After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chen Xiuyan and the others followed Mrs. Huo and her mother to the fifth floor. The box at the end of the fifth floor was specially prepared by Laiyizhai for the owner, and it was generally not open to the public. As Mrs. Huo's beloved aunt, every time she came I use this one.

"Grandma, I have prepared your favorite Lu'an melon slices, and Miss Min'er's favorite tremella and bird's nest soup." The lady who led the way said respectfully, and then glanced at Chen Xiuyan and the others behind her.

"Here..." Madam Huo realized that she still didn't know about Chen Xiuyan's situation.

"Husband's family name is Luo." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, she could only use Chu Wenqian's previous surname, since Chu is a national surname, there is nothing to hide from the outside world.

"Mrs. Luo, serve Liu'an melon slices to Mrs. Luo, just like Min'er for Miss Luo." Mrs. Huo ordered with a smile.

"Yes."

There was a big family named Huo in the capital, Chen Xiuyan couldn't think of it for a while, it seemed that there was no such family in the homework she did before coming here, and there was no one who believed in Huo among the people she came into contact with after coming to Beijing.

Ladies from Laiyizhai served refreshments to Mrs. Huo and the others, and sweet soup to Luo Mingxin and the others, and then filed in to serve fabrics and ready-made clothes.

Luo Mingxin and Princess Changshou didn't have any idea when they saw the various clothes and fabrics. They were not short of clothes, and the purpose of Chen Xiuyan's coming to Laiyi Zhai was not to buy clothes.

"Does Laiyizhai have furs?" Chen Xiuyan asked. She wanted to buy furs and furs. Tatar is farther north than the capital city, and the winter is long, so the furs can keep out the cold and wind. Chen Xiuyan planned to prepare a lot of furs for Luo Mingxin to make. Clothes, boots, capes, etc., also put some at the bottom of the box.

As soon as Chen Xiuyan's words came out, Mrs. Huo, Huo Min and the ladies of Laiyizhai all looked at Chen Xiuyan.

"The price of leather is not cheap." Huo Min said, "If you want to buy leather, you are fully capable of asking for a box on the fourth and fifth floors."

"But you have to look at it to know if it's true." Princess Changshou continued, "It's not that we can't afford the money, but we feel..."

"Aqi." Chen Xiuyan opened her mouth, and swallowed the words of Changshou Princess in an instant. "Tiliu" came to Chen Xiuyan's side with a smile on her face. She really liked sister Xiuyan calling her name, and it was the first time she heard it .

"Sister Xiuyan, I won't talk anymore." Princess Changshou smiled contentedly.

Eunuch Xia looked at the old man with red eyes. Except for the prince who occasionally calls his name in private, no one else calls him. Now someone calls him again. Chu Qi, Aqi, his little master’s name has already gone Parents took it by themselves.

"Like this more?" Chen Xiuyan didn't miss the expression of Princess Changshou, and her heart softened.

"I like them all." Princess Changshou said obediently, rubbing her small head on Chen Xiuyan's shoulder.

"Mrs. Huo, Min'er, let me tell you a joke. My sister is lively and straightforward. Please be more considerate." Chen Xiuyan looked at Mrs. Huo and Huo Min and said with a smile.

"Sorry." Princess Changshou took the initiative to apologize, "I was speaking from my own standpoint, and I didn't understand Laiyizhai's standpoint. Thank you for your care today, and we will definitely follow Laiyizhai's rules in the future."

Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised by Princess Changshou's words. Although she knew that there was an element of anger in the beginning and she was looked down upon by others, but in the end it was they who chose to wear plain clothes, no wonder others. …

But Princess Changshou, who has always been the favorite of heaven, has never been so angry. Although she is angry, she does not lose her temper randomly, so Chen Xiuyan didn't stop her, but let nature take its course. She is very pleased to be able to apologize now.

"In fact, I just think it's not good to judge people by their appearance." Princess Changshou said truthfully, "We want a box, but the people in Laiyizhai said that the boxes on the second and third floors are gone, which seems to confirm that we can't afford a higher one. , If I had said from the beginning that there were only rooms left on the fourth and fifth floors, and told us the price, I might not have expressed my opinion today."

"The most important thing is that we have also been to other shops with private rooms in the capital. Basically, there is no requirement for consumption." Princess Changshou continued, "Even if we go to a restaurant like Tianxianglou, we don't want to eat after entering. You can also come out directly, so you have to pay because you stayed in the box for a while and it was hot."

"Nonsense, even if you don't go to Tianxiang Building if you book a private room, the deposit will not be refunded, and you still have to pay." Huo Min said angrily, "As long as there are private rooms in the capital, there are almost Additional fees will be charged.”

Princess Changshou was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Eunuch Xia suspiciously. After all, Eunuch Xia and the others arranged for her to go out, and she never bothered.

Eunuch Xia knew in his heart that because they belonged to Taiping Palace, no one dared to charge them even if they didn’t buy or eat after seeing them. Besides, the Palace was a frequent visitor to many shops, and even more so, who would care? Those box fees, of course, do not need to pay.

Chen Xiuyan also understood the reason why the store treated them differently, but she couldn't explain it.

Huo Min is still young, but Mrs. Huo is not a fool. When she heard this, she didn't understand. Although these people are dressed in simple clothes, they must be in a position of power above their own.

"Min'er, don't be rude." Mrs. Huo said in a low voice.

"She's not being rude." Princess Changshou replied, "We're just discussing a problem."

At first I wanted to say something more, but suddenly a series of footsteps came from outside the house, and there were quite a few people when I heard them, and the few people in the room agreed and didn't speak.

"The eldest sister is here, so let's use a box."

There was a delicate voice outside the house, and Mrs. Huo knew it was her natal siblings.

"Elder Sister—" The door of the box was pushed open, and three women came in, one dressed as a woman and the other two as little girls. The one who opened the door was the leading lady of Laiyizhai, and a maid followed behind the three of them.

Seeing outsiders in the room, the woman at the head was stunned for a moment, "Elder sister has guests?"

The young woman had never met Chen Xiuyan and the others, but when she saw Eunuch Xia, she frowned slightly, "Sister, why did you ask them to bring the boy in?"

All the people in the box looked at Eunuch Xia, and Princess Changshou also looked at Eunuch Xia.

"Young one, wait outside." Eunuch Xia was a little helpless, he saluted Chen Xiuyan and stood at the door of the box.

"There are no rules at all. Eldest sister, which family do you belong to, don't embarrass our Zou family and Huo family." The young woman said sharply.

The Zou family, although Chen Xiuyan had never heard of the Huo family, she had heard of the Zou family. The head of the Zou family was the principal of the Dali Temple, the sixth rank.

Laiyizhai was originally owned by the Zou family. Although the Zou family is only a sixth-rank family, it is also well-known in the capital because the Zou family is backed by Princess Hanshan's mansion. The head of the family was the one who led King Shen into Dali Temple, and the ability to investigate cases was also taught by King Shen from the Zou family, so for the Zou family, Princess Hanshan's Mansion took great care of them.
