Jixiang Building, one of the largest restaurants in Beijing, is full of guests today.

The private rooms on the second floor were also booked out early, and the only thing that no one went up at the moment was the suite on the third floor.

The shopkeeper Li separated the large third floor into two separate suites. From the east and west stairs of the backyard directly to the third floor, and the front hall including the private room on the second floor is not the same staircase, and it is unlikely that there will be a mistake of a guest on the second floor to enter the third floor by the wrong floor. Even on the third floor, these two suites, which are very different styles, are separate and do not disturb each other.

The two suites on the third floor are the design drafts of Lu Yangge's paintings. There is a living room, a private lounge and a dining room.

Elegant Chinese style, dignified atmosphere, rich and pressing, in addition to the precious calligraphy, painting and antiques, there are also flowers and plants that are very difficult to see in winter, the whole space is quiet and quiet, and the warm fragrance hits people.

Under his feet was a thick blanket of velvet, and a bright candle was lit in a glass lamp hanging overhead.

In the living room, there are mahogany sofa chairs, surrounded by a mahogany coffee table, and it is very convenient for more than a dozen people to talk and drink tea. On the balcony on the side, there is another square table and four chairs, which is more suitable for three or two friends to enjoy the scenery and chat.

The private living room has a bed, a cloakroom, and a clean hand room. The most surprising thing is the huge dining room that can accommodate about 20 people without looking crowded, with seasonal flowers and plants placed in the middle of the round turntable table, and a very small rockery, and the welcome pine on the rockery sticks out diagonally, becoming a scene of the restaurant.

In the suite on the third floor, not to mention eating, you can live here for ten days and half a month. There is no shortage of facilities inside.

Shopkeeper Li led Lu Yang Ge to take a closer look at several of the three rooms in the suite, and did not stop at the large round table in the dining room, but went to the small side hall separated by the screen, where there was a slightly smaller square table, which was used for guests to drink tea and wipe cards on weekdays.

Fish head belly soup in open oven, stewed mutton, salted goose and fresh bamboo shoots......

Everything on the square table is a delicacy in the winter season, and it is also the specialty of the chef of Jixianglou.

Shopkeeper Li and Lu Yangge sat opposite each other, chatting while eating, and there was not even a single person left to wait, and there was only the sound of two people talking on the entire third floor.

"The east hall has been set a long time ago, otherwise I would have taken you to see it. There's not as much variety as here, but the pattern is pretty much the same as here. ”

There are many kinds of tricks that Shopkeeper Li said, that is, the round and rotatable tray dining table that appears here, as well as the long wooden sofa chairs. Everything in the West Hall is a product of this era, which is not obtrusive, but also more refined in materials.

Dignitaries and princes and ladies preferred the East Hall to the West Hall, and the young people in the capital, including those merchants who could make a name for themselves in the capital, were more receptive to new things and preferred to entertain guests in the West Hall.

However, if you want to set up a private room on the second floor in Jixianglou, you can have money and power. But if you want to book one of the two suites on the third floor, it is no longer just a treatment that can only be enjoyed by money and power.

Of course, there are the merits of Song Yunfei and Tang Qishu here, without them, it would be impossible for Shopkeeper Li to develop to the current point in Beijing.

However, compared with the ruin of the Lu family, what she Lu Yangge has now can only be regarded as a small end.

"There is no news from the palace yet."

Lu Yangge sandwiched another piece of fresh bamboo shoots: "No news is good news." ”

If the third prince dies, then there will definitely be news coming out, which cannot be suppressed.

There is no news, it must be that the third prince is still being treated.

As for the fighting methods between Empress Shen and Concubine Zhou, who loses and who wins, with the connections of Shopkeeper Li, it will definitely not be possible to find out for the time being.

At least, if the three princes don't die, everything will take a turn for the better.

"Little four."

Shopkeeper Li is an old man, and if he doesn't ask about some things, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to.

"With the current financial resources of the Lu family, in fact, you don't need to be involved in these turmoil at all. Power is moving, but it is also like a sharp blade, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may hurt yourself. ”

"Thank you Uncle Li for reminding me, I still have a number of things to do, and I won't go beyond them."

Lu Yangge smiled, her eyes were dark, and no one knew what she was thinking.

As shrewd as the shopkeeper Li, he would not know why she was interested in the things in the imperial city.

Just for power?

No.

Ever since she knew that she was the real Xiao Ge, all she wanted was revenge.

Otherwise, how could she be worthy of her father's heart, and how could she be worthy of her second brother, who gave up her chance to escape in order to save her.

"That's good, that's good." Shopkeeper Li picked up the soup bowl, "You are too small to drink, so Uncle will use this hot soup instead of wine, and wish the virtuous nephew to shine in Beijing, and let me take a piece of the pie." ”

Lu Yangge also picked up the soup bowl, with a sincere smile on his face: "Uncle Li, in the past few years, the restaurant has been managed by you, and it is indeed thriving, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day." But Shangjia has never been looked up to, if we want the Li family and the Lu family to go further, we can't be controlled by others, we must have support and bargaining chips. ”

"What do you mean......"

Shopkeeper Li remembered that Lu Yangge asked him to investigate, the tavern teahouse is a place where news is concentrated, as long as he wants to investigate, there will always be news that he doesn't know.

But the little fourth of the Lu family paid more attention than he imagined, he paid attention not only to the newly promoted princes and ministers in Beijing, but also to the ninety-five lords in the imperial city, including everything in the harem.

And what he means by speaking now......

Shopkeeper Li lowered his voice and cautiously tested: "You mean, Lichu?" ”

Lu Yangge smiled lightly, and only asked: "Uncle Li, dare to give it a try?" ”

The dazzling brilliance in the eyes of the young man is young, self-confidence, and the fearlessness of the newborn calf.

Under such a gaze, Shopkeeper Li's heart surged, and he couldn't help himself for a while.

From the time he entered Beijing and Lu Xiaosi asked him to inquire about all kinds of news, he thought about what Lu Xiaosi wanted these news for.

Lu Xiaosi inquired about these news, and the most likely thing was to get useful information through the news.

They are just businessmen, and being able to open a store in the capital, and having the Zhenguo Mansion and the Hou Mansion as the backstage is already the limit that Shopkeeper Li can imagine.

What does Lu Xiaosi want to inquire about the news?

Shopkeeper Li thought a lot, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaosi to think more out of line than he thought, he actually wanted to contribute to the establishment of the reserve, and then get the monstrous glory and wealth?

If so......

Shopkeeper Li thought of his two young grandsons at home, and thought of his transition from a poor boy in the countryside of Yangzhou to the owner of dozens of restaurants today.

What would he not dare.

Shopkeeper Li's face flushed, and when he thought of this, he immediately continued: "Of course you dare, why don't you dare." ”

"Okay, Uncle Li is really atmospheric." Lu Yang Ge smiled at Yan Yan, but the words he said were amazing: "However, the reserve can be abolished, if you want everyone to be safe and worry-free, it is better to ......"

What is not as good as what?

With a "pop", the soup bowl that Lu Biao had drunk in the singer shattered, and pieces of broken porcelain scattered.

Shopkeeper Li was dumbfounded, and only felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys had been hit by an invisible crit.

This...... This idea is too bold.

If it doesn't work, then it's not too much to destroy the nine clans.

Lu Yangge raised his eyes: "Uncle Li, do you dare?" ”

Li Guangming was arrogant: "Dare! ”
