Everyone's eyes lit up. To be honest, it was difficult for women to not be interested in those who knew something about the hidden gold, especially these noble ladies. However, they didn't dare to show their interest openly. Not only that, if they mentioned it openly, they would be reprimanded and ostracized, which was in line with the rules.
"Your Highness has only lived in the capital for a short period of time, so it's not surprising that you don't know about it. Speaking of which, the plum blossoms in the Square Courtyard can be considered a scenic spot in the capital, especially in winter. There are many people who come here to admire the flowers. Although they are mostly white plum blossoms, the quality is quite good. It's a good choice for poetry or painting. "
"If that's the case, then I'll have to take a good look today. However, speaking of plum blossoms, I heard from my grandfather that Minister Zhong's family has the most complete variety of plum blossoms, and there are many rare and famous ones. Every winter, Miss Zhong will be able to feast her eyes. "Jingwan's gaze fell on the woman in the warm yellow dress.
"Your Highness, you're too kind. Father does have a lot of plum blossoms, but he's really stingy. It's good enough that he'll let us see them once every three to five days. If you want to break off a branch and put it in a vase, then don't even think about it. A few years ago, I secretly broke off a branch, and as a result, I was beaten in the palm of my hand and had to kneel for an hour. Every winter, my brothers and sisters want to invite good friends to a banquet to admire the plum blossoms, but they think that we're stingy. In fact, it's my father who doesn't allow it at all. He values those plum blossoms more than us, his children and grandchildren. Everyone says that the younger son is the eldest grandson, but in our family, my eldest nephew is ranked behind the plum blossoms in my father's heart. "
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed. However, that was the Minister of Works after all, so they naturally didn't know how to respond.
Jingwan walked in unhurriedly, and these people surrounded her without any intention of leaving. Jingwan roughly understood their intentions, at least it wasn't convenient for them to say it out loud. It wasn't a shameful thing to meet the envoys of the Hidden Gold Kingdom. It wouldn't be a problem to have a few more people around. Therefore, Jing Wan didn't say anything and chatted with them. They had talked about plum blossoms earlier, and now they were talking about plum blossoms.
The others looked at each other. Obviously, they didn't think that Jingwan didn't know what they meant. Looking at her attitude, it was obvious that she tacitly agreed. They smiled tacitly.
"When it comes to raising flowers and plants, Princess Consort is the most qualified to speak. My father praised her more than once and admitted defeat. Especially when he saw the 'borrowed' Qun Fang Qiu from Lord Luo. There was a period of time when he spent all his free time in it. According to my father, it's not easy to borrow the Qun Fang Qiu from Lord Luo. If you don't quickly finish reading it and return it, don't expect to get another one. I also secretly took a look at it twice. It's really well written and the inserts inside are also exquisite." Miss Zhong's gaze fell on Jingwan. Her meaning couldn't be more obvious.
It must be said that this woman's things wouldn't easily leave the inner residence. However, those were only her elders. Moreover, the book was taken out from Luo Peishan's hands. After leaving the inner residence, she had to return it the same way. Thus, there was no taboo.
Jingwan said modestly, "If Miss Zhong likes it, I'll give you two books of beauties later."
That Miss Zhong was pleasantly surprised. Influenced by her old man, although she couldn't say that she was addicted to this aspect, she indeed liked it very much. However, she was still a bit hesitant. It must be known that Jin Qinwang Fei's Qunxiang Chart was quite popular within a certain range. It couldn't be easily obtained. Borrowing a copy to take a look was far from being comparable to the original. For people who always strived for perfection, after seeing the original, they didn't want to copy this product. "It was only meticulously crafted by Her Highness …"
"Not really. I usually have a lot of free time, and when I raise those flowers and plants, I have a habit of organizing the process and compiling it into a book."
"Then I'll have to thank esteemed wangfei." Miss Zhong's face lit up with joy. When she returned, she could show off to her father. At that time, her father would be envious. If the benefits were not enough, he would not even look at it. If the benefits were enough, he would definitely not give it to him.
"You're welcome." Jingwan chuckled. What an innocent and unaffected girl. Fortunately, she was not taken by Prince Kang. Even if the marriage was delayed because of this, even if it was delayed for one or two years, it was still better than jumping into that fire pit.
It must be said that Jingwan's ability in this aspect was something that other people had more or less heard about. Raising flowers and plants, although not everyone liked it very much, but for people like them, it was normal to have one or two pots on hand. At this time, they naturally asked Jingwan.
Jingwan was also not stingy. She told them everything she knew and told them some tips. She didn't say much, but the people who listened benefited a lot.
Because they had already arranged a place, although Jingwan was not familiar with this place, she could casually call for someone in the pavilion to lead the way. However, there was a ready-made guide now.
It was naturally not suitable to be outside in the middle of winter.
According to Jingwan's identity, it was not a problem to reserve a private room. Although there were many people in this kind of place, there would always be a reserved place prepared for high officials and nobles. Jingwan's privilege was more than enough.
The private room here was different from the Naxi room in the restaurant. It was not completely closed, but was separated by a treasure pavilion. Occasionally, there were some screens and some other decorations. It looked elegant and charming. When Jingwan saw it for the first time, she was a little surprised.
The people from Cang Jin had already arrived. There were three people.
Jingwan stepped forward. The people who were with her consciously went to the side. It was enough to "eavesdrop", there was no need to participate.
At the birthday banquet, Jingwan could be considered to be in the "limelight" in various senses. Therefore, when facing the envoys from Cang Jin, there was naturally no "who are you" situation.
"Greetings to Prince Consort Jin." When the three of them saw her, they hurriedly stood up to greet her.
In Cang Jin, they were just officials. They were very respectful to the royal family. In front of the Prince Consort of Qi Yuan, they naturally did not dare to be arrogant.
"Greetings to the three envoys." Jingwan returned the greeting. Then, she took off her cloak and handed it to the servant.
The four of them sat down.
"Because of a little selfish reason, I took the liberty to disturb you. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble." Jingwan said as she looked at the three of them.
Compared to Qi Yuan, Cang Jin's clothing was much simpler. The embroidery was also unique. In Jingwan's opinion, it was more like a certain ethnic group in her previous life. There were no complicated accessories on their heads. Instead, they wore a square hat inlaid with gems. Moreover, they did not look very old. Even the person in charge should be less than forty years old. As for the remaining two, one of them had a tender face. It was unknown if he was really young or just looked young. As for the other one, based on the greeting just now, he was tall and had a darker complexion. His hands also looked rough and powerful. If he guessed correctly, he should be a military general, and the kind with a high status.
"Princess Consort, you are too serious. Cang Jin's female envoys are the most leisurely when they are on diplomatic missions." The person in charge of Cang Jin said with a smile.
"There are benefits to being leisurely. Just like now, other countries don't have this blessing." The woman with a tender face next to her said. She was drinking tea with a smile. Obviously, she liked this tea very much. It was said that Sifang Villa also had a lot of good tea.
The woman who might be a military general also agreed without hesitation.
Jingwan also smiled. She could tell that the three of them were emotional people. At least, they were so when it came to non-official matters.
"Indeed, on such a day, it's natural to stay in a warm place and drink tea, read books, or play chess. It's the best place."
Because the atmosphere at the beginning was more relaxed and cheerful, the conversation became smoother and smoother. The woman with a tender face was probably a loyal fan of Qi Yuan culture. She came here because of the books in Sifang Villa. Jingwan called for the female servant beside her and asked her to bring the woman to read the books.
The remaining three people exchanged the customs and culture of the two countries. They were neither too fast nor too slow. There was a sense of joy and contentment in it.
The two people from Cang Jin also realized that the Princess Consort of Qi Yuan seemed to be different. Logically speaking, the cultural background of the two countries was very different. Because of the internal problems of Cang Jin, women had their own way of living. For example, there were many women in Qi Yuan who were completely dependent on men. Therefore, there was nothing unacceptable about the women from Qi Yuan. On the other hand, some of the ideas of Cang Jin should be very impactful to the women from Qi Yuan. They should be curious, yearning, and have some deep-rooted ideas of their own. It should not be easy for them to accept it. However, this Princess Consort did not seem to be different at all. She accepted it well and talked cheerfully. It made them think that the Princess Consort in front of them was a woman from Cang Jin's royal family who was as ambitious as them.
The two of them looked at each other. Obviously, they saw the same thing in each other's eyes.
