On March 30, Ding Zhao took the well-dressed Ding Li to the carriage to study in Princess Dongyang's mansion. Ding Liren also followed, he went to Xun Yibo to discuss knowledge.

Ding Zhi and Tang both wanted to follow, but Ding Zhuang didn't agree. said that they couldn't get on the stage, and when they saw the nobles, they couldn't open their mouths, and they would lose Ding Lilai's face.

Lilac and Ding Zhuang went together in a mule cart, they didn't go to the princess's mansion, but to see Lilac's shop on Changshun Street,

In ancient times, books were expensive, and it burned money to open a study.

Lilac wants to open a different study and burn money.

The people of Dali live well, and there are many rich people at the feet of the Son of Heaven. They are not bad for money, but bad for different cultures.

When Ding Xiang was in Beiquan Village, he wanted to get a bookstore that combined the fragrance of books and tea, which was also to lay the foundation for doing that in the future.

Even the name, decoration style, and business philosophy have been thought of.

The name is "Sipinsai".

This shop occupies a small area, and it is the smallest shop on this street, with about 100 square meters per floor.

There are four compartments in the backyard and three compartments on each side.

The first floor sells four books and five classics and word stickers, poems and songs, etc., the second floor sells scripts, historical records and some reference books, and the third floor is luxuriously decorated, divided into eight small private rooms, which is convenient for female dependents and distinguished guests who do not like to disturb.

Next to several rows of bookshelves, there are a few tables and chairs where you can sit and read a book, drink tea and eat dessert.

Ancient glass is very expensive, it is impossible to install glass windows, and the light is not good. It is necessary to hang more lanterns, and for safety reasons, it is necessary to hang more expensive claw lanterns.

Come here not only to taste books, tea, and fragrance, but also to taste a different life.

Ding Xiang also thought of a good candidate for the shopkeeper, who was the little soup steward of the Chengenhou Mansion. He is Tang Jun, the son of Manager Tang, eighteen years old, handsome and elegant, courteous and polite, and often welcomes and sends him to the store with Manager Tang.

Tang Jun has read books for a few years, and he is awake and steady.

It is said that he has not yet decided on a daughter-in-law, and if both parties are willing, he will tell him Aya'er.

Moreover, his father can help him a lot.

After reading the shop, Ding Xiang and Ding Zhuang went to the private room on the second floor of Mingyue Building, and waited for Ding Zhao and a few people to come over to have dinner together.

Not long after, Li Xiaolu came to report, "Old lady, sister, great joy! Glory! The two young masters pleased Princess Dongyang, and Her Royal Highness the princess left them for dinner, and rewarded the two young masters with a jade ruyi each."

He ran sweaty, looked proud, and grinned behind his ears.

Oh my God, he saw Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the ancestral grave was smoking.

Hearing that the two grandsons were appreciated by the princess, Ding Zhuang was also very happy. He felt that in Princess Dongyang's mansion, except for the Xiangxiang County Lord, everyone else was fine.

He was still interested in the princess, and couldn't help asking, "Have you seen the princess, and what does it look like?"

Lilac snorted coldly in her heart, Princess Dongyang "appreciated" the Ding brothers, and Bacheng was also to please Xun Concubine.

Xun Horse is her Bai Mingguang.

Lilac was not happy with her grandfather's humble attitude towards Dongyang, and muttered, "No matter how princess she is, she will never have two noses and four nostrils."

Ding Zhuang saw that his granddaughter was unhappy again, so he quickly suppressed the gossip fire in his eyes.

Li Xiaolu didn't hear Lilac's words clearly, and said with a smile, "Glory of the slave, I glanced at Her Royal Highness the Princess from afar. Oh, the princess is beautiful and majestic."

Ding Zhuang said weakly, "That's the princess, of course it's majestic."

Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang came out of the private room after eating, and actually ran into an old acquaintance who came out of the private room next door.

"Sister Ding."

"Sister Mi."

Unexpected encounters, Lilac and Bei Hongmian are very pleasantly surprised.

Mi Hongmian is a little taller than three years ago, two points more calm, and still so sweet and lovely.

She pulled Lilac and smiled, "Ah, Sister Ding has grown so much taller, I almost didn't recognize it."

She had come to dinner with her two brothers. Ding Zhuang was invited by the Mi brothers to their private room, and Ding Xiang pulled Mi Hongmian into his private room.

Two people

After talking about the recent situation, he invited the other party to play at home.

Lilac smiled again, "Next month, the second Hongyi little master will come to my house to play...... Oh, it's the little novice who fell asleep while listening to Master Mingyuan's lectures, you've seen it too."

Lilac pretends not to know the relationship between Hongyi and the Mi family. If Mi Hongmian wants to come and see Hongyi up close, just come.

Mi Hongmian's eyes burst out with extreme joy, and she had to endure it. said with a smile, "Sister Ding is so blessed, Little Master Hongyi is a disciple of Master Mingyuan, and many people want to befriend him."

The two talked for a while, broke up and left Mingyue Tower.

Ding Zhuang and Ding Xiang went to the Chengenhou Mansion again.

For Lilac's request, Dong Yi's family did not disagree, let alone ask for a subordinate.

Immediately asked Tang Jun to kowtow to Lilac, and gave it to her along with the slave deed.

Steward Tang and Tang Jun were also happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Although the Ding family is not as powerful as the Chengenhou Mansion, look at the "Baotie" and "Jiulu" they opened, they are all famous.

The current Bai Zihua is the big boss of Jiaodong's "Baotie", not to mention that he earns a lot of money, and he is still respected.

Ding Xiang said again that the second master of the junior high school Hongyi would go to his house, and Mi Hongmian also knew about it, so he might go that day.

The implication is that if Dong Ping wants to have a chance encounter with a beauty, don't miss it.

Dong Ping blushed, thinking about finding some reason to go to Ding's house one day. The last time he saw Miss Mi, he took a look from afar the year before last.

Dong Yiqian and Mrs. Dong have lived overseas for many years, and they don't have much concept of male and female defense. If the son wants to go, just go.

The grandfather and grandson didn't stay for dinner, and took Tang Jun back home.

It was already dark when they got home, and Ding Zhao and the others had come back early.

Ding Zhi and the Tang family were very proud, and asked the Dongyang princess to reward Ding Lilai's jade Ruyi, and said that they would take it to the main house of the new home in Qili Hutong in the future, and his family's Pengzi also shined.

Ding Zhao handed another pair of words to Lilac. It is a cursive script written by Xun Yuma, with the words "Mo Yan has no confidant today, and he has his own breeze as a deceased", which has been framed and stamped with the red seal of "Monks from the Four Seas".

Lilac took it with a happy face. Now there are not only paintings of Feng Daozi and Lao Weng in her study, but also the words of the monks from all over the world, and she hopes that her future big paintings will be on par with those three kinds of calligraphy and paintings.

After the meal, Lilac went back to the house to draw the decoration drawing of "Sipinzhai". I painted until the second half of the night, and Mama Wei came to urge her a few times before she stopped.

Now the Ding family is an official, and Aunt Wei has become "Mama Wei" again.

The next day, Lilac called Tang Jun to Zixuan, handed him the drawing paper, and told him the concept of the study, asking him to recruit a few juniors, buy a cook who knows how to cook, and then go to the teahouse to dig a master who knows how to divide tea with a high salary.

The reason why the cook wants to buy it is because she wants to teach her some dim sum recipes, which are currently kept secret.

And to divide tea, you have to find a skilled master.

Tea is a unique art form that uses foam to express calligraphy and painting, also known as water danqing, and was very popular in the Song Dynasty in the previous history.
