562 Fan Mingyuan Is Severely Injured (2)
Song Jingchen said, “She’s very obedient. She won’t get into trouble.”
As for going to a brothel…
Ahem, this girl had been there a long time ago, but she had only taken a look at the roof of the brothel.
Shen Yijia blinked and nodded meekly.
That’s right, she was very obedient.
Xuanyuan Ce was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He asked Song Jingchen to persuade that girl, not him!
In the end, Xuanyuan Ce did not disappoint Shen Yijia. The three of them went to the Fragrant Teahouse.
However, Xuanyuan Ce did not let the two of them dress up like this. Instead, he got someone to bring out new clothes and two masks.
The reason was that their attire was too degrading.
The tea in the Fragrant Teahouse was famous in the capital. It was said that the water used to make tea was specially transported back from outside the capital, and the tea leaves were of top quality.
This also dissuaded many customers with low net worth.
Even if their family was a little rich, they could only sit in the lobby and enjoy it like South Wind without any invitations.
The only people who could enter the private room and enjoy the special tea master’s hospitality were the people holding the invitation to the Fragrant Teahouse.
The invitation was very exquisite. The words “Fragrant Teahouse” outside were gilded and carried the seal of the old lord’s residence. The identity of the person holding the post was written inside.
This was a little similar to the membership card Shen Yijia had seen in her previous life. It was unknown which god came up with this idea.
The person receiving them checked their identities before respectfully bringing them in.
The private room was not upstairs, but in the backyard.
When they arrived at a flower gate, the person in front left.
A few guards guarded the door. The guards looked at the invitation and noticed that Xuanyuan Ce had two people with him. One of them said, “Apart from the person holding the invitation, no one else is allowed to enter.”
Xuanyuan Ce frowned. “Can you take responsibility if someone inside wants to harm me?”
Xuanyuan Ce was the prince of the Xuanyuan Kingdom. If anything happened inside, not to mention them, even the old king could not bear the responsibility.
The guard hesitated for a moment and could only ask for instructions.
This request lasted for about ten minutes before he returned with a manager-like person.
Xuanyuan Ce already looked impatient.
The steward hurriedly apologized, “These pigs are insensible. Your Highness, don’t lower yourself to their level. Please come in.”
Xuanyuan Ce snorted and did not say anything.
After entering the Flower Door, she saw a beautiful landscape. Even though Shen Yijia had seen the splendor of the palace, she was stunned.
The contrast was too great. The small lofts stood between the rockeries like bamboo shoots after a rain.
The lofts were ventilated on all sides. There was a gauze curtain hanging around it, and one could see the situation inside clearly through the gauze curtain.
It was clearly impossible to use such a place for that kind of thing.
There was a lingering sound in her ear. The sound came from a waterside pavilion. Looking in the direction of the sound, she could vaguely see a few people sitting inside. A woman was kneeling between them making tea, and a young woman was playing the zither.
This was completely different from what Shen Yijia had imagined. She thought that there would be a bunch of women standing there with a handkerchief in their hands like in a brothel, soliciting men to come and play.
Or a group of people toasting each other.
Could it be that this wasn’t a brothel at all?
While she was thinking, the person leading the way had already been replaced by a girl.
The girl smiled sweetly and said, “This is Master’s first time here, right?”
Shen Yijia pursed her lips. After passing through the first two doors, it was unknown if anyone who could come here had an opaque identity.
Xuanyuan Ce nodded coldly, ignoring the winks from the girl in front of him.
Apart from the fact that he didn’t like these things to begin with, more importantly, his daughter and son-in-law were behind him. Would he dare to make any inappropriate expressions?
Even if Shen Yijia didn’t know now, when they reunited in the future…
Would he have any dignity left?
It was really killing him!
The girl did not mind his coldness and led the way up to a loft.
“Master, do you have any requirements for the tea master?” the girl who led the way asked.
Xuanyuan Ce said impatiently, “I want the best. You can arrange for the rest.”
He made it so mysterious. Who knew if the requirement was appearance or skill?
The girl leading the way choked and retreated with a smile.
Soon, the girl came over with a beautiful girl in a thin veil.
Behind the two of them was a group of maidservants carrying the things they needed to make tea. In addition, there was a girl carrying a zither.
