After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Having said that, she didn't have time to argue with Xiao Yihang.

Because firecrackers were already being set off below, Xu Fan invited a lion dancer to add to the hype.

It immediately attracted people on the roadside to gather around.

Xu Fan struck the gong and drum and spoke loudly.

"Dear fellow villagers, today we are opening our Cang Yue Hotpot Restaurant. Hotpot is best enjoyed in the cold winter months when you gather with friends and family. It is lively and warm. Today, not only will you enjoy a 20% discount, but you will also receive exquisite gifts. Come in and take a look!"

"Cang Yue Hotpot? So this is the hotpot restaurant that handed out flyers a few days ago!"

"Yes, yes, I received it too. It looks very novel and the price is reasonable. But I don't know what the real thing is like?"

Xu Fan smiled and said, "Come in and take a look to see if it's worth it. I guarantee you will be full of praise after eating it!"

"Does eating hotpot really give away rouge?" a "beautiful" female relative asked.

You know, a box of rouge costs even more than a meal.

"It's genuine. The gift is a lipstick sample similar to rouge. Anyone who uses it will know the effect. Of course, if you don't like lipstick, you can choose other satisfactory gifts!"

"Lipstick? It sounds interesting. Let me go in and take a look!" The "beautiful as a flower" woman took her sweetheart, the "handsome as Pan An" man, and stepped in first.

When they heard that they would give away lipsticks and even other satisfactory gifts, several women brought their families into the hot pot restaurant.

"Boss, what is hot pot?"

Xu Fan replied: "You will know when you go in and take a look. Seeing it in person is much better than what I described. You don't have to pay to see it!"

"Well, I'll go in and take a look!"

Soon, a spicy and fragrant smell wafted from the hot pot restaurant, along with exclamations from inside.

"I really made a profit, I made a profit, there are indeed gifts to be given away, I think the gifts alone are worth a lot of money, I have never heard of such a thing, I have never seen such a thing before!"

"Wow, it's delicious. It's really delicious. It makes me feel warm all over. It's so comfortable!"

"There is such a divine way of eating, wonderful, wonderful! Fill the wine, I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"

Hearing the rave reviews from people inside the store, the customers who were watching outside the store could no longer hold back and rushed in.

For a while, the store was crowded.

Fortunately, Xu Fan was well prepared. He instructed the waiter in an orderly manner to entertain the guests.

Chu Nanyue looked at the customers queuing outside the store and slowly raised the corners of her lips.

She expected a large crowd, but she didn't expect it to be so popular.

She did enough publicity in advance and asked Xu Fan to send people to distribute flyers on the streets.

They also used their spare time to make some small gadgets that were worthless in their time, but were novel and unique to the people here.

Women give small samples of lipstick, mini handmade soap, small pieces of balm...

Children are given educational puzzles, wooden cars, and small airplanes...

The literati and scholars gave her the ancient poems and calligraphy and paintings written by her elder brother...

Taking advantage of the mentality of most people to get a bargain, she grabs the first batch of customers. As long as there are customers, she can guarantee that they will fall in love with hot pot...

Everything seems to be a natural thing, but in fact it is the result of the hard work of the Chu family.

The eldest brother worked hard to create a charming and warm environment.

My younger brother worked day and night to carve various handicrafts.

"I've never eaten anything so novel. All kinds of meat and vegetables cooked in one pot, dipped in this exclusive secret sauce, it's so delicious!"

"No wonder the shopkeeper said hot pot is the best food for winter. The more I eat, the warmer I feel. I don't even want to leave!"

"I finally know what hot pot is. The pot bubbling and steaming over the charcoal fire is hot pot!"

"This boss is so generous that he even gave each table a plate of various pastries. Mmm... they smell so good!"

Vanilla Pavilion also had a steaming hot pot.

Chu Ziyu withdrew his gaze from the first floor, which was bustling with people and extremely popular. He said excitedly: "Ayue, your idea is really good. I didn't expect it to be so popular!"

Chu Nanyue looked at his slightly trembling hands and said with a smile: "What's the use of just having good ideas? What's important is that big brother helps me implement them step by step!"

She has a lot of ideas in her mind.

Then you have to rely on someone to push you!

Practice is worse than watching.

Chu Ziyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "I see that the lipsticks, handmade soaps, etc. you make are very popular among female customers. After our hot pot restaurant is stable, why not open a rouge and powder shop? That will also suit your identity as a woman!"

Chu Nanyue: "......"

Is her elder brother addicted to opening a shop?

However, that was exactly what she meant.

So the two of them hit it off and talked about the specific plan of the rouge and powder shop...

Xiao Yihang tapped the table and interrupted, "I say, two bosses, can you put aside the grand blueprint in your hearts for the time being and entertain our distinguished guests for dinner first?"

He emphasized the word "distinguished guest"!

Chu Ziyu was the first to come back to his senses. He coughed lightly, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Sorry, I want to offer a toast to Prince Chen and the princess. I'll drink it. You guys can do whatever you want!"

After finishing the glass of wine, he suddenly asked Su Xi: "Is the princess satisfied with the Lanshi?"

Su Xi ran around for several days looking for a restaurant for them, but in the end their family let the other party down. He was really sorry, so he specially reserved an exclusive room for her in the new restaurant.

Orchids are holy and elegant, and he felt that they were very consistent with her noble and generous character.

My sister is about to marry into Prince Yan’s mansion, and she needs friends in your circle. The princess is the perfect match!

Chu Nanyue's almond eyes flashed with cunning, and she said meaningfully: "Brother, you are partial. The princess's orchid room is even better than my vanilla pavilion!"

Su Xi glanced at Chu Ziyu, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Chu Ziyu immediately explained: "Where is that? Vanilla Pavilion is the best private room in Cang Yue!"

Chu Nanyue: "......"

A straight man!

"One of the best, one of the best. Just now, Shopkeeper Xu mentioned that it is one of the best private rooms..." Chu Nanyue suddenly felt very tired. She didn't want to pay attention to her cheap brother. "Princess, this tripe is delicious. Come and try it!"

Chu Xi's face did not show any displeasure: "Of course it should be arranged this way, but I still want to thank the eldest master for reserving a private room for me. Mu Mu is inconvenient, so it is indeed not suitable for her to dine in the lobby on the first floor!"

Chu Ziyu replied seriously: "If the young master comes, I can teach him to read and write, so that the princess can talk more with A Yue."

Chu Nanyue: "I don't have time!"

Su Xi:!!!

Chu Ziyu:!!!

Xiao Yihang laughed heartily, not caring about the trouble, "Fourth sister-in-law is quite frank!"

More than just frankness, his bluntness was almost as bad as that of his fourth brother.

Is this what they mean by "people who are close to vermilion are red, and people who are close to ink are black"?

Haha!

Chu Nanyue: Bah!

How could she be someone who could be easily changed by others? She was someone who was untainted by the mud!

"That's not what I meant. I'd like to stay with the princess, but I still have to give Mu Mu acupuncture!"

Chu Ziyu slowed down and said, "Brother, you are not thoughtful enough. The princess can make your own arrangements. You can play the piano, read a book, take a nap... the orchid room has everything you need!"

Su Xi also comforted her: "Mu Mu is sorry to trouble Nan Yue!"

She could tell that Chu Nanyue was having a heart attack. It turned out that she was just being too enthusiastic!

The hot pot meal ended in a weird atmosphere.

When seeing the two off, Chu Nanyue gave Su Xi a bunch of samples.

"Take it back and use it with your aunt. If it works well, I'll give it to you!"

Su Xi smiled: "It looks pretty good. If it works well, I'll ask my mother to recommend it to the noble ladies in Beijing!"

She supported the entire marquisate since she was young. She was not good at dressing up like a woman, but her mother was good!

Xiao Yihang also said: "Please trouble Sister-in-law to pack some for me, and I will take them to my mother!"

So, Chu Nanyue packed a small bag for Xiao Yihang as well.

It was not until the hour of Hai that the hot pot restaurant ended its busy day.

Chu Nanyue said to Chu Ziyu: "Brother, you have been working hard here for several days. Now that the business has been successfully opened, why don't you go home and have a good rest for a few days!"

Chu Ziyu replied: "I live very well here!" Suddenly, he changed the subject and said, "Take Xiangxiang back with you. It's not convenient for her to stay here as a woman!"

Chu Nanyue nodded and asked Xiaotao to notify Xiangxiang.

Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and spoke again: "Ayue, when you have time, tell Xiangxiang not to waste her time on me. I don't need her, whether as a concubine or a slave!"

If he didn't understand it before, then after spending these few days together in the hot pot restaurant, he couldn't see it anymore, which meant he was blind!

Chu Nanyue asked: "Brother, can't you accept serving the pen and ink?"

Chu Ziyu shook his head and said, "I have no interest in romantic affairs with this broken body. Even if I were still the prince of Pingyang Marquis, I would not have many lovers!"

Chu Nanyue understood: "I understand, don't worry, big brother, I will go talk to Sister Xiangxiang!"

"Oh!"

"Miss! Young Master!" Xiaotao, who entered the Vanilla Pavilion with Xiangxiang, quickly spoke up to remind the two people in the pavilion.

Xiang Xiang's usually charming eyes were now filled with a hint of sadness. She stared at Chu Ziyu and said, "So I have become a burden to the eldest master!"

Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "Miss Xiangxiang is not a burden to anyone. Not only that, she is also the benefactor of our Chu family. I am very grateful for Miss Xiangxiang's efforts when the yamen runners came to our Chu family to arrest people that day, but I hope Miss Xiangxiang will not abuse yourself. You are a person who came from the mud and had a bad fate. You finally broke free from the shackles and rushed out of the cage. You should set sail and fly into the sky. Don't fall into another deep pool. I am not worthy, and I am not the right person for you!"

Xiang Xiang said gloomily, "It's just my extravagant wish. How can a person of my background dream of staying by the eldest master's side to serve him?" Suddenly, she smiled nonchalantly, "I've been working day and night in the hot pot restaurant these days, and I'm really bored. I was thinking of going out of town to play tomorrow. Okay, I'm leaving!"

After saying this, she picked up the bag that had fallen on the ground and ran towards the stairs.

Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and finally said nothing.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster!

Chu Nanyue quickly opened the secret door, put a few banknotes in his pocket, and chased after him.

“Sister Xiangxiang…Sister Xiangxiang…wait for me!”

"Xiao Tao, hurry up and follow the girl!" Chu Ziyu said quickly.

Xiao Tao looked at Sizhu who had disappeared long ago. She comforted Chu Ziyu and said, "Don't worry, my lord. Prince Yan left a secret guard for you before he went to war. He is very powerful and can never be found!"

Having said that, after she finished speaking, she still hurriedly moved her short legs to follow.

Her girl now has two followers. It would be embarrassing if she found out that she is useless after comparison!

Chu Ziyu's expression relaxed, and he turned to the door and shouted, "Shi Tou, bring the account book up!"

Chu Nanyue didn't catch up with Xiangxiang, but she smelled a strange fragrance that she had been longing for day and night. She looked around and shouted loudly.

"Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron?"

......

"There's moonlight in front of the bed?"

"Princess, be careful!" Sizhu flew over and blocked a hidden weapon that was attacking her.

"There's an assassin, leave!"

Chu Nanyue took a breath of cold air, stroked her trembling heart, and passively followed the silk and bamboo flying over the eaves and walls...

Damn it! Just because you can't match the code, you can't get angry and kill her, right?

This damn time traveler, I can tell at first glance that he is not a good person.

A shadow appeared from the darkness. He raised his arm and sniffed. Six years had passed. It had been so long that he had almost forgotten that he had a strange scent on him...

He was born as a twin with a special fragrance. He was considered unlucky when he was born and was destined to be the shadow of that person...

Now there are only five people left in this world who can still smell this scent...

A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When Xiangxiang opened her eyes, she found herself tied up on the bed.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" She asked in surprise, looking at the man in black in front of her.

"Who am I? You don't deserve to know! You just need to do what I say! Otherwise, the consequences will not be something you can bear!" the man in black threatened.

A pair of sinister eyes stared at Xiangxiang, like a ghost, revealing a terrifying threat.

"Stop bluffing... Let me go!" Xiang Xiang swallowed her saliva, her scalp was a little hairy with fear, "I'm just an insignificant little woman... Did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Very good, you still dare to question my words. If I don't teach you a lesson, you probably don't know how powerful I am!"

The man in black suddenly burst into laughter.

His laughter was hoarse and dark, extremely harsh, and particularly scary in the silent night.

She was terrified, and what made her even more terrified was that he suddenly raised a lotus flower in his hand that opened and closed.

However, the lotus and flower were all black, emitting a faint glow, and were made of iron, with each petal being extremely sharp...

Xiang Xiang said in horror: "Who are you...what are you going to do..."

The man in black leaned over, leaned close to her ear, and said seductively, "What are you doing? Aren't you eager for this? Isn't this your specialty? Hahaha!"

"No!" Xiangxiang felt the chill beneath her body and twisted her body wildly. Her little face turned pale and she screamed.

"hear"

"Oh!"

"flowering!"

"Hahaha!"

......

Looking at Xiangxiang's twisted little face, the man in black smiled more evilly: "This is the consequence of daring to question me. Don't think about disobeying me. I have a hundred ways to deal with you!"
