Chapter 159: Cutting corners
"Erchen originally planned to wait for his father to establish the crown prince before coming back to see you!" Shen Qianchen said his thoughts without concealment.
"You can always guess my thoughts!" The emperor's face was full of helplessness, "Have you suffered all these years outside?" ”
"No, Erchen is doing very well, although there is no brocade clothes and food outside, but there is the freedom that Erchen yearns for!" Shen Qianchen never hid his truest side in front of him.
He didn't want the throne, so he didn't want to please the emperor everywhere, but just treated him like an ordinary father.
"It's been five years, and my father has been looking forward to your return!" The emperor's eyes were full of love.
As soon as Shen Qianchen left, there was no news, he went from being anxious to being full of loss, and today he finally waited for him.
"I'm sorry father, Erchen knows your intentions, but Erchen doesn't want to live like this!" Shen Qianchen knew very well in his heart that he attached great importance to himself and his mother, and even gave his mother the position second only to the queen.
However, Shen Qianchen has always disliked being restrained.
"Emperor, since you were born, you have shouldered the responsibilities of the royal family!" His own son, how could he not know.
"Father, the sons love you very much, and they are willing to be with you often, but the sons don't like the life of the palace, please forgive your father!" Shen Qianchen knelt in front of him again.
Shen Qianchen understood his thoughts, so he always respected him, but he would not change his original intention because of this.
He has his own persistence, even if he loses everything, he will not hesitate to do it.
"I'm getting older, isn't the emperor still willing to accept his knees?" A hint of disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes.
He knew Shen Qianchen's ability too well, if he was determined to leave, no matter how many people he sent to find him, it would be useless.
Shen Qianchen knew how to disguise, as long as he left the palace, so when he changed his appearance, the guards would not recognize him at all.
For this reason, he left Qidu quietly five years ago, and no one found out his whereabouts.
"Father, the son already has a beloved woman, and I just want to spend my life with her!" Shen Qianchen made his position clear.
"Oh, the emperor actually has a woman who he longs for?" The emperor's eyes lit up, "Why don't you bring her this time and let your father take a look?" ”
"She's just an ordinary woman, and her son doesn't want to scare her!" Now the time is not ripe, Shen Qianchen doesn't want her to be in danger.
Nowadays, there are many people staring at the throne, if he brings Bai Linxia to Qidu, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of some people, and he doesn't want such a thing to happen.
"I don't mind who she is, I just want to see you all the time!" The emperor immediately expressed his attitude.
He has always hoped that Shen Qianchen can inherit his throne, so in order to keep him, he even did not hesitate to accept the woman he loved.
However, as the candidate for the prince in his mind, he will be more than one woman in the future.
Even if the identity of the woman he loves is not obvious, as long as he can inherit the throne, even if he wants that woman to be the crown princess, he will not refuse.
"Father, the son will not leave for the time being!" Shen Qianchen sensed what he meant from his eyes.
"Haha...... Father is very happy! A sincere smile appeared on the saint's face.
After so many years, he will no longer easily reveal his inner emotions, and he will only show his true heart when he is with the people he cares about.
When Shen Qianchen saw his smile, he felt helpless and distressed.
Others only see that being an emperor has supreme power, but they have no idea how much they have to lose to become a good emperor.
What he wants is just to live an ordinary life with the woman he loves, instead of sitting in that position and living for others all day long.
The emperor seems to have everything, but he rarely can do what he wants, and even his beloved woman can't protect him.
The battle of the harem has been the most dark and cruel since ancient times.
How many women have buried their lives in the palace, and so has his mother.
Back then, if someone hadn't framed them, their mother and son would not have been in the people.
However, it is precisely because of this experience that Shen Qianchen clearly knows what he wants.
Seven years ago, he was found out and became the envy of everyone, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, his father favored him, and even revealed his intention to pass on the throne to him.
Shen Qianchen was not happy at all, he wanted to return to that place with beautiful mountains and rivers and continue to be his country doctor, instead of becoming a prince......
After talking to the emperor, he stayed in the palace, and Shen Qianchen planned to stay here for a few days to accompany his father and mother.
On the other hand, since Shen Qianchen left, Bai Linxia handed over the business affairs to others to handle.
Because she didn't pay attention to the situation of business, she was accidentally taken advantage of.
Bai Linxia's restaurant received a fake silver ticket, but the shopkeeper didn't notice it in time, so he directly gave the fake silver ticket out.
After the guest receives the fake silver ticket, he immediately comes to the door to theorize.
The shopkeeper was so anxious about these things that he had to send someone to invite Bai Linxia to come over and preside over the overall situation.
After all, there had never been such a situation in the shop, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Bai Linxia is at home right now, and it is more appropriate to leave the matter of designing the money to her......
When she received the news, she immediately rushed to the shop.
"What the hell is a fake silver ticket?" Bai Linxia has been negligent in managing the shop in the past few days, and he didn't expect that such a serious thing would happen.
"I don't know what happened, today Wang Gongzi came to me with a silver ticket, saying that the silver ticket I found him was fake, I panicked for a while...... "The shopkeeper told me the ins and outs of the matter.
"I'm sorry Wang Gongzi, this matter is our negligence, I will compensate you twice the silver, do you think it's okay?" Bai Linxia didn't expect to receive a fake silver ticket in the restaurant.
However, now is not a good time to investigate the truth of the matter, Bai Linxia wants to solve the fake silver ticket and then investigate.
"Mrs. Shen really has integrity!" Wang Gongzi was also a regular customer of the restaurant and knew her character, so he quickly accepted her proposal.
After all, being able to get double the compensation is a good thing for him.
The food in the restaurant is always clean and very delicious, and he often comes to eat.
Although he was very angry about the fake silver ticket this time, he could see that the restaurant did not deliberately give him a fake silver ticket.
After all, Bai Linxia has always had a good reputation since he opened a restaurant in Yangzhou, and he never makes guests feel uncomfortable.
"Please also ask Lord Wang Gongzi to forgive us for our carelessness!" After Bai Linxia asked the shopkeeper to bring the silver, he immediately let him check it.
"I won't talk about today's incident to anyone else!" For Bai Linxia's sake, Wang Gongzi decided to make a big deal happen.
"Thank you, Prince Wang!" Bai Linxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This incident is obviously designed by someone behind it, and her negligence is the biggest culprit......
After the man received the compensation, he left satisfied.
"Boss, blame me for not being cautious enough for this!" The shopkeeper pleaded guilty to her.
"In the future, whenever you receive a silver ticket, you must carefully check it, if there is a next time, I will not spare it!" Bai Linxia glanced at him coldly and said.
"Yes, the little one will definitely work hard, and there will be no more such mistakes!" The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The business in the restaurant is very good, and he has to manage the restaurant, so he doesn't have much time to keep the cashier.
Bai Linxia deliberately found a bookkeeper to manage the restaurant's money every day.
When this kind of thing happened, Mr. Bookkeeper's negligence was even greater, and Bai Linxia did not drive him away, but deducted two months' bonus.
After encountering this incident, the shopkeeper and the work in the restaurant became more and more serious.
They knew that if there was a next time, Bai Linxia would definitely fire them......
Bai Linxia thought that the matter was over, but who knew that this was just the beginning.
A few days later, she was approached by a woman who often went to her shop to buy jewelry.
"Mrs. Ben has always trusted the things in your shop, so every month in your shop to buy new head noodles and other jewelry, in the past, your shop things are very good, not only with enough materials, but also the style is very beautiful, is the only one in Yangzhou!"
The other party is a noble lady, there is no shortage of silver at home, she is a regular customer of her jewelry shop, and she has always been generous.
Bai Linxia had some impressions of her, "Madam, what are you looking for me today?" ”
"This is the golden hairpin I bought and sold in your shop yesterday, and it turned out that its materials are very poor, and it is not made of gold at all!" The other party quickly said what he meant.
"No way, the jewelry in our shop has always been made of real money and silver, and it will never be faked!" Bai Linxia said with a serious face.
"Take a look at this golden hairpin for yourself, and you will know if I have wronged you!" The other party handed her the hairpin with a cold face.
Bai Linxia carefully inspected it and found that the bottom of the hairpin had the logo of her shop, and this hairpin was indeed sold in her shop.
However, the material of this hairpin is indeed very poor, the inside is made of iron at all, in order not to be seen, a layer of gold dust is deliberately plated on the outside.
Such hairpins look beautiful and realistic, but they are easy to spot.
Bai Linxia couldn't believe that this hairpin was really from her shop.
"I'm sorry madam, I don't know about this in Linxia, can I wait for me to investigate and give you an explanation?" Bai Linxia realized that things might not be simple, so he couldn't wait to find out the truth.
She didn't want this kind of cutting corners in her shop.
"Hmph, who knows if you really went to investigate, or if you deliberately covered up people's eyes and wanted to deliberately not compensate me for my losses!" The other party snorted coldly.
"I'm the owner of the shop, if something like this happens, how can I not compensate!" Bai Linxia rubbed his eyebrows and said.
"In that case, why don't you compensate me now?" The other party did not give up, and insisted that she compensate for the money for the hairpin now.
"I don't know the specific price of this hairpin, after I go to the shop to check, I will definitely make corresponding compensation, I am still doing business in these shops, I will never break my promise!" Bai Linxia looked at her calmly and said.
"Okay, I'll trust you for the time being, if you dare to play tricks, I will never let you go!" After the other party dropped a sentence, she immediately asked someone to send her to her jewelry shop.
Bai Linxia took the hairpin and went directly to the jewelry store to check the situation......
