Chapter 61 The bright moon had long since fallen into the ditch.
There are also cases of people forcibly giving things away.
Su Mowan was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, Tang Minzhi let go of her hand and turned around to walk hurriedly towards the private room.
Su Mowan raised the exquisite little box in her hand.
Just as he was about to open it, Yinshuang walked over with a strange expression.
Clearing her throat, Su Mowan concealed the brocade box under her wide sleeves.
"Yinshuang, what's wrong?"
Yinshuang thought about it and realized that if the prince had seen what had just happened, it would have been disastrous.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Consort Su, you should stay away from Young Master Tang from now on. The Prince will be unhappy if he finds out."
"You just saw it?"
Su Mowan stared intently at Yinshuang with her dark eyes. "Young Master Tang just wanted to express his gratitude."
Yinshuang nodded and added, "Men and women should not touch each other."
"..."
These words carried eight parts of Murong Jing's tone, and Su Mowan's expression immediately hardened.
"It's true that men and women shouldn't touch each other, but last time I think I saw Chaoyang under that old tree inside the courtyard gate. It was the middle of the night, and although I couldn't see very clearly, it seemed like he was holding..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yinshuang quickly said, "It is only right for Young Master Tang to give a gift of thanks. Consort Su should not refuse his gratitude!"
I knew that integrity was something meant to be swept away.
Su Mowan took the brocade box and went downstairs.
Inside the private room, the two young men looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Minzhi, why do you look like that? Haven't you already sent the things out?"
"Yeah, yeah, Minzhi, you're such a man!"
Tang Minzhi was so distraught that she didn't have time to deal with these two lunatics and waved her hand dismissively as if shooing away flies.
"Shut up, all of you. Let me have some peace and quiet."
"Is he so happy he's gone mad?" Young Master Xue asked.
“I don’t think so,” another young master chuckled. “It looks like unsatisfied desire.”
"If you don't shut up, you're paying for dinner today."
Tang Minzhi glanced at the two of them irritably, then walked to the window and stood there.
The two looked at each other, neither understanding why Tang Minzhi's expression had suddenly changed.
"Minzhi, tell us what's on your mind, and we brothers will help you come up with a solution," said Young Master Xue with a righteous expression.
Tang Minzhi clenched his fist and tapped his forehead, seemingly very annoyed.
He said in a low voice, "That girl. She is Miss Su the Second from the General's Mansion."
Young Master Xue immediately shouted, "What did you say?!"
"The second young lady of General Su's family?! Isn't she born out of wedlock?"
The other one couldn't hold back either.
Tang Minzhi said with disappointment, "The important thing is that she's already married."
The two young masters fell silent.
After a while, the young master with a somewhat roguish air frowned and slammed his hand on the table.
"So what if you're married? As long as you're happy, Minzhi, I'll get you a divorce decree another day!"
Young Master Xue awkwardly pulled the arrogant young master aside: "Chi Xuan, don't talk nonsense. Do you even know who she married before you dare to speak so presumptuously!"
Chi Xuan was unconvinced and slapped away Young Master Xue's hand.
"Whoever he is, I'll make him hand it over obediently!"
After saying that, seeing that Young Master Xue was looking at him dejectedly, Chi Xuan said again, rather unsure of himself, "At worst, I'll ask my brother for help."
Young Master Xue sighed.
"Don't even mention looking for your brother, it's no use even if you look for your ancestors. You just came from Jizhou and don't know, but that Miss Su married our Prince Qin, who is known as the God of War of Yunmo!"
"It's His Highness Prince Qin?" Chi Xuan touched his nose. "Minzhi, then just pretend I was talking nonsense."
"..."
Young Master Xue walked over and patted Tang Minzhi on the shoulder with sympathy, "It's a pity that you gave your heart to Mingyue, but Mingyue has already fallen into the ditch."
"..."
Tang Minzhi slapped his hand away and said weakly, "Don't mess with me, or you won't get anything to eat later."
This sentence is the most effective.
The two of them shut up and started whispering to each other, ignoring him.
As soon as Su Mowan went downstairs, Manager Qian immediately came over.
"Boss, when would you like to discuss that 'simpler' method?"
Su Mowan suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten about this.
He immediately smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. The shopkeeper should make a list of all the dishes and write a number in order before each dish name, such as one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and so on. When you need to record the bill next time, you won't need to write the dish name anymore. Just write the corresponding number for that dish. This will save you a lot of trouble."
After saying that, he added a reminder, "Use the symbols I taught you to remember them."
"That's a great idea! Absolutely brilliant!"
Shopkeeper Qian clapped his hands and immediately called to a waiter, "Go and buy a few more sheets of Xuan paper."
Su Mowan added, "Shopkeeper, give him ten taels of silver, buy more, and also buy some oil and wax."
Having learned from his previous experience, Manager Qian didn't ask any more questions and simply handed ten taels of silver to the waiter from behind the counter.
"Manager Qian, we have more and more dishes, and it's too tiring to always have the waiter write them down. You should write down all the dish names first, and then have someone make dozens of copies. After that, lightly brush the copied menu with wax so that the writing will last longer. In the future, when customers come, the waiter won't have to read out the dishes; just give the menu to the customers to read themselves."
Manager Qian's eyes widened in disbelief, and it took him a long time to finally take a deep breath.
"I truly admire you! Consort Su always manages to surprise us!"
Su Mowan smiled sheepishly.
She had a new idea: "How about this, Manager Qian, you number each table, and we can offer some special deals from time to time based on the numbers."
Shopkeeper Qian was speechless with excitement. He gave a thumbs-up and began to spread out paper and pen again.
Yinshuang was completely preoccupied with the fact that the prince had been cuckolded, and she didn't hear any of these novel tricks. So when Murong Jing asked her about it that evening, she just stared at him and didn't say a word.
Su Mowan was lying on a wooden chair by the pond, enjoying the breeze.
She had no idea that her affair had been exposed.
Just as she was about to get up and go back to wash up and go to bed, Granny Wei arrived.
Su Mowan immediately plopped back down.
In her opinion, Granny Wei was far more dangerous than Murong Jing.
Granny Wei, clutching a handkerchief, quickly approached and said with a smile, "Consort Su, it's so late, you shouldn't be out in the wind. Go back inside and take shelter!"
Seeing that her words seemed reasonable, Su Mowan smiled and got up.
"Thank you for reminding me, Granny. I'll go back to my room now."
Unfortunately, before she could take a single step, Wei Mama firmly grabbed her sleeve.
The familiar smile that Su Mowan knew returned to Wei Mama's face.
"Consort Su, don't be anxious! The 'room' I'm referring to isn't the room over here, it's the room over there!"
As she spoke, she pointed her plump fingers, holding a handkerchief, towards the direction of Fenghua Palace.
"..."
The routine is too complicated!
