Chapter 113: Private Room
The departure of Caifeng's family caused an uproar throughout the Yan family.
Under the corridor of Han Youju, the two mothers-in-law were chatting while basking in the sun. Today, Yan Songnian went out to visit friends, Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu went to Aunt Chu with Yan Runxin, and Caifeng moved to Taoxiangyuan to live, no one cared about them, just idle teeth.
"I said that Caifeng, this girl, has a good face, this is good, their family is happy." A mother-in-law patted her legs.
"Cut, if you are jealous, ask your granddaughter to serve the master as well, and see if your whole family has this blessing." Another mother-in-law scoffed.
When the mother-in-law heard this, she said unhappily: "You old man, why are you full of nonsense, my granddaughter has settled on someone, so that the man doesn't dislike her when he hears it?" See if I don't tear your old mouth. β
"Okay, okay, I'll give you a compensation. In fact, I think Caifeng is not necessarily a good thing if she marries her master. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Come closer, I'll tell you secretly. I was on duty in the yard last night, and I heard Cai Fengcai crying in the old man's house, and said a lot of faint things related to the eldest lady. I guess I'm afraid that Aunt Hai asked her to say it, Caifeng, this girl is not long-hearted, her family is a slave, it was the eldest lady who begged for it, she doesn't know how to be grateful, she reverses the old master, and stumbles on the eldest lady behind her back, I don't think she can go long. β
In addition, the mother-in-law didn't care if Caifeng went for a long time, she squeezed her eyebrows and said, "What did Caifeng say to the master?" β
The woman sighed, "What else can there be! Aunt Hai is really bold, and she dares to say that the eldest lady is not the Yan family's species. Then, she pointed to the sky and said, "She said that the eldest lady is the daughter of that one." β
The other mother-in-law was shocked, stiffened, pinched her fingers and calculated, shook her head and said, "No! Wrong! The lady married in July, and the eldest lady who was born in September of the second year never took a step out of the house. No matter how you count it, it is all born by the master. β
"Who says it's not, Aunt Hai is really crazy. The old man is only in his thirties, how can he be so dizzy and dizzy, and anyone who says it will believe it. β
"That's right! How much favor did the old lady owe back then, so she asked him to marry the daughter of the Le family. What is the family of Lejia, what is the family of Yan, the girl of Lejia can be regarded as marrying low into the mud, not to mention that it is just a mistake, she did not marry the yellow flower girl, even if she is a widow with a child, the Yan family can't afford to marry. β
"What are you talking about, if it weren't for the strange things back then, how could the Yan family be qualified to let the concubine get engaged to the prince, and not the one who remembers the old love."
The two mothers-in-law, you and I, whispered about the events of the year, and Yan Qingge didn't know all this.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the few escaped maids stayed wherever they fled under Yan Songnian's deliberate and muddy condition. Yan Songnian has this kind of magical ability, which can "turn big things into small things and small things", but it's hard to say whether the parties are willing or not.
Jing'er and Caizhu are very honest in Qingxing Garden, and they are extremely diligent, they get up every morning on the fifth watch, first clean the yard roughly, and look at it almost when the rest of the people are about to get up, they go to boil two large copper kettles of hot water for other maids and women, while others are grooming, they are pouring out the night incense of others, and then tidying up the bedding.
If someone has a headache or brain fever, or something to walk away, they will be very active in taking these people's jobs. During the day, he is also looking for work to do, never disgusted with dirty and tired, and rarely rests. Moreover, the two of them never appeared in front of Yan Qingge, neither showing their merits nor attracting attention.
Yan Qingge quickly learned about these two maids.
Yan Songnian's attitude was there, and the maids who fled to Zhuyuyuan and Han Youju stayed, especially the four maids who ran to Han Youju, three of them were friendly with Caifeng, and they went directly to Taoxiangyuan to serve Caifeng, which was simply to show the whole family, Yan Songnian was neither ready to punish Aunt Hai, nor did he believe that these maids were harmful to the master's heart, where they ran, you just stayed and used it.
Yan Qingge was about to return to Bailu Academy after the first lunar month, she called Jing'er and Caizhu and asked, "What are you two planning?" β
Jing'er and Caizhu kowtowed to Yan Qingge and said, "Eldest Miss is merciful, if you don't dislike it, the two of us can do anything in Qingxing Garden." β
Yan Qingge thought for a while and said: "If I send you back to Mingxinzhai, I'm afraid you won't have good fruits to eat, I'll give you two ways, one is to stay in Qingxing Garden, but I'm not there all year round, you can do chores, and it can be regarded as leisure." The second is to go to my uncle's house. β
The two girls glanced at each other, and Xiang'er kowtowed: "Miss, I have ruined my face, I am afraid that I will be disgusted when I go to my uncle's house, I am willing to stay in Qingxing Garden."
Caizhu has more ideas, Aunt Hai's heart is very much, they ran away that night, temporarily picked up a life, but in the future, if in the Yan family, Aunt Hai can always seize the opportunity to grind them, it is better to go to the Le family, although the life is not familiar, but Le Yi is the champion, the family style is definitely better than the Yan family, and there should be no such thing as killing people at every turn.
She gritted her teeth, met Yan Qingge's gaze, and said, "The slave is willing to go to Lejia." β
Yan Qingge estimated that this was also the result, she nodded, and said, "It's just right, I won't treat you badly if you go to Lejia, and I will reward you with a few pieces of jewelry and clothes." I went over there and behaved well, my uncle's family was very good. I'm going to his house today, so pack up and come with me. β
Caizhu didn't expect Yan Qingge to let her go, nodded a little heavily, hugged Jing'er and cried after going out, and then put away her heart and left with Yan Qingge.
From the seventh to the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, most of the shops on the street will be open, and now it is the 14th of the year, and there is a lively scene everywhere, with people coming and going, and the mood is jubilant.
When passing by a street, Yan Qingge suddenly thought about it, and said to the coachman: "Go around that side, I remember that the Shui family restaurant is on the street next to it." β
After the restaurant is renovated after the year, it will reopen for business, Yan Qingge has been affected by the wind for a few days, with snot and tears on his face, and he can't go out, but he has been better these days, but he didn't catch up with the opening day to celebrate.
After arriving at the place, Yan Qingge got out of the car and saw a huge tall and thin water tank standing at the door of the Shui family restaurant on the street, with a ladder next to it, and a canopy on it, and he had to climb to the ladder to get to the mouth of the water tank. The tank was pasted with a piece of red paper with a huge ink-black word "wine" written on it.
There were many people next to him who looked at the vat, and there were many idlers who were amazed at the vat.
The people who greeted the guests at the door were also replaced by two handsome young men, although their ears were still slightly mutilated, and their temperament was full of the unique killing of soldiers at a glance, but they were much better than the two fierce men who were like the iron towers before.
When Yan Qingge walked into the restaurant, he saw that the ground of the main hall was covered with neat and neat small pieces of polished bluestone slabs, and the tables and chairs had also been replaced from ordinary restaurant tables and chairs to very high-end cypress tables and chairs, and the carvings on them were very exquisite, even if they were medium-sized people in Beijing, they couldn't afford to use such chairs.
The biggest change is that the interior of the restaurant is divided into small private rooms, and the walls of each private room are painted with different patterns, which are particularly eye-catching at a glance.
And outside the compartment, there is also the hall. There are four bronze tripods around the hall, which are burning with a prosperous flame, and there are special people to take care of them. In the center of the hall, a long bonsai garden is placed, which fills the room with a lot of life.
Looking at this arrangement, Yan Qingge's eyes lit up, no wonder there were more people in the Shui family's restaurant, just people who came to try and eat two meals, I am afraid that there will be no less.
It's not yet time for lunch, but there are already more than a dozen guests sitting in the hall, and looking at their clothes and jewelry, they are not cheap, so it can be seen that they are either rich or expensive.
It's been a few days since the Shuijia restaurant opened, and I'm afraid there were more people coming here a few days ago.
The account room in the Shui family's shop recognized Yan Qingge, and when he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he greeted her in person: "Miss Yan is here?" Our young lady is not here today. If you want to eat something, there is another private room, you please. β
Yan Qingge smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the pink card hanging on the counter, and at a glance he saw the cucumber fried pork strips, its price has now become two hundred Wen, and Shui Ying's price increase is really thorough.
Yan Qingge nodded with a smile, and was just about to walk into the private room with the account room, when a clever man dressed as an attendant ran in panting, and said, "What about people?" The three of us are coming to dinner soon, so quickly find a good private room for our master. β
This person was wearing a royal blue padded robe, which looked like a very expensive thick brocade, and a piece of valuable green jade was tied to his waist. It's just a squire who dresses up so luxuriously, and he doesn't know what his master is about.
Yan Qingge didn't come here today to eat, she turned to the account room and said, "Since there are guests, I'll come back another day." β
The account room hurriedly stopped Yan Qingge and said, "What did Miss Yan say, if you come here and don't eat before leaving, our young lady knows, how can we explain." β
After saying that, he turned to the attendant and said, "I'm sorry, our private room is full. β
The attendant had a bitter face, and stretched out his hands to Yan Qingge and said, "Didn't this young lady say that she could let me go, why can't you do it like this?" β
"This is our Shui family's honored guest, we can't let it. Sitting in this lobby is no worse than the next place, and in a quarter of an hour, the storyteller should come, listen to books, eat and eat, and have endless fun, so why bother to be stuffy in the private room. The bookkeeper persuaded.
"This ......" the squire hesitated, stomped his foot, "No! β
As he spoke, a little boy jumped in from outside, followed by at least ten attendants, hula hula and hula poured in, filling the hall at once.
The kid blinked his big clever eyes and said to the attendant who came first, "Brother Gu, what about the private room you found for us." β
This kid gave birth to Yuxue cute, naΓ―ve and ignorant, but Yan Qingge didn't dare to underestimate him, because this kid was the Fifth Prince Yuanli.
The attendant said that he had three masters coming. The one who can be called the master together with Yuanli must be the prince. I don't know which of the remaining four princes came this time.
