Chapter 420: It's Not What It Used To Be

The Queen Mother was a means when she was young, but she was not the kind of ruthless person, and now that she is older, she recites sutras and recites Buddha every day, which is more kind, so seeing that Lin Zhong and the three of them are nervous like that, she only smiled and asked a few words such as how many fields there is at home and how much food can be produced in a year, and asked Lin Han about his studies, so he asked them to retreat.

After sitting in the sweet hut for a while, the Queen Mother got up and said: "It's not too early, the mourning family still has to go to the Daxiang Guozhuan Temple, so I won't sit more." Ah Ruan girl, help the mourning family to get into the sedan chair. ”

This is to give Lin Ruan decency.

Lin Ruan helped the Queen Mother out of the store, and stood in front of the store, and two attendants came carrying something covered with a red cloth.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The mourning family has not had such a big appetite as today for many days, and today is the opening day of your store, and the mourning family can't come to the door empty-handed." That's why I've got some congratulatory gifts for you. ”

The waiter said: "The queen mother has a reward, reward the hometown Jun Lin Ruan, and the queen mother has a pair of inscription plaques." ”

Subsequently, the red cloth on the plaque was uncovered by Neichuan himself, and the true face of the plaque was revealed.

I saw that the plaque was written with four big characters "its flavor is endless", and next to it was the name and seal of the Queen Mother.

Lin Ruan was overjoyed in her heart, with the plaque of the Queen Mother, it was difficult for her store not to become an instant hit in Kyoto.

So Lin Ruan hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

The Queen Mother grabbed her: "Okay, you don't have to be so polite." The mourning family still has to hurry, so they don't stay longer. When the mourning family returns to the palace, if you are still in Kyoto, the mourning family will announce that you will enter the palace to speak. ”

Lin Ruan should get down, send the Queen Mother respectfully to the sedan chair, and then kneel down to send the Queen Mother off.

Xiao Jingchen personally led a team to escort the Queen Mother to the Great Xiangguo Temple.

When the queen mother's ceremonial drive was far away, Lin Ruan and the others got up.

Yang San'er was lively, and immediately asked people to hang the plaque given by the Queen Mother in the most eye-catching position in the store.

And those who watched the excitement also hurried to the store.

The queen mother came to the store in person, how rare things must be! Moreover, there is a price sign hanging in front of the store, which they can afford to consume, so they naturally refuse to miss this opportunity to be blessed by the Queen Mother.

Who is the most blessed person in the world? That's naturally the Queen Mother.

And the Queen Mother is something that they ordinary people can see, today's opportunity is really hard to find, who doesn't want to rub the blessing of the Queen Mother.

But as soon as he ran to the front of the store, Yang San'er led people to stay there and arched his hand to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, this store only entertains female guests, and male guests please move to this window to receive gifts." ”

Obviously, these people are more cooperative with this opening, and when they heard that male guests are not accepted, those people don't dare to say anything, so they go to the take-out window very cooperatively.

The female guests were led into the inner hall by the maids in the store, which opened their eyes.

While the shop was busy, a series of beautifully decorated carriages came running and stopped at the door of the sweet hut.

One by one, the daughters of the luxurious and wealthy ladies got out of the carriage, and the servants behind them were still holding gift boxes, saying that they were here to congratulate Lin Xiangjun on his good fortune.

Lin Ruan smiled faintly, and asked the maids to lead these delicate guests to the private room on the second floor, and then said that he had to entertain other customers and could not accompany them in person.

Those noble ladies and daughters were all smiling on their faces, and they said straightly: "The townsman is busy with himself, you don't have to come to entertain us, business is important, and you will have time to talk slowly in the future." ”

If it was before, who would put Lin Ruan, a four-grade countryman, in his eyes. Although she is a fourth-grade woman, she is a country woman with no real power and no background.

The officials in Kyoto, even if they are sixth- and seventh-grade, will never take Lin Ruan's identity too seriously, on the contrary, they have many ways to do it, and the backers behind them are reliable enough.

This is also the reason why Lin Ruan already has his own mansion, but no one has come to visit. When she was first enthroned, there were still a few people who wanted to place their unsuccessful children and grandchildren next to Lin Ruan, and take credit for giving gifts, but later found that Lin Ruan was a "person who didn't know how to lift", and no one paid attention to her.

After all, there are many ways, and there is no need to take their noble hot faces to stick to a country woman's cold ass and lose their share.

But now it's different, this country woman has a face in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother has come to support her in person, and she also gave a plaque with her own inscription, what a great honor!

The Queen Mother is a famous talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a good hand is hard to find. Up and down the Manchu Dynasty, only a few people can get the handwriting of the Queen Mother. This is something that has more face than any reward.

It was surprising that a country woman could be so favored by the Queen Mother. You must know that except for those princesses and county lords, there is no girl's family who can enter the eyes of the queen mother.

Moreover, Prince Xiao seems to take a lot of care of this country woman, and even vacated this store for her to do business.

This is the best shop in Kyoto, and it is not an exaggeration to make money every day, so he just said that he would let it go, which is really incomprehensible to the owner.

They didn't have time to think about what this Lin Xiangjun was capable of, so they hurriedly asked the female relatives of the family to come and congratulate them with gifts.

Let's get the relationship done first, and then slowly explore it.

These people's calculations are fine, but Lin Ruan is not stupid.

She guessed the plans of these people out of ten, so she only had a light attitude towards these noble ladies, polite but also distant.

However, she did not treat these guests slowly, and instructed the maids to be attentive, and then turned around and went out to greet the other guests.

At the beginning, the ladies and daughters didn't think there was anything special about this sweet house, they had been to restaurants and restaurants a lot, and they had seen all kinds of tricks, but it was just a gimmick for the female guest business, and they didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until the strange names of the ordered things were delivered that the daughters of these self-proclaimed well-informed ladies were all dumbfounded.

Such a delicate and beautiful thing is really for eating?

It's unheard of, unseen.

When they had appreciated enough and then listened to a bite, they suddenly had other ideas, praised the deliciousness vigorously, and kept saying: "This Lin Xiangjun is really unexpected, these things, where do they seem to come from the hands of country women." ”

Business is bustling here, and on the other side, the queen mother's honor guard walked for most of the day, and finally arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple before dark.

The queen mother sat in a sedan chair for a day, and she was also a little tired, and she was crooked on the couch and asked the palace maid to rub her shoulders for her.

Mama Hong also sat on the stool next to her, enjoying the service of another little palace maid.

Although Mama Hong is the maid of the Queen Mother, she is also from a family of eunuchs, and her relationship with the Queen Mother is like a sister, so Mama Hong is very embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother, and the treatment is not worse than those concubines, even the emperor will give her three points of face.
