People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 90 090: Two Invitations

"Cui Xiang Gong's personal message: According to the schedule of the post, it will be almost three to five days before you receive the letter. If it is the Winter Solstice Festival, remember to go to the street to enjoy the scenery while preparing for the exam. Agu said that the Winter Solstice in Chang'an City Festival, very lively.

I heard from businessmen that Chang'an is prosperous, with a total of [-] squares and bustling streets.Especially Pingkangli, where the dream of a brothel is good and the scholars are romantic, it is a good place in the world.Being able to travel arm in arm with you for one day is not a waste of time as a couple.

……

Everything is fine at home, nothing to worry about.Since the eldest brother and the second brother have been to Li Shuishi's house, they often come to visit at home, and Auntie is in a particularly good mood.However, since the beginning of winter, there have been too few visitors to Tianfu Jucaiju, and the revenue is not much; the price of livestock has risen, and the cost of braised meat stalls is high, barely sustaining.Fortunately, the owner of the horse shop lost ten taels of gold, and lived without worries.

One or two gold came with the letter.Don't make yourself miserable outside, and eat and drink carefully.

I specially asked Uncle Li to take the family letter to the official station..."

Cai Xiaolan read the letter to Cui Boyan over and over again, but still felt something was wrong, so she revised it again in front of the oil lamp.This was put into the envelope together with an ingot of gold.

……

In the Pansi Mansion in Zicheng, Yangzhou Prefecture, there were eight delicate side dishes on the dining hall table, but Lu Shiyu was the only one sitting at the table.

"Miss, is today's side dish not to your taste?" The maid waiting on the side was worried, and the master hadn't moved his chopsticks until now.

"I'll wait for brother!"

"Before the sun set, the gentleman sent someone back to inform him that he would not come back for dinner!" A servant girl reminded.

"Don't worry, I know brother, he must have said that because he was afraid that I would be hungry. How could he be used to the taste of outside dishes." Lu Shiyu and Lu Xingye had the same mother, and their relationship was very good.

Sure enough, after a while, Lu Xingye arrived at the dining hall.

"Xiao Yu, why are you still waiting for me? Didn't I send someone back to ask you to eat first?" Lu Xingye cleaned his hands, grabbed the chopsticks, and started gobbling it up.

Sure enough, he didn't eat.

"Brother, guess what I saw outside today?" Lu Shiyu didn't have the habit of not eating or sleeping in front of Lu Xingye.

"Tell me about it?" Lu Xingye put down his chopsticks and stared at his sister seriously.

"There was an old woman who couldn't digest well, and almost died from eating tofu. As a result, her son got a bad idea and wanted to blackmail the boss." Lu Shiyu stopped deliberately when she said this, "Guess what happened later?"

"It must be the boss who beat them up and threw them out. How can a boss be a simple person! They are not afraid of such methods at all." Lu Xingye expressed his opinion based on the cases he saw these days.

"Haha, you guessed wrong. The guys in the store were frightened and ran to find the boss. The boss turned out to be a young woman! I specifically asked the people around me, and the little girl had a great reputation. Porridge, heals diseases and saves people!" Lu Shiyu made a big circle in front of her hands, as if to explain how famous Bai Cai Xiaolan was.

"After she arrived, she took two or three easy strokes and saved the old woman's life!" In Lu Shiyu's eyes, Cai Xiaolan was truly legendary.

"Oh, this man is amazing!" Although Lu Xingye said so, he didn't take it seriously.Left and right are just ordinary women, or the lowest level of businessmen.

"I want to invite her to the poetry club!" Lu Shiyu said excitedly.

As the Winter Solstice is approaching, as usual, she will hold a women's poetry gathering.In the past, it was too easy to form an all-female bureau in Chang'an.But when I arrived in Yangzhou City, I was unfamiliar with the place and it was quite difficult to respond to everything at once.

"Okay, it's up to you! Your brother, I have already told a few colleagues about this and invited their female relatives. I also invited a few servants to the Yingchun Building to make sure you have a good time." Lu Xingye looked at Lu Shiyu dotingly, this guy is definitely a madman who spoils his sisters.

"Elder brother is very thoughtful, why didn't I think of inviting some noble people?" Lu Shiyu patted his head, as if teaching it to learn to think.

Lu Xingye said repeatedly, "Okay!"

Stopped my sister who was blaming herself.How could he have the nerve to tell her that he had just mentioned it a little bit in Yingchun Tower, and she had recommended himself.

……

Early the next morning, Cai Xiaolan arrived at the Governor's Mansion.Li Yunguang was reading in the study room, and when he heard Cai Xiaolan's intentions, he nodded one after another.

After reading the letter, Li Yunguang couldn't help admiring, "You girl, you are really careful! It is his blessing that Bo Yan married you. I have read his papers, and he is indeed lacking in talent. This trip to Chang'an is just to accumulate experience , if you fall into the place of fireworks for the sake of a little reputation, the loss outweighs the gain!"

He understood the seriousness of the matter, and promised Cai Xiaolan to put the letter in the official post, and at the same time asked someone to send it to Chang'an as soon as possible.

"Xiaolan, I have an invitation for a poetry meeting here. It was organized by the judge's family. He sent me an invitation card. You know, I don't have any female family members of the right age, so I'll give it to you!" Li Yunguang It is taken for granted that Cai Xiaolan can write poetry.

Most people in the world believe that elementary school is learned from literacy texts such as "San Zi Jing" and "Thousand Characters".

actually not.

There is a family of scholarly families who teach their children to recite books before they can read.Various poetry collections and rhyme books are the first choice.So the threshold for poetry is not high, but if you want to write good poetry, you must have a lot of ambition in your heart.

"Ah? Poetry meeting!" Cai Xiaolan's first reaction was to refuse. She was so busy every day, how could she have time to attend the poetry meeting?But Governor Li helped him a lot, and she didn't want to spoil people's interest.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Li, I just want to communicate more with my peers, this is really a good opportunity!"

She didn't know that the same invitation was lying in the tofu shop at the moment.

Inviting people to a meal is a solemn matter, and you should tell others in advance so that they can be prepared.Of course Lu Shiyu, who often holds group activities, knows this.I sent the servant at home to deliver the invitation to the poetry meeting to the tofu shop early.

When Cai Xiaolan returned to the shop, she didn't see the gentleman. She only saw an invitation that was exactly the same as the one in her arms.

On the front of the invitation was written "Winter Solstice Poetry Party" in regular script. After opening it, I saw the time and place of the banquet. There was also a polite word at the bottom, and finally the name of the host of the poetry meeting was added.

"Lu Shiyu! That's a beautiful name. How strange! Where did I know her?" Cai Xiaolan searched through her memories, but couldn't find anything related to her.

This made Xue Xiangqin, who was behind the counter, envious and complimented: "Boss, you are still awesome. Now even the powerful people in Zicheng admire your reputation and treat you to dinner!"

"Do you want to go? If you want to go, I will take you there. I just have two invitations here!" Cai Xiaolan took out the invitations in her arms like she was playing tricks.

　Thank you Chengniyan for the ticket. Can the subscribed friends raise their claws?Who is it that makes me healthy?
