Chapter 119: Contempt
Chef Cao didn't expect this proprietor to know him, but then he thought that he might have come to Tianxianglou for dinner, so he knew him, and kept rubbing his hands together and said:
"Boss, I apologize to you on behalf of my cousin, he ...... He actually ...... this morning"
Xia Li understood what this person meant: "You are you, he is him, you don't have to mix up with him, so you don't have to feel sorry"
Chef Cao didn't expect the female owner to be very open-minded, and said there: "Then thank you, the owner, I'm going to work."
Xia Li listened to it here for a while, but he didn't hear the meaning of this person leaving, and saw that this person walked there like this: "Wait for Chef Cao"
Chef Cao stopped again, and said, "The owner still has something to do."
Xia Li looked at this person's honest and honest face, and said there: "I want to tell you that your salary will rise by two taels of silver from this month, and I will give you some bonuses as encouragement after the end of the year."
Chef Cao didn't expect such a good thing, and he was glad that he didn't leave, and now he has an extra two taels of silver a month, which is enough for an old snack to drink.
I was so excited that I didn't know what to say to show my mood.
Xia Li said there: "In the future, Chef Cao will still work hard as before."
"Certainly, definitely, the proprietor is assured"
Xia Li saw that this person was excited and incoherent, and he no longer listened to this person's kind words, so he let this person go.
Xia Li asked Chu Han to find the closest person to contact with the shopkeeper Cao, and asked for the account book left by the shopkeeper Cao and other daily expenses books required by Tianxianglou, and when Chu Han found these things, she ordered the silver to open the lock and take it out, and several people laughed the moment they saw the things.
Anyway, the first step of taking over Tianxianglou was successfully completed.
When it was time for lunch, Xia Li, Chu Han, and Yinzi sat in the lobby and saw the endless stream of guests as usual, and their hearts were finally at ease.
Tianxianglou did not have a slight decrease in guests because of the departure of the shopkeeper Cao, on the contrary, there were more people who came to eat today than every day.
What made her most angry was that Xia Fei and Nan Mingyi also led a group of people here.
She didn't believe that the shopkeeper Cao Da left the Xia Mansion, and Li Honglian would not know about it, with her ability, she knew everything about the turmoil in the capital, and it was impossible not to know that the shopkeeper Cao Da had escaped in the middle of the night.
When a few people entered the house, Xia Fei said first: "Oh, isn't this my cousin?" Why are you here! I haven't seen anyone at home for the past few days, where are you? ”
Xia Li knew that this person was asking knowingly, so he didn't bother to pay attention to this person, turned around and walked away to sit elsewhere.
Xia Fei saw that this dead girl didn't reply and left, he was so angry that he didn't know what to do, he wanted to do it but was afraid of people laughing, he couldn't stand it if he didn't do it, and he endured it for a long time and said: "Cousin, you are still angry!" What's so angry about the family? ”
Xia Li still didn't reply or make a sound.
Nan Ming on the side wanted to come to Xia Li to speak early in the morning, but at this time, Xia Li couldn't say anything: "What's wrong with you, Li'er, did you suffer any grievances at home?" ”
Xia Li didn't want to go back to Xia Fei because he didn't want to have any more contact with the people in the Xia Mansion house, she had no grudge against Nan Mingyi, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her brother because of her own affairs, so she said: "No, nothing"
Simple and clear words, she had to reply to this person, she believed that this person could hear clearly.
Nan Ming frowned when he heard it, although he didn't like him very much when he knew that the girl in front of him before, but he was sure that she would change her opinion of him after the two of them made a marriage, and now that he was not engaged to her, it was not good to say too deeply, so he had to say there:
"If you have any grievances, you can find me, I can help you solve them"
Xia Li said there: "No, thank you" She said these words with a straight face, and she didn't want the people in front of her to have any misunderstanding.
Nan Mingyi wanted to say something more, Xia Fei said there: "People don't want to pay attention to you, you still have a hot face to stick to other people's cold butts, Nan Mingyi, are you sick?"
He was joking, but he didn't expect Nan Ming to say anxiously when he heard it: "I like me, I am happy, can you control it?" ”
"You ......" Xia Fei was stunned, he didn't expect Nan Ming to be anxious, he wanted to get angry but was afraid that this person would not be used to him, he was silent and aggrieved, the two were secretly competing, and the other sons and brothers on the side hurriedly coordinated, and got the two of them to sit in the unit where several people frequented.
Xia Li didn't know if a few people could stop, just let Xiao Er talk less and do more things, and if there was anything embarrassing, just call her directly.
Xiao Er obediently did so, and when he entered the house, he had to serve these distinguished guests.
Yinzi said there: "I can't wait for these people, I won't go for a while, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help but kill them."
Xia Li said there: "Can you live a normal life, don't kill people at every turn, these are what you should experience, don't you want to try?" ”
Yinzi thought for a while and said, "I don't want to try it yet, I'll talk about it when I want to try."
Xia Li didn't force him, and said there: "Think about it yourself!" I won't force you."
"Good"
The two reached a consensus and no longer dwelled on this issue.
But it didn't take long for the sound of beating and scolding from upstairs.
When Xia Li heard this, he guessed that Xia Fei must have caused trouble here.
She hurriedly went upstairs to find Xia Fei punching and kicking the little guy.
"Stop" she was angry, in order to stop this person from beating people, she swung her palm at this person, and Xia Fei was slapped and lay on the ground.
Pointing at Xia Li, he said, "You dead girl dare to beat me"
Xia Li said there: "Who saw me beating you, obviously you were sitting on the ground by yourself, but I saw you beating people here, how did you learn to beat people after being ordered by the emperor to become an official?" Is this how the emperor taught you courtiers? If that's the case, then I have to ask the emperor whether he ordered you to beat people or for the benefit of the people. ”
Xia Fei was embarrassed when he heard it, and said there: "Now it's beating people, what does it have to do with the emperor, you don't have to be alarmist there"
Xia Li said there: "Do I have it, everyone can watch it!" Didn't you notice that now everyone is looking at you, a young man, and he is beating people, and people are still beating people, what's the matter? It seems that you don't want political achievements."
Xia Fei had forgotten about it a long time ago because he was angry, and now he wanted to look at the people around him, and found that all the people were indeed looking outside the door.
He yelled angrily: "Whatever you see, I'll go back for you"
Xia Li continued: "Who do you think you are, the emperor? Is the word a holy decree? If you want people to go back, go back."
This is both unreasonable and a little unbearable, because no one dares to challenge the majesty of the imperial power, let alone have the slightest disrespect for the emperor in his words.
Xia Li's words are something that no one dares to say, but he says something that makes people feel weak and can't refute it.
