Chapter Twenty-Six: The Friends of the Xiangyuan Building
Xiangyuan Building.
Lu Yunxi stood outside the building, raising his head, staring at the plaque of the Xiangyuan Building.
In the past, it was just a second-rate restaurant in the capital, but now with an Oiran like Li Er, the business is very lively, even compared to some high-class restaurants.
There were a few women dressed in flowers and branches standing outside the building, and when they saw someone stopping their horses and getting off the sedan chair, they took a few steps to greet them, and the whole person was going to hang on the person's body, shouting loudly, "Master, you are here." Inside please. ”
She suddenly understood why Fang Cai Li Er was so embarrassed when she made an appointment.
In this era, it should be inappropriate for a lady to swagger in.
But Lu Yunxi is not the original body, the Qinglou is a nightclub in modern times, I heard that the women inside are each born with exquisite beauty, and I don't know what the women in the Qinglou in front of me will look like?
It really aroused Lu Yunxi's curiosity!
Lu Yunxi didn't twist at all, and was about to stride into this Xiangyuan Building, but at this time, he heard a small voice behind him.
"The county lord arrives in ......"
Hearing this, Lu Yunxi immediately turned his head away and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Seeing a red-roofed sedan chair falling off the sedan chair not far away, Cheng Yan opened the sedan curtain, holding a white fan in her hand, with a warm smile on her face, before she leaned out of the sedan chair and waved her hand when she saw Lu Yunxi.
Lu Yunxi immediately greeted him and curtsied, "County Lord." ”
"Why doesn't Miss Lu go in?"
"I was about to go in when the lord came. Lu Yunxi's eyes bent, and she smiled at Cheng Yan defenselessly.
Seeing this, Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, stepped forward, gently held Lu Yunxi's shoulders, and patted them twice, "It's rare that you don't care about those people's eyes." In the past, they also had a lot of trouble in private because of the woman's entry into the Xiangyuan Building. However, nowadays, I often walk around with Miss Li'er, but no one says anything. ”
After finishing speaking, I really saw the little guy in Xiangyuan Building walking up quickly and turned sideways. Hunched his waist and made a gesture of invitation to Cheng Yan and Lu Yunxi, "The county lord is here." Miss Li Er has already ordered someone to prepare a drink and wait for you. Please come inside. ”
Cheng Yan raised her chin, only hummed indifferently, and walked towards the building with the little guy.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi also hurriedly followed behind the county lord, tidied up the corners of his clothes, and moved forward together.
Xiangyuan Building looks very simple on the outside, but the layout inside is unique.
Just the sixteen-foot copper lamp at the top of the hall is something that the restaurant next to it has never seen in a few lifetimes.
"This copper lamp?" Lu Yunxi looked up, couldn't help but let out a burst of admiration in his heart, and asked the little guy next to him in a low voice, "Your boss is a tasteful person!"
The young lady laughed. The little maid bowed, only raised his eyelids, and glanced at Cheng Yan who was walking in front a few times, "These sixteen bronze lamps were sent by the county lord in the face of Miss Li'er." Our boss is just a little bit of Miss Li'er's brilliance. ”
"Sent by the county lord?"
Lu Yunxi raised her head, and then stared at Cheng Yan, but there was a little more admiration in her eyes.
If it was given by a man, it would be fine.
But Cheng Yan is a woman, but she dares to give Li Er such a valuable object, not only is she not afraid of criticism in the capital, but she also doesn't care what others think of her.
Investing a lot of money like this, but just to win the courage of a beautiful smile, ordinary men may not dare to do it, but Cheng Yan dares!
With such a heart, how can people not admire it in their hearts?
Seeing that Lu Yunxi had been staring at Cheng Yan's back, the little guy coughed softly twice, interrupting Lu Yunxi's reverie, and continued, "The county lord is not an ordinary woman. The friendship between her and our Li'er girl is naturally not comparable to that between ordinary boudoir daughters. ”
Hearing that the little guy seemed to have something to say, Lu Yunxi wanted to ask, but saw that Li Er had already come down from the second floor.
She had changed into an emerald green dress, with a light blue gown on the outside, and the handkerchief she was carrying was a satin handkerchief embroidered with Shu brocade.
After all, Li Er has reached her own realm, the shyness and embarrassment on her face have all dissipated, and the corners of her mouth are raised, with an atmospheric smile.
She walked to the two of them, first cast a light smile at Cheng Yan, then poked her head out and curtsied to Lu Yunxi, "Two upstairs, please, I have prepared high-quality candied fruit and tea, and the wine is the county lord's favorite Huzhou light brew." ”
Cheng Yan said a few words and walked upstairs.
After only taking a few steps, he heard a low muffled snort from downstairs, "The county lord and a woman have such a big pomp when they arrive at this Xiangyuan Building, even the Oiran has to be monopolized." But I don't know if the county lord has the ability to make Oiran happy?"
Hearing this, although the people around him didn't dare to laugh openly, there were also bursts of whispering laughter.
Lu Yunxi followed the voice, but saw a noble son who followed the two of them into the Xiangyuan Building standing by the door, staring at Cheng Yan, what he said was exactly what he said.
The man was followed by four or five men, all of whom were dressed in brocade and looked extraordinary.
Lu Yunxi didn't know this person, so she looked over her head in confusion and looked at Cheng Yan.
However, although Cheng Yan was very calm on her face, the white fan had already closed, drooping the corners of her lips, staring coldly at the son.
"Hey, isn't this the son of the Xu family. But I haven't seen you for a while. The bustard on one side had already greeted him, wanting to make a round, "Why did you have to come here today? I will order someone to arrange a place for you." ”
didn't think about it, but Xu Gongzi didn't look at the bustard, snorted, went straight forward, and said to Li Er as he walked, "Miss Li Er, I want you to accompany me today." ”
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull Li Er to his side.
Seeing this, Lu Yunxi stepped forward, blocked between the two, and stared at Xu Gongzi, "Today, Miss Li'er wants to entertain the county lord, and she has already prepared tea, but I am afraid that I have no intention of greeting Gongzi." ”
Xu Gongzi didn't expect that someone would stop him, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his eyebrows, looked Lu Yunxi up and down, and snorted, "Where did you come from?
Li Er hurriedly grabbed the corner of Lu Yunxi's clothes, raised her head, looked at her twice, shook her head slightly, pulled her back twice, and said to Xu Gongzi, "Childe, Li Er does have a guest today." Another day, Li Er will definitely accompany her son to have a good drink. ”
After speaking, she pulled Lu Yunxi and was about to go upstairs.
Xu Gongzi was unrelenting, stepped forward a few steps, and stopped the two of them from going, "Miss Li'er, the so-called benefactor, only if you have kindness, you can be considered a guest." You can think clearly, the county lord is a woman, even if she wants to be kind to you, she is powerless. Why don't you follow me, I'll make you feel comfortable, how about it?"
