Chapter 42 Plum Blossom Appreciation

After the winter solstice, it is truly winter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wangyun is located in the north, and the snow falls early. Under the snow, the plum blossoms also bloom in turn. The officials and the daughters of the wealthy businessmen were also idle, meeting to find something to do. So Baili Feng received an invitation to enjoy the plum.

In Kyoto, businessmen are usually not invited to banquets for officials' families, but in Wangyun Castle it is different.

Wangyun City was actually developed by the army. It was originally a remote and sparsely populated place. Later, with the stationing of troops stationed on the border, it gradually prospered. In the process of military development, there has always been a need for large quantities of materials. However, because of the remoteness of the area, there are often delays or deficiencies in arms exchanges. So to a certain extent, the supply of the army here is indispensable to the support of local merchants.

It is not that the army blindly presses businessmen to contribute. Because the merchants also knew that if they wanted to protect the safety of this side and protect their wealth and the lives of their families, they had to rely on strong military support to deter bandits and foreign armies at the border gates. Therefore, it is also mutually beneficial for both parties to finance the army. Therefore, businessmen also have a certain status in Wangyun.

The next post is Mrs. Taishou, and I invite you to enjoy the plum blossoms in Yuhua Garden three days later.

Lianxin glanced at the post and asked, "It's cold and freezing, why does Mrs. Taishou think of appreciating plums?" ”

"This lady is not a person who likes to be boisterous." Qiong Zhi stretched out his finger and nodded at the last line of the invitation: "It is written on it, you can bring the lady of the family with you." If my guess is correct, eighty percent is also a disguised look. ”

"How do you know? There is no unmarried lady in the Taishou family, and Mrs. Taishou started this in order to help people look at each other, so she is too idle. ”

Qiong Zhi smiled slightly: "If there is no Taishou family, it does not mean that Mrs. Taishou's maiden family does not have it." Half a month ago, her brother-in-law's family moved to Wangyun City. There are three unmarried girls in this family. Master, you say, I'm right? ”

Bai Li Feng nodded: "Not bad." Joan Zhi thought the same as I thought. ”

"Then this banquet is too boring." Lian Xin complained: "Yuhua Garden is just a big garden, and there is no serious shelter from the wind, what if you blow the wind for a long time and catch a cold?" ”

Bai Li Feng took a sip of tea unhurriedly: "What are you afraid of, Mrs. Taishou's post, I have to go anyway." People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. ”

"But how could Mrs. Taishou remember to give you a post? Is it for the young master? ”

"You're thinking bad. I guess I'm just a foil, but the main thing is to invite Liu Feifei. It's just that the lady in the city, and I am the only one who knows her better. If I don't go, won't she be embarrassed? Mrs. Taishou would not make such a general's wife unhappy. ”

In a few words, Baili Feng finalized the itinerary and replied, saying that he must be there. asked Qiong Zhi to make an appointment with Liu Feifei, so that day to go to the banquet together. After all, if you follow the general's wife, her treatment will inevitably be good. If you can make yourself happy, Baili Feng will never wronged herself in such a trivial matter.

In a blink of an eye, the appointed day had arrived, and Baili Feng walked with Liu Feifei all the way into Yuhua Garden.

Yuhua Garden is a famous garden in Wangyun, which is planted with all kinds of flowers, including many rare varieties, which are very rare. This garden was originally owned by a former emperor, but after the fall of the previous dynasty, this courtyard also changed hands. In order to maintain the cost of maintaining the flowers, the owner of the yard opened the yard to the outside world, and he could come here to enjoy the flowers with enough money. And today, since Mrs. Taishou is here for a banquet, she naturally has chartered the entire garden for a day, and no idle people are allowed to enter.

said that they came to enjoy the plum blossoms, so everyone naturally had to take a turn in this garden and look at the plum blossoms one by one. When I was tired of walking around the garden, I found a place to sit down and put on melons and fruit snacks, which was the main topic.

The elders first praised the plum blossoms for their good bloom, and then began to praise the girls who followed Mrs. Taishou for their good looks. Mrs. Taishou smiled and asked the girl next to her to greet her.

This girl is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Taishou's sister, Fang Jinye.

Fang Jin is sixteen years old, wearing a light pink dress with a large coat of the same color, which looks delicate and gentle, and has attracted a lot of praise. Even if Bai Li Feng didn't use the fire observation technique, he could guess how much he couldn't help it. But everyone knows it, and they don't say anything. But in all fairness, this Fang Jinye is indeed down-to-earth and generous, gentle and delicate, and it looks good, not like it came from a small place. And her appearance and gentle temperament are much weaker than the heroic girls in Wangyun, she is really delicate, which makes people feel pity.

After introducing Fang Jinye, Mrs. Taishou sent her to take the young ladies of other families to play elsewhere, so that they would not be confined in front of the elders and not feel comfortable.

Bai Li Feng looked coldly at Mrs. Taishou and her sister Yu Shi talking to Liu Feifei, and when she saw that Liu Feifei answered with ease, she was relieved. She could guess the purpose of the feast, and so could others. Thinking about it, Liu Feifei also knows that he can't be the master of Li Hua, so many things are just vague and don't fall into the slightest. So Bai Li Feng excused himself to be unwell, so he went to several people to confess his guilt and wanted to leave the table first. Liu Feifei and Mrs. Taishou were polite, but Mrs. Taishou's sister seemed to be prejudiced against Baili Feng's status as a businessman, and she didn't look down on her, and stared at her white hair fiercely. Bai Li Feng didn't like her staring at her hair, but he didn't want to worry about unrelated people, so he said goodbye and walked in the direction of leaving the garden.

Soon after she left, Liu Feifei couldn't stand this Yu family, so she wanted to divert the topic:

"Feng Niangzi is also a character in our Wangyun City. Although she is the same woman as us, she is the richest man in Wangyun, and she is busy with business on weekdays, so she has no leisure, and her body is a little weak, so she really can't stand the wind. ”

Yu Shi felt that he had another reason to look down on Baili Feng.

Mrs. Taishou said: "It's a pity that her family is thin and has no brothers and sisters to help her. She also has a nephew, who can help with some of it. ”

Originally, the Yu family didn't look down on Baili Feng, but when they heard that she was the richest man in Wangyun and had only one nephew, they were moved. Although she only has one concubine, Fang Jinye, she also has two concubines. If there is a nephew who is married to Baili Feng, won't the family property of Baili Mansion in the future be her family?

Yu Shi was still thinking about beautiful things, but Liu Feifei sensed her intentions, so he decided to let people give Baili Feng a wake-up call. She originally thought that Fang Jinye was a good one, but her mother was a little confused. It is estimated that her two concubines are no better, and they are not worthy of Baili Xu. She knew very well that Bai Li Feng was very precious to her nephew.
