Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 38

When Tong Cheng'er entered the door, the first sentence was: "It's my fault for keeping my sister waiting."

Huiyu glared at her: "Soon, soon, it's not that I don't know you, it's good if I can come."

After getting acquainted with Tong Cheng'er, Huiyu also understood Tong Cheng'er's lazy temperament and didn't like to go out. It's good that she can come here.

Tong Cheng'er said with a smile: "My sister is burying me!"

"How dare I!"

The two chatted and laughed together, and the relationship seemed really good.

"By the way, this is the first time you have come to Wangyuelou. The dishes here are really good. You should try it out today."

"I heard from Rulan and Ruxue that it was the royal chef released from the palace, but I don't know if it's true."

Huiyu knew about this, she nodded: "It is indeed from the dining room in the palace."

It’s really the imperial chef from the palace. Since Huiyu is so sure, she must know something about Moonwatching Tower, and the owner behind Moonwatching Tower should also know about it. Tong Cheng’er doesn’t want to know about these things. I’ve thought about it. Don't think about it for a while.

Tong Cheng'er joked: "Then I'm going to have a good taste of this today, sister, don't feel bad for Yinzi."

Huiyu saw her playing tricks, and said with a smile: "Then you have to eat as much as you want, or you won't be able to reach the level that makes me feel bad."

After finishing speaking, Huiyu reported a series of menus directly, and then asked, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Tong Cheng'er has suffered a lot, is not picky about food, and has no special hobbies or taboos. Hearing that Huiyu ordered a lot, too much is a waste.

"My sister ordered all my favorite food. Today I have a good time!"

"That's fine, Qingzhu, tell Xiaoer, it's just that much."

"Yes, master."

After the two said this, the dishes came up in a short while.

Eating without talking has become a decoration for the two of them. These rules are also used to eat at the same table with unfamiliar people, and it’s okay to eat with friends. It’s a bit embarrassing if you don’t talk when you eat together!

So the two talked and ate.

Because Tong Cheng'er was skeptical about the chef's craftsmanship, she tried to savor it more carefully when eating, but found that she didn't have anything to choose from this dish.

Compared with the cooks in her house, she is indeed somewhat unique.

"This dish does not fall into the reputation of this No. [-] restaurant, it is really delicious."

Huiyu thought of the owner behind this restaurant, and agreed: "The taste is really good. If it weren't for Xiuyage not being able to make it, I would want to make it for many years. This dish really suits my heart."

Tong Cheng'er: "It can't be reserved, it's the same if you come often."

Huiyu shook her head, she might not be able to come here often in the future, if she married into Mongolia, there would be no chance for her to come back.

But let's not talk about these disappointing and unhappy things today.

Huiyu nodded as usual: "Yes, it's the same if you come here often, but speaking of it, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do it if you really want to make it. The Moon Tower is making a lot of money every day, and it takes a lot of money to make it once. , Although I have a lot of money, but it is not so rich."

Speaking of which, Huiyu couldn't help but feel sorry, it can be seen that Huiyu really likes the dishes of the restaurant.

"By the way, there is something I want to confirm with my sister. I don't remember where I saw such an article, saying that the people in the palace were afraid that the nobles would be used to eating delicacies, and they were afraid that they would not be able to handle the nobles' request. Is it true that many rare treasures are not reported to the point of offending people, and they are kept for their own enjoyment?"

After hearing this, Huiyu found it funny: "Where did you read the article? Although the imperial clan has a close relationship with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they are almost separated in terms of food and clothing. I don't know about this, but I think it should be It's not true, Long Live Lord Shengming, how can such villainous behavior appear in the House of Internal Affairs? Also, it's fine to talk about it in front of me. Don't tell others about it in the future, otherwise, maybe someone who cares will remember it Come down, then you will have a hard time."

Although Tong Cheng'er was still skeptical, she also knew that Huiyu had good intentions, and it was really not suitable to say such words. After all, it could be regarded as arranging the royal family.

"I wrote down what my sister said, and I also told my sister that I still have a sense of proportion to others."

Huiyu couldn't help but think a little more about her. She doesn't have many dear friends, Tong Cheng'er is one, so she naturally hopes that she will be safe and well.

"It's good to have a sense of proportion."

The two of them didn't take this seriously, but the people next door to them couldn't take it too seriously.

It's a coincidence that the Wangyue Tower was left behind by Empress Tong before her death. After she left, it was handed over to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen didn't have much interest in doing business at first, but he couldn't bear the need for food and clothing in the palace, and he was living a bit hard in his dream. He didn't want to treat himself badly with money, so he wanted to make up for it.

That's why the explosion of Wangyue Tower happened.

Speaking of which, Yinzhen didn't expect that Wangyue Tower would be so popular, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day.

Originally, it was nothing, although it was stated that court personnel were prohibited from doing business, but every family had slaves, and there was nothing less to do behind the scenes, and this was also a tacit thing.

But maybe it was too eye-catching, and then Yinzhen was sued by the third elder brother in front of Kangxi, saying that he was doing business and competing for profits with the people.

Yinzhen suffered enough from being silent in his dream, and made up his mind not to be like that in his dream, and then he "cryed" with Kangxi.

Kangxi thought that it was really not easy for Yinzhen. His cousin went away, and Concubine De did not treat him well. He thought that Concubine De had changed, but in the end there was a lot of trouble in the draft some time ago. She is not as important as Concubine Tong as a pro-mother. .

The more I think about Kangxi, the more I feel that it is not easy for Yinzhen. I heard that the restaurant was not well managed at first, and it was left to Yinzhen by his cousin. Yinzhen just gave some advice, and did not do much else.

The third elder brother came to complain about this matter, and Kangxi finally dealt with it by reprimanding the third elder brother. As for Yinzhen, he got a lot of rewards for nothing, which Yinzhen really didn't expect.

Then I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it is true that a crying child has milk to eat.

He just "cryed" for a while, and the benefits came. The biggest benefit was not the reward, but Kangxi's attitude towards him.

Wherever Kangxi's attitude is, what he did was right.

Because of this incident, Kangxi also became interested in this Moon-watching Tower. It happened that he didn’t have to go to the court, and he had nothing to do recently, so Kangxi led the prince and Yinzhen out, saying that he wanted to see the Moon-watching Tower. It's just to reflect on people's feelings by the way.

What's more coincidental is that Kangxi's private room is next to Xiuya Pavilion.

For a wooden house, no matter how good and expensive the wood is, it is still wood, and the sound insulation effect is very average. In addition, Kangxi and others are all skilled in martial arts, with good ears and eyesight. To Tong Chenger and Huiyu's conversation, it is a matter of listening. It's crystal clear.

As soon as Tong Chenger's words came out, Liang Jiugong was the most frightened. If others don't know, how can he not know?

He has never been involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he should know more than Kangxi.

Kangxi said to Liang Jiugong in a deep voice: "Tell me, is there anything that Ge Ge said in the House of Internal Affairs?"

Liang Jiugong hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is stupid and doesn't know the procurement process of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I hope the Lord Long Live will check it out."

Kangxi said: "It is necessary to investigate clearly."

In fact, it's not that he didn't feel it, but he just found it strange and didn't take it too seriously. Now that someone has found out, it's time to investigate, otherwise the group of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will really keep fooling around like this.
