Chapter 501 Upstart
The excitement of Qinghefang soon spread to the Duwei's Mansion in the north of the city.
Because his wife, Princess Jinqian, rushed to Luyan Port last night, and to focus on the Double Ninth Festival, Tang Ru deliberately invited Concubine Yue, Prince Lin Tingkai, and Prince Lin Tingyan to the mansion for a banquet. The rift between the two emperor uncles.
Hearing about Yuanlai Restaurant, Lin Jinqian couldn't hold back at first, and directly reprimanded in front of everyone: "The dignified princes and concubines of the foreign vassals are willing to degenerate and engage in deeds of the three religions, and King Pingning can sit idly by." Li, it's really absurd, he really came from the countryside, and he doesn't know what dignity is."
A while ago, that couple had ulterior motives for sending a lot of flirtatious women to their husband. She hadn't settled the account yet. Today happened to be there to see what kind of powerful people these two are.
Looking at the crowd, Lin Jinqian smiled meaningfully: "I don't know that such a small place like Luyan Port can be so lively. If Concubine Yue and the two uncles are interested, let's go over to join in the fun?"
Tang Yuanxi hadn't seen Lin Jinxiao for several days. Hearing that he was also in Qinghefang today, she immediately echoed, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go there with you."
Concubine Yue pouted her lips disapprovingly: "What's so exciting about this kind of excitement? It's just something that doesn't show up on the table. Just like what the princess said, the dignified princess, but she is willing to degenerate and engage in the activities of lowly merchants. , it is not surprising that untouched pariahs go to see rare things."
"I don't believe that this woman is so attractive. The restaurant's location has been reserved for a month. I'm afraid she spent money to bluff."
Lin Tingkai sneered a few times, looked at Concubine Yue Gui, and complimented with a fawning expression on his face:
"If you want to say that this woman is the best, you have to count Concubine Yue. When I returned home for the first time to visit relatives, people stopped to watch at the ten-mile long pavilion. Our niece and daughter-in-law were just grandstanding. After a while, everyone got tired of it. Then Qinghefang It's deserted, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to watch the bustle of merchants and lowlifes, Princess Qian is really curious, so it's better to wait a few days to see her jokes."
Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan was full of contempt for these people's high-sounding comments.
Everyone looks down on merchants, but they all want to get money from them, which is really contradictory:
"It's also a decline in the world. Today's imperial court has long since lost its grandeur when the country was founded. I'm afraid those merchants and lowly people are often regarded as honored guests by everyone here."
Lin Tingyan became more and more interested in that niece and daughter-in-law.
Never caring what others say, she just does her own thing silently.
How can such a strange woman who does not stick to small details make people admire her.
It's a pity that after all, she was born at an untimely time, making her a beautiful wife of another family.
Looking at the gloomy faces, Lin Tingyan calmly talked about the words of Princess Pingning: "The current situation in the court is difficult, and many states and counties have been in arrears with their salaries for one or two years. Doesn’t the imperial court also advocate that women from official households come out to make a living, and our nephew and daughter-in-law can be regarded as taking the lead in responding to the imperial court’s policy and sharing their worries for the imperial court.”
Concubine Yue Gui didn't know why the Sixth Uncle spoke to that girl, she was a little displeased and said, "Princess Pingning may be able to solve cases and investigate suspicions, but if you want to open the door for business, she's probably not that kind of material, at most It is also relying on the influence of the Zhao family to gain some sweetness."
"Maybe he is using his power for personal gain."
Lin Tingkai blinked sadly: "I heard that she bought a piece of land at a low price a while ago, and she must have used the power of King Pingning to forcibly occupy the house. King Pingning is really a duplicity." What kind of hypocrite, why are you making even land policy to embarrass the big family of the country gentry, but conniving at your own princess to do such deeds."
"Uncle San Huang is too worried about this."
Concubine Yue laughed sarcastically: "Most of the land in Jushengfang was bought by my father back then. It's really not a good place, and only the girl from the Chu family is a nouveau riche who doesn't care about money. Baba gave it to others. As a gift of silver, the old man in charge of the land only wanted five or six hundred taels, but she forcibly gave him two thousand taels of silver, what do you think he is not a fool."
After finishing speaking, she couldn't help laughing: "What's even more incredible is that she still pays out a lot of money to treat the children in Luyan Port to eat candy and pastries, and she said that she will sell the children in Jushengfang It is ridiculous to fill up the filthy land and build a house on the waste land."
Everyone was confused when they heard it.
After a few times of contact, I feel that the woman does not seem to be an unintelligent master. How can she do such a futile thing?
Looking at the arrogant faces, Lin Tingyan smiled disapprovingly: "I don't know if Princess Pingning will do business, but Zhao Guangyuan is a shrewd person. Regarding the construction of the mansion in Jushengfang, it is said that the Zhao family has contributed a lot of money and energy to help."
Speaking of this, he deliberately looked at Concubine Yanyue again: "Just now when this king came over, he also heard that Mr. Zhao donated a million taels of silver to the state government today, which shows that Princess Pingning is not a country woman."
"Donate one million taels of silver to the state capital?"
Concubine Yue Guifei's complexion suddenly changed, and she couldn't keep her composure anymore.
She had long felt that Zhao Guangyuan, an old man, had changed his mind. Previously, he only thought that he was just doing business with Princess Ning for profit, but now he actually donated so much money to the state government.
Although it wasn't a direct bribe to Lin Jinxiao, it was tantamount to helping Lin Jinxiao.
This old man is simply seeking his own death.
Looking at the crowd steadily, Concubine Yue smiled stiffly, and suddenly changed her mind: "Princess Qian came to Luyan Port for the first time, so I should accompany her to go around, and it happens that everyone also wants to go to Qinghefang Join in the excitement, then I will go with you."
Lin Tingyan saw the change in Concubine Yue Guifei's face completely, and didn't say much, just sneered secretly.
After all, she loves Zhao's property.
Ever since Zhao Taigong's only son died, this woman has long regarded the Zhao family's property as her own private treasury.
Recently, he found that the third child and Concubine Yue were getting closer, so he had to be wary of this woman.
Having made up their minds, a group of people got into the carriage, brought a few personal guards and female envoys, and headed towards Qinghefang.
Seeing that the evening was approaching, people who went out for an outing in the city came back from outside the city in an endless stream.
Everywhere is full of traffic and people's voices. Apart from Jingling City, this kind of bustling scene can only be seen in Luyan Port.
When I arrived at the east gate of Deqinghefang, I saw a long queue outside the restaurant, and there were many cars and horses on the side of the connecting road.
Concubine Yue Gui, Tang Yuanxi, and Lin Jinqian were about to get off the carriage when they heard the diners coming out of the restaurant talking loudly with intoxicated faces: "The food at the restaurant is really good, it's much better than the Qi's Restaurant , the dishes are novel and unique, and I have traveled all over the world for many years, and I have never been so satisfied as I am today."
"I also feel the same way, since Brother Liu hasn't enjoyed himself to the fullest yet, I will be the host another day, so let's meet here again."
"Well, the business is too hot and the waiting time is too long."
"So what's the matter, it's just a waste of time."
Looking at the diners returning happily, Lin Jinqian couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and sneered coldly: "What's the big deal, the people I hired with money boasted so much."
As he spoke, he immediately stopped Concubine Yue Gui and Tang Yuanxi who were about to get out of the car, and angrily rebuked the groom: "Go, let the shopkeeper of the restaurant come out to greet you in person."
