Fu Xiaoguan came to Beijing and Dong Shulan had already informed Yu Wenyun. However, the year was approaching and the royal family also had many affairs. Today, he was going to visit the Queen Mother. Of course, this matter was extremely important. Naturally, Concubine Shang did not allow Yu Wenyun to come early. run out.
Now Yu Wenyun is probably done with her work, but what she said is that there is something urgent... What else could be urgent?
The two of them did not stay in Tingmei for a long time. Fu Xiaoguan only exchanged a few words with Dong Xiude, but Dong Xiude was talking about Liu Yan'er, who had red sleeves.
The beaming look made Dong Shulan want to kick him.
"Okay, okay, after we finish our work in a few days, let's go to Hongxiuzhao and listen to Liu Yan'er singing "Wonderful Ningmei"
The two took a carriage back to Fu Mansion. Yu Wenyun was wearing a red dress and a sable tail, standing alone in Taoran Pavilion, looking at the snow rolling snow on the frozen Xuanwu Lake.
Fu Xiaoguan and Fu Xiaoguan walked over. Yu Wenyun turned around with a smile on his face, but Fu Xiaoguan saw a hint of sadness in that smile.
The three of them sat down, Chunxiu got another basin of charcoal fire, and went to the kitchen to arrange lunch.
“Didn’t you say that your father and your mothers would come?”
"You won't believe it, but my father is really tough. Three months after we got married, all five of my mothers were pregnant. They couldn't bear the bumpy journey, so they had no choice but to stay in Linjiang."
The second daughter's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, but what she was thinking about was... that.
Two stunning beauties, one red and one white, were sitting next to him. Fu Xiaoguan had a strong impulse. He wanted to hold the two girls in his arms, but he still strongly suppressed this idea. After all, There is ample time.
"That's it..." Yu Wenyun also put away his impulse and his expression became serious, "Just two days ago, the Wu Dynasty's envoy in Beijing brought a document stating that the Wu Dynasty will enjoy the Cold Food Festival next year. A world literary gathering will be held in Hanling Temple, and talented people from all over the world are invited to attend. Firstly, it is to celebrate the tenth year of Emperor Wen of the Wu Dynasty's accession to the throne. Secondly, it is the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager of the Wu Dynasty. Thirdly... the literary style of the Wu Dynasty is gradually rising. , but compared with the Yu Dynasty, there was a slight gap. Emperor Wen hoped to use this literary meeting to spur the literati of the Wu Dynasty. Our Yu Dynasty has a quota of 100 people, Fan Guo has a quota of 30 people, Yi Guo only has 20 people, and Huang Guo has only 10 people. ”
When Fu Xiaoguan heard this, he asked: "This has nothing to do with me. Can't I just ask Lord Shangguan Wenxiu to send a hundred students there?"
Dong Shulan gave Fu Xiaoguan a roll of his eyes. Sometimes this person was as smart as anything, and sometimes he was like an idiot. He couldn't even understand the meaning of his words!
Sure enough, Yu Wenyun raised his eyes and looked at Fu Xiaoguan: "The strange thing is that in this document, you are the only one named by name!"
Fu Xiaoguan opened his mouth in surprise, "Does this mean I have to go?"
"It is related to the friendship between the two countries. Since Emperor Wen has called your name, my father will definitely let you go. This is the time to promote the reputation of our Yu Dynasty. In fact, even if Emperor Wen doesn't call your name, I I guess my father will send you there as well. Who told you that you are now the most famous talent in the Yu Dynasty?"
After saying this, Yu Wenyun stared at Fu Xiaoguan resentfully. Fu Xiaoguan was also very innocent at the moment.
This woman is a strange creature. If you were unknown, they would not be interested in you, but if you were too famous, they would be very worried.
Why this document mentioned Fu Xiaoguan's name by name? This matter has puzzled Yu Wenyun for a long time. When he asked his mother and concubine today, she just smiled.
"My mother asked me to invite you and Shulan to have a casual dinner at Dieyi Palace tonight."
Fu Xiaoguan didn't know what was going on here. He must go to Concubine Shang's invitation, but he was really not interested in the Wu Dynasty Cultural Conference.
The Cold Food Festival is one or two days before the Qingming Festival. He has many things to do in Beijing, and Xishan also needs him to communicate in letters. If he goes to the Wu Dynasty, it will be delayed for at least two or three months. The key is this There is no benefit in ruining the matter. In other words, even if the Wenhui wins, the most that His Majesty will do is mention him, a fifth-grade Chaosan doctor.
Well, this seems to be a benefit.
This incident disrupted Fu Xiaoguan's original plan, so he had to change his plan.
Dong Shulan didn’t know much about the affairs of the Wu Dynasty. He only knew that there was a very famous scholar named Wen Xingzhou in the Wu Dynasty. Take a look at the scenery!
This man has been to Jinling and lectured at Jixia Academy for more than a month. He is a truly erudite man. Even Lord Shangguan Wenxiu admires him very much.
Since it is the Wu Dynasty Literary Society, I think Mr. Li will definitely participate, and it is very likely that he will propose the proposal or make the final review.
Dong Shulan then thought again, Fu Xiaoguan's poems and essays are also top-notch in the world. Even Wen Xingzhou can't find fault with Fu Xiaoguan's poems and essays. So it is not a big deal for Fu Xiaoguan to become famous in the Wu Dynasty. .
After lunch, the three of them chatted about their daily life. Fu Xiaoguan handed Dong Shulan the soap and perfume he brought this time. There was not much perfume, but there were several large boxes of soap.
"This thing is for bathing. We have made two scents for the time being. Take a look."
Dong Shulan and Yu Wenyun took the soap and opened the packaging paper and felt it carefully. First of all, it was the fragrance. The one in Dong Shulan's hand was jasmine, and the one in Yu Wenyun's hand was osmanthus. Compared with perfume, The taste is much lighter, and it feels extremely smooth. It is very cold in the cold weather at the moment.
"I don't know what you usually use in bathing. Applying this stuff on your body during bathing can better cleanse the skin and make the skin softer and smoother. In short, you should try it yourself first."
Dong Shulan's eyes lit up. If this thing is really what Fu Xiaoguan said, it will definitely sell well, especially in summer.
"I will ask people to send these things to Tingmei. I will leave two boxes and give some to those noble ladies."
"I will also bring some back to the palace. If it works well, I guess my aunt will be interested. If this item is included in the imperial merchants, it will also have more sales."
Dong Shulan raised his head and asked: "How much does this cost?"
"The cost is roughly five cents."
This thing is made of lard, wood ash, alcohol and diluted essence. The output is very high, and the cost is not expensive.
"We will try it first and then price it."
For this, Fu Xiaoguan completely turned away from the shopkeeper. The perfume, which he originally planned to sell for one tael of silver, was now sold by these two women for ten taels of silver a bottle. It is still out of stock. It is still winter, and it will be even worse if it comes to summer. Incredible.
Fu Xiaoguan decided to take the time to write a letter to his father. The production of perfume must be increased and Yu Zhongtan of the Liulic Shop could produce dozens more sets of utensils.
At the time of Shen, the three of them got up and went to Dieyi Palace.
Concubine Shang is not in the Dieyi Palace, but in the Banyan Pavilion in the back garden.
Banyanxuan has bright windows on all sides, and there is a tea table with calligraphy and a plain Qin and a long sword. When Yu Wenyun and the others came to Banyanxuan under the guidance of Nian Eunuch, Concubine Shang was standing in front of a window, watching the wind. The garden is full of snow.
There is another person sitting next to the tea table. He is the fifth prince Yu Wendao, who is making tea at the moment.
When Fu Xiaoguan came in, he looked up, then smiled at Fu Xiaoguan, then lowered his head to make tea.
This is rock tea collected from the mountain behind Jianlin. It uses fresh snow water. At this moment, smoke gradually rises on the pot. The water has not yet boiled. Yu Wenwen took a spoonful of rock tea and poured it in. Turn down the fire a lot, and then a rich aroma fills your nose.
Fu Xiaoguan stood behind Concubine Shang, bowed respectfully, and said: "Xiao Guan pays homage to Concubine Shang."
Concubine Shang looked away, turned around, and said with a smile: "You are so polite. Come on, sit down. Shulan, come to me."
Yu Wenyun pouted and accompanied Concubine Shang on the left and right. Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Wenjun sat side by side opposite Concubine Shang.
"I was looking at the chrysanthemums in my garden just now. I couldn't see them anymore. They were all covered by the snow... In fact, there was nothing to see. The chrysanthemum stalks under the snow had withered. After a while, I would I pulled them out, but I wanted to collect some of those beautiful petals, but there was no point in thinking about it, so I just let them wither naturally, and now I'm afraid they have turned into the soil."
Yu Daowao poured tea and respectfully handed a cup to Concubine Shang.
"In your Dream of Red Mansions, Daiyu buried flowers three times. I think she is right. She understands flowers and feels that flowers are the cleanest when they fall into the soil. The poem about burying flowers is also very well written. Once the beauty fades, the flowers fall and people die... It's a bit too sad, so I have already expected Lin Daiyu's ending. I don't know why you can write such a story, but what I want to tell you is, This spring may not mean that all the flowers will fall, so just follow me——"
Concubine Shang came to the window again. This time she opened the window. There was a chill coming, but she seemed not to notice it.
"Look, the chrysanthemums I have been waiting for are gone, but if you look at the plum forest, there are already many flower bones. After a while, they will bloom again."
"I am not saying this because I lament the ending of Lin Daiyu. I have just been thinking about a question, you are so sunny, why are you so gloomy in the book? I read this book again these days, and I seem to understand something about you. I have called you here today just to ask you - Daiyu uses flowers to express her will, is this Jia family really that dark and dirty?"
Fu Xiaoguan understood the seemingly boundless words of Concubine Shang. Indeed, the hidden meaning in the dream of Red Mansions was dissatisfaction with the imperial court. The original author implicitly expressed this dissatisfaction through the Jia family.
What others may see is a story about the rise and fall of love between children in the Jia family, but a shrewd person like Concubine Shang naturally understood the meaning.
Fu Xiaoguan bowed and smiled and said: "Actually... I am sunshine, and I will always be sunshine."
Concubine Shang turned to look at Fu Xiaoguan. Fu Xiaoguan added: "It is true that the Jia Mansion is dark and dirty. It can actually not decay. The reason is that it lacks sunlight. When I wrote this book, I did not sink. In the haze, I understood a truth, that is...the sunshine will eventually dispel the darkness, just like this flower, which will always bloom in all seasons."
