Chapter 50: The Uninvited Guest
As soon as Qu Nian heard this, he no longer argued that he was not opening a Qinglou, otherwise it would be too dangerous, after all, what was standing in front of him was a real rich woman, and her family was rich and rich, if he copied him exactly the same, he would not be able to bear it. At this time, he said: "Yes, yes, after all, the big shopkeeper is a girl, or a beautiful girl, Kaiqinglou affects the reputation of the big shopkeeper too much, and this kind of thing will be handed over to lewd men like us!"
Cicada Xi smiled: "Don't worry, I won't rob your business, don't smear your face!"
Qu Nian patted his chest and said: "After all, I was scared, and now my liver is still fluttering, and I am scared to death!"
Yushu on the side was also dressed as a woman, and said with a smile: "You are so timid, how dare you open such a big store?
Qu Nian smiled: "I'm afraid that a rich woman like you will find fault with me, and I'm not afraid of others!"
Cicada Xi said: "What? Is the shopkeeper Qin going to let us stand outside the door all the time? Are you afraid that I will go in and steal the art? Don't you dare to let us in?"
Qu Nian patted his thigh and said, "Look at what I did, please inside the big shopkeeper, I have prepared a sumptuous banquet!"
Cicada Xi was stunned: "Banquet?"
Qu Nian said: "That's right! The big shopkeeper is courteous, and there must be a banquet to eat with the ceremony! This is the rule!"
Cicada Xi smiled: "Then there must be a lot of tables, right?"
Qu Nian smiled, put up a finger, and said: "Don't hide it from the big shopkeeper, just set up a table, if the big shopkeeper doesn't come, I don't have to set a table!"
Cicada Xi was stunned: "You won't tell me, just me will do the salute alone, right?"
Qu Nian clapped his hands and said: "The big shopkeeper is really shrewd, in a word, there is nothing wrong with guessing, although the world is big, there are all living beings, but you are alone, do you say that you are angry?"
Cicada Xi was stunned: "Don't you have any friends?"
Qu Nian said with a smile: "Didn't the big shopkeeper just say? Where is it important for friends to make money?"
Cicada Xi said: "In other words, I eat a table of banquets alone?"
Qu Nian said: "Aren't there six of you? Just put together a table, after all, you have so many gifts, you also want to eat a little back!"
Cicada Xi smiled: "That's not necessary, let's save you some money, we've already eaten! Don't you have a teahouse here? Let's just go in and have a cup of tea!"
Qu Nian smiled: "Then how embarrassing is this?" After speaking, he turned his head and shouted: "Lao Wangโโ"
Wang Xide stood behind him and hurriedly said, "Childe, I'm here!"
Qu Nian said: "Did you hear it, that table of wine and food was quickly sold cheaply! Also, take the big shopkeeper up to drink tea first, and you must make the best tea!"
Wang Xide responded, then looked at Cicada Xi and said, "The big shopkeeper, please come with me!"
Cicada Xi led a few people into the lobby, there were two rows of girls standing inside, welcoming her, as soon as one of her feet stepped into the threshold, those girls bent down and said in unison: "Welcome!"
Cicada Xi was startled, although she is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, but when she saw this formation, she was a little nervous, but she still couldn't help but look at these warblers Yanyan, and sighed in her heart, no wonder the business of this Qinglou is so good, these girls look more delicate than the other, like two rows of blooming peonies, the country is fragrant, there is no ugly, not a little ugly. And the decoration here is luxurious, the carpet is soft, if those men come, there must be a kind of bee flying into the flowers, lingering.
Wang Xide led them up to the second floor, and a row of rooms on the south side has now been converted into a teahouse, which is also separated one by one, some have doors, some have no doors, and those without doors hang a row of beaded curtains.
Cicada Xi picked a room without a door, the room is not big, and the furnishings are very simple, with a square table in the middle and wooden chairs around it. There is also a long wooden table in the corner by the window, on which there are many tea utensils, including stoves, purple clay pots, and porcelain cups, which must be a special place for making tea.
Cicada Xi and Yushu walked in and sat down at the table, while the other four men stood outside the door without entering the house.
At this time, Wang Xide specially called a tea girl over, walked to the long table inside, began to arrange the tea sets, and began to make tea for them.
Wang Xide specially explained to the tea girl that she wanted to make the best tea, and then asked Cicada Xi if she wanted to find a geisha to come over and play a little twist to relieve her boredom?
Cicada Xi said no. ๏ผ
Wang Xide knew that she was a woman, so she didn't insist, after all, they didn't have a male trick here. So he told Cicada Xi that he could call him if he had something, after all, he had to go down to be busy when it opened today.
Cicada Xi nodded.
After all, it is a high-end tea house, and the process of boiling tea is very cumbersome.
Cicada Xi took a sip of the teacup and said, "It seems that this prince of Qin Guo still has a bit of a conscience, and it is indeed good tea!"
Yu Shu smiled and said, "No matter how good the tea is, it's not worth 10,000 taels?"
Cicada Xi glanced at her and said with a smile: "Do you really expect to drink back the 10,000 taels?"
Yu Shu said: "You can come and drink every day! I feel that this environment is really good, very feeling!"
Cicada Xi said: "The prince of Qin is so stingy, do you want him to vomit blood?"
Yu Shu pursed his lips and said, "It's really stingy, if we don't eat the banquet at that table, he will immediately let people sell it cheaply, so can't we wait for us to leave before selling?"
Cicada Xi stood up, walked to the door, opened the bead curtain and took a look, and saw that the guests were up and down, and the business was really good, so he said: "I really can't understand, how can these men be willing to spend so much money?"
Yu Shu also walked over, and said mysteriously: "I heard that the environment inside is very good, and there is a petal mandarin duck bath, I heard that other Qinglou does not have this kind of routine, those men like it!"
Cicada Xi's face turned red and said, "What does the dead girl know?"
Yu Shu grinned and said, "Miss, you don't really plan to open a green house like this, do you?"
Cicada Xi put down the bead curtain and said, "I want to really open a family, you didn't look at Qin Gongzi's face, cutting off people's money, like killing his parents, it is estimated that he really has to fight with me!"
Yu Shu smiled and said, "Miss is still afraid that he won't succeed?"
Cicada Xi smiled: "It's not something I'm afraid of, I'm really not interested in Qinglou, I'm embarrassed to go out to meet people now!"
Yu Shu said, "Then let's go?"
Cicada Xi said: "What's the hurry? There must be a beginning and an end, drink a pot of tea before leaving!"
Yushu smiled, and the two of them returned to the table and sat down.
In the next room next to them, there was a young man sitting at this time, looking young, gentle, and talented, holding a teacup in his hand, although there was tea in the cup, he didn't drink it, he stared at the cup tightly, and played with it. Behind him, stood an old slave with gray hair and a kind face, always bent over with a shallow smile.
Originally, there was a tea girl in their room who made tea for them, but now that the tea was boiled, the girl was driven away by them, and this young man did not like to have miscellaneous people around him, and he felt uncomfortable.
At this time, the old slave's waist bent deeper, almost leaning over the young man's ear, and laughed quietly: "Your Majesty, is the tea not the right appetite?"
If outsiders hear the title of this old slave, they will definitely drop their eyes in shock, because even the king of the seven great powers is not qualified to be called "Your Majesty".
This person is the co-master of the world, Zhou Boyi, the son of the Zhou family.
And that old slave is his personal eunuch Wei Gonggong. Father-in-law Wei changed his appearance, because there were many people in the Qi Kingdom who had seen him, but Zhou Boyi did not change his appearance, because the entire Qi Kingdom, that is, the King of Qi had seen him alone, or when he ascended the throne, it is estimated that the King of Qi did not dare to take a closer look at it at that time, so there were almost no people who knew him.
Zhou Boyi still turned the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "It's not that I don't have a bad appetite, but I don't have an appetite at all." I said that we have been here for a few days, but we haven't even seen Princess Changming's face, when will I get what I want?"
Father-in-law Wei also looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Changming is the princess of Qi after all, and she usually lives in the palace, even if she comes out, we may not have a chance to do it?"
Zhou Boyi said: "I was also bored in the palace, so I wanted to come out to see the world, but I didn't know that the Qi country was already so strong, and even a prostitute cost a hundred taels of silver, which scared me, our king is the most expensive It seems that it is only a dozen or twenty taels, right?"
Wei Gong said fairly: "This is an exception, I heard that Qin Guo's proton opened it here, and he may not expect the business to last long, the sky-high asking price, and the Qinglou of other people's houses here is not expensive, it is similar to the king!"
Zhou Boyi said: "The young man in white clothes who just stood at the door should be the proton of the Qin State, right?"
Grandpa Wei nodded and said, "It should be!"
Zhou Boyi looked up and looked around, and said: "This store is indeed different, since Qin Guo's proton dares to open this price, and the business is so good, it means that it is not a sky-high asking price, and he still has a sense of proportion in his heart." One proton can create such a big industry in a foreign country, it seems that this Qin country proton is not simple!"
Wei Gong said fairly: "Your Majesty has promoted him, but he is just a chess piece abandoned by the Qin State!"
Zhou Boyi hesitated: "But I feel that this Qin Proton is a very capable person, such a big Qinglou is having a good time, why should Qin Guo abandon him?"
Wei Gong said fairly: "I heard that it is a waste material, and the King of Qin does not want to see it!"
Zhou Boyi was stunned: "Is it waste?"
Father-in-law Wei thought for a while and said, "It's not useless to look at it, what the specific reason is, the old slave doesn't know!"
The tea in Zhou Boyi's hand was played with by him for most of the day, and finally took a sip and said, "This Qin country is the most unpredictable!"
Father-in-law Wei nodded and said, "The Qin State is the most ambitious!"
Zhou Boyi said: "Qi Guo is no better!"
Grandpa Wei whispered, "I feel that the Qin State already knows this secret!"
