Chapter 421: Summer Business
() "I, I, I ......" Kashiwa stammered completely.
All of this is obviously in their careful planning, why did they sleep and change people?
"I'll go to Du Jue and ask for an understanding!" Bai Sheng finally woke up from his surprise and said hatefully.
"Go and bring him, I'll ask myself!" Chu Tie blushed and let go of Bai Sheng.
"Yes!" As if he had been pardoned, Bai Sheng ran away as fast as he could.
"Lord Wang......" Du Mei curled up in a ball on the bed, screaming in fear.
"Go and send water to bathe!" Chu glared at her and said angrily.
Du Mei hurriedly put on his coat, opened the door a crack, and whispered to the girl Qiao'er he brought, and the maid waiting outside the door penetrated in, and the room was suddenly filled with a faint vapor.
It didn't take long for Bai Sheng to twist Du Jue with a roar, and Du Jue begged for mercy all the way, but he refused to admit that he had married the wrong daughter.
"Do you know that you are guilty of the capital crime of deceit!" Chu, who had a gloomy face, sat behind the big case in the study and said majestically.
"Virtuous son-in-law, what did Mei'er do wrong?" Du Jue rolled his eyes, and he was afraid that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.
"What I want is Du Mei, what are you giving me!" Chu slapped the desk suddenly, and the tea cup on the desk jumped suddenly.
"It's Du Mei, I only have the eldest son Du Jiang, the second daughter Du Yue, and the third daughter Du Mei, and the holy decree is my third daughter." Du Jue pretended to be stupid and stunned, looking at a loss.
At the beginning, Murong Xi ordered someone to put a knife on his neck, and said that if he dared not retreat, he would kill their family immediately, and in addition, he also implicitly supported him to marry his third daughter to the king of Shu. As long as he insists that Du Mei is Du Mei, if he gets a son and a half daughter in the future, it will be the side concubine of the Shu Palace, how can such a good thing be cheap for outsiders!
Standing in front of the furious Chu, Du Jue is not afraid, although they are the same age, but Chu is the prince after all, killing him is easier than stepping on an ant, but Murong Xi is right, wealth and wealth are in danger, as long as he survives the level of stealing the sky, he is the old man of the king of Shu, and there will naturally be a good career waiting for him at that time.
"What I want is Du Mei from Dujiagou, where did you hide her!" Chu decided that Du Jue was playing tricks on him, and stood up from behind the big case, exuding a murderous aura all over his body, approaching step by step.
"What Dujiagou Wangjiagou, I don't know, the holy decree clearly says that it is the third daughter of my family, could it be that the prince of Shu played with the innocence of my daughter, and wants to climb another branch, if so, I am fighting for this old life, and I will also sue the Jinluan Palace, and ask the emperor to cut it." Du Jue's heart was horizontal, and he yelled at his neck without fear of death.
Du Jue is gambling, gambling with the lives of the family of five Chu does not dare to disobey the holy order, this lowly marriage is his own request, and then he regrets that he married the wrong person, is he trying to blame the emperor for the wrong holy decree!
"Okay, good, you've got it!" The holy decree was indeed a tight mantra, Chu stood up, and said hatefully.
Although Du Jue is only the county magistrate of Qinghe County, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has just married him, if he dies at this time, it will inevitably cause a joint condemnation from people who are not on good terms with him, which will be unfavorable to him.
If it is said that marrying the wrong person, it will definitely lead to the matter of household registration documents, and the household department is doing a triennial household registration revision, and Qian Yiju will not admit to changing Du Mei's household registration.
Thinking about it repeatedly, this matter is staggered, and he can't justify himself, no matter how angry Chu is, he still has the last trace of reason, at this time he and Du Mei cooked rice, but Du Mei was like a slippery fish, quietly from his hand
Slipped away silently, and it was all irretrievable!
"Bai Sheng, send off!" Chu Er was angry and waved his hand to drive people away.
"Let's go, get out!" Bai Sheng pushed and shoved Du Jue out.
Standing outside the high courtyard wall, he stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, stretched his neck to look, but he couldn't see anything, he could only say silently in his heart: "Good girl, take care of yourself!" ”
"Master! Do you want the woman in the room to ......" Bai Sheng's eyes were red and he made a motion to wipe his neck.
When Chu Wenyan heard this, he suddenly remembered last night's warm fragrant nephrite and the beautiful room, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Leave her alone, a woman can still turn the sky upside down, you go and find out, what went wrong!" ”
"Yes! Subordinates will do it! Bai Sheng hurried away.
Chu collapsed on the chair in a dejected manner, he had calculated for so long, and he was actually countercalculated, I am afraid that it is not just Du Mei's life.
Why is Du Mei's name not written on the holy decree, but only Du Jue's three daughters, and why is it that the Beijing tabloids report everything in detail every day and in a high-profile manner, attracting the attention of the entire capital, so that he is now difficult to ride a tiger and swallow the bitter fruit by himself, is this just so simple as the emperor's gift?
Thinking about it carefully at this time, Chu Lin and Murong Xi will inevitably be unable to escape the blame, and this hatred, he will inevitably repay it in the future! Thinking of this, Chu slammed his fist on the desk in annoyance.
After a long time, Bai Sheng came back in a hurry.
"How?" Chu was still sitting in the study, he raised his eyes and looked at Bai Sheng's expression, he already knew the result in his heart, but he asked with a hint of luck.
"Qian Yi probably knows something, this time he took advantage of the revision of the household registration to change all the officials under him, and the person we bought out can no longer enter the archive." Bai Sheng said dejectedly.
"I know, in this way, Dujiagou's household registration must also be changed, their actions are so fast!" Chu narrowed his eyes, releasing a dangerous aura.
"They? Nine Princes and Murong Xi? They ...... yesterday," Bai Sheng opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
"It's a pity that they don't do good things!" Chu clenched his back molars and clenched his fists, his joints turned white.
"We can't just swallow this breath! Lord, please command! Bai Sheng suddenly knelt down on one knee and bowed his head in obedience.
"If they dare to do this, they will keep their hands behind, this is the cusp of the storm, we must avoid its edge for the time being, and act in the future!" Chu waved his hand, this dumb loss, he won't eat it in vain!
"The subordinates are ineffective, please punish the prince!" Bai Sheng didn't dare to get up, still kneeling.
"And keep you outside, if you break a little skin, won't it become their heart to watch the excitement!" Chu got up and brushed his sleeves away.
Bai Sheng stood up and silently followed him.
"I'm going to rest in Cuihui Courtyard this month, you send a few more mothers-in-law and girls to serve them, and there must be no negligence!" Chu Shen commanded.
"This ......" Bai Sheng puzzled, this impostor, does he still have to hold it to the sky?
"Know that a woman's jealousy is better than your sword!" Chu raised his eyebrows, his eyes dark.
He only has a pair of children, all of whom were born to his wife Zhang Yun'er, and the other concubines in the house have nothing to do over the years, not that he is useless, but once a child is born, the existing balance will be broken, the princess has died, and whoever has a son and a half daughter by his side will be promoted, which is something that no one wants but does not want.
The palace of Shu has been calm and comfortable for all these years, and suddenly a young woman who is given by the emperor, favored by the prince, and beautiful as a flower, and women in the backyard appeared
How can you give up, I'm afraid I'm already ready to move.
I have to say that Chu's trick of pampering and killing is really a clever trick, he picked himself up early and clean, and if something happens at that time, he will have those old and decrepit stupid women in the backyard to take the blame.
But he underestimated Du Mei, a girl who was born in the countryside and grew up watching her mother and aunt compete for power and love since she was a child. In just one month, she used a booklet given to her by her mother that made people blush and heartbeat, firmly entangled Chu, and used the reward given by Chu to buy off all the mothers-in-law and girls in the house.
Those old women in the backyard didn't use tricks, but she got the news early, either avoided it, or was blocked back by her, and sometimes even let those people suffer the consequences!
Chu didn't expect Du Mei to be so able to toss, not only did he have nothing to do, but also stirred up his backyard into a miasma, more than a month later, when he wanted to deal with this trouble with his own hands, the trouble really came, Du Mei was happy!
The summer days are long, and it is getting hot day by day, knowing the noise, the summer heat is pressing, and the Shu Wangfu can't stop for a while, but the business of Mei Ji Restaurant is gradually weakening.
Since that day, Du Mei invited Song Shaohuai, Chu Lin and Murong Xi to a duck banquet in the Drunken Immortal Building, the gambling contract was automatically invalidated, and the Drunken Immortal Mansion resumed opening on the second day.
After this incident, Du Mei can be regarded as completely figured out, no matter what her attitude is, Chu Lin and Murong Xi will not give up ignoring her, rather than because of her resistance, everyone is awkward, it is better to be friends openly and honestly, so that they are more comfortable, in this way, Chu Lin and Murong Xi occasionally have leisure, and they will also come to Mei Ji to sit down.
At this time, it was the scorching heat of June, and the heat wave was rolling outside, and the people on the street were running fast, almost running, for fear of slowing down and burning their feet.
Dumeto sat behind the counter and looked at the few tables in the front hall worried.
A thick curtain was hung in front of the door, but the heat outside was still everywhere, and after the kitchen stewed and simmered, the ice cubes in the blue and white vat melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sink at the bottom of the vat was about to fill again.
This year's summer is especially hot, some small restaurants on the street have no business, and they have to spend a lot of money to buy ice, they are quietly closed, these ice in Mei Ji are all Ye Dan and Murong Xi thought to get, but these melted are a lot of money, this time, the restaurant for a day's income, even can't afford to pay for ice, but there is no ice, not to mention that the guests can't sit still and eat, even the kitchen can't afford to cook.
At this time, Du Mei deeply understood what Dong Chang said at the beginning, business is difficult in the summer, not only does he not make money, but he also has to make a lot of money.
A few days ago, she did make a lot of money, but after the summer, the expenses of the two restaurants, I am afraid that those who earn will have to lose it, so that everyone's tired work will become in vain.
Du Mei is the big shopkeeper, and she looks at her up and down for more than 20 mouths, she thinks about it day and night, and thinks about it.
"Shopkeeper, check out!" A well-dressed young man slapped a silver ingot on the counter.
"This son, I've been here for a few days, and the food is still to your taste?" Du Mei looked at the menu, there were only two stir-fried dishes, and hurriedly handed the silver to Lin Dai for change, and talked to him by himself.
"It's hot, the cook at home is lazy, and the dishes are like pig food, although your dish is good, it's just a round trip to the hot sweat, you say, you have money and want to eat a good meal, why is it so difficult!" The young man took the broken silver, gritted his teeth, lifted the curtain, and walked out into the bright sun.
"Wow, I've figured it out!" After listening to his words, Du Mei suddenly felt blessed in his heart, and a thought came to him!
