Chapter 289 Refugees Eat Rice Porridge
Just then a woman came in and asked, "Boss, what's going on in your house? Why are so many beggars brought into the restaurant?"
"What? You can come and eat but others can't?"
As soon as the woman raised her head, she met Su Muyao's cold and indifferent eyes.
"Oh! Are you inviting these beggars to eat in the restaurant?"
Xiao Xia protected Su Muyao and said, "It's none of your business. Our lady can invite anyone she wants to dinner."
When the maidservant sitting beside the woman saw this, she wanted to get closer to Xiao Xia.
The hand that had just been raised was grabbed by Xiao Xia, and then pushed hard.
Xiao Xia pushed the maid, causing her to stagger. The maid's hand hit the table next to her, leaving a bruise on it instantly.
The woman in front of him is named Ye Qingqing, and her family has been in business for generations.
Previously, the master's family was the number one royal merchant in the capital.
However, ever since Su Muyao started a grain and oil shop, the title of the number one imperial merchant was taken away.
I heard that the owner’s house was ransacked at that time.
Although Su Muyao didn't know the woman in front of her, fortunately Xiao Xia was there to explain.
There is a saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the main family was confiscated, the side branches are also very wealthy.
“Humph, you are quite knowledgeable. It’s good that you know that my family understands.
My family has the reputation of being the number one royal merchant.
I advise you to kneel down and apologize to me, otherwise I will make sure you can’t stay in the capital anymore.”
The shopkeeper beside him was trembling.
This is the little princess, and I heard that the little princess is always decisive and will take action as soon as she says she will.
He immediately asked the waiter beside him to go to the palace to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Xiao Xia snorted coldly: "I thought she was some random person? Turns out she's just a merchant's daughter.
What do you mean by the First Imperial Merchant? Why did I hear that the First Imperial Merchant was confiscated half a year ago?"
The maidservant beside her was shocked when she saw Xiao Xia's arrogant look. She wondered if the girl in front of her was the daughter of some rich and powerful family.
Then the maid leaned over to Ye Qingqing and whispered in her ear: "Miss, I see that they are dressed in extraordinary clothes.
And they are not afraid even though you have revealed your identity, could it be that you are the daughter of some high-ranking official?"
When Ye Qingqing heard her maid say this, she slapped her.
She was already very jealous when she saw Su Muyao's face, and now that she has such a background, how could she not be envious and jealous?
"Even if you are the daughter of a high-ranking official, so what? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are old acquaintances."
Ye Qingqing turned to the shopkeeper and said, "I am a friend of your prince, and we have many business dealings. Why are you going to offend me for a little girl who doesn't know her place?"
The shopkeeper felt contempt in his heart when he heard this.
The little princess grew up with the Crown Prince as childhood sweethearts, and they have many business dealings with each other.
Ye Qingqing's father had previously begged the prince for help and gave up a lot of profit before he was able to make two small business deals with His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Ms. Ye, this person is not someone you can afford to offend."
The shopkeeper said all this directly, and I believe that anyone who is a little smart will not continue to argue about it.
But when Ye Qingqing heard this, she realized that the girl in front of her must be the daughter of some high-ranking official.
He stopped arguing and said to the refugees who looked like beggars: "What are you looking at, you stinky beggars?
Don't think that this person in front of you is a good person! If she really cares about you, why would she only give you some porridge?
He is a great man, and you are so grateful for just giving you some rice porridge. You are really stupid."
One of the beggars who was called in first said indignantly: "This lady is kind-hearted and willing to spend money to give so many of us a meal. We should be grateful.
For us, this meat porridge is the most delicious food in the world."
After the man finished speaking, he held the bowl in his hand and drank happily.
He was not good at preaching, but he understood that when they were almost starving to death, this young lady brought them a full meal.
No matter how capable or rich someone is, what does it have to do with them?
There are so many rich people in the whole capital, but no one is willing to give them a meal.
Su Muyao just glanced at the man who was speaking.
Xiao Xia didn't want her young lady to be wrongly accused.
She said to the group of beggars, “Our young lady thought that everyone had not eaten for a long time, so drinking porridge is the best.
Otherwise, if you eat too much at once, it will be difficult to digest the food and it will easily cause stomach pain.”
The beggars around nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
"We all understand, but we are not the kind of ungrateful young lady. It is a great gift for us to be willing to give a warm meal. How can we blame the young lady?"
The person who said this was an old lady, who was seen trembling as she held a large bowl of rice porridge in her hands.
There was also a boy in his teens next to her, looking at Su Muyao with bright eyes.
Su Muyao smiled sweetly at the boy.
The boy quickly lowered his head and clenched his sleeves with his fingers.
Just then, the prince came hurriedly from outside.
Originally, I followed the shopkeeper's instructions and went to the palace to find the prince. Just as I was leaving the restaurant, I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not far away.
When the waiter told the Crown Prince what happened, he saw the Crown Prince use his Qing Kung Fu to disappear in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on here?"
When the shopkeeper saw his boss coming, he quickly told him the whole story.
Ye Qingqing called out tenderly, "Hello, Prince brother. It's all because of this damn girl. Look at what Can thinks of your inn."
They deliberately invited these refugees to the store to cause trouble.
When Long Yuan heard Ye Qingqing calling him "Crown Prince", he flew into a rage: "Who are you? You actually called me "Crown Prince", do I know you? Look at your hoarse voice."
Su Muyao beside her chuckled.
This is the first time I know that Long Yuan can be so vicious when he is outside.
When Ye Qingqing heard this, she was shocked.
My voice is so beautiful, why does it sound like a duck's voice in the prince's mouth?
And him, he actually said he didn’t know me?
"Your Highness, you may have forgotten that my father was discussing business with you a few days ago, and I was there next to you at the time."
At this moment, Ye Qingqing didn't care about etiquette at all and just wanted to explain quickly.
I originally thought that my appearance would at least be remembered by the prince.
In addition, I heard from my father that the prince is young and has been guarding the border and has only been back for a short time.
I guess there aren't any women I know well in the capital, and I hope I can meet him once and leave some impression on him.
Maybe when it comes to choosing a Crown Princess in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still remember me.
Before Ye Qingqing could come to her senses, she saw Long Yuan had already arrived in front of Su Muyao.
"Yaoyao, are you okay?
Why didn't you tell me beforehand? I'll treat you well."
"I was just strolling by here and saw a lot of refugees outside, so I thought I'd let them have something hot to eat first."
Then Su Muyao told Long Yuan what she had heard.
Ye Qingqing looked at Long Yuan and Su Muyao upstairs in disbelief.
Xiao Xia stayed behind and looked at the refugees and said, "Our lady is not like what some people think.
If you are not worried about your stomach being upset, you can eat as much as you want. Eat it while it is hot. If you want to work, come to me to register later."
