The second half of July is the busiest time after Yun Xiangrong entered Beijing, the focus is on decoration, the princess's mansion is actually not a large area of repair, it is a building that complies with regulations, and the main project is the interior decoration and courtyard design.

The interior decoration was all over at the end of July, and the royal renovation team had left the princess's mansion.

The outer courtyard does not need to be managed by Yun Xiang, and the furniture of Boya Zhai ordered by Yun Xue before has entered the princess's mansion one after another.

But the inner courtyard is different, you can be completely in charge, so the furniture, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., have to be selected personally, Yun Xue and Jiang Qingchen almost accompanied Yun Xiangrong to the furniture and antique markets in the capital.

In the end, the big items are basically set, and the small things have to be looked at again, many people with decoration experience told Yun Xiangrong that you can't rush to buy things, and many times you have to live for a while to know what you really need.

Jiang Qingchen didn't care what the inner courtyard looked like, as long as Yun Xiangrong liked it.

He cares about the same thing, that is, his study must be very close to the bedroom, so that even if Yun Xiangrong is angry and punished to sleep in the study, others will not be able to see it.

Yun Xiangrong felt that Jiang Qingchen was not honest, it was not like this at all, he mainly thought that it didn't matter if he was punished to sleep in the study, and when he fell asleep, he could secretly sleep back in bed.

In mid-July, Shangguan Song, the head of the Shangguan family, arrived in the capital and helped the princess's mansion design a complete set of organs.

It is said that it will take some time from the design drawings of the organ to the construction, but Shangguan Song knows that this is to enter the capital to make the organ for the princess's mansion, so many confidential parts have already been made and brought into the capital together, as long as the drawings are confirmed, the installation of the organ will be very fast.

At the market price, the official family's entire courtyard organ costs at least 5,000 taels of silver.

This is not to say that just a picture, even if the production and installation of the Shangguan family are over, debugging is the most troublesome thing. Jiang Qingchen felt that according to the scale of the princess's mansion and his own requirements, it would probably cost more than 10,000 taels of silver, Yun Xiangrong was not ambiguous, and directly gave Jiang Qingchen a silver ticket of 20,000 taels.

But Shangguan Song was confiscated alive or dead, and Jiang Qingchen finally spent 5,000 taels, not for Shangguan Song, but for people who do things every day, after all, materials and labor cost money, and if this work is done by Shangguan's family, it will not look good.

Besides, the current Shangguan family is not Shangguan Song alone, and he also needs to give an explanation to the family when he goes back.

Shangguan Song designed the agency for the princess's mansion, which was the mentality of helping, and he never thought of collecting cash.

In fact, he didn't know Jiang Qingchen before, his youngest son Shangguan Xing got into a lawsuit and was arrested, he didn't know what to do, Jiang Qingchen took the initiative to find himself.

Shangguan Song is very familiar with the people on the rivers and lakes, but he has no way to be in the officialdom. He knew that Jiang Qingchen was not helping himself, mainly to save his cousin Jiang Dongye.

But what does it matter, everyone can have the same goal. In the end, Jiang Dongye and Shangguan Xing were sentenced to two years of exile, and they were also selected to Fujian where the conditions were not so difficult.

In fact, excluding the itinerary and holidays on the road, I will be released from prison in half a year.

The reason why Shangguan Song came to the capital so quickly was also to see his youngest son and have a relationship by the way, of course, this relationship was also contacted by Jiang Qingchen, after all, the child had never suffered hardship, so the official agreed to bring two subordinates with him.

Shangguan Song is also a good father, of course the child will be angry when he causes trouble, but he also understands that because there are many children in the family, Shangguan Xing usually receives too little love, and he always wants to come forward to prove that he is capable, but he causes trouble.

Chen of the General's Mansion was sentenced to ten years of exile and was really not wronged, he was guilty of three crimes, one was to forge the name of the General's Mansion to trade abroad. The second is to buy and sell. The third is to confess the guilt and impersonate without changing it.

At that time, the three of them cooperated to open a shop in the capital that was dedicated to house design agencies and small selling institutions. The three of them had a clear division of labor at that time, Chen Zifa sent out the store, Shangguan Xing came out of technology, and Jiang Dongye made contacts and looked for customers.

In fact, Jiang Dongye originally brought in his second uncle Jiang Yanhao's eldest son Jiang Shengzhan, but he didn't meet everyone, he felt that his connections were limited. It's always good to bring in a brother of your own.

As a result, who thought of something in the end, Jiang Dongye was also righteous, and he didn't confess Jiang Shengzhan, and now Jiang Shengzhan is still hiding in the Zhuangzi outside his home, not daring to return to the capital, for fear of being arrested.

Jiang Qingchen came forward just to make the matter clearer, who is responsible and who bears it, although in the end he also paid the victim family silver, but it was also compensated according to the "Xiliang Statute", and the extra silver Shangguan Song didn't spend a penny, so he respected and appreciated Jiang Qingchen very much.

Jiang Mengmeng got married on the second day of August, ten days before the wedding, there was a ceremony for sisters to add makeup, Jiang Xinxin went, Yun Xiangrong was also invited, originally Yun Xiangrong didn't care, anyway, if you tell me to go, I'll go, it's good not to go.

The second aunt really wanted Yun Xiangrong to go, but Yun Xue refused, and now Yun Xiangrong's identity is a princess, and she has not officially become her daughter-in-law. If the identity is a princess, you can't go, because Jiang Mengmeng is not Yun Xiangrong's sisters, the princesses are.

The second aunt also knew that what Yun Xue said was right, but she also felt that her family's marriage was high, and she especially hoped that Yun Xiangrong would help support the scene. Yun Xiangrong is definitely a smart person, although he didn't go on the day of adding makeup, he asked Jiang Xinxin to bring a golden hairpin from the royal gift, which was very generous.

Jiang Mengmeng was very grateful.

On July 20, Yun Xiangrong got the news that Qin Huai had returned to Beijing and wanted to visit immediately, but Jiang Qingchen said that the Qin family had thanked the guests, saying that Qin Huai was unwell and recuperating at home, so it was inconvenient to meet guests.

Everyone understands this, after all, when you are old, you have been out for so many years, and when you go home, you must take a good rest.

At the end of July, Yun Xiangrong received an invitation from the second prince, saying that it was scheduled for July 26, and a reception banquet would be held for Qin Huai, and Yun Xiangrong and Jiang Qingchen were invited to go together, and Ye Haihua was also invited.

Several people arrived at the appointment on time.

When the second prince and the princess heard that the guests were coming, they were very enthusiastic and went out to greet them, saying that Qin Huai had arrived.

Ye Haihua came with them, and Yun Xiangrong hadn't seen Ye Haihua for a long time, and felt that he had become a lot deeper recently.

Many times, love doesn't go well, and it really makes people grow.

Yun Xiangrong is the first time to enter the second prince's palace, in fact, all the palaces are made according to the rules, there is no big difference, Yun Xiangrong is impressed by the fact that the maids of the second prince's family are really good-looking.

Each one looks different, each has its own characteristics, there are delicate models, cute types, sweet types, and cold types, doesn't it mean that men will only like one type of woman? How could it be different when it came to the palace of the second prince? The second prince is really discerning.

The second prince had complained to Jiang Xi'an before that the Yun family clothing shop opened a store in the capital, and it was in the Wanke Building, and he didn't receive the clothes, but the prince had already had new clothes to wear.

When he came to the palace this time, Yun Xiangrong didn't think much about preparing gifts, and directly made a new set of clothes for the second prince and the second princess.

There are no surprises, a few days ago, the tailor of the Yunjia clothing workshop came to the door, tailor-made, and today is good, I will bring it as a gift.

Ye Haihua also came with a gift, beautifully packaged, it is estimated that it was prepared by his mother, and he should not know what it is.

A few people entered the hall, Yun Xiangrong saw Qin Huai sitting at the table drinking tea, and hurriedly saluted, saying, "Master Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

"Good, good, it's all good, I want to Rong, we haven't seen each other for a few years, I didn't expect goodbye to be the capital." Qin Huai said with emotion.

In fact, the second prince explained before that he was not in the capital at the time, and it was a few months later to see Qin Huai's letter that he asked him to customize ear hooks, so he missed it. If Qin Huai still wants to collect clouds and tolerate this apprentice, he is willing to help.

Qin Huai felt that everything was the best arrangement from God, if he really accepted Yun Xiangrong as an apprentice at that time, at this moment, the two royal children were his apprentices, it was too ostentatious, so it was best to miss it.

The second prince doesn't matter anyway, no matter how Yun Xiangrong is, he is already his royal sister.

Ye Haihua stepped forward to meet the master, and Qin Huai said: "Our Haihua has changed so much, it seems to be a lot taller. That day, let the teacher see if your paintings have improved so quickly. ”

Ye Haihua has deep feelings for Qin Huai, and he himself is also a child with delicate feelings, he feels that he has not seen him for a few years, and the master is old again, so he feels very deep in his heart, but he does not show it, but half-jokingly said: "I think my progress is greater than that of my senior brother." ”

"You unlucky boy, come up and stir up trouble, right?" The second prince said with a smile.

A few people laughed and sat at a small table each. This time, the palace prepared the most formal palace banquet, the Nine Lamps Banquet. Yun Xiangrong always thought that he would eat it in the harem, but he didn't expect that the first time he ate it was in the palace of the second prince.

The first and second wines are the ceremony for everyone to congratulate Qin Huai on his longevity and health. After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet was lively.

Next, a few new dishes will be served for each wine, which is also the process of the formal banquet.

The third wine, four dishes: wine and meat, salted soy sauce, heavy meat, and double hump slots.

The fourth wine is served with the following dishes: roasted bones, noodles and white meat cakes.

The fifth wine, please taste: Immortal Burn, Smallpox Cake, Taiping Bi ** Rice, Wisp Meat Soup and Lotus Meat Cake.

The sixth wine was served: fake turtle fish, honey floating crispy flowers.

The seventh wine, served with a side dish: lamb beard cake and braised sausage.

The eighth wine, with the side dishes: fake sand fish, steamed buns and belly soup.

The ninth wine, the staple food: water rice and tufted rice.

Throughout the banquet, as with the dishes, each wine is not only different, but also accompanied by different cultural performances. The content includes acrobatic acrobatics, singing and dancing instrumental music, etc., which is very lively.

The first show was dance.

As a result, after two glasses of wine, several men couldn't sit still, and they gathered together to talk, and they didn't have the intention of appreciating the song and dance at all, but Yun Xiangrong was very energetic.

These dancing girls have obviously undergone special training, and Yun Xiangrong has also seen many performances of dancing girls in Jiangnan, basically to please the audience, or to show themselves to the audience.

But the dancing girls in the palace obviously didn't mean to please anyone, they were intoxicated and enjoyed the atmosphere of the dance, and the whole person was silent in the artistic conception to be expressed in the dance, and the performance was very advanced.

Yun Xiangrong looked very obsessed, and couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically at the end, although she was the only one in the audience.
