Chapter 189: Pomp
Xing'er quickly placed the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and even the pen wash and paperweight she brought according to Dong Ruyi's requirements.
Xiangju finished the teacup in her hand, hurriedly came over and picked up Dong Ruyi, Xing'er took advantage of this kung fu to quickly lay out the cushion on the chair, and then put the cushion.
They are very fast, and there is no hint of delaying time.
And Qin Huai was already dumbfounded.
Chen Shuo was equally shocked, although he didn't pay attention to these, it didn't mean that he didn't have eyesight.
His gaze fell on the ruler that Xing'er had just put down.
Although gilded jade Ruyi is valuable, it is not a rare object, but the color of the jade Ruyi is pale yellow, which is not common.
He carefully picked up the ruler, and couldn't help but be slightly shocked that the pale yellow was not jade, but ivory.
Such a large piece of ivory is rare in the palace.
Dong Ruyi has dug out the bottom this time, this gilded ivory Ruyi ruler was obtained by her only a few years ago, and it was a New Year's gift from Mrs. An.
In addition to the steward, there is also a mother, and the An family is so goodwill, Dong Ruyi naturally won't take it seriously, she met the mother in person.
At that time, the mother said, "This gilded ivory ruyi ruler is one of the dowries that the emperor gave to our county lord." Our county lord likes it, and he has always been reluctant to use it, so he thought that he would give her a dowry when he had a daughter in the future. It's just that who would have thought that our county lord gave birth to four masters in a row, and until our county horse died at sea in battle, he didn't give birth to a daughter. As soon as our county lord saw this thing, he would think of the county horse, and then he simply asked people to put it away, saying that when the four masters have daughters in the future, they will see who they want to dowry. A while ago, our county lord knew about Miss Ruyi, and he actually remembered it, no, our county lord said at the time, the An family is not capable of giving birth to a daughter, it is better to send Miss Ruyi, just Ruyi to Ruyi. The slave maid sees that this is fate, and I am afraid that this ivory Ruyi ruler is the little master of Miss Ruyi. ”
Chen Shuo put down the ruler and looked at the pen wash, Jun porcelain in the Song Dynasty.
This is the New Year's gift, Xuanyuan Yi asked people to send a New Year's gift, saying that it was for her to play.
"Gold is priceless and priceless", Jun porcelain has been a royal thing since Song Huizong, Dong Ruyi got such a good thing, naturally it will not be returned.
She asked people to prepare two sets of good study and four treasures and gave them a gift in return.
Although Dong Ruyi's gift is not as important as theirs, the Xuanyan in Jingde County is not something that anyone can find.
Chen Shuo couldn't see anything else at the moment, he looked at these two objects from the palace, and couldn't understand why these things appeared in the Chen family.
He really wanted to call Mrs. Chen over and ask, has the Chen family raised children like this now?
He looked up at Qin Huai, who was staring at Mother Liao who was laying the plate at the moment.
Liao's mother's dim sum is eight sweet and eight small salty.
Dong Ruyi originally arranged it this way just to delay time, but she didn't expect Liao's mother to be so caring, so she actually made sixteen snacks.
When Liao's mother did it, she said: "There are still the old lady of the Chen family and Uncle Qin in the study, we are not afraid of doing more, it's a big deal to get it back, let's divide it; I think we should just be more generous, eight sweet, eight salty, it just so happens that there is still blood swallow stewed on my stove, and we even have Uncle Qin's share ready. If Uncle Qin doesn't eat it, let's send it to Master Chen, Master Chen is not an accountant in the first place, and he will be happy when the time comes. ”
Mother Zhou naturally agreed, so she brought these over.
Chen Shuo looked at the small table, there were sixteen plates stacked, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
The sixteen plates that decorate this dessert are different from the others, all of them have bases, the plates are large and the bases are small, and they are stacked on top of each other to look particularly good.
Shan Liao's mother stacks the handle of plates, and she will never be able to put it out if she has not practiced for ten or eight years.
Looking at the dim sum that was nearly half a person high, Chen Shuo couldn't say a word.
Seeing that everyone in the house was looking at her, Liao's mother bowed down and bowed to Mrs. Chen, and said embarrassedly: "It's been too long to delay the old lady's time, I haven't waved it for too long, and my hands are raw." ”
Qin Huai said in his heart: "Where is this speed slow?" ”
Dong Ruyi's heart was completely happy, what she wanted was this kind of procrastination that didn't look like procrastination.
Xiangju put a bowl of rose tea in front of Dong Ruyi, and Dong Ruyi took a sip.
Chen Shuo looked at the rose tea in Dong Ruyi's hand, and then looked at the study that had changed its appearance, knowing that he had just asked Qin Huai to make rose tea.
At this moment, he didn't want to pursue it, if he asked them to remove the things, it might take a long time, and eighty percent of this kid would also make trouble for a while.
He looked at Dong Ruyi, who had an innocent face, and said in his heart: "It's important to write an article first, and the rest will be released later." ”
Chen Shuo looked at everyone and said, "Let's go out when you're done." ”
Zhou's mother hurriedly saluted and retreated with everyone.
Chen Shuo looked at the room full of food and use, and even lit incense, he turned his head to look at Dong Ruyi and said, "Write, write for me now." ”
Dong Ruyi picked up the ink and began to grind it slowly, and Qin Huai on the side took it and said, "Uncle Shi will grind it for you." ”
Dong Ruyi had a tangle in her heart, whether she was really slow to grind ink.
Chen Shuo thought about it all night yesterday, and then realized that he was unknowingly calculated by Dong Ruyi, because of Dong Ruyi's arrival, he wasted half a day's time.
He had a letter sent out early in the morning, and no matter what, he had to have the top five papers copied in case of emergency.
Not only that, but he also deliberately asked Chen Jingzhi to speak.
He knew that he was moved by emotion and reason, and after talking for a long time, the son who admitted death still persuaded him not to participate in the imperial examination.
He angrily said directly that there must be someone behind Dong Ruyi, and said such a thorough plan, it is impossible for a child to plan so far.
As a result, Chen Jingzhi not only didn't believe it, but also explained it for Dong Ruyi one by one.
The two of them asked and answered.
Chen Shuo asked: "Why is the initial examination and the hospital examination paper mediocre, but now it can be on the list of people?"
Chen Jingzhi said what happened at the beginning, Sister Ru didn't plan to take the imperial examination at the beginning, it was he who drove the ducks to the shelves. And Sister Ru made an article in front of him early in the morning, except for slow writing, it is not a matter at all to be on the list, as for the mediocre article, it is afraid of provoking the attention of the Dong family, and afraid that the Dong family will interfere with her exam.
Chen Shuo asked about the bet again, no matter what he said, Chen Jingzhi always had something to explain.
In the end, Chen Shuo said angrily: "If she didn't design it in advance, then how can the handwriting of the township test be explained?"
