The old thief came in hurriedly, "That restaurant said that all the cooks have fallen down and can't come."
Yi Niang was startled, then gritted her teeth and said, "What's the reason?"
"It's a stomachache."
There are so many causes of abdominal pain. Even in the world of Scroll, with its advanced technology, there are still many abdominal pains for which the cause cannot be found.
"This is intentional." Yi Niang took a deep breath and said, "Lang Jun, I'm afraid it will be too late to find another family."
There are not many people who can do such a thing, and a family of five surnames can't be so dishonest and shameful if word spreads about it.
who?
Yang Xuan thought of Liang Jing.
This guy behaves like a bad boy and only seeks pleasure.
But that shouldn't be the case... It's said that the imperial concubine fell ill in the palace. Does he still have the intention to seek bad luck on me?
Putting this matter aside for now, Yang Xuan said: "It's too late to ask for help from the restaurant at this time."
If you want to invite a restaurant to host such a banquet, you must give advance notice so that the restaurant can free up manpower and equipment. Otherwise, if your business is doing well, it would be inappropriate to close the door for you.
If you can spend money on a temporarily closed restaurant, you can only imagine the cooking skills of the chef.
…
Zhou Mansion.
The girl was getting married today. Zhou Zun looked at her face glowing red, welcoming her and seeing her off, and was busy non-stop.
A steward approached and said, "Mr. Sir, the restaurant that the man ordered was poisoned and all the cooks collapsed."
"Brother Wang, please come in." Zhou Zun raised his hands to a guest and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Who did this?"
"Our people are still investigating."
"Hurry up. Also, go and ask over there. If there's nothing you can do, there's a cook here."
Zhou Zun suddenly said angrily: "I still disliked him a while ago, but now I have to worry about his affairs. These days..."
The steward looked at him sympathetically and left immediately.
Zhou Zun went to look for Zhou Qin when he had no time.
"Who did it?" Zhou Qin's first reaction was the same.
"Still checking."
"Is there any way to make up for it?"
"I don't know yet. If something goes wrong, I just need a few cooks here."
"The man will feel embarrassed." Zhou Qin looked like someone who had come before him.
"But Aye, he is the only one in his family."
Yes! When Yang Xuan nodded, it meant that the whole family agreed. When the father-in-law opened his mouth, how dare he refuse to agree? Zhou Qin: "..."
The steward has arrived.
"Our people went to that restaurant and made some connections. It turned out that the person behind the restaurant was an in-law of our family. No, once we checked, we found the mole. The mole confessed that the messenger was from Liang Jing's side."
Zhou Zun looked at Zhou Qin and said, "Yeah, this is a provocation!"
Zhou Qin said calmly: "The Zhou family has been dormant for a long time, so much so that all kinds of monsters and monsters dare to jump out of their seats. It shows that you have been too low-key in the past."
"Aye, Aning got married today..."
"If you make a noise, it will be a celebration for everyone."
…
There are more and more people around Liang Jing, including several staff members.
Nowadays, his family has a great business, and he has to plan for his own career and for his concubine. Every day he is either forming gangs or drinking and whoring.
Huang Liao was one of Liang Jing's staff.
Several staff members were rivals secretly and openly, but they were talking and laughing while sitting together.
One of them said: "Yesterday, Mr. Lang said that Yang Xuan betrayed the empress by marrying Zhou's daughter, which is very hateful. Let's think about it, is there any way to vent their anger on Mr. Lang and the empress."
Several staff members looked at each other.
"The East Palace has now become a real quagmire. That person is completely useless. Yang Xuan is just grinding his seniority in the East Palace. He has no desires and desires, how can he move?"
"Why don't you let Mr. Lang use your strength and throw him to Taichang Temple or Taishi Bureau? Let him hang out there for the rest of his life. It will relieve his anger more than anything else."
Even if they had any means at this time, these staff who were at odds with each other would only say it in front of Liang Jing to show their merit.
It’s just a joke at the moment!
A staff member asked Huang Liao, "Brother Huang, why didn't you say a word?"
Huang Liao smiled and said, "I've already done it."
I am an activist!
Everyone was startled.
Someone asked: "Are you being attacked?"
Huang Liao said calmly: "I just took some medicine. I'm afraid there will be some problems in Yang Xuan's marriage today. I wonder what those guests will think when they face the hastily delivered cold food and wine."
The dog said it!
This bitch actually did it secretly.
Several staff members made various slanders, but they knew that Huang Liao's method was quite clever: it could disgust Yang Xuan without causing a big trouble.
Lang Jun will definitely praise him!
"Most people only get married once in a lifetime. I think this time will make Yang Xuan unforgettable forever."
The sour smell in the room was a bit strong. Huang Liao stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk first."
Everyone watched him go out. Liang Jing came back later and said hurriedly: "The empress has regained His Majesty's favor. Where is the cat I found? Get it quickly and I will take it to the palace."
Someone went to get the kitten. Liang Jing held up the cage and said, "Someone will accompany me into the palace."
Several staff members looked at the others calmly.
"It's time for Huang Liao and Lang Jun to go out today, but he's not here."
"You!" Liang Jing pointed at someone casually.
As the saying goes, "living in one's qi and cultivating one's body", nowadays Liang Jing is also accustomed to bringing his staff with him wherever he goes. Whenever something happens, he will have an additional adviser by his side.
Several guards surrounded the two of them as they went out.
All the way to the gate of the square.
Liang Jing asked: "Where has Huang Liao gone?"
The guy ran away triumphantly... The staff member smiled and said: "Huang Liao said before... Yang Xuan is getting married today and has a banquet, and he has booked a restaurant to host it."
In this era, it is natural to have a banquet at home when getting married, and going to a restaurant is something that only a poor family can do.
"Tell me the important point!" Liang Jing frowned.
"Huang Liao ordered people to take the medicine and knocked down several cooks. I think the Yang family's banquet today will be very lively."
"What a waste!" Liang Jing seemed dissatisfied, but the evil boy in his heart was extremely happy and satisfied. "The time card is so good that the Yang family can't find it even if they want to find a restaurant."
He nodded, "Remind me to scold him later!"
"yes."
"Also, remember to remind me to reward him!"
This is Chi Guoguo’s statement: I like Chi Guoguo’s methods! It’s so cool!
The guard in front suddenly said: "Lang Jun, someone in front has been hanged."
"Bad luck!" Liang Jing took a sip, and the staff beside him trembled, pointed forward and said: "Lang Jun..."
"Why are you trembling?"
"Look, Lang Jun, that man...that man seems to be Huang Liao?"
I don’t know when a man hung on the street tree on Zhuque Street.
The man's mouth was open and his tongue was slightly hanging out. He was hung by a rope around his neck, and his body swayed gently with the wind.
It was Huang Liao.
…
"Mr. Lang, I don't know what the man who drugged me had in mind. He committed suicide on the street tree beside Zhuque Street."
The manager said it calmly.
"knew."
Huang Zun was also very calm.
Only Zhou Qin was a little dissatisfied, "He should be hanged in front of Liang Jing's house."
Zhou Zun smiled bitterly, "Ah Ye, today is a good day for Aning, how about we don't mention this matter?"
"There are no cooks over there, nor any pots and pans. How can we live in such a good life?"
Later, a steward will come to report.
"The Yang family's banquet has begun."
"Who helped?"
"No one helped, so the Yang family just used the waiters and tableware from the original restaurant, as well as the purchased ingredients."
"What did you do?"
"Tell me what it is...hot pot."
…
There are not many guests.
Each person has a clay pot and a small clay stove, and there are various chopped ingredients and drinks placed on the table.
Wei Ling'er and other female family members were in the back room, looking at this at a loss.
Zhang Siniang came in and Fu Shen said: "Ladies, this soup is made by boiling sheep bones and chicken bones. Those ingredients can be put into the clay pot one by one to cook..."
"I'll try it." Wei Ling'er likes new things the most, so she put in a few slices of mutton.
"Is it almost done?"
She waited, then took out a piece.
"This is dipping in water." Zhang Siniang introduced.
The mutton is rolled in the water, and as soon as it enters the mouth...
"how?"
Everyone looked at Wei Linger.
Wei Ling'er's eyes gradually widened and she nodded vigorously, "It's delicious!"
It's already drying up outside, and there are a lot of people enjoying themselves waiting for food.
Yang Xuan was watching this scene in the room. The old thief next to him said: "The villain went to that restaurant. The cook was indeed knocked down. He must have been drugged."
It would be great if Aning was here, he could easily find the medicine.
"The restaurant is willing to pay ten times the compensation, and they say we are all a family."
"What's the meaning?"
"The owner of the restaurant is Zhou's in-laws."
say!
Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "No wonder emperors of all dynasties were afraid of aristocratic families. This casual restaurant is one of their own relatives."
The old thief whispered: "The so-called poverty-stricken strategy, the rich ambition, and the huge power at hand, this person will inevitably have some thoughts that he shouldn't have."
"Isn't it rich and conscientious?"
"Lang Jun, conscience is only related to people."
Yang Xuan asked: "Has the person behind it been found out?"
"Mr. Lang."
"Why are you crying and sad on this big day?"
"Lang Jun, Mr. Zhou has taken action."
Yang Xuan was startled, "How?"
"The shopkeeper said it was someone from Liang Jing's side behind the scenes."
"Where's that guy?"
"He was hanged on the big tree on the side of Zhuque Street."
The father-in-law found out about this, and immediately took action... He didn't say anything about knocking on the door, but directly ordered Zhou's good hands to hang the man in full view of the public.
I usually look at my amiable father-in-law, but I didn't expect the ferocity with which he moved his hands to make people shudder.
"Lang Jun, I am a little worried about you."
"What are you worried about me for?"
"If the husband and his wife quarrel and fight in the future, the wife will return home and cry..."
My father-in-law doesn’t want to hang you, but it’s okay to hang you on a tree and show off for a while!
say!
Yang Xuan shuddered.
Wang Laoer squatted beside him holding a big bowl. In the bowl was the hodgepodge that Yi Niang had prepared for him earlier. It had everything and was fragrant.
"Mr. Sir, my wife can also give medicine."
"shut up!"
Yang Xuan's face turned pale.
After eating, those who have to go leave, and the rest are just helping.
Tao Jian and Chen Zimao were drinking.
The two of them will serve as best ministers today.
"Zimao, you used to drink in moderation. What happened today? Are you happy for Zitai?" Wei Ling'er came out and asked.
Chen Zimao's face turned slightly pale after drinking, "Yes!"
Zhang Dongqing covered her mouth and snickered.
Hong Ya said: "Tao Jian also drank a lot, why?"
Tao Jian burped, "It won't hurt if you drink too much and get beaten."
…
Night is the time to welcome the bride.
A group of people gathered around the groom and went to the Zhou Mansion.
Entering the gate went smoothly, and it was so smooth that Tao Jian grinned and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhou is kind and won't embarrass us."
Suddenly there was a bright light ahead.
Two rows of women lined up holding sticks, leaving a passage in the middle that could only allow one person to pass.
Chen Zimao's face was ashen and he said in a trembling voice: "Zitai, what can I do?"
Tao Jian said calmly: "I just went to find out how to do it."
Everyone looked at him.
The hope of the whole village is you.
Tao Jian said proudly: "They say the best way is...fast!"
Wonderful!
Yang Xuan praised: "This is the art of war!"
He walked over first.
The women were holding sticks and looking at him with smiles.
"Today the groom is my wife's dog, did you know that?"
On the wedding day, the groom is the woman’s dog, of course I know that.
Yang Xuan said sincerely: "My father-in-law worked hard to raise a beautiful flower, but I took it away with the pot..."
In the backyard, Zhou Ning, dressed in a wedding dress, was sitting in her boudoir, feeling a little nervous and a little expectant.
Several close women accompanied her.
"Marrying is just a gamble after all. Marry a good man, live happily ever after, and have a smooth life." A woman muttered.
Another woman smiled and said: "Life is lived, not seen. No matter how handsome a man is, he will get tired of it after a few years. What matters is thoughtfulness. As long as he is thoughtful and motivated, it doesn't matter if he looks ordinary."
"That makes sense."
"It was because I was blind that I fell in love with that piece of shit. He was so handsome. He spent all his time messing around with women. He didn't care about anything at home, and he didn't teach his children..."
"My family also tried to persuade you back then, saying that the man just had a good skin, but you just didn't listen."
"Stop talking, Aning is here!"
The gossip between several women ended just as it began.
"A Ning, what about Yang Xuan? Are you considerate?"
Zhou Ning, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and said, "He is fine."
"Ouch! You're saying good things about him before you get married, so that's really nice."
Zhou Ning nodded, "Yeah!"
Several women were speechless.
But for any woman who has been married for several years or more, basically apart from the fat in her belly, she is left with complaints.
No amount of love can beat the daily discord, once, twice, three times... the times are too many, and when I see that man, I feel strange and tired.
So when they saw Zhou Ning's firm attitude, they were all reminiscing about their own years.
A woman sighed: "At that time... there were flowers and a full moon."
"The groom is here."
There are children shouting outside.
The maid Huahong hurried in and said, "Little madam, Yang Langjun is here."
The women were surprised, and someone asked: "How did he break in?"
A woman was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"why are you laughing?"
The woman gasped: "Tao Jian, the boy from Liang Guogong's family, has been asking about how to beat the wife's dog these past two days. Those people only said one word...quick!"
"Yang Xuan has a lot of cultivation."
All the women couldn't help but be disappointed.
Huahong shook her head vigorously, "No."
The woman asked: "Then how did he get here?"
Huahong said: "This is how Yang Langjun came over step by step."
"Didn't you get beaten?"
"After he was beaten, he kept smiling while being beaten."
