Grave-Robber, the Time Traveler - C126
“I heard that the one who opened this restaurant was the Miss Er of the National Duke Palace.”
“Didn’t the Miss Er marry the Prince Jin? A few days ago, I heard that Miss Er followed Prince Jin and went to the Yue Yue Manor. ”
“You might not know this, but something has happened to Miss Er. Prince Jin is begging the Emperor to end the engagement.”
In the quiet environment, she could still hear some whispers, but Yun Qixi was not affected by the discussions, she was holding onto her wine cup and smiling at Shan Liancheng.
“This Miss Er’s life is really not good. Before, the Crown Princess did not think it was anything good, but now, even the Princess Jin cannot do it.”
“Who said her fate was bad? I heard that the Prince Xiliang suddenly appeared at the hunting grounds and begged the Emperor to allow the Miss Er to marry him.”
“Is that so? How do you know so well? ”
“Of course. A cousin of mine from a distant house is a guard. This time, he went with the Emperor to the hunting grounds. When this happened, he was there as well.”
“Prince Jin, give me some face, right?” Yun Qixi said with her smile not diminishing.
Shan Liancheng stared at her for a moment, and finally reached out and took her wine cup. His gaze stopped at the jade bracelet on her wrist for a moment, and then raised his head and drank it all, at the same time throwing the wine cup back from his hands.
After an elegant parabola, the people scrambled to get out of the way. The wine cup fell into the hands of a person.
The big felt hat, the blue cloth jacket, the sleeves slightly rolled up, two fingers twirling, the wine cup spinning in his hand, his palm down, his fingers loose.
With a shattering sound, the wine cup fell to the ground and shattered.
He could only see him smile as he walked towards Yun Qixi step by step. When he walked closer, he reached out to take off his felt hat. A peerless beauty appeared in front of the crowd, causing them to cry out in surprise.
“Shattered and safe, Prince Jin, on behalf of Qi Xi, I thank you for your blessings.” Chu Lingyun had already walked to Yun Qixi’s side, and looked at Shan Liancheng who was seated on the horse as he laughed.
Shan Liancheng’s eyes dimmed for a moment, without even looking at Chu Lingyun, after looking at him for a moment, he picked up the reins and rode his horse away.
Everyone quietly stepped aside, and watched Shan Liancheng’s back figure leave.
When Shan Liancheng and his men disappeared from the street, the quiet citizens finally heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the man in ordinary clothes who gave off a threatening aura.
Chu Lingyun ignored the numerous gazes that fell on him, and looked at him warmly with a smile.
“Qixi, you really are swift and decisive. You opened up the restaurant so quickly.” After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on the three big words “Qixianglai Restaurant” at the entrance, and asked again, “But why do you need to call it Qixianglai Restaurant?”
Yun Qixi shook off the mixed feelings in her heart, raised her eyebrows, and laughed: “When I’m gone, I have to leave something behind, right? For a tower named after my name to let everyone in the capital remember its founder, Yun Qixi, isn’t this feeling too great? ”
Chu Lingyun laughed and nodded, “That’s right.”
Yun Qixi clapped her hands, then said loudly to the people around him, “Everyone, Qixianglai Restaurant is free of charge for three days.
As soon as he said that, the citizens cheered.
After the crowd dispersed, Shan Jingyan and Yun Chong bade their farewell. Shan Baozhu naturally followed closely behind Yun Chong, who left without a trace of interest.
The others returned to the Qixianglai Restaurant.
After closing the door, everyone began to excitedly discuss the explosive results of today’s opening.
Only Yun Qixi and Chu Lingyun remained seated facing each other as they drank their tea calmly.
“Miss Yun, looks like you knew that today’s business would be good, right?” Dong Zi asked.
Yun Qixi put down the teacup, and nodded confidently: “Of course, I, Yun Qixi, have never invested without any confidence.”
She was both excited and incredulous at the same time. She had been busy at first, but now she was too excited, and there was a tinge of blood on her thin cheeks. Still, she was worried.
“But, Miss Yun, if we do not accept the silver coins now, there will be a lot of commoners around. When we accept the silver coins in the future, would there still be so many people around?”
Yun Qixi tapped the table leisurely with her fingers, and laughed: “Don’t tell me you don’t believe me?”
“I do, of course I do.” Everyone rushed to express their opinions.
Yun Qixi looked at the people around him in a happy mood. Previously, they were all dressed in rags, and would be looked down upon wherever they went. Having solved the employment problems of these people, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
“I’ve paved the way for you guys to earn money. As for how well you guys are doing? “Whether you can earn money or not depends on you guys.”
“Miss Yun, don’t worry. After doing this much, we won’t have to beg anymore. We will definitely cherish it and do as you say.” Er Gui immediately said solemnly.
“Miss Yun, you have done so much for us, we don’t even know how to thank you.” Dong Zi did not say much, but his sincerity could be seen from his words.
Yun Qixi nodded her head, “No need to thank me. You two are doing well, and I’m also happy. In the future, if I return to Great Swallow, I’ll also have a place to eat, right?”
Cui Cui said, “Miss Yun, you can come anytime you want. You are the real shopkeeper for our Qixianglai Restaurant.”
Although everyone was talking about Chu Lingyun, ever since they found out Chu Lingyun’s true identity, they were clearly not as active as they were in the past. It was obvious that they were a lot more cautious. Even though he was only wearing cloth now.
Chu Lingyun had been sitting by the side the entire time, quietly listening with a smile. She roughly saw through something, and after everyone finished talking, he said, “Today’s Qixianglai Restaurant has struck a good start, how about everyone come and celebrate with us?”
If it was the past, everyone would definitely jump up when he said that, but now that everyone was quiet, they all seemed to yearn for his suggestion, but because of Chu Lingyun’s status, no one dared to be too presumptuous.
Yun Qixi banged on the table, stood up and said frankly, “That’s right, we should indeed celebrate, let’s drink until we’re drunk.”
Cui Cui looked at Chu Lingyun, then looked at Yun Qixi, and said softly, “Shouldn’t we send our blessings to the Miss Yun and Her Royal Highness?”
“Yes, yes,” he said. Everyone chimed in.
Yun Qixi just smiled, she looked at Chu Lingyun, who was smiling at her, she sighed, and shouted, “Give me some wine.”
Thus, the dishes and wine were served. Everyone closed the door and sighed.
After all, they were not people who were overly restrained. After drinking a few cups, their attitude became casual, and their status was temporarily put aside. Recalling how they used to drink together, everyone seemed to have a lot to spit out.
Er Gui wanted to say something several times, but he resisted the urge to. After drinking a few more cups, he looked at Chu Lingyun and said, “Your Highness, you …”
“We’re all friends. We used to be, and will be. Don’t call me that.” Chu Lingyun laughed.
Er Gui’s expression changed, he raised his wine cup and said to Chu Lingyun: “Your Highness the Prince is straightforward, I, Er Gui will do it first as a form of respect.”
After drinking a cup, Er Gui wiped his mouth with his sleeve and suddenly looked towards Old Xu who was seated at the side.
“Old Xu, do you remember what you said last time in Dong Zi’s courtyard?”
Old Xu smiled and did not answer him.
Yun Qixi did not know what Er Gui was talking about, but she looked at Old Xu curiously.
Er Gui was an impatient one, when he saw Old Xu only smile and did not speak, he became anxious and pushed him.
“What are you laughing at? Don’t you remember? Didn’t you say last time that Miss Yun had a phoenix’s life? I didn’t think that you would actually hit the mark. If Miss Yun marries His Royal Highness, isn’t he going to become a queen in the future? ”
So he was talking about this, Yun Qixi remembered. Was this fate? But in her heart, she felt that something was wrong.
Old Xu looked at Yun Qixi, then at Chu Lingyun, and finally, only shook his head with a smile.
“What do you mean by shaking your head?” The more Er Gui saw, the more anxious he became.
Old Xu said, “You can’t leak it out.”
Er Gui laughed, “What heaven’s will? If you had directly said that Yun Qi was His Highness the Prince, that Miss Yun would marry him in the future and that he would become the imperial concubine, wouldn’t everyone understand that, and would have to say things in a unclear manner. ”
Looking at Yun Qixi, she said, “Miss Yun, you do indeed have the fate of a phoenix. The fate of this matter cannot be described with words, sooner or later, everyone will understand.”
Seeing that he was still talking like that, as if he was a mute, Er Gui felt bored and went to drink with the others.
Yun Qixi thought about Old Xu’s words and felt that it was funny. Before she had teleported to another world, she had experienced all sorts of suffering, and even her father didn’t want to bother with her. Where could he tell that she had a phoenix’s life? Was it true that she was going to marry Chu Lingyun?
“Qixi, you’re tired today. Eat more.”
A piece of fish was caught in Yun Qixi’s bowl, accompanied by Chu Lingyun’s gentle yet concerned voice.
Yun Qixi smiled back at them, nodded, and raised her cup to everyone, “Today, the most tired ones are all of you.
Everyone raised their cups, and their faces were brimming with sincere smiles.
In the end, everyone completely let go. Even Cui Cui, who usually did not drink, drank a few cups. Today, everyone’s fate had changed, a good change. Everyone was truly happy to think that they could earn money with their own hands.
Yun Qixi was also genuinely happy. She was a woman with a strong will to do business, to be able to accomplish something, she felt a special sense of accomplishment.
Opening a restaurant to settle the livelihood of Dong Zi and the rest was her first step, and as he was drinking and eating, Yun Qixi had already started to think of his second step.
Thus, early the next morning, she headed towards Shan Liancheng’s training camp.
