Chapter 243 Liang Jingyao has made new moves
The drunkard recognized Lin Xiaoyue's voice, put on a coat and went to open the door.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to rest yet?" The drunkard was curious and asked when he opened the door and saw Lin Xiaoyue's head.
Lin Xiaoyue sighed and said, "There are too many people outside, let's go inside and talk."
The drunkard couldn't help but frown. Did something happen to Lin Xiaoyue?
He turned sideways and let Lin Xiaoyue go in first, then closed the door again. "Tell me, what happened?"
Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her eyelids and said with a bitter face: "I can't sleep! When I think of the Queen Mother, I feel that it won't be so easy for Brother Liang to go there."
The drunkard smiled and waved his hands, saying, "I thought, 'Don't worry, Jingyao will be fine!' The bamboo courtyard is surrounded by the Cheetah Army. The Queen Mother has left the palace and has no military power. What's the difference between her and an ordinary person?"
Lin Xiaoyue hesitated and whispered, "What if the Queen Mother wants to seize Brother Liang's military power? After spending some time with her, I always feel that the Queen Mother has great ambitions."
The smile on the drunkard's face instantly vanished. He rested his chin on his hand and pondered, "When the late emperor was seriously ill, the empress dowager briefly helped him review memorials and handle state affairs. The late emperor even praised the empress dowager, saying that if she were a man, she would have been a pillar of state! Other than that, the empress dowager hasn't shown much desire for power. Girl, are you overthinking this? You must never tell these words to outsiders, or you'll lose your head!"
Lin Xiaoyue rubbed her neck in feigned fear and said with a smile, "How dare I? I'm just worried! Dad, if one day the Queen Mother really asks Brother Liang for military power, what will you do?"
The drunkard said lightly, "Then she must be suffering from hysteria. I will prescribe the right medicine to cure her from the disease!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that the drunkard would take action, and she finally let go of her worries.
"Okay, Dad, I feel relieved when you say that. I'll go back and rest first! Dad, you should rest too!" Lin Xiaoyue said as she stood up.
The drunkard said jokingly, "I will definitely help Jingyao with this matter. Look at you, you're such a loser! Go back to sleep!"
Lin Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and returned to her tent with a red face.
The next day, Liang Jingyao came back from the bamboo courtyard early in the morning and went directly to the tent where Jiu Laoguai was resting.
At this time, Lin Xiaoyue was also in the tent, having breakfast with Jiu Laoguai.
"Brother Liang, you're back? Have you had breakfast? Is everything okay in Zhuyuan?" Lin Xiaoyue asked curiously.
Liang Jingyao sat down next to Lin Xiaoyue and said, "I've eaten. There's something going on in the Bamboo Courtyard. Old Wine Monster, please come back with me to the Bamboo Courtyard later. The Queen Mother's old illness has relapsed and she was very noisy last night."
The drunkard understood Empress Dowager Yan's condition, and was especially clear about the Heart-saving Pill. Although it could allow the Empress Dowager's body to recover temporarily, it would not be so short, so Liang Jingyao's words definitely had a hidden meaning!
He nodded in understanding and asked, "It's no problem for me to go back, but the problem is that no one here knows how to take the pulse and treat refugees. How about you find another honest and reliable doctor?"
Liang Jingyao shook his head and said, "No need. Go back and write a prescription for the Queen Mother and come back. There are people in the bamboo courtyard behind to boil medicine for the Queen Mother every day."
The drunkard heaved a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't like staying in the bamboo courtyard.
"Okay then, I'll prepare it right away." The drunkard quickly finished the noodles in the bowl, stood up and went to pack the medicine box.
Lin Xiaoyue looked up and saw Liang Jingyao still watching her eat noodles. She asked embarrassedly, "Brother Liang, is there anything I can help you with?"
Liang Jingyao coughed lightly, easing the momentary awkwardness. "There's something. The restaurant is almost finished with renovations, but we can't open it for the time being. The backyard is empty anyway, so I plan to relocate the old servants from the Bamboo Courtyard there and help promote our restaurant. As long as they're comfortable, we can spread the word when we return to the capital, and we'll have no problem finding customers."
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "You're right! Leave this matter to me. I will definitely make them feel at home! But this way, you're the boss behind Jueweilou. Are you really okay?"
Liang Jingyao said with a smile: "If anyone asks, you can just say that we paid for this restaurant. I don't show up often, so even if they have doubts, they can't say anything without evidence!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After breakfast, Jiu Laoguai followed Liang Jingyao back to the bamboo courtyard, while Lin Xiaoyue helped Chen Yunyun prepare the ingredients for lunch. She planned to go back to the restaurant first.
Lin Xiaoyue took off her apron and said, "Yunyun, this morning, Brother Liang said he wanted the adults in Zhuyuan to live in the newly renovated restaurant. I have to go to the restaurant first to see if there's anything missing. Is it okay for you to be left here alone?"
Chen Yunyun waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I've gotten used to it after yesterday. Go ahead and get busy. Call me anytime if you need me!"
Lin Xiaoyue called Zhan Hu to help Chen Yunyun, and then went to the Jueweilou branch herself.
Because the branch has not officially opened yet, it does not have the Jueweilou sign. However, customers who are familiar with Jueweilou can recognize it as Jueweilou just by the exterior decoration. Therefore, Lin Xiaoyue still admires Gu Mian. The fact that he can do so well in such a short time shows that Gu Mian is not the playboy he appears to be.
Walking into the backyard of the branch, we found that it was very big, bigger and more luxurious than the backyard of Fengshou Grain Store. There were five entrances in total. Except for the first entrance which was the main hall for meeting guests, each entrance behind it had several independent courtyards. The courtyards got bigger as we went further back, and the decoration inside used glass, agate, jadeite, etc.
It can be said that the branch is now fully prepared and is just waiting to open! If it weren't for Emperor Liang's continuous attack on Yangming Town, the branch would have opened for business immediately!
But now with so many adults living here, food has become a problem.
Lin Xiaoyue moved some rice noodles out of the space and put them in the kitchen in the backyard. These rice noodles were moved out from the Fengshou Grain Store and were just right to be placed here.
Thinking about the prank she had played at Fengshou Grain Store, Lin Xiaoyue wanted to go back and check if the shopkeeper and boss there had discovered it.
So, she used space to make herself invisible and went directly to the Harvest Grain Shop.
The speed of space movement was very fast. Fengshou Grain Shop was only a few shops away from the Jueweilou branch, so Lin Xiaoyue felt that she arrived at the backyard of Fengshou Grain Shop in the blink of an eye.
At this time, a war between humans and rats was taking place in the Fengshou Grain Store, with screams of "ah" and the squeaking sounds of rats fleeing everywhere.
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted by the scene before her. She knew that a rat that could dig holes could never be locked up. Why wasn't the previous shopkeeper or boss among these people?
