g rode a horse and arrived at the city gate quickly. He put away his horse and went to buy roast chicken.The roast chicken stall encountered a big customer, and all fifty freshly baked chickens were i...That official slanted his eyes, looking arrogant, and said: “Our master is going to the Taoist temple to incense, you better hurry up and prepare.”
“The snacks selected for offering were packed into four boxes. Roadside snacks to stave off hunger, as well as any new products, were all included. Treat them well, and your silver won't be forgotten!”
"Alright, just a moment, I'll get you some snacks." Peng Chuan didn't mind this person's arrogant demeanor. He quickly called over a young boy to prepare the snacks and refreshments.
The young man was quick and nimble, using chopsticks to carefully pick up the snacks and pack them into a box.
The shopkeeper moved around the shop at random, just as a plate of profiteroles was brought in from behind. The crispy and sweet shell enclosed white cream, which was very tempting.
That official couldn't resist reaching out and grabbing one, stuffing it into his mouth, and then exclaimed, "Hmm, not bad! It's really sweet!"
While talking, he took two more and ate them in large bites, still wanting to take more.
Peng Chuan frowned, very displeased.
He stepped forward and moved the tray of profiteroles, smiling. "Sir, you have good taste! These profiteroles are our newest and most popular item."
"Sir, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea I'll get some plates ready for you to enjoy slowly."
"No need!" the manager mumbled, a mouthful of cream puff still unswallowed, "I'm in a hurry, I'll just grab a few."
Having said that, he reached out his hand as well.
Peng Chuan refused to give up the space, his tone also turning cold. "Sir, our shop's goods may not be as flavorful, but they must be clean."
"Taking food from the plate like that makes it unsellable to other customers."
The manager was taken aback for a moment, then seeing the other customers in the shop staring at him, he got angry.
"You dog-licking wretch! I only ate a few of your snacks, and this is how you act Is this how you run your business"
"Do you know who I am I came here to buy your treats because I respect you!"
The big boss behind the clouds is the Emperor. Before, when the third princess and Bao Lei opened a branch together, they always came to pick up goods in an orderly manner.
Now suddenly, some unruly thing has popped up. Peng Chuan would be afraid if he wasn't a bold person.
Even if it were a noble, so what
Who else could be more valuable than one's own family head, especially with the second master present!
Peng Chuan immediately retorted, "No matter what household you belong to, I believe your master wouldn't want to hear that his servant acted so shamefully and rudely in someone else's shop!"
Unfortunately, the official couldn't hear his warning and shouted loudly, "I am from the Jiangning Marquis Mansion. Our mistress is the Empress Dowager, just in the carriage outside the gate."
"You dare to look down on our Jiangning Houfu..."
Before he could finish, Jia Yin, who was sitting in the corner, became impatient and loudly ordered Shui Ling, "Go and ask Madame Wu, tell her that the servants of the Hou Mansion need to be taught some manners."
"A servant can be foolish, but she shouldn't leave the house without her wits. Doesn't she know who the big boss is up in those clouds Does she need this county princess to tell her"
County Lord
The steward and the other guests were taken aback. Seeing Jia Yin wearing a veiled hat but dressed in fine attire, they immediately guessed her identity.
Greetings, Princess Kangle!
Rumors say that Connaught Princess fell seriously ill. Now that she has recovered, is she able to go out and about
Guests glanced at each other, their expressions filled with curiosity.
But the steward of Hou Mansion was in a rather awkward position. He was three parts afraid and seven parts panicked, yet his mouth wouldn't concede defeat.
"I didn't say anything..."
Water Spirit, however, didn't care what he said. Even because he blocked her way, she kicked him with one foot and then grabbed his collar and dragged him out.
Peng Chuan then brought the young fellows along, carrying a box of pastries and following after.
Madam Wu waited in the carriage, growing impatient. She instructed her close attendant, "Nanny Sun, go and see what's taking so long to buy some snacks. Are they baking them fresh now"
Grandma Sun was also thinking about it, because her nephew, who was in charge of buying snacks, had just come over from their hometown.
She relied on her nephews to support her in her old age, so she asked the mistress to let him into the household to serve. Today was his first time following his master out of the house.
"Don't worry, Madam," Grandma Sun quickly said with a smile. "I'll go urge them right away. The sweetshop here is famous; perhaps they're just delayed because of the crowd."
Having said that, she quickly jumped out of the car. As soon as she stepped onto the steps, before she could even enter the shop, she saw her nephew being dragged out.
She immediately changed color and was about to ask several questions loudly, but Shuiling spoke first.
"Are you the nanny from Jiangning Houfu Go back and tell your master, don't send such fools on errands anymore, they bring shame to the Houfu. "
"So many guests were in the house just now, they all saw how unmannerly he was! I won't go into specifics about what he did. You should quickly pay for the refreshments and then take this fool back home to teach him a lesson."
"He doesn't even know who our big boss is, and he dares to run wild here! He must have gone blind!"
Having said that, she exerted herself and the officer stumbled, falling in front of Granny Sun.
Peng Chuan gestured for the young lads to hand the box of snacks to Grandma Sun, then smiled and held out his hand towards her, "Thank you for your patronage. Three taels of silver."
Grandma Sun's face was dark, she wanted to scold a few words but dared not. She could only open her purse and pay the money.
Peng Chuan casually clasped his hands together and then led his people away.
Grandma Sun quickly pulled her nephew up and whispered, "What on earth did you do"
The steward was also very wronged, complaining: “I just ate a few snacks and argued a few words with the shopkeeper, and then a maid who claimed to be a county princess drove me out.”
Grandma Sun gritted her teeth angrily and rebuked, "The owner behind this shop is the Emperor. Who gave you the guts to run wild inside!"
"Huh" The manager was astonished, utterly disbelieving. "Impossible! How could the Emperor possibly leave the palace to open a shop!"
Grandmother Sun pinched fiercely twice and scowled, “So it was Princess Kangle who was in charge all along. It’s the one you just offended.”
"Just follow me quietly, don't cause any more trouble. This time, I'll cover for you with the master!"
She didn't dare to delay, bearing her anger, and quickly picked up the box of snacks and got into the carriage.
Wu Dafu's wife vaguely heard a few words and asked, "What happened"
"Grandmother Sun quickly smiled and said, “Madam, it’s nothing important. The shopkeeper of Baiyun Pavilion heard that you came to buy snacks and personally sent them out."
"My nephew, he's not very discerning. He told me the snacks at the shop are too expensive."
As expected, Mrs. Wu didn't ask any further questions. She simply said, “It's expensive, but the pastries at this shop are indeed quite good. Keep them well, and when you reach the mountains, offer them to the deities.”
"Yes, madam," Sun Mamu hastily replied, her eyes half-lowered with a mysterious gleam passing through them.
The carriage started moving again. She took the opportunity of the window being closed to glance at the door panel in the white clouds, a mysterious smile...
Jia Yin revealed her identity and, unwilling to sit in the front hall, feigned weakness, leaning on Shui Ling's arm as she walked back.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she sneezed two big sneezes and muttered, "Who is cursing me"he spot, causing the eunuch and guards to look over.Soon, they knew the reason, and looked at Wen Yushi's eyes filled with sympathy.Especially the eunuch, he was more clear than others.The Emperor sum...
