Red Mansion Kua Kua Group

Qingwen wanted to transform the yard into a game venue similar to the escape room.

There are many novel and interesting places in the capital, and there are also many places for everyone to have fun. If she wants to start with the service industry, it can basically be said to be difficult.Many cross-travelers started by opening restaurants and restaurants, but they don't know that the entertainment and service industries in ancient times were more developed than modern people imagined.

Qingwen didn't have any special skills, so she could only think about starting with this game.She thought about taking advantage of the death in this yard as a foreshadowing, making up a few thrilling stories, and redecorating the house in a novel and interesting way.

Maybe such a unique approach can lead to multiple ways to make money.

Originally, Mrs. Bai and Daiyu were both against it, but after listening to her confide in her plan, they both felt that it was feasible. Daiyu even asked her: "Do you have enough money? Don't worry, I don't want to help you. I want to take a stake."

Qingwen: ...Girl, you should help me, it's okay, I don't have that much self-esteem.

Qingwen asked a middleman to ask about the small yard.

The middleman also took the benefits promised there, and wanted to let go of the house as soon as possible, so he cheered up and helped the two parties negotiate the price.

Finally, Qingwen sold it for 250 taels of silver. Seeing that the house could finally be sold, the owner couldn't wait to give Qingwen all the old furniture and furnishings in his hand.

Qingwen found a good day and began to redecorate the new yard with drums, gongs and firecrackers.She thought about it for a while, and it was best to make an exotic style, which would give people a refreshing feeling. After preliminary planning, she felt that the Western style was very good.

Now that there are missionary activities in central Beijing, the people in the capital are more curious about Western things, so it is the best place to start.

Qingwen asked someone to find a Western church in Yangzhou and found a missionary. The missionary was surprised and delighted when she heard that Qingwen was going to promote Western culture in the capital.Most of the missionaries who can go to foreign lands to preach for their ideals are devout believers, and they have the ability of medicine and architecture. Anyway, Qingwen only wanted some architectural drawings, so he tried his best to help Qingwen draw them and return them to Qingwen. Provides some corresponding decorations and the like.

It’s just that Qingwen smiled and refused all the decorations, and I don’t know what expression this devout priest who is dedicated to promoting God will have if he knows that Qingwen’s secret room is made of dark Gothic.

She used some of her previous experience to complete the yard, and invited many sisters to play after the decoration was completed.

Lin Ruhai refused to let Daiyu come to this courtyard where someone died, and restrained Daiyu that day, but Mrs. Bai herself brought a pillow cloud and came over with Yinglian to have a look.

An Meier, Deng Baoning, and sister Jin all came, and Yingchun and Xichun also came from Jia's house.

Qingwen rushed up to greet her with a smile. She never thought that An Meier, Deng Baoning, and sister Jin would give her face, because in the past when these noble ladies were having fun, Qingwen was just a maid. People will politely refuse.For example, Tanchun, Baochai and Xiangyun did not come today.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, everyone saw that the courtyard was tidy and tidy, with a layer of tung oil inside and outside, exuding a faint smell of paint, and praised in unison.

Qingwen pursed her lips and smiled: "If you're timid, you won't be able to go in for a while." An Meier was so frightened that she came over and grabbed her hand first.

Sister Jin joked: "You can't follow Qingwen, you have to follow the fiancee of Wu Zhuangyuan." This is joking about Deng Baoning. I'm afraid that I will make a small appointment soon.

Baoning is generous, but she blushes and lets everyone make fun of her. She is a bold one, so she asks: "Why are there so many thorns on the wall? Why don't you clean it?"

Qingwen said with a smile: "This is to build a garden, to create that kind of Western-style atmosphere."

Looking at the row of fans in the main hall hung with bats made of cloth, Mrs. Bai was curious: "It turns out that the Western Regions are just like us, they all pay attention to bats to bring blessings."

Qingwen couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to explain: "In Western culture, bats come and go at night, which is a thing to scare children. When people mention bats, they think of the night and the unknown, which is different from us."

Mrs. Bai suddenly realized this, but Sister Jin was quite happy for Qingwen: "No matter what, a row of bats hanging in a patchwork pattern at your door is a good sign of happiness. Business will definitely be booming."

Qingwen smiled and said, "I entrust you with a good word."

Entering the main hall, I saw black and red veils hanging in a large area of ​​the room, fluttering in the wind, quite frightening, Xichun was timid, and hugged An Meier in fear.There are a few dead trees in the middle of the hall, and a waning moon hangs from the beams next to it.A crow was also heard in the tree.

Mrs. Bai praised: "Ancient vines, old trees, faint crows! It has artistic conception!"

Crowd: ...

Qingwen: ... Shouldn't you be afraid?

Then enter a side hall, but there is a western red and gold carpet, on which there is a set of black tables and chairs, the chairs are covered with red velvet, the lines of the tables and chairs are smooth and complicated, full of rich layers and exquisiteness. Meticulous carving.

Bao Ning fell in love with it at a glance: "I want to do this as a dowry!"

Qingwen raised her forehead: Ancestor, you bring such a set of dark furniture, are you playing vampire play with your future husband?

She smiled and said, "This is the furniture I specially ordered from Quanzhou, and I made it according to the drawings."

Each house has its own style, and everyone looked at it with gusto, Bao Ning asked again: "Could it be that people come to see the house?"

Qingwen said: "There is a story, and the people who come here have to dress up as Westerners and decipher the story."

Baoning called it interesting.Can't wait to come to play now, Qingwen explained with a smile: "The clothes are not finished yet, I will send you a set when it is finished. Then I will ask you to solve the puzzle and play."

After leaving the courtyard, Baoning, An Meier, and sister Jin went home without mentioning that Mrs. Bai invited Yingchun and Xichun to visit Daiyu in the mansion, and the two naturally went happily.

When I arrived at the Lin Mansion, I met Daiyu and talked about what happened in the morning, and Daiyu was fascinated by it. Qingwen couldn't bear her being locked up at home, so she said: "If you are idle and bored later on, I will send you a piece of paper as well." Clothes, you can wear them at home to enjoy yourself."

Yingchun said something about Jia's mansion: "There was a big event in the mansion that day. It turned out that the family had no money to support, so Tanchun secretly transported out a box of gold and silver guys that the old lady couldn't find out together with the mandarin ducks. Thousands of taels of silver, but for some reason, the eldest lady found out, and went to the old lady to make a fuss, and the third sister cried and said that she wanted to send a gift from the Nan'an mansion and prepare for the Double Ninth Festival for the empress. The red and white gift at home requires at least three or two thousand taels of silver, and it is difficult to borrow it for a while."

Xichun added: "Speaking of which, only the third sister is capable among us sisters, she asked the old lady, only me and the mandarin ducks around the old lady know about this matter, how do outsiders know? The wife sold the mandarin duck, saying that it was the mandarin duck who said it."

"The third sister sneered. When I took it out secretly, I couldn't say that half a month's worth of money came, so I redeemed it and returned it. I can't make my sister fall. Now that something happened, I am still worried that I will hurt my sister. Who knows? The black hands behind my sister?"

Daiyu remained silent, she knew about this incident, but it was Sister Feng who pawned the old lady's things at that time, and it was revealed that Sister Feng was responsible for it at the time. Chunlai takes the blame.It's just that Tanchun is an aunt who hasn't left the cabinet after all, and she still has some status, so she dares to directly turn against the general and arrest the informer.

Yingchun sighed at the side: "Who knew that sister Yuanyang was that kind of person? Didn't she always hate the eldest wife? Why do you still have such thoughts?"

Xichun didn't understand either, she shook her head and said nothing.

Daiyu asked, "Then the old lady punished the third sister?"

"That's not true. I just sighed and took some money out of my own money, so that Sister Tanchun can cherish it."

Daiyu was a little surprised: "The family is so reticent?"

Yingchun nodded: "Isn't it? Not only that, the servants in the mansion either rolled dice or fought cards, and started a game of gambling, and even the head of the game, or a big win or loss. Half a month ago, there was Those who fight and fight each other are in a mess."

Jia's family is now dying, and Daiyu didn't know how to comfort her, so she asked her, "How is your sister's dowry?"

Talking about her dowry, Yingchun's eyes brightened; "I've finished embroidering the return gift over there, and there's only one wedding dress left."

Daiyu gave her an idea: "You should embroider more handkerchiefs and purses. There are many relatives over there. If there is something we missed here, you will be more generous to reward others in a hurry."

She was in charge of the house, and she had her own way of doing things, so Yingchun nodded in agreement.

After Yingchun and Xichun left, Mrs. Bai came to ask Daiyu: "What is the character, words and deeds of that An Meier who is with you on weekdays?"

Daiyu guessed that Mrs. Bai wanted to be a matchmaker after seeing An Meier today, and immediately said: "She is not that bluffing, she has a stable temperament, and she doesn't overestimate others, her character is precious, the most rare thing is She treats people peacefully, but she had scars on her cheeks in the early years, so she always had some knots in her heart."

Mrs. Bai thought for a while: "There is a child from a side branch of my natal family. His family is relatively poor. He only works in the countryside and studies in the family. My sister-in-law asked me to take a look to see if there are any suitable women. I think Meier is suitable, but I just need to ask the sister-in-law what she means."

Ever since she knew Mei'er, Daiyu knew that An's family was anxious about her life-long affairs, so she suggested with a smile: "Speaking of which, the two families are still relatives. My great-grandmother is the girl from the An's family, and the two families are considered old relatives. You can tell me when you turn around." Dad will help you find out."

When the palace examination released the rankings, Fu Yunfei actually won the Jinshi and won the first prize.

The author has something to say: squeezed out...
