Chapter 117: Hard Sales
It was dinner time and the small noodle stall was doing particularly good business. It was full of people early on because there was a barbecue stall next to it.
People who can’t afford meat find the aroma of meat particularly appealing to their rice. Oh, no, it should be said that meat tastes delicious. They also feel a sense of happiness after eating meat.
It is rare to see people like Song Qingwan eating noodles with roasted chicken and roasted lamb legs. This is already a preparation for the "rich".
Therefore, Song Qingwan also felt very happy. If the old couple opposite her didn't stare at her, she might feel more comfortable.
In that case, it would be better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Treating them to a roast chicken occasionally is not a problem with her current financial resources. And there is no other way, she is such a warm and kind person.
So without waiting for the couple's consent, Song Qingwan directly instructed the barbecue owner, "Uncle, serve a chicken and a leg of lamb to these two brothers and sisters, and put it on my bill." She thought, no one can resist the temptation of barbecue.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Boss Song bought a lot today, so I'll give you a discount."
The barbecue stall owner said happily, picked up the freshly grilled meat on the stall, cut it as needed, sliced it as needed, and added some sauce, perfect!
He has been grilling meat here for many years. He had witnessed with his own eyes the heroic feat of Song Qingwan and the officials bravely breaking into the Huang Biao Agency, which made people applaud.
Later, people watched her taking down the Seven Slave Saints in one fell swoop, which was also particularly amazing.
There actually is such a remarkable woman in this world. I don’t know how her parents raised her. Anyway, ordinary people like us can never do it.
What made him even more excited was that a big shot like Song Qingwan especially loved his barbecue! Hahaha~ The benefit was that it boosted his business.
Therefore, when Song Qingwan came to the store for the second time, the boss treated her to a free meal, and gradually she developed a good relationship with the people at the Jing Factory.
Unlike those people from the former Huang Escort Agency, even a small groom would often come and eat and dine for free, which made people lose money and feel very angry.
Now that the boss of the Jing Factory is so disciplined, I think her subordinates should not be so arrogant.
Song Qingwan didn't know what the butcher was thinking, but a discount would be the best. "Thank you, uncle. I wish you a prosperous business and lots of money."
"Hehe~ Good luck to you!" While he was speaking, the boss had already cut two plates of meat and brought them to the couple's small table.
"Uh~ How can I feel embarrassed?" What was even more embarrassing was that he, an old man in his fifties, was addressed as 'brother' by a girl of seventeen or eighteen. No matter how thick-skinned he was, the emperor couldn't help but blush.
But the barbecue looks really good and is irresistible.
The queen was more straightforward. Not only did she accept the gift, she also suggested, "Boss, please help me take the plate to the little girl's table. Do you mind if we share a table?"
Other mothers-in-law become more and more picky about their daughters-in-law the more they look at them, but she took a liking to Song Qingwan at first sight. She wanted to get closer to this peculiar girl and get to know her better.
Song Qingwan's eyes flickered slightly. She didn't expect the other party to make such a request. But it didn't matter. It was more lively with more people. Anyway, there was still room for the table. "Welcome, please come in."
However, she always felt that these two people looked familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before. Were they really just trying to get a free meal?
The queen smiled brightly, picked up her bowl and walked over, her movements were extremely graceful and natural. Little did she know that her smile was like a peony suddenly blooming, becoming even more beautiful and generous. Even though she was dressed simply, it did not affect her beauty and noble aura at all.
When the emperor saw that the empress had left, he also slowly picked up his bowl and walked over. His movements were calm and elegant, as if he was not holding an ordinary bowl, but a bowl filled with imperial calligraphy.
In particular, his movements and appearance were particularly similar to those of a certain person. No, it should be said that the person was very similar to him.
Looking at the facial features of the couple again, Song Qingwan's heart skipped a beat!
It's over! Wouldn't this couple be able to give birth to a child named Li Minghe? !
So, this middle-aged couple in plain dress are actually the emperor and empress! That should be it, right? If Li Minghe is the prince, Song Qingwan has not deliberately checked Li Minghe, so she is not sure.
But even if they are not the emperor and empress, there is a 90% chance that they are Li Minghe's parents, so, why are they looking for me?
Could it be that they would spend money to make her leave their noble and excellent son? Or, let her become Li Minghe's concubine?
Song Qingwan remained calm, but she was actually still very panicked. After all, it was too sudden.
However, after she did some psychological preparation, she gradually calmed down.
What's there to be afraid of! She is a kind and law-abiding citizen who doesn't rely on the emperor or empress for food. If they don't agree with her being with Li Minghe,
Then she will snatch away the beautiful Minghe, humph!
"The little girl has a really sweet mouth and a good appetite." The queen exclaimed as she sat down. Look, a bowl of noodles and two pots of meat. Isn't it true that the more capable a person is, the bigger their appetite is?
Anyway, just looking at it makes people hungry. The queen doesn't mind the dirtiness, nor is she afraid of poison. She picks up the barbecue and takes small bites. Hmm~ it is indeed delicious.
The happy meal made her look even more radiant and beautiful. She was like a queen, her every move was dignified and elegant.
However, Song Qingwan could always hear the hidden meaning in her words. What does it mean to have a sweet mouth and a good appetite? She didn't mean that her sweet mouth would seduce her son, did she?
He also said that she has a big appetite. Does he think that she is overestimating her own limitations and can't afford Li Minghe?
However, she also didn't need others to think so, but only needed to feel good about herself. Song Qingwan immediately said with a smile, "It's just average, third in the world."
The emperor's hands trembled when he heard this, and he almost dropped his chopsticks. "Third?" How much can he eat? Usually, noble ladies would not eat more than three mouthfuls, but this little Miss Song drank three bowls directly. It must be said that Li Minghe's taste is really strong!
It's impossible that the little girl is lying. Does she know that she is deceiving the emperor? All her clans must be killed.
The queen did not make a fuss, but instead agreed more and more, "Oh, being able to eat is a blessing, and this is what a girl should do. Eating well and drinking well will keep her body healthy, and a healthy body will make it easier to give birth!" She seemed to have seen her little grandson waving to her.
"Puff!" Song Qingwan sneered. The other party's thinking was a bit too far-fetched. So what did they think? Did they agree with her and Li Minghe?
Seeing Song Qingwan dumbfounded, the Queen smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth, "Are you shy, kid? Don't be afraid, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough.
By the way, what do you call me, little girl? Are you engaged? Let me tell you, I have a son who is also the third best in the world. Do you want to consider it?
If you marry into our family, you will not suffer any loss, you will not be deceived, and you can save yourself decades of hard work and directly reach the peak of your life."
The queen racked her brains to promote her son, leaving the emperor speechless. You are too crazy and too presumptuous, you know? It will scare the girl away.
The emperor had such an idea because he had never seen the beauty paintings by Li Minghe with his own eyes, otherwise he would know how courageous, charming, and wild Song Qingwan was, and how important she was to his son.
But the queen knew it, so she couldn't wait and made it clear directly that it was all for her son's sexual happiness.
