Chapter 173 If you don't make a lot of money in Beijing, it's a waste of time
When Gao Yuman stepped into Jueyifang again, her face was gloomy under the veil.
After New Year's Eve, the palace would hold a banquet for all ministers, and the ministers could bring their families. She would then go on stage and play the piano, and she needed a nice new dress. After selecting from many shops, she found that only the dresses from Jueyifang were the best looking. She only left because she was so mad at that country bumpkin.
That bumpkin...
Gao Yumen chose an extremely gorgeous dress. When she was paying, she remembered that the shopkeeper Yu had just given a discount to the bumpkin, so she also wanted a discount.
Shopkeeper Yu did not give her a discount.
The maidservant was angry: "Why can you give a discount to that bumpkin, but not to my young lady? My young lady is the granddaughter of the prime minister, but she is not as good as a bumpkin."
Shopkeeper Yu said in embarrassment: "That girl has the Supreme Member Card of Jueyifang. With this card, you can get discounts and gifts when you buy anything in Jueyifang. I am just following the rules. I hope Miss Gao will forgive me."
Gao Yuman heard about the Supreme Member Card for the first time: "How do I get the Supreme Member Card?"
Shopkeeper Yu: "This brand is only in the hands of the boss, and there are only three of them."
The owner of Jueyifang?
Gao Yuman frowned. Others didn't know, but she knew that the owner of Jueyifang was the Princess Xian who followed the prince to the poor fiefdom.
That bumpkin knows Princess Xian?
After coming out of Jueyifang, Ye Tang and his group went to find a restaurant to have dinner.
The restaurant was not big, but the dishes were among the best in the capital, and the prices were ridiculous. To them, the prices were outrageous. A roast duck cost three taels of silver, and a bowl of mutton also cost three taels of silver...
After tasting the dishes, Ye Ping'an felt that the dishes cooked by the chef here were not as delicious as those cooked by his sister.
This meal was a waste.
If the food in ordinary restaurants is so expensive, what about other big restaurants?
What about the inn? What about the snacks? What are the prices?
Jamel Xiao and Ye Peng also didn't like the food in this restaurant.
It’s not that the chefs here are bad at cooking, but that the ingredients are different and the cooking methods are too simple. The dishes don’t have rich tastes and are basically stewed with very few stir-fries. The spicy food is dogwood, which is not as fresh and fragrant as chili peppers.
Ye Tang looked at the dishes on the table and thought that it was no wonder that the peppers and other things that Qin Jinhua sent to the capital last year were sold at such high prices. The prices in the capital were really terrible.
I would be sorry if I didn't make a lot of money.
After tasting the food in this restaurant, Ye Ping'an became more confident about future business.
"Sis, I can't wait to get started."
"Be patient, don't rush, go see grandfather first."
Ye Peng snorted: "He is not your grandfather."
After coming out of the restaurant, Ye Tang and his group were about to go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, but He Songlin proposed to leave to Xiao Jingxuan.
He didn't go to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion, and Xiao Jingxuan didn't stop him.
He Songlin left alone, and Ye Tang guessed that he should go to the palace.
Escorting Xiao Jingxuan to the capital was the task assigned to him by the emperor. Now that the task was completed, he would naturally go to report.
When we arrived at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, it was already completely dark.
Shangguan Zhenhua did not receive any news, so no one came to greet Ye Tang and his group, and there were only eight guards at the door.
......
In the study, Shangguan Zhenhua was lying on the bed, feeling extremely bored.
Although he had been released from confinement, the emperor had ordered him not to leave the capital, so he stayed at home all day.
"My Ruolin, why haven't you come yet! If you don't come, dad will go find you. The emperor can punish you if he wants to. He won't look at me anyway." Shangguan Zhenhua kept muttering to himself.
"Duke!" The butler shouted anxiously from outside.
Shangguan Zhenhua shouted impatiently: "What are you shouting for!"
"The prince is here!" the butler's voice was excited.
Shangguan Zhenhua suddenly jumped up from the bed, and his head hit the top of the bed with a bang. He used too much force and the top of the bed was knocked away. He also fell back on the bed, and the huge force of the fall caused the bed to collapse.
After dismantling the bed, Shangguan Zhenhua rubbed his dizzy head and staggered to his feet: "My son is coming, coming, coming, hahahaha..."
He ran out in a mad manner, scaring the housekeeper.
forecourt.
The Ye Tang family sat in the main room with tired looks on their faces. The guards who escorted them here all retreated, and only Fang Jing and Wei Huan stayed.
The servants at the door looked into the house curiously from time to time, guessing the identities of Ye Tang and others in their hearts.
In the entire Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, apart from Fang Jing and others who went to pick up Ye Peng, only the housekeeper knew about Ye Peng, and the rest of the servants knew nothing.
Before bringing the person back, Shangguan Zhenhua did not make the matter public, for fear of bringing trouble to Ye Peng.
"Son, Ruolin!" Shangguan Zhenhua came hurriedly.
The servants were a little surprised to see him lose his composure like this.
Just as they were about to salute, they saw Shangguan Zhenhua flash past them like the wind.
"Was that person just now really the Duke?"
"Yes, you read that right."
"This is the first time I've seen the Duke in such a hurry."
Shangguan Zhenhua flew into the main room and saw Ye Tang and others in the room at a glance.
Fang Jing and Wei Huan immediately stood up and saluted.
Shangguan Zhenhua asked them to get up, and then his eyes fell on Ye Peng with a daze. If you didn’t know, you would think he saw his sweetheart!
"Son, you finally came over. Dad missed you so much." Shangguan Zhenhua was about to give Ye Peng a hug, but Ye Peng dodged him.
"Stay away from me." Ye Peng said in a bad temper.
Shangguan Zhenhua immediately took two steps back: "Don't be angry, Dad is just too happy. I'm really happy that you can come."
Ye Peng looked at him coldly: "I am not here for you, I just want to find out the truth, I want to kill the enemy myself and avenge my mother."
Ye Tang, Ye Ping'an, and Xiao Jingxuan stepped forward and respectfully called Shangguan Zhenhua "grandfather".
Shangguan Zhenhua burst into tears instantly and responded happily: "Hey!"
Ye Peng glared at the three children and said, "Just call him old man, why call him grandfather?"
Ye Tang said softly, "Dad, you have to be polite."
Ye Peng snorted and waved his hand: "Whatever you want, it's so annoying!"
He asked Shangguan Zhenhua: "I'm here now, when will you take me to see Ye Qianrou?"
Shangguan Zhenhua negotiated with him, "You just arrived, take a rest for a night, I will make arrangements tomorrow morning, and tell you after the arrangements are made, okay?"
The attitude of the mighty and domineering Duke of Protector of the Country at this moment is so humble. To be more precise, he should be cautious.
The housekeeper was shocked, and the servants outside the door were also stunned when they saw Shangguan Zhenhua like this. They could not believe their ears and eyes.
Ye Peng turned his eyes away: "Where should I sleep?"
Shangguan Zhenhua was delighted: "Your yard has been cleaned a long time ago. Dad will take you there right away."
Then he said to Ye Tang and the others, "You come too."
He turned around and looked at the people outside the door: "What are you all standing here for? Go away and do your work."
The housekeeper immediately dismissed the servants, and Shangguan Zhenhua said to Fang Jing and Wei Huan, "Go to the study and wait for the Duke."
Then he personally took Ye Peng and the other three to their residence.
