"It's really ingenious, no wonder you dare to say that you want to hold a hundred flowers exhibition, it turns out that your Yuemingfang has figured out such a thing, with a flower shape, a flower soul, it is really a treasure."

The people of this era have great respect for the new and highly ornamental handicrafts, and even respect, and some craftsmen can even be regarded as rare treasures to the upper class or the royal family, and get the opportunity to perform in front of the heavenly family.

Lin Piao saw that he was playing with a peony hairpin in his hand, and he was embarrassed to ask him to come back, after all, there was no shortage of hairpins at home, but he was just asked to let others know about this thing before the Hundred Flowers Exhibition, so as not to lose the surprise.

Lord Liu knew what he meant, and naturally agreed.

While worrying about the clothes and hairpins, while running around the venue layout of Liufu, he had to be prepared at all times Zhao Ruofeng came to inquire about them again, and made many confusing feints, Lin Piao was so tired that he was about to collapse.

Finally got up to the beginning of the Hundred Flowers Exhibition, which happened to be a good day, and now that it was summer, Lin Piao took precautions against this, and asked someone to prepare gauze for pasting the window in advance, and sewed several horses together, so that the entourage could go to the roof of Liufu, and the gauze was opened to isolate the sunlight, and both the temperature and the light were softened.

With the multiple blessings of gauze, green plants, and eaves, it is still cool to stand under the eaves and look at the exhibition as a whole.

Lin Piao laid out the name, and spread it quite large, the people who came can be said to be in the dark, a noble girl wearing a splendid costume has to be accompanied by three or four maids, from the exhibition position under the corridor, to the side of the pavilion in the seat are full, in desperation had to ask the maids to go out and wait, a noble girl can only leave one maid to serve beside her, so as to free up a lot of space.

Lin Piao also put seats and snacks in a shady corner, a small box folded with banana leaves, a small snack in a small box, which was convenient for the nobles to eat, and a small pergola was built in the open area, so that people with status, such as Princess Jingyang, and some county lords could sit.

They fanned the small round fan in their hands and couldn't help complaining: "Why hasn't it started yet, isn't it because the Hundred Flowers Exhibition is just asking us to come and see the flowers planted in Lord Liu's house?" Is this the Hundred Flowers Exhibition? ”

They were complaining when there was a pause: "What is this sound?" ”

Everyone quieted down, listened quietly, and listened to the faint sound of music, ethereal, as if it was coming from the sky, but they could clearly hear the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra, especially the sound of the gonghou, ethereal and quiet.

Lin Piao is waiting in the room, looking at the corners on both sides, a total of six gonghou, six guqin, six pipes, to ensure the transmission of sound, so that only listen to its voice, not see its people, in the absence of sound cognition, this situation is more fascinating, more meaningful.

Outside, I found two young men who were handsome and had a good voice, and they were magnetic and loud, wearing gorgeous clothes and jade crowns, and raised their voices in the sound of music.

"Welcome, Twelve Flower Gods."

Everyone held their breath and looked at the decorated door, where several rows of flowers had been deliberately brought out, and rows of flowers were placed at the door, and it was obvious that the so-called flowers would appear from inside.

"Why did you welcome the god of flowers? Is it a prayer or a trick? ”

"Let's see what kind of trick it's up to."

The ground is covered with red cloth, although it is the cheapest red cloth, but the catwalk route has been planned, which directly fills the sense of ceremony and costume.

They said aloud.

"Suddenly, the fragrance of the night is scattered."

When the ladies heard this, they whispered to their side: "The first famous flower should be the plum blossom first." ”

The moment the model came out of the house, the people who had been whispering that the poem was not well chosen, and who felt that it was more appropriate, were silent for a moment, and could only watch the red as fire, walking down the steps, slowly walking in front of them in the sound of ethereal music, and spreading with a hint of incense.

Plum blossom god selected a thin and tall figure, not to be a cold expression of the woman as a model, she is dressed in red like fire, but the look is cold, beautiful and indifferent, the plum blossom in the center of the eyebrows is depicted on her snow-white skin.

The black hair is half pulled, the red plum is slanted, the little bloom, the ruby in the hair does not have those plum blossoms to attract attention, the waist and the skirt are even more small plum blossoms in full bloom, she holds a round white porcelain net bottle in her hand, which contains slender plum branches, really like the plum blossom fairy falling into the mortal world.

Lin Piao's work is done in accordance with the concept of fashion, if it is too in line with reality, it will lose the sense of concept formed by the fairy descending to earth.

Lin Piao asked them not to be too rigid, and to incorporate some of their own ideas and dance moves, which were rehearsed in advance, especially on them, who were smeared with various flavors of balm in advance, a flower and a smell, applied from hands to feet in advance, and the fragrance was so strong that it went straight to the nose.

However, the balm is not like perfume, and if it is not strong enough, it will be dispersed as soon as you walk in the yard, and you will not be able to smell the fragrance of the flower god at all.

The courtyard is lush with green plants, the mountains and rocks are towering, a famous flower is in full bloom, the flower god walks slowly in it, attracting everyone's attention to follow all the way to the past, and then the flower god stops in the world, stops for a while, does a few stretch long arms, shows the soft posture of the plum blossom in his hand, and then turns around and leaves, and walks towards several small pergolas and pavilions.

Everyone stretched their necks to see the last piece of her back that disappeared from sight, so that from the beginning to the bark, from the clothes to the makeup, jewelry, accessories and the sense of atmosphere, each item was beautiful to the extreme, like a dream from the front of the eyes walked over, as if time was frozen, in the shock brought by such beauty, the remaining eleven flower gods walked out slowly in turn,

The pink peach blossom walked into the world, the girl is delicate and lovely, pale white and pink, the small apricot blossom between the eyebrows, like an elf that is not contaminated with the dust of the world, a dress like a petal, wrapping him in it, the apricot blossom is placed on the temples like a cloud, and the small white dish in early spring falls on the sideburns.

Everyone looked at her in amazement: "Could it be that the real god of flowers is not successful, how can there be butterflies that fall on her sideburns and refuse to leave." ”

It wasn't until I walked in that I saw clearly that the little white disc was also a small hairpin, slanted on the sideburns.

In the amazement of beauty, everyone was even more full of praise: "This kind of butterfly hairpin, either made of gold and silver, or made of precious stones, although gorgeous but inevitably fall inferior, to be like the silk flower, done vividly, but the silk butterfly inevitably loses the soul, too forced, I don't know what it is, how to make it, it is so moving." ”

After the peony fairy appeared, a red gauze dress, like a dreamlike deep pink light red, the peach is scorching, since the spring, these flower gods are delicate, the powder smiles, the ribbon flutters between walking, the ring is tinkling, the fragrance is gusting, a smile is more like a fairy concubine.

Young and fond of looking at such bright and flowing clothes, a pair of eyes could not be taken off, and they looked at such a beautiful scenery for a moment.

Zhao Ruofeng had been waiting for the start of this Hundred Flowers Exhibition for a long time, he did not receive an invitation, and he needed an invitation to go in to see the exhibition, but he sent someone to wait near Liufu, he had been in Beijing for so many years, and the people he met in the back house naturally had more affection than Lin Piao, and one of the brothers who had a very good relationship with him agreed to him, saying that he would take the maid in, and then let the maid come out under the pretext of something, and tell the maid about the situation inside, so that it could reach his ears.

Zhao Ruofeng found a nearest inn nearby and opened a room and waited, feeling a little nervous, he has seen a lot of storms over the years, but Lin Piao is indeed a person who can do the whole thing, he can be surprised by him at a glance, before he just heard that he wants to make velvet flowers, but it is not difficult, invite a velvet flower master who has many years of kung fu to come, naturally he can do better than them halfway home, but he didn't expect that their velvet flowers have not yet started to sell, Lin Piao directly said that he wanted to hold a hundred flowers exhibition.

They are all brothers from small places, not to mention that Lin Piao has only been in Beijing for a long time, and he may not have read many books and seen many things, but he can always come up with so many unexpected things, which makes Zhao Ruofeng a little upset.

He stayed in his room drinking tea when he heard someone talking outside.

"Did you hear it when you passed by outside the Willow Mansion? Saying that today I invited famous ladies from all walks of life to hold an exhibition of flowers in Liufu, so I passed by the door of their mansion, and I really didn't know what kind of scene it was inside. ”

"Why didn't I hear it, I changed the tune for a while, and it was connected from beginning to end, and it was said to be a hundred flowers exhibition, but I think it looks like a song and dance banquet."

"What you listen to people play is the elegant sound of the guqin gonghou, and there is only an occasional flute sound, which is cheerful and light, and there is no sense of the sound of the guqin, how can it be a performance of song and dance."

Zhao Ruofeng's maid was waiting outside the house, because the inside was not enough, and many maids were talking to the sisters they knew under the porch outside, Zhao Ruofeng's maid was afraid that they would ask her where she belonged from, so she waited outside, standing under the stairs, behind the pillar, and waited for a long time without seeing anyone come out, and he heard the music inside outside for a long time, and it stands to reason that she should have come out a long time ago, why hasn't she come out yet, she waited for a long time, until the informant came up.

"How? Is there really a hundred flowers? What do you see? ”

"There are a hundred flowers, and now we are welcoming the pomegranate flower god, and the next one is the flower god, I rushed to take a look at the pomegranate flower god and drove it out, I have to go back quickly, otherwise as soon as the pomegranate flower god leaves, the flower god will come out." He said it a little quickly, and hurried back to continue looking, obviously his heart was left inside, and he just hurried out to deal with it.

"What pomegranate flower god Han flower god? Is it a sacrifice to the god of flowers? ”

"It's the god of flowers, I can't tell you clearly, just tell your master that there are indeed a hundred flowers, and they are all jewelry." He couldn't say what it was, after all, he was just looking at it now, and he hadn't told them what those flowers were made of or how to call them, but he knew that they were indeed a hundred flowers.

Zhao Ruofeng's maid was a little surprised, the flowers made of jewelry, that is, velvet flowers? What's so good about velvet flowers as flowers? Or silk flowers? Honeysuckle gemstone flowers? In short, no matter what it was, he couldn't think of anything worth inviting people to watch it on purpose, and everyone had seen a lot of these things in Beijing, so there was nothing unusual.

After saying the words in a hurry, the man carried his skirt and hurriedly walked in, and disappeared between the slightly open and narrow doors, and he couldn't see it even if he wanted to look inside, which was so vague that he didn't know how to go back and talk to Zhao Ruofeng, so he continued to guard the door, intending to look at the situation again, thinking that this thing was not unusual, and the people inside estimated that they would be bored after watching it for a while, and then he would go and talk to Zhao Ruofeng, saying that these things were not very good, and some of the people who were watching inside came out after a while.

He waited outside, and did not wait for anyone to come out, but until some noble lady sent a maid out, and left in a hurry, not knowing what he was doing, and after a while another noble lady came down from the carriage with an invitation and entered the carriage with a note.

It turned out that the person who had disdained this hundred flowers banquet before was quickly called over by his own friend.

At least seven or eight of them rushed over halfway, but they saw that none of them came out, and he felt that the situation was really not too right, so he quickly turned around and left, went to the room where Zhao Ruofeng's inn was staying, and quickly told him about these things.

Zhao Ruofeng could not think of what it could be, such a novelty and wonderfulness that left all the people inside, but he could not get in or out, so he could only wait for the end of this exhibition of the hundred flowers to find out.

He took a sip of tea and slowly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, knowing that Lin Piao was in a desperate situation this time, but he turned over in front of him successfully.

Lin Piao counted the time, starting in the afternoon, offering refreshments, and then finishing before three o'clock, and finally leaving another hour and a half for sales and try-ons.

The second round then begins.

"Twelve Flowers Wander the World."

With a shout, the previous plum blossom god took off her ancient fashion, changed into human clothes, a red palace dress, wearing a red brocade fur cloak, cloud sideburns, wearing a simple and elegant plum blossom hairpin, holding a plum blossom style and walking over.

The peach blossom god put on a pink Confucian skirt, tied a double bun pink velvet flowers clustered her double bun, the pink hairband hung down from the middle of a small section, looking at the pink and tender, delicate and beautiful, the girl stepped on the spring like a brisk foot.

The peony flower god combed up the tall woman's bun, a bright peony hairpin in the middle, with pairs of golden hairpins inserted on both sides, the dress was luxurious and steady, the shawl was half on the arm crook, and she walked in the mature and beautiful style of a housewife.

The pomegranate flower goddess was like a bright daughter, put on a newly ordered dance dress, and the layers of red hems swayed with her footsteps, turning with her steps.

The god of the flowers is wearing a pink and white thin shirt, beautiful and refined, holding a lotus flower in one hand and a scroll in the other, which is a slim and elegant literary and youthful style.

The weather is cooler, and the osmanthus flower god wears a goose yellow jacket, which is elegant and pure.

The model chosen by the chrysanthemum and orchid in the back is the brother, who is relatively thinner and taller than the woman, and the figure does not fluctuate too much, which can create a sense of indifference and elegance.

Everyone watched intently, because there were too many details in this performance, whether it was the flower hairpin on the model's head, the butterfly hairpin, the clothes on the body, the matching color, the jade pendant worn, the placket, and the forbidden step, they were all very particular, and there were also handkerchiefs in hand, or some atmospheric ornaments, the details were so dense that they couldn't see it, even if the interval between each model was very long, they still hoped that the model would stop in front of them and tell them to study it for half an hour.

When the twelve flower gods are finished, they will invite a hundred flowers to visit the world.

Fashion they only prepared twelve sets, because to hurry up to make it in half a month, more really can't be done, the tourist series of outfits can be directly used ready-made clothes, really not good can also buy ready-to-wear clothes, anyway, as long as it is luxurious and exquisite enough, including all kinds of jewelry, those jade ornaments, pressed placket, forbidden steps, some are prepared by Lin Piao himself, but some are too expensive, any one will cost thousands of taels of silver, all of them can not be bought at their own expense, it is Lin Piao who ran to the jewelry shop, tried his best to call the boss to sponsor, alsopromised that if a noble girl took a fancy to it, he would be responsible for helping to sell it together.

Some of the bosses didn't want to borrow the valuables, but some of the bosses also knew that Lin Piao was going to hold an exhibition of flowers, but he invited all the nobles in Beijing who could be invited.

Lin Piao and Xiao Yuejuaner Qiuyu were in the background, they were carefully checked and checked, and when they were hung on the model, they were also tied and tied, and they were afraid that it would not be firm, and they secretly wrapped it a few more times with thin threads.

After that, the main display of hairpins, with appropriate collocation, with the model's head of various colors of flower hairpins, and then take some props to set off the atmosphere, the atmosphere and beauty set off, what jasmine, Qionghua, rose, epiphany, weeping begonia, beauty with beautiful flowers, back and forth in the yard, playing around the exhibition.

Then in the midst of the music, all the flowers gathered and saluted to the nobles, although only slightly bent their knees, but the flowers in this atmosphere saluted, which can be said to be full of satisfaction, and then they walked to the pergola and the gazebo, and then saluted in turn, no different from the big brother of the thanksgiving list, the main thing was to pronounce her name and name in front of everyone.

Then Lin Piao and Juan'er Xiaoyue walked out and thanked everyone, Lin Piao looked at these originally noble and cold faces, just curious to find something to pass the time, now with a smile on his face, as if he was fascinated, his eyes moved with the movement of the flower gods, the flower gods saluted them respectfully and said hello, they also politely called each other the flower gods, completely trapped in this atmosphere.

As soon as Lin Piao walked out, they looked even more appreciative, knowing that this Hundred Flowers Exhibition was made by him, but he was ingenious, daring to think and dare to do, he was a capable and intelligent person, and praised him again and again.

Lin Piao announced in public that all the flowers on display today are velvet flowers, which are the only velvet flowers researched by them in Yuemingfang.

Everyone was very surprised, they didn't expect it to be a velvet flower, which was completely different from the velvet flower they had in their impression and used, so they couldn't help but ask him if it was really a velvet flower? How?

Lin Piao was waiting for this, and said gently, please forgive them for not being able to reveal, this is the unique craft of Yuemingfang, which cannot be passed on, and will never be said to anyone, if one day someone outside also makes such a velvet flower, it is their unique craft that has been stolen by the wicked, but this kind of velvet flower only belongs to Mingyuefang, and it is only Dongshi Xiaofeng next to it.

As soon as Lin Piao said on the phone, he didn't believe that Zhao Ruofeng could still steal his velvet flowers, and even if he did, he didn't believe that he was embarrassed to do it, and even if he did, it would be impossible for a noble girl who paid attention to character in Beijing to buy it, so it was considered to block Zhao Ruofeng's way first.

While Lin Piao was talking, the god of flowers had already returned to the room, holding up the exquisite wooden boxes prepared in advance, and the boxes were opened one by one, and they walked out with them.

"This kind of velvet flowers are hard to find, and only some of them are on display today, so please appreciate them."

Everyone was waiting for this, knowing that he was going to start selling velvet flowers, but they had long been unable to hold back their hearts to buy, and it was the drowsiness that met the pillow, and they all nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Lin Piao is not good at shouting the price publicly, not to mention that the price of each hairpin is also different, Lin Piao asked the model to remember the price, and was responsible for selling the goods when it was displayed, and if the deal was made, he would go to Xiaoyue to register the delivery.

The gods of flowers held the box, walked up to the front to make a row, let them see the exquisite velvet hairpin lying in the box, if there is a noble lady to see, then let the maid next to him to talk and ask the price, Lin Piao wasted so much effort, it is bound to make this thing into the top class in luxury, the price of each hairpin is more than 100 taels of silver, considering the cost, it does not cost gold, silver and gemstones, and the general processed products can buy a few taels of silver at most, Lin Piao's pricing is the top luxury.

But this price is nothing for the nobles, it belongs to the range of their willingness to spend money to buy the forced style, not to mention that on such occasions, as long as they buy a hairpin, the flower god of the same series will ask her name, and then call out her name with a smile, and salute her in the crowd to thank her, at that moment to be noticed by everyone felt very good.

The peony hairpin was undoubtedly bought by Princess Jingyang, and after the hairpin was sold out, someone asked the flower god if the hairpin and clothes were sold.

Obviously, it was a more participatory thing to see the Hundred Flowers Exhibition and buy the things on the flower god.

The god of flowers smiled and replied that it was all available for sale, so she asked for the hairpin on her head by name, she pulled it off with a smile, and offered it with both hands, as for the things on the body, because it was not easy to take off, she asked the maid to go to the side to register, and waited until everyone wanted things that were almost the same, and then went to the background to replace and disassemble them, and put the forbidden jade pads in gift boxes respectively, and sent them over according to the registered order.

Today, not only all the velvet flowers were sold out, but also the gold, silver and precious stones worn by the flower gods, and they were busy from noon to the afternoon, and ended this exhibition of flowers before the meal.

Some of these flower gods were selected from the maids, some were borrowed from Wen Jieqing's side to see their good looks, and some were borrowed from the Biyun Building.

Now that they got off work, Liufu was very enthusiastic, and arranged for them to have a working meal for today, Lin Piao went to thank Mrs. Liu, and took out the thank-you gift that had been left in advance, two peony velvet flowers, one large and one small, which could be disassembled and used, or they could be put together next to each other, a hairpin of a blue-purple butterfly.

Mrs. Liu was very happy to receive the gift, first politely excused herself, and then said that she would not be rewarded for nothing, and excused herself for three rounds, and after Lin Piao said that she was familiar with her at first sight, and that she would often communicate in the future, she nodded and accepted it, and then said that she asked him to come to Liufu more often, and she had a good person to talk to in the back house, and she liked things like that when she saw Lin Piao.

After the Hundred Flowers Exhibition ended, Shen Hong also came to Liufu, one was to meet Lord Liu and thank him again, and the other was to pick up Lin Piao and them back to their home.

Satsuki went to arrange the carriage and send the models back wherever they wanted, and they sat in another carriage, lifted the curtains, and watched the sky gradually darken, and the sunset in the sky was like melting gold, disappearing into the clouds.

They have received a lot of silver bills today, some of them in gold, and some of them are kept in the accounts, so that they can go to the door tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to collect them.

"You will sort out the account later, and send it to those jewelry shops to them, this account has to be collected by us, and we can't let them go, otherwise we have become a matchmaker in the field we have done, and give them half of it more, which is a thank you for their kindness in lending us jewelry."

When a few people thought that they had made so much money in one day today, publicized their fame, and had taken preventive shots in advance to prevent Zhao Ruofeng from plagiarizing, they almost laughed from ear to ear.

Lin Piao was a little more restrained, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face: "I think what Zhao Ruofeng can do this time, he is next to the big tree of the second prince, and he is in charge of such a business as Baozhu Tower, so he has the final say on why, and now he has to know what it means to have someone outside the world." ”

Xiao Yue nodded again and again: "That's it, I'm angry with him, don't say that he can't learn this time, and it depends on whether he dares to do it." ”

Several of them were happy, and then Lin Piao turned his head to look at Shen Hong: "Baozhu Tower is backed by the second prince, we don't have an opinion on the second prince, right?" ”
