Chapter 404: The Living Room of the Beatitudes
Manhua has traveled from the modern era, where she has learned some talents. When she came to Daqing, she was a talented woman.
Also, Manhua is familiar with the poems of Dream of Red Mansions, and she likes Lin Daiyu's handwritten poems the most. So, here in the Qing Dynasty, when I met her to chant poetry, she casually chanted one or two paragraphs, which also shocked the entire capital.
After the eighth elder brother and Manhua got married, although Kangxi rewarded the mansion, they worked in the Forbidden City and lived in the original elder brother's premises in the Forbidden City.
Kangxi's prince and princess like to come to the place where the eighth elder brother and Manhua play.
Manhua arranged the living room of their place very elegantly, which can be said to be full of the atmosphere of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Manhua also prepared delicious snacks and a variety of fragrant teas, and even foreign red wine and coffee were stored to entertain these distinguished guests.
Those sons and daughters of the Eight Masters Party like the living room of Manhua and Eighth Elder Brother, and the Ninth Elder Brother, Tenth Elder Brother, and Fourteenth Elder Brother come here to chat, laugh and drink tea if they are fine. Even the sworn enemies of the Eighth Master Party, the princelings and the Fourth Master Party, also like to come to the living room of the Eighth Elder Brother and Manhua to sit idly.
As the hostess, Manhua entertains guests from all walks of life, so the living room of the eighth elder brother and Manhua is very famous in the Forbidden City.
Manhua's concubines were very unconvinced when they saw Manhua's popularity, after all, they were both royal daughters-in-law, but they didn't have Manhua's appeal. Jealous, they said behind their backs that the living room of Manhua and the eighth elder brother was "the living room of the Eight Blessings", and then they also spread gossip, saying that those elder brothers in the Forbidden City all fell under Manhua's pomegranate skirt, and Manhua told them to go to the left, and definitely not to the right.
Kangxi couldn't help laughing when he heard the gossip about the Eighth Elder Brother and Manhua's living room, and sometimes he was also a guest in the "Bafujin's living room". He likes to go there and laugh with the princes and princesses, and find it enjoyable. I also had some food and drink by the way, and then looked at some famous paintings. Otherwise, it's very fun to listen to those talented brothers and princesses play a few songs.
Kangxi was not angry, but Manhua felt a little unhappy. She felt that those concubines named her and Eighth Brother's living room "Bafujin's Living Room", which was jealous of her, very sour! But the emperor's daughter-in-law is really embarrassed to blame them.
Eight Elder Brother's subordinates went to Shanxi to do business and brought some old vinegar from Shanxi.
Manhua received the aged vinegar, asked her slaves and maids to fill it with aged vinegar in small jars, and sent a jar of Shanxi aged vinegar to each of her concubines.
Manhua's concubines received the vinegar and understood what Manhua meant, and it was not easy to attack.
Manhua sent Shanxi vinegar to the concubines, implying that the concubines were jealous of her.
Those elder brothers' concubines were embarrassed to receive such a gift. So, drink vinegar in the house, after all, these are excellent Shanxi aged vinegar, don't drink it for nothing!
The living room of "Bafujin's Living Room" is becoming more and more famous, and Manhua can call it whatever they want, anyway, they are popular, they are justifiably popular, not their own boasting!
Originally, the title "the living room of the Beatitudes" was used to belittle Manhua. However, as this living room becomes more and more popular, the title of "the living room of the Beatitudes" has actually become a compliment!
Often in the Forbidden City, I heard those elder brothers and princesses say: "Let's go, let's go to the living room of the Beatitudes and sit down!" ”
"Okay, Bafujin will go back early today, I guess I have made fragrant tea, go have a cup!"
"Let's go, let's have a cup of fragrant tea......"
