Chapter: 1758

After dispersing, Tang Sihai returned to his office, sat down at his seat, and then received a phone call from Ye Chen.

He was delighted and quickly answered the phone, asking politely: "Young Master, how did you think of calling me?"

Ye Chen asked: "Tang, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"It's fine," Tang Sihai hurriedly replied. "I'm in my office here, which is very safe and has good confidentiality measures. You can say whatever you want."

Ye Chen nodded slightly and said calmly: "I'm currently in Yanjing and would like to meet you. Do you have time?"

Tang Sihai was surprised and asked: "Young Master, are you really in Yanjing? What's the matter?"

Ye Chen said: "I've been here for two days, taking care of some things, and plan to leave tomorrow. I want to see you before I go."

Tang Sihai immediately said: "No problem, Young Master. Please come to the Guangyuan Tea House in the Huaguang Guildhall. That's my business."

"Ye Chen said: 'Alright, I'll go now.'"

Tang Sihai hurriedly said: "I'll set out immediately too!"

The Huaguang Guildhall was a building from the Qing dynasty, used to entertain candidates from Huguang who were taking the imperial exams. It had a bit of resemblance to the Qing government's offices in Yanjing, and later gradually developed into a place where old Yanjing residents would gather to listen to music and appreciate tea arts.

Tang Sihai invested in a tea house at the Huaguang Guildhall. This tea house was ancient and exuded a certain charm, with Tang Sihai often coming here to relax or entertain friends on a daily basis.

As Tang Sihai's current identity as a butler of the Ye family in Yanjing, he felt like a prominent figure here, aside from the top-tier aristocratic families. Other family heads would show him respect and courtesy, so his tea house business was thriving, with many notable figures enjoying coming to socialize.

When Ye Chen arrived at the Huaguang Guildhall, Tang Sihai had already gotten there before him.

He personally greeted Ye Chen at the entrance, only to see that he was accompanied by a woman wearing a mask. He was taken aback in shock and awe.

Tang Sihai, who had cultivated many connections in Yanjing over the years, had an extraordinary insight into many things. He almost immediately figured out that this masked woman accompanying Ye Chen was none other than Madam Cui's daughter, Autumn Yee.

At this moment, Tang Sihai was overjoyed and exclaimed excitedly: "Young Master, Miss Cui, how did you two meet up?"

Autumn Yee giggled and said: "Tang Uncle, I've dressed myself up like this too. It's no use hiding it from you anyway."

Tang Sihai smiled and said, "Miss Cui's demeanor is extraordinary, and it's impossible to conceal it with just a mask."

He then hurriedly added, "Young Master, Miss Cui, we should step aside to discuss this privately. Please follow me to the rear garden!"

The rest of the text:

The Guangyuan Teahouse is divided into three areas: front courtyard, middle courtyard, and rear garden. All are typical ancient-style wooden buildings with a stage inside where people often perform acrobatics or sing Peking Opera.

Both the front courtyard and middle courtyard are open to the public, allowing members of the teahouse to consume tea and other beverages there. However, the rear garden is not open to the public; it's Tang Sihai's private domain with extremely high confidentiality.

Tang Sihai was very respectful and invited Ye Chen and Autumn Yee into his private reception room in the rear garden.

After they entered, Tang Sihai immediately had all the staff members cleared out, personally inviting Ye Chen and Autumn Yee to sit down on the sofa. He also used his precious tea set to brew a pot of tea for them. JrNovels.com
