Chapter 164 Tang Gongzi, Is Your Family Going Bankrupt?
Zheng Shuyu's face darkened: "Mr. Tang, you may have misunderstood. My father just asked me to come here to have a meal. There is no other intention."
"No other meaning?" Tang Mingcong could no longer maintain the illusion of hypocrisy.
He stood up suddenly and looked at Zheng Shuyu unkindly: "If you didn't mean to do it, why did you come to my restaurant?"
"Young Master opens the door for business, is it possible that you have to choose guests?" Zheng Shuyu was surprised. "Besides, my friends and I came here to have a meal, and Young Master greeted me when he saw me. I can't ignore you, right?"
"Shu Yu, it turns out that you are not familiar with this Mr. Tang?" Mu Siyu was surprised: "That's okay. This Mr. Tang's restaurant seems to have a good business, but in fact the ingredients are not fresh and the taste is not satisfactory. The reason why it still exists now
Customers, it’s because their prices are cheap. Who doesn’t love cheap things? It’s just that such cheap and low-quality things cannot win people’s hearts. And Mr. Tang, last time I saw you, you still had a jade pendant around your waist.
Looking at it today..."
"It's just that the jade pendant is missing. Even the jade ring on your hand is missing. Is your Tang family... going to go bankrupt?"
Tang Mingcong slapped the table hard: "You!!!"
"Don't get excited, it's just a joke. Whoever takes it seriously will lose." Mu Siyu looked at Zheng Shuyu: "Have you eaten? If you have eaten, let's go!"
Zheng Shuyu frowned: "It's okay if you don't say it. But after you said so, I still feel that this dish is weird. Let's eat somewhere else! I'm afraid... I won't come here anymore."
"Ignorant village woman! I really don't know how Lu Yi could marry such a vulgar woman like you." Tang Mingcong cursed at Mu Siyu's back.
Mu Siyu stopped.
Tang Mingcong sneered and looked at her provocatively.
Zheng Shuyu shook Mu Siyu's arm: "Ignore him."
She regretted it. She should not have brought her here if she had known they were having a holiday.
Seeing this Tang Mingcong was her father's wish. Her father said that the Tang family's business was doing well, and if they could marry into the Tang family, it would be a help to their second wife.
On the one hand, she was moved, but on the other hand, she was a little worried, so she asked Mu Siyu to be her strategist.
Bang! Mu Siyu clutched her stomach, shook her body, and stumbled to the table opposite.
"My stomach... hurts... there's something wrong with this dish... there's something wrong with this dish... ah..."
"What? There's something wrong with the food?" The guests at that table stood up in horror: "Isn't this the second No. 1 Restaurant? Isn't there something that shouldn't be put in it?"
The guests at other tables also panicked.
"Everyone, this woman deliberately harmed me. There is nothing wrong with the items in our store." Tang Mingcong shouted.
"But this woman's face is pale, and she still says there's no problem?"
"Yes, if there is no problem, why is this woman's face so pale?"
"Let's go, we can't come here again."
"Walk."
The shopkeeper quickly stopped those people.
However, more and more guests are leaving.
Tang Mingcong rushed to stop them, but when he came to his senses, Mu Siyu and Zheng Shuyu had long disappeared.
Mu Siyu and Zheng Shuyu stayed away from the restaurant, looked back at the chaotic scene over there, looked at each other, and burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had any issues with this person named Tang." Zheng Shuyu apologized sincerely.
"Those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, it's not me who has a problem with him, but my husband. This person is narrow-minded because my husband was favored by the mountain chief when he was studying in the academy. He was jealous and made things difficult for him.
"Last time, I suffered a humiliating loss from my husband. No... He doesn't even spare a young woman like me. This shows that this man is not a good match."
"You're right." Zheng Shuyu pondered.
"Why are you looking at me all of a sudden? Miss Zheng Er doesn't seem like someone who is honest enough to get married and have children!"
"Being born as a woman is not easy, and trying to gain a foothold in the business world is even more difficult. It seems that other than relying on men, any other path is a dead end for us, an endless cliff."
"I don't think so." Mu Siyu looked at her: "Even if it's an endless cliff, I can grow a pair of wings and fly out. Miss Zheng Er, I rarely admire people. You are one. Don't break it."
own wings."
"I just like talking to you." Zheng Shuyu held her hand: "I will treat you to dinner another day, and today's meal does not count."
"good."
"By the way, take this." Zheng Shuyu took out two banknotes.
A piece of one hundred taels of silver.
Mu Siyu didn't know why: "This is..."
"The commission for your advice for me." Zheng Shuyu said: "The installment you mentioned, if used properly, will definitely be of great use to my competition this time."
"This method is indeed easy to use, but it also has side effects. In order to be worthy of the commission you pay, I will explain it to you in detail. For the sake of safety, you can actually cooperate with the yamen and banks..."
After separating from Zheng Shuyu, Mu Siyu drove the carriage to buy the few remaining things.
When the carriage passed the entrance of the alley, he saw a familiar figure sitting there. Mu Siyu tightened the horse's rope and said, "Hey!"
"If you don't even move your butt, can you really get money like this?"
The beggar still closed his eyes and did not respond.
"What a strange beggar." Mu Siyu said, took out a few pieces of silver and threw it into the beggar's broken bowl. "It's enough for you to eat buns for a month, so save some money."
After the carriage left, the beggar opened his eyes and looked towards the direction Mu Siyu left with a pair of eagle-like eyes.
The yamen was very busy with things. For several days in a row, Lu Yi left early and came back late, and even didn't come back for several days. Looking at his worried look, Mu Siyu couldn't do anything else besides taking care of his food and daily life.
Lu Yi came in from the yamen holding a stack of official documents and said, "Scribe Wen, these are yours."
"Thank you, Master Lu." Wen Wensong smiled and said, "Why do I need to trouble you to deliver it in person?"
"Shao Pi." Lu Yi smiled lightly: "I'll treat you to a drink tonight."
"Hehe, I'll be waiting then." After Wen Wensong finished speaking, he opened the official document and said, "This case is not easy to handle. Mr. Lu, do you have any good ideas?"
"Okay, let me take a look."
Tang Sanyu saw the two people discussing the case and turned around to ask the person next to him: "Have the recent official documents been approved a little less?"
"Is it less? No!" said the clerk next to him: "It's the same as usual, but the case is too troublesome and it will take some time."
"Yes, the recent cases are really troublesome." Others agreed.
"Speaking of which, Secretary Tang, have you had no cases recently?"
Pairs of eyes looked at Tang Sanyu.
Then he looked at Lu Yi.
Suddenly, everyone showed a look of understanding.
Lu Yi was about to leave when he was stopped by Tang Sanyu.
"Master Lu, haven't there been any cases assigned to me recently?" Tang Sanyu said displeased.
Lu Yi looked at him and said calmly: "Yes, come with me."
