"Masters, please see, these are the elegant rooms that our Zuihonglou has specially opened for guests who want to be alone. They are: Mei Shang Ju, Pin Lan Pavilion, Guan Bamboo Garden, and Cai Ju Xuan. The four elegant rooms are each occupied by four people.
The masters of the pavilion are: Qin Mei, Qi Lan, Shu Zhu, and Hua Ju are in charge." As the voice paused, Mother Wu opened the door of the Plum Appreciation House.
What catches everyone's eyes is a world of plums. On the wall facing the door, there is a picture of cold plums in the snow. In the flying snow, all the flowers have withered. In the depressing world, a red plum tree is quietly blooming.
.That red color is so beautiful that people admire it and look up to it.
In the room, on a screen used to separate the inside and outside, there is also a section of plum blossoms painted on it, and there is a poem beside it:
In chanting plum blossoms and sighing that the plum blossoms and snow have refused to fall in spring, the poets put down their pens and commentaries.
The plum blossoms are three cents whiter than the snow, but the snow is less fragrant than the plum blossoms.
Not only that, plum blossoms can be seen everywhere in other places in the room. The roof beams, bed edges, table pillars, chair surfaces, tablecloths, wine sets, tea cups... are all more or less carved, engraved, and painted.
The pattern of plum blossoms gives people the illusion of being in the plum fairyland.
"Haha, gentlemen, what do you think?"
"Wonderful, really wonderful! May I ask my mother, who is the expert who designed such an elegant room?"
"Mom, which poetry master wrote "Ode to Plum Blossoms"?"
For a time, heated discussions broke out one after another.
"My dear gentlemen, in fact, the decoration of this private room and the "Plum Blossom Ode" were both created by the same person. Everyone has heard of it. Yes, she is our Miss Weiyu. These four private rooms
, all correspond to their own names, and each has its own style. They are all carefully designed by our Miss Weiyu so that all the gentlemen can "come here with pleasure and return with satisfaction" in our Zuihong Mansion. I hope you will like it."
"Miss Weiyu is really beautiful and has a beautiful heart, which makes Xiaosheng admire her. Mom, Xiaosheng has reserved this elegant room."
"Master, you can book a private room, but there is a time limit." There was a mystery in Wu's mother's tone that made people want to find out.
"Oh, how do you say that?" the scholar asked curiously. Others also stretched their ears and waited for Mother Wu's answer.
"Plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, there are four elegant rooms. We accept reservations around the clock. The fee for each room is 50 taels of silver. The time limit for each time is 1 hour. Once the time has passed, if you offend me, you will have to move it."
Come on."
"Mother Wu, why are your rules so strict? Are there even time limits?" The scholar just now said angrily and dissatisfiedly, probably because he didn't have enough money.
"Young Master, you don't know something. This rule was set by Miss Nalan Luowei. Because there are only 4 private rooms, and there are more than 4 young masters, so many people come here every day in the name of Miss Nalan Luowei.
It was impossible for Miss Nalan Luowei to meet every young master one by one, so she came up with the private room method, which was Miss Nalan Luowei's apology to everyone who could not meet. And by limiting the time, this could
I’ll try my best to let every young man feel Miss Nalan Luowei’s affection for you.”
"Of course, if you feel that one hour is not enough, you can renew. The renewal fee is 30 taels per hour." After a pause, Mother Wu continued.
"So that's it. Miss Weiyu is really thoughtful. Okay, Mother Wu, I want to book a plum house for use during the You night." One of the people who looked like a businessman said loudly.
"Miss Weiyu is really considerate of us. Mom, I want to visit the Bamboo Garden and use it tomorrow."
"I want to pick Juxuan. I will use it at Xu time tonight."
…
"Okay. Ladies, if you want to book a private room, please record it with the waiter." Mother Wu waved the waiter next to her with a roster to come up and record everyone's reservation time.
"Everyone, although our Miss Weiyu can't accompany you one by one, the other girls in Zuihonglou are also very talented, especially the four masters of our private room: Qin Mei, Qilan, Shuzhu, Hua
Ju, these four girls, their talents are just like their names, they each have their own unique skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Also, due to the limited number of people, there can only be one pavilion master girl in each private room. If you feel like inviting someone,
There are quite a few. The hostess alone cannot take care of every guest, so if you need to invite a few more girls to join us, please let our recorder Sanzi know. Of course, there can be no more than 3 girls at most.
, so the one with the highest price gets it, first come first served. In addition, our Zuihonglou has recently reformed the system. The girls are divided into four levels: flower shape, flower list, flower scout, flower girl. Flower shape
It refers to our highest honor recipient, our courtesan Wei Yu. And the flower scouts are our four elegant room masters. Well, the arrangement of the flower order levels will be announced later.
It also helps you to have an understanding of our Zuihonglou." Mother Wu said in a loud voice.
"Thank you, Mother Wu, for being so considerate for us."
"Master, don't say that, it really offends my mother. Everyone is enjoying themselves, and I will be happy too, as it should be, as it should be. Come on, present the roster of girls to all of you, and let each of you choose one.
Enough! Third son, wait a minute. After you have recorded the private rooms you need and the girls you have named, bring them to the rooms and bring them to me." After speaking to everyone, Mother Wu turned around and whispered to the third son who was taking the notes.
.
Mother Wu withdrew from the crowd and hurried to Tingyuxuan where Nalan Luowei was.
Mother Wu had just stepped into the room. She originally thought that Wei Yu was also very nervous about the opening of Zuihonglou today. Unexpectedly, at this time, Nalan Luowei was sitting on the bed, doing all kinds of strange actions.
"Wei'er, what are you doing?" Mother Wu, who was full of doubts, asked in confusion.
"Oh, Mother Wu. How is the situation outside?" Seeing Mother Wu's sudden appearance, Nalan Luo frowned slightly, almost inaudibly.
"Wei'er, Ling'er has dried the roses as you asked, added rock sugar, and soaked them in water. Do you want to drink it now?" At this time, Ling'er stood at the door, knocked on the door, and then said.
"Yeah." Nalan Luowei stopped her yoga training, got out of bed and walked to the table.
Upon hearing the response, Ling'er opened the door and came in.
"This is rose tea." Nalan Luowei was not in a hurry to ask why Wu's mother came, but instead motioned to Ling'er to pour her a cup of rose tea.
Regarding the careless Nalan Luowei, Wu's mother could only endure the joy in her heart, and then sat at the table, raising her glass and drinking.
Mother Wu was simply surprised when she drank this. She didn't expect that roses, which can be seen everywhere, would taste so special when brewed, leaving a lingering fragrance in people's teeth and cheeks.
"Wei'er, is this...?" Wu's mother looked at Nalan Luowei across from her in confusion, waiting for Nalan Luowei's next words.
Without making any response, Nalan Luo asked Wu's mother another question, "How are you today?"
This question reminded Mrs. Wu of the purpose of her visit. She was impressed by the success that Zuihonglou had achieved just after it opened, and responded with a smile: "Wei'er, it's really yours. It's just like what you imagined. It seems that Zuihonglou has achieved great success."
In the future, his fame will spread throughout Beichen, and even the entire continent." Then, he smiled from ear to ear again.
"Hmm. The tea just now was scented tea. What do you think if it were sold in Zuihonglou?"
After listening to Nalan Luowei's words, Wu's mother's eyes lit up.
"Wei'er, where do you get these ideas? This is great, strange and elegant, and will definitely be very popular!" Mother Wu was ecstatic.
"Then let Ling'er teach you later. Then, you can brew a few pots tomorrow and see how the response is. This kind of tea is priced at 10 taels per pot."
"That's it for now. Remember, when you come in the future, knock on the door first." Nalan Luo listened to Wu's mother's words as if it was expected, and his mood did not fluctuate much.
"Wei'er, you...well, then mom, go to the front and take care of her first." After hearing Nalan Luowei's intention to see off the guests, Wu's mother wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end.
Left Nalan Luowei's house.
Since then, in front of Zuihonglou, there has been a bustling crowd every day, with people coming and going in an endless stream.
In ancient times when information was backward, the power of human communication was powerful.
In less than a month, the name of Zuihonglou and the reputation of Nalan Luowei spread throughout the Beichen Empire.
