As there were so many people on the street, it was not suitable to discuss anything, so Yinzhen waved his hand, signaling Deng Weimin and others to disperse, and was about to leave.
However, Deng Weimin tried his best to keep him. Although he was the governor of Shandong and his official rank was not low, he had very few opportunities to interact with the royal princes. What's more, the two people in front of him were powerful princes in the court.
"Master Ninth and Master Tenth, I have already ordered people to prepare wine and food. Please come and have a look, Master Ninth and Master Tenth."
Yinzhen didn't want to agree at first, but the Tenth Prince beside him agreed immediately, so he had to nod in agreement.
As Deng Weimin sat down in a nice-looking restaurant, the Tenth Prince looked around and couldn't help but start complaining.
"I originally thought that the restaurants in Jinan City were all very good, but what's wrong with this restaurant?"
Deng Weimin showed a hint of embarrassment when he heard this, and explained with a smile, "If we talk about restaurants in Jinan city, the best one is Tianxia Restaurant. Oh, that's where you, Master Jiu and Master Shi, are staying."
Speaking of this, Deng Weimin was very confused. According to his subordinates, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were originally living well in the Tianxia Restaurant, but after returning from Baotu Spring yesterday, they asked them to seal off the restaurant and drive out the restaurant's owner, waiters and others.
"Master Shi, this restaurant is the best among all the restaurants in the world. Please be patient with us."
Although Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince revealed their identities, they specifically explained that they were coming in disguise and did not want to make it public. Therefore, Deng Weimin did not dare to say many things or do anything rashly.
Logically speaking, given the status of Yinzhen and the Tenth Prince, they could stay and rest in post stations, government offices, etc., but they did not want too many people to know that they had come to Jinan City, so Deng Weimin was a little embarrassed about how to receive them.
He wanted to hold a lively celebration banquet for them, but he didn't dare to do it.
"Is this the best restaurant besides Tianxia Restaurant? Don't lie to me. I know there is another restaurant called Guanquan Pavilion near Baotu Spring, which is much better than this one," said the Tenth Prince.
"Master Ten is absolutely right. Guanquan Pavilion is indeed much better than this place, and also much better than Tianxia Restaurant. However, it is a little late today, and all the tables at Guanquan Pavilion have been booked. I have already sent a letter to Guanquan Pavilion. If Master Ninth and Master Tenth like it tomorrow, they can stay there to rest," Deng Weimin explained.
Speaking of Guanquan Pavilion, the Tenth Prince became interested and asked, "Who is the owner of Guanquan Pavilion? Do you know him?"
"In reply to Master Ten, I have never met the owner of Guanquan Pavilion, but I have heard a little about it. I heard from people that the owner there is the same person as the owner of a gambling house in the city," Deng Weimin replied.
The Tenth Prince frowned and asked, "How can the owner of a gambling house open such a unique restaurant?"
The general impression given by gambling houses is that they are a hodgepodge of all sorts of people. The Tenth Prince found it hard to believe that such an elegant and unique place as Guanquan Pavilion could have been created by the owner of a gambling house.
Deng Weimin nodded. He usually didn't pay much attention to the business in the city, but it was rumored that the gambling house and Guanquan Pavilion were indeed owned by the same person.
Seeing Deng Weimin's reaction, the Tenth Prince had no choice but to accept this reality no matter how much he couldn't believe it, so he asked again, "Do you know him?"
This time, Deng Weimin shook his head, he really didn’t know him.
