Zhou Xiang and Lin Tao also finished reading the document and asked curiously, "How did Miss Song know... that Lord Jiang has these things?"
Song Liyun chuckled lightly: "Lord Jiang asked Tianxianglou for a thousand taels of silver right off the bat, so he must have some use for it. Besides, Lord Jiang is good at intelligence files."
Zhou Xiang and Lin Tao exchanged a glance: How come they didn't know?
None of that matters; what we need to deal with now is Lin Qingyuan.
This person has an elegant and lofty name, but in reality, he is a genuine playboy.
Song Liyun could deal with wild beasts, and Zhou Xiang and the others could deal with the Di people, but neither of them had ever encountered a纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled, dissolute young man), let alone knew what a纨绔 was capable of doing.
It's like making your own maid embarrass yourself today, what does that mean?
Looking at Lin Qingyuan's information, although his family also owns a restaurant, it is managed by his elder brother. Lin Qingyuan has always been idle and never inquires about the family business, so he doesn't seem to have any designs on Tianxianglou's business.
As for Huang Changsheng... he probably has this idea.
Those who returned from Zuichunlou did not have any useful information. They only knew that Young Master Lin came from the prefectural city, accompanied by several pretty young maids, and that Huang Changsheng of Zuichunlou was serving him attentively.
The girl, Xiao Cui, went back crying. Young Master Lin did not fly into a rage. Instead, he made Xiao Cui repeat what she had said, word by word, in front of everyone, including what Song Liyun had said.
"Upon hearing this, Young Master Lin laughed heartily for a long time, even laughing until tears streamed down his face, and he even imitated the people around him."
Who is this person?
How can you laugh when your personal maid is so embarrassed and disheveled?
Song Liyun, Zhou Xiang, and Lin Tao were all baffled, but given this situation, they should be more wary of this unpredictable young master Lin in the future.
The next day, during the busiest mealtime, Young Master Lin arrived at Tianxiang Restaurant.
The standard attire for a young master going out is essential: guards and servants lead the way, beautiful maids attend to him, and Xiao Cui, who lost face the day before yesterday, is also there.
Lin Qingyuan did not go into a private room, but sat down in the middle of the lobby where people had been waiting in line.
Xiao Cui ordered the same dishes as yesterday again. This time, she didn't fuss about how many lamb testicles and chicken feet she wanted. She wanted all the food that Tianxianglou could provide and just urged them to bring the wine quickly.
Since the visitor was a guest, Lin Qingyuan had not violated the rules of Tianxianglou, so he had to treat him warmly.
However, Zhou Xiang and the others were watching him like he was a thief.
The Lin family is powerful and influential in the prefectural city, but in a small place like Qili County, the soldiers in the garrison may not necessarily acknowledge this relationship. Moreover, the interests of Tianxianglou are directly related to the welfare of the garrison brothers.
If Lin Qingyuan dares to cause trouble, he will be kicked out immediately.
Lin Qingyuan seemed to be aware of Tianxianglou's wariness of him, or perhaps he was simply used to being watched.
As soon as the guards, servants, and maids sat down, they occupied three tables in the center of the hall, drawing disapproving glances from customers at the surrounding tables.
Lin Qingyuan didn't care at all about the way people looked at him, and continued to eat and drink slowly and deliberately.
Xiao Cui's face turned red the moment she stepped into Tianxianglou. She lowered her head and dared not look up. When she saw the mutton in front of her, she wanted to disappear into the ground.
Yesterday, she returned to Zuichunlou and told him everything. Only after the young master had finished laughing did he tell her what those things were.
And they deliberately made me order these dishes.
When she realized she had embarrassed herself in front of so many people, she was so ashamed that she cried her eyes out.
The other maids remained calm and said, "Young Master likes to joke like this with his servants. You're crying like this over just a few words. You'll regret it someday."
What are servants there for? To entertain their masters.
Now, Xiao Cui realizes that the time for her to die has come.
The things she complained about yesterday that Tianxianglou didn't have, are all here today.
These were all ordered by Lin Qingyuan early in the morning, before Tianxianglou even opened.
Now that she already knew what it was, how could a young girl like her possibly eat it?
"Young master, can I...can I not eat?" Xiao Cui's eyes, still swollen from crying yesterday, were filled with tears again, making her look as pitiful as could be.
Lin Qingyuan waved his fan and scoffed at Xiao Cui's pleading: "Didn't you like this stuff a lot yesterday? You even said it was my favorite food."
"Eat! You must eat today!"
Tears streamed down Xiao Cui's face as she trembled as she reached for the skewers, stuffing them into her mouth with her eyes closed.
Actually, the skewers tasted really good. If the young master hadn't said those disgusting things yesterday, she would definitely have thought they were the most delicious food.
At this moment, Xiao Cui felt both scared and disgusted!
Seeing Xiao Cui's disheveled appearance, Lin Qingyuan burst into laughter.
He loved to tease these innocent young girls, dyeing them black and taking virtuous women to bed with him.
The people around stirred, and disgruntled glances were cast their way again: Damn it, we can't even pick them, and you're just playing a trick on us.
This is wasting delicious food and deliberately making things difficult for the young girl.
Zhou Xiang's face darkened. His customers were all enjoying their meal, but now that someone was crying and sobbing, it would ruin everyone's mood.
He stepped forward and said to Lin Qingyuan, "Young Master, there are two private rooms available on the second floor. Please come upstairs!"
Zhou Xiang wasn't good at pleasing people. Knowing that Lin Qingyuan was there to cause trouble, he was already suppressing his anger by saying a few words.
Lin Qingyuan flicked his folding fan, tilted his head, lifted his eyelids, and looked Zhou Xiang up and down before speaking, "I like to eat in the main hall, is that not allowed?"
Zhou Xiang's face immediately darkened, but fortunately he hadn't spoken yet.
A quick-witted waiter hurried forward, poured Lin Qingyuan a cup of wine, and bowed obsequiously, saying, "This humble servant, Qujiang, will serve you, young master."
Young master, you've misunderstood. Guard Zhou just felt that with these four beautiful young ladies by your side, sitting in the main hall with so many people watching, it would be inconvenient for the ladies to do some things.
"It's rare to have two large private rooms available now; they'd be suitable for you, young master, to train your servants."
As expected of a professional, his words gave Lin Qingyuan ample face and respect.
At Tianxianglou, finding a large private room that's available isn't easy; anyone could agree to it at this time.
Unfortunately, Lin Qingyuan is not human.
He slammed his fan down on the table and said with a stern face, "I can go wherever I want. Get out of here. If you keep whining, I'll smash up your shop."
The atmosphere in Tianxiang Tower suddenly became quiet.
Zhou Xiang stepped forward with a stern face, pushed aside the waiter who was still trying to say something nice, and said coldly to Lin Qingyuan: "Young Master Lin is a sensible man. You've come here today to cause trouble, haven't you?"
If Tianxianglou has offended us in any way, please tell us and I will apologize and say sorry.
If this is a deliberate provocation, then I'm truly sorry, but Tianxiang Restaurant does not welcome you.
Lin Qingyuan, accompanied by two guards, stood up abruptly upon hearing this, rolled up his sleeves, clenched his fists, glared, puffed out his cheeks, put his hands on his hips, and swayed his hips, as if he were about to make a move.
After a few moments of silence, the lobby erupted in cheers as all the customers shouted to the waiter, "Come on, waiter, bring us the drinks quickly!"
"Bring our skewers here quickly!"
They were all incredibly excited, as if some grand show was about to begin and the audience below was craving melon seeds and tea.
