The auction had to be delayed, and the officials and merchants who did not get the calligraphy and painting of the Chrysanthemum Poetry Society were not photographed, so that the poems and paintings sold by Qiushuang Zhai were mostly poor and talented, although there were many high-quality works, but the quotations were very low, most of them were in five to ten taels of silver, and the highest price was only fifty taels of silver, at this time, it was sold at a price of not less than one thousand taels of silver, nearly 100 pieces of calligraphy and painting works, and soon sold out。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two adults brought a seal, on which is "Tuntian Anjiang, merit in the thousand autumns" eight ancient seal characters, it is said that the emperor himself wrote the template carving, this day every calligraphy and painting is stamped with a seal.

Everyone here knows in their hearts that this is the receipt of the fundraiser and the praise of the person who raised the donation, although the value of calligraphy and painting is limited, but with the emperor's seal, there is room for appreciation, the key is that even if these calligraphy and painting are not very useful, it is absolutely impossible without it.

On the same day, excluding the 10,000 taels of silver that the overlord knocked and blackmailed Jiang someone, the auction of poems and paintings raised a total of more than 700,000 taels of silver, and the calligraphy and paintings of the concubine Niangniang and Jia Baoyu raised a total of 175,000 taels of silver, they naturally donated all of them, and the rest donated half of them, and then removed the moisturizer that should be paid to the author, the profit was still very considerable, and there were more than 200,000 taels.

Originally, I wanted to make one or two hundred thousand silver, but now I have earned too much, but I feel that the silver is hot, how dare I fill my own pockets, Li Kun immediately discussed with Jia Baoyu, and in the name of Rongguofu and Wang Qing'er, donate another 100,000 taels of silver.

Immediately, the drunken red mansion was the host, and all the officials and famous merchants and gentry were invited to the banquet, because there were too many guests, they had to set up the banquet separately, and the officials were arranged in the brocade building, where they could enjoy the drama while drinking. The literati and guests were invited to the Tubi Villa, and they happened to taste the cinnamon incense in front of the moon. Feng Ziying and Xue Pan and their group simply came to Yihong Courtyard, because when it came to the man wearing the mask, everyone guessed that it was Jiang Yuhan, which led to the flower attack, and the words were naturally unbearable, fortunately Jia Baoyu was entertaining in the Jinlou, and never heard their gossip, but they listened to the musk moon and autumn pattern of Yihong Courtyard, and secretly rejoiced, although they were assigned to the servants of Jiafu, they were husband and wife, not like Hua Raider who was widowed in the name of his wife.

Now, Qiu Wen and Musk Yue have been promoted to be the chief and deputy stewards of Yihong Courtyard, one of them is married to Sweeping Hong, the other is married to Banhe, and the two and Ming Yan'er and the other four are Jia Baoyu's personal servants, they have all been picked to follow Baoyu since childhood, not to mention smart and clever, and their appearance is naturally excellent, and now, they are also the stewards of Jiafu.

Besides, Wei Ruolan also followed Xue Pan and them, Feng Ziying reminded him several times that he should go to the Jinlou to accompany those officials to drink, and it was best to contact Taibao and Taifu to get in touch with him, since he was in the official career, he had to find a way out for himself no matter what.

Wei Ruolan smiled and said: "Shicai, Neizi gave me a calligraphy, but it is Wang Changling's "Resentment", I think you have all heard of the seven uniques, the young woman in the boudoir does not know the sorrow, and the spring condenses on the green building. Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the Muslim husband was looking for a marquis. In the next finally lived up to the mission, quelled the bandits under the rule, this time back to Beijing to restore his life, just to go to the official position, in the future, just to be able to stay with the inner son, but there is no need to look up to people's nose, look at people's eyes and hearts. ”

got up and poured two glasses of wine, and said to Xue Pan quite sincerely: "Brother Xue, we are all people who escaped death, even if we are reincarnated, it is also a fortunate thing to be able to drink together today, this first cup, brother wishes the eldest brother peace and happiness from now on, the family is happy, this second cup of wine, is the brother thanks to the eldest brother for teaching me a lesson, and the brother drinks first as respect." ”

Immediately drank two cups in a row, Xue Pan stood up and said to Wei Ruolan: "They are all their own brothers, what do you say thank you, since my brother does not want to be an official in the imperial court, how about following my brother and me to do business?

Feng Ziying heard that he had been in prison for a few years, and he was still so generous and cheerful, so he also got up and toasted: "I was thinking about how to help Brother Wei just now, Uncle Xue is Sai Meng, this glass of wine is for you, and I will drink it first!"

Jia Lian took the wine jug from the girl's hand, laughed with her, personally took the cup, toasted the wine one by one, and praised Xue Pan according to Feng Ziying's words, and then said to Wei Ruolan: "Brother Xue is righteous and squanders money, who doesn't know Jinling City?" It was also very good for the Ruolan brothers to follow him, but now Miss Wang went to Mobei and handed over the Drunken Red Mansion to Mrs. Wei to take care of, although, all the clan disciples who were idle at home in Jiafu, as well as the minions in the family, were placed in the Drunken Red Mansion to do things, after all, there were few who could pick up the beams, she was a woman to take care of such a big scene, it was very hard, Miss Wang transferred 10% of her shares to Mrs. Wei, speaking of which, you and your wife are the third big proprietors of the Drunken Red Mansion, and Lord Wei might as well come to Daguan Garden to help Mrs. Wei take care of the Drunken Red Mansion is serious。 ”

Wei Ruolan put down her glass and said: "It's not a secret, I listened to Mrs. Wang's persuasion, understood Neizi's painstaking desire to get together between husband and wife, and came back to help Neizi take care of the drunken red mansion. ”

"You just said madam, whose lady is it?" Feng Ziying was a little puzzled, and immediately asked.

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother Ziying has just returned to Beijing from his post, no wonder I don't know, the legend is that Prince Heng married his wife privately, and that Mrs. Ru is Wang Qing'er." ”

"Speaking of which, this time I was able to come back alive in Xia, thanks to Miss Wang's Tuntian Anjiang strategy, that day, when I was inspecting the drought situation in the countryside, I was ambushed by bandits, and when I was desperately fleeing for my life, I met the team sent by the general of Zhenbei to Yunxiang to purchase farm tools and seeds, fortunately they came to the rescue, and Fang picked up a life. ”

I touched the knife marks on my forehead with palpitations, thinking that Shi Xiangyun had repeatedly repaired books to him, hoping that he could give up politics and engage in business, but he was rejected again and again.

Qing'er personally led the team to buy farm tools and seeds, in order to inspect the agricultural development of the surrounding states and counties, and choose the plants to be planted at the most time, but unexpectedly, Wei Ruolan was unexpectedly saved.

After escaping death, Wei Ruolan's heart was full of nostalgia for his wife, so after some persuasion by Qing'er, he made up his mind, since the family does not need his money to make a living now, and the court treats him as an alien and does not reuse, rather than fending for himself in such a wild place, it is better to go back to the capital to be a flat-headed common man more at ease.

Unconsciously, everyone drank high, Xue Pan said with a big tongue: "My second master also wanted to test his fame, but he was persuaded by Xiuyan girl, saying that it was not a big deal for the uncle to be an official, and he did it in the nine provinces, and in the end it was not the end of the family, of course, he was too much, and he would kill himself if he did a lot of injustice, that day, I saw Wang Ren on the street, Wang Ren didn't know where to eat the overlord meal, drank more cat urine, drunk, and was surrounded by a large group of people. Schadenfreude, I don't know why, looking at his bad look, but it's not a taste in my heart......"

Jia Yun suddenly laughed, and said to everyone mysteriously: "I also saw him once, Wang Ren was forcibly dragged by the minions of Boss Suo's family, and the people on the side followed suit, saying that although Wang Ren lost all his belongings, he did not lose his beauty, and his thin skin and tender flesh were quite Longyang's posture, so it was better to obey Boss Suo, and said that Jinling City knew that Boss Suo was very pitiful and cherished jade, and he was comfortable to serve, so he would be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and perhaps, he would have no worries about food and clothing in the future." ”

"Huh, is there such a thing?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh.

"Later, did Wang Ren actually rely on it?" As soon as Xue Pan heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

Jia Yun cleared her throat and smiled: "Later, I still couldn't see it anymore, so I went over to threaten them, saying that this Wang Ren is also a relative of Rongguofu, although because he is not angry, our wife wants to let him suffer some hardships, so that he can have a long experience, if he really dares to force him to do that kind of thing, I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around in the future." I went out on errands that day, and I took a few guys with me, which scared those people away. Who knows, Wang Ren's house blames me for a lot of things, if it weren't for Lian Er/Grandma's benefits to me back then, I would have been so full that I would have to worry about his affairs. ”

As she was talking, the little girl brought a snack, and Xue Pan saw that there was a plate of goose fat rolls and a plate of Poria glutinous rice cakes, all of which Xiangling liked to eat, so he ordered Jean to divide half of the dim sum sent and take it back to his wife to eat.

When everyone present saw him like this, they all laughed, and they all said that this was not like Uncle Xue before.

Laughing again, Shi Xiangyun was afraid that Wei Ruolan would get drunk, so he asked Cui Wei to pick it up, they had already gone home, cleaned up the house, boiled hot water on the stove, and specially asked the nurse to make some lotus seed soup, waiting for Wei Ruolan to go home.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Wei Ruolan was sent back by Jia Lian in a carriage.

Standing outside the gate of the Wei family's old house, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter in my heart, thinking that I would be gone for three years, except for this old house, all the things that could be sold at home were sold, and it was really difficult for Shi Xiangyun and Cui Wei.

With a lantern in front of her, she entered the street gate and told the keeper to close the door.

"Master, young grandma is reading in Pillow Xia Pavilion, I'll report it. ”

"No, I'll go by myself. ”

Wei Ruolan went straight to the Pillow Xia Pavilion, Shi Xiangyun has been tired since last night, and there was no time to rest for a whole day, and after waiting for a long time, she couldn't help but fall asleep on the bookcase, when Wei Ruolan went to look at it, she found that the book "Li Yi'an's Poetry Collection" on her face was given to her back then, and she quietly picked it up, and saw that she was reading the "Dream Order", she couldn't help leaning down, biting her ear and whispering: "Chang Yixi Pavilion is at dusk, drunk and doesn't know the way back." Returning to the boat at night, he strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers, fought for the crossing, fought for the crossing, and startled a shoal of gulls and herons. ”

Shi Xiangyun slept very lightly, and when he heard the footsteps, he knew that he was back, and he refused to raise his head in a daze, thinking about how he would wake him up, or would he carry her back to the bedroom?

Just like back then, they were boating on the shore of Qingyun Lake, and they were just about to go home at dusk, the reeds by the lake were half a person deep, Wei Ruolan was afraid that she would get wet with her embroidered shoes, so she hugged her and walked out of the wetland by the lake.

"Xiangyun, I'm back, we'll go to the dormitory, right?"

"Hmm. When he opened his eyes lazily and saw the bandage on his chest, he remembered that the injury on Wei Ruolan's hand was not healed.

"Are you tired? Why don't you go to bed and take a nap first, it's all my fault, so you have to wait for a long time. ”

"It's no wonder you, Master Feng and Brother Xue are here, how can you go home by yourself?" Shi Xiangyun finally came to his senses, and said with a rather free smile: "I first slept for a while, because I always thought about you, and when I woke up, I turned a few pages of the book. By the way, do you still remember Qingyun Lake? The sunset is projected on the surface of the lake, and the lotus flowers are fragrant for ten miles. ”

"Why don't you remember? You also said that the girls in their Jiafu drew lots to occupy the name of the flower, and Miss Xue drew peonies, sure enough, now she is a lady, and she can be regarded as the leader in the country of fragrance, Miss Lin is a hibiscus, and the three girls of Jiafu smoke apricot blossoms, so you ask me, if you are compared to a flower, what kind of flower do I want you to be?"

"Well, I forgot how you replied. Shi Xiangyun smiled deliberately.

"I said, you are Xie Yuhua, you are always so understanding, there is no hypocrisy of Miss Qianjin, you are my favorite in my heart!"

These words have always been hidden in Shi Xiangyun's heart, and he has never forgotten them, and when he heard it at this time, the tenderness was still flooding like a tide.

Involuntarily grabbed Wei Ruolan's uninjured hand, the couple held hands, whispered love words, and snuggled up to each other and returned to the bedroom.

Cui Wei had already carried the bath bucket in front of the bed with the nurse, which was filled with hot water, and there was a layer of pink begonia petals floating on the water.

"I was in a hurry all the way, and when I first got home, I was thinking that Xiangyun must have prepared hot water for bathing. Wei Ruolan smiled softly, and was about to take off her clothes and take a bath, but Xiangyun held his hand.

"Ruolan, since we separated, Xiangyun has been dreaming the same dream every night, just like now, the fragrant mist is curling in the bathtub in front of the bed, and I am undressing for you......"

With her other hand, she slowly unbuttoned his shirt and sweat towel for him, and then took off his clothes one by one...... (To be continued.) )
