Chapter 67: Lady Zhen appears again
The person who came in was Madam Zhen who was driven out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Su Qianqian watched her searching among the diners, her eyes locked on an old woman with gray hair, and she hurried over. Next to the old woman sat a middle-aged man, but his appearance was slightly different from that of a Da Qi person.
Su Qianqian followed the Qin siblings into the private room without saying a word.
[System, do you know who Madam Zhen met? 】
Su Qianqian asked this question in her heart. The Qin brothers and sisters were secretly surprised, but they didn't dare to show it. They didn't notice Madam Zhen at all.
[The man that Madam Zhen met was a businessman from the Great Zhou, and the old woman was a matchmaker who introduced business.
Because the textile technology of the Great Zhou was relatively backward, merchants mostly transported cloth and embroidery from the Great Qi to sell back. Madam Zhen is now an embroiderer at Madam Xu's embroidery workshop. 】The system replied.
[Even if a merchant came to buy embroidery, he should have gone to Madam Xu. Why was it Madam Zhen who came to meet the merchant? 】Su Qianqian was puzzled.
At this time, the waiter was ordering food for them. Qin Yuzhuo and Qin Yuping were greedy, and they remembered which dishes were delicious in this restaurant. They reported them to the waiter skillfully, but their ears were listening to Su Qianqian and the system talking.
Madam Xu thinks highly of Madam Zhen. She is good at embroidery, so she asked her to negotiate prices with the merchants from Da Zhou. However, Madam Zhen has other ideas. 】
The system sound is a bit thief.
[Da Zhou, Daliang and Da Qi were neighboring countries. Da Zhou never participated in the wars between Daliang and Da Qi, so Da Zhou, Da Qi and Daliang were able to communicate with each other.
If one wants to go to Daliang, the only way is to go through Dazhou. Madam Zhen wants to go to Daliang and wants merchants from Dazhou to take her with them. She is willing to use embroidery as travel expenses. This is a method she learned after asking many people. 】
The system said.
The Qin brothers and sisters were all surprised and didn't understand why Madam Zhen wanted to go to Daliang.
[Although Daliang has been defeated and surrendered, it will soon come to pay tribute, but those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Going to Daliang will inevitably be full of dangers. Why should she go to Daliang? 】
Su Qianqian continued to ask, kicking the peak who was pulling at the corner of her robe with his claws.
[Mrs. Zhen said that she had two orphans from her relatives' families who needed her to raise. With her embroidery skills, she could earn more money in Da Zhou. She asked the merchant to give them a ride. The merchant agreed, and then they talked about embroidery products. 】
The system sounded active because Su Qianqian didn't like Dianfeng that much.
[Where she goes has nothing to do with us. Let’s eat first, then eat melons. Xiaotong, look at what melons are here? 】
Su Qianqian saw that the dishes had already been served. Qin Yuzhuo first served her a bowl of fish sashimi soup. She put it in her mouth and tasted it carefully. She instantly felt the taste buds on her tongue dancing. It was so delicious!
The dishes cooked by the cook in the Marquis' Mansion were already of top quality, as they were hired at great expense. However, when it came to the fish sashimi soup, it was far inferior to that in this restaurant.
It can be seen that some people are gifted with extraordinary talents, while others are gifted with only one cake. When it comes to cooking, God gives her only one cake: as long as she doesn't starve to death, that's enough.
[My lady, there are so many melons in this restaurant! Let me first talk about the clerk who paid the bill with fingerprints on his face...】
"Woo woo..." Dianfeng's sad cry interrupted the system's narration. Su Qianqian turned her head and saw that Dianfeng had jumped onto the chair and was looking at Su Qianqian eagerly with tears in his eyes.
Su Qianqian: ...
Qin Yuqi and Qin Yuping couldn't bear it, so they picked up a piece of bone and threw it on the ground. Dian Feng just took a look and raised his head proudly.
It was difficult to educate children outside and would make people laugh at them, so Su Qianqian had no choice but to take a small plate, scoop some fish sashimi soup for Dianfeng and put it on the chair.
"This is my biggest concession. When people eat with dogs, it's usually the people at the table and the dog is on the plate. Think about it."
Su Qianqian warned in a low voice.
Dianfeng lowered his head and whimpered a few times in grievance, then squatted on a chair and started eating fish sashimi soup.
[Bah!] Still nitpicking, do you think this is your...
The system shut up.
The Qin siblings looked at each other in confusion, not daring to ask or speak.
[Continue to eat melon!] 】Su Qianqian ate heartily without any burden.
[The recorder of the Ministry of Works was originally hosting a banquet upstairs for Zuo Xuan of the Ministry of Personnel today, and he also invited several colleagues, including his immediate superior.
Just because of the bragging of Zuo Xuan, the Minister of Personnel, the immediate superior of the clerk of the Ministry of Works was about to be promoted. He could speak on behalf of the clerk of the Ministry of Works for this position as long as his immediate superior submitted a letter of recommendation before leaving.
This clerk from the Ministry of Works was so attentive that he didn't notice that his boss was drinking alone with a sad face. His boss thought that this subordinate knew that he was going to be sent away and came to comfort him. The clerk from the Ministry of Works thought that his boss was being humble and was reluctant to leave them!
As a result, the clerk from the Ministry of Works congratulated his boss on his upcoming promotion, and asked him to trust him and recommend him as his successor in the future. He said he would work hard to do a good job and not let his boss down, and was even prepared to surpass his boss. His boss thought this was a blatant mockery, and he was so angry that he almost died!
His boss slammed the table and left, going home to write a bad review for the work of the clerk in the Ministry of Works. Not only will the clerk in the Ministry of Works not be promoted in the future, he might even be demoted. He went to the Ministry of Personnel's Zuo Xuan to settle the score on the spot, and was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left without even paying for the banquet.
Zuo Xuan of the Ministry of Personnel realized that he had heard the wrong news, so he pretended to chase the clerk of the Ministry of Works and slipped away. Others also found excuses to leave.
There was a colleague who loved to eat and drink for free but was stingy. We didn't invite him, but he heard that we were coming. He came late and was busy eating, so he ran slowly and was stopped by the waiter to pay the bill.
He found a string of money on him, which was the money his wife had saved when she asked him to go to work and rent a car. He had no choice but to pawn his robe at the restaurant. With patches on his underpants, he covered his face tightly and went back to get the money to redeem his robe, and he did not forget to pack up the leftovers.
This is the clerk who is checking out the bill downstairs. The finger marks on his face are from being beaten by his fierce wife. He is counting a bag of copper coins on the counter. 】
The system paused for a moment and started laughing again: [Hahaha, the waiter who followed behind for fear that he would run away was really a bit stupid. He followed him too closely and entered the person's yard. He was beaten by the woman and is now squatting outside the kitchen crying. 】
[Hahaha, that clerk from the Ministry of Works flattered the horse and got kicked by the horse's leg. This guy just came here to cushion the horse's legs! 】
Su Qianqian was laughing happily in her heart and picking up things with chopsticks happily. She didn't wear men's clothes in the house. She thought she could pretend to have amnesia for the time being and let the rules go for the time being.
The Qin siblings were enjoying the melon so much that they had no time to care about Su Qianqian's manners. Besides, there weren't so many rules in their mansion. Qin Yuzhuo even pretended to ask the waiter to urge the food to be served. He stood at the corridor fence and looked at the clerk downstairs, who was counting money outside the counter with a sad face.
[After eating the melon of a local minor official, they ate the melon of a foreigner. The two businessmen from the Daqian country in the private room next door were full an hour ago. They spent most of the hour just picking their teeth and refused to pay the bill. The waiter asked the two guests eight times if they needed anything else! 】
[Why don’t they pay the bill? Do they want to have another meal? 】Su Qianqian felt strange.
[The most likely reason for not paying the bill is that you have no money! Both of them want to wait for the other to make a polite move, let's see who has more patience! But there is a person here who is responsible for a murder...】
The system said it in a spooky way.
