Chapter 258: Showdown
Cai Ling feels that her master's recent style of acting is really becoming more and more unpredictable, but Cai Ling understands that Bai Luochu's actions have always had her own reasons, and she is a slave and maid who can let her master take the initiative to explain what she thinks in her heart is already a blessing from cultivation, and she naturally shouldn't have any other extravagant hopes. It's better to do your job honestly.
On the other side of the Great Prince's Mansion, Ming Lu jumped into the study and said to Pei Rumo: "Master, when the slave was about to leave the mansion just now, he happened to meet Miss Luochu's maid coming to find him, guess what, what did Miss Luochu's personal maid send to our Great Prince's Mansion?"
Pei Rumo saw that his scholar was not stable at all, so he shook his head helplessly, but he didn't want to dampen Minglu's enthusiasm like this, so he asked Minglu directly: "I naturally can't guess anything, why don't you tell me, what happened?"
Ming Lu immediately smiled, thinking that his master must have been unexpected: "Miss Luochu gave us an invitation, and her personal maid said, let the slave must be handed over to you personally." ”
Pei Rumo was stunned when he heard this, and confirmed it again as if he couldn't believe it: "Invitation, are you sure?"
Minglu nodded, and said to Pei Rumo: "Sure, it's true, I don't believe you." After Ming Lu finished speaking, he gave the invitation he had hidden behind him to Pei Rumo.
Pei Rumo understood at a glance that this was really an invitation written by Bai Luochu to him, and immediately instructed Minglu: "There is no need to prepare tea tomorrow afternoon, Luochu invited me to go to Xuanyi Pavilion to taste tea." ”
After noon the next day, Bai Luochu was just taking a nap after lunch, and he was already walking towards the Xuanyi Pavilion, in order not to let Pei Qingfeng's hidden guards know, he did not go from the main gate of the General's Mansion, but from the tunnel to the Yuandao Building, and then he walked out of the door of the Yuandao Building and walked towards the Xuanyi Pavilion.
As early as yesterday, Bai Luochu had asked Cai Ling to send a letter here, saying that he would come today and invite guests to come over. After Meng Luoping found out, he set aside the No. 1 room of this Tianzi early. Waiting for Bai Luochu to come over today.
Now it's just past noon, and his own master is here, and Meng Luoping still thinks that he has mistaken the time.
"Master, didn't you say that you only came in the afternoon, why did you come here suddenly, I haven't packed up my things yet," Meng Luoping explained to Bai Luochu when he saw this.
Bai Luochu didn't care, just shook his head, and said to Meng Luoping: "Don't worry, it's me who invites someone, I always have to come over and have a look, don't I? I came a little earlier, so by the way, let's see how our teahouse is doing. ”
Meng Luoping's heart suddenly fell to the ground, and he was still worried that something had gone wrong with his own affairs, after all, this was the first time his master had let him do things, and if he messed up like this, he would not be able to explain it.
"Master rest assured, although this teahouse is not as profitable as Yuandao Lou and Zhuhua Pavilion, but in the end, it has always been profitable. Meng Luoping explained honestly.
Bai Luochu nodded when he heard this, and said to Meng Luoping: "I can't remember this, Yuandaolou is because it is a restaurant, and people have to eat anyway, so they make money." As for the ability of the Flower Pavilion, it is a gold cave that uses those pink skeletons to make money, Xuanyi Pavilion, it is normal to be not as good as it, originally this Xuanyi Pavilion was used to collect news, whether to make money or not, but it is the second thing. Okay, this is you, I don't worry, tell the dining room to prepare the refreshments, even if my guests don't come after a while, it should be time for the guests in the teahouse to be busy, don't neglect other guests because of me. ”
"Yes, my subordinates understand. Meng Luoping hurriedly said to Bai Luochu.
After Bai Luochu finished his order, he went straight to the Tianzi No. 1 private room in this teahouse.
Pei Rumo came on time.
"Originally, I thought that there was something special about this teahouse, which could make Doctor Bai look at it differently, so it seems that even the name of the private room is ordinary. It's really curious why Doctor Bai chose such a place. As soon as Pei Rumo came, he was lamenting that the name of the private room in this teahouse was not very elegant.
Meng Luoping was in a cold sweat on the side, and said in his heart The name of this private room was given by the ancestor in front of you, saying that it is vulgar and elegant, so it is easy to remember the charges of different private rooms.
Bai Luo didn't show any anger when he first heard this, but politely beckoned Pei Rumo to sit down: "The eldest prince, please take a seat, why bother so much about the name, the refreshments and tea leaves here are good, Your Highness will know why I brought the Great Highness down here after tasting it." ”
Pei Rumo sat down happily, without any pretentiousness, as soon as he sat down, the second child of this Xuanyi Pavilion had already put the refreshments and tea on the table: "Guest officer, please use it slowly." ”
Pei Rumo picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth to taste it. Bai Luochu took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Pei Rumo, pushed it in front of Pei Rumo, raised his hand slightly, and motioned for Pei Rumo to take a sip of tea and taste it.
Pei Rumo swallowed the dim sum and took another sip of tea, so that he understood the mystery of this, the dim sum in this teahouse seems to be only at the upper middle level, but it is better than the reasonable matching, so that people really can't find any fault, the taste of the dim sum itself and the taste of the tea complement each other.
After Pei Rumo sighed, he said directly to Bai Luochu: "Say, look for me today, it won't be as simple as drinking tea." ”
When Bai Luochu heard Pei Rumo ask like this, he said straight to the point: "Should the eldest prince withdraw the people outside the wall of the general's mansion?" ”
Pei Rumo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, he didn't expect that this girl would say it so bluntly.
Pei Rumo thought for a moment and then asked directly, "When did you know?" ”
"It's not hard to know, I've had a guess for a long time, but now it's just a certainty. Bai Luochu said frankly.
Pei Rumo understood that after all, she was too anxious yesterday to let her break the truth so quickly, but the people she sent out naturally did not take back the reason, and immediately refused unceremoniously: "If I say that I am not willing to withdraw people, what should you do?"
The moment Pei Rumo's words fell, there was silence in the private room of this teahouse, as if it was not the same speed of time and space as outside.
