Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 294: The New Courtesan in Huamanlou

The next day, Tong Yiyi went out to find out and found out that Anle was now studying at Yuji Academy.

Yu Ji Academy is almost entirely populated by outsiders, and everyone knows nothing about each other, so they just believe whatever they are told.

Anle's handwriting is beautiful, and his articles are among the best in Yu Ji Academy, so he has won a lot of favor from the teacher.

When people heard that he was from Enko, he was praised to the sky.

"My dear, I heard that Anle spent a lot of money to treat everyone to food and drinks. Many people thought he was the son of a wealthy family, but they liked listening to him talk. Recently, there is a tendency for him to become the boss."

Tong Yiyi was shocked when he found out about it in the morning. How could a scholar be so vain?

An Qiao frowned. If they didn't come to Kyoto Restaurant in the future, then An Qiao had no interest in caring about other people's food and drinks.

As long as he has money and is willing to spend it, he can do whatever he wants.

But if he comes again, he can avoid the first, but he can't avoid the fifteenth.

It will take another two months before Anle can leave Kyoto Prefecture. If he feels that eating in Kyoto is cost-effective, he will inevitably come here every day.

Alas, there is nothing I can do.

The thought of escape is only temporary, and one has to face it. If a fight really breaks out, An Qiao has nothing to be afraid of.

Although there were many people watching the fun in Kyoto Prefecture, many shopkeepers also regarded her as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

But An Qiao had experienced this kind of public opinion war before, so she shouldn't be so timid anymore.

"Besides that, is there anything else?"

An Qiao asked again, mainly because she was afraid that her stepmother would do too many outrageous things. What if there was something she didn't make clear? Wouldn't that be harming others?

"Besides that, Anle behaves like a scholar and would never go to a brothel. However, he can comment on the young ladies in Kyoto Prefecture. He has only been in Kyoto Prefecture for less than seven days, but he has written many poems about the young ladies in Kyoto Prefecture. His classmates even praised him, saying that he has great taste and that the relationship between a talented scholar and a beautiful woman is indeed a romantic affair."

Dahan smacked his lips, looking as if he couldn't understand.

An Qiao closed his eyes. It was really true that human greed was unsatisfactory. Although his family didn't have much money, he pretended to be a rich young master.

He is so good at pretending, just like his mother. An Qiao doesn't even know if this brother should be raised by his stepmother.

Maybe it’s the same if you carry it with you.

Forget it, respect other people's fate and let go of the desire to help others.

"Forget it. I'm not afraid of him." An Qiao looked at her restaurant. Although it didn't seem like she had put in much effort, she had walked to where she is today step by step. These unreliable relatives should stay away from her.

"By the way... Anle has been praised too much by his classmates recently. It seems that he is ready to find some marquis or earl's family to be his disciple. It's really..."

Tong Yiyi has experienced a lot in the past year and grown a lot. Now she realizes how arrogant the words here are.

But after all, he is the young lady's brother. No matter whether the young lady feels the kiss is close or not, I shouldn't say anything irrelevant.

Sighing, An Qiao nodded, "I understand. You should be more cautious. If he finds out that this restaurant is mine and comes to make trouble, you should be more careful."

Tong Yi nodded slightly. Indeed, it would be very troublesome to be entangled by such a person.

……

An Qiao had a headache, and Gu Qingyun's condition was not much better.

The clues about Madam Rong cannot be found just by looking for them. Even though Gu Qingyun always believes that he can find them through clues, it is not that easy.

"Sir Shaoqing, the original brothel of Madam Rong was full of flowers. Now there is a new courtesan. When we went to ask her, the courtesan was very weird, crying and laughing at the same time. She said that it was not easy to be a courtesan, and she didn't want to get famous and end up like Madam Rong. But when we asked again, she refused to talk."

As soon as Zhao Huaiqing returned to the Dali Temple, he hurriedly picked up the cold boiled water and poured it into his mouth, as if he had been thirsty for half his life.

"You keep nagging. Let's talk after you have enough rest."

Wu Huan frowned, not sure if it was out of disgust or something else.

Zhao Huaiqing sat aside obediently and waited until he had caught his breath before speaking.

"Xin Hai and I went to Hua Man Yuan in the morning. I have to say that these brothels really make money, but they changed their appearance in half a year. We almost didn't find them."

"Let's get to the point..." Gu Qingyun was afraid that he would go off on tangent and change the subject again.

"Okay, we took the people away and asked them according to their categories. Except for the new courtesan, the others were still dumb and said they didn't know or were not sure. Many of them were new and didn't know anything about Madam Rong."

Xin Hai sighed and took over the conversation, "The new oiran lady always seems to be a little weird. She cries sometimes, laughs sometimes, and acts crazy no matter what you ask her. I don't know if she is just pretending to be crazy or something else?"

"What did she say?" Gu Qingyun couldn't stand these two people anymore. They talked too much nonsense.

But Zhao Huaiqing and Xin Hai looked at each other, as if they found it difficult to speak.

Finally, under the pressure of Gu Qingyun's eyes, he spoke.

"The new courtesan said that Madam Rong deserved to disappear... We are all ordinary people, so why bother about being elegant and beautiful? A smart person should give the patrons what they want. Madam Rong thought she was untainted by the mud, but it's a pity that in the eyes of most patrons, it's just that she didn't pay enough. Since she was untainted by the mud, she was taken out of Hua Man Lou, and you can't refuse others to do anything they want you to do."

Zhao Huaiqing spoke intermittently, and from time to time he imitated the young lady, crying and laughing.

"The new courtesan said that as long as the patron gave her money, she would do anything, because she would never follow in Madam Rong's footsteps."

"Is this a hint to us that Madam Rong's disappearance was caused by someone picking this high mountain flower?"

Gu Qingyun smiled helplessly. He felt that what the man said made sense, but it was indeed hurtful to say it so clearly.

"But this is not any evidence. It's just the sigh of an courtesan." Wu Huan frowned, as if he couldn't stand Zhao Huaiqing's appearance.

Zhao Huaiqing nodded, so we asked about other things.

"That young lady said that when Madam Rong disappeared, she had no choice but to be promoted to the position. She knew how to make more money, but she didn't dare to do so. She was afraid of following in Madam Rong's footsteps. She couldn't even mention her disappearance."
