Chapter 548: A Coincidental Encounter?

But what does the crisis in the Pingchuan Marquis Mansion have to do with her? So Li Qianqian didn't pay attention to it at all.

She is still happy to eat and drink, and occasionally gives the cooks a few words of advice, and the cooks are busy, but she still feels very happy, and every time she speaks, the advice she makes often benefits them a lot.

Li Shu and Zhang Lao launched a series of actions, as for what it was, he didn't tell Li Qianqian, and Li Qianqian didn't want to ask, in dealing with the problem of the Dharma protectors, Li Shu has always been very arbitrary, and he doesn't let others have room for beak at all.

So Li Qianqian doesn't ask, at most he is in charge of their diet and rest, Jin Yi now has an apprentice, and he no longer needs to bow down to everything, although he still has a lot of things to do with Li Shu, but compared with before, it is much better.

Liu Er was also very busy during this time, Li Shu kept asking for people from him, and in addition to coping with this request, he also had to coordinate business dealings with Fengjiazhuang.

Next is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is an inn that is inevitably going to hold some activities, hoping that the guests can have a different Mid-Autumn Festival, and it can be different from previous years, so that every guest can leave a deep impression.

Because Li Qianqian said casually before, the chefs made a series of dim sum with lotus fragrance, so the shopkeeper and the directors all have high hopes for her, hoping that she can make persistent efforts and continue to achieve better results.

Li Qianqian thought about it for a long time, and finally asked the director and the shopkeeper to be invited, and everyone brainstormed to see if there were any better opinions.

In the end, the event of the day, residents can participate for free as long as they report their room number, and if they want to invite friends to have fun, they can enter by purchasing tickets with their room number.

The day's activities start early in the morning, there are flower viewing parties in the morning, and poetry parties, if you don't want to participate, there are also new product launches in Jinyifang and Tianbaofang, and at noon, there is a buffet banquet, all the dishes at the banquet are listed by the chefs, and all the guests participate in voting to decide.

Because it is a buffet, so the previous hot-selling lotus cake, lotus cake and other dim sum, the day is unlimited supply, as many guests like to eat as much as they want, the only requirement is that they have to eat it all, not allowed to take out.

This form of dining is unprecedented, people who can afford to live in an inn, either rich or expensive, usually have someone to help with cloth dishes, like this all meals, all put on a long table, by the guest holding the plate, to eat the dishes they want to eat, how much they want to eat, all according to the guest's own will.

Let these pampered guests feel very novel, and after the dishes are ready, as the guests are happy, they can find a place to sit down, or hold a plate, and stand together with relatives and friends to share.

Anyway, it's up to everyone, how happy you are.

In the afternoon, there are activities such as boat racing and throwing pots, as well as storytelling, singing, singing, etc., for old ladies and ladies who don't like to move.

In the evening, there is a moon viewing banquet at the back of an inn, on the square of Linchuan, and there is a fireworks show after the banquet.

The activities are full, and take into account all age groups, such as the lady and wife who love shopping can participate in the new product launch, and the son, lord or lady, and wife of good poetry, calligraphy and painting, the poetry will be a good choice for them.

The children's activities are similar to those of adults, but the venue is different, and the children's activities are indoors, which is for the safety of the children.

Residents see that there is an inn for their children thoughtful, naturally happy, many people to find the shopkeeper to make an appointment for the next housing, but the time is not certain, because the reservation has been scheduled to next winter, they have an inn this year for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but next year will definitely not be, because next year's Mid-Autumn Festival reservation is full.

There is an inn of business mode, gradually to the way of the resort, to stay here, is to come here to have fun, do not need to go out of the inn at all, want to shop there is a place to shop, want to play, there are all kinds of amusement places, Li Qianqian plans to have an inn, and then a fixed auction, so that those who love to collect antique treasures, come to an inn, do not need to go out to auction.

The shopkeeper was secretly surprised by her idea, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, there is an inn that has a daily business project, which already includes various programs on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the Mid-Autumn Festival program has been specially integrated and new items have been added, such as a buffet.

There were also opera troupes and juggling classes before, but it was often the guests who asked for it, so they went to invite, and this Mid-Autumn Festival was the first time that their inn invited these people to perform.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was a complete success, when the shopkeeper finished checking the accounts in the account room and came to send the account book to Li Qianqian, she couldn't help but ask her, can she do this during the festival in the future?

"Okay, in addition, you can also make room reservations before and after the festival, and the accommodation fee during that period should be increased, otherwise we will lose money for the event." ”

The corners of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched when he heard this, he really didn't see the loss there, but when the owner said this, there must be a problem that he didn't see.

Li Qianqian didn't go around in circles with him, and directly took out the paper and showed it to him, "Where, do you understand?"

"I see!" the shopkeeper realized, "The little one is still thinking, there is a loss!"

"Almost all of our earnings this time came from the new product launch of Jinyifang and Tianbaofang. ”

Li Qian's head was shallow, "Yes, you see, it costs money to invite opera troupes, jugglers and other artists, as well as the cost of the buffet, as well as the fireworks show at night, these don't cost money? But our income, in addition to the money earned from the presentation, is also the ticket income, the guests can enter the venue for free with the room number, and the calligraphy and painting meeting, poetry meeting, boat racing and other activities, but also give prizes, these are all expenses, the event is lively, the reputation is out, but there is no income!"

"So, vacate the reservations for the days before and after the holiday, and increase the price of the house to cover these expenses, otherwise we don't have to lose money if we want to come to this time every holiday. Li Qianqian paused, "Also, every festival is played like this, and soon everyone will be surprised, so in a year, just pick one or two festivals to do, don't be greedy." ”

The shopkeeper also figured it out, if he really wanted to do it every festival, the manpower would be overwhelmed.

"In addition, we can customize our own festival according to the characteristics of our inn, such as an anniversary. ”

"Huh, anniversary, what is this?"

Li Qianqian asked him, "What do you think is the characteristic of our inn?"

"Waterfront with lots of water activities. "It's a great place for men to cool off.

"Yes, so we set the anniversary for summer, when did it open?"

"The eighth day of the eighth month of August. "The shopkeeper also had his birthday in early August, so I remember it very well.

"This is a bit troublesome, the eighth day of August and the fifteenth Mid-Autumn Festival are less than half a month apart. Li Qianqian knocked on the table a little annoyed.

The shopkeeper saw that she was displeased, and made a tentative proposal, "Why don't you combine the anniversary celebration with the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Hmm...... No. Li Qianqian knocked on the table, knocking the shopkeeper's heart knocking, just when he thought he couldn't stand it, Li Qianqian spoke, "From the sixth day of the new year, the house price has increased, and it has been maintained until the sixteenth, since the sixth day of the first month, an activity is held every day, but on the opening day of the eighth day of the first month, and the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth, the activities increase, in addition, from the sixth to the tenth of August, mainly water activities, and eleven to sixteen are mainly activities such as poetry and painting, flower viewing and other activities." ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while and asked, "But for such a long time, can our people be loaded?"

Originally, there was only one day for such a high-intensity activity, and in the future, the activity time will be extended in August, can the staff in the inn stand it?

"You can rest assured that this plan will be implemented, at least until August of the following year, and now the reservations for these days will be consumed first. ”

The shopkeeper touched his head and smiled, "That's what you said." ”

"Take your time, and you won't feel bitter when you get started. The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

Li Qianqian chatted with him for a while before letting him leave.

As soon as he left, Liu Er came over, "What are you looking for him for?"

"He sent the account book and talked to me about things by the way. ”

Li Qianqian didn't say anything to talk about with the shopkeeper, and Liu Er didn't ask, just talking about the news that had just come from Beijing.

"It's already spreading?"

"Yes, the emperor summoned Prince Ping into the palace to inquire about this, and I don't know how that guy fooled the emperor, and the emperor raised his hand like this and let him out of the palace. Liu Er thought that the emperor would know that Prince Ping was privately raising an army and privately mining iron ore and gold and silver mines, and he would definitely be furious and want to cure Prince Ping's crimes, but he didn't expect that the development of things was beyond his expectations.

Li Qian glanced at him lightly, "Actually, it's nothing!"

"How could it be ......?"

"This is going to be confirmed, of course Prince Ping can't please him, but what about the emperor? Think about it, Prince Ping has been staying in Beijing all the year round, right under the emperor's nose, he can do so many things, and the emperor has not been able to find out? Is the emperor too incompetent?"

How could the emperor endure such a comment?

"And now?"

"Wait and see!" Li Qianqian held his cheeks, "If the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan is smart, he will take the opportunity to quickly throw out the hot potato in his hand, and then take advantage of the situation to step on Prince Ping." ”

Liu Er looked at Li Qianqian suspiciously, "What do you think, what will the Hou Shizi of Pingchuan do?"

"I'm not a roundworm in his belly, how do I know what he's going to do?"

Liu Er looked at Li Qianqian and smiled, "By the way, Sun Cuijuan has been sent back to the Hou Mansion." ”

Li Qian's head was shallow, and when she saw her come out to participate in the event on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she knew that the eldest princess had hurt Sun Cuijuan for so long, and it was impossible to slap someone to death at once.

"She didn't make trouble, so she went back honestly?"

"How is that possible? It's just that Mrs. Shizi has done it well and hasn't let the news come out. ”

Mrs. Shizi used to be unwilling because the eldest princess favored Sun Cuijuan, and it was inevitable that she was a little childish in her actions, and because Sun Cuijuan smeared the prince and her husband in the ear of the eldest princess, in this way, even if the eldest princess valued the eldest son again, she would inevitably be influenced by Sun Cuijuan, and she was picky about Mrs. Shizi.

has been so oppressed by a junior for a long time, it is no wonder that Mrs. Shizi acts in a small family, and now that Sun Cuijuan has been cleaned up, Mrs. Shizi is in a happy mood and is much more generous in doing things, but it makes the eldest princess look at her differently.

At the same time, the eldest princess also had to admire the management of an inn, because whether it was Sun Cuijuan's commotion or Mama Huo's being killed with a cane, it had never been spread, which shows that the management of an inn is rigorous.

Li Qianqian asked, "The person who gave Miss Zhang a gift to the Hou Mansion has come back?"

"I just entered the city, and I haven't entered the inn yet. ”

"Well, when they get there, let them come over. Li Qianqian also asked them to inquire about the relationship between Wang Zixian and the two concubines in the second room of the Sun family.

"Yes. Liu Er heard her say this, knew what she wanted to know, bowed down and went out.

After a short time, the people who went to the Hou Mansion came back, and Chunjiang led them in, and after they greeted Li Qianqian, they reported the latest development of the second prince Wang and the two young ladies of the Sun family to Li Qianqian.

When the little ones came back, Sun Cuichan had already obtained the promise of the second son of the king, and when he got married, he would immediately accept her as a second room. ”

What is going on? Li Qian's eyebrows were raised, and before he could speak, the man who had just replied sighed and said, "What else can it be, isn't it just old-fashioned? Sweet soup was delivered in the middle of the night, and this one was sent to the house." Originally, he was going to say that he would be sent to the bed, but Chun Jiang cleared his throat in time, and he reacted that the person in front of him was not Liu Er, but the sect leader who had not yet reached the end of time, and he couldn't be too unparticular about his reply.

"Oh, then Sun Cuifang will admit it?" Li Qianqian asked with an interesting look at him.

"No, Sun Cuifang also made the same way the next day, but it was purely Dong Shi Xiaofeng, Wang Ergongzi didn't let her enter the door, in fact, although Wang Ergongzi agreed to Sun Cuichan, but never gave her a good look, Sun Cuichan's aunt was afraid that Wang Ergongzi would not admit it, and planned to make trouble with the eldest princess. ”

Li Qianqian nodded, and after listening to them, he sent them down to rest.

"Sect Master, you can't hide this from Miss Zhang. ”

"I know, but how do I tell her?" Whoever comes to tell him such bad news will definitely hate it, but if he doesn't tell her, let her enter into marriage like this, and let her know nothing about the hidden danger?

Just when they were in a dilemma, Wang Zixian himself wrote a letter to Zhang Duoli, what was written in the letter, Li Qianqian and they didn't know, but what they knew was that Zhang Duoli directly wrote to dissolve the marriage.

Li Qianqian didn't know about it until the pigeon guard who followed Sun Cuijuan back to the Hou Mansion reported.

Lan Tang admired Zhang Duoli's decisiveness very much.

"I didn't expect her to break off the marriage contract directly!" Lan Tang shook his head and sighed, "Isn't she and her fiancΓ© very good?

Li Qianqian thought of Meng Dasheng, this guy has not heard from him for so long, is he going to break it off like this? But looking at Lan Tang's appearance, she felt that he couldn't be entangled, so as not to let Lan Tang be affected by him.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lan Hai went to check the pulse of Huang Zhu's mother and son, and made sure that the four of them were in good condition, Li Shu deliberately left an inn.

The sons of the capital have spent the Mid-Autumn Festival in eastern Sichuan City and are ready to return to the capital.

Just as Li Qianqian and the others were about to set off, the prince appeared.

Li Shu didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, and went directly on the road, Wang Zixian had to follow, because there was an inn with a building boat, so they left Sichuan East City by a building boat, all the way south, passing through the first pier, they stopped to fill the water and food.

Wang Zixian has always wanted to get close to Zhang Duoli, but Zhang Duoli is more clever than a cat, and every time she doesn't wait for him to get close, she has already run away.

Seeing that he had been repeatedly frustrated, the little servant of the Wang family suggested that he get off the boat and go for a change of mood.

As soon as he got off the boat, he heard someone calling him, and he turned his head to see that it was the second son of the second room of the Sun family, as well as Gao Gongzi and others who had seen him before and came from Beijing.
