good meal

Chapter 278 Looking forward to hello
Chu Liangrao's arrangement made Chu Chaoyang feel relieved. The invitation was indeed vague. If something went wrong, it might be involved in political affairs. Inviting someone from outside would not only guarantee security, but also avoid trouble. It really kills two birds with one stone.

This matter has not yet come to fruition, but the matter in the store has some clues. The woman who came in because of Zhu Yong, who looked honest before, has become very active in the past few days. Going to the restaurant, Zhu Xiucai was reluctant to pay such a fee.

The purpose of her doing this is to find out how much work these embroiderers can do on weekdays, and how much they are paid.

Fortunately, these people had been reminded before, so even though they ate and drank well, they didn't reveal much.

After a lot of busy work, it turned out to be nothing but fetching water from a bamboo basket. Just when Zhu Xiucai thought she would make the next move, this woman suddenly disappeared from the world.For a while, Zhu Xiucai seemed to be confused by the Erzhang monk, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring a letter to Chu Liangrao.

Chu Liangrao had heard of it, but it was no surprise. People must have seen that she was not accepted. Knowing how to retreat completely was an idea, but this person disappeared, so Chu Liangrao let her go. Zhu Xiucai went to the yamen to file a record, so as not to cause any trouble in the future.

This time Zhu Yong specifically asked to accompany him, and he was relieved when things were over.

Seeing Zhu Yong like this, Zhu Xiucai didn't say anything, just raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

Rubbing his forehead, Zhu Yong said: "Don't be afraid of Mr.'s jokes, these few days are really difficult to sleep and eat, fortunately, he is gone."

"Well, since I'm relieved, I have to work hard in the future."

"It's natural." Zhu Yong promised, "I will definitely make achievements, so that the shopkeeper will be willing to meet me in person."

"Good boy, have ambition." Zhu Xiucai said with a smile.

Zhu Yong said modestly: "This time, thanks to Mr.'s help, the banquet has been prepared at home, and I hope you will appreciate it."

"I have to drink this wine, but let's drink it outside. After dinner, I have to go back to the store to do business."

Zhu Yong did as he pleased, found the most acclaimed shop on this street, set up a table of good food, ordered a pot of good wine and filled it up for Zhu Xiucai himself, then he picked up the tea in his hand and said: "Sir, I also know that it's not good to drink alcohol, so I had to replace the wine with tea."

Seeing that Zhu Yong knew how to restrain himself and quit drinking, Zhu Xiucai nodded secretly. After drinking a glass of wine and eating a few small dishes with chopsticks, the two started talking again.

Zhu Yong said: "This restaurant has a good reputation, but right now, it seems that it is not as delicious as the side dishes that Mr. brought back that day. I wonder if Mr. can tell me where you bought those dishes?"

Zhu Xiucai picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said mysteriously: "It's just a few side dishes, but they are not easy to eat. As for where you can get them, you can't say."

"Oh?" Zhu Yong became more curious, and asked, "Could it be a gift from the shopkeeper?"

"You're smart, kid." Zhu Xiucai said.

Zhu Yong couldn't help feeling even hotter in his heart. Sure enough, if it wasn't for the princes and nobles, how could they afford such exquisite delicacies?Thinking of this, Zhu Yong felt envious, but he also believed that as long as he cooks well, he will have the opportunity to taste such delicacies again in the future.

After eating and drinking, Zhu Yong went back to the shop, while Zhu Xiucai pointed out something and walked away.

Zhu Yong did not doubt that he was there, and walked straight forward, while Zhu Xiucai carefully looked around, and finally came to the backyard of the Huo Mansion and knocked on the door.The door opened a crack, and seeing that it was Zhu Xiucai, the person inside opened the door and said, "Mr. is here."

"I won't go in, you just need to tell the princess that the matter has been settled."

"Don't worry sir, this servant understands."

After a while, Chu Liangrao found out about this matter, she nodded, and she knew it.

Randomly flipping through the book in his hand, Chu Liangrao didn't lift his head.

Ding Xiang asked: "Princess, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious." Chu Liangrao said nonchalantly, "By the way, the income in the store this month is pretty good. I'm thinking I should make some embroiderers regular."

Ding Xiang thought for a while and said, "The princess already has a plan?"

Chu Liangrao put down the book in his hand, and said: "Of course there are, but after all, I am not watching in front of me, so I don't know how these people behave, so Mr. Zhu has to worry about this matter."

After saying this, Ding Xiang understood, and she said: "Princess, don't worry, this servant will tell my father."

"Yeah." Chu Liangrao sat up, stretched her waist, and pressed her waist with her hands, she said, "In this weather, people can't cheer up, and want to take a nap all day long."

Ding Xiang smiled and said: "The princess must have forgotten that you made a lot of new things last winter."

Having said that, Chu Liangrao also remembered it, and she also felt that it was okay for her to be so lazy all day long, so she said, "What's your idea?"

"Why don't you invite people to sing the opera?" Ding Xiang asked.

Shaking his head slightly, Chu Liangrao said, "Where is there room in this mansion for acting?"

With such a mention, Ding Xiang couldn't help being embarrassed. Indeed, in the palace, there is a separate courtyard for singing and opera, but now this mansion is still a little smaller.And now it's freezing cold, going out is not a good choice. Thinking about it this way, there is really nothing to do. It's no wonder that Chu Liangrao is bored. What can she do in this mansion now?
Thinking about it, Ding Xiang comforted: "Princess, this time the county magistrate has made military achievements, so he can definitely move to the mansion."

"You know that too?" Chu Liangrao joked with a smile, and then sighed, "It's not certain if this ability can be obtained, it's fine if it doesn't exist, nothing is more important than anything else."

In fact, Chu Liangrao had already prepared money and could change to a bigger house at any time, but she did not make any move.She wondered, if everything was done by herself, would Huo Tainan lose her enthusiasm for improvement?
Because of this, Chu Liangrao didn't intend to look at the house anymore, and now Huo Tainan's military achievements have spread, but it has also aroused criticism.Most of the officials in the court thought that Huo Tainan's move was inappropriate. It was a pool of still water, but because of Huo Tainan's disturbance, it could be regarded as boiling.

What's more, it was said that Huo Tainan's crime was to be punished, but Chu Chaoyang did not tell Chu Liangrao about this, for fear that she would start thinking wildly again.But Chu Liangrao also guessed that those officials have always been pervasive, and they are more capable of creating controversial topics than the paparazzi. It would be strange for them to calmly let Huo Tainan take the credit.
