Dragon boat festival.

The Pingwang Mansion is extremely lively, the guests are full, and the courtyard is like a city.

Since the end of last year, the emperor decreed that the marriage has been granted for half a year. The engagement banquet of the Pingwang Mansion and the Duhou Mansion was held on the auspicious day of the zodiac during the Dragon Boat Festival.

The princes and magnates of Jinling City came in the carriages of various provinces, bringing their families, noblewomen and daughters to prepare a gift and come to this engagement banquet.

To be honest, many princes did not want to come.

The Marquis of Xiao Duan is about to get engaged to the Lord of Danyang.

Bah~!

Are they still annoyed by what happened before, and they also give gifts to Xiao Duhou?

Mao doesn't want to send half a root!

But if you don't come, you can't do it!

The emperor wanted to be a witness to the marriage and personally came to the engagement banquet of the Pingwang Mansion and the Duhou Mansion. It can be seen that the little dusk marquis is in Long, and he can't afford to offend.

The emperor came to the engagement banquet, could they not come?

The shelf is bigger than the emperor?

"Oh, An Lehou, please hurry inside! The old dusk is waiting inside. ”

"Pingyang Hou, you are always a distinguished guest!"

"Old Prime Minister Xie, you are old!"

"Oh, King Zhongshan, rare guests!"

Mr. Qian led a group of stewards to welcome guests at the gate of King Ping's Mansion and register the congratulatory gifts of the guests, with a beaming face.

In this engagement banquet, Empress Dowager Shen, the emperor and Empress Cui, Yang Guifei, and the crown prince are coming, and almost all the princes and lords of the gate valve families in Jinling City are here, and the face of the Ping Wangfu is full!

These stewards are naturally honored.

...

The Pingwang Mansion has already been decorated with lanterns of various colors.

The engagement feast has not yet begun.

Li Rong, the king of Ping, took a group of princes and ministers to visit the huge Pingwang Mansion.

Xiang Fei, the king of Zhongshan, Kong Hanyou, the prime minister, Wang Su, the imperial historian, Xie Huyong, the old minister of Ping, Li Rong, the old man, and a large group of princes and high-ranking officials such as Taichang Lu Zi and Yang Chu of the Great Agricultural Order, are visiting the Pingwang Mansion.

In the house, the courtyard is heavy, the pavilion is jade, the vertical gate garden, and the rockery lotus pond can be seen.

In particular, Li Rong's newly built five-storey library pavilion, with colored glazed tiles and blue carved jade railings, stands tall in the garden and is the most eye-catching.

This library pavilion is also Li Rong's most proud handwriting.

It's too cheesy to be more powerful than the power.

As the head of the top ten gate valves in Jinling, the high-ranking and powerful Sangong Taiwei, the hereditary reckless King Ping, is a bully compared to the powerful.

Of course, Li Rong didn't bother to show off those things.

than the collection of books, this is the essence of the gate valve family context.

The Pingwang Mansion is a martial heirloom, and the house is full of martial artists.

In the eyes of many scholarly lords in Jinling City, this is somewhat despised by the lords, and they often ridicule Taiwei Li Rong for this matter.

Li Rong has spent nearly 50,000 taels of silver in this library pavilion. This is not counting the cost of copying paper books in the later period.

"This king's library can store millions of paper books! This king has invited 100 scholars to copy the world's books day and night, filling this library of books, and has copied nearly a thousand books.

In less than ten years, I will be able to get hundreds of thousands of books in the Pingwang Mansion. There is a lot of sweat and cows, nothing more than this! ”

Li Rong was in high spirits and said with a smile.

"Brother Pingwang, copy millions of books... Copy so much, I won't be able to finish reading it in this life! ”

Xiang Fei was shocked.

Kong Hanyou, Wang Su, Yang Chu and other gate valve owners were shocked and looked at each other.

This is too arrogant!

The bookstores in many scholarly door valves' homes are still piled up with mountains of bamboo slips, and dozens of side rooms can't be placed, and they haven't had time to copy and grasp paper books.

But in fact, a room full of bamboo slip books has been greatly reduced after being copied into paper books, and there are only about 100 books. A cowcart full of bamboo slips is nothing more than a thin paper book of hundreds of thousands of words.

In Jinling City, there are thousands of books on bamboo slips, and they already dare to boast of a scholarly family.

No matter how much there is, there are not so many rooms in the house to stack bamboo slips.

If you can fill the five-story library in front of you, it will cost at least 100,000 copies, or even tens or millions of copies, and the Pingwang Mansion can be called the library of the Great Chu Dynasty.

Even if it is the palace and the royal family's collection of books, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up.

Show off, show off nakedly!

"King Ping is too arrogant!"

Wang Su was a little sour.

Before, he used the fact that there were no books in the Ping Wangfu to ridicule Li Rong, the king of Ping.

I didn't expect that so soon the Ping Wangfu would take the lead in Jinling City, and in another one or two decades, I am afraid that it will become a first-class scholarly family in Jinling City.

Jinling Xie family, Wang family, Lu family, Cui family... These gate valves boast of being scholarly door valves, and they will be a head shorter in the future.

It seems that after going back, you have to send someone to copy the paper book!

You can't be crushed by the Li family.

All the princes and lords of the gate valve are secret.

...

Pingwangfu, on the other side.

The second lady, Xie Liyuan, and dozens of noble ladies were drinking tea in the backyard house.

The ladies were all shocked, and when they saw the furnishings in the house, they could see all kinds of glazed treasures everywhere.

Glazed teacups, glazed treasure teapots, glazed flying crane incense burners,... There is also a pair of large round mirrors with gold wire trim that are more than a foot long, and the most shocking.

Luxury, top-notch luxury.

"Second lady, this~, what is this? Why is there anyone in there?! ”

Madame Wang held the gold-rimmed mirror in her hand, reflecting her noble face.

The ladies around gathered to watch, all shocked.

These days, they have long heard that the concubines in the palace have glass treasures in their hands, which are refined by Xiao Duhou.

However, they usually don't have a chance to enter the palace, and they can only enter the palace for a feast.

When I came to the Pingwang Mansion, I finally saw these legendary glass treasures.

But I saw that in this mirror, their lifelike figures were printed, and they could be seen at all. A single strand of their hair can be reflected clearly.

Even the look in those eyes was exactly the same as a real person.

This is much stronger than a bronze mirror.

The makeup bronze mirror they use can only reflect a rough picture, and even the skin color is a little blurry, let alone reflect the hair.

The ladies saw such a miraculous thing for the first time, and they were all shocked and disbelievable.

"This is a glass mirror!

I heard from Xiao Duhou that the front is made of the purest transparent glass, and the back is a mirror plated with a layer of silver.

Such a gold-trimmed mirror is at least a thousand taels of silver. ”

The second lady smiled.

These are the ones that Li Yu and Xiao Duhou took the initiative to honor her yesterday. said that the two were about to get engaged, and they invented a novel glass treasure and gave it to the second lady as a matter of filial piety.

The little dusk marquis actually gave her a treasure.

It's like the sun is coming out of the west.

Of course, the second lady laughed.

Silver is a trifle, and these rare things are so good that you can't put it down. In this huge Jinling City, in addition to the palace queens and concubines, there is also the Pingwang Mansion.

This is also a big face, which is enough for her to be proud in front of all the noblewomen in Jinling for many years.

"Such a magical treasure mirror is only a thousand taels of silver...? Help me ask Xiao Duhou, if there is anything else. Sister I want one too! ”

"Yes, yes, help me ask."

The ladies were talking anxiously.

For them, princes and noblewomen, a thousand taels of silver is nothing, just a month's pocket money. There is no treasure mirror at home, and if you can't keep up with the trend of Jinling, you will be laughed at by other noblewomen.
