Chapter 246: The Greeting Gift
I have to say that Jianing's vision is vicious, and with a few words, Li Yuyao's summary is incisive and accurate.
But only she dared to say this, Qin E and Huiniang could only smile.
The three of them continued to speak, and after a while, Princess Chun sent someone to call Jianing, and Qin E and Huiniang accompanied her to Mingde Hall. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the hospital, he bumped into Li Qiong head-on.
Jianing walked in the front and bumped into Li Qiong. Qin E helped her and said to Li Qiong, who was stunned in place: "Eighth cousin, why are you here?"
Li Qiong held the painting in her hand and looked at her stupidly.
Jianing straightened his crooked steps, and said angrily: "Who is this?
"This is Li Qiong, the second son of the Li family. After Qin E finished speaking, she gave Li Qiong a look, "Eighth cousin, this is the county lord of Jianing." ”
Li Qiong finally came back to her senses, took two steps back, and saluted with both hands, "I didn't notice it for a while, and I collided with the county lord, please forgive the county lord." ”
Qin E couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when Li Qiong was not stupid, she was really a gentle and elegant noble son.
Sure enough, Jianing's face looked better, and she said to Qin E: "You said that he is the second son of the Li family, why do you call him the eighth cousin?"
Qin E said: "The Li family's generation is sorted by the whole family, and he is exactly eighth. ”
Jianing let out an "oh", "What about the eldest grandmother who followed the eldest lady just now?"
"That's the wife of the fifth cousin of the Li family. ”
Jianing wrinkled his nose, "It's really complicated. ”
Jianing said to Li Qiong: "Li Gongzi can walk slower next time, and if you hit the key point again, I won't be able to get out of this door today." ”
Li Qiong hung her head and said no.
Hui Niang greeted him with a smile, "Is Li Gongzi holding a new painting in his hand?"
Qin E's sharp eyes saw Li Qiong's ears turn red, "It's new." ”
Qin E cleared her throat and lied calmly under Jianing's inquiring gaze: "It's so cold outside, and my throat is so uncomfortable." ”
Li Qiong lived up to her expectations and calmed down, "I heard that Cousin Qin is sick, come and take a look." I was afraid that my cousin would be bored, so I brought a new painting to her by the way. ”
Li Qiong said something serious, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth, and heart, but Qin E felt that his eyes were drifting towards Hui Niang one by one.
Qin E decided to help Li Qiong, and said to Jianing: "Eighth cousin's paintings are very famous in the northwest, go to the northwest and ask for a picture of Danqing's wonderful hand Li Qiong's paintings, and there are many people who rob them." Let's go inside and have a look. ”
Jianing really became interested, and several people came to the house and spread out the painting on the bookcase.
Qin E thought it was a picture of a maid, but she didn't want it to be a very freehand landscape painting. The distant mountains are like daisies, and a fisherwoman's boat passes, although there is only a back, but you can still feel the lightness of the body.
Qin E didn't know if she was too careful, but she always felt that the back image of the fisherman was very good for Hui Niang.
"It's a good picture. Hui Niang sighed stupidly.
Li Qiong's eyes immediately popped up with ecstasy, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”
Huiniang was stunned, Qin E immediately coughed violently, "Eighth cousin loves to send paintings, and I'm used to sending them." Ahem, ahem. ”
Glaring at him quietly as she spoke, Li Qiong was also shocked that her words and deeds were inappropriate, and she laughed a little embarrassedly.
At this time, Jianing suddenly said: "Give me this painting!"
The three of them were all shocked, but Jianing didn't care at all, her eyes stared at the painting, "This painting is good, Li Gongzi will give it to me." ”
Li Qiong said dryly: "This, I'm nothing, I'm just afraid that the etiquette is incompatible... ”
Jianing thought for a while, "It's a little unruly, it's okay, I'll go ask the old lady." ”
After finishing speaking, he rolled up the painting and went to Mingde Hall. When Qin E and the others chased after him, they heard Jianing pestering Li Lao Taijun to ask for something, "Old Taijun, you can give me this painting, and I will hang it in my father's study when I go back." He built a new study a few days ago, but he has not found a suitable painting, and he is very distressed, this painting must be to his heart. ”
Princess Chun scolded: "Jianing, Hugh is rude. ”
The old lady smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I like the little girl like this, what you want to say it generously, the girls in the northwest are like this." Although Jianing grew up in the capital, his temperament is the same as when I was back. Saying that, he glanced at Li Qiong, "I haven't seen Princess Chun yet." ”
Li Qiong stepped forward respectfully and saluted, and Princess Chun smiled: "This is the second son of the house." ”
"He is the youngest in the family, and he is the least motivated, his brother dances with guns and sticks, and he dances and writes all day long. ”
Li Qiong lowered her head, and Princess Chun said: "The eldest prince is a hero, but the second prince is also a leader among people. A good man doesn't necessarily have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, Wen Neng Dingbang, and talents like the second son are also very important. ”
Mrs. Li showed pride on his face, but he still said in his mouth: "He didn't do anything good to learn, he was obsessed with painting all day long." ”
Qin E looked at Li Qiong quietly, and saw that Li Qiong's face was depressed, and she stood aside with her head down.
Qin E couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if Li Qiong was born in a noble family of literati, now he is only afraid of being held by the stars, but unfortunately he grew up in a military general's family, and everything he is good at has become his shortcomings.
People's self-confidence and pride are actually achieved by others.
"I think the second son is very good, the prince is a person who loves to paint, he often says that the character is picturesque, the paintings made by high-minded people must be elegant and dusty, and the paintings made by people who sink into fame and fortune must be utilitarian and impetuous. From the painting of the second son, you can see that the second son is a high-minded person. ”
Li Qiong, who had been standing silently, was slightly moved, "Don't dare, the princess praised it." ”
Princess Chun asked people to bring things, "A little greeting gift." ”
Qin E glanced at the tray, two trays, one with a whole box of lake pens on it, and one inkstone, which looked like an ordinary meeting gift. However, the other one has a neat knife of paper stacked on it, which is a bit too valuable.
Qin E couldn't help but glance at Princess Chun, Princess Chun had a dignified smile on her face, looking at Li Qiong calmly, unable to see her thoughts.
Li Qiong hesitantly glanced at Mrs. Li, who said to Princess Chun: "He is a junior, and you value him too much." ”
"The sword is given to the hero, these things are just right for the second son. ”
Mrs. Li nodded at Li Qiong, and Li Qiong stepped forward to accept it, "Thank you, princess." ”
Jianing said: "Old lady, my mother gave a meeting gift, then this painting is your meeting gift to me." ”
Mrs. Li laughed and said, "That old body can be cheapened." ”
Princess Chun glared at Jianing half disgusted and half doting, but didn't say anything. Li Qiong's painting was kicked away by Jianing in a daze.
Before leaving, Jianing also said to Li Qiong: "When will Li Gongzi have a new painting, remember to tell me." ”
In a trance, Li Qiong looked at Qin E inexplicably, Qin E shrugged helplessly, "Jianing, she has always been like this, well, recklessly." ”
Li Qiong sighed with some resentment and looked at Hui Niang. Qin E pulled Huiniang to say goodbye in a hurry, for fear that if she walked half a step late, Li Qiong would say something out of the ordinary in despair, which would ruin a big deal.
Another day later, Qin E prepared the charter for the banquet, but the eldest lady Qu told her that the banquet was temporarily put on hold, because King Chun's mansion came to post.
