124, the unlucky Chen Shimei

"Princess, we're not full yet, can we have some more?"

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Zhan Zhao's elm-headed head finally turned around. He finally figured out that the princess spent other people's money on her love, but Jiner made it! Since she is eating from other people, they are still polite.

What!

"Uh, tell me, Chen Zhuangyuan is treating me to this meal today, so you just have to make do with it. It's not my princess who is paying for it, so I don't want to take too much money from you!"

Although Liu Qianqian said this, she felt so happy that if she hadn't covered her mouth with a handkerchief, the smile that sneaked onto her lips would have been gone.

"Well, what did the princess say? It's rare for all of you distinguished guests to come to Chenzhou. There's no reason why everyone can't have enough to eat. You can eat whatever you want!"

Chen Shimei said to her heart, what does it mean to eat too much? You have already eaten too much. Even if he sells iron, he can't pay the bill. Since he can't pay it anymore, he has to let them royal people

He came to pay the bill and simply let them eat. He said he wanted to see how much more they could eat.

"Well, Chen Zhuangyuan, you are so kind. Thank you. You're welcome from Zhan Zhao! Waiter, come over here."

Due to the astonishing price of food at Liu Qianqian's table, everyone from the shopkeeper to the waiter had already regarded this table as a place where princes and nobles were entertaining. As soon as Zhan Zhao raised his hand, the waiter over there shook his head.

Came running over

"Wow, you run really fast!"

After Zhan Zhao muttered something in a low voice, he pointed at the few food left on the table and said:

"The pork elbow with sauce, the braised lion's head, the Buddha jumping over the wall, the pork knuckle with sauce, and the eight-treasure duck. If you're quick, get a portion of each."

Listening to Zhan Zhao talking about these dishes in one breath, the waiter's little eyes smiled. These dishes are the most expensive ones in his shop. But he turned around and was about to leave when he saw the gesture of the shopkeeper.

, he immediately turned around, first bowed to all of them, and then asked them with a smile who would pay for it later.

When Liu Qianqian heard what the waiter said, she burst into laughter, stretched out her slender index finger, pointed at Chen Shimei next to her, opened her mouth slightly and said something that could scare the waiter out of his wits.

"In this realm of Chenzhou, of course it is Chen Zhuangyuan!"

As soon as the waiter heard what Liu Qianqian said, he shouted "Oh my God" and ran straight to their shopkeeper. He only saw him mumbling in the shopkeeper's ear for a long time, but they didn't see any movement.

It’s just that the shopkeeper’s face became greener and greener, and his whole face became more and more wrinkled!

"Chen Zhuangyuan, please take a step to speak!"

The shopkeeper finally appeared in front of their table when Liu Qianqian counted the number in her heart to 99. She didn't believe that he could hold it back forever. Sure enough, he just counted 99, so he didn't.

This is a bit tolerable

Of course Chen Shimei knew why the shopkeeper asked him to lend a hand to talk. Although his Chen family was a famous family in Chenzhou, it had been in decline for dozens of generations, so before he left Beijing to take the exam, their family

At that time, those days were so busy that one had to wait for the first meal and not know where to wait for the next meal. It was completely unclear whether it was Chen Shimei's travel expenses to Beijing to take the exam, or whether it was the virtuous wife who cut off the black hair that she had kept for many years and sold it.

, and only scraped together a little bit of silver. Chen Shimei didn't dare to stay in a hotel along the way, but stayed at the homes of passers-by.

It can also be said that when Chen Shimei came to Beijing to take the exam, he ate from hundreds of families and lived in ten thousand houses. The little money he had on his body was from after he stayed in Beijing as an official and traveled.

I saved it bit by bit.

Therefore, the Chen family had him as the number one scholar, and almost everyone in Chenzhou knew about it. However, few people knew that Chen Shimei actually went behind the back of his wife and children and sent a letter to the capital to request that he be the consort!

"Shopkeeper, what you said is wrong. Those people sitting there are all distinguished guests from Beijing. Why can't they pay money? Just pick the best one. Money won't

I miss you every cent!"

Although Chen Shimei's words were beautiful and rich, the more the old shopkeeper was like this, the more unsure he felt! Since Chen Shimei said that those people were distinguished guests from Beijing, the one who offered the money must be this Xinke Chen

He won the top prize, but it was because he heard that Chen Shimei paid for it that he felt even more unsure!

Those gentlemen are so good at eating. Seeing that they have nearly a thousand taels of silver now, if this Chen Shimei comes to say something about accounting, he will have to be prepared to lose everything!

"Chen Zhuangyuan, why don't you go over the previous accounts first?"

The old shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said these few words with a lot of heart. It seemed that he had made a lot of determination! If he could get rid of the money he had wasted in front of him, how could the money he spent in the back be saved?

Just think that he has worked for a month in vain. Who told them that Chenzhou has not produced a No. 1 scholar in so many years? Quan should be sponsoring the new No. 1 scholar to have a drink to celebrate!

When Chen Shimei heard the words of the old shopkeeper, she immediately straightened her face with a sullen and cold expression. She snorted twice from her nose and took out a thousand-tael banknote from her waist.

He slapped it into the shopkeeper's face, then walked back and sat down again without looking back.

"Chen Zhuangyuan, why do you look so stinky? Is the shopkeeper talking disgustingly? Tell me that I asked Zhan Zhao to cheat on him!"

When Liu Qianqian came back and saw Chen Shimei sitting down, he still had a scowl on his face for a long time, so she had to touch him with her elbow. Who made the few people over there watch the fun and throw away their cheeks to eat hard?

She was eating fiercely. If she didn't speak anymore, I'm afraid this scene would really be embarrassing.

"Uh, it's nothing. The princess is overthinking it! It's just that Shimei was thinking about some past things and was a little lost in thought!"

In fact, Chen Shimei is really not an open-minded person. After receiving such courtesy from the shopkeeper, in the past, he would have just cursed in his heart and looked down upon others. But now, after all, his identity is different from that of Chen Shimei.

It has happened in the past, so hearing these words again really made him have the urge to kill people.

But he couldn't reveal any emotion about this in front of Liu Qianqian, because those things were so unbearable! It was so unbearable that he didn't even want to hear it! That's why Chen Shimei said nothing painfully.

Thinking

When Liu Qianqian heard what Chen Shimei said, she wanted to shout long live three times. She knew that Chen Shimei was too proud of face and would never tell the truth, so she dared to tell Zhan Zhao to be the manager.

In fact, she was really hoping that Chen Shimei would say that she didn't have to worry about it! She was really afraid that Chen Shimei would tell the truth. If that was the case, she would really be embarrassed to let him settle the bill again!

"By the way, have you eaten yet? Save some space, we'll go eat some local snacks in Chenzhou later! Don't worry, you'll only be able to watch!"

As Liu Qianqian spoke, she glanced at Bao Zheng, who had been sitting there watching the excitement. She couldn't understand why he, a grown man, had such a small appetite that he couldn't even eat her! It was really a waste of time.
Chapter completed!
