Luo Weitao was about to get angry, but Luo Qian hurriedly said: "Dad, my mother's temper, my cousin knows best." If she went to apologize, it wouldn't be like it. Besides, after all, it's my cousin who backtracked and wanted to climb the high branches, and they were still talking about us behind our backs. If we put our posture too low, we will be looked down upon. Why don't you go alone? ”

Luo Weitao thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll go alone." With that, he went out the door.

Luo Qian thought about Luo Weitao's temper, I was afraid that if he was so angry, he wouldn't come over to pay attention to their mother and son for three or five days, let alone send someone over to tell them whether they persuaded the Shen family.

He turned his head to look at Mrs. Luo, who was wringing her handkerchief, sighed secretly, and instructed Mrs. Luo's housekeeper, "Send someone to follow the master to the guest house, and come over there to report any situation in time." ”

The housekeeper was Mrs. Luo's companion, and she followed Mrs. Luo just now and saw everything in her eyes, and she also knew the seriousness of the matter, so she didn't dare to slack off, so she promised to follow Luo Weitao in person.

After about a meal, she came back and said, "Just as the son expected, the master persuaded a few words, and Master Shen agreed not to leave." This time, the old man is drinking with the old man Shen. ”

Mrs. Luo relieved her heart and instructed Luo Qian: "You can go out and show your face in a while." It is I who offend people, and they themselves have faults, and they will not embarrass you. ”

Luo Qian responded, stood up and said, "Mother, you are also tired, rest for a while, I'll go first." ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Luo waved her hand.

Luo Qian came out of the main courtyard and stood at the fork in the road for a while, but did not go to the guest courtyard, but went back to the front study.

"Look at what Steward Yu is doing, if you have time. Tell him to come over. He commanded Leshui.

After a while, Steward Yu hurriedly entered the study and saluted Luo Qian: "Childe, are you looking for a villain?" ”

Luo Qian was sitting behind the bookcase at this time, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were looking away, not knowing what he was thinking.

See the housekeeper come in. He put down the book. He hesitated, but did not speak.

Seeing this, the housekeeper didn't dare to make a sound. Stood there silently, motionless.

After a while, Luo Qian asked, "When will the restaurant of the Cen family open?" ”

Steward Yu said in his heart: "Sure enough."

He is an old man, and he has had a lot of contact with Xia Qi and Xia Jin. He has long had doubts about the different styles of "Xia Gongzi" and the abnormality of the appearance time.

Although Xia Qi has changed a lot under Xia Jin's tutelage. But in the eyes of the housekeeper, who is well-informed and has read countless people, he always has a kind of small family spirit limited by the unique youth and background knowledge of this age.

Xia Jin is different, the kind of indifference and grandeur from the inside out, even Cen Ziman, the lady of Houfu, can't compare. Not to mention. Her eyes are calm and wise, and she can see through people's hearts. Touched a lot, even if it didn't speak. Just from the eyes of the housekeeper, you can tell which is Xia Qi and which is Xia Jin.

For this. Steward Yu also took the trouble to get to know the Xia family, and knew that there were only two children, Xia Qi and Xia Jin, in the third room of the Xia family. The two are twin brothers and sisters, the same age, the same height, and even their appearance is eight or nine points similar. After meeting Xia Jin in women's clothes, he had already decided in his heart to open a dim sum shop with his son-in-law, and now he was planning to open a restaurant with Miss Cen that it was Xia Jin, the girl of the Xia family, not Xia Qi, the young master of the Xia family.

Thinking about it, the young master of the Xia family is dedicated to learning, studying poetry and books wholeheartedly, and preparing for the children's exam, how can he have the time and energy to do anything? Even if he wanted to do this, the lord and wife of the Xia family would not allow it.

Steward Yu has only not figured out whether it was the young master of the Xia family or the girl of the Xia family who treated his son-in-law at the beginning.

However, judging from his son-in-law's recent mood swings, he is obviously in love with Miss Xia.

Thinking so, he replied respectfully: "It was originally scheduled to open on the twenty-fifth of this month, but I didn't hear that Xia Gongzi said that it would be rescheduled. However, Miss Cen and Su Gongzi left suddenly, maybe this opening date will change. The villain asked people to pay attention, and if there was any change, they would report to the son. ”

"How's the preparation going over there during this time?" Luo Qian asked again.

Butler Yu: Don't you know how well you are prepared? You know what's going on over there.

However, he didn't show any silence on his face, and he still looked respectful: "There are no major changes in the restaurant, and Xia Gongzi didn't send anyone to clean it up." She rented a yard near Huafang Street, moved the three cooks she bought back from the provincial capital, and built three kitchens. Speaking of which, this Xia Gongzi is really courageous, how expensive the yard near Huafang Street is, her restaurant hasn't made money yet, she is willing to spend such a large sum of silver. ”

Butler Yu showed a look of admiration on his face: "But Xia Gongzi's restaurant will definitely have a prosperous business after it opens." Childe, you didn't see it, the dishes that Xia Gongzi instructed them to make are not ordinary, although the ingredients are average, the taste is very good, and some of them also add medicinal materials, which have a nourishing effect. The villain really couldn't imagine that Xia Gongzi was so young and came from that kind of family that he could guide people to make such unique and delicious dishes. ”

Luo Qian nodded: "Since her master is a strange person, with extraordinary background, and is still a woman, it is not strange to pass on her a few cooking skills." ”

Steward Yu agreed: "That's right." He sighed again, "It's a pity that this restaurant is not in partnership with us." hasn't opened yet, just by tasting the dishes made by those chefs, and then thinking about Xia Gongzi's magic marketing methods, you can imagine how hot the business of this restaurant is. ”

"Don't be too greedy for anything." Luo Qian said, "When Xia Gongzi opened Zhiwei Zhai, I just wanted to help him and lend him some silver taels. He didn't say anything at the time, but after making money, it was considered my shareholding, which was already very benevolent and righteous, and we couldn't get Long Wangshu, we were too greedy. What's more, the restaurant was opened by Miss Cen and Miss Xia, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Xia, and it is impossible to get involved with us. ”

"Yes." Steward Yu hurriedly responded, but in his heart, he slandered: Miss Xia is Gongzi Xia, you can't help me.

"You're paying attention to him on his side, and if there's any difficulty, reach out and help." Luo Qian said again.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll read the book for a while, you can go out."

Steward Yu stood there for a long time without moving, his face full of confusion.

"What's wrong? Anything else? Luo Qian looked at him like this and asked strangely.

Steward Yu gritted his teeth, his expression was like a warrior going to the battlefield: "Childe, the villain has something to say." ”

Luo Qian glanced at him: "Speak." ”

Originally, the villain shouldn't have intervened in this matter, but although the villain is a subordinate, he also watched the son grow up and was dedicated to the good of the son. There are some things that I can't help but say. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Steward Yu raised his head and looked directly at Luo Qian: "The villain wants to know why the son is unwilling to marry the Shen family." Needless to say, Childe should also know that marrying the Shen family is very beneficial to Childe. ”

Luo Qian's face sank, and he said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this matter." ”

"Why don't you worry about the villain?" Steward Yu became excited, "If the son is good, the lady can be good, and those of us who follow the lady and the son can be good." The villain doesn't want to watch Childe go astray. Summer...... No matter how capable Miss Xia is, she can only make some money, and she can't help her son in her career. The Shen family is different, Master Shen is now going to serve in the Ministry of Officials. As long as the son is promoted in the examination, he will not worry about having no official position. In one sentence, he made Gongzi struggle alone for ten years. Childe took the Jinshi exam, and with him by his side, Childe's future is a smooth road. Loyal to the ear, the villain knows that the son can't listen to these words, and according to the villain's identity, he is not qualified to say these things to the son. But...... But the villain just couldn't help but want to say. ”

He "banged", knelt on the ground, bowed his head and arched his hands: "The villain said something that shouldn't be said, and ask the son to punish him." ”

Luo Qian stared at him, his gaze was sharp, as if he could kill people.

After a while, he retracted his gaze and said lightly, "You go out." ”

"Childe ......" Butler Yu raised his head and looked at Luo Qian, wondering if he was moved by his words, and even more wanted to know if he had made Childe annoyed.

Luo Qian patted the case: "Go out." ”

Butler Yu gritted his teeth and said again: "If the son likes Miss Xia, he can accept her as a concubine, and he doesn't need to lose his future for the sake of a woman." After saying that, "Dong Dong" kowtowed twice, and then turned around and went out.

But after going out, he didn't dare to leave like this, but stood under the porch, waiting for Luo Qian to come out and deal with him after he was angry.

Leshui, who was standing under the porch, saw that Steward Yu was also standing like this with him, and couldn't help but look sideways, not understanding what was going on.

How could Steward Yu be in the mood to explain to him? He only stood silently, and began to feel apprehensive in his heart—he didn't feel anything when he said it, but now that he thinks about it, he is a little afraid. If the prince no longer likes him, the lady appoints to replace him from the position of butler. When the time comes, there may be many people in this house who want to step on him. Over the years, in order to protect his wife and son, he has offended many people.

After standing like this for a while, the curtain of the study was suddenly lifted, and Luo Qian walked out of it. He didn't look at the housekeeper and Leshui, so he went straight down the steps and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Le Shui was stunned for a moment, glanced at Steward Yu, and hurriedly followed behind Luo Qian.

"Go and get the car." When Luo Qian stepped out of the hospital, he suddenly spoke.

"Yes." Leshui hurriedly crossed Luo Qian and trotted to the door to call someone to prepare the car.

As soon as he prepared the car, Luo Qian walked to the gate and got into the carriage.

Leshui sat on the wheel and waited for a while, and didn't see Luo Qian say where he was going for a while, so he couldn't help asking, "Childe, where is the carriage going?" ”

"Go to Huafang Street." Luo Qian's voice came from the carriage. (To be continued)
