Zhao Xun booked a private room in Caiwei Building in Dongshi in advance in order to entertain Li Jianye, the eldest son of Prince Qi.
Of course, this was for the sake of dignity. Zhao Xun knew that as long as he invited Li Jianye, nine times out of ten, the prince of Qi would bring Li Taiping with him.
And if he directly invited Li Taiping, most likely the head of Yonghe County would not agree immediately out of reservation.
As a Neptune, oh no, a warm man, Zhao Xun is well versed in the essence of pursuing a girl, and he also understands the state of a girl who is in love.
As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle.
Zhao Xun never fights an unprepared battle.
On this day, Zhao Xun finished his duty early. After taking a bath and incense, he rode straight to Dongshi.
Compared to the West Market, the East Market is less crowded.
Because the restaurants here are more high-end, only high-ranking officials and princes can afford them.
Most people can only look up with envy for a moment, and then leave reluctantly.
Of course, it is not difficult for top dignitaries like Zhao Xun and Li Jianye to rent a restaurant.
It's just that Zhao Xun didn't want to be so high-profile, so he only booked a private room.
The name of Caiwei Tower comes from the Book of Songs.
Picking weeds and picking weeds, the weeds stop. Saying "Gui" means returning, "Gui" means "Gui", but the old ones don't stop. "It's because of the wild animals that the house is overspread." It's because of the wild animals...
Those who can find words and names from the Book of Songs still have something to offer.
Caiwei Tower sounds very elegant.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Zhao? Please come in quickly. Didn't you just come in the evening? Why did you arrive so early?"
The waiter at Caiwei Tower was the most sharp-eyed. When he saw Zhao Xun from a distance, he happily stepped forward to greet him.
"There are distinguished guests tonight, so I came an hour early to see how the arrangements are, so that I feel more at ease."
This is the first time Zhao Xun has formally hosted a banquet for Li Jianye. Before, the Prince of Qi had hosted banquets for Zhao Xun, or in public places such as poetry gatherings.
Zhao Xun didn't want to mess things up the first time he showed courtesy to his future uncle.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, look at what you said, we have been in this business for so long, can we still make this kind of mistake?"
The waiter's mouth looked like it had been smeared with honey. He bowed his body and pushed Zhao Xun inward.
I have to say that it feels so good to be held up by someone.
Zhao Xun put his hands behind his back and stepped into Caiwei Tower.
Compared with Sanjiang Pavilion, Caiwei Pavilion is much larger in scale.
And the decoration details everywhere are much more exquisite. I have to say that it’s nice to have money.
A shop like Caiweilou, which has a lot of money and makes a lot of money every day, must have a lot of backers behind it.
In this city of Chang'an, where every inch of land is precious, it is impossible to stand firm without a backer.
Therefore, the kind of plot in online novels where the villain always breaks things up in restaurants is not very realistic.
Unless you really understand the background of the restaurant and win over the other party.
Or his background is as big as the sky, such as a prince or grandson.
Zhao Xunding's private room is on the third floor of Caiwei Building.
Zhao Xun didn't take a second glance and walked up the stairs.
The waiter led the way, the smile on his face almost overflowing.
He knew that as long as he served Zhao Xun well, a silver reward would be indispensable.
These nobles' children can just throw some money into their hands and it will be enough for them to live for a month.
"Langya, this is a good name."
Zhao Xun came to the private room and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the word Langya.
"Mr. Zhao, please come in quickly."
The waiter let Zhao Xun in, and then rolled up the curtain by the window.
Zhao Xun looked out the window and saw rows of tall buildings and mansions, and felt very good.
Chang'an is a place that evokes infinite imagination when mentioned, and Zhao Xun is also a member of the infinite prosperity.

In order to go to Dongshi for the banquet, Li Taiping specially took a shower and changed clothes. He put on a royal green skirt, put his hair into a bun with five or six gold hairpins.
So much so that when Li Jianye saw his sister's appearance, he was stunned and stunned.
A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle, and the powerful are no exception.
After Li Taiping got dressed up exquisitely, he looked like a completely different person.
"Brother, how do I look in this dress?"
Before setting off, Li Taiping asked his brother a devilish question about death.
"Well...you look good in anything you wear, and this outfit is especially dazzling."
Li Jianye responded quickly and immediately gave a perfect answer.
"Sister, it's almost time, let's go."
Li Jianye knew that if he allowed the girl to continue to do this, he didn't know how long she would have to do it, so he had to make a decisive decision and leave immediately.
"Well, brother, are you going to ride a horse or a carriage?"
"Let's ride in the carriage with you, so it's more low-key. The carriage is ready, let's leave now."
Li Jianye didn't want to stay any longer.
…
…
Zhao Xun waited for about half an hour before he saw a black-skinned and gold-covered carriage driving toward Caiwei Tower.
Zhao Xun recognized at a glance that it was the carriage of Prince Qi's Mansion, and was secretly happy that it was time for Prince Qi's Crown Prince Li Jianye and Yonghe County Lord Li Taiping to arrive.
Although the two of them were dragging their feet, Zhao Xun was not kept waiting for too long.
Zhao Xun invited Li Jianye to a banquet this time. The Li Taiping brothers not only wanted to enhance and maintain their relationship, but also wanted to learn more from the two about Princess Xuanhuai's past.
Li Taiping had provided Zhao Xun with a lot of clues last time, but Zhao Xun always felt that she had not finished everything and had reservations.
In addition, after they went to the tomb this time, they found that the main tomb chamber was empty, which made them even more suspicious that Princess Xuanhuai had something ulterior to her back then.
If we can get some useful information from Li Jianye and Li Taiping, it will be very helpful to Zhao Xun in investigating the case.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of Caiwei Building. A servant of Prince Qi's Mansion had already jumped out of the carriage and set up the dismounting stool.
Li Jianye then got off the carriage and helped his sister Li Taiping down.
The two of them climbed the stairs one after another.
Zhao Xun had already been prepared and began to brew his emotions at this moment.
The waiter was already waiting downstairs. With a smile on his face, he led Prince Qi and the Lord of Yonghe County to Langya, a private room on the third floor.
At this moment, Zhao Xun put his hands on his back and looked at the magnificent scene outside the window, sighing with emotion:
"Chang'an Avenue is narrow and sloping, with green oxen, white horses and seven-scented carriages.
Jade chariots passed across the main hall, and golden whips came to the Hou family.
The dragon holds a treasure in its head to catch the morning sun, and the phoenix spits out its tassels to carry the sunset.
A hundred feet of hairsprings compete around the tree, and a flock of delicate birds sing together.
There are bees playing with butterflies beside thousands of gates, green trees and silver platforms of thousands of colors.
The windows along the complex road are decorated with acacias, and the two bridges are linked by phoenix wings.
The Liang Family Painting Pavilion rises from the middle of the sky, and the golden stems of the Han Dynasty are straight to the outside.
We look at each other in front of the building but don't know each other, and we know each other when we meet on the street.
Let me ask you, Xiang Ziyan, who plays the flute, once learned to dance to spend his youth.
How can I die if I achieve success? I wish to be a mandarin duck and not envy the immortals.
It's so enviable to be like a mandarin duck. You can't see them even if they come and go.
I embroider the solitary luan on the forehead of my hat, so that I can hang the double swallows on the door curtain.
Swallows fly around the painted beams, and the green curtains are covered with tulips.
The cicadas on the temples are covered with clouds, and the crows are yellow on the slender first moon."
