On the evening of the third day, a wagon with a canopy slowly stopped in front of the small building gate of Tingfeng. A teenager jumped out of the carriage and looked around with joy on his face.

"Little Lizi, you sister Hua got off the carriage, you are a hand." Qian Jin poked his head out of the carriage and shouted. Xiao Lizi is Li Liang, and this name is due to a court drama that Qian Jin watched in his previous life.

At this moment, Li Liangzheng looked curiously at the pair of chic red lanterns at the door, as well as the two waiters standing at the door, and took Qian Jin's shout as a deaf ear.

A pop suddenly struck him on the back of the head, causing him to grin in pain, so he hurriedly took the horse from the carriage and set it up.

"What do you do if you knock a child stupid?" The silkworm girl said angrily on the side.

Qian Jin scolded with a smile: "Since he calls me brother, I can discipline him." After that, Qian Jin jumped out of the carriage, and then a "princess hug" carried the silkworm girl wearing clogs out of the carriage.

The coachman received the reward and left on his own.

Qian Jin helped Silkworm Niang and Li Liang straighten their clothes, then took out a white scarf from his pocket and handed it to Silkworm Niang, saying, "Sister Hua, wear this." ”

"Why do you need a silk scarf? We're not burglary. Silkworm Niang asked puzzled.

Li Liang teased on the side: "Sister Hua, you are so beautiful today." My brother is afraid that other men will beat you. After saying that, he immediately jumped away and kept a safe distance from Qian Jin.

"Don't look at this kid who is usually dumbfounded, I didn't expect to say something reasonable today. There are also many vassal and elegant people in this scholar, what should I do when I invite wild bees and butterflies? ”

Qian Jin couldn't help but help the silkworm girl put on the scarf, and then made a bending salute, then grabbed her little hand and walked towards the door. Li Liang naturally followed.

Two waiters at the door blocked the way of the three. Qian Jin handed out the invitation, and then led the silkworm girl into the courtyard.

The courtyard looks inconspicuous from the outside, but it is spacious inside, and the corridor is full of lanterns, illuminating the courtyard.

Looking at the rockery pavilions in the courtyard, Qian Jin couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that the owner of this small building is also from Jiangnan?" ”

Just as he was hesitating, a person on the other side came out, and when he got closer, it was Chen Xiong, who had fought with him. Qian Jinzheng wondered why he was here, and Chen Xiong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I don't know if Qian Shi said that he was here, and he missed the distance." ”

"Isn't this bayberry poetry meeting done by you?"

"The money waiter is talking and laughing, the little one is just here to help with chores." Chen Xiong paused for a moment and continued: This ...... In the past, there were many offenses, and I also asked the money waiter to talk about Haihan. ”

"It's easy to say...... Qian Jin didn't feel too relieved about this Chen Xiong, anyway, he didn't suffer a loss in the last lawsuit. However, last time Chen Xiong was slapped dozens of times in Shuntian Mansion, and now this behavior has made great progress, and it is really 'Shibei should be impressed for three days'.

Chen Xiong caught a glimpse of Silkworm Niang and Li Liang, and the look of surprise flashed on his face, and he turned around to lead the way.

After about half a cup of tea, Qian Jin and the three of them followed Chen Xiong to a hall called "Yafeng" in the backyard. When he arrived at the door, Chen Xiong confessed and went to work.

Qian Jin glanced at it and found that this hall was extremely spacious.

Directly above the roof hangs a large Western crystal chandelier, on which no less than forty or fifty candles are lit, reflecting the hall as if it were daytime.

A precious Western Regions blanket was spread in the center of the hall, and at the end of the blanket was a wooden platform, separated from the hall by a beaded curtain.

On both sides of the hall, there are fifty or sixty small mahogany square tables, on which are placed some delicate pastries, bright red bayberry, and some glass wine vessels that are rarely seen.

In the hall, there were already forty or fifty scholars chatting in several piles, and there were a few gorgeous women in the middle. Liao Donglin was impressively in the ranks, and was being surrounded by more than a dozen scholars at the moment talking about something.

Qian Jin led the silkworm girl and the two of them to sit down at a table by the door quietly, and ate a bayberry with a hand, seeing that the taste was not bad, he hurriedly brought the plate to Li Liang behind him. The latter took out a cloth bag that had already been prepared, and swept away the bayberry on the plate and the pastries on the table.

When a scholar saw Qian entering this table, his face showed disdain.

Everyone felt strange and turned their eyes to this side, some were playing, some were whispering about dirt buns, and all kinds of expressions were different. Some of them knew Qian Jin, but when they encountered this embarrassing scene, they just didn't see it.

Liao Donglin saw the three of Qian Jin early, and after frowning slightly, he led the two to Qian Jin.

"Brother Qian, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Brother Liao's demeanor is still the same, such an elegant poetry club actually remembers to invite me, my brother is really grateful."

"My brother's words are a little sour. You must know that this Accord layman's invitation is rare, and I only got four or five. No, the first thing that comes to mind is you, brother. ”

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, but they couldn't seem to find any topics, and the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

At this time, behind Liao Donglin, two scholars came out to give gifts to Qian Jin, one of whom was Wang Fusheng, the third in Guangdong Qiufu, and the other was Sun Gang, the tenth in Guangdong Qiufu. Both of them are fellow villagers of Qian Jin, and this time they both got Tongjin Shi.

Qian Jin returned the salute with a fist and asked, "Two fellow villagers, are there any official vacancies?" ”

Sun Gang replied: "Brother Wang and I have already settled, and we are both serving as county commanders in Liao's Governor's Mansion. ”

Qian Jin nodded, knowing in his heart. He had known Liao Donglin for a while, and knew that he was usually good at drilling camps, so it was estimated that he spent some money to move Sun and Wang to his rule. Although Chen Guo strictly forbade forming a party for personal gain, it is estimated that the two small county orders will not be able to enter the eyes of the officials.

After the two of them said hello, Sun Wang retreated behind Liao Donglin, and glanced at the slim silkworm girl behind Qian Jin imperceptibly.

Liao Donglin had already caught a glimpse of the silkworm girl. Although it always feels a little familiar, but today the silkworm girl wore the newly made dress, and the temperament of the whole person was completely different, and she wore a veil and applied thin powder, and he didn't recognize it for a while.

"This girl is very eye-catching, when did my brother accept it?" Liao Dong said strangely.

"Brother Liao hasn't known me for a day or two, but I don't have a habit of collecting women." Qian Jin said with some displeasure.

At this time, the Fanghua women who were thick with powder saw the skirt on the silkworm girl from a distance, and hurriedly walked out of the crowd of scholars. Looking at their makeup, they should all come from wealthy families.

If this poem is only poetry, it will be much more monotonous. The scholars drank wine and fought poetry, one to show their talents, and the other to win the hearts of beauties. With these two things, the poetry will appear to be alive.

This "Accord layman" obviously knows the truth, so this Yangmei poetry meeting also invited five or six wealthy daughters in the capital. Of course, these daughters are also "the meaning of the daughters is not in the poem, but in the son-in-law".

I saw that the women walked to Qian Jin and said a blessing, looking forward to the brilliance between their eyebrows, they looked at Qian Jin carefully, and finally stared at the skirt on the silkworm girl.

Qian Jin thought that those women would at least talk to him, but he didn't know that compared to that skirt, he was not treated at all, and he doubted his appearance for the first time.

A woman in a green dress asked the silkworm girl, "This sister, where did you buy this dress?" ”

The silkworm lady said a blessing to the women, and then stopped talking. Before she came, she had been instructed by Qian Jin, and after entering this small building, she kept silent, so as not to be recognized by someone with a heart, and then it would cause some unnecessary trouble.

Next to him, Qian Jin coughed and said with a smile: "This girl wants to inquire about the origin of this dress?" Let me tell you the truth, now the entire Chen Kingdom is just like that. ”

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that this skirt was so rare. Some scholars who were still studying poetry and poetry also gathered around, and after a while, twenty or thirty people gathered in front of Qian Jin, all of whom looked at the silkworm girl.

Silkworm Niang has never been watched by so many people. Although Qian Jin has given her some special training in etiquette in the past two days, and her demeanor and temperament have changed a lot, she is still a little nervous at the moment, and she doesn't know where to put her little hands.

Qian Jin grabbed the silkworm girl's little hand and shook it, then got up and said to the woman in the green dress: "This sister, I also met a stranger when I was in Guanhai City, and when I saw that he was dressed in a novelty, I asked him to make such a skirt for my sister. ”

The woman in the green dress said urgently, "Do you know the whereabouts of that stranger?" Even if it costs a lot of money, our sisters will invite him to the capital. ”

Qian Jin saw that her appetite had been lifted, so he smiled and said, "This sister is not in a hurry, I have been in correspondence with that stranger. That stranger actually intends to open a tailoring workshop in the capital, and I estimate that he will come to the capital in less than two months. Sister, please bear with me. ”

At this time, a loud voice sounded: "When did the new champion of the dignified new department be so interested in the clothes of these daughters' families, it was really in vain to read the book of sages." ”
