Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

While reminding Gu Yanshu, Zhige couldn't help but glance at the teahouse in front of him.

But nothing was seen.

The three-storey building in front of me was completely covered up and down with sackcloth, so that outsiders couldn't see what was going on inside.

You can know without asking, this is Gu Yanshu's explanation.

In Gu Yanshu's words, that is to maintain a sense of mystery.

After all, when renovating the teahouse this time, Gu Yanshu added a lot of modern rest and entertainment methods into it.

There is not only a place to drink tea and listen to books, but also a chess room and a reading area for students to read and communicate.

Before opening, these things naturally need to be hidden.

After Gu Yanshu got off the carriage, seeing such a scene, there was a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Lifting his hand, he took Zhi Ge and walked into the teahouse.

Because it was known from the beginning that Gu Yanshu would come today, the shopkeeper Zhao and the foreman in charge of this teahouse naturally waited at the door early.

Now seeing Gu Yanshu coming, he rushed forward to greet him, not daring to slack off in the slightest:

"I have seen Her Royal Highness Princess Li."

"Excuse me, I heard from the person you sent yesterday that the project can already be completed?"

Gu Yanshu didn't stop, walking towards the teahouse while talking.

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly leaned over, followed behind Gu Yanshu and replied:

"Everything has been done according to the requirements of the princess, but I don't know if there are any omissions."

While speaking, Gu Yanshu had already stepped into the gate of the teahouse.

Unlike the empty Tao Ranju, the tables and chairs in the tea house have almost entered the venue at this time.

Entering the door, the purpose of entering is a small room, which is not only used as a partition, but also used for welcoming guests, cashier and checkout.

From this room, approaching the teahouse, one can see the patio that occupies half of the lobby.

In the very center of the courtyard, a stage was set up.

Around the stage, there are more than a dozen tea tables scattered in other places.

If others enter by mistake, they may think that this is a theater, not a tea house.

Looking up from the patio, you can have a panoramic view of the two floors above.

The second and third floors were divided into small rooms with windows near the patio.

Gu Yanshu had craftsmen do special soundproofing for these small private rooms.

At that time, if you like the programs on the stands

You can open the window to watch, if you don't want to watch, just close the window, you can enjoy a quiet room.

Going around the patio and walking inwards, you can see another small partition made of gardens. Pass through the gardens and the nine-curved corridor in between, and you can see the rest area behind.

The rest area here also has a patio in the middle.

The first floor is a chess room, where guests can drink tea and play chess with relatives and friends for entertainment and communication.

If you don't want to play chess, open the door in the courtyard and play some small games like throwing pots.

The second floor is a place reserved by Gu Yanshu for those storytellers.

Going up to the third floor is the entire reading area.

Five or six rows of bookshelves are placed neatly in the reading area, and there is a circle of tea seats near the patio.

People who come to read can drink tea while reading.

If you are interested, you can also open the skylight near the patio and have an impromptu book meeting with the people downstairs.

It is also thanks to the fact that the teahouse originally occupies a large enough area, and there is a small courtyard behind it.

Otherwise, this is a stage, a partition, and a rest area... It is really not an easy task to make it grand and not cramped.

Originally, shopkeeper Zhao meant that the stage could be removed.

After all, they are teahouses, not opera troupes.

Who knew that Gu Yanshu directly vetoed Manager Zhao's proposal, and even said that the rest area can be omitted, but the stage must be kept.

Gu Yanshu's attitude was firm, and shopkeeper Zhao didn't dare to persuade him too much, so he could only follow suit.

To Shopkeeper Zhao's surprise, the final result was much better than he had imagined.

This effect is not only much better than the shopkeeper Zhao thought, but even slightly better than what Gu Yanshu imagined.

Perhaps it was because the craftsmen returned to work a few times at the beginning, it can be seen that the teahouse workers are working extremely hard now.

Naturally, there is no problem with the acceptance of this teahouse.

The teahouse has already been renovated, and it will open for business when the tea sets are delivered from Taoran Kiln Factory tomorrow.

Although Gu Yanshu is eager to open source now, he is not so anxious yet.

After thinking about it for a while, according to the custom of Tianqi people, he chose an auspicious day and set the reopening time four days later.

While there is extra time for publicity, it can also give the guys who originally worked in the teahouse a little preparation time to do the last pre-job training.

training.

After leaving shopkeeper Zhao, Gu Yanshu went straight to another teahouse.

Both teahouses were designed by Gu Yan, so they are naturally very similar in style.

It follows the style of the tea house managed by shopkeeper Zhao.

This tea house still has a large patio, stage, garden partition and rest area.

The difference is that in the rest area at the back, there is no bookshelf on the third floor, but it is divided into small rooms with reclining chairs, rugs, etc. inside.

In addition, the overall style of this teahouse is softer than the one managed by Shopkeeper Zhao.

Even the curtains hanging by the windows are mostly bright and fancy colors.

Another big difference is that the shopkeeper of this teahouse is a woman named Yao.

When he discovered this, even Zhi Ge felt a little surprised.

Zhige doesn't think that if there is no woman, he should stay in the back house obediently. During the years of border wars, Zhige has also seen many aggressive women outside the customs who are not inferior to men.

But one thing that has to be admitted is that Tianqi has strict restrictions on women, and most of them only embroider in the boudoir, take care of their husbands and teach their children.

It is very rare for Mrs. Yao to show her face outside and manage such a large teahouse.

But soon, from the conversation between Gu Yanshu and Mrs. Yao, Zhige knew why Gu Yanshu handed over this teahouse to Mrs. Yao to manage.

Compared with Tao Ranju and the other teahouse, the location of this teahouse is not good.

To be precise, it is because of the geographical location of this teahouse that it is not suitable for opening a teahouse.

Because apart from this teahouse, the whole street is full of rouge powder, head jewelry and silk shops.

Although women would occasionally come to the teahouse to sit for a while, they were still only a minority, and most of them would come to the teahouse to sit, and the majority were men.

However, the men who come to this street are basically the servants of the big family, so why would they come to sit around?

And this shop originally sold rouge, gouache and other things.

It's just that after Mrs. Gu passed away, these properties were handed over to the people who Mrs. Gu brought as a dowry from the Mu Mansion to manage them, and finally they were handed over to Gu Yanli.

Gu Yanli, a big man who likes to practice martial arts, how can he understand the matter of rouge and gouache?

Once you come and go, the shop will lose money.

Seeing this, Gu Yanli felt that something was wrong, so he

So he closed the Rouge shop and opened a tea house, at least Gu Yanli could understand it compared to the Rouge shop.

Although the teahouse is still losing money, it is much better than when the Rouge shop was opened.

As for why not sell this shop?

May I ask which two kinds of money are the best in the world?

Naturally, it is the money of women and children!

The street where this teahouse is located is the favorite place for girls in Tianqi Beijing on weekdays, which shows its ability to attract money.

It is also because of this that as early as ten years ago, the shops on this street were already in a situation where prices were not available and a shop was hard to find.

Although Gu Yanli doesn't understand rouge and gouache, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand this shop.

In addition, Gu Yanli planned to leave these things for Gu Yanshu to marry a wife.

Thinking that the rouge and gouache can be supported again when the younger siblings come in the future, so they left the shop behind.

Who knew that in the end, the younger siblings didn't wait, but his younger brother became someone else's wife.

A few days ago, the shopkeeper who managed this teahouse heard that Gu Yanshu wanted to close the shop for rectification, and told Gu Yanshu about the history.

Thinking that since it is going to be rectified, it is better to close the teahouse and make rouge and gouache again.

Who knew that Gu Yanshu did modify the plan of this teahouse a little after hearing what the shopkeeper said.

However, as the shopkeeper thought, he did not close the teahouse and sell rouge and gouache instead.

Instead, with a swipe of a pen, he directly changed the design drawing of the teahouse, directly transforming the teahouse into a women's leisure club.

And also promoted Mrs. Yao to be the shopkeeper of this teahouse.

As for the original shopkeeper of this teahouse?

Gu Yanshu did some investigation and found out that the shopkeeper was the one who used to manage the rouge and gouache business, so he directly fired him.

If Gu Yanli doesn't understand him, can he still understand?

A store with an excellent geographical location and a stable supply of goods, if there are no major accidents, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly lose money.

At first glance, the shopkeeper relied on Gu Yanli as a man, so he was impatient to understand the rouge and gouache, and had a crooked idea.

How could Gu Yanshu keep such a person?

Not to mention that this teahouse has now been turned into a women's leisure club, and it seems inappropriate to use a man as the shopkeeper. In the end, Gu Yanshu chose Lady Yao.

Facts have proved that Gu Yanshu has a good eye for people.

Lady Yao was originally only in the area near the Taoran Kiln Factory.

A housekeeper lady in the manor, but after being instructed by Gu Yanshu, she is now acting vigorously and resolutely.

The degree to which Mrs. Yao can make Gu Yanshu feel at ease in her work can be said to be second only to Prince Li's Mansion and Shopkeeper Tang.

With such an iron lady supervisor, there is naturally no need for rectification and rework in this teahouse.

Like the other teahouse, this one was finally scheduled to reopen in four days.

After confirming the details of the opening four days later with Mrs. Yao, Gu Yanshu left the teahouse with Zhi Ge.

After coming out of the teahouse, Gu Yanshu found that Zhi Ge's expression seemed a bit wrong.

Perhaps it was because he had been with Qin Lu for a long time, and Zhi Ge often had a straight face on weekdays.

Even sometimes, Zhi Ge's expression is even less than Qin Lu's, and he is a veritable iceberg.

But after getting along for a long time, if you look carefully, you can still detect the changes on his face.

When he first discovered this, Gu Yanshu still murmured in his heart.

As expected, Zhi Ge is the most useful person around Qin Lu, one big and one small, they are all sullen.

Looking at Zhige's face again, after confirming that it wasn't the vigilant expression when he was in danger, Gu Yanshu didn't ask any more.

How did Gu Yanshu know that Zhi Ge was completely overwhelmed by the decoration in the teahouse.

Taoran kiln made glass, and the main courtyard of the Wangfu is currently being repaired. Zhige knows that the princess is going to replace all the windows with glass windows.

But Zhige did not expect that this teahouse would actually use the glass windows one step ahead of the main courtyard of the Wangfu.

The effect of the glass window was better than Zhi Ge imagined. Even though the outside of the teahouse was covered by the linen cloth at this time, brighter light could still shine through the glass window.

In addition, the floor of the tea house was even paved with high-quality bluestone bricks, which looked extremely smooth at first glance.

Even though he has been with Qin Lu all the year round and has seen a lot, Zhi Ge couldn't help but be moved by Gu Yanshu's generosity at this time.

Fortunately, Gu Yanshu didn't ask what Zhi Ge was thinking just now.

If asked, Gu Yanshu might tell Zhi Ge.

It's just glass windows and bluestone tile floors, where is it?

The main courtyard of the Wangfu that is currently being repaired is truly a masterpiece!
