"The old slave has carefully observed all aspects today, so it took some time, and the old slave slowly said to the princess. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Chu Shuhuang ordered Qinghe, who was waiting beside him, to pour a cup of tea for Mama Lin, and said, "Mama take a sip of tea, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

"This restaurant is located in the flowering area on the Yanhe embankment, covering an area of about five acres, with three floors, the first and second floors are the lobby, and the third floor is a private room. The decoration is relatively high-end, although it has been a few years now, but it can also be said that the past. The backyard is the kitchen and the sundries and the guys' residence, and the whole restaurant is still relatively spacious and spacious. ”

"I have also tasted the dishes of the public, although there is no special taste, but the color and flavor are good, and the old slave and the two guards think it is very good. The shopkeeper's surname is Yan, a man in his forties, with a more flexible mind and a kind person, who has been working for more than 20 years from a guy to a shopkeeper, and has been in this restaurant for several years. ”

"There aren't too many guests tonight, but it's good to be half full, even though it's sparse and sparse. According to the shopkeeper Yan, the business of the restaurant is not very good, the level is acceptable, and the surplus is insufficient. In the past few years, business has also been good, but in recent years, the courtesans on the Yanhe embankment have become more and more prosperous, and the painting boats are shuttling endlessly, and their business has gradually faded. ”

"When the old slave came back, I took a look at it, and the banquet river was already full of lights, singing and dancing, and it was so lively."

Judging from the layout of the restaurant, the old slave felt that the words of the garden restaurant said by the princess were a bit small. It happened that an inn on the side was about to change hands, so the old slave went to see it, there were three acres in size, and the two together were eight acres, which was barely enough. The price is 2,000 taels, and the shopkeeper Yan said that if you buy it now, you can buy it for 1,200 taels. ”

"Did you ask Shopkeeper Yan for this price, or did Shopkeeper Yan tell you himself?" Chu Shuhuang asked.

After the old slave went to the restaurant to observe, he made his intentions clear to the shopkeeper Yan, and the shopkeeper Yan introduced it in detail. The inn next to it changed hands was told to the old slave by the shopkeeper Yan, and after reading it, the shopkeeper Yan revealed the price again. ”

"What do you think of this person as Shopkeeper Yan?" Chu Shuhuang asked again.

"The person who is the shopkeeper Yan seems to be a trustworthy person, although he is not a talented person, but he is not a mediocre person, otherwise he can't support it."

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

"He said that since the owner has given away the restaurant, he also wants to go back to his ancestral hometown, and he has been wandering outside all these years, and he has not fulfilled his filial piety." Mama Lin looked at Chu Shuhuang and said, "The old slave felt that Shopkeeper Yan didn't want to go back too much, and his expression was a little lonely. And according to what he said, business has not been good all these years, and he hasn't made much money, so if he doesn't work for a few years while his health is good, I'm afraid he won't have a good life when he goes back. ”

"Mama thinks so too?"

"The princess thinks so, too? This matter can't be rushed, it's better to slow down and take your time. ”

"Okay, Mama, you can arrange for someone to ask again, and we'll talk about it in a few days."

After the two finished talking, it was not too early, Chu Shuhuang asked Mama Lin to go down to rest, and she also rested early. In the early morning of the next day, Chu Shuhuang practiced martial arts alone in the original bamboo forest at the original time, and then returned to Yinglan Pavilion and slept lightly for a while before getting up.

After freshening up and having breakfast, it was already past the hour, and the group came out of the Anguo Mansion and went back to the palace. entered the Shenwu Gate, entered the Inner Palace Gate, changed into a soft sedan chair, and first came to Fengxiang Palace to greet the queen.

Chu Shuhuang came to Fengxiang Palace and saw the queen standing in front of two pots of flowers with her back to the palace gate, still holding scissors in her hands, looking like she was tending to flowers and plants, but her expression was a little anxious, and she didn't have the pleasure of tending to flowers and plants at all.

Xiang'er and a few other palace maids stood beside her, and when she saw Chu Shuhuang coming in, she blinked. Chu Shuhuang came behind the queen silently, stretched out his hand to hug the queen and said, "Queen Mother, sons and daughters see Queen Mother." ”

The queen was startled, and wanted to turn around but was afraid of falling to Chu Shuhuang, so she said sourly: "Do you still know to come back?" ”

"Queen Mother, I won't leave in the future, I will accompany you more." Chu Shuhuang said softly.

"Don't, I can't delay your big event, or your big deal."

"Who said that? See if I don't tear his mouth! Mother, I miss you. ”

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You still have a little conscience." ”

Chu Shuhuang turned to the queen's side, dragged one arm and said: "Queen mother, this is the Lingnan offering butterfly a while ago, these two pots of flowers are also blessed, and it is getting better and better with the queen mother." "I saw two pots of flowers three feet high, the branches were sinking, but there were no leaves, and on the top of the branches was a bunch of budding flower bones, slightly purple halo.

"It's getting better and better." Saying that, the queen took Chu Shuhuang into the apse, and the palace had already prepared the cheese, snacks, and fruits that Chu Shuhuang loved to eat.

Chu Shuhuang hugged the queen again and said sweetly: "It's still the queen mother who loves me the most." ”

"If only you knew!"

Chu Shuhuang has been accompanying the queen in Fengxiang Palace, and at noon, the emperor also rushed back to Fengxiang Palace to have lunch with them, and talked with the emperor for a while, and Chu Shuhuang returned to Xuanyage.

Chu Shuhuang's life has returned to the law in the palace, after classes every day, he practices calligraphy and martial arts, and accompanies his father and queen mother as much as possible in his free time. Three or five days later, the person sent by Mama Lin to inquire sent back the news that what the shopkeeper Yan said was basically true; Mr. Yan has a good reputation and good character. Chu Shuhuang went out of the palace again, met with the shopkeeper Yan, discussed the feasibility of the garden restaurant, and finally handed over everything such as decoration to the shopkeeper Yan.

A few days later, the news of Su Zheng's illness came out of the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, and two or three days later, the fragrance disappeared. This news did not cause much turmoil among the people of the capital, and it seems that it is not surprising that this proud girl of the sky has come to this point. Xun Guizhong didn't want to mention it much, and before there were ripples, he had already returned to calm.

A month later, a servant entered the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

"What? The kite is gone? ”

The subordinate was sweating profusely and said, "When the maid went in to serve in the morning, she found that there was no one in the house, and the eldest lady had a lot less clothes to change. In front of the house and behind the house, the entire Zhuangzi searched all over, but no trace was found, and no news was received. ”

"There are so many of you that you haven't heard any movement?"

The servant wiped the sweat from his head and replied stubbornly: "The two maids are keeping vigil in the outer room, and they both say that they have not heard any movement, and the guards who patrol the Grange have not found anything suspicious. ”

"Bastard! What do you want you to eat? Mrs. Wei Yuan Hou Shizi slapped the table angrily and yelled.

The subordinate hurriedly crawled on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please forgive Madame, please forgive Madame, please forgive Madame, and the villain will look for it again, and then find it." ”

A maid came in and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, the old marquis is back, and the rumor says that he wants to see this steward." ”

"Get out!"
