188. Windfall
On the morning of the second day, Liu Jiaojiao was teaching the chef of Xie Mansion to make double-skin milk in the kitchen, and the next person suddenly came to report, saying that Niu Haoran was here, as if there was something important, she immediately stopped what she was doing, and after talking to the chef, she hurried to the flower hall dedicated to hospitality.
As soon as Niu Haoran saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, there is something important for you to know." ”
Liu Jiaojiao nodded clearly, glanced at the red sleeves, and she immediately waved away the other people who were waiting in the house, and went to guard outside.
"What's wrong? What's going on? Liu Jiaojiao asked him to sit down before asking.
Niu Haoran said with a serious expression: "Yesterday was also a coincidence, the third brother and I went out from the back door of the shop with a few guys, and we wanted to tidy up there, but we ran into two bullies trying to kidnap a young woman. Because the stakes are so high, my third brother and I cleared up the beginning and end overnight, so I only came to tell you now. ”
As confidants, he and Liu San naturally knew Liu Jiaojiao's true background, so they also knew Xu Tianci and others.
Liu Jiaojiao immediately became interested, raised her eyebrows and said, "It has something to do with my father?" Let's hear it. ”
"The woman was almost killed, but fortunately we were saved in time, and she survived, but she is still unconscious. We arrested a bully at that time, he told us that the girl's name was Xiaocui, she was the maid who served Su Fengjiao, and after Su Fengjiao was put in prison, the Lord Xu found her and asked her to poison the food on the occasion of the visit, and bribed the jailer and the servant to create the illusion that Su Fengjiao committed suicide by swallowing gold. Xiaocui said that she originally refused, but Master Xu promised to give her a sum of money after the matter was completed, and return the deed of sale to send her back to her hometown, so she couldn't resist the temptation to do something wrong. Who would have thought that after the success of the matter, Lord Xu reversed, she was chased and killed as soon as she left the territory of the capital, fortunately she escaped smartly, I wanted to go back to the capital immediately to Shuntianfu to reveal the truth of the matter, but I didn't expect that the people who chased her still found her, if it wasn't for me and the third brother to see this by chance, this girl would have been disfigured and thrown to the mass grave after being wiped out. ”
"We originally wanted to tell you immediately, but I was afraid that the person who ran away would go and tell that Lord Xu, after all, the goal of Qingxinfang is too big and it is easy to cause trouble for you, so I asked the person about his approximate location, and took someone to arrest him back, but fortunately he went in time, and he didn't have time to say about the failure of the pursuit. We've locked them up and put them in guard. ”
After listening to Niu Haoran's words, Liu Jiaojiao smiled and approving: "You are doing things more and more steadily now, and you are doing a good job." ”
"It's all my duty, and I can't afford the praise of the owner." Niu Haoran's face was indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant.
"In fact, when the news of Su Fengjiao's suicide came, I guessed that it was my father who was killing people, but I didn't expect him to use such a method, and he was addicted to killing." Liu Jiaojiao smiled at the corner of her lips, but her tone was as cold as frost.
Although Niu Haoran also despised Xu Tianci's approach, after all, he was the biological father of the Dong family, so it was inconvenient for him to make any comments, so he just frowned and said: "Dongjia, although that Xiaocui was saved, the doctor said that she was seriously injured, her ribs were broken three times, her internal organs and head were severely damaged, and she was not sure if she could wake up, you see......"
"Please have the best doctor, use the best medicine, silver is not a problem, be sure to let her wake up safely, this person will be of great use to me in the future." Liu Jiaojiao said without hesitation.
"Yes, I will do everything I can to do it, what are you going to do with those two bullies who are chasing her?"
"You take care of them first, I will send someone to pick them up as soon as possible, these two people can also come in handy in the future."
"Okay, don't worry, I will take care of people. By the way, the host, the day after tomorrow is the opening day of Qingxinfang, do you have any other arrangements besides the ones you have prepared? ”
Liu Jiaojiao slapped her head violently, yes, the day after tomorrow is the day when Qingxinfang opens, and she almost forgot about it.
"There are no other arrangements for the time being, anyway, you remember to vacate all the private rooms on the third floor, there will definitely be a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries arriving that day, you can't let them sit in the lobby like ordinary people, right?"
Not to mention the people on the Xie family's side, Gu Tingfeng had already said that he would definitely arrive, just with the status of the Xie family and the name of the third prince, there will definitely be many powerful people who will come to hear the news.
Niu Haoran nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have already explained this, but there are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, will it not be enough to sit?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, just remember not to have any accidents that day, whether Qingxinfang can gain a foothold in the capital depends on the day after tomorrow."
Liu Jiaojiao is not worried about whether the private room on the third floor is enough to sit on this matter, although there are many powerful people in the capital, but they also have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, there is an uncle who is there, there is no need for her to worry about this matter at all, not to mention that there is also the great god Gu Tingfeng, in terms of status, except for the emperor in the entire capital, he is the biggest, who dares to be presumptuous in front of him?
For such a thing as a fox and a fake tiger, Liu Jiaojiao will not mind at all, as the old saying goes, you have the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires.
Thinking of Gu Tingfeng, she suddenly felt that she seemed to have no conscience, and she said that she was a friend, and she didn't even ask a few words if he had an accident now, after all, the person who dealt with him was the current emperor, so he couldn't say that he was really fine, right? The day after tomorrow, he has to use his power to suppress those powerful people.
Well, she admits, the latter is the point.
Girl, she's so heartless.
At this time, Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that Gu Tingfeng was now fighting wits and courage with his emperor brother in the palace.
In the imperial study, Gu Tingjun sat in front of the imperial case, looking at Gu Tingfeng who was kneeling below with an expressionless face.
"Brother Huang, you see that your subordinates have been kneeling for so long, and your knees hurt, so you have spared your subordinates a lot, right?" Gu Tingfeng looked at him pitifully, and didn't forget to hammer his hard-working knee.
Gu Tingjun was about to laugh angrily.
I asked him to ask, but before he could speak, he knelt down directly, and then he crackled and said a lot of nonsense and plausible nonsense, and he didn't have a chance to interject, and then he pretended to be pitiful, and said a lot of things about all kinds of decent.
His father has always been majestic, and his mother is also a gentle and sensible person, and he really doesn't know who he is following with his scoundrel temperament.
"Alright, don't pretend in front of me, did I make you kneel? Get up! Gu Ting said angrily.
Gu Tingfeng hurriedly got up, his vigorous appearance couldn't tell that he was a person who had been kneeling for a while, Gu Tingjun was extremely suspicious that he had done his hands and feet at his knees, maybe he had tied a soft cushion, otherwise he had been kneeling on such a hard floor for so long, how could he get up so easily?
But he can't hold it accountable, the brother who loves his brother has played it for so many years, he can't suddenly turn his face now and let people pick off the other party's pants to check it, right?
Heart congestion, incomparably heart congestion.
Gu Tingfeng looked indifferent, and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Huang, the younger brother really didn't deliberately hide from your old man to return to Beijing, you also know that the best thing in your life is food, I learned that a restaurant that my brother likes very much is going to open a branch in the capital, where can my brother sit still?" I came back early. It's not that I'm thinking about it opening quickly, so I forgot to come to the palace. ”
"Oh? I do know you love to eat, but what kind of restaurant can make you so obsessed? Even forgot to go back to Beijing and then in the palace? Gu Tingjun said that he didn't believe it, he knew that this younger brother loved to eat, but he always felt that he was pretending.
"This restaurant is called Qingxinfang, the chef's skills are excellent, there are many patterns, originally opened in a small town, the younger brother accidentally found it during a private visit, shocked by the heavens, grinding the owner for several days, she agreed to come to the capital to open a branch. Don't hide it from the imperial brother, the younger brother has prepared that as long as the person is in the capital, three meals a day will be there, and for convenience, the younger brother has also deliberately joined the shares. Brother Huang, the day after tomorrow Qingxinfang opens, do you want to patronize it and take care of your brother's business? ”
"Qingxinfang? The name is quite interesting, what is the allusion? ”
The proprietor was a wonderful man, and it is said that he once heard a palindrome from a down-and-out poet and thought it was very interesting, so he wrote it down and used it as the name of the restaurant. The poem is only five words, you can clear your heart, Brother Huang, you try to mess the order of these five words, no matter which word you start reading, it can become a complete sentence. ”
As an emperor, he has received elite education since he was a child, Gu Tingjun is considered to be outstanding in literature, and he instantly understood the fun of this sentence, and after muttering it in his mouth a few times, he couldn't help but chuckle and said: "It's really interesting, having such a talent is actually down-and-out, and it is also a creation to make people." ”
"Not really! At first, the younger brother thought it was a story deliberately made up by the owner, but after getting along with her for a few days, he found that she regarded money as her life, and she would never have such talent. Gu Tingfeng's tone carried a touch of regret, as if he was angry.
Gu Tingjun is not a person with a good tongue, not to mention that as an emperor, he will not be allowed to become a foodie, you must know that since ancient times, in order to better protect himself, the emperor will hardly let others find out what he likes to eat, and the most he can do for each dish is to pick a few chopsticks to taste it, for fear that someone will seize his preference and take the opportunity to poison him.
So although he listened, he didn't take it to heart at all, just thinking that this younger brother acted in this play just to arouse his interest in this restaurant, and then make it easier for him to earn money.
He won't fall for this!
People are like this, for things that they are not interested in, they basically go in and out of the left ear, and they don't pay attention, which also leads to Gu Tingjunda ignoring the existence of Qingxinfang from the beginning.
When it came to food, Gu Tingfeng's mouth couldn't stop at all, and he said a lot of things again, and Gu Tingjun began to have a headache when he heard it.
He simply waved his hand and said with a hint of impatience: "That's it, I'm not interested in these, you go back, I still have a fold to see." ”
Gu Tingfeng said cautiously: "Then didn't the imperial brother pursue it?" ”
"What else to pursue? Do you want to be greedy for the tongue? If you're guilty of deliciousness, you won't have enough nine heads to cut off, hurry up, don't get in the way of me! ”
"Thank you, brother Huang, brother retired." As soon as he took a few steps, Gu Tingfeng turned his head and looked at Gu Tingjun with hope in his eyes, "Brother Huang, you really don't think about taking care of your brother's business?" If you are willing to take care of it, the business of the restaurant will definitely be very good, if you can add a royal pen or something......"
"Get out!" Gu Tingjun couldn't listen to it anymore, so he grabbed a fold and threw it over.
