Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

The plaque of the milk tea shop was a gift from Concubine Shu.

In recent days, the milk tea shop has been doing good business, which has attracted the attention of Concubine Shu's family.

Thinking that she had not seen her grandson the Ninth Prince for a long time, Concubine Shu's mother ordered people to buy things from the milk tea shop and bring them to the palace for the Ninth Prince to eat.

The Ninth Prince is a natural foodie, as can be seen from the fact that he asked Li Yu to make cat ears for him a few months ago.

So when he saw the milk tea and fried chicken, he immediately put down the nine-ring game he had been playing with for half the morning, washed his hands, and devoured the fried chicken.

Seeing her son eating so happily, Concubine Shu tried some of the food. It tasted really good. The fried chicken was spicy and juicy, the milk tea was rich and mellow, and the sugar-fried hawthorn was sour and sweet, just what she liked.

I'm sure Your Majesty will like it too.

With this idea in mind, Concubine Shu arranged for her personal nanny to go out of the palace to buy a copy, and brought it to Emperor Tianyuan that night.

Sure enough, Emperor Tianyuan praised the fried chicken for being delicious and even ate six pieces in a row.

You know, as an emperor, no matter how much Emperor Tianyuan likes something, he would only eat it with three chopsticks at most.

Now when it came to fried chicken, he actually ate six pieces.

Concubine Shu was very proud and felt that she had made the right decision in giving the "gift". After returning to her palace that night, she decided to give a plaque to the milk tea shop.

One is to demonstrate her grace, and the other is to correspond with Emperor Tianyuan.

At the beginning of the year, Emperor Tianyuan gave her a plaque related to food, and at the end of the year, she gave her another one. They echoed each other, showing their love.

From now on, when people outside talk about this matter, they will only mention her and Emperor Tianyuan’s names, and the empress and other concubines will not be mentioned.

When she thought of this situation, Concubine Shu was happy. She ordered people to complete it that night and gave it as a reward the next morning.

On the plaque were four characters: "Delicious and Fresh", with Concubine Shu's seal in the middle.

Everyone in the milk tea shop, Mr. Xiang, the prince, the queen, and Li Yu did not expect that Concubine Shu would bestow a plaque.

They had originally planned to ask Emperor Tianyuan to grant it, and had even made a plan, determining the time for Emperor Tianyuan to taste milk tea and the place to eat fried chicken, but Concubine Shu was caught off guard and got there first.

They were a little uncomfortable with it, but there was no doubt that the sudden gift of the plaque by Concubine Shu helped them a lot.

Just this morning, there was a rumor in Beijing that the food in their milk tea shop was not clean and people had died after eating it.

This was an obvious rumor, but many people believed it. Several customers who came to the store every day to buy milk tea after the store opened were so scared after hearing the rumor that their faces turned pale and they ran towards the clinic. No matter how the waiter explained, they would not listen.

The other guests were also terrified and their faces turned pale. The ignorant people stood outside and pointed and talked.

The owner of the milk tea shop was appointed by Mr. Xiang. He had never dealt with such matters before, so he could only ask someone to pass a message to Mr. Xiang while he went out in person to appease the customers.

Some customers believed them, but most were skeptical, especially the maids and servants from wealthy families, who pulled at the shopkeeper's clothes to ask for an explanation.

It’s no wonder they are anxious. They are buying these things for their masters at home. If something happens to their masters after eating them, they will not be able to survive.

As the rumor spread, the atmosphere outside the store became more and more tense. Someone in the crowd was clamoring for compensation from the store and said they would not leave unless they were compensated.

Just then, Concubine Shu's reward arrived.

All of a sudden, the person who was shouting at the door of the milk tea shop stopped talking.

A silence.

The people looked at each other, and after the eunuch who presented the plaque left, someone spoke after a while.

"Have you ever eaten anything from a milk tea shop, Madam Shufei?"

"I must have eaten it, otherwise why would Her Majesty award me a plaque!"

"But doesn't it mean that the food in the milk tea shop is unclean and can kill people?"

"That's nonsense, right? I heard that the ladies in the palace would ask someone to taste the food before eating. If it's not clean, Concubine Shu will never eat it."

"It seems like what you said is right..."

The people talked one after another, and gradually regained their sanity during the discussion.

*

Seeing this, Ji Shuo's people who were mixed in the crowd turned from confident to panic.

What's going on? Why would the Concubine Shu in the palace interfere?

Could it be that this store was opened by Concubine Shu?

Even if they had a hundred guts, they would not dare to spread rumors about Concubine Shu!

Even if it wasn't opened by Concubine Shu, now that Concubine Shu said "the food in the milk tea shop is good", they are complaining that it is not good, which is considered to be going against Concubine Shu.

Several people were unsure of what to do and all turned their eyes to their leader.

The man who had been standing here watching the joke for a quarter of an hour ago was now extremely panicked. The person who gave him the money last night only asked him to find trouble at the milk tea shop without telling him the specific situation.

It seems that this cannot be done casually now.

He didn't want to lose his life! Although the other party gave him a lot of money.

An idea suddenly came to his mind, and the man waved to a few people. While the people were discussing heatedly, they sneaked out.

They were so busy leaving that they didn't notice someone was following them secretly.

*

Mr. Xiang sat in the carriage and talked to Li Yu.

"There's something wrong with those guys just now. If we follow them, we should be able to find out who is behind this."

Li Yu: "I don't know who is so anxious."

Mr. Xiang looked serious, "No matter who they are, as long as I find them, I will make sure they don't have an easy time."

Li Yu did not respond.

There is no shop in the inner city without a backstage.

The person who was able to take action when the background of the milk tea shop was unclear must be either a person with a disorderly mind or a powerful person.

But I never expected that this matter was actually solved by Concubine Shu.

The relationship between Concubine Shu and the Queen has always been bad. If Concubine Shu knew that she had inadvertently protected the Prince's shop, she would probably be furious.

*

There were so many people around that Li Yu and Mr. Xiang didn't stay for long and left in their carriage.

The carriage was inconspicuous and passed by the street with no one paying any attention to it.

At the same time, the Ji family.

Ji Shuo listened to the butler's report and was first angry, then panicked.

Concubine Shu gave the plaque? Could it be that the store is related to Concubine Shu?

He had to go and talk to his father-in-law as soon as possible, otherwise if Concubine Shu found out, his life would be difficult. You know, Concubine Shu was not someone you would have to deal with, even more so than the Queen!

At this moment, Ji Shuo regretted why he didn't check things out first before taking action, which resulted in such a big mess.

Without caring too much, Ji Shuo hurried out to find Minister Huang.

*

Three quarters of an hour later, Minister Huang threw a cup at Ji Shuo.

"Trash, all of them are trash!"

Ji Shuo knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

Huang Shangshu cursed for a while and said, "The influence of Concubine Shu is not that wide. You should quickly arrange the follow-up matters, so as not to be found out."

Ji Shuo responded, not even bothering to shake off the dust on his legs, and ran out quickly.

In the palace, Concubine Shu had no idea that she had accidentally scared Shangshu Huang. She was showing off the reward from Emperor Tianyuan to the Queen in the Imperial Garden.
