Fengxiang Building, the largest large restaurant in the capital, is said to be the industry under the name of Feng Dazhuang, the helmsman of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce.

The so-called restaurant is not simply selling wine, it is a collection of singing and dancing, juggling, animal taming, drum performance, poetry and piano art and other game skills in one, and it is a pastime for the world's nobles.

Those who can afford to spend here are all valve families or wealthy tycoons with huge fortunes.

Qingluan has grown so big, and he has only been here twice. Moreover, Xiao Luo brought her here both times.

Every time I come back for recreation, it costs hundreds of taels of silver, and not everyone can afford it. You must know that an official of the imperial court is a third-grade official, and a month's worth of chestnut rice and food is only about ten taels of silver.

Of course, those high-ranking officials in the court today are all from aristocratic scholars and doctors, and their main income does not depend entirely on the idea of rice chestnut silk cloth given by the imperial court, and most of them are still produced by their own fiefdoms.

After Qingluan returned to the city from Peiyang Lake,

The next day, I asked the princess's housekeeper Cui to go to Fengxiang Building to pay the advance and book a private room location.

On the second day, she took a carriage to the gate of Fengxiang Building, waiting for the arrival of Li Wen, Chaoyang and Sun Li.

Fengxiang Building is open every day, and the museum is closed in the middle of the night, and the guests in the building may be able to stay up all night.

At this time, it is already three o'clock, and the traffic in front of the Fengxiang Building is full of lights.

The nobles of the family in brocade clothes smiled and greeted each other, and the aliens with all kinds of hair flowed among them, and it seemed that even the stone beasts of the town house in front of the building had a strong atmosphere of wealth and nobility.

The yellow-haired bearded merchants, the pot-bellied rich gentlemen, the prodigal squirters with beauties in their arms, and the glamorous geisha with a pipe in their arms......

Qingluan sat in the carriage, browsing these guests who entered and exited Fengxiang Building from the window, and suddenly saw a very familiar bone waist tag hanging on the waist of one person, and the strange bat totem was actually seen by himself in the previous life.

At that time, after she and Xiao Luo escaped from Fengyang Xiao Mansion, they had seen this rare milky domino hanging from the waist of the dead soldier who was traveling with them.

The dead soldiers of the Xiao family actually entered and exited Fengxiang Tower?

Qingluan suddenly became suspicious in his heart, although he was not sure whether those dead soldiers were raised by the Xiao family, but they must have something to do with Xiao Luo.

She instantly felt that her brain was not enough, and she always felt that something was not grasped, and let it slip away.

Qingluan hurriedly got out of the carriage and ordered Ziyu to wait for Chaoyang and them at the door, and he took Yuzhu and tracked the figure.

The man was tall, wearing a swallow-tailed soap gauze hat, a red brocade robe, a white jade leather belt at the waist, and black cowhide boots under his feet, which was a common attire for men today.

He was alone, and his pace was not fast, like an ordinary guest who had come to a banquet, but when he met those servants of Fengxiang Mansion in the building, the servants seemed to know him all and saluted him.

Through the two doors, he went to the second floor, and when he reached the middle of the stairs, he seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned back to look in the direction of Qingluan.

Qingluan quickly hid behind the pillar of the hall, signaling Yuzhu behind him to hurry back and stop following him.

This person seems to have a strong sense of perception, and he must be a person with extremely high martial arts. Qingluan himself followed without worrying about being discovered by him, but if there was a jade bead behind him, the target would be obvious.

Yuzhu felt that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to disobey the order, so she had to stop with worry.

The man's gaze swept downstairs like a knife, and he saw two of the guests walking upstairs with him, and a few of them were talking and laughing with acquaintances, and nothing was out of the ordinary.

He thought about it, turned around and walked upstairs, and disappeared around the corner of the corridor in the blink of an eye.

Qingluan frowned, thought for a while, and went to the private room on the third floor that he had booked.

In the private room on the third floor, when the servant saw the guest with the room card coming in, he quickly lit the copper charcoal stove on the collapsed table and boiled hot water to make tea.

Qingluan was dressed in a man's outfit with wide sleeves and a large robe, wearing a small soap gauze hat covering his forehead, and a knotted hat ribbon tied at his chin. ”

Qingluan waved his hand, "People are not together yet, wait a minute, you can go and wait outside the door." ”

The servant bowed out of the private room and stood still in the doorway.

Qingluan walked the servants, came to the window railing, and looked around the building.

The building has five floors and has a patio, and all rooms are built around a central patio. Standing on the railing of the patio, you can enjoy the view of each private room and the downstairs.

Of course, if you don't want to be spied on, you can close the carved diamond window at the railing and lower the curtain.

There is a stage on the second floor as far as the eye can see, and it is empty at this time.

Artists only perform on stage after a while, and if there are guests who want to listen to music and dance at this moment, they can pay silver taels to call a sign and let the jugglers enter the private room to perform.

The building is full of magnificence, carved railings and paintings, and even the servants who serve tea and pour water are wearing blue splendid clothes, which are full of extravagance.

However, the exquisite and gorgeous place is also an out-and-out gold cave, which is better than the romantic place of the Qinglou.

The private room alone costs 200 taels per day, and the lowest price is 150 taels for a table of dishes, and the drinks must be counted separately; Order a geisha performance, counted separately; Order a beauty to accompany the wine, another count......

The only thing that doesn't cost money is the performance in the stands on the second floor.

Qingluan estimated that the deposit of five hundred taels of silver prepaid by Steward Cui should be reluctantly ...... Enough is enough.

Not long after, the county lord of Chaoyang flew in like a fiery butterfly, followed by Sun Li, who was dressed in a fish-white brocade robe, but he didn't see Li Wen.

"Why didn't Brother Wen come?" Qingluan asked.

Ziyu said: "Wen Shizi sent a little servant to talk back, saying that he suddenly had an urgent matter today and couldn't come, so please take care of the county lord." ”

Emergency? Qingluan chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know what the urgency is?" ”

Ziyu: "That little guy didn't say. ”

Chaoyang sat down on the low couch and said, "It must be from Cousin Wen's hometown." ”

Someone from his hometown?

Qingluan's heart became more and more uneasy, "Could it be that someone from the palace of Qi is here?" Do you know what's going on? ”

Chaoyang shook his head, "I'm just guessing, otherwise he is alone in Beijing without a job or job, what can he do?" ”

Chaoyang is embarrassed to say, he is so old, it is said that there is not even a concubine in the house, what emergency can there be when he is alone.

Qingluan frowned and instructed Yuzhu, "You quickly leave the Prince's Mansion and ask, what happened?" ”

Yuzhu answered and exited the private room directly.

Sun Li sat down on the low couch, propped one arm on the table, held his chin and said depressedly: "Wen Shizi is really strange, he said that he was with me yesterday, and he must come to Jianing's invitation today, but he suddenly didn't come today, alas, it's really a disappointment." "If I knew that, he wouldn't come.

Qingluan was a little uneasy in his heart, but Chaoyang and Sun Li were both here, and it was not easy for him to go to the Prince's Mansion to inquire.

After thinking about it, he called the servant, "The guests are all here, go and order food quickly." ”

The servants departed.

Qingluan raised his eyes and saw Han Zai sitting alone in the corner of the room, holding a knife, and said to him: "Uncle Han Zai, there are no outsiders here, come and drink a cup of tea." ”

Although Han Zai has always been by his side, he usually acts like an invisible person, and always lets himself ignore his figure.

Only in a private room like today did Qingluan discover his existence.

Han Zai shook his head and sat straight without saying a word, like a seated Buddha.

Sun Li pursed his lips and took a sip of his teacup, but his eyes glanced at the strange guard.

Jianing is weird all day long, and even her servants are different from normal people, sure enough, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
