Chapter 128: Pastry
Because of the shortage of people in the restaurant, everyone has the ability to do a few things, after the prince came, it was no exception, in addition to checking the accounts, he also learned the trivial matter of settling accounts, whenever Lu Liuer needed to go to other places to help, he naturally appeared in the position of the account room.
In the afternoon of this day, when there were relatively few guests, Lu Liuer suddenly found the prince and said with a melancholy face: "I'm a little uncomfortable today, can you help me temporarily take over the affairs of the accounting room, I want to go upstairs to rest for a while." ”
As for why she was uncomfortable, she didn't say why.
The prince didn't ask either.
As soon as he saw Lu Liu'er, he couldn't help but think of his sister, if she was still there, she would be about the same age as Lu Liu'er.
It's a pity that creation makes people.
The prince half-lowered his eyes, and then nodded to Lu Liu'er: "It's okay, I'll leave it to me here, since you are not feeling well, go upstairs to rest for a while, otherwise you can ask for leave and go home to rest." ”
Lu Liuer was very grateful for his concern for her, but she would never dare to take a leave of absence to go home to rest.
After all, the prince's situation has not been good recently, and Mo Simin is not here, so the restaurant is in need of people.
"I'm going to rest for a while and I'll be back soon."
The prince agreed lightly, and watched her walk briskly to the lounge on the third floor.
Because he was relatively familiar with everything in the restaurant, after the prince temporarily took the position of Mr. Bookkeeper, there was nothing wrong at first, and the accounts that should be calculated were all well calculated, until he counted the accounts of a table of guests, and he saw a special dish.
When Zhu Er was alive, she liked this dish the most, and every time she came to the restaurant to eat, she would definitely order this dish.
Now the food still tastes the same, but she can't taste it anymore.
Thinking of this, he was in a trance.
This directly led to his miscalculation, the guest pointed out the error of the account, and then raised his voice to worry with him and said: "What's going on in your restaurant, a good account can be counted more, these taels of silver are nothing to you for, but for me, that's a few days of food money, if I don't apologize, I'll block here, let everyone know that your store is a big bully!" ”
The sound of commotion at the counter attracted the attention of the guests in the box upstairs.
They hurried to the cloister, looking worriedly at the dazed prince behind the counter.
"Why don't you go and talk about it?" One of the middle-aged men couldn't look at it, and he proposed with a half-frown.
The other directly stopped the person, and then shook his head at him: "It's better for him to solve his affairs by himself, and we, the people, it's better not to interfere indiscriminately." ”
"But he-" The middle-aged man wanted to say something, but the one with a relatively high status directly made a silent gesture to him, "Don't talk about it, I... I am sure that he will solve this matter satisfactorily. “
The prince had no idea that he was expected of him, and he hung his head and let others accuse him, and did not say a word the whole time.
The farce didn't end until Mo Simin returned.
The guest was a regular customer, and when he recognized Mo Simin's face, he complained to her indignantly and said: "What's the matter with your bookkeeper, like a fool, why don't you say a word after calculating the wrong accounts, and don't even say a debt, does he not take the guest in his eyes at all?" ”
Mo Simin hurriedly smiled and made amends: "He's not stupid, or he's not been in a good mood recently, and there has just been an accident at home recently, so please be considerate." ”
In order to calm his anger, Mo Simin promised: "In this way, the money for your wine and food today will be counted in my account, and the food you just ordered will not be paid, today will be regarded as a small mistake, I hope you don't worry too much about us." ”
Not only scolded people but also got the opportunity to get a free order, which is a good thing that everyone thinks is pie in the sky.
The guest's eyes lit up, he nodded in agreement, and then returned to his seat to eat.
At the same time, Lu Liuer had just woken up from a nap, and when she heard the movement downstairs, she was very flustered.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Liu'er hurriedly rushed to the prince's side, and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm a little uncomfortable today, so I handed over the task of the accounting room to Gongzi to help, is there something wrong?" ”
Mo Simin's expression was complicated, but he couldn't blame, so he said helplessly: "I miscalculated the account just now, but I have solved it, the situation of the son seems to be a little wrong, I will take him to rest for a while, and you will have to worry about the affairs of the account room and the restaurant." ”
Lu Liu'er nodded hurriedly, and watched with a worried look as Mo Simin helped the prince upstairs.
The two who were originally standing in the corridor hurriedly walked into the room when they saw this.
The man in the brocade robe looked disappointed, and even his brows couldn't help but twist: "I didn't expect the queen to say that she would perform well in the restaurant, and it would be like this!" ”
Obviously, the brocade-clothed man in the box is the current emperor.
He came to the restaurant today because the queen praised the prince's behavior in his ear for several days, so he was tempted to come out to take a look, and by the way, take a look at the situation in the restaurant, what he never expected was that the prince's performance was so disappointing to him!
Not only did he miscalculate the accounts, but he didn't even have the courage to admit his mistakes.
He just stood behind the counter and let others insult him, which made the emperor very annoyed, but also very helpless.
"It's not a thing!" The emperor hated that iron could not be made of steel.
When the minister who accompanied him on a private visit heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "Seeing is not necessarily believing, what you see may be just a one-sided situation?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" The Emperor was puzzled and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for me to see his specific performance in the restaurant?" ”
The minister smiled and said confidently: "Even if we are in the restaurant, from the time we sit in the morning to the time when the door closes at night, it is impossible to see the prince's performance, and we want to know how his situation is, the fastest and most accurate way is to ask others in the restaurant I think the girl behind the counter is very good, and looking at her worried look, she should be familiar with the prince." ”
The emperor's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked the people he brought to invite Lu Liu'er upstairs.
Lu Liu'er appeared in their box with a nervous mood: "I don't know what the two guests ordered?" ”
"Little girl, don't be nervous, we just want to ask you something." The emperor smiled gently, "Is the prince who was in charge of the accounts just now familiar with you?" ”
Lu Liu'er didn't know what they wanted to do when they asked this, so she looked very hesitant, for fear that after knowing the situation, they would be unfavorable to the prince.
"We're not bad people." The emperor spoke in a gentle voice as much as possible, just not wanting to scare the thin and delicate little girl in front of him, "We just want to ask him how he is doing in the restaurant, and we will definitely not do anything bad to him, you can rest assured." ”
Lu Liu'er forced herself to calm down, raised her eyes to look at the faces of the two distinguished guests in the room, and unexpectedly found that one of them had a similar appearance to the prince's.
There shouldn't be such a coincidence in the world, maybe they are the elders of the prince.
Lu Liuer's tense heartstrings were a little looser: "He and I are not familiar with each other, but we know each other, we work together in the restaurant, and we always need a little communication, by the way, are you relatives of Feng Gongzi?" ”
The emperor smiled and did not answer, which was the default attitude.
The big stone in Lu Liuer's heart finally fell.
"I see that he seems to have miscalculated the accounts in the restaurant today, is he usually so careless?" The Emperor said with concern on his face.
"No," although Lu Liu'er didn't see the scene just now, but judging from the prince's recent situation and Mo Simin's attitude, she could already roughly think of what had happened, and she couldn't help but want to fight for the prince, "Usually Feng Gongzi is very careful in his work, and he didn't miss the decisions he made, but today he suddenly miscalculated the accounts, I think he definitely didn't mean it, just because he was in a bad mood recently." ”
The emperor's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?" ”
"I don't know this very well," Lu Liu'er scratched her hair and said nervously, "I heard Sister Mo say that there seems to be something wrong in his family recently. ”
It must be because of the matter of Fengyi Zhu.
The emperor's eyes were slightly downcast, and his expression was a little solemn.
After their questions were asked, Lu Liu'er was about to go downstairs and start to work on her own business, before leaving, she looked back cautiously, and said to the two guests in the box: "Since you know Feng Gongzi and are his relatives, presumably your words will definitely be useful to him, if you have the opportunity to go back, please persuade him, if you are depressed for several days, it will also affect your body." ”
The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "If we can persuade us, we will definitely persuade us." ”
On the other hand, the prince didn't know that he was being remembered.
As soon as he was pulled into the lounge by Mo Simin, he sat down in a chair, and he hadn't said a word since the beginning of the matter.
Mo Simin was very worried about his psychological condition, so he gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can rest in the lounge for a while, the affairs of the restaurant will be handled by me and Liu'er, you don't have to worry about it." ”
The prince still did not speak.
Mo Simin stood beside him worriedly, and waited for a long time before he finally spoke: "If I could have known the news earlier and persuaded my father to take back her fate, maybe she wouldn't have died!" ”
Sure enough, I still can't get over this hurdle.
Mo Simin sighed, and couldn't bear to say: "Don't think about this matter anymore, people have to look forward, things have happened, and there is no point in dwelling on it, isn't it." ”
Feng Yi Zhu is dead, no matter how much he regrets and blames himself, it will only affect himself.
"If the thirteenth princess knows and learns that you blame yourself so much, not only will she not be happy, but she will even feel uneasy." Mo Simin persuaded him, "The best explanation I can give to the deceased is to live your future life well, you can't be trapped in memories for the rest of your life, right, people always have to move forward." ”
She seemed to feel that her words were inappropriate, and added: "Finding out the murderer and then killing him is the best comfort for the deceased." ”
"Thank you." The prince said with his head bowed.
Mo Simin patronized himself and spoke, but he didn't hear clearly for a while: "What did you just say?" ”
"I said," the prince looked up, his gloomy expression changed slightly, "thank you for your consolation." ”
Although he was still in a bad mood, he vaguely saw the way out of the fog.
