The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 688

When Mo Xuerui hurried out of the house, Mo Qingcang happened to see her.Seeing her appearance, he immediately became suspicious. After thinking about it, he quietly followed her, and when he reached a place not far in front of the palace, he was sure that she definitely wanted to go to the palace again!

Mo Qingcang was really angry.

Let me tell you, she is the concubine's daughter of Mo's mansion, she wants to have status and appearance, why did she hang herself on the tree of Juelin?The point is that this tree is not interested in her at all. If she wants to die, Jue Lin will probably suggest that she find another place to die instead of dying in front of him or something.You said why does she insist on clinging to Jue Lin for such a person?Now that they have established a relationship with Xiaoxi, and they still give her a marriage, what's the point of her continuing to pester her?
Could it be that she is really going to enter the palace to be a side concubine as it has been rumored for a while?Not to mention that Jue Lintong disagreed, even Xiaoxi would not agree!Parents, him, and elder brother will not agree!Let her die!
Seeing that her carriage was about to stop in front of the gate of the palace, Mo Qingcang hurried up and stopped the carriage.

Seeing that it was the second son, the coachman was still sullen, so he knew that he must have been annoyed by the young lady's behavior again.

"What's going on? Why did the carriage stop? Has the palace arrived?" Mo Xuerui asked strangely in the carriage.

"...Miss, it's Second Young Master..."

"What? Second brother?!" As soon as Mo Xuerui's surprised voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Mo Xuerui's delicately made-up face.

She glared at Mo Qingcang and asked angrily: "Second brother, why are you blocking my carriage?"

Mo Qingcang stared at her expressionlessly and said: "Do you want to go to the palace? If so, I advise you not to shame yourself. Jue Lin is in the mansion right now, and he won't give you money when he sees you." What a face, don't take it upon yourself."

Mo Xuerui puffed her cheeks and said: "What are you talking about? Why am I ashamed when I go to the palace and bring shame on myself? Am I embarrassing for you? You just don't like me, do you?"

Mo Qingcang curled his lips and said: "I really don't like you. How can you make me like you? Look at the things you have done, which one makes you worry?"

Mo Xuerui was so angry that he was speechless.

I really don't know what crimes she committed in her previous life, but in this life she has a brother like him, so she really wants to piss her off.

"Get out of the way! It's fine if you don't help, but you can't help! I just like Juelin, what's wrong? You wait for me, and I will impress you. When I become Juelin's concubine, you will know It's my job!" Mo Xuerui said stubbornly, lifting her chin.

Mo Qingcang glanced at her contemptuously, and snorted: "Jue Lin is not interested in you at all, okay? Even if you can please the old concubine, Jue Lin will never marry you, and Xiao Xi will never marry you." Let Juelin marry you, even if he is a side concubine or a concubine. Given the importance Juelin attaches to Xiao Xi, if she doesn't want to, Juelin will never do anything to make her unhappy. So you If you want to marry into the palace, you can only dream!"

Mo Xuerui frowned, "Mu Jinxi won't let the young prince Juelin marry his side concubine? How is it possible? Could it be that she hopes that the young prince Juelin will only have her as his concubine? Is she crazy?"

"You don't have to worry about the rest, anyway, now you come back to the house with me, don't go in and make trouble."

"No! Mu Jinxi came to the palace today, she must want to please the old concubine, I can't let her succeed, I must stop her!" Mo Xuerui said stubbornly.

Mo Qingcang was startled: "Xiaoxi is in the palace now? How do you know?"

Mo Xuerui looked at him proudly and said: "Of course I have my source of news, anyway, Mu Jinxi is in the palace now, so I want to go too!"

Mo Qingcang frowned, with a pensive expression on his face, Mo Xuerui hurriedly let the carriage pass by him quickly, and arrived in front of the gate of the palace in no time, Mo Qingcang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

When Mo Qingcang came over, Mo Xuerui had already got off the carriage and asked the maid to knock on the door.

Seeing this, Mo Qingcang had no choice but to give up and stood beside her, thinking that he would go into the palace with her and keep a close eye on her.

"What are you doing? Why don't you leave?" Mo Xuerui squinted at him in disgust.

"Why should I leave? Can't I come to Jue Lin?" Mo Qingcang also looked at her sideways.

The two siblings snorted at each other at the same time.

Soon the gate of the palace was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was stunned when he saw the person standing in front of the gate, "Second Master Mo, Miss Mo?"

Mo Xuerui showed a decent smile and said: "I'm here to pay respects to the old concubine, you go and report."

"I'm here to look for Jue Lin." Mo Qingcang said as he was about to step in, but was stopped by someone.

"Second son, wait a moment, let me inform the old concubine and the young prince." After speaking, he quickly closed the door, making Mo Qingcang unable to recover for a long time.

He was stopped outside the gate of the palace again?Hasn't the misunderstanding been explained?Why were you stopped again?
"Haha, you still say that I, you yourself were stopped? Second brother, did you offend the little prince Juelin? Not long ago you said that the little prince Juelin wouldn't let you into the palace, and now it's still the same, you You fell out with the little prince Juelin, right?" Mo Xuerui laughed.

At the beginning, Mo Qingcang wondered if he had offended Jue Lin again without knowing it, but soon he thought of the key point.

Xiaoxi is in the palace, could it be that Xiaobao is also in the palace?That's why the servants of the palace said they wanted to notify someone when they saw someone visiting?After all, Xiaobao's identity has not been made public yet, so it's no wonder the servants stopped him.

But if this is the case, they shouldn't be able to enter the palace today, right?If they were allowed in, wouldn't Xiaobao be exposed?

Just thinking about it, the gate of the palace opened again, and it was still the same person from before.

"Second son, Ms. Mo, I'm really sorry. The old concubine told the young prince that I don't see any guests today. Please come back another day."

Mo Qingcang looked at me and I knew it was like this, I turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mo Xuerui.

"Second brother, wait!"

Then he asked the servant: "Why is this? Could it be that the old princess is inconvenient, so I don't see any guests today? That day the old princess clearly said that if I want to come to the palace, I can do it anytime!"

"Miss Mo, I can't say more about the details, but it is indeed the old concubine and the young prince who said they didn't see any guests today."

While Mo Xuerui was in a daze, the servant cleverly closed the door quickly.

Mo Xuerui was so angry that she jumped up and down.When she came back to her senses, she found that the second elder brother had already walked down the steps of the palace. She turned around and chased after the servants of the palace.

"Second brother, wait! Do you know why we were rejected outside the palace today?"

Mo Qing said desolately; "How would I know? But since the old concubine and Jue Lin both said that they won't see any guests today, let's go back."

Mo Xuerui narrowed her eyes and stared at Mo Qingcang for a while, then said: "Okay, let's go back."

Mo Qingcang still had some doubts and couldn't believe that his sister agreed to leave so readily, but seeing that she really walked up to the carriage and got on the carriage, he was relieved, and got into the carriage himself.

It's just that when the carriage reached the street, Mo Xuerui said that she was not going back home, she was going to buy jewelry, and asked Mo Qingcang to go back first.

Seeing the carriage parked outside the jewelry store, Mo Qingcang let Mo Xuerui get off the carriage without thinking too much. Mo Xuerui walked into the jewelry shop with her maid, and Mo Qingcang watched her go in That's it, let the carriage go home.

Mo Xuerui noticed that Mo Qingcang had left in the jewelry store, and after a while she also walked out of the jewelry store, returned the same way, and came to the palace again.

"Miss, what are we doing back here? We can't get in either." Mo Xuerui's maid asked in confusion.

"What do you know, there must be a reason why the old concubine and the young prince Juelin didn't see any visitors today, and it must have something to do with that Mu Jinxi! If I can't go in, I'll wait outside! I don't believe she won't come out and go back to the Xiao Mansion! As long as she comes out I'll stop her right away! Find out!"

"Ah, miss, you want to wait here? But, but we don't know when Miss Mu will leave the palace?" The servant girl was very surprised.

In case that Miss Mu didn't leave the palace until evening, would they have to wait here until evening?Now is the time!How can the young lady wait outside the palace for so long?Although the weather is getting warmer now, it is very likely that you will catch a cold if you stay outside for a long time. If the lady feels uncomfortable, why don't you beat her to death when you go back to the master and madam?
"That's why I have to wait here. Otherwise, I'll come back when she leaves. It's just that I don't know, so I have to wait. Don't talk too much, I've made up my mind!" Mo Xuerui said with a firm face, There is no room for negotiation.

The maid was in a dilemma.Hey, she knew that it was impossible for Miss to go back to the house so easily with her temper. Sure enough, she just said that buying jewelry was a lie to the Second Young Master. How could the Second Young Master believe it?Can she run to inform the Second Young Master now, and ask the Second Young Master to bring the young lady back to the mansion?

After thinking about it, the servant girl had no choice but to say: "Miss, since you insist on waiting, why don't we find a place nearby and sit down first, and then come over when the time is almost up? Miss, you can't stand here forever, it will take a long time Your feet hurt, and the wind here is strong, which will mess up your bun, won't Miss Mu make her compete when I see you later?"

The servant girl has served Mo Xuerui for so long, so she naturally understands her temperament, and she also knows where to start to persuade her.

Sure enough, Mo Xuerui hesitated after hearing what her maid said.

"But, if I leave, what if Mu Jinxi leaves without me noticing?" Wasn't she waiting in vain?
"Miss, let's find a place that is relatively close, and where we can see the situation on the side of the palace. In this way, Miss doesn't have to stand in the sun, and can also notice when Miss Mu leaves. In this way, Miss doesn't have to worry about it." Miss Mu didn't notice it when she left, and this servant will pay close attention!"

Mo Xuerui thought about it and thought it made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

The two found a teahouse nearby. There was an elegant room on the second floor of the teahouse. If you opened the window and looked towards the palace, you would see the gate of the palace and a place in front of the gate. If someone leaves, it is absolutely fine. have witnessed.

Mo Xuerui sat down and asked the maid to pay close attention to the movement of the palace.

"Huh? Miss, isn't that the Second Young Master? Why is the Second Young Master back?" The servant girl was a little taken aback.

It's reasonable for the lady to come back, but the second son, didn't the little prince say that he didn't see any guests?That being the case, why did the Second Young Master come back?Mo Xuerui hurriedly stood up and went to the window to have a look, and she saw her second brother as expected, and immediately became furious.Even from afar, she stared at him fiercely, wishing to stare him out of a hole.And what made her even more angry was that he soon entered the palace!

While getting angry, Mo Xuerui was even more sure that there was something tricky about today's affairs, the more she was like this, the more she had to figure out why Mu Jinxi came to the palace today!
The master and servant waited in the tea house for a long time before finally seeing a carriage slowly driving out from the side door of the palace, and then the old concubine, young prince Juelin and Mo Qingcang came out of the gate.

When Mo Xuerui heard the maid's report, she immediately stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the carriage without blinking.

I don't know if it was her luck or something, but looking at it, she really saw something unusual.

Mo Xuerui frowned, wondering if she was dazzled, or because she was far away, so she misread?Otherwise, why did she see that there seemed to be a child in the carriage?
Then she remembered that during the Chinese New Year, someone said that they saw people from the Xiao family going out to play in the countryside. There seemed to be a child in the crowd, and they were very close to Mu Jinxi, and the Xiao family seemed to love this child very much.At that time, some people still doubted whether this was Mu Jinxi's child, but it was denied later, because the child seemed to be four or five years old, and Mu Jinxi looked only sixteen or seventeen. How could she possibly What about a child that big?If it was hers, could it be that she gave birth to a child when she was a teenager?Impossible.

But now she saw the child herself, and she went to the palace with Mu Jinxi to meet the old concubine and young prince Juelin, and the old concubine and young prince Juelin even came out to see them off in person!This is too wrong, right?

She also saw that before the carriage left, the little prince Juelin walked to the carriage window and said something affectionately to the child in the carriage, and reached out to touch his head, and then put down the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage slowly moved away. Drove away.

Mo Xuerui blocked the window by herself, and the maid couldn't see anything at all, but seeing that something was wrong on the young lady's face, she asked worriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Did you see something?" Otherwise, why is his face so strange.

"Do you know how old Mu Jinxi is?" Mo Xuerui suddenly turned to look at her maid and asked seriously.

The servant girl was stunned, then shook her head reflexively and said, "Miss, how can this servant know how old Miss Mu is? The servant only knows how old Miss Mu is."

"Forget it, I'm sure you don't know. Does anyone know how old Mu Jinxi is now?" Mo Xuerui rubbed her chin and said to herself.

The servant girl said honestly: "Miss, the Xiao family, and Miss Mu's family should know how old she is."

Mo Xuerui's complexion changed, she gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Are you going to ask the Xiao family how old Mu Jinxi is now? Do you think they will tell me?"

They're going to take her for a lunatic, right?
The servant girl was silent for a while and then said: "What about the second son? Didn't the second son and Miss Mu know each other for a long time? The second son should know how old Miss Mu is this year. Why don't you go back to the house and ask the second son?"

Mo Xuerui frowned in disgust, thinking of asking the second brother, the second brother would definitely not say anything, but there seemed to be no one else to ask besides him, it would be better to ask the second brother than Xiao Xiao, right?When asked Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao couldn't say anything.

Mo Xuerui looked at the gate of the palace. The old concubine, the young prince Juelin and the second brother had already entered the palace again, and the still quietness was restored in front of the gate.

"Miss, what did you see just now? The slave girl seems to be a little bit uneasy seeing you?" the maid asked with concern.

Mo Xuerui opened her mouth, she didn't know why she didn't say what she saw just now, but shook her head and said: "It's nothing, Mu Jinxi has already left, let's go back to the mansion too. Go buy some jewelry, or second brother will know that I lied to him when he returns home."

"Oh, yes, Miss." The servant girl was stunned again.

Is the lady not going to the palace yet?

Accidentally, the servant girl asked the question in her heart.

Mo Xuerui glared, and said angrily: "Why does this lady have such a stupid maid like you? Now that the second brother is still in the palace, won't I run into the second brother when I go to the palace now? What are you doing buying jewelry? Just go and tell the second brother that I didn't go home just now."

The servant girl smiled silly with her mouth open, which made Mo Xuerui even more depressed.

After returning home, Mo Xuerui waited and waited until it was time for dinner, and Mo Qingcang finally came back, but there were so many people at the dinner table, it was difficult for her to ask, and she endured it until the meal was over, and each went back to the room It was only after Mo Xuerui that he chased to Mo Qingcang's yard.

"What are you doing in my yard?" Mo Qingcang asked with raised eyebrows.

"Second brother, I have something to ask you, as long as you answer me, I will leave immediately, otherwise I will stay in your yard, stay in your room, and stay on your bed tonight!"

The corner of Mo Qingcang's mouth twitched. He didn't know if it was because he was in a good mood, so he waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Okay, just ask!"

"Second brother, let me ask you, do you know how old Mu Jinxi is now?" Mo Xuerui asked directly without beating around the bush.

Mo Qingcang was startled, "Why are you asking this?"

"Don't worry about it, anyway, just tell me how old Mu Jinxi is now."

"No, if you want to know, you have to tell me first, otherwise how would I know what you want to do when you politely ask people how old they are?" Mo Qingcang insisted on asking clearly.

Mo Xuerui stared at him angrily, bit her lips and said reluctantly: "I just want to know how old she is and if she is younger than me, otherwise why would the little prince Juelin fall in love with her and not me? ?”

Mo Qingcang frowned: "Really?" Because of this?

Mo Xuerui raised her chin and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do? You are not a woman, how do you know what a woman's mind is like?"

But Mo Qingcang still stared at her suspiciously, as if he didn't believe her words.

"Okay, I've already told you, it's time for you to tell me, how old is Mu Jinxi now?"

Mo Qingcang spread his hands and said, "I don't know how old she is, I only know that she is old enough."

Although he and Xiaoxi knew each other well, but it was related to the girl's age, how could he, a foreigner, know?In addition, Xiaoxi was not a person who grew up in the capital, so he was even more unclear.You can't ask Ah Xiao and Jue Lin, if he asks, they will definitely beat him up.

When Mo Xuerui heard his words, she immediately became angry.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I also know that she is Jiji, how old is Jiji? Sixteen or seventeen? Eighteen or nineteen?"

"I said why are you asking so clearly? Are you trying to do something again? I warn you, don't provoke Xiaoxi, you understand?" Mo Qingcang said seriously.

Seeing that he couldn't answer the question here, Mo Xuerui turned her head and snorted coldly, and left angrily, making Mo Qingcang grit her teeth while looking at her back.

After thinking about it, he couldn't figure out what was the use of her asking Xiaoxi's age, and felt that knowing her age didn't make any tricks, so Mo Qingcang shook his head and put the matter behind him.

Mu Jinxi and the others didn't know that Mo Xuerui had seen Xiaobao, so they were waiting to figure out the whole thing and use it to threaten Mu Jinxi.

Mu Jinxi also told Xiao's family about her plan to open a restaurant. Xiao's family knew that persuasion was useless and did not stop her. They just asked her to pay more attention. If there is any trouble, she should go to Ah Xiao instead of being alone. Carrying it, I want to handle everything by myself.

But after knowing which restaurant she was looking for, Mr. Xiao felt that it would be better to choose another one, but Mu Jinxi said that this one is the best, because its business is not good enough, so it is easier to set up.As for the shopkeeper, a relative in my own family, if he behaves well, he can still stay in the restaurant as the shopkeeper, but if he is restless, then we can't blame her.

Xiao Xiao quickly transferred the title deed of the restaurant to Mu Jinxi, and then Mu Jinxi quickly ordered the matter down, closed the restaurant for reorganization, and hung a closing sign at the gate, mysteriously Said that it will bring surprises to everyone soon, let everyone look forward to it.

The employees in the restaurant were temporarily transferred to other restaurants and teahouses to help, and they will come back when they reopen.But the shopkeeper is different, he went home directly!And it seems that he is very dissatisfied that the restaurant has suddenly changed its owner, and the owner is not himself!He always thought that this restaurant would be his sooner or later, but who knew that a cousin girl would appear suddenly, what kind of business do women learn to do, it is immoral!
After returning, he added fuel and vinegar to the whole matter, and told his father.His father is the concubine younger brother of Mrs. Xiao, and he has always complained about him as his eldest brother.

When he saw that he was going to be the prime minister, he separated the family in a hurry. There were three descendants, two boys and one girl. The daughter Jiji married far away after that, and the younger brother left the capital long ago. Let him alone support the entire Xiao family in the capital.There are a few concubines, but they are all close to the concubines, and the relationship between their father and aunt is a bit complicated, which has led to the fact that the concubines have no good feelings for them.

After his father passed away and kept his filial piety, the eldest brother immediately proposed to separate the family, and he became the prime minister of Dachu not long after!At that time, I was really angry with the few of their concubines.

If there is no separation, then they are still the prime minister's family, and they can still enjoy the glory, but once the family is separated, they will be two families, even if they are both surnamed Xiao!

Wasn't he anxious to separate the family back then because he was afraid that they would cause him trouble?Hmph, a selfish person, when he becomes powerful, he doesn't even know how to help the family members. If they get better, is he not good?Who knows what is going on in the court? Doesn't he understand the principle that multiple people can handle things easily?

At that time, he secretly thought that this brother is so selfish, if one day he falls, will there be no one to speak for him?

Who knew that he sat in the prime minister's position safely and securely for decades, and then he came down, but he didn't do it himself, and gave up the position to his son!I don't know what the Holy Majesty thinks, how can they let their father and son take turns to be the prime minister?Isn't the Holy Majesty worried that they will have thoughts that they shouldn't have?If the emperor becomes suspicious, wouldn't even their offshoots be implicated?

It's really unfair that we can't enjoy blessings together, but we have to suffer together when we have troubles.

So they tried to take advantage of it as much as possible while the eldest brother's family was still in power. They couldn't get official positions, and they could just get money!Isn't it good after so many years?Why is it suddenly not working now?

And that Miss Cousin, I don’t know if it’s real or not.The daughter of the Xiao family had been missing for so many years, how could she be found again? I don't even need to think about it, but I don't know if it was so easy to bring that family back to the Xiao family.

Besides, what kind of business do women learn from men? Didn't they already marry young prince Juelin?Then just wait for the big wedding, and how decent it is to come out and show your face!He also said that he is the prime minister, is this how the prime minister educates his granddaughter?She is not afraid that in the future the old concubine of the palace and the young prince Jue Lin will dislike her and will divorce her. If this is the case, it will depend on where the face of their family will be put!
I was already filled with resentment and displeasure, but now that my son said that the restaurant was going to close, the old man was immediately annoyed, but he couldn't immediately go to the door to question him, whoever called the restaurant belonged to someone else, they, They are just part-time workers, what qualifications do they have to question others?Don't let people laugh to death.

The two father and son discussed for a long time before deciding to wait and see what happened. If Mu Jinxi really drove him away, he would question him again. He asked himself that the Xiao family didn't know what he had done. If they knew, they would have I will take some action, so I won't wait until now.Since they don't have his handle, they can't let themselves leave the restaurant for no reason!

Although the business of the restaurant can't be said to be very prosperous, there is still a lot of lucrative water. In addition, Xiao Xiao has always been ignorant, so in fact he is the only one who speaks.If he was driven away, where would he find such a good job?He has been working as the shopkeeper in the restaurant for so many years, and he is used to it. He can't do other things!And he has been managing the restaurant for so many years, so he has hard work without credit, right?

Why should a cousin come to meddle in the affairs of the restaurant now and drive him away?He does not agree, absolutely does not agree!

Mu Jinxi doesn't know what other people think, anyway, she doesn't care about it, she just needs to do her job well.

It's not that simple to open a restaurant. She doesn't have cooking skills, so she can't be a chef, and she can't be like Peach Blossom Restaurant. The business of this restaurant is so light, and the chef's skills may not be much better. Then she will have to find a cook again.It is really a troublesome thing to find again, and there are shopkeepers, waiters and so on. If the people in the restaurant cannot be used, they must all be recruited again.

If you recruit new people, you may have to train again, which is really a troublesome thing.In the final analysis, there are too few people available under his command, and he can't let people from Xiao Xiao's other restaurants come over to help.

After thinking about it, Mu Jinxi asked Xiao Xiao, wondering if there are any available talents in his subordinates, so let's borrow and use them first.

Xiao Xiao regretfully told her that there are talents, but they all have their own jobs, if one of them is transferred, it will affect other places.However, if she needs it, he can find a way.

Mu Jinxi was overjoyed when she heard it, and unceremoniously raised her request, making it too late for Xiao Xiao to regret it, he knew it was not okay to talk to her politely, because she would never be polite to him !

Mu Jinxi, the person in the restaurant, took the time to go over to find out. As she expected, there were a dozen or so people in the restaurant, including the shopkeeper, but few of them could be used. No one knew that there were so many people. What are the people doing to eat? It's a waste of human and financial resources.Needless to say, the chef of the restaurant, if she worked a little harder, the business of the restaurant would not be so slow. She went to the restaurant and asked the chef to cook a few dishes, and after only one bite, she didn't want to try another.

The person in charge of purchasing all kinds of fruits and vegetables in the restaurant is the same as the shopkeeper. The two of them don't know how much oil and water they got from it. It is said that he is responsible on the surface, but in fact it has nothing to do with him at all, but if something happens, he will bear the responsibility.The errand runner looked honest, he didn't talk much, he just kept his head down and worked hard.

The cook's wife and daughter-in-law are responsible for washing vegetables and dishes in the back kitchen. The wife is a woman with a big waist and a round waist. She speaks carelessly and has a rough voice, and her voice can be heard from far away. The daughter-in-law has a round face and a rosy complexion. Young lady, when washing the vegetables, she was slow, and she had to rest for half an hour after washing the dishes for a quarter of an hour.One of the errand runners in the back kitchen is the cook's own son. It seems that the whole family has joined the back kitchen.

In addition to this family, there is also a handyman in the back kitchen and two helpers. These three are okay. After reading it, she thinks that if she wants to keep anyone, then these three and the second child can stay and continue to work. of.Of course, if they don't want to, then she won't force her, she will give them a sum of money and send them away.But if they have ever done something they shouldn't have done, there is no money to be paid, just leave.

The family in the back kitchen was very nervous at first, but for some reason, they became a little bit confident later, probably because they felt familiar with the shopkeeper, and they are the cooks of restaurants. After working for so many years, they have a lot of experience and are smart. No matter what you order, you won't let yourself go.

But what they met was Mu Jinxi, who was not willing to stick to anything. After testing them, Mu Jinxi already had an idea in her heart. She had already made a decision on who could stay and who should go.

Xiao Xiao also quickly introduced to Mu Jinxi a person who is very interested in cooking, but this person is not a cook, it was Xiao Xiao who accidentally ate the food she made, and thought it was delicious, and occasionally remembered When I was young, I would go to other people's homes to give money, and let her cook a table of delicious food. After a long time, the two became familiar with each other.

Yes, this person is a woman, not a man.She is a widow who lives with her son and has a rather pungent personality.

When Xiao Xiao introduced this person to Mu Jinxi, she even aroused her suspicious eyes, which made Xiao Xiao furious.Xiaoxi's eyes looked as if he had some ambiguous relationship with this widow, it was so insulting!On the one hand, he is not a womanizer, and on the other hand, he is not vulgar and shameless. How can she look at him like this?Fortunately, he is still busy with her affairs, he really doesn't know what to do!

Xiao Yu also introduced a person to Mu Jinxi, this person was his schoolmate in the past, but the other person's family background was very ordinary, and he didn't continue to develop his official career after he passed the examination as a scholar, because the conditions were really not allowed at that time , he could only give up the imperial examination and look around for jobs that could support himself and his younger siblings, but what can he do as a scholar?That is, painting some calligraphy and painting for sale, writing letters for others, etc., but the earning is very meager.

Now that he knows that Xiaoxi is going to open a restaurant, he thinks that his former companion can be Xiaoxi's accountant or something. He knows his character very well, he is a very proud and principled person, and he can do it for Xiaoxi. The accountant's words can be trusted.

Mu Jinxi didn't just accept these two people without saying anything because they were introduced by her two cousins. She still tried them out and was very satisfied with the result in the end.Although the one introduced by the big cousin was a bit pretentious at the beginning, he felt that he was a scholar, how could he be an accountant for others, not to mention that he is still a scholar now.

For this kind of person, Mu Jinxi is very handy to deal with, after all, there used to be one in the family.She quickly persuaded this man and made him agree to come and be the accountant for herself.

The cashier and the cook are all there, and the shopkeeper... In the face of being a relative, Mu Jinxi didn't kick this person out at the beginning, but gave him a chance.But others are not so lucky.

As the restaurant was about to reopen, Mu Jinxi called everyone to the restaurant for a regular meeting or something.

The restaurant has never had any strange workers come in for so many years, and now there are several more at once, which makes the people who worked in the restaurant tense all of a sudden, vaguely guessing something, but the owner hasn't spoken yet, they They didn't dare to say anything more, after all, the real boss was sitting in the lobby at the moment, and those peach blossom eyes swept over them as if nothing, making them sweat coldly on their backs.

Mu Jinxi looked at the person standing in front of her, didn't say much nonsense, and said straight to the point: "I believe you all know that I will be the owner of this restaurant in the future. The real owner, Master Xiao, has already transferred the owner of the restaurant Give it to me, so I will be your boss in the future, and you have to listen to me. The restaurant has been closed for a while, and it will reopen soon. After opening this time, there will be many differences from before. I hope Those who stay can understand this, and will do things according to my orders in the future, and all the previous rules will not count."

"In the past, Lord Xiao didn't care much about the affairs here, so some of you took the opportunity to make trouble, and you don't rush to cry out for being wronged. I know who is wronged and who is not wronged. Now I will give you A chance, I think I have never done anything wrong to Mr. Xiao or to the restaurant before, so I will stay. What was the treatment before, and what will be the same in the future. If you understand what you have done, just pack up and leave obediently. It's not difficult, I don't care about it with you. But if you think I'm a young woman and you look down on me and want to play me, then don't blame me for not giving Master Xiao face. "

"I dare to say this today because I have caught you in my hands. I let you go by yourself because you have done such a New Year's work in the restaurant. You have to work hard without credit. And Master Xiao For the sake of it, I didn't directly report to the official, if you don't know how to read... I don't have to worry about it. You all heard what I said above, do you understand?"

Mu Jinxi said with a smile, but her tone was cold and ruthless, making it clear that she was not joking, she was telling the truth.If they didn't do what she said, then she really wouldn't be merciful.

After Mu Jinxi's words, many people present changed their faces, but they also felt angry in their hearts, thinking that what was the difference between her doing this and clearly saying who did something bad?If someone left, wouldn't it be self-reporting, saying that he was the one who did something wrong with Mr. Xiao and the restaurant?Who would dare to ask them to work if it spread like this?

Mu Jinxi saw through some people's thoughts at a glance, and continued to smile and said: "You can think of it this way, maybe the people who left just don't want to stay in the restaurant anymore, and want to work in another place. And what is the truth? After all, no one I said that you can deny it in private, right? But if I say it out loud, it will be different, and it will be a direct conviction of the crime. You should know the difference, right?"
