In the capital, a Mingxiang Garden has recently emerged.
For a time, the literati were all honored to be able to get a greeting card from Mingxiang Garden.
The layout in Mingxiang Garden is simple and elegant, not luxurious.
However, there are hanging paintings and calligraphy, pavilions, flowing water, mountains and rocks.
It just often holds some elegant activities from time to time, which attracts people to participate.
For example, drinking wine and tasting tea. The good stories spread from Mingxiang Garden are that Songhua makes wine and spring water makes tea.
Listen to the rain and burn incense. What spread was that the small building was filled with despair as it listened to the rain.
Look at the moon and enjoy the flowers. What flows out is that the moon hangs in Chang'an, and the flowers bloom in the capital.
Meditate, play chess. They all became highly praised by the noble families. The Zen room was surrounded by flowers and trees, and the lanterns and lanterns were played while I was playing chess pieces.
A courtyard can be turned into a popular place in the capital where scholars can make friends. Only Mr. Bingwen of Wentian Pavilion could do it.
Bingwen was playing chess with Xie Jiming in the backyard at this time.
Occasionally, when I have some free time, I look at the lively music and music in the front hall, and I can't help but feel proud.
When he received Xia Chu's handwritten letter yesterday, he opened it and found that the letter mentioned that he was asked to find something for the four of them to do in Beijing, and he couldn't help but smile. Xia Chu's intention reminded him of something.
The four of them have finished their scientific examination, and there is still more than a month before the results are released.
Bingwen was bored watching them stay in the inn every day.
They simply bought a large courtyard in the city so that they could move out of the inn.
Secondly, he wanted to turn this place into a holy place for scholars in Beijing.
After finishing Prince Jing's business, there was no shortage of money.
The money was generous, and it was also equipped with a complete set of servants and maids. He personally went to the Pup Market to select them one by one. They were all young boys and girls with good looks and could be cultivated slowly.
After buying the yard, he began to slowly prepare for literary activities.
Now, he brought up a boy in his courtyard again, named Jiao Shi and took him with him.
And Sang Yi can already be alone on the second floor to receive regular customers.
If you hear anything happens in Tiange, just come and let him know.
For the time being, he focused all his energy on Ming Xiangyuan, and that stinky rock Xie Jiming would not participate. The other three people were quite enthusiastic and discussed with him enthusiastically.
After deciding on these activities, he went to visit the brothel again.
Li Xinlan has already cultivated a caring girl named Yuqiao. Every time, she takes Yuqiao to the private room on the top floor to play the piano for Bingwen, while Li Xinlan and Bingwen discuss matters in the inner room.
Bingwen went to Yixiang Tower this time to let Li Xinlan spread the news about Mingxiangyuan.
With the spread of Yixianglou and Yinweizhai, a Mingxiang Garden gradually emerged in the capital.
At first, everyone came here because of its reputation.
Slowly, they came in droves.
But more than half a month.
Nowadays, it is hard to find one...
Bing Wenzheng and Ji Ming were playing chess when they suddenly heard the cry of an eagle.
He hurriedly stood up and asked Xie Jiming to stay for a while, and then he would come back.
Bingwen was puzzled. He only received Xia Chu's souvenir yesterday. Why is it still there today
Something must have happened. He was anxious, so he walked a little faster and entered the study alone.
Bian Hao showed up and handed the letter to him before retreating.
He hurriedly opened the letter and took a look. It turned out that he was just checking the details of a person.
The letter explained that the Hou Mansion and Yixianglou were notified to investigate a person named Guo Weidong. Now this person is serving as a major general in the Zhao family army in Hanyang City. Everyone who has been in contact with him since he was a child must have his life experience checked. He must dig out the bottom of the three generations of his ancestors, and he must do it quickly.
He walked to the desk, sat down, and wrote a letter.
After the pen and ink were dry, he called Jiao Shi in and asked him to deliver the letter to Su Qian'anna and bring it back to the Hou Mansion.
Bingwen shook his robe, left the study, and continued to play chess with Jie Jiming.
But tonight it seems that I have to listen to Miss Yuqiao playing the piano again...
In the Xiahou Mansion, the servants all knew that the Marquis was in a very good mood these past two days.
Because when I saw Mr. Hou these two days, he had a smile on his face.
After Su Qian'an returned home, she went directly to Hengwu Courtyard and handed Bingwen's letter to the Marquis.
After reading the letter, the Marquis shouted to Cong Ting: "This boy just sent me a letter yesterday to coax me, and today he sent someone to ask me to do something for him."
"A letter from the young master? Didn't it just come yesterday?" Cong Ting asked suspiciously.
"He asked Bingwen to convey it. Go and check the person in the letter." The Marquis handed the letter to Cong Ting.
Cong Ting responded yes and went down to do some errands.
The Marquis returned to the desk and picked up Xia Chu's letter from yesterday.
His fingers rubbed the last sentence, "Thinking of it day and night," for a long time. Lao Huai was pleased and still had a smile on his lips.
The Marquis was still concerned.
I'm always worried about him.
The miserable life in the army, I wonder if Yunyi is living well and whether she can adapt to it.
In Yongning Hall, Xiao Zimu was pleasantly surprised when he received Xia Chu's reply.
He didn't expect Xia Chu to reply.
When the Marquis sent someone to deliver it, he thought it was a letter from the Marquis to him.
After unfolding it, the familiar wild grass in his hand gave him a warm feeling in his heart.
In the letter, Xia Chu also liked the unsuccessful article he mentioned. He expounded his feelings and thoughts, and believed that students who can write this article will definitely become a generation of officials in the Xiao Kingdom in the future. They must be named on the gold list and be reused in the future.
Xiao Zimu felt happy, thinking that the hero had the same view.
He had this intention in sealing the test paper separately at that time. Such an article that should be in the top three almost fell into obscurity.
He was like a child who found a treasure, eager to share this joy with others, so he wrote the letter to Xia Chu. Xia Chu's reply also gave him a strong sense of identity.
For a moment, we felt more sympathy for each other.
Xiao Zimu took up his pen and began to write a letter to Xia Chu. This time, the content was no longer a one-sided statement, but also contained some words waiting for his reply.
In addition to the trivial matters in the palace and the boredom of marking papers. I heard that a Mingxiang Garden has opened outside the palace. It is quite elegant. I really want to invite Xia Chu to go and take a look...
Xiao Zimu handed the letter to Xin Ya and sent it out.
Count the days again.
The last time I wrote to Xia Chu was on March 5th, and now I received a reply on March 11th.
So it stands to reason that the next reply should be received on the 17th.
He was calculating silently in his mind.
Suddenly I feel that life is not so difficult anymore...
