Chapter 169: Besides, I like ancient calligraphy and paintings

Besides, he almost blurted out that he was about to refuse, he felt that he was too good at talking, how could these people make arrangements for themselves casually, although they were kind, they didn't ask him if they liked it or not.

Suddenly, his mind took a sharp turn, and an almost crazy idea came up, and he nodded directly: "Well, please allow the younger brother to go back and ask his father for instructions, and then report to Mrs. Tai and eldest brother." ”

Once he arrives at the Marquis' Mansion, he has another identity, and if he is chased by someone in an emergency, he can justifiably hide in the Marquis's Mansion and don't have to flee everywhere.

If you want to hide, Zhongshan Wangfu is naturally a good place to go, but it is not a place to stay for a long time after all. If you become a member of the Marquis's Mansion, it is only natural that you will hide here for the rest of your life.

Besides, it's not for his own sake, but for his father and sister, if he has no choice, the family doesn't have to die.

"Second brother, what do you mean, tell my brother first." Wu Chenghou was a little impatient.

Besides, since he took the initiative to give up the Danshu iron coupon, Wucheng Hou seemed to feel that he owed him something, and he became more affectionate to him, and he was no longer called a brother, but a second brother.

Besides, I already know in my heart that this is Mrs. Tai who wants to tie herself to her side, once she is sick, someone can treat her, and she is willing, just imagine, if the son has the ability, who will dedicate himself if he does not dedicate himself to his mother?

The people of the Marquis's Mansion also understand that besides, this kind of famous doctor is unique in the world, and it is impossible to find it. Didn't all the imperial doctors, miracle doctors, and famous doctors from all over the country be invited, and the results didn't come in handy.

On the one hand, Mrs. Tai really likes him, and on the other hand, she also wants to treat him as a life-saving gold medal, and the Danshu iron coupons have been taken out, which shows that the old lady has to be him.

"Of course I am willing, but if I am allowed to pass the line, I must be promised a few conditions, one is that I want to set up my own business, and the other is that I don't want any family property, just a house, and no fields and manors." What's needed is to keep your bottom line.

Wucheng Hou said with great joy; "As long as you agree, it's easy to say anything, and you can tell the old lady yourself, what I say doesn't count."

Wu Chenghou also has the intention of tying up the situation to his side, in the past few years, he has sought medical treatment everywhere, spent countless money not to mention, looking at the pain that his mother suffers every day, it is like a nightmare, he doesn't want to do it again one day.

Besides, after the succession, he naturally has to share part of the family property, he doesn't care about this, the four mansions and granges are enough. This time, the confiscation of his 10,000 taels of silver also solved his urgent need. Although there are many treasures in the family, cash is also a little tight, and it is one thing to distribute them, but pawning the mansion and manor is a joke.

At dinner, Mrs. Tai really announced this matter in public, and besides, she will come to the house in the future, and she will be the official second master, just waiting for him to go back and get the consent of the family.

The wives and concubines of the Marquis of Wucheng and the housekeepers were shocked for a while, and secretly sighed in their hearts: What makes a person old and refined, this is it. Where is Mrs. Tai a step-on, she clearly puts it by her side as an elixir of immortality, and wants to rejuvenate and live forever.

If it is a righteous son, he can leave if he wants, and come when he wants to, when Mrs. Tai is sick in the future, it is not necessarily where it is. There is no benefit to seeing a doctor and treating the Marquis's Mansion this time, besides, if the old lady falls ill again in the future, she can be treated or excused, and the relationship between Yizi and Gan'er is still not strong enough.

The law of ancient times and today has not changed much in this regard, and the successor son, legally speaking, has the same right to receive the inheritance as the own son, and has the obligation to support the elderly. The old lady is sick, and the son naturally has to play with his life to treat him, even if he has to do it for his life. It seems that the Marquis's Mansion is elevated, but in fact, it is still a good deal for the old lady, and she does not suffer at all.

If you look at it from a distance, not only the old lady is guaranteed, but the people in the house are also guaranteed, whoever is sick, the second master will not take a look, and they all have to be treated. Thinking about it this way, with a miracle doctor by his side, everyone almost has an extra life.

Mrs. Tai thought that everyone would still resist, and she had prepared a method of strong suppression, but the result was unexpected, and the whole house unanimously agreed. Mrs. Tai also understood in a blink of an eye, what she could think of, others would also think of, and no one was stupid.

Of course, this came at a considerable cost, and a part of the property of the Marquis's Mansion had to be divided. In fact, the largest property was not accepted, 10,000 taels of silver and a Danshu iron coupon, which was more real than those idle mansions and manors. Moreover, one did not accept it, and the other returned, which not only saved the face of the Marquis's Mansion, but also reassured the Marquis of Wucheng.

If you really want to calculate it, the Marquis' Mansion is not too much, and what the Zuo family wanted to give is not less than this, and it may be more after years of accumulation. However, if you practice medicine independently, you can't calculate what you earn.

Besides, what he really likes is the status of the Marquis' Mansion, which can be a safe haven in times of crisis, which the Zuo family can't do at all, and he can't get it for how much money he makes.

In the end, he was still touched by Wu Chenghou's words, he could keep two identities. Coincidentally, he passed on to the Marquis's Mansion as Xu Ming, and retained his identity in his own home.

There were many talented people in the Ming Dynasty who had two or more identities, not to buy more houses and speculate on land, but to marry wives. At that time, the transportation was not convenient, there were many loopholes in household registration management, a person got married and had children in one place, and in another place he fancied which lady, he became a son-in-law again, and after a few years to other places, he would have the opportunity to marry another one, which is not called immorality, but a talented man.

As for some people who commit crimes or cause trouble in their local areas, flee to other places, obtain another identity, and then return to their original status after the imperial examination high school, this kind of thing is even more common.

There are several such examples in the "Outer History of Confucianism".

After dinner, after talking to Mrs. Xiao Nier for a while, he returned to his residence, the courtyard was dark, and lanterns were hanging everywhere, and the words "Zuo Dudu" and "Marquis of Wucheng" were printed on the lanterns.

One by one, the soldiers patrolled back and forth, and when they saw the situation, they took the initiative to come over and ask the second master how to say hello.

Back in the inner house, there are some sturdy middle-aged women patrolling the night with sticks, and the maids and daughters-in-law are also waiting for the second master to come back.

After the Yahuan sent the tea, besides, they were sent to rest, and the Yahuan were all happy, or this second master was easy to serve, without long-winded things, and did not train people.

There were only two of them left in the spacious room, Xiao Nier still couldn't believe it, and said probely: "Brother, is all this true?" These palace-like houses are ours? How can I be dreaming? ”

"Ha, it's weird, it's all true." Besides, it's indifferent.

"But I can't believe it, why are they so nice to you? There won't be any ......," Xiao Nier said again.

"Don't think about it, they want me to treat Mrs. Tai's illness for a lifetime, and these are the money in advance." Besides, in a word.

"That's worth it, how much does it cost to build these palaces, I never dreamed of being able to live in such a house, no wonder Master Hou said that our house is small, and it can't compare to a small warehouse here." Xiao Nier said with a dreamy expression, obviously, at the end of the day, she was too stimulated.

He found that the beams of this house were actually made of nanmu, and there were several bookcases and short couches in the house were also made of nanmu, not to mention that some small utensils were made of golden silk nanmu.

The point is, these pieces of furniture are old and worth a lot of money.

Isn't Nanmu only available in palaces and palaces?

Besides, there is a doubt, what is the special relationship between the Hou family of Wucheng and the emperor, and there are actually two iron coupons in the Danshu. And this house is also built beyond specifications, this is not a question of whether you have money or not, you need the permission of the imperial court, otherwise you will be guilty of trespassing.

The funny thing is that he doesn't know the family history of Wucheng Hou at all now, and he can't even figure out what Wucheng Hou's surname is.

He opened the box that was sent, first took out a scroll, and as soon as he opened his eyes, his heart immediately jumped wildly, and he opened another scroll, and the adrenaline surged, and when he opened the fourth scroll, he really couldn't stand it, and he jumped on the ground with excitement.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, don't scare me? Okay, why is it suddenly like a convulsion. Xiao Nier's face turned white with fright.

What's wrong?

Besides, he was too excited and excited, just like Ali Baba broke into the treasure cave of the Forty Thieves.

The first scroll is a night tour by Han Xizai, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty; The second scroll turned out to be a picture of a lady by Yan Liben in the early Tang Dynasty. He hadn't seen the night tour map, but he still knew it. Yan Liben had only heard that he was best at drawing pictures of ladies, but he had never heard of rare books handed down, so he was actually hidden in this dusty wooden box.

The third scroll is the original manuscript of Yan Zhenqing's nephew, which is an ink book rather than an engraved copy, and the authentic handwriting of Yan Taishi has only been seen a few times, and he has a deeper understanding of calligraphy; The fourth scroll made him even more happy, it was Su Dongpo's Chibi Fu's authentic work, but the first few lines were missing, which was a slight pity.

He didn't dare to look any further, he couldn't be stimulated so much, and he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his body.

Even if there was only one of these four scrolls, and nothing else, he was content and wanted nothing else. But when he saw this, he liked everything, and there were not too many of them.

How can the authentic works of the ancients be so easy to obtain, it does not mean that you can buy them if you have money, there is no place to buy them. Even the royal family attached great importance to these objects, and often spared no expense and did everything possible to acquire them back and treasure them. Fortunately, thanks to the treasures of the royal family of the past dynasties, some treasures have been handed down. The collection conditions of the royal family are naturally much stronger than those of the people, and if they are in the people, without the collection conditions, it is really difficult for many collections to maintain their original appearance.

During the Yongle period, the royal family spent a lot of money to buy rare books and ancient calligraphy and paintings, and Zhu Di organized a large group of the most talented scholars and literati from the government and the opposition to compile the epoch-making "Yongle Canon", which is a monument in the history of Chinese culture, but unfortunately it was later destroyed, and only some fragments were handed down to future generations.
