200 The two governments are engaged, and the guests are full of guests!
Dragon Boat Festival.
The Pingwang Mansion is extremely lively, with many distinguished guests and crowded with people.
Since the end of last year, the emperor issued an order to grant marriage, it has been half a year since the Emperor's Order of the Pingwang Mansion and the Hunhou Mansion. The engagement wedding banquet was held on the Dragon Boat Festival, the auspicious day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The princes and powerful men of Jinling City came one after another in carriages from various palaces, and brought their families, ladies and daughters to prepare a gift to come to this engagement banquet.
To be honest, many princes don’t want to come.
Xiaohunhou is going to get engaged to Princess Danyang.
Bah ~!
They were still upset about the previous incident and even gave gifts to Xiaohunhou?
I don’t want to give me half!
But, it’s impossible not to come!
The emperor wanted to be a witness and came to the engagement banquet between the Pingwang Mansion and the Hunhou Mansion in person. It can be seen that the little Hunhou Shengjun was in Long and could not afford to offend him.
The emperor came to attend the engagement banquet, how could they not come?
Are you more arrogant than the emperor?
"Oh, Anle Hou, please come in and ask me! Old Hun Hou is waiting inside."
"Marty Pingyang, you are a distinguished guest!"
"Old Prime Minister Xie, you are old!"
"Oh, King of Zhongshan, you are a rare guest!"
Manager Qian and a group of managers welcomed guests at the gate of Pingwang Mansion, registering gifts from the guests, with a happy face.
At this engagement banquet, Empress Shen, the Emperor, Empress Cui, Concubine Yang, and the Prince are coming. Almost all the princes and heads of the clans in Jinling City have come. The Prince Ping’s Mansion is full of face!
These people in charge of the affairs are naturally honored.
...
The palace of Pingwang has already decorated with lanterns and lanterns of various colors, decorated.
The engagement banquet has not yet begun.
King Ping Li Rong led a group of kings and princes, and the three ministers were visiting the huge Prince Ping Mansion.
King Xiang Fei of Zhongshan, Prime Minister Kong Hanyou, Censor Wang Su, old Prime Minister Xie Huyong, father-in-law of King Ping Li Rong, as well as Taichang Lu Zi, Daong Ling Yang Chu and other large groups of high-ranking officials were visiting the Pingwang Mansion.
In the mansion, there are many courtyards, pavilions, jade pavilions, hanging gates and gardens, and rockery lotus ponds can be seen.
Especially a five-story library newly built by Li Rong, with colorful glazed tiles and green jade railings, standing tall in the garden, the most eye-catching.
This library is also Li Rong's most proud work.
It's too cheesy than power.
As the head of the top ten clans of Jinling, the powerful three-president Taiwei, the hereditary King Ping, who was a king of power and other things, was bullying others.
Of course, Li Rong disdains to show off those things.
Compared with the collection of books, this is the foundation of the cultural context of the family.
The Prince Ping’s Mansion passed down the family through martial arts, and the whole mansion was full of martial arts.
In the eyes of many scholarly families in Jinling City, they look down on this, and often ridicule the Taiwei Li Rong for this matter.
Li Rong spent nearly 50,000 taels of silver in this library. This is not the late issue, and the cost of the scholar copying paper books.
"This bookstore in my king can contain millions of books! This king has invited hundreds of scholars to copy books all over the world day and night, fill in this bookstore, and has copied nearly a thousand books.
Within ten years, I can get hundreds of thousands of books in the palace. There are so many things to do, and this is the case!"
Li Rong was full of energy and said with a smile.
"Brother Ping Wang, copying millions of books... I can't finish reading this in my life!"
Xiang Fei was shocked.
Kong Hanyou, Wang Su, Yang Chu and other members of the clan were shocked and looked at each other.
This is so bold!
Many bookstores at homes in the family still have bamboo slips piled up in mountains, and they can't even put dozens of rooms in it, so they still have time to copy them into paper books.
But in fact, the room of bamboo slips was greatly reduced after copying it into paper books, and only a hundred or so books were just a thin paper book of hundreds of thousands of words.
In Jinling City, there are thousands of bamboo slips hidden in it, and you can already boast about the family of scholars.
No matter how many there are, there are not so many rooms in the mansion to stack bamboo slips.
If you could fill the five-story library in front of you, you would need at least 100,000 books, or even dozens or millions of books, and the Pingwang Mansion could be regarded as the library of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Even if it is the imperial palace and the royal family's collection of books, I am afraid I can't catch up with it.
Show off, show off nakedly!
"Ping Wang is so proud!"
Wang Su was a little sour.
Before, he used the book collection of King Ping's Mansion to tease King Ping Li Rong.
Unexpectedly, Prince Ping's Mansion will be the leader in Jinling City so soon. In another ten or twenty years, it will probably become the top scholarly family in Jinling City.
The Xie family, Wang family, Lu family, Cui family in Jinling... These families boast of themselves as scholarly families, and will be shorter in the future.
It seems that after you go back, you have to send someone to copy the paper book!
You can't be suppressed by the Li family.
All the kings and princes and the heads of the family were secretly.
...
Pingwang Mansion, on the other side.
The second wife Xie Liyuan and dozens of noble ladies were drinking tea in the backyard.
The ladies were all shocked. When they saw the decorations in the house, they could see various glazed treasures everywhere.
Glazed teacup, glass treasure gourd teapot, glass flying crane incense burner,... and a pair of more than one foot of gold wire-edged large round mirrors.
Luxury, top luxury.
"Second Madam, what's this? Why are there anyone inside?!"
Mrs. Wang held the golden silk-edged mirror in her hand, reflecting her noble face.
The ladies around gathered to watch, all of whom were shocked.
These days, they have heard that the imperial concubines in the palace have glass treasures in their hands, which were refined by Xiao Hunhou.
However, they usually don’t have the chance to enter the palace, only the palace feast can be entered.
When I arrived at the Pingwang Mansion, I finally saw these legendary glazed treasures.
But I saw that in this mirror, their lifelike figures were printed, visible. All their hair could be reflected clearly.
Even the expression in his eyes was exactly the same as that of a real person.
This is much stronger than a bronze mirror.
The bronze dressing mirrors they used can only reflect one approximate image, and even the complexion of the skin is a bit blurry, let alone reflecting the hair.
The first time the ladies saw such a magical thing, they all changed their color in shock and were incredible.
"This is a glazed treasure mirror!
I heard from Xiao Hunhou that the front was made of the purest transparent glass, and the back was a mirror coated with silver.
Such a gold wire-edged mirror is at least one thousand taels of silver.”
The second wife smiled.
These were what Li Yu and Xiao Hunhou gave to her yesterday. They said that the two were about to get engaged and invented a novel glazed treasure to give to the second wife as a filial pie.
Xiaohunhou actually gave her treasure.
It was like the sun coming out from the west.
Of course, the second wife accepted it with a smile.
Silver is a trivial matter, these rare things are so good that they can’t let go. In this huge Jinling City, except for the imperial palace and the imperial concubines, there are only the Pingwang Mansion.
This is also a big face, enough for her to be proud of the noble ladies in Jinling for many years.
"This magical treasure mirror is only 1,000 taels of silver...? Please ask me if Xiao Hunhou, if there is any. Sister, I want one too!"
“Yes, please ask me.”
The ladies spoke in a hurry.
Chapter completed!
