Chapter 194: Tavern, I'm in Treat!
While visiting Yuanhua, he also finalized the content of the newspaper.
It's a win-win-win
Seeing that things were almost done, Xiang Yan planned to leave.
"Why don't you eat before you leave?"
Princess Yuanhua made a reservation.
Xiang Yan looked at the table next to his seat, he had been here for so long, and he didn't give him any tea.
Does this retention really want to keep Xiang Yan for dinner, or is it just a casual politeness?
Xiang Yan was a little unsure.
So Xiang Yan decided to take the initiative.
"What's the point of eating at home every day."
"My third aunt, the one who opened the Yuxiang Building, listened to my suggestion before and built a tavern with a main style."
"Let's go, I'll take you over there to have a while, and have a meal by the way."
Princess Yuanhua was a little hesitant:
"This ...... Not good. ”
"As a princess, I have to take care of the royal face in everything I do."
"If I go in and out of that kind of frivolous place, my father will know about it, and I have to scold me."
"And if a woman casually shows up before leaving the cabinet, I'm afraid she will be discussed, and she will not abide by women's morals after being discussed."
Xiang Yan suddenly smiled:
"To whom do you show this woman's way?"
"If you go out drinking alone, then no one is really at ease."
"But as your future husband, I took you to the tavern of my third aunt's family, which I know well, so what can happen?"
"I don't care about this man, what do you care."
"As for the royal face......
"Then dress up a little bit so that no one can tell that you're a princess."
Seeing that Princess Yuanhua was still hesitating, Xiang Yan persuaded again:
"Aren't you bored staying in this princess's mansion every day?"
"To be honest, I finally have time to come over once, if you don't hang out with me this time, I don't know how long it will be next time."
"In this way, I promise to take you out, and I will definitely send you back, except for going to the toilet, I won't let you out of my sight."
"With a future husband looking at you, you have to rest assured."
Princess Yuanhua was finally moved by Xiang Yan's words.
Promised to accompany him to dinner.
But I still said in advance, I only eat, and I don't drink alcohol.
And later, you will go out in a carriage, and then the carriage will drive into the right prime minister's mansion.
Then slip out through the back door of the right prime minister's mansion.
Let others think that she is going to the right minister's mansion as a guest, and you must not let people know that she is running to the tavern.
Xiang Yan felt that Princess Yuanhua seemed to be gradually starting to be a little obedient to herself, and she was very happy in her heart, so she naturally agreed.
When the carriage drove out of the princess's mansion, it entered the right minister's mansion.
Princess Yuanhua branched out the entourage and came to the back door as planned.
But I didn't expect to meet Xiang Yuyue here.
Because of Princess Yuanhua's change of clothes, and Xiang Yuyue hadn't seen Yuanhua a few times, she didn't recognize it at the first time.
So Xiang Yuyue glanced at Xiang Yan curiously and asked:
"Didn't you go to the Princess's Mansion? Why did you go out and bring a woman back? ”
"Which little lady is this, she doesn't look bad."
"Stealing people behind Princess Yuanhua's back, you are, and you're not afraid to let her know, sue the emperor and the emperor will handle you when the time comes?"
Xiang Yan deliberately stepped forward to block Princess Yuanhua behind.
If you want to say that he wants to kidnap the princess out of the matter the most he wants to know, this second aunt who jumped out is definitely one.
But since I met it, I just explained to her what I thought in the princess's mansion before, and I wanted her to be a reporter.
Xiang Yuyue, who thought that she didn't want to work all day long and just wanted to be bad, would be dissatisfied when she heard that Xiang Yan had assigned her tasks again.
But I didn't expect that this time she was very interested, saying that listening to gossip was the most interesting.
"Xiang Yan, you are really a talent, how could I not have imagined that there is such a usage in the secret door!"
Then Xiang Yuyue, whose soul of gossip was burning, took Xiang Yanxin's new assignment with high interest and went down to get busy.
Princess Yuanhua hid behind Xiang Yan and didn't dare to take a breath.
After Xiang Yuyue left, he said curiously.
"The way you get along with your family is quite peculiar."
Xiang Yan laughed and said:
"The way we get along with the family of ordinary people must be different from the relationship between your royal family. It's normal for you to feel peculiar. ”
After going out of the right prime minister's house, it was a coincidence.
I happened to meet another mask seller on the street.
So Yuan Hua pestered Xiang Yan and bought her a fox demon mask.
After putting on the mask, Yuan Hua's tense heart also relaxed.
gradually began to talk and laugh with Xiang Yan.
When she arrived at the tavern, Xiang Yan did not alarm the third aunt Xiang Yuxia, but took Yuan Hua into a low-key corner to find a remote corner and a place with a screen to sit in.
This so-called tavern Xiang Yuxia is really good.
In terms of daylighting, natural and artificial light complement each other perfectly, not very bright but not dark, creating a quiet and cosy atmosphere.
There was also a "band" in the tavern.
A light melody lingers in this environment.
The sound of music does not make the tavern too quiet.
It is not so loud that it interferes with the conversation of the guests.
There are not many people in the tavern, because the people who can come to this place to consume are all high-quality guests selected by Xiang Yuxia, so they will recommend this place to them.
The environment with few people further relaxed Yuanhua.
So she took off the fox mask she was wearing.
She seemed to be very satisfied with this place, looked around, and then said to Xiang Yan:
"It's not like the tavern I imagined, there are no shirtless drunken and loud customers, and there is no mixed sight."
"On the contrary, the guests here have a very cultured feeling."
Xiang Yan smiled and said:
"The idea I came up with and took the route of high-end consumption places naturally couldn't be bad."
While the two were talking, the waiter brought the menu.
This also made Princess Yuanhua feel very fresh.
Because in the ancient social environment, there was no such thing as a menu in places like taverns and restaurants.
Order whatever you want to eat, or rely on Xiao Er's recommendation.
But Xiang Yan considered that the title of "Little Er" and the behavior of shouting and recommending would conflict with the atmosphere of this environment.
So the suggestion to Xiang Yuxia is to change the title of Xiao Er to a waiter.
Then the waiter should not take the initiative to talk to the guests too much, abandon the enthusiasm of Xiao Er, and adopt the service mode of handing the menu and answering the guests when they ask.
And the selection of waiters can't be as rough as looking for Xiao Er.
It is necessary to select some people with high personal qualities to play the role.
It is best to find those who have retired from the high-end prince's mansion or the home of a high-ranking official.
This fits in with the atmosphere created in the tavern.
Seeing that Princess Yuanhua was curious, Xiang Yan took the initiative to push the menu to her.
"I'm in for a treat, you're welcome, just order."
