"Xiaoshu, do you have any favorite dishes?" Coming to the table, Mo Linchuan said with a smile.

Concubine Ji was a little restrained: "I can't read." ”

Mo Linchuan was slightly stunned: "I'm sorry, then I'll do some." Seeing that Concubine Ji did not show discomfort because of her gaffe because of her normal expression, Mo Linchuan relaxed slightly and began to order.

Concubine Ji lowered her eyelids and hid the thoughts in her eyes, Mo Linchuan's temptation was too subtle, if she was careless just now, she leaked her mouth, or if she didn't shirk when Mo Linchuan asked her to order, I was afraid that Mo Linchuan would be very wary of her in the future, and now Mo Linchuan should not doubt her.

Concubine Ji sighed slightly: It's difficult to do tasks!

Putting down the menu and instructing Xiao Er a few more words, Mo Linchuan looked at Ji Feiyin, only to see that Ji Feiyin lowered her head and looked a little lonely.

"What's wrong? Still upset about being illiterate? Mo Linchuan felt a little guilty.

Concubine Ji raised her head, with a little red at the end of her eyes: "No ......" The best way to dilute Mo Linchuan's suspicion is to divert his attention, if she is sad because of something else, Mo Linchuan can comfort her with a few words, but if she is sad because of Mo Linchuan's momentary "gaffe", a gentleman like Mo Linchuan will definitely blame himself, at this time, how can Mo Linchuan still care about doubting her?

"If you want to read and write, I'll teach you", Mo Linchuan said gently: "Don't cry, ah." ”

Concubine Ji was surprised and delighted: "Really?!" ”

"A gentleman should keep his word." Mo Linchuan is colored.

"Okay." Concubine Ji raised a smile and was dazzling.

Seeing Concubine Ji's smile blooming again, Mo Linchuan's eyes flashed slightly.

"Have you ever thought about where to go in the future?" Mo Linchuan suddenly asked.

Concubine Ji lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't know, I can't read or be a girl, I don't understand what I can do." "I was depressed.

"Why don't you follow me?" Mo Linchuan's voice was deep.

Concubine Ji frowned slightly: This "follow" has a lot of meaning! Is it the maid and maid of Mo Linchuan? Or as his concubine? Or is it the wife that Ming Media is marrying? Mo Linchuan was deliberately vague, and Concubine Ji also pretended to think and did not give an answer quickly.

Mo Linchuan's lips opened slightly, and he was about to speak, when a voice interrupted his words.

"Guest! Your dish is here! The king smiled and acted like the wind.

"Ahem." Mo Linchuan clenched his fists to cover his lips: "That, Xiaoshu......" What do you think? Before Mo Linchuan could say the second half of his sentence, Concubine Ji's eyes lit up when she saw the steaming and fragrant meal.

"Linchuan, I'm starting to eat!" Concubine Ji blinked mischievously, and then decisively picked up a crystal elbow and gnawed it.

Mo Linchuan pursed his lips and was silent. After a while, I had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and eat gently.

There was no one on the table for a moment, and there was silence.

Concubine Ji was as quiet as a chicken, and silently scolded: Of course I can't let you continue! If you tear your face now, how can you brush up your points? Wait, Concubine Ji was stunned, if she just agreed directly, would her favorability increase?! Concubine Ji was heartbroken, and she hated to travel back in time and go back to the past!

Looking at Concubine Ji's slightly distorted expression, Mo Linchuan's eyes were puzzled: "Xiaoshu, is there something about this meal that doesn't suit your appetite?" ”

Concubine Ji looked up with a dry smile and couldn't answer for a while.

"That's... I don't think this tavern is designed right. Concubine Ji regretted it after speaking, but the shopkeeper at the top of the stairs was stunned when she heard this, and then her eyes were thrown at Concubine Ji like a knife out of the sheath.

"Oh? That girl might as well talk about it in detail, so that I can change it! It was obvious that the shopkeeper did not recognize the woman in front of him as the little beggar he had helped last night.

Concubine Ji said that she was under a lot of pressure because of Mo Linchuan's interesting eyes on the side, the unkind shopkeeper and the stunned king!

"You see, this staircase is long and gorgeous, although it looks very pleasing to the eye, but whenever Xiao Er moves water downstairs for guests, it is very laborious, not to mention, this staircase is not subject to wear and tear, shopkeeper, the maintenance of this staircase has cost a lot of money, right?" Concubine Ji hit the nail on the head.

The shopkeeper was a little silent, and said slowly: "What the girl said is indeed reasonable, but does the girl know how much profit my tavern makes?" The money for repairing the stairs is not yet in my eyes. ”

Concubine Ji shook her head: "I believe in the manager's management ability, Tianyi Tavern is only afraid that it has made a lot of money so far, and this bit of silver is not enough to make a drop in the bucket." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and couldn't help but put on a smug smile. This tavern, from opening to decoration, to expansion, is all done by him, and he has been able to stand at the foot of the Jimo Imperial City for many years without the slightest sign of decline, and everyone has to praise it when they see it.

"But", Concubine Ji hooked her red lips slightly: "It takes time to repair the stairs, and the customers lost during this period are not simply silver taels that can be calculated, isn't it?" Concubine Ji has long noticed this, that day the king for her to carry water, she noticed that the pattern on the stairs is not the same, then know that the shopkeeper is a careful person, often repair the stairs wear and tear, but this staircase is the guests on each floor to go up and down the stairs must pass, once the start of repair, delay the guest time, the guests here are not rich or expensive, naturally do not want to be limited by the stairs, will choose another tavern, during which the loss of silver is already famous Tianyi Tavern is naturally not worth mentioning, can be the dignitaries "send" Entering a competitor's tavern is tantamount to stabbing the shopkeeper in the heart.

The shopkeeper closed his eyes, and only said after a while: "Yes, what you said is exactly what I am worried about, but there is no way, this staircase costs a lot of money, whether it is its raw material rosewood or inlaid crystal, it is priceless, even the painting on it is the best painter to paint it and then invite a famous craftsman to carve it, this staircase has always been loved by guests, and removing it is tantamount to self-destructing signboard!" ”

The shopkeeper did not think about demolishing the stairs and making another plan, but this staircase is long and complicated, with a unique shape, that is, only he Tianyi Tavern in Mocheng has it, and it is a red object in other taverns.

Ji Feiyin smiled slightly: "I will say a way to ensure that the current problem can be solved." ”

"Really?" The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, he has been in business since he was a child, and he has a lot of experience, even he hasn't come up with any way to get the best of both worlds, will this young girl really have any good way? The shopkeeper was hesitant.

"Whether you use it or not, it's all up to the shopkeeper to make your own decision, so why not listen to it for the time being?" Mo Linchuan suddenly spoke, his voice was faint, but it was obvious that he was on Ji Feiyin's side.
