In the long night, Wanyue was unconscious. At this moment, she couldn't drive Yinqi away, so she had to pouted and continued to lie down and rest.
When Yinqi got up, Wanyue fell asleep again. Yinqi couldn't bear to disturb her sleep, so he had to get dressed himself, and when he got to the study, he asked Butler Yan to help him wash up.
When Wanyue woke up, it was already Chen time and she was the only one left in the room.
"Here comes someone." Wanyue raised her hand and rubbed her head, which was still a little dizzy, and shouted outside the room.
After a moment, the door was pushed open, and Grandma Wang walked in quickly, saying softly: "Miss, you are finally awake. You have slept for a long time."
"Maybe because I drank wine last night, I slept a little longer." Wanyue put down the hand rubbing her head, then propped herself on the edge of the bed and stood up.
Grandma Wang looked at Wanyue's tired look, twitched her lips, and couldn't help but ask: "Does the young lady know that Lord Beile stayed in your room last night?"
"Ah!" Wanyue replied in pretending to be surprised, but she didn't care in her heart. Since she was drunk last night, she just pretended not to know that Lord Belle slept in her room last night.
After hearing this, Grandma Wang had a confused look on her face. She didn't know whether the young lady knew it or not.
As soon as she finished helping Wanyue wash up, Yudan came in with Wanyue's breakfast. She had specially reheated the dining room, so it was just right to eat at this moment.
After the old man finished his morning court at the Qianqing Gate, he specially left several princes who were already dealing with political affairs to listen to the instructions in the Qianqing Palace.
But he didn't say much, he just glanced at the married princes, and thinking about what Concubine Yi had recently said about the fifth elder brother's direct descendant Fujin being several months pregnant, he couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at Yinqi.
The old man sat on the dragon chair, took a special sip of tea, and then asked calmly: "Fifth elder brother, your direct descendant Fujin is about to give birth, right?"
"I'm reporting to Emperor Ama, there are still more than two months until the delivery date." Yinzhi looked at the old man and answered bluntly with a smile.
"Oh, the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother both have legitimate sons. You both married your legitimate sons in the same year. You have to work hard." The old man looked at Yiqi and nodded with satisfaction.
Then the old man seemed to remember something again and continued: "Although you are married now, you must not neglect your studies. Don't just learn Manchu and Mongolian. You still need to learn Chinese. You must learn more from your brothers.
Even your younger brothers, Ninth Brother, know more than you."
As the old man spoke, he felt a little regretful. Maybe he shouldn't have sent Yinqi to the empress dowager in the first place, otherwise Yinqi wouldn't be at the bottom among the princes now.
The other princes couldn't help but smile after hearing the old man's words. Yinqi lowered his face because the old man mentioned his sore spot.
After a long while, Yinqi replied quietly: "I listen to Huang Ama and will definitely continue to learn Chinese and strive to be like all my brothers."
Yinqi said this without any confidence at all. He had been raised by the Queen Mother's grandmother since he was a child. The Queen Mother's grandmother taught him Mongolian since he was a child, and later he learned Manchu when he went to the study room.
As for Chinese, the Queen Mother's grandmother never let him learn it, mainly because it was too difficult to learn. Just now, the old man praised Jiu Di. He actually envied Jiu Di. Jiu Di had been raised by E Niang's side since he was a child. More importantly, Jiu Di
He is extremely gifted in languages. He is only fifteen years old this year, and he can already speak Manchu, Mongolian, Chinese, Italian, and even Russian, which is extremely difficult to pronounce.
"There haven't been many political affairs recently, so I will give you three months' leave. You can spend time with your wife and family in the palace, and have more children for the royal family." The old man smiled. If he doesn't let the fifth elder brother rest, I'm afraid it will be a disaster.
It's time for the concubine to make trouble with her again, saying that he doesn't care about her son.
The princes couldn't help but open their eyes wide, especially the prince, who was usually closely watched by the emperor. They didn't expect to hear that the emperor would give them three months' leave today. They couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable.
In the Xinuang Pavilion of Baylor Mansion, it was already noon, Wanyue put her head on the rosewood table with her right hand and began to think deeply.
Wanyue remembered that the opera troupe she invited yesterday performed a very good opera. Wanyue thought that if a teahouse and theater were opened in the capital, it would not only allow the common people to watch the opera in the teahouse, but also satisfy the nobles of the capital.
Pay a troupe to come and perform at your home.
In addition, the tea garden is also a good place to find out information, so you can kill three birds with one stone.
Wanyue just did it, and after thinking about it, she immediately asked Yudan to grind the ink for her, while she picked up a pen and paper and started planning seriously.
Wanyue wrote plans for site selection, naming, decoration, recruiting famous theater troupes, and hiring shop assistants.
Yinqi, who has gradually become leisurely, now spends more time in the house visibly.
As soon as he heard that the servants in the mansion were talking about Xi Fujin's Tara family's plan to open a tea garden, he became interested, and he had a lot of free time to kill.
Wanyue wanted to hire the "Beimen Opera Troupe", one of the best in the capital, but the amount of money required to acquire this troupe made her a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, at this time, Yinqi came over to join in the fun and said that he was interested in opening a tea garden. He could
Out of silver.
Naturally, Wanyue would not refuse such a good thing. The tea garden that combines tea tasting and theater viewing has already taken shape. The elegant rooms in the tea garden are equipped with mahogany tables and large rattan chairs, forming a small world of their own. In the courtyard, there are scattered flowers, trees, and bamboos.
The leaves are green and the scenery is excellent.
Wanyue specially named the tea garden "Yueminglou Tea Garden". The tea garden was also chosen outside Zhengyang Gate. Yinqi specially purchased a garden that can accommodate more than a thousand people. The buildings in the garden are divided into three floors, two
The first and third floors are private rooms, while the first floor is equipped with a stage and dozens of tables, chairs and benches.
The Yueminglou Tea Garden was scheduled to open on the first day of July. In order to keep a low profile, both Yinqi and Wanyue wore regular clothes to the tea garden. As soon as they entered the tea garden, Wanyue saw an extremely spacious stage, which was enough to bring theater audiences to the theater.
Wonderful enjoyment.
Yinqi couldn't help but feel proud, "How about it? The stage I built is pretty good, right?"
Wanyue was very satisfied and looked sideways and nodded towards Yinqi. The seats in the tea garden seemed to be full, and the shopkeeper and the clerks were very busy.
After a while, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper noticed that the two bosses were coming, and hurriedly took them to the reserved golden room on the second floor. After arranging for the two of them to sit down, he said with a smile on his face: "
Please wait a moment, my two hosts, I will ask the waiter to serve you tea right away."
Wanyue smiled and waved to him: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Shopkeeper Wang."
Yinqi raised his eyes and looked at the stage on the first floor. Wanyue glanced at him. It seemed that Mr. Beile loved going to the theater no matter in his past life. In his previous life, he bought two theater troupes.
He was raised in the house and spent the whole day either listening to plays or hanging out with his seventh brother. He didn't have much time to spare.
At this time, the gongs and drums sounded, the play started, the whole place burst into cheers, the emotions of those watching the play were very high, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Wanyue had no choice but to turn back to her thoughts and set her sights on the first floor. A good show is always intoxicating and can't stop.
Some people watching the show on the first floor were sitting cross-legged, cracking melon seeds with one hand and drinking tea with the other, occasionally swaying along with the play.
There was a play list on every table for theatergoers to choose from. The performers on the stage were working very hard, and the play gradually got into a good mood. Suddenly, the whole place was jumping for joy.
Wanyue took a sip of Biluochun. The taste was very sweet. She smiled. Now that she has money, she should think more about rights.
