After breaking off relations, the prince's family regretted it for the rest of their lives.

Chapter 299: Long time no see, one show-off

A hotpot meal dispelled Lin Chaoyang and Chu Yuntian's slander against him.

The emperor personally ordered Chen Changan to settle the remnants of Red Flower properly, and that it would not be too late to marry *** after all the things were done.

With the emperor's approval, Chen Changan spared no effort.

Everything is ready today. The Pindaodao Commercial Street has long disappeared and has been replaced by a hotpot sign.

Opposite is the Xiaoxiang Grand Theater.

Later in the evening, the streets on both sides were crowded with people, and the scene was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

"Don't push, don't push, you're squeezing the children!"

"If you have a child, go back and give birth! I have to try the white jade soup. It is said that Emperor Taizu drank it!"

"I heard that the emperor will come here tonight, but I don't know if it's true!"

"Of course, there's no father-in-law who doesn't support his son-in-law!"

"Oh, I really envy Master Chen..."

The people were all talking about it. Hu Deyong's men were also in the crowd. When they saw Chen Changan appear, they waved their arms vigorously.

"Master Chen, I love you!"

"Hahaha!"

The maids took advantage of the night and boldly expressed their love.

Chen Changan found it interesting and just walked over: "Why are you here?"

"Master Chen, can't we come?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Chen offers us White Jade Soup. Let's try it!"

"Don't bother with us, just go about your business!"

Chen Changan shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I was asking how you can be with the people?"

The maids were all stunned. Who else should they go with if not the common people?

Chen Changan turned around and smiled: "Jingyi, in the staff passage of the relic hall, today is our big day, they are willing to come here to give us face, we must make sure they eat and drink well."

"Don't worry, I know."

Sun Jingyi waved her hand and the people maintaining order made way for a passage.

Although the passage was opened, no maid dared to enter.

"Master Chen, we, we are just servants, we are not worthy of you doing this."

The maids said gratefully, "We appreciate your kindness, but we just want to see the fun, and then we will go back."

"Why go back? Is this how Chen Changan treats his own people?"

Chen Changan said unhappily: "Come in if I tell you to. Don't talk nonsense to me. You are all my brothers and sisters."

"Also, if you want to treat your relatives to a meal in the future, just come over boldly. We will charge you at cost price."

With just one sentence, the maids instantly felt that they had found a good manager!

Not to mention asking them to work hard, even if they had to give their lives to Chen Changan, they would be willing to do so!

"Long live the number one scholar!"

Everyone shouted in surprise, admiring Chen Changan to the extreme!

"You want me to die?"

Chen Changan gritted his teeth and shook his head. How could words like "Long live" be said casually?

The maids were chatting and laughing. They were the first customers to enter Haidilao.

There is white jade soup on every table!

Mother Hong was the owner of Xiaoxiang Theater. She twisted her graceful hips and spoke loudly to everyone.

"Dear elders, welcome to join us in the grand opening banquet of Haidilao!"

"Today is also the opening day of Xiaoxianglou Theater. You can eat hot pot and watch operas. All consumption is 20% off!"

"Now, open the door and officially open for business!"

Following Mother Hong's command, the door opened instantly.

People poured in like a tide!

Rich people who want to experience Haidilao rush into the room, but there are more poor people who just come to get the free white jade soup!

Chen Changan doesn’t care, as long as there are enough people!

Seeing the huge crowds of people, Chen Changan was satisfied and greeted guests with a smile.

"There are guests!"

Several security guards responsible for maintaining order stood at the gate and shouted, "Miss Yan Qingyan from the Li Mansion, congratulations to Master Chen on the grand opening of Haidilao!"

Yan Qing is here!

Most of the people here are common people, so Yan Qing is naturally not seen here normally.

Yan Qing was seen standing on tiptoe with her small feet, and the maid behind her was holding a gift and bowed gently to Chen Changan.

Yan Qing opened her red lips and said, "Manager Chen!"

Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "I am not a shopkeeper at all. This is Liu Ruge's business."

“Isn’t Haidilao yours?”

Chen Changan didn't say much, just nodded and smiled.

Next, rows of distinguished guests came to visit!

"Guests are here! The governor of Jiangdu Prefecture congratulates you on your grand opening!"

"Guests are here! The Minister of Industry congratulates you on your grand opening!"

"Guests have arrived! The Minister of Rites and the Qilin Opera Troupe's top actor Chen Luo congratulate you!"

Chen Changan was very surprised and looked back at Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was also confused, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "The Minister of Rites is Liu Qing, and the Qilin Theatre Company he created is unique in the State of Chu."

"Chen Luo, isn't Chen Luo your eighth sister?"

Chen Changan smiled coldly: "I don't even have parents, where does my eighth sister come from?"

"What should we do? Drive them out?"

Yan Qing curled her lips and chuckled: "Here comes a guest, how can you chase him away?"

"I have met Liu Qing twice. Let me receive him for you."

Before Chen Changan could say anything, the Minister of Rites came over and clasped his fists towards Chen Changan: "Sir Chen, I am sorry for your disrespect."

Since he was the one who impeached him in the court that day, Chen Changan naturally didn't have a good impression of him.

"Master Liu, Xiaoxiang Theater took your job. Are you here to call you to task?"

Liu Qing laughed loudly, and Chen Luo said, "Chen Hanzi, Sir Liu is willing to come and take a look. It's your ancestral grave that has green smoke coming out!"

"Humph, how can a mere amateur troupe be compared with the Qilin Theatre Company?"

"Stop laughing so hard that your teeth fall out!"

Chen Changan frowned, and Yan Qing quickly came out to smooth things over: "The Eighth Princess is right, Changan also wanted to give the Red Flower remnants a chance to survive, but he didn't expect to take away your jobs."

"Since Master Liu is here, I would like to treat you to a hot pot meal and ask you some questions about music."

Chen Luo came here to laugh at Chen Changan.

She just didn't believe it. How could a theater be established by a hastily assembled team that hadn't even learned systematic acting?

She giggled and looked at Chen Changan with disdain: "Okay, then let's try the hot pot and see how Chen Hanzi embarrasses himself!"

"Why hasn't it started yet? I'm looking forward to it!"

Chen Luo followed Yan Qing into Haidilao, and Mother Hong gritted her teeth in anger.

But she also thought that maybe what Chen Luo said was true.

"Zhuangyuanlang, can we do it? I have no idea..."

"Be bold, I'm sure you can!"

Chen Changan shook his head and smiled: "We have been busy for so long, we have to go out for a walk, I believe it will be no problem!"

Mother Hong could only sigh softly, looking worried about the future.

At this time, a trembling voice was heard from the door: "Guests are here!"

"Prince Xiang Wang celebrates the opening of Haidilao and presents a gift of 100,000 taels of silver!"

"Long live the prince, long live the prince, long live the prince!"

Everyone knelt on the ground, and Chen Changan raised his head.

But he saw Xiang Wang in casual clothes, escorted by four golden-armored guards, walking towards him triumphantly.

Haven't seen you for many days, and you're still as showy as ever.
