Chapter 113 [Meeting the Patriarch]

The Yun family's restaurants were investigated and punished one after another, and now the restaurant under He Lin's name has introduced such a new style, which has left an impression on the guests present.

"Huayue Restaurant? Okay, I'll definitely go there in five days."

"I'm tempted to pay them to bring up the sequel immediately. Master He Lin is a master at business!"

The Yun family resorted to these despicable means to grab business, but the residents of Lianzhou believed that the He family, a century-old prestigious family, would not destroy its reputation, not to mention that it was the restaurant opened by He Lin who bravely burned down the Yun family's forbidden flower.

Amidst the tributes and performances, dishes were served one after another, with a proper combination of beef, mutton, seafood, sweet soup and vegetarian food. Jiang Lili's movements seemed gentle while eating, but she ate very quickly. She was so full after the meal that she even fed Guan Yue and Zhang Xiaopang who could not have a big meal.

The He family's patriarch's birthday banquet was also coming to an end. After Jiang Lili had eaten and drunk her fill, she took out a pen and a small notebook and began to collect money: "Come on, friends who want to order flower cakes can come to me now!"

He Shi naturally became the first name in the notebook.

She was a very nice person. After paying the deposit, she helped Jiang Lili maintain order and lend a hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Lili offered to give her a box of flower cakes. The girl then worked even harder as if she had been injected with chicken blood.

This time, the He family arranged a breakfast banquet for everyone, while the evening banquet was a small gathering of the He family members in He Shao's yard.

At the time of Si, after listening to the opera, the guests in the courtyard gradually dispersed.

In this birthday party gift presentation, the two winners, He Jing and He Lin, were equally matched, but excelled in different aspects. In this way, Jiang Lili became the biggest winner behind the scenes.

Jiang Lili was counting the deposit for the flower cakes she had received today, a total of two hundred and seventy taels of silver.

Just as she was busy counting the money, a young lady with delicate features came up to Jiang Lili and said, "Miss Jiang, I am Xinzhi, the personal maid of the master of the He family. Our master invites you to have tea in her courtyard."

"Thank you."

What was supposed to come finally came. Jiang Lili stood up, threw the bags of silver she had received into her backpack, and then walked through the corridor with Xinzhi.

At the same time, the younger generations of the He family had already arrived at He Shao's yard.

He Jing followed his brothers and sisters into the yard. After becoming handsome, he attracted the attention of many maids in the yard.

He Manyu looked at He Jing walking over and saw that He Jing had suddenly grown so much taller. She guessed that He Jing, who was so concerned about his reputation, must have put something in his shoes.

She took advantage of He Jing's inattention, stretched out a foot to block He Jing and tripped him.

He Jing had height-increasing pads in his shoes, which made it easy for him to lose his balance. He was tripped and fell forward.

He Fengqing in front pretended to help He Jing. He thought that He Jing must have had something padding his shoulders because he had become so strong now, so he wanted to take the opportunity to uncover the disguise under He Jing's clothes.

As a result, after exercising to build muscle, He Jing became so strong that He Fengqing's arms couldn't support him at all.

In desperation, He Jing grabbed He Fengqing's belt and clothes.

With a "hiss", the two fell to the ground together. He Jing was now strong and resistant to falls, so he was not hurt at all.

He Fengqing fell hard on his face and arms, his clothes were torn into a big hole, and his belt was broken. He looked very embarrassed.

"elder brother!"

He Manyu bullied He Jing many times, and thought that He Jing was as easy to tease as the skinny monkey he used to be, but she didn't expect that she would be wronged this time.

Her ankle was swollen from the foot she stretched out to trip He Jing.

At this time, He Jing stood up and pulled He Fengqing up with both hands as if he was pulling onions out of dry land. The latter's belt fell to the ground, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

He Fengqing quickly covered the torn hole in his clothes with one hand, and covered the fabric around his waist with another hand, fearing that what he was wearing would fall off. His funny appearance made many of He's brothers and sisters laugh out loud.

He Shao couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked the housekeeper to take this shameful nephew away and change his clothes.

In the past, the He family members who bullied the weak and feared the strong would often tease He Jing, but after this incident, no one dared to target He Jing anymore. They realized that this useless cousin was now really not to be messed with.

It’s just that everyone felt so disappointed at the moment that they couldn’t accept the fact that they were surpassed by this useless cousin.

He Jingfeng walked calmly to the seat, glanced at He Lin, and then chose a seat farthest away from He Lin and sat down.

In everyone's eyes, He Jing's action meant that he was not on good terms with He Lin.

After all, their performance in sending gifts to aunt this time was equally good, and they showed their excellence in different aspects. So the person that aunt would send to the capital this time is a mystery.

He Fangzhi thought for a moment and suddenly came up with an idea. He and He Manyu whispered to his brothers and sisters, "Let's support He Jing and go to the capital with the team later."

He Manyu was puzzled: "Why? He's already so arrogant, and just now he made my brother look bad. If he goes to the capital again, he will be in big trouble."

He Fangzhi said coldly, "Think about it. Is He Jing harder to deal with, or is He Lin harder to deal with? Which of these two will have an easier time gaining a foothold in the capital after going there?"

He Fengqing came over after changing his clothes. Upon hearing the boss's words, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course it's He Lin. Doesn't He Jing have Jiang Lili's guidance behind him? That Miss Jiang is just an exile going to Haizhou. She'll be gone in a few days. She won't be able to guide He Jing for long. If He Jing goes to the capital, it will be too far away and even harder to contact him."

He Manyu finally understood: "I understand! If it's He Jing who goes to the capital, even though He Jing has made great contributions now, he will definitely need someone to guide him in business and accounting. If Big Brother tries hard, he might be able to go to the capital with He Jing."

"Not stupid yet." He Fangzhi said with a cold face.

He Fengqing said flatteringly, "Then we will agree to recommend He Jing to escort the tribute to Xincheng. By the way, let's also mention asking Big Brother to take He Jing with him."

He Fangzhi's followers also responded.

He Fangzhi was already confident: "I would like to thank all my brothers and sisters for their kindness."

He Manyu said with a smile: "Well, big brother, following you means you have meat to eat. You have taken good care of us youngsters over the years. We are most relieved when you go to the capital."

The He family mansion is indeed magnificent, especially the landscape. The flowing water and flowers and green plants complement each other, and the layout is similar to Chang'e's Guanghan Palace, which is very stylish.

When Jiang Lili saw He Shao, she said politely, "Jiang Lili wishes the Patriarch a happy birthday and a long and prosperous life."

Jiang Lili was still quite nervous, after all, she had spent so much money on He Jing.

Everyone else's eyes were focused on Jiang Lili. The He family members who wanted to use Jiang Lili's identity as a fugitive to deceive He Shao thought to themselves that it was bad when they saw Jiang Lili's face.
