"What is the number of people who come here, Miss Xuzhen?"
"Nineteen, that's the nineteen, the one we had our eye on before."
Su Wan then asked: "Then do you want to send someone to bring her over later?"
Su Xiuzhi said: "Miss Xuzhen still needs to be given robes and worshiped to the gods. I'm afraid it will take a long time. It's hot now. I don't know how long it will take to wait here, so why not just go Find a restaurant nearby and sit down, send someone to inform her and let her come over when the matter here is over."
It’s almost noon, and it’s really getting hotter and hotter. Sitting on the observation deck, the scorching sun is burning on the roof. If it weren’t for the wind blowing from the lake, I might not be able to sit still at this moment. .
Su Wan was waving her fan much faster. After thinking about it, she really couldn't stay here any longer, so she asked, "Are there any restaurants nearby?"
Du Mingzhu said: "Shen's Restaurant, the Shen's dim sum is pretty good, we like to go there on weekdays."
Nian Jinniang said: "This is because you are ignorant. Wenyue Tower opened a few days ago. I heard that it only deals with women. Their pastries and tea are very delicious. We haven't tried them yet. Why don't we do it today?" Go ahead."
Du Mingzhu disagreed: "How can I be so ignorant? None of us knew about the opening of Wenyue Tower. It's not that the lotus picking competition is coming. You two were upset, so I didn't mention it."
Qin Zhiliao cracked a melon seed and said, "I do know, but it is said that the cost is not low. If you don't tell me, I will naturally pretend that I don't know."
She didn't have money, but she couldn't ask her sisters to pay for it every time she went out. Naturally, she wouldn't go to a place like this if she could.
Su Wan paused and was a little surprised: "Is Wenyue Tower open?"
Jiubian's movements were quite fast. He quickly found the chef of the restaurant and arranged the manpower to start the business.
"Do you know Wenyue Tower?"
Su Wan hummed: "There is Jianjia Tower over there in the Imperial City. I have been to the Imperial City before and also to Jianjia Tower. Women's business is done in that building. Wenyue Tower and Jianjia Tower can be regarded as coming from the same place. It is said that the owner of Jianjia Tower cooperated with others to open Wenyue Tower with recipes for snacks and tea."
"Imperial City? The Jianjia Tower in the Imperial City? I've heard of it!"
"Some of us here have been to Jianjia Tower before. I heard that the food inside is delicious and fun. There are guards patrolling the building and men are not allowed in. If the girls want to get together, it is a good place. .”
"It turns out that Wenyue Tower is the same as Jianjia Tower!"
Of course, restaurants are also a good place to go, but there are many inconveniences when people of both sexes come and go outside. If it is just a teahouse for women, it is indeed very convenient for them.
"Is Yue Tower far from here?"
"It's a bit far to walk there, but it's not far to take a carriage. Let's leave a carriage here and let someone take Miss Xuzhen there."
A few people discussed it and decided that it was okay. Su Wan also wanted to go to the Wenyue Tower in Lotus City, so he nodded, arranged for a guard to stay to pick up Miss Xuzhen, and went with everyone in a carriage. Ask the Moon Tower.
Qin Zhi pinched her sleeves and let out a sigh, thinking that after eating, Wenyuelou, she would be in need for several days.
In just a moment, the carriage stopped at the downstairs of Wenyue Tower. There was a boy in front of the door who helped pull the carriage to the side and parked it.
Su Wan stood at the door and took a look. Wenyue Building was a three-story building. It looked exquisite and elegant from the outside. Occasionally, the sound of a piano came from the building, and it was unknown which girl was playing inside.
There is also a teahouse next to Wenyue Tower. The accompanying male guards are not allowed to enter and can only stay in the teahouse to wait. After entering the gate of Wenyue Tower and passing through the lobby, the inside suddenly opens up.
It turns out that there is a spacious atrium in the courtyard, planted with trees and flowers, and a high platform. Now there is a woman wearing a veil sitting in front of the piano seat playing the piano. The sound of the piano is long and ethereal.
The maid explained: "This girl is the piano player in the building, and her piano skills are extraordinary. If the noble man wants to specify a piece of music, as long as this girl knows it, it will be fine."
"Where do you guys want to sit? The lobby on the first floor is full of tables, the second floor is the elegant pavilion separated by screens, and the third floor is the private room."
Su Wan said: "I just want a private room."
Su Xiuzhi paused and suggested in a low voice: "We can just sit in the lobby, and we don't need the private room."
Nian Jinniang also said, "That's right, the lobby is just fine. The food is the same everywhere, and the lobby is lively."
Su Wan looked back and saw Qin Zhi's face was a little embarrassed, and he immediately understood the reason.
The girls' families are considered to be among the best in Lotus City, and their own private houses are not bad. However, Qin Zhizhi struggled to make a living under his stepmother and had little money.
Su Wan stopped and said, "I'll treat you to tea today. Although the lobby is nice, it's really noisy. I like quiet, so I'd better go to the private room on the third floor."
Su Xiuzhi said hurriedly: "You are a guest. Wherever you can treat me, even if you want to treat me, I will treat you. We are the hosts here."
Nian Jinniang nodded in agreement: "Yes."
"It doesn't matter, you are still young girls who haven't left the court. You don't have any money. I'll see you next time. You are married and you can invite me again when you have money. Don't argue with me now."
Nian Jinniang whispered: "Next time, I don't know if there will be a next time."
Su Wan said: "You also said, I don't know if there will be a next time. We are destined to meet each other, so there is no need to count these things. Besides, I can't let you little girls treat me. If so, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it. ”
After hearing what she said, several people thought about it and stopped caring about it. Nian Jinniang said: "Then you can invite me. If you do, we will just have a mouth and wait to eat."
After saying this, the other three laughed.
So Su Wan booked a private room on the third floor, and the group of people were led upstairs by the maid. The private room was elegantly decorated, and one window faced the yard behind the small building. There were many flowers and trees planted in the yard. There were a lot of flowers and butterflies flying among them.
There are ice cauldrons placed around the private room. As soon as people walk into the private room, they feel that the heat in the air has dissipated a lot. It is very comfortable to shake the fan to cool down.
After the group washed their hands, a maid came with a menu sign and asked what they wanted to eat. Su Wan ordered some fruit tea and pastries that she had enjoyed previously, and then asked several people to order two each.
Several people had seen Su Wan spend three thousand taels at a time before, so they knew that she was not short of money, so they were not polite to her, and each of them ordered two of what they wanted to eat.
