Chapter 5 It's time to open
Red Sleeves personally returned to the Shen Mansion with General Zheng's husband and wife, and met the old Marquis Shen; Red Sleeves euphemistically said that she wanted to raise a baby in the old house, although she didn't say it explicitly, but Old Marquis Shen also understood what Red Sleeves meant.
Thinking of the difficulty of the Shen family's house, the old marquis Shen finally agreed; Red Sleeves didn't want to go back to the Shen Mansion all at once, she was now living in the two mansions in turn, and it wasn't that she simply didn't go back to the Shen Mansion.
Red Sleeves did not return home, which really surprised some people in the Shen family, and also disappointed some people's calculations.
Soon after the court's rewards to Shen and Zheng came down; Tian died of a sudden illness: because the Shen family uncle was still there, and she had no children, she was not buried in the ancestral grave of the Shen family.
Tian's maiden family was naturally unhappy, and someone came to ask about it; After only asking once, no one came to the Shen family to talk about this matter; Someone asked, and the people of Tian Mansion also flickered and didn't want to mention Tian's affairs.
And Red Sleeves also accepted the meaning of his father and Old Marquis Shen, and resigned from the fief to the emperor on the table: she is not a royal clan, nor is she a royal relative; And Shen and Zheng are already prominent families in the court, and she really can't be a big tree anymore.
If it is only the county lord, the county lord who does not have a fief, there are not a few people who have been sealed out of the court, and it will not attract anyone's attention.
Even if it is the county lord, the imperial court has also sealed a few out this time; Even the princess has sealed one out, but there is no fief: the great victory at the local border is related to the help of a foreign clan.
Therefore, the emperor rewarded him with a big seal on meritorious deeds: it doesn't cost anything to be titled anyway, especially the title of a woman is more expensive and not costly; And when rewarding foreign men, the emperor was not so generous.
Red Sleeves is now busy with the affairs of the teahouse every day, and it will be open in two or three days. And she wanted to open a teahouse, Shen Miaoge did not object.
In Shen Miaoge's opinion, it's just that Red Sleeves is just bored to play, let her go; Red sleeves naturally saw Shen Miaoge's thoughts, and wanted to do a good job in the teahouse, to see if he dared to underestimate people.
The matter of the emperor's sealing of foreign women has become a gossip among the people in Beijing after tea and dinner, and even Zhao and Yunxiang and others are not exempt from vulgarity; In addition to the emperor accepting a few foreign women as concubines, it is the princess of the foreign race who often hangs on people's lips.
When Red Sleeves heard Zhao and Yunxiang say how beautiful and rude the princess was, he smiled and said, "There are not so many etiquettes in the foreign race, so you can't blame her." ”
Zhao sighed: "A good girl's family, isn't it impossible to get married?" It's good if the emperor can receive the harem, but lo and behold, the emperor doesn't want to accept her as a woman who doesn't understand any rules. ”
Redsleeves shook his head and sighed, "Don't talk 'nonsense'. Not everyone has a title for the princess of my dynasty, but she can be named Princess Wuxia by the emperor, which shows that she is favored. ”
Yun Xiang tilted her head: "The servant thinks that the emperor doesn't favor her, but she is a foreigner, so the emperor gave her the title just to win over those aliens." ”
Red Sleeves looked at Yunxiang and nodded gently, but said in his mouth: "Don't discuss state affairs, don't discuss state affairs." ”
Zhao smiled: "It's not the girl who recruited it?" Originally, we were just gossiping, and we didn't care what was true or not, just for fun. ”
The red-sleeved master and servant laughed when he heard this, and he left the princess of the other race and said no more.
General Zheng's husband and wife naturally responded to her daughter's needs, and Shen Fu was ashamed of Red Sleeves, and she was pregnant, so she didn't wait for Red Sleeves to say it, and thought of it for her; In this way, it is easy to deal with the number of people, and the teahouse is finally cleaned up today.
Red Sleeves took the girls to the teahouse to take a look: she always had to see it with her own eyes to know if the teahouse was completely in line with her own mind.
The layout, decoration, etc. in the teahouse, the red sleeves did not follow the modern set - the ancients had the habits and aesthetics of the ancients, and the modern one would not necessarily please the ancients, and it might be clumsy.
Therefore, the layout of the teahouse she envisioned combines modern and ancient things, which will not disgust the ancients, but also has a sense of novelty; Having lived in modern times, she understands very well how important the decoration of the store is; Therefore, although the interior and exterior decoration of the teahouse is not her focus to attract guests, she has also put a lot of effort into it.
Red Sleeves got out of the car and entered the store, looked carefully before and after, up and down, and pointed out to the shopkeeper who followed him if there were some details that were inappropriate, and asked him to quickly find someone to correct them.
Overall, she was very satisfied with the teahouse: she divided it into several different parts, including the magical "fairy tea", which gave the name to the flowering tea balls, and the ancient tea ceremony.
Although the ancient tea ceremony is one of her selling points, it is not her most important selling point: because her teahouse is for nobles and gentlemen to drink, ordinary people will not go to the teahouse to enjoy tea and eat tea.
She wants to take fairy tea as the biggest selling point, she knows many types of fairy tea, among which her favorite is Ruixue Yingchun: when the tea ball is slowly unfolded when the hot water is injected, the golden "color" flowers inside are in full bloom, accompanied by the white "color" Buddha's hand floating in the water, the artistic conception is really wonderful.
The fairy tea dedicated to the Queen Mother and the Emperor can no longer be taken out, so she is also thinking of new tricks: she can't just rely on the modern things to maintain the teahouse, otherwise sooner or later she will sit on the empty mountain.
However, one of the most troublesome things for Red Sleeves now is the tea set: this tea ornamental "sex" accounts for a large proportion, which is very tempting for the literati - but this tea can only be seen in a large glass or a glass jug to let people see its prosperous appearance.
Although there is a very transparent glaze now, although the glaze is not very expensive, only the wealthy nobles can afford it: even if the red sleeves do not consider the silver, it is extremely difficult to buy the right glaze; When the glass was dedicated to the queen mother and the emperor, it was impossible to use more than one in the teahouse.
Red Sleeves looked at the teahouse and couldn't help but think of a sentence: everything is ready, only the east wind is owed; She has asked her father and Shen Miaoge to look for glass utensils, hoping that there will be good news tomorrow, otherwise the opening day will be delayed.
She had no other opinions about the teahouse, so she wanted to take Yunxiang and the others back when a woman came in from outside.
The woman is wearing a strong suit, and she is heroic and "forced"; He was followed by four maids, who were also in strong suits; They entered the teahouse as if no one was around.
After the woman came in, she saw the red sleeves, and she saw at a glance that the red sleeves in the teahouse were the highest status, so she went over and hugged her fists: "Madame, please." ”
Red sleeves blessed slightly: "What advice does the girl have?" She didn't chase people out of the door immediately, and she had to be kind to open the door to do business in order to make money.
The woman's brows furrowed carelessly, as if she was a little dissatisfied with the red sleeves of Wanfu: "Nothing, I heard that there is a magical tea sale here, isn't it?" ”
Red Sleeves was shocked and looked at the woman: Those who know the fairy tea are all dignitaries, who is this woman? She replied cautiously: "This is indeed our family's teahouse, but it is still being cleaned up and has not yet opened." ”
She didn't answer the woman's words.
The woman looked at the teahouse, but she didn't mind that Red Sleeves didn't reply to her words: "Then when will you open here, will there be fairy spirit tea to sell at that time?" ”
Redsleeves thought for a moment and said, "What opening hasn't been discussed yet, but it shouldn't be too long; The girl's house is in the Jingzhong Mansion, and the girl will definitely know about it then. "When her teahouse opens, of course, she will send an invitation to the magnates in Beijing.
Her fairy tea is not remembered by herself, and now I don't know how many people trust each other and want to buy fairy tea; However, the red sleeves were not given: the momentum was already sufficient, and it would be worthless to send fairy tea.
She just wants to make things scarce and expensive, and she wants to create the sky-high price of fairy tea.
The woman tilted her head and thought about it, then hugged her fists: "I'm sorry, take my leave." "Just like when I came, I walked away with the people very neatly.
From the beginning to the end, she didn't put her name on the red sleeves; However, there are many generals in Beijing, and I don't know which general's daughter this is, and she is very manly.
After seeing the woman leave, Red Sleeves confessed a few more words to the old shopkeeper, and then took Yunxiang and the others back to the house.
Shen Miaoge and General Zheng were waiting for her in the hall: they knew that Red Sleeves was in a hurry to open, so they found some glass and brought it back to her.
Red Sleeves was surprised to see all kinds of glass placed in the hall: "This, so much?!" "There are also orthodox tea sets in it, but they are colorful.
General Zheng nodded: "I asked all my friends and subordinates for Liuli, and told them that you don't need to give gifts when you open - these are all gifts." ”
Red Sleeves looked at his father with a smile when he heard this: "You, you ......"
General Zheng waved his hand: "They are just a group of rough people, you are polite to them, they are uncomfortable; You just see if it's suitable, and if it's not suitable, let your mother put it away, sell it in the future, it's enough for your brother to marry a daughter-in-law. He laughed for a while.
Red Sleeves has no way to take his father, but he also knows that the family that can be looted by his father must be his best friend, so he will go: just go back to ask her mother, and always find a way to compensate those people, otherwise she will not be happy in her heart.
Shen Miaoge naturally bought it, and most of the things he picked out fit the meaning of the red sleeves: and there are also complete sets of utensils, not only one set, which can be used in the box to entertain distinguished guests.
In the end, General Zheng was impatient to watch his daughter and son-in-law fiddle with these things, mainly because he didn't want to hinder his daughter and son-in-law, and he muttered sourly in his heart when he left: We are also people with wives, hum, let's go, no longer an eyesore here, we are also people who hurt.
Red Sleeves and Shen Miaoge sent General Zheng away, and when they turned around and picked out the suitable ones with the girls, they wrapped up those who couldn't be used and sent them to Zheng's mansion.
Shen Miaoge helped the red sleeves and sat down: "Are you tired?" Redsleeves looked at him and smiled and shook his head slightly; The husband and wife don't need to say much, just a smile is enough.
Red sleeves sat with Shen Miaoge: "Do you want a daughter, or a son?" "Happiness is the afternoon, two people leaning and gossiping, right?
"As long as it's our children, I want them all, I like them all." Shen Miaoge gently stroked the head of the red sleeves: "What about our children, where are the men and women." He really didn't care, at this time he forgot his responsibility as the eldest son of the Shen Mansion to inherit the ancestry.
