Chapter 69: Calculation

Zhou Yu looked down at the note in his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The old lady wants to use him as a whetstone.

Sharpen the knife of the princess.

Zhou Yu's gaze moved to the door to the right of the diners.

There is only one quotation on the gate on the right:

【Food Award Tickets: 521】

Fifty taels, which is almost a month's salary for him.

The survey is sky-high!

But even with such sky-high prices, there is still an endless stream of customers who come to sign up for a reserved place, so much so that tickets are now sold in limited quantities every day: 300 tickets per day.

A time limit has also been added: each ticket is limited to two hours of meal time.

However, even with the time limit, the number of customers who came to buy tickets only increased.

There is no way, although the door is closed and closed to the public, there is white smoke hovering over the diners every day.

And with the white smoke, there is a rich aroma, caught in the wind, wafting all over half of Kyoto, and the hearts and lungs of greedy people are shouting - this kind of taste that is only given to smell but not eaten is the most torturous!

No matter what the stamina of the food awards is, this first wave of dividends alone can make diners several times fatter.

Tianxianglou was already in a weak position in front of the diners, and now the diners are doing it again...... It is equivalent to stepping on the door of Tianxiang Building.

Not to mention turning over, whether it can continue to survive is a question.

Want to beat the diners in three months?

It's a dream.

He wanted to open his eyes and take a good look, and see how the princess would lead them to win this turnaround battle within three months.

Thinking about Shen Lexi's deflated situation three months later, the feeling of aggrieved in Zhou Yu's heart that was compared to a woman in a deep house magically disappeared, a sneer flashed in the narrow fox eyes, and he flicked his sleeves and returned to Tianxiang Building.

The days passed slowly in the tempting aroma, and Shen Lexi, who had been punished for kneeling for three days, finally walked out of the Ning ancestral hall.

The red heart was waiting outside the ancestral hall early in the morning, and as soon as the door opened, the little maid hurriedly greeted her, pulled Shen Lexi up and down, back and forth, checked it over and over again, and found that except for the fact that the princess had not changed her dress for a few days, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

There is no imaginary hungry face yellow muscle thin.

I didn't look tired as I imagined.

On the contrary, the princess of her family was ruddy-faced, energetic, and energetic, not like she was punished for kneeling for three days, but more like being locked up in the ancestral hall for three days of careful recuperation.

The little maid looked at it with a circled face, and forgot all her tears, Shen Lexi looked funny, snapped her fingers in her ear, and whispered something, and the little maid suddenly realized-

It turns out that the prince has been secretly taking care of the princess in the past few days, no wonder the princess is in such good spirits!

The heart that had been hanging for several days finally landed, and suddenly remembered something again, and said with annoyance: "Oh, I knew that I wouldn't clean up Qingzhu Courtyard." ”

In the past few days when Shen Lexi was confined, the little maid cleaned up the Qingzhu Courtyard inside and out, although it was not as generous as Wuyuan, but it was also cleaned up, and the pillows and bedding were all replaced with new ones.

Some furniture was also added.

The master and servant are rich now, and they are no longer like before, and a copper plate can't be broken in half to spend.

The current Qingzhu Courtyard, in Shen Lexi's opinion, is nothing bad except for the remote location.

Behind the courtyard is a large bamboo forest, and there is a natural pond in front of the left side of the courtyard entrance, which is not much smaller than the artificial lotus pond specially dug out in front of the old lady's door.

The difference between the two ponds is only that: the lotus pond in front of the old lady's door is taken care of by a special person and has ornamental properties;

The pond on this side of Qingzhuyuan is a pond in the pure sense, and its function is to store rainwater, in case of drought or something, the rainwater stored in the pond can be used to irrigate the bamboo forest behind.

And the bamboo forest is behind the Qingzhu Courtyard - the Qingzhu Courtyard used to be prepared for the people who took care of the bamboo forest, and then there were a few other rooms in the bamboo forest, and the Qingzhu Courtyard was empty, and then Miss Shen married into the Guogong Mansion, so these rooms were temporarily hung with the sign of the Qingzhu Courtyard and given to Miss Shen to live.

- It can be seen that Miss Shen, the princess of the world, has been too miserable.

But money can make the devil grind.

After the current Qingzhu Courtyard has been picked up inside and outside the red peach, on the whole, the living comfort has soared, and it is even more advanced than the old lady's Xihe Garden - not to mention anything else, the quiet part alone is not comparable to the old lady's Xihe Garden.

And this is exactly what Shen Lexi needs—as a half-way monk, a quiet environment is the blessed land she needs most.

She patted Hearts on the shoulder and said approvingly, "You've cleaned up well." Why do you still look annoyed? ”

"But what a waste of money." Red Peach said, "Look, the princess cares about you so much, in a few days, he will definitely beg the old lady to let you move back to Luwuyuan to live...... Won't we be able to use this Qingzhu Courtyard? ”

The little maid looked annoyed that the silver flower had been lost, and Shen Lexi, who saw it, was speechless for a while, hesitated for a while, and comforted her: "Within three months, no matter how much the prince begs the old lady, the old lady will never agree to let me move back to Luwuyuan, because this is also one of the punishments that the old lady has given me." ”

"Huh?" Red Hearts was shocked, "Princess Shizi, are we going to be in Qingzhu Courtyard for three months for so long?" What about the prince's side? ”

She is still looking forward to the princess being able to conceive a little princess in one go, but now she is going to be separated for three months...... The little relationship that the prince and the princess have so easily saved must not fade into water!

The little maid looked sad, and several strands of hair were fell.

Seeing the little girl like this, Shen Lexi couldn't bear to continue pouring cold water.

Not to mention that it has only been three months, in fact, before she left the Guogong Mansion, she was afraid that she would have to live in this Qingzhu Courtyard all the time, and it was basically impossible to live in Ning Xian's Wuyuan again.

These days, the old lady has lifted her to a high enough height to complete the process of killing her.

The next game is thrashing - the tougher she is beaten, the better the furnace will work.

Yes, Furnace Ding.

She is not only Ning Xian's spare funeral lady, but she is also Ning Xian's cultivation furnace ding-

The affectionate and widowed old lady, who didn't know which magic stick she had given her guidance, actually believed that her precious grandson's cultivation had been stagnant because she needed a woman born in the lunar year, the moon, and the sun to be the furnace's nonsense.

In the whole of Kyoto and even the entire East Hall, only the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Bofu meets this requirement.

So this is the matter of last year's autumn banquet.

Without the secret help of the old lady, the Shen family brothers and sisters couldn't even enter the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Miss Shen didn't have the ability to climb onto the bed of Ning Xian, the prince of Dingguo.

It is not so much that the Shen family brothers and sisters calculated Ning Xian, but that the old lady calculated the Shen family brothers and sisters.

In fact, in the whole incident, the Shen family's brothers and sisters, Ning Xian, including the Duchess of Dingguo, the Jiang family, and even the emperor of the lord of a country, were all part of the old lady's calculations.

The ambition of his heart, the depth, and the poison of his ...... It's terrifying!

What's even more terrifying is that this old lady is old and sophisticated, not only does the articles on her face make people unable to find a single flaw, but even her psychological activities are controlled freely, which is very deceptive.

What a bullshit mascot, that's just a trick played by the old lady.

As Ning Xian's furnace ding, in addition to being born in the lunar year, the lunar month, and the cloudy day, there must also be a condition: the Buddha dreams.

This is also the reason why Miss Shen was carried into the Guogong Mansion but was thrown in the corner and ignored - because the conditions were not all right.

The old lady is waiting.

Until the last sutra incident happened.

Therefore, in that Buddhist scripture incident, Shen Lexi thought that she had done it skillfully, and she was complacent about it, but she didn't know that she was digging her own grave at all.

As long as she doesn't make up the lie that "the Buddha is dreaming", her life in the house will only be more difficult, but she will not be labeled as a furnace.

And now...... Now her only way to escape is to make herself stronger.

Strong enough to compete with the old lady.

and the entire state government.

She, a weak ant, wants to bite an elephant as strong as a mountain...... Shen Lexi exhaled the turbid air vigorously, collected his thoughts, and instructed the little maid: "Red hearts, go get some hot water, I want to bathe, and the diners will come in a while." ”

Today is the first day of the Food Awards, and she has to go to see how her chosen comrades are fighting.

After washing off the dirt that had accumulated on his body for three days and changing into clean clothes, Shen Lexi took his little maid and went straight to the diners.

After the master and servant left, two figures appeared from the shadows, one ran to the Xihe Garden where the old lady lived, and the other ran to the Wuyuan where Ning Xian lived.

The old lady only nodded faintly to indicate that she understood.

Ning Xian frowned.

Somehow, when he heard that Shen Lexi was going to the diners, a picture uncontrollably appeared in Ning Xian's mind: young men and women in red clothes, standing side by side looking at each other and smiling, like a couple of newcomers full of infinite longing for the future.

This picture pierced Ning Xian's eyes.

He put away his sword and suddenly asked the little guy who came to talk back: "What color clothes did the princess wear when she went out today?" ”

"Huh?" The little guy was stunned, probably didn't expect the prince to ask this question, until a sharp sword wind passed against the bridge of his nose, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied, "The princess is wearing a cyan Luo skirt today." ”

Cyan.

OK.

Chu Yunzhan likes to wear red.

Ning Xian motioned for the little guy to step back and continued to practice swordsmanship by himself.

The poison in the body, the system can help him solve it, but the physical deficiency caused by poisoning over the years still has to be made up by himself, so during this time, in addition to making adjustments in his diet, he also began to gradually strengthen physical training.

Now his daily training time has been extended from the initial half hour to the current two hours.

But at this moment, he somehow couldn't calm down, and the picture of Shen Lexi in red and Chu Yunzhan in red always appeared in front of him.

Although the two are only nominal husband and wife now, the nominal husband and wife are also husband and wife, so don't women know how to avoid suspicion?

What does a married woman look like when she talks and laughs with a young man?

Shameless!

Ning Xian couldn't practice anymore, put the sword back into the sheath, went back to the room to change clothes, and was about to put on the Erniu mask with a dull complexion and sparse eyebrows, when the words that Shen Lexi had said that day suddenly sounded in his ears-

- I fell in love with my husband at first sight, and I only want to win his heart, and the white head will not be separated.

…… Since the woman was so affectionate to him, how could he, the husband, fail her?

Such a beautiful relationship should be shown.

It is not advisable to hide deeply.

The prince hooked his lips and smiled, put the Erniu version of the mask back in its place, and raised his feet to the diners.
