Chapter 322 Trouble
It was getting colder and colder, and the high walls of the Metropolitan Government's Mansion were blackened by the cold, making it look desolate and lonely.
The bustling city in the past has long since become deserted, and pedestrians passing by have subconsciously taken a detour.
Dudu Luo is still imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The case of Dudu Luo's private release of the young son of Zhennan King and the poisoning of Dudu Luo are under investigation.
And no matter when the charges were convicted, in people's eyes, the Metropolitan Government's Mansion was completely cold like this colder day.
The rotten vegetables and leaves thrown on the vermilion lacquer gate of Luo Mansion began to be cleaned up, and those who had been oppressed by the Jinlin Guard finally found a place to vent.
The still fragrant Youjian wine shop aroused the thoughts of some people.
Wei Wen was sitting in the tea house diagonally opposite a wine shop, drinking tea in sips, her eyes always resting on the blue wine cover fluttering in the wind.
The faint scent began to float over.
She knew that this was a restaurant that started making soup.
Mutton pot, fish ball pot, sauerkraut white meat pot... With this carefully brewed soup, the taste is extra delicious.
Since the accident in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, a restaurant has been deserted, but there have been occasional drinkers recently.
And her second brother ran here every three days after enduring it for a while at first.
It’s just a pot with ordinary ingredients, so it’s really delicious?
After she questioned, the second brother brought fish head and fish ball pot back home from a restaurant yesterday...
Just thinking about it like this, the taste buds seem to be awakened.
Wei Wen took a sip of tea, suppressed her sudden appetite, and looked out the window expressionlessly.
Finally, the figure she had been waiting for appeared.
Wei Wen immediately got up and walked out of the teahouse.
"Guest officer, our restaurant is not open yet." Sheng Sanlang stopped him.
Wei Wen frowned and glanced at him, with contempt hidden in her eyes.
This person seems to be Luo Sheng's cousin.
Really a person without self-knowledge.
The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is about to end, and I don't know how many people will be implicated. If I don't draw a clear line early, I will stay here as a waiter in a foolish way.
"I'm not here for a drink, I have something to do with Miss Luo."
"Then wait a moment." Sheng Saburo put down his broom and ran in.
Wei Wen bent her lips and sneered, and stepped directly into the lobby door.
"Cousin, someone is looking for you—"
Luo Sheng, who just took off his big clothes, has already seen Wei Wen who followed.
"Meet the Princess." Luo Sheng slightly bent his knees.
Wei Wen condescendingly scanned the girl who saluted her, and said indifferently: "Miss Luo, don't be too polite."
Luo Sheng has already straightened his back: "The Princess wants to ask me for something?"
Wei Wen felt lost and unhappy for a moment.
She enjoyed the feeling of Luo Sheng bending his knee to her.
Unfortunately, it was just a salute.
But it won't be long before it's not just because of saluting.
She is looking forward to that day.
Luo Sheng looked at Wei Wen coldly, curving the corners of his lips.
I don't know what daydream this little princess is doing, but she looks quite immersed in it.
Wei Wen withdrew her thoughts, raised her hand to straighten her temple hair, and said with a bit of reserve: "I came to see Miss Luo today because I have a heartless request."
"Unfeeling request?" Luo Sheng raised his eyebrows.
People who say this generally make requests that are embarrassing or unpleasant.
In that case, why bother to speak?
"The princess might as well speak up."
"I want to borrow the cook from the restaurant."
As soon as these words came out, the female shopkeeper who turned over the ledger, Shi Yan who cleaned the table, and the red bean who cracked melon seeds...everyone in the lobby stopped their movements with astonishment on their faces.
Only Luo Sheng asked without changing his face: "I don't quite understand what the princess means, can the princess make it clearer?"
Wei Wen pursed her lips and smiled: "It's like this. My mother and concubine have always had a poor appetite. Yesterday I ate the pot from the wine shop, and my appetite was much better than usual. I would like to borrow the help of the chef from the expensive wine shop to come to the palace to serve me. The concubine cooks—"
Red Dou directly dropped the melon seeds: "Is there anyone else who went to other people's restaurants to borrow cooks?"
Wei Wen's face turned cold, and she didn't look at Hong Dou: "Miss Luo, when is it the turn of a maid to intervene between us?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Why should the princess care about a little maid, let's continue."
Staring at Luo Sheng's slightly curved lips, Wei Wen sneered in her heart.
As expected, without the support of Governor Luo, how could Luo Sheng have the guts to be domineering.
"Miss Luo, don't get me wrong, I just ask the cook to come over at noon, so as not to delay the opening of the restaurant at night. I also ask Miss Luo to make it easier for me to fulfill my filial piety to my mother and concubine."
Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"What is Miss Luo laughing at?" Wei Wen heard presumptuousness in this laughter.
"I laugh at the princess's unique thinking. Why do you need others to fulfill your filial piety to the princess? This kind of filial piety seems to be discounted, right?"
Wei Wen didn't expect Luo Sheng to speak so harshly, and immediately covered her face with frost: "So, Miss Luo won't borrow it?"
"Sorry, the cook is not allowed to borrow."
"Miss Luo, it's convenient for others and for yourself." Wei Wen said meaningfully.
Luo Sheng's face darkened: "Is the princess threatening me? Today the royal residence borrows a cook at noon, and tomorrow the Duke's residence borrows a cook at night. Once this precedent is set, our restaurant will not be able to open?"
Without waiting for Wei Wen to speak, Luo Sheng said again: "The princess wants to be filial to her mother, so she must either eat with the princess or take it home. Why do you have to borrow my cook?"
Wei Wen held back her anger, and said coldly: "As I said, my mother and concubine are in poor health and cannot go out, and the food brought home in winter will spoil the flavor. Only by asking the cook to cook at home can we get the best of both worlds."
"The princess has the best of both worlds, but it is more difficult for others." Luo Sheng pointed to the door, "If the princess doesn't drink, please go back, and I won't send you away."
"Miss Luo, you really don't want to show any kindness, and you want to do everything right?"
"It's clearly the princess who wants to do everything right." Luo Sheng raised his hand and brushed the broken hair behind his ears.
Wei Wen's eyes moved down and landed on the shining bracelet on the girl's wrist.
That is her gold inlaid seven jewels bracelet.
A wave of hostility emerged spontaneously.
Father was assassinated and asked for help from the divine doctor, Luo Sheng took the opportunity to ask for her bracelet.
For the sake of her father, she had to swallow her anger and give the bracelet away.
Now, Governor Luo is in prison, and she came to borrow the cook, why can Luo Sheng ignore her, and don't take her as the princess in the slightest?
Hehe, Luo Sheng took the rumors seriously, thinking that Uncle Wang treats her differently, right?
Even if this is the case, Uncle Wang is not in the capital these days.
This time, she insisted on teaching that **** surnamed Luo a lesson.
"Miss Luo is stubborn. Farewell!" Wei Wen glanced at Luo Sheng, and walked away with a sullen face.
Sheng Saburo came over, unable to hide his worry: "Cousin, did you offend the princess?"
Luo Sheng smiled, brushing the gold bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips: "Didn't you offend me a long time ago?"
"Is she going to cause trouble?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm troublesome."
There is another update at night.
