"Your Highness is too polite. I am already very grateful to you for coming here. Why do you bring these gifts again? I will never accept these jewels."

Looking at the box of treasure in front of him, Situ Xi gave Lao Zhang a look. He immediately understood and walked forward to close the wooden box.

Seeing Situ Xi's refusal, Zuo Minghu pretended to be displeased.

"Brother Situ, there is no need to be polite, and there is no need to refuse. Just accept a small gift. This is my whole heart. I hope Brother Situ will not chill my heart."

After saying this, Zuo Minghu directly raised his hand and waved lightly, and without any explanation ordered the people to carry the box and walk towards the Jade Wine House.

"Then thank you, Your Highness." Situ Xi nodded. He also knew in his heart that as the prince, Zuo Minghu could not take back the things he had given away, so he was no longer polite. He turned to look at Shopkeeper Zhang, "Old

Zhang Tou, take them in and put this box of treasure in place."

"Your Highness, please follow me into the building first." Situ Xi made a "please" gesture to Zuo Minghu.

"That's fine." Zuo Minghu nodded with a smile and followed Situ Xi into the Jade Wine Center.

As Zuo Minghu entered the Jade Wine Room, he began to look around at the layout of the restaurant. This novel decoration style was the first time he had seen it even though he was well-informed, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Brother Situ, the interior of your restaurant is really grand, open and extremely elegant. I guess this design was Brother Situ's idea, right?"

"Just some personal thoughts."

"Brother Situ is really different."

Amidst the compliments and humility of the two, Situ Xi took Zuo Minghu up the stairs and entered the private room upstairs. Just as he sat down, Lao Zhangtou hurried over again and brought Prince Mi.

news about this.

Zuo Chenyan also came, and Zuo Minghu on the side also heard Lao Zhangtou's message. He slapped his forehead and apologized to Situ Xi with a wry smile: "By the way, I came here to marvel at the layout of Brother Situ's restaurant.

But I almost forgot about important things. The two royal brothers could not leave the palace for some reasons, but they also knew that Brother Situ was going to open a restaurant. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to say hello to Brother Situ. He also prepared a gift and

Let me hand it over to you personally."

Zuo Minghu took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it to Situ Xi. He then said: "As for the second brother, since Brother Shen Yan is here too, I think his gift is at Brother Shen Yan's place. I will go with you."

Let’s go meet Brother Ana Shen.”

"Your Highness, how dare you welcome me."

Before the two of them went out, Zuo Chenyan was led into the private room by a Hu Ji. He bowed respectfully to Zuo Minghu, then looked at Situ Xi with a smile and said, "Brother Situ, business."

Xinglong, the downstairs is already crowded, why don’t you go out and say a few words?”

Situ Xi smiled easily, "Someone will take charge of the overall situation."

After inviting the two of them to sit down, Situ Xi brought a menu and handed it to them, letting them order their own dishes. They all felt fresh looking at the menu, and many of the dishes and drinks in it had never been heard of before.

While the two were looking through the menu, there was a knock on the door of the private room again. Situ Xi asked someone to open the door, and Chen Zhisu and Chen Pu walked in.

Situ Xi stood up to greet him. He had just heard from Lao Zhangtou that the two siblings had also arrived at the Jade Wine Center today. He himself planned to greet the Third Prince and Prince Mi after ordering their meals, and then go to Chen Zhisu and the others to say hello.

, but I didn’t expect that they would come here first.

"Oh? Brother Chen and Princess Bingyuan are also here?"

Seeing the visitor, Zuo Minghu and Zuo Chenyan quickly put down the recipes in their hands and stood up. Zuo Minghu slowly walked up to them and greeted the two royal families of Li Kingdom.

Bingyuan? Is this the name of Chen Zhisu, or is it a title or something like that?

After Zuo Minghu exchanged pleasantries with Chen Pu, he pretended to blame Situ Xi and said, "Brother Situ, why didn't you tell me about this in advance? If you knew that these two distinguished guests were here, you should have greeted them first."

"Brother Situ has just arrived. The two of us came earlier today and he doesn't know about it. Brother Zuo, we're here uninvited and don't disturb you, right?" Chen Pu explained to Zuo Minghu with a smile.

"Hey, we are all guests. If we want to disturb you, we are only disturbing Brother Situ."

"Everyone, I have just accepted your congratulatory gifts. No matter how polite you are to me, I will not return them." Situ Xi waved his hand and ended the polite words with a joke. They were all young people.

There's no need to bother talking, and besides, this is in a restaurant and it's not a serious occasion, so these red tapes can be kept to a minimum.

"Brother Xi, why don't you take a few nobles to sit upstairs first, Lao Zhuo has prepared drinks above." Lao Zhangtou spoke up at the right time to provide Situ Xi with a suggestion.

"Upstairs?" Zuo Minghu looked at Situ Xi in confusion. Is there any difference between the third floor and the second floor?

"That's fine." Situ Xi nodded towards Lao Zhangtou, and then explained to Zuo Minghu: "There will be a show on the first floor in a while. The upstairs is the best place to watch, with a better view and a better environment than the second floor.

It’s even better, come with me, I’ll introduce it to you.”

Situ Xi led everyone to the third floor. In the center of the third floor is a square fence. On one side of the steps is a small indoor pond with green rockery and various swimming fish. The sound of gurgling water makes people feel relaxed and happy.

.

"this way please."

Sit down at a long rectangular table by the fence. From here, you can see the stage on the first floor and overlook all the guests below. As Situ Xi said, this is definitely the best place in the Jade Winery.

Lao Zhangtou called a few waiters to wait at the seats next to him, while he went to bring some new pastries over.

"Well, this place is really nice, but why don't you see anyone coming up?"

"Reservations are required for the third floor, and only distinguished guests can come up."

"I see." Zuo Chenyan immediately understood that this floor was specially used to make money from those wealthy people.

"Brother Situ, there are more and more people. The seats on your floor are almost full. When will the show start? I recently heard that some gentlemen in the palace are talking about storytelling.

But I haven’t had the chance to listen to it yet, and I must take a look today.”

"My sister and I have heard of the drama "Zhu Gong Diao". Will we perform the drama "The West Chamber" today? By the way, I just heard that it was about "Three Kingdoms". Brother Situ may reveal what the specific script is?"

"The program will start soon. You will know later by listening to it. Spoilers are not a virtue." Situ Xi shook his head at Chen Pu rather mysteriously.

Just as everyone on the first floor of Jade Winery was discussing in full swing, Mr. Fan slowly walked to the stage. When people saw someone finally coming up to the stage, they knew that it was the storyteller who was about to give a lecture. The voices in the restaurant

It gradually got smaller.

"Everyone, please remain silent for a moment."

Fan Lao's voice spread throughout the Jade Wine House, and everyone's discussion slowly stopped, all staring at the stage waiting for his next words.
