After doing this, Ruan Mianmian and the three of them walked back to Mu Ruqing's side, at this time, although she had her revenge, she was not happy in her heart, and only whispered to Mu Ruqing: "Brother Mu, let's go home." ”

Mu Ruqing also said: "Okay, we have also saved the people, as for the eldest lady, how she will deal with it is still at the command of the Hou Ye, and we will not interfere." ”

The four of them were crammed into the same carriage on the way back, Ruan Mianmian had been lying on Jiang Xinyue's lap and didn't know what she was thinking, Fang Dacang took out the pastries, and she refused to eat them.

"Mianmian, you don't have to be overwhelmed, she should have thought of this day when she hurt people, and we didn't do anything today, if Liu Xi'er didn't hand the blood-dripping wine to Xinyue, how could we fight against the army? Speaking of it, it is still self-inflicted, and it is not allowed to live. Jiang Xinyue said soothingly.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "I don't sympathize with her, I'm just tired, wait for me to go back and have a good night's rest, tomorrow we will open the door with a taste of incense, I will still eat at the door, we will never get involved in such a thing again, okay?" ”

Mu Ruqing replied softly: "Okay, let's concentrate on business in the future, and don't think about anything else." ”

Back to Yipinxiang, Uncle Hua and Liu Xin'er came out, and they were relieved when they saw that everyone was fine. Everyone was not in the mood today, so they went straight back to their rooms to sleep.

Now Jiang Xinyue has cleaned up a room for Liu Xin'er alone, so she doesn't have to squeeze together with Ruan Mianmian, and after returning to the room, Ruan Mianmian took out a little preserved fruit and put it on the windowsill with an oiled paper bag, and poured another cup of tea for herself.

She has always had the habit of sitting in front of the window drinking tea, looking at the gently swaying willow branches outside the window and the shadows of the trees on the ground in the yard to relieve the depression in her heart.

But now that she looked at the willow tree, she couldn't help but look at the little square hole in the root. Although Uncle Hua tried his best to paste seamlessly, he couldn't cover the mouth in his heart.

She did not covet supremacy and power, but feared the calamity that power might bring. This one eldest lady of the Hou Mansion can cause so many things, and the center of the power vortex should be so dead.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian didn't want to look at the willow tree anymore, so she simply reached out to close the window, but she didn't want to suddenly reach out outside and grab her slender white wrist. Ruan Mianmian was about to exclaim in surprise, but saw a simple and honest face come out from below, Fang Cannon's index finger was raised in front of his mouth, he made a gesture of silence, and said softly: "Mianmian, it's me." ”

The corners of Ruan Mianmian's mouth instantly rose again: "Wow, Dengzi, why did you climb my window again and invite me truthfully!" ”

"I guess you can't sleep tonight, you can't sleep by the window drinking tea and eating snacks as soon as you can't sleep, who would have thought that you would have to close the window today, it's really strange and weird." Fang Cannon shook his head as those scholars learned, making Ruan Mianmian laugh crisply.

"I scolded you for being a disciple, you didn't get annoyed or didn't say anything, and you made such a lot of strange tones, because we usually say hello, but now it seems that I'm afraid you're a complete villain!" Ruan Mianmian scolded with a smile.

"It's bad, it's bad, then I bought the flower tea that we like to drink, and I don't know if a person as pure and immaculate as Mianmian will accept the tea of his disciples." Fang Cannon took out a paper bag from his bosom and shook it in front of Ruan Mianmian's eyes.

"Don't be in vain, people are bad, but tea is innocent, if people don't accept tea because they are rude, isn't it a sin?" Ruan Mianmian pursed her lips, and also learned to speak in Fang Cannon's tone.

"That's it, that's it, sleep and sleep peacefully, and the little one will retire!" Fang Dacang joked a few more words, and then retreated from Ruan Mianmian's window.

Ruan Mianmian burst out laughing, reached out to close the window, and shut out Fang Dacang's thoughts.

On the second day, Ruan Mianmian ate and broadcast at noon as usual, and opened for the first time in ten days, and the number of customers was more than twice as many as before, and Ruan Mianmian's side of the table was surrounded by water.

Ruan Mianmian was halfway through eating, and seeing that the guests were already the most, she stopped her chopsticks, took out a cloth roll from under the table, and opened it to see that there were a few lines of big characters written on it: From today on, Yipinxiang will cooperate with the Hou Mansion of Anyang to carry out meal takeaway business, so that you can enjoy food without leaving home.

Ruan Mianmian introduced in a crisp voice next to him: "Our fragrant food is unique, and the people who eat it will naturally say that it is good, but if you can't come for the time being, you can also avoid regrets." As long as you register in our restaurant and set a banquet when and where to hold a banquet, the restaurant will definitely deliver it on time with quality and quantity. Just imagine, who doesn't want to enjoy hot pot with their wife and children, relatives and friends at home? And our boss said that in the first month of the opening of this takeaway business, all customers who order takeaway will receive a delicate dessert, which is guaranteed to be unheard of and unseen. ”

After that, Ruan Mianmian and Fang Dacang hung this advertising cloth at the door of Yipinxiang together, and the guests seemed to be very interested, and for a while it was even more lively than watching Ruan Mianmian eat and broadcast.

Ruan Mianmian observed that many of them left in a hurry after reading this notice, which was also expected by Mu Ruqing, after the news of the cooperation between Yipinxiang and the Marquis of Anyang spread, many nobles and officials in the DPRK and China would definitely come to inquire about the news on the first day of Yipinxiang's opening, otherwise the number of people watching Ruan Mianmian would not suddenly increase so much.

These people who came to inquire about the news went back, and the word spread ten, ten, ten, hundred, and the takeaway business of Yipinxiang may be able to explode in various circles within a day.

On the first day of the takeaway, Mu Ruqing's desired effect was achieved, and there were five aristocrats who sent maids to order hot pot takeaways, and they were all scheduled for this night, which shows how many people wanted to eat hot pot because of their identity but couldn't eat it.

As for the manpower problem, it was all prepared by Anyang Hou, who recruited some young students who were familiar with the routes and mansions in the capital, and did several days of training in the Zhuangzi of the Hou Mansion in advance, and issued uniform work clothes, so that they could work on the first day.

Mu Ruqing also thought about the problem of insufficient manpower in Yipinxiang, in addition to Mu Ruqing, the boss of this restaurant, there are only Ruan Mianmian, Fang Cannon, and Uncle Hua, three workers, although Jiang Xinyue often lives here to help, which can reduce a little pressure, but everyone is still busy, and now with Liu Xin'er, the second lady of the Hou Mansion, to help, but she is pampered, and there is nothing she can do except help Uncle Hua wash the vegetables.

It's just that now I can't find good manpower to expand, Mu Ruqing has already thought about it, and after a while, the takeaway will be stable, so I will pick a few people to help in the restaurant, and everyone can worry less.

What everyone didn't expect was that there was an uninvited guest in the restaurant that evening. The man rode a tall horse, dressed in a brocade robe embroidered with auspicious clouds, and led dozens of people in dark red robes behind him.

As soon as they came in, they cleared the idle people in the field, Ruan Mianmian hurriedly ran out to meet them, Ruan Mianmian hid in Mu Ruqing's back door and muttered to Fang Cannon: "Cannon, you said this battle, are we letting people fight a lawsuit again?" ”

"Silence! The little prince arrived, and you waited to bow down to greet you! A red-robed guard stepped to his side, and the other guards retreated neatly to the sides, revealing the glittering man behind him.

"Lu... Lu Return? Are you the king? Ruan Mianmian looked at the person with round eyes, the person who was called the prince was not Lu Gui, a frequent visitor to Yipinxiang?

Lu Gui waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up with a smile: "That's right, are you surprised?" Not surprised? ”

"Then how are you... What about the surname Lu? Ruan Mianmian's mind flashed what Jiang Xinyue said that night, the current royal family is surnamed Mo, why is his surname Lu but the prince?

"Well, I'll tell you about it later." Lu Gui said that he straightened his clothes, and his always happy expression was gone, "I came today to pass on an invitation." ”

What kind of invitation can be so pompous? Yipinxiang everyone stared, and they were all a little stunned.

"Spread the word of the saint, the capital Yipin Xiang Restaurant, the management is good, the cooking skills are exquisite, and it is specially announced that the Yipin Xiang Restaurant enters the banquet once, and immediately enters the palace, there must be no mistake."

After hearing this, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I didn't understand what it meant for a while.

"Don't worry, the saint is very kind, and there will be a reward when the time comes." Lu Gui naturally thought that Ruan Mianmian was worried about his head. But in their hearts, no matter how kind they are, they are also the emperor, and they haven't heard of any civilian restaurants that can be recruited into the palace to serve for many years, how can they not be afraid?

"It's... I don't know why the emperor summoned him, and he couldn't prepare, it's really in a hurry. Mu Ruqing wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and was suddenly a little at a loss.

"It's okay, the imperial dining room in the palace is the most complete, you don't have to prepare anything, just bring your secret recipe to the bottom of the pot, this time it is the emperor and the queen mother who are going to the banquet, and a few concubines and princesses, prepare a few more copies at the bottom of the pot, that is." Lu Gui returned to his smiling appearance, walked to a table and poured himself a cup of tea for himself: "In this way, you prepare for half an hour, and then I will send you into the palace." ”

Mu Ruqing and a few people hurriedly gathered in the kitchen, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that no one was coming, this situation was so depressing, it would cost half a life.

Ruan Mianmian pinched the corners of his clothes with both hands: "What should I do, Brother Mu, why did the Holy Lord suddenly let us enter the palace, there can't be some conspiracy, right?" ”

"Let's take one step at a time, I look at Lu Daxia's appearance, it shouldn't be a bad thing for us to enter the palace."

"Alas, I said a long time ago that it is a place to eat people and not spit out bones, but now that I can't hide, it's just like Ruqing said, let's prepare first." Uncle Hua was originally the most disgusted person with the powerful, but now he sees it most clearly, and as he spoke, he turned around and packed up the bottom materials.

Ruan Mianmian was not a tangled person, so he pulled the cannon to help Uncle Hua sort the bottom material into a small cloth bag, and then brought it out for those officers and soldiers to check.

The officers and soldiers were present because the little prince was present, and this prince had some care for Yipinxiang, so they passed after a few rough inspections.

After preparing a full thirty base materials, Mu Ruqing took Ruan Mianmian and them into the carriage prepared by Lu Gui. Mu Ruqing's identity is naturally not able to use a carriage with royal specifications, but the carriage that came out of the palace is not comparable to the outside at all, the horse is a high-headed horse, the car is a wooden-roofed car, and the whole body is magnificent.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the people who were a pint of incense got out of the car, looked up at the vermilion palace wall in front of them, and the place they were going to step into after a while was the center of state power and the forbidden land that ordinary people had never set foot in.
