Chapter 322: Very Popular
Wen Yan was slightly stunned when he saw the woman.
Mrs. Li.
Is it really her?
In her previous life, she had only seen Madam Li from a distance once, and her appearance had become blurry.
"I guess you are Miss Wen Yan, the owner of Qingfeng Tower." The woman stopped in front of Wen Yan and looked at her with a smile.
Wen Yan suddenly came back to her senses. The face in front of her was indeed very similar to the one in her memory.
She looked to be about thirty years old. Her facial features were not pretty, but her face was as white as a plate and her cheeks were plump.
A pair of eyes as bright as stars, with a gentle smile, makes people involuntarily calm and gentle, and put aside all the hostility in their hearts.
"You must be my customer this time, Mrs. Li." Wen Yan returned a salute.
After the two exchanged greetings and confirmed each other's identities, another carriage stopped outside the door.
The one who came down this time was the second aunt of the Meng family.
"Second Aunt." Wen Yan went to greet her.
Second Aunt smiled and said, "I'm still late. You two have already connected."
Madam Li smiled and gave Second Aunt a glare: "It's so cold, and asking you, who loves to stay in bed, to get up early is really putting you in a difficult position."
Aunt Meng hit her lightly and said angrily, "What are you talking about? With the younger generation present, don't I have any dignity?"
Madam Li laughed heartily, shaking her head and saying, "When did you start caring so much about appearances? Who said before that we should be like a free-spirited little bird, unconcerned about what others think?"
"You keep talking, I'll tear your mouth off."
"Hehe, you can't tear it off, you can't tear it off!" Mrs. Li made a face at her second aunt and ran into the house with a smile.
The two ladies from noble families, both of whom were not young, went back to their rooms in a noisy and quarrelsome manner.
They are just like two playful little girls who are young, innocent and naive.
Wen Yan stood there in a daze, stunned.
As promised, where is the mistress of the noble family?
You said you were dignified and elegant, and every move had rules.
Wen Yan laughed helplessly and followed them into the house.
Wen Yan did a final check to make sure everything was perfect.
Guests arrived one after another.
The small building gradually became lively.
There are women everywhere.
There are calm and dignified ladies, as well as playful and lively girls.
In the Qingfeng Building, there are small courtyards with various themes of scenery.
In addition to the usual activities, there are bamboo appreciation, snow appreciation, and plum blossom appreciation.
Wen Yan also specially set up a flower room, which was filled with various dried flowers.
She placed all the flowers that were available throughout the year in the same room.
Although they are dried flowers, they still look particularly rare and beautiful in the cold winter with snow falling.
Besides, these greenhouses were specially designed by Wen Yan.
Each room in the courtyard is decorated in a different color and variety.
The colors are colorful and the flowers are abundant, which makes people dazzled and overwhelmed.
It is easy for people who come in to get lost in the sea of flowers.
In addition, Wen Yan also thought of a lot of fun things.
In addition to regular games such as pitching pots, Wen Yan also added swings and small-scale Cuju.
She also created ice tracks on the frozen artificial lake.
She also led people to pour water on the ice track to make it thicker and more solid.
The girls who come to play can put on ice skates and skate on the ice track, or they can sit on the ice sled and be pulled by strong women.
Those old women were all hired by Wen Yan from outside.
Although the work is hard and requires certain skills, the income is considerable.
If guests give them tips, they don’t have to hand them over, they can just keep them.
Therefore, many people are eager to do this kind of work.
If you are cheerful and lively, you can go out and play the lively and active programs.
If you like quietness, you can stay in a warm room, enjoy the flowers, play the piano and drink tea.
In addition, there are food, drinks and fun, and you can also clean your face, dye your nails and dye your hairpins.
None of the guests who come here have a bad time.
The day passed in a flash.
Soon it was time to end, but those rich girls still hadn't had enough fun and kept saying they would come again next time.
Some ladies sent their maids to ask Wen Yan about the expenses.
Wen Yan gave each person a quotation.
The price of each courtyard, what theme it will have, how many different matching styles there are under the theme, and what kind of refreshments and services will be provided.
The next day, many girls put on beautiful nail polish and exquisite flower ornaments.
Wen Yan's first business was very successful and his good reputation spread quickly.
That afternoon, a servant came to place an order for Qingfeng Xiaolou.
Some people rent the garden for a small family gathering, while others want to book the entire place and host a banquet for guests like Madam Li did.
certainly.
For a time, the courtyard of Qingfeng Building was in short supply.
However, the most popular places are the greenhouse and the large garden with an ice track.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Soon, all the guests left.
The sky also darkened.
After Wen Yan finished the inspection, he looked up at the night sky.
Tonight is the waning moon. The not-so-bright moonlight, after being reflected by the snow, makes the night view of the house exceptionally bright.
Seeing the beautiful scenery, Wen Yan couldn't help but want to show off her skills, so she asked Pei'er to prepare the brush and ink, and she wanted to paint.
Pearl quickly found paper and pen for her.
Wen Yan also immersed herself in painting.
When Mrs. Li found Wen Yan to settle the bill, she saw her concentrating on painting.
She came closer.
The withered lotus leaves on the snowy lake under the night sky are vividly depicted on the paper.
"So beautiful!" Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh.
"Madam Li..." Wen Yan was about to put down his pen to entertain her.
Madam Li quickly stopped him: "No, just draw yours."
Painting is like writing an article, it needs to be done in one go.
Once the train of thought is interrupted and the breath is lost, the work will no longer be complete.
"Thank you." Wen Yan thanked him and continued painting.
Half an hour passed before the painting was finished.
She put down the brush and looked at Madam Li with a shy look on her face: "I'm sorry for making you wait for me."
Madam Li looked at the painting and said with a smile, "It's worth the wait to see such a beautiful painting."
They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
She said, "This garden is the best place to enjoy the moon. If you don't mind, I'll invite you to enjoy the moon here on the fifteenth of next month as compensation for your neglect today."
“The moonlight here is truly beautiful.
If you offer me a discount, I won't agree.
But if you invite me to come here to enjoy the moon, I can’t refuse at all.”
"By then, I will have someone prepare the yard to respectfully welcome Madam Li."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and found that they got along very well with each other.
After paying the silver, Wen Yan sent Madam Li to the carriage and left.
She also took the painting and got on the carriage back home.
Ying Zhilin was waiting for her at the door of the store in a carriage.
When Ying Zhilin saw her carrying a basket and holding a painting in her arms, he came over to help.
Smelling the fresh scent of ink, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you paint today?"
Wen Yan nodded: "Yeah."
She held his hand to the carriage.
Her hands were small and soft, but as cold as ice.
Ying Zhilin subconsciously held her hand tightly: "Why are your hands so cold?"
