According to Yijing's speculation, I am afraid that the mastermind behind this is not among Qin Sanniang and Jin Liuniang.

If the truth is not clarified, it will be difficult for both Qin Sanniang and Jin Liuniang to clear their suspicions, but this truth is really difficult to determine.

There are not only two people who are suspicious, the palace maid who is accompanying in the attic can do it without being seen or heard.

This matter is clearly an arrangement of the queen's mother, but the purpose is not to plant a trap.

Huang Wuniang was really lucky, the first to put down the pen, so he was not implicated, if Qin Sanniang was the first to come out of the cabinet, then the person who disputed with Jin Liuniang must be Huang Wuniang.

Thinking about it, the queen is very sure that Jin Liuniang will not be the first person to leave the cabinet.

First, because Jin Liuniang's painting art is not as good as the other two, and secondly, even if Jin Liuniang plays extraordinarily that day, the queen will find a way to delay her, as long as she is not the first to come out, it doesn't matter if she is the last one.

Among the three little ladies, only Jin Liuniang was born noble, and her temperament made her a little domineering, and Jin Liuniang was still famous for her sharp teeth.

Whether it is Huang Wuniang or Qin Sanniang, if you dispute with her, you will inevitably fall behind.

And in order to clear her name, Jin Liuniang will certainly not show mercy.

The queen's purpose is to let Jin Liuniang's domineering and spicy show off and attract people's attention, so that she has an excuse to deny her qualification to become the princess on the grounds that Jin Liuniang is not virtuous and gentle enough.

The Queen Mother has always been disgusted with spicy and domineering women.

Of course, what happened later, but the Queen Mother secretly cooperated, deliberately letting Qin Sanniang come out first, and then forcing Jin Liuniang to cry.

In any case, crying and crying at the palace banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a loss of etiquette, and a woman who doesn't even understand this rule is certainly not suitable for the princess. What's more, there are still those rumors that Jin Liuniang "cried" the Queen Mother.

No one would have paid attention to who had ruined the painting.

Yi Jing figured out the trick, and he was even more sure that the saint had made up his mind to deal with the Jin clan.

And Huang Jiangyue didn't seem to want to mention it more: "Ah Jing, seeing that you are fine, I am also relieved, I have no choice but to go out for a trip, you have to accompany me for a few rounds...... Speaking of this, I remembered a thing, last time I was against Yu Erlang, an oversight, he won, I was very unconvinced, why don't I invite him to come, let me out of this bad breath. Jiang Yue looked interested.

When Yi Jing heard Yu Zhou's name, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's really a coincidence that you came today...... I told my grandmother earlier, and I was going to go to Shumei Lou in a while, but I was afraid that by this time, the car was ready. ”

Before the eldest princess's birthday, she intended to let Yijing be familiar with the housework, Su Lian took responsibility again, she was in charge of the rich "dowry", so she asked Yijing to pick a shop and learn to take care of things, Yijing only went to Shumei Building, and also liked the elegant style there, and she also knew a little about tea art, so she chose that place, so these days, the income and expenditure and miscellaneous affairs of Shumei Building have been handed over to Yijing, for this reason, Yijing also has many opportunities to go out.

Today, she made an appointment to meet Du Yuniang in Shumei Building, and she must not miss the appointment.

Of course, Huang Jiangyue was disappointed: "You girl, you are too unrighteous, I have worked tirelessly to see you, and you can't bear to abandon me." ”

In the current situation, it is not easy for Huang Jiangyue to visit the Weiguo Mansion, so naturally he can't show his head in the market.

"I'll be back before noon, Ah Yue, don't worry." Yijing had to laugh with him, and agreed to give Huang Jiangyue a picture album that he had coveted for a long time, Jiang Yue turned her anger into joy, waved her hand and let go of Yijing, she was anti-guest-oriented, and while drawing a collection of lyrics and songs, she ordered Dongyu to serve refreshments.

Because the marriage between Su Lian and Jia Wenxiang has been decided, the woman to be married can't travel as freely as before, Yijing went to Shumei Building this time, in addition to taking Qiuyue and Xia Ke, and Mama Yang to accompany her, of course, there are few little guards, there is some mighty momentum, along the way, it has also attracted the attention of many people.

There were even some idle and boring gentlemen, who followed the horse all the way, just to see the beautiful face of the noble girl, but unfortunately, all they saw was a slender back and a hat that blocked the girl's face tightly.

As a tea room, Shumei Building will not open until noon, but at this time, it does not accept foreign guests, and the gentlemen whistle in annoyance, watching the beautiful woman enter, the door is closed, and the foot sighs.

Yijing ignored these disturbances, and when he entered the courtyard through the corner gate of the backyard, he took off his hat and handed it to Qiuyue on the side.

The shopkeeper bent down and stepped forward respectfully, saluted with a smile on his face, and raised his arm to let Xia Ke reward the silver.

Since she "took over" Shumei Building, and doubled the income of the store in the first month, Su Lian praised it, her appreciation was not just verbal, but very heroic implementation, one-third of the profits, without hesitation to Yijing, so that Yijing's small treasury was suddenly abundant, the pressure was greatly reduced, and the shot was also generous.

In addition, she was going to meet Du Yuniang in the store, so in order not to let the shopkeeper "talk too much", she naturally had to give him some oil and water.

As you walk inside, you can enjoy the view of the garden.

Although the area of this courtyard is not too large, but also planted with exotic flowers and plants, and arranged with lake stone root carvings, winding water flows, particularly elegant and quiet, the courtyard is roughly equipped with seven or eight private rooms, for the guests to be undisturbed by the demand.

The beautiful view enters a room in the west corner, sitting under the window, outside the window, a silver cinnamon tree stands, between the deep blue branches, covered with a snow shadow of the fragrant fei, in the west wind, exuding a fragrant sweet fragrance.

Yi Jing first asked about the recent income, and casually flipped through the account books presented by the shopkeeper.

When I heard that during this month, there were even many times when the seats were full, just like today, the seven or eight private rooms in the backyard had been all set in advance three days ago, and the beautiful scenery couldn't help but smile lightly.

In fact, she took over Shumei Building, but she only did two things.

Of course, the guests of the teahouse are not for the peddlers, pawns, or sitting, they are nothing more than literati and elegant guests, or aristocratic and wealthy businessmen, or sitting and drinking tea with one or two confidants, or holding some poetry and chess battles, in short, they are all people who like elegance.

In the Shumei Building, there are many kinds of famous tea, this, it is no different from other tea houses, the beautiful scenery is ingenious, three landscapes are painted, endowed with poems, let people embroider into a brocade screen, present in the foyer on the first floor, these three poems and paintings are one for the West Lake reflecting the moon, one is the smoke wave of Dongting, one is the waterfall of Lushan Mountain, whether it is a painting or a poem, it is a rare masterpiece.

It attracted a lot of elegant guests to stop, appreciation, yearning, unconsciously raised their feet to the inside, or Longjing, or Biluochun, or clouds, you have to light a pot, sit for a while.

It didn't take long for the "argument" that the three famous teas of Shumei Lou were more mellow than those elsewhere spread among the literati and scholars.

The results of this initiative once again triggered the inspiration of the beautiful scene, and secretly thought, it seems that he did not expect badly, most of the people who like to taste tea in the teahouse, most of them have a love for the landscape, and the poetry is elegant, so they have another plan.

Shumei Building is adjacent to Yihe Street, a total of three floors, at the beginning of the positioning is to be "elegant and quiet", so there is no sitting, but a screen into a relatively independent compartment, each compartment is a window, you can enjoy the scenery of the streamer river.

With such a positioning, the first floor is inevitably too noisy because of the downtown area, and it is not suitable for hospitality.

Therefore, Su Lian made a decision at that time, and only one of the rooms on the first floor was left as a welcoming foyer, and a hall leading to the back room, and the left and right sides were partitioned and rented to other merchants.

Yijing felt that the first floor was a bit wasteful.

So he figured out a method, prepared a blank scroll, provided the guests with poems to write, and then hung on the side wall of the foyer, for people to evaluate, when the following people and ink writers, most of them like to "show" the literary style, in order to win a fame, Shumei Lou this policy came out, it attracted many scribes, and even some boudoir nobles, also admired to come, evaluation of good words, of course, there are some pretentious poems, attracted many people "criticism", only feel that their talent is better.

The rules were also set, on the third day of the end of the month, all the guests who came to Shumei Lou could vote for what they liked, and after counting the votes, the top three poems could be left on the "list" next month, and the other poems were all taken off and replaced with new works.

Although there was no real reward, the scribes were in high spirits, and on the three days of voting, they were simply full, with a crowd of guests, and some even started a game of gambling about which poem would win the first prize.

"Wu Niang's mind is really a coincidence, just this one method, it will make Shumei Building famous." The shopkeeper made a routine announcement, and praised the master vigorously: "The Wutong Chun's eyes on the door are so red that he wants to learn this trick, but it has attracted a lot of ridicule, saying that they are picking up people's teeth and wisdom, at the end of the last month, we are full of seats here, and some people would rather sit in the hall and wait for a seat, than go to the door, the villain looks, the shopkeeper of Wutong Chun hates like thunder, hey, who made him lose the opportunity." ”

Wutong Spring is also a teahouse, in order to attract business, raised a lot of delicate Maiko, but also attracted a lot of gentlemen, but the real scribes, but disdain this - if you really want to find flowers and willows, raise your feet and go to Yihong Street, why go to the teahouse? They came to taste tea and talk, naturally they didn't like the occasion of the miasma, and now, even if Wutong Spring wants to "transform", it is too late.

Mama Yang listened carefully on the side, looking at the beautiful scenery of the eyes is a little different from the past, no wonder the eldest princess instructed, as long as Wu Niang is not in danger, but do not have to be too restrained her, at first Yang Mama was very puzzled, after all, Wu Niang is just cardamom, undecided, how can she be so indulgent, but today's peers, seeing Wu Niang's words and deeds are steady, and more wise and keen, at a young age, she does not lose to those housewives who have been in charge for many years, which is really reassuring, but also impressive.

At this time, Yijing estimated that the time agreed with Du Yuniang was approaching, so he said to Qiu Yue: "I still have to carefully inspect the account books here, and after a while, you first go to Yanzhufang on Yiyuan Street to buy some danqing for painting." He smiled and said to Mama Yang: "Mama go with Qiuyue, she is usually a playful person, but she is afraid that she will see something rare on the road, so she forgets about the business, and it is nothing to delay the matter, so that others can't find it." ”

Qiu Yue paused again and again: "Wu Niang, don't wronged the slave maid, when did the slave and maid become so ignorant." But he was coquettish, took his grandmother's arm, and happily walked out of the wing.
