Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, took a thousand taels of silver and set out on the road. This time he went to Jiangnan.
"Two hundred bamboos?!" Xiao Zhan looked at the bamboo slips with the items he needed to buy and couldn't figure out why Mao needed so much bamboo. Instead of bringing back a hundred bamboo sticks last time, I want another hundred this time: "If you really need that much, just buy some bamboo with roots and grow it yourself."
Xining shook his head: "It takes three to five years for bamboo to grow, and I need it in the near future. This time, the bamboo not only needs to be grown into bamboo, but also small bamboo as thick as a thumb. Bamboo is hollow and can float on the water. It can be dragged directly behind the boat."
Xiao Zhan immediately said: "Will the sea water damage the bamboo, and the bamboo's lifespan will not be long."
In fact, seawater can make bamboo more flexible, but it doesn't matter even if the bamboo soaked in seawater does not last long, she originally only considered the present.
"After it's over, it's autumn, you can start ordering wine." Xining emphasized: "Want strong wine."
At this lotus root banquet, the most outstanding person was naturally Zhang Liao, who was the best in both piano and calligraphy.
Miss Wang's affairs were also spread in various inner houses.
On the contrary, Zhong Shuo, who ranks first in calligraphy and painting, has few people talking about it. The reason is very simple... Jinger replied: "Zhong Shuo is mediocre in appearance!"
To be average-looking means to be average-looking. How average is that? Even if he wears Confucian clothes and walks on the street, he will be lost in the crowd. And Zhang Liao is good-looking. Even if he is wearing white clothes, he still has green mountains and green waters, and his behavior is chic and elegant.
Xining sighed, the world also cares about your face!
Being the county head is really leisurely, not to mention that she, the county head, is very easy-going. As long as they don't help her get into trouble, all the gods and little devils in the whole yard can do whatever they want.
I was leaning on the cushions and listening to a little song. These singing and dancing girls brought by the Qinling Palace were really good, just right to relieve my boredom.
This young singer has a unique flavor when she plays the piano and sings the Songs of Chu.
After singing the song, Xining said hello, and then asked with interest: "How old are you?"
The singer sat there on her knees and said respectfully: "I am already eighteen."
Xining sighed slightly and said: "If my brother is still alive, he should be eighteen years old. Before he knew it, five years have passed."
These were all prepared for the body owner's brother who died early. As a result, the prince died, and no one arranged for these singing and dancing girls to stay in the mansion. Years pass and time is wasted.
The singer didn't know what to say, so she raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes. It means sad!
There are so many singing and dancing girls who spent their prime years of youth and beauty, wasting them by keeping them around. If they were sold, they would just become singing and dancing girls or concubines in other houses.
If they were all packed and sent to the King of Han, there would be many beauties in the palace of the King of Han. At that time, Wang Zhaojun had not been summoned by the king for three years after entering the palace. He entered the palace at the age of 17 and left the fortress at the age of 21.
These beauties are all eighteen years old. According to the standards of this era, they are the leftover women with the tail end of youth. If you are like Wang Zhaojun and wait for two or three years, you will not have so many opportunities to go out and get married. Moreover, getting married was not a good choice. Wang Zhaojun died as a son of a Huns husband, and the son he had with his previous husband also died inexplicably.
It's a bit of a headache, how should I arrange these beauties!
At this time, the concierge sent a message, Miss Wang handed over a greeting card, and came to the door.
Counting the time, just three days after the lotus root feast, Miss Wang came over. She seemed to be a smart person.
"Then please!" Xining put the post aside and said to the side: "Get ready, I will talk a lot today."
After a while, someone outside a nearby window said timidly: "Thank you for the county shirt!"
He He knew that everything she said and did would be monitored.
After a while, Miss Wang came in. Wearing the white-backed blue-patterned skirt she wore at the last banquet, she only had one gold hairpin sold in her store. The curved skirt is also brand new. It must be newly made. It is probably her best skirt. This Wang family is really stingy!
After saluting, Xi Ning asked the spectators to serve tea.
"A few days ago, the Lord of Duomeng County did not give up and liked the paintings of folk girls. The girls painted another one and brought it to the County Lord for advice." Miss Wang brought a calligraphy and painting, but did not bring a maid.
Xining asked Jing'er to get it, and Jing'er took it and unfolded it.
The painting is a portrait of a human being. A Lingbo fairy is flying in the clouds and mist, holding Ruyi in her hand with her ten slender fingers pointing down. Below, a young woman is sitting on her knees, raising her hands in a gesture of receiving Ruyi.
Needless to say, Miss Wang's painting skills are quite good. Although she is not as good as Wu Dai Dangfeng, she is still good. The fairy's eyebrows and eyes were painted according to her appearance, and her clothes were fluttering, giving her a very fairy charm.
It is implied that she is an immortal, and the young woman sitting on her knees is naturally Miss Wang.
The rainbow fart was so loud. Xining smiled and said, "This painting is very good. I didn't expect Miss Wang to have such skill. I don't know who she studied under."
"It's fine if the county master thinks it's okay." Miss Wang said, neither humble nor overbearing: "The daughter of the common people has never had any teachers. Her late mother was also good at painting. When I have nothing to do, I copy the paintings she left."
"That's it!" He is really talented. He can draw so well without a master.
Miss Wang said softly and gracefully: "This painting is like a painting that the county magistrate would not despise, but a daughter of the people would like to dedicate it to the county magistrate."
"Give it to me? Okay! Thank you then." Xining signaled: "Just hang up the painting."
She pointed: "Just hang it there, next to the two paintings."
When Miss Wang saw it, she immediately said: "I can't do it, I can't do it! Those two paintings were painted by famous artists. The painting skills of ordinary women are crude, how can they compare with the famous artists."
"Is that so?" Xining thought for a while and pointed his hand: "Then hang it there, it's empty, then it'll be fine."
Even if there are no paintings there, it shows how proud it is to have your own paintings hanging. Miss Wang immediately fell to the ground and thanked her.
Jing'er looked at the wall: "County Master, there are no nails there. I'll wait for you to find someone to knock nails in first."
"Okay, let's go!" Xining said carelessly, and then asked: "Mr. Wang and others didn't make things difficult for you about the coral, right?"
Miss Wang responded, saying that she was not embarrassed.
In fact, there is no way to speak out if you are embarrassed. You can't go around complaining and saying that your own father has been unfair to you.
Xining asked again: "Then Jin Ruyi is still in your house, hasn't it been taken away?"
