Chapter 79: Eavesdropping
Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin only brought two secret guards and Lingyu, and they traveled lightly, and they had already arrived at the door of the teahouse in a short time.
A three-storey small building standing on the side of the busiest and busiest street in the East City, Suncheon Teahouse is one of the best teahouses in Kyoto, and the people who come and go are all in Kyoto.
Xiao Er, who welcomed the guests, was very eye-catching, although he felt that these two people were faceless, but he could see from the bearing of the two of them that these two were by no means ordinary people, so his attitude was very respectful and polite: "Two distinguished guests, please come in, can you have a place to sit often, and the little one will take the two of you?" ”
Gu Baiyu turned his head to look at Xiao Yanlin.
She has been to the Shuntian Teahouse, but she is not a frequent visitor, after all, she is a woman in the boudoir;
But looking at this little er's attitude towards Xiao Yanlin, it seems that he is not a frequent visitor here?
This is strange, Shuntian Teahouse is the favorite place for Kyoto's nouveau riche, Xiao Yanlin has an extraordinary identity, and there is no private room?
Xiao Yanlin was indifferent: "Go to the third floor, Lord Lin Yi's private room, if he comes another day, he will say that my surname is Xiao." ”
After hearing this, Xiao Er's expression was grim.
Don't look at him as just a little second to welcome guests, but this position is not something that anyone can do, you must know that the little two who greet guests at the door of such a teahouse must be sleek and interesting, and the mind must be lively, and most importantly, the dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto must have a thorough understanding, so as not to offend people when the guests enter the door.
This Lord Lin Yi, of course Xiao Er knows who it is, a general with a military rank in the army, and Lin Yi's friend is also surnamed Xiao......
Then there was only one person.
Xiao Er's expression changed suddenly, if the attitude just now, with a little politeness and pleasing in respect, then now, it has become absolute respect, and a little awe.
"Two distinguished guests, please come with the little one."
The two entered the teahouse under the guidance of Xiao Er.
The first floor is full of guests, the food is fragrant, and it is a good place to eat: the second floor is quiet, there is a delicate partition between the seats, suitable for drinking tea, and there is a stage for performance in the center.
The third floor of the Suncheon Tea House is a private room frequented by distinguished guests.
When he went upstairs, the little two kept walking beside the two of them, slightly half a step behind, bowed sideways, and was extremely humble.
Gu Baiyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was worthy of being the No. 1 teahouse in Kyoto, and a welcoming little two had become a human spirit.
After Xiao Er welcomed the two into the box and asked about the dishes they needed, he left respectfully.
Gu Baiyu sat down and looked around, and said, "Master Hou doesn't have his own box?" ”
Xiao Yanlin sat beside Gu Baiyu, sitting upright, even in such a place, the slaughter of a soldier could not hide it: "People in the army don't like to come to this kind of place to discuss matters. The camp tent in the army, or my study, is much safer. ”
Gu Baiyu nodded: "Then this private room should be next door to the second prince, right?" ”
Although it is a question sentence, the tone is very firm.
Xiao Yanlin raised his eyebrows slightly, and did not hide the appreciation in his eyes: "Smart." ”
Gu Baiyu smiled faintly.
It's not difficult to guess, since Xiao Yanlin said that people in the army don't like to come to this kind of place, then there must be a reason for the existence of this box, not so much Lin Yi's box, but Xiao Yanlin borrowed Lin Yi's name.
And why Xiao Yanlin wants to get a long-term box here, and why he suddenly wants to come over today, there is only one possibility, this box is related to the second prince.
Gu Baiyu got an affirmative answer, couldn't help but get up, looked left and right, and asked, "Which side is it?" ”
The box on the third floor of this Shuntian Tea House is a neat two rows, and what Gu Baiyu asked is where the second prince's box is.
Xiao Yanlin pointed to the left.
Gu Baiyu leaned closer and listened with his ears pricked up.
I listened to it for a long time, but I didn't hear anything.
Also, since it is a place to talk about things, it is naturally impossible to be spied on so easily.
Gu Baiyu was a little deflated: "Master Hou, I can't hear anything." ”
Xiao Yanlin hooked a little smile on his lips, this kind of Gu Baiyu is really cute, like a dejected rabbit, it seems that even his white ears are drooping.
Gu Baiyu was only depressed for a while, and then rubbed to Xiao Yanlin's side: "Master Hou has internal strength, he must be able to hear it, right?" ”
Xiao Yanlin looked at her with a smile: "Of course." ”
Gu Baiyu immediately went to pull his arm, "Then what are you waiting for, Master Hou quickly eavesdrop on what they are saying!" ”
Xiao Yanlin took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "I'll listen to it for you, what's the benefit?" ”
"Huh?"
Gu Baiyu was dumbfounded, Xiao Yanlin brought her here, didn't she just come to see what Gu Ruan Ruan and the second prince were going to do?
"Don't you want to know?"
"You can ask Ruoyun later."
Also, if Xiao Yan asked, Xiao Ruoyun would not dare to hide it, but ......
Gu Baiyu felt a little disappointed, she rushed over with interest, thinking that there would be something fun, such as eavesdropping, such as watching the excitement......
Lingyu on the side saw the loss on Gu Baiyu's face clearly, and secretly shook her head in her heart.
Her young lady began to "get sick" again.
Don't look at Gu Baiyu who is usually dignified and generous, but she has served by Gu Baiyu's side for many years, and she knows Gu Baiyu the best, but in fact, Gu Baiyu is far from being as well-behaved as she seems on the surface.
Her young lady's heart is sometimes wilted, of course, without destroying her own well-behaved image.
Now, maybe there is one more more, with Xiao Yanlin's backer, Gu Baiyu's temperament is getting more and more lively, and Lingyu even feels that she can get along for a while......
Gu Baiyu was in front of Xiao Yanlin, and I was afraid that he would not be able to hold back that well-behaved skin.
What Lingyu can see, Xiao Yanlin can of course see it, and it was just a joke just now.
He beckoned to Gu Baiyu, who was a little lost, "Come here." ”
Gu Baiyu immediately swept away the loss on his face: "I know that Hou Ye is the best!" ”
Obviously, it was all pretended just now.
Lingyu wanted to speak on the side, but glanced at Xiao Yanlin, who looked doting next to her.....
Forget it, the husband and wife are playing with spears, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, what is she worried about!
And after Xiao Yanlin moved Gu Baiyu to his side, he grabbed her waist with one hand, and waved the other hand towards the window, and the window opened silently.
Xiao Yan was in good luck, holding Gu Baiyu in one hand, and jumped out of the window.
Lingyu was stunned, then anxiously threw herself to the window.
She is not afraid of falling Gu Baiyu, isn't there still Xiao Yan, she is anxious that Xiao Er's dishes have not come up yet, and after a while, people will come, and there is only a little maid like her in the box.
When Lingyu threw herself to the window and looked down, she saw that behind the Shuntian Teahouse was an uninhabited alley, and it was empty below;
Looking further to the left, I saw that Xiao Yanlin didn't know how to do it, only two fingers lightly buckled on the gap in the wall of the room on the left, and with one foot on the brick, he could hang safely in the air and the window of the box on the left, which looked very thrilling.
And Gu Baiyu obviously felt that such a situation was quite scary, and he had long been unable to care about dignified etiquette, and he was entangled around Xiao Yanlin like an octopus.
