"I heard that the chef of the restaurant was the imperial chef who retired from the palace in the early years, and yesterday's brine and tofu made the population have a lingering fragrance!" Listening to the admiration of the apricot yellow lady, several other noble girls had ripples in their hearts. "The imperial chef in the palace, needless to say, this skill is needless to say. I would like to see how luxurious the upper room of this Feifeng Tower can be. ”
"But we are the daughters of the boudoir, where is the reason to show up on the street?" A noblewoman dressed in purple hesitated. The noble girl in apricot yellow clothes said: "What's so difficult about this, that Feifeng Building only accepts female guests, and there is no room in this building except for the upper room." There are two guards guarding each upper room! I went with my aunts yesterday. They played the afternoon horse hanging. The cards are all made of jade, and they are very warm to the touch. ”
Hearing what the noble girl in apricot yellow clothes said, everyone couldn't help but take action. The lady in pink said, "Let's go together, the price is not so expensive, and if we go together, my mother will definitely agree." The girls took their attention, and sent their maids home to report.
In the afternoon, these three or five noble ladies set off from the Prime Minister's Mansion together, led by the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and walked towards Feifeng Tower. The women's carriage and horses stopped at the gate of Feifeng Tower, and the noble girl in apricot yellow clothes helped the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion to get out of the carriage: "Third Miss, the Penglai House on the other side seems to be the property of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
The third lady frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "But my Penglai House is not as good as the Feifeng Building you said." When the apricot yellow lady heard this, her face immediately changed, and she hurriedly lowered her head and apologized: "Third Miss, I lost my words, please don't blame Third Miss." The third lady shook her head casually: "I didn't mean that." Let's go inside. ”
As soon as you enter the door, there is the warm hospitality of the shopkeeper, not used in other restaurants, the shopkeeper and the guys of the Feifeng Building, all of them are women. The third lady glanced at the doors of the upper rooms, only to find that the guards were all women. Up and down the restaurant, there was not a single man. It would be strange if this could still be messy. Thinking of this, the third lady settled down a lot. The female shopkeeper eagerly turned over the room card and asked a few noble ladies to choose.
Everyone has an eye. They all pushed the room cards in front of the third lady. The third lady saw the three words of Peony House at a glance, but there was no room card in this upper room, she pointed to Peony House and asked, "What about this room?" The female shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged: "This room has been set by the Duchess of the Kingdom, Miss, you can take a look at other rooms." ”
"What do you say? Are all the Duchess here? The third lady's eyes widened in disbelief, but the female shopkeeper nodded with an unchanged smile. Several of the nobles behind her were a little surprised. I thought it had just opened. Such a restaurant should be unattended, who knows that someone has already decided.
The third lady reluctantly let go of the surprise in her heart, and continued to look at the house cards, only to find that there were only two room cards left on the first floor. And the second floor also has only five room cards. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "There are so many guests coming to the restaurant today?" The female shopkeeper smiled slightly: "Miss doesn't know yet, there is Liu Xiangru's drama in the building today." ”
It turned out that in the Feifeng Building, only the outer side was built on the upper room, and in the center of the position, Sheng Xue ordered someone to build a nine-story stage. The upper rooms on each floor have a window opening inward.
People in the upper room can listen to the play through the window. Today, Feifenglou invited Liu Xiangru, the first strange woman in Shengjing's drama. Today, she'll talk about a play on the first floor. Say two scenes on the second floor. Therefore, there are not a few noble ladies who came to the room to listen to the play today.
The female shopkeeper explained. The eyes of all the women lit up. That's Liu Xiangru, only during the Chinese New Year will she go in and out of the homes of dignitaries to talk about plays, why is she willing to come to Feifenglou to talk about dramas on this ordinary day today? It's so hard. At that moment, all the women looked forward to it.
But after another stick of incense, Liu Xiangru will go to the second floor to talk about the play. If a few young ladies chartered the upper room on the lower floor, they would not be able to hear it. The words of the female shopkeeper made the nobles present a little discouraged. The third lady gritted her teeth and reached out to take off the room card of the Lane Moon Pavilion on the second floor: "Since this is the case, then let's go to the second floor!" ”
Shopkeeper Li rushed to the orchid garden, and Sheng Xue saw that he was in the study, practicing calligraphy with his father. Leng Buding Ahua knocked on the door and came in: "Miss, Shopkeeper Li is here again!" ”
Sheng Xue didn't move, and settled the last stroke. Sheng Yuanlian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Aman's handwriting is becoming more and more similar to your mother. Sheng Xue saw that her heart moved, and she put down the sheep's hair: "Aman's writing is not as good as his mother's." Father. Ah Man went out first if he had something. Sheng Yuanlian nodded, his eyes full of loneliness.
When he arrived at the main hall, when Shopkeeper Li saw Sheng Xue coming in, he said happily: "Congratulations, Miss!" Miss is really like a god, it's only been three days, and Feifeng Lou has already earned 10,000 taels! Sheng Xuejian's face was pale: "I have invested so much." How can you do it if you don't get 10,000 taels. Shopkeeper Li, why are you so happy? ”
Although Miss Fifth has never lost money in business, it is not surprising that she can make such a big profit. What surprised Shopkeeper Li even more was that those noble ladies and ladies let go of their hesitation so easily and came to Feifeng Tower, he originally thought that he would have to wait until Feifeng Tower was enough to gain their trust. These ladies and ladies don't want to show their faces.
"It's not unusual, I was supposed to be a woman's business. I want to make Feifeng Tower the only place for the ladies and ladies of Shengjing to go out and have fun. I want these people to be used by me obediently. Sheng Xuejian's eyes flashed with a meaningful light. Shopkeeper Li continued: "Today, even the Duchess of the Kingdom and the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion are here! ”
"This is not unusual, with Liu Xiangru sitting in Feifeng Tower, I am not afraid that they will not come. What's more, I still have a lot of big gifts waiting for them. Sheng Xuejian's words were full of confidence. As for why Liu Xiangru can be moved? In fact, it's not just Liu Xiangru, the four strange women of Shengjing were all invited by Sheng Xuejian. Liu Xiangru who talks about opera, Liu Rumei who sings, Zhao Xueqing who plays the piano, and Luo Qingye who plays calligraphy and painting, these four people will only perform in Feifeng Tower from now on.
As for why, these four people are tempted, it is because Sheng Xuejian gave each of them a profit from Feifenglou's wine. Being your own boss and going out to sing are two different things. Sheng Xuejian also told the four of them that whoever worked hardest would get 20% that month, so who would not be impressed.
When those dignitaries found out that these four strange women would no longer perform for them, they longed for this Feifeng Tower a lot. (To be continued.) )
