The Imperial Concubine Chef - C146
The arrival of the Tian Family clansmen and Madam Liu caused the spirits of the mother and daughter to rise.
Su Xinyu hadn’t been busy going to the restaurant for the past few days, but it was still necessary to “inspect” the entire restaurant with her grandmother and the Tian Family. Seeing that Su Xinyu’s business was going so far, she saw the other two residences that Su Xinyu had mentioned. Although they did not see the two large courtyards in the village, just these houses and restaurants alone were enough to make the Tian Family members and Madam Liu exclaim in admiration.
It had to be said that Su Xinyu’s capabilities caused Madam Ping and Madam Soong, who were naturally sister-in-law, to have other thoughts. As they helped their father-in-law clean up the medicine store, they tried to figure out what they wanted to do. Now that she had become a general, she did not stay at home at all. The Tian brothers also began taking care of the business with their father. Tian Liqin was already big at home and would only eat two meals a day at home. Even if Tian Liyong bought six more servants for his family, they wouldn’t be able to use the two siblings. This meant that he would be free for most of the time. I can’t just stay at home, can I?
If this was the past, these two sisters would think the same as everyone else, that their in-laws were capable, that their husbands were considerate, and that their sons were filial and filial. This was their most perfect life. How comfortable it was to be a mistress at home. However, seeing how a little girl like Su Xinyu was able to have her own things and do it better than a man, with their strong temper, it was hard to avoid them having thoughts.
Hearing what Aunt auntie and Mother had said, Su Xinyu’s mind stirred: “auntie, Second Aunt, what kind of deal do you want to make?”
Although the Madam Soong was more considerate than usual. But she always obeyed her sister-in-law. After all, the Madam Ping was a very reliable person. Sister-in-law, what do you think? ”
The Madam Ping laughed: “Actually, we don’t have any concrete thoughts right now. I just feel that since you’re so capable, as adults, what should we do? Wenlan’s current embroidery was also worth dozens of silver taels. We don’t have the skills, but we can do something else, can’t we? Otherwise, we’ll just have to stay at home and stare at each other. ”
Su Xinyu laughed: “Otherwise, you two will not be able to set up a stall, it would be better to make a fool of yourself. I was going to open a dessert shop, specializing in delicious sweets. This item was originally meant to be sold to women and children. But I have too many things to part with. Why not? You two, take care of it with my mother. I’ll give out a snack bar for you two, and you two, take care of it as well. When that time comes, auntie’s Aunt, my mother and you three will each get a share.
Madam Ping shook his hand after hearing it, “This idea is good, but your method of dividing the debt is wrong. auntie knows that you want to take care of us. But because of our close relationship, we can’t have any mistakes in this silver coin. We are willing to close the shop. However, they couldn’t be separated like this. At most, it would only count as the difference between your Su Family and Tian Family. “When the time comes, our sister-in-law will split the debt.”
Madam Soong nodded: “Yes, yes. Sister-in-law said what I wanted to say. Xinyu. Aunt knew your mind was good. But there is a saying that brotherly brothers should account for themselves. ”
Su Xinyu chuckled. “Alright, since auntie and Aunt have said so. I don’t insist. But it’s not easy to run a business. Hu Zi followed me for so long, I’ll let her help you guys first. Pu Zi’s business was easy, she could ask Third Uncle Qiao for help. I can find a cheap place to buy the raw materials. It’s up to you three how to set up this shop and how to attract the women and children to eat it. ”
After Su Wenlan heard this, she became a little timid. This matter… Mother, are you not going to participate in this? ”
Madam Soong could not allow Su Wenlan to leave. We agreed that the three of us will come together, how can you retreat? Besides, this business is for entertaining girls and children. There won’t be any bad claims.
Su Wenlan laughed bitterly: “I just don’t think I can help.”
Madam Ping laughed: “Don’t listen to us agree to it so readily. However, she still didn’t know how to do it. But to do so was to take the first step. Think about it, when you took Xinyu away from your hometown, did you think that you would have such a good day today? This was a path that had been walked step by step. As long as we are able to get away safely, there will be no problem at all! ”
Su Xinyu praised Madam Ping’s words: “auntie is too right. Mother, I don’t want you to embroider because I am afraid that you will hurt your eyes and that your bones will hurt. But there was no problem in doing other business. Besides, you can’t stay in the house all the time. Now that you’ve opened a shop and a place to go, it’s good to know more friends. And grandma, we also have to get to know more people in order to be more interesting. ”
Madam Liu agreed with her words: “Wenlan, just listen to the child.”
Su Wenlan also thought that it was extremely logical. Fine. I’ll… “Let’s give it a try.”
On the side of the Haian City, Su Family and the Tian Family women prepared a snack bar. The situation in the capital was not as relaxed and comfortable.
Inside the imperial study, the emperor, Shangguan Heng, was facing a report with his brows knitted tightly. Below, Prince Ling Shangguan Lin, Right Minister Yuan Sheng, Great General, and Left Censor-in-Chief Jin Qiu stood on either side of each other. However, even though the Left Censor-in-Chief was standing behind Yuan Sheng, he was extremely respectful towards this old thief in his heart. Today’s matter was caused by him.
Shangguan Heng frowned: “Yuan Sheng, this paper says that your uncle is using his power to bully a wife and daughter, do you know his crime?”
Yuan Sheng quickly kneeled on the ground, “This subject is terrified! He did not know anything about this matter, so he hoped that he could ask this official some questions! “If there is a truth, I will not show mercy!”
Shangguan Heng sneered, and then threw Plays in front of Yuan Sheng: “The evidence in here is conclusive, do you still need to ask? If you did not have a good son-in-law, your Yuan Family would have been utterly discredited! ”
Hearing the two words “son-in-law”, Yuan Sheng was a little confused. But when he picked it up and looked at it, he nearly fainted from anger. So this song was not written by others, but was written by his son-in-law, Zhou Zhongjin. Not only was there a musical composition, but there was also a hundred book attached to it.
How could he not know what his brother-in-law had done? His Yuan Family was also huge and his own status was high, so his clansmen naturally had all sorts of advantages. This sort of thing was nothing to him. He hadn’t thought that his “good” son-in-law would be stabbed in the back.
“Although he is furious, he cannot show it on the surface.” Long live! This subject truly does not know. However, everything that Chin Jin wrote should be true. This subject will not show mercy! ”
Shangguan Heng nodded his head, “To think that you are so generous as to be willing to eliminate your family on a just cause, I am very comforted. However, this son-in-law of yours is really not bad. Since you have the guts and brains, Jin Qiu, I hope that Zhou Zhongjin can take up the post in your Supervising Department and become the censor for you. What do you think? ”
This was the official rank of the fourth rank, to Zhou Zhongjin, it was a rank increase of three levels. However, his rate of advancement had also increased. Before the new emperor ascended the throne, he was only a sixth grade household booklet. After Shangguan Heng ascended the throne, in order to “recognize” Yuan Family, he also brought along Zhou Zhongjin’s official position. However, he was only a fifth rank assistant. The current fourth grade of the history of the capital can be said to be the real job. Furthermore, the Emperor had personally said that he would make an exception when it came to upgrading his cultivation. This was completely different from slowly increasing his cultivation level.
But with the emperor’s words, Yuan Sheng didn’t dare to say anything no matter how much he hated Yuan Sheng. After returning home, not only would he not blame his son-in-law, he would even praise him a bit. Just thinking about this made him feel extremely unhappy.
The Emperor naturally wouldn’t care about whether he was satisfied or not. After giving Zhou Zhongjin a promotion, he asked Shangguan Lin: “Prince Ling, I have heard that Chief Officer Ji’s body is not feeling well recently, so I have sought out many famous doctors to treat him but to no avail. He is my uncle, so I can’t go visit him. Please go visit him on my behalf. You can put aside the matters in the capital for now. There is always work to be done in the imperial court, and you can’t keep working so hard. There’s always something to be done by others. ”
Shangguan Lin hurriedly bowed, “Thank you for your understanding of me. “Then, will Chendi set off today?”
Shangguan Heng laughed: “No need to be in such a hurry. The Queen Mother should have something for you to take with you. ”
It was Great General. Zhuo Qianling bowed and said: “Long live. This subject would also like to visit Master! ”
Shangguan Heng frowned slightly, but then nodded his head: “Uncle and you have the kindness of being master and disciple, and since he is so sick, you should go visit him. You Master and disciple haven’t seen each other in all these years. I shall allow you to accompany Prince Ling for half a month’s holiday to visit. However, we cannot leave the capital unattended. ”
Zhuo Qianling recommended: “Long live General Tian. This subject thinks that although General Tian is young, he is calm and composed, a person that can be of great use.”
Shangguan Heng nodded: “We also have the same intentions. However, I heard that Tian Liyong is not in the military camp of the imperial city. ”
Shangguan Lin replied, “Long live you. His servant ordered him to go to the Thousand Blessings and send a city order. The county governor quickly delivered this year’s taxes to the capital. Nanling has already caused floods before this, so I, your servant, have come here to prepare for any unexpected situations. ”
“It’s a good thing that Prince Ling is so vigilant. However, this silver cannot all be taken out of your Blessed Land. Prime Minister Yuan, do you have any good ways to fill the national treasury? ”
Yuan Sheng was thinking about how to deal with that son-in-law of his. When he heard the emperor’s words, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t dare not to reply. “Yes, sir.” Long live you. In my opinion, the most important thing about the state treasury is still the tax revenue. For the Prince Ling to be able to come up with such a huge sum of silver tax, the feudal fiefdom of King Zhao and King An should not be inferior in any way. ”
Shangguan Heng who was originally smiling suddenly revealed a look of anger, he slapped the Dragon Codex: “Bastard! I told you to think of a good way, and that’s what you think? Are you planning to let my royal brothers control the people and feed you? I heard that you’ve bought a new house in the outskirts of the capital, and you’ve even surrounded a thousand mu of fertile land. At least over a hundred thousand silvers? With this silver, how much would it be worth to the commoners? It would be better if you donated all of this, since the national treasury will be much richer! “
