?Chapter 672: 266 grand finale_1 Chapter 672: 266 grand finale_1 Hot Spring Villa once again became well-known throughout The Capital, first due to the vigorous promotion by all the ladies and second because Yang Mengchen’s enchanting painting ‘Hibiscus Forest’ was auctioned for sixty thousand taels of silver. It was unfortunate that the bloom of the hibiscus flowers had passed, and everyone couldn’t experience it in person, leaving them to sigh in regret.
It was said that Hot Spring Villa also featured vast plantations of plum, peach, and pear blossoms, attracting countless scholars and literati to send Yang Mengchen invitation cards, hoping they could visit when the time came.
Yang Mengchen looked at the pile of invitation cards on the table. The flower grove had only reached such splendor this year. Since everyone was interested, she found it hard to decline, so she wrote up a new rule, giving one copy for He Junyuan to publicize in The Capital and another to the steward of Hot Spring Villa.
The rule stated: Each guest visiting Hot Spring Villa would pay six hundred taels for three days, the same cost applied even for just a one-day stay, and if they wished to stay beyond three days, another six hundred taels would be required.
If the scenery of Hot Spring Villa was as beautiful as the ladies described and as shown in the ‘Hibiscus Forest’ painting, everyone felt that six hundred taels were fair, especially the scholars and literati who didn’t care about money and were eagerly awaiting the blooming of the plum blossoms in January, some even paid in advance to reserve their visit.
