The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 229 Pretending to be Noble
As Fang Qingqing expected at the beginning, the recipe business is getting better and better.

The key is that the positioning of the recipes is for ordinary people, so the price of each dish is not high.

And Mrs. Li's cooking skills are very homely, and some people who have to go outside will come again next time after eating.

And I will tell my friends or take relatives and friends to eat there. Word of mouth is the best advertisement.

After the number of repeat customers increased, the passenger flow basically stabilized. Li Erlang also learned to go to the suburbs of Beijing to purchase large quantities of chicken, duck, fish, etc. without a teacher.

The rice noodles are all included in Li Xiuping's salary, and there is no need to spend money to buy them. After such a stable business, even Shi, who has always been good at calculations, no longer thinks that the rent is expensive.

Instead, he was thinking about trying to earn more money so that he could buy the shop.

In this way, the rest of Lao Li's family can truly settle down in the capital.

At the same time, Li Xiuping also brought some customers to the restaurant, and also "introduced" the takeaway business under Fang Qingqing's suggestion.

It was also the last time when Li Xiuping came back for dinner, his family members asked him how he was eating in the official residence.

From his narration, Fang Qingqing also knew that, apart from the No. [-] scholar Tanhua, there were many young court officials living in the official residence.

Basically, they are Jinshi and Jinshi who have passed the examinations over the years. Not everyone can get promoted and make a fortune after obtaining an official position.

This place in the capital city is real, and it is not easy to live in a big place.

So in addition to Jinke, there are also some former Jinshi masters who are still living in the official residence, and have not purchased their own houses outside.

Originally, I felt sorry for Li Xiuping who couldn't eat well by himself, but he and that Jingrui Xu Zifan were good colleagues.

So every time I went to the restaurant, the shop would prepare meals for three people, and Da Mao or Er Mao would send them to the Imperial Academy.

This is also Fang Qingqing's selfishness, regardless of whether this Jingrui will do the same thing as the big villain in the imperial examination essay.

But cannibalism is short-sighted, and if he has a good relationship now, even if he really rebels in the future, he should be lenient with the Li family, right?

The three of them ate very well at noon every day, and as a result, other colleagues were envious and jealous, and sometimes they even asked Da Mao to help them give an extra serving.

Therefore, Fang Qingqing tossed out the take-out business that was popular in later generations in advance, and Da Mao Er Mao Li Da Lang Li Er Lang could help run errands.

They are just delivering Chinese food, as a working meal, as for dinner, these old men can go to the shop to eat by themselves if they are interested after leaving their jobs.

Of course, they wore casual clothes when they went to the restaurant to eat, and the diners who ate together did not know that the editor or chief of the Hanlin Academy might be sitting at the table next to him.

Today, Tianzi is a gentle and low-key person, so he doesn't like the bullying style of his officials who bully men and women.

It is also because there are many officials from the Hanlin Academy who eat at the restaurant, so some people saw it, but it is not necessary to say that the Li family will change their membership to a merchant if they open a shop.

After all, it is just a small shop for food, with low prices and small business, suitable for ordinary people to go in and eat.

As Li Bianzhuan said at the beginning, they all went to Beijing with their whole family, adults and children had to eat.

Counting on his salary of a few taels of silver a month?
Hehe, even the rent for the yard is not enough.

Even one day when Yushi was chatting with the emperor, he even mentioned this, and the emperor laughed and said, maybe he gave too little money for the settlement?
And Dao Li's editor is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. At first, his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law supported him to study together, but now he has passed the examination to become an official.

Even if he is still poor, he will not abandon his parents, brothers and sister-in-law, and insist on bringing them to live in the capital.

From this, he recalled why Li Xiuping was selected as the number one scholar in the first place. It was precisely because of his answers in the palace examination. This person knew the people's livelihood very well.

It's not that he just stares at the book like other scholars, and the emperor is also paying attention to the new champion Lang in his heart, and he intends to cultivate a few capable confidants.

It's just that "Jade can't be made into a tool", it's because he doesn't know that Li Xiuping's life in the Imperial Academy is not good, and His Majesty the Emperor has no plans to rescue him for the time being.

I really want to see how this young talent will deal with such a predicament.

Li Xiuping doesn't know about these things at present, he is still doing his own things step by step every day.

It's just that he didn't expect that Prince An was waiting outside the Imperial Academy again this time, and it was the time when he was resigned before his holiday.

This time, it wasn't even the steward or servant of the palace. Prince An was waiting there in person, which was considered a condescension.

What he said surprised Li Xiuping, and he couldn't help asking:

"Wangfei invited the fiancee of the next official to visit Prince An's Mansion?"

In fact, Princess Anle wanted to meet the so-called wife who the champion had said so clearly, but after all, she was only a daughter of the boudoir, and there were rumors of "catching a son-in-law under the list" before.

An Le knew that if she rashly asked to see Mrs. Li's wife, what troubles would arise.

Simply, she used the name of her mother and concubine.

At first, Prince An was a little unhappy, but Princess Anle became angry:

"Father, you said that you love me, but you actually did a small trick in private to make the new top scholar sit on the bench in the Hanlin Academy. If it spreads out, those literati will probably feel resentment towards our palace.

Master Li is good, but since he already has a wife, how could his daughter do such bad things as robbing her husband? "

In a word, this is her father's fault, and she has to personally apologize.

I'm ashamed to say that about Prince An, but I also know that he was impulsive about this matter.

Only then will there be an invitation from Princess An for today's trip, which makes Li Xiuping feel weird.

"My lord has also heard that Mr. Li has praised your fiancée more than once, and the little lady who can make editor Li miss must be extraordinary.

The concubine is sincerely inviting, and she will definitely treat her kindly. I also ask Mr. Li to believe in the hospitality of the king and concubine. "

"The concubine is a daughter of a famous family, but Li's fiancée is only from the countryside. I'm afraid it will hinder the nobleman's eyes."

He said he was from the countryside, but Li Xiuping couldn't hide the smile on his brows, and it was immediately obvious that he had deep feelings for his fiancée.

"To be valued by Mrs. Li, I believe that little lady must have something special. Could it be that Mrs. Li thinks that the king is not sincere enough and needs the princess to come to the door in person?"

This is what Prince An said, and it also explained that he invited Li Bianzhuan and his fiancée to the palace as guests.

Li Xiuping also knew the rules of big families, male and female guests were treated separately in the courtyard and the house, so it was difficult to refute Prince An's words.

If the other party makes unreasonable troubles, is arrogant and unreasonable, he is stronger and has a good reputation of not being afraid of power.

But now Prince An lowered his posture first, and he would be suspected of pretending to be aloof when he took Joe again.
