Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Juxianlou is the largest restaurant in Hongyuan County.

The pavilions, towers, rockery and flowing water have a certain elegance of Jiangnan gardens.

Although Chen Shao kept a low profile, she was watched by many people. Since she entered Rongfa Trading Company, the news spread like wildfire.

Manager Zhou of Juxianlou sat behind the counter, looking at the packed lobby, and sighed, "If Lord Chen is willing to condescend to come to Juxianlou, I would be willing to die."

The guest who just entered the room heard this and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "The shopkeeper is too greedy. He is not satisfied with so many guests."

Shopkeeper Zhou snorted, "What do you know?"

No matter how good the business is, only the lobby, the private rooms upstairs and the courtyard at the back are still empty.

Besides, can the business of a restaurant that has been visited by important people be compared?

That is the glory that brings honor to the family!

The guest said, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, boss. You just think that we sitting in the lobby can't order a few dishes, can't drink any good wine, and can't let you make a lot of money."

You know what I mean? Shopkeeper Zhou put on a fake smile and said, "If you mess around with me again, there won't be any seats left."

When the guest heard this, he quickly ordered two dishes and a pot of wine, and went back to the corner where he usually sat.

Shopkeeper Zhou grumbled twice, looked out the door, and continued to sigh: Since he became the shopkeeper of Juxian Building, the boss has always trusted him. He has always wanted to repay the boss, but he doesn't know how. If Mr. Chen can come to Juxian Building...

"Here he comes, here he comes, Shopkeeper Zhou, come out quickly!" As if hearing his thoughts, the waiter who was welcoming guests at the door suddenly rushed in like crazy and shouted, "Master Chen is coming to the restaurant!"

Master Chen is here? Shopkeeper Zhou was startled and rushed out from behind the counter holding his hat and hat, shouting, "Stop busying yourself, come out and greet Master Chen!"

The waiters who were serving food and wine immediately followed him out, and the guests who were eating also followed him out in twos and threes.

Seeing the carriage getting closer, Manager Zhou and a group of people knelt on the ground.

Li Tianliu stepped aside with a cold face.

The carriage stopped in front of Manager Zhou.

Chen Shao got off the carriage, saw this scene, glanced around, and couldn't help but joked: "Such a big scene... What kind of grievance has the shopkeeper suffered? Why don't you tell me? If it's reasonable, I will make the decision for you."

"Your Excellency is too kind," Shopkeeper Zhou stood up, called the people behind him to stand up, and then called out to the people on the street who were kneeling on the ground without knowing why, then he took two steps back and said excitedly, "Your Excellency's visit to Juxian Tower is really a great honor to our store, please come in quickly, please."

"It's too big a scene. I can't handle it." Chen Shao stood still. "Boss, you should tell me your grievances first."

Shopkeeper Zhou said awkwardly, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I have no grievances. I have heard of your divine appearance for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it in my lifetime. I was excited and lost my composure just now. Please forgive me, sir."

"Shopkeeper, you have heard of my beauty, and I have also heard of the reputation of Juxian Restaurant." Chen Shao stopped joking and walked towards the restaurant, saying, "Shopkeeper, don't be shy. Just bring us the good wine and food. If we really live up to our reputation, you will definitely get some benefits."

When Shopkeeper Zhou heard this, he burst into laughter. As he walked towards her, he instructed the waiter, "Go and notify the kitchen staff and have them serve their specialties! And tell Manager Qian to dig out the jar of wine that I buried in the bamboo forest!"

Shopkeeper Zhou was about to meet her and go to the elegant courtyard in the back. After Chen Shao stood in the lobby and looked around, he asked, "Is there any room upstairs?"

Shopkeeper Zhou said hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

Chen Shao said: "Then let's go upstairs."

Juxian Building has three floors facing the street.

The third floor is a private room decorated with colorful screens, famous paintings and various bonsais, so they charge more for tables and chairs than the lobby, and usually almost no one comes up there.

Chen Shao went up to the third floor, took a quick look at the layout, and then sat in a private seat facing the street.

Chan Yi, Fu Jiu and Li Tianliu sat at the same table with her. The twelve Yu Lin guards followed them and sat down at tables of four, one on the left, one on the right and one in front.

After settling them down, Shopkeeper Zhou brought the waiters to serve tea, then tactfully retreated downstairs to supervise the kitchen.

Not long after he went to the kitchen, groups of students suddenly rushed into the restaurant like a spring breeze, and then rushed to the second floor with a clear goal. After the second floor was full, the students began to scramble for seats on the first floor. In the end, they began to bid high prices for the seats of the guests who were still eating.

When Shopkeeper Zhou came out of the kitchen, he saw the room full of students and asked the waiter in astonishment what was going on. After the waiter explained the situation, Shopkeeper Zhou glanced upstairs for a few times, and then he immediately ordered the waiter, "Go to the study and buy pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones. Buy them all, no matter what the quality is!"

Although the waiter didn't understand why, he still went there excitedly.

third floor.

Through the gaps in the bamboo curtains, Chen Shao had already seen the scene of students swarming in. At first, she thought it was some kind of dinner party at the Imperial College, until she heard the poems and songs they recited, and then she suddenly understood their purpose.

A group of people who wanted to take a shortcut through her.

Unfortunately, they are destined to "play the lute to a cow".

She doesn't understand poetry or songs.

Although she had been here for seventeen years, she had spent the first fifteen years learning martial arts and medicine with Huiyin, and the last two years learning Chen Zhao's behavior and court politics. As for poetry, she could recite Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and Yuan opera, but she was unable to appreciate them.

"With so many students," Li Tianliu snorted and laughed, "Master Chen Liu charges them one tael of silver per person, which is also a considerable income."

Chan Yi smiled and counterattacked: "General Li, are you envious?"

Li Tianliu looked at her coldly.

Chan Yi picked up the teapot, refilled his tea and said, "General Li, there is no need to be envious. After all, there are only a few people like our young master who are outstanding and can only be admired. Compared with others, General Li is still very good."

Li Tianliu laughed angrily, "He is good at both medicine and martial arts, no wonder he is so eloquent!"

Chan Yi pretended to be surprised: "General Li, you envy me too? That's really unnecessary. I'm just a little girl, I can't bear it."

Chen Shao ignored their quarrel; her attention was focused downstairs.

With so many students, it was impossible for all of them to be able to compose poetry and prose. She wanted to hear if they would talk about anything else, such as Mr. Shi.

Perhaps someone heard her thoughts, because in the midst of the poetry recitation and composition, someone suddenly said, "If you want to attract Lord Chen's attention, you can't just show off. You should learn more from Tao Ming, Xu Xianmin and the others."

Someone else asked, "What are you learning from them? Are you learning how to flatter others and always get first place, but always get last place in the ten-day and monthly exams?"
