Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

In the lobby of Fangtai Building, if diners want to eat hot pot with sauce, they have to go to the specially designated sauce area to make their own sauce.

In the private rooms, the waiter will bring a special tray with nine kinds of condiments in small bowls for diners to use.

Chen Jia made a homemade seasoning and handed it to the other person, "For you?"

"No need." He shook his head. "Just eat it like this."

Chen Jia did not force it, thinking that the other party had never seen the world and was rigid and conservative, so he would naturally not be able to accept new things.

Once he tastes it, he will find it really delicious.

The Regent had no idea that the person opposite him was secretly complaining. He held the small bowl and tasted the delicious food elegantly, looking relaxed and at ease.

Halfway through the meal, Chen Jia couldn't stand the spiciness anymore and pushed the window open completely. The biting cold wind blew away the white mist in the room, but it couldn't extinguish the anger rising in her heart.

This body had never tasted chili peppers before. She took it for granted. The spiciness made her lips hurt and her whole body numb.

Chen Jia couldn't help but start to moan "shashasha". She slowly walked to the window and felt the cold wind blowing over her head, which made her shiver.

Chen Jia:……

He walked away from the window as if nothing had happened and sat back down.

"Try this cherry curd. It is said that this dessert is very popular among noble ladies." The Regent pushed a small bowl of cherry curd over and smiled knowingly, "I think it will help you feel better."

Cherry nipple not only has a nice name, but also has a beautiful appearance.

The chopped cherry pieces are soaked in milky white milk, which makes people want to drink it at first sight.

This bowl of cherry milk was at room temperature, and drinking it just relieved the spicy stimulation, making Chen Jia feel much more comfortable.

Fangtailou's hotpot has an authentic flavor. In this era when cooking basically uses no seasoning, you can imagine how popular it is.

I don’t know when the heroine will open Fangtailou to Kyoto.

Cui Yuanyuan: I really will thank you!

Her business empire did expand as planned. She ran not only the maritime caravans and auction venues, but also brothels, taverns, and hotpot pharmacies successfully.

It is no exaggeration to say that she has a treasure trove that makes a fortune every day.

Unfortunately, she took too big a step and was targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

The cornucopia was indeed making money, but it was not for her.

Cui Yuanyuan never knew that commercial taxes were so tiring. The court collected taxes under many pretexts. The more she earned, the higher the tax she had to pay.

Only by following the path of the Minister of Revenue could one successfully open a store in Kyoto, where every inch of land is valuable. Most of the stores that could open stores in Kyoto had the support of princes and nobles.

Cui Yuanyuan didn't want to be exposed, but also wanted to run the business smoothly, so he found a way to use connections.

This relationship cost her three boxes of gold and silver, but did not protect her for long.

She had just heard that the Minister of Revenue was thrown into prison for corruption, and before she could recover from the shock, the Minister of Revenue was beheaded and a new Minister of Revenue took office.

The new minister led the imperial guards to search all the shops in Kyoto thoroughly.

All shops not only face high fines, but also have to make up the unpaid taxes.

Cui Yuanyuan was confused at the time, and since he did have that much money in his pocket, he paid the bill obediently. He did not dare to use the same old trick to bribe the new minister.

Her wait-and-see attitude was right. The Minister of Revenue lay dormant for half a month and suddenly took drastic action with great force and determination.

The nobles behind the store: I feel so bad! Now they are forced to keep fighting for survival, and even though the pain is severe, it is not as important as losing their lives.

Cui Yuanyuan finally understood how powerful this regent who held tight control over the government was!

When the civil and military officials met him, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and were vulnerable to any blow.

No wonder the three tutors left by the late emperor could not check and balance him!

Among them is her unfortunate grandfather, Master Cui.

All I can say is that the three tutors deserved their defeat.

It was because she underestimated the wisdom of the ancients that she lost in this confrontation.

What Cui Yuanyuan didn't expect was that no matter what she did, the other party seemed to have a pair of eyes, following her like a shadow. She had to pay the high tax!

Cui Yuanyuan felt sympathetic, thinking that she had relied on her domineering aura to recruit helpers everywhere and had almost no problems, but she was defeated by the regent whom she had never met.

She is so frustrated!

Cui Yuanyuan swallowed all her resentment. She believed that one day the regent would be taken down. After all, she was the destined heroine.

Cui Yuanyuan has this confidence.

Over there, Chen Jia put on a fox fur coat, covering her whole body and head tightly, "Let's go."

It’s getting late, go back and take a shower and go to bed.

This is a lazy benefit in winter.

Fuyun put down the footstool, Chen Jia stepped on it and got in, and the Regent followed her in.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Jia was the first to laugh. The Regent looked at her in confusion, not understanding why the lady suddenly laughed.

Chen Jia held the hand warmer and sniffed hard, "Have you noticed that the car is filled with the aroma of hot pot..."

She raised her hand and sniffed her sleeve, then leaned closer to him, her beautiful nose twitching, "You smell like this, too, just like me!"

Unexpectedly, the Regent, who was scented with the elegant orchid fragrance, could not escape the strong and rich smell after eating hot pot!

The Regent sniffed it imperceptibly, and along with the smell of the hot pot, the subtle and light body fragrance of the girl wafted into his nose.

He closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and put his hand on her head, "Stand back—"

Chen Jia followed the force and sat back down. Knowing that the person in front of her didn't like people getting too close to her, she didn't force him, nor did she show any unhappiness.

It only took half a cup of tea to take a carriage from Fangtai Building to the villa.

Chen Jia felt a little tired and stretched lazily. Fuyun lifted the curtain of the carriage and the Regent went out first, giving her some time to tidy up her appearance.

Chen Jia got out of the carriage, which was supposed to be a breeze, but she accidentally stepped on the hem of the fox fur coat and fell forward.

"Ah——" She was caught off guard and quickly closed her eyes.

The petite girl threw herself into the man's tall and broad arms and was held tightly in his arms.

He looked down and saw the girl's eyes were tightly closed. He couldn't help but laugh, "You can open your eyes now."

Chen Jia realized it later and fell into the other person's arms, and her ears were hot. She pushed him away immediately, but found that he was holding her very tightly and she couldn't break free.

"You - can let go -" Chen Jia muttered softly, lowering her head, not daring to meet his smiling eyes.

"Cough cough..." The Regent loosened his hand, put his fist against his lips to cover up, and pretended to cough lightly to ease the embarrassment on both sides.

"Come in, why are you standing at the door?" Chen Jia said this and ran in quickly, lifting her skirt.

The Regent glanced at the dumbfounded Fu Yun and the other two with a nonchalant look, and they immediately lowered their jaws and tried to remain calm.

However, their master walked in without looking back and ignored the two slightly stupid people.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh..." Chen Jia remained calm all the way, washed up and went to bed calmly. She couldn't help but roll around in the quilt, and a series of screams rang out in her heart.

It wasn't the wind that was moving, nor the flags that were moving, it was probably her heart that was in turmoil...
