Then Wei Xin handed over the things in her hand to Lin Lang.
She and Wei Bo were originally shadow guards and were not used to being maids. After asking Tang Shiyue for permission, they immediately changed out of their winding skirts. Both of them were dressed in tight clothes and knew kung fu, so they could follow her when she went out in the future.
A day later, her junior nephew Zhang Xiaocheng came over, took her pulse, talked a lot, and then prescribed a prescription, saying that he had to stay by her side forever and was not allowed to return to the palace until she was well.
Another day passed and Ding Jiu also came back.
Emperor Ming Yan was probably worried that she didn't have enough space, so he gave her a hot spring villa. Tang Shiyue initially said no, she wanted to live in the Huo family's villa, etc. But later, when she went to take a look, she found it really smelled good...
The beautiful scenery, the hot springs, the winding paths and the painted buildings...and because the hot spring is so large and the air is warm, the master bedroom even has a floor heating system!
So they moved into the new village together. Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty personally inscribed a plaque with the words "Fu Shou Kang Ning", so everyone called it Fuyuan.
She sprained her ankle and couldn't go out for a while, so Meng Yiqiu and Sheng Qi made an appointment to come and see her.
As soon as they entered the door, both of them looked like they were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
As an extremely reliable person, it is rare for him to do such an unreliable thing, which is really impressive.
...
...
Fortunately, both of them were simple-minded people, so Tang Shiyue treated them with great hospitality, and then secretly instructed the kitchen to make boiled pork slices with plenty of chili peppers.
After the meal, the two of them first said, "You're not trying to poison us to silence us, are you?", then "Oh, it's so delicious, give me some more" and finally "Please give me some more! I'm relying on this taste in the future!"
When the two of them went home with a small bag of chili peppers and a recipe, they had indeed forgotten about the shoes.
Because of business, Meng Dansui also came here several times.
In actual use, Ding Jiu is actually better than Xia Yuhui.
Ding Jiu might be a little inferior in literary talent, but he was perceptive in other aspects, familiar with the people in Chang'an, and bold. He followed Meng Dan for a few days, selected the location of the greenhouse and workshop, and began to recruit workers in an orderly manner.
After a hundred days of recovery from her injuries, Tang Shiyue was extremely bored lying in bed. Winter was approaching, so she decided to give Three Kingdoms Kill to Butterfly.
Besides that, she also wants to play billiards...
Generally speaking, billiards is a more gentlemanly sport, suitable for young, middle-aged and not-too-old people, who can chat about things while playing, whereas mahjong is more suitable for group communication, where you can keep in touch if you want to, and you can concentrate on playing mahjong if you don't want to talk.
Games like Three Kingdoms Kill and playing cards are all quite noisy and not suitable for talking about business. She is also planning to bring out the table football machine, which is a sport suitable for teenagers that is between the elegant and the vulgar.
She plans to combine all of these, plus the existing Go and chess, to create a large-scale entertainment venue with chess and card games as the main focus.
So when Meng Dansui came again, she asked him, "Brother Meng, has your Meng family ever run a chess club or something like that?"
Meng Dansui shook his head: "I have never done that."
Meng Yiqiu smiled and said, "Brother, you are too honest. What Ayue meant by this is that she wants to set up a chess club, but she is too lazy to worry about it, so she wants to cooperate with the Meng family. You can do it for her!"
Meng Dan was stunned for a moment, and then Tang Shiyue gave Meng Yiqiu a look that said "I really like what you said."
Meng Dansui smiled hastily and said, "Whatever business Master Tang wants to do, the Meng family will certainly be happy to do it."
Speaking of which, Meng Dansui is also a wonderful person.
He has a big business, so he is naturally not a stupid man. It’s just that Meng Yiqiu is a playboy, while he has a righteous face and looks like a real gentleman.
He would never be rude to call her A Yue, calling her Pan An was too shameful, and calling her Lady of the County would seem strange, so he always called her Tang Fangzhu.
Sheng Qi said: "Why do you have to do it with the Meng family? My mother also has a dowry shop!"
Tang Shiyue thought to herself, of course it’s because the Imperial Noble Consort’s surname is Meng!
Then Meng Yiqiu said, "Of course it's because Ayue and I are good friends! We've been vaccinated together and been in jail together. We're close friends for life and death!"
Tang Shiyue swallowed and coughed twice: "You are right."
She asked Sheng Qi again: "What shop does your mother have?"
Sheng Qi said: "Snack shops, rouge shops, everything!"
"Oh?" Tang Shiyue said, "Then bring the things here for me to see next time you come."
Sheng Qi was overjoyed and quickly agreed. Tang Shiyue then told Meng Dansui about her idea.
The billiards and table football have been handed over to Yue Workshop for production. Now the main thing is to choose a suitable place, which should be big, but not too remote, and quiet in a bustling place.
Especially for the billiard table, it needs to be quiet, and each room should be far enough apart to ensure safety so that they don't disturb each other. Even the paths should have doorways so that when you don't want to bump into people, you won't bump into anyone.
The requirements in this regard in other places are slightly lower, but they must also have their own characteristics. In addition, there must be meals and snacks available, places to take a nap, even a place to take a bath, a place to rest, and so on.
Meng Dansui listened to her talk, which was very logical and clear. She knew exactly what to do and why to do it. She admired her very much and nodded in agreement.
Meng Yiqiu smiled and said, "You see, following Ayue in business is profitable, but tiring... She has too many new ideas. Before we finish here, we'll start there."
This is just an easy thing to say! Who would complain about having too much money?
Meng Dan gave him a sidelong glance and turned away.
The three people continued to chat. Tang Shiyue was thinking about playing Three Kingdoms Kill, so he asked them to find someone who was good at painting. The three people thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find anyone suitable.
Just then, Baopu brought in a post signed by Chen Hong Daliang.
Chen Hong is here?
Tang Shiyue asked someone to invite him in. Everyone sat up straight, but suddenly he was stunned.
Wait? Ah Hong, also known as Daliang? Isn't this the one who wrote "The Story of the Song of Everlasting Sorrow"? ? A very famous Tang Dynasty novelist!
They had been together for such a long time during the Northern Tour, but she only called him Lord Chen and never asked for his courtesy name!
Could it be a coincidence?
When the others came in, Tang Shiyue smiled and said to him, "Master Chen, I haven't had time to print your book yet. Do you have any new works?"
Chen Hong quickly bowed and smiled, "Chen is not here for this purpose. I heard that the county lady was here, so I came to visit her. I did write something to make the county lady smile."
Tang Shiyue thanked him with a smile and flipped through the books. In order to match Tang Shiyue's level, both of his articles were written in vernacular Chinese and were quite long. In Tang Shiyue's opinion, they were better than the legendary "The Story of Everlasting Sorrow".
Tang Shiyue said in surprise: "Very good! I will ask someone to send it to be printed later!"
Seeing him like this, it was clear that he was probably living in poverty. Tang Shiyue was thinking about finding an excuse to send him some money and food, and asked him with a smile, "By the way, does your Excellency know anyone who is good at drawing figures?"
Chen Hong said, "Madam, do you want to paint? I actually know someone. I have a good friend named Zhou Fang (fǎng). He is good at painting portraits, especially women."
Zhou Fang?
Tang Shiyue sprayed tea.
"Lady with a Flower in Her Hair"! Such a famous painter...
Wei Xin hurried forward to clean up for her. Tang Shiyue asked, "Is his name Zhonglang?"
"Madam, have you also heard of his name?" Chen Hong was delighted: "His courtesy name is indeed Zhonglang!"
He is truly a celebrity. You can see his paintings of Buddha at any tourist attraction, the famous “Zhou style”!
