Chapter 171: Father (2nd Watch)
Because of Wang Zhiyao's words from my father, the people in the room fell silent again.
Wang Zhiyao was secretly glad that she had the habit of playing with hairpin rings.
The hairpin ring she took out was not weaker than the value of any hairpin ring sent by the Duchess of Dingguo, or even a little higher.
Wang Yixin knew that she liked all shiny and precious hairpin rings, and she didn't want to be compared to Gu Sanshao, his fourth master's daughter could afford it herself, and she didn't need Gu Sanshao to always take good things from Emperor Qianyuan and give them to Wang Zhiyao.
If he wants to be better than the tribute, Wang Yixin can only work craftsmanship and ingenuity.
Fortunately, he has more experience than others, and he is a cultural person himself, and he understands popular trends better, so the jewelry he gave Wang Zhiyao is not as valuable as tribute, and it is better in novelty and ingenuity.
No matter how rich and noble the Dingguo Mansion is, it does not dare to compare with Emperor Qianyuan.
Mother Zhang said curtly: "I didn't expect Lord Wang to let Miss Wang carry the hairpin ring with her, and she could take it out from time to time......
Wang Zhiyao replied: "Be prepared, won't you use it today?" Besides, my father said that there are always some people who are so shallow that they will look down on the Wang family, and there is no need to be polite when they meet people who are rich and noble in front of the Wang family, although the Wang family is not what it used to be, but the ancestors of the Wang family should at least be respected. ”
She also complained about the genealogy of the Wang family, but the former Wang family in Wuyi Lane was still very calm.
"I appreciate the kindness of the Duchess of Dingguo." Wang Zhiyao said reservedly and slightly high-minded: "My father said that gold and silver jewelry is too vulgar, and the jade heart is worthy of me." ”
This sounds very annoying, and it is inevitable that you will lack confidence when you say it from the mouths of others, and you will be suspected of making excuses.
It can be ...... from Wang Zhiyao's mouth Also. It is true that the ancestors of the Wang family rarely wore gold and silver. The nouveau riche got all the gold and silver on them.
Scholars prefer jade. Gentlemen are like jade, and the talent of Yongsu, Zhilan Yushu is their pursuit.
With the establishment of the dynasty, most of the canonized nouveau riche ancestors were not very prominent, compared to bloodline, than genealogy, in the words of Wang Yixin, Gu Sanshao was very weak.
In the past, Wang Zhiyao always felt that it was boring to use her ancestors to suppress people. The ancestor is prominent, which does not mean that the future generations are all talents, but today, in the face of the faceless flaunting of the Duchess of Dingguo, Wang Zhiyao does not mind using her ancestors to let the Duke of Dingguo touch a soft nail.
Don't think she's not worthy of Gu Sanshao.
She could say it herself, but she didn't want to hear it in the mouths of others.
Lord Heyu said: "Put down the things and retreat." ”
"County Lord......" Zhang's mother looked reluctant, and when she saw that the county lord of Heyu had a bad face, she also knew that staying any longer would only be more embarrassing, so she let the row of maids behind her put down the tray and bowed away. The slave and maid went back to Madame. ”
But after a while, only Wang Zhiyao and Lord Yu were left in the room.
Lord Heyu was full of guilt. "I shouldn't have asked you to come to the Mansion, if it weren't for me...... You don't have to ...... either."
Wang Zhiyao can understand the difficulties of the Jade County Lord, after all, this is not the Jade County Lord's home, how can everything go smoothly if she lives with her aunt?
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and I can be regarded as understanding the 'demeanor' of the Duchess of Dingguo in advance"
Her nonchalant tone surprised Lord Heyu as calmly and calmly as she faced the difficulties of her servants, and any thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl would be lost in the Dingguo Mansion.
Even if she never showed cowardice, she would not be like Wang Zhiyao who seemed to be appreciating the clumsy performance of the Duchess of Dingguo.
"Sometimes I don't understand, are you only fourteen?"
“…… I'm a goblin. ”
Wang Zhiyao said with a smile; "In the eyes of the Duchess of Dingguo, I am the fox spirit of Gu Tianze, who is shameless and trying to tie up with the rich and noble!"
I have to mention that the Duchess of Dingguo's method of showing off her wealth to make Wang Zhiyao retreat is too simple and crude, but there will always be such a bridge in Cinderella dramas where the gap between the families is too big.
It's a pity that Wang Zhiyao is not a poor family, only a kind and innocent Cinderella.
She has always been a beautiful woman, she has always lived a rich life, and she is not kind and innocent enough.
He Yujun Lord thought for a while and said: "Actually, my aunt may not necessarily disapprove of your marriage with your third cousin, but she is unwilling, or wants to give you a dismount, even if you marry in, don't want to challenge her status, she wants you to be obedient and obedient to her." ”
If the Duchess of Dingguo wants Gu Sanshao to marry a celebrity with a higher status, she will not wait until this time, besides, the eldest son and the second son are still the lords, that is, the fourth son also marries the royal county lord, only Gu Sanshao's wife is not from the royal family, isn't this enough to explain everything?
"Even the eldest princess and the princess who is about to marry in are very honest in front of her, and the eldest princess treats her as her mother-in-law, and her aunt ......"
He Yujun Lord and Wang Zhiyao whispered about the situation of the Dingguo Mansion, the more Wang Zhiyao listened, the more she felt a headache, the Duchess of Dingguo is used to the people up and down in this mansion, and the person who connived at her the most was not Emperor Qianyuan, but the Dingguo Duke who had been silent.
Wang Zhiyao didn't understand how much Dingguo Gong loved her in order to endure the insults she brought to Ding Guogong again and again.
Or does Ding Guogong also want others to think that Gu Sanshao is the prince?
From the news heard from Wang Yixin's mouth, Ding Guogong felt guilty and distressed about Gu Sanshao.
When the country is fair, he also knows the proportions, and he is a famous handsome on the field, but how can he frequently tolerate and retreat in family affairs and his wife?
There is one more person who can't understand.
Wang Zhiyao felt a little more distressed about Gu Tianze, with such parents, Gu Tianze was even more unlucky than Wang Zhiyao before.
*****
After Wang Yixin got the news that Wang Zhiyao was in the Dingguo Mansion, he was shocked at first, and he couldn't wait to fly to the Dingguo Mansion to bring Yao'er out, and then he straightened his official hat and held the scroll and said, "I'll go to see the emperor first." ”
"Fourth Master, Miss......"
"Yao'er can support me until I rush to the Dingguo Mansion, Brother Ming, don't underestimate Yao'er, she is my daughter!"
Wang Yixin's face was a little proud, others don't know the Duchess of Dingguo, but Wang Yixin understands, the ladies always care about the door, and the means of the Duchess of Dingguo can't hit Yao'er in Wang Yixin's opinion.
He went to the Dingguo Mansion just to pick up his beloved daughter home and give him a unique 'gift'.
When Emperor Qianyuan heard that Wang Yixin asked to see him, he said to He Gui beside him with a smile. "I wonder if he figured it out? Is it so reluctant to paint a picture of me? ”
He Gui lowered his eyebrows and said, "Lord Wang's paintings have a price. A lot of people can't get him to put pen to paper even if they spend a lot of money. But if you give an order, Lord Wang will not dare to disobey it. ”
"The problem is that I can't make an order." Emperor Qianyuan shook his head helplessly, "Outsiders say that the fourth master is flattering, and he welcomes me, but he doesn't even want to give me a painting, flattering?" I've never seen him do it. It's not bad if he doesn't fight with me, Wenchen Qingliu is high, and I can be regarded as a good teacher in him. Sometimes he is more stubborn than Liu Sanben. ”
Emperor Qianyuan admired Wang Yixin's stubbornness in his bones.
Wang Yixin knelt on the ground and presented the scroll with both hands, "The minister knocks on His Majesty and asks His Majesty to go down to Jin'an." ”
"You...... For me? Emperor Qianyuan was taken aback by Wang Yixin, who said a few days ago that it would be humiliating for a minister to sell paintings as a business.
Could it be that Wang Yixin changed his mind?
"Back to the emperor, I beg Your Majesty to look at this painting."
It turned out that it was just for him to appreciate, and Emperor Qianyuan's interest became a lot stronger as the painting unfolded.
At the foot of the rolling green hills, in front of a thatched cottage, a middle-aged man with a beard teaches the teenagers around him to practice calligraphy......
Emperor Qianyuan's brows relaxed, and he thought of Aze...... The scenes are blended, and I have to say that Wang Yixin's paintings are extremely expressive. "Father Yan? Father? Wang Qing's painting skills have improved again. ”
"Your Majesty has won the award, and the minister seems to have gained it recently. to make this painting. ”
"I look at this painting better than the 10,000 horse pictures that others gave me."
The news that Emperor Qianyuan favored Wang Yixin's paintings did not go away, and some flattering ministers sent a few pairs of Wang Yixin's early works.
Wang Yixin said: "I wonder if the minister can ask His Majesty to draw a poem for this?" ”
"Why?" The words of Emperor Qianyuan have been belittled by Wang Yixin, and the words of Emperor Qianyuan have more than two taels of silver in the high-quality paintings, which really do not match.
"The minister wants to give this painting to the Duke of Dingguo."
“……”
Emperor Qianyuan smiled, "You want to give it to Dingguo Gong?" ”
"To be exact, the minister wants to dedicate it to the Duchess of Dingguo, the minister is light, and I implore the emperor to help the minister for the sake of being loyal, just with the minister's paintings, the Duchess of Dingguo is only afraid of looking at it."
Although Wang Yixin knelt, he raised his handsome face, "Without His Majesty, the brave ministers dare not meet the Duchess of Dingguo." ”
"She's something you can talk about, too?" Emperor Qianyuan's face sank like water, "Wang Yixin, don't think that I don't know what you are doing!" ”
Father-in-law Huaien glanced at Wang Yixin worriedly, He Gui also lowered his eyelids, would Gu Sanshao rush over to help Fourth Master Wang?
Wang Yixin said: "The courtiers are mostly taken care of by the Duchess of Dingguo, and the ministers have no long things, and the gold and silver are not enough, so they want to give a clumsy work, but they are afraid that the Duchess of Dingguo will be too light...... Only then did he dare to ask the emperor to write an inscription. ”
"Bring the painting."
"Yes."
Father-in-law Huaien thought that the emperor would tear up the painting with his own hands, and by the way reprimanded Wang Yixin, who knew that Emperor Qianyuan actually wrote a poem in the blank space and used a private seal - the valley master.
Emperor Qianyuan threw away the brush, "I think my words are better than usual, what does Wang Qing think?" ”
"The minister has always thought that His Majesty's handwriting is very good."
Wang Yixin took back the painting, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you are busy, and the minister is going to pick up the courtier." ”
Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand and let Wang Yixin out of the palace, and Father-in-law Huaien blinked in disbelief, it was too powerful, Fourth Master Wang.
"I didn't expect anyone to dare to remind me, and someone else dared to remind me ......" Emperor Qianyuan squinted his eyes slightly and sighed softly: "It's him?!" ”
*****
Wang Yixin walked calmly, and slowly followed the housekeeper of the Dingguo Mansion into the living room, and the Dingguo Gong got up and said, "Lord Wang." ”
"Grandpa Guo." Wang Yixin bowed his hand to salute, and his fairy demeanor made the people of Dingguo Mansion obsessed.
Dingguo Gong sometimes thinks that Wang Yixin is too handsome and has a good demeanor, even if he is a minister in the same hall, he will be stunned a little.
Wang Yixin said lightly: "I'll take Yao'er home." ”
"Love is in my house?" Dingguo Gong was stunned for a while, and then instructed the attendants: "Please Madame and Miss Wang come to the front." (To be continued......)
