Chapter 92: The Teahouse Turmoil (1)
The streets are lined with shops and lined with small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the streets, stretching east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city.
"Look, there's a teahouse in front of you that should be pretty good, let's go take a look." Nangong Keqing pointed to the "Pin Ming Xuan" not far away and said.
"Tea Pavilion" is the largest tea house in King's Landing, and the furnishings inside are full of cultural atmosphere, simple and elegant; On the counter hangs a small wooden sign labeled with various kinds of famous teas such as dragon well and oolong.
Nangong Keqing and the others were introduced into a good private room, and they could just look out the window to see the river.
Nangong Keqing was not only overjoyed, if she could also find a shop like this to do hot pot business, it would be a good feeling!
"Boss, bring up the best food and tea in your store." Nangong Keqing said with the appearance of a rich child.
The shopkeeper put the rag on his shoulder, "Okay! A few guest officers waited. ”
"Chongyang, you look for a way, see if you can find some bigger shops on this street, preferably like this teahouse with a view of the river."
Chongyang understood Nangong Keqing's plan and agreed very seriously.
Soon, the table was filled with all kinds of snacks and refreshments.
A few people were tasting when they suddenly heard a commotion and noise outside......
Nangong Keqing asked Chongyang to open the curtain of the door, and saw a young woman in a yellow shirt who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and said viciously, "You bumped into Miss Ben, just say I'm sorry?" Do you have eyes that go up to the top of your head? ”
A round goose egg face, with a complexion better than snow, and picturesque eyebrows, should have been a beautiful woman, but her eyes were round with anger, her face was gloomy, and her words were too unreasonable to let people be, ruining her original beautiful face.
The scolded girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a green shirt, smiling like a flower, and her voice was soft and crisp, "Miss, I have already apologized to you, what do you want?" ”
The woman in yellow looked at the maid beside her, and with a look, the maid understood, "Our young lady's clothes are very valuable, and your pot of tea has all crashed into my young lady, so the first loss is money; Second, kneel down for our young lady, even if you have apologized to our young lady. ”
The woman in the green shirt laughed mockingly, her expression was innocent, coquettish and naughty, "Miss, my pot of tea has all been spilled on the shopkeeper's body, but it just splashed a little bit on your dress, it's okay to lose money, after all, I hit someone and affected you, it's me who is wrong, but don't even think about kneeling." ”
"You...... There are mothers who are not taught by mothers, and they are so arrogant when they hit people, it is simply unreasonable. The woman in the yellow shirt said angrily.
Hearing this, the woman in the green shirt was so angry that her cheeks flushed, she could be scolded, but when it affected her family, she would never spare the other party.
"I heard that the eldest lady is a famous talented woman in Kyoto, and she has been cultivated by the Imperial Academy, so it turns out that this is nothing more than that. A woman, or a talented woman, speaks so harshly, unforgiving, and has a bullying face, is this how the royal family taught you? Oh! I know, the royal can't teach you like this, don't lose the royal face, if I were you, quickly find a hole in the ground and get in, and dare to be embarrassed here? ”
Nangong Keqing heard the witty words of the woman in the green shirt, so she looked at her a few more times, although she was young, her body was full of vitality and liveliness, and a few words won her heart.
The woman in the yellow shirt trembled all over the attack by this attack, her chest rose and fell, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and her eyes were wide with anger, "You are looking for a ...... to fight" said, raising her right hand to hit it.
Nangong Keqing intercepted it, "Speak a word of etiquette in everything, you can't say it, but you can get started, besides, it's ......"
Nangong Keqing paused, lowered his voice and said, "Besides, so many people are watching, if it is spread out, do you want your reputation?" ”
The woman in the yellow shirt was shocked, resentful in her heart, and desperately glanced at the woman in the green shirt, and walked away unwillingly.
The woman in the green shirt raised a bright smile and gave a slight salute, "The little woman thanks this son for saving her." ”
Nangong Keqing held the folding fan in her hand, nodded slightly, and was polite, "It's a trivial matter." Then he said in a surprising voice: "I wonder if this young lady is willing to go to the private room to talk?" ”
The woman in the green shirt was a little stunned, could it be that this person is a disciple? Relying on saving himself, he gave birth to a non-dividing thought?
Probably not, it seems that this person is in the wind, and he shows a humble gentleman in his gestures, not like a bad guy with bad intentions!
Nangong Keqing didn't know, after only a moment of effort, the woman in the green shirt analyzed Nangong Keqing, and if she knew the evaluation of her by the woman in the green shirt, she didn't know how to feel.
"Miss, don't mind, my son is new to Beijing, and I want to know more about the customs of Beijing." Nangong Keqing explained.
"I see." The woman in the green shirt was relieved.
As soon as the two of them took a step, they heard a deep voice in the distance, "Ling'er." ”
The woman in the green shirt looked up and saw that it was the eldest prince.
The woman in the green shirt ran over in a rage and shouted crisply: "The eldest prince, where is my brother?" As he spoke, he bowed slightly, and began to look around.
This girl is still so afraid of his brother, she doesn't forget to ask wherever she goes, "In the back, I'll be there soon." ”
The eldest prince shook his head helplessly, these two brothers and sisters are really a pair of living treasures, and every day is like hiding and seeking.
"It's over, it's over, my brother is going to miss me to death, I have to leave quickly." The woman in the green shirt picked up her skirt in a panic and was about to run.
The eldest prince teased: "It's too late......"
As soon as the woman in the green shirt ran to the staircase, she was discovered, "Stinky girl, you ran out again?" The man reproached with a serious face.
The next moment, the surprise on the face of the woman in the green shirt turned to coquettishness, and she said coquettishly: "Hehe...... Brother, people want to come out and breathe! You can't bear to let your sister get sick! As he spoke, he grabbed his brother's arm and shook it back and forth.
The man helplessly scratched his sister's nose and scolded: "I really can't help you, say, did you get into trouble just now?"
The woman in the green shirt immediately changed her face again, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, how can I have, it's clear that your sister was bullied!" ”
"Who can bully you? It's good that you don't bully others. "He knows his sister too well, she is a troublemaker who can't stay at home.
The out-of-touch temperament doesn't know how many girls Master Hong has, and he has the character of a boy, and he doesn't have the appearance of a lady at all.
The woman in the green shirt coquettishly shook her brother's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, did you say that about your sister?" Don't believe me, you ask...... Well! That son, and that son saved your sister in time. As he spoke, he pointed to Nangong Keqing with one hand.
While speaking, the woman in the green shirt had already pulled her brother to Nangong Keqing.
Nangong Keqing hugged her fists and saluted, and said wittily: "That's true, this son is wrong to blame Sister Ling." ”
"Look!" The woman in the green shirt pouted triumphantly.
The brother of the green-shirted woman respectfully replied: "This son, the little sister is naughty, thank you for the rescue, I don't know...... How to call it? ”
Nangong Keqing smiled back faintly, "It's okay, my surname is Tao Mingyao, and I don't know the name of Brother Taizun." ”
It's better not to expose your name early in Dashun to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
After all, her current identity is very embarrassing, she has not officially sent to other countries, she is just a personal maid of the prince, so it is better not to make a noise.
"Say it coldly, little sister Ling'er."
At this time, the eldest prince came over and smiled, "Since you are so fateful, Brother Peach saved the general's daughter, you might as well sit down together and thank this Peach Prince." ”
"That's it, brother, you have to thank people. By the way, I heard Mr. Tao say that he first came to Dashun to understand the customs of Dashun, isn't this right? Whatever you want to know, they'll tell you. Leng Ling'er smiled cutely.
Nangong Keqing's attitude is humble: "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it?" ”
Leng Yan said gratefully: "No, Peach Gongzi saved his little sister, he is Leng Mou's benefactor, naturally he should thank him, Peach Gongzi doesn't have to postpone it, let's go together!" ”
Nangong Keqing hesitated for a moment and clenched her fists, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Several people came to the private room to sit down, and said coldly: "This is the eldest prince." Just in the corridor there are many people talking and there are no introductions to you, don't be surprised. ”
Nangong Keqing saw that his background was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he was still a prince, no wonder he had a noble temperament, and she bumped into the prince when she went out, and I don't know if her luck was too good.
Nangong Keqing hurriedly stood up, looked calm, bowed deeply, and said, "The grass people have seen the eldest prince. ”
Nangong Keqing was tired of this kind of feudal etiquette of kneeling when she saw someone, and with a modern education, she really didn't want to bend her knees, so she pretended not to understand, and just bowed deeply.
"You don't have to be so formal, this is not in the palace, there are not so many complicated rituals, sit down!" The eldest prince said indifferently.
Nangong Keqing sat back in place, and her impression of this prince was three points better, she didn't stick to etiquette, she didn't have a prince's shelf, and it looked relatively easy to approach.
"Listening to the accent, you are a foreigner, I don't know who Peach Boy is? Is it to do business in Dashun or pass through here? Leng Yan asked respectfully.
Nangong Keqing took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Under is the Liuli people, is an authentic businessman, our master and servant came to your land not long ago, this way, let the next appreciate Dashun is so prosperous, of course, in the next is to do business, just a newcomer, want to rent a better shop, there is really no way." ”
"I see. You've met a nobleman. Leng Yan pretended to be mysterious, and his eyes did not forget to glance at the eldest prince.
Nangong Keqing's eyes lit up, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
The eldest prince asked silently and unhurriedly: "I don't know what kind of shop Mr. Tao wants and what kind of business to do?" ”
Nangong Keqing looked at the eldest prince and Qingqing, she had a feeling that this eldest prince might have a way, "If you go back to the eldest prince, you will weigh it down, at least three large shops, two floors above and below, and it is best to have a ...... of Wangjiang."
