Chapter 103 Membership Card!
Yun Chuhuan himself didn't know why, but he was never afraid when he saw the emperor, his biological father. However, when he faced the Marquis of Wu'an, he felt uncomfortable all over.

After saying this, he shrank back behind Yun Shu.

Fortunately, neither Yun Shu nor Wu An Hou paid attention to his abnormality at this moment.

The two of them only took the time to say hello, and important officials from the court, such as Marquis Wu'an, who went back home to change clothes after court session and then came this way, also arrived one after another.

The first to arrive was Zuo Xiang, who came with Liu Ziming.

Perhaps it is because it has been difficult for civil officials and military generals to live in peace since ancient times, Prime Minister Liu and Marquis Wu'an can be considered old rivals.

After simply greeting Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan, Liu Xiang glanced at Wu An Hou nonchalantly, and said in a sarcastic tone:
"Which floor does Marquis Wu'an plan to go to later?"

Wu Anhou ignored him and just took out a silver note of one thousand and handed it to Tang Xinhua:

"Get a silver membership."

"What is Silver Card Membership?"

General Weiyuan appeared at some point, and just when he heard Marquis Wu'an's words, he took out half a tael of silver from his pocket with a confused look on his face:

"Didn't they say that you can get a meal for 500 Wen?"

"It's written on the sign at the door. Didn't you see it?"

Although General Weiyuan was a military commander like her grandfather, he had previously prevented the princess from receiving a title.

Cen Yiyi didn't like him very much. When she explained the restaurant rules for Yunshu, her tone was unusually aggressive, not as soft and cute as usual:
“The first floor costs 500 wen per person, the second floor costs 10 taels of silver per person, the third floor starts at 100 taels, and the fourth floor starts at 500 taels.

If you deposit 1,000 taels in advance, you can get a silver card membership and enjoy a 10% discount.

If you deposit 10,000 taels in advance, you will become a gold card member and receive a 20% discount on every purchase."

General Weiyuan: “…”

No, the starting point is one hundred taels, and there is even a minimum of five hundred taels!
This price is outrageous!
"Lord Lu looks very embarrassed!"

As they were talking, another official who did not get along well with General Weiyuan came in and laughed:

"Who doesn't know that Lord Lu is henpecked? He has five hundred coins on him, and I don't know how long he has been secretly saving them!

Asking him to take out one thousand taels of silver all at once is no different from asking for his life. "

"Who said I can't take it out?"

General Weiyuan's face turned red with embarrassment after his colleagues laughed at his weak spot.

"I'm just picky about food. I have to taste it first before I can decide whether to apply for the gold or silver card!

You all have time to hang out here and ask me whether I'm going to apply for a card, but have you already done it?"

Well said!

That’s how it has to be, we have to squeeze each other so hard that everyone feels embarrassed not to apply for a card!

Yun·Shang·Shu, who was standing quietly by and watching the show, interrupted at the right time with a smile:

"Because the membership card process is quite delicate and the production speed is relatively slow, we only have 50 of each for the time being.

In addition, today is the first day of business, and my father is also paying close attention to it. He specifically told me to bring the account books back today so that he can take a personal look at them.

Therefore, the deadline for card application today is 3 p.m., and I hope you can understand."

what?
There are only 100 gold and silver cards in total, and are they available for a limited time?

This, this must be done! Putting aside the question of whether it is a face-saving thing or not, who doesn't know that there is the shadow of His Majesty behind this Tianwaitian Restaurant?

The state treasury is empty, and your Majesty's private treasury is equally poor.

Why did Princess Saint Ann specifically mention this, saying that His Majesty wanted to check the accounts?

That might be a warning to them on behalf of His Majesty, so that they would have some idea of ​​what's going on!
Your Majesty's place!
Who dares not to praise them? If they really dared not to praise them, they would not be here today.

The noisy scene suddenly quieted down as Yun Shu finished speaking. Among the people present, there were a few who originally did not want to pay too much money, and their faces were obviously stiff for a moment.

Liu Xiang was the one who reacted the fastest. He turned around and handed over five silver notes of 10,000 taels:
"Your Highness just said that a deposit of 10,000 taels only qualifies you for a gold card membership.

So I guess it shouldn't be a problem to save 50,000 in this card, right?"

"It's natural."

He really is worthy of being born into the richest family in Jiangnan. He is so generous!
Yun Shu smiled and gave Tang Xinhua a look. The latter took the banknote and took up the pen, reading out what she had written in a voice that all the officials present could hear:
"Right Prime Minister, deposit 50,000 taels of silver and get a gold card membership!"

Other ministers: "..."

No, are you guys so unpolished in doing things?
Why do you need to read this out loud?

Can't you just do it secretly?
This makes those who just want to give a lowest price as a token of their appreciation feel so embarrassed!

Wu Anhou clearly didn’t pronounce it this way when he applied for the card just now!

Someone who was feeling unhappy couldn't help but hide in the crowd and muttered something quietly, which happened to be heard by Yun Shu.

But she didn't look guilty at all, and remained calm:
“In fact, we don’t usually read it out loud like this.

The situation today is special, with so many people here and a lot of money involved. If something goes wrong at any stage in the process, it will be difficult to explain it at that time.

Reading it out clearly like this is also for double confirmation.

If there are any problems, it is convenient to point them out on the spot and correct them in time.

So... I hope you all will forgive me."

"..."

Now that she has said this, who dares to say that they don't want to forgive her?

Even if they knew that she did it on purpose, didn't they still have to jump into the trap she dug?
For the first time in their lives, these officials who didn't want to pay were somewhat envious of those officials who came from humble backgrounds.

Why should they be cheated just because they are born into aristocratic families and have money?

Your Majesty and Princess Saint Ann are really too biased!
Many people secretly complained about it, but on the surface, they had to pretend to be happy and lined up to apply for the card.

Even those who did not have enough money on them secretly asked their servants to return home as quickly as possible to get it.

Suddenly, the card processing counter became busier and busier.

From time to time, you can still hear the voices of officials who are at odds with each other.

"Why did Lord Wang only offer 15,000 taels?
A few days ago, I heard from my wife that your master spent a lot of money in Wanhua Tower!
Why, has Master Ling spent all the money?"

"Master Chen is so rich, but he only deposited 18,000 taels?
It's only three thousand taels more than mine. Are you looking down on Her Royal Highness the Princess or..."

"Don't talk nonsense! I was..."
