In the Qingming Festival of the following year, the county lord of Meiyang, who was married to Qianxiang, that is, Jia Tanchun, the third girl of Jiafu, went home to save her relatives accompanied by her husband Prince Qianxiang, and everyone in Jiafu said that Tanchun was married as the daughter of the king of Nan'an, and His Royal Highness the prince of Qianxiang followed closely, I am afraid that there is no chance to take the three girls home to see.

Lin Daiyu repaired a letter and poured out her thoughts and melancholy to Qing'er.

But also, when the sisters were together, there were no less disputes and anger, and when they recalled it many years later, they were full of sister-like warm friendship.

Lin Daiyu finally said that the sisters in the garden hope to set up another club, presumably the "banana guest" is also very willing to participate, perhaps, she will be thick ink and heavy pen, relive the beautiful past of "Tong cut autumn breeze, drunk and lying banana guest".

Qing'er immediately replied to the pigeon letter, and Jinyao sent her a pair of carrier pigeons, which were specially responsible for flying to the Grand View Garden and Liujiatun line.

She gave Daiyu a move, the prince accompanied the princess to save the province, as the "mother" brother of Jinxiang and other princes, must be ordered to accompany, Jinxiang can be recognized by the emperor and canonized the king of Xiangjun, thanks to Jinyao's mediation, he owes Jinyao a big favor, let Jinyao repair a book, let Jia Baoyu go to discuss with Jinxiang, in the name of Jinxiang to invite Prince Qianxiang "Daguan Garden day trip", anyway, "Drunken Red Mansion" is now a famous entertainment place in the capital, where to entertain guests, it is also a logical thing.

In late April, the fleet of the Qianxiang Kingdom arrived in Jinling City, and the emperor held a banquet to entertain the prince, and the Ministry of Rites took out the itinerary of the prince's visit to the Celestial Empire to ask for the prince's opinion.

Prince Qianxiang glanced at it, and said to the princess: "Princess, tomorrow, let's go to the Grand View Garden for a day trip, you came to the Heavenly Empire during the trip, several times in the dream whispering, chanting what 'Tong cut the autumn breeze is cool, drunk and lying banana off the guest' and what 'the sun side red apricot leans on the cloud planting' and other verses, I know, you are missing your hometown and relatives at home." ”

The emperor's face sank when he heard this, when Tanchun replaced Princess Yunyang and his relatives, he was still the king of Beijing, he was a humble gentleman, and he wanted to advocate integrity, not to mention the fact that it was a matter of harmony involving the relationship between the two countries, so he did not agree with the behavior of Li Daitaozhuang, the king of Nan'an.

He even spoke out to dissuade him, but was ridiculed by King Nan'an: "Yunyang is not your flesh and blood, if you have no selfish intentions, you should persuade Jin Yao and Princess Dieyi to make peace, instead of talking about things in my house now!"

Now, Prince Akane said undiminished that he already knew that Tanchun was Miss Jiafu's business, so next, would he condemn the Celestial Empire for distrusting its vassals? Will he use this incident as an excuse to blackmail more benefits?

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, first of all, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to the Celestial Empire, for giving me such a beautiful, intelligent and virtuous girl as a princess. ”

This is a disgraceful event outside the Celestial Empire, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is already preparing to deal with the prince's "deep regret" rhetoric, but I didn't expect people to mention the dishonesty of the Celestial Empire, just to express their attitude towards this marriage, in the words, not only did they despise the princess's life experience, but also expressed appreciation for the "envoy" of Tanchun, and the most important thing is the prince's commitment, he is one of the important candidates for Prince Akane, this commitment is naturally to hope to get the support of the Celestial Empire, of course, this is also in line with the interests of the Celestial Empire.

Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Celestial Empire did not know that this was the clever plan of Princess Tanchun, she confessed her identity to the prince before she came to the Celestial Empire to save her relatives, and it was inferred from time that she was the daughter of the criminal ministers of the Celestial Empire at that time, and marrying her on her behalf was undoubtedly a humiliation to the Qianxiang Kingdom.

Tanchun said to the prince: " At that time, the strength of the king of Nan'an, although the king of Beijing had the intention to stop this matter, but to no avail, the concubine could have concealed the truth forever, but if the concubine was the daughter of the king of Nan'an, she would inevitably be alienated by the emperor today, because of the close relationship between His Royal Highness the prince and the king of Nan'an, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, and His Royal Highness the prince also knows that the key bargaining chip for the position of the crown prince is the support of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, so His Royal Highness the prince must publicly pick out this matter, and the concubine can borrow the old relationship between the second brother Jia Baoyu and the king of Beijing, that is, the emperor, to mediate and help the husband。 ”

At the state banquet, the most embarrassing was the Nan'an Wang and his wife, who stayed in the state guesthouse after arriving in the capital, and did not choose to go back to the Nan'an palace to live, they were faintly uneasy.

In order to show compensation to Jiafu, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to increase the budget and allocate 20,000 taels of silver to Jiafu, and Jia Baoyu was responsible for the reception of Prince Qianxiang and his wife.

The "Drunken Red Mansion" originally planned to be closed for three days to receive the princess's relatives, but Jia Tanchun insisted on personally experiencing the prosperous scene of the "Drunken Red Mansion", and specially asked the "Drunken Red Mansion" to open as usual, and spread the news that she would hold the Chrysanthemum Poetry Society in the "Autumn Shuangzhai", of course, she did not forget to instruct that the tickets should be increased tenfold than usual.

"If you want to give up the money, let them in, if you can't bear it, then don't come. "Thorn Rose is really good at decision-making, Shi Xiangyun thought at that time, if the third girl was still in Rongguo Mansion, she was afraid that the throne of the general manager would change hands.

Because it is the golden autumn season, the chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom, she reopened the chrysanthemum society, still with chrysanthemums as the theme, however, do not ask the sisters to give, but each of them to transcribe the poems they made that year on the rice paper, and then add ink chrysanthemums by the cherished spring, still use the alias of the year, let people use the first-class Lantian jade, and hurriedly carved the "Xiaoxiang Concubine", "Banana Guest", "Pillow Xia Old Friend", "Yihong Gongzi", "Daoxiang Old Farmer", "Lingzhou", "Lotus Pavilion" and other people's seal carving seals for backup.

Shi Xiangyun pondered, although there is a theme of "Chrysanthemum Poetry Society" to attract customers, but "Thorn Rose" asked to increase the ticket tenfold, which clearly means that she does not want to be too crowded at that time, after all, expensive tickets are not affordable for ordinary people, so she expects that the number of customers will not exceed fifty percent on weekdays, so she will prepare refreshments according to the usual sixty percent of the passenger flow.

Unexpectedly, I don't know where the gossip came out, saying that the "Chrysanthemum Poetry Society" would also exhibit Xue Guifei's poems and ink treasures, and even the alias of the concubine in the boudoir was also inquired clearly, saying that she really had the demeanor of a mother in the world, and she was named "Lu Wujun" when she was young.

As a result, even those officials who pretend to be high and do not want to set foot in entertainment venues on weekdays have also moved their hearts to flatter, and let the house slaves line up outside the gate of Daguanyuan before dawn, lest they have no opportunity to look at the ink of the concubine, and when they talk about the concubine's articles in the officialdom in the future and exchange their feelings on the day, they don't know how to deal with it.

Early that morning, Shi Xiangyun received a notice from the person in charge of selling tickets, saying that outside the window of the ticket room, the minions of various families lined up in a long line, but I was afraid that today's passenger flow would hit a record high.

Shi Xiangyun immediately came to the spirit, first asked Cui Wei to inform the kitchen manager, doubled the preparation of refreshments, and personally went to discuss with Lin Daiyu that he wanted to borrow the minions of Jiafu to go to the "Drunken Red Mansion" to help socialize.

On the same day, the passenger flow of "Drunken Red Mansion" really hit a record high, although those officials did not see the ink of the concubine, but it was an eye-opener, it turned out that "Drunken Red Mansion" is not comparable to those Qinlou Chu Pavilion, in addition to Yihong Courtyard, there are many elegant places to go, Lotus Lotus Pavilion listens to music across the lotus pond, it is also very different from other places, sitting in the Jinlou and eating delicious food that can not be tasted in other restaurants, enjoying the luxurious but not vulgar Jiafu trial service, that is the real experience of princes and nobles.

The ladies of Jiafu naturally won't show their heads, but the looming figure behind Qianyunsha is like watching flowers in the fog, and the faint fragrance of ink makes people think more and more.

The first thing that came out of it was Yihong Gongzi's "Planting Chrysanthemums", Jia Qiang was entertaining outside, and personally began to sing: "Bring the hoe to the autumn garden, and plant it in front of the fence." Last night I didn't expect to live through the rain, and today I still like to bring frost. Coldly chant a thousand autumn poems, and drink a glass of cold wine. The spring irrigation mud seal is diligent and cherished, and it is good to know that the well path is free of dust. ”

This is Jia Baoyu's poem when he was young, this time it was used to attract jade, and the artistic conception is average, but everyone knows that Master Jia's calligraphy is first-class, and he is His Majesty's confidant, which naturally attracted a burst of applause.

Before the second calligraphy and painting was presented, I heard a holy decree from the palace, saying that all the calligraphy and paintings of the "Drunken Red Mansion" today will be auctioned on the spot, and the proceeds will be used to enrich the Mobei Tuntian Fund.

This is also Jia Tanchun's idea, since she heard about Qing'er's series of plans, she was lame, wanting to compete with the little girl, she persuaded everyone, saying that it was in the name of the emperor to collect money, even if half of it was donated, the income was naturally expensive, not to mention, this is a triple win, Jiafu got benefits, but also fell into a good reputation, the emperor solved the lack of funds in Tuntian, naturally will remember that Jiafu is good, and all officials also have to weigh the weight of Rongguofu in the emperor's heart, Qing'er girl naturally will not object, but secretly admire the three girls of Jiafu are really skilled。

The key is that Xue Baochai's Mobao also has the opportunity to be made public.

Chrysanthemum Poetry Society, recording their sisters' best girlhood, Tanchun hopes that everyone's poems can be passed on to the world, even if she never has the opportunity to return to Jinling in the future, the government and the opposition will also remember, the princess of Qianxiang, or, in the near future, it will be said that the princess of Qianxiang is the third girl of Jiafu in Jinling City, the famous poetry and calligraphy.

Tanchun knows in her heart that if she only talks about her attainments in poetry, she is naturally inferior to Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun, and she is slightly deficient in Sister Zhibao, but her calligraphy is called everyone, but it is not known to the world.

Baoyu's "Planting Chrysanthemums" was auctioned by a boy wearing a mask, the buyer did not leave a name, and a certain prince in the seat said, listening to the voice and body shape, the person seemed to be a bit like a play raised by the prince of Zhongshun, oh, by the way, his name is Qi Guan'er.

The reserve price of this calligraphy and painting was only ten taels of silver, and the price of a horse was raised to two hundred taels of silver by an official who patted the horse, and another official did not hesitate to raise it to three hundred. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over in surprise, only to see that the man was wearing a gorgeous white brocade robe, with a long body, but unfortunately, he had a Peking Opera mask on his face.

Naturally, no one competed with this price anymore, and then another "Visiting Chrysanthemum" by Baoyu came out.

"Take advantage of the frost to try it, and don't drown the wine glass and medicine cup. Who planted it under the moon before the frost, and where is the autumn ...... on the edge of the fence outside the threshold"

Before Jia Qiang finished singing, someone asked for a price, and it was bound to win, and the opening was a thousand taels of silver.

"Ten thousand taels!" the masked man quoted again.

Jia Qiang also saw that it was boring, and said with a smile: "This adult, can you leave your name, you are so fond of your uncle's scene, and when Uncle Jia asks, I have to tell Uncle Jia where to go to thank you, right?"

The masked man stopped talking, and stood there as if no one was around, and when the ink was completely dry, Jia Qiang personally rolled up his hands and presented them to him.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, Jia Qiang muttered to herself, he had just let people into the house to report to the second uncle, why was he so calm, and he didn't come out to take a look, could it be that he had already guessed who the person was?

Before everyone recovered from their surprise, they saw a banner coming out of it, with eight big characters on it: "Tong cut the autumn breeze is cool, drunk and lying bananas."

Jia Qiang specially introduced that this is the handwriting of the third aunt and grandmother of Jiafu, the princess of King Qianxiang, and the reserve price is also ten taels of silver.

Naturally, there are people who know calligraphy, so I can't help asking: "Is this really from a woman's hand?"

"Nonsense, my third aunt and grandmother, the princess of King Qianxiang, can she still be a man? I won't tell you, this Qiu Shuangzhai was her study back then, and that super huge bookcase was where she practiced calligraphy back then. ”

"The pen is vigorous, the style is free and easy, and the women don't let the eyebrows go! I will give a hundred taels of silver!"

"One hundred and fifty taels!"

"Two hundred taels!"

Jia Qiang waited for a while and saw that no one made any more offers, so she asked, "Someone paid two hundred taels for this banner, and someone else offered a higher price?"

I didn't hear the sound in the middle of the ring, and in the inner room, everyone felt embarrassed, and Li Kun whispered to Su Yun: "The words of the second master of Gangbao bought 20,000 taels of silver, this contrast is too big, right? ”

Prince Qianxiang was watching Tanchun write the poem "Hairpin Chrysanthemum", and when he heard the discussion, he quietly slipped out and said to Jia Qiang: "I will give 10,000 taels of silver!"

Those sons and brothers and officials were stunned, who is this beautiful man? It seems that he is a prince and grandson nobleman, but Jinling City has never seen this person?

It happened that a Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites was present, and he hurriedly got up and bowed his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the prince also came to cheer for the princess? This banner is the best calligraphy work I have seen in the next few years, I really didn't expect that the princess is still a strange woman with both talents and appearances, and she said that she would buy this calligraphy treasure in Xiagang, since His Royal Highness the prince wants to stay, I will not fight with you in the next year."
