The spring wedding is in October, ten miles of red makeup from the palace to marry, the queen mother, the queen, Wu Guifei, Qi Shufei, Rong Concubine and others have added makeup, and the princes and princes of the county also reduced the courtesy.

Xichun is the Jia family, grew up in Rongguo Mansion since childhood, and now Jia pardon Jia Zheng's second room is also Xichun's closest relative, and the two rooms are guarding filial piety and can't attend such a happy day, but in the end, it was Jia Lian and his wife who went to Xiangyun. Although the Shi family was defeated, the two marquis were sentenced to exile, and their lives were difficult, but their lives were still there. Jia Lian's husband and wife keep the filial piety of Jia's mother, as a bearing grandson only for one year, and has been filial piety in August. Jia Lian has already made a break to the officials, if others want to wait for Ding Wei to end and reassign officials, I am afraid that they will wait for a few years, but Tu Yan feels that Jia Lian is available, and after the defeat of the Jia family, he will be more cautious as an official, and Jia Lian's current benefits are even stronger than those born in a poor family. Tu Yan asked Jia Lian to wait quietly for news, it is the end of the year, and the annual performance evaluation and official debriefing and transfer are a good time for vacancies.

When the three dynasties returned to the door, the palace considered that the Jia family was in filial piety, so they did grace to the end, and Xu Xichun returned to the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace. Married in the palace and returned to the palace, this honor will overwhelm all the serious county lords, even the princesses in the palace may not have this grace.

Xichun knew in her heart that although she was meritorious to the court because of her affinity, if it weren't for the queen's eyes on Lin Qingyun's face, no matter how meritorious she was, she would not have been able to get such grace.

On the day of returning, Lin Qingyun took Daiyu to the palace, and joked when she saw Xichun in Ci'an Palace. Xichun was still calm at first, but then he couldn't help it and blushed with shame.

Xichun wrote letters with Fan You after the family affair was settled, and they collaborated on paintings, but they never saw each other, and it was not until the wedding night that the two saw each other's faces for the first time. Others may be surprised that when they met, they discussed the paintings not long ago, and then talked about which place to go first after leaving the capital, until the maids outside felt that something was wrong and secretly urged, and the two went to bed peacefully. At first, Fan You just saw that Xichun was nervous, and deliberately said some familiar topics to ease the atmosphere, but who knew that he would deviate from what he said.

Lin Qingyun and Daiyu glanced at each other, knowing that Xichun and his wife were good, so they had nothing to worry about.

It's the new year in the blink of an eye.

Spring flowers bloom, just suitable for stepping on the spring to enjoy the flowers, today Daiyu set up a banquet, tomorrow Qingyun please enjoy the flowers, and then there is Zhuang Shiyu to do the east, the sisters take turns to cherish the spring gathering, because at the end of March, the spring will be with Fan You out of Beijing, the next time I come back I don't know when. Although Xichun is reluctant to sisters, she yearns to go outside for a walk, so she has been packing up since the beginning of spring, and she is very excited every time she talks about it.

Daiyu was envious, and Lin Qingyun complained in private: "You can all go out one by one, and I don't know when I will get the opportunity." ”

Lin Qingyun was not very interested, but it was another thing: "I forgot to tell you that the prince just got the news, and the emperor intends to transfer your uncle out." Although it has not yet been confirmed, but the □□ will not leave, now that the spring is gone, as soon as you leave, I will have no one to speak. ”

"My sister has two brothers, isn't it lively?" Daiyu thought that the two little devils in the family had a headache and laughed, and in the end she was more worried about Zhuang Li's affairs, Daiyu asked: "Sister, do you know where our uncle will be transferred?" ”

Lin Qingyun shook her head.

Tu Yan just said in passing, the court order has not come down yet, it is just the emperor's intention, so I don't know more details. Zhuang Li is indeed talented, but "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the blade of the sword comes from the sharpening", without much experience, Zhuang Li will not be able to tap no matter how great his potential is.

Daiyu said: "I guess he will leave Beijing in the next two years, he told me, it is not interesting to stay in Beijing, but it is good to do some practical things in office." My father always told me that Mingjing has great ambitions and talents, so don't hold him back. Why should I detain him, he is for the benefit of the officials, for the people, for the protection of the family, for our mother and son, I am very happy that his ambition can be displayed. Daddy also said that the official position of the eldest lord is only afraid that it will stop at the third grade, although he has achieved it from the first grade, but he is old and lacks energy, and Mingjing is the son-in-law of the Lin family, if the emperor wants to reuse Mingjing, he will not be able to occupy an important position again. I wanted my father to resign for a few years and take good care of it, in the past, he always used words to prevaricate, but now when it comes to Mingjing, he says that he will resign in five years at most. This is not for the sake of Mingjing, but it makes me feel guilty, my father has too much heart for me in this life, and I can't always be filial in front of me. ”

"Sister, why do you think so much, doesn't your brother Lin often accompany his father-in-law? The last time I went back, my father-in-law praised Brother Lin for being smart and precocious, saying that Brother Lin could read poetry before he was two years old. ”

Daiyu laughed when she heard it: "Where is it so smart, I can't spit out many words, but I have a good memory, I can remember things once or twice, and he can't call out many things, but he can point out." He and Brother Qi often talk to me, and we adults can't understand what they're saying. ”

"Chu Yang and Brother Rui are the same, how old is Brother Rui, but Chu Yang often talks about his younger brother, comparing and drawing, every day when you get up early, you must go to see Brother Rui first, and you have to look at it again before going to bed, otherwise you won't sleep."

Daiyu said again: "The fourth sister has set off on the eighteenth day, and I don't know when I will come back." ”

"I'm about to talk to my sister about this, I'll do the feast, I have a good place."

"Where?"

"If I don't tell you now, I have to keep a surprise." Lin Qingyun originally planned to open the club in the spring of this year, but when she thought about the name of the club, she always felt that it was not good, and in the end she chose one in vain. Now that I want to leave Beijing in the spring, half a feast there can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Lin Qingyun took over the matter and immediately ordered someone to go to the club to prepare for the opening. I personally wrote a post, inviting several princesses, princesses, princesses, and ladies who were good friends, etc., but Jiafu only gave Shi Xiangyun a post, and Tanchun was still guarding filial piety. In addition, she specially invited Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng took the letter and came to Changtai Street as promised.

This street is very spacious, and the entire surface is paved with bluestone slabs, which is about the same length as Ningrong Street at the beginning. On the left side of the street is a one-man tall wall of blue bricks, with a half-foot-deep groove made of green bricks, and the soil inside is planted with cacti, which can be used as a defense when it blooms. Wang Xifeng noticed that there were many street shops on the right, and many famous big merchants had set up branches here, and there were quite a few shops she frequented, but she didn't know that there were also their stores here. The left side is relatively "clean", with only one courtyard gate, and there are corner gates on the left and right, and the carriage stops in front of the main gate.

At this time, four strong servants came out of the door, cleaned up cleanly, took the car and pulled directly into the gate. Wang Xifeng noticed that there was no threshold at this gate, and as soon as the gate was opened, the car went in directly, but the coachman she brought and the Wang'er who accompanied the car were invited to the corner gate, and only the girl and the woman followed.

Facing the gate is a large wall of hollow carved shadows, and all you can see through the hollow bricks and stones is green. The carriage entered the gate and turned left, stopped, and the servant woman asked outside: "Wang Yiren, please get off." ”

Now Jia Lian has recovered and has been transferred to the Ministry of Industry Renzheng Wupinlang.

As soon as outsiders saw that the Jia family had been defeated, Jia Lian was able to find a position immediately after his filial piety, and he knew that there were people in the court. Many people speculated that Lin Ruhai was secretly helping, in the end, the Jia family was the in-law of the Lin family, and the Lin family had no children, in addition to helping the son-in-law, it was inevitable to help the nephews of the Yue family. Lin Ruhai thought that it was really Jia Lian's contribution when he was transferred back to Beijing, but now he saw that Jia Lian had voted for someone else. Lin Ruhai has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and after carefully analyzing Jia Lian's behavior, he guessed Tu Yan.

Wang Xifeng was confused at this moment.

When I got out of the car, I saw that this place was not far from the gate, but the place was spacious, enough for two carriages to be parked side by side, and there was a room next to it, which seemed to be specially waiting here to welcome people. As soon as she came, the servants pulled up the cart and passed through another door in front of her. As soon as she asked, she learned that the yard over there was a place where the carriages and horses were parked, and the coachman and others she brought were also placed there.

Flowers and grass are planted behind the big shadow wall, and a colored stone road extends forward, divided into several different paths leading to different directions. As soon as they passed a door, the servant woman stopped, and was greeted by two maids with a beautiful appearance and a bright smile, both of whom were dressed in the same attire, simple green shirts and skirts, aged fourteen or fifteen years old, and introduced the scenery of the courtyard and the courtyard of the house as they walked.

Wang Xifeng looked at the interesting and rare, and listened to the introduction, only to know that this place is really big, and there are many courtyards with various names and purposes, not only the flowers and trees of the four seasons are properly arranged, but also the large and small kitchens, pastry rooms, libraries, tea rooms, chess rooms, theaters, etc., but there are almost all the pastimes that can be imagined. Wang Xifeng also likes to be lively, and she can't watch them all after listening to them, even so she didn't guess the reason why Lin Qingyun invited her over.

Through the willows, and board a small boat at the small ferry port by the lotus pond, the boat lady will be a little longer, the boat is offshore, and only go to a small island in the pond. It is said to be an island, but it is just a small mound of earth above the water, planted with peach trees, and now the peach blossoms are colorful and gorgeous, reflecting a few houses, it is like a fairyland. It is said that this lotus pond meanders through most of the garden, and there are two similar islands where the view is blocked, but the flowers and plants are different from the houses built.

landed on the island and finally met the person who asked her to come.

Lin Qingyun was sitting on the root carving table and chair under the peach tree, fragrant tea was prepared on the table, and when he saw Wang Xifeng, he invited him to sit down, and asked with a smile: "How is it?" ”

Wang Xifeng heard someone playing the flute, followed the sound for a long time, and finally saw a woman standing in a peach blossom forest, the flute floated over leisurely, with a few pieces of Luoying, that is, Wang Xifeng did not understand poetry and elegant rhyme, and he was speechless with emotion at this moment. Seeing her ask, Wang Xifeng patted his face and sighed exaggeratedly: "Don't hide it from the princess, I have always thought it was a dream since I entered this garden." I really regret that I didn't read two books back then, but if I could write poems, the poems I made here would be collected and printed. This is where the princess built? ”

Lin Qingyun nodded: "I want to entrust you with this garden, are you willing?" ”

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what she said in the old years, and seemed to understand for a while: "What does the princess mean by this?" I'm confused. ”

"My garden is for business, and I don't have any male guests, but only women. It's not convenient for me to manage my identity personally, your identity is suitable, and I don't have to say anything about your ability, so I want to hire you. If you want, how about giving you 10% of the annual profit from the garden? ”

Wang Xifeng is so shrewd, although he was very excited when he first heard about the profits, but after thinking about it, he knew that the greater benefit was not here. If this garden is dedicated to entertaining female guests, with the excellence of the garden and the identity of Prince Lin Qingyun, the source of customers is not worrying at all, and the people she can contact include not only the family members of the adults above the third grade, but even the royal ladies and others, as long as they do a good job, this is a dazzling connection.

"The princess trusts me like this, and I don't say that nonsense, but I feel excited when I listen to it, and I can't wait to do it immediately." At this time, if you think about the right of the housekeeper in the house, it is really not worth mentioning, but what about Baochai who was in charge of the family's business at the beginning? In the end, the name is not right, and in case of major events, you still have to discuss with your mother and brother, after all, the girl's family will marry in the future, and the industry is Xue Pan's. Now she has a serious opportunity to do her own business, and there is no reason to push the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity out, that is a fool.

Lin Qingyun said with a smile: "I have set the opening on the 16th, you have half a month to prepare, and in addition, the fourth sister's feast will be arranged on this Peach Blossom Island, and it will also be handed over to you." ”

Rao is Wang Xifeng thinks he is shrewd and capable, and he was stunned when he heard this: "This, this is too sudden." ”

I took office without the slightest preparation, and it was just a matter of handling the banquet of the fourth sister, it was not troublesome, but there must be a lot of people who came to cheer when it opened, and all identities were above her, in case the reception was not good......

Lin Qingyun chuckled: "Second Grandma Lian, don't worry, I will push you to take office without preparing anything." I have sent out the post, and I have invited several princesses and princesses, princesses and princesses, several princesses and princesses, and several ladies and ladies who have made friends, and they have brought their friends with each other, and the total number is not more than thirty. When the time comes, take them around, the banquet will be placed in the Ningcui Hall, prepare some singing and dancing shows, and everyone will go to play whatever they like, and I will introduce these people to you. At first, you must have been born, and the second grandmother Zheng Jiang next to me came out of the queen's palace, and they will follow you in turns, and they will come to give you the town, and besides, if you are not sure about the ladies and ladies of each family, you can ask them. ”

Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he was full of ambition.

"By the way, I have arranged a courtyard for you, if you want, you can rest here, you can bring your sister Qiao and Brother Kui to come, and grandma will live here when she is on duty. In addition, it is inevitable that you will be entangled in the future, this is a document, signed to take effect, and it is your letter of employment. The account of the garden is checked once a month, and at the end of the year, it is summarized. If there's anything else, you're not sure, and Mama can't be sure, you can go to me. Lin Qingyun explained all the matters.

Wang Xifeng listened carefully, and he had already begun to plan in his mind.

Back in the house, Wang Xifeng handed over the trivial matters in the house to Ping'er, and asked her to ask again if she was not sure. He also told Jia Lian about the errand he received.

Jia Lian saw that her eyes were shining, her cheeks were full of joy, and she couldn't stop talking, and she couldn't help but wonder very much. The two have known each other since childhood, and they have never seen her so excited and happy, as if they are going to do a big job. Thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing, she knew that Sister Feng was a strong person, and her talents were not inferior to men, and she only tossed around in the house in the past.

As soon as Jia Lian heard what she said and did, she knew the benefits, so she naturally didn't stop her.

In a blink of an eye, on the sixteenth, all the people with names and surnames in Beijing came out of the carriages, and without exception, they drove to Changtai Street. Changtai Street is not the main street, it used to be relatively cold, but now it is very lively, many people found that Changtai Street has changed its appearance for the first time, it is already a forest of shops, and the nobles are like clouds.

The idea of setting up a shop near the clubhouse was improvised by Lin Qingyun one day, and he mentioned it like that, but he wrote it down. Of course, Tu Yan did not buy the whole street, but told the emperor about it as a small talk, and the emperor immediately understood his intention, and bought all the street on the right side of the street with his own private warehouse, and sold some of them at a high price, making the illusion that they were serious businessmen behind the scenes, and the remaining few were shops ordered by the emperor. These shops are not about making money, they are collecting information.

In Lin Qingyun's concept, this will not only be a place for noble ladies to gather, but also a threshold for women from small families to enter the jasper family, and there will be foreign businesswomen from all over the world in the future.

Because the word "clubhouse" is not very appropriate, Tu Yan directly named it Changtai Garden.

Daiyu was itchy when she received the post, but she couldn't ask anything, so she could only wait for this day. Because Wang Xifeng was very busy preparing for today's affairs, she lived in the garden two days ago, so she sent a car to pick up Xiangyun on this day, and then went with the two wives in the house and the concubine in the second room.

In front of the gate of Changtai Garden, it can be said that there is a lot of traffic, many people gather on the side of the street or in the teahouse tavern opposite to watch the liveliness, the garden's nurses come out, maintain order, and guide the carriages of the ladies and ladies to enter in a steady and orderly manner.

When Daiyu and his party entered the garden, they were as amazed as Wang Xifeng.

Once you enter the park, each female guest will have a special maid to entertain you, and everyone will go to Ningcui Hall first. Many long tables are arranged inside and outside the hall, with various pastries, tea and wine, etc., which are available to the guests. Lin Qingyun naturally wants to attend today, and is leading Wang Xifeng to introduce the guests to various families. Wang Xifeng is an eight-sided and exquisite character, coupled with Mama's prior training, each family knows a thing or two about their preferences and temperaments, and they are particularly pleasing when they speak. At the same time, I am happy to open today, and I want to give face to the princess, so the atmosphere is excellent.

Wang Xifeng was already very familiar with the process, and arranged several noble ladies and ladies to different resting places.

Lin Qingyun saw Daiyu, but because several princesses of the county arrived, she couldn't get out, so she could only let Acacia entertain her. Daiyu knew that she was busy, so she accompanied her wives for a ride first, and then went to Peach Blossom Island to meet the sisters.

Xiangyun sky □□ lively, as if the eyes were not enough all the way, and finally left the crowd at this time, Xiangyun exclaimed: "This place is really amazing, it is even more spectacular than the Grand View Garden, I love it very much at a glance, and I really want to live for the rest of my life." ”

"It's not difficult for Sister Yun to live for a lifetime, like Sister Feng, this garden can't live for a lifetime." Daiyu admires Wang Xifeng's ability and courage very much, although she can manage the house, she is not interested in this kind of entertainment.

Shi Xiangyun loves to be lively, but she doesn't necessarily like to socialize with all parties, and she doesn't have that good mouth and exquisite heart, so she sighed after listening to Daiyu's words: "How can I have Sister Feng's ability." ”

The two came to the pond to take a boat, and Xiangyun looked in a trance: "It seems to have returned to the Grand View Garden." In the past, there were lotus ponds and boats in the garden, and that year there was a Grandma Liu from the Jia family, and when the old lady was happy, she left people to visit the garden. We also took a boat, Sister Feng still wanted to row it herself, Sister Lin also read Li Yishan's poem, because of that poem, the second brother didn't let people pull out the residual lotus......"

Daiyu was also silent, and only when she landed on the shore did she say, "Sister Yun, those things are over, and people must always move forward." Baoyu is different from the past, and there is nothing that cannot be changed. ”

Xiangyun couldn't help crying when he heard this.

"Sister Yun?" Daiyu was startled and hurriedly comforted her.

Xiangyun stopped his tears, stood under the peach tree by the water, and whispered, "Sister Lin, what should I do?" The Wei family was filial piety in the first month, but he never mentioned family affairs, I don't expect the Wei family to marry me, but, but he left Beijing without saying anything, what should I do? ”

Daiyu couldn't hide her surprise: "You said that Gongzi Wei left the capital?" When was this? ”

"Just half a month ago, Cui Wei accidentally met a girl she knew in the past, and the protagonist of the girl was on the same street as the Wei family, and saw the Wei family packing up their things, and the Wei family only left a few old people to watch the door, and there was no one else. That girl was easy to inquire, and from the people left behind by the Wei family, I heard that Wei Gongzi did not plan to live in the capital anymore, and he would not come back for at least a few years. Xiangyun said and couldn't hold back and cried again.

"Sister Yun......" Daiyu shed tears, and scolded Wei Ruolan hatefully, didn't she want to drag Xiangyun for a lifetime?

"Sister Lin, why are my lives and that of my third sister so miserable? I have spent my whole life in the Wei family, and the third sister has been implicated in the Nan'an Palace, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to ...... in the future" Xiangyun is a chivalrous and enthusiastic person, even if he reaches this point, he may be jealous of the good lives of Daiyu and others, but he will also be sad because of the spring exploration.

Daiyu had never seen Xiangyun so sad and desperate, her heart was heavy and she couldn't breathe, and asked her suddenly: "Sister Yun, let me ask you, if the Wei family wants to break the marriage contract with you, are you willing?" ”

Xiangyun gritted his teeth and said: "If the Wei family is willing, that is my creation!" They all think I'm hard, and whatever is bad is my fault, in this case, I will stay away from them, and I would rather not marry for the rest of my life. ”

Daiyu secretly made up her mind in her heart, but she didn't say anything to Xiangyun, she only wiped her tears: "Good sister, don't be sad for such people, it's not worth it." Let's go over, the four sisters, they should be in a hurry. ”

Xiangyun nodded, with a smile on his face: "Yes, the fourth sister left this time, and I don't know what year I came back." Saying a little sad, he couldn't stop being busy, and said: "I will definitely pour the fourth sister to drink two glasses of wine in a while, so it is ruthless, leave us to be chic." ”

Daiyu knew that she was depressed, so she didn't persuade her.
