61. Unknown
Since Chen Lang is going to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, the poems that meet the scene at the banquet are basically inseparable from the two key elements of watching the moon and missing relatives and friends.
After calming down, Chen Lang carefully searched his heart and scraped his stomach. His hard work paid off, which reminded him of some famous quotes. Although many of them did not have complete chapters, it was enough to just rely on sporadic famous quotes, dealing with banquets, etc.
At worst, at the banquet, Chen Lang would fill in the poems indiscriminately. Even if the fills were not satisfactory, Chen Lang could at least be sure that there would be shining points in every poem he wrote.
Swish swish swish swish ~
Chen Lang wrote like a flying pen, and had already written several sheets of paper. Most of the ones he wrote were only lonely and famous quotes, and some were small, which were complete and simple poems.
[The spring breeze is green again on the south bank of the river, when will the bright moon shine on me again]
[You must be happy in life, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty]
[People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing]
[The bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your glass to look at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown]
[The moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk]
...
The above are all poems related to watching the moon. In addition, Chen Lang also wrote (copyed) some poems related to missing relatives. As he wrote, his hand holding the pen couldn't stop trembling. He was moved by the scene.
When Chen Lang came in, he walked in a hurry, so he did not close the door. Chao Qing and other servants arranged by Xu Guo pretended to pass by the door inadvertently and peeked at what Chen Lang was doing.
Because Chen Lang suddenly shouted for paper and pen, this behavior was rather abnormal.
"The Prince of Liang seemed to be sad." A servant named Wang Yong whispered to Chao Qing.
Chao Qing wisely speculated: "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the Prince of Liang missed his relatives and friends who were far away in Liang. It seems that we are too worried."
"Well, after careful observation during this period of time, it is simply summed up that Prince Liang is ignorant and it will be difficult for him to pose a threat to Xu State in the future. If we continue to stay, we will be wasted resources." Wang Yong muttered in a muffled voice.
Chao Qing said angrily: "How long has it been gone, and you guys will give up? It is too early to draw conclusions about the tasks assigned by Shangshu Lu. Brother, as long as you can persevere, there will be hard work if you don't have any credit."
"Okay." Wang Yong nodded in depressed mood. He was like Chao Qing. His life was pretty good, but since Lu Xuan gave the task, he became a servant of the prince's mansion. His anger was like a rushing river and he could not calm down.
What's more, this time there is no timetable for the mission, so you can't last for five years. It will be the end of the final result to hold the Prince of Liang back to the neighboring Liang.
...
"Bang!"
Chen Lang suddenly raised his palm and hit the table hard. He decided to abandon sadness. Anyway, things have come to this point, so sadness has no effect.
"Your Highness, do you still need paper and pen?"
A gentle voice came from a distance. Looking along the sound, I saw a slightly fat girl wearing a white gauze and a baby fat on her face. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, leaning against the door and smiling.
She was the maid chosen by Chen Lang himself, named Cai'er, and grew up in Ding Xu's house since childhood. Chen Lang asked Ding Xu to ask Cai'er for it, but this matter has not been passed through Ding Xu's father.
In this way, I don’t worry that Cai'er would become a spy from Xu like Chao Qing. On the surface, she was busy in the prince’s mansion, but secretly stole Chen Lang’s suspicious behavior to a senior official of Xu.
"Help me put the things on the table into the cabinet, I want to go out." Chen Lang stood up and stretched.
"Why not have dinner in the mansion?" Cai'er asked while tidying up the densely written rice paper.
"Well, I'm going to have some hodgepodge tonight." Chen Lang walked out of the room with a smile.
The hodgepodge he mentioned was the buffet restaurant that opened not long ago. The restaurant was not far from the Prince's Mansion and could walk over it by foot. Chen Lang went to inspect several times and found that the business was booming beyond imagination.
Of course, those inspections in the past were limited to waiting and looking outside, but today, Chen Lang wanted to experience the restaurant environment and line up to get food.
The sunset was shaking in the sky, and the buffet restaurant must have been busy. Chen Lang screamed at Yu Mufei and asked her to have a feast.
"Is the casual restaurant that Your Highness really profitable?" Yu Mufei asked strangely.
"Yes." Chen Lang said immediately.
"Lie to me." Yu Mufei still believed and half-doubted.
Chen Lang raised his eyebrows: "So, what do you think if I say that opening a restaurant is not to make money, but to lose money to make the people of Huaining eat better?"
Yu Mufei replied without hesitation: "It's not your style, I won't believe it even if I beat you to death."
"Then what do you believe in?" Chen Lang teased.
Yu Mufei suddenly looked around carefully, and then reduced the sound to the lowest flow: "I think you might be planning other things secretly under the guise of opening a restaurant."
oh?
Chen Lang blinked. Although Yu Mufei didn't guess correctly, what he said just now provided Chen Lang with an idea. He could really follow this method in the future.
"Hehe, what am I saying?" Yu Mufei asked playfully.
"When the restaurant's revenue is counted in the first month, I will show it to you personally. In that way, you will know how much the restaurant can earn every day." Chen Lang smiled.
"Tsk~"
Yu Mufei thrust his lips unconvincedly.
The two walked side by side and bypassed a bustling intersection, and saw five lanterns hanging high on the lamp pole. Each lantern had large characters written in regular script, namely - Yue, Come, Self, Guest, and Meal.
"It's so lively!"
Yu Mufei looked at the crowd of people shoulder to shoulder.
"Most of the people in front went in for supper." Chen Lang nodded with satisfaction.
As they were talking, two strong men passed by Chen Lang in a hurry, but because there were too many passers-by, they couldn't go anywhere even if they wanted to go.
I heard one of the strong men ask: "Are you sure that you can eat whatever you want from the buffet?"
"100% sure, I just came to eat yesterday." Another strong man replied.
"There is such a stupid boss. I won't lose this store."
"Well, let go of your stomach and eat as much as you want. I want to see how many days the Yuelai Restaurant can last."
"What kind of stupid guy do you think is so stupid that he can open such a casual restaurant?"
"I heard that it seems to be the one who was opened by Mr. Ding Xu."
"Ding Xu's family has great achievements. Could it be that he believes in Buddhism and does good deeds?"
"Don't worry, as long as you eat openly, I promise to eat his Ding family!"
The two strong men squeezed into the crowd in front of them with a romance, while Yu Mufei behind them looked at Chen Lang with sorrow.
Chen Lang smiled mysteriously and patted Yu Mufei on the shoulder: "Don't worry, these two bragging men, let alone eating the restaurant, whether they can make a profit is still unknown."
