Emperor Chongde, who had just looked like he was enjoying the food, immediately lost his expression when he heard these words!
He glanced at Qi Nanyuan and said, "I didn't expect this Hanlan person to come so quickly?!"
Qi Nanyuan put down his chopsticks when he heard Eunuch Zhang's report. Now, hearing his father say this, he couldn't help but frown and said:
"The Hanlan people have always been cunning. Why doesn't Father recall Uncle Nine from the Western Suburbs Camp? That would also put some intimidation on those Hanlan people!"
Emperor Chongde nodded and said:
"Well, he has fought against Han Lan several times before, so he must be more familiar with Han Lan's envoy's behavior. Send someone to ask him to return to the capital."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the unfinished hot pot on the table, sighed, and said:
"Not even letting people enjoy a proper meal, how frustrating it is to be an emperor!
Remember to ask someone to buy some snacks for your mother.
Let's go, I, a poor man, have to gather those old ministers to discuss a countermeasure!"
Crown Prince Qi Nancheng hurriedly stood up, went over to help Emperor Chongde up, and said:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Han Lan was severely defeated by General Zhenyuan half a year ago.
Although Han Lan has heavily guarded the northwest of Xuefeng Mountain, he dares not take a single step forward!"
Emperor Chongde nodded and said, "This is also thanks to General Lan who led his soldiers to guard the northwest!
If we can negotiate this time, the Lan family can return to Beijing and have a happy New Year!"
As they walked out of the private room, they heard a sharp female voice:
"What do you mean? Open your dog eyes and see!
I am your boss's aunt, and he is your boss's eldest brother. We are here to collect the money today!"
This shout attracted all the diners in the private rooms, and they all stood on the corridor to look over there!
Emperor Chongde and Qi Nanyuan looked at each other. The second girl from the Si family might have met a tough opponent!
Shopkeeper Fang glanced at the diners watching the excitement and said to the woman kindly:
"Madam, regardless of whether you are the aunt of the Si family or not, the account books and money of our Yaxu Lao must be handed over together with the return of the boss.
If you come to eat hot pot, we will definitely welcome you sincerely!
Since you are the aunt of Sifu, Fang will give you a discount as a member of the store.
If Madam asks for anything else, I'm afraid I won't be able to comply!"
The wife that Shopkeeper Fang mentioned was none other than Si Junshan’s elder sister, Si Junhong!
After she heard that the second girl had returned from the villa outside the capital, she took advantage of the fact that Zhou wanted her to marry in place of King Mo Ying to bring good luck to him, and forcibly took back Lan's dowry!
This is simply outrageous!
How can an unmarried girl hold so much dowry in her hands?
Those dead things are fine, but the shop that makes money every day is very valuable!
Now that there is no mistress in the mansion, won’t the second girl’s silver shops be allocated by her mother?
After hearing what the shopkeeper said, her face darkened and she said unhappily:
"It's my shop, I can eat whatever I want, but I still need to pay? What a joke!
Besides, when did you, an outsider, ever become the boss of my shop?
Seeing this, Si Jinhao, who was standing aside, also put on the posture of a master and said:
"Now, it's still unknown whether my second sister is dead or alive.
As her older brother, I naturally have to collect the cash and check the accounts for her!
To prevent you servants from being sneaky and embezzling our company's money!"
Ever since he left Jingzhao Prefecture, he had heard people in the prefecture talk about this time and again:
The second young lady opened a shop that made a fortune every day!
Coincidentally, his father recently reduced his monthly salary of ten taels of silver to two taels of silver!
Zhou, who used to secretly give him money, has now become a disabled person. Where is his source of income? How can he support him?
Si Jinhao, who is used to spending money lavishly, how could he bear to be without money?
He ran to talk about this matter to his aunt who always loved him!
The two hit it off immediately and went straight to Longxing Street to find out what was going on!
It wouldn't matter if they didn't see it, but once they did, it really opened their eyes!
Seeing how crowded it was, you had to queue for an hour just to reserve a private room!
How can this be called making a fortune? This is clearly a living gold mine!
The two of them sang in unison, and the diners watching began to discuss:
"I only heard that Yaxu Lao is a shop managed by Anping County. So it turns out that she controls it herself?"
"This girl, before she gets married, she should be more obedient."
"Since my dear brother is asking for it, we should give it to him. After all, it is the Si family's property!"
When Si Junhong and Si Jinhao heard this, their backs straightened up immediately!
Especially Si Jinhao, he didn't expect that he could really take back a shop just by testing it out casually?
Naturally, there are also people who speak out against it:
"Have you forgotten that this shop used to belong to His Royal Highness Prince Heng?
This gift is specially given to the county lady for her contribution in saving the young master's life!
After all, this shop is now the private property of the county lady. When did it become the property of the Si family?
If so, should Princess Anping stay in the rear house and behave herself?
When the flood in Xuzhou caused an epidemic a few days ago, the county lord single-handedly controlled the raging epidemic.
Why didn't you say at that time that she shouldn't show up in public?
Let that fatal disease that is transmitted from person to person spread into the capital!
Don't take advantage of this and say hurtful things here. You have lost your conscience!"
