There are two places in the Hou Mansion dedicated to entertaining guests, the 'Bilan Garden' and the 'Yusheng Tower', both of which are courtyards with an elegant and comfortable environment. Prince Duan lived in the Bilan Garden, while the other female family members lived in the Yusheng Tower.
Prince Duan suddenly came to Linyang City, naturally with the emperor's orders. The two went directly to the Marquis's study, closed the door and talked in secret for a long time. The guards guarded the door and no one was allowed to disturb.
The eldest lady accompanied Yang Xin and Ling Wan to Qingfeng Garden. It was Yang Xin who proposed this, saying that she wanted to hear the princess and Liu Yun's ensemble. The eldest lady thought about it and agreed. Although this paragraph
In those days, Qingfeng Garden was heavily guarded, but now that Prince Duan and the others are here, Qingfeng Garden cannot keep the distinguished guests out.
Before reaching Qingfeng Garden, I heard a gauze-like sound of the piano coming from the yard. It was faint and vague, allowing the listener to feel the sadness and reluctance in the sound of the piano, which was desolate and regretful.
, as if slowly rising from the trough, and then becoming more and more urgent, a tidal wave of nervous breath rushing in, reaching the critical point and stopping abruptly, giving people a sense of urgency standing on the edge of a cliff, and the heart is rushing
There was a deathly silence, and before they could return to their senses, the melodious sound of the piano sounded again, like a breeze blowing on their faces, lingering in their hearts.
Almost subconsciously, Yang Xin couldn't help but clapped her hands and interrupted the two people's ensemble in the yard. When the music stopped, she suddenly realized that she had ruined the princess's mood, and she was embarrassed for a moment.
"The four famous songs are indeed well-deserved." Qi Lingwan walked in gracefully and smiled at Princess Jintao, "The princess's piano skills are getting better and better."
Princess Jintao has always liked simple people. She and Lingwan have known each other since they were young. Although they don't have much of a friendship, overall they have a good relationship.
"It's this Bingxian qin that is good, but it's not my piano skills that are outstanding." Princess Jintao saw at a glance that Liu Yun had prepared the famous Bingxian qin for her, and naturally praised her, "The one who takes the ice string
, the natural quality is wonderful, this is not nonsense."
Liuyun smiled faintly. There were two harps in her room, one was the ice string harp, and the other was the Nine Heavens Pendant made of white jade in her hand. They were both sent to Mu Mansion by Dongfang Ye before she got married.
When I arrived at the Hou Mansion, I brought them along with me.
Speaking of which, many of the things Dongfang Ye gave her are now her favorites. She was born in a wealthy family and has never seen any good things. Priceless things may not be what she likes, but every gift Dongfang Ye sends is.
It gave her a great surprise.
"If the princess likes it, the young lady will definitely be willing to give up her love." Yang Xin's tone was a bit sarcastic. She had already classified Liu Yun as a person with ulterior motives. King Duan would like him, especially the princess. This
Women are really scheming.
Liuyun smiled indifferently and turned his head to look at the princess. The two looked at each other, and a tacit understanding slowly extended between them.
"A gentleman does not take away from others' preferences. Sister Liuyun is willing to let me play this famous piano. I am very happy in my heart." Jintao is also a person who loves the piano, so he naturally knows what to ask for and what things to ask for.
You shouldn't ask for it. Just by looking at these two well-maintained famous pianos, you can tell how much Liu Yun loves them. How could she take away her beloved things?
The princess's words made Yang Xin's face freeze, and she hit another soft nail.
However, if she stopped there, she would not be Yang Xin. She continued: "As expected of the Hou Mansion, everything we do is of the highest quality. Look at the Longquan celadon on this stone. The glaze is green and translucent, and the patterns are elegant.
There is no such good tea set even in the palace."
Although Mu Mansion is the richest man in Linyang, it is still the home of merchants, and Dongfang Hou Mansion should not be above the palace. The best things have always been sent to the palace. Now that Yang Xin said this, it seems like
The things here in Liuyun are better than those paid tribute. If such a thing were to reach the ears of the emperor, it would lead to death.
The eldest lady's face changed slightly and she frowned in confusion. Apparently she was very dissatisfied with the eldest lady of the Yang family's repeated provocations. No matter what, Liu Yun was still the daughter-in-law of their Hou family, Yang Xin said this
, this has also put a big label on the Hou Mansion that goes beyond the rules.
Princess Jintao looked calm, and her eyes fell on the tea set that Yang Xin mentioned. It must be said that the girl was very sharp-eyed. She had been sitting here for so long without noticing this exquisite tea set, but she felt like it.
If you agree with Yang Xin, the tea sets in the palace may not be so exquisite.
However, what surprised them was that Liu Yun burst into laughter, pointed at the Longquan celadon on the table with surprise and said: "Don't you know, Miss Yang, that the largest celadon kiln in Linyang City is my mother's house?"
Yes, I made this tea set with the master of the porcelain kiln last year. This is not Longquan celadon at all. However, I was anxious and the master of the porcelain kiln took it out an hour early. As a result, the color is not as good as usual.
As pure and transparent as celadon.”
This statement made Princess Jintao raise her eyebrows slightly. Probably only the young marquis's wife dared to tell lies in front of the princess. This set was obviously Longquan celadon, but she just said that it was a bad celadon.
.
Liu Yun blinked at Jin Tao and said with a smile: "If the princess likes Longquan celadon, Liu Yun can naturally ask the master in charge of her parents' porcelain kiln to bake a set for the princess in person."
"This is a good idea. My father also likes drinking tea very much, so I want two sets." Jintao nodded and agreed unceremoniously.
It is not an easy task to give something to a princess, and it is even more difficult to ask a princess to ask for something, let alone to give it to the emperor in a grand manner.
"Okay, I'll let you go back to my parents' house later. If my father knows that the princess likes me, he will definitely make the masters pay more attention." After Liu Yun said this, he turned to look at the man standing aside.
Yang Xin said, "If Miss Yang likes it, you can also give Miss Yang a set."
Seeing that she said it so lightly, Yang Xin's face turned red and white, then turned red and red. Finally, she stomped away bitterly. The eldest lady followed her out uneasy.
After she left, Jin Tao said to Liu Yun: "You shouldn't anger her. This girl is spoiled. Even the richest lady in Beijing who angers her will not end well."
Based on their friendship, Liu Yun was flattered that the princess could say such words to her.
"It's better to make her angry all of a sudden if we are in such a shady relationship with her." Ling Wan was very calm and didn't seem to take Yang Xin seriously at all.
In fact, this is indeed the case. In her eyes, the eldest daughter of the Yang family is just spoiled. When she makes a fuss, she is just a master who pretends to be powerful. In the past, she had the Queen Mother and Mr. Yang to support her in the capital, but now she has arrived in Linyang City.
, is just a cat without claws. The so-called beyond reach, it is possible that she can still use the name of the Queen Mother to act evil in Linyang City, thousands of miles away.
However, they have all forgotten that some people are so ignorant that they can never tell the difference between some things they can do and some things they cannot do.
