Chapter 44 Hechang Building

"Have you eaten?" Su Shi asked enthusiastically, "I'll invite you to dinner." ”

"I've eaten it." Qin Yue said with a dark face.

He could see that Su Shi was very happy, but the happier Su Shi was, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

Su Shi smiled: "It doesn't matter if you've eaten, I'll be the east at noon, what do you want to eat?" Then his heart moved, and he continued: "How is Hechang Building?" ”

"Hechang Building is very good."

Su Shi said with a smile: "Then it will be set at Hechang Building at noon today." ”

"I'm not going." Qin Yue said lightly.

"Why?" Su Shi frowned: "Didn't you say that Hechanglou is good?" ”

Qin Yue sighed and said, "Hechanglou is very good, but if you want to dine there, you must make a reservation three days in advance, if you go so rashly, no one will pay attention to you at all." ”

Su Shi touched his nose and wondered: "Is Hechanglou's business really so good?" Also book three days in advance. ”

However, he was still a little unwilling, and continued: "Anyway, today is idle, why don't you go to Yong'an Fang together, maybe someone has booked in Hechang Building, but because there is something temporary, I can't come." ”

Qin Yue was noncommittal about Su Shi's behavior of picking up leaks, but he still followed Su Shi to Yong'an Fang.

The reason why he followed Su Shi was because the three-day period had arrived, and until now, he still hadn't been able to face Su Shi's couplet.

Although Qin Nan's mind has already been decided, it doesn't matter to her whether she has the next link or not.

However, Qin Yue was not optimistic about Su Shi, so when he learned from Kong Wenshun that Su Shi had a lower link, and he was willing to give it to Qin Nan unconditionally, he had a different mind.

And the reason why Su Shi had to invite Qin Yue to dinner was naturally to know Qin Nan's mind from Qin Yue's mouth.

Although he could already guess seven or eight times out of ten from Qin Yue's attitude, wouldn't it be better if he could get Qin Yue's personal confirmation.

So they came to Yong'an Fang together.

Wing On Fang has two characteristics.

One feature is big, the other is expensive.

As the first square in the capital, Yong'an Fang has an area at least twice as large as other squares.

Because it is the first square in the capital, most of the shops in Yong'an Square are also the first in the capital.

The first restaurant in the capital - Hechang Building;

The No. 1 jewelry store in Beijing - Bai Yutang

The first treasure store in the capital - Jinzhu Mansion

The first rouge shop in the capital - Yujun Pavilion

The first silk village in the capital - Ruihexiang

……

Since it is the first in the capital, the things sold in these stores are very expensive, and the price is unimaginable.

Su Shi naturally came to Yong'an Fang before, but he didn't come many times, and after coming once, he wouldn't set foot in Yong'an Fang again for at least three months.

Passing by Baiyutang, Su Shi took a fancy to a filigree enamel inlaid butterfly hairpin, but when the guy told him the price in the gentlest manner, Su Shi looked at the hairpin in shock.

One thousand taels of silver.

A hairpin of one thousand taels, Su Shi stared straight at this hairpin and kept sighing.

With a sigh, Su Shi walked out of the white jade hall with the guy's slightly disdainful gaze.

Qin Yue and Lin Mo didn't go in, they had been waiting for him outside the door, and when they saw him sneaking out, Qin Yue asked, "Is there anything you like?" ”

"Yes."

Qin Yue looked at his empty hands and said with a smile: "Why didn't you buy it?" ”

Su Shi glanced at him: "I'm not a fool. Hairpins in other places sold for a maximum of fifty taels of silver. ”

"Bai Yutang's things are indeed very expensive, but it is reasonable to be expensive."

Su Shi admitted that Qin Yue's words were also very reasonable.

This hairpin is absolutely first-class in terms of texture, workmanship, and inlaid gemstones, so this price is really not expensive.

"So if you want to make girls happy, it's better to choose Bai Yutang."

Although Qin Yue didn't go in, the hairpin that Su Shi chose was obviously a women's one, and he also vaguely guessed who Su Shi wanted to buy it for.

Su Shi smiled bitterly and said: "I also know the truth, but I am in a hurry today, and I only have one hundred taels on me." ”

"Only a hundred taels?"

Su Shi sighed: "One hundred taels is not less. ”

One hundred taels of silver is already a lot for many people, and the vast majority of people can't earn a hundred taels a year.

"I know."

Qin Yue is not that kind of gentleman, and Qin Zhidao's family education is very strict, so now his pocket money is only ten taels of silver every month.

Then he sighed again: "But you said that you are the east today." ”

Su Shi said sincerely: "So don't be polite to me today." ”

Qin Yue smiled bitterly: "If you want to invite me to eat in Hechang Building, I don't think you can be polite." ”

Su Shi looked at him suspiciously: "Why?" ”

"Because a hundred taels of silver can only order a maximum of three dishes in Hechang Building, and it is the kind that looks exquisite, but it is just a snack before a meal."

Su Shi was taken aback, because one hundred taels could almost buy a few tables of banquets in other restaurants, but in Hechang Building, he could only eat snacks before meals.

Hechang Building is not far from Baiyutang, Su Shi stood in front of Baiyutang, and could already see the eaves of Hechanglou.

"Actually, we don't necessarily have to eat in Hechang Building, and you didn't make a reservation in advance, so you can't eat today."

Seeing Su Shi with a sad face, Qin Yue said understandingly.

Su Shi thought about it and said with a smile: "Let's go and have a look." ”

Qin Yue looked at him suspiciously, because he didn't understand why Su Shi had to go to Hechang Tower, because even if he got to Hechang Tower, what could he do?

The General's Mansion does have a prestige, but if Su Shi wants to use his power to force Hechanglou to submit, then he can only bring humiliation on himself.

Because in front of Hechanglou, not to mention the General's Mansion, even the Guogong Mansion must abide by its rules.

However, Su Shi didn't explain, and walked straight towards Hechang Tower, and Qin Yue and Lin Mo only followed him.

When they came to Hechang Tower, it was already noon, and when they saw the three of them, a small servant had already greeted them.

Because from the eyes of the little guy, as soon as I saw Su Shi and Qin Yue's outfits, I knew that they were not ordinary people, and ordinary people would not come to Hechang Tower at all.

It's just that when he saw the little guy coming up, Qin Yue was already far away from Su Shi, as if he didn't know Su Shi, because he really didn't want to be embarrassed.

The little guy looked at Qin Yue a little strangely, because he had never seen this kind of scene, and the guests who were originally together were actually hiding far away.

However, he still looked at Su Shi very politely, lowered his body and asked humbly, "How many sons?" ”

He wanted to ask if it was the three guests, but seeing that Qin Yue was far away, he didn't dare to be sure.

"Three."

"I don't know which room Childe booked?"

Su Shi smiled: "On a whim, we haven't made a reservation yet, I don't know if there are any rooms now?" ”
