Chapter 203 Defu Building
"The carriage has been prepared, I don't know when the princess will go out?" Suqin came in and asked softly.
Gu Wanyin glanced at the hourglass, and after a moment of silence, she got up: "Let's go." Otherwise, it's not good to keep people waiting. ”
Danzhi and Suqin followed Gu Wanyin out of the door together.
"Go to Defu House." After getting into the carriage, Gu Wanyin instructed the coachman.
As soon as the coachman raised his whip, he headed for the largest restaurant in the city, Defu Building. It is not necessarily true to say that it is a restaurant, because my Defu Building itself is a big mansion, only with a private room and no lobby, and the house is divided into an outer house and an inner house, and the scenery is excellent, so it has become the favorite place of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital.
With such conditions, the fee is naturally very high, if you don't have some net worth, you don't dare to go in at all.
The inner house of Telford House is specially used to receive female guests. And the place where Gu Wanyin is going is also the inner house of Defu Building. The person who invited her to the banquet had already set up a feast in the No. 1 room of the inner house, waiting for her to come.
From this point of view alone, the opponent's handwriting is extremely large. Apparently very sincere.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in a quiet alley, a double-open door, and the door plaque read: "Koufu Building." And there was a sign hanging on the side of the door, which read: "Male guests stop." ”
This is the entrance to the inner house of the Koufu Building, which is dedicated to receiving female guests. There were a few strong women guarding the door, and they were afraid of breaking in.
Seeing that the carriage of the Zhou family stopped at the door, one of the mothers-in-law hurriedly greeted him, and welcomed Gu Wanyin into the inner house very politely: "Is the lady a banquet or an appointment?" ”
At the same time, the other mother-in-law hurriedly instructed the coachman to drive the carriage into a small courtyard opposite. A rough look into the door showed that there were already a lot of carriages parked inside, all of them were magnificent, and it was obvious that the owner's background was not small. This also shows that Defu House is thriving, and it is indeed the largest and most top-notch restaurant in Beijing.
At least. This kind of style is not much different from many families. I can feast here. It not only shows one's own taste and identity, but also enhances the identity of the person who is invited to the banquet.
"I'm here for an appointment, Tianzi No. 1 room." Gu Wanyin didn't look around. Just whispered his destination lightly. In a place like this, if you move casually, you will lose your identity.
But the woman only sent them to the door of a moon cave. It's just to stop. At the same time, two beautiful girls came out of the moon cave door, and the mother-in-law whispered a few words to them, and then retreated. And the girl smiled politely and said, "The slave maid took the lady to the No. 1 room of Tianzi." After finishing speaking, he swung his waist and walked in front to lead the way.
These two girls advanced and retreated in moderation, and their demeanor was just right. It is neither subservient nor too arrogant, and is obviously specially trained. Looking around, pavilions and pavilions, full of scenery, such exquisite and beautiful gardens, I don't know how much time and money it takes to build.
Gu Wanyin couldn't help but admire the owner of this Defu Building a little more, such a big stroke, no wonder it can be worthy of the name of the first restaurant in Beijing;
The two girls led Gu Wanyin to a small two-story building, and it was Ying Ying Yifu: "Madam." It's here. Please go up by yourself, the slave and maid can only go here. ”
Gu Wanyin nodded, just glanced at it casually and walked towards the house. Sure enough, when I entered the house, another girl came out. Compared with the previous one, she was a little more clever and delicate: "Madam, please go upstairs directly, that lady is already waiting." While speaking, he led Gu Wanyin to the stairs, but he did not come forward again.
Gu Wanyin didn't hesitate, and went upstairs. Danzhi and Suqin naturally followed closely.
After such a journey, Danzhi and Suqin couldn't help but smack their tongues in their hearts - such a style of acting is only possible for those big families? Even the Zhennan Wangfu is a little worse than here. Needless to say, let's just talk about those girls, which one is not one in a hundred beauties?
However, both of them also understood that they must not show timidity at this time, and their faces were calm at the moment, they only followed Gu Wanyin, paid attention to Gu Wanyin everywhere, and never looked at them more than they wanted, and said more.
As soon as Gu Wanyin went up to the second floor, her eyes suddenly widened. Unexpectedly, on the second floor, it was set up in the style of a hall, and the surrounding area was not a wall, but like a pavilion in the air, only covered with light veils, and when you looked out, you could actually take in the scenery everywhere. No wonder, this is Tianzi No. 1.
And on the huge second floor, there is only one screen, and then there are no other furnishings around, Gu Wanyin guesses that the banquet is set behind the screen.
Before Gu Wanyin could make the next move, she heard a pleasant female voice coming from behind the screen: "But the princess of Zhennan has arrived?" The voice is not only soft and pleasant, but also has a sense of déjà vu.
Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, and replied in a generous voice: "It's the concubine." ”
As she spoke, she slowly walked towards the screen.
I only heard that voice seemed to be a little happy, and said busily: "Come and sit down, I have been waiting for the princess for a long time." ”
Gu Wanyin didn't answer again, her steps remained the same, she still walked unhurriedly, maintaining a dignified demeanor. It was only a few steps, and soon she was bypassing the screen. I saw that behind the screen, there was indeed a table of eight immortals, on both sides of the table, there was a chair on each side, and on one of them, there was already a beautiful woman in a pale red palace dress.
Gu Wanyin only glanced at it, then paused, and then bowed down slowly, and said simply: "The concubine is a concubine and the fourth princess is to say goodbye." ”
That's right, that palace beauty is the fourth princess who had a relationship with Gu Wanyin in the palace. If it wasn't for the four princesses, I'm afraid that Gu Wanyin would not be the princess of Zhennan at this time, but the side concubine of the four princes.
"Hurry up, please." The fourth princess pursed her lips and smiled, and said very kindly: "I just want to make a friend, you don't need to be so polite, otherwise what's the fun of being too restrained?" I heard that your maiden name is Wanyin, so why don't I call you Wanyin. Come, Wanyin, come and sit down. ”
Gu Wanyin smiled lightly, as if she was a little shy. However, he also sat down in accordance with the wishes of the four princesses.
"What's the view like here?" The fourth princess waited for her to sit down, and then opened her mouth softly, completely chatting: "I like the scenery here the most, compared to the palace, it is not much better." But it's much more comfortable than in the palace, so I chose to meet you here. I hope we don't be too constrained. You say, don't you? ”
Looking at the smiling gaze of the four princesses, Gu Wanyin lowered her eyes and looked docile: "The four princesses are extremely right. The scenery here is much more exquisite than that of the concubine's house, but it has opened the concubine's eyes. In the past, the concubine had never seen such a delicate and beautiful garden. ”
When the fourth princess heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, but the smile on her face became a little bigger: "I heard that this garden is the princess's mansion of a princess from the previous dynasty. Later, after the change of dynasty, it was resold to the owner of the current Defu Building, and after several repairs, it has such a refinement. ”
Gu Wanyin's face showed a hint of abruptness, and she nodded again and again: "It turned out to be the Princess's Mansion, no wonder it is so exquisite." ”
The fourth princess swept the table, her brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and she reprimanded in a deep voice: "Why are you so blind? I talk to the princess, why don't you know how to pour tea? Do we want to do it ourselves? Such an eyeless thing will be thrown out sooner or later! ”
The girl who was swept by the eyes of the four princesses suddenly came forward to admit her mistake in fear: "It's the slave's fault, and I ask the princess to spare the slave and maid this time!" ”
However, the fourth princess glared coldly: "Go and ask the princess for the guilt, if she forgives you, I won't pursue it." ”
The girl naturally didn't dare to slack off, and apologized to Gu Wanyin again.
Gu Wanyin frowned, and glanced at the four princesses pleadingly: "Actually, it's not a big deal, the four princesses don't need to be so angry-"
When the girl heard her say this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly poured tea for her, and respectfully retreated.
The fourth princess sighed, and said with some emotion: "These girls, one by one, don't have the eyesight to see, and they don't know how to judge the situation, it's really a headache." One day, I'm going to change them all. ”
Gu Wanyin listened quietly, but her heart jumped a little. The words of the four princesses...... It seems to have a deep meaning.
But since the fourth prince was going to play dumb riddles, she also pretended not to hear it, just listened with a decent smile, and didn't say a word, without the slightest intention of interjecting in response.
The fourth princess frowned, as if she was unhappy and disappeared in a flash. But soon the fourth princess smiled again: "By the way, the snacks and tea here are also a must, Wanyin, you can taste it." The voice reverted to its kind and gentle appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Wanyin nodded, obediently picked up the tea and took a sip, then raised her eyebrows in surprise: "This tea is very different from the ones that concubines drink on weekdays-" Tea is indeed good tea, but it is not unparalleled. It's just that now she doesn't know what to say, and she doesn't want to say more, so she happens to use this tea to make a fuss.
The fourth princess didn't seem to have any meaning, and only introduced with a smile: "This tea is flower tea, and I don't know what ingredients are used to boil it." Naturally, it is different from the tea we usually drink. It is said that this tea also has the effect of beauty and detoxification. I don't know if it's true or not. But no matter what, this camellia is unique, except for this place, the next place can not be drunk. ”
"Oh?" Gu Wanyin sighed in surprise; "That's pretty weird."
The fourth princess smiled slightly, but her smiling eyes seemed to have a deep meaning: "Isn't it?" My sister should seize the opportunity to taste more, after the season, this tea is not this taste.;
