Kyoto has been known as the best place since ancient times.
The ancient city is bustling and lively, with endless shops and busy traffic.
Looking out through the car window, I found that the prosperity in front of me was ten times more prosperous than Yunmeng.
Jiang Han couldn't help but think of Liu Yong's poem: Smoked willows painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and hundreds of thousands of homes.
The city is lined with pearls, the households are full of luxury goods, and the luxury is high.
The Qin family has an imperial Ningguo Mansion in Kyoto, which is more majestic and magnificent than the Ningguo Mansion in Yunmeng.
After all, the word "imperial" means that the emperor ordered it to be built, and its specifications and grades are higher.
Qin Zhong is the hereditary Duke of Ning, and the Duke of Ning was also the founding hero of the country.
After Qin Zhong moved to Yunmeng, no one lived in this Imperial Ningguo Mansion, all the servants and maids were sent away, the door was locked, and it was desolate.
Butler Qin took out the key from his arms and unlocked it. Jiang Han walked inside and saw the towering pavilions and halls inside, and even a large garden with green trees, fragrant flowers, rockeries and flowing water.
"It's more luxurious than the Qin Mansion in Yunmeng!" Jiang Han grinned and couldn't help but sigh.
Butler Qin went out to hire a few old ladies to clean the room, leaving Jiang Han and the eldest daughter alone while the second daughter went shopping by herself.
Yun'er helped the second young lady to a boudoir to rest, while Jiang Han took the opportunity to tour the mansion.
It has to be said that this mansion is so big that Jiang Han actually got lost after walking in. He walked around several times before walking out.
Jiang Hanxin said that it was no wonder that Grandma Liu got lost when she entered the Grand View Garden.
After coming out, he walked around the street again, and soon discovered that Ningguo Mansion and Chengguo Mansion were not far away.
Ning Guo Mansion is on the west side of the street, and Cheng Guo Mansion is on the east side of the street. It's just a few steps away.
But unlike Ning Guo Mansion's neglect, Cheng Guo Mansion had people coming in and out from time to time.
Recalling that Hong Yuan had said that Duke Cheng Guo seemed to have some opinions on him, and that Cheng Guo Mansion had done nothing after the incident in Ning Guo Mansion, Jiang Han smiled and returned to Ning Guo Mansion.
When they returned to Ningguo Mansion, someone came to the door and said that the eldest young master of the Ning family knew that Qin Muqing had brought Jiang Han to Kyoto and was holding a banquet in Chunxiang Garden, so he must invite them to the banquet.
In fact, since Jiang Han and Qin Muqing stepped into Kyoto, many people knew about it, but most of them stayed put. Only the Ning family sent people over.
Qin Zhong explained that the head of the Ning family was Qin Muqing's uncle. The Ning family had two sons. The eldest son Ning Lang once ranked third in the provincial examination, and the second son Ning Ya also ranked tenth in the provincial examination the year before last. So this It's best to go to the banquet and get to know each other.
Qin Muqing actually didn't want to go. She had been away from Kyoto for too long and had nothing to talk about with the two cousins. Moreover, she couldn't even remember what those two cousins looked like.
However, the servants of the Ning family have been trying their best to invite her to the banquet.
Miss Qin looked at Jiang Han and said lazily: "Jiang Han, come with me."
Jiang Han hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay!"
Originally, he planned to bring two poems to meet Master Zhongli to strengthen the relationship between master and disciple, but Qin Muqing asked him to accompany him, could he still refuse?
The second young lady had originally planned to take a rest, but when she heard that her brother-in-law and sister were going out, she decided to go with them.
"Second Miss, you are weak, why don't you stay at home," Jiang Han said.
Although she stopped while walking along the way, the second lady still coughed loudly when she was slightly affected by the wind, and she looked thinner.
"Brother-in-law, you called me Second Miss again..." Qingyan corrected her and said softly: "I just need to take some medicine before I go."
Jiang Han still can't figure out what kind of illness Qin Qingyan has, and he always looks sick. After all, his profession in his previous life was not that of a doctor.
Seeing what she said, Butler Qin didn't object, so Jiang Han had no choice but to say, "Okay then!"
…
At night, the lanterns come on in Chunxiang Garden.
Ning Lang and Ning Ya were sitting in the pavilion. In addition, there were three pretty girls sitting next to them, smiling.
As the eldest son of the Ning family, third place in the provincial examination, and a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, Ning Lang, who was only twenty-five years old, was very talented. Coupled with the luxurious brocade robe on his body, he had an aura of nobility.
And although Ning Ya beside him was not as handsome as his brother, he was born with a good body, and with his civil status, he could be regarded as a great talent.
At this time, Ning Ya and the two women were talking and laughing next to each other, and his eyes swept over the plump breasts of the two women from time to time.
Ning Lang held a very beautifully made folding fan in his hand and said while shaking it: "I heard that cousin Mu Qing has recruited a son-in-law to be her husband, and he is quite talented. Now his poems are circulated in Kyoto. He is a talented person!"
Ning Ya smiled, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes, and said lightly: "What is talent? You are not even a child, how can you be considered a genius?"
Ning Lang said: "I heard that even great scholars praised his poems."
Ning Ya said: "A poor and unknown scholar suddenly wrote such good poems. Do you believe it?"
He laughed and continued: "In my opinion, these are poems purchased by the Ningguo Mansion from somewhere to build momentum for this son-in-law who came to visit him!"
Although Ning Lang was noncommittal, there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes. These tricks were common in his eyes. Many noble idiots liked to buy poems from poor scholars to decorate themselves and look very talented.
Ning Guofu was in decline, and Qin Zhong had no son, so he bought poems for his son-in-law to build momentum for him and create a persona of a talented man. However, this method was not clever, he could see it at a glance!
"I haven't seen my cousins for many years, and I don't know what they look like." Ning Ya smiled.
Standing in the pavilion, the girl wearing gorgeous clothes smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Ning's cousin is already twenty years old, but she is not married yet at the age of twenty... The son-in-law she recruited is also a talented man who cannot pass the Tongsheng test. I'm afraid Doesn’t it look good?”
Her name is Yan Su, and she is the daughter of Yan Qingzheng, editor of the Hanlin Academy. She belongs to a scholarly family, and her appearance and figure can be considered to be above average.
Hearing Yan Su's words at this time, the eldest son also nodded slightly in approval.
The memory of Mu Qing's cousin is already very vague, but she couldn't get married at the age of twenty. She even had to recruit a poor scholar as her son-in-law, because she was really not good-looking.
As for the little cousin, I heard that she is fifteen or sixteen years old, but she is very sick. How beautiful can a sick woman be?
The reason why they were invited to Chunxiang Garden this time was because their father put them in contact with Ningguo Mansion.
The eldest son shook his head as he thought about it.
At this moment, a young man ran over: "The eldest young master, the second young master, the eldest young lady and the second young lady from Ningguo Mansion are here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful girl wearing a red dress and a ponytail walked in.
The girl has a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and is charming and graceful. As soon as he entered, his aura instantly overwhelmed the woman in the pavilion.
Everyone in the pavilion was stunned.
