Early in the morning, Gao Xili brought Song Xiaobei to the entrance of the shop. He asked Xiao Ming to guard the door and be responsible for the safety of the shop. He was also involved in the security work and the fields of Shangguan Mansion. They knew that they had a heavy responsibility and did not dare to be careless.
After giving his instructions, Gao Xili, Gao Ximeng, and Shangguan Yu rushed to the Imperial Palace.
Song Xiaobei got off the carriage and found that the signboard was covered by red silk. Everyone was already there, so she said,"Sorry, I'm late."
"Sister, we just arrived," said Gao Xiyue with a smile.”Actually, she was the first to arrive. At dawn, her heart flew out of the palace walls, eager to experience this freedom and happiness.
In addition to the plants, the Gao siblings also gave Bao 'er and her unborn child a golden longevity lock and a jade pendant. Because Gao Xixu had something to do, he did not come to greet him. Shangguan Yu had given her a jade Guanyin.
Song Xiaobei was shocked by the potted plants at the door. She could tell that these were precious species. There was a small silver medal engraved on each pot of plants. The onlookers were stunned by the cards and wondered who the owner was.
"High, high, high." Song Xiaobei said to herself.
"What?"
"High-end, grand, and classy."
"As long as you like it."
Song Jiang pushed open the door and entered with the staff. Meiyi and Meier were already busy in the kitchen. Shangguan Yun had brought along two maids, Xiao Hua and Xiao Ni, who were already in the kitchen. The others dressed up and the door was opened again. Song Jiang pulled off the red silk and the stage at the door started singing. Four beautiful women stood on both sides of the door to welcome the guests.
Shangguan Yun had been very nervous at first, but when he saw Song Xiaobei calmly respond, he gradually relaxed. Song Xiaobei demonstrated and taught the guests how to season the food.
"Miss, what does 'Meisan' mean?”A man asked. He was Su Yue. Guan Supeng sat beside him with his head lowered. On the surface, he didn't show any emotion and would occasionally echo the other guests, but in reality, his heart was surging and his blood was boiling.
"Beauty number three."
"Why are you wearing a headscarf and a face cloth?"
"To prevent some things from getting on the food.”
"Now that you have no food, can you take off your veil and let us have a look?”
"Sure. However, only I took off my veil, and the other beauties were busy.”Song Xiaobei said. This was one of the reasons. In addition, if the princess and the young lady of a noble family carried the plates, it would damage their reputation and integrity.
"Good!" Everyone had the same thought.
Song Xiaobei stood in front of the guest and took off her face cloth.
A delicate and refined smiling face full of vitality appeared. That pair of discerning eyes was especially unforgettable.
"Wow!" Everyone praised.
Guan Supeng took a quick glance and lowered his head again. His heart was pounding.
"Young Lady is not married yet, right? I am willing to marry you."
Su Yue fell in love with Song Xiaobei at first glance.
"Meisan isn't married, but Young Master is too young and not my type.”
Everyone didn't know what a 'dish' was? They could vaguely understand the meaning behind it and laughed out loud.
"Miss, this Young Master is willing to marry you.”Another man said.
Song Xiaobei looked at the man. He was much worse than a noob. Although the "vegetable" was young, she was cute and good-looking. "You don't look good either," she said casually.”How could he understand love?
The man was a little embarrassed. He thought of the picture on the door and said,"I'm not handsome, but I'm talented."
Everyone laughed even more happily.
"You're very knowledgeable, right? I ask you,'Why did the apple fall from the tree?'”
The shop quieted down. This question stumped everyone.
"Meisan was a little rude just now and ruined everyone's mood. I'll sing a song to apologize to everyone." As she served the customers delicious food, she sang," Looking at the moon in the water through the fog, you can distinguish this unpredictable world. You can take away the clouds and flowers, and you can grasp the swaying season…"
The singing stopped and the applause was thunderous.
"Young Lady is extremely intelligent. Please forgive my rudeness.”The man was convinced. He decided to flip through the books to find the answer.
"Young Master, you flatter me." Meisan was also rude, so we're even.”
The customers came in and out of the shop one after another. Linglong and Gao Xiyue's maid, Rose, took turns to wash the dishes. The other beauties came and went, and they were busy until noon when the shop closed. Su Xiaoxiang was pregnant, and there was a bun shop nearby. They decided to only open for four hours. At this moment, the three beautiful men rushed over and everyone decided to go to the guest house. After Song Jiang and his family finished their work, they returned to the Imperial Residence. Other than Song Xiaobei, the other girls were all in high spirits.
A guard of King Qin's residence tasted the delicious food and brought doubts to his brother. This girl was amazing. One move after another, they were prepared to read a lot.
Song Xiaobei saw that the two little girls who were making the fire were quite good-looking, but there were many scars on their bodies. She had long known that the Shangguan couple had good characters, but she did not know who the culprit was.
Everyone sat down in different positions. Shangguan Yun took the initiative to sit with Xiao Hua and the others. Song Xiaobei knew that people as carefree as her were rare in ancient times.
The food was served, but it tasted worse than the food at Qingxiang Restaurant. Song Xiaobei didn't eat much, but Gao Xiyue was hungry and ate with relish.
"Sister, why did the apple fall from the tree by itself?”Gao Xiyue knew that no one in the world had ever thought about this question, and even if they did, few people knew about it.
"This answer won't be of much use to you, and it'll create new questions. The questions and answers were boring. If a guest made a rude remark, the beauties would ask similar questions, such as why was the sky blue? Why was there thunder and lightning? Why did he see lightning first and then hear thunder? Why could ice float on water? If the guest can speak some logic, I would like to meet him.”
Gao Xiyue wanted to say something. Gao Xili saw that Song Xiaobei was a little tired, so he gave her a look.
"Dear, change the potted plant at the door.”Song Xiaobei thought of 'high-class.'
"Why? You don't like it?"
"I like it. But we don't understand. It would be a pity if it was destroyed.”
"Sister, don't worry. Someone will take care of it." Gao Xiyue said with a smile, thinking that her sister had a lot to worry about.
The beauties were tired and dispersed after dinner. The palace maid massaged Gao Xiyue and Rose. Besides Rose, Peony, Jasmine, and Hibiscus were Gao Xiyue's personal maids. They were so envious of Rose. Gao Xiyue promised to take them out of the palace when she had time.
Shangguan Yun was so excited that he kept laughing in the carriage. It turned out that women could also live so brilliantly.
At night, Song Xiaobei and Gao Xili went to the side courtyard.
"Bao 'er, how was your homework today?”
It turned out that Song Xiaobei was testing Bao 'er. Every time Song Jiang received a sum of money, Bao' er, who was sitting beside the counter, would record it. The child's calculation was exactly the same as the amount of money in Song Jiang's hand.
"Bao 'er, awesome!" Song Xiaobei was very happy and gave the child a big hug. She finally managed to hold back and did not leave a kiss on his face.
Song Xiaobei reminded Song Jiang and the others that they could earn less money and must put their family first.
Sanssouci Palace
"Palace Master, tell me, how can I make 'Meisan' like me?”Su Yue had always been thinking about Song Xiaobei. No woman had ever caught his eye.
"Xiao Er, you can't like her."
"Because I'm young? Is it because I'm not her type?"
"Neither."
"I don't care." Su Yue suddenly understood and asked,"Palace Master, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her?”
"That's right."
"Where's the woman who made you lose your mind last time? He was defeated?"
"No, she has always been in my heart.”
"Palace Master wants to have two wives? Good Palace Master, can you give me Meisan?”
"Absolutely not!"
"Why?"
"Because it's the same person."
"What? Palace Master, what do you have to compete with them? Look at those cards. You can't afford to offend any of them.”
"I will never give up." Guan Supeng said, but his expression was gloomy. His disgraceful past made him feel ashamed of himself.
The next day, Gao Xiyue didn't come. Instead of " Mei Liu "," Mei Qi ", Furong, came. Song Xiaobei understood. As a princess, she couldn't do whatever she wanted. She was also grateful for her thoughtfulness. There were guards at the door, so no one made trouble. The work in the shop was busy and orderly.
Song Xiaobei took off her veil at someone's request.
The man's eyes were wide open. If even " Mei San " was so beautiful, then " Mei Yi " and " Mei Er "…
"Mei San, can I see Mei Yi and Mei Er's beautiful faces?”
"I'm sorry, the kitchen is very busy. There were countless things to admire, so there was no need to focus on a woman's appearance.”
"This Young Master wants to see it!"
"I really can't. The kitchen can't be short of people.”
The man took out ten taels of silver and placed them on the table. He slowly said,"This Young Master insists on watching!"
Song Xiaobei had no choice but to go into the kitchen and take over their work. She said,"Auntie, Sister-in-law should go out and say hello.”
Mrs. Su thought that something was wrong and quickly brought her daughter out of the kitchen. She even asked,""What happened?"
Everyone burst into laughter when they realized that the two girls were actually an old woman and a pregnant woman.
Seeing that the shop was fine, Mrs. Su returned to the kitchen with her daughter in confusion.
Song Xiaobei came out and said seriously," Everyone has different standards of beauty. I think my mother is the most beautiful and my mother is the greatest.”
The man started to get angry. Song Xiaobei's words made him realize how shallow he was.
After sending off the last batch of guests, the beauties looked at each other and smiled. After work, she didn't have to face some boring customers.
Song Xiaobei invited everyone to the Imperial Residence for dinner.
"Yun, Rose, are you used to it? If you find it hard, you don't have to come tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone else.”Song Xiaobei was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle it. Not everyone could handle being busy for four hours.
"Sister Bei, I like this job. She was a little tired, but she would be fine after a nap.”
"Sister Bei, we're fine too."
"Alright, if you guys can't come one day, get someone to send a message so that I can arrange for more people.”
"Yes, Sister Bei."
Shangguan Yun and the others went home after dinner. Xiao Liang sent the two flowers back to the palace.
"Xiaobei, all the men in the world have seen your face.”Gao Xili received Xiao Ming's report and wished he could gouge his eyes out.
"Dear, are you jealous?"
"Yes, I don't want anyone to have any improper thoughts about you.”
"Darling, you're so cute. I will meet all kinds of people in the service industry. I can only let go when the shop is on the right track.”
"Master, the Fourth Prince is here." Ling Long's voice sounded from the door.”
"Got it. Invite Fourth Brother to the pavilion to prepare tea.”
"Yes."
"Greetings, Fourth Brother."
"Hello, Fourth Brother! Eh? The little girl had delicate features and was exquisitely crafted. Fourth Brother's daughter? Sister, give me a hug." Song Xiaobei asked. There were only boys and no girls in the Imperial Residence. She held the child in her arms, and the love on her face was obvious.
"It's my daughter, Ruhua. She's six years old.”
"Fourth Brother, bring the children out more often. The world at home is too small. She grew up slowly and was bound by the rules. It was difficult for her to go out even if she wanted to.”
"Xiaobei is right. The child liked the dumplings he brought back last time. Today, he gave me some grapes, and Hua 'er thought of you.”
"Thank you, Hua 'er, for thinking of Sister. Thank you, Hua' er, for the grapes.”
Ruhua whispered,"It's okay. It's fine as long as sister likes it."”She was very happy. Although she had brothers and sisters, they had never looked at her in the eye and even bullied her. Because she was a concubine.
Exquisite brought over the washed grapes.
Song Xiaobei used a small pair of silver tweezers to hold Ruhua. "Girls will be more beautiful if they eat more fruits.”He whispered in her ear, making Ruhua giggle.
"So sweet!" Song Xiaobei also ate one. The grapes were not only sweet, but their skin was also very thin. The grapes entered his stomach along with the skin and meat.
"Why are you so stupid? Why didn't you know it was raining?”Bao 'er's voice sounded.
"You can't draw." Liu Zifei counterattacked.
"That's because I don't like learning. I asked you, how much is twenty-five multiplied by eighty?”
The two lackeys were speechless.
"Sister!" Bao 'er waved her hand and ran over with her little sidekick behind her.
Song Xiaobei let everyone eat the fruit and said,""This is big sister Ruhua. Take big sister to play. Remember not to go to dangerous and remote places.”
"Okay, sister."
Bao 'er pulled Ruhua's hand and ran away. Liu Zifei and Zhao Qing followed closely behind.
"Fourth Brother, dear, wait a moment."
Song Xiaobei watched as the children chased the birds as they ran. They wanted to give the little girl a different present.
She went back to her room to get a knife, a piece of white paper, and an eyebrow pencil. She went to the pavilion and cut the paper into small pieces. The eyebrow pencil danced quickly on the paper. He drew a total of twenty-five of them and marked the page number. She held the painting in her hand and flipped through it quickly. The picturesque figure on the paper " moved ", running or jumping. The brothers were fascinated.
"Xiaobei, thank you!"
"Fourth Brother, you don't have to be so polite.”
On the way home, the girl couldn't put down the painting, and her words were filled with love for Prince Li's residence. So was Gao Xixu. If there were women in the residence who were half as good as Song Xiaobei, he would not go out often.
