Luoyang Brocade Chapter 81: dingxiang

Everyone got off the carriage one by one.

Dingxiang Tower suddenly appeared in front of you.

This is a three-story wooden building with a facade about the size of four shops. The three words "Dingxiang Tower" on the plaque are gold-plated and shine with golden light. There was a constant flow of guests and it was very lively.

There were several waiters greeting guests at the door, neatly dressed and with warm and attentive smiles on their faces. One of them had already greeted him with a smile: "A few guests want to eat! Please come in!"

This guy greeted me so diligently, but I was secretly surprised.

Dingxiang Tower is very famous, and occasionally people come with their families to have dinner. However, except for one strikingly beautiful young man, the group of people in front of him were all women. Although they all wore curtains and hats, their faces could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that two of them were boudoir daughters who were waiting for marriage...

In such a situation, the elder Jiang is naturally the most suitable one to come forward.

"Is there a private room inside?" Mr. Jiang asked with a smile.

The clerk responded with some embarrassment: "I'm so sorry. The private rooms on the second and third floors are all full. Now there are only two empty seats in the lobby on the first floor."

Ms. Jiang frowned. It was really indecent for them to sit in the hall and eat. What's more, as long as you sit down to eat, you have to take off your curtains and hats... This is very wrong!

"In this case, let's find another restaurant..."

"Sister-in-law, wait a minute." Ling Jingyan interrupted Jiang and looked at the waiter: "You didn't tell the truth just now! Even if there are no private rooms on the second floor, there must be some on the third floor. You guys Xianglou will leave several private rooms with the best views facing the street every day in case distinguished guests come at any time. These private rooms are named after plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. Are there any people there now?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect this girl to know the four elegant rooms of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. She turned out to be a regular customer of our Dingxiang Building. She is too young to recognize Taishan. She is intrusive to our distinguished guest. . Please don’t be upset, girl!”

Ms. Jiang glanced at Ling Jingyan in surprise, smiled and joked: "Ayan, when did you become a regular customer of Dingxiang House? Why didn't I know?"

This sister-in-law has a playful and lively temperament, and she knows it. However, I usually stay in the boudoir and don't have many opportunities to go out. How come you have been to Dingxiang Tower?

Ling Jingyan felt a little guilty when Jiang saw it, and didn't explain much. He said vaguely: "I just came here once or twice before."

It seems. It was during these "one or two times" that I met His Highness Prince Yan...

Ling Jingshu thought secretly in her heart, and smiled to help Ling Jingyan: "Sister-in-law, since we are here, we must try the dishes of Dingxianglou in person, so that our trip will not be in vain. People at this door come here People are going there, so let’s go in and talk!”

Ms. Jiang nodded.

Ling Jingyan was secretly happy. She had to pretend to be indifferent on the surface, holding it in very hard.

......

Ling Jingshu and others followed the waiter into Dingxiang Tower.

This group of women is really eye-catching. Even though his appearance was covered, he still attracted a lot of attention.

Jiang's family is like a thorn in the back, but it's already here, and now it's too late to regret it. It's better to go to the private room on the third floor quickly.

What a pity. Backfired.

The waiter whispered a few words to the shopkeeper on the first floor. The shopkeeper frowned slightly, then stepped forward to apologize: "Dear guests, I am really sorry. Those four small shops are the best. Three of the private rooms have guests. Only one is left..."

"Since there is still one room, we want that one." Ling Jingyan couldn't help but take over the topic.

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Girl, please be patient and please listen to what I have to say. The remaining private room has been reserved for a long time by His Highness King Yan and will never receive other guests. Please invite the girl Forgive me!"

It is indeed King Yan!

Ling Jingshu verified her guess, but she was not very happy.

When Ling Jingyan heard the words His Highness Prince Yan, the face of an arrogant and handsome young man flashed through her mind, and her pretty face suddenly turned red.

Fortunately, there was a gauze covering her face at this time, otherwise she would not be able to hide it from the careful Jiang family and the smart and keen Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingyan, who had no idea that she had been exposed, asked with a hint of hope: "Is it possible that His Highness King Yan will also come today?"

"That's not true." The shopkeeper said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Yan only comes here two or three times a month. The time varies, it all depends on His Highness's mood. His Highness King Yan just came here a few days ago, and recently I probably won’t come again. However, since this private room has been reserved by His Royal Highness King Yan, it is really inconvenient for other guests to enter. Please bear with me."

The King of Yan will not come today!

Ling Jingyan felt deep disappointment in her heart.

She tried her best to persuade her mother to allow her to travel. Today she dressed up carefully and came to Dingxiang Tower specifically, hoping to have a beautiful "unexpected encounter".

Now it seems that all this effort was in vain...

The more Ling Jingyan thought about it, the lower and depressed she became, and she lowered her head and remained silent.

...At this time, Jiang also saw that something was wrong with Ling Jingyan. However, it is inconvenient to ask in detail at this time, and I have to help cover up a bit.

Mrs. Jiang cleared her throat and said: "Since the shopkeeper said so, we shouldn't embarrass you. But a few of us went all the way to come here because of the reputation. Now that we have a free private room, why should the shopkeeper bother you? Shut us out?"

"The shopkeeper also said that His Highness King Yan has just been here not long ago and will not come again in the near future. We only have a meal and then leave, which won't take much time at all. As long as the shopkeeper doesn't tell us, how can His Highness King Yan know? ."

"To show our sincerity, no matter how much money this private room costs, how about we pay three times the money?"

......

I don’t know whether it was Jiang’s clever tongue that had an effect, or the three times the amount of silver.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and finally agreed.

The waiter led a group of people up to the third floor and stopped in front of the private room marked Tingzhu. He smiled and pushed the door of the private room: "Everyone, please come in. ~IndoMTL.com~ Ling Jingshu stepped forward and The man glanced around and nodded secretly.

The private rooms are spacious, clean and spotless.

A splash-ink landscape painting hangs on the wall. I don’t know which famous artist it was, which made the elegant room even more elegant.

A sturdy rosewood round table can seat twelve people.

Beside the round table is a pot of peonies in full bloom, which is so delicate and refreshing that its fragrance is refreshing.

Ms. Jiang was also quite satisfied with Yajian, and said to Ling Jingyan with a smile: "It looks really good, and it's not in vain that we spent so much thought and money today."

Ling Jingyan was a little flustered, so she forced a smile and said: "I will try some of the most famous dishes here later. I guarantee that you will be satisfied and your trip will not be in vain."

While he was talking, there was a strange movement outside the door.
