After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

Xiang Song's reaction made Xiang Yang's heart "skip". With so many years of experience, Xiang Yang suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing again.

After a while, Xiao Jingzhao walked out of the house.

He stood in the courtyard and looked towards the next courtyard, waved his hand, "Go back to the palace."

...

The next morning, Gao Mu took two servants to the city gate.

Looking around, the streets were busy with cars and people, and from time to time, one could see a dusty scholar going to Beijing to take the imperial examination in the crowd.

After leaving the city gate, Gao Mu found an excellent position to wait.

The servant looked at the carriage entering the city and asked Gao Mu, "Is there a sign on the carriage? I have never seen Mr. Su. What should I do?"

Gao Mu sat on the shaft of the carriage, and he leaned back lazily, "Miss, you guess Mr. Su drove the carriage himself. You two don't have to worry. I have met Mr. Su before. Mr. Su is handsome and I can recognize him at a glance."

It is said that Jiang Shuyue got the Juxian Pavilion, and she felt refreshed when she got up in the morning.

At breakfast, Suisui saw that her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and he asked: "Mother, you are so happy, will the eldest uncle and the second uncle arrive in the capital today?"

"Not necessarily, maybe tomorrow is also possible." Jiang Shuyue missed her previous life at this time, all kinds of conveniences, unlike now, transportation depends on walking, calling people depends on shouting, the journey is long, she is like a fortune teller, all relying on guessing and estimation.

"Uncle Nangong said that he will take me to the city gate to meet my uncle later." Suisui said and swallowed the porridge in his mouth quickly.

Qiuju hurriedly shouted: "Young master, slow down and don't choke."

Jiang Shuyue put the egg custard in front of Suisui and said: "Don't worry, Gao Mu has taken people out, it's not too late to eat the egg custard before going."

This time the private school will be on vacation for a long time, at least after the imperial examination.

"Qiuju, stop standing there. Sit down and eat. We'll go to the restaurant later."

"Whose restaurant is going to be closed?" There was no one else in the room. Qiuju picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.

Jiang Shuyue's eyebrows curved, "Juxian Pavilion."

"Isn't Juxian Pavilion closed? Yesterday, the housekeeper said that he didn't know who the owner of Juxian Pavilion was." Qiuju wondered why the young lady found the owner of Juxian Pavilion overnight.

Jiang Shuyue smiled mysteriously, "Don't ask so many questions. This young lady has a noble person to help her."

Qiuju suddenly had a blessing in her heart. She didn't need to guess who this noble person was.

Suisui finished the meal, put down the bowl, picked up the handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and showed Jiang Shuyue a soft smile: "Mother, I'm going to find Uncle Nangong first."

"Well, there are many carriages and horses entering the city gate recently. Be careful." Jiang Shuyue adjusted Suisui's bangs on his forehead. With his appearance, I'm afraid Su Nan might not recognize him at first glance.

"Don't worry, mother, Uncle Nangong is here, we are safe."

Qiu Ju saw Sui Sui running out with his short legs, so she turned back and asked, "Miss, did the emperor come last night?"

Jiang Shuyue did not hide it from Qiu Ju and told her about her cooperation with Xiao Jingzhao.

"Miss, Juxian Pavilion is good, but where can I hire a trustworthy shopkeeper?"

Qiu Ju was a little worried. Juxian Pavilion has three floors, with several shops connected to the left and right. There is a restaurant in the front and an inn in the back. Generally, people without some ability can't be the shopkeeper there.

Jiang Shuyue put down the bowl and said confidently, "I'm not worried about hiring people. The key is to find the chef from before."

Nangong Zeyue bought the signature dishes of Juxian Pavilion and Jiang Shuyue tasted them. The taste was indeed extraordinary.

When Jiang Shuyue and Qiu Ju came to Juxian Pavilion, the seal on the door of the restaurant had been removed by the government.

Looking up, the three-story restaurant was magnificent with flying eaves and painted corners.

On the majestic black plaque, the three characters "Juxian Pavilion" were written in gold-plated dragons and phoenixes.

A big copper lock locked the door, Qiuju stretched out her hand to Jiang Shuyue, "Miss, just give me the key."

Jiang Shuyue: "..." Wow, how could she forget about this when she was so happy.

"He didn't mention the key, and I didn't think about it at all." Jiang Shuyue looked back.

This is a busy street, and passers-by cast curious eyes.

Jiang Shuyue frowned slightly, what should I do? It's not appropriate to perform hairpin unlocking in the street.

Qiuju understood, she waved to the coachman, and the coachman hurried over.

Qiuju pointed to the big lock on the door, "Go to the nearby lock shop and buy a lock of this size. It would be best if you can buy an identical one."

The servant was quite clever. He went forward and looked at the lock over and over again. "I've made a note. There is a grocery store on the street behind."

Qiuju gave the servant some small change. After the servant left, the two returned to the carriage and waited.

A moment later, the servant came back with the lock and key in his hand.

"Miss, wait. I'll open the door."

The servant returned the remaining small change to Qiuju and walked up.

Who knew that he poked the big lock several times with the key, but there was no response at all. The servant thought that he could open the door by buying an identical lock.

Jiang Shuyue and Qiuju walked over and said to the servant, "Step back. Let me try."

Jiang Shuyue took the key from the servant, aimed it at the keyhole, and fiddled with it for more than ten times. The big lock popped open.

The servant scratched the back of his head, wondering why he couldn't open it, but the young lady succeeded after one try.

What the servant didn't know was that Jiang Shuyue could open the lock with a hairpin.

Jiang Shuyue pushed the door open and walked in. She saw that the hall was very spacious. The front hall was connected to the patio at the back. There was plenty of light and the hall was very bright.

The walls are hung with gorgeous tapestries in exotic styles, and there is a counter on one side of the front hall with an abacus and pen and ink on it.

On the other side of the hall are several mahogany-colored tables and chairs, with elegant embroidered brocade covering the table tops.

Qiu Ju smacked her tongue when she saw it, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's such a waste to just put these few tables and chairs in this huge front hall."

Jiang Shuyue pointed to the mahogany tables and chairs, "This is the reception area. When guests come, you can sit here to drink tea and wait for the guests behind you."

In fact, the layout of the restaurant lobby is very similar to that of later generations.

The big red pillar that no one could wrap around was empty. Jiang Shuyue shook her head secretly. It was such a waste. If two elegant poems were put on it, the style of the whole restaurant would be improved.

The two of them walked towards the patio again, and saw a spacious courtyard behind them. There was a stage in the middle, which should be the place where the storyteller in the restaurant gave his lectures. On both sides of the stage were stairs leading to the second floor.

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Shuyue had a bold idea in her mind.

Jiang Shuyue looked up and saw a large corridor on the second floor. There were tables and chairs on the side of the corridor near the stage, where guests could listen and listen to books.

The two of them climbed up the stairs, and the first thing they saw was the doors of rows of guest rooms.

The room number is marked on one side of the door. In front of the hollow window, the gauze curtain is fluttering, giving it an antique feel.

"Miss, there is someone outside asking to see you."

While Jiang Shuyue was looking at the layout of the guest room, she heard the coachman's report downstairs.
