Chapter 155: Sweet Tea!
"You've already taken it down, and you're still here to ask me?" The emperor took his eyes off the ledger and glanced at Tianling, "When you left the palace, you bargained with me, saying that you have full control over business matters, and now you are asking me about this matter, do you think I will not keep my promise?" β
"Heavenly Spirits will never dare! It's just because of the previous incident, His Royal Highness may still have some dislike in my heart, and now that something like this has happened in Baihualou, the small one is just out of the consideration of businessmen, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness will misunderstand the small oneΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" As soon as Tianling's words fell, he saw the emperor slam the account book on the desk with a snap.
"That Laoshzilou made such a thing in his hands, and I didn't punish him because he was young and ignorant, and you took down that piece of land according to the rules of the merchants, what opinion does he dare to have?"
"Your Majesty is angry." Tian Ling looked like he regretted saying the wrong thing, "Tian Ling doesn't mean that His Royal Highness will have an opinion, Tian Ling is just afraid, so he doesn't choose what he says, and asks His Majesty to punish him." β
"What are you afraid of?" The Emperor's piercing eyes swept over.
"Heavenly Spirit... Heavenly spirits are afraid of pain... I'm afraid of being beaten..." When Tianling said this, his eyes deliberately avoided the emperor's gaze, and the dodging look looked extremely pitiful in the emperor's eyes.
The emperor was provoked by the pitiful appearance of Tianling, and blurted out, "I have my support for you, what are you afraid of!" β
Immediately, he felt that these words were a little too protective of the heavenly spirit, and he was afraid that he would use these words to go out and make a fortune, so he knocked again, "As long as it does not violate the laws and disciplines of the country, you will let it go, I have a rod and scale in my heart, and I will read all your merits and hard work." β
"Your Majesty treats Tianling like this, Tianling is grateful, and he will definitely strive to make the business in his hand bigger to repay His Majesty's grace." Tianling has now reached the point where he doesn't need to make drafts, and he opens his mouth to make a set, which makes the emperor happy.
When Tianling left the palace the next day, the emperor also specially instructed Gonggong Hai to go to the treasury and pick up a few things and give them to Tianling.
The iron rooster actually began to pluck its feathers, which is really rare.
When the heavenly spirit left the palace, he opened the things given by the emperor and took a closer look.
A piece of porcelain, a brocade, and an untold gadget, which looked like a plaything for a child.
Tianling doesn't understand porcelain, so he didn't see anything wrong with this porcelain bottle given by the emperor, but the brocade, the fabric is soft and bright, and it is much better than the common brocade on the market, especially the embroidery on it, and the gold and silver threads are hooked out differently and vividly.
After returning to the Xuanping Hou Mansion, Tianling specially went to ask Xuanping Hou Jiang Suiyuan about the use of the imperial gifts, in the cognition of the heavenly spirit, there are some special regulations for the use of the imperial gifts in ancient times, I don't know if there are those rules in this world, just in case, it is best to understand.
As a result, Jiang Suiyuan squinted his eyes and thought for a long time without saying a word.
"Father, what's wrong with it?" Tianling looked at Jiang Suiyuan with some doubts.
"Nope." Jiang Suiyuan came back to his senses, "Father was just thinking about how to dispose of the imperial gifts in the Hou Mansion. β
"Did your father remember?" Tianling looked at Jiang Suiyuan expectantly.
"I think I remember, but it's just Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Xuanping Hou Jiang Suiyuan felt for the first time that sometimes speaking was not a simple matter.
"Just what?" Heavenly Spirit asked.
"It's just that the Hou Mansion accepted the imperial gift, and it seems that it was still a matter of the reign of the first emperor." The first sentence came out, and the rest of the words were much smoother, "After Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, it seems that he has not rewarded the Hou Mansion with anything." If you hadn't asked today, Ben Hou wouldn't have noticed that His Majesty hadn't even rewarded the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with a single thing! β
"However, His Majesty is thrifty nowadays, and it seems that in addition to the necessary rewards, he has not given anything special to his subordinates." Xuanping Hou Jiang Suiyuan said again, "Ben Hou didn't say anything before, can you remember?" β
"My father never said that His Majesty did not reward anything to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and the child remembered." Heavenly Spirit said with a grin.
"Don't say that!" Marquis Xuanping glared at Tianling, and then he carefully explained the court's handling of the imperial gift to Tianling.
It turned out that in the Great Wei Dynasty, there were no special rules for the things that the emperor gave to his subordinates, and there were no things like the TV series in the world of Tianling, which would be punished if it was damaged. But after giving it to you, you can use it however you want.
It's just that the gifts of the emperor represent a kind of honor, so although there is no law that regulates the use of these things, most people still cherish these things to express their respect and gratitude to the emperor.
Tianling thought about it, since there were no restrictions, what was given to him was his own, and he could use it however he wanted, and he didn't need to learn from others to offer these things.
So when he went to Baihualou again, he brought this porcelain vase and this brocade to Baihualou.
Because of the emperor's nod, after Tianling came out of the palace, he plunged into the Baihualou, he invited the people who built the theater building before, and demolished all the original bells and whistles of the walls and windows in the Baihualou, and none of them were left, and the place originally used to make a casino was also pushed, and the entire Baihualou, except for the land, only the beams and pillars were still the original.
After cleaning up the original things of Baihualou, Tianling rearranged the pattern of it, and ordered a new seat from Zuowen to carry it in, in addition, the porcelain bottle given by the emperor was placed in the most conspicuous position at the door.
The brocade, Tianling set a frame according to its size, stretched it in it and made a screen, next to a lotus bonsai, looking particularly eye-catching, but also very gratifying.
When Tianling was admiring all this, Lu Qing with a hat walked in.
"You've been busy with your feet not touching the ground these days, and you've even taken leave from the academy, so you're busy with the layout in this building?"
"Miss Lu Qing, are you here?" Tianling turned his head and saw Lu Qing, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her in front of him, pointing to the porcelain vase and screen that had just been placed, "Help me take a look, is it okay to place it like this?" β
"Not bad." Lu Qing nodded, "But it would be better if one or two more blooming flower branches were inserted into that porcelain vase." β
Tian Ling looked at the bottle again and again, nodded in agreement, "It's still Miss Lu Qing's unique vision." β
Lu Qing smiled and looked at the furnishings in the building again, "You don't even go to the academy these days, you plunged into this building and got this out?" β
"yes, how's that? Not bad, right? Following Lu Qing's gaze, Tianling looked at the decoration he had been staring at these days, and was very satisfied.
"It's neatly arranged, but it's a little less novel, too plain." After reading it, Lu Qing gave his opinion, "But these tables and chairs look well-behaved and cute, and they are very chic." β
"There are so many partitions in these places, presumably to make the surroundings brighter, why do you have to set up curtains, it seems a little redundant to hang them like this."
The more Lu Qing looked at it, the tighter her brows wrinkled, these furnishings, at least in her opinion, were a little lackluster.
"But this layout has a bit of a hotel layout, but compared to a hotel, it is a little less spacious, I don't know what the third prince is doing?"
"Miss Lu Qing has good eyesight." Heavenly Spirit said from the heart.
It's really remarkable to be able to see so many things at a glance.
Seeing Tianling say this, Lu Qing stopped, she turned her head to look at Tianling, her eyes under the hat seemed to be waiting for a surprise, "I just think that with the appreciation level of the third prince, it is absolutely impossible to make such an ordinary arrangement, this must have a special purpose, right?" β
"Want to know?" Heavenly Spirit asked.
"Hmm!" Lu Qing nodded heavily.
"I won't tell you." Tianling deliberately sold a pass, "When the time comes, you will naturally know." β
"Then you just tell me that it's okay to do business here in the future, right?" Lu Qin said softly.
Tianling was powerless to resist Lu Qing's gentle and soft words, and the beauty couldn't resist it at all, "Okay, it's okay to tell you, I said that this place was demolished and rearranged, because I wanted to do an unprecedented business." β
"What business?" Lu Qing said curiously.
"A place that all girls can't resist." Tianling said with a smile.
"Rouge jewelry shop?" Lu Qing said to himself, "No, there is never a need for so many tables and chairs in the rouge jewelry shop. β
"Guess again?" The Heavenly Spirit shook his head.
"The brocade material on this screen is excellent, and the embroidery on it is excellent, and you put it in such a conspicuous place, don't you want to do a business of silk and satin garments?" Lu Qing continued.
"Definitely." Tian Ling shook his head again, "Rouge jewelry, silk clothes, these things girls like, but not every girl can buy them for herself as she wants. The business that is about to start here is something that ordinary ordinary girls can also come in and consume. β
Lu Qing pondered for a long time, but still didn't come up with a reason, so he had to give up, but he was really curious in his heart, so he Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Third son, good son, just tell Lu Qing, what kind of business is it, I'm so curious." Lu Qing was scratched by the heavenly spirit, and begged repeatedly.
"Nope." Tianling was unmoved in the face of Lu Qing's coquettishness this time, "This is a surprise, I have to save it for the end." β
In the end, no matter what Lu Qing said, Tianling didn't tell her.
Lu Qing couldn't, so he had to give up.
But in the days that followed, as soon as he got off the stage, he chased after Tianling, which made Tianling very helpless, and now Lu Qing has a large number of hardcore fans in the capital, if he is recognized outside, it will definitely attract a group of people to surround him, where can Tianling stand this, if he wants to tell Lu Qing, after all, if he is so curious, he will also scratch his liver like this, but after thinking about it, this is a surprise, I knew it in advance, it would not be a surprise, besides, if I relied on her this time, In the future, her little beauty will use this method when she has something, isn't she too passive?
Hmph, can't tell, resolutely can't tell!
But it's really inconvenient to be surrounded by people from time to time when going out like this, so Tianling thought of a way to let Lu Qing dress up as a man and follow him, so that Lu Qing's wish was fulfilled and he had a lot less trouble.
"You wait here for me, I'll be back shortly." Tianling said goodbye to Lu Qing, and then entered a shop that made dim sum.
Lu Qing looked at Tianling's thin and straight back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She knew that she had been messing around with him a little too much in the past few days, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't have a trace of impatience, so she let herself mess around.
In fact, she also knows that this nonsense is not good, but I don't know why, every time she sees the little boy accommodating herself, she is inexplicably very happy, in front of him, Lu Qing often forgets her age, and even has the illusion that she is younger than him, so from time to time she does something she would not have done to satisfy her delicate thoughts.
Who doesn't love to be pampered?
Lu Qing sighed, such a gentle and generous little boy is really impossible not to like.
After a while, Tianling came out of the dim sum shop, still carrying two stacks of sturdy dim sum wrapped in oiled paper.
"How about a taste." Tianling jumped into the carriage and stuffed two stacks of dim sum into Lu Qing's arms.
"Buy so much, is the little boy trying to support me?" Lu Qing pursed his lips and smiled.
"I bought some of the snacks from their shop." Tianling smiled and said, "They also bought some for my father, and I want you to help you taste it, which one is the best." β
"If the little boy wants to know this, just ask the store which one sells best?" Lu Qing opened the oil paper bag, took a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth.
"Haha, Miss Lu Qing doesn't understand, you can't ask the store." Tianling smiled and said, "The most sold in the shop is the best, not necessarily the best." β
"If it's not delicious, how can it sell the best?" Lu Qing wondered.
"The best things sold in the cloth are linen and cotton, but neither of them is as beautiful or comfortable as satin." Tianling smiled, "Following this truth, the dim sum shop owner tells you that the best one is not necessarily the best. β
"In fact, in many cases, what people choose is actually very different from what people really like and want."
When Lu Qing heard this, his eyes were shining and he looked at Tianling, "I have been taught, the little boy is smart, and Lu Qing is not as good as what if." β
"Miss Lu Qing, I'm embarrassed if you praise me like this." Tianling said with a smile.
"Lu Qing's words are true, and there is no exaggeration." Lu Qing said with a straight face.
"Then you go on to tell me some facts about this, my son loves to hear it." Tianling lazily leaned against the wall of the car and spoke.
"Besides, you're going to heaven!" Lu Qing nodded Tianling's forehead, "After a while, I will be faceless and skinless again." β
ββββββ
Pingjing City is particularly lively today, because the Baihualou, which was closed before, is actually open again!
No, it should be called sweet tea now.
Although the name is weird, the momentum of the opening is not small, and the gongs, drums and firecrackers are ringing in unison!
Invited posts are sent as soon as they see people, from princes and generals to peddlers and pawns.
I heard that the owner of the shop also sent a post to the Great Prince's Mansion, which is really bold!
