peaceful ancient life

Chapter 44
The business in the Wei family bookstore is booming, and most of the people who come and go are for the words "Legend of Concubine Yang".

Before the book started selling, Wei Xueqing ordered someone to put up a billboard outside the book shop to promote the book, which was very effective. Since the book started selling, the book shop's business has continued to rise.

The quality of the book is quite good, and everyone who has read it likes it, and it has become famous far and wide as it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Due to the hot sales of "Legend of Concubine Yang", it has even driven the already flat sales of "Ask You How Much Worry You Can Have".

With the hot sales of "Ask the King How Much Sorrow Can You Have" and "Legend of Concubine Yang", the verses in it have gradually been spread.

Everyone was amazed by these quatrains in the book, and many literati couldn't put it down even more. They specially extracted all the verses in the book and read them carefully.

Today's people are familiar with Li Yu's Bodhisattva Man, Li Bai's Qingping Tune and Bai Juyi's Song of Everlasting Regret.And the poems written by Mrs. Huarui are also very popular.

Flags are lowered on the head of the king's city,
The concubine found out in the deep palace.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are disarmed,
No one is a boy.

And those literati's favorites are Qingping Diao and Song of Everlasting Regret, and they are heartbroken that these peerless lines should appear in the scriptures.

But some boudoir ladies who have read these two books pay attention to the love-hate love in the book.Especially the kind of love between Concubine Yang Gui and Tang Xuanzong with 3000 beauties in the harem, and [-] dotes on one body.

settle down.

An Ning didn't know about the heated discussion outside about her book.

Ever since An Ning participated in the birthday party of Mrs. Shengyang Hou's wife, she has not participated in any banquets. After all, she is engaged and needs to embroider her wedding dress at home. It was custom-made in an embroidery workshop outside, but it is not easy to go out and walk around.

Although reading story books, practicing calligraphy, and playing music every day is quite leisurely, but watching Yang and An Nuannuan often live the flower viewing party today and the tea tasting party tomorrow. Enriched, it is simply too happy to leave.

But I can only stay at home by myself, there is no harm if there is no comparison, she wants to cry so much, and she also wants to go out to play.

Recently, Li Yun, Yang Yurou, Qian Yushu, etc. are also busy participating in various flower viewing parties. After all, they have reached their age. Seeing that An Ning, who is younger than them, has been settled, their mother is also anxious to take them. I went out to see each other, so I didn't have time to talk to An Ning.

And Wei Xueqing is busy taking care of the book shop. Recently, "Legend of Concubine Yang" has started selling, and its popularity has directly led to the previously silent "Ask You How Much Sorrow You Have", and the printing shop is working overtime. She is printing these two books and selling them. She has been so busy recently that she is on the verge of getting angry.

Although An Ning can't go to the flower viewing party, she can go shopping and drink tea by herself, but she doesn't have a company, and her brothers are not free, so she can't be bothered to go out by herself.

Seeing that everyone was busy, she had no choice but to find a way to pass the time by herself.

An Ning took a look and found that the handmade soaps she made this year were almost used up, so she asked Ah Zi to order the little maid to collect some flower petals and prepare to make some handmade soaps. This time, she planned to make more for Wei Xueqing and the others. Use it, so the petals collected in my garden will not be enough, so let Ah Zi go out and buy more.

After everything was ready, the production started. Due to the large quantity, An Ning was really busy for several days before finishing.

Take a delicate little flower basket, spread a layer of white silk inside, put the pink soap on it, and put a piece of rice paper inside to write the name and usage of the soap, such a small flower basket twists and looks down Also quite chic.

Call Ah Zi to ask her to send these delicate flower baskets filled with soap to Wei Xueqing and the others.

Wei Xueqing and others who received the small gifts all replied back to thank them, saying they liked it very much.

After she was done with the soap, she was free again.

On this day, An Ning received a post from Li Yun, inviting her to go to Guangyuan Temple to offer incense together in a few days.

An Ning was very excited when she received the post, her house was almost moldy, and she was finally able to go out for a while, so happy~
The appointed day has come.

An Ning got up early, packed up and went to Yang's yard to wait for Li Yun and the others.

An Ning, who was chatting with Yang Shi and An Nuannuan, heard that Wei Xueqing and the others had arrived, and said goodbye to Yang Shi and An Nuannuan with a smile, then took A Zixing to the gate of An's house in a hurry.

When I came to the door, besides the carriages parked outside the door, there were several young masters waiting on horseback, namely Tang Yan, Li Yuan, the eldest son Liu Chengzhi and the second son of Duke Anguo's mansion. Liu Tingzhi, Yang Yurou's eldest brother Yang Chu and second brother Yang Fan.

Seeing so many people, An Ning was a little confused, didn't he say to go to incense?Why do you feel like you want to go for an outing? Could it be that my posture is wrong when I go out?
An Ning didn't know that because she hadn't been out for a long time, Tang Yan couldn't see An Ning for so long, and couldn't go to An's house to meet her, so he could only create an opportunity to meet her.

Tang Yan arranged this trip to offer incense. Li Yuan persuaded Li Yun to ask An Ning to go out to offer incense. He and Li Yuan were responsible for escorting them.In this way, he will be able to meet the beautiful woman he longs for day and night in an open and aboveboard manner.

Tang Yan planned well at first, and asked Li Yuan to send Li Yun away when he arrived at Guangyuan Temple, so that he could be alone with An Ning for a while.

As a result, people are not as good as God, and Liu Xuan found out about going to Shangxiang, so she also went, and now even Liu Chengzhi and Liu Tingzhi had to escort them, so Li Yun simply made an appointment with Wei. Xueqing and Yang Yurou, Yang Chu and Yang Fan heard that they also came.

So the four-person trip that Tang Yan planned to arrive at Guangyuan Temple turned into a multi-person trip.

An Ning thought that she, Li Yun, Wei Xueqing and Yang Yurou were the only ones going to Shangxiang this time, so she was stunned when she saw so many people outside the door.

Li Yuan, who was chatting with someone over there, saw An Ning who was stunned after he came out, and greeted An Ning with a smile, "Aunt Biao."

An Ning smiled and nodded towards him when he heard the words, and blessed Tang Yan and the others by the way.

"A'Ning, come up quickly." Wei Xueqing and the others in the carriage heard the voice and called out as they raised the curtains.

An Ning looked up and saw Li Yun, Li Jingxin, and Liu Xuan were sitting in the front carriage, while Wei Xueqing and Yang Yurou were sitting in the second carriage, and the servant girls were sitting in the rear carriage.

With a smile on An Ning's face, he walked towards Wei Xueqing's carriage, came to the front of the carriage, stepped on the small stool the coachman put on the ground, and took Yang Yurou's outstretched hand to step on the carriage.

After sitting down, An Ning asked strangely: "Are we going to burn incense? Why does it feel like going out in the countryside?"

Wei Xueqing smiled and said: "After the incense, I went to the mountain to taste tea and enjoy the scenery. If you haven't been there, you don't know. The scenery near Guangyuan Temple is the beauty of civilization far and near. I went to Guangyuan Temple but didn't go to enjoy it. Wouldn’t it be a pity to see such a beautiful scene.”

Guangyuan Temple is a temple located in Dashanli on the outskirts of the capital city. Although it is located in the outskirts, but because of hearing that this temple is very effective, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries who come here to offer incense, and the incense is extremely prosperous.

The scenery near the temple is beautiful, the green mountains overlap one another, and the hazy distant mountains are shrouded in a layer of light veil, shadowy, indistinct, distant and near in the misty clouds and smoke. blue sky.
With such beautiful scenery, even if you don’t go to the temple to offer incense, many literati and elegant guests like to meet here to drink tea and enjoy the scenery, and recite poems and paint by the way.

"It's really so beautiful, you must go and see it, otherwise it's thanks to you." An Ning said with a smile.

Yang Yurou glanced at An Ning with a smile, and picked up a fruit, "Don't worry, you won't be disappointed." She took a bite, felt delicious after eating, and kept eating one after another.

Seeing that she was enjoying eating, An Ning also reached out and picked up a fruit to taste, um, it was so sweet.

"By the way, Ah Ning, thank you for the soap." Wei Xueqing smiled.

At this moment, Yang Yurou also put down the fruit in her hand and said with a smile: "Yes, Ah Ning, that soap is really easy to use and smells very fragrant. I still smell good after taking a bath last night. You can smell it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to An Ning.

An Ning grabbed her hand and gently pulled it, causing Yang Yurou to lie directly on An Ning's lap. Yang Yurou looked up at An Ning in a daze, only to see An Ning reached out to gently lift her chin, lowered her head and sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "Well, this beauty is indeed fragrant."

"Hehe~" Wei Xueqing couldn't help but chuckle as she watched An Ning's teasing Yang Yurou.
