The Liyuan is one of the eight scenic spots in the state capital, and it belongs to the property of King Jiajun. Prince Qi Ruining of Jiajun is the eldest son of King Jin, who is twenty-five years old. The King of Jin is the son of the late Emperor Shukang, the current emperor. Therefore,
Prince Jiajun calls the current emperor his uncle, as he is a true relative of the emperor.
Qingzhou is the fiefdom of the King of Jin. It can be said that the Qingzhou Mansion belongs to Prince Jiajun and his father. If Beiyuan is said to be the property of Prince Jiajun, Tian Minyan also believes it, although Fang Xian said otherwise.
In fact, it doesn't matter anymore. In short, everyone knows that Beiyuan is protected by Prince Jiajun.
While Tian Minyan was digesting the information that Fang Xian had given them as a temporary fix, she raised the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. She saw one after another gorgeous carriages stopping outside a tall courtyard wall. People were greeting each other and talking to each other.
Bring it in with you.
Their carriage walked a few steps and then stopped. They thought they had arrived. Fang Xian's voice soon sounded outside the carriage, saying that they had arrived.
Tian Minyan was helped out of the car by Bai Mei. Different from the careless people who attended banquets in the past, Tian Minyan covered her face with a gauze tonight, covering half of her face, only revealing her eyes. She saw that the carriage next to her was also wearing a veil.
The gorgeous lady got out of the car, also dressed like this.
Tian Minyan took a look at herself, wearing a pink pomegranate and butterfly flowered scholar's coat, a light cyan dark flower cross-neck jacket, a concubine-colored embroidered red plum skirt, and a moon-colored satin embroidered magnolia butterfly pattern jacket.
The circle of white hair on her collar made her face slim and fair. Because she was not yet an adult, her hair was still tied into a bun, and she wore a beaded flower hairpin and no other too many jewelry.
They didn't come back to the state capital for a banquet. This was a complete accident. How could Tian Minyan bring any jewelry? Fang Xian had prepared this outfit. He was originally going to give it to Liang Yin.
Tian Minyan was not prepared, and it was too late to make further arrangements, so she gave way first.
After hearing that it was Liang Yunyin, Tian Minyan naturally resisted in every possible way. Later, he said that he would not let anyone go to Liaoning for a while, and he would just buy it again, so she gave up. Even so, Tian Minyan still asked about the price.
She wanted to convert the money to him. Fang Xian also knew that she had a stubborn temper, so he casually mentioned a number, but he didn't know if it was the real number.
"Brother Fang, is it possible that the county princess also invited the county prince to the wine tasting party?" Tian Minyan asked quietly.
"Why do you ask?" Fang Xian blinked, very strange.
"There are many ladies and ladies here." She looked forward and saw a pair of ladies who looked like mother and daughter had already entered the opera garden.
"You don't know, but this pear garden is also one of the eight scenic spots in the state capital. The peach, plum, and plum blossoms planted inside can be called a sea of flowers. When it snows, the winter scenery is what makes people linger."
Fang Xian said with a smile: "This is also the arrangement of the Liyuan. To avoid any misunderstandings with female guests, the banquet place will be separate from the male guests. That's why I said that I don't want to cling to the powerful, so I only come here for dinner."
It’s also a good place to play.”
That's how it is.
Tian Minyan nodded and looked understanding.
"Brother Fang."
At this time, someone shouted from the front left. Tian Minyan looked over and saw two people wearing long robes walking over with arms folded. One had his hair tied up in a cloth scarf and the other wore a jade crown.
Tian Minyan knew that this should be the classmate invited by Fang Xian, so she just nodded lightly to them, then stood with Tian Minrui, Fang Yu and others, and after meeting, they walked towards the Liyuan.
After handing over the post, the servants led him to the place where they were enjoying the wine and banquet. Only after walking along the way did Tian Minyan understand what true wealth is.
There are glazed palace lanterns hanging everywhere, pavilions and flowing water, winding paths, rockeries, and small boats on the lake. Although it is winter, all kinds of flowers and trees are still evergreen, some of which Tian Minyan can't even name. It's like a garden.
Those who manage it need to form a big team, right?
Following the boy walking on the winding path, countless palace lanterns illuminated the huge garden like daylight. Tian Minyan looked at it and praised it. Fang Xian was really right. This place is really a good place, a huge back garden.
The place for enjoying wine is located in Liju. I heard that there are two acres of pear trees. When Tian Minyan entered, it was a boundless view. Deep in Liju, someone could hear voices. As he approached, the winding water flowed into the wine glass.
, there were already many people laughing and chatting there, some were absent-minded, as if waiting for something.
"Master Fang, these ladies..." After the young man brought the people there, he looked at Tian Minyan who was hiding behind Fang Xian and said hesitantly: "The ladies' banquet is in the West Garden. You see...
"
Tian Minyan was stunned for a moment and looked over. They were all men. Sure enough, men and women were separated as Fang Xian said.
Fang Xian was a little hesitant. Tian Minyan was still a child and she was not familiar with this place. He was also a child, so it was okay to be together. However, when Tian Minyan was dressed up, she was tall, thin, slender, and quite...
She looks a bit like a girl, and she doesn't look like one when she's with such a large group of men, so she can't help but feel hesitant.
Tian Minyan saw what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, you and your brother are playing here. I'll go to the female guests. Anyway, I'm just walking away. After the banquet, you can come to my family again."
No problem."
"Can you do it by yourself? How about brother accompany you?" Tian Minrui was a little nervous, fearing that she, a girl, would suffer in this place.
"It's okay, aren't there Bai Mei and Qiu Ju accompanying me?" Tian Minyan smiled. Qiu Ju is a girl from the Fang family, and Fang Yu specially brought her out for Tian Minyan's command.
"Be smart and send someone to find something." Fang Yu glanced at her and said, then smiled and said to the boy: "Brother, please take my sister there. It's her first time here.
Let's find a girl to take care of her." He said and stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
The boy squeezed the silver piece in his hand, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Fang. No one in our Liyuan dares to have such bad intentions. I will take the young lady over here. Please come this way."
Tian Minyan nodded to a few people and took a deep look at Tian Minrui. The latter understood and gave her a reassuring look, and then she left with the two girls.
We agreed before we came here that we are not interested in clinging to the rich and powerful, so we are here to experience, listen and see more. Sometimes you can get a lot of information from the conversations of these people. If you can know someone, that's it.
Well, if you can't, there's no need to grovel.
The West Garden is not far from the Pear House, and it only takes two cups of tea to walk. It is also full of pear trees, but there are only a few houses here, presumably for female guests to change clothes and rest.
The pavilion was as bright as day, and before I even got closer, I heard bursts of sweet laughter.
The pavilion here is a bit more charming, with white jade gauze, a harp and a zheng, but you can't feel much chill. When you get closer, the ground is a little warm, and the boy said that there is a fire pit under the ground.
What a treat!
Tian Minyan couldn't help but was speechless. She set up a fire pit in the garden pavilion. This was simply a waste of money. The royal family was not ordinary rich.
"Hey, which family are you from? Why do you look so unfamiliar?" A girl wearing pink clothes came to Tian Minyan and asked with her big eyes open.
Tian Minyan smiled faintly: "My surname is Tian and I come from Qingping County. It's not surprising that this sister looks unfamiliar to me."
"Qingping County, no wonder."
"Qingping County is far away, and there isn't much to do. My surname is Tian, and I haven't heard of any big family with this surname." Another girl wearing pink clothes came over. She was about 14 or 15 years old.
Years old, with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, he looked up and down at Tian Minyan with some arrogance.
Tian Minyan smiled lightly and said, "My family is just a humble family."
"That's it." The girl in pink clothes snorted lightly, pulled the girl in pink clothes and said: "Sister Tan, let's go over there and look at the lights. Really, when did everyone let in this opera garden?
It’s out of style.”
Her voice was neither high nor low, but it was enough for the people in the pavilion to hear clearly. Some people pointed at Tian Minyan and laughed secretly.
After hearing this, Bai Mei's face sank and she took a step forward. Tian Minyan hurriedly waved her hand and tilted her head slightly as a warning, and Bai Mei took a step back.
Tian Minyan felt that there was nothing to fight about. It was a fact that her background was not high, but she did not feel inferior because of it, and there was no need to compete with these people who considered themselves high-ranking. She was just here for a visit.
, turned around, but it was just a stranger.
She glanced at the people in the pavilion. Some were disdainful, some were contemptuous, and some were contemptuous. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she thought to herself that this place is not a place where she can stay, so she said to the two girls: "We
Let's go for a walk over there." After that, he turned around.
"I heard that there is a Tian family in Qingping County who received an award from the emperor for raising fish in that rice field, but is this sister's family?"
Cai'er turned around, and another voice came over. Tian Minyan turned around, saw that person, and secretly praised her, she is such a beauty.
She is sixteen years old, with creamy skin, wearing a princess-colored dress, a green satin belt around her waist, and a mutton-fat white jade skirt. She has half of her green silk hair, the other half is draped over her shoulders, and she wears a
A red gold filigree inlaid with ruby buds, a pair of watery phoenix eyes, a high bridge of the nose, a small cherry mouth, ruddy and lustrous, attractive.
Look at the way she walks, with her hands folded on her chest, and the skirt of her skirt barely swaying as she walks. She is full of nobility and is obviously the standard style of a lady.
"The Lord of Hui'an County." When the woman in pink clothes saw this woman, she hurriedly ran over to salute her.
The county head? Tian Minyan was stunned. Seeing that everyone in the pavilion came to salute one after another, she had no choice but to follow suit and bless her body.
"No gift." The head of Hui'an County raised his hand, then looked at Tian Minyan and asked with a smile: "This sister hasn't answered me yet, but is she the Tian family who has been commended by the emperor?"
"Back to the county master, it's my family." Tian Minyan replied with a smile.
"Then that MSG is yours too?"
Tian Minyan was stunned and said with a smile: "Yes."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the crowd started whispering to each other, and even more eyes were cast on Tian Minyan.
"That thing is really good. Come and tell me how your family makes it?" After hearing this, the county magistrate of Hui'an cordially took her hand and walked to the pavilion.
Tian Minyan lowered her head and saw that under the light, her hands were white and very soft. She was obviously a pampered person.
Since he is the head of the county, even if he is not a relative of the royal family, he is still very favored by his family because of his status. I just don’t understand why she is so enthusiastic about a peasant girl like me?
Under the envious gazes of everyone, Tian Minyan was pulled into the pavilion to talk to the county lord.
Of course, regarding the county owner's question, she couldn't tell the details of the production process of MSG. After all, it was her own business. She only said that it was the essence extracted from seaweed in the sea.
The head of Hui'an County obviously understood her concerns and did not ask in detail. He changed the topic and asked other questions. Seeing that she answered appropriately, neither deliberately trying to please nor feeling humble, as if she was talking to a very ordinary person.
It makes people feel comfortable for no reason, which is much better than these flattering people, and I feel a little more happy.
"That means, Miss Tian, your family used to be a farmer?" The girl in pink clothes pretended to be surprised and interjected, with pure contempt in her words.
Before Tian Minyan could say anything, the head of Hui'an County spoke first: "So what about those who farm? Miss Xia seemed to be very disdainful of what she meant. Our great ancestor of the Yuan family also came from a farming background. Food is the most important thing for the people, and crops are a country.
The foundation of strength. Without farmers farming, there would be no prosperity in our southern country." She said, glancing at the pink girl with phoenix eyes, and said coldly: "Miss Xia, even the rice and food you eat every day are all.
It was grown by farmers. And, I remember, Miss Xia, your family is just a businessman."
Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen were ranked at the bottom. What Hui'an County Governor meant was that Miss Xia's family was not as good as a farmer.
Miss Xia couldn't understand such ridicule. At that moment, her face turned red and white. Seeing everyone's eyes falling on her, she felt ashamed. Tears welled up in an instant. She pursed her lips, but did not dare to say anything to Hui'an County.
When the Lord loses his temper, who would let others have a higher status than himself?
Tian Minyan had no idea that Hui'an would stand up for her. Why, this was the first time they met, wasn't it?
But she didn't know that the Taizu of Hui'an County was also a farmer. He got lucky because he saved the Taizu of the Southern Kingdom. Later, his son, Grandpa Zeng of Hui'an, became a Jinshi, and his family gradually fell into the favor of the emperor.
In Hui'an's generation, she has five brothers, three of whom are military generals, which is even worse. Her father was granted the title of Marquis of the opposite sex, and she is the only girl in the family, so she is extremely favored in the family.
Hui'an is a person who dares to love and hate. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Even though she looks like a lady, she is also a very casual person. As for Tian Minyan, although she comes from a low background, her own temperament is
His arrogance and tenacity are hard to ignore.
This relationship between people is just a predestined relationship. They are all random people, just like magnets, they naturally attract each other.
Therefore, Hui'an made no secret of his love for Tian Minyan and said in front of everyone: "You are very good, let's be friends."
