Chapter 117 Prosperity

The space is more spiritual than the outside, and Xia Lan sleeps very comfortably, sweeping away the sleepy and exhausted state of the horses and horses, she feels refreshed.

Leaving Haoxuan and other servants at the inn, Xia Lan took Qingmei out alone.Naturally, the best place to find out the news is a place where good people and dragons are mixed together.

Xia Lan took Qingmei into a restaurant named Pinranlou, sat down at an inconspicuous seat in the lobby on the first floor, and ordered some special dishes.

If it were Xia Lan's own face, it would be a bit eye-catching when she entered the Pinran Building. Before she came out, Xia Lan simply changed her appearance, put on powder on her skin, it looked a little dull, and her eyebrows were thickened. There is a mole, which looks relatively ordinary.

"Come on, Qingmei, let's taste the food of this restaurant in the capital first, and see if our Baiweiju can serve it." Xia Lan said and picked up a piece of crystal lotus paste.

Qingmei also carefully tasted the dishes she ordered, and felt that they all tasted very good. The dishes of Baiweiju were also very good, and they couldn't tell the difference. It can reflect people's pursuit of quality in this prosperous place.

Xia Lan can only sigh with emotion in terms of the taste of the dishes, Baiweiju has no advantage here.

With the expansion of Qingfu's industry, it's not that Feng Yang didn't think about opening Baiweiju to the capital, but it failed in the early stage, and later he resolutely gave up the development in the capital, and found more offline counties.

Under the condition that Baiweiju's dishes are not dominant, it is too difficult to develop in the capital. The restaurants, teahouses, brothels, cloth houses, jewelry shops, and other high-profit shops in Kyoto almost have a party behind them. The power of the court is supporting.At the beginning, Baiweiju had no roots and no foundation to develop here, and was suppressed everywhere, so it is strange that it can develop.

Fortunately, Xia Lan and Feng Yang resolutely gave up when they saw that the momentum was not good, and turned to the offline county to develop.

The foundation of the Chen Mansion and the Zhao Mansion is not bad, and the main reason why they can be caught up by the Qing Mansion, which has no foundation, is that their industry is struggling to develop in the capital, but the Qing Mansion chooses to run in the opposite direction, quickly occupying the offline The development space of the county seat.

After eating in the restaurant, Xia Lan took Qingmei to the actor's workshop.Naturally, she couldn't understand the opera, so she asked for a private room and called a buddy.

"We are from other places and we are not familiar with the capital city. Can you tell us some anecdotes about the capital city, such as Zhanjiang Prince's Mansion, Anlehou Mansion, and princes and grandsons, so that we can cheer up? experience".

After finishing speaking, Xia Lan took out a sufficient amount of silver from her sleeve pocket and placed it lightly on the table.That guy took advantage of it and poured out everything he knew and heard.

The current prince of Zhanjiang Palace is named Chu Yunxiao. He is only 27 years old. He holds Dongxu's [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, but he is doing idle work in the court. This time, the Four Kingdoms Tournament will be organized by him and the four princes.

As a child of the royal family, his relationship with all the princes is quite cold. Is this because of his father's death?It is rumored that his father died in Jinshang, but there is no evidence.

In addition, King Zhanjiang married a concubine. It is said that this concubine is the concubine of a second-rank minister of the Ministry of Rites. It stands to reason that according to his status, at least the concubine is also the daughter of a first-rank official.

Not only that, it is said that the Zhanjiang King is very devoted, there are no wives and concubines in the backyard, and he only favors his concubine.
