Chapter XXIV
"Xiao Chen, is the business of your restaurant so good every day?"
When I came to the 'Baiwei Building', I saw that the seats on the first floor were already full of customers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Not really, there have been more people in the past two days this month, and I don't know why." Xiao Chen shook his head and replied to Ye Qiu.
"So you don't know, the day after tomorrow is the Qixi Festival," the woman who came with Xiao Chen came over and said, "I heard that the clouds of Baihualou are going to go boating on the West Lake on the night of this year's Qixi Festival, and there are no less than thousands of students and scholars who have come here in the past two days." ”
On the way here, Xiao Chen introduced Ye Qiu to her, she is Xiao Yao's best friend, called Qin Wen, is the granddaughter of Qin Zhao, a scholar of the previous dynasty, after the new emperor ascended the throne, Qin Zhao was given a holy decree because of his different political views with the new emperor, Qin Zhao also felt that he was old, so he left Bianjing and came to Hangzhou City with his family to settle down.
"Isn't it? Isn't it just a boat, as for it? Ye Qiu asked suspiciously.
"Of course, she alone will not be so sensational, because there is another person who wants to compete with her on that day."
"Who is so powerful? The cloud sleeve dance is already famous all over the world, and someone wants to step on her head at this time? That person is either stupid, or he can do it with real energy! Ye Qiu said with some surprise, Yun Ruyan is the signboard of 'Baihualou', since his debut at the age of thirteen, and in the next three years, he got the 'Oiran' of Hangzhou City for three consecutive years, and then I don't know why, no longer running for Oiran, 'Baihualou' has launched another sister Yun Ruyue with her compatriots, so in the past few years, the Oiran of Hangzhou City Qinglou has been occupied by their sisters in turn.
Yun Ruyan looks stunning, talented and talented, is the second talented woman in Hangzhou, in the past won the name of "Oiran", and did not see her accompany the guests, only occasionally danced on stage on a cloud sleeve dance, and then drifted away, so that how many romantic talents dreamed of nights, unable to sleep peacefully, and the boss of "Baihualou" obviously wanted to train her into a "big star", it is said that she is still a virgin! Her first night had been fried to millions of taels of silver, and she didn't see Yun Ruyan come out to express her attitude.
Yun Ruyue is a little different from her sister, after her debut, she began to contact with guests, strangely, she just accompanied the guests to drink, sing a small tune, at most dance, most of the time she still talked about poetry and lyrics with those so-called romantic talents, very literary and artistic.
"Sister Wen, do you know which girl wants to compete with her?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Hmph, you men, you are all obscene billets, thinking about those fox charms every day!" Xiao Yao twisted Xiao Chen's ears and scolded.
Xiao Chen bared his teeth in pain, pointed at Ye Qiu with an innocent face and said, "I asked for him......"
"Of course it's Tianxiangyuan!"
These words were not said by Qin Wen, but came from behind a few people, and when they turned their heads, they saw that Yang Guangming and his entourage, who were holding a folding fan from the Ching Palace, also came in at some point, and it was Chen Shuzhang, a dead ladyboy who was still dressed in pink and enchanting, who spoke.
Ye Qiu couldn't help but feel a little chill when he heard his voice of neither being a man nor a woman, Xiao Chen got along with them a little more, so he asked, "Isn't Tianxiangyuan a top girl in the past few years?" ”
"Haha, Young Master Chen hasn't been visiting the kiln for a few days, right? Otherwise, how could I not know that this Tianxiangyuan has recently come to a new batch of Han slaves (slaves from the northern 'Cold Plains Country'), all of them are stunning, tsk tsk...... "Xu Changqing squinted his eyes as if he was recalling something, and the expression on his face was indescribable.
"That me...... I've been busy lately, and I don't have time to hang out with you, so how would I know this, ahem, in fact, I still have a lot of business to do. Xiao Chen originally wanted to echo a few times, but when he saw Xiao Yao gritting his teeth, he hurriedly changed his words.
"I think your kid is really empty, let my brother help you take a look at it one day...... Oops, the girl spares her life, the girl spares her life! Chen Shuzhang pinched an orchid finger and pointed at Xiao Chen's forehead, Xiao Yao, who had seen him unpleasantly on the side, was quick to move, and the index finger that grabbed him with one hand was pushed back, making him scream in pain.
"Miss Xiao, please look at someone Su's face, just let him go first." Su Wen stepped forward and said.
Xiao Yao raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Hmph, if you take my little brother badly, if you dare to teach my little brother like this, I will definitely ask someone to send you into the palace to be a eunuch!" ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for a few people to say more, and pulled Qin Wen to find a seat upstairs.
Seeing that this little farce was over, Ye Qiu pulled Xiao Chen's sleeve, motioned for him to say goodbye to Su Wen and the others, and beckoned Shang Lu Ming and the others to follow.
"Isn't it? Young Master Xiao Chen, with such a noble status, how can you invite these untouchables to eat in such a high-end restaurant as yours? If this gets out, how much it will damage your identity! ”
When Ye Qiu and the others were about to go up the stairs, an extremely discordant voice interrupted their steps, and the person who spoke was none other than Xu Changqing, who looked at Lu Ming and the others with disdain, especially the word 'untouchable' solemnly.
"They're doing things for me, and they're done with it, so I'll invite them over for a meal, and it's nothing." Xiao Chen pretended not to hear the contempt in his mouth, and said flatly.
"Then how can you do it, untouchables are untouchables by nature, they do things for you, and you also give them money and wages, but this restaurant belongs to your family, how can you invite untouchables to come casually? If you let Grandpa Chen Guo see it, you can't talk about you! ”
"Xu Gongzi's words are a bit excessive, a lifetime, let alone noble and lowly? If you weren't born into a rich family, wouldn't you be a pariah? "Seeing Xu Changqing a 'pariah', Ye Qiu couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth to teach a lesson.
"Yo, isn't this the guy who sells glass? Why, watching me scold this group of untouchables, do you think it's inappropriate or do you also think you're a pariah? Xu Changqing said disdainfully.
"Shut up!" Without waiting for Ye Qiu to get mad, Xiao Chen first 'snapped' and shook Xu Changqing's crisp ear scraper, "Who Young Master Ben invites to dinner is Young Master Ben's own business, and it has nothing to do with you, and, Ye Qiu, he is my friend, if you are rude to my friend again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!" ”
"You...... I ......" Xu Changqing saw Xiao Chen slap himself, and because of the identity of the other party, he didn't even dare to release a cruel word, and even the finger that wanted to point at Xiao Chen shifted the target to Ye Qiu, and finally covered his face and ran away in shame.
"Young Master Xiao, I suddenly remembered that I had to take them to my Xiangyue Building, so I'll go first, you can be busy." Yang Guangming saw that Xiao Chen was angry, and he didn't dare to leave rashly, offending the young master of a national family, which was not a wise choice for him.
Xiao Chen didn't speak, waved his hand, Yang Guangming left with the two of them, and when they left, that Su Wen also threw a smile at Ye Qiu, which made Ye Qiu a little confused.
"Brother Ye, I suddenly found out that the friends I made before were all like this." Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and said to Ye Qiu with some emotion.
Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "It's good if you see it." Let's go, let's go upstairs, I guess it's going to be too late, and your sister should talk about you again. ”
"Hmm." Xiao Chen responded a little dejectedly.
Ye Qiu knew that he was in a bad mood at this time, seeing that his friend who had always played well with him was so doggy, and he came to teach him a lesson for his father, and he couldn't feel better when he encountered such a thing. However, since he has seen through them now, it may not be a good thing, just like Ye Qiu's predecessor, it is precisely because he can't see through them that he was framed to the point of ruining his family.
"Why did you just come up, how long has it been!"
Sure enough, after going up, Xiao Yao opened his mouth to complain, and Xiao Chen let out a listless 'um' sound, and sat down sullenly.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yao asked strangely, seeing that Xiao Chen shook his head and was silent, he looked at Ye Qiu and asked.
Ye Qiu didn't want to say it directly, so he shook his head lightly and motioned her not to ask more, although Xiao Yao didn't understand, he also knew that the little brother was originally cheerful, unless he really had something on his mind, he would look like this, and he wouldn't ask anymore.
There are also a lot of people on the second floor, but there are a lot fewer than the first floor, just enough for Ye Qiu to arrange for Lu Ming and others to sit down, and call the shopkeeper, the second is a shrewd person, he recognized the little master and the eldest lady of his own family at a glance, and after ordering the dishes, he called the shopkeeper, and the one who greeted him before and after was called a courtesy, good wine and good dishes came up, and he didn't forget to introduce the names and characteristics of each dish to everyone one by one, if it weren't for Ye Qiu seeing a look called 'flattery' in his eyes, he would really think that the quality of this ancient restaurant was off the charts.
"Young master, you said that if we also open such a restaurant, will the business be better than theirs?"
After three rounds of drinking, Qing'er, who was sitting next to Ye Qiu, asked in a low voice.
Does this little girl want to be a boss lady? Ye Qiu glanced at her in surprise, Qing'er's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "I just think it's boring to stay at home all the time, seeing that you and Meng Niu are out to do things, Young Master, I also want to help you." ”
Ye Qiu said with a smile: "Since that's the case, well, when the matter of Liuli is over, let's open a restaurant, the biggest, the largest restaurant in Hangzhou!" ”
Qing'er Jiao smiled: "The young master will laugh, this glass matter will not be busy for a while, besides, how can the restaurant really be so easy to open." ”
"Miss Qing'er, you're wrong," Xiao Chen heard them speak, and also interjected, "After the glass is produced, this restaurant will be demolished, and it will be used as a store specializing in selling glass." ”
"Huh? What about this restaurant? I think the business of this restaurant is also very good. Qing'er didn't know about the exchange conditions between Ye Qiu and the Guogong Mansion, and couldn't help but be startled when she heard the news. In her opinion, just one day's silver in this restaurant is enough for them to eat for a year and a half.
"So, I took out this restaurant to make a glass shop for Brother Ye, and Brother Ye promised to give me a more advanced restaurant, and it will be the biggest and best restaurant in our Song Dynasty! When the time comes, I will ask Brother Ye to be the boss, please be the boss's wife! ”
When Qing'er heard this, her cheeks turned red, her beautiful eyes glanced at Ye Qiu, and she shyly turned her head away and pretended not to know.
Ye Qiu: "......"
