Chapter 41: The Qin Family, Drunken Immortal Pavilion
Walking into the Zuixian Pavilion, the first thing that catches your eye is the diners sitting on the first floor, but it is very quiet, the diners are quietly eating the food in front of them, rarely making noise, and the air is filled with a strong aroma of wine.
"Wow, brother, this place is so beautiful." Ye Yunyi had no choice but to signal Mo Xiaoye to calm down.
glanced at Ye Yunyi, who glanced around, and saw a junior dressed as a young man walking over.
"I don't know if the two guest officers have reservations, if not, I have to grieve the two to eat on the first floor." Xiao Er asked in detail.
Ye Yunyi took out Xu Tingwei's invitation card and handed it to Xiao Er, who took the invitation card and walked to the counter to find the shopkeeper to check the authenticity.
The shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion put down his hand to knock on the plate, rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the signature on it, his eyes widened directly.
hurriedly came out to greet Ye Yunyi.
"Two distinguished guests, I hope you forgive me for the neglect, please come with me, Master Xu is already waiting in the private room", after speaking, he led Ye Yunyi up the side steps.
Ye Yunyi, who had just walked up to the second floor, saw that most of the diners on the second floor were wearing bachelor's uniforms, wearing top hats, or holding fans, or drinking and talking, most of them dressed as scholars.
Seeing that Ye Yunyi was a fresh face, and he had stayed on the second floor for a while, the shopkeeper explained: "Two distinguished guests, this is the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, and most of the people receiving are students, and they need exclusive members to enter."
There is no restriction on the first floor, as long as everyone comes in, it is a guest. And the guest officer, your invitation is on the fourth floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, and you must have a certain status to reserve a place."
As soon as I heard this, isn't this the restaurant membership level model of later generations, is it possible that it already exists now, is there still a "fellow countryman" like himself?
Ye Yunyi followed the shopkeeper and continued to walk up, "Shopkeeper, who did you come up with this set of management, I have never seen it, I am very curious, I don't know if I can tell it", Ye Yunyi asked as he walked.
"Harm, this is what our shopkeeper came up with, and this method was only implemented a few years ago, but I didn't expect it to be so popular."
"Oh, it seems that your shopkeeper is a strange person, I wonder if you can introduce us to us."
"Guest, I'm sorry, our owner is busy with things and never sees people, please forgive me."
"Well, that's it."
After a while, Ye Yunyi came to the private room on the fourth floor booked by Xu Tingwei, only to see the private room open, and the first thing he saw was an emerald green screen, elegant and fresh.
"Lord Xu, the distinguished guest you invited has arrived, the old man will not bother, if you have any orders, just call the attendant directly", and left after speaking.
"Brother Ye, it can be regarded as waiting for you to come, come quickly, the scenery here is just right, and the wine and food are even more delicious."
Hearing the voice, Xu Tingwei's hearty laughter came from the private room inside the screen.
"Brother Xu warmly invited, how can there be no reason not to come", Ye Yunyi also responded with a smile, and walked inside with Mo Xiaoye by the way.
What Ye Yunyi didn't know was that while he was standing on the fourth floor of the restaurant and looking at the smoke and waves in front of him, there was also a slender figure standing upstairs, that is, the highest building of the restaurant.
Pale pink dress, plump posture, slightly powdered, white cheeks are a pair of eyes like ink jade, obliquely holding a bamboo flute, as if there are thousands of things hidden in the heart, but no one knows.
Finally, it turned into a soft sigh, and then in front of the window, the jade hand raised the bamboo flute in his hand, and the ethereal flute sound, as if there was nothing, scratched the heartstrings of the passers-by below.
Pedestrians stopped to see what kind of person could play such a soft and beautiful flute.
She is the owner of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the current head of the Qin family, and also Qin Luoyao's aunt, Qin Yuelong, known as the Moon Shadow Fairy among the Chu people, when Qin Luoyao had not become the queen before, she and Qin Yuelong were called the double beads of Chu by the world.
The previous Qin family was one of the three pillar nations of the Chu State, but the good times did not last long, in just a few years after the recently deceased Chu Emperor ascended the throne, Qin Luoyao's father Qin Pingqiu was beheaded on trumped-up charges, and the Qin family fell from a generation of pillar states to the current one, which can only rely on business to gain a foothold in the Chu capital.
It's also funny to say, the Qin family passed down to Qin Luoyao's father's generation, and they were already thin, and there were only Qin Pingqiu and his sister Qin Yuelong in their direct line.
However, Qin Pingqiu is an infatuated species, and he only married Qin Luoyao's mother, and later, the next generation of the Qin family is only Qin Luoyao.
Qin Luoyao's father, Qin Pingqiu, in order to keep his Qin family's status from declining, did not hesitate to send his daughter Qin Luoyao to the palace, and with his Qin family's political power, he successfully became the queen.
Who would have thought that even if Qin Luoyao ascended to the back position, he would still not be able to keep the Qin family's safety. Although Chu Emperor Chu Mian said that he had no scheming, he couldn't stand up to other people who coveted the prominent status of the Qin family, and under a bunch of slander, Chu Mian, as the Son of Heaven, also felt the threat of the Qin family.
And then the next thing is that the new emperor Chu Mian ascended the throne for less than three years, that is, in the third year of Daxing, in the Lantern Festival, which was celebrated all over the world, a holy decree came out, and the Qin family, who was still immersed in a festival, was directly raided.
The Qin family, which had been prominent for several generations, was eliminated from the game, Qin Pingqiu was beheaded, and Qin Yuelong, the rest of the Qin family, had no choice but to stand up and support this broken Qin family.
Almost in a humiliating way, he married Shi Lin, a henchman of the Chu Emperor who was about to enter the cabinet at that time, that is, one of the three elders of the Taige Dynasty later, in exchange for the Qin family's survival.
And in this period of the past, the Ye family at that time, even if they wanted to make a move, they had no ability to lend a hand, the huge Ye family only had one old servant and Ye Yunyi, a weighty father was in the frontier, and his grandfather died, and Ye Yunyi was still undergoing the trial of the dark pavilion at that time, and had not yet become an official pavilion master.
Ye Yunyi and the three of them sat down, and soon after chatting, the dishes in the restaurant came up, Mo Xiaoxie, who had always been accustomed to eating wild food, saw these novel things, and no matter what outsiders thought, he raised his sleeves and ate them.
"My sister is used to being wild, and I hope that Brother Xu will not see outside", Ye Yunyi, who was still drinking, saw Xu Tingwei looking at Mo Xiaoye, so he had to explain.
"Haha, what did Brother Ye say, I am a martial artist, I have always been rough, when I see Ling Mei's behavior, I feel very kind, I will dislike it", Xu Tingwei saw that Ye Yunyi thought crookedly, and he also said his thoughts.
"It's mine, it's not me, come, Brother Xu, I toast you."
"Come, come".
Staggered, Ye Yunyi and Xu Tingwei chatted very speculatively, and it was rare to meet a true friend, but Mo Xiaoye was very interested in the food on this table, and he couldn't talk about it.
When the dinner was over and the next person came to clean up, Ye Yunyi and Xu Tingwei stood up and walked to the window together.
Legend has it that the scenery of the drunken immortal pavilion is a must in the capital of Chu, standing on this high place, you can see most of the grand scenery of Chudu, the tall imperial city in the distance is clearly visible, the vendors on the roadside are disturbed, the sound of selling is endless, the frolic of the child, and the green willows by the river are all in the bottom of the eye.
