It had rained a little the first night, but by the time the morning drum beat, the sky had cleared up.

Li Mingming stood in the yard, feeling the breeze from Xu Lai. It was a rare good weather in summer.

After everyone ate the court food, Mei Xiang waited for Li Mingming to put on new clothes - a crisp white shirt and a gorgeous six-panel red gauze pomegranate skirt.On the belt and cloak are double-petalled peonies embroidered with gold and red threads.Such complicated embroidery adds a bit of magnificence and solemnity to the originally refreshing and delicate clothes.

In order to match this beautiful dress, Li Mingming asked Mei Xiang to comb a complicated version of the double bun, and put on the golden step of flowers and birds inlaid with red agate. This era is not of a certain grade, and you can't put gold and silver, but the Li family is rich and expensive. It is worth mentioning that in the Gaozong Dynasty, people became more and more extravagant, and no one cared about the excess of jewelry.Li Qianjin has many gold jewelry, this Bu Yao is the most precious among them.

Without Mei Xiang's hands, Li Mingming drew a nude makeup on himself, and finally painted a single-petalled peony flower on his forehead, embellishing his already very beautiful appearance to twelve points.

Ouch, so beautiful!

Not only Li Mingming thought so, Afang Meixiang and others were amazed.In the past, I only knew that the little lady was beautiful, but I didn't know that she was so beautiful!A Fang even felt sensitively that such a beauty should not be exposed in broad daylight, as it could easily cause trouble.

Li Mingming compared the three women he traveled through. Du Shiniang was charming, Cui Yingying was elegant, and Li Qianjin was charming.Own?Li Mingming refused to compare.

As soon as Li Mingming appeared in Fumingju, the manager also showed a look of surprise, and then the manager's stunning value was constantly refreshed and refreshed by Li Mingming.First, he saw the realistic large-scale advertisements, and then he saw pictures of peonies painted by various Chinese and Western techniques. Finally, Li Mingming invited out a 30-meter-long scroll of "Peony Spectrum".

Although he had seen it several times, Li Mingming was still shamelessly amazed by his own painting.

30 meters is really long, and one wall cannot fit, so it is folded at the corner, occupying two walls.

From a distance, there is a long river of flowers, hundreds of thousands of flowers, complex but not chaotic, dense and dense, it looks gorgeous and magnificent; when you look closely, each flower is extremely beautiful, and no two flowers are as long as they are. the same.

He stared dazzledly at the person in charge, "I'm afraid this kind of painting is only suitable for hanging in the Daming Palace."

Li Mingming smiled on the sidelines, people from the Tang Dynasty can really talk.

Zhao Da brought red silk, wooden stakes, and a "Do not touch" sign.Li Mingming ordered to put the isolation belt away.It's okay to see, one meter away.

There is a large table in a conspicuous place in the lobby, on which there is the pot of peonies, a stack of commemorative cards for the art exhibition, and brushes, ink, paper and inkstones.

Li Mingming asked the person in charge to be the host, and explained the rules to him in detail.

The person in charge, who knows a little about ink, is very happy to take on such an important role of Fengya, this is something to show his face!

After the interior is set up, there is a large advertising shelf outside the door, and as soon as the banner of "Peony Painting Exhibition" is hung, the shop begins to enter customers.

Li Mingming looked at it for a while on the second floor, then turned around and entered the elegant room specially prepared for him.The person in charge is very responsible, and also very talented in management. There is no doubt about the employment, and the suspect does not need it. The painting exhibition is handed over to him on the spot.

The person in charge lived up to Li Mingming's entrustment and arranged the whole scene in an orderly manner.He himself was responsible for explaining, and the rest of the staff included those who guided customers, those who maintained order, and those who served tea and water. Zhao Daqian and Er were only responsible for the safety of the paintings.

Gradually, there are more and more people, there are scholars in white clothes, young masters in brocade clothes, beautiful girls, and even an old man, plus servants, the shop is full of people.Some people just watched, some gathered together to discuss, and some sat down and drank a cup of tea...

The steward felt that the time had come, and came to the chief case office, "Everyone, everyone, this shop is entrusted by the owner of the painting to exhibit his peony picture. To help the elegant, please compose a poem. The winner of the referendum will be the owner of the painting." Give it as a gift from his collection of Fengyi peonies!" The steward pointed to the peony branches on the table, imitating Li Mingming's words, "It is the picture on the advertisement outside the door."

There was an uproar in the crowd, who doesn't know Fengyi Peony?Things money can't buy.

Those who consider themselves gifted at the moment are gearing up, not only for Peony, but also for this good opportunity to become famous.Those who want to take the imperial examination next year even think, isn't it easier than submitting papers to the nobles?

The steward stretched out his hand to signal, "Everyone, wait a moment, wait a moment! There is also the second item. All the paintings in this exhibition, except this "Peony Book", are for sale. Those who are interested can pay and register here. Shen Shizheng , when the exhibition is over, the pictures can be taken away.”

You can tell at a glance that this is the pre-sale method of modern art exhibitions that Li Mingming applied.

As for the selling price, it is calculated according to the area.People were first amazed by these paintings, and then shocked by the rare peonies. They almost agreed that these paintings are very expensive. Now, after hearing the price, they think it is still reasonable.

"In order to prepare for the purchase of the painting, the owner of the painting will present a secret note for the exhibition," the manager took out a note card to show, "The top ten poems on the top list can also get this note."

People who didn't have much confidence in Duohua before thought that if they don't get the peony, they can get the note, and it will be an elegant thing to go out and boast about in the future.

The old Taoist priest who had been looking at the painting without speaking suddenly said, "I see that the brushwork of this painting is clear and delicate. Could it be that it was painted by a female benefactor?"

The steward was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "After everyone selects the champion of the poem, the master of the painting will present this pot of peonies as a gift. At that time, the real person will know."

Knowing that the painting might have been painted by a girl, although some honest gentlemen frowned, more people were excited. Such a legendary and glamorous thing made me catch up.

The dandies have already asked their servants to pay the cashier.

Seeing the little guy who helped the cashier keep hanging the small wooden sign of "sold" under the painting, those who hadn't decided to buy it became agitated, and if they didn't buy it, they would be gone.

Those who concentrate on writing poetry have already handed in papers...

Li Mingming was sitting indoors, listening to Mei Xiang's reports from time to time.The palms of the hands are sweaty from tension, but the face is calm and breezy.

The owner of the tea house who was sitting opposite smiled slightly, "My lady is a little thankful to Dongshan."

Xie Dongshan was Xie An. Li Mingming knew that he was using the allusion of the Battle of Feishui, so he smiled and stretched out his hand.

Seeing Li Mingming's white hands, the owner of the restaurant was stunned for a moment, and seeing the wet palms, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Because Pei's mother and son failed to pretend to be a fork before, and this beautiful uncle came in just now, Li Mingming was not so repulsive.At this time, even more shadows of the previous life were revealed, and he smiled narrowly, "It's because I didn't break the teeth of the clogs."

The owner of the restaurant laughed.

"With such a long size, I'm afraid only the Daming Palace can fit it," the owner of the tea house sharpened his eyes, "Is there any hidden secret behind this little lady's exhibition? Why did you come here?"

as expected!Li Mingming thought.

At this time, it is not suitable to reinstall the fork, otherwise there will be disasters if the guarantee is not complete. Politicians have always been creatures who love to think too much.

"My son is the daughter of a merchant in Luoyang, and she fell in love with the young master of Pei Shiyi's family in Chang'an immediately. To make up for the difference in family background, I came up with this strategy." Li Mingming explained the matter generously.

"As for how I found this place, the main reason is that Lang Jun's teahouse is really elegant and big, so it's suitable for a painting exhibition. Just think about it, Lang Jun, if I put the paintings in Orchid's restaurant——"

The owner of the tea house thought about the scene and smiled.In fact, people have already investigated this little lady, and it doesn't seem to be a problem. It's just that I'm used to doubting it over the years, so I always have to confirm it again and again.Thinking about how generous and natural this little lady is when she talks about her personal relationship, today's little ladies are really...

I can think of a little lady who has worked so hard for that son of the Pei family, and I feel a little bit disgusted. Why didn't I meet such a girl when I was young?In a daze, I thought of the days when I went boating in Beihai Lake more than ten years ago, and the little lady sitting opposite was also so bright and so bold...

Seeing the look of the gentleman across from him, Li Mingming didn't bother him, and just drank tea quietly.

After a while, the owner of the restaurant came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Such a good painting should be hung in that bright place... just wait for my news."

Li Mingming raised his eyebrows to look at him, and smiled, "Thank you, sir."

The owner of the tea house shook his head and walked out. Today's young people... don't think they are only 30 years old.
