Prince Xiao Huang is the legitimate son, but he is in his current awkward position because of the late emperor's stupidity.
Chen Tang is on good terms with him not only because his identity is legitimate, but also because he is pleasing to the eye. Moreover, he and Chen Tang are people of different styles, and neither can take away the other's glory.
"Yuchen," Chen Tang greeted him with his folding fan as he boarded the carriage. "It's truly rare that you'd actually want to go to a restaurant. You've never even set foot inside my Shen family's restaurant."
"It's just that Mr. Yangui's calligraphy and paintings are very famous in the capital. Even the prime minister praises them highly, but I have never seen them. It's a pity." Xiao Huang sat upright, unlike him who seemed to be unable to sit properly no matter how he sat, with a kind of noble laziness.
Chen Tang's eyes darkened. "If that's the case, it's worth collecting a few and making friends with them. Leave it to me."
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Jingchen," Xiao Huang didn't need to be too polite to him.
The two supported each other. The Shen family provided financial support, and he protected the Shen family from being harassed by officials. It was a mutually beneficial relationship that would last for a long time.
Although the two were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the hustle and bustle of traffic when they actually arrived at Yunlaike. The road was extremely congested. Even though servants kept pulling the newly arrived carriages to the back alley, it was not yet the turn of the Shen family's carriage.
Chen Tang and Xiao Huang looked at each other, opened the car window and looked at the Yunlaike restaurant. Unlike the buildings in the capital which were only three stories high, the Yunlaike restaurant was five stories high. One had to look up to see it. The aroma of wine filled the air, and it really felt like a guest from the clouds.
"It's indeed extraordinary," Xiao Huang narrowed his eyes, "but I don't know who is behind it."
"You can't find it anywhere?" Chen Tang was really curious.
Xiao Huang shook his head: "I only know that someone from the royal family is behind this, but who exactly it is is still a mystery."
"If it's really the royal family, then it's not just a business struggle," Chen Tang Folding Fan tapped his hands, his eyes a little dangerous.
He must push Xiao Huang to the position, otherwise the Shen family will be defeated in a moment. He knows very well that a big tree attracts the wind.
As for the person blocking the way, of course you can only give way to him.
There were many carriages, but the Shen family's carriage was the most eye-catching among the crowd. The extremely luxurious gold lines and carriages made it impossible not to look sideways.
However, those who saw it either covered their faces and ran away quickly, or had a bit of an intention to watch the fun. The prosperity of Yunlai Ke naturally affected the Shen family's business. This young master Shen was not very old, but his means were extraordinary. Every business he set his eyes on made money. Those who had challenged him in the past were defeated. Now that he had suffered such a big setback, how could he easily admit defeat? Look, he is here to pick a fight.
Lin Su has been very busy recently. Although the opening of major restaurants has made him a lot of money, there are still many things to do afterwards. Just finding reliable people, renovating buildings, and improving dishes have taken a lot of energy, not to mention the martial arts that he cannot neglect.
In this era, relying on others to protect you is not as good as protecting yourself. Fortunately, there is a system. Otherwise, if I start learning martial arts at such an old age and with such poor foundation, I may not see any results even after studying for several years.
06 is rarely used, and for a while even the data fluctuations are much larger than before.
[Host, Yun Hui, Xiao Huang, and Shen Tang have all come to Yun Lai Ke.] 06 reported. [Yun Hui is alone, while Xiao Huang and Shen Tang came together.]
Lin Su stopped writing. The three people in the original world line had already known each other, and Xiao Huang and the other two had a good impression of Yun Hui, but Xiao Huang's was more obvious, while Chen Tang might not be able to figure out his own feelings.
Lin Su opened the window and looked down from upstairs. On the crowded street outside, the Shen family's carriage really stood out. Among the gray and black carriages, the carriage covered with gold was really like a night pearl in the night.
However, such ostentation was indeed in line with the style of the peacock. After just a cup of tea, the carriage was led by a servant, and a young man who exuded wealth came down from it. His gorgeous clothes could not hide the beauty of his eyebrows and eyes. However, unlike the kindness when Lin Su first met him, there was more scrutiny in Chen Tang's eyes at this time.
After him, another man got off the carriage. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he looked very noble. His height was the same as Shen Tang's, but his temperament was completely different from his flamboyant one.
Prince Xiao Huang.
Later he ascended the throne as emperor.
With such an appearance, he is indeed extraordinary, and he deserves to be the protagonist.
The two were welcomed into the building. After a cup of tea, a low-key and elegant carriage stopped in front of the building. Although it was low-key, the logo of the Shangshu Mansion on it made the servant dare not neglect it.
The protagonist Shou Yunhui's maternal grandfather is the current Minister of War. The old general has great ambitions, but he is a little troubled by the affairs of his children. Therefore, he is extremely fond of Yunhui, the grandson who asks for help.
A man got off the carriage. He was wearing a very elegant white robe embroidered with bamboo. Although he had the demeanor of a scholar, he did not look extremely weak like ordinary scholars. Instead, he looked gentle as jade and had the feeling of strong bamboo.
Before his rebirth, Yun Hui was depressed and frustrated, and suffered hardships. After his rebirth, he was able to relieve his depression through his ambitions for fame and success. Now it seems that he is somewhat relaxed. Although he is still young, he has the spirit of a patriot.
[Host, based on our estimations, they will definitely run into each other.] 06 reminded.
Changing the timeline is likely to bring about a series of changes. Other hosts try to minimize drastic changes to avoid things happening later that will not align with the timeline and become difficult to control. Only this host makes drastic changes, as if he is afraid that the timeline will be cut off.
[Don't worry, the smarter people are, the harder it is to fall deeply in love with someone.] Lin Su wasn't worried that if they met a few more times, they would be forever in love. At most, they would develop feelings for each other, and the more others tried to stop them, the more likely it would be to ruin things.
06 feels that this statement also includes the host himself.
The exterior of Yunlaike was extremely spectacular, and the interior was no less impressive. When Chen Tang stepped into it, the folding fan in his hand paused unconsciously. Although his heart was surging with excitement, he just swallowed lightly and followed the waiter inside.
The lobby was spacious. In the center of one wall hung a highly lifelike painting, signed "Wild Goose Returning." Surrounding it were countless works of calligraphy by other scholars. Seeing the two of them gazing at it, the servant said enthusiastically, "The one hanging on the wall is the top-ranked calligraphy of the day. If the previous ones are not as good as the others, they will be taken down. If you are interested, you may leave your own works for us to appreciate."
"We two need a quieter place," Xiao Huang said calmly.
"Okay, both of you follow me," the waiter warmly invited them to go up to the third floor. The room was surrounded by a screen that looked like glass, but it did not block any light. They could also see the people coming and going downstairs. It was indeed a good seat.
When ordering, it was not like the waiter reading out the names of the dishes as in the past. Instead, we were given a thick menu that was divided into categories, marked with prices, and even had colorful pictures of the dishes.
"This menu is ranked from top to bottom according to the most popular customers, and the same goes for the drinks," said the waiter.
