Chapter 248 Opening a Restaurant
Jiang Ning waved his hand, "One thing comes to another. What does your father and brother's evil deeds have to do with you? But to put your mind at ease, we accept this gift. There is no need to mention those things in the future."
Xue Chen felt relieved. Seeing that King Xiaoyao was still there, it was not convenient for him to stay for a long time, so he left very knowingly.
As soon as he left, King Xiaoyao immediately glared at Jiang Ning angrily, "How dare you still praise him for being such a hypocrite and such a villain? Stupid!"
"Bah! I think you are the one who is stupid! Whether Xue Chen is good or bad has nothing to do with me? Besides, he helped me clear the way and deal with those disgusting things. What's wrong with me thanking him? "Jiang Ning retorted, not politely.
King Xiaoyao was so angry that he spoke without hesitation, "What do you know! Although Xue Shao is shameful and has done a lot of evil things, the bad things he did were all obvious, and the bad things were clear and obvious. In vain, Xue Gang is a dim-witted man, he spoils his concubines and destroys his wife, he is headstrong and self-righteous, and he is not a good person.
But no matter how bad they are, they can't be as bad as Xue Chen. That guy is not only insidious but also perverted. Do you know what he did? He fell in love with his father's concubine! That concubine is still kept in the dark, and Xue Gang has no idea. "
Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt a little nauseous, "Does he have such a strong taste?"
King Xiaoyao was furious, "Is this the point? I'm telling you! This person has a dark mind. Now he is forced to bow to you due to the situation, but he may not really let go in his heart. He might bite you behind your back at some point!"
“What should we do?” Yang Datou looked worried.
At this time, Butler Song came in and told everything he had learned.
Jiang Ning's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, "Let me just say it! Xue Chen's performance just now was so different from what you said, and his feelings have been abandoned by the emperor! My lord, do you think he still dares to trip me up behind my back?" ?"
King Xiaoyao looked depressed, "I have never seen anyone stupider than him. He hurts the enemy a thousand times and hurts himself eight hundred."
"No!" Jiang Ning shook his head meaningfully, "As Xue Chen said, if he sits idly by and does nothing, Xue Gang will definitely retaliate against me, and I will never sit back and wait to die. He can't guess the outcome, but he can't afford to be There was a risk that Duke An Guo's mansion would be deprived of his title, so he made a risky move.
In this way, the title of Duke Anguo has been kept, and everything in the Xue family belongs to him. What he has lost is only his reputation, but the actual interests are still firmly in his hands. Maybe he is grateful to me in his heart!
If our family hadn't made a big fuss and given him an excuse to act, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to stand up until he was deposed! "
Yang Datou and Liu Ye were shocked after hearing these words, as if they didn't know Jiang Ning.
King Xiaoyao sneered: "You know him quite well!"
Not sure whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm, Jiang Ning just took it as a good word. He took a sip of tea with a contented expression and looked at Yang Datou and his wife, "Now that Xue Shao has been executed, don't worry about those things before, and remember them." The purpose of our coming to the capital.”
Yang Datou glanced at King Xiaoyao and nodded honestly.
Jiang Ning sighed and said seriously: "What we want is to win in an honest and fair manner, not to rely on relationships to get the upper hand. Only with strong strength can we be stable in any situation. Relying on others is only temporary and cannot last long. I want to ask you two questions. Are you going back to Ping'an County after participating in the cooking competition, or do you have other ideas? "
Xiaoyao Wang wanted to say something to Jiang Ning, but after hearing what she said later, he held it back. He also wanted to know the family's plan to come to the capital. If they were traveling for a few days, he wanted to find out Jiang Ning's details before the family left the capital. , if this family plans to settle in the capital, he can take his time and not be in a hurry.
"I" Yang Datou looked at Jiang Ning and King Xiaoyao, feeling very confused.
Liu Ye on the side was more straightforward, "Aniang, I want to stay in the capital."
“Huh?” Yang Datou looked at Liu Ye in surprise.
Liu Ye clenched her fists tightly, "After this incident, I understand a truth. No one in our family dares to provoke us in Ping'an County, but the dignitaries in the capital simply look down on our family. If we don't work hard to establish a foothold in the capital, our family will be in trouble in the future." "I'm afraid it will be even harder." The Yang family is today all because of her mother-in-law. When her mother-in-law passes away, their family will gradually decline without any outstanding descendants. Of course, she shouldn't worry about this alone, but her mother-in-law said it before. In the future, the title will be given to them. Xu'er is her eldest son and will most likely inherit the title of Uncle Guang En. She cannot let her son be looked down upon by the powerful people in the capital in the future.
Yang Datou opened his mouth and slowly lowered his head. After a while, his tangled eyes became more determined, "Yi Zi is right, I will fight! Auntie, I want to stay in the capital!"
The smile on King Xiaoyao's lips deepened a little, "It's good to stay in the capital! The spicy dishes you cook are quite good, and this is the first one in the capital. If you open a restaurant in the future, your business will definitely be prosperous! Don't worry, I will take care of you. With you!"
Jiang Ning rarely gave him a good look this time, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of me. If you come to support me in the future, I will ask the shopkeeper to give you a 20% discount."
"Only 20% off? How stingy!" King Xiaoyao climbed up the pole.
Yang Datou was a little embarrassed and was about to say it was free.
Jiang Ning instantly turned his face, "Don't forget it, I'll suffer less!"
"You are such a woman." King Xiaoyao was furious, "Will you die if you say a few nice words to make me happy?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "I won't die, but it's a bit off-putting."
“Jiang Ning!” King Xiaoyao was so angry that he called him by his name.
Jiang Ning picked his ears and saw that the old man was there, "I can hear you! If you want to open your voice, the prince, you can go and sit at the concierge of our house. When someone comes, just shout loudly. I am sure I can hear you."
Liu Ye couldn't help laughing.
King Xiaoyao was so angry that he blew his beard and left with eyes wide open.
Yang Datou was very worried, "Aniang, that is the emperor's favorite brother. Is it really okay for you to let go of your popularity?"
"There's no need for you to worry! Just focus on yourself! I'll go back to Fucheng, Quzhou when everything is stable here. Hey! There are so many children, and they all have so much to worry about!" Jiang Ning felt a little melancholy.
When she first traveled through time, her idea was very simple: to live a good life, make money, and then live comfortably as a landlady in the village, catching cats and amusing dogs, and doing nothing else.
Unexpectedly, after earning this money and getting older, she had more worries. It was completely different from what she had imagined. She thought that a trip to the capital was just like a long trip, and it would be a worthwhile trip.
As it turned out, everything was full of trouble when I came to the capital. I had a fight with the powerful just now, and I didn't know what trouble was waiting behind me.
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Then she looked at the eldest son and daughter-in-law in front of her. One was honest and simple-minded, while the other had ambitions and no direction. She didn't know when she would grow up.
Yang Datou and his wife also knew that they were not living up to expectations, so they immediately hung their heads in guilt.
Jiang Ning cleared his throat and said thoughtfully: "I'll go check out the shop that the emperor gave me later. If it's suitable, I can use my own shop to open a restaurant."
Yang Datou was shocked and shook his head repeatedly, "Auntie, I don't want it!"
