The princess is so sweet and charming that she can't escape if she offends the prince.

Chapter 33: Hard words but honest hands
Three law divisions.

Xiao Lan took the meal and finished it quickly. Just after taking two sips of the drink, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

He paused, cleared his throat and asked, "Who?"

Pei Jing opened his mouth and joked: "It's me. Why do I close the door so tightly in broad daylight?"

Although they are friends, they still have certain boundaries. If the door was open at this time, Pei Jing would probably walk into the house without hesitation, but the door was closed, so he still had to knock first.

Xiao Lan handled the scene calmly and said in a steady voice: "Come in."

When Pei Jing entered the house, Xiao Lan happened to open the window. He wrinkled his nose and smelled: "What does your house smell like?"

Xiao Lan said without changing her expression and without a beating heart: "I just dug out some old files, take them out and take a look."

Pei Jing said "Oh", no doubt he was there, no wonder the door was closed.

Xiao Lan glanced at him: "Why, do you have any clues about what you were asked to investigate?"

Pei Jing shook his head and said straight to the point: "I have something else to do with you today. Miss Ruan said that she wants to treat us to dinner. I want you to give her a message."

Xiao Lan twitched her lips: "When did the relationship between you two become so good that you actually helped her speak up?"

Pei Jing groaned: "Aren't these all friends? Many friends lead to many paths."

Xiao Lan looked at him intently: "Tell me, what benefits did she give you?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Pei Jing had no choice but to confess honestly. He took out a jade sign from his chest: "No, membership card, you can enjoy internal discounts."

Seeing him like this, Xiao Lan couldn't bear to look at it: "Just a brand makes you sell your friends for glory?"

Pei Jing: "Huh? You can't say that. Miss Ruan also gave me priority to try new products. We can try new dishes tomorrow when we go, and...

Just based on your relationship, why, isn't it still right to support her? You have ruined this girl's innocent reputation. "

Xiao Lan paused and raised his eyes to meet Pei Jing's teasing gaze.

Xiao Lan finally decided to go "reluctantly". After seeing Pei Jing off, he closed the door and took out the happy water he had just hidden. Just as he was about to take a sip, someone knocked on the door again.

He sighed and said, "Who?"

Ling Xiao: "My lord, it's me."

Xiao Lan resignedly hid the happy water: "Come in."

Ling Xiao: "Your Majesty, you asked me to investigate Miss Ruan's life experience and I have some clues."

"Ruan Ning grew up in the capital. Although she lived in Zhuangzi in the countryside for a period of time when she was young, after comparisons between the servants of the Marquis and the people in Zhuangzi, from appearance to figure, it was confirmed that Miss Ruan is Ruan Ning.

However, apart from that, I did find a piece of evidence that could confirm Miss Ruan's identity. "

"I heard that Miss Ruan has a plum blossom-shaped birthmark on her lower back. Unfortunately, she has a maid named Xiaoshuang who serves closely. She grew up with Miss Ruan. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of it."

If you let others see it, you won't be able to see it. Otherwise, let him go. If you don't behave, you won't be a human being. Who should worry the prince.

Ling Xiao hesitated and said, "How about taking a peek at Miss Ruan while she's taking a bath?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan suddenly raised his head and said word by word: "What did you say?"

Ling Xiao choked: "Otherwise let them go..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Lan interrupted: "No, there is no need to investigate this matter."

Ling Xiao wasn't sure what he was thinking, but since Xiao Lan had spoken, he could only respond: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, just as he was about to leave, Xiao Lan added: "You don't need to watch, and I don't need others to bring everyone back."

Ling Xiao:…

"Yes."

*
The next day, Xiao Lan and Pei Jing arrived at the store as scheduled, and Qin Huai came with them. Pei Jing always felt that Qin Huai's close relationship was a bit strange.

It's really strange for a hot-blooded man not to be at home with his beautiful daughter-in-law, but to be with a group of grown men like them all day long.

With this in mind, he asked. He leaned over and asked slyly: "Qin Huai, did you have a fight with the princess? Look at your face, it's almost drooped to the ground."

Qin Huai pushed him away with a palm and said angrily: "Go to hell."

He married a wife who couldn't see or touch her, and made him sleep on a hard bed every day. He was offending everyone.

Thinking of this, Qin Huai became very angry and called to the waiter in the store: "It's been so long, why haven't the dishes been served yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ruan Ning walked in with a plate: "I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Seven or eight new dishes were served in a row, and Pei Jing was eager to try them. He had 100% trust in the chefs in the store, and there should be no bad dishes here.

After eating, sure enough.

Pei Jing gave Ruan Ning a thumbs up: "Miss Ruan is amazing. This dish has a mellow taste and is smooth and not greasy. To be honest, I have eaten in restaurants of all sizes in the capital and have never tasted something so fresh." Ruan Ning smiled: "You will never get this stir-fried kidney flower anywhere else, it's a unique secret recipe."

Pei Jing is well-informed. When he heard the name of the dish, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then he asked, "What is this dish made of?"

Ruan Ning answered honestly: "Pork loin, this thing is very good for nourishing kidney qi."

She didn't say the second half of the sentence, especially to men, to make up for it.

Pei Jing's smile froze on his lips, and he already had a bad feeling in his heart, so he asked again: "Where are the dishes?"

Ruan Ning introduced to several people in turn: "This is the nine-turn large intestine, that is the stir-fried pork belly, and the sauced pork liver. They taste good, but you can't taste the original fishy smell."

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood. Qin Huai, who had eaten the most just now, said bluntly: "It's delicious, but I didn't expect that pork loin and large intestine can also be made into a dish."

Ruan Ning: "Of course, there are a lot of good things in pigs, No, you all ate up that plate of spicy fried pig blood."

These pigs are cheap and can be cooked and put on the table. They are economical and delicious. She is really a little genius.

The corner of Xiao Lan's mouth twitched. He had never seen this kind of cuisine before. This woman had all kinds of ideas.

While several people were silent, Ruan Ning asked people to bring the drinks: "This is our new product, pearl milk tea, lemonade and orange passion fruit, please try it."

When they thought that they had just eaten pig sesame, several people immediately picked up their cups and took a sip. Well, they came back to life.

Ruan Ning saw how many people were drinking and suddenly asked, "Do you guys still want to drink the Fairy Happy Water?"

Xiao Lan's eyes moved slightly and he put down the cup in his hand. Pei Jing was a frequent visitor here and answered first, "No need. It doesn't mean that you can't drink that stuff often."

Ruan Ning nodded: "Yes, this fairy water, the bubbles in it are not good for bones. Drinking too much can lead to osteoporosis. It's okay to drink it occasionally, but you can't drink it every day, especially for people who practice martial arts."

Speaking of this, she realized a change and suddenly said: "Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment and said seriously: "I don't know, I don't like drinking that."

Ruan Ning lowered his head and tried hard to suppress a smile. He had such a tough mouth. When he thought of the scene where he secretly drank the happy water, he felt a little cute inexplicably.

Since he didn't want others to know, Ruan Ning didn't expose it and only gave him some indirect information.

After almost eating, Ruan Ning approached the private room to do business when Pei Jing and Qin Huai were not present.

She took the guy's business and laughed innocently: "Your Majesty, please be so noble and give me a word."

Xiao Lan glanced at her: "Is this how the idiom is used?"

If he didn't refuse directly, then there was something going on. Ruan Ning stepped forward and put down the pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "Oh, that's what it means anyway. Move your noble hand and write a few words."

Xiao Lan said calmly: "What to write?"

Ruan Ning said the words he had prepared long ago: "Just blessings, similar to the kind that I hope you have warm winters and a cold spring; I hope you have lights when it gets dark and umbrellas when it rains. This kind of chicken soup, will you be able to do it?" ?”

Xiao Lan raised her eyebrows: "Chicken soup?"

Ruan Ning paused and immediately explained: "It's just some beautiful words."

Xiao Lan raised his eyes and looked at her. Since she had just opened the business, Ruan Ning had to do many things by herself. During this period, she was so busy that her face had lost weight. In addition, there was still a thin layer of sweat on her forehead due to the busy work just now.

In the capital, it's not that there are no businessmen from high-ranking families, but most of them do it for fun. They basically just throw away the shop and don't care about anything else. I have to say that he quite appreciates Ruan Ning's drive.

Xiao Lan asked seriously: "Why do you want to open a store?"

Ruan Ning did not hide it, and said bluntly: "You can make money with your own hands. In this world, everyone can run, rely on water to flow, and you will never fall if you rely on yourself, and you have to do something while living." What, so that I can live up to this life in the next world."

Xiao Lan took a deep look at her, she seemed to have a strong character, and for some reason, she remembered the dance she danced that day.

In this case, Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment, then started writing: Use dreams as horses, and live up to your youth.

Just hope she lives up to it.

Ruan Ning saw Xiao Lan's words, smiled with satisfaction, and immediately took it downstairs and hung it up.

She looked left and right and couldn't help but admire: perfect.

Just after she finished hanging the calligraphy, Pei Jing and the others happened to come downstairs. He recognized Xiao Lan's calligraphy at a glance and glanced at him with interest.

You have a tough talk, but your hands are very honest. Isn’t it better to write for someone else?

Just when he was about to make a few teasing remarks, his eyes suddenly turned and he saw a line of words, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.

He pointed to the words and showed them to Ruan Ning: "Miss Ruan, are you familiar with Fu Yanzhi?"

After he said this, Xiao Lan and Qin Huai also looked up and saw clearly written above:

Ruan An'an, may all your wishes come true.

Fu Yanzhi.
