Mu Chen's business is very good. Before winter, he opened a branch in Nancheng.
The capital is rich and there are many people with spare money in their pockets. It is said that there is a medicated food restaurant in the capital which mainly focuses on health preservation. It not only provides a variety of seasonal fruits, but also has wonderful storytelling. All of them want to join in the fun.
The richer people are, the more they cherish their lives. They all want to live a long life. As soon as the restaurant comes out, they are attracted by their hearts. Originally, they just want to have a taste of fresh food to see if it is really as magical as the propaganda. When we go to the street, we find that one is hard to find. Under the rain eaves, there are still several people waiting. Suddenly, they feel that they have to eat, so they also follow.
Shijinxuan is very kind. There are a row of stools outside the restaurant for people in line to rest and wait for them to send tea. It is extremely considerate and has won the favor of many customers.
Those who are not afraid of spending money all like the elegant rooms on the second floor. The environment is elegant and clean. When you open the window, you can listen to the story telling below. The price is a little expensive, and the daily supply is still in short supply. Even some bold and generous childe will directly contract for a month. It seems that they want to live in the shijinxuan for a long time.
People who have been there boast that the food, wine and service of Jinxuan are good. Those who have not been there will talk about the situation when they see the front of the restaurant full of people every day. It has become a kind of publicity, not to mention those young men and women who almost fight for an elegant room. After two months, the tide of people has never stopped.
Shen Jingli looked at Jingyin and felt very satisfied.
At the beginning, of course, he used some strategies, whether it was to send leaflets or let King Jing go to the town. However, he and Mu Chen carefully selected the dishes in the restaurant. Let alone Kyoto, the whole Dayan Dynasty had never been eaten. It was delicious and fresh. In addition, some ingenious ideas of dining culture, specially trained staff, the matching of dishes and dishes, and the back of each dish were given The implication of giving is a new experience for every guest, not to mention the novel and wonderful storytelling.
In particular, for two months in a row, the daughter of Princess Chang's fat Chengqiu has been eating the health preserving medicated diet specially designed for her by the chef. She actually lost more than ten jin. She was able to get fat by drinking water. She actually lost weight. For a while, many expensive women fell in love with eating Jinxuan.
After the winter, Shen Jingli let Mu Chen introduce hot pot, business is unprecedented good.
There was a hot pot in Dayan Dynasty, but the bottom of the pot is very simple, it is a simple soup pot, and the ingredients are not rich. Therefore, in addition to warm body in winter, few people go to eat hotpot. The main hot pot produced by shijinxuan is Yuanyang pot, which is made by Shen Jingli and the chef after several experiments. The unique formula is unique and delicious, attracting many customers People.
Even the emperor went out of the palace in humble clothes and stayed in the food brocade Pavilion for a few days. When he left, he was still very excited and waved his hands, leaving them with calligraphy. With the Zizhen shop inscribed by the Emperor himself, their restaurant business was booming.
Shen Jingli again and again to the number on the account book, the smile on his face has never stopped.
Mu Chen sits on the Kang with xun'er in his arms and tells stories to his children with picture books. The little guy is very active and restless. He twists and turns in Mu Chen's arms and wants to run down to play. But mu Chen is worried that he will get cold outside. He refuses to let him go. The little guy asks for help from Shen Jingli, "am, am, hug."
Mu Jin and Chen Jianxiu were at home. As soon as they entered the door, they heard xun'er's voice. They rushed up and hugged their nephew and coaxed them: "xun'er, what's the matter? Is your father bullying you? You tell Uncle, uncle help you beat him
"Uncle." Xun'er leaned over and rubbed Mu Jin's face.
Chen Jian also likes xun'er very much. When he looks at xun'er, he will think of his younger brother who is far away in Daping village of Jiangcheng city. He doesn't know how his mother and his mother are doing. Whether his younger brother is fat or thin, his eyes flash and he picks up a wave drum to amuse xun'er.
Mu Chen looked up at them and said, "don't take him outside." Mu Jin responded with a good voice, then went to the Kang, accompanied Xun zhen'er to make mischief.
When Shen Jingli finished the account, he saw that Mu Chen changed his clothes and seemed to be ready to go out. He was puzzled, "what's the matter with you today?"
"King Jing asked me to have tea."
Shen Jingli raised eyebrows and felt that King Jing asked Mu Chen to have tea a lot. Although Mu Chen has no business to do at present, don't they need to avoid suspicion?
Time flies. In a flash, it is the Laba Festival. On this day, the Mu family finally came to ask Mu Chen to go back to his house and said that it was the old prince who wanted to see him.
Shen Jingli felt very strange. After returning to Beijing for several months, the Mu family had always turned a blind eye to it. How could they suddenly meet Mu Chen today? And just to see Mu Chen, the boy who came to invite people didn't even mention Mu Jin, let alone he and xun'er?
"Have you done something to annoy the old prince?" Shen Jingli waited on Mu Chen to change a new dress. He asked curiously.
"I've got the rent of that 100 mu field outside Nancheng." After he made military achievements as a general, the Emperor gave him the land. There was no reason why the Mu family's people were cheap. Therefore, before the winter came, he asked the Mu family to collect the rent. For a 100 mu field, 60% of the rent was collected. That was a lot of food. At least, it could be sold for tens of thousands of Liang silver. No wonder the old prince was angry."Is the Mu family short of rent?" Can't you give up tens of thousands of liang of silver? "If you don't want to give it to me, it's just not willing to give it to me." Mu Chen sneered at him. It was just because he was in the military camp all the year round and left it to his mother to take care of it. After his mother was sent down to the court, all the shops and farms in his name, together with his mother's dowry, were put into the public, and he would not spend any money on him.
Shen Jingli was astonished. Some of them didn't understand Mu's idea. Mu Chen was her grandson at all times. She always respected her very much. How could she not get her love?
People's heart is really a very delicate thing. Some people will never think that you are good because you do well. The better you do, the more unpleasant she will be.
"Are you going to have a showdown with her?" The old prince asked him to go back. He was afraid that he wanted to beat him well.
"I'm not the one who can let her take it at will."
Shen Jingli nodded clearly, and Mu Chen became cruel. It was beyond the ordinary people's endurance. He suddenly stopped worrying and called the boy to prepare the carriage.
After dressing up, Mu Chen went out of the door, and the servant of the Mu family was waiting at the gate, but mu Chenli ignored him and went directly to the Mu house in the carriage of the Yang family.
The old housekeeper of Mu's house is an old soldier under his command. He injured his foot in the battlefield. After he retired from the army, he became a steward of the Mu family. Later, he became the housekeeper. When he saw Mu Chen, he immediately burst into tears.
"Young master, are you finally back? How are you doing in southern Xinjiang? What about Madame and young master Jin? " It is said that the road to southern Xinjiang is very dangerous. He is also attacked by mountain bandits and assassinated. He is worried about the safety of his wife and young master all day long. He is afraid that his wife and young master will have an accident.
My mother died. "Mu Chen said calmly.
The old housekeeper was shocked and said nothing. Looking at Mu Chen's peaceful face, he thought he was pretending to be strong and patted him on the shoulder to show his comfort.
Mu Chen did not speak. Soon, a boy came out and led him to the old prince's green pine yard.
The old prince sat on the throne as if he had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as she saw him coming in, she immediately darkened her face and hit the floor with her imperial crutch.
Mu Chen was not deterred. He saluted calmly and sat down in the next seat. He asked quietly, "I don't know what's the matter with the old prince calling his grandson back in such a hurry?"
If you don't know how to sit on the floor, you can't see the old lady's face
"Of course there are. I'm afraid my grandson is not in my grandmother's eyes." Mu Chen said lightly.
He didn't even give him tea. It was like a beggar who sent him to the door. His eyes flashed with cold light and kept a light smile.
Mr. Mu was so choked up that he breathed quickly, as if he would faint in the next second. The mammy next to him came forward and patted her on the back to help her. Then he turned to teach Mr. Mu Chen: "young master, Mr. Mu is not in good health. How can you say such treacherous words to annoy her?" treason and heresy? To tell you the truth, it's immoral?
Mu Chen was amused and glanced up at the Mammy. The mammy immediately felt like the prey that fierce animals were staring at. She was stiff and afraid to move. She leaned back to the old prince, and her heart pounded. She said in her heart that the second young master went to southern Xinjiang, and the whole person seemed to be sharper. Her eyes were like a terrifying beast.
"If my grandmother has nothing to do, my grandson will go back first." His time is precious. Mu Chen stood up slowly.
Mu Laotai Jun heard this and was not angry. He said to Mu Chen, "you are a evil creature. Kneel down for me." Mu Chen raised his eyes and gazed at mu Laotai Jun with no trace of temperature under his eyes.
"What is your attitude?" Mu Laotai Jun's face was ferocious, and he snorted coldly, "it's really a good son taught by Yang's family. He doesn't understand the manners at all. The daughter of a small family just doesn't understand the rules."
Hearing her scolding his mother, Mu Chen's eyes became colder. He hooked his lips and said, "the dead are dead. I hope the old prince will show mercy."
He tried very hard to suppress himself, so that he did not get angry. If the man in front of him was not his grandmother, he might have waved his fist in the past, but the man in front of him was his grandmother. If he really hurt her, the world would accuse him of being unfilial, thus implicating his grandfather's family.
"You, you, you..." Mu Laojun stretched out his trembling finger at Mu Chen. Obviously, he was angry with Mu Chen's attitude, "you, you, you, you, you, are really against the sky."
She tried to take a deep breath and said, "do you think you took the rent of the 100 mu farmland in the south of the city?"
"It's a reward for my land. What's wrong with me to collect rent?" Mu Chen smiles and says plainly.
You have been expelled from your home. Everything in Zhenyuan Houfu has nothing to do with you. Mrs. Mu bumped into her crutch again. "Your land has been returned to the public and is no longer yours."
