Chapter 242 Small businessman
Cheng Beiwang doesn't like that philanthropic face. Women should look like women. How gentle is it? No matter how lively and clever you are like a princess. But Ren Xiaoyao probably doesn't even treat himself as a woman. He is always in a man's posture when he stands.
Shaking his head, Cheng Beiwang sighed.
He might have really just hugged a man last night.
"Boss." The shopkeeper came over again, muttering in Ren Xiaoyao's ear for a while, and didn't know what he said, she saw her eyes glowing and said excitedly: "Go, take the silver with me."
"Yes." The shopkeeper nodded to get the money. Ren Xiaoyao didn't pay attention to the person standing in the dark, and ran out excitedly.
What happened? Cheng Beiwang was a little curious. He was very busy at first, but he came to take care of him as the prince ordered and didn't want to do anything practical. But seeing her so excited, he suddenly became a little curious and couldn't help but follow him.
The merchants naturally had a lot of dealings with the Ministry of Revenue. In their eyes, the managers of the Ministry of Revenue are considered to be the top officials. Every year, a lot of money is put into their pockets, and they must hold them like gods and Buddhas. So even if Ren Xiaoyao is now in a tough back-end, he has to think of a way not to offend others.
After going to the Red Man's Hall, strangely, Ren Xiaoyao did not go directly to the wing room to find someone, but went to the kitchen.
Cheng Beiwang is naturally familiar with this place. He used to go to drink with those of Song Liangchen. However, Song Liangchen has been a Liang for too long, so he only comes to see it occasionally.
He followed him in the dark and it was difficult to move forward. He only saw Ren Xiaoyao go to the kitchen and come out again, and then he muttered to the madam for a while.
When she went upstairs, Cheng Beiwang showed up and asked the madam what she had just said.
When he saw him, the madam's face smiled like a flower, without any hiding it, and said directly: "That was Ren Ji's boss just now. Today, Zhao Ji's shopkeeper is here to host a banquet for Mr. Qian from the Ministry of Revenue. Boss Ren probably wanted to intercept the rude and asked his mother, I asked a girl who could play the piano in the wing room."
Cheng Beiwang raised his eyebrows. How would she intercept the man when someone treats a meal? Will it not seem abrupt? Although the connections between the Ministry of Revenue have always been a must-fight for businesses, the other party has already taken the lead, and she probably doesn’t have much chance of winning today.
Do you want to help?
After thinking for a while, Cheng Beiwang said to the madam: "Is there any room near their wing room?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The madam hurriedly said, "Governor Cheng wants it. Even if I don't have a mother, I have to give you a free room immediately. Come with me."
Cheng Beiwang nodded, followed him upstairs, and inquired about the details in Zhao Ji's wing.
"The shopkeeper Zhao bought a banquet worth twenty taels of silver, so that we could deliver all the good wine and food." The madam said, "In order to prepare this table, we have spent all our efforts on the kitchen."
Twenty taels of silver per table of food is really a sky-high price. What would Ren Xiaoyao make? It costs thirty taels? It may not be for the sake of eating the food.
He became more and more curious. Cheng Beiwang entered the house, sent the madam to the left and right walls and listened.
The sound insulation in this place is not good, and it can be heard if it is a little louder. The room given to him by the madam is really good. On the left is the room where Zhao Ji and the Qian manage the businessman, and on the right is Ren Xiaoyao.
After everything was arranged, Ren Xiaoyao opened the door, gave Qin Nu a few instructions, and then looked outside and waited.
When the time was almost the same, the kitchen started to deliver vegetables upstairs. Plates of seafood delicacies looked very good and had a strong taste.
Many high-ranking officials like to eat seafood, but some people don’t like to eat, such as money manager. And she got the news for a lot of money. She must not know about the rough people like Ji Ji’s shopkeeper.
So sometimes, women are more likely to deal with people than men. Many things are not considered by men, but women are naturally careful and considerate.
She specially asked the kitchen to add the dishes, and she brought them all the ingredients, and helped the kitchen solve a lot of trouble. Seafood dishes are high-end and expensive, enough to make up the twenty taels.
As the food was already full of the table, Ren Xiaoyao stepped out of the door and politely knocked on the room ordered by the shopkeeper Zhao Ji.
"Come in!" Manager Qian's voice didn't sound very happy.
Ren Xiaoyao opened the door with a smile and said kindly: "I'm having a meal next to me. I heard that Manager Qian is also here, so I came here to salute me."
Manager Zhao smiled awkwardly, looking at her with unfriendly eyes: "Manager Ren is so polite, we are about to have a meal here."
When they met, they were always very jealous. Ren Xiaoyao was not at all nervous. He walked to Manager Qian, looked at the dishes on the table, and frowned and said, "Man Qian loves seafood? I remember yesterday at Queen Yan's house. You didn't even like to touch fish, you only ate beef."
Seeing him, Manager Qian also smiled and said lightly: "Ren Guard is polite, I don't like seafood."
Manager Zhao suddenly realized: "I wonder why the adults look unhappy. The kitchen here doesn't understand the adults' food. I'm sorry, let them rebuild a table immediately."
"That's so troublesome." Manager Qian pursed his lips.
The cold sweat behind Manager Zhao was over. He had been preparing such a meal for a long time today, and there were many things to ask for the company. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he fell on the food. If he had to rebuild a table, he would have to wait half an hour longer?
Just as I was about to say something to save it, Ren Xiaoyao next to me said, "It's quite troublesome. The adults are busy with official business, so you can't even have a good meal, right? The table of good wine and food I ordered is next door, and before I could move. If the adults and shopkeeper Zhao don't dislike it, why don't you move there?"
When Manager Qian heard this, he immediately stood up: "Go over, the fishy smell in the sea is very heavy."
"Please, sir." Ren Xiaoyao nodded, attracted Manager Qian to go out, and even showed a very friendly smile to Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao's face turned pale. He didn't even have room for resistance because of this good escort from Ren's surname. Why is it so coincidental? He just ordered a table of dishes next door?
I followed him unwillingly, but I saw that there were not only vegetables next door, but also young girls playing the piano.
The reason why Qian Guanshi was lewd and Ren Xiaoyao obviously knew this. He prescribed the right medicine and the dishes on the table were all the dishes that Qian Guanshi liked to eat.
Manager Qian's face looked good in an instant, and he even looked at Ren Xiaoyao with admiration: "Now a hero is a young man, and Manager Ren's future is prosperous."
"There is no matter where you are, you have to take care of yourself." Ren Xiaoyao was at ease and greeted Manager Qian for a while. He also talked about the recent salt trading, which completely made the shopkeeper Zhao Ji a foil.
Cheng Beiwang raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
The businessman is indeed cunning and shameless. In such a situation, he can snatch people without any trace, which is also considered... smart!
After thinking about it, he left the Red Mansion and decided to go back to the palace to report. Ren Xiaoyao, just give her some soil to grow into a big tree, and he doesn't have to worry about anything at all.
As a result, when they went to the royal palace, Shen Meijing and Song Liangchen were also having dinner.
"Don't be picky about food!"
I heard what Prince Yan said from a distance, and he was a little pampered with blame and a little doting, which made him tremble all over.
It seems that the time is not coming?
The beautiful scenery in the room looked at Song Liangchen pitifully and said, "This dish is very unpalatable."
Song Liangchen's face turned green and he was stuffy for a long time before gritting his teeth and said, "You have to eat it even if it is unpalatable. Miaohui said, you have always been dizzy lately, but you have eaten less food."
Nonsense, what's the matter of eating food when you are dizzy? I wanted to refute, but Meijing looked up but saw Cheng Beiwang standing at the door, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Governor, come in quickly, it's time to eat!"
Cheng Beiwang laughed dryly, looked at Song Liangchen, bowed his hand to say a salute, and then sat down without hesitation, staring at the dish that made Meijing very distressed: "Made it?"
"No!" Song Liangchen retorted quickly: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen."
"Is that true?" Cheng Beiwang raised his eyebrows, took the chopsticks to pick up the black vegetables, and sighed: "The princess is such a blessing."
