Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 78 Fighting for the Front

Lin Yuexin knew that this move of hers might touch the sensitive nerves of many people. After all, to hold such a significant reception in the name of Wufeng in the imperial capital, as the hostess, it is undoubtedly an invitation to the upper class of the imperial capital. Send out a clear and unmistakable signal. This kind of announcement is almost straightforward. Of course Lin Yuexin understands the meaning of it, but the opportunity is not to be missed. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me, who belongs to the latecomer, to stand up to the two mountains that have already stood in front of me. Lin Yuexin doesn't want to compete for favor with anyone, but she also doesn't want to live in a suffocating gap. She just hopes that she can live in the sunshine without restraint, and do what she wants to do according to her own ideas. To do this, you need to have many external conditions. Only in this way can you win the respect of the other party in the future, especially when the other two women have talents and wisdom that are not inferior to your own. Also has a considerable weight.

When the invitation letter from His Royal Highness King Qin quietly passed through the upper class of the imperial capital, almost all eyes in the upper class of the imperial capital were focused on Qingyiyuan without exception. Disappointed, I did not participate in any social activities of the parties in the imperial capital, and never appeared in any public occasions. Except for the occasional appearance in the two negotiations, this time His Highness King Qin is simply a world difference compared to the previous two visits to Beijing The place is so low-key that it is unbelievable that such a person who has never been willing to be lonely can stay in that corner in the west of the city without moving.

However, this time the reception finally revealed that the group representing the power groups in the vast western part of the empire began to make efforts in the social circles of the imperial capital. What surprised everyone was that there would be no one but Situ Yutang and Angel Another mysterious heroine appeared on the stage. The mysterious identity of this heroine made all the celebrities in the upper class of the imperial capital look sideways. They couldn't imagine who would be able to do so without the participation of Situ Yutang and Angel. play such a role. Due to the extraordinarily good secrecy work, this secret was kept secret until the moment the reception started.

The sunny weather in April in the imperial capital delights the sociable elites. This is the most suitable season for holding various receptions, dances and large-scale cultural and entertainment activities. Spring and autumn have always been the time when human activities are the most frequent. Duan, no one will be an exception. At this time, the various private gardens in the imperial capital tend to become the most popular places. People often choose to hold social activities like family nature or relatively narrow scope in their own homes, but, like some more important receptions and dances with more guests, the owner often rents some private gardens with beautiful scenery, elegant environment and large venues. In this way, the private gardens and courtyards in the imperial capital have become the most sought-after places, so that it is important to measure whether a family or individual belongs to the top class of the upper class in the imperial capital. The most important indicator is to see whether it has a decent private garden.

Both Qingyi Garden and Fengze Garden are undoubtedly the best among private gardens. If Fengze Garden is a typical representative of traditional Tang-style gardens, then Qingyi Garden is a perfect masterpiece combining east and west. Qingyiyuan is located in a low-lying wetland in the south and west of the city, many of which used to belong to the swamp area. Even after decades of the establishment of the imperial capital, there are still no people living here, but such a piece of wetland is obviously not in the city. It is very suitable for the development of the city. Since the 76th year of the founding of the Tanghe Empire, the Imperial Construction Administration and the Imperial Capital Construction Department have successively started to renovate this land, draining some areas of waterlogged water, transporting dry soil to fill, and some The area was preserved to form a lake, and gradually the land was rehabilitated and turned into flat land. It took more than 30 years to complete this remediation project, opening up tens of thousands of acres of urban land, which greatly promoted the development of the southern part of the imperial capital. .

The development of such a large piece of land inevitably attracted the attention of all parties in the empire at that time. Through various means, the privileged classes of the empire either bought it at a low price or used other means to expropriate the land that originally belonged to the empire. The land directly under the General Administration of Construction has been divided up over 10,000 mu in a few decades, while the land retained by the central empire is less than 2,000 mu. And these privileged classes wantonly built luxury mansions and mansions after acquiring these lands. At the time when the empire was at its peak, many nobles were arty, and building private gardens became the most fashionable way to fight for wealth at that time. Tang style, Tian way, Private gardens of various styles such as Lania style and mixed style emerged one after another and became a highlight at that time. It is one of the bright pearls.

Qingyiyuan was designed and built by the family of the imperial finance minister at that time, who hired architects of two different styles from the Western Continent and the Empire. In the eastern half dominated by water, the Lania-style buildings dominated by large neat green spaces and colonnade gardens are concentrated in the western half. The two take a central axis, and a spacious marble-paved bridge The corridors are separated to achieve a perfect unity.

The entire building complex has not suffered much damage after hundreds of years. Almost every owner has taken care of and repaired the garden after taking over for hundreds of years, which has also made Qingyiyuan a famous garden abroad. The Weng family represented by the current owner, Tong Lu, can be regarded as a family with a long history in the imperial capital. Not only is the Weng family well-connected in the imperial court, the eldest son of the Weng family, Weng Gongzhi, is now the director of the circulation department of the Imperial Commerce Department. Zi Weng Gongqu assisted his father in managing the business of the Weng family. The Weng family not only operates a large-scale cotton and linen textile industry in Zhongzhou, but is also the most famous silk dealer in the imperial capital, controlling more than 20% of the silk business in the imperial capital. In the hands of the Weng family, the business of cotton and linen fabrics accounted for 30% of the business. Dozens of cloth shops and silk and satin shops were located in prominent positions in the east, west, north, south, and central districts of the imperial capital, demonstrating the extraordinary status of the Weng family in the industry. Weng Tonglu is also the executive director of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce, and has a decisive influence in the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce. This year, he is even more ambitious to run for the vice chairman of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce.

Since the Weng family has a very close relationship with the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River, they naturally climbed up the line of Western Xinjiang, especially in the silk industry in Jincheng, Kansai, and Hanzhong, where the industry and commerce in the south of the Yangtze River collapsed due to the war. After taking advantage of the opportunity to rise, the source of silk of the Weng family had to rely on the territory of Western Xinjiang to a greater extent. It was naturally the top priority of the Weng family to make friends with those in charge of Western Xinjiang. When it was time to use it, the Weng family almost nodded and bowed in agreement with this almost gift-like request, and even insisted that all the expenses of the reception be borne by the Weng family, but this request was flatly rejected by the Xijiang side.

Wufeng looked out of the window with a complicated expression. After some modification, Lin Yuexin's softness and tenderness revealed from the bottom of his bones are enough to impress any man with a hard heart, and he is of course no exception. Pure beauty can only be described as "clear water comes out of hibiscus", and it is a kind of obscenity in other languages. But Wufeng saw the stubbornness, perseverance and quiet wisdom hidden behind Yuexin from the pure beauty and softness on the surface. Lin Yuexin is not an ordinary girl, not only in identity, but also in experience and knowledge. She will not be willing to stand behind the scenes all the time, this has always been what Wufeng is most worried about~IndoMTL.com~ The discord between Situ Yutang and Angel's face and heart has already given Wufeng a headache, plus it is no less than two The female Lin Yuexin, Wufeng didn't know what these girls who were as good as any man in the battle of wits would bring to his life.

Lin Yuexin seemed to be explaining something to a few servants, and sometimes she invited two officials from the Foreign Affairs Bureau who were in charge of reception to arrange something. Her focused expression and gentle smile made people feel that she had completely devoted herself to the hostess. in this role. With a slight sigh, when Situ Tai and Situ Biao couldn't wait to launch a social offensive, both Su Qin and Wang Liao had proposed to themselves to expand the influence of Western Xinjiang by holding some social activities. The master evaded it on the grounds, and when Lin Yuexin took the initiative to ask Ying to take on the role of the hostess, Wufeng knew that he could not be sloppy on this issue.

Rejection is undoubtedly a denial of Lin Yuexin's identity, and it will cause serious spiritual damage to Lin Yuexin. It is impossible for Wufeng to do this anyway, but once he agrees, it will undoubtedly be a tribute to the imperial capital and even the empire. The high society and even the entire empire have stated that Lin Yuexin will also be Li Wufeng's concubine. This is undoubtedly somewhat unfair to Situ Yutang and Angel who are far away in the western border, and it will easily cause conflicts among several people. But in this case, he can only agree first and take a step forward, without caring about what will happen in the future.

With this mentality, Wufeng didn't ask too much about this matter. Everything was left to Lin Yuexin, Su Qin and the others. He only hoped that this reception could achieve the expected purpose, after all Situ Yuan's ascension to the throne was imminent, and he didn't have many chances to stay in the imperial capital. Once the enthronement ceremony was over, he was afraid that when he left Beijing and returned to his hometown, the battle horn with Situ Tai would also sound.
