Chapter 43 Goodbye Qin Shangyu
Canshang Restaurant officially opened on the first day of December. This distinctive restaurant is extremely eye-catching on Guanyue Street. The plaque was written by Prince Xie, who is well-known in the capital. It attracted a lot of attention right after its opening.
And after they enjoyed the service and food of Shenshang Restaurant, they were full of praise.
Other restaurants were not fully booked, but there were people willing to wait for a table at the Canshang Restaurant. Not to mention the opening activities such as "Essay Contest with Prizes" and "Random Free Meals", which made the people in Beijing feel fresh for a while.
"Whether this restaurant can retain customers during its opening period will determine its survival." Jiang Yuyan nodded to Jiang with satisfaction.
She went to the restaurant for several days in a row, and with her beauty, she attracted a wave of customers, making the name of the Cangshang Restaurant famous. Jiang Yuyan thought that this was equivalent to a modern celebrity endorsement.
The shopkeeper Qian in the store admires his current boss very much. He does whatever he is told to do and is smiling all day long, becoming more and more motivated.
The fame of the Canshang Restaurant grew, and finally it attracted the "unprecedented" person.
Qin Shangyu heard the servants talk about the novelty of the Shenshang Restaurant, and he felt that the method was inexplicably familiar. Perhaps he was still expecting something, and he had already walked to the door of the restaurant in a trance.
He stared at the plaque for a long time. It was not her work.
After a moment's silence, he asked the waiter for a window seat on the second floor.
At this time, there was a beautiful and noble woman sitting on the second floor by the window. Beside her were a dozen sword-wielding guards occupying three or four tables. It was obvious that she was of extraordinary status.
Qin Shangyu was nervous and sat down far away from them, close to the window. But he regretted asking for a private room earlier.
Since Qin Shangyu came in, the woman has been staring at him with a hint of amusement on her lips, as if she saw an interesting prey.
Qin Shangyu's appearance is very consistent with Dayue Kingdom's aesthetic standard for men. His facial features are delicate, but not aggressive.
Qin Shangyu was getting so restless from being stared at that he was about to leave.
A man came forward and said, "Hey, our master wants you to come over for a cup of tea." His tone was very arrogant and disdainful.
Qin Shangyu took a deep breath, looked at the woman, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Thank you for your hospitality, miss. It's just that men and women should not touch each other. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." After saying that, he was about to go downstairs.
The staircase to the second floor was blocked.
The woman put her hands behind her back and slowly approached, saying in a bad tone: "There are many people in Shangjing who want to drink tea with me but can't. How dare you refuse me?"
Qin Shangyu frowned and said earnestly, "I'm sorry, I have something else to do at home, please let me go!"
Seeing that he was not interested, the woman became annoyed and snorted coldly, "Do you know who I am?"
Qin Shangyu lowered his head and said nothing.
"How dare you! This is our Princess Baoyue! Why don't you kneel down and salute!" a guard nearby shouted.
Qin Shangyu's body trembled slightly. Princess Baoyue, Xie Siqi, was the only daughter of the current emperor. It was rumored that she had been pampered since she was a child and was domineering. Now I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it peacefully.
Qin Shangyu's heart was churning, but he knelt down slowly and helplessly, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess! Princess Jin'an!"
Seeing that he had surrendered, Xie Siqi's brows relaxed and she said, "No need for formalities," and reached out to help the man up.
Qin Shangyu dodged it, stood up, and didn't even look at her.
Xie Siqi raised her hands awkwardly in the air, and her face suddenly turned ugly.
"you……"
She was of noble status and proud of her beauty. She was no less beautiful than Hua Xiangxiang, the most beautiful woman in the capital. Many men were obsessed with her, either openly or covertly. How could anyone disrespect her like this?
Feeling unhappy, Xie Siqi became impatient: "Humph! I just want to marry you because you are so pretty... Tell your family today to come with me!"
Qin Shangyu's pupils shrank sharply. "Princess, you can't do that! Although my Qin family is not a wealthy family, we have our own ancestral teachings. You can't serve someone else's husband. Please take back your order!"
"There's nothing I can't get!" Xie Siqi shouted coldly, "Capture him!"
Qin Shangyu was shocked. This Princess Baoyue was unreasonable and actually wanted to abduct someone by force. He quickly took a step back and was already leaning against the windowsill.
Seeing that he was surrounded by guards and had no way to escape, Qin Shangyu's face turned pale.
"Princess, you are from a royal family, how could you do such an impossible thing?!" There was a hint of suppressed anger in her tone.
Xie Siqi sneered, "To force someone to do something? I think you are shameless. I am a princess, and if I serve you, your ancestors will be burned to death. How can you do that?!"
Qin Shangyu's eyes were heavy, and his usually gentle face was also filled with gloom.
"Even if you are a princess, I don't want to!"
After saying that, he turned over and jumped down from the second-floor window sill.
"You!" Xie Siqi was shocked and angry, and quickly asked someone to go downstairs to check.
In order to make the lobby of the Shan Shang Restaurant look spacious and airy, the ceiling was designed to be higher than usual. Although Qin Shangyu was in good health, he had no martial arts skills after all. He fell from the second floor and smashed the small stall downstairs. He also fell to the ground and was unable to stand up.
Passersby were all startled and gathered around.
"Ah...someone jumped off the building..."
Xie Siqi rushed downstairs with her guards and said angrily, "How dare you jump off the building?!"
After saying that, he ordered someone to put Qin Shangyu up.
Jiang Yuyan came out of the shop next door after hearing the noise of someone jumping off the building. She saw two men who looked like guards pulling a young man in white clothes who looked embarrassed and staggered. It was Qin Shangyu who had not been seen for many days!
