Chapter Forty-Eight: Mei Xiang Lou
"You have so much money in your private treasury, can I eat as much as I want?" Lin Yaxin still only thought about eating.
In fact, in front of outsiders, Lin Yaxin's mind will not be so exposed, just because there are only her own people here, she can show her true nature without defense.
And these are in Li Yiqian's view, being stupid for three years of pregnancy. His lady is getting cuter and cuter.
"Of course, even if the prime minister doesn't become an emperor, he can still afford to support you." Li Yiqian scratched Lin Yaxin's nose dotingly.
"I hate it~" Lin Yaxin frowned delicately.
"Aren't you going to watch the game? It's about to start. If you want to eat some snacks, I ask them to prepare. ”
"I want to eat red date cake, rose cake, and wishful cake!" As soon as he said the starting point, Lin Yaxin's eyes lit up.
"Xiao Wenzi, let them do it, and prepare a little more white water for Xin'er." Thinking that Lin Yaxin couldn't drink tea because he had a body, Li Yiqian asked them to prepare white water.
"And what do you want to drink?" Wen Lin saw that Li Yiqian didn't say what he wanted, so he asked him.
"Since Xin'er can only drink plain water, how can I drink tea? What's more, Xin'er is also doing this for me. Li Yiqian said and smiled softly at Lin Yaxin, "Just let them make a few more signature snacks for the rest." Don't have anything to do with osmanthus, and there are also things that pregnant people can't eat. ”
Listening to Li Yiqian's words, Lin Yaxin was moved in her heart. He did so much for himself. Even ordinary couples do not have husbands who are so accommodating for the sake of their wives.
Thinking about it, Lin Yaxin suddenly kissed Li Yiqian.
Li Yiqian was shocked by her actions, and the soft touch on his face made his heartbeat accelerate suddenly. When he came back to his senses, he saw Lin Yaxin sitting there with his head down, his face slightly drunk.
Li Yiqian laughed in a low voice.
Originally, Lin Yaxin was moved to kiss Li Yiqian, and she was very embarrassed after she calmed down. Now when I heard his laughter, I was even more ashamed and didn't dare to look at him.
"Okay, Xin'er, if you lower your head again, you're going to fall! There is no one else here, and there is no need to be shy about kissing one's father-in-law. Li Yiqian looked at Lin Yaxin's shy appearance, although he thought it was cute, he still comforted her.
After a while, Wen Lin came in with someone and stood aside after putting down the snacks.
At this time, the dragon boat race on the river has begun. Lin Yaxin no longer laughed with Li Yiqian, and watched the excitement outside intently.
Although he had already eaten a lot of food, smelling the fragrance of dim sum at this time, Lin Yaxin felt hungry again.
Seeing that it didn't take much effort, Lin Yaxin had already eaten two plates of dim sum, and Li Yiqian hurriedly asked people to withdraw the dim sum.
"What do you do!" Lin Yaxin was about to get a snack, but when she saw that everything on the table had been taken away, she looked at Li Yiqian accusingly.
"Okay, you've eaten so much, you can't eat any more, or you'll be uncomfortable for a while." Li Yiqian never knew that Lin Yaxin was so edible, and he couldn't help but regret that they had prepared so many snacks.
"But I'm hungry, so let's eat another plate, okay~" Lin Yaxin looked at Li Yiqian with wide eyes, her eyes were full of tears. It's like saying, if you don't promise, I'll cry to you.
"Nope." Li Yiqian looked at Lin Yaxin's expression, a little unbearable, but he still refused. You must know that she is pregnant now and can't eat hawthorn. If she has accumulated food, she can only wait for herself to digest it, and then she will be the one who suffers.
"That's not a half plate." Lin Yaxin discussed with Li Yiqian painfully.
"Not a single piece. Xin'er, if you want to eat more dim ssum, you can't eat the delicious food I asked them to prepare at noon, are you sure you want to eat dim sum and skip meals? Li Yiqian put on a more tempting condition.
"There was something delicious at noon! Then I won't eat snacks, you let them take it! Hearing that she could eat more delicious food at noon, Lin Yaxin forgot about the dim sum in a blink of an eye.
Wen Lin watched the two masters reach an agreement, and then asked someone to come up and clean up the snacks.
Unlike the quiet in the wings, the scenes downstairs and by the river are lively. The shouts and cheers were endless.
In China, the annual dragon boat race is held on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, and the local government is responsible for collecting prizes from the local area. The team that wins the championship can pick one item as a reward, and the rest of the items will be handled differently in different places.
Soon, the game was decided. It was just time for lunch.
"Hurry up and let them serve, didn't you say there was something delicious at noon!" As soon as the competition ended, Lin Yaxin remembered her lunch.
"I'm not hungry for you, this is a teahouse, how can there be lunch? Let's go. With that, Li Yiqian stood up.
Lin Yaxin let him lead him out of the teahouse.
Soon, they walked to Meixiang Building, the largest restaurant in Huajing. After Li Yiqian's introduction, Lin Yaxin knew that this was also his private property.
She doesn't know how to describe her mood anymore, when she was at home, she knew that Mei Xianglou's food was unique, so the business was very good, and the meal would often not be in line. In this way, you can imagine how profitable Meixianglou is. Coupled with the previous teahouse and some industries she didn't know, Li Yiqian's private treasury must have more money than ordinary wealthy families.
"What do you think?" Li Yiqian looked at Lin Yaxin standing there without moving, a little puzzled.
"Nothing, I'm just curious how much money you have." Lin Yaxin replied stupidly.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, just rest assured."
As he spoke, he walked over and pulled Lin Yaxin into Meixiang Building.
Different from the noisy general restaurant, Meixiang House has a more peaceful atmosphere. Even those gentlemen generally don't dare to make trouble here.
You must know that when Meixianglou was newly opened a few years ago, there was a famous gentleman in Beijing who was noisy here, and it was blasted out at that time. Later, I didn't dare to retaliate for some reason, and when others asked, they only said that they couldn't afford to offend the owner of this Meixiang Building. After that, Meixianglou was listed as an existence that could not make trouble.
As a qualified gentleman, knowing who can and can't be messed with is the most basic compulsory course. Naturally, they will not be sent to death without sight.
At this time, it was time for lunch, plus the dragon boat race, so there were a lot of people in Meixianglou.
When the shopkeeper saw Li Yiqian, he hurriedly greeted him.
"You're here, the room is ready, please."
The people who were still queuing saw that Li Yiqian had a place for them when they first came, and they were still entertained by the shopkeeper Wang, and they were all a little curious about their identities in their hearts.
"Stop!" Just as they were about to go upstairs, a voice rang out.
Li Yiqian didn't even look at it, pulled Lin Yaxin and continued to walk up.
Seeing that they were ignoring him, the man felt humiliated and ran straight over to block their path.
"You can't go!" The people who came looked much more rugged than the Chinese.
Li Yiqian knew that if there was no accident, this was a member of the Eagle Country. His accent has the unique charm of the Eagle Country, although it is a Chinese language, but it is obviously learned later, and there are some differences from the locals in pronunciation.
Seeing this, Wen Lin was afraid that he would be unfavorable to his master, so he hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of them.
"I don't know what Childe is doing?" Wen Lin's tone was not very good.
"Why should they just come up and wait here! Isn't Meixiang House not accepting reservations? The man was clearly angry, too.
Yes, reservations are not accepted, this is the rule of Meixiang Building, no matter who comes to Meixiang Building to eat, you must queue up on the spot. Of course, there are also people who let their subordinates come to line up first and wait until they have dinner.
After he shouted like this, the people sitting in line there also felt uncomfortable. yes, why did they get in first!
Among them are many powerful people in the family. Even with examples from previous years, it is now crying out. After all, no matter how powerful Mei Xianglou is, he has to mix in Beijing, and if he offends them at the same time, then it is not certain whether this restaurant can be opened.
"Sons, be quiet, please listen to the old man."
Shopkeeper Wang is also a person who has seen the world, and he is not flustered at all when he sees such a scene.
"Mei Xianglou does not accept reservations is an ironclad rule, and it will not change because of anyone, please rest assured. As for this son, he is indeed just here. The reason why we let them go up directly is because this prince has chartered a wing room here since the establishment of Meixianglou, and it has not been interrupted for many years. If any of the sons can do this, then we in Meixianglou naturally don't mind setting this precedent for you. ”
The words of the shopkeeper Wang immediately calmed everyone, and he rented a side room in Meixianglou all the year round, how much silver does it need! No wonder people can set a precedent for him.
"So, does this boy have any other opinions?" The shopkeeper looked at the man with a smile.
The Eagle Country man is a merchant who has been running between the Eagle Country and China all the year round to do some business. Every time he comes to Huaguo, his favorite thing is to come to Meixianglou to eat some good food, and naturally he knows the price.
Now that he knew that this was a person he couldn't afford to provoke, he naturally didn't dare to stop him anymore, making such a big joke, he didn't have the face to wait any longer, and left in a hurry.
No matter how much his words shook the hearts of the others, the king's shopkeeper led them upstairs.
Entering the room, Lin Yaxin took off her veil.
"Father-in-law Wen, these two are ......"
Shopkeeper Wang didn't recognize Li Yiqian and Lin Yaxin, but he knew Wen Lin, and only then did he see Wen Lin following them, although he had a guess, he still couldn't believe it.
"I haven't seen the emperor and Xin Zhaoyi yet." Wen Lin confirmed his guess.
The shopkeeper hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"I saw the emperor, but I didn't recognize it as the emperor, and I deserve death!"
"It's all right, get up. It's me who made the transfiguration, and it's not surprising that you don't recognize it. ”
It turned out that in order to make it easier for Li Yiqian to leave the palace, he also made a subtle treatment on his face, so that people could not recognize his appearance.
And although Wen Lin is also his personal eunuch, he is not often shown in front of officials, and if he needs to come forward in government affairs, Mu Xiu is usually dealing with it, so those people naturally didn't recognize him just now.
As for Lin Yaxin, she was a boudoir woman before entering the palace, and there are even fewer people who have seen her and can associate it with her name.
