275 Treating Guests to Dinner Is a Troublesome Thing



275 Treating Guests, Eating is a Troublesome Matter

Feng Qingchen only knew that Zhufeng Tower was the best restaurant in Dongling Imperial City. Of course, he had to choose the best place when inviting people to dinner or asking them to do things. However, he didn't know that the door of Zhufeng Tower was not open.

To enter Zhufeng Tower, one must match the couplet written by the previous guest, and then come up with another couplet.

"It's just a meal, why is it so troublesome? It's really a hassle." Feng Qingchen stood at the door, feeling so depressed: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" If she had known this, she would rather die than go to this Zhufeng Tower.

The maid lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Everyone in the imperial city knows it."

It is just like a poetry gathering. To enter, one must compose a poem on the theme of flowers. When one arrives at Zhufeng Tower, one must compose a couplet of Zhufeng Tower and add another couplet.

Zhu Feng means to chase the world's romanticism. People who come to Zhu Feng Tower to eat are mostly here for this couplet. If you can come up with an absolute match or write an absolute, you will definitely become famous all over the world.

"Can we change the place?" Feng Qingchen knew very well his own ability. Making couplets was extremely difficult.

She could barely recite a few poems, but could she make couplets? Not to mention that she couldn't recite them. Even if she could, she might not be able to use them. It all depended on what couplets people gave her.

The maid lowered her head even lower: "If you change the venue, everyone will know that you can't match the couplets of Zhufeng Tower." A new wave of rumors is about to start.

It is common sense to make couplets when dining at Zhufeng Tower, but Feng Qingchen just doesn't know: "Who opened this Zhufeng Tower to set such a messed up rule?"

Uh... the maid's head almost dropped to the ground: "Zhufeng Tower is the property of the Wang family. It was built by the eldest son. The rules were also set by the eldest son. Everyone is proud to eat at Zhufeng Tower. Many talented people have become famous in Zhufeng Tower."

Therefore, it is easy for the Wang family to book a seat at the Wind Chasing Tower. The maid thought for a moment and added, "Miss, the seat that Butler Wang has booked is in the private room on the second floor. There is a pair of seats at the door of the private room. You have to face each other to enter. Otherwise, you can only sit downstairs."

They found that there were many things in Dongling that even three-year-old children knew, but their young lady didn't know them, so they had to explain them obediently.

Feng Qingchen's expression became more and more ugly. Looking at the three words "Zhufeng Tower", his eyes were about to spit fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "After I answer those two pairs, do I have to keep two pairs?"

"Yes, miss." The maid breathed a sigh of relief. Their mistress finally understood.

"Is there anyone who can be an exception?" As for the Wang family's assets, Wang Jinling should be an exception, Feng Qingchen thought to himself.

"No, even if the eldest master comes, he still has to follow the rules of Zhufeng Tower." This is why Zhufeng Tower is so sought after by many people.

"Really? Then what if the pair left by the previous person is too difficult and she can't match it?" Isn't there some very difficult absolute? What should she do if she encounters it?

"Miss, you can rest assured. The manager of Zhufeng Tower is Mr. Shuyan. If the couplet is too difficult to come up with, Mr. Shuyan will come up with another one. Mr. Shuyan is the leader of the Eight Great Masters of Kyushu and has great literary talent." The little maid explained in a delicate voice, praising Mr. Shuyan in her words.

"How could such a person come to manage the Zhufeng Tower?" Aren't all scholars noble and aloof, so noble that they would not bow down for a few pieces of rice? Could it be that Wang Jinling gave ten pieces of rice, so the other party bowed down?

The maid seemed to have known that Feng Qingchen would ask this question. She raised her head and said proudly, "Miss, the reason why Mr. Shuyan stayed in Zhufeng Tower is because Mr. Shuyan was slightly better than the eldest son. Mr. Shuyan was willing to accept the bet and come to Zhufeng Tower to manage the affairs according to the conditions proposed by the eldest son. Of course, Mr. Shuyan does not manage the affairs of the restaurant, he only manages these elegant matters."

"I see. But losing to the eldest young master is not a shameful thing." Feng Qingchen knew about Wang Jinling's talent. Although Wang Jinling rarely showed it in front of her, she could guess a thing or two from rumors.

After three months of study, he was able to be sent off by dignitaries from all over the country and was invited to give lectures at the Jixia Academy. Such people can be counted on one hand.

The Jixia Academy is a gathering place for scholars from all over the world. Those who can take the lecture platform are all white-haired, talented and virtuous. The fact that Jin Ling can take the lecture platform is a recognition of his talent and character.

"Since we're here, let's go and see if we can get into the Zhufeng Tower." Comparing herself with the talented men and women here, Feng Qingchen realized that all her more than ten years of studying in the modern world were in vain. She learned a lot of random things, but she was not proficient in the real Chinese studies.

"Miss, please stay."

Feng Qingchen had just walked to the entrance of the Wind Chasing Tower when she saw a woman in front of her being stopped by the Wind Chasing people: "Miss, I don't need to tell you the rules of the Wind Chasing Tower. Everyone knows that if you don't match this pair, you can't enter."

"I reserved a seat three months ago. Why won't you let me in?" The pink-dressed girl's cheeks flushed red, and her eyes looked left and right from time to time. When she noticed that people on the street were looking at her from time to time, her face turned even redder.

I am afraid of losing face, which is understandable.

Feng Qingchen admired Wang Jinling's move. It was too ruthless. The place for making couplets was right at the gate. This way, if you couldn't make one, you wouldn't be embarrassed to stay, without anyone from Zhufeng Tower telling you.

Of course, the woman in pink in front is an exception, and she is probably unwilling to accept this.

"Zhufeng Tower has its own rules. Miss, please respect yourself. Even if you made a reservation three years ago, let alone three months ago, you still won't be allowed in if you don't get the couple right." Zhufeng Tower has only one waiter, who is neither humble nor arrogant, and behaves with moderation. He is more polite than the young men from ordinary families.

Feng Qingchen nodded: "Young Master's Zhufeng Tower is really great." Even the waiters are of such high quality, no wonder it is so hard to get a seat.

"Do you know who I am?" The woman in pink raised her chin high with a look of pride.

"Miss, I don't know who you are and I don't want to know. If I tell you your identity, you will be the only one who will be embarrassed. Miss, my Zhufeng Tower is open for business. Please make way, a customer is coming." The waiter did not take the woman in pink seriously. He had seen too many customers like this.

The pink-dressed woman wanted to say something, but the man in the royal blue gown beside her quickly pulled her over and said, "Okay, Jingyue, stop messing around."

"But, brother, don't you want to see Mr. Shuyan? We can't even enter Zhufeng Tower, how can we see Mr. Shuyan?" The woman in pink pouted, looking aggrieved.

"With my talent and knowledge, I can't even enter the Zhufeng Tower. How can Mr. Shuyan be willing to see me?" The man looked a little lonely and self-deprecating.

"No, it's obviously them, the Zhufeng Tower, who are bullying others. What kind of couplet is this? They even say it's not absolute when it's obvious that people can't match it." The woman in pink was unwilling and looked at the waiter hatefully.

"I don't believe they can figure it out. I want to see how Zhufeng Tower drives people away." Jingyue clasped her arms and glared at Feng Qingchen angrily.

Feng Qingchen already knew what had happened here, but she pretended not to see it and walked forward slowly, feeling secretly depressed. She was afraid that the pair that Zhufeng Tower had brought out today was very unusual, and she didn't know if she could step into the gate of Zhufeng Tower.

She wanted to invite Wang Jinling to dinner, but she couldn't even get in the door. Wang Jinling would laugh at her then...
