Chapter 99 Ingenuit, in charge of the teahouse

According to Yijing's speculation, I'm afraid that this behind-the-scenes black man is not really among Qin Sanniang and Jin Liuniang.

This matter is too risky, and it is very likely that both sides will lose. If the truth is not found out, it will be difficult for Qin Sanniang or Jin Liuniang to clear the suspicion, but this truth is really difficult to break.

It is not only two people who are suspected. The maids of honor in the attic can avoid people's eyes and ears.

This is obviously the Queen's arrangement, but the purpose is not to plant a trap.

Huang Wuniang was really lucky. She was the first to put the pen on hold, so she was not implicated. If Qin Sanniang was the first to leave the cabinet, then the person who quarreled with Jin Liuniang must be Huang Wuniang.

Thinking about it, the Empress is very sure that Jin Liuniang will not be the first person to leave the cabinet.

First, because Jin Liuniang's painting skills are not as good as the other two. Second, even if Jin Liuniang played abnormally that day, the Empress will find a way to delay her. As long as she is not the first to come out, it doesn't matter whether she is the last one.

Among the three little women, only Jin Liu Niang came from a noble family and was finally slightly domineering, while Jin Liu Niang was still famous for her sharp teeth.

Whether Huang Wuniang or Qin Sanniang argues with her, it is bound to fall behind.

And in order to clear her name, Jin Liuniang will certainly not show mercy.

The purpose of the queen is to show Jin Liuniang's domineering and attract people's attention. In this way, she has an excuse to deny her qualification to become a prince concubine based on the shortcomings of Jin Liuniang's virtuous and gentleness.

The Empress Dowager has always been disgusted with domineering women.

Of course, what happened later was that the Empress Dowager secretly cooperated, deliberately letting Qin Sanniang come out first, and then forced Jin Liuniang to cry.

In any case, crying at the palace banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival is also out of honor. Of course, a woman who doesn't even know this rule is not suitable for a princess. What's more, there are those rumors that Jin Liuniang is "crying sick" the Empress Dowager.

No one will pay attention to who ruined the painting.

Yijing figured out the key points, and was more sure that the emperor had made up his mind to deal with the Kim family.

And Huang Jiangyue doesn't seem to want to mention more about this: "Jing, I'm also feel at ease when I see that you are safe, so it's not easy to go out. You have to accompany me for a few rounds... Speaking of this, I remembered one thing. Last time I met Yu Erlang against Yi, I was defeated by him. I was very unconvinced. He came and let me get this anger out. Jiang Yue looked excited.

As soon as Yijing heard Yuzhou's name, he couldn't help frowning and said, "It's really unfortunate that you came today... I told my grandmother earlier that I'm going to Shumei Building later. I'm afraid that the car is ready now."

Before the eldest princess's birthday, she intended to familiarize Meijing with the common affairs, and Su Lian took responsibility again. She was in charge of the rich "dowry" at hand, so she asked Yijing to choose a shop and learn to be in charge. Yijing has only been to Shumei Tower and also likes the elegant style there. Besides, she also knows a little about tea art, so she chose it. That place, so these days, the income and expenditure and chores of Shumei Building have been handed over to Yinjing. For this reason, Yinjing also has many opportunities to go out.

Today, she made an appointment to meet Du Yuniang in Shumei Building. She must not miss the appointment.

Of course, Huang Jiangyue was disappointed: "You girl, you are too unrighteous. I came all the way to see you, but you had the heart to abandon me."

At present, it is not easy for Huang Jiangyue to come to the Duke of Wei. Naturally, he can't show up in the city.

"I will be back before noon. A Yuemo is annoyed." Yijing had to laugh with him and allowed Huang Jiangyue to give away a picture album that Huang Jiangyue had coveted for a long time. Then Jiang Yue turned his anger into joy and waved his hand over Yijing. He turned against the guest. While reading this collection of lyrics, he ordered Dongyu to serve tea.

Because the marriage between Su Lian and Jia Wenxiang has been decided, the woman to be married can't travel as freely as before. This time, she went to Shumei Tower. In addition to taking Qiu Yue and Xia Ke, she was also accompanied by Mother Yang. Of course, there was no need for the little servant bodyguard, which also attracted the attention of many people along the way.

There were even some idle and boring dans who followed the horse all the way, just to see the beautiful face of the noble daughter. Unfortunately, they saw only a long back and a hat that blocked the girl's face tightly.

Shumei Building, as a tea room, will not open until noon, but at this time, it does not receive outside guests. The dans whistledignantly and eagerly watch the beautiful woman enter the door * and sigh.

The scenery turned a deaf ear to these disturbances. When he entered the courtyard from the corner door of the backyard, he took off his hat and handed it to the autumn moon beside him.

The shopkeeper bent down to greet him and greeted him with a smile on his face. As soon as he raised his arm, he let Xia Ke appreciate the silver. The shopkeeper weighed seven or eight times. He even smiled a round disk face brightly and quickly welcomed the scenery into a box.

At this time, the scenery can no longer be the same as the previous income of only "monthly silver" in the public. Since she "taken over" Shumei Building and doubled the income of the store in the first month, Su Lian has greatly appreciated it. Her appreciation is not only verbal, but also very heroic in practice and profits. One-third was given to the beautiful scenery without hesitation, so that the small treasury with beautiful scenery suddenly became abundant, the pressure was greatly reduced, and the action became more generous.

In addition, she wants to meet Du Yuniang in the store. In order not to let the shopkeeper talk too much, she will naturally give him some oil.

The scenery walks in while enjoying the scenery in the courtyard.

Although the area of the courtyard is not too large, it is also planted with strange flowers and grasses, and is decorated with lake stone root carvings and winding water goblet, which is particularly elegant and quiet. There are roughly seven or eight boxes in the courtyard for guests not to be disturbed.

The beautiful scenery enters the room in the west corner and sits under the Xuan window. Outside the window, a silver osmanthus stands beautifully. Between the deep blue Kezhi is covered with a snow shadow, which is rustling in the west wind and emitting a sweet fragrance.

Yi Jing first asked about the recent income and casually looked through the account book presented by the shopkeeper.

When I heard that in this month, there were even many times when the seats were full. For example, today, * seven or eight boxes were set in advance three days ago, and the scenery couldn't help smiling.

Actually, she took over Shumei Tower, but only did two things.

Of course, the guests of the teahouse are not aimed at peddlers and pawns. They are nothing more than literati and elegant guests, or noble and rich businessmen, or sit and taste tea with one or two confidants, or hold a poetry and chess battle. In short, they are all people who like elegance.

In Shumei Building, there are many kinds of famous tea, which is no different from other teahouses. The beautiful scenery is unique. Three landscapes are painted, and poems are embroidered into brocade screens. They are set in the entrance hall on the first floor. These three poems are one is the reflection of the West Lake, the moon, the other is the smoke wave of Dongting, and the other is the Lu Mountain waterfalls, whether it is paintings or poems, are rare masterpieces.

attracted many elegant guests to stop. In addition to appreciation, they yearn for it and unconsciously raised their feet into it, either Longjing, or Biluochun, or cloud fog. They had to order a pot and sit for a moment.

It didn't take long for the three famous teas of Shumei Tower to be more mellow than elsewhere.

The effect brought by this measure once again triggered the inspiration of the beautiful scenery and secretly thought about it. It seems that they are not bad what they expected. Most of the people who like to taste tea in teahouses have feelings for the mountains and rivers, recite poems to make leisure and elegance, so they have another plan.

Shumei Building faces Yihe Street, with a total of three floors. At first, it was positioned to be "elegant", so it was not set up to sit, but separated by a screen into a relatively independent compartment. Each compartment is facing the window, where you can enjoy the scenery of the river.

With this positioning, the first floor is inevitably too noisy because of the downtown, so it is not suitable for hospitality.

Therefore, Su Lian made a decision at that time. Only one room was left on the first floor as a welcome foyer and a hall leading to the back/court box, and separated the left and right sides and leased them to other merchants.

Bingjing feels that the first floor is really a little wasteful.

So he figured out a way, prepared a blank scroll, provided it for the guests to write poems, and then hung it on the side wall of the entrance hall for character evaluation. At that time, most of the people like to "sell" literary talent, so as to win a talent. As soon as Shumei Building's strategy came out, it attracted many scribes, and even some boudoir nobles. He also came to evaluate the good words. Of course, there are also some pretentious poems, which have attracted many people's "criticism" and only feel that their talents are better.

The rules have been set again. On the third day of the end of the month, all guests who come to Shumei Building can cast what they like. After counting the votes, the top three poems can be left on the "list" next month, and all other poems can be removed and replaced by new works.

Although there were no actual rewards, the scribes were very excited. On the three days of voting, they were simply full of guests, and some people even gambled and debated which poem would eventually win the first place.

"Wuniang's mind is really clever. This method makes Shumei Building famous." The shopkeeper made a routine report and praised the master: "The sycamore spring at the door was so red that he wanted to learn this trick, but it attracted a lot of ridicule, saying that they were picking up people's teeth. At the end of last month, we were full. Unexpectedly, someone would rather sit in the hall and wait for a seat than go to the door. The villain looked at it. , Wutongchun's shopkeeper was furious with hatred. Hey, who let him lose the opportunity?

Wutongchun is also a teahouse. In order to attract business, he raised a lot of beautiful dancers, which also attracted a lot of dung bets, but the real scribes disdains it - if you really want to look for flowers and ask willows, you will lift your feet to Yihong Street. Why go to the teahouse? Naturally, they don't like the smoky occasion when they come to taste tea and talk. Now, even if Wutongchun wants to "transform", it is too late.

Mother Yang listened carefully, and her eyes looking at the beautiful scenery were a little different from before. No wonder the eldest princess told her that as long as the fifth mother did not commit a danger, she did not need to restrain her too much. At first, Mother Yang was very puzzled. After all, the fifth mother was just cardamom, and her heart was uncertain. How could she Such indulgence, but today's colleagues see that Wu Niang's words and deeds are steady, and they are also so wise and keen. At a young age, they are not inferior to those housewives who have fed their palms for many years, which is really reassuring and impressive.

At this time, Yijing estimated that the time agreed with Du Yuniang was approaching, so he said to Qiu Yue, "I still have to look at the account book here for a while. You can go to Yanzhufang on Yiyuan Street first and buy some Danqing for painting." She smiled and said to Mother Yang, "Mother, go with Qiuyue. She is always playful. I'm afraid that if she sees something rare on the road, she will forget the business aside. It's nothing to delay things. Don't let others find it."

Qiu Yue paused repeatedly: "Wuniang, don't wrong the slaves. I don't know when the slaves are so important." But he acted coquettishly, took his grandmother's arm, and left the room happily.
