Xu Xiao's restaurant had to line up and draw lots three days before to make a reservation, in order to select some familiar customers.
On the second day of March, there was a sign at the door saying it was fully booked.
In addition, we rented a tea room opposite the restaurant, which not only provided tea and snacks to those who came to the restaurant, but also gave a beautifully embroidered purse.
In this way, although there is an endless stream of people coming to the restaurant, they will not come and go in the restaurant, and the restaurant will look much fresher.
Mrs. Zhang was also worried that he could not socialize alone, so she called the housekeeper of the house and brought a dozen guards who changed into ordinary clothes and sold fruits and dry goods nearby. It was really thoughtful.
Not long after, the boy hurried over and said that the Lu family's carriage had arrived.
There were more than a dozen carriages occupying most of the street as soon as they arrived at the door of the restaurant. Pei Shan stepped forward first and said to Xu Xiao: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is here too. Do you have enough private rooms?"
When Xu Xiao was surprised, he quickly said: "That's enough, the entire second floor is ours. I told them to withdraw some first!"
Pei Shan said: "That's good."
"By the way, why doesn't Yao Yu come?"
Xu Xiao said: "He is in Dingxiang Pavilion."
Wang Xiu took several girls upstairs to sit down. Looking from upstairs, what was the eldest princess talking to Xu Xiao? Then he gave him some envoys, who should be guards!
Wang Xiu went down the stairs to pick her up, and heard the eldest princess saying to Xu Xiao: "Courage is gained through practice. Now you can't even take care of us female relatives. If the emperor goes to the Xu family in the future, do you still want to ask the prime minister to take care of it?"
?”
Xu Xiao looked like he was being taught and prepared to escort the eldest princess upstairs.
The eldest princess said: "You go and do your work, I don't need you to serve me. Even the girls' servants have to be watched by someone. If you lose one, you will also lose the face of the girl's family."
Xu Xiao responded quickly and had to ask someone to seal the front and back doors.
Wang Xiu said with a smile: "I told them, one person is just a maid and an old lady who runs errands. Each family takes care of its own, don't worry."
The eldest princess said: "I'm not worried about them, I'm worried about you."
Wang Xiu knew that the eldest princess was afraid that those little girls would cause trouble, and their families would come to cause trouble. But since she dared to take them out, she knew their nature to some extent, so she was not worried.
She and the eldest princess went to the box. There were three of them, and they were in the middle.
The partitions on both sides were removed and screens were used to surround it, and then sunshade curtains were placed on the windows, as well as some fresh vase flowers.
After everyone is seated, preparations are being made for the stage in front.
Several little girls gathered together to have tea and talk, and the sounds of joking could be heard from time to time.
The eldest princess lowered her voice and said: "The emperor probably has no intention of appointing Mei Min as his queen. I heard that Mrs. Li is looking at her husband's family for her."
Wang Xiudao: "The establishment of a queen is a big deal, and the emperor likes it. This kind of thing can't be done reluctantly."
The eldest princess said, "Isn't that right? However, my cousin Jiang Qing's marriage has not been settled yet."
"Is your Pei Shan really not tempted?"
Wang Xiudao: "I can't control it, so I can't marry him for him, right?"
The eldest princess smiled cheerfully: "There's nothing wrong with marrying him. If you don't want to take care of things, why don't you have a young bride in charge of things in the house?"
Wang Xiu sighed: "Look again, I see that Pei Shan has no intention of getting married."
The eldest princess joked: "The sparks have to hit each other. How can you see them if you don't give them a chance?"
With that said, he motioned to Wang Xiu to call Pei Shan.
Their male guests were inside, about two boxes apart.
And those two boxes were just for the maids and servants to drink tea and watch the theatre.
Wang Xiu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, stood up, looked at them, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go get the strings."
The eldest princess threw a melon seed to her and said, "Hurry up, don't delay!"
Wang Xiu walked toward the box inside. Xu Xiao, Pei Shan, and a few familiar figures seemed to be here to help.
They were all sitting politely, with no book boy around them. When they saw Wang Xiu, they all stood up.
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "You take your seat, my name is Pei Shan."
Pei Shan walked out quickly and said, "Master's wife wants to find me, why don't you ask them to send a message?"
Wang Xiu made an excuse and said, "The eldest princess wants to see you."
Pei Shan didn't know what was going on, so he followed.
Several other officials were about to look over. Xu Xiao said, "Don't look at me. You should behave yourself in front of the eldest princess."
When those people heard this, they thought it was right and sat back down.
Wang Xiu took Pei Shan back to the box and said seductively: "Pei Shan, you see that His Highness and I rarely come out to play, so we just want to listen to the play quietly. But the ladies in the box next door are all invited by us.
Jiao Ke, we can’t do anything about it.”
"Your little sister-in-law has such a temperament that she only cares about herself when she is happy. How about you pay more attention to them later to see what they need and then send someone to deliver it to them? Do you think it's feasible?"
When Pei Shan heard this, he immediately said, "Don't worry, Master, I understand."
At the end, he added: "I will take good care of you. My wife and Your Highness are right here, there is no need to move around."
After saying that, he bowed and left.
After a while, I saw the person next door adding some scented tea and sending some candies.
The eldest princess smiled and said: "I asked you to send people there, but you sent them to be stewards!"
Wang Xiu laughed and said: "There are so many girls today, why do we need to be so obvious? On the contrary, it makes everyone uncomfortable."
"Let's watch the show. If you don't watch it, you won't be able to pick up the show later."
The eldest princess snorted coldly, peeled the melon seeds and put them in her mouth, but she couldn't chew them anyhow.
Ji Yunwei was not in the capital, so she just wanted to watch these young men and ladies fall in love.
But now I can’t even see this sweet scene, so it’s really meaningless?
As for watching a show?
It was just a boring pastime. How long had she ever been interested in it?
Just when she stared at Wang Xiu, she suddenly discovered that Wang Xiu was actually watching the show seriously.
