Su Yueling didn't know the plans of Prince Zhen's Mansion. During the Chinese New Year period, she received an unusual number of invitations.
She picked the ones she liked and took Baoshu out for a walk. After a while, Baoshu also got to know the girls from both families and she was excited to send them invitations and invite them to come to her home.
Play.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think I want to do with them then?"
Because Baoshu opened a store in the past year, she often dealt with various religions and people, and her temperament matured very quickly. It was rare to see her showing a childish expression, so Su Yueling naturally supported her.
Su Yueling thought for a while. Women in this era rarely exercised. They were all relatively indoor. Those who exercised a lot would definitely not be able to do it. Moreover, it was still cold in the capital in January. Although it had not snowed in the past few days, the weather was still chilly, so she definitely had to stay there.
in the house.
When it comes to bathing in hot springs, the relationship between Baoshu and them has not yet reached this stage.
Su Yueling pondered for a moment and said, "You can play Thieves and Kills, and you can also play flying chess."
"Monopoly can do that too."
She prefers to play script killing with Mrs. Pang and the others, often coming once a month. And now there is no need to bother Yuan Suijun every time with the script. Each of them takes turns to come up with a script. Of course, Mrs. Pang
They will definitely not write it themselves, they will just pay someone to write it. A wonderful book can cost a hundred taels. For these wealthy families, this is just a drizzle of expenses. But Baoshu
There are few of them, so they are more suitable for playing Monopoly and Ludo.
By the way, there is a girl in there who is a janitor, and she will also be able to play indoor darts when the time comes.
Speaking of indoor activities, there are also bowling alleys, badminton halls...
The residences of Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun have been opened up, and there are still many empty courtyards in the mansion. It would not be a pain to use one of them as a sports hall.
She drew the design drawings in less than half a day, and Katsuo took them to find craftsmen to make these things.
After the indoor darts venue was built, the first person to run to play was Yuan Suifeng. He obviously liked this entertainment and spent half an hour in it every day.
Su Yueling simply built a venue in his yard to prevent him from competing with Baoshu to play.
Su Yueling helped Baoshu think about the entertainment items. Baoshu only needed to prepare the dishes to entertain the little sisters.
After all, this is also the first time Baoshu has posted a post to invite people over, so the place must be supported by Baoshu.
Just as Su Yueling thought, Baoshu's reception this time could be said to be perfect.
The two little sisters who were invited by her had a great time. Miss Mu, who was born as a general, liked the darts very much and had so much fun playing there. The other Miss Li preferred to play Monopoly.
The two little girls were well-educated. When greeting Su Yueling before leaving, they specifically asked her if they could play when they returned home.
Su Yueling didn't care about this. She was just standing on the shoulders of giants for these fruits of wisdom that were not hers in the first place.
She responded immediately, "It's just a small matter."
She made several sets of Monopoly and flying chess, so she gave the two little girls a set as a gift for them to take home.
Miss Mu and Miss Li were very happy. When they returned home and mentioned it to their families, these kinds of entertainment became popular in the capital.
Whether it is the previous Thief Killing, Script Killing, or the current Monopoly, Ludo... they are all popular new entertainment projects in the capital.
Su Yueling has also become a person who can play in the hearts of many people. Their family's life in the capital has been on the right track, and they are gradually adapting to life in the capital. Su Yueling almost forgot about Gu Liniang, until someone from below sent news that it was Gu Liniang.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I had a dispute with my family, and then on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, while my family was out, I took my baggage and left the capital with a caravan.
Su Yueling estimated the time. If Gu Liniang was going back to Guangning County, she would have arrived by now.
Her guess was indeed correct. On January 12th, Gu Liniang arrived in her long-awaited hometown.
The journey was full of dust, which made her beautiful appearance look quite haggard.
When the Gu family left, they sold all the local houses and properties, so Gu Liniang really didn't have a place to stay when she came back. This was not a problem for her. She had not used the five hundred taels of silver she had now, except for
In addition, there are more than ten taels of silver.
After being away for several years, Gu Liniang naturally would not go to her ex-husband Zhang Chengwang right away, but planned to inquire about his current situation first. She also wanted to know whether Zhang Chengwang and his new wife treated each other with respect.
She rented a house and hired a neighbor's twelve-year-old daughter Qingqing for two hundred cents a month to take care of her. Whether Gu Liniang was the concubine of a wealthy businessman or Xi Mubai's concubine, she had nothing to do with it.
She has gone through all kinds of hardships and has become accustomed to being served by maids. Moreover, with Qingqing, she can ask Qingqing to help her inquire about the situation of the Zhang family, without her needing to show her face.
For the sake of two hundred coins, Qingqing was extremely attentive to her.
"You want to ask Zhang Chengwang? This name sounds familiar."
Gu Liniang was overjoyed. Could it be that Cheng Wang's talent and reputation were something that even a little girl like Qingqing had heard of?
Qingqing said: "I'll go back and ask my parents, and I'll tell you when I find out more clearly."
In less than a stick of incense, Qingqing came back again.
"Zhang Chengwang, I remember he was a scholar. He didn't get along well with Master Yuan. Everyone said he was jealous of Master Yuan and even framed him. By the way, you know Master Yuan, right? He is Yuan Suijun, our number one in Daxia.
The third grade is also the pride of our Guangning County."
How could Gu Liniang not know Yuan Suijun's name? He was also a famous figure in the capital and a popular figure in front of the emperor. While other fellow scholars were still trembling in the Hanlin Academy, he was already able to chat and laugh with the emperor.
She originally thought that the Zhang family and the Yuan family were neighbors, and the two families had some friendship before she left. If Cheng Wang becomes a Jinshi in the future, based on this friendship, his career as an official will be smoother.
In the end, Cheng Wang actually offended Yuan Suijun?
No wonder! No wonder when she went to the Yuan family, the Yuan family treated her indifferently and were not even willing to do something as convenient as sending her back. I guess it was because of Cheng Wang that he took his anger out on her.
Her original enthusiasm immediately cooled down by half. Gu Liniang could only comfort herself. Everyone in the capital said that Yuan Suijun was a gentleman with a glorious reputation and was magnanimous. As long as Chengwang apologized properly in the future, for the sake of his friendship with the same village, he
Cheng Wang should be forgiven.
"Speaking of which, the Zhang family really lost their good hand. Zhang Chengwang and Yuan Zhuangyuan were once neighbors, and they were brothers-in-law. As a result, the Zhang family offended the Yuan Zhuangyuan and Princess Wei to death."
Gu Liniang's beauty turned pale, "Are they two brothers-in-law? Is Zhang Xiucai's wife the maiden sister of Princess Wei?"
