Chapter 207: Ying He
Zhou Ziting listened from the sidelines and stuck out her tongue towards Qingyun.
Qingyun wanted to laugh a little, the third old lady and the old lady had been fighting for most of their lives, and they didn't know what each other's hearts were.
She didn't promise to help at first, but now she doesn't need it, and the old lady will be rare if she sends it up.
Zhou Ziting took Qingyun to the warm pavilion to write an invitation, Mu Qianjiao wanted to follow, but she couldn't pull her face.
Soon, Zhou Ziting wrote the invitation, and Qingyun drew an orchid on each one.
Then with the invitation, I went back to Ling Xueyuan.
Out of Chunhui Courtyard, Qingying asked, "Girl, who is this invitation for?" ”
Qingyun smiled, "If you don't give it to anyone, sell it." ”
“…… Didn't the old lady not allow the girl to sell invitations? "Qingying is a little incomprehensible.
The girl just agreed to the old lady, why do you want to sell it again?
Qingyun shrugged lightly and said, "I want to sell it simply, but people have to force me to sell it in a high-end way, and I can only go with the flow." ”
Qingying's eyes widened, and she didn't understand Qingyun's words.
Soon, though, she understood.
Qingyun handed the invitation to Wei Chi and asked him to take it to Fengmanlou, and let the shopkeeper of Fengmanlou help auction it, and as for the silver taels, all the money obtained was used for disaster relief.
The Hou Mansion held a banquet, and the streets of Kyoto heard about it.
Many people racked their brains in order to get the invitation, but Qingyun closed the back door, and they didn't know one by one.
Now a window is being opened......
Anyway, this afternoon, the building is overcrowded.
Fengmanlou has stood in Kyoto for more than ten years, and the fame is there, and after the invitation of the Fengmanlou auction, it is impossible to have a fake.
Who doesn't want to be able to invite the emperor's invitation.
One by one, they scrambled to bid, and in less than a while, ten invitations were sold out, and they were sold for 60,000 taels of silver.
This thing. A gust of wind sent back to the Hou Mansion.
Hearing the news, the old lady had a stunned expression.
Mother Sun looked at the old lady with a look of disbelief. "It took only two hours for the third girl to take the invitation, and she sold it for 60,000 taels of silver? Why don't the slaves believe it? ”
The maid who told the prayer said, "Mother Sun, don't believe it, it's true, and the three girls auctioned the invitation for disaster relief." Everyone said that the three girls were good-hearted, and the Hou Mansion taught her daughters well, and there were still some things that they hadn't bought, so they were asking if the Hou Mansion had anything to sell. ”
The old lady looked at Mother Sun and said, "Isn't she going to raise money to buy prizes?" ”
Mother Sun is puzzled, the third girl will not dare to deceive people so grandly, if this is to be spread, it will ruin her reputation.
The old lady was not at ease, so she asked Mother Sun to ask Ling Xueyuan to ask Qingyun.
Qingyun invited Mother Sun to sit. smiled, "Grandmother is too worried, how could Qingyun bury her reputation for some money, the 60,000 taels, said it is disaster relief, it will not be used elsewhere, as for the 10,000 taels of silver to buy the prize, Qingyun paid it herself." ”
Mother Sun was stunned when she heard this, "Three girls." You....... ”
How can anyone pay their own money for a banquet?
Qingyun said that she paid it, and Mother Sun didn't know what to say, so she could only go back and tell the old lady truthfully.
The old lady shook her head and sighed. was satisfied with Qingyun and pity at the same time, "This child, how can she be so stupid, she said to pay it herself, and the eldest lady will definitely not take it from the princess." I don't have 10,000 taels on her, so I can only marry her, and I will marry her two more shops. ”
In fact, the 10,000 taels that Qingyun took out were wool from the sheep.
Of the ten invitations to the auction, Wei Chi bought the first three, the first one for two thousand taels, the second one for four thousand taels, and the third one for five thousand taels...... Raise the price.
After that, the three invitations were sold on the black market, making a net profit of 10,000 taels, which happened to be used to buy prizes.
How could Qingyun be stupid, the Hou Mansion held a banquet, and she paid out of her pocket?
And so the day passed.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, she was woken up.
There will be a banquet tomorrow, and the banquet table has not yet been made, and the people of the Hou Mansion are afraid that it will be too late.
Qingyun held back in the quilt for a while, couldn't sleep, and had to get up.
After breakfast, she went to Chunhui Courtyard to greet the old lady.
The old lady was very concerned about the banquet, and when she saw Qingyun, she asked, "I heard from the maid that the banquet table has not been prepared yet, is it too late today?" ”
Qingyun nodded and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, the banquet table will be set up today." ”
Before Qingyun's words fell, the maid outside said, "Old lady, the second old lady's mansion is here." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Let him in." ”
Soon, the maid brought in a young man in a brocade robe, about seventeen years old, handsome, humble and polite.
When I entered the house, I first greeted the old lady, and then called Cousin Qingyun and Cousin Zhou.
The Hou Mansion held a banquet, and the Shangshu Mansion shirked and did not help, Mu Wenxin readily agreed, and the old lady was very satisfied with him.
He looked at Qingyun and said, "Cousin Qingyun, can I help you with anything?" ”
Qingyun said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry first, if the county lord of Ruoyao and the king of Mingjun will come in a while, I will say together, in addition, we have to pick prizes today, you and the king of Mingjun are in charge of what the young master of the family likes." ”
Saying that, Qingyun looked at Zhou Ziting and said, "By the way, Cousin Ziting, are you going to attend the banquet or be the host of the banquet?" ”
Zhou Ziting didn't understand a little, "What is a banquet host?" ”
Qingyun said with a smile, "It's what Mr. Zhou has to do when everyone performs, but I made a change and divided it into two groups, Ruoyao County Lord and Mingjun Wang Group, you or I and Wenxin's cousin Group, as the host, you can't participate in the performance, and those ladies and young masters of the family will participate in activities and win prizes." ”
Qingyun is interesting enough, she asked Zhou Ziting to choose.
Zhou Ziting was a little hesitant.
She wanted to participate in the event, but it seemed better to be a banquet host, and everyone could see her.
Zhou Ziting weighed one or two and decisively chose to host the banquet, after all, if the county lord of Ruoyao and the king of Ming County are both hosts, it must be a good thing.
Qingyun nodded and said, "One thing, what I will tell you in a while, about what the banquet performance, must not be leaked half a word." ”
Zhou Ziting and Mu Wenxin nodded like pounded garlic.
The old lady watched from the sidelines, and said angrily, "It's mysterious, can't even grandmother know about it?" ”
Qingyun shook her head, and the old lady didn't care about her.
About a cup of tea. Ruoyao County Lord and Ming County King came, and the two came by coincidence and arrived together.
Not only coincidentally, but the two also recognized each other at the gate of the Hou Mansion.
King Ming looked at Lord Ruoyao. Surprised, "Are you Ruoyao?" ”
Lord Ruoyao snorted lightly and said very unhappily, "I recognized you a long time ago, but it took you so long to recognize me!" ”
King Mingjun sneered. "I also think you are a little similar, but King Yijun said that the longer you get, the uglier you become, the longer you get, the more stupid you become, I don't dare to admit it."
Lord Ruoyao's face turned red instantly, and he almost stomped his feet and said, "I know that he has nothing good to say to describe me, don't get too close to him in the future, he likes to take people into the ditch the most." ”
This sentence was late, and he had not returned to Beijing for a few days, and he was taken to the ditch twice.
Qingyun listened. Some shook their shoulders with laughter.
She stepped forward and said hello to the lord of Ruoyao and the king of Mingjun.
Lord Ruoyao helped Qingyun up and said, "Sister Qingyun is polite to me, if you don't dislike me for being stupid and can't help anything, I'm very happy." ”
Qingyun invited a few people into the house, in the main hall of the outer courtyard, Qingyun told the banquet what to do, and what they needed to do with the king of Mingjun, one by one.
King Mingjun was a little stunned when he heard this, "I've only been away from Beijing for a few years. Is this how all banquets are held in Kyoto? ”
King Mingjun had a sense of shame that he was outdated.
Lord Ruoyao covered his mouth and smiled, "What about the coincidence of your return to Beijing, the banquet held by Sister Qingyun is different from the others." It's also more interesting. ”
After discussing in the main hall for most of the hour, when the county lord Ruoyao and the others understood, several people went out of the house together to choose gifts.
Qingyun took five thousand taels and handed them over to King Mingjun and Mu Wenxin, and asked them to buy the prize of the young master of the family, while Qingyun and Ruoyao County Lord and Zhou Ziting went to buy what everyone liked by the ladies.
five thousand taels of silver for six things. The prizes are impressive.
Especially the first place, a headdress worth two thousand taels, not to mention Zhou Ziting, even the county lord Ruoyao was tempted.
She exclaimed, "The Hou Mansion is so courageous. ”
Zhou Ziting said in her heart, the Hou Mansion does not have such a big courage, her grandmother may be reluctant, but her aunt is reluctant, and the one who has the courage is the third cousin.
Buying such a valuable headdress as a reward for others, she didn't even blink her eyes, she was really wealthy.
Don't look at only six gifts, it's really time-consuming to pick them up.
It took two hours to buy it, and I was still hungry in the middle, so I had a lunch, and then we went back to the Hou Mansion together.
When I returned to the Hou Mansion, I learned that King Mingjun and they had come back an hour ago.
Qingyun sighed that a man buying things is refreshing.
The group walked around the Hou Mansion, and the county lord Ruoyao couldn't wait, she looked at Qingyun with a pair of bright eyes, and said, "I really want to arrive early tomorrow, I can't help but think, and you gave me such a heavy task, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep nervously tonight." ”
Qingyun smiled, "What's so nervous about this, there is King Mingjun with you." ”
Lord Ruoyao nodded, looked at Qingyun and said, "Is this banquet really all thought up by you, Sister Qingyun?" ”
Qingyun smiled, and Zhou Ziting smiled, "It's not the third cousin who came up with it alone, if you hadn't come here today, I wouldn't have known what the banquet would be." ”
Lord Ruoyao said with a smile, "The banquet of the Hou Mansion must be unprecedented. ”
The thought that she could host such a fun banquet made my heart bubble beautifully.
Sister Qingyun thinks about her when she has good things.
After getting familiar with the banquet venue, Qingyun asked Ruoyao County Lord and them to go back, rest well today, and come to the Hou Mansion early tomorrow.
The banquet table, so many little guys were busy until the first day of the lanterns.
The next day, there was a hint of whiteness in the sky.
Qingying and magpie came over and dragged Qingyun to get up.
Qingyun was asleep, and the maid called her, but she only murmured, "Don't make noise, let me sleep for a while." ”
Qingying was helpless, pulled the quilt and said, "Girl, the Hou Mansion is holding a banquet today, and when the banquet is over, you can sleep until when you want." ”
Qingyun woke up in an instant, she was really asleep, how could she forget the banquet.
Hurry up and get dressed.
When she walked out of Ling Xueyuan and towards the garden, she saw Mu Qingrou coming from a distance.
Several people were dressed up, with a smile on their faces, and when they saw her, their smiles were restrained, and their faces were quite unhappy, "A few of us are out of the courtyard, aren't the third sisters happy, even the emperor punished the king of Anjun and the king of Yijun, and they were allowed to come to the banquet today, not to mention that we are just grounded!" ”
Mu Qingzhi said peacefully, "That is, the king of Anjun and the king of Yijun are messing around and almost killing you, you can not blame the past, invite them to come, the banquet is held in the mansion, but we are grounded, like words?" ”
