Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 188 Lotus Fragrance Garden

Walking out of Jin Yu Man Tang, Chu Xu's carriage followed him until they reached the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, and then turned their heads back.

"Prince Yan, you're not bad." Qu You held Chu Yu's arm, looking at the carriage that was drifting away.

Chu Yu looked straight ahead calmly, "In this world, he is the only one who regards this king as his life."

Qu You pouted, and pinched Chu Yu secretly with her little hand, "Where am I?"

Chu Yu smiled faintly, took her little hand and placed it on her chest, "Here."

This is more or less the same, Qu You raised her eyebrows, her small face raised arrogantly.

As soon as Chu Xu returned to the mansion, the owners of the houses in Yanwang's mansion got the news. They dispatched their confidantes to chase and intercept them. Men, bring them to your master.

After Jiang Lingcan finished washing and washing, she sat in front of the mirror in obscene clothes, holding a jade grate and slowly running along her hair.

"Your Majesty." The girl Yuliu lifted the curtain and entered the room.

Jiang Lingcan turned her head, her soft and charming Danfeng eyes raised slightly, "Is the prince here?"

Yuliu glanced at Yuhuan, then paced over.

"My lord just returned home, but—" Yuliu hesitated to speak.

Jiang Lingcan raised her eyebrows, turned around and stood up, "But what?"

Yuliu shook her body, shrinking her neck in fear, "My lord originally wanted to come to Xianglan Garden, but was intercepted by Cui'er from Yulan Garden on the way, saying yes, saying yes..."

"Say—" Jiang Lingcan shouted angrily.

"That's right, Concubine Dong is ill, and she misses the lord very much, please come and visit." Yuliu closed her eyes, and knelt down on the ground in a 'putong'.

"Bitch." Jiang Lingcan was furious, turned around and swept all the jewelry on the mirror to the ground.

"Madam, calm down."

Everyone in the room knelt down and lowered their heads.

Calm down, let her calm down.Chu Xu hadn't been in her room for two months, and today she managed to return home early, but the vixen from Yulanyuan intercepted her.Jiang Lingcan felt a dull pain in her chest, she raised her hand and pointed at Yuliu with trembling jade fingers, "When Cui'er intercepted the prince, you didn't say that I missed him very much."

Yu Liu hung her head down, too frightened to move.She shook her head hastily, with a little fear in her expression.

Jiang Lingcan picked up a teacup and threw it over. The cup hit Yuliu's forehead, and blood flowed immediately.

"Get out, success is not enough to fail."

Yu Liu kowtowed, moved her legs back, and slowly backed out.

That night, looking at the extinguished lights in Yulan Garden, many masters in the Yan Palace gritted their silver teeth.

Luo Ning's business is booming day by day, Qu You strikes while the iron is hot to finish the decoration of Lianxiang Garden.However, who should take care of this brothel, Qu You searched slowly in his head, and finally decided to hand it over to the coquettish Liao Caiyi.

"It's here, let's see if you like it." Qu You pushed open the gate of Lianxiang Garden, and walked in with Liao Caiyi.

The layout of the garden is very elegant, and there is tranquility everywhere.Liao Caiyi walked around, feeling a little proud.Well, yes, it happened that my old lady showed her skills.

"Miss--"

While Liao Caiyi was looking around, a few girls who were dancing at the booth that day came over.

Liao Caiyi raised her eyebrows critically, and glanced at them like a sharp knife, "What's your name?"

This, this is simply an acting school, Liao Caiyi's instantaneous transformation made Qu You's tongue flutter.

The girls looked at Qu You, seeing that she didn't say a word, they simply lowered their heads sullenly.

"They're all dumb?" Liao Caiyi sat on the chair, eyebrows raised.

The girls raised their heads unhappily, resentment flashed in their beautiful eyes.

Liao Caiyi raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for Qu You and herself, "My patience is limited. If you can't tell your name, age and ancestry clearly within fifteen minutes, then don't blame me for being cruel and throwing you out." In the words, anger is implied.

The girls looked at each other, swallowed quietly, "Your servant is Yangchun, she is sixteen years old, and her ancestral home is Chaotic."

"Liu Zhen, the slave girl, is fifteen years old, and her ancestral home is Heyang."

"My servant, Mi He, is seventeen years old and her ancestral home is Haicheng."

"Slaves—" Everyone stepped forward and introduced them one by one.

Liao Caiyi rubbed her forehead and stared at the teapot without saying a word.

"The name needs to be changed."

Qu You didn't answer, but nodded and gave her an encouraging look.Liao Caiyi's eyes lit up, and her whole body seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and she was instantly full of strength.

"You guys already have some foundation in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I won't teach them more. But, this dance—" Liao Caiyi frowned critically, showing her disgust.

The girls gritted their teeth, holding back the tears that wanted to overflow their eyes.

"Why, can't you bear this grievance?"

"Slaves dare not." The voice was obviously choked with sobs.

Liao Caiyi stood up and walked in front of everyone, "Since you have entered this door, don't pretend to be a chaste woman, it will only make people sick." After saying that, she raised the chin of the girl in front of her.

"what is it call?"

Tears were streaming from the corners of the girl's eyes, and she was crying tenderly. That cute little appearance made even a woman like Qu You move her heart.Well, good seedlings.If this girl is trained well, she is definitely the best candidate for the oiran.Qu You covered her face with a teacup, quietly observing secretly.

"Dong Xiaowan."

What—— Qu You gulped down a mouthful of tea, her eyes widened in surprise.Dong Xiaowan, isn't that the concubine Dong E of Emperor Shunzhi?
Liao Caiyi ignored Qu You, raised her hand and swayed the girl's face from side to side, observing back and forth for a while, "How old is it?"

"I just passed Ji this year." Dong Xiaowan bit her lip.

Well, just the right age.Liao Caiyi put down her hands, took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and slowly wiped her hands.

"It will be renamed Yanran in the future."

Dong Xiaowan's eyes flickered, she bent down and bowed, "Slave Yanran, thank you sister."

Elder sister, Qu You burst out laughing, immediately attracting everyone's attention.She took the opportunity to clear her cough, walked up to Liao Caiyi, and introduced them to everyone.

"This is Liao Caiyi, the steward of Lianxiang Garden. From now on, I will look to her for all the big and small matters in the garden. She will represent me and be in charge of everything here."

"Guard Liao." Everyone bowed and shouted in unison.

Liao Caiyi flung back her hair charmingly, her eyes were like silk, "I prefer, you call me sister." Her voice was soft and gentle, her demeanor was charming, coupled with her bright eyes and white teeth, her complexion was white and greasy. eyes.

"Shui Lian met Sister Liao." The round-faced girl blessed her body with a smile.

However, it is a malleable talent.Liao Caiyi nodded and glanced at the others.

"Yan Ran has met Sister Liao."

"Hua Rong met Sister Liao."

All the girls bowed down politely, looking at Liao Caiyi with bright eyes.

"Women, especially women from a background like ours, since they decide to eat from prostitutes, they have to let go of all their reservations." Liao Caiyi said while watching everyone's reactions, "You are not feminine, you are not Debauchery. Then you will have no reputation, and in this industry, if you are not famous, you will be eliminated. I believe you know better than me what is waiting for you."

The girls were discussing everything, and raised their heads blushing, "I ask Sister Liao to give me some advice."

Liao Caiyi raised her red lips, "I don't dare to give advice, but I have some suggestions. Women, first of all, have appearance, and secondly, temperament. Temperament plays a leading role in a woman's life. A woman with temperament ..."

Qu You sat at the side, drinking cloud and mist tea, while listening to Liao Caiyi's explanation.When she heard something different, she would frown and think, and when she heard the same opinion, she would nod her head in agreement.The conversation went on for an entire hour, and Liao Caiyi didn't stop until the cook came in at noon to ask if the meal was ready.

"When I talk about these things, I don't ask everyone to learn and apply them. I just want to understand them. Then everyone will be happy. My painstaking efforts are not in vain."

The girls bowed gratefully, turned their heads and followed behind the two, and happily walked out of the hall.

"Okay, don't lose the year."

Liao Caiyi curled her long hair with her index finger, twirling it round and round, "I'm so good, it's not because the miss is good at teaching me." While praising herself, she brought Qu You along.

Bah, the skin is still so thick.Qu You glared at her, then walked towards the dining hall.

For the business of Lianxiangyuan, Qu You specially transferred Miao Chun and Ao Qing from Jin Yu Man Tang. At this time, the two were leading their apprentices in the back kitchen. Their cautious and serious appearance was completely beyond Qu You's expectation.

"they--"

Qu You turned her head and looked at Liao Caiyi beside her.

Tsk tsk tsk, she didn't let people come here back then, but fortunately she was wise and decisive, otherwise, where would miss find such an outstanding head of family like her.Liao Caiyi glanced at Qu You triumphantly, as if begging for praise.

"When Ling Qi returned to the village, he wanted to pick a few people from Jinyu Mantang and bring them to Beijing. But he couldn't stand the soft and hard arguments of me and Qingyan sister, so he had to bring us with him in the end." Liao Caiyi pouted, Unwilling to admit to being an accessory.

Oh, no wonder.Qu You nodded, and looked at Liao Caiyi with a smile in her eyes.However, it was fortunate that she came, otherwise she really didn't know who to hand over the Lotus Fragrance Garden.

"Let's go to the dining hall."

The girls nodded and followed with light lotus steps.

The lunch was very sumptuous, not only the colors of the dishes were bright, but the taste was more in line with Qu You's wishes.She raised her hand to pick up a piece of sweet and sour meat, and chewed it slowly in her mouth.The gravy is tender and smooth in the mouth, it seems that Ao Qing has already possessed the skills of a chef.

"Is this dish made by Ao Qing?" She raised her hand, pointing to the plate of sweet and sour meat.

Liao Caiyi was picking at the rice without any image, her mouth was full, and she didn't have time to answer Qu You's question.She nodded vaguely, her throat was so loud that she couldn't make out what she was saying.

Qu You rolled her eyes helplessly, lowered her head and continued to eat.

Qu You was extremely satisfied with this meal.Before leaving, she asked Huanshan to wrap two red envelopes, with five taels of silver stuffed into each red envelope, as a reward to Ao Qing and Miao Chun.

"Thank you ma'am."

Ao Qing and Miao Chun knelt at the kitchen door, and kowtowed heavily to Qu You's back.

Walking out of the dining hall, Qu You handed over the list that Dairou handed over to Liao Caiyi.

"Bamboo leaf green and tree fruit wine, I will give you fifty jars of each, and you can set the price yourself."

Liao Caiyi opened the list and scanned all the lines at a glance, "Where do you get the cakes from?"

"Xianghan is in Luoning."

Xianghan——Liao Caiyi looked up in surprise, no wonder she hadn't seen her for a long time, it turned out that she followed the young lady to Luoning.

"Miss wants to open a pastry shop in Luoning?"

Qu You nodded, "Let Xianghan stay in Lianxiang Garden for a while, and talk about the pastry shop when the things at hand are finished." Right now, she doesn't want to expose herself prematurely.

Liao Caiyi nodded in understanding, took out a few porcelain bottles and stuffed them into Qu You's arms, "This is Mi Xiangsan, this is Panacea, and this is Smiling Half Step."

I was half-crazed with a smile on my face, Qu You rolled her eyes, and looked at the bottles in her arms dumbfounded.

"A little more."

"Not much, be prepared."

The corner of Qu You's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to push the porcelain bottle towards Lingyou, motioning for her to put it in her purse.

After Lianxiangyuan finished explaining here, Qu You and others returned to Prince Rui's residence.

Dongkuayuan

Since Cui Lanfang came to Luoning, she hasn't stepped out of the palace, she just stayed in the courtyard peacefully, silently serving Zhou Li'er.

"Miss." Seeing Qu You approaching, Cui Lanfang got up quickly.

"Xiaoyou is here." Zhou Li'er turned around.

God, sister-in-law, you can slow down.Qu You was so frightened that she raised her leg and took two quick steps, and went to support Zhou Li'er.

"Why come here when you're free?" Zhou Li'er supported her waist and slowly moved into the gazebo with her nearly seven-month-old stomach sticking out.

"Come find her." Qu You turned her head and looked at Cui Lanfang.

"Miss looking for me?"

"Yes." Qu You nodded.

Cui Lanfang stood there nervously, her head drooping silently, staring at the upper of the shoe uneasily.

"I opened a lotus garden in front of Chaoyang Street. The garden is managed by Liao Caiyi. Now there is one less chef who can make pastry in the back kitchen. Are you willing to go there?"

Cui Lanfang raised her head in surprise, with tears in her eyes.The young lady still believed in her, and was willing to keep her in the Qu family.She sniffed, with great emotion on her haggard face, "I am willing."

Qu You smiled lightly, satisfaction flashed across his eyes.Sure enough, the official background is different, understand what it means to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and what it means to know current affairs as a hero.

After chatting with Zhou Li'er for a while, Qu You became a little sleepy.Before leaving, Qu You told Lingyou to call Ling Xun over, and let her protect the second lady's safety in the future.

"Second sister-in-law, I will take Xianghan away first, and let Huanshan take care of you first." After Qu You finished speaking, she looked at Huanshan.

Huanshan nodded, and walked to Zhou Lier's side with a pleasant smile.

"Second Madam, this servant will serve you back to your room."

Zhou Li'er blinked ignorantly, looked back at Cui Lanfang, and let Huanshan send her back to the house.

"Should I call you Xianghan, or Cui Lanfang?"

Cui Lanfang was startled, and quickly knelt down in front of Qu You, "Slave Xianghan."

Qu You nodded secretly, and raised her lips in satisfaction, "I hope you don't reveal your identity until you bring down King Fu. Since I have the ability to save you, I also have the ability to push you into the fire pit again. But this time, I It will make your life worse than death." Cui Lanfang was trembling and sweating profusely as she murmured softly like a lover.

"Xianghan understands."

Cui Lanfang bit her lip and bent down in submission.
