Chapter 888: Inspecting the merchants

Since Xuan'er was kidnapped, Xuan'er's whereabouts have begun to fluctuate, often wearing the clothes of guards and servants out of the house, and his task is to inspect the operation, profits, and customer flow of various businesses every day. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info many shopkeepers asked him for advice on what happened and how to deal with it. How blessed would it be for someone to come back safe and sound from the robbers? Through Xuan'er's matter, Emperor Kangxi also realized that what he had to face was not the reassuring Qing Dynasty. Even the prince dared to kidnap him, and the emperor was also in danger. The long-term peace and stability of the country is the well-being of the Qing Dynasty.

On this day, Xuan'er wore the clothes of a big family and the guards around her to inspect the Queen Mother's Restaurant, Yulong Commercial Bank and Splendid Restaurant, and there were seven or eight secret guards not far away.

When I arrived at the Queen Mother's Restaurant, like ordinary customers, I occupied a table, ordered a few dishes, and chatted with the two guards. Several of the secret guards were also sitting at a table not far from Xuan'er, just like ordinary guests. Ordered a meal. It's almost noon, and it's time for lunch.

At this time, a few young people at the adjacent table whispered: "It's not interesting to drink like this, why don't you find the little girl who came to sing yesterday and the old man who played the huqin for her, and sing a few little songs for us to help the wine." Another young man, who seemed to have a good family, said: "There is a lot of noise in this hall, and even the singing is not good." If it weren't for the fact that the upstairs seats were all occupied, who would rarely eat in the hall? ”

A thin young man at the same table said, "It's only in this hall that there can be a lot of excitement, you wait, every time this hour there will be a yellow ribbon to meet the chick who sings the song." Then go upstairs...... Hahaha! Do you think this Queen Mother Restaurant is a clean place? It still hides filth and dirt. ”

Xuan'er was shocked when she heard this: Could it be that this restaurant opened by Ama has become a place to cover for people to rob men and women, and this is worth it? Or the yellow belt, which clan did this? The emperor has always hated such things.

Just as he was thinking about it, the yellow ribbon that he said at the table appeared. Okay, the head is enough, he is around sixteen or seventeen years old, and his appearance is okay, but he doesn't know if he is affected by the wind or born hemiplegia, the corners of his two mouths are one high and one low, and he walks with obvious external figures. Obviously, his belly is not very big, so he has to go out quite a long way, shaking a gold-sprinkled folding fan in his hand. The whole little gangster who is crooked and cracked jujubes, the children of the royal family who have been trained in etiquette since they were children will never be like this. And the yellow belt around the waist does not conform to the royal custom, with such a yellow belt, you should wear a stone blue robe, which means that you are not the son of the prince but also the son of the county king. The gemstone on the yellow belt around his waist seems to be the crystal glass sold in the Nalan department store. Because the light of crystal glass is long...... No matter how you look at it, it can be concluded that this person is not a royal family brother but a fake Xibei goods. Pretending to be a member of the royal family is a crime of deception, and you will be killed! Who is this, I don't know the depth of the fierce man in the washbasin? How many people in the common people know what the royal clan should wear, there is a yellow belt around the waist, and there is a big shining gem on it, what is it that is not the royal clan? There were also two young men in eunuch uniforms with him. Although the collar of the clothes is a bit high, it blocks the Adam's apple, so covering it proves that the eunuch is also fake!

The yellow ribbon sat down at a table by the window in the hall, shook his fan, and said, "Liangzi, go and fetch the father and daughter who are singing the song to this king." ”

"Liangzi? This king? Is this still the prince? The eunuch with him is also called Liangzi? ”

"Huh!" Liang Zi turned around and went out, and after a while, he brought in an old man holding a pipa and a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Don't be nervous, if you sing well, this king will be rewarded, this restaurant is the king's industry."

"Yes, the little girl must be satisfied with Lord Xuan and serve you well."

Xuan'er almost didn't jump up: he actually pretended to be the head of this king, and he was a nondescript big fool! But he held back, and those who dared to pretend to be princes must have his purpose. Who has nothing to do with their heads up and play thrills?

The little girl babbled and sang for a while, and "Lord Xuan" was very satisfied, and whispered to the girl: "This king has a few words to say to you in private, let's go upstairs." ”

"Yes, the little girl must serve the prince well." This is like a flowing water, where is a girl from a poor family, it is clearly a joker in a brothel in a green house!

Xuan'er immediately understood the intention of this yellow belt, which was to ruin his reputation! If his reputation and reputation are not good, his business will plummet, and it seems that it is not a mortal who is directing these two puppets behind the scenes.

Just when "Lord Xuan" went upstairs with the father and daughter who were singing, one of Xuan'er's guards blocked the way of the three.

"Bold! What do you want to do in broad daylight? This king doesn't want to talk nonsense with you as a minion, get out of the way! "I'm really good at acting, and I look like I'm all good.

"The subordinates don't want to do anything, but just tell you that pretending to be a royal family member is to be punished for the crime of bullying the king. Under the guise of Prince Rui, this benevolent brother did bad things that ruined the reputation of Prince Xuan, isn't he jealous of the prosperous business of the business managed by Prince Xuan? Did you leave the singer to open the room? The real Xuan Wang Ye will not do such a dirty thing, come with me, explain who you are to the Criminal Department, eat a few days, take off the yellow belt clothes, and go home, there may be a way to live, otherwise I am afraid it will not be good. ”

"Who's you? I really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall, and I actually dared to ...... with this king, "It's broken, why did the people near a few tables come over?"

"What are you doing? Failure to besiege this king? Pillar, hurry back to the house and bring all the soldiers......"

"Okay, okay, stop acting, it's a trick to play again, and you can't become the male number one." Xuan'er stood up lazily from her seat, still chewing peanuts in her mouth, and walked in front of Xibei Goods: "Look at what you are wearing, you are a person who doesn't even have the least common sense." The real royal family is not so swaggering as you, return the king, this king, tell me how many children does Prince Xuan have? How many boys and how many girls? If you want to play Lord Xuan, don't even know how many of his children? Jokes. ”

"How many children do I have, I don't know?"

"Smack!" received a slap in the face from the guard, that is the child of Lord Xuan, not yours! Brag unblushingly! Nothing else, come with us. ”

Seeing that there were more and more people surrounding him, "Xuan Wangye" was scared and wanted to run. Xuan'er blocked his way, and the hotel guy who knew Xuan'er also came over.

"Ignorant and foolish, this king doesn't have the same knowledge as you, Liangzi, let's go home!"

"Back home? Let me ask you, how many houses are there in the house? ”

"Can you handle it? Let's go, what are you two still rubbing? Suddenly, "Lord Xuan" froze there, unable to move, obviously giving people some acupoints.

A guy at the hotel obviously didn't know Xuan'er: "This guest officer, this person is a fake." The shopkeeper said, let him talk about it for a few days, but this one was too angry, and he didn't give money for a few days of eating, and he had to open a room to talk to this girl who sang music, and he didn't give him money for the room. ”

"Okay, Lord Xuan, when did you learn to eat overlord meals? You two have taken good care of him, and let's find him a place to feed himself when we go back. Pretending to be Lord Xuan, this ...... It was supposed to be a crime of killing the head." Xuan'er hurriedly braked the brakes. Looking at it again, the personal eunuchs of "Lord Xuan" were scared to pee their pants.

The officials of the Criminal Department interrogated the yellow ribbon who pretended to be Xuan Wangye, but they didn't ask anything useful. Because this person seems to have eaten something and can't speak. It seems that the water inside is very deep, and someone must have instigated and watched them. If it is exposed, it will unload the mill and kill the donkey. It seems that Prince Xuan has a good reputation among the people, so some people are desperately slandering him and smearing him.

Xuan'er is speechless, just doing business, can you be guilty of stabbing in the back?

I wasted a lot of time in the restaurant, so I hurried to the trading house to have a look. The firm is not bad, very orderly, Xuan'er greeted Chen Ruiqian and casually pressed the counter to take a look. There are a lot of people who come here to buy things, and there are people who buy everything. A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl asked the man, "Big brother, don't you have that kind of colored beads sewn under the sachets in your shop?" But you sell sachets on it, can you sell me a little? ”

"This girl, that kind of thing was purchased by the owner, where can we buy it?"

"Can you help me ask the owner? When will those little beads come? We're in a hurry. After saying that, his little face turned red. It seems that it is used for dowry, and Xuan'er heard Xiao'er say that there are a lot of these beads, and they will definitely not be used up just for the sachet. It is already sold in packages at the Nalan Department Store. It seems that girls generally like these little things, and the supply should be open.

This young man knew Xuan'er, and when he saw Xuan'er nodding to him in the crowd, he understood, and said to the girl: "Look, Miss is really urgent, and I will help you ask the shopkeeper later." Why don't you come back tomorrow? ”

"Okay, okay, can we do it this time tomorrow?"

"Okay, then let's come tomorrow, I'm sorry today, I really don't."

Xuan'er asked a few shopkeepers here what goods were in the most scarce, how much sales were, etc., and then told them to pay attention to safety and whether there were any suspicious people, so she took people to the Splendid Restaurant.

The current splendid restaurant has the taste of a Western-style restaurant, and the vertical panes are inlaid with art glass bought by the prince. The windows of the hall are transparent glass, and the windows are flanked by snow-white lace curtains. The dining table and dining chairs are all Western-style, and there are Western-style candlesticks on the dining table. On the front wall hangs a huge still life painting above the fireplace. What's more strange is that the service staff here are all white Western girls, and the people who come in to eat are also Westerners with white skin, blue eyes, and high noses. Occasionally, there are also high-end Qing people.

Xuan'er's dress doesn't seem to be suitable here, but he is the chief shopkeeper of the business of the two prefectures, and it is okay to call the general manager, just to see the market.

"This gentleman, you are not dressed properly for an occasion like a Western restaurant." The new guy was dressed in the clothes and pants of a waiter in a western restaurant, neat and straight, and bent over with a polite smile.

"What? You say I'm not dressed properly? What's wrong with me? "Xuan'er is wearing the clothes of the palace guards, very clean and strong, there is nothing untidy at all, but it is not as noble as the yellow belt.

The guards beside Xuan'er refused to let go: "The dog's eyes look down on people!" ”

Xuan'er stopped the guard's anger with a gesture, and said with a smile: "This is the rule of your restaurant?" Is my dress good-looking or sloppy and dirty? ”

"That's not it, this is a place where Western nobles and the lords, wives, and ladies of our big families and eunuchs in the Qing Dynasty have a meal, you are practicing martial arts, not suitable for this kind of occasion."

"I remember that your rules and regulations here don't say so, it says that if there are beggars and refugees, take them to the backyard and give them some food, does it have anything to do with what they wear?"

"How do you know?"

"I'm your chief treasurer here, I don't know?"

"Just you? It's just a guard, pretending to be Lord Xuan, you're still tender. ”

"Hey!" I've become an impostor, huh? Hahahaha...... Well, you won't have to come tomorrow, go home and pick up the baby. No wonder the restaurant isn't thriving, it's you who keep the guests out. ”

"Say that you have wronged you when you look down on people? This is Lord Xuan, still begging for mercy? ”

The guard shouted in a low voice.

"Huh? Lord Xuan! Are you really Lord Xuan? The small one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, offended your old man, you are the prime minister's belly can support the boat, don't be with the small one's general knowledge, okay? Little please, there is a sick old lady waiting for a dose of medicine a day at home, woo woo ......"

"It's very filial, so I'll give you another chance to perform meritorious service and observe it for half a year. But you have given me a reminder that you should not judge people by their clothes and hats, as long as they are not excessive, affect the appetite of the guests, and speak politely and politely, you can come in. If you do it yourself, it's the restaurant that suffers, and no one dares to come in, so how can we make money? ”

"Yes, yes, the little one is taught."

By the time Xuan'er returned home, both legs had hardened. It looks like it's hard to do anything.

When I went back to the house, I went back to my room with Rui'er, and I just lay down on the bed, so tired. "What's wrong with Chitose-sama today? Don't seem to be happy? Rui'er walked over and handed Xuan'er a cup of warm tea. Xuan'er didn't answer, and pointed to her mouth: "Feed me." ”

"Okay, feed you. Which of the three holes you are next to you is the mouth? ”

"Poof!" Xuan'er laughed: "Our family Rui'er is humorous. Xuan'er looked at Rui'er's pretty face, and her fatigue was gone. He sat up, took Rui'er into his arms, and asked, "How many pictures of the four beauties have been drawn?" ”

"Wang Ye Chitose should ask how many sets of four beautiful pictures have been drawn? Aren't you the most sensitive to numbers? Why are you so stupid? ”

"Grammatical error. Let me ask you, in the morning I asked you to go to Eniang to steal the tiger map, did you steal it? ”

"I didn't dare, why steal? Isn't it good to borrow from my mother? ”

"No, E-Niang is too busy, I watched her put the tiger atlas in the upper left corner of her painting case, and I want you to ......"

"I'll take the sheep and give it to you, right? Tell her that you can't do it? ”

"The old man is too busy, forget it, you just tell her clearly, otherwise I will be distressed if you catch her and spank her."

"I hate it, and it's getting more and more unserious. Hey! Is this falling asleep? You haven't taken off your boots yet, you sloppy ghost. Rui'er pouted and picked up Xuan'er's boots.

Suddenly, I was dizzy, so I hugged Xuan'er into my arms, "Okay, scold me while I'm asleep, see if I don't care about your itch." ”

"Bad thing, you pretend to sleep!" Rui'er picked up the pillow and smashed Xuan'er.
