The prince's tour was not over yet, Xu Zishu said goodbye to the senior brother and walked towards the patrol team, not far away. She saw that the eldest prince and the second prince stopped from time to time to exchange a few words with the talents. The eldest princess, the second princess, and the eldest princess in the back stopped when they saw this, waited aside, and waited for them to speak. His Royal Highness King Xuan, the third prince, held Princess Xuan, looked around for a while, and whispered something in Princess Xuan's ear for a while, causing Princess Xuan to cover her mouth and chuckle. The fourth prince followed without saying a word, and the second princess went up to say a few words when she saw someone, and then pointed in one direction with her hand.

Xu Zishu looked in the direction of the second princess's finger, it was a special display area for the royal family, where three calligraphy and paintings were hung, and Xu Zishu walked over there.

There were no onlookers in front of the three calligraphy and paintings, everyone went to see the prince on patrol, and only the caretaker was there.

Xu Zishu looked at the calligraphy and painting on it, good poetry, good painting, good words. It's just this third poem, the words are written well, but this poem, Xu Zishu thinks how can such a poem hang here. So he asked the caretaker, "I don't know who made this calligraphy and painting?" ”

The caretaker said: "It is said that it was written by a talented woman, and some people questioned that the poem was copied from elsewhere, so they hung it here, so that everyone could see whether it was copied or written by that talented woman." The second princess offered a reward, as long as the source of these poems could be found, a reward of 1,000 taels for each poem. ”

The third one is negligible, and the first two poems are indeed excellent, and they are almost catching up with her. Xu Zishu was very curious and asked, "Who is that talented woman who writes poetry?" ”

The caretaker said: "The small ones are not clear. ”

In fact, he knew that the poem was written by Princess Xuan, the painting was painted by King Xuan, and the words were written by the eldest prince. It's just that the eldest prince has confessed, and it is not allowed to reveal who did these three calligraphy and paintings.

Xu Zishu looked at it again, this is the display area where the royal works are hung, and the calligraphy and paintings are hung here, which should be made by a princess and princess in the royal family. Since the second princess offered a reward, it shouldn't have been her doing. There are also the eldest princess, the eldest princess, the second princess, and Princess Xuan, who should be one of them. Princess Xuan shouldn't be able to make such poems, and the eldest princess is not good at poetry. The eldest princess and the second princess have some talents, but Xu Zishu feels that they don't seem to be people who can write such poems.

Who did it? Xu Zishu became more and more curious. I was called the first talented woman, but I didn't expect that there was a talented woman who was on par with me, who was this person?

Xu Zishu asked the caretaker: "This talented woman who writes poetry is a noble girl, right?" ”

The caretaker thought for a moment and said, "It should be." He felt that such an answer was not a revelation of the author's identity, after all, it was definitely impossible for ordinary civilians to hang calligraphy and paintings in the royal display area.

Xu Zishu thought to herself: Since she is a noble girl, tomorrow's "Talent Girl Club" should come. When the time comes, we will see who is the poet of the noble girl, and there will be a judgment roughly.

After Xu Zishu finished asking, he turned around and left. I'm afraid that no one will receive the reward for the second princess, and these poems are indeed written by that talented woman.

The princes and princesses finished their tour, and they said goodbye one after another, and met again tomorrow in the second prince's mansion.

Nangong Youye Xiaoyan walked out of Huiwen Courtyard and was about to get into the carriage, when the fourth prince Nangong Chen came over and said, "Third Emperor Brother, I want to talk to you, I wonder if you are free?" ”

Nangong You was very surprised, usually this fourth emperor brother almost didn't talk to him.

Ye Xiaoyan and Nangong You are going to the west of the city after participating in the "Talent Poetry Meeting". The courtyard behind the restaurant has been expanded, and all the staff of the restaurant have moved to that courtyard yesterday. Ye Xiaoyan appointed Dong Fu as the chief treasurer to manage all things in the restaurant; Appointed Mama Tai as the head chef to manage the back kitchen; The kid who made the bamboo fork that day was appointed as the lobby manager, responsible for managing the front office.

Speaking of that kid, Ye Xiaoyan felt that he was very clever, skillful, and caring, and very suitable for reception in the front hall. So he ordered the boy to be called and asked what his name was. The kid stayed in the Xuanwang Mansion for two days, and then he knew the general situation of the people in the Xuanwang Mansion, and knew that the "two winds" were incomparable to any male servant, and in addition to that, it was "lush branches", and he also wanted to be among the "green" generation, so he asked the princess to give him a name. Ye Xiaoyan saw that this kid was very promising, so she jokingly named him "Little Bamboo". Nangong You heard it, and said with a calm face, it is not allowed to be called "little bamboo", saying that "little bamboo" is the emperor's golden mouth, saying that the word "Xiao" in the princess's name is the meaning of small bamboo, and anyone who dares to call it small bamboo is a taboo, and he was immediately dragged out and cut down. Ye Xiaoyan asked, what is it good to call him? Nangong You said casually: "It's good to call him a little fork." So the boy sadly got the name of "Little Fork". This name was taken by King Xuan, and the little fork didn't dare not take it, and there was no room for discussion.

In addition to this, Ye Xiaoyan appointed another slightly older maid as the waitress foreman. In those days of inspecting the waiter, Ye Xiaoyan found that this maid was hard-working, very friendly, and took care of other people like a big sister, and other people were also very convinced of her. Ye Xiaoyan named her "Qingdai" and was in charge of managing the waiters.

Mama Dong and Xing'er also begged Ye Xiaoyan for mercy. Ye Xiaoyan has returned their deed of sale, they are free, and they also want to go to work in the restaurant (the word "work" has become a common word in Xuanwangfu). Ye Xiaoyan appointed them as the backyard manager, responsible for managing the restaurant warehouse and the backyard accommodation area. In addition, he also bought four more rough envoys to listen to their dispatch. After all, managing warehouses and backyards has a lot of physical work, and Mama Dong is old, so Xing'er can't do it alone. When these two subordinates, who had always been at the lowest level, knew that they had become stewards and that there were four subordinates for them to command and dispatch, they were moved to tears. They have been tormenting in the Prime Minister's Mansion for more than ten or twenty years, they have never done any hard work, and they have to get up and continue to work when they fall ill, but they didn't expect that one day they would be able to send others.

Ye Xiaoyan and Nangong You are going to go to the restaurant today to see how they are doing. Duan Haoran and Xiao Yuhan were also over there. When he went out this morning, Nangong You originally asked Xiao Yuhan to come with him, but Xiao Yuhan didn't come, saying that he didn't like poetry, calligraphy and painting, and he had to entertain people when he came, which was troublesome and boring, so he might as well go and play with Duan Haoran. That night, Ye Xiaoyan came up with the question "How many cows did the farmer leave behind", Xiao Yuhan calculated it all night, and finally calculated it. When he happily came to Ye Xiaoyan to tell him the answer, Nangong You threw him a sentence: "Such a simple question, you actually calculated it all night, you are really stupid." Xiao Yuhan was not convinced, and asked Nangong You how simple it was? Nangong You said that it was a simple algorithm to push back to the truth. Xiao Yuhan was speechless, indeed, it was very simple; Indeed, he was stupid.

Ye Xiaoyan saw that the fourth prince Nangong Chen rarely took the initiative to come to Nangong You, and whispered to Nangong You: "Or, call him to go to the restaurant with us, how can I say that he is also your younger brother." Anyway, when the emperor's imperial plaque comes down, all the princes and princesses will know. ”

Nangong thought about it, he didn't like or dislike this fourth brother, in short, just two words, no feeling. Since Yan'er said so, let's call him. So he said to Nangong Chen: "We are going to the 'Baiwei Building' in the west of the city, if you want, go with us." ”

Nangong Chen thought for a while and asked, "Will it be inconvenient?" ”

Nangong said: "We don't care, it's a restaurant opened by Yan'er, it's inconvenient for you." ”

Nangong Chen's heart was shocked, Ye Xiaoyan actually opened a restaurant? This surprised him. So he said: "Brother Sanhuang, it's convenient for me." ”

"Alright, let's go."

Several people got into the carriage and drove towards the west of the city.
