Chapter 2215 Delay in Appointing Officials
In other words, very few people knew that the Second Prince had been moved to a different place of imprisonment; most likely only a few of the emperor's closest confidants knew.
However, although the second prince was not rescued, the commotion caused by the prison breakers was quite significant, resulting in casualties on both sides and nearly endangering the common people.
Therefore, the emperor left halfway through the Qionglin Banquet, and the banquet ended hastily as well.
Shu Yu asked curiously, "Then the Emperor must be very busy with the matter of bestowing official titles..."
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "It seems it will be delayed."
However, this is not a big deal and will not have a significant impact on them.
"The most important thing now is that Lu Ji will open in two days. Is everything ready?"
Shu Yu: "Except for the guy on the second floor, we haven't found him yet, everything else is fine."
After all, the plan to use the second floor as a tea room was only decided two days ago, and she has been too busy to implement it in the past few days.
Moreover, the waiters on the first floor and the second floor are different. The main customers on the second floor are scholars and intellectuals, so the waiters should at least have some literacy. They don't need to be brilliant, but they should at least be able to recognize some characters. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the customers couldn't understand their requests.
"No rush. The teahouse has just opened, and we're already familiar with the customers. I'll take care of them for you."
Shu Yu laughed at him, "You are a top scholar in the imperial examination."
"So what? This is my son-in-law Ayu's shop. As the owner's son-in-law, isn't it normal for me to receive guests?"
Shu Yu thought about it and realized it made sense. She was still a county princess, and for the sake of her own shop, she had to personally entertain guests.
With Meng Yunzheng backing her up, Shu Yu felt much more at ease.
She had planned to find a waiter for the second floor after the business opened, but to her surprise, the waiter came to her door the very next day.
Shu Yu and the others are now living in their rented house, and they've brought all their luggage from the small courtyard in the south of the city. According to Ying Xi and Xia Yan, who went to collect the luggage, most of the people who were originally surrounding the area have already dispersed. This is probably because the prison break incident caused such a big stir that the city is now under tight security, and those who were blocking the way were worried about causing further trouble, so they all went back.
However, they still didn't plan to go back to the small courtyard in the south of the city. Since they weren't staying there, Aunt Feng, who helped with cooking and laundry, came to work at the shop here in advance to get familiar with the place.
There was no one at the small courtyard in the south of the city, so Aunt Hong, who was planning to deliver vegetables today, found no one there.
Seeing the empty house, Aunt Hong panicked, thinking that Xiao Songle had left the capital. Then she remembered, didn't Miss Lu say she opened a shop on Futai Street? It was supposed to open in a couple of days.
Aunt Hong went to look for it, and fortunately the shop was easy to find. The fact that it would be open in two days meant that the shop was not yet open.
Along the entire Futai Street, only Lu Ji Shop's door was half-closed, while its signboard was covered with cloth.
Aunt Hong knocked tentatively on the door, and Da Niu, who was busy inside, came out. "Auntie, who are you looking for?"
"Um, is this shop...is it Miss Lu's?" Aunt Hong asked somewhat nervously.
Da Niu nodded. "Yes, this is Lu Ji. What's your name, Auntie?"
"Just call me Aunt Hong." Aunt Hong let out a long breath and handed him the basket in her hand. "I brought you vegetables, all grown by ourselves. I was originally going to deliver them to the small courtyard in the south of the city, but there was no one there, so I came here to look for them."
