Chapter 16: Homesickness
Because Yunbo Town is rich in silver mines, gold and silver are not expensive, but jade antiques are more sought after by the public.
Mama Yu spread out a pair of calligraphy and paintings, "Princess, this shopkeeper said that this painting is a recent masterpiece, and I know that Princess Yunxin is coming, so I specially dedicated it." Princess, do you like it or not? ”
Ke Xiyuan stayed in the palace for a few days, and every day in addition to going to Luanfeng Pond to soak in soup, he ate with Emperor Yun, and then practiced calligraphy. The strange thing is that Yin Hengsheng never showed up again to stop her from going to Luan Fengchi, and he didn't even need to warn her.
The Qiē of the Cloud Palace is very eerie, unusually calm. This is not like a country that is at war with an enemy country. The rulers were very calm, even the people in the streets.
On the other hand, in Baiyang County, the whole people are actively cooperating with General Zhenguo, preparing materials, storing military rations, and doing a good job of logistics for the soldiers. The front court is also constantly supplied, ready to fight a protracted war.
And in the Cloud Palace, no matter who it is, it is too leisurely. Such leisurely surprised Ke Xiyuan. Could it be that they are sure of victory?
"Mama, go and ask the shopkeeper, what are the good words, I want to read the words!" , Ke Xiyuan glanced at it casually, but it was a peony picture, which was indeed the handiwork of a famous artist, but it was not pleasing.
Mama Yu was stunned, hurriedly collected the scroll, walked out of the wing, and said to the waiting shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, hurry up and take out the best calligraphy and painting to our princess to see, the princess likes good words very much!" ”
The shopkeeper took the scroll and thought for a while, "This grandmother, please wait a while, and the little one will go and ask our young owner!" Shaodong has a few good words, and he has been refusing to sell them, just to see if the princess has a fate with it! ”
Mama Yu's eyes widened, "Presumptuous, Princess Anxin is the only daughter of the Hongyu County Lord." The lord of Hongyu County has gone away and cannot return, how noble her daughter is! You young masters......
"Mama, even if this is a princess, you can't buy and sell it. This study is the property left by my master to the young master, and what the young master said is a qiē in terms of the small. The little one asks for you, but there is no guarantee that he will be willing to cut love! This painting is already the best in the store. If the princess can't take a fancy to it. The words in the store, the lady must not be able to see it! Only those in the hands of the young master can only get one of them. It's rare in the world! The shopkeeper is neither humble nor arrogant, and he advances and retreats in a certain way.
Ke Xiyuan hooked her lips and pushed the door open. For the first time, he did not appear in front of outsiders without wearing a curtain.
"I'm tired of the shopkeeper now, go and ask your young master, if you are willing to cut love. Naturally, it couldn't be better. If not, I won't force it! ”
Mama Yu glanced at Ke Xiyuan and hurriedly said, "Princess." You don't have to be ......"
"Mama, don't do this! Otherwise, the people outside will think I'm arrogant! Ke Xiyuan had a little coquettishness on her face. Let Mama Yu swallow the words back into her stomach.
"Yes! It's a slave and a maid who has no form! Mama Yu had a strange feeling. It seems that Ke Xiyuan is guiding her, not that she is guiding Ke Xiyuan. But looking at the past, Ke Xiyuan was innocent and romantic again. Secretly annoyed that he was too impulsive, and almost really left Ke Xiyuan with a reputation of domineering. breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Ke Xiyuan hit by mistake, if Emperor Yun didn't know, he would have ......
"Princess Yunxin is really reasonable! The villain has seen the princess! The villain went to help the princess ask, and asked the princess to wait a moment! The shopkeeper did not look very flattering just because Ke Xiyuan was a princess, but he was still well-trained and well-trained.
Ke Xiyuan narrowed her eyes and smiled in her heart. The young owner of this store is not simple. Just by looking at this shopkeeper, you know that his person must not be simple.
It was just a cup of tea, and the shopkeeper turned back, bowed respectfully, and said, "The princess is really lucky today, our young owner happened to come to the building." However, our young owner said that because it is not easy to collect calligraphy and paintings, you need to use them by people who really understand them before you can let them go! If it's really a bosom friend, even if you don't receive a penny, you will give it away. If...... Even if it's a thousand gold, it's not for sale! Please go upstairs for a reunion! The shopkeeper deliberately glanced at Ke Xiyuan, showing a little fear.
Mama Yu was angry at this time, and shook her handkerchief, "Our princess is full of talent, and she is naturally a person who really understands calligraphy and painting!" Then lead the way. ”
The shopkeeper blocked his body, "The young owner said that he just wants to see the princess alone!" ”
"Bold! The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, how can he see them at will! And, how could I leave the princess alone? Mama Yu's face immediately sank, and her tone was very displeased.
"This grandmother, the princess status is naturally expensive! However, the little one saw that Mama seemed to have a bigger idea than the princess! The princess has not yet expressed her opinion, and Mama is too anxious! He smiled, "Of course, this is just the villain's own thoughts!" ”
"You!" , Mama Yu's face was even heavier, but she couldn't say a word, she turned her head to look at Ke Xiyuan tilting her head to look at herself, her heart tightened, and she said with a smile, "Princess, the slave and maid care about you, and if you care, you are messy, so you speak too fast!" Please don't blame the slaves! After saying that, he was ready to kneel.
Ke Xiyuan grabbed her and pulled her up, "Mama knows that I'm not the one who cares about this!" Besides, I know Mama cares about me! ”
Mama Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still took a step back slightly, standing behind Ke Xiyuan, looking at Qiqiao and Jiuhui with their heads down, their faces were slightly hot. was actually trained by a shopkeeper in front of these girls, which is really ...... He glanced at the shopkeeper hatefully, but he didn't speak again.
"Since you young owners have to see me before deciding whether to sell or not, why not go for the sake of the best calligraphy and painting? The tired shopkeeper leads the way! Ke Xiyuan is not afraid, Ke Ying follows him in the dark, and the danger will not be great.
Mama Yu wanted to say something, but because of the scene just now, it was really difficult to speak, so she could only watch Ke Xiyuan follow the shopkeeper upstairs. Secretly gritted his teeth, and could only wait and see what happened.
Ke Xiyuan came to the third floor, only to find that it was another scene. The first floor of this study is equipped with calligraphy and paintings, and the second floor is a number of side rooms for some dignitaries to enjoy calligraphy and paintings. And this third floor, as soon as you enter, feels like a woman's boudoir.
Ke Xiyuan's heart suddenly, could it be that this young owner is a woman? It is clear that it is the young master who listens to the shopkeeper!
"This is our young master's room, princess, please come in!" When the shopkeeper walked to the door, he stopped following.
Ke Xiyuan nodded and stepped in. I thought that the house would be full of calligraphy and paintings, but I didn't want to, so I dressed up very simply, and there was a man in a white shirt standing by the window.
"I don't know what to call the young owner? Also, how can I get through the test of the young owner? I'm here to buy calligraphy and paintings! Ke Xiyuan went straight in and took the initiative to attack. There is no one else around at the moment, so you don't have to hide yourself anymore. Originally, I just wanted to walk the streets today, and I didn't really plan to buy anything. But this shop piqued her interest.
The man turned his head and wore a white mask, revealing only a pair of eyes. Ke Xiyuan was stunned, had a familiar feeling, and blurted out, "Have we met?" Then he realized his gaffe and smiled, "It's me who is abrupt!" I'm a boudoir woman, how could I have seen the young owner! ”
"The princess likes words? What do you like? The man's voice was deep, sounding as if he had suffered from the cold.
Ke Xiyuan looked around and said with a smile, "I thought that the room of the young owner's house would be full of calligraphy and paintings, even if I can't buy them today, I can still appreciate them!" It seems that the young owner is all privately hidden! I don't like to take anything to copy one or two, but I have some research myself! ”
The masked man walked to the bookshelf, took two calligraphy books from it and handed them to Ke Xiyuan, "Although I may not be able to sell calligraphy and painting to the princess, I can give the princess two calligraphy!" The princess looks, can you still get into the eyes of the princess? ”
Ke Xiyuan took it, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile, "The words are good words, but they are just manuscripts, not originals." Thank you, young owner! ”
The masked man was obviously stunned and smiled, "The princess is really a middle master, she can actually tell the difference!" Turning around, he took out two more books from the bookshelf, "These two are really for the princess!" ”
Ke Xiyuan looked at it, and there was a happy expression on his face. In her life, the most obsessed thing is the study of calligraphy. Her Mozhuyuan study has countless calligraphy, all of which Ke Zhengdong collected for her everywhere, all of which show his love for his daughter.
When I think of Ke Zhengdong, I can't help but miss my relatives in the capital and Ke Huaimin who went out to study.
"The princess seems to have something on her mind?" , The masked man saw that Ke Xiyuan's expression had a hint of sadness, and his voice seemed to be a little lighter.
"I'm just a layman, and I'm also worried about mundane things, that's all!" , Ke Xiyuan rubbed the notebook, "I'll leave first!" Come back another day to discuss calligraphy and painting with the young owner! Thank you for the gift of the young owner! Ke Xiyuan suddenly became excited, and she had an indescribable feeling.
For the first time, I felt homesick. It made her feel vulnerable and wanted to hold on to something.
Mama Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ke Xiyuan had come down safely, but her sharp eyes found that Ke Xiyuan was not interested. didn't dare to say more, and followed Ke Xiyuan out of the study.
Before the carriage left, the shopkeeper chased it out and handed it to Mama Yu, "This is what our young owner gave to the princess." It is said that the princess is a person who really understands words, and yellow and white things will inevitably stain good words! ”
Mama Yu showed an expression of pride on her face, and took over the calligraphy and painting, "You young owners can look at people!" Next time the princess will naturally come back! After speaking, he turned around and prepared to get into Ke Xiyuan's carriage, but he heard Ke Xiyuan's somewhat cold voice.
"Mama, I want to be quiet! Let's sit in the car behind them with Tired Mama and Qiqiao! ”
Mama Yu was stunned, answered in a low voice, and went to the carriage behind.
Ke Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Don't come out yet?" You lunatic! ”
"Yuanyuan, I miss you so much!" , in the next second, Ke Xiyuan was hugged into a warm embrace.
Zhou Chenyu, thank you for showing up when I needed warmth the most. Ke Xiyuan silently read in her heart, and her hands involuntarily circled Zhou Chenyu's waist. (To be continued)
