Because of the cold winter, even noble relatives mostly like to nest in their own rooms and rarely gather and walk around. Therefore, autumn is the most frequent day of the year for the nobles to feast and drink, as if it is the last carnival before the cat winter.

Autumn in the capital is also a very beautiful day of the year. The golden armor of the city is full of vermilion buildings and emerald glazed tiles in the capital, and the osmanthus is fragrant, which is a stable atmosphere of the prosperous era.

But if you say that the happiest person these days is not a merchant who sells osmanthus or crabs, but a paper seller. In the past, the sprinkled gold paper at the bottom of the box was sprinkled with gold, and when he met a wealthy owner, he didn't pay back the price, so he wrapped it all. Even Xue Tao's note and cedar note also made this wronged boss sell short in one go, but made several shops selling high-quality stationery in the entire capital make a lot of money.

And this big injustice is Ji Nong.

After Chongyang, Ji Nong had already moved out of the palace and lived in his own mansion of the eldest princess of Shining, which can be regarded as an independent mansion and a gateway of its own. The beauty and luxury of the eldest princess's mansion made Ji Nong's jaw drop when he first saw it, that is, he had turned around a lot of high-gate courtyards in his own world, and he had also seen the profound Guangling Mansion when he first came, which could not be compared with this mansion.

At this time, in the back garden of the mansion, Ji Nong was lying on the jasper couch sent by the emperor the day before yesterday, with a pair of plain hands on his chin, and a pair of eyes with a light that seemed to be smiling.

"Your Highness, please raise your head a little more." Pei Lun looked up at Ji Nong for a while, ignoring her eyes, and his expression was quite serious.

"Master Pei, this palace is asking you to write me an invitation. No, you're so interested. Ji Nong shook his head, and said to Chaowu again, "Listen to what you mean, the Ministry of Industry has made a high outrageous statement, and it really treats this palace as a big wrong?" ”

"Who doesn't know that the eldest princess of Shining is now the most luxurious household in Beijing, and the Ministry of Industry is just doing what you like." Pei Lun listened to the words of the two, but interjected with a low smile, "However, the roof of this bathroom is poured with all glass, and it is also a loss for them to think of it." ”

"Yes, my father's palace is still just a four-sided glass window, and he was scolded by the imperial history for half a year. If this palace really does this, they have to force me to become a monk and cultivate. Ji Nong sneered, "But Master Pei, you are a fairy figure, don't get involved in the copper stench of our layman." ”

Pei Lun smiled low again when he heard this, and looked at Ji Nong, but stopped writing and only looked at the girl in front of him. Although she is widowed, she is actually not in the prime of life, and now in the garden of the mansion, she is wearing a moon-white skirt, lined with a lake blue shirt, and her long hair is tied up with a jewel hairpin of the same color, without powder. The appearance of the plain face is getting younger and younger, and she is a little less charming in the plain day, but it makes people hate to hold her in the palm of their hands.

"Haven't painted this painting yet?" Ji Nong sighed, changed his posture again, and saw Pei Lun shaking his head, so he went to talk to Chaowu again, "According to the meaning of the palace, it is still pragmatic to repair Zhuangzi, I think I will go to Zhuangzi this winter, so it should be repaired quickly." It is not necessary to carve beams and paint buildings, it is better to choose plain layout, which is also convenient for repairing again in the future. If you want to use the glass, you can use it to make a few windows. The garden in the garden doesn't have to be like our house, it has to be full of flowers all year round. Since it is winter, I will plant some green calyx plums to create a scenery of enjoying the snow. ”

"Then lead an open-air spring, surround it on three sides, hollow out the wall, make a fire channel inside, and support it with yellow rosewood outside, which can enjoy the snow and soak in the soup, which is even more elegant."

"Master Pei said this well, you can also remember it." After Ji Nong heard Pei Lun finish speaking, he gave him a sincere smile, "Sure enough, he is a member of the family, and his elegant mind is also so chic." ”

"Your Highness is upright, so I can tell the minister to finish the painting quickly, so that I can go back to the palace on a mission." Pei Lun ignored her, and then wrote calmly again, "I can also help you write an invitation soon." ”

"Master Pei, why don't you help me take a closer look, who should I invite to this chrysanthemum banquet." Chaowu saw that the two of them were talking about the banquet, so he asked the government to take the article that had just made the Zhuangzi to discuss, and sat aside again, arranging the arrangement of the chrysanthemum feast, "Especially..."

"For example, my Pei family, every year, each room takes turns to host the Four Seasons banquet. If the big room presides over the spring feast, then the second and third rooms will preside over the summer feast and the autumn feast. This rule was passed down by my grandmother's generation, and it is said that since then, there has been a lot of harmony between the concubines. Pei Lun looked at Ji Nong's puzzled eyes, and then smiled, and his tone was quite gentle, "The autumn banquet in the East Palace has not yet been held, although the banquet in the East Palace is not in the Inner Palace, it is the imperial city after all, and the guests are also quite depressed. It is the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the scenery is pleasant, and the regulations are not inferior to the East Palace, which is not a good place. Why doesn't Your Highness preside with your brother? ”

"That way, I don't have to bother with the men." Ji Nong smiled when he heard this, but he collapsed again in an instant, "But, what about the crown princess?" The host of the banquet in the East Palace is not the crown prince, but the crown princess. How can I bypass her and go to the banquet with the prince? This is the so-called widow's right and wrong. ”

"Why bother to be presumptuous, this is to let His Highness make his own decision." Pei Lun looked at Ji Nong and frowned, he was extremely disgusted with her calling herself a widow for no reason, and the tone behind him was solemn, "The minister's painting is finished, and he will go back to the East Palace and Jinshang to restore his life, if His Royal Highness has something to say, the minister is extremely happy." ”

"Let me think about it for a moment." Ji Nong waved his hand, and Chao Wu immediately stepped forward to straighten her, and only then did Ji Nong stand up, then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I figured it out." ”

"Why do you want to hold a chrysanthemum feast? Behold what flowers and trees are most abundant in my garden? Ji Nong showed a sly smile, and his water sleeves shook and swept around.

"Dangui, pine and cypress." Pei Lun followed her movements and looked at the garden, only to realize that this burst of aroma, sweet and greasy, with a hint of bitterness, was the taste of the flowers and trees in the garden.

"That's it. Shall I have an elegant gathering? The woman is wearing Dangui, and the man is folding the pine and cypress. Don't be sad about the spring and autumn, just meet friends with words, and you can also carry the Tao. ”

"The collection of books in the East Palace and the collection of calligraphy and paintings in Guangling can be taken out for the participants to enjoy. Both men and women can be on the same stage, only by talent. In this way, it is not a banquet for the lady, but a grand event in Beijing. ”

"Such a feast, the royal organization, is the most convincing. There is no need to talk about the host of the feast, but only to call me and my brother hosts. Men should be honored as princes, and women are the most honorable, so my brother and sister are the most suitable. ”

Pei Lun looked at Ji Nong, her eyes seemed to light up when she spoke, which made him fascinated in an instant, and the corners of his lips unconsciously hooked up a smile.

"Your Royal Highness wants the world to know that the East Palace is not a place where talented people can step into it at will, but the Eldest Princess's Mansion will open the door to them at any time."

"Pei Lang, you, you are heavy-minded. It's just that I can't afford to run the banquet myself, so I have to ask my mother's brother to help, you have these reasons, and I don't listen to them. Ji Nong shook his head, so Pei Lun saw a little cuteness, so he also smiled, and gave her a look, even saying that it was not, so that Chao Wu, who had a serious face on the side, laughed out loud.

"In that case, I will enter the palace with you. In order to show solemnity, I need to ask my father to add a colorful head. Ji Nong's eyes rolled, he smiled again, and then said, "Since his old man gave me a jade couch to enjoy, he also has to give a big gift to the world's talents." Otherwise, I'll have to ask those Yushi to scold them again, I'm really afraid of them. ”

"Your Highness is afraid of what they do. Who said that you are not, the minister replied to them for you, and Ann can make you unhappy. Pei Lun said this sentence almost without thinking, and before the words came out, he felt ambiguous, and his heart was shocked, but he saw that Ji Nong had already walked away with Chao Wu's hand, leaving only a blue back, walking through the exquisite garden.
