Gu Qingli turned back and looked at her with a faint smile before saying, "This wangfei is also tired. It's already noon. Let's find a restaurant by the roadside and eat something."
As if she had received an amnesty, Yu Li suddenly perked up and followed her into the restaurant.
After all, he could finally find a place to leave the treasure. Yuping felt her body lighten, and she felt as though she was about to float to the surface.
Gu Qing Li ordered a round of eight dishes, such as Eight Treasures Duck, Acetin Carp, Yao Zhu stewed chicken wings, Longjing shrimp … Red, green, green, white and other colors matched perfectly, making her look like she was about three thousand feet into the water. Yupi could only watch as she ate.
There was no servant in this world who could eat at the same table as Master. Yupi was clear on this point, but how much food could Gu Qingli eat at the table? She could only hope that she would finish eating quickly and that she would still be able to eat some more.
Results... Gu Qingli ate a few bites of each one and then stopped frowning. She looked a bit uncomfortable, so she found a waiter to ask for the location of the latrine and left.
Yuli was baffled. Even if the food was not clean, it shouldn't be so bad for the stomach, right?
She waited and waited until she saw a few waiters coming with fiendish expressions, followed by the restaurant manager. He pointed at her angrily and said, "It's her. Her master ate an overbearing meal and ran away using the excuse of going to the toilet!"
Yu Li was shocked and scolded, "What nonsense are you all spouting? Do you know who my wangfei is? " She was born in the Prime Minister's Estate, and even though she was a servant, she had been living in a wealthy family for a long time.
The owner of the restaurant was not an ordinary person. Even the shops that opened on the main road of Beijing were not ordinary people. It was impossible to achieve such a big business without a backer.
He was obviously not frightened by Yuli's aura and laughed coldly, "Princess? I still have Imperial Concubine Ling backing me! "Let me tell you, I've already gone to the toilet and found your wife who was deceiving you. Since she pawned you here, either you settle your account with her, or you sell your body to repay your debt!"
Yu Li was furious and said sternly, "Who dares to touch me? I am a servant of Prime Minister Gu's estate, and I accompanied you to the Residence of Prince Mo. My royal consort is the second born daughter of Prime Minister Gu, and the main consort of Prince Mo's Estate! "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask!"
The shopkeeper didn't seem to care at all. He twisted his mouth and sneered, "It's useless even if you say you're the Jade Maiden by the Queen Mother's side!" If you can't take out the money, I'll have you pay for it! "
At his command, the few waiters slowly gathered around, their expressions fierce. Yuli finally somewhat panicked, groping up and down, but only found a few loose change in the pocket.
"Let me tell you, the dishes ordered are either mountain treasure or seafood, a total of sixty-three taels of silver!" For ordinary people, they would not even need fifty silver coins to buy a servant girl.
What kind of banquet would cost sixty-three taels! Yu Li was shocked. Although these dishes were indeed high quality, they shouldn't be that expensive, right? Seven taels of silver for a dish?
"This is the number one place in the capital, the Drunken Immortal Tavern!" What we are here to eat is not food, but elegance! "
Yuli looked around at the restaurant's decorations, his vision turning black. Previously, he was as tired as a dog while carrying his stuff. Later on, when he saw Gu Qing Li eating and being as hungry as a wolf, he didn't pay attention to anything else.
The Eight Immortals Table was filled with excellent quality yellow and flowery pear trees, and the entire restaurant was filled with the elegant sound of silk and bamboo. The restaurant was facing the main road, and on the back of the restaurant, there was a considerable amount of water flowing into the moat, so much so that one could even clearly see the imperial city's Biwa Fly …
Yuli had seen much of the world and knew that this restaurant was where the royal family and famous officials of the capital would display their wealth. It was indeed a place to sell their style. Then, it was really possible that the shopkeeper had said that he was backed up by Imperial Concubine Ling.
"But I didn't …" Her tone turned soft as she spoke in a flustered tone, "But my wangfei is really Princess Mo. You two have sent people to the Prince Mo's estate …"
The shopkeeper sneered: "Even if that sickly King Mo has arrived, he has to first pay for the wine before speaking! If you don't have the money, then beat me up first! "
"No, no, no …"
In the land of Wang Shishi, a few waiters would knock her down with punches and kicks, then tie her up and say coldly, "You can't be a waiter in my restaurant, from tomorrow onwards, learn to play the lute of a song and play the lute. If you do well, you can stay here and wait on your esteemed guest.
Yuki knew exactly where he was talking about. She shook her hair loose and kept crying.
"With your looks, you won't be able to sell her for much." The restaurant manager left behind two attendants to watch over her before leaving in a hurry.
As the sky turned dark, Yuli's heart was filled with despair. She saw the shopkeeper nod and bow, his face full of flattery as he followed behind Gu Qing Li into the restaurant.
Gu Qingli frowned at first before she turned around and berated him harshly, "This wangfei came over just four hours late. What, you think I can't pay for your wine? You even dare to touch someone from the Prince Mo's Mansion, are you tired of living? "
With a flick of her sleeve, two ingots of ingots were placed flat on the table. They were embedded in eight points, causing the shopkeeper's face to turn pale.
"Fifty silver taels for one ingot. Here is one hundred taels. That should be enough for the wine, right?"
The shopkeeper squeezed out a word with difficulty, "Enough." However, when he stared at the yellow, flowery, and pear Eight Immortals Table which was embedded with two ingots of Origin Treasures, even if he dug it out, he would still have to leave behind two holes. It was ruined.
The price of this yellow pear table was more than one hundred taels, but now that Gu Qing Li had revealed his hand, he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Alright, this wangfei owes you all this." Gu Qingli pointed at the jade pear, "But our Mo King's Manor's maidservant was beaten to such a state, how are we going to settle this debt?"
The shopkeeper's expression changed as he looked at the bloody nose, eyes, and mouth of Yuli. He clenched his teeth and was at a loss for words.
Gu Qingli suddenly smiled, "The capital city is under the hands of the Emperor, so it's better to pay a visit to the government offices and see who opened this restaurant. With such spirit, they executed the punishment in private, and the punishment was for us from the Prince Mo Residence!"
This time, the shopkeeper didn't dare to doubt that she wasn't Princess Mo. Just from her actions just now, he knew that the woman in front of him was not someone who could openly contradict her. He could only dryly laugh, "This matter was not properly considered by the servants. When I came here, it was already like this …"
Yuli's mouth was stuffed with a rag, but he still resisted with wide eyes.
"Madam …" "No, Princess, how do you want to compensate?" He steeled his heart. A few hundred taels of yellow and pear table was ruined, so he didn't mind losing some silver. He first dismissed this fiend, then when he came back someone would come looking for her misfortune. Even if she was really from the Mo King's Manor, she could not be rampant in the capital.
Gu Qingli suddenly broke into a gentle smile. "Forget it. No matter what, this wangfei was the one who was in the wrong. Before, because I was ill, I went to find someone to check my pulse and take some medicine before coming back late to cause such a misunderstanding. Forget it, release her."
Yu Li's hands were freed as she pointed at the shopkeeper with a face full of anger and shock. "Princess, not only did he say you cheated your food and drink, he even called our Prince a sickly man!"
Gu Qingli's face darkened as she looked coldly at the shopkeeper.
"No, absolutely not!" The storekeeper flatly denied it, "Girl, my shop assistant has started an offense against you. I apologize for them, but you can't speak carelessly when you are blushing and wronging others."
"Esteemed wangfei …"
"Let's go, Yuli."
Yu Li was angered to the extreme. She wanted to say more, but as she watched Gu Qing Li walk away, she had no choice but to hurry to catch up. Although she had been beaten up and was only injured physically, she could still walk. However, when she saw the shopkeeper return the large and small bags that Gu Qingli had previously bought, she couldn't help but stare blankly.
