Li Tianqi's mansion.

"I heard from people outside that Chu Mo's restaurant will open in the next few days?"

In the main hall, Li Tianqi said softly, holding a tea cup in hand.

"Yes, this is the news from Dongfang Yu, it should be true."

Below Li Tianqi, a middle-aged man with a big belly in brocade clothes responded.

This person is none other than Guan Yuxiang, the richest man in Kyoto today.

"Very good, please keep an eye on this matter and prepare a small gift. When he comes to the restaurant, His Highness will definitely show his face."

Li Tianqi said,

"yes!"

Hearing Li Tianqi's words, Guan Yuxiang was very puzzled. He was just a down-and-out prince of Beiliang. How could he be worthy of Li Tianqi, the second prince, personally coming to congratulate him.

Could it be because of the Taishi Mansion?

Li Tianqi glanced at Guan Yuxiang, and naturally saw his confusion, and immediately said: "You don't understand, this Northern Liang Crown Prince is not as simple as he seems on the surface. Do you know what happened in Pingzhou? Pingzhou refugees

The riot can be put down, basically it can be said that it is his contribution. If this person can be used by me, it is not certain who the new emperor of the Dawu Dynasty will be in the future!"

Hearing this, Guan Yuxiang looked in disbelief.

The Pingzhou incident was causing quite a stir. How could he not know about it? What he didn't expect was that this matter would be connected to this good-for-nothing prince. It was really unexpected.

"Okay, you go back first. Remember what I said. Also, inform the people in your chamber of commerce. Don't offend them unless your own interests are involved. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After speaking, Li Tianqi waved his hand.

Guan Yuxiang bowed and then exited the main hall.

Taishi Mansion.

After the morning court, Wen Haoxuan returned to the mansion. While he was having breakfast, Mrs. Fu returned from going out and found him quickly.

"Sir, have you heard? That brat Chu Mo actually bought the building on West Street. I heard he is going to open a restaurant. Isn't this nonsense?"

When Wen Haoxuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said calmly: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"What a good thing, sir, think about it, he is the prince of Beiliang, and he is also our uncle. I am afraid that making such a public appearance will make others gossip."

Fu said helplessly.

"That's what I'm talking about. Madam, if you want me to tell you, don't worry about it. Just let them manage it slowly."

Wen Haoxuan smiled and shook his head.

"Hey, I don't know what Chu Mo is thinking. His Majesty asked him to join the court as an official before and he refused. Unexpectedly, he now wants to join a merchant and do business. Isn't being an official worse than a businessman?"

Fu Shi was a little angry.

"You, this is a woman's opinion. Do you think being an official is really good? This guy Chu Mo has clearly seen the rules, that's why he doesn't want to become an official in the court. You know, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

Chu Mo grew up in Beiliang and is used to lawlessness. With his character, if he really joins the court as an official and accidentally offends His Majesty, he will be in trouble."

"My husband also thought of the late emperor who specifically asked me to assist His Majesty before he passed away. Otherwise, as my husband thought, it would be better to take the blame and resign, become a free man, and stay away from the intrigues and deceitful life in the court. This is better, my husband

The wish I have been looking forward to for so long has never been seen. This boy has such an idea at a young age, and he is indeed my uncle Wen Haoxuan."

As he said this, Wen Haoxuan chuckled.

"You..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Fu had a wry smile on her face and shook her head helplessly.

"By the way, since this guy is planning to open a restaurant, you, the mother-in-law, should also make preparations. On the opening day, prepare some small gifts and stop by. This is Kyoto after all, who are those merchants?

There is no one looking after you, so if you go there, you can let some people know that there is my Grand Master's Mansion behind this restaurant, which can save this kid a lot of trouble."

Wen Haoxuan said.

"I understand, sir."

…

Another three days have passed.

During these three days, after some discussions with Wen Qingyuan, Chu Mo finally decided on the opening time and set it for two days.

Thanks to Dongfang Yu's publicity, the opening of the restaurant has become a household name throughout Kyoto, but Chu Mo is not satisfied with this.

Although Dongfang Yu attracted the respect of many people with his talent in Kyoto, that was only in front of dignitaries.

In Chu Mo's view, this restaurant is his first public business after all, and it is naturally the best thing to attract more people.

At this moment, Chu Mo also thought of a person again. If this person came on the opening day, he would definitely attract a lot of customers.

This person is none other than Su Ling!

As the number one courtesan of Xishi Pavilion, Su Ling's reputation in Kyoto is even better than that of Dongfang Yulai. If Su Ling also comes to the restaurant, those who admire her will naturally follow her.

Just do it!

After thinking of this, Chu Mo immediately found an excuse to leave the Prince's Mansion and went to Xishi Pavilion.

The door of Xishi Pavilion is closed during the day, but everyone in Xishi Pavilion knows that Chu Mo is now their honored guest. Even in the daytime, Chu Mo's arrival will be received with the most respect by Xishi Pavilion.

After meeting Su Ling, Chu Mo immediately told her purpose. Su Ling was not surprised. She had already thought of this when she heard that Chu Mo came to find her.

As for Chu Mo's invitation, Su Ling naturally accepted it happily and promised to come to the store on the opening day to support her.

There are less than two days left before the opening. In the past two days, Wenqingyuan has been busy preparing for the opening. Dongfang Yu also brought the restaurant service staff he had found to the restaurant to show Chu Mo.

But even though Dongfang Yu was very concerned about this matter, only a few of the carefully selected people satisfied Chu Mo.

This made Dongfang Yu feel helpless.

In order to ensure sufficient manpower on the opening day, Chu Mo called Yu Zixuan and asked him to go to the black market to find more than 20 people from the Chu family army to serve as manpower.

Yu Zixuan also returned to Kyoto with the Chu family army that night and arranged for them to stay in several inns.

The waters in Kyoto are deep and the forces are complex. It is no secret that Yu Zixuan is Chu Mo's personal bodyguard in front of the big shots. Originally Chu Mo planned to let people from the Chu family army go to the Prince's Mansion, but in order to prevent some people from arousing suspicion, Chu Mo

Mo could only let Yu Zixuan arrange them at the inn and spread them out.

All the pre-opening work is ready, and now they only need to wait two days.
Chapter completed!
