Chapter 216: The inferior are not worthy to talk to me
Not long after this farce ended, just when their granary was about to be empty, good news finally came: the eldest brother arrived with food.
Chu Ci directly asked the eldest brother to hand over the food to Lin Feng, and handed over the tasks at hand to Yunsheng. As for herself, she took the eldest brother and the others back to her own yard.
Only after returning to his own little home did Chu Ci feel relaxed. Looking at the tired looks of his senior and junior brothers, he realized that his yard was no longer large enough for them to live in, so he had to go out.
"I'm sorry to bother you brothers and sisters with this matter. Today, I'll treat you. Let's go to Tianxiang Tower. I've already asked someone to send all the ingredients over. You can go there and have a meal first, and then have a good rest."
The brothers nodded. They hadn't had a good meal for several days, and the thought of hot meals aroused their appetite.
Chu Ci accompanied them to Tianxiang Tower, and Chunhua went to arrange everything. They all had a peaceful home-cooked meal. The dishes were not too fancy, after all, it was an extraordinary period.
Several junior disciples walked up to Chu Ci, holding their wine glasses, and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for your hospitality."
Chu Ci stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, and looked at them with a smile while holding the glass. "Today's matter is something that Senior Sister has added to the task for you. Thank you all for your help."
Chu Ci was about to drink the wine in the glass when someone snatched it away. "Your senior sister hasn't been feeling well lately and can't drink. I drank it for her."
The eldest brother raised his head and drank the wine in his hand. Chu Ci's eyes twitched when she saw it. She originally wanted to show her respect, and they didn't dare to force her to drink anyway.
I didn’t expect that the eldest brother was so honest and drank it all directly.
When the brothers saw this scene, they all sighed in their hearts. They looked at the eldest brother and eldest sister jokingly, or in the future -
After drinking almost all the wine, Chu Ci and the others started to eat.
After eating the hot food, Chu Ci felt much warmer all over.
Outside the private room, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and said, "Master, may I come in?"
Chu Ci glanced at the door, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and straightened his sitting posture. The younger apprentice brothers on the side sighed, "I didn't expect that the senior sister is so good at pretending."
Under the table, Chu Ci kicked him and said, "You don't know how to talk. Stop talking. You deserve to be a single dog."
The younger brothers were depressed because they were all single.
Chu Ci cleared his throat and said, "Come in."
The shopkeeper came in and bowed directly, "I pay my respects to the master. I wonder how the master likes these dishes?"
Chu Ci nodded, "It's good. It's hard to eat this kind of food at this time."
The shopkeeper was relieved at this point. There really weren't any good dishes left, but since the master had finally asked for it, they couldn't be too simple.
Chu Ci lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Young Master Brothers, can you use the sled on the river? It's faster for transporting things."
The shopkeeper quickly understood what his master meant, "Yes, master, don't worry, I will definitely keep them as treasures and maximize their value."
Seeing that Chu Ci was in a good mood, the shopkeeper wanted to say something flattering to show his presence in front of his master, but the waiter outside came up and said, "Shopkeeper, please come down quickly. There's something wrong on the first floor."
Chu Ci looked at the first floor. What could possibly happen in such a heavy snow? It couldn't be that the gatehouse collapsed under the weight of the snow. The quality of her house shouldn't be like this.
So someone is freezing to death and is begging for food? Or hot water?
Chu Ci waved his hand at the shopkeeper, "Go down and take a look, before anything really happens."
The shopkeeper could only leave with a bitter face. Such a good opportunity was lost by someone, and the shopkeeper was so angry that he could be said to be holding back his anger.
The shopkeeper came down angrily, his footsteps on the wooden ladder getting louder. When he reached the first floor, he saw a gorgeously dressed young lady, accompanied by a maid, standing coldly at the door.
The shopkeeper stepped forward patiently and asked in a gentle voice, "Miss, what brings you to my shop? Due to the weather, our shop is closed now."
The young lady had a cold face and said nothing, but just walked in.
The waiter was panicked. They were all grown men, and judging from the lady's attire, she didn't look like an ordinary lady. It would be bad if there was a collision.
The waiter looked at the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper didn't care about that. If it came down to backing, he was no worse than anyone else.
Thinking that the master was still having dinner upstairs, he took a big step forward and blocked the young lady's way. "Young lady, if I didn't make myself clear just now, I can say it again."
"My restaurant is not open yet, please respect yourself, young lady." The shopkeeper has never been so confident when speaking. The master is above him and he has a backer above him, but he still stands up straight. Usually, the master pretends not to know him.
When the young lady saw that the shopkeeper stopped her and still said that she had no self-respect, she was reminded of what that bitch Chu Ci said, which was all a mockery of her lack of self-respect.
The young lady raised her hand and slapped the shopkeeper hard in the face. "Closed? Are you sure it's closed? Then why did I see someone going up there?"
The shopkeeper looked at the young lady in front of him and wondered whether he should report it to his master. However, thinking about how busy his master had been recently, how tired he looked when he came, and how even his marriage had not been going smoothly recently, the shopkeeper decided to endure it.
Even if it's for the master, this little humiliation is nothing compared to the humiliation the master has suffered.
When the waiter saw his boss being beaten, he rushed to his defense and shouted, "Hey, how can you hit someone like that? You're a lady from a wealthy family, but I think you're no better than a street shrew!"
The lady raised her hand and wanted to slap the waiter.
The shopkeeper noticed and gently pulled the waiter from behind, "Miss, this is not a place where everyone can come and make trouble. What do you want to do?"
The shopkeeper's words made the young lady tremble with anger. "How dare you, lowly people, speak to me like that? Do you know who I am? I am the Princess Rui. You lowly people should be beaten to death or frozen to death."
"Today, you are still standing here because we, the royal family, showed mercy. How dare you speak to me like this? When I return, I will not let you go. I will have King Rui send people to destroy your restaurant."
The waiter silently tugged at the corner of the shopkeeper's clothes and asked in a voice that they could all hear, "Shopkeeper, wasn't it said that Princess Rui was the eldest daughter of the former Marquis Chu? Later, she was personally appointed the Princess of Chaoyang County by the Emperor. How did she become the shrew she is now?"
"Isn't she a fool?"
The shopkeeper looked at the waiter speechlessly. That's the good thing about young people. They are not afraid of death and have to use their own necks to test the sharpness of other people's knives.
Then he could only accompany her, "I also remember that the emperor's edict mentioned the Princess of Chaoyang County."
The noise downstairs was too loud, so Chu Ci came down from upstairs and asked, "Boss, what happened?"
