Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Consequence of Laziness As those few people began to smash the table, Old Tang unhurriedly clapped his hands. Among the waiters, someone suddenly put down what they were holding, leapt forward, and in a few moves, stopped Liu Chun and his five or six men. "The son of Liu the adviser, correct?" Old Tang looked at those agile waiters and said, "Go, take Young Master Liu to Advisor Liu, just tell him, Young Master Liu broke one of our large tables, five chairs, and some bowls and chopsticks. I won’t ask for much, just let the adviser send fifty taels of silver over." "Yes!" The group responded and, ignoring the other guests’ astonishment and Liu Chun’s men’s curses, escorted them straight outside. In less than a quarter of an hour, Advisor Liu arrived with Liu Chun. Not only did he compensate for the damages, but also had Liu Chun apologize. Moreover, he very amicably told Old Tang that the County Magistrate wanted him to visit when he had the time. Since then, everyone knew that although Shengxiang Restaurant was newly opened for less than two years, its backing was probably not small, and even the County Magistrate had to show it respect. Seeing Shen Qinglan remain calm, Old Tang was somewhat surprised. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮 Normally, a young lady witnessing the scene just now would be frightened to some extent, but from start to finish, Shen Qinglan was methodically settling the bill for customers, as if she was long accustomed to such events. Indeed, the people that their Young Master fancies are not ordinary, just like their Young Master. Shen Qinglan only stretched lazily to call it a day after working until the You hour and having dinner. Old Tang was originally worried she couldn’t move the box and had prepared to assign someone to help her carry it to Baihua Lane, but he saw her pick it up casually without turning red or losing her breath as she walked off. "This strength is quite impressive!" Old Tang was astonished. Back when Shen Qinglan came to sell a wild boar, the coachman said Shen Qinglan could move it by herself, which he didn’t believe, so he specially called two strong employees to help unload it. It seems that the coachman probably wasn’t lying after all. After Shen Qinglan returned to the house in Baihua Lane, she moved the box into the East Wing. She planned to leave the main house for Shen Shan and Dong Yao, the east and west side rooms for Shen Qingzhu and Shen Qingping, while she and Shen Qingju would stay in the east and west wings. According to ancient housing allocation, this is actually somewhat unreasonable. Logically, she and Shen Qingju should stay further back, but in her mind, there weren’t so many rules. There was a well in the courtyard. Shen Qinglan fetched water to the kitchen, only then remembering she hadn’t bought pots and pans yet. Too lazy to buy them, she could only wash in cold water. The result of such laziness was a high fever in the middle of the night, waking up groggy the next day, with a runny nose and sore eyes. When she arrived at the restaurant, she gave Old Tang a fright, and he absolutely refused to let her work. He even sent her to the dormitory he’d previously tidied up for her, and had someone call a doctor over. After seeing the doctor and drinking the medicine, he heard there was nothing serious, only then did Old Tang breathe a sigh of relief. Before the Young Master left, he repeatedly instructed him to take good care of her. Now, well, after just one night, she got sick like this. If the Young Master found out, who knows if he would deduct his wages. Shen Qinglan thought this body of hers was too weak. If it were her in a past life, not to mention a cold shower, even soaking in icy water for a day might have been nothing more than turning into a popsicle. Drowsily, she took a nap and when she woke again, the fever had subsided, but she still felt a bit dizzy.
