Chapter 129: The Banquet
Kyoto has been known as the best place since ancient times.
The ancient city is bustling and lively, with continuous shops and busy traffic.
Looking out of the car window, I found that the prosperity in front of me was ten times more prosperous than Yunmeng.
Jiang Han couldn't help but think of Liu Yong's poem: smoke and willows paint bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and there are 100,000 people.
The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious.
The Qin family has a Ningguo Mansion in Kyoto, which is more majestic than Yunmeng's Ningguo Mansion.
After all, the word "erection" represents the emperor's decree to build, and its specifications are higher.
Qin Zhong is the hereditary Duke of Ningguo, and the Duke of Ningguo was still the founder of the country.
After Qin Zhong moved to Yunmeng, this Ningguo Mansion was uninhabited, and all the servants and maids were retired, the gate was locked, and it was cold and depressed.
Steward Qin took out the key from his arms, opened the lock, Jiang Han walked inside, only to see the pavilions and halls inside, majestic and magnificent, and even a large garden, green trees and fragrant flowers, rockeries and flowing water.
"It's more luxurious than Yunmeng's Qin Mansion!" Jiang Han grinned and couldn't help but sigh a little.
Steward Qin went out to hire a few old mothers to clean the room, leaving Jiang Han and the eldest lady, and the second lady shopping by herself.
Yun'er helped the second lady to a boudoir to rest, and Jiang Han took advantage of this to visit the mansion.
I have to say that this mansion is really too big, Jiang Han actually got lost after walking in, and walked out after going around a few times.
Jiang Hanxin said that it was no wonder that Grandma Liu would get lost when she entered the Grand View Garden.
After coming out, he walked around the street again, and soon found that Ning Guofu and Chengguo Mansion were not far away.
Ning Guofu is on the west side of the street, and Chengguo Mansion is on the east side of the street, and it is only a few steps away from the door.
But unlike the snub of Ning Guofu, people in Chengguo Mansion come in and out from time to time.
Remembering what Hong Yuan said, Cheng Guogong seemed to have a lot of opinions about himself, and Cheng Guofu didn't do anything after Ning Guofu's accident, Jiang Han smiled and returned to Ning Guofu.
When he returned to Ning Guofu, someone came to the door, saying that the eldest young master of the Ning family knew that Qin Muqing had brought Jiang Han to Kyoto and set up a banquet in Chunxiang Garden, so he must invite them to the banquet.
In fact, since Jiang Han and Qin Muqing stepped into Kyoto, many people have known about it, but most of them have not moved, and only the Ning family sent people over.
Qin Zhong explained that the head of the Ning family is Qin Muqing's uncle, and the Ning family has two sons, the eldest son Ning Lang used to be the third place in the township test, and the second son Ning Ya also won the tenth place in the township test the year before last, so it is best to go to this banquet and mix up the face.
Qin Muqing actually didn't want to go, she had been away from Kyoto for too long, and she really didn't have any topics with those two cousins, and now she couldn't even remember what those two cousins looked like.
However, the family members of the Ning family have been trying their best to invite them, and they must go to the banquet.
Miss Qin looked at Jiang Han and said lazily, "Jiang Han, you accompany me on a trip." ”
Jiang Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! ”
Originally, he planned to bring two poems to meet Zhongli Daru to strengthen the relationship between master and apprentice, but Qin Muqing asked him to accompany him, can he still refuse?
The second lady had already planned to go to rest, but when she heard that her brother-in-law and sister were going out, she said that she would go with her.
"Second Miss, you are weak, why don't you stay at home." Jiang Han said.
Although she stopped while walking along the way, the second lady still coughed loudly when she was slightly winded, and the whole person looked thinner.
"Brother-in-law, you call me Second Miss again......" Qingyan corrected and said softly: "Before I go, I'll just take the medicine." ”
Jiang Han still can't figure out what kind of illness Qin Qingyan is, he always looks sick, after all, his profession in his previous life is not a doctor.
Seeing her say this, Steward Qin didn't object, Jiang Han had no choice but to say, "Okay then!" ”
……
At night, the lights are on, and the spring fragrance garden is on.
Ning Lang and Ning Ya were sitting in the pavilion, and in addition, there were three handsome girls sitting next to them and laughing.
As the eldest son of the Ning family, the third place in the township test, Shu Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, Ning Lang, who is only twenty-five years old, looks like a talent, coupled with the luxurious brocade robe on his body, he has a noble spirit.
And although Ning Ya beside him is not as handsome as his brother, he also has a good skin, and coupled with his literary position, he can be regarded as a great talent.
At this time, Ning Ya and the two women were talking and laughing next to each other, and their eyes swept over the plump breasts of the two women from time to time.
Ning Lang held a very beautifully made folding fan in his hand, and said while shaking it gently: "I heard that Cousin Mu Qing recruited a son-in-law as a husband, but he is also a little talented, but now his poems and novels are circulating in Kyoto, he is a talent!" ”
Ning Ya smiled, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "What kind of talent is it?" Not even a child, is he a genius? ”
Ning Lang said: "I heard that even the great Confucian praised his poems. ”
Ning Ya said: "An obscure poor scholar suddenly wrote such good poems, does the eldest brother believe it?" ”
He sneered and continued: "In my opinion, this is a poem that Ning Guofu bought from somewhere, just to build momentum for this son-in-law!" ”
Although Ning Lang was noncommittal, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes, these tricks were commonplace in his eyes, and many aristocratic straw bales liked to buy poems from poor scholars and decorate themselves, looking very talented.
Ning Guofu declined, and Qin Zhong did not have a son, so he bought poems for his son-in-law, built momentum for his son-in-law, and created a talented persona, but this method was not clever, he could see it at a glance!
"I haven't seen my cousins in years, and I don't know what they look like." Ning Ya smiled.
Standing in the pavilion, the girl in colorful clothes said with a smile: "Ning Gongzi's cousin heard that she is already twenty years old, but she is not married at the age of twenty...... The son-in-law recruited is also a talented man who can't pass the Tongsheng exam, but I'm afraid that he won't look good, right? ”
Her name is Yan Su, she is the daughter of Yan Qingzheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, she belongs to the scholarly family, and her appearance and figure are also at the upper middle level.
Hearing Yan Su's words at this time, the eldest prince also nodded slightly, extremely approving.
The cousin Mu Qing in his memory is already very vague, but he can't get married at the age of twenty, and he can only call a poor show as his son-in-law, but he is afraid that his appearance is really not good-looking.
As for the little cousin, I heard that she is fifteen or sixteen years old, but she is sick, how good can a sick woman be?
The reason why they were invited to Chunxiangyuan this time was because their father let them contact Ning Guofu.
The eldest prince shook his head as he thought about it.
At this moment, a small servant ran over: "The eldest young master, the second young master, the eldest lady and the second miss of Ning Guofu are here!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a beautiful girl in a red dress and a ponytail walking in.
The girl had a graceful figure, a beautiful appearance, and a delicate appearance. As soon as he came in, the aura on his body instantly crushed the woman in the pavilion.
Everyone in the pavilion froze.
