in Wuyang City, but the most beauties and fine wines. Miss Zhang's family can only be counted as one of them. I'm afraid it's still far away from the leader."

"I think Miss Li's family is also pretty good, she's on equal terms with Miss Zhang's family."

"Not bad, not only are there a lot of participants this year, but there are also a lot of beauties. It's not a waste of time."

Downstairs, the gongs and drums were blaring, and there was a turmoil of people, and everyone was discussing the looks and talents of the young ladies of each family.

Fu Xiaoxuan is just a child, he doesn't know how to appreciate beauties, he just likes to join in the fun.

Fu Yinong is not even interested in these things, he just wonders what the beauty pageant chooses for, and it's not the emperor who wants to choose a concubine, but this is just heard by the waiter who brought the food in, and he is immediately happy and smiles Said to Fu Yinong.

"Guest officer, you are really right, this is choosing a concubine for the emperor."

"Ok?"

Fu Yinong was surprised now, as far as she knew, Shun and the Concubine Xuan were elected once every three years and once every five years, but this city of Wuyang was elected once a year.

It seemed that he could see Fu Yinong's doubts, and only listened to the waiter in the shop who took the initiative to explain.

"This city of Wuyang has to participate in the selection of tribute wine every year, and when the tribute wine is presented to the emperor, it needs a waiter. The waiter cannot be a man, but an official woman. Isn't this Is it a perfect opportunity to show your face in front of the emperor?"

"Besides, there are only two places for tribute wine each year, but there are many officials in Wuyang Mansion, young and old, who should be chosen as the wine server, and some people will not accept whoever they choose, so ah, there is a The annual Tribute Liquor Tasting Conference and Beauty Contest.”

"You are late, the tribute wine tasting conference has already passed, but you are lucky to catch up with the beauty contest."

Fu Yinong listened, and then she understood, and then she guessed that the fire in Haojiu Village was probably directly related to the emperor's selection of concubines. If he wins the leader, then he has the qualification to enter the palace to offer tribute wine.

The people behind the scenes directly snatched this recipe from him, and then this qualification will fall into their own hands. As long as they win this beauty contest again and send their own family's young lady into the palace as a bartender, once they are Shunhe Emperor fancy, that is one step to reach the sky.

This calculation is really clever, no matter whether the wine is selected or the person is selected, money and power can always be the same.

Thinking of this, Fu Yinong couldn't help asking.

"Which two girls are the most vocal?"

The shop waiter smiled again and said.

"The inquiry is so clear, is it possible that the guest officer wants to make a bet? If the guest officer wants to place a bet, the villain will boldly suggest that the guest officer bet on Miss Zhang's family."

"Miss Zhang's family is amazing. Not only does she look like a fairy, but her piano and dancing skills are even better. There is no one who is not outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"And the Zhang family behind her is even more incredible. It is said that they are related to the queen."

The waiter in this shop is really well informed. Fu Yinong saw that he wasted a lot of saliva here, so he took out a two taels of silver from his purse and threw it to him.

"Hey, thank you for the reward, the guest officer. The villain will not delay the guest officer's meal. The two guests, please take it easy."

The store waiter was so happy that he quickly stuffed the broken silver into his belt, bowed his head and said a few words before bowing and retreating.

After the waiter left, the mother and son looked at each other, remembering this house in their hearts.

"Eat, let's go shopping after eating."

Fu Yinong picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into the bowl in front of Fu Xiaoxuan.

"Mom, you eat too."

Fu Xiaoxuan smiled and gave Fu Yinong a braised lion's head.

The mother and son did not continue to pay attention to the bustle outside, and concentrated on eating.

In another private room just across the wall, a handsome man dressed in brocade clothes is staring blankly at a sedan chair passing by downstairs. The reason why he came to Wuyang Mansion in such a hurry this time is , because he suddenly received news that someone was going to attack him, and the method used was this tribute wine.

He has always been in charge of the tribute wine in the palace. If there is a problem with the tribute wine presented to the father, then his position as the crown prince may be lost.

Therefore, he hastily asked his father for leave, intending to come over to watch the selection of the tribute wine in person, but unfortunately, there was an accident on the way, which delayed the time, causing him to miss the tribute wine tasting meeting, but just in time This beauty contest.
