Chapter 503: Challenging
Chapter 503 Challenge
As soon as Lin Jinxiao arrived in the garden, he heard dissatisfied complaints from the pavilion next to the artificial pool: "This man surnamed Chu is a disgusting person, and that restaurant is the main place for hospitality, and he placed us here. "
Looking at the arrogant and rude Lin Jinqian, Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan was speechless.
But after all, she is the queen mother's daughter and King Qinghe's own sister, so he didn't dare to offend her, so he had to secretly wink at the third child.
Lin Tingkai nodded understandingly and tried to persuade: "My niece, you are deliberately picking things up. After all, we are not ordinary people, so naturally we can't sit with those ordinary people. This garden is used to entertain us before it is open. Princess Pingning has put her heart into it. "
Although he hated Chu Nanzhi, he didn't want to get into trouble with that girl because of such a trivial matter, making the emperor's niece pick a joke and make everyone look bad.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this place has been carefully arranged, full of flowers, and the positions of the lamps and chrysanthemum bonsai in each place are well arranged. VIP's.
Concubine Yue Gui was quite dissatisfied with what Lin Jinqian did at the gate of the restaurant just now.
If it weren't for the resentment that Chu Nanzhi took away her money bag, she would have been moved by this girl's arrangement today.
There was a long queue outside the restaurant, and this girl thought about arranging such a nice place to entertain their unexpected guests, she really had good intentions.
It's fine for Lin Jinqian to be arrogant and unreasonable, but don't get others involved.
After sorting out her thoughts, she also persuaded with earnestness and earnestness: "Sister Qian, we are here to join in the fun today. After all, it's the day when the restaurant opens, so don't leave any talk for others."
Thinking of what happened just now, she finally couldn't help but say a few more words: "Sister Qian has a noble status, and she is the heart of the Queen Mother, but after all, she came to Luyan Port with the governor of Tang Dynasty. Snake on the ground, we came here uninvited, and we didn't report in advance, so there is no reason to let people come out to welcome us in person, you, don't make things difficult for the governor."
These words awakened Lin Jinqian.
Although my husband is in charge of the Pingning Prefecture's armed forces, he will be controlled by Lin Jinxiao after all.
Seeing all the accusing gazes, she had no choice but to reply sullenly: "I just think that everyone is kind enough to come over to cheer, but Princess Pingning only asks one of her servants to come over to greet her, which is a disrespect for hospitality. "
Tang Ru seemed impatient with her fussing and stubbornness, frowned and said: "Princess, don't make trouble for no reason, you just asked the big shopkeeper to come out to greet her, and the boy called the big shopkeeper out for you. Yes, the reception is arranged again, what else do you want to do?"
"I"
Lin Jinqian was holding her breath, but couldn't speak.
Anyway, Lin Jinxiao will pay back the bad breath she gave Tang Rusaimei, sooner or later.
Hearing this, Lin Jinxiao deliberately coughed softly, quickened his pace and walked up calmly.
Tang Yuanxi saw the beautiful brushstroke, and ignored her angry sister-in-law, she got up first to greet her, and called out with a smile: "Brother Jinxiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are doing well recently, has your leg healed?"
"very good."
Lin Jinxiao replied indifferently, then bypassed her, walked straight to Lin Tingkai and Lin Tingyan, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know that Concubine Yue and the two imperial uncles are here, and I am sorry to welcome you. I hope you will forgive me."
"Jin Xiao is being polite."
Lin Tingyan waved his hands disapprovingly: "It was I who came here rashly and disturbed you and your wife. I should be the one to apologize to you."
Concubine Yue also pretended to be innocent and said with a smile: "Today I heard that Qinghefang and Jushengfang are very lively. It just so happened that Princess Qian came to Baodi for the first time, so I brought her here to join in the fun. King Pingning doesn't need to be formal, so don't worry about it. We affected the restaurant's business."
Tang Yuanxi still didn't know why Lin Jinxiao would allow him, the concubine, to come out and do business in public. Since he came here in person to support the scene, this face should be given.
Thinking about her sister-in-law's rudeness just now, she dared not blame her, but could only earnestly please her sweetheart:
"What the noble concubine said is very true. Brother Jinxiao, don't worry about our side. Although it is disrespectful for the princess to show her face and open a restaurant, but she has reached this point, and she can't let the money invested in it be wasted. Jinxiao Brother Xiao should go and help the concubine and sister-in-law to greet the guests, the business of the restaurant is booming so that brother Jinxiao can rest assured."
"The words of the princess are so unreasonable. My princess earns money by her own ability. She neither exploits and oppresses the people nor cheats her. How can she lose her dignity?"
Lin Jinxiao was quite annoyed by her words that sounded like concern, and as soon as he finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully at her brother Tang Ru.
Thinking about the casino, Tang Ru felt guilty all of a sudden, and replied with a stiff smile: "Yes, yes, what His Highness has taught you is that the imperial court has a policy to support business, and the princess is doing this for those officials who have been complaining about the imperial court all day. They have set an example, as long as they do not violate the court's prohibition and do not use their power for personal gain, the princess's diligent style should be commended."
"Praise is too serious."
Lin Jinxiao sat down casually, and smiled at everyone: "Although what my princess has done is not a righteous deed that benefits the country and the people, she is self-reliant, and she opens the door to do business in an orderly manner. Even if she loses money, she can rely on Her determination to be independent and self-improving should also be regarded as the best among women, which is better than those famous nobles who despise merchants and humble people on the surface, but secretly support merchants to collect money and private interests."
The accusations against Sang and Huai directly caused everyone to frown darkly.
Lin Jinxiao was too lazy to chat with everyone against his will and pretend to be polite. Anyway, he came here on behalf of his wife, which was considered as a kindness of the landlord, so he said bluntly: "Since Concubine Yue and the two uncles are here to enjoy the scenery Yes, then Xiao Wang will not disturb everyone's elegant mood, so I will send someone to prepare a dinner for you, but if you have an order, you can tell the shopkeeper."
As he spoke, he immediately ordered to Sang Kun: "Shopkeeper, please entertain all the nobles on behalf of your master."
Then, he strode away towards the crowd.
Sang Kun secretly looked at the helpless nobles, and couldn't stop snickering from the bottom of his heart.
It must be the only one that can greet the nobles in the palace like this. If it is placed in an ordinary restaurant, I am afraid it will not be far from closing down.
In any case, these people did not come to join us sincerely.
Looking at the gloomy faces of the crowd, Sang Kun asked cautiously: "Do you want to prepare a dinner for the nobles now?"
"No need."
Lin Tingyan waved his hands with a wry smile. Looking at the dejected faces, he couldn't bear a burst of joy in his heart.
Which of these present here is not a highly sought-after figure in Jingling City, they never thought that Luyan Port would be scolded by a former dilapidated householder, and they still couldn’t find reason.
It really relieves hatred.
Concubine Yue Gui wanted to see what was so attractive about the restaurant of the girl of the Chu family, so she quickly signaled to everyone: "Princess Pingning has arranged such a beautiful scenery, if we leave here, it will not be a disappointment to her kindness, since we have Come here, let's stay and taste the cooking skills of the chefs in the restaurant."
"Also."
Lin Jinqian was worried and couldn't figure it out.
Prince Pingning is so arrogant, if she leaves just now, wouldn't it be just in line with his wishes.
