Chapter 263: A Family
When Luo Jinyan's ink ingots were ready, Luo Shao asked Yuanshan to invite Qin Jue to come over and give him the paperweights, inkstones and ink ingots. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Qin Jue thanked him for his kindness, and Luo Shao proudly told him: "The ink ingot is made by my own hands, and I have used it, which is not inferior to the pine smoke ink of the Huang family." ā
The Huang family is a family of ink makers, and the Huang family's pine smoke ink is even more difficult to find.
Qin Jue let Mingyue hold a few other things, but he carried the box containing ink all the way.
His limelight is too strong, so he doesn't want to show off this time, the emperor intends to let him be a leader, and he will definitely be on the list.
But now, he was hesitant.
He didn't expect that he would make ink for him by hand, there are so many people in the world who read like a cow's hair, how many people can get their beloved wife to make ink by themselves?
If he doesn't take the Huiyuan exam, then he will be sorry for her.
When he returned to Mingyuan Hall, he pondered what to send to Luo Jinyan, sweeping the red every day to go to Luo's house, but it was to send some small things, and when those things were added together, they were not as good as the ink ingots made by himself.
He thought about it, then found a box and handed it to Sao Hong: "Tell Miss Luo that although this is an old thing, please accept it." ā
After Luo Jinyan received the box, he didn't open it immediately, and didn't take out the box from under the pillow until he lay on the bed at night.
The milk swallow of red sandalwood is cast into the forest box, which is antique and has been for some years.
An emerald green bracelet lay quietly inside.
Luo Jinyan is a person who knows the goods, and at a glance he can see that although this bracelet has an excellent water head, it is not a rare thing, and there are many better than this in her makeup box.
On weekdays, Qin Jue is very particular about the things he gave her, except for the small timed head, he only gave her one piece of jewelry, which is the peony flower he made himself.
Although that flower can't be worn, it is extremely elegant, and it was made by Qin Jue himself, and the meaning is different.
He wouldn't easily find a bracelet to give her.
Sao Hong said that this is an old thing.
Could it be something left behind by his grandmother or mother?
Luo Jinyan simply buried his face in the quilt, he hasn't married yet, what is he going to do?
She put the bracelet back in the box again, if it was really something left by the Qin family's ancestors, it would be too valuable, and the next time she saw him, she must return it to him.
In Luo Shao's house, Zhang took a brocade box to show him, and said: "My mother asked people to send it to Xixi, and my father used the ink made by Xixi after researching, and praised the good ink." ā
Luo Shao and Yourong grinned.
Zhang said to him with a smile: "My mother told me before, Qin Yuzhang is such an outstanding character, I don't know what kind of girl to find, now, seeing our pity, I know what a match made in heaven is." ā
Luo Shao laughed and said to Zhang: "Yuzhang is good, and what is even more rare is that he can get the guidance of his father-in-law." ā
Zhang Shi glanced at him and said coquettishly: "You, you are a stupid goose, can't you see the friendship between my father and Qin Yuzhang?"
Luo Shao was stunned: "My father-in-law has a lot of eyes on him, and I want to come because of the Qin family, and secondly, because of Yuzhang's talent." ā
Zhang's laughed, Luo Shao was inexplicably laughed by her, and Zhang said: "Before Qin Yuzhang became your son-in-law, my father treated him as a peer. ā
Luo Shao opened his mouth wide, Qin Jue could get a different look from Mr. Fengyang, at first he thought that it was because Qin Jue was a child of the Qin family, after knowing Zhang Jin, he knew that Zhang Jin didn't take his background seriously, so he took it for granted that Zhang Jin took a fancy to Qin Jue's literary talent.
But no matter how good Qin Jue's article is, Mr. Fengyang shouldn't treat him as an equal.
"What's going on?" Luo Shao asked as he helped Zhang to lean on the pillow.
Zhang laughed again and said, "Qin Yuzhang and my father are brothers in the same sect. ā
Luo Shao opened his mouth wide, and it took a while to come back to his senses and ask, "Which one is the same door?"
Zhang's Wan'er: "The Liu family in Wuqiao is the Liu family who conjure tricks, and they have been learning tricks in the Liu family for a few months together. You have to keep it a secret, the tricks of the Liu family are never passed on to people with foreign surnames, so the Liu family taught them in private, and the two of them are dissatisfied with one bottle, and half a bottle is dangling, the Liu family is worried that they will damage their own reputation, and they have told them not to think that they are disciples of the Liu family."
Luo Shao stayed there completely.
He felt that his cognition had been subverted, and those who conjured belonged to the lower ninth rate, and his father-in-law, who was the number one Confucian in the world, and his quasi-son-in-law, who was full of Jinghua, not only studied art in the Liu family, but were also disliked by others.
The next day, Luo Jinyan called Bai Jiuniang over and said to her: "I don't have anything to do with me for a while, you go back to the river and do something for me." ā
As she spoke, she handed a piece of paper to Bai Jiuniang: "Keep it in your heart." ā
Bai Jiuniang took the piece of paper and looked at it, and saw that there were several names on it, and there was also a birthday eight characters.
She read it a few times, memorized all the words on it, and nodded to Luo Jinyan: "I have written it down." ā
Luo Jinyan picked up the flint, burned the piece of paper to ashes, told Bai Jiuniang, and sent her out.
In the afternoon, Luo Shao had just left the office, and Lin Cong's letter arrived.
Li Yi and his entourage got off the boat in Tianjin, Lin Cong had already picked up, changed the carriage and horses, and was going to enter Beijing in the next two days.
Lin Cong arrived in Tianjin two days in advance.
Poplar Hutong was busy, and Zhang sent someone to deliver a letter to the lotus pond.
Luo Shao was very satisfied when he learned that Zhang had sent a letter to the lotus pond. Although Li Yi is only a businessman, he is the elder brother of the Li family, representing a cherished foreign family, and the Zhang family did this, not only to give Li Yi face, but also out of respect for the Li family.
Two days later, Li Yi was accompanied by Li Qingfeng and came to the capital in the dust.
At the same time, there was also Aunt Li, the business in Yangzhou was handed over to the eldest son Li Qingfan, and the middle feed of the family was handed over to Grandma Fan.
Luo Jinyan hadn't seen his uncle and aunt for a few years, and he had a good time after meeting.
The Zhang family sent the second grandmother of the Zhang family over, and the second grandfather of the Zhang family was transferred to Ren Tongzhi of Zhending Mansion in Beizhili last month, and the second grandmother who had been following the second master in office returned to the capital to serve her in-laws.
The next day, Li Yi and Aunt Li, accompanied by Zhang and Luo Jinyan, went to the lotus pond to meet Zhang Jin and Mrs. Xu, and the relatives of the Li family and the Zhang family officially walked around.
Because Qin Jue was about to end in four days, neither Luo Shao nor Li Yi wanted to alarm him, but when Sao Hong came to deliver something, he heard that on the third day of Li Yi's visit to the capital, he received Qin Ye's post.
Li Yi was taken aback, and said to Aunt Li in the evening: "I thought that I would not be able to meet the people of the Qin family until I was officially hired, but I didn't expect this Lord Qin to be so polite." ā
The next day, Qin Jue accompanied Qin Ye to Poplar Hutong, Qin Jue behaved calmly and dealt with it decently, which made Li Yi very satisfied.
Looking at his son's humble and respectful appearance, Qin Ye couldn't believe his eyes.
For the first time, he felt that he had been fooled, and this family business may not have been done out of necessity, but that kid had been asking for it deliberately!
