    In the early morning, there was still a tinge of coolness in the air, which reached Qin Chu's heart.

    She was used as a shield before, only the second prince knew Qiu Jinning's identity, and he was able to force people to this point.

    Now that the First Prince and the Third Prince are involved, the matter may become even more difficult.

    She hesitated for a while, and asked, "Miss Qiu, do you want to accept this gift?"

    Qiu Jinning was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the two rows of boxes in the yard thoughtfully: "There was that time on Suzaku Street, everyone knew that we had a grudge against the second prince, why do you think the two princes believed it so easily?his words?"

    Qin Chu frowned for a reason: "Then why did they send these gifts?"

    Qiu Jinning curled his lips coldly, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth disappeared in a flash: "Why else, it's just that I don't plan to put all my eggs in one basket."

    Qin Chu instantly understood that the two princes planned to stare at the two of them together with the idea of believing it or not.

    An anger rose in her heart: "From today onwards, you don't even need to show your face until your leg injury recovers. At that time, if you walk in front of them properly, you will naturally stay out of it. Before that, let me block it first."

    Qiu Jinning didn't speak, and took a deep look at Qin Chu. The matter is not so simple. Now that she has aroused suspicion, it is difficult to stay out of it.

    She sighed softly in her heart, and said calmly, "Okay."

    On the first day of June, in the depths of Suzaku Street, a shop closest to Royal Street was reopened with lights and festoons.

    On the brand-new plaque were written the four gold-plated characters of the Qin Family Wine Pavilion, and a fat little maid stood outside the wine pavilion, just like the last time the Qin Family Wine Store opened, shouting loudly: "Don't miss it when you pass by, sisters!Sisters, aunts and aunts, come and take a look."

    The opening of the wine pavilion is based on the painting of gourds, just like the opening day of Qin's restaurant, you can enter the store for free to drink and eat food if you throw a pot.

    The difference is that this time only five out of ten students can enter for free to eat and drink, and only female customers are accepted.

    Compared with the traditional decoration of the Qin Family Restaurant, the Qin Family Wine Pavilion is made of gold-plated signboards, and green bamboos are dotted on the door curtains. From the pillars outside the door to the store door to the furnishings inside, there is a sense of elegance in every place., revealing a noble air.

    The wine tables in the lobby are not big, some are for two people, some are for four people, each table is surrounded by screens on three sides, the height is just the same as when people sit down, and the other side is hung in the upper half.With a bead curtain, you can only see the lower body after sitting down, and the upper body is vaguely visible, which adds a bit of mystery and a sense of reassuring atmosphere.

    The glazed cups in the Qin Family Wine Pavilion are not like the wide-mouthed cups in the wine shop, but thin and long, with bamboo straws on each top, and even the side dishes are no longer spicy peanuts, variousSalad.

    Instead, there are all kinds of exquisite pastries and meatballs, as well as some seasonal fruits, and the price of wine is three times that of when the beer was first launched.

    On the first day of opening, all those who voted in the pot were free for the audience. Originally, the wine and food in the restaurant attracted those drinkers to yearn for it. Now that the more luxurious wine is launched, they can also eat it for free. With the last passPassers-by who were attracted by the news that came out suddenly stopped in their tracks.

    At this time, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman walked up to her seven or eight-year-old daughter and asked in a low voice, "Can I bring my daughter to eat with me?"

    It's not for drinking, it's just that today is her daughter's birthday, so she wants to bring her to the city to eat something delicious, but when she goes to the city, everything is expensive, and she is reluctant to buy anything.

    The jar looked at the middle-aged woman with a smile: "Sister, listen to me, as long as you can hit the shot, not only will you eat and drink for free today, but this little girl will not charge money in the future. Our boss has explained that all guests bringWhen children come, adults will calculate the price, and children under ten years old will eat and drink openly, and they will not receive a penny, but it is best for children not to drink."

    Xu Shi was infected by the kind and warm attitude of the jar, the middle-aged woman looked less nervous, she held her daughter's hand tightly: "Please, miss, bring me ten arrows."

    The woman has been working in the fields all year round, and her accuracy has always been very good, and she has scored seven out of ten.

    "Please come inside, guest officer." A row of maids who had been on standby in the shop stepped out and warmly greeted the mother and daughter as they walked in.

    Sitting in such an elegant position, the middle-aged woman looked at the glass cups on the table, as well as the assortment of pastries, meatballs and fruits, and couldn't help feeling nervous again.

    "Niu Niu, taste these things quickly, don't touch the wine."

    The middle-aged woman looked at a straw inserted into the glass cup, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes: "What is this? Could it be that I suck it with my mouth?"

    The maid smiled and explained: "Guest officer, don't worry, this bamboo tube is specially made by our wine pavilion.Once inhaled, the taste is guaranteed to be good."

    After all, the maid also noticed that the middle-aged woman was restrained, so she stood aside wisely: "If you have any order, refill the wine or add more food, just call me."

    Unlike the restaurant where there are only three or two waiters, there are more than a dozen maids in the wine pavilion, all dressed in the same blue dress, with a warm and hospitable expression on their faces, and there is one person standing at every three tables,Comfortable speech and behavior.

    The middle-aged woman took a sip, and her expression froze immediately. As soon as the fruit wine entered her mouth, she tasted the fruity taste of peaches, wrapped in a light wine aroma, and had a slightly sweet taste. The slightest bubbles passed through her throat, refreshing and not burningmouth.

    The delicate air bubbles brought a strange and stimulating experience to her tongue, her eyes lit up immediately and she took a few deep breaths, her face showing satisfaction.

    The daughter on the side ate it with a wooden spoon: "Mother, these meatballs are delicious, this one is salty, this one is spicy, there are vegetable balls and meatballs, and this fruit is also delicious."

    When the middle-aged woman heard the words, she hurriedly tasted one. The meatballs were made small, smooth and delicious.

    Served in a large tray, the tray is made of a whole piece of wood, and carefully dug out the shape of small plates inside the plate. Various kinds of meatballs are sorted into plates, which are beautiful and delicious.

    On the opening day, the restaurant was full of people inside and out, and within a few days, there were few women dressed by ordinary people. Most of the visitors were ladies from aristocratic families and wealthy families, not because of anything else, just one word: expensive.

    Qin Chu stood on the second floor and looked downstairs. The lobby was already full, and the private rooms were all booked.

    There are five or six flavors of sparkling fruit wine, peach wine, green plum wine, orange wine...

    The purpose of such painstaking design and decoration is to earn the money of these noble ladies in the capital, but seeing the eyes of ordinary women who walked outside the wine pavilion and glanced over in a hurry, Qin Chu began to think about it.

    Whether it is modern times or the Baiyue dynasty, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. A glass of wine for the rich may be the food money for the poor for a few days or even for a while.

    She glanced at the account book, and called for the jar: "Order, the Qin Family Wine Pavilion will be free to all female guests on the first day of each month until it is full."

    In this way, those ladies from aristocratic families disdain to use the free food and drinks. This day is a day when ordinary people can come to the wine pavilion happily and with peace of mind.

    Her move immediately aroused the eyes of some men. They also wanted to taste the fruit wine specially prepared for their daughter's family. It is said that the taste is wonderful, but it is a pity that the Qin Family Wine Pavilion only accepts female guests, and does not allowtake away.

    Of course, Qin Chu launched the Qin Family Wine Pavilion not just to do business in the store. She looked at the bottles of fruit wine in porcelain bottles and smiled faintly.

    Tomorrow, the Qin's wine shop will sell fruit wine, and both men and women can order wine.

    Porcelain vases are exquisite, with peach blossoms carved on the top of the peach wine, clusters of small oranges on the top of the orange wine, all kinds of exquisite patterns are pleasing to the eye.

    Such a porcelain bottle is equivalent to the capacity of a glass of wine in the wine cabinet, and the price is twice as expensive. Because of the exquisite packaging, customers still rush to buy it.

    When the sun was just right, Princess Wei in a gorgeous dress walked into the wine pavilion of the Qin family with her maid.

    The folk customs of Baiyue are open, and women are allowed to study and take the imperial examination, and even women can get married.

    But some stereotypes and bad habits have been inherited for hundreds of years and thousands of years, leaving an invisible shackle in people's hearts.

    A noble lady like Princess Wei often lives in the inner house, thinking that it is disrespectful for a woman to always show her face outside.

    The maid beside Concubine Wei asked the jar: "Is your boss, Miss Qin, here?"

    Guan Zi recognized that this was the eldest prince's concubine, and hurriedly went upstairs to inform the young lady.

    Qin Chu watched Princess Wei walk into the wine pavilion, she naturally knew the post sent to the Qin House by the palace every day, Princess Wei found the reason, and wanted to invite her to the Anguo County Lord's Mansion from time to time.

    Recently, it is always pushed that Qin Churen is not in the mansion, busy with the affairs of the wine pavilion, and can't get away.

    Concubine Wei could only come to the Qin Family Wine Pavilion to find someone in person.

    Before she could go upstairs, Qin Chu quickly came down to greet her: "Qin Chu pays homage to Princess Wei." The voice was intentionally raised, making the hall quiet, and a lady from the official family quietly lifted the bead curtain to look around, it was really prestigiousprincess.

    In the future, when the elders in the family stopped her, she said that even Princess Wei often went there, so there was nothing disrespectful, and it would be more convenient to come to the wine pavilion.

    Princess Wei's face froze for a moment, she smiled and said, "Sister Qin, you don't need to be polite, let's go upstairs."

    There were so many people in the lobby, although they couldn't see each other's faces clearly through the bamboo curtain, but the voice spread out, and everyone knew that she had come to the Qin Family Wine Pavilion, something was somewhat wrong.

    "Princess, please go upstairs."

    After entering the private room, Princess Wei scolded: "Sister Qin sees me again, why don't you just call me by my name? Could it be that she despises me as an elder sister?"

    Qin Chu went to sit opposite her and sat down: "Speak quickly, don't blame sister Chu, you came to find me for something important?"

    Princess Wei looked at the red clothes on Qin Chu's body, and laughed: "There is nothing important, but I miss Qin sister after not seeing you for a few days, so I came to talk to you."

    Of course, she came to the Qin Family Wine Pavilion in person for important business. A few days ago, the spies who were stationed in the county palace sent news that Qin Chu was not a real phoenix girl, but Qiu Jinning was, and that Qiu Jinning used to love Feiyi, but now she is broken again.One leg also matched the prophecy.

    Princess Wei wanted to go to the Qin residence to inquire about the news, but Qin Chu was not around all the time, and Qiu Jinning claimed that she was ill and did not see any visitors, so neither of them could see each other.

    Thinking of this, she felt a little unhappy in her heart, but she was just a pariah, if it wasn't for her special status as a phoenix girl, she wouldn't need to be so tolerant.

    When Qin Chu heard the words, he also laughed, turned his head and ordered the pot: "Go and serve some wine and vegetables, and let Sister Chu taste the fruit wine I brewed."

    "to speak"

    It's a little late, everyone has been waiting for a long time, hold tight~?
