The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 285 Purple Lotus Pavilion

Hanlu took a few deep breaths, huddled in a corner with her legs and feet feeling a little weak, and lowered her head.

The little snow girl also took a breath. She frowned tightly, and her little face seemed quite distressed. No one knew what she was thinking.

When the carriage arrived at the main entrance of the Purple Lotus Pavilion, it became even more lively. People in extraordinary clothes were coming in and out, and the carriages of various colors were parked full. There was even the sound of stringed instruments in the pavilion, which was truly unusual.

It seems that this Zi Nu is definitely a good business person. She has managed a teahouse and wine shop so well in such a short time. This cannot be achieved just by having a background.

In this industry, if you have a background, no one will come to cause trouble. If you want people to come, you still need to look at their abilities.

Of course, the effect brought by Wei Liao's face cannot be ignored.

It has been snowy and windy these past two days, which is indeed a good time to invite three or five friends to drink and enjoy the snow.

Yan Jin jumped off the carriage and waved his hand. Several secret guards jumped out from the dark and opened the gate. All the outsiders were stopped aside. Those who were dissatisfied and wanted to argue did not dare to say anything after seeing the secret guards' token.

There was a nobleman who thought he was right and was not afraid, but when he saw Yan Jin, he immediately sobered up, regardless of whether he had been drinking or not.

I immediately shrank aside. Oh my god! Master Yan Jin is driving. Who could be in the car?

The waiter who greeted and saw off the guests had a sharp eye, if nothing else. He quietly withdrew and went to report to the landlady.

Yan Jin whispered, "My Lord, we have arrived."

There were many people with profound skills. When they heard the call of "Master", anyone with a little bit of brains thought of who was in the carriage. Those who thought of it were so excited that they could not describe it, and their bodies trembled continuously.

Zhao Ji and the other girls put on their veils and hats. Hanlu and Xiaoxu got out of the car first, then Zhao Ji came out slowly. Hanlu hurriedly helped Zhao Ji get out.

In the end, Ying Zheng got out of the car without any cover, and Yan Jin bent over and helped Ying Zheng get out of the car.

Some wise men knelt down directly, but they also knew that the king would not want others to reveal their identities, so they just bowed and kowtowed repeatedly.

There were some smart ones who, although they didn't know who was coming, saw those dignitaries who were usually extraordinary knelt down quickly, and knew that it must be something very important, so they knelt down as well, and soon there were people kneeling on the ground.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and the people kneeling stood up, but they still bowed respectfully.

Yan Jin led the way. The secret guards had pushed aside everyone along the way, cleared the road, and directly invited Ying Zheng to go up to the third floor.

The entire third floor had already been evacuated.

It was not until Ying Zheng went upstairs that those who had been kneeling along the way stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this short distance of just a few dozen meters, a large number of people knelt one after another, and there were really not many people who did not kneel.

Someone on the second floor came out of the side room to see what was going on. Coincidentally, Ran Hong's disciple Zigui also invited a few friends to drink and enjoy the snow today. When he saw Ying Zheng, he sobered up instantly, his eyes widened, and he knelt down quickly. Ying Zheng waved his hand and walked to the third floor without stopping. Zigui watched Ying Zheng go up to the third floor, and then stood up. In the hall on the first floor, there were those who were ignorant or had slow brains, and didn't know who this was. They asked the people around them. Those who knew about it were all happy and excited, and drank continuously, but they didn't mention the identity of the visitor at all. At most, they only said one sentence, "I am lucky to see the golden face of the emperor today!"
Having said this, there aren't many people who still don't understand. Those who reacted took a deep breath and then became extremely excited. Today was really a great day as they got to see the great king.

Keep ordering drinks, I won’t go home until I’m drunk today!

Those who originally wanted to leave decided not to leave now and continued to sit down, waiting excitedly. If they could see the king when he came, they would surely be able to see him again when they leave. Their ancestors’ graves would smoke twice!

When Ying Zheng ordered to go to the Zi Lian Pavilion, Yan Jin had already sent people to clear out the guests on the third floor of the Zi Lian Pavilion. Originally, the third floor was where distinguished guests were entertained, and now that the most distinguished guests were already there, everyone else would naturally go to the second floor to rest first.

Ying Zheng and his companions sat down in the most luxurious and comfortable room on the third floor. Except Yan Jin, everyone else left.

Ying Zheng nodded. This place was not bad. The decoration was quite elegant and the details were very good. It was obvious that the proprietress of the Zi Lian Pavilion was a person with good taste.

There are also several smokeless stoves on the third floor, so although the room is large, it is quite warm.

In particular, there was a strange scent of incense in the room, which was very fresh and pleasant, and was not inferior to the carefully blended perfumes in the palace.

A maid trembled as she went upstairs to ask for something. Two female guards carefully checked her and reported to Ying Zheng. Only after getting permission did she enter. The little maid was also smart and knelt down honestly: "Greetings, my lord."

Ying Zheng and Xi smiled and said, "Get up."

"What special dishes and tea are there? Bring them all."

The little maid didn't dare to raise her head and replied respectfully: "Yes."

Zhao Ji and the other girls took off their veils and looked around the room. They nodded with satisfaction, sniffed twice, and praised, "This place is really nice. I don't know who made this incense, but it's quite elegant and fresh. It's really good."

Yan Jin replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are three things about the Purple Lotus Pavilion that are extraordinary. The first is the incense, the second is the tea, and the third is the wine. Moreover, they are all prepared by the proprietress of the Purple Lotus Pavilion herself. I have also tried the tea and wine, and they are indeed extraordinary."

Zhao Ji became interested: "It seems that Wei Liao's disciple is indeed extraordinary, and she is a girl. Go and call her over. I want to meet her."

How could Zi Nu not know about such a big commotion? The receptionist came to report it immediately. With her wisdom, she immediately understood the identity of the visitor. She was extremely nervous for a moment. Oh my God, the King of Qin would actually leave the palace? And come to her little place.

Isn't it said that the King of Qin is very busy? How come he still has time to come out and play? Is there something important?
Zi Nu quickly shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Finding out the whereabouts of King Qin would be tantamount to seeking death.

Zi Nu immediately ordered everyone below that since this was a top-notch guest, everything had to be done to perfection and everything sent over had to be checked again and again, there couldn't be any problems, especially safety!

After sending a little sister to ask the distinguished guest what he needed, she got the reply and then watched the kitchen personally to make sure there were no problems. If something went wrong, no one could protect themselves and the entire Zi Lian Pavilion would be destroyed.

Even with Zi Nu's personality, she couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart. Since she arrived in Qin State, everything has been fine. Her benefactor accepted her as a registered disciple and protected her. He also helped her open a teahouse and tavern in Xianyang City. All her sisters have embarked on the right path, and she has also made several friends with good character.

The Zi Lian Pavilion and the Zi Lan Xuan are completely different. They are elegant places for formal gatherings of relatives and friends. The Qin Dynasty does not allow entertainment venues, and the fact that Wei Liao can open this teahouse and wine shop is a result of his status.
