Half a month later, in the middle of summer, Li Chunjian built a grass shed outside Bailu Academy and hung up a plain silk gauze fan with a green bamboo handle.
After a stick of incense, Li Chunsu arrived late and was dripping with sweat.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Xingce came back from visiting friends outside. I saw that he was wearing a pear-white sleeved robe today, with fluttering sleeves and elegant demeanor.
"Dean Yang, I am He Qingjia, who runs a shop of resentful songs and sells round fans. This distribution of round fans is under the instruction of Her Royal Highness the Princess." He Qingjia pushed Li Chunsu.
"Yang...Lang...Jun...An...Hello." Li Chun stumbled, his cheeks red with embarrassment.
"Mrs. He, do you prefer meticulous painting or freehand painting?" Yang Xingce bowed.
He Qingjia did not answer, but took out a round fan and wrote "Song of Resentment".
The new cracks are pure and fresh, as fresh and clean as frost and snow. Cut it into an acacia fan, which looks like a bright moon. Going in and out of your arms, shaking in the breeze. I am often afraid that when autumn comes, the coolness will overtake the heat. Abandon the donation box and put it in the basket, and the kindness will end.
This poem about boudoir was once composed into a new song by Emperor Aye Yanai who congratulated Qingjia, and it has been sung to this day.
Yang Xingce stared at the fan, his eyes flashing, until Li Chunxu called Yang Langjun softly, bringing him back from his thoughts.
"Mrs. He, there is an ignorant young man in the family who once followed Princess Antai and died in the Battle of Jinling. It's rude." Yang Xingce bowed again.
Xia Taizong behaved very tolerantly and never made things difficult for the Yan survivors.
However, the Hongnong Yang family was cautious and did not allow people of Yang Xingce's generation to become officials.
"It doesn't matter, Emperor Yan Ai is not a good emperor." He Qingjia said calmly.
I heard that floods were serious in the Jiangnan area. Apart from shedding a few tears, her Aye was deceived by the officials who wanted to profit from the disaster relief. They built dams and relocated the population, but nothing was done.
"Thank you, Mrs. He, for the round fan." Yang Xingce smiled slightly, turned and left.
"Li Chunjian, I don't have the final payment for this ball fan!" Li Chunxu was so angry that he burst into anger.
A few days later, when Li Chunjian was busy chasing Li Chunxu's final payment, a distinguished guest came to Yuan Ge Xing.
"My boss, help me order a fancy round fan. Remember to soak it in this bottle of fragrant dew for three days and three nights, and then let it weather for three days and three nights." The distinguished guest gave Li Chunjian a glass bottle.
"What is coquettish?" Li Chunjian asked lightly.
"It's the kind of flowers embroidered on the fan, which can attract honey." The distinguished guest took out a gold ingot from his purse and pressed it heavily on the Eight Immortals table.
"Mr. Lang is talking about velvet flowers, right? The velvet flowers with the most exquisite skills belong to Jinling. No matter which dynasty they are, they are tributes. It just so happens that my wife is from Jinling." Lu Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Jin Yuanbao.
"The camellia that scratches the beauty's face is not popular in Chang'an recently, so let's embroider it like this." The distinguished guest glanced at the contract drawn up by He Qingjia, then put it away and left directly.
Lu Yun was very curious. He played with the glass bottle, loosened the cork, took a gentle sniff, and said with a smile: "Madam, this fragrance is quite exotic, as if I have smelled it somewhere before."
He Qingjia took the glass bottle and sniffed it, with a clear voice: "This fragrance is called the secret of the desert. It comes from the Michel royal family. The early stage is the sweetness of flowers and fruits, the middle stage is the fragrance of rouge, and the later stage is woody." The warmth. Such a small bottle costs ten taels of gold, which is not common in Chang'an."
"Madam, it's too extravagant to use ten taels of gold to make a round fan. You might as well sprinkle it on yourself. This distinguished guest loves his lover very much." Lu Yun said with a smile.
Seeing this, He Qingjia shook his head and laughed, then asked casually: "When did I meet Velvet Flower?"
"Ma'am, just learn now." Lu Yun ran away.
The main materials of velvet flowers include silk, silver wire drawing, lead wire, and the auxiliary materials are dyes, rapeseed, glutinous rice glue, etc.
He Qingjia held the scroll and made it while studying.
Until Li Chunjian came back from playing tired, He Qingjia still used the kerosene lamp to complete half of the scratched beauty face velvet flower that she liked.
"Qingjia, don't use the kerosene lamp, it will hurt your eyes. Later I will ask Lan Yu to go to the palace to steal a box of night pearls for you to light up." Li Chunjian moved the kerosene lamp away.
"Your Highness Prince Kang, if you want to steal the Night Pearl, it's your business. Don't drag my wife into the water." Lu Yun had just returned home, with his hands on his hips.
"Qingjia, your maid is bullying me." Li Chunjian immediately jumped behind He Qingjia, her tone becoming pitiful.
"Li Chunjian, you are a grown man, can you stop being such a coward!" Lu Jun said angrily.
Seeing the conflict between Li Chunjian and Lu Yun, He Qingjia quickly started a new topic: "Ajun, what interesting news did you find out about the distinguished guest?"
"Madam, you are defending him again." Lu Yun felt indignant, and then he saw He Qingjia's face turning indifferent, curled his lips, and continued: "The distinguished guest, whose surname is Qin, is a wealthy businessman doing business in the Western Regions. After his original wife died, he bought a house in Chang'an and married a has-been red-brand lady as his second wife. Qin Fushang had a son and a daughter with his original wife. He didn't ask the red-brand lady to have children, as long as he could show them when attending parties, so he I was away from Chang'an for most of the year."
"What's the name of that outdated red card lady?" Li Chunjian became interested.
Lu Yun glared at Li Chunjian fiercely and replied, "Everyone calls her Chun Niang."
"Chun Niang, it sounds so familiar." Li Chunjian murmured.
Chun Niang? He Qingjia remembered that on the wedding day of Princess Yicheng, a woman named Chun Niang sang a song at the princess's residence with a melodious voice.
He Qingjia had a clue, but she wouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Half a month later, He Qingjia completed the round fan with gold lacquer handle and silk velvet scratched face pattern, and handed it to Qin Fushang.
"Madam, madam, I know why Qin Fushang asked you to order a round fan!" Lu Yun came running over in a hurry.
"Come and tell me." Li Chunjian was dozing off out of boredom.
"Madam, Qin Fushang gave the fan to Chun Niang. In less than a day, Chun Niang was stung by honey. Her white and tender face was bloodshot, just like scratching the beauty's face. Qin Fu Shang did this, He probably wanted to punish Chun Niang quietly." Lu Jun glared at Li Chunjian, and Fang smiled.
"A promiscuous woman who stays alone in an empty boudoir is nothing more than an affair." Li Chunjian yawned.
At this time, Princess Li Chunxu of Yicheng rushed over angrily.
"Fifth brother, help me get rid of all the bees in Yuenv Lake!" Li Chunxu said angrily.
"Sixth sister, Consort Cai's beautiful face was scratched by a bee?" Li Chunjian was surprised.
"We met when I went to Yue Nu Lake to pick lotus leaves for me. Otherwise, I would have filled Yue Nu Lake to vent my anger on Ah Fu." Li Chunsu gritted his teeth and said.
"Sixth sister, don't you dislike Prince Consort Cai?" Li Chunjian asked.
"Fifth brother, Ah Fu is the first man in this palace after all. No matter how much you don't like him, you have to give him face." Li Chunxu lowered his head and smiled shyly.
"Sixth sister, you will have many men in the future." Li Chunjian looked solemn.
Li Chunjian suspected that Cai Difu had an affair with Chun Niang.
