Nalan Jinnian left the Yamen and then went to a teahouse.
This teahouse is the Juxian Teahouse where the Minister of Industry often comes.
In addition to Taoran Teahouse, Juxian Teahouse can be said to be the largest teahouse in Beijing.
The tea at Taoran Tea House is very expensive, and most of it is tribute grade, which ordinary people cannot afford to drink all year round.
The price of tea at Juxian Tea House is lower and the quality of the tea is excellent, so many dignitaries like to come here.
But Nalan Jinnian came first.
The business in the store is very good. The shopkeeper doesn't know where he is. Several waiters are entertaining the customers and introducing tea to them.
As soon as Nalan Jinnian walked in, a young waiter immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Young master, welcome. We have all kinds of tea here. Do you need me to introduce it to you?"
"Give me a quiet private room and I'll make an appointment to talk."
"Okay, sir, please come with me!" The waiter immediately made a gesture of invitation and then led the way.
"Is this your first time here, sir? Let me introduce you to the private room of our teahouse!"
Nalan Jinnian was noncommittal.
When the waiter saw that he didn't refuse, he started talking to himself: "The private rooms in our teahouse are divided into upper, middle and lower classes. Among them, the upper class rooms have the quietest environment..."
As the waiter said this, he led Nalan Jinnian up to the waiting room.
He chattered endlessly about the elegant rooms and features of the teahouse.
When passing by a certain private room, Nalan Jinnian suddenly stopped and said impatiently: "Noisy, this is the room!"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, I'm really sorry, this private room has been booked. We have a private room in front of us with a quieter environment..."
Those private rooms have great views, with a panoramic view of the back garden from the windows! It’s the best time to talk about things! I'll take you there!
Before the waiter could finish his prepared words, Nalan Jinnian opened the door and walked in.
The waiter was startled and quickly stepped forward to pull him: "Sir, this private room is really occupied by guests! Ah..."
"Presumptuous!" Nalan Jinnian waved his sleeves, and the young waiter flew out and fell on the corridor.
The shopkeeper who heard the commotion rushed over immediately and said angrily: "What's going on?"
The waiter quickly got up. Although he was thrown away by Nalan Jinnian, it didn't hurt when he fell to the ground. He said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, that young master broke into the elegant room."
The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw you, Nalan Jinnian, in the room.
Isn’t this King Jin
Nalan Jinnian had already looked around Yajian. He stood there, slapping the sleeve that the waiter had pulled with one hand in disgust, exuding an intimidating aura.
The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized and smiled: "The common people have met the prince. This is the new waiter. I have offended him a lot. I hope the prince will not blame me!"
Then he reprimanded the waiter: "Why did you bring King Jin to such a bad private room? This private room was just sprinkled with insecticide powder a few days ago."
When the waiter heard the shopkeeper calling him King Jin, he was frightened. Now he heard the shopkeeper scolding him and didn't dare to reply!
He wanted to bring King Jin to this elegant room here, and he forced his way in!
Nalan Jinnian glanced at him: "Didn't you say that this private room is booked by someone? You talk too much, little waiter."
After Nalan Jinnian finished taking pictures of his clothes, he took out the handkerchief and wiped his hands, then threw the handkerchief directly to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately caught it and said with a smile: "Someone has reserved it! But if Prince Jin wants to use this private room, no matter who has reserved it, that person will be happy to let the prince use it! It's just that it's sprinkled with insecticide powder. I'm worried that the prince is intoxicated. We have the best private room in our teahouse. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It's specially reserved for nobles like King Jin! How about I show you the way?"
Nalan Jinnian glanced at the white powder in the corner, and then walked out with a cold face.
The meaning is obvious, just lead the way!
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, when the adults are not coming, he will sprinkle some powder in the house to prevent some unreasonable guests from insisting on entering.
In this capital where you can easily meet a fourth-grade official when you go out, you really have to be very cautious and considerate when doing business.
He quickly led Nalan Jinnian to the best private room in the teahouse, served him the best tea, and waited on him at the side.
Nalan Jinnian took a sip, frowned slightly, and then put down the tea cup: "Back off! Someone will come to me in a while and bring him here."
"Yes, little one, just go and wait." The shopkeeper stepped back respectfully and closed the door.
Then he hurriedly walked forward, found the waiter just now and asked, "Why did you bring the guests to that private room? Do you understand the rules?"
The waiter was very innocent: "Shopkeeper, I didn't take the prince to that private room! He wanted to go into that private room himself."
The shopkeeper has repeatedly told me that no one can enter that private room! It was King Jin who pushed the door open and went in. He couldn't stop him. He even pulled him and was thrown away by him!
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat: "He wants to go in by himself?"
This... is not really here to investigate or something
The waiter nodded: "Yes, I am going to take the prince to the best private room. I introduced him to the private room in our teahouse along the way, and then Prince Jin suddenly stopped and said with an impatient expression, Just this one! I said this private room was booked by someone, but before I could finish my words, he opened the door and walked in! I went to pull him, but he threw me away! "
"Did he do anything in there?"
"No, he just threw me away and you appeared."
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn't have discovered anything like this, right
It's just that King Jin discovered something and came here to test on purpose, or it was unintentional.
Then he thought about King Jin saying that he, the waiter, talked too much.
I thought that the new waiter did talk a lot, but King Jin had a mysophobia, talked little, and liked to be alone. He didn't even have a guard around him on weekdays, and he hated people chattering in front of him.
Do you think this is a coincidence
But no matter what, I have to tell the adults that King Jin has entered that elegant room.
The shopkeeper dismissed the waiter and was waiting for the person King Jin was talking about.
Soon, Liu Xiaoen appeared.
The shopkeeper took him to Nalan Jinnian's private room and knocked gently on the door.
"My lord, the person you were waiting for is here!"
"Come in." A cold voice came from inside.
The shopkeeper opened the door and said to Liu Xiaoen: "Sir, the prince is waiting for you inside."
Liu Xiaoen nodded and walked in.
The shopkeeper wisely closed the door for them, and then he didn't dare to stay for fear of being thought to be eavesdropping, so he left directly.
Liu Xiaoen bowed respectfully to Nalan Jinnian: "The common people have seen the prince."
Nalan Jinnian pointed to the armchair in front of him: "Sit."
