After three rounds of drinking, Shen Lianxin saw that Zhou Shulan was already very drunk and started to ask for wine herself. She knew that it was enough and she couldn't drink any more.

The little girl next to her anxiously advised her wife, "Madam, please don't drink anymore. What if someone sees you?"

Shen Lianxin signaled her not to rush, "You, that, girl, take Sister Shulan to the backyard to rest, and come back after she sobers up."

The little girl nodded, "My name is Lanhua."

Lanhua held up Zhou Shulan, and her small body was weighed down and toppled over. Shen Lianxin was frightened when she saw this, and she threw her down again.

"Give it to me." He carried Zhou Shulan on his back and walked towards the backyard with a handkerchief half covering him.

Shen Lianxin threw her on the bed. Zhou Shulan had already fallen asleep.

"Your wife doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays?"

Lanhua was stunned, "Of course not, whose wife drinks?"

Well, yes, most women in this dynasty still followed the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. It cannot be said that there were no women who drank for no reason, but it can only be said that there were few.

Shen Lianxin didn't expect that Zhou Shulan would be knocked down after drinking just two bottles.

"You stay here to look after your wife and don't let anyone in. Call me if you need anything." I guess he would sleep for half a day after feeling this.

Instructing Lanhua to guard the door, Shen Lianxin asked Yunniang to prepare some sobering soup. She also told her family that no one was allowed to enter her room, and little Chengzhen also went to the next room to rest.

After everything was arranged, the door was blocked by people waiting to eat barbecue. Shen Lianxin gave the order, "Open for business!"

As the gate opened, the crowd poured in, complaining as they walked.

"What's going on at your house? You're still not open this late."

"Is your store still open for business? Why is it open so late?"

"I've been waiting at the door for almost half an hour. What time do you open the door?"

Uncle Zhang smiled and invited everyone in one by one.

Bai Zhi was a pretty little girl. She said in a high voice, "Thank you all for your love and for keeping you waiting. Today, each table will receive a plate of side dishes. You can order as many side dishes as you like. Enjoy your meal!"

The little girl's voice was crisp and sweet, like a lark, and the guests immediately cheered.

"Thank you, Miss Baizhi!"

"Ms. Baizhi is so generous!"

"That's great, give me some smashed cucumber as a side dish!"

"I want a big mixed vegetable!"

The atmosphere suddenly became lively. Bai Zhi scolded the men who laughed at her, which made everyone laugh again.

Shen Lianxin watched the excitement and thought, this is great, this little girl is smart and bold, and she is very efficient when doing things, she is really good.

Shen Lianxin was happy to see that her store was doing a booming business and everyone was busy, but she was a little bored.

When it was almost dark, Zhou Shulan woke up and said a little embarrassedly, "Well, I was drunk. I'm sorry to have embarrassed my sister."

Shen Lianxin quickly brought the hangover soup and said, "Sister Shulan, don't mind. I often get drunk too. Drink this first and your stomach will feel better."

Zhou Shulan drank the hangover soup and nodded, "Much better."

"Would you like something to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make some pasta?"

"No, it's getting late. I'm out for a day. If I don't go back, the master will probably send someone to look for me." He laughed as he said this.

It's obvious at first glance that she has a very good relationship with the prefect, and her face is filled with a happy smile.

Shen Lianxin also laughed, "Sister Shulan is so happy."

Zhou Shulan tidied up her appearance and said, "I'll meet my sister another day."

Zhou Shulan stood up and walked out directly from the main entrance. Shen Lianxin followed. People dining in the restaurant noticed Zhou Shulan and stood up one after another. "Madam, it's the Magistrate's wife."

When she was still the prefect or the county magistrate, she was deeply loved by the people of Yuncheng. Zhou Shulan also often distributed porridge and did charity work. Especially during this plague, if it weren't for Zhou Shulan and her husband, Yuncheng would be in dire straits. Therefore, the people were not unfamiliar with her.

"Hello, Madam Prefect!"

"Madam Prefect!"

"lady!"

Everyone stood up and saluted Zhou Shulan.

Zhou Shulan extended her hand downwards, signalling that everyone didn't need to be polite. She turned around to look at Shen Lianxin and said, "This Shen's BBQ is very delicious. The owner of Shen's BBQ and I are sisters. Everyone is welcome to come and support us more in the future!"

When everyone heard Zhou Shulan say this, they applauded.

"I also think that Shen's BBQ is unique. It's opened by Madam's sister. I will definitely come here more often in the future."

"Yeah! I'll invite my friends over later!"

"sure!"

Shen Lianxin didn't expect Zhou Shulan to do this. She was a little moved for a moment and saluted everyone with a smile.

After seeing Zhou Shulan off, Shen Lianxin hurried back to the backyard. She felt a little uncomfortable being the center of attention.

Among the diners, two tables of big men looked at each other. They had collected the money and were ready to cause trouble.

Before they even started looking for trouble, the prefect's wife showed up and said, "Shen's BBQ has the prefect's background, we can't afford to offend them."

"That's right. If I offend you, will there be any good in the future?"

"This money can't be earned. Have you heard? The owner of Shen's BBQ seems to be called Shen Lianxin."

"Shen Lianxin? The Shen Lianxin who took out the life-saving prescription during the plague?"

"That should be right. Didn't you see that the prefect's wife became a sister to her?"

The leader of the group threw down his chopsticks and said angrily, "These bastards, even though we are hooligans, we can't do such a thing. Shen Lianxin has saved lives in the whole city, and she asked us brothers to find trouble in her store. Isn't this harming us?"

"That's right. If the prefect puts him in jail, this little money won't be enough to pay for his bribes."

"go!"

Several people threw a piece of silver on the table and left.

Uncle Zhang had been paying attention to the movements here, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people leave.

Find Shen Lianxin, "What's wrong, Uncle Zhang? Are you sweating from working so hard? Take a break."

"Boss, a group of thugs broke into our store today. I'm afraid they're here to cause trouble."

Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows, "Is there such a thing? Where is the person? Take me to see."

"They left. They just left. I was keeping an eye on them, fearing something might happen. Unexpectedly, the prefect's wife came out from the backyard. I guess she frightened a few people and they all left."

Shen Lianxin sat down again. Unexpectedly, Zhou Shulan helped her resolve a crisis inadvertently.

Shen Lianxin nodded, "Who are these people?"

Zhang Bo thought for a moment, "They are just a bunch of idle people who bully men and women all day long. But our county magistrate, who is now the prefect, has strict management, so they dare not do too much. They usually do things for money."

Zhang Bo was startled for a moment, "Boss, have we offended anyone?"

Shen Lianxin thought about it and thought, who could a village woman from outside the village like her offend? It must be because her business was so good that people were jealous of her. The business had only been open for two days and they already couldn't accommodate her.

Shen Lianxin is not someone who will sit there and wait for death, or be slaughtered. Since you want to play, it's okay for me to play with you.
