Chapter Seventy-Eight: Inscription

Since there is no pomp and circumstance, and there is no excitement in front of the dragon and lion dance, there are not many people who know about the opening of this small Qianyunxuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Fortunately, there are a lot of tourists in Guanqian Street, and there are always some ladies and ladies in horse-drawn carriages who look outside with the curtains, and their eyes suddenly fall on the emerald green of this curtain.

The soft smoke is very soft, this curtain is as elegant as mist, as expensive as real gold, and it is a good thing that is rare in ordinary silk shops, and it suddenly appears on this street, which is very shocking.

Qingwen, Qiuwen and the snow geese who came back from visiting relatives are also guarding in the shop.

When she's not busy, Qingwen goes to the workshop for guidance, and the main business in the store is handed over to Autumn Pattern and Snow Goose.

In her words: "Baoyu's heart is all on this, and when I go to the shop, I can be regarded as worthy of the old lady and his wife's orders." ”

I have to say that the warm-tempered autumn pattern is indeed suitable for doing some work to receive distinguished guests. Snow Goose, who has a more lively personality, is a native of Suzhou, and it is easy to get close to these noble ladies and ladies.

Due to his lack of fame, he did not earn much in the first month, only enough to pay for some raw materials and the monthly salary of the workers. In the second month, it was slowly on the right track.

It turned out that a certain official wife who was passing by Suzhou Mansion happened to come to Qianyunxuan, bought fragrant powder rouge, and was praised a few words at the banquet between the official wives, and brought out the three words "Qianyunxuan":

"You don't know? This rouge was bought in your Suzhou Mansion, the one on Guanqian Street, what is it called 'Qianyunxuan'? ”

"Qianyunxuan" No one had heard of it, and the officials and wives present shook their heads in unison. However, it did not prevent them from leaving the banquet to inquire.

came and went, and the name of Qianyunxuan also started in the wealthy circle of Suzhou.

A small box of rouge is more expensive than gold, and the incense powder is also average, but it makes people tend to it.

Several people behind the scenes of Qianyunxuan watched the shop become more and more profitable, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter.

Jia Zheng's academy project is also progressing very smoothly, although some people are staring at his mistakes and thinking of ways to embarrass him from time to time, there are also many people who help him.

Then there are those squires and nobles in Suzhou, who all support this beautiful thing for the benefit of the local area, not only gathered to present the people to Beijing to praise the emperor, but also took the initiative to pay for food to reward the workers who participated in the construction of the academy.

In the blink of an eye, June passed, and the project was basically completed.

The person sent by the palace to accept the acceptance went around the academy, and was praised by the famous figure in Suzhou, and this person praised the emperor when he went back:

"Your Majesty, you haven't seen it, the academy is elegant and quiet, facing the lake in the east and the distant mountains in the west, which is wide and solemn. The Great Library Hall is especially well repaired, and I heard that it also uses special materials to avoid fire, and even the ministers want to calm down and study in this Suzhou Academy for a few years. ”

The emperor was very pleased, and asked the courtier to go to the harem to tell the queen mother about the academy.

The courtier took the order, and the emperor summoned two important ministers to come over to share his joy, and finally with a stroke of the pen, the eunuch was ordered to grind the ink and lay the paper, and with a stroke of the pen, he wrote the four hearty characters of "Suzhou Academy", which made people send it over quickly.

Jia Zheng, who was far away in Suzhou, was really overjoyed, and all the officials in Suzhou were honored, and even the wealthy businessmen who participated in the construction felt extremely honored.

These four characters were engraved into a plaque and hung on the door of Suzhou Academy on the day of its official completion, and as for the authentic works, they were collected in the hall of the academy and offered together with the portraits of Confucius and Mencius.

The academy also invited a well-respected scholar to serve as the dean, and several old men from Hanlin also came to sit down.

As soon as the news came out, those talented and qualified people recommended themselves one after another, and many students came to prepare to enter the academy in the starry night. Many daughters of wealthy families and official families are also eager to come to Nanyuan, intending to enter the hospital to study.

Soon I heard that the palace sent a female official who had served in the Qianqing Palace, and invited a female gentleman who was famous all over the world to teach the four books, etiquette, piano, tea, calligraphy, painting, chess and other skills. Those who have daughters and connections and financial resources no longer hesitate to send them to study.

The affairs of the academy were finally completed, and some people in Suzhou Prefecture organized people to praise Jia Zhengshang.

Jia Zheng had previously devoted himself to the construction of the academy, half out of responsibility and half out of interest, but now that he had done his errand and received praise from all the people, how could he be unhappy?

It's time to leave for Kyoto.

Jia Zheng was full of joy, and his heart was like an arrow, urging people to pack their luggage one after another, eager to go back immediately to feel the glory of being touted by his colleagues and praised by everyone; Jia Baoyu was a little abrasive and very reluctant.

It is rare for him to have this opportunity to do something he likes in Suzhou, except for his beloved Lin Daiyu, who is an empathetic girl, no one is always restraining him, holding him, how can Jia Baoyu be willing to leave Suzhou and go back!

Even if he was reluctant, he could only follow Jia Zheng depressedly. Fortunately, Daiyu didn't stay and went back with him and Jia Zheng, which eased his resistance.

Leaving is about to leave, everyone feels a little pity, Jiang Yunxuan, who has worked hard for several months, and the girls who have just been trained to make rouge and incense powder, just give up?

While she was hesitating, Xue Yan insisted on proposing to Daiyu that she wanted to stay in Suzhou to help guard the shop.

Moreover, Mama Wang likes Snow Goose very much, and Wang Shun also likes her very much, with the meaning of Snow Goose's family, she also hopes that Snow Goose can stay and marry in Suzhou.

Daiyu was a little reluctant, after all, this was the girl left to her by Jia Minlin Ruhai, who grew up with her since she was a child, and her feelings were very strong.

But thinking of the mess in Kyoto, Daiyu thought about it seriously, and decided to follow the wishes of Xue Yan and her family, handed over the management of Qianyun Xuan to Xue Yan and Wang Shun, and held an engagement banquet for them, and gave her a valuable hairpin to add makeup.

Xue Yan was very happy, and when she saw that Daiyu was leaving, she was reluctant to tear up, and from time to time she helped this gang in the inner courtyard, and told Zijuan and Qingwen to take good care of the girl.

Zijuan's eyes were sour, and Daiyu hurriedly comforted her: "In the future, you can ask Wang Shun to take you to Kyoto to see me, and help me bring some things from my hometown by the way, doesn't it mean that I have another relative?" ”

The snow goose choked up, lay down and kowtowed to Daiyu twice.

Mama Wang also stayed.

Daiyu brought four people with her when she came to Suzhou, and when she went back, there were only two left, which was also a little sentimental.

She picked two girls with calm personalities who were willing to go to Kyoto with her from among the sons of the family in Suzhou, and asked Zijuan and Qingwen to take them and teach them the rules.

When they parted and boarded the boat, everyone was a little reluctant. Jia Zheng was sent to the dock by the officials of Suzhou City, and Wang Mama and Wang Shun, the snow goose, were also mixed in the crowd to watch their boat leave.

Daiyu wore a hat and watched their figures get farther and farther away, and couldn't stop crying. Qingwen leaned against the cabin door alone, her face dark, looking very lost.

In the rouge shop, she is the female shopkeeper, and in the workshop, she is the admired incense powder and rouge master; These wonderful, splendid, simple and pure lives are much better than being a girl who bends over and bends her knees and can never lift her head in a deep mansion like a pool of stagnant water.

Now, she is about to be beaten back to her original form again, and she will go to the Grand View Garden of Jiafu to be a girl who is no different from others, arguing over some fame, fortune and status.
