The crowd got out of the carriage one by one.

Ding Xianglou suddenly appeared in front of him.

It is a three-storey wooden building with a façade about the size of four shops. The three words of Dingxianglou on the plaque are gilded and shining with golden light. The guests come and go endlessly, and it is very lively.

There were a few welcoming guys at the door, dressed cleanly, with a warm and attentive smile. One of them had already greeted him with a smile: "A few guest officers are going to eat!" Inside please! ”

This guy greeted him with kindness, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Dingxianglou is very famous, and occasionally people bring their families to eat. However, the group in front of them, except for a beautiful and amazing teenager, turned out to be all women. Although they are all wearing hats and can't see their faces clearly, they can also see that two of them are the daughters of the boudoir in the boudoir

In such a situation, the older Jiang is naturally the most suitable one to come forward.

"Is there a private room in there?" Jiang asked with a smile.

The guy replied with some embarrassment: "I'm really sorry. The private rooms on the second and third floors are already full. Now there are only two empty spaces in the hall on the first floor. ”

Jiang Shi frowned. It was indecent for them to sit in the hall and eat. What's more, as long as you sit down to eat, you have to take off your hat!

"In that case, let's change the restaurant"

"Sister-in-law, wait first." Ling Jingyan hurriedly interrupted the Jiang family, and looked at the guy again: "You didn't tell the truth just now, did you!" Even if there is no private room on the second floor, there must be one on the third floor. Every day, you will leave a few private rooms with the best view of the street, in case you can come at any time. These private rooms are named after Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, can there be anyone now? ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "I didn't expect this girl to know that Meilan Zhuju has four private rooms, and it turns out that she is a regular customer of our Dingxiang Building." The small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai. Surprise the distinguished guest. Please don't worry about it! ”

Jiang Shi glanced at Ling Jingyan with some surprise, and joked with a smile: "Ah Yan, when did you become a regular customer of Ding Xianglou?" How did I not know? ”

This sister-in-law is playful and lively, and she knows it. However, I stay in the boudoir on weekdays, and there are not many opportunities to go out. How did you come to Dingxiang Building?

Ling Jingyan was a little weak-hearted by the Jiang family, and she didn't explain much. He said vaguely: "I've been here once or twice in the past." ”

Seemingly. It was in these "one or two times" that I met His Royal Highness King Yan

Ling Jingshu thought secretly in her heart, and smiled to relieve Ling Jingyan: "Sister-in-law." Since we are here, we have to taste the dishes of this Dingxianglou in person, so that we will not come in vain. There are people coming and going at this door, so let's go in and talk again! ”

Jiang nodded.

Ling Jingyan was secretly happy in her heart. I have to pretend to be indifferent on my face, and I have to hold it very hard

Ling Jingshu and the others followed the men into the Dingxiang Building.

The group of women is really eye-catching. Even if it covers his face, it still attracts a lot of attention.

Jiang's is like a man's back, but he has come, and now it is too late to regret it. It's better to go up to the private room on the third floor quickly.

Pity. Things do not turn out the way you want.

The guy whispered a few words to the shopkeeper on the first floor, and the shopkeeper frowned invisibly, and then stepped forward to apologize: "Guests." I'm sorry. Three of the four best private rooms in the shop have customers. There is only one room left."

"Since there's another one, we're going to want that one." Ling Jingyan snatched the conversation without saying anything.

The shopkeeper's face was embarrassed: "Girl, don't be impatient, please listen to me finish speaking." The remaining private room was set by His Royal Highness King Yan for a long time, and he never received other guests. Please forgive me! ”

Sure enough, it's King Yan!

Ling Jingshu verified the guess in her heart, but there was not much joy in her heart.

When Ling Jingyan heard the words of His Royal Highness King Yan, the face of an arrogant and handsome young man quickly flashed in her mind, and her pretty face suddenly turned crimson.

Fortunately, there was a light veil covering his face at this time, otherwise he would not have been able to hide the careful Jiang and the intelligent and keen Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingyan, who didn't know that she had already exposed her feet, asked in a tone with a hint of hope, "Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan will also come today?" ”

"Not really." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yan only comes two or three times a month. The time is uncertain, it all depends on the mood of His Highness. His Royal Highness King Yan just came a few days ago, and he probably won't come again in the near future. However, since this private room was set by His Royal Highness King Yan, it was really inconvenient to let other guests in. Thank you, please do a lot of it. ”

King Yan won't be here today!

Ling Jingyan felt a deep disappointment in her heart.

She tried her best to persuade her mother to agree to her trip, and today she dressed up carefully, and specially came to Dingxiang Building, hoping to have a beautiful "unexpected encounter".

Now it seems that this qiē was in vain

The more Ling Jingyan thought about it, the more depressed she became, and she hung her head and didn't say a word

At this time, Jiang also saw that something was wrong with Ling Jingyan. It's just that it's inconvenient to ask in detail at this time, and I have to help cover up a few points.

Jiang Shi cleared his throat and said, "Since the shopkeeper said so, we shouldn't have embarrassed you. But a few of us deliberately ran far and came here. Now that there is a private room to spare, why should the shopkeeper turn us away? ”

"The shopkeeper also said that His Royal Highness King Yan has just been here for a short time, and he will not come again in the near future. We just had a meal and left, and it didn't take much time at all. As long as the shopkeeper doesn't say it, how can His Royal Highness King Yan know. ”

"To show our sincerity, how about we pay three times as much money as we spend in this private room?"

I don't know if it was Chiang's clever tongue that worked, or if the three times the amount of silver had an effect.

The shopkeeper hesitated slightly, and finally responded.

The guy led the group up to the third floor, stopped in front of the private room marked with Tingzhu, and pushed the door of the private room with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

Ling Jingshu walked forward, swept her gaze, and nodded secretly.

The private rooms are spacious and clean, and they are spotless.

On the wall hangs a landscape painting splashed with ink. I don't know which famous artist wrote it, which set off the elegance of the private room.

A sturdy rosewood round table can seat twelve people.

There is also a pot of peonies in full bloom next to the round table, which is delicate and fragrant.

Jiang Shi was also quite satisfied with the private room, and said to Ling Jingyan with a smile: "It looks really good, and it is not in vain that we have spent so much thought and money today." ”

Ling Jingyan was a little flustered when she saw it, and squeezed out a smile and said, "I'll try a few of the most famous dishes here later, I'm sure you're satisfied, and I won't come here in vain." ”

As he was talking, there was a strange movement outside the door
