Chapter 592 Beating the gossip in the market (5)
"Is that true? Didn't Your Majesty send imperial envoys to Beibei to provide disaster relief that day? How could this be? Although Beibei is not far from the capital, it takes half a day to travel by car. Brother Qin has never left Beijing, how do you know so clearly?"

"To tell you the truth, there is a distant relative in the old man's family in the north of Hebei, and he escaped with his life. But all the family property was buried in the ground. As a last resort, he dragged his family to Beijing to join the old man. The old man asked him about the situation in Hebei, My old man shook his head and said three miserable words in a row. I was very surprised, and after careful questioning, I realized that it turned out to be such a scene over there."

Everyone didn't believe it, but Yu Wenji was a very authoritative emperor.The civil and military officials of the Jin Kingdom have always been convinced and fearful of him.Although the bad habits in the officialdom are bound to be committed, everyone will tacitly control the scale.He wouldn't be so confused that he would anger the emperor and end up with a ransacking of his home and execution.

Natural disasters are a very sensitive issue.In the hearts of the people, the emperor is called the son of heaven, the favorite of heaven.They believe that the emperor's virtue is outstanding, or the court is upright, and God will not send disasters.On the contrary, the people will more or less question the court and the emperor in their hearts, endangering the foundation of the rule.Therefore, over the years, no matter where there are natural disasters such as floods and droughts, the emperor will treat them seriously, and will not count the allocation of funds for disaster relief, and will also send imperial envoys to monitor them.

The same is true for this earthquake. The local officials in northern Hebei may be confused, but the imperial envoy should have arrived in northern Hebei that afternoon, so how could they be allowed to mess around?

But the old friend spoke with certainty, and everyone was uncertain, so they all fell silent.

"Forget it, let's just concentrate on drinking tea. The important affairs of the court are beyond the control of ordinary people like you and me. If the situation is really as Brother Qin said, His Majesty is wise and mighty, and sooner or later he will punish those people."

"Yes, yes, hehe, everyone drinks tea."

The two of them sang together, which revived the dull atmosphere.One person changed the subject and said, "Have you heard? This time, Zhao Ji also set up disaster shelters. Not only did they give out three meals of porridge a day, but they also arranged for the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no labor and most businesses don't want to accept them." Easy work, daily settlement of money... nothing else, just for this thoughtful thought, even if you pay the same amount of money, in the hearts of most victims, Zhao Ji is probably better than other houses. .”

"Zhao Ji's reputation has always been very good. You all know the Fusheng Building at the fork in front of you, right? It's very grand, and the customers come like a cloud all day long. The people who come and go in and out on weekdays are all nobles from the capital. You also know that the old man has other pursuits. No, it’s better to have delicious food. The secret roast duck of Fusheng Building is talked about by people. Every time I pass by the door, I can smell the smell wafting out, which makes me greedy. I went there on the opening day. A few days ago, when I had enough money, I didn't bother to change clothes, so I hurried out. When I walked into the store, I saw that every customer was dressed in brocade clothes and exquisite clothes. I was dressed in gray I stood there in a flutter, not to mention how embarrassing it was. Who knew that the waiter didn't think I was shabby at all, and led me to the empty seat with a smile. From the beginning to the end, I was meticulous and thoughtful, not to mention, when I left after eating, He also gave me a box of dim sum specially provided by Zhao Ji Dim Sum Shop. That taste is really..." The old man smacked his lips, with a look of aftertaste.

"Okay, old Wei, you can talk about eating whatever you say!" The person next to him waved his hands dumbfounded, and the others also laughed.

"You don't understand. Doing business is to make money with peace. Word of mouth and reputation are the most important. Zhao Jili's waiters are all kind and well-trained, which is not easy in itself. Now that the people in the city are suffering, Zhao Ji is enthusiastic. Helping with relief, but not having the lofty attitude of other families... Such a transparent and harmonious mind is rare in the world."

"I heard from Zhao Ji's second owner and the big shopkeeper that what they did was ordered by that Master Zhao."

Several people looked at each other with admiration on their faces, but they didn't know that the protagonist they were talking about was sitting at the next table!
It wasn't the first time she heard people in the market talking about her in a teahouse, but it was the first time for a big girl to get on the sedan chair with such praise.Touching her nose, Zhao Yun calmed down and found that most of the people in the teahouse were talking about the earthquake the day before yesterday.Occasionally there were speculations about some Princess Qingling being expelled from the capital in disguise, but there was nothing she wanted to hear.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard another low cry of astonishment from the side, "...Master Zhao is not only the owner of Fusheng Building, but also a distinguished spiritual master. Those people dared to follow Zhao Remember to do it?"

Zhao Yun's eyes moved, and her buttocks sat up again. She poured the cold tea into the tea tray, lifted the teapot, changed to a hot cup, and slowly drank it.Someone next to him went on to say: "The backside of Deshengju seems to be the emperor's relatives, his waist is very strong, and he is not afraid of Mr. Zhao at all. I heard that the master chef they cook was dug from Fushenglou. When he left, he seemed to have taken the recipe of the secret sauce with him. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s been rumored vividly.”

Zhao Yun frowned, why didn't she know when it happened?He heard a familiar voice snort again, "People with poor moral character can't make amazing delicacies."

She glanced at the old man who was talking. He had gray hair and was wearing an old gray shirt. He was not very well-dressed.But when he drank tea, he savored it carefully and looked intoxicated, with the rigor of a gourmet.Zhao Yun shook her head, with a smile in her eyes, this old man is quite cute.

Several of his friends also laughed, unable to do anything about his weird remarks from time to time.One person jokingly said: "Nade Shengju is open today, and I will pay half price like Zhao Ji. How about the rest of us reluctantly accompany you, Old Wei, to test the master's craftsmanship?"

"It just so happens that it's almost lunch time, and I eat it everywhere, why not go to Deshengju to watch the excitement."

"Humph, just go. I'd like to see if the roast duck at Deshengju is a fake of Fushenglou, lest I, the old man, wrong the good man..." Saying this, the group got up and went to the counter to pay for the tea. Deshengju has gone.

Raising her eyebrows, Zhao Yun also followed out of the teahouse, hanging far behind a group of people, walking slowly.Judging by the attire of these old men, they should all come from ordinary wealthy families.He spends all day in the market when he has nothing to do, and is very well-informed.Although what they said may be exaggerated and untrue, it will not be completely groundless.

She has been staying in the mansion for the past two days, and she has cut off contact with the outside world. There might really be something wrong in Fusheng Building.

After analyzing it in her heart, Zhao Yun saw that the people in front stopped and Deshengju had arrived.Standing at the door, she looked intently at the plaque and the furnishings inside, and found that it was similar in style to her own Fusheng Building.Looking back again, well, the location was well chosen, just diagonally opposite Fusheng Building!
