79 79. The reopening tea shop. Part one.

Yu Fengyao left Meican Hall on his gallant horse gloomily. Minister Su left himself so quickly that the prince could not stop him. Remembering his Imperial Brother's advice, Yu Wang could only do it another time.

"Wangye, you're back!" Chen Fuqui's voice; His Wangfu's head steward awakened Yu Wang, who was struggling with thoughts.

Yu Wang looked at the Wangfu gate subconsciously. It was the horse; Zhanshi which had already brought him back to Wangfu when he was lost in thought. Getting off the horse, the prince headed straight for Su Qingyi's residence. He needed consolation from his charming wife for failing to establish a relationship with Minister Su as the grandson-in-law. Yu Wang walked faster when he thought about his alone time together with his wife.

"Where's Wangfei?"

Yu Wang saw that Hongmei Courtyard did not have his wife's presence, looking gloomy so he asked Butler Chen about his wife whereabout.

"Reported Wangye, Wangfei went to visit the Relaxing Jade Pavilion; Wangfei's heritage tea shop. Starting today, the tea shop has begun to reopen after being taken over by Wangfei and repairing the messy management before."

"Why doesn't this Prince know that news?"

Yu Wang looked angry at Butler Chen because he didn't get any news from Chen Fuqui regarding the reopening of the tea shop.

"Report Wangye, this butler did not tell this news to Wangye because Wangfei forbade this butler to tell this. Wangfei said Wangye is too busy taking care of the problems given by the Emperor so Wangfei does not want to add to Wangye's burdens for trivial things like that."

Hearing that his wife forbade Butler Chen to tell the news because she was worried about him made Yu Fengyao feel warm inside him. It turns out that this is what makes his Imperial brother like to marry his Imperial sister-in-law.

"Alright then, this prince won't blame you. Next time, you should keep telling me things like this to this prince. This Prince doesn't like not knowing where Wangfei is."

"Yes, this butler understand."

Knowing that his wife was going to the Relaxing Jade Pavilion, Yu Fengyao intended to go there too. Notifying his group of friends, Yu Fengyao invited them all to enliven the opening of Su Qingyi's tea shop. He should at least help his wife increase the sales of Su Qingyi's tea shop.

"Wangfei."

Su Qingyi had just arrived at the Relaxing Jade Pavilion when the new manager; Shi Ming's manager greeted her. Looking at the man who looked simple and naïve wearing the manager's blue silk uniform, Su Qingyi saw the manager's eyes that looked smart and astute. This man fits to be the manager of the teahouse. Manager Shen Wu found a suitable person to take care of this tea shop.

Looking around at the tea shop which looked elegant after the simple renovations that were carried out after being taken over by her husband, Su Qingyi seemed to like the results. Previously, this tea shop was taken over by the members of the Su family after her mother died, they tried to make this tea shop look striking and at first glance look excessive.

"This tea shop looks nice now, not gaudy like before," mumble Su Qingyi.

"Wangfei can go to the 3rd floor, this one had a private room specially prepared there. This manager will prepare the tea in your private room."

"Alright, this Wangfei has heard that Manager Shi has good skills in tea-making ceremonies. This Wangfei wants to try it. "

"Of course, this manager will prepare the tea and serve you."

Su Qingyi entered the tea shop and walked towards the private room on the 3rd floor of the tea shop. During her walk, Su Qingyi looked through the renovations that were carried out according to her wishes. The more she saw the renovation results, Su Qingyi liked the tea shop which from now on belonged to her.

The Relaxing Jade Pavilion had three floors. In the middle of the first floor previously there was a large stage where usually there were performances of either music or opera and dance players. Two floors above, you can see the stage because the part of the stage is open to the roof of the tea shop building which is made of shock-resistant black stone. In the past, the first floor was a floor for the public. The second floor was for lower class nobles while the third floor was for upper-class nobles. But, now Su Qingyi will give the member cards to the tea shop visitors.

The member will get a discount for the tea shop products. The tea shop products is tea drinks made from leaves and flowers. The shop also has snacks and desserts whose recipes were given by Su Qingyi to be made by the kitchen employees in the tea shop. All the tea shop employees are old employees who were gathered by Manager Shi after he became the new manager at Relaxing Jade Pavilion. This manager realized that the recipe given by Wangfei was a recipe for foods and drinks that no one had made before, so he felt that the old staffs which loyal to Madam Xu before are the only ones that can keep the recipe given by Wangfei as a secret.

Su Qingyi who realized how strict Manager Shi was trying to guard the food recipes given by her could only roll her eyes feeling funny. The food recipes she provides are only the easiest food recipes found in her space tool. This young woman realized that she was a maniac foodie in her previous life because she collected a lot of food recipes from various places. She can also make all the food recipes contained in her space tool, making her amazed.

The member's card made by Su Qingyi can be used in any shop she owns and has a unique symbol; The crescent moon and lotus flower that were placed beside all the initials of her heritage shop's name. The emblem was made with Yu ten's unique engraving method so that no one would be able to make a fake card. There are three types of member cards; namely bronze, silver, gold. This member card can only be obtained after the consumer has spent money until a certain purchase. The advantages of having this member card are great apart from getting discounts at various shops owned by Su Qingyi. When hearing about the benefits the members will get, it even makes Manager Shi want to become a member.
