Houmen's concubine

Chapter 186 Make a Notice
"Yes, master." Butler Zhang came out and carefully closed the door of the study.

"Nephew, please sit down." Boss Li pointed to the mahogany chair and said politely to Wang Tong'er.

"Well, thank you uncle!" Wang Tong'er thanked her, and sat down to find that Boss Li's study room is quite big, only smaller than her own study room by two square tables.

There is a large block of ice in the room, so it doesn't feel too hot.

In the corner of the wall next to the ice cubes is a copper drain, and the fine sand inside seems to be slowly sliding down without knowing the world.

There are also two calligraphy and paintings hanging on the front wall. Wang Tong'er doesn't know much about these, so it should be painted by a famous teacher.

On the kang table under the window is a sky-blue sliver plum vase of Ru kiln, and inside it is a common rose vine. No wonder there is a faint fragrance of rose flowers when entering the door. At this moment, the small flower vines are full of vitality.

There is a red sandalwood table under the window to the south, and beside the table is a Jiaoweiqin. Looking at the strings, it is spotless, and it seems to be played often.

Wang Tonger caught a glimpse of a huge bookshelf on the east side, and the wall was covered with densely packed books, and was shocked by its tall and wide bookshelf.

Unexpectedly, Boss Li is still a book addict, but compared with the books in Xie Yuheng's study, they are nothing compared to the big ones.

Not to mention my own study room, there are only a few lonely books...

When Wang Tong'er first arrived at Qin's house, the books in the study were all bought by Qin Baozhen's temporary orders.

Afterwards, Wang Tong'er went to the book store to find a lot of serious books for appearances, as well as a lot of idle books such as travel notes and local strange chronicles.

"Master Qin, please drink tea." After a while, Butler Zhang made a pot of tea on a carved mahogany tray and brought it in. He poured a cup of tea for Wang Tong'er and his master.

"Thank you, Steward Zhang." Wang Tonger stood up and thanked politely.

"Cough! Young Master Qin is polite."

Steward Zhang finished pouring the tea, bowed and left with the tray.

Wang Tong'er took a sip of the exquisite teacup, put down the teacup and said, "Uncle Li, my nephew has not been able to deliver the song in time due to common affairs these days. Today, my nephew will make up for it by visiting the door today. I want to sing on stage in person. I hope uncle agrees."

"what?"

"really?"

Li Yuansheng was so surprised that he stood up, rubbed his hands, and said loudly excitedly: "It's really great!"

"Butler Zhang!" Boss Li walked to the door and shouted towards the door with a grin.

"The old slave is here!" Steward Zhang was waiting outside the door, and when he heard the sound, he pushed the door open, showing his head in agreement.

"Hurry up, go outside and make a notice saying 'This teahouse will be singing a new song by Qin Yu today'."

"Yes, this old slave will post the notice right away." Upon hearing this, Steward Zhang answered excitedly and turned around and left.

No wonder their master and servant were excited. It turned out that after signing the contract with Wang Tonger that day, Li Ji Teahouse announced that: Not long ago, Qin Yu personally wrote a ditty and sang it in this teahouse.

Once the news came out, there were batch after batch of customers who came to inquire every day.

Just disappointed that I didn't find out the exact time.

Wang Tonger did not expect that in this dynasty, businessmen began to use advertisements to attract customers.

"Nephew, do you think it is feasible to start at noon?" Li Yuansheng looked at Wang Tong'er and asked for her opinion.

"Uncle Li, it's your place, I'm up to you." Wang Tong'er said jokingly as she closed the opened fan.

"Hi! Nephew and old man, why are you so polite? We are all a family in modern times!"

"Hehe, yes, uncle is right!" Wang Tong'er also smiled slightly.

"Let's go, go eat something to cushion your stomach, otherwise, you will be hungry later." Li Yuansheng said thoughtfully.

Wang Tong'er thinks about it too. Noon happens to be lunch time, which is from eleven o'clock to one o'clock at noon.

You have to eat a full stomach to have the strength to sing.

Boss Li took Wang Tonger to a small box on the second floor, which was quite different from the box on the third floor.

The box on the third floor is a small room with good privacy, which is convenient for customers to talk about things without being snooped by outsiders.

On the second floor, on the second floor, each box is separated by a partition as high as one person, and the voices of people in other boxes talking to each other can be seen and heard.

However, in this way, it is convenient for the famous actors and actresses on the high platform opposite to be able to hear clearly and see clearly.

Wang Tonger admired the ingenuity of the ancient woodworkers' skills very much. Since the second floor is an open building, the third floor is an elevated design.

The carpenter made load-bearing pillars made of mahogany that can be carried by one person. The position of the load-bearing pillars is also ingenious, so as not to affect the sight of customers watching the performance on the stage.

Wang Tong'er took a rough look and found that there must be nearly ten such thick load-bearing pillars.

In the private room, there are already guests sitting in twos and threes, drinking tea and chatting, while admiring the opposite side of a famous actress "Ding Ding Dong Dong" playing the guzheng very melodiously, and a pretty lady stands beside me with the guzheng "Yi Yi Ya Ya" tactfully chant.

Boss Li hurriedly led Wang Tonger to the innermost independent small box on the second floor, presumably, this was his own exclusive box.

The difference between this box and those outside is that there are two more glass windows to isolate it from the outside world, forming an independent small box.

The decoration in the box is the simplest, except for a carved pineapple four fairy table and four black wisteria armchairs, there are flower shelves carved from tree roots on both sides, and the hourly flowers and plants on the flower shelves are jasmine and crabapple.

There is also an imperial concubine couch against one wall, and there is also a copper basin shelf for washing one's face.

Of course, a small piece of ice was also placed in the corner.

After a while, two beautiful servant girls came in with a tray with a lid in both hands.

Wang Tong'er saw that the lid of the tray was exquisitely carved. Two beautiful maidservants put the food box on the table. Of the two maidservants, one looked reserved and shy while the other was steady and gentle.

The two servant girls put down their food boxes and bowed to Wang Tong'er and Boss Li: "Master, guest officer."

Wang Tong'er nodded slightly at the two of them and said, "En." Qingyue couldn't make out her voice.

When the two maidservants heard the voice, they couldn't help looking up at Wang Tong'er curiously, and they were almost stunned in surprise.

The person in front of him looks really foul!
The two of them have been coming to the teahouse for several years, and have seen many handsome men and women.

Today is the first time I have seen such an unbelievably beautiful young man!

In an instant, the faces of the two maids turned red, and the two nymphomaniac maidservants caught sight of the cold face of their master from the corner of their eyes. The lid was opened, and a hot fragrance came to the nostrils.

　Wang Tonger did not expect that in this dynasty, businessmen began to use advertisements to attract customers.
