Chapter 50: Congratulatory Gifts
When the moonlight was in the sky, five servants walked in from outside the door, these servants all lowered their eyes and etiquette were regular, and their bodies were clean and tidy.
"Yunfu congratulates Xie Er Gongzi for winning the first place, and he will give a piece of Ming Mo from the distant mountains and a splendid Ming Map."
The older one at the head took a step forward and bowed to speak.
"This is Yun Ling, the great butler of the Cloud Mansion......"
"It's really the Yun family......"
……
Someone in the crowd whispered to each other, Yun Ling followed Yun Shuzhen all year round, and it was common for him to be recognized.
Yunfu personally sent someone to celebrate his high school? Xie Peifeng was a little stunned, although he was the champion, he didn't see any movement in Yunfu every year in the academic examination, and besides, the position of the Imperial History Observatory supervising the imperial history had no chance to deal with the Taishi Master at all, and he might not be able to be like Mu Qian, relying on the opportunity to be reused by the monarch.
However, Xie Tunan calmly took two steps forward and bowed his hand.
"Thank you for the ...... of Tunan's brother"
Xie Tunan paused intentionally, and Manager Ling immediately gave up.
"The old slave is here on behalf of Yunfu."
"Thank you, Yunfu."
Yunfu? Is this a gift from the Grand Master, or who? This Chief Manager Ling spoke without leaking, obviously not wanting to say who was the courtesy, but it was also a big deal that Yun Mansion could publicly congratulate him.
"Splendid Mingtu? Is it the one painted by Master Haotian Quan? ”
Among the guests, there were many talented people who were familiar with paintings, and their eyes lit up when they heard the splendid map.
"Exactly."
Manager Ling responded indifferently, as if it was just a trivial matter, he turned sideways and ordered the servants to put away the congratulatory gifts, and then said goodbye and left.
Knowing that the Yun family's congratulatory gift was a splendid map, Hongxian Fang was quiet for a while, leaving only the sound of pipa and bamboo on the stage to be particularly loud, and some guests who didn't know much about calligraphy and painting looked left and right when they saw the sudden change in atmosphere.
"Master Langquan's splendid map, that is a peerless treasure, the Yun family actually made this a congratulatory gift......"
While the crowd was whispering, two more men walked in from outside.
"Am I missing something?"
Mu Qian was wearing a purple gilt robe and tied his hair with a silver hairpin, at first glance, he looked like a talented person, and as soon as he came in, he asked Xie Tunan with a smile.
"Lord Muslim, you've finally arrived."
Xie Tunan walked up to Mu Qian and gave his hand.
"I asked your carriage to go around to pick up someone, you shouldn't mind."
Mu Qian said sideways.
"Lord Mu laughed."
Xie Tu Nan looked behind Mu Qian.
"Mr. Xiang Nian?"
Xiang Nian walked out in response, and he held a delicate wood carved box and spoke loudly.
"Xie Ergongzi is a brilliant learner, and the Toad Palace deserves its name, and Ruyun Inn will send a congratulatory gift."
Ruyun Inn? Only then did people remember that the first and second places in the list this time were all selected by the Wenhua meeting, and even the rankings did not change.
Xiang Nian watched the people around him discuss more enthusiastically because of his words, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, Miss's trick is really wonderful, it not only gives a gift to the face, but also makes the status of Ruyun Inn and Wenhua Club in the royal capital more stable.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang Nian."
Xie Peifeng saw that he was busy giving gifts to himself, he was a scholar, and he had a good impression of Xiang Nian, who was also a literati, and he was unconsciously a little kind.
"Please Mr. Xiang Nian, thank Yun Niang for me."
Xie Peifeng stepped forward to take the box in Xiang Nian's hand, and Xiang Nian's long body stood tall and his sleeves were folded.
"In the next generation, I came to Ruyun Inn, and this gift is also the gift of Ruyun Inn."
Xie Tunan heard this, and suddenly felt that this sentence was somewhat inexplicably similar to Yunfu.
"Thank you for bringing me with me today."
Xiang Nian turned around and gave up his hand, and Mu Qian waved his sleeves casually.
"It's a little thing."
Xie Tunan watched the interaction between the two extremely natural, looking very familiar, and he just wanted to invite the two to the table.
"Muslim!"
A voice came, and Mo Chenxing stood up from the seat with a glass of wine.
"I saw you in a hurry last time, but I didn't expect to see you again today!"
Mo Chenxing is the chief of the Hongzhen Chamber of Commerce, even if he is not in the official career, he doesn't need to look at anyone's face, it is rumored that he has always liked eccentricity, his temperament is uncertain, and he is ruthless in business, but he says that he disdains the fight in officialdom the most, and when he says this today, it seems that he knows the Mu people?
"Don't come to the big thing, today is a big joy, I naturally want to come to join in the fun."
Mu Qian laughed.
"It's all here, let's have a drink." The servant sent the cup and passed by Mo Chenxing, Mo Chenxing stopped him and took the cup, poured it full of wine himself, and then stepped forward and handed it to Mu Qian, Mu Qian did not shirk it, raised his hand and drank it all.
"Refreshing!" Mo Chenxing also raised his head and drank the wine in his cup. "Anyway, Master Mu is so familiar with Ruyun Inn, I don't know if you can introduce me to one or two."
Mo Chenxing became interested in Ruyun Inn? Xie Tunan frowned slightly, Xiang Nian looked indifferent, there have been many ideas about Ruyun Inn in recent years, and this one is not bad.
It stands to reason that if it is an ordinary person, even if it is not good, there will be three points of leeway, but Mu Qian waved his hand again and again.
"I'm familiar, but I lived in Ruyun Inn for two days before, and I can just say a few words to Yun Niang, not to talk about it......"
Speaking of this, the meaning of refusal was already obvious, Mo Chenxing didn't bother much and immediately changed the topic, he walked to the position with Mu Qian while smiling, Xie Tunan also asked Xiang Nian to stay and eat and drink together, Xiang Nian thought that he was here, and it was okay to go back, so it was better to join in the excitement, so he simply stayed.
Xie Peifeng's congratulatory banquet continued to be held, and everyone in Hongxian Fang also performed their duties, laughter, dance, and music were mixed together, and I don't know if it was because the road was narrow, but the pear was seen by Xie Qingqing who was passing by from a distance.
"Yiqiu, it was that person who drove me out of Hongxian Fang that day, it's really unlucky."
Xie Qingqing pointed to the pear who was making arrangements for a few slaves and said, Song Yiqiu glanced in the direction she was pointing, her appearance was not bad, but her appearance alone would not make the Xie family care so much, would there be something strange in it?
She rolled her eyes and had a plan.
"Qingqing, you are back here today, no matter how proud Hongxian Fang is, today is also the venue of Xie Mansion, and others are not allowed to be presumptuous, right?"
Song Yiqiu said vaguely, Xie Qingqing didn't understand what she meant, and looked puzzled.
"I mean, if someone makes a mistake, like breaking a vase, it's right to teach it a lesson."
Song Yiqiu pointed to the hollow vase beside Li'er and said.
"Yiqiu, you're so smart!"
Xie Qingqing was angry when she thought of the humiliation she had suffered that day.
"Qingqing, I just saw that my second brother seemed to be calling me, let me go."
At this time, you can't be with Xie Qingqing, so as not to ruin your reputation, Song Yiqiu, Song Yiqiu already understands what she means, according to Xie Qingqing's temperament, she will definitely do what she says, and she is busy looking for an opportunity to leave.
"Okay."
Xie Qingqing was gearing up, where did she know what her good sister was thinking, she just wanted to step forward.
"Qingqing."
Xie Qingqing turned her head and saw Xie Tunan standing behind her.
"Big brother?"
Xie Qingqing suddenly felt a little weak.
"What are you doing?"
Xie Tunan asked.
"I ......"
"Go back."
Xie Tunan's voice was a little stern, and Xie Qingqing lowered his head.
"Yes."
The eldest brother spoke, Xie Qingqing naturally didn't dare to do anything more, Xie Tunan waited until Xie Qingqing sat down in his position before turning back, Song Yiqiu, who was talking and laughing with Song Buxin in a low voice, suddenly felt like someone was staring at her back and had a chill.
