Chapter 60 The Shop Opens

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it is appropriate to offer sacrifices, pray for blessings, consecrations, travel, weddings, and market openings. The sky is still covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, but it is a rare good day in the 48 years of Emperor Yuan. After today, there will be auspicious days in August, but still Not as good as today.

In front of a newly opened shop in Dongcheng, there are red silk knots, gongs and drums are loud, and the surrounding audience are either wearing hats, cloaks, or holding umbrellas, pointing and talking about the newly opened shop. Time is all about guesswork.

A slightly bloated woman in a blue floral dress walked to the door of the shop with a red face, looked at the crowd with her head, looked up at the sky, and then looked to the left, with a trace of sympathy in her expression. Anxious, as if waiting for someone.

"Is the auspicious time coming soon? Shall we wait for Aunt Liu?" The woman turned her head to see the man who walked to her side and also looked at the man on the left and asked.

The man was silent for a long time, looked up at the sky, then turned his head and said, "It's still a quarter of an hour before the auspicious time, let's wait and see, maybe Aunt Liu and the others are coming here."

As soon as the voice fell, seeing the four people approaching this way, the man was overjoyed, and when he told the woman that he was auspicious, he set off firecrackers and lifted the red silk as previously agreed.Looking at the four people who had squeezed into the crowd, he smiled slightly, but it was really long in coming.

It had been explained beforehand that Bai Ziwan, Aunt Liu, Yun Xiang, and Xiao He were only pretending to be guests and would not show up.When the auspicious time came, the previous man, Mo Shengtao, went over and lit firecrackers, which made the already boisterous crowd a little more noisy, and the sound of gongs and drums was even more deafening.

Mo Shengtao looked at Bai Ziwan, who was crowded in the crowd, and Ziwan nodded with a smile.Mo Shengtao walked to the side of the shop, stretched out his hand to hold the red silk hanging in the air, and pulled it lightly, the red silk floated down in an instant, and three big black characters, "Ling Ya Ge", appeared on the rhombus-shaped plaque.

Mo Shengtao looked back at the woman, and the woman stepped forward with a smile all over her face, "Today is the opening of our Lingyage Pavilion, thanks to all the folks who came to support us, everyone who comes to our Lingyage Pavilion today will have eight meals. All drinks are free, and there will be free fruit for everyone to taste after the meal.”

The crowd was noisy again, discussing a lot, and then filed in. The woman even smiled and led the guests in. Immediately, a waiter came over with a brewed tea. After a while, the originally cold shop was already full of people. scene.

"Master, please come inside."

Looking away, seeing Mo Shengtao's smile, Bai Ziwan rolled his eyes, "Uncle Mo, didn't you promise not to call me master? I invited you and Uncle Bai to come back and help me. If you call me master again, I'll be really angry! Besides, it's not like you don't know my identity, if someone else hears it, how long do you think our Mausoleum can last?"

Mo Shengtao laughed, and agreed in multiple voices, "Okay, okay, just don't call me any more in the future." He turned to ask with his hand, "Please, girl." He raised his thick eyebrows, as if to say, now I Are you right?

Bai Ziwan shook his head with a smile, and followed Mo Shengtao inside.Mo Shengtao led them to sit down at the table by the window on the right, and brought over a pot of tea himself, and poured it for Bai Ziwan, causing the guests at other tables to look sideways.

"Uncle Mo, if you're like this, I'm really leaving." Bai Ziwan put his hands to his lips and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Mo Shengtao was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked around, suddenly realized, put it on the teapot, and raised his hand to call for a waiter, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look, so please greet these objective people."

Who else knows Ling Yage better than her?So before Xiaoer could speak, Bai Ziwan reported the names of several dishes in a continuous manner.Xiaoer was stunned when he heard that, he only mentioned the names of all the dishes in Lingyage yesterday, this girl is good, she gave the names of the dishes before he even opened his mouth.

He blinked and looked at Bai Ziwan and the others suspiciously, thinking about Mo Shengtao's attitude towards them just now, as if they had known each other earlier in the morning, smiled and saluted, and went to the kitchen.

"Master, you really don't want to go to the kitchen?" Aunt Liu leaned over to Bai Ziwan's ear and asked in a low voice.

Bai Ziwan shook his head, took a sip of tea, "Since I said that Jiangling Yage will be taken care of by Uncle Mo and the others, I naturally don't need to go in." What's more, apart from Mo Shengtao, Bai Qi, and Shao Chengyong, everyone else He didn't know that she was the real treasurer of Ling Yage.

When choosing the name of the shop, Bai Ziwan hesitated a bit. He originally wanted to change the shop here to "Qinxiangzhai", but he was worried that Yuan Hongyi and his brothers would find out and follow the vine. It will be in vain, and it is not known whether it will attract gossip. Although she rarely goes to Qinxiangzhai in the capital, she always pretends to be a man every time she goes back.

But in order to be safe, she had to be careful, so she changed the shop here to "Ling Ya Ge".

Seeing the three people standing beside her, Bai Ziwan rolled her eyes inwardly, "What are you doing standing? Sit down."

Yunxiang agreed, and Bai Ziwan sat down carelessly, poured a cup of tea and drank it by herself.Aunt Liu and Xiao He looked at each other, hesitant, they were clear about the character of the master, but their relationship with the master was no different than that of Rue Xiang, master and servant were different, how could they eat at the same table with the master?Others know that they can only say that the master and the master don't know how to train servants.

Bai Ziwan shook his head helplessly, "This is not the capital city, there are not so many rules. You stand and I sit, you don't want me to eat, do you? Aunt Liu sit down, Xiao He, you sit down too." While talking Tea was poured and placed in front of them.

Ignoring the flattered faces of the two of them, Bai Ziwan shook his head again, holding the tea bowl to his lips, and looked at the snowy sky outside the window.

Perhaps it was due to the large number of people. Their food was not delivered for a long time, and they were not in a hurry. They watched other people's expressions while drinking tea.

"Master..." Yunxiang pulled Bai Ziwan's clothes from below, and pointed to the door, "The fifth prince and the general are here."

Looking back, seeing the two brothers who came in, Bai Ziwan was not surprised or surprised at all. There was a new store in Linjiang City. At this moment, Wan's face was indifferent.

Yuan Hongjin glanced across the pavilion, saw Bai Ziwan sitting under the window on the right, pursed his lips into a smile, pulled Yuan Hongyi, and walked this way next.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu, Xiao He and Yun Xiang hurriedly stood up and stepped aside, bowing to the two of them.Bai Ziwan pursed her mouth, fearing that she would lose her taste for this meal again.

Yuan Hongjin raised his hand to ask Yunxiang and the others to get up, turned around and saw Yuan Hongyi standing behind him, so he took a step back and pulled him to sit down together, "At first I thought about going back and calling my sister-in-law to come over together, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law to come over first gone."

Bai Ziwan smiled, and put down the teacup, "I heard that there was a shop newly opened here the day before yesterday. I thought it was selling some rare and rare toys, but I didn't expect it was selling food, so I came in to have a look."

Turning to look at Aunt Liu, Bai Ziwan said, "Why hasn't the food been delivered for so long? Aunt Liu, go over and ask what's the matter, and tell them to add two more dishes by the way."

Aunt Liu agreed and walked towards the counter.

Seeing Yuan Hongyi looking at him with weird eyes, Bai Ziwan pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, and looked out of the window with staggered eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the young man in purple robe coming in from the outside, and subconsciously looked there.The purple-robed young man was looking around, his eyes met each other, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then they looked away together.
