Chapter 52: The Tea Garden
After a long night, Wanyue was unconscious, and she couldn't drive Yinqi away at this time, so she had to pouted and continued to lie down and rest.
When Yinqi got up, Wanyue fell asleep again, Yinqi couldn't bear to disturb her sleep, so she had to get dressed herself, and when she arrived in the study, she asked Steward Yan to serve him to wash.
When Wanyue woke up, it was already dawn, and she was the only one left in the room.
"Someone." Wanyue raised her hand and rubbed her head, which was still a little dizzy, and shouted outside the room.
But after a while, the door was pushed open, and Mama Wang walked in quickly, and said softly: "Miss, you are awake, you have slept for a long time." ”
"Maybe I slept a little longer because I drank last night." Wanyue put down the hand that was rubbing her head, then propped herself on the edge of the bed, and got up and stood up.
Mama Wang looked at Wanyue's somewhat tired look, pulled the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help asking, "Does that young lady know that Lord Belle was resting in your house last night?" ”
"Ahh Wanyue pretended to be surprised and replied, but she didn't care, since she was drunk last night, she pretended not to know that Lord Belle was resting in her room last night.
Mama Wang's face was vague after hearing this, and she didn't know whether the young lady knew or not.
As soon as she finished serving Wanyue to wash, Yudan came in with Wanyue's breakfast, and she had specially reheated the dining room, so it was just right to eat at this time.
After the old man finished the morning court at the Qianqing Gate, he specially left a few princes who were now dealing with political affairs to the Qianqing Palace to listen to the training.
However, he didn't say much, just looked at a few princes who were already married, and thought about hearing from Concubine Yi about the fifth elder brother's concubine Fujin being pregnant for several months, so he couldn't help but glance at Yinqi sideways.
The old man sat on the dragon chair and took a sip of tea, and then asked lightly: "Fifth elder brother, your family Fujin should be about to give birth, right?" ”
"Qiqi Emperor Ama, there are still more than two months before the delivery date." Yinqi looked at the old man, smiled and replied bluntly.
"Oh, the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother have sons-in-law, and you are both married in the same year, so you have to work hard." The old man looked at Yinqi and nodded with satisfaction.
Then the old man seemed to remember something again, and continued to speak: "Although you are now married, you must not waste your studies, don't only learn Manchu and Mongolian, you still have to learn Chinese, you have to learn more from your elder brothers, even your younger brother Jiu Elder Brother has more than you."
The old man said while regretting a little, maybe he shouldn't have sent Yinqi to the queen mother in the first place, otherwise Yinqi would not be at the bottom of the princes now.
The other princes listened to the old man's words, and couldn't help but smile slightly, Yinqi lowered his face, and the old man said that he was hurting.
After a long time, Yinqi replied faintly: "The sons and daughters listen to the emperor Ama, and they will definitely continue to learn Chinese and strive to be on par with the brothers." ”
Yinqi said this without confidence at all, he was raised by the grandmother of the Queen Mother since he was a child, and the grandmother of the Queen Mother taught him to learn Mongolian since he was a child, and later learned Manchu when he went to the study.
As for Chinese, the Queen Mother's grandmother never let him learn, mainly because it was too difficult to learn, just now the old man praised the ninth brother, he was actually quite envious of the ninth brother, the ninth brother has been raised by Eniang's side since he was a child, and more importantly, the ninth brother's language talent is very good, and he is only fifteen years old this year, and he already knows Manchu, Mongolian, Chinese, Italian, and even the ninth brother of Russian, who is extremely difficult to pronounce.
"Recently, there have not been many political affairs, so I will give a few of you three months off to accompany your wife in the mansion and prolong the heirs for the royal family." The old man smiled, if he didn't let the fifth elder brother rest, he was afraid that Concubine Yi would find her to make trouble again, saying that he didn't feel sorry for his son.
Several princes couldn't help but widen their eyes, especially the crown prince, who was usually closely watched by Huang Amma, but he didn't expect to hear that Huang Ama was going to give them a three-month vacation today, and they couldn't help but feel a little incredulous.
In the Xinuan Pavilion of Baylor Mansion, it was already noon, and Wan Yue propped her head on the rosewood table with her right hand and pondered.
Wanyue remembered that the opera troupe she invited yesterday sang very well, and Wanyue thought that if a teahouse and a tea garden integrating the theater were opened in Beijing, it would not only allow the people to watch the drama in the teahouse, but also satisfy the nobles of the Jingshi Palace to spend money to invite the troupe to act.
In addition, the tea garden is also a good place to find out the news, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
Wanyue said that she would do it, and immediately asked Yudan to polish the ink for herself after thinking about it, and she picked up the pen and paper and planned carefully.
Site selection, naming, decoration, inviting a famous troupe, and the recruitment of shopkeepers, Wanyue wrote the plans respectively.
Yinqi, who has gradually become idle, has now spent more time in the house visibly increasing.
As soon as he heard the people in the mansion talk about the fact that the Tara clan was going to open a tea garden, he became interested, and a lot of free time was just right to kill.
Wanyue wanted to invite the best 'North Gate Opera Troupe' in Beijing, but the number of people needed to acquire this troupe made her a little embarrassed, but she didn't expect that at this time, Yinqi came over to join in the fun, saying that he was interested in opening a tea garden, and he could give money.
Such a good thing Wanyue naturally will not refuse, in this way, both tea tasting, enjoy the tea garden has a small prototype, the tea garden private room is placed with mahogany tables and large rattan chairs, itself into a small world, the courtyard is sparse flowers and trees, bamboo leaves are verdant, the scenery is excellent.
Wanyue specially named the tea garden 'Yueminglou Tea Garden', the tea garden was also selected outside the Zhengyang Gate, Yinqi specially purchased a garden that can accommodate more than 1,000 people, the garden building is divided into three floors, the second and third floors are private rooms, and the first floor is arranged with a stage and dozens of tables, chairs and benches.
Yueminglou Tea Garden is scheduled to open on the first day of the seventh month, Yinqi and Wanyue in order to keep a low profile, both of them wore regular clothes to the tea garden, as soon as they entered the tea garden, Wanyue saw a very spacious stage, which can bring wonderful enjoyment to the audience.
Yin Qi couldn't help but be proud, "How about it, I let people get this stage good." ”
Wanyue was very satisfied, and nodded at Yinqi with a sideways look, the seats in the tea garden seemed to be full, and the shopkeeper and the guys were very busy.
After a while, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper found that the two proprietors were coming, and hurriedly took them to the reserved gold-lettered private room on the second floor, and after arranging for the two to sit down, he said with a smile on his face: "The two proprietors, please wait a moment, I will immediately ask the guy to serve tea to the two." ”
Wanyue smiled and waved her hand at him: "Okay, hard work, shopkeeper Wang." ”
Yinqi raised his eyes and looked at the stage on the first floor, Wanyue glanced at him, Lord Belle seems to be a favorite of watching dramas in his previous life and in his present life, in his previous life, he bought two opera troupes and raised them in the house, and he either listened to the drama or accompanied the seventh brother to wander around all day, and he simply didn't want to be idle.
At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded, the play had already started, the audience was full of joy, and the mood of the people watching the play was very high, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Wanyue had no choice but to turn back to her thoughts and set her sights on the first floor, the show was always fascinating and unstoppable.
Some of the people watching the play on the first floor sat cross-legged, knocking melon seeds in one hand and drinking tea in the other, and their bodies occasionally swayed with the play.
There is a play list on each table for the audience to choose, and the artists singing on the stage are very hard-working, and the play is gradually getting better, and for a while, the audience is full of joy.
Wanyue took a sip of Biluochun, the taste was very sweet, she smiled, now that she has money, it's time to think more about power.
