005. Qing Dance

Rong Yu strode out of the Forbidden City, he was on duty today, and when he left, he was entangled again, wanting to know Qing'er through him. In the three or four months since Qing'er returned to Beijing, she has almost rejected the gentlemen all over the city, but these ordinary and good-looking nobles have abandoned their faces at this time.

Rong Yu is usually very popular, and he is quite righteous, so he can't talk about much closeness with the nobles, but he also has some contacts. He and Amma are people who have been won over by various forces, and they have always been attracted by people. Now that his grandfather, Hu Zhongzheng, who is the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, has come to the capital again, he is more and more disturbed by everyone. People didn't dare to do anything about the shrewd Hu Zhongzheng, for fear that there would be no room for turning around when things were stiff, so they made up their minds on Hu Qing.

Rong Yu knew Qing'er's shrewdness and knew that he would not go to the appointment.

Since the first month since he came back, Qing'er has gone out with him a few times, and in the following months, I don't know what I'm busy with, and it's rare to see him again.

Rong Yu raised his hand to look at the few invitations he was holding, and decided to send them to Hu Mansion first.

After entering the Hu Mansion, he was surprised to see that the sun and the moon were there, and Qing'er's two close attendants were there, so Qing'er must be in the mansion, Rong Yu was in a good mood, and walked a few steps into the hall.

Hu Zhongzheng and Qin Heming sat on one side of the hall, talking and laughing in a low voice, Qing'er was lying on the table on the other side and writing something, and Rong Yu went over to greet the two.

Hu Zhongzheng looked at Rong Yu, then at the invitation card he was holding in his hand, and said with a smile: "Qing'er is going to invite them back soon, you don't have to be embarrassed anymore!" ”

"Really? Qing'er wants to invite them back? Rong Yu was a little stunned.

Hu Zhongzheng nodded, glanced sideways at Qing'er again, and then turned back to look at Qin Heming, two wordless smiles.

Rong Yu looked at the two of them puzzled, and then walked towards Qing'er. Qing'er was wearing a dark green robe, with a black leather belt three or four fingers wide on her waist, black boots, a small black melon skin hat with a piece of turquoise jade embedded in it, and a braid hanging black on her waist, writing invitations on the desk. Rong Yu walked to the table with light steps, picked up an invitation card, and saw that it was an invitation to watch the new clothes exhibition, Rong Yu did not say anything, looked down and saw Qing'er writing, Qing'er wrote in thin gold font, the words are written beautifully and stylishly, and I am usually used to seeing italics.

Qing'er put down the pen, raised her head and saw Rong Yu, pointed to the stool next to the table and said, "Brother is here, sit down first, I still have a few copies to finish writing." ”

Rong Yu sat down sideways, picked up the list and looked, in addition to the Jing nobles, there were also elder brothers, from the eldest elder brother to the fourteenth elder brother, except for the crown prince, many of them were all on it. Rong Yu smiled secretly: This Qing'er is really a businessman, I think I want to catch them all, and I usually hide from people who don't see me, this will be invited all over again!

Qing'er put down the pen, took the handkerchief in the maid's hand and wiped her hands, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, before saying: "I haven't written this font for a long time, but I'm really tired of writing so much today." He smiled.

"Qing'er, don't you usually write this font? It's so well written, I thought you were always writing, and I've rarely seen anyone write this font so beautifully! ”

"No, I don't usually write this, my master writes this font." Qing'er was talking about Chen Ziang, and it was expected that Rong Yu didn't know who his master was, so he didn't say anything anymore and got closer to see his brother writing.

Rong Yu took the pen and dipped it in ink, thought for a while, and wrote a few thin gold characters on the paper: Qing Wu Feiyang.

Hu Qing took the pen and added the word 'Hu' in front of the word 'Qing', raised his head, and looked at his brother who only smiled leisurely without saying a word, and Rong Yu also smiled leisurely. Both of them put down their pens and stopped writing, and picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

"Brother, I'll give you these invitations from my brothers!" Hu Qing said to Rong Yu while holding the lid of the bowl and plucking the tea.

"Good! No problem. Rong Yu said with a big grin.

Three days ago, the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital received a special invitation letter one after another.

It is said that it is special because it comes with a gold card with the invitation: about half a centimeter thick, the size of half a hand, and a circle of rubies is inlaid on the card, and in the middle of the gem is the three words "Feather Coat" with a thin gold body. With such a gold card in his hand, anyone will sigh: What a big deal!

The invitation was sent to the Beijing nobles have long been familiar with the Yu Yi Pavilion shopkeeper Shui Lady, she respectfully explained to the Jing nobles: "Our young master sincerely invites you to come to the Yu Yi Pavilion to watch the clothing conference, this card is a little bit of our young master's heart, in addition to taking this card to the Yu Yi Pavilion to buy clothes can also enjoy discounts." ”

The Beijing nobles know that the 'Feather Pavilion' is the business of Hu Zhongzheng, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty, and when they hear the young master mentioned in the mouth of the water lady, they know that it is famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, that is, Hu Qing, who is known as the "little God of Wealth" and the title of "prodigy", everyone has already had the intention of making friends with him, but after this Hu Qing came to the capital, he did not see the head and tail, and all the invitations were politely declined. This time, he took the initiative to invite the Beijing nobles to watch the new clothes exhibition, and the Beijing nobles naturally would not give up this rare opportunity. Although everyone has different ideas, they have the same purpose, and they all want to take this opportunity to make friends with this young man with dual talents (wealth).

Three days later, in the afternoon, the nobles arrived at the Yuyi Pavilion one after another. After that, the water lady waved her hand very naturally: The 'new clothes exhibition' begins.

At this time, a group of women held candles on the stage, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the stage. The back of the stage is covered by a veil, at this time the melody of "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" sounded leisurely behind the scenes, a group of girls wearing white veils or bright or elegant Han costumes slowly stepped onto the stage with the sound of the piano, they were walking the same kind of steps, walking very slowly with the rhythm of the music, but every step was stretched to the extreme, giving people the feeling of elegance, a temperament, a beauty, and a style. At the end of the music, the stage was filled with girls dressed in various Han costumes.

With the sound of the piano changing again and again, or soothing or warm or low, the clothing has also changed from Han costume to two series of flag costumes in autumn and winter, which are different from the previous flag costumes are more able to show the woman's figure. The color of the clothes is elegant, bright or bright, and the style is simple or luxurious or atmospheric. Compared with the usual flags, the waist, sleeves, skirts, and placket have been changed, and there are those inlaid with animal fur, some with pearls, some with crystals, some embroidered with gold thread, and some with silver wire, many, many types, and many styles. Blinded everyone's eyes.

The girls slowly stepped onto the stage, turned around lightly, and danced with their sleeves. Gentleness, pity, heartache, sweetness, sadness, longing, anticipation, several feelings and musical melodies, intoxicated everyone's minds.

At the end of the performance, Hu Qing walked out from behind the scenes, saluted everyone in the audience with both hands and fists, and then walked off the stage. Aunt Shui led the women who had just performed to the front of the Beijing family and asked them to choose their favorite clothes and accessories at close range.

The family members of Jinggui sat at the table closer to the stage, and the Jinggui sat at the table a little farther away from the stage.

The handsome and elegant man on the back table attracted everyone's attention the most, and Hu Qing had already seen his brother in it. From some boudoirs to their attention and other men to their courtesy. Hu Qing knew the identity of these people's elder brothers.

The information received by Hu Qing shows that the eldest brother Zhijun Wang Yinchu was 28 years old, and when Kangxi personally conquered Geldan in the 29th year, the eldest elder brother, who was only 18 years old, was appointed as the deputy general of the general Fuquan and participated in commanding the war. Because he is older, he has the most things to share for Kangxi among the elder brothers, and his mother is Kangxi's favorite concubine Huifei. The second elder brother Yinren is twenty-six years old, his mother is the late Empress Xiaochengren, and his mother is expensive by virtue of her son, and she became the prince when she was one year old, and she is Kangxi's most beloved son.

Nineteen years old, he has been intelligent since childhood, and he is very sophisticated, kind and easy-going. His mother was born in Xin Zheku, and she was the lowest born among all the harem concubines, so she was raised by Concubine Hui, the mother of the eldest brother, since she was a child, and she was close to the eldest brother and deeply loved by Prince Yu Fuquan.

The tenth elder brother Yin'ao is two months younger than the ninth elder brother, and his grandfather is one of the four famous ministers in Kangxi's early years.

The invitation was sent, and all the elder brothers came without pulling it.

Qing'er greeted people all the way and walked all the way to Brother's table.

Before he got closer, he was pulled closer by Rong Yu and introduced them one by one: "Qing'er, this is the eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, the eighth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the twelfth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother." Then he turned to the elder brothers and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Rong Yu's younger brother. ”

Hu Qing generously hugged his fists and saluted, "Hu Qing has seen all the elder brothers!" Poor hospitality, forgive me, brothers! ”

Ever since he appeared on the stage, his eyes have been following him, and no one expected that Hu Qing would be such a handsome and delicate child, far younger than they imagined. Dressed in a jujube red muslin robe, only a circle of white lamb's wool is inlaid on the cuffs and neckline, black trousers, black leather boots, black leather belt, and a piece of mutton fat jade embedded in the middle of a black melon skin hat. The complexion is pink and delicate, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and the phoenix eyes are black and clear.

The brothers couldn't help but secretly cheer in their hearts: What a smart and atmospheric child!
