Chapter 837: Visitors from Exotic Lands (2)
Hailong whispered to Tian Liang: "Dude, your fruit wine is very mellow and authentic, it is brewed from red grapes, right?" ”
Tian Liang said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the owner of the hotel, and I drank it all at once, it was brewed with red grapes, or the recipe you gave." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
When the food was served, sixteen maids dressed in uniform walked lightly and carefully brought the dishes on the red lacquered wooden plate to the table. quickly stood in a row and left lightly, walking in unison, and the posture was quite good-looking, which stunned Lan Lan, Tingting and Xiaoli.
The prince gave the oldest of them a chopstick dish, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, use it casually, since you are friends, there is no polite reason, use chopsticks." ”
Thanked him seriously and politely: "I'll call you uncle." What are you laughing at? I declare in advance that I am the least polite person, and I want to taste the dishes on each plate and see how the dishes are in this place where we came. ”
Yun'er said: "We run a big restaurant for the Queen Mother in our house, and the dishes in it are all taken out by Sister Fujin after a successful trial, I hope you can like it." ”
Yun'er's hint was serious and immediately understood, she meant to say something to praise Fu Jin herself, and the others also understood. In fact, you don't need to taste it to know that the color and flavor are good. There are several dishes that are in the Manchu and Han banquets, as well as famous dishes of the Beijing style and representative dishes of local flavors. Tian Liang gave vegetables to a few male guests, and Yun'er naturally served vegetables to a few female compatriots. Serious, Lan Lan and Tingting are still a little reserved, Xiaoli will not be like an intellectual and pay attention to etiquette. She didn't need anyone to make dishes, she just ate them in a few dishes in front of her, and praised while eating: "Not bad, Sister Fujin, the dishes you experimented with are more authentic than ours." ”
Fu Jin likes Xiaoli's true temperament very much. He said gently, "I heard my sister say that thanks to the help of your friends in the foreign land, we don't know how to thank it." I hope you can stay in the house for a few more days and see the customs of our Great Qing Kingdom. ”
Lan Lan said: "We are very grateful to the eldest sister and Mr. Fu for their hospitality, but I and this Teacher Xu are teachers, so we can only take a look at your business situation according to Master Ganlin's instructions for about forty days during the summer vacation." I'm here to see how far Yunyun's painting has progressed, this Teacher Xu is learning music with you, Master Gan Lin said that you are very expert in composing music, and it just so happens that Teacher Xu is a professor of vocal music at the Central Academy of Fine Arts: This Mr. Yan and Mr. Hailong are both in business, and they can discuss business with Mr. Fu. A few of us will do our best, please rest assured. ”
Yun'er asked, "Seriously, don't you want to run a law firm?" Isn't it in vain that you read your laws in business? ”
"We have to be familiar with the law when doing business there, and many economic disputes are because we don't know the law."
After being full of wine and food, Yun'er took a few friends to rest.
The dinner of the five guests was served in the Xiaoyao Palace, this time, Wang Ye, Fujin and Yun'er invited Mr. Chen's two people, Tian Liang's two, Nalan's two, Mangge's two, Suo Qing's two, Zhu's two Yiguan, Ma Yushi's two, Xuan'er and Rui'er's two, Xue'er Bing'er, Baobaobei's sisters and brothers, etc., a total of twenty-eight people, made up four tables.
Xiaoli asked Yun'er in a low voice: "Sister Yunyun, are these people from your family?" ”
"Not all, there are high-ranking officials in the house, Mr. and Mrs. Chen introduced to you by the prince are my parents, and the one named Xuan'er and his daughter-in-law are my eldest son, Xue'er and Bing'er are Fujin's daughters and sons-in-law, and baby Beibei is something you know, right?"
"Can I sit with them?"
"Yes, baby Beibei, the two of you come here, E-Niang will introduce you to you, this is Aunt Qiao, when a few of us were in a foreign land, Aunt Qiao took E-Niang and your uncle to the street every day to buy things, after you were born, she liked you very much, hugged you every day, coaxed you. It's called Aunt Qiao. ”
Baby Beibei was very well-behaved and shouted in unison: "Aunt Qiao is good." ”
"Okay, okay, how are you? Grown so big, so beautiful, cute, and well-behaved, Auntie likes you so much. As he spoke, he picked up both children. Stick it to their faces and touch their hair. Baby Beibei's appearance has changed a little from when she was young, but she is still so beautiful. You can see that you are very tutored in your speech and actions. I never robbed adults, and I didn't run crazy. The dress is very decent, and the clothes are very particular, but not red and green. They have been studying with their grandfather for several years and have reached the level of graduating from junior high school.
The prince introduced several friends from foreign lands to several chief managers and Suo Qing, medical officials, and imperial historians. Let a few people get to know Lan Lan and the others, so as not to be interrogated in the future. This time, even if it is a family banquet, it is also 36 dishes. Take the auspicious meaning of "six six major shun".
After dinner, Yu'er took the baby Beibei to their grandparents' house, and she herself observed whether there was any interaction between Xiaoli and Tian Liang. Yun'er said that this Xiaoli once fell in love with Tian Liang, and she was a little wary, and it was not very serious. Since Tian Liang took a concubine, he has not alienated himself, and he knows that his husband is really not that kind of lustful person. If you are lustful, you will often be in Hui'er's room or in Caizhu's room. During the year, it is rare to patronize the flowers and branches. Especially Wanyan, I go to it once a month a lot.
It was summer, and it was very hot, until the sun went down and it was not so hot, so the prince asked Yun'er to take a few friends out to visit the garden and see the scenery.
According to Yun'er, Xiaoli and others only then learned that because of the silver for the treasury, Emperor Shunzhi gave the prince the titles of the two princes, as well as the ruling power to rule eight eastern and southeastern provinces such as Heilongjiang and Jilin, as well as the title of nine thousand years old. His eldest son, the boy of Yun Yunsheng, was named Prince Xuan by Emperor Shunzhi because he answered the math problems given to the Qing Emperor by the envoys of the Rakshasa Kingdom, the English Kingdom and the Japanese State at the state banquet for entertaining foreign envoys, and in turn mocked the envoys of these countries. One mansion is big enough, Mr. Fu himself has one, Prince Xuan has one, and the one of Ba Shizi is the mansion of the general of the Ming Dynasty. Father and son, three people, four sets of people! Several guests visited Mr. Fu's mansion and garden, as well as Prince Xuan's mansion, which had not yet been built, and now it is full of flowers and bees and butterflies. Lan Lan and Tingting wondered where this mansion should be in Beijing, but in fact, this was not the space where they were.
At night, the two men were arranged in the east side of the room, and the three ladies were arranged in Ling Juan's residence.
The next day, several people began their short-term mission. Serious, Hailong, Tian Liang, and Nalan installed the solar power generation equipment that Yun'er had carried over the air in the empty place on the roof of the Ming Dynasty prince's treasury. That's a big open space, and in a foreign land, no level of cadres has such a big territory.
Serious and Hailong are Tian Liang's iron buddies, and when they are not in front of the prince, they talk as casually as Xiaoli. They are all very strange about what the people in the house call Tian Liang, some people call him the chief, some people call him an adult, and some call him the grandfather of the country. asked: "Dude, what level is this grandfather?" ”
Nalan was a self-acquaintance, and said to Serious: "This brother is right, Liangzi is better than a few of us." Previously, he, I, and the big mangge guard, and the Batel guard who returned to the Mongolian steppe, and the people in the house called us the four kings of the prince. When we came back from a foreign land, we found that he was very knowledgeable, and the things he brought back were all things that we had never seen in the Qing Dynasty. We don't know what it is, but he can tinker with it and use it, and he can do business. The previous manager died, and the prince directly promoted him to the head of the palace, and he was indeed talented. You know, Prince An's daughter is his concubine......"
"What, Nalan guard, you mean Tian Liang actually took a concubine?"
Nalan knew he was talking too much. Shut up.
Tian Liang said slowly: "You should understand that we live in a country without any human rights, not only me, but even Nalan himself cannot accept the palace maids sent by the Queen Mother." ”
said solemnly: "Okay, hard distribution, you guy is really blessed, if I have such a thing, my teacher Xu will not give up if she catches up on her green silk for Xiao San." Can I peek at Mrs. Ru, the head steward? ”
"Also peep, you don't have to be sneaky, look at it generously. I am not a concubine, but there are four such as ladies. ”
Serious and Hailong's eyes were as wide as walnuts: "I see that you are usually upright and awe-inspiring, but I can't imagine that you are still very sullen." Your Excellency the women, your body ......"
"Is there a rule that I have to do something, or when to do it?"
"Well, you can take it easy."
Nalan laughed, and Tian Liang whispered: "Let you owe, I'll clean you up when I go back." ”
Nalan wailed, "Big brother! Do you think my brother and I feel better? I'm just like your old man, the three women looked at me like thieves, and as soon as I entered the door, I was confused. ”
"Then you will enjoy the blessings of Qi people."
Once the preparations are made, the installation begins. This kind of work sea dragon is the most expert, he read the drawings and understood, after installing the first group, he went to get the second group. Tian Liang and Zheng Zheng installed the third group separately, and the progress was very fast.
Lan Lan tutored Yun'er in painting. According to her imagination, Yun'er's current level is very good to be able to create independently. Painting is not a matter of strength, but it requires the use of skills and brains. Talent is very important, that is to say, you must have a strong understanding, and you must draw inferences from others.
But when she saw Yun'er's paintings, she felt that her jaw hurt the surface of her feet. It can be said that Yun'er's painting level has reached the level of a master, far surpassing herself! She could only tell Yun'er about the detours and lessons she had learned to paint for more than 20 years.
In fact, these are also very precious. She didn't tutor Yun'er, but learned a lot from Yun'er in the competition. For example, the mentality when painting, how to overcome painting and utilitarianism, and the relationship between skill and proficiency, etc. Lan Lan said: "You go back with me, you can have at least a university professor position when you go back, your level has not only far surpassed me, but has reached the height of a master, come back with me." ”
"No, there are my parents, my home, my husband and children, and what I have to do. I also imagine that the eldest sister would leave here as soon as possible. You don't know that a few years ago, we were really worried about doing things, the emperor Shunzhi was fine, the queen mother at that time often constrained us, tested us at every turn, or made a surprise attack, and once raided us. We are making money for his son, and she is still interfering with us! Fortunately, it was Master Gan Lin who helped us, otherwise we would have been unlucky if Emperor Shunzhi left. ”
"How so?" Lan Lan and Xu Tingting were very puzzled, of course they couldn't understand the mentality of the feudal rulers.
Lan Lan taught Yun'er how to hold solo exhibitions, Chinese painting exhibitions, as well as how to paint flower cloth patterns, print and dye flower cloth, tie-dye and other methods. She also taught Yun'er how to use a computer to edit pictures and how to convert photographed flower pictures into white sketches. She had already bought Yun'er a high-power, large-paper photocopier, which could print a manuscript the size of a whole sheet of paper. In this way, those who have a little painting foundation in Yun'er Mansion can paint and sell them for money. Anyway, when she remembered it, she immediately taught it to Yun'er, and she taught Yun'er the skills she didn't usually care about when she remembered it.
Xiaoli also told Yun'er about her cloth skills. I also helped Yun'er buy a large number of patchwork fabrics, as well as new patchwork tools, and also learned the patchwork works created by women in the Qing Dynasty here.
The most serious and hard-working one is Fu Jin, who is learning music creation with Mr. Xu. For example, the high-pitched military songs during the parade of troops, the music used for court songs and dances, the music on the birthday of the emperor and the empress dowager, and even funeral music. There are also well-known songs and dances, local opera singing, excerpts and so on.
During this period, Tian Liang has been accompanying Cheng Cheng and Hailong, not only to work, but also to the streets. The two men were apparently prepared, specializing in antique shops, treasure shops, pawn shops, and so on. They had silver in their hands, and the classmates of Serious and Hailong helped them exchange cash for silver ingots.
He didn't know what the real thing was, so Tian Liang suggested that he show his father, who had a unique eye for jewelry and antiques, and there weren't so many fakes in this period. After reading it, Mr. said that they were all genuine, but the production time was relatively short, and it would not be too valuable, so he suggested that they buy porcelain and bronze.
After practicing in the middle of the night, Yun'er began to look for the new goods that her master had brought back. Her celestial eye function is constantly improving. Now it is possible to see not only clearly, but also the age, unit price, name and specific location indicated on it. A total of 589 million yuan of goods, that is, the money left over from the first bulk purchase, not even a cent! This is what the eldest sister and Mr. Zhong have been watching and buying, and after the goods were bought, Master Ganlin transferred them back to Daqing. Their husband and wife's mission was accomplished, and they soon left the foreign world.
In fact, the eldest sister is the Qinglu Bodhisattva of the same level as the Holy World and Ganlin Bodhisattva, and she was sent by the Holy Rulai to the time and space in the foreign land to help the three princes, and Mr. Zhong is the Arhat level of that world, and they came to the foreign space in the form of husband and wife. To live a worldly life for decades, to have children, and to have a career and love.
