Chapter 200: The World of Jianghu (5)
In the early morning of West Lake in Hangzhou, the lake is shrouded in mist, and the lotus leaves are like a canopy, with dewdrops gently rolling on them, as translucent as mercury. The scene at this time is like a fairyland. In the morning light, the weeping willows sway in the wind, the lotus flowers bloom, and the air is filled with a fresh breath.
The breakfast was a special snack that Li Yuze asked the housekeeper to buy from outside. Soy milk, salty and sweet tofu brain, fish ball porridge, Wushan butter cake, Hangzhou cat ears, scallion stew, steamed dumplings... It was very rich. These West Lake snacks tasted very delicious and seemed to be listed as the specialties of Qingzhen Snack Street.
After breakfast, we headed to Qingzhen. Qingzhen is under construction, the river channel is being dredged and widened, and bridges of various shapes are being built to create a scene of small bridges and flowing water. Houses are being built on both sides of the river, and the scene is very lively.
However, there were soldiers managing the scene and there was no chaos at all.
"Sister, are these houses built to be sold?" An An thought that these houses were built to be sold just like the new area for disaster victims in Jiuchang County.
"Not selling it, just renting out the storefront and turning it into a food street and an antique street. What do you think?" Lin Xijin asked her question.
"We can open two stores here, Jiaxin Dolls and Lin's Ice Drinks." Xinlan considered her own business first.
"I think we can also open children's clothing stores, ready-made clothing stores, and hair accessories stores." Xijia thought for a moment and added.
"Rulin Bookstore can also be opened, and we can add more calligraphy and paintings and antiques for sale." Xihui seemed to be thinking about something.
"Sister, let's open a pastry shop. Our pastries are so delicious, they will definitely sell well."
These children are very bold and have many ideas, so parents may as well listen to their children's opinions when they are stuck in thinking.
"Sister Jin, can I reserve two shops? I want to get some Sichuan snacks here." Ming Ruyue was also very excited.
"Of course, just tell Xingwu to register when you get back." Lin Xijin doesn't care who moves in, the key is quality.
Ming Ruyue couldn't wait to get back, so she immediately ran to let Xingwu report. Shangguan Rui's delicious food would naturally have to open a restaurant here.
The overview of Nanxun is similar to that of Qingzhen. After a tour, everyone confirmed the shops they could open and the tourism projects they could develop, and decided to take a look at the Delicious Food Base in West Lake.
In the evening at West Lake, the water and the sky are one color, as if the heaven and earth have used the most gentle brushstrokes to gently erase the boundary. Under the gentle caress of the setting sun, the lake surface sparkles, like countless bright diamonds gently jumping and flashing charming light.
Lin Xijin led a group of people to the site of Delicious House by the West Lake. Uncle Mu Xiong happened to be working there with his craftsmen. When he saw everyone, he hurried over to greet them.
"Jin'er, Young Master Shangguan, and Young Master Qi, you are here." Uncle Mu Xiong greeted them warmly.
"Uncle Mu Xiong, thank you for your hard work." Lin Xijin said sincerely.
"Dad." Xingwu stepped forward and greeted him.
"Greetings, father-in-law." Li Yunxi stepped forward and bowed.
"No need to be polite!" Uncle Mu Xiong said, "Why are you two here too?"
"Uncle Mu Xiong, I transferred them here to take care of the business. I have already bought a house near the government office and it will be ready in two days. You can move in then." Lin Xijin explained.
"Well, I can live anywhere, Jin'er, you don't have to worry about it."
Shangguan Rui took the opportunity to look at the entire base while everyone was chatting. It had restaurants, inns, pavilions, terraces, rockery, ponds, floating bridges and plank roads. It was a great place for leisure and entertainment. After it was built, you could live here for a while without leaving the gate of the leisure villa.
Shangguan Rui felt that Hangzhou's Delicious Restaurant needed to completely change its profit-sharing model. The profits must be split 50-50, or he could only take 40%, otherwise it would be really unfair to Lin Xijin for all the effort she put in.
Finally, everyone took Uncle Mu Xiong back to the government office for dinner.
But when they returned to the government office, everyone was quite surprised. Murong Xu arrived with his personal guards and was drinking tea in the main hall accompanied by Li Yuze.
Everyone came forward to greet.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xijin asked, "Didn't the emperor say that he was busy with government affairs and didn't allow you to go out?"
"Are you all okay?" Murong Xu did not answer Lin Xijin's question, but asked with concern.
"It's okay. Everyone was just a little frightened at the beginning. With my Seven Star Pavilion behind us, nothing can happen." Qi Jinghao said proudly.
"Why are you here again? Why are you so idle? Is there nothing to do in the Seven Star Pavilion?" Murong Xu asked unhappily, his frown could have pinched a fly to death.
"I'm here to protect my savior and discuss cooperation. Why can't I come to the territory of Dajin?" Qi Jinghao spoke very fluently.
Seeing that the two were going to continue arguing, Ming Ruyue hurriedly said to Murong Xu: "Brother-in-law, my name is Ming Ruyue. Brother Hao is here with me to relax, and I am here to learn business from Sister Jin."
The word "brother-in-law" interrupted the verbal battle between the two. Murong Xu looked at the little girl in front of him and the children staring at him, feeling a little annoyed. He touched his nose and was too embarrassed to say anything.
Lin Xijin looked at him with a half-smile, and Murong Xu realized his mistake belatedly. He himself didn't understand why his usual calmness and composure disappeared when he met this guy.
"Brother-in-law, are you jealous?" An An asked in a low voice.
"The kid is just talking nonsense." Murong Xu also answered in a low voice.
But their "whispers" could be heard clearly by this group of people who were all very powerful.
So everyone burst into laughter, not caring that the object of the joke was the crown prince.
"Jin'er, do you know that I was really scared? I was worried that something might happen to you." After returning to the room after dinner, Murong Xu held her soft and fragrant body in his arms, buried his big head in her neck, and said in a deep voice.
"What is there to worry about?" Lin Xijin said, "It's not like we haven't experienced this before."
"But you have so many children this time! Duan Jingyun and Lele are just getting started."
"I think you just want to take this opportunity to ask your father, the emperor, for leave so you can sneak out and have some fun."
"Jin'er, you are so heartless! You don't know how worried I am about you and how much I miss you..."
And then, nothing happened. All of Lin Xijin’s words were swallowed up.
