Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 260
In just ten days, the business of Tianfu Restaurant surpassed that of Chuanxiang Restaurant on the opposite side again. Chuanxiang Restaurant sent several spies into Tianfu Pavilion to steal the master, but they never succeeded, because the chefs all performed their own duties, and no one Knowing the whole process of ingredients, the owner of Chuanxiang Restaurant was so angry that he was about to jump his feet. Moreover, this time the shopkeeper Wu paid attention to it and put silver needles for testing poison on each table, so that customers can try it before eating. Poison, this trick is absolutely perfect, and has won unanimous praise from customers.

Half a month later, the business of Chuanxiang Restaurant was already very deserted. Once the two major signs of Tianfu Pavilion were launched, they quickly created a trend among the nobles in the capital, because Haidilao and barbecue are the only ones, and no other houses have them. Therefore, there is an endless stream of guests every day, and some even wait in line. The children of ordinary nobles make reservations in advance.

The business of the Chuanxiang House plummeted, and the door was empty. Tian Liusu heard from Lvzhu and Lvxiu that the eldest lady lost her temper and threw things every day for the past two days.

She smiled meaningfully. She guessed that the owner behind the Chuanxiang restaurant was her. Maybe the restaurant was private property under her name. She was angry and wondered if it was because of this?She sneered, so she can't hold back anymore?Angry days are yet to come.

The business of Chuanxiang Pavilion was an introduction. Half a month later, the business of more than a dozen different shops in the bustling area of ​​the capital was suppressed, including silk and satin shops, rice shops, clothing shops, jewelry shops, etc. The business of more than a dozen shops was intermittent. They were all snatched away by others, or there was an accident in the shop, and they were sued to the government and sued.

In Lanxiangyuan, there was a row of people who looked like shopkeepers kneeling, and the eldest lady sat at the top. Her brows were full of anxiety, and she almost became internally hurt. She held a pile of account books in her hand and looked at them. The more she looked at it, the angrier she became, and she wished she could tear up the account books. After reading this month's accounts, she threw all the store accounts in charge of each shopkeeper at them one by one.

"Tell me, what's going on here?" Da Furen asked sternly.

"Ma'am, you little ones don't know what's going on? It seems that all the store business has been deliberately suppressed by others this month, and they all lost money." said the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village.

"Yes, ma'am, there has never been such a situation before." He started, and the other shopkeepers echoed.

"Are you dead people? Don't you want to find out who is suppressing it? How dare they suppress the business of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The eldest lady cursed angrily.

"Madam, we have already checked, but we couldn't find any clues." Another person said.

"When the incident first happened, why didn't you come to report it? I have lost so much. If I didn't have to check the accounts at the end of the month, I don't know what the loss will be."

"Ma'am, the other party's method of doing things is very secretive, and the method is very superb. At first, it was just specious. The villain thought it was just a seasonal problem. I didn't expect other shops to be like this."

"Go back, all of you have three days to check all the profits and losses of your accounts, otherwise, you don't have to do it."

Even if the lady is anxious, there is nothing she can do. This is the property of the prime minister's mansion, and it is the most profitable shop. Why is there such a huge loss within a month?She was panicked for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.

A group of shopkeepers were scolded by her and went back to sort out their accounts, but the eldest lady couldn't sit still any longer. She got up and paced back and forth anxiously in the room, thinking of countermeasures, if Tian Jing knew about it , then her power to head the family will come to an end, and he will definitely take it back. Tian Jing is greedy for money, and will never allow her to make such a big mistake.

After Tian Jing came down to court that day, he talked with Tian Liufeng in the study about the situation in the court. He wanted Tian Liufeng to become an official in the court. The father and son were talking, and Tian Yong came to report that the second lady asked to see him.

Tian Jing wondered, what would happen to her?Since Tian Liusu returned to the mansion, he never took the initiative to recruit him, and he was too lazy to talk to her, but it was because of the imperial decree and her reputation that he attracted the envy of the ministers in the court that he allowed her to stay in the mansion, otherwise Throw her back to Tianshui Village.

He glanced at Tian Liufeng and saw that he was also puzzled, and said to Tian Yong: "Let her in."

Tian Liusu led Xue Ling in and then stepped forward to salute the two: "I have seen my father, I have seen my big brother."

"Excuse me." Tian Jing said lightly.

"Second sister, please sit down. I wonder why the second sister came to the study to find her father?" Tian Liufeng politely let Tian Liusu sit on the chair, and then asked her why she came.

"Father, big brother, and little sister went to grandma's house yesterday, and heard from grandma that big brother's 20th birthday will be three days away, so I came here to give you a gift." The box, handed it to Tian Liufeng with both hands.

There was a flash of joy in Tian Liufeng's winning streak, he stood up and took it, and said happily: "Thank you, Second Sister, I like this gift very much."

"Big brother didn't even open it to read, so how do you know if you like it or not?" Tian Liusu couldn't help laughing.

"As long as it's from my sister, I'll like anything." Tian Liufeng was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he opened the box and took out the contents.

I saw that it was a piece of crystal clear, warm and translucent jade pendant, with tassels on it, it looked like a priceless treasure.

"Big brother, my sister chose this from the gifts given by the emperor, specially as a congratulatory birthday gift, I wonder if my brother likes it?" Tian Liusu said with a smile.

"I like it, I like it, I like it so much." Tian Liufeng nodded repeatedly.

"Liusu, the emperor has given you quite a lot of treasures." Tian Jing saw the piece of jade and knew it was a gift from the emperor, so he couldn't help but speak enviously.

"In the future, my daughter will choose a suitable gift for my father. I don't know if my brother will celebrate his whole life in the house?" Tian Liusu changed his voice and asked Tian Jing who was seated.

"Well, naturally we have to celebrate. I am busy with my father's recent affairs. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten it. The day of whole life is also an important day." Tian Jing didn't know why Tian Liusu said that, but he also She was secretly happy that she could still remember Tian Liuchuan's birthday.

"Father, since I want to celebrate my son's birthday, let me handle it myself, so I won't bother mother." Tian Liuchuan said suddenly.

"Alright, you can live it however you want." After Tian Jing finished speaking, he called out to the door: "Tian Yong."

"Master Xiang." Tian Yong replied outside when he heard Tian Jing's words.

"Go to the cashier to withdraw 6000 taels of silver and give it to the eldest son, so that he can organize the birthday party."

"Yes." Tian Yong agreed, turned around and hurried to the cashier to withdraw the money.

At this time, Tian Liusu stood up and saluted: "Father, big brother, since the gift has been delivered, my daughter will leave first, and I wish big brother a happy birthday in advance."
