When the students saw Tantai Wenwang holding a silver crane in his hand, their eyes suddenly lit up. This silver crane was worth eight hundred taels tonight, which is equivalent to eight hundred pearl flowers. Update without error@
According to the annual expenditure of an ordinary family of five taels of silver, this silver crane can support the livelihood of a small village for a year.
It also represents the skin on the face tonight.
Everyone came to the stage with Tantai Wenwang in their arms, hoping to enjoy some of the glory.
Tantai Wenwang raised the silver crane in his hand, and a steward immediately came forward and asked respectfully: "Sir, to which lady is this silver crane given?"
Tantai Wenwang shouted out a name very proudly: "Lady Peony!"
The steward took the silver crane with both hands, came to the center of the stage to display it, and announced loudly: "Master Tantai Wenwang Tantai is giving Lady Peony a silver crane!"
The scene was silent for a moment, and the crane was mounted so quickly. Generally speaking, the first thing is to scatter beads and flowers, followed closely by the gifts of treasures.
But it's just little treasures like Pegasus, Mandarin Duck, Jade Rabbit, and Golden Bird.
The Pegasus is worth fifty beads, the Mandarin Duck is worth one hundred, the Jade Rabbit is worth three hundred, and the Golden Bird is worth five hundred.
And Yinhe is eight hundred.
So there is a boss who can't wait to take action.
Of course, once the golden dragon with a price of tens of thousands of flowers was released, the dust basically settled.
Although Suzhou is prosperous and wealthy, a silver crane is already considered a big deal. One hundred and fifty taels of silver is enough to buy a house with a single courtyard and a single courtyard in a prosperous area of Suzhou.
For such a gesture, according to custom, Lady Peony needs to perform a performance to express her gratitude.
An old Confucian scholar with a beautiful beard and gray temples appeared on the stage, wearing a special Confucian suit. The sleeves and robe of this Confucian suit were wide open and closed, and the waist and shoulders were extremely slim. He was elegant and handsome. He has an elegant demeanor and an elegant and majestic temperament.
This person is none other than Suzhou celebrity Shi Nansheng.
Shi Nansheng is a gourmet and an expert in clothing and decoration. He runs a printing shop and a bookstore, and publishes the "Gourmet List" and later founded a second magazine, "Leisure and Interesting Magazine".
"Leisure and Interesting Magazine" mainly publishes the entertainment of wealthy people such as clothing and jewelry, music, calligraphy and painting, exotic birds and birds.
"Leisure Fun Magazine" will be accompanied by some pictures, which are drawn by masters of painting based on the actual objects. Because each copy needs to be hand-drawn, the number of publications is very small, and one issue only comes out every few months.
Although the publication volume is small, it does not affect the spread of "Xianqingququkan" in the upper-class aristocratic society. Circulation has become the key. After all, the upper-class society has a certain social circle.
This special outfit would attract attention even if it was not worn by Shi Nansheng, not to mention if it was worn by a fashion expert. Many interested people had already seen the Xuan Dan Zhai logo on the clothes.
This logo is not a specific pattern, but the tapestry craftsmanship of Xuandanzhai, where the warp and weft are highlighted. The pattern on the clothes presents a carved and engraved effect, which is full of three-dimensionality.
Kesi has always existed as a work of art, because the weaving process is extremely delicate and complex, and the requirements are extremely high. There has always been a saying that every inch of Kesi is worth an inch of gold, and it is even more famous as the sage of weavers.
It’s not that no one has thought about applying tapestry craftsmanship to ready-made garments, but the cost is too high. It’s not easy to find people with this skill.
It was obvious that Tantai He was so passionate about money that he succeeded.
As a businessman who has been floating in the business world for many years, she understands that rare things are valuable. The rarer things are, the more these nobles flock to them.
Zhang Lingxiao smiled and said: "Miss Tantai is a good advertiser. I'm afraid that the door of Xuandanzhai will be crowded tomorrow."
Lu Wenlin added: "Obviously Miss Tantai is a master at intruding and playing with people's hearts. Brother Xie, please be careful."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "The relationship between husband and wife is sometimes like two armies at war. They need to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses. She is good at playing with people's hearts. You should not fight with her, look for her weaknesses, and fight to death."
Zhang Lingxiao asked: "What is Miss Tantai's weakness?"
Xie Fu responded: "I can't tell you this."
"Ha ha……"
Shi Nansheng is now on the stage as the host of tonight's flower selection. Normally, Chen Qinglan and Chen Douzhi will host this kind of event. However, Chen Douzhi has disappeared for a while. I don't know if he has found a good son-in-law and quietly married away from this place. A dusty place.
Heather is born in the direction. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 700 A moment of glory
The audience raised their hands and said: "Everyone, I have been invited by Qin Lou to be the host. Shi himself is also a romantic person. He thought he could get a closer look at the beauty of the twelve masters, so he hurriedly accepted."
This party's relaxed and funny opening remarks attracted many people's applause.
After briefly introducing his identity, Shi Nansheng turned to the main topic: "Peony Lady is famous for her poems about peony and she has always been talented in poetry. How about having Lady Peony compose a poem for her performance?"
The poem showed his temperament, and the audience applauded him.
Shi Nansheng waved his hand: "Eleven of you, please step down and rest first."
After the eleven famous actors left the stage, Peony said generously: "Mr. Shi, please give me a question."
Shi Nansheng chuckled: "No, no, no, this silver crane was not given to me as a gift. It is not my turn to come up with the question." He waved his hands and asked loudly: "Where is Mr. Tantai Wenwang Tantai?"
Tantai Wenwang took a step forward and appeared in front of people. In fact, the moment he presented the silver crane, he became the focus of everyone. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Shi, I was born here late."
Xie Fu nodded and smiled when he saw him. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. Wenwang had become different. He knew the book and was polite, and he was also calm.
Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "Master Tantai, please give me a question."
Tantai Wenwang and Lady Peony looked at each other and said, "Madam Peony, I will compose a poem based on this scene at night, called Happy Autumn Night."
Lady Peony smiled and nodded, and thought about it. She was known as Poet Peony, and she was naturally talented in poetry. It was not difficult to compose a poem on the spot, but to compose a good poem that convinced everyone in a short period of time, it was still difficult. It’s a bit of a test, so think carefully.
At this time, Shi Nansheng smiled and said: "If Lady Peony's poem is good, Shi will also give me a treasure to express my respect, please!"
The word "please" has the meaning of urging, and does not allow Lady Peony to think twice before making a move. Only quick thinking can be regarded as super art.
Lady Peony naturally understood what Shi Nansheng meant and blurted out: "Yes." She recited a poem smoothly.
Everyone was still savoring the matter, and Shi Nansheng laughed loudly: "Okay, Shi will give me a golden bird as a gift."
The golden bird is worth five hundred pearls, which not only shows that Shi Nansheng is generous, but does not overshadow Tantai Wenwang.
There are twelve brocade tables covered with red cloth in a conspicuous place in front of the vermilion curtain. One of them belongs to Lady Peony. At this moment, the two treasures of silver crane and brocade bird are placed on the table.
The total of these two treasures is 1,300 pearl flowers, which is equivalent to a boatload of pearl flowers of Lingbo Wuluo Chuzhuang.
Tantai Wen looked out of the limelight, and Lady Peony also saved her face. At the same time, she showed her quick thinking and poetic talent in front of the stranger. First update@
Then the Peony Lady stepped down.
Naturally, the stage cannot be left empty, and then a group of female birds, Nana, come on stage.
Shi Nansheng said loudly: "I would like to invite the ladies of Jinfeng Tower to perform the Qingyue "Bai Tu Dance".
Along with the sound of silk music, all the girls on the stage danced gracefully.
Everyone watched mesmerized, it was so rare to see such a scene.
Wu Jie, who was sitting at the Ding table, knew that Tantai Wenwang had something to do with Xie Fu. He didn't know whether it was to please Tantai Wenwang or to please Fu Xie, so he called the steward over and presented the Peony Lady with a mandarin duck.
In fact, what he supports is Taohualiu Keqin, a famous actress in Qinlou.
And Zhao Yuanfei supports Yuli Hua Hengmei.
He also had a private bet with Zhao Yuanfei, betting one thousand five hundred taels. At the same time, the loser had to stay away from the other party when he saw him in the future.
The two of them are not yet powerful enough to influence the throne of Oiran, so the outcome will depend on the ranking of Hengmei and Keqin.
After the dance, Shi Nansheng came on stage and read out the names of the treasures given by this wheel one by one.
Each of the twelve famous actors had their own treasures, mostly small treasures such as flying horses and mandarin ducks. Only Lingbo Wuluo Chuzhuang got the jade rabbit worth three hundred pearls.
Lady Peony gets two more mandarin ducks.
Wu Jie heard that Zhao Yuanfei also gave Lady Peony a mandarin duck, and wondered, what did Zhao Yuanfei mean?
He couldn't help but look towards Xin Zhuo Zhao Yuanfei, who happened to be looking towards him as well.
The two looked at each other, instantly filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Lady Peony went back to her room to rest. As soon as she sat down, she heard the maid come to report: "Master Tantai is here to see you."
"please."
Tantai Wenwang was already very familiar with Mudan, so he sat down without any courtesy.
Peony waved the maid to retreat. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 700 A moment of glory
After getting off, he asked: "Where did you get Yinhe?"
Tantai Wenwang grinned widely and said, "Mudan, you don't have to worry about this. Anyway, I will support you to the end tonight."
But Mudan said: "What do you mean I don't need to care? If you spend your money on me, I will care. If you commit adultery just to get the money, it will be my fault."
Tantai Wenwang chuckled: "Don't worry, I am no longer the ignorant Tantai Wenwang I used to be. When I get the honors, I will mention to my sister by the way that I will marry you."
Mudan smiled softly, but did not show much happiness. How could she, a brothel girl, be the official wife of Tantai Mansion? With Miss Tantai's temper, it would be difficult for her to be a concubine.
He said: "Since you know that you still have studies, why do you come here tonight and delay your studies? I don't care at all about your ranking in the flower selection. I told you not to come."
Tantai Wenwang chuckled.
Lady Peony said, "Go back."
Tantai Wenwang was stunned, "He's here."
Lady Peony smiled calmly: "What can you do when you are here?" She stood up to get something. _o_m
Tantai Wenwang said: "I didn't just give you a silver crane to save you a lot of face."
"There are so many powerful enemies tonight, and you want to control the rankings with just one Silver Crane. It's just a fool's errand."
Mrs. Peony said as she came over, handed a heavy purse to Tantai Wenwang, and said with a smile: "Miss Tantai is a rich man in Suzhou City, but she is so stingy to your brother, so that you are so dignified Mr. Tantai can’t even afford the travel expenses.”
Tantai Wenwang smiled bitterly: "My sister is so desperate that I don't even have a penny to spare, let alone go to a brothel."
Lady Peony smiled and said: "Take it, don't even be able to get through the gate of Qin Tower. Next time we meet, I will give you a test. I will not see you until you pass."
Tantai Wenwang asked: "What if I can't pass the test?".
