The lotus pond is a very famous place in the capital, covering an area of only one acre square, the reason why the lotus pond is famous is not that the lotus flowers here bloom well, but because there is another name here - the pen washing pool. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is said that there were once scholars practicing calligraphy by the lotus pond, and Mr. Fengyang occasionally saw it, and carefully instructed him, so he provoked a large number of scholars to come and write on the street, and after writing, he washed his pen in the lotus pond. Although I have never heard of any scholar who is fortunate enough to be guided by Mr. Fengyang again, to this day, there are still one or two scholars writing and washing pens by the lotus pond every day, and even some people who go to Beijing to take the exam also take washing pens in the lotus pond as a graceful thing.

Luo Jinyan lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw a figure in a green shirt writing in front of the stone table by the pool.

Luo Jinyan burst out laughing and said, "The ice in the lotus pond shouldn't have melted yet, where is he going to wash his pen?"

Bai Jiuniang smiled: "I think it's to dig an ice cave to come out." ”

"Look at that scholar is skinny, don't fall into the ice cave. The summer solstice also joked.

Luo Jinyan doesn't look down on readers, she just thinks that these people who write on the street in the cold winter are too deliberate, does it have to be like this, so that people can know how hard and diligent you are?

Father won't do this, Qin Jue...... Definitely not.

Zhang's house is a five-entry courtyard, which is not too big or small.

Zhang Jin's eldest son was a scholar in Anhui at the time, the eldest daughter-in-law went to office with her husband, the eldest daughter and the second daughter married are noble scholars, the eldest son-in-law Wang Yu was born in a cold family, when he was a temple in Dali Temple, the second son-in-law Min Tao was born in the Shunyi family of the Min family, and his mother was a woman of the Lu family in Jinling.

In his previous life, Luo Jinyan had privately checked the affairs of the Qin family, Min Tao's mother, Mrs. Lu, and Qin Ye's wife, Lu, were Cong sisters across the room.

The Lu family in Jinling has produced an emperor in this dynasty, more than a dozen jinshi, and the Qin family in Jiuzhi Hutong is a family friend, the two families have a marriage in each generation, and when the old lady Qin Ji was the head of the family, he let the eldest son Qin Ye marry the young lady of the Lu family, but unfortunately the Lu family was weak and sickly, and died of miscarriage within a year of entering the door, otherwise there would be no current Qin Jue.

Qin Ye didn't marry the Ye family many years later as a successor, and he gave birth to Qin Jue, the eldest grandson of the Qin family's generation, when he was nearly thirty years old.

Although the daughter of the Lu family did not become the wife of the Qin family, after that, the Lu family had another daughter who married into the Qin family, and the Qin family also had a daughter who married into the Lu family.

The relationship between the Qin and Lu families is complicated, and Min Tao is the grandson of the Lu family, so he is also related to the Qin family.

Now it is the third aunt and grandmother of the Zhang family who are helping Mrs. Xu in the house.

Mrs. Xu received Luo Shao's father and daughter in the courtyard of the fifth entrance, she should be nearly sixty years old, but her posture is tall, her eyes are bright, her fair and beautiful face does not show any old age, and she is full of neutrality and neat when she speaks.

Because he was a foreign man, Luo Shao thanked Mrs. Xu, and said a few words of greeting, so he went to talk to Zhang Jin in front of him.

Mrs. Xu smiled and beckoned to Luo Jinyan: "Come, come here, sit next to me." ”

A maid moved the rose chair and put it under Mrs. Xu, Luo Jinyan came over with a smile, Mrs. Xu looked at her, and said to the grandmother on the side: "How can I see that this child looks a little like a third girl?"

Mama smiled and said, "Isn't it just like that, according to the slave maid, Miss Luo and our third aunt and grandmother are two or three points alike." ”

Luo Jinyan was surprised in his heart, the third aunt and grandmother? This is the aunt and grandmother of the Zhang family?

Mrs. Xu couldn't help but nod and asked, "Is there a small print?"

Luo Jinyan said softly: "It's a pity for the little girl's small words. ”

"Pity?" repeated Mrs. Xu, "this name is so nice, delicate, and catchy." ”

Saying that, let the maid take the meeting gift, and gave Luo Jinyan a string of beeswax stone bracelets, and Luo Jinyan thanked him again.

Mrs. Xu asked her what books she read on weekdays, and Luo Jinyan knew that Mrs. Xu was not an ordinary woman, so she didn't hide it from her, and said: "I have read the female commandments and the biography of the women, but I am lazy, and I like to read all kinds of travelogues and miscellaneous notes on weekdays. ”

Mrs. Xu laughed when she heard this, laughed heartily, and said, "Have you ever read "Floating Couples"?"

Luo Jinyan nodded with a smile: "Canghaisuo's "Floating Life and Occasional Mail" is the little girl's favorite, and she never gets tired of reading it, this book is different from ordinary travelogues, ordinary travelogues are mostly written about famous rivers and mountains, but Canghaisuo's book is mainly based on market notes, which is interesting and chic. ”

"Floating Life and Occasional Mail" is not famous, few people know it, Luo Jinyan can say the three words Canghaisu when he opens his mouth, and he can also speak the truth, it is not an empty statement at first glance, she has really read it.

Mrs. Xu's interest was even higher, and she said to the grandmother beside her, "You go and invite the third aunt and grandmother over." ”

Not long after, Aunt Zhang's grandmother came. She was twenty-three or fourteen years old, dressed extremely plainly, wearing a dark blue plain gown, a moon-white skirt, and a white hosta in her jet-black hair.

When Luo Jinyan saw her, he also thought it was interesting, and the eyebrows and eyes of the two were somewhat similar.

Aunt Zhang's grandmother is a widow and rarely sees guests on weekdays, but Luo Jinyan is just a little girl who has not yet reached the end of her life, so she doesn't pay much attention to it.

Mrs. Xu smiled and introduced the two of them, hearing that this was Luo Langzhong's beloved daughter, a silly face appeared in the mind of Aunt Zhang's grandmother, and she couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Look at it, is this child a little similar to you when you were a child?"

Aunt Zhang's grandmother took a closer look at the little girl in front of her, and she was really a little similar to her, no wonder Luo Langzhong was rude that day, I think I think so.

The meeting gift given to Luo Jinyan by Aunt Zhang Sangu is a palm-sized small Western mirror, which is a small box with exquisite carvings when not in use.

Luo Jinyan thanked Aunt Zhang, and when she saw that she didn't hand over the mirror to the maid, she kept it in her hand, obviously she really liked it, so she smiled and said to her: "I still have a few Western gadgets there, if my mother is willing to let you go, you can go with me to see it." ”

When Mrs. Xu heard her say this, she said angrily: "I will spare it to eat in my house for a while, if you want to take her to your house, then go and go back quickly." ”
