Liu Xuan finally understood who Deng Yu's temper was like, and she followed behind King Ning to cover her mouth and chuckle: "The prince does not look like the prince, but this temperament is like ten out of ten." After she finished speaking, she noticed that King Ning's footsteps seemed to pause, but it was only for a moment.

King Ning seemed to be in a much better mood because of Liu Xuan's words, and even his voice gradually calmed down: "That stinky boy was brought up by Lao Tzu, how can he not be like me." ”

Liu Xuan responded: "Naturally, it looks like a prince." But she muttered to herself in her heart, a man with a mouth, a man with a mouth, it is hard to imagine what these two people will be like if they quarrel, thinking of this she was amused by her own thoughts, such a scene must be very interesting.

King Ning just turned around at this time, taking Liu Xuan's snickering appearance into his eyes, he turned his head quietly and said: "You have such a temperament, this king is a lot more relieved, my son will be entrusted to you in the future, he is straightforward, you must not use some small means to bully him." ”

Liu Xuan thought to herself that with Deng Yu's hot temperament, it would be good if he didn't bully her, but King Ning's words made her lower her eyes again, Liu Xuan said in a low voice: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, Xuan has no intention of these trivial things at this time, His Royal Highness has ambitions, but the treasury is empty and cannot be used, he once asked Xuan to fill the treasury with meager strength, and the prince also mentioned in the letter that the border guards are frozen, Xuan just wants to do his best to fill the treasury, so that His Royal Highness's ambition can be displayed, so that the prince does not worry about military rations and armaments outside." ”

Liu Xuan's words were heartfelt, and her voice was sincere.

After hearing this, King Ning was silent for a long time, and then sighed and said, "As my son said, you are not as open-minded as your daughter. Your means are also seen by this king, and you are a talented person, no wonder Li Che Xiao'er trusts you, it's just that, this king will not mention this matter again. ”

Liu Xuan thanked him, and King Ning said again: "I heard that you are expanding the restaurant?" When it opens, this king will personally go to cheer for you. ”

Hearing that King Ning was going to cheer her on, Liu Xuan's eyes lit up: "Since the prince has a heart, why don't you do good things to the end, and inscribe a plaque for my restaurant?" ”

"It's a small thing." King Ning waved his hand in response: "I will let Wei Ang send you out of the mansion, and let those who have no eyes take a look, if you want to move, you have to ask me if Ning Wangfu agrees." ”

Liu Xuan thanked her repeatedly. It's just that King Ning's words made her frown. When Deng Yu was leaving, he also said that someone would find her trouble, and now that King Ning said this, could anyone really want to harm her?

King Ning went straight back to his courtyard, and after he finished practicing, he was going to bathe and change his clothes. Liu Xuan naturally didn't want to stay any longer. She took out the reply letter to Deng Yu yesterday and handed it to King Ning and said, "This is Xuan's reply." and the prince of Lao handed it over to the prince. ”

King Ning took the letter and pinched it in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You reply to the letter in the future and send it directly to the palace, and my stinky boy will ask you to write one in three days." He was not afraid of running and breaking the leg of Ning Wangfu's horse. ”

Liu Xuan looked at King Ning's mouth: "The prince read the letter of the prince? ”

When King Ning heard her ask, his old face stiffened slightly, and then he yelled at Liu Xuan in annoyance: "What's wrong with Lao Tzu?!" In case that bastard boy leaks important things, won't it be a burden to Lao Tzu! ”

Liu Xuan shrunk her neck by his roar: "Just look at it, there is nothing unpleasant, why should the prince be annoyed and angry." ”

"You!"

Liu Xuan looked at King Ning's bearded and glaring appearance, and lowered the corners of his mouth and chuckled: "The prince still has something to do, Xuan won't bother much, and say goodbye." ”

King Ning looked at her secretly snickering, and couldn't help but stare at her again, but he found that it was really useless to stare at Liu Xuan, and after half a sound, he had to wave his hand impatiently: "Let's go, Wei Ang quickly send away the villain who is secretly snickering, and he will be angry when he looks at it." ”

King Ning said that he was angry, but his expression was not half angry, how could Wei Ang not know his temperament after following King Ning for many years, and immediately sent Liu Xuan out of the palace with a slight smile.

Liu Xuan was still early when she left the palace, remembering that she had not seen Liu's mother for many days, and asked the coachman to drive to Liufu, Liu's mother was naturally happy to see Liu Xuan coming, the mother and daughter said a lot of words, and had lunch together, and Liu Xuan came out of Liufu after noon when Liu's mother wanted to take a nap.

Back to Liu's mansion, Liu Xuan asked people to summon Qian Tong, and now King Ning promised to make some changes to the inscription plaque Yipinxiang, Qian Tong heard that Liu Xuan summoned and immediately put down the matter at hand, and rushed back non-stop, Liu Xuan looked at the sweat stains oozing from his forehead and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work, I called you here this time to ask about the progress of the expansion of the restaurant." ”

Qian Tong took a step forward, took out the drawings of the expansion of the restaurant from his sleeve and handed them to Liu Xuan, and saw Liu Xuan unfold it, so he explained: "The expansion of the restaurant Xiao Gong not only sold the silver for the other three restaurants, but also transferred some silver two, after the completion of the restaurant, there are four floors, it is the highest restaurant in the capital, and it has basically been completed, but the interior decoration still needs to be shown by the lady." ”

Liu Xuan looked at the drawings and was very satisfied: "I should have asked Xiao Gong about the decoration, he knows more about the preferences of the powerful in the capital, you just need to tell him that after the completion of this restaurant, the interior decoration must be the best in the capital, what I want to say is just some details, you come forward." ”

Qian Tong stepped forward, Liu Xuan pointed to the first floor of the drawings and said to him: "The first floor is used for the hall, the second floor is half a private room and half a hall, and the private room on the second floor must be built with a lot of money to isolate the sound." The third floor is all made into private rooms, and the fourth floor is only made into three private rooms, and the decoration needs to be the most luxurious place in the restaurant, and these three private rooms need to be equipped with compartments for rest, which is a hundred times more luxurious than the best inn in Beijing. ”

Seeing Qian Tong nodding her head, she said again: "You ask Xiao Gong to buy some Qinglou women, these women must have a skill, if it is the attic Oiran is the best." ”

Qian Tong didn't ask Liu Xuan what the use of buying these Qinglou women was, but just asked, "How many such women does Miss need?" ”

Liu Xuan thought for a while: "Four is enough, these four must be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their appearance and figure must also be top-notch, if you let Xiao Gong find it, it is worth spending more silver, I have a lot of use." ”

Qian Tong nodded in response, and he didn't even bother to drink the tea, so he hurriedly took the drawings and left.

Now everything is in order, just waiting for the day the restaurant reopens.

Liu Xuan stayed in the house these days and painted a lot of men's clothes for brocade weaving. After drawing the pattern, she was not idle, she still stayed in the study every day to write something, seven days later, Chen Liang also came to the news, saying that the richest businessman in Hangzhou Yin Shi had agreed to provide a large amount of silk for Liu Xuan, Chen Liang also negotiated a good price with Yin Shi on behalf of Liu Xuan, and Chen Liang for Liu Xuan The silk has been sent to the capital by water, and the matter was sent by Xiao Gong to send Jiuyun to help transport.

Everything is developing in a good direction, and at this time, Qian Tong also came to spread the word, saying that the decoration of the restaurant has started, and it will take six days at most to finish it all. And Xiao Gong has also found a Qinglou woman who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I have bought them and asked Liu Xuan if there is anything that needs to be trained.

Liu Xuan has a lot of trust in Xiao Gong's ability, since he can satisfy Xiao Gong, those four women must be all kinds of leaders. She only asked Xiao Gong to place those women in good life. When the restaurant opened, the four women were placed in the most luxurious private room on the fourth floor.

There were two days. Liu Xuan sent Huyi to send a letter to Liu Zhiqing, and Liu Zhiqing was sad for three days after receiving the letter, and he was often absent-minded when he went to court. Finally, he couldn't help it anymore and began to ask Li Che for help.

Liu Zhiqing handed the letter that Liu Xuan gave him to Li Che for a look, Li Che also frowned after reading it carefully, Liu Zhiqing looked at his appearance and couldn't help sighing: "Master, you said that if we can't meet these pairs, will Liu Xuan be laughed at?" ”

Li Che's face was not good, he handed the letter to Sun Xun again, and after Sun Xun saw it, he asked him, "Sun Xun may be right?" ”

Sun Xun looked at it carefully, and after thinking about it for a long time, he was ashamed: "Back to the master, these ten pairs of sons can only be paired with two pairs." ”

Liu Zhiqing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Two pairs are also successful, I can also match a few pairs, even if we can't match all of them together, we can't let that girl look down on them." ”

When Sun Xun heard that Liu Zhiqing was calling Liu Xuan's girl, he couldn't help but look at his master, and sure enough, he saw that his master raised his eyebrows, and Sun Xun coughed lightly: "The girl in Zhiqing's mouth is the girl Liu?" ”

Liu Zhiqing was reminded by Sun Xun, only then did he realize that he had lost his words, he hurriedly looked at his master, and his face was sincere: "Master, I was too happy for a while to lose my words, and I never deliberately underestimated her by relying on my identity as her brother-in-law." ”

Sun Xun chuckled when he heard this, since Liu Xuan became the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, this Liu Zhiqing mentioned in front of his master almost every chance that he was Liu Xuan's brother-in-law, for fear that the master would not know.

Li Che listened to his words, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Zhiqing." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"Don't let this palace regret letting you pick up a bargain for no reason."

Liu Zhiqing didn't speak, he quickly changed the topic and returned to the ten pairs sent by Liu Xuan, Li Che beckoned Sun Xun and Liu Zhiqing to step forward: "Although Zhiqing talks nonsense mostly, there is one thing that is very reasonable, if these ten pairs can't come up, don't say it's you, even Lone will lose face." ”

Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun nodded again and again, Liu Zhiqing frowned and said, "But isn't it, if you let her know that we can't come up, where is the majesty of my righteous brother?" How will the master revitalize his husband in the future? ”

The four characters of Zhenfu Gang are obviously very useful to Li Che, and immediately showed a soft face, and the three of them discussed in the study for a whole day, and it was almost dusk before they stopped discussing, Sun Xun looked at the ten pairs and sighed: "If Miss Liu is a man, I am afraid that the name of this first talent will definitely fall on her head." ”

Although Liu Zhiqing was not very happy, he could only nod: "Although I don't care much about the name of the world's first talent, it's just that it's really angry to lose in the hands of a woman like this, when I was in Yizhou by her for two days of croton, then I thought that this must be the biggest humiliation in my life Liu Zhiqing, and now when I see this pair, I know that she still saves face for me, if she comes with a pair, I will not be ashamed to go out." ”

Li Che waved his hand: "That's it, just reply to her like this, although it is only seven pairs, but it can be regarded as a loss of face." He paused and said to Liu Zhiqing: "Remember, this is your own effort, and this palace and Sun Xun don't know about it." ”

Liu Zhiqing said with a bitter face: "Master, I understand without you explaining, if she knows that the three of us can only face seven pairs, what will be the face in the future?" After speaking, Liu Zhiqing took the pair and went out with a desolate face.

Liu Xuan was slightly surprised to receive a reply from Liu Zhiqing that night, and secretly sighed in her heart that Liu Zhiqing deserved to be the first talent in the world, and in just four days, she had seven pairs of absolutes, to know that the ten pairs she wrote were all absolute through the ages, and she could only make four pairs. Liu Xuan couldn't help but think a little more highly of Liu Zhiqing.

She wrote down the remaining three pairs of willow branches that had never been paired, and called Xiao Gong to come on the second day, so that he could find a good craftsman to carve this pair into a couplet, she said to Xiao Gong: "After carving, hang it on the door when the restaurant opens, and those who can make the next couplet can rest for free in a pinxiang meal for a year, and if someone comes out, they will put on a pair." ”

Xiao Gongyin is worried: "Is a year too long?" ”

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "If it's short, it won't attract everyone's attention, and the one-year time limit is not long, Xiao Gong rest assured, this pair is by no means so easy to match, Liu Shaofu has also been right, but he has never been right." ”

Hearing that it was Liu Zhiqing's unmatched pair, Xiao Gong immediately put his mind at ease and went down to find a good craftsman according to Liu Xuan's instructions.

After Xiao Gong left, Liu Xuan wrote a letter again, this letter was written to Deng Yu, Deng Yu asked her to write a letter in three days, and she did so, and Deng Yu took the letter and replied quickly, there was nothing to say in the letter, all they said were small things that happened around them, Liu Xuan talked about a taste of incense, Deng Yu talked about training soldiers, Liu Xuan complained that he used his brain too much, and Deng Yu complained that the frontier was too cold and the soldiers were frozen.

Whenever Liu Xuan saw Deng Yu's reply, she would always think that when the spring was to accumulate some money and silver, she would definitely collect more cotton wool to make clothes for the frontier soldiers to keep warm.

Time passed day by day, and finally it was the day of the opening of Yipinxiang.

Early in the morning, a bustling street in the capital was noisy and lively, and the already bustling and lively street was even more crowded, and there were people who didn't know what was going on in front of it to make it so lively.

Those who knew the news couldn't help but feel a little proud: "You don't even know about such a big thing!" This restaurant is newly opened by Miss Liu, the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, just look at this momentum and know that it is the best in the capital, you don't know that this Miss Liu is not only the righteous daughter of Mrs. Liu, I heard that it is the person who is the prince of the dynasty, I am afraid that it will ...... in the future."

The man lowered his voice and whispered: "I'm afraid that in the future, we will all call the queen mother." ”

The inquirer was surprised when he heard this, and he also lowered his voice: "No, Miss Liu's status is so precious and she is the daughter of the boudoir, how can she do business?" (To be continued......)
