Cyclamen, a teahouse, ranks first among all the teahouses in Beijing because of its elegant environment and rich tea fragrance.

Cyclamen has two floors. There are storytellers in the hall on the first floor all the year round, telling anecdotes from all over the world with one embroidered mouth, and occasionally troupes perform on stage to add to the fun.On the second floor, there are only four elegant rooms of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and most of the people who come and go between them are talented scholars and proud daughters of aristocratic families.

In the chess room.

Cui Wenyin picked up a sunspot from the chess box and landed it on the chessboard.

Su Lingyu shook her head lightly: "If you come down here, don't you commit suicide?"

Chi Yanfei stroked the white piece in his hand, pondered for a while, then put down the piece in his hand.

Su Lingyu's eyes widened: "The camp behind is on fire, how do I get down here?"

Chi Yanfei glanced at Su Lingyu: "Watch the chess without saying a word."

Su Lingyu shrugged and had no choice but to shut up, her eyes fell on the chessboard, watching the black and white pieces fight each other, the situation gradually became bigger, the black pieces were surrounded by the white pieces, the black pieces abandoned the northwest camp, and broke out of the siege by cutting off an arm. The white pieces are all in the game, and the black pieces are difficult to stop until the white pieces win a small victory.

Cui Wenyin threw down the chess pieces in her hand, and said leisurely: "In the past, I won more than I lost, but now I win more than I lose. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win in the future!"

Chi Yanfei said softly: "Victory or defeat is impermanent, so why worry about it."

At this time, there was a voice outside the door, which became more and more clear, and the voice came from the corridor.

Someone laughed and said: "Today is the day when Liu Hanyan is on stage, let's go and have a look?"

Another voice said: "What's so good about women? How can they be as good-looking as a young man who plays the moon!"

"You don't understand this, Liu Hanyan is one of the four beauties in the capital, and that buddy Nongyue is far behind..."

"That's right, only such a beautiful woman can fascinate the royal family and clan officials!"

The people outside the corridor had gone away, and the voice faded to nothingness.

A bit of interest appeared on Su Lingyu's face, and she said with a smirk: "By the way, the three of us plus Liu Hanyan are called the four beauties of the capital. However, I haven't seen her appearance yet, so I don't know who is more beautiful than me." Outperformed?"

"Why don't you go to Lancui Pavilion later?"

Cui Wenyin frowned slightly, and directly refused: "I can accompany you to dinner and theater, but I can't accompany you to whoring..."

Su Lingyu chuckled: "Lancui Pavilion is full of women, I'm not a womanizer, I just went to see Liu Hanyan. You are a sage among women, and you have a male tiger at home. I dare not ruin your reputation." , causing you to go home and suffer..."

"Go and have a look, after all, he is also a person with the same reputation as us."

"no"

"Really boring!"

Su Lingyu turned her head and looked at Chi Yanfei eagerly. She drew her voice and said, "Yanfei, it seems that we are the only ones going. We are more beautiful than that Liu Hanyan!"

Chi Yanfei looked leisurely, his bright autumn eyes were quietly looking out of the window, and there seemed to be some commotion downstairs.

This was a very clichéd story, and Chi Yanfei could easily guess the outline of the incident from the expressions and behaviors of the people around him.

A father and son went to Beijing to visit their relatives. The father may be weak, or the sailors refused to accept it. Soon after entering Beijing, he became seriously ill, and the so-called relatives moved out of Beijing long ago. Sigh that the father was weak and couldn't resist the fierceness of the disease, and died within a few days, leaving behind a lonely son.To make matters worse, seeing a doctor and buying medicines, coupled with the high cost of board and lodging at the Jingzhong Inn, has long since left little money, and even the father's funeral can't be handled. The son is desperate, so he has to sell himself to bury his father.

A lonely man who sells his body to bury his father, looks handsome and cries like pear blossoms and rain, the passers-by watching feel compassionate, and even those who are righteous want to help, but there is a villain in Beijing passing by here, she takes a fancy to this lonely man face, forced to buy it to be No.18 room servant.The righteous person is just a commoner, who can't compete with this wicked girl's illustrious family background, so she dares not speak out.The villain forcibly dragged away the unwilling prostitute man, touching and kissing him and eating all the tofu along the way.

Among the crowd, Mei Wangqing, the daughter of Anping who couldn't bear to watch the excitement, stopped the villain with a voice.

"I said, you are not satisfied with the seventeen servants! Also, your appearance is not worthy of this young master..."

The villain has a fat body and a round pancake face with mung bean eyes.That young man is weak and willow in the wind, with delicate features.Looking at it this way, it really doesn't deserve it.

"My lady is not worthy, so are you worthy?" The villain turned around after speaking, and was stunned when she saw Mei Wangqing. This appearance was not only worthy, but she was so worthy.

Mei Wangqing snorted softly and said, "If you want to buy this young master, you have to ask him if he is happy? There is no such thing as forced buying and selling in this world!"

The villain was full of pride, and said fiercely: "You want to rob me? Can you rob me? The most favored Su Shiqing in the palace is my cousin!"

Mei Wangqing looked disdainful: "Don't say it is Su Shiqing, if this matter goes to the emperor, you are the one who is unreasonable, and that Su Shiqing will be implicated by you..."

"You dare to threaten me..." The villain waved her hand, and several guards at the side rolled up their sleeves and strode aggressively towards Mei Wangqing.

Mei Wangqing pursed her lips, and a cold-faced waitress beside her directly greeted the guards.

The cold-faced waitress moved neatly, dodging left and right to avoid the pincer attack. She moved very quickly, only seeing a figure shuttle back and forth among the crowd, and heard a few "pops" in the air, followed by " Whoah!" Several howls sounded.When I looked again, the guards were lying on the ground like mud, their faces were swollen like a pig's head, their noses and tears were flowing, and they cried for a while.

The wicked girl stared at Mung Dou, and said: "Forget you, let's see!" After that, she slipped away.

Mei Wangqing poured out two ingots of silver from her purse, handed them to the prostitute, and asked the round-faced maid beside her to stay to help take care of the prostitute's father's funeral, then turned around with the cold-faced maid leave.

"Miss, wait..."

"My dear lady, don't leave yet."

An anxious male voice sounded.

Mei Wangqing paused, she stopped, and saw the prostitute man walking towards her quickly.

"What's the matter with you?"

Tears welled up in the prostitute man's eyes, and he said with emotion: "Xiao Qing has nothing to repay Miss's life-saving grace. I wish... I wish to serve Miss as a slave for the rest of my life..."

Mei Wangqing sighed softly, and said, "It doesn't have to be like this, it's just a little effort for me!"

"Jiufang will help you take care of your father's funeral, and then hire a carriage to take you back home."

After Mei Wangqing finished speaking, she left the place with the cold-faced waitress.

Cyclamen comes to the private room on the second floor by the window, where you can clearly see what happened downstairs, but you can't hear the words in the mouth clearly.

"This is the daughter of Anping who was put on a green hat by Mrs. Sun. After seeing this enlightened person, she also understands human affairs. Not to mention that this prostitute looks very charming..." Su Lingyu sighed.

Cui Wenyin disagreed: "Anping's daughter is kind-hearted, but she just offered to help, and did not buy this young master."

Su Lingyu didn't believe it: "It's clear that the money has been paid, and a personal servant is still left to deal with it. After the matter is over, I will definitely bring this young master back to the palace."

Chi Yanfei opened her lips: "The world's daughter's eyes are clear, this young man's expression is moved, but also full of disappointment, he is clearly tempted but has not been sold."

Cui Wenyin nodded, and continued: "Anping's daughter left the maidservant to deal with it, in order to prevent that wicked girl from robbing this son..."

Su Lingyu said with emotion: "You two are both good people!"

Chi Yanfei asked: "Is that wicked girl your cousin?"

Su Lingyu said coldly: "The wicked girl Zhang is the cousin of the direct branch, and has nothing to do with me!"

Cui Wenyin frowned: "This family has been relying on Su Shiqing's name to do their best!"

Su Lingyu smiled: "Don't worry, the Zhang family won't last long..."

The bustle upstairs is still going on, but the bustle downstairs has long since dissipated.After watching the excitement, the crowd dispersed, went back to their homes, and were busy with their affairs.

Mei Wangqing looked left and scanned right. The streets in the capital are very wide, with square-cut bluestone slabs paved at the foot, and shops with wide-open doors and windows on both sides. Children running around with melodious laughter.In the capital, there are many rich and noble people, and most ordinary people have bright faces.

"Steamed buns cost a penny each, and steamed buns cost two pennies each..."

"Fried dough sticks, soy milk..."

"Wonton, wonton with big stuffing, thin skin and fresh soup..."

Mei Wangqing left the mansion at Chen Shi, which was still early, but at Si Shi, it was about 9:[-].She walked around for a long time, exhausted her energy, and she was really hungry at the moment, Mei Wangqing was so greedy for the delicious taste, she walked towards the roadside stall, and smiled gently: "Elder sister, Here are two bowls of wontons."

The stall owner grinned: "Okay!"

The stall is not big, and the owner of the stall is a middle-aged couple. The wife cooks the soup in front of the boiler, and the husband sits in the corner folding vegetables and washing dishes.Two oil-painted paulownia square tables, each with four stools.

Mei Wangqing picked a seat and was about to sit down, but Shi Wen gently stopped her, and she took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped the table first, then the stool, and stepped back when she was done, Mei Wangqing Wang Qing raised her eyebrows, then sat down.

The wontons were cooked quickly, and the stall owner's husband slowly walked over with a tray in both hands, and gently placed two bowls of wontons on the table: "Customers take it easy."

Steaming hot, the thick soup base looks like a long river, and the plump and floating wontons are like lively seabass swimming in it, and sprinkled with a few chopped green onions... Mei Wangqing swallowed her saliva, and she called Shiwen: "Come on, Let's taste it together..."

Shi Wen stood aside and did not move. There is a difference between master and servant, and she cannot cross the distance.

Mei Wangqing raised her head and frowned slightly: "I ordered two bowls, of course one bowl for each person, you know it's shameful to waste food? Do you want me to order you to sit down?"

Shi Wen hesitated for a moment, then she got up and sat down quietly, picked up the chopsticks, and ate slowly.

Mei Wangqing filled her stomach and sat quietly for a while.

It has been half a month since she came to this world. This is the first time for her to go out to parade. Anping Wang Fu was worried about the accident last time, so he recruited eight female guards to let her take it with her. Mei Wangqing shook her head. She didn't like it. Going out with too many people.The father and daughter stalemate for a while, and finally each backed down a step. Mei Wangqing only brought two maids with her, and said that these two were her personal maids, who took care of all her trivial matters, including bathing and combing hair, etc. Wait, she has to keep a distance from those four servants, it is best to pinch out the new flames of Xiao Peach Blossom early, with that shy and timid expression, she doesn't want to wash up in the morning after taking a bath every night. See you again.

As for the maid, Mei Wangqing carefully selected her. She was beautiful, gentle and amiable, named Jiufang, the housekeeper's niece. Her parents were the stewards of Zhuangzi. She was originally trained as a steward. She was smart, gentle and thoughtful. Good at dealing with people.Mei Wangqing is the future king of Anping, and now she is enlightened. Working by her side has a bright future. After all, the confidant of Anping's daughter is far better than a farm manager.Jiufang fell into Mei Wangqing's eyes, and the housekeeper Jiufang Mei Wangqing was very satisfied.

The other is cold-hearted and hot-hearted, with an outstanding appearance. Contrary to her outstanding appearance, her personality is silent and reserved, but she is very smart and knows how to read her face. Her name is Shiwen, she is a slave, and she was betrayed since she was a child. When she arrived at Prince Anping's Mansion, she was originally trained as a bodyguard, with good bones and outstanding martial arts skills. Mei Wangqing took her off her slave status and took her in as a maid by her side.

Mei Wangqing was very satisfied with the two maids, one civil and one military, one hot and the other cold.
