The most buzz in the circle recently, apart from the internal fighting within the Xiao Group, is the banquet with a huge fortune.
After six years, Wen Xinya heard about the Qianjin Banquet again.
What surprised Wen Yanya was that Boya Xuan was obviously going to hold a grand banquet this time.
In the upper class society, there were countless unmarried women who received the invitation. Any woman from a scholarly family, a wealthy family, or a woman with a little talent was qualified to participate in this grand event.
Wen Xinya even heard that the mysterious owner of Boya Xuan personally invited several talented and virtuous people from the upper class to co-host the banquet.
It is completely different from Boyaxuan's previous style of not showing any mountains and rivers.
Wen Xinya keenly felt that there was something strange about this matter.
However, both Boya Xuan and its owner are mysterious figures in the capital. Wen Xinya couldn't guess what the owner of Boya Xuan's intention was in holding a grand banquet.
Fortunately, Boyaxuan and she had no conflicts or contradictions, so Wen Xinya couldn't guess Boyaxuan's intentions and didn't pay any more attention to it.
"Boyaxuan held a banquet worth thousands of gold coins, stirring up trouble in the capital. It seems that the capital will not be peaceful in the future."
The owner of Boya Xuan has been running the Qianjin Banquet for many years. Because of the Qianjin Banquet, Boya Xuan has an extraordinary status in the upper class of Beijing and is respected and admired. He has a huge network of connections, covering almost all the wealthy families.
Almost all the ladies who have participated in the Thousand Gold Banquet have some relationship or involvement with Boya Xuan.
The most typical examples are Tang Weixiao and Zhou Huiyan, who relied on the lavish banquet to stand out in the upper class society of Beijing and become famous.
And it was thanks to the Qianjin Banquet that Xinya earned the reputation of being a master of four arts.
One can imagine how much of an impact the grand banquet hosted by Boyaxuan would have on the upper class society.
Wen Xinya's mind moved: "Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"
Grandpa seems to know more about the owner of Boyaxuan and Qianjinyan.
"Since the Thousand Gold Banquet was held, Boyaxuan has only held a Thousand Gold Banquet once, and that was the one with Tang Xiaowei and Zhou Huiyan. Because Tang Xiaowei and Zhou Huiyan shined at the Thousand Gold Banquet, Boyaxuan's reputation spread completely, establishing Boyaxuan's transcendent status in the capital. Since then, Boyaxuan has completely fallen silent, but the name of the Thousand Gold Banquet has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. This time, Boyaxuan is holding a Thousand Gold Banquet again, probably with the intention of reviving its former reputation."
Mr. Wen has lived for most of his life.
We can more or less guess that Boya Xuan's grand banquet may have other intentions.
Wen Xinya also said: "It seems that this Qianjin Banquet may not be that simple."
She became more and more curious about Boyaxuan and planned to call Aunt Zhou later to ask about the details of her participation in the Qianjin Banquet.
"Miss, there is a man outside who calls himself Mr. Qin from Boya Xuan, and he is here to visit you with a visiting card from the owner of Boya Xuan!"
Wen Xinya and Old Man Wen looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
This is, Speak of Cao Cao, here comes Cao Cao!
"Since I'm here to visit you, I'll go to the study first." Old Master Wen stood up and went straight upstairs.
Wen Xinya ordered the servant: "Please ask him to come in!"
Wen Xinya was really surprised that someone from Boya Xuan would come to visit and even bring a visiting card. Nowadays, no one uses visiting cards anymore.
Soon, the servant led a woman in her forties, wearing a black satin cheongsam embroidered with red peonies, into the living room.
This person turned out to be someone Wen Xinya knew.
He was one of the judges when Wen Xinya attended the Qianjin Banquet six years ago.
"Miss Wen, I haven't seen you for six years. How have you been?" Mr. Qin was the first to greet Wen Xinya. She was not pretty, but she had a charming face with a gentle and kind smile.
Wen Xinya said politely: "I didn't know you were here in person. Please forgive me for coming to greet you in person. Please take a seat!"
This person can serve as a judge for the Qianjin Banquet. It can be imagined that her status in Boyaxuan must be extraordinary, and she naturally deserves her courtesy.
Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Miss Wen, you are too polite. I came here today to accept the invitation of the Qianjin Banquet entrusted by the owner of the pavilion. I specially invite Miss Wen to attend the Qianjin Banquet and serve as a judge."
After saying that, she handed a pink invitation to Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya was stunned, and forgot to take the invitation in front of her for a moment. She said in a panic: "Thank you for your kindness, Master Xuan. The Qianjin Banquet is such a grand event. Xinya is not talented enough to be a judge."
Wen Xinya was extremely shocked.
What was the owner of Boya Xuan's intention in inviting her to be a judge at the Qianjin Banquet
"Miss Wen, there is no need to belittle yourself. Everyone in the capital knows that you have inherited Mr. Mo's true teachings. Six years ago, you won the first prize at the Qianjin Banquet with your talents in the four arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You deserve the title of a talented woman. I hope Miss Wen will not refuse."
Mr. Qin held the invitation in his hand and did not take it back.
Wen Xinya was a little embarrassed: "Master Xuan really thinks too highly of me..."
Boya Xuan was so kind that Wen Xinya couldn't refuse for a moment.
However, after talking about the Thousand Gold Banquet with her grandfather before, she did not want to attend the Thousand Gold Banquet and wade into this muddy water.
"Miss Wen, you are not only famous for your talent in the capital, but also known as one of the two beauties in the capital. It is highly anticipated that you will be the judge of Boya Pavilion. If you can attend the Qianjin Banquet in the name of Miss Wen, it will surely become a good story. Please don't let the Pavilion Master down."
Mr. Qin seemed determined not to give up until he had convinced her.
It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. At this point, Wen Xinya seemed to have no reason to refuse.
In the final analysis, the names of the two beauties in the capital are overlapping.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Master Xuan. In that case, I will accept the invitation."
Wen Xinya hesitated for a moment, but still took the invitation. The pink invitation was quite delicate. In the middle of the invitation, there were peach blossoms that were dazzling to the eyes, and one could faintly smell the floral fragrance from the invitation.
Mr. Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face deepened. "Master Xuan attaches great importance to this Qianjin Banquet and has invited many old friends from the Qianjin Banquet, including Teacher Zhou Huiyan. If you refuse Master Xuan's invitation, I really don't know how to explain to Master Xuan."
Wen Xinya was secretly surprised, but she didn't show it at all. She asked nonchalantly, "As far as I know, Qianjinyan has never been very prominent in the upper class society and only makes its name known in certain circles. Why is it so grand this time?"
Is it true, as my grandfather said, that Boya Xuan has other plans
Wen Xinya's words were tentative.
"It was the master of the pavilion who decided to hold a grand banquet, and we don't know the rest." Mr. Qin answered without revealing a single word.
Wen Xinya did not continue to ask, and said politely: "Mr. Lao Qin came here specially."
