Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

The flower viewing festival also had a grand opening ceremony, hosted by Rongji's owner, He Da. He had pulled several all-nighters to write the opening speech, ultimately paying two taels of silver out of his own pocket to hire a scholar for help.

Although Rong Ji's business was booming and he was used to meeting all kinds of people, he was still a little nervous when he stood in front of so many people and spoke, even when he was reading a script. His hands kept shaking, and after he finally finished reading, he found that his back was wet.

Chen Xiaoling smiled and asked Ye Youlan where she found the dancing girls who were currently on stage.

Ye Youlan smiled faintly: "The girl is from Jinguifang, and the tea and snacks are from Yuxianglou."

Ruoyun asked when she could go down?

"You can do it now. I suggest you all wear veils so that your beauty won't be a bother to others."

Qin Yurou curled her lips. She was the first one to go out holding up the hem of her skirt. She wanted to go to her own stall to take a look. And Li Zong said he would come, so why hadn't he shown up yet?

Chen Xiaoling also wanted to go out, and she asked Ye Youlan if she didn’t want to go.

"I'll be on guard here, just in case you can't find me if something happens. You guys go have fun!"

Chen Xiaoling went to Chen Su's calligraphy and painting appreciation point. Chen Su was telling everyone about a painting by Chen Shanren called Listening to the Waves Under a Pine Tree. Everyone was listening with great interest. Chen Xiaoling found that when Chen Su was doing something that interested him, his whole body was glowing.

A man saw Chen Xiaoling coming towards him in a pink top and red bottom skirt, and he quickly turned his head away.

Chen Xiaoling recognized that this was the man who had fought with Chen Su in the teahouse last time. His name was Song Wen. She didn't expect Chen Su to call him over too.

She frowned, then quickly smiled again.

"Mr. Song, are you all right?"

Chen Xiaoling took the initiative to step forward and say hello. Mr. Song was helpless and smiled awkwardly. He moved his mouth, wanting to say sorry, but he couldn't save face.

Chen Su smiled and said, "I invited Song Wen here. He also likes Mr. Chen's paintings."

Chen Xiaoling forced a smile, then called the maid over and brought them some tea and snacks.

Chen Xiaoling asked them to continue chatting while she went to look somewhere else. After Chen Xiaoling left, Song Wen felt that he could finally breathe deeply.

Chen Su laughed at him and called him a coward. Song Wen said embarrassedly, "It was indeed my fault last time. I wanted to say sorry just now. Please convey my apology to my wife."

Chen Su waved her hand: "She is not a stingy person. To be honest, I should actually thank you, because after fighting with you, she actually noticed me. Before, she never liked me and said I was a piece of wood."

Song Wen finally felt relieved and continued to talk about Chen Shanren's paintings. More and more people gathered around the calligraphy and painting stall, and some even bought Song Wen's paintings.

Song Wen excitedly held the silver in his hands and looked at Chen Su in disbelief: "I haven't sold any paintings in a long time. Thanks to you for reminding me to bring a few paintings. I was too lazy to look for them so I just brought a bunch of them over. I didn't expect to sell them all."

Chen Su asked him to paint more when he has time, as maybe the next flower viewing festival will be held.

Song Wen nodded happily and said, "I'll start painting after I finish the Spring Examination."

Li Zong arrived, followed by his attendant Xiao Bao.

Li Zong's finger scratched the desk. Chen Su and others stopped and looked up at Li Zong, smiling and asking him why he came so late.

"Minister Li, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Li Zong brushed his sleeves lightly, a hint of pride on his fair and handsome face: "I went to Chubei to provide disaster relief a few days ago, and I just came back not long ago. I miss everyone a little bit. I'll treat you later, let's chat."

It’s good for everyone to cheer!

Chen Su said seriously, "I won't go. I have a tasting session this afternoon."

Li Zong raised his eyes slightly and said, "What? Just because you're the Prince of Yong'an, you look down on me and won't even offer me a meal?"

Chen Su was very calm: "I'm not going to the dinner. It has nothing to do with whether I am the prince or not. We are all friends. There is no question of whether I should show my respect or not. Your Yu Rou is busy over there. You can go and help."

Li Zong looked sideways into the distance. Qin Yurou was busy at her stall. He couldn't help but frown. "You want me to go over there and shout? Are you kidding me?"

Chen Su said angrily, "Yu Rou works so hard to run your store, and you're talking so cheerfully here. I really overestimated you before."

Li Zong suppressed his anger and said, "You are not noble. You are here to appreciate calligraphy and painting, why don't I see you helping out at your stall?"

Chen Su pointed at the onlookers in front of her and said, "I'm here to help. Look, Song Wen's paintings have all been sold."

Song Wen's pretty face flushed, and she said a little embarrassedly, "I originally wanted to join in the fun, but I didn't expect Chen Su's calligraphy and painting appreciation meeting to be so popular. After his appreciation, all my paintings were sold out. How about I treat everyone to dinner when I have time?"

Li Zong flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, I'll go, so you guys don't keep talking behind my back."

Li Zong came to his stall, which was filled with various silks. A clerk was trying hard to sell them, and a tailor was measuring the size of a customer next to him. A girl specifically asked for the narrow-sleeved skirt worn by etiquette reception girls.

Qin Yurou was holding the fabric and putting it on the customer, asking her to see which piece of fabric was suitable.

Qin Yurou was wearing a blue top and pink bottom dress today, and she had a smile on her face when she spoke, which was completely different from her usual seriousness. Li Zong looked at Yurou and couldn't help thinking that he hadn't seen such a bright side of Yurou for a long time.

Qin Yurou turned around and saw Li Zong standing behind her, looking at her with joy. She felt a little shy and turned away to continue selling.

After a while, Qin Yurou finally had time to come over and talk to him.

"Go play over at Chen Su's place! There are too many people here and it's too noisy."

Li Zong said aggrievedly, "I just came from over there. I was worried that you were too busy, so I came to help you. What do you want me to do?"

Qin Yurou felt a little warm in her heart and was a little touched. She thought about it and realized that he was really not needed here. Also, those female guests staring at Li Zong made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Go over there and get me some tea and snacks. I'm a little hungry."

Li Zong was pleased. He walked towards the tea area, checking out the other stalls as he went. The Chen family's stall was next to the Yong'an Palace's, occupying a large area and crowded with people. Li Zong thought the Chen family was joining in the fun, so what was the Yong'an Palace? Don't think he can't tell without a sign. Chen Xiaoling's family has fewer shops than his own. She must be vain and using the Yong'an Palace shops to fill the void.

He glanced inside and saw Chen Xiaoling sitting in the back with a maid serving her, drinking tea and eating snacks. She looked very comfortable. This girl knew how to enjoy herself. It seemed that Yu Rou was capable and not at all spoiled.

The Jin family is a wealthy family, Li Zong didn't even bother to look at it, why does Miaoyu's family have so many stalls? Oh, I forgot, her husband's family is a business, so they understand why there are so many stalls.

The Ye family and the Seventh Prince were one family, and they occupied quite a bit of the land. It seemed his family was the most disadvantaged and the poorest. Li Zong internally complained about how his father had gotten by, having enough money to support women but not enough to buy more shops.
