Chapter 269: The Loser
"Actually, there's nothing hard to say, because in a few days, everyone in the capital will know." Tan Laosan said helplessly.
Seeing him like this, Millet stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please; "Third brother, let's talk while we go."
On the way to Yuxianglou, Tan Laosan told Xiaomi about the firm. It turned out that two days ago, the Maicheng branch fifty miles away from the capital was stolen. The loss of property is a small matter, but among the things that were stolen, there was a South China Sea purple pearl worth 8,000 taels, which was something set by the third prince, saying that it was to be given to his mother as a birthday gift.
The three princes and the eldest prince are born from the same mother, and their queen mother is the current queen of Yuguo.
The person whose beads are semicolons have just found them at a high price from the South China Sea, and before they can be sent to the capital for delivery, they are stolen. The beads were purchased for 5,000 taels, and the transaction price with the third prince was 8,000 taels.
The loss of 5,000 taels of things can't hurt the foundation of Yihai Commercial Bank. However, the third prince couldn't pay the errand, which delayed him from honoring the queen, and the matter was serious.
Therefore, several leaders of Yihai Commercial Bank went to investigate. I left Tan Laosan to take care of his family in the capital, and now he was bored in the commercial house, so he came out and walked around, and met Xiaomi.
"Then this matter is very serious, I said something that the third brother doesn't like to hear, I don't know if it's the hands and feet of my own people. It stands to reason that such a valuable thing has been booked in advance by a guest, so it shouldn't be too public, how can the thief know?
There is also a possibility that when you buy the beads, you are targeted by someone and follow you all the way to find an opportunity to do it. "Xiaomi used its imagination to help analyze it.
"Who's to say it's not, let me catch the thief. I'm going to cut off his claws. Tan Laosan was really annoyed.
The guys in Yuxianglou are already very familiar with millet, so they hurriedly greeted him and invited people to the private room upstairs. Because it hasn't been eaten yet, there are no customers in the restaurant, but it is very quiet.
Tan Laosan's subordinates were arranged in the position downstairs, and Tan Laosan kindly beckoned Grimace to sit at a table with his subordinates. But it was rejected.
"Third brother. Don't care, just let him be, that's his character. It's very cold to everyone.,Lord Shangshu specially arranged for him to protect me.,Three sticks can't knock out a fart.,But what's it.。 But the roots of my ears fell silent.
Earlier, I followed the two girls and came out with me. Remind this and that, and make noise to kill the individual. Seeing that Tan Laosan was rejected, Xiaomi's face was not very good, so he quickly explained in a low voice.
"I won't be like him." Tan Laosan listened to Xiaomi's words and was in a better mood.
And the grimace in the back. But after listening to Xiaomi's evaluation of himself, he couldn't help but clench his fists. What about the daughter of the Shang family? Saying such vulgar words, what a. Not at all urbane.
She is like this, and she is not confined to the house to teach well. Let her come out and wander around, it's not a shame! The grimace suddenly remembered, no, some time ago, the sixth prince arranged for the palace to teach the grandmother for a while.
I have taught it like this, so what kind of virtue is it before I have taught it? Wouldn't it be even more unbearable? Yes, that's why it happened that he slapped the seventh son on the street, thinking of this, Grimace shook his head helplessly.
Grimaces began to sympathize with Lord Zhong, he already had such a son who was not angry, and now the daughter he had worked so hard to find was like this again!
Not far from the restaurant, two pairs of eyes kept watching Xiaomi and his party enter.
"Master, why don't we follow up and take a look? It's so far away, it's really something, and it's too late to rush over. No matter how the subordinates looked, they all felt that the bearded man didn't look like a good one. Seeing that the master had no intention of moving the pestle on the side of the road, Mengzi couldn't help but remind.
"You kid is getting more and more unruly now." Yin Zixuan didn't reply, he said lightly, and immediately scared that person into not daring to say anything more.
Watching Xiaomi talk affectionately to the bearded man, Yin Zixuan didn't feel uncomfortable. The bearded man knows that he is the third leader of Yihai Commercial Bank. This is also because of the problem with the shop last time, he sent someone to check the impression, otherwise, he really doesn't know.
With this person's age and appearance, Yin Zixuan felt that if he was jealous, he would be too idiotic.
Yihai Commercial Bank has always had a good reputation in the capital, and they are people who have helped Xiaomi, Xiaomi deals with them, Yin Zixuan is at ease.
Seeing the master looking at the restaurant, he didn't know what he was thinking, and Mengzi couldn't help but worry in his heart, the master didn't plan to wait until people had eaten well, right? The millet girl eats, the fierce son has seen it, wait for it, there is no hour, it will not be eaten well.
Meng Zibai was worried, and after Yin Zixuan stood for a while, he turned around and walked back.
"Master, this is leaving?" Mengzi asked a little unconvinced.
"Or else? If you don't stand enough, you might as well stay here and wait. Yin Zixuan felt that his subordinates seemed to have become stupid, and their reactions were much slower than before. Hey, it's not that he's older than himself, don't worry, he really plans to recruit a few people again.
Mengzi couldn't hear what the master meant, so he hurriedly followed. Originally, I thought that the marriage contract between the millet girl and the sixth prince would be dissolved, and the prince and the millet girl would be together. But unexpectedly, the relationship between the two became like this.
The cadres and others in Yalanju are all anxious for their masters. However, being anxious is also in a hurry, and it can't help much. Look at how pitiful the master is now, people enter the Yuxiang Building to eat and drink spicy, and the master can only follow from a distance and watch, Mengzi is really distressed about his master.
In the private room of Yuxiang Building, although the age gap between Xiaomi and Tan Laosan is very large, they chatted very happily. Xiaomi asked Tan Laosan to order, and he ordered two, but he refused to order again.
"Third Brother Tan, it's rare for me to invite you once, you don't have to help me save money." Millet said with a grin.
"If you change someone else to treat you, I will order a full table, but let Xiao Bu order you to have a treat, I can't be ruthless with the third brother. When I turned around and told my brother, I would definitely say that I didn't bully you authentically. Tan Laosan said helplessly.
Xiaomi smiled, he didn't order it himself, anyway, he knew the dishes of this Yuxianglou. There's been a lot of mess lately, and I haven't eaten well. It just so happens that I am in a good mood today, order a few more good dishes, entertain Third Brother Tan well, and compensate for my stomach, killing two birds with one stone.
"Tell your master, I want to explode the sauce for Jiang Yaozhu today, and then I will have a Taiwanese simmered pork. Third Brother Tan. The eel soup here is good, let's have one too. Then, let's have a steamed crab with a shell. A clam comes to a Yunlin goose, well, mutton is indispensable this season, and then a red stewed mutton. Millet thought as he nodded, adding.
It feels like the meat dishes are almost there. ordered a few more vegetarian dishes, and asked Tan Laosan for a big pot of private five-grain roast in the restaurant. I asked myself for a pot of wine with a very low proof. This wine is still in the summer when millet came to eat, casually chattered once, the guy listened to it and told the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper asked the winemaker of the restaurant to try to make it.
It's done. I recommended it to the female customers who came to the restaurant, which was quite popular, and this wine also attracted a group of new diners to the restaurant. When the wives of some large families in the capital get together. Choose all here.
The ladies ate and drank happily, and when they went back, they inevitably chatted with the men. Men also began to come here when they had social, and business was better than before.
The owner of the restaurant ordered someone to make more wine and put it in the wine cellar. also deliberately explained to the people below, millet came here to eat, the dishes should be less cashier, and the wine money was directly exempted.
Xiaomi ordered a good dish, only to realize that Tan Sange, who was doing the opposite, was looking at him in a daze.
"Third Brother Tan, what do you want? Thinking about the purple pearl? It's already happened, it's useless for you to worry about it, didn't they go over, Second Brother Geng, I believe there will be good news soon.
Since the purple pearl is a rare object, the thief will definitely not steal it for his own collection, and it will definitely be exposed. Xiaomi enlightened.
"I naturally know this truth, I just wonder, you have only been in the capital for more than a year, and you know so much about the food in this restaurant? If I'm not afraid of your laughter, there is one of the dishes you just ordered, and I haven't even eaten one of the third brother.
Tell the third brother, what kind of thing is that Jiang Yaozhu, why doesn't it sound like something to eat? Tan Laosan asked curiously.
Millet smiled; "Jiang Yaozhu, also known as dried scallops, belongs to seafood shellfish. It's just that the crispy part is in the meat column, and when you need to peel off the shell and peel off the meat column, you should discard more and take less. This thing is generally used to make soup and porridge in restaurants.
Wait a minute, Third Brother Tan, you can taste it, how does it taste. ”
"Oh, it's a scallop, I'll know when you say that. I tasted this soup a few years ago, and it was delicious. If it's braised in the braised case, it's really the first time I've heard of it, so I'll have to eat a few more bites later.
Xiaomi, it's not the third brother, I'm talking about you, you really dare to order, you used to come here to treat others, right? Order steamed crab this season, do you know the price of crab now? Don't wait for the checkout to be shocked. Tan Laosan kindly reminded, and made a decision in his heart, let's settle the bill by myself when the food is good.
"Third Brother Tan, don't look at people in the cracks of the door, and flatten me, okay. Just this banquet, don't talk about it, even if I invite you a few more times, I can afford to invite you. Don't worry, wait for the checkout, you will definitely not mortgage Tan Sange here.
We're not going to do that. Xiaomi had already seen Tan Laosan's thoughts, and laughed and joked.
"You're a little bit, I knew you were not ordinary." Tan Laosan smiled and shook his head.
"That's it." Xiaomi responded immodestly, in exchange for Tan Laosan's heartier laughter.
The wine and food came up quickly, although the two had not gotten along like this for more than a year, and now that they had spoken, the atmosphere between the two had returned to the same as when they returned to Beijing together, which was very casual.
"That thing is delicious, you don't have to be greedy, little girl's family, don't come in standing, wait to lie down and go out." Let your father know that if you don't get it right, it will be on my head, and it may not be necessary to wear small shoes for me in the future. Tan Laosan drank his favorite small roast, eating his three masters, and he was not a delicacy that he could order often, and his mood was great, and he still didn't forget to kindly remind him of this little spot.
He wasn't worried that Secretary Zhong Shang would hate him, but that he would be scolded and punished when he went back. If she were a man, it would be better to say, but she was a little girl. Speaking from the heart, let alone Zhong Shangshu, even if the daughter of her own family drinks with others outside, she will also be angry.
"Third Brother Tan, I haven't been in contact for more than a year, why did you become so verbose. Why don't I call you Third Brother Tan. Directly call Aunt Tan'er? Grandma Tan San got it. Xiaomi protested unappreciatively.
"You dare? Isn't it for your own good, you are a little girl, this is really inappropriate, aren't you afraid that you won't find a good mother-in-law in the future? Even if you now have a father who is a scholar as a backer, if you don't care about doing whatever you want, people may not dare to ask you. Tan Laosan listened to Xiaomi's tone, and she really began to worry about her life's events.
"That's right. There have been rumors out there lately. Say that your marriage contract with King Qin has been dissolved. also said that Prince Xuan wants to accept you as a side concubine, is it true? Tan Laosan suddenly lowered his voice and inquired very curiously.
Tan Laosan is really curious. Those who want to know the truth. He clearly remembered that when he met Xiaomi on the road, he took him along and took a break to talk about gossip on the way. also said that King Qinshu did not marry the princess.
Who would have thought that the protagonist of the gossip in the mouths of the public at the beginning. It's just this little bit.
"Well, it's true." Xiaomi frankly admitted.
Oh, really? Tan Laosan got a positive answer from the party and nodded vigorously.
"When you enter Beijing, you are with Prince Xuan. It's also normal to fall in love over time. However, let the princess not do it, go to be a side concubine. I don't think I'm at a loss. What's more, isn't King Xuan going to be the concubine of Xili Kingdom?
If you share a husband with Princess Xiliguo. If you are not small, you will definitely be wronged, while it is still too late, and then think about it, it is still too late to regret it. It's not the third brother, I'm talking about you, with your temperament, it's really not suitable to be this side princess.
With your father's current status, let him help you choose another good husband. After the palace exam every year, you don't have to choose what to do. Tan Laosan was very worried about Xiaomi's lifelong events, and as an old brother, he kindly enlightened her and gave her ideas.
Xiaomi now has a headache when she hears this topic, but she also knows that Tan Laosan is indeed kind, and it is not easy to lose her temper with him. "Third Brother Tan, aren't you calling me a little smaller, isn't it because I'm young?
Let's not talk about this topic, okay? By the way, don't you all have your own guards in your firm? Was the guard negligent this time? Or are you a thief? Xiaomi hurriedly changed the subject.
She wasn't interested in the case, but recently, no matter who she was, the topic she was talking about was about the princess and the princess, and it was about to drive her crazy.
"I get angry at the mention of this, the thief is very indiscriminate, and he uses incense. Go back and remind your father to take precautions, there should be a lot of good things in Shangshu Mansion. Maicheng is so close to the capital, it is equivalent to the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dare to do such a thing, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come to the capital. After Tan Laosan finished speaking indignantly, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
The two chatted about each other, and after eating this meal for more than half an hour, they left the restaurant. When he was settling the bill, Grimace took off the purse from his waist and stepped forward, but when he heard the number of reports from the shopkeeper, his face turned green. Just the two of them, they actually ate sixty-eight taels of silver?
He has a total of more than 20 taels of silver, and Mrs. asked the account office to give a hundred taels of silver tickets before, and now he went out to change his robe, and he didn't bring it!
Grimace paused for a moment, and then saw Xiaomi take out a few silver tickets, take out one and put it on the counter. I'm a good girl, go out for a walk, and carry so many silver tickets with me!
Not only did the grimace be stupid, but Tan Laosan next to him was also a little dumbfounded.
The wine was also eaten, the account was settled, and millet said goodbye to Tan Laoshan at the door of the restaurant with a slight drunkenness. said okay, wait for Geng Er and them to come back, and make an appointment to come back to get together.
After separating from Tan Laosan, Xiaomi didn't want to go back to Shangshu Mansion, and walked forward, seeing that there were sugar gourds selling on the stall at the entrance of the inn, and planned to buy two skewers for the Huang family to taste.
"Remember to bring back a pound of beef with sauce." Someone at the door of the inn explained this to another person.
"Got it." The other should be. "How nice it would be to go straight to the restaurant." The man walked past Mi in a whispering voice as he responded.
Xiaomi was stunned when she heard it, this voice, why did you seem to have heard it somewhere? The people who walked over, Xiaomi didn't see the face, turned around and looked at the door of the inn, and only saw a back...... (To be continued)
