235 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 234

Chapter 233 Changting Alley, Liumian Pavilion

The four of them came to Beiluo Lane in a carriage. Xiao Xing’er and Tao’er lined up to buy the new sweet plum cakes from Cao’s shop, and then the carriage drove to Xie’s sweet shop in Dongzhi Lane.

Zhao Shuyu and Gao Qinxue drank a bowl of drunken flower drink in the sugar water shop. The drunken flower drink was mixed with fermented rice wine, which suited Zhao Shuyu’s taste. She couldn’t satisfy her craving even after drinking two bowls, which made Gao Qinxue laugh constantly.

“Why is sister Yu’er such a drunkard?”

Gao Qinxue glanced at her and started teasing.

With her lotus fingers raised slightly, she scooped up a spoonful of drunken flower drink and put it into her mouth.

“It makes my sister laugh. Yu’er really likes this cup of fragrant spring. I often drink the winter snow wine at home secretly.”

The drunken flower drink was mixed with wine, and Zhao Shuyu showed some temperament after drinking it.

The two of them laughed and talked for a while. Gao Qinxue was also a little drunk, and her ladylike restraint gradually disappeared. Her eyes became softer and more charming. With a curl of her lips, she leaned closer to Zhao Shuyu and whispered: “I heard that there is something interesting in Liu Mian Pavilion today. Would you like to go with me to see it?”

Zhao Shuyu blinked. Liu Mian Pavilion sounded familiar. It seemed to be quite famous, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.

Zhao Shuyu was about to ask, when Xiao Xing’er and Tao’er came back buying snacks.

Gao Qinxue stretched out her hand to touch Zhao Shuyu’s lips and smiled charmingly, “It’s no longer interesting to say that. My sister just wants to go or not.”

Zhao Shuyu didn’t have a restful temper. Looking at Gao Qinxue’s mysterious appearance, she couldn’t help but be filled with curiosity.

Without thinking much, he nodded.

Gao Qinxue pursed her lips and smiled, then asked Tao’er to give her two ingots of silver to take Xing’er to have a drink.

After sending away the two maids, Gao Qinxue took Zhao Shuyu to Changting Lane on the bank of Yuye Lake in the west of the city.

Speaking of which, Changting Lane has a very elegant name, and it is also the famous Yanliu Lane in Jinzhou City.

They are not the kind of low-level kilns that can be visited by peddlers or ordinary people. The alleys are filled with first-class gold-selling caves.

At the end of the alley is the famous Yaoyue Tower on the bank of Yuye Lake. In the middle of the alley are several Hualou restaurants, all of which are popular places for spending money.

At the end of the alley, there is a shade of weeping willows.

An elegant, nameless teahouse is located here. There are no people coming and going outside, so it is quite clean.

Gao Qinxue led Zhao Shuyu into the tea house by familiar routes.

Not long after, a delicate-looking tea boy came forward and without greeting the guests, he just put down three cups of tea in front of each of them.

On the plain peach wood table, there is a cup of bright clear soup without flowers or leaves, and a cup of single-flowered jasmine floating on the tea surface.

There is also a cup of willow leaf infused tea, which is full of aroma.

Zhao Shuyu had never seen such a way of drinking tea before, and found it strange. She was about to reach out to pick up the cup of single-flowered jasmine, but Gao Qinxue reached out and stopped her.

Then, Gao Qinxue tapped the rim of the cup of willow leaf tea.

The tea boy understood immediately and bowed down.

After the tea boy left, Gao Qinxue casually picked up a cup of tea and drank it.

Zhao Shuyu looked confused, but Gao Qinxue smiled at her and said, “Sister, I will know later.”

Not long after, another child came over. The child was only eight or nine years old, but he was quite well-mannered. He said in a gentle and gentle voice: “If you two nobles have rested, you can come with me.”

Hearing this, Gao Qinxue looked at Zhao Shuyu and said, “Let’s go, sister.”

Then, the two of them entered the backyard of the tea house under the guidance of the child.

In a side room, they were served and put on veils.

Zhao Shuyu felt a little uneasy. What kind of place was Liu Mian Pavilion? Why couldn’t they show their true colors?
