The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters
Chapter 103: Meeting Father Xiao Again (1)
What Yu Pu meant by “going out to play” was actually a boudoir gathering in wealthy families in ancient times.
However, the people at this party were all young ladies who were already married.
The host of today's party is Jiang Yinan, the daughter of the Jiang family, who grew up with Qin Shuyu.
Jiang Yinan married the eldest son of the governor of Yuzhou more than ten years ago. She gave birth to a son and a daughter and rarely returned to Beijing.
Now that I have finally come back, I decided to stay for half a month. This gives me the opportunity to invite all my childhood playmates to come out and reminisce the old days.
The place Jiang Yinan chose was a newly opened teahouse in the east of the city, three streets away from the inner city.
Although the surrounding area was not very busy, the people queuing in front of the teahouse bypassed Zhengfu Street and went to Chunxi Lane.
The bad news is that the teahouse is very busy and you can’t get in without a reservation.
The good news was that Jiang Yinan had used his connections to book a room half a month in advance. As soon as Qin Shuyu got off the carriage, someone came up to lead the way and led them to the Four Seasons Pavilion in the backyard.
After arriving in Beijing, Zhao Mianmian had not been to any other teahouse except Lan Kwai Fong. She followed Qin Shuyu and He Xulan all the way, looking here and touching there, with a face full of curiosity.
But no matter how curious she was, she always felt an indescribable sense of strangeness in her heart, as if this place was familiar.
It was not until He Xulan's voice reached her ears that Zhao Mianmian knew why she felt like she had seen her before.
"I heard from Miss Cao before that it's very difficult to book a room at Cha Yan Yue Se. If you don't ask someone for help, you may not be able to book the rooms near the river even if you make an appointment a month in advance."
After hearing what He Xulan said, the barrage exploded:
【? ? ? ? 】
【? ? ? ? ? ? 】
[Wait, what did she say? ? What did she say the name of this teahouse was? Did I hear it wrong? ? ]
[No, the one before, you heard it right, she was talking about Cha Yan Yue Se. There was also Cha Yan Yue Se in ancient times, are you surprised or not? ? ]
【…】
[Is this a surprise or not? Is this an unexpected thing? ? Just hearing the name, I thought it was opened by another time traveler! ]
[To be honest, this is not impossible. Think about it, in addition to the anchor, there are other time travelers in this world. It is inevitable that some people will think of the teahouse and want to make money by doing business in the modern way.]
[Making money is no problem, but he chose such an obvious name for the teahouse. Is he afraid that others don’t know that he is an alien? ? ]
[Hey, do you think every time traveler can be selected by the system to become an anchor? In ancient times, information was blocked and the qualities of time travelers varied greatly. It is inevitable that some people would take risks for fame and fortune and choose to take a gamble.
Besides, it's just a name. If the other party is careful and down-to-earth, and doesn't do anything like coffee and milk tea, it will still be difficult for the Xuanlin Guards to recognize it. 】
[This is so funny, Coffee and Milk Tea, if anyone dares to do that under the noses of Xuanlin Guards, I would respect him as a hero!!]
Zhao Mianmian was extremely frightened when it came to the involvement of foreigners and Xuanlin Guards.
But since she was already here, she couldn't say she would go back, so she could only follow He Xulan, trying hard to pretend that she knew nothing and hadn't seen anything.
Although the newly opened teahouse in the east of the city is called Cha Yan Yue Se, one thing the barrage said hit it right.
The other party just did a fusion and did not copy the modern set, directly bringing coffee, milk tea, soda water and the like to the table, so Zhao Mianmian could not confirm the identity of the owner of the teahouse for a while.
Zhao Mianmian followed Qin Shuyu to pay their respects to Jiang Yinan first, then talked to several young ladies and ate something. Only then did they have time to sneak out and look at the layout of the teahouse in the courtyard of Four Seasons Pavilion.
[The layout is pretty good. You can see that the area facing the water in this teahouse is all separate compartments, and each compartment has its own small courtyard. The privacy and viewing experience are excellent. No wonder it is so hard to find a room. ]
[It is useless to just have a good layout. There must be other attractive selling points. Otherwise, you can only make a quick buck for a while. After a long time, when the novelty wears off, you will still lose money.]
[Hahaha, whether we lose money or not is not our concern. I just want to know, did Xuanlin Guard really not suspect that the owner of this teahouse is an extraordinary person? ]
The barrage in the live broadcast room was refreshing rapidly.
Zhao Mianmian was lying on the railing of the corridor, looking at the things one by one, when suddenly a familiar voice came to her ears.
"I have asked someone to check and found out that the owner of this teahouse is a distant relative of the Minister of Revenue Cui, named Liu Huan.
Lord Cui took four points in the middle, Liu Huan took three points, and the remaining three points were given to Lord Ma of the Jingji Guard. "
"Although Lord Cui and Lord Ma both hold shares in the teahouse and have set up a cover for it, Liu Huan is still in charge of the daily operations."
"Even the idea of finding people to line up and create hype and false impression of popularity was proposed by Liu Huan."
“If you ask me, Liu Huan is a fool. If he had stopped while he was ahead and didn’t make such a big fuss about Cha Yan Yue Se, we might not have discovered the anomaly.
Now that this fame has reached His Majesty's ears, I have just sent myself to the sword of the Xuanlin Guards!"
When Zhao Mianmian heard the words "Xuanlin Guard", he secretly thought that something was wrong and his legs went weak and he wanted to run away.
But before she could run away, another man's voice reached her ears, shattering her last fantasy.
"Master Ma from the Jingji Guard? His name is Ma Hui?"
Zhao Mianmian didn’t hear what the man said earlier. Her mind was now filled with the screams of groundhogs and the three words she never wanted to see again:
【Xiao Haizhou!!】
When Zhao Mianmian heard Xiao Haizhou's voice, her first reaction was to squat down against the railing, trying to reduce her presence.
But sometimes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
Seeing that Zhao Mianmian had not returned for a long time, Qin Shuyu sent He Xulan to look for her.
As soon as He Xulan turned around the corridor, she saw Zhao Mianmian squatting under the railing "counting ants", so she walked towards Zhao Mianmian, called her name without knowing why, and asked:
"Sister Mianmian, what are you doing?"
