Chapter 41: Achieved
Fan Weijie carefully put the painting into the box and solemnly pushed it in front of Gu Chengyu: "Cousin, this gift is too heavy, I can't accept it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You once told me, the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju, your favorite is bamboo. There is nothing precious or precious, and I believe that you are the person who can cherish this painting the most. Take it. ”
"No, I really can't." Fan Weijie insisted.
"Since I gave it to you, there is absolutely no reason to take it back."
"But I ......"
"Cousin, you can take it." Fan Weijie was about to excuse himself, but a voice suddenly interrupted him.
Everyone looked over in amazement.
I saw Li Guan looking at Fan Weijie with a serious face, his eyes were bright and clear.
She said in a clear voice: "A gentleman is like a bamboo, fighting for the wind and chasing the dew and having a knotty heart, and the bones are tenacious and bent without breaking." If you really cherish paintings, why don't you hide them? ”
Fan Weijie met Li Guan's eyes as clear as water, and was suddenly stunned.
He has always felt that Guan Mei is a docile to timid girl, who speaks softly, and always follows the rules every time she comes over, never saying much, which makes people ignore her existence unconsciously.
I never thought that she would have such insight.
The thought flashed, and Fan Weijie couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.
Others also felt the same way as him, not only surprised by Li Guan's performance, but also felt that her words were very profound and appropriate, and the eyes looking at her were complicated and incomprehensible.
Only two people looked as usual - Wang Manqing and Gu Chengyu.
Every time Wang Manqing saw others despise Li Guan, she was very angry in her heart, but she couldn't say anything to protect her, because this was Li Guan's purpose. Now that Li Guan is willing to express herself, she couldn't be happier.
And since Gu Chengyu had a few more contacts with Li Guan, he felt more and more that she was not as mediocre as she looked, and after listening to what he said just now, he only had appreciation in his eyes, but not surprise.
"Sister Guan, ...... you" Fan Weijie's eyes flashed with confusion.
Li Guan was very satisfied with the current effect, took a deep breath, and looked more calm. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she planned to add more fire to completely reverse Fan Weijie and others' opinion of her.
Who knew that before she could speak, Gu Chengyu had already said: "Cousin, Sister Guan is right, the preciousness of this painting lies in this." Now that you understand the implications, you should accept it and encourage yourself from time to time. ”
Before the others came back to their senses, they didn't notice what he called Li Guan, but Wang Manqing was awake, his eyes moved slightly when he heard the words, looked at Gu Chengyu's natural and normal expression, and looked at Li Guan who was surprised, and the corners of his mouth hooked an ambiguous arc.
"I've been reading sage books for more than ten years, but I'm not as knowledgeable as my sister......," Fan Weijie sighed, and then bowed to Li Guan, "Thank you sister for mentioning it." ”
Li Guan saw that the goal had been achieved, and he didn't have to say anything, so he smiled lightly and blessed his body, which was regarded as a gift to him.
Fan Weijie thanked Gu Chengyu again, and then picked up the box containing the painting with a heavy hand and handed it to Jingsong: "Hang it in my study." ”
After finishing the painting, everyone returned to their seats and sat down.
Fan Weirong didn't know what to think, so he glanced at Li Wan deeply, his expression slightly gloomy. After Fan Weiyue and a few others were surprised, they didn't think deeply, but they were in a better mood because they appreciated a good painting.
Gu Chengjiao glanced at Li Guan lightly, and there was no longer the original contempt in her eyes, but her face was still lukewarm.
Li Wan felt these changes, she returned to her original low-key, sat quietly on the chair and drank tea, but she didn't deliberately hide herself, and she looked a little unashamed.
After reading the gifts of the Gu brothers and sisters, everyone took out their own gifts.
Li Guan took out the "Hundred Horses" in a wooden box and newly framed. She originally wanted to use this painting to change her image, so she specially prepared some careful thoughts. Now that this goal has been achieved, she has not been in the limelight again.
Some things seem deliberate when they are done too much, so "Hundred Horses" did not attract everyone's attention.
Before I knew it, it was noon, and the lotus clothes brought the little maid a delicate and delicious meal, which was placed on the large black lacquered round table in the side hall.
Everyone had lunch with a harmonious atmosphere, and took the maid and the little maid to the brewery.
Located in the northernmost part of Pingtung Point, the brewery is famous for its different tastes of fine wines.
Different from the usual wineries, the guests of the brewery are mostly ministers and nobles and scholars, and ordinary people rarely come here, one consumption is too high, and the other is too high......
Li Guan came to the brewery for the first time, and saw that it was a three-story wooden building. The main entrance is located in the southeast corner, and it is not an ordinary gate, but a carved arch. When you enter the door, there is a small room, and on the left is the counter. The attendant stepped forward to report the name of Wu Anbo's Mansion, and a maid led them upstairs along the stairs on the right.
On the second floor was a separate box, and the maid led them to an empty box.
The box is very spacious, with a Taishi chair, a chaise longue, etc.
Wang Manqing pulled Li Guan to pick a chair by the window and sat down, and couldn't wait for the maid to pull up the curtains.
Li Wan only felt that the eyes suddenly opened up, in the spacious and bright hall, there were complete sets of tables and chairs, which were decorated with flowers and trees, and a high stage was set up in the north, and the stage was surrounded by bamboo curtains, and the sound of silk and bamboo came from inside.
There were already a lot of people dressed as scholars in the hall who were talking softly, and no one noticed Li Guan's box.
"You're both here for the first time, aren't you?" Fan Weiyue asked with a smile when she saw that their faces were full of curiosity.
Li Wan nodded, and Wang Manqing said, "Sister Yue, have you been here?" ”
"Well, I came here once last year, and I came with Cheng Jiao." Fan Weiyue's face showed a look of nostalgia, "It just so happened that Mr. Ye was also here that time, and we were fortunate to hear him play the piano......"
"Ah, have you seen Mr. Ye?" Wang Manqing showed envy, "I've never seen him...... I heard that Mr. has an elegant temperament and a handsome face, is it true? ”
The corners of Li Guan's mouth twitched, and Manqing's focus was always like this......
Fan Weiyue shook her head: "No, Mr. is playing the piano in the box upstairs, and we haven't seen Zhenyan." ”
"That's ......" Wang Manqing's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"I'm lucky to hear Mr. Ye's piano with my own ears. Mr. rarely plays the piano in public, and such an opportunity is rare but not sought! Gu Chengjiao said with displeasure.
Wang Manqing ignored her attitude, and immediately said with a face: "You can sing and be good at the piano, of course you prefer Mr. Ye's piano sound." I only know nine things about music theory, so naturally I can only look at my husband's face......"
"Hahaha......"
Everyone was amused by her words, and Gu Chengjiao also laughed out loud.
"Who told you not to study hard?" Fan Weiyue laughed at her, "When we were children, we were all detained in the house by the master, only you always love to be lazy, you should!" ”
Wang Manqing pouted and didn't say anything.
Gu Chengjiao's eyes flashed, and when she saw Li Wan smiling at Wang Manqing, she couldn't help asking, "Miss Li, what about you?" ”
Li Wan was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was asking, and said, "I don't know how to play the piano." ”
As if expected, Gu Chengjiao nodded and looked away.
Li Guan lowered his head and drank tea.
She can blow the flute, but she really can't play the piano.
From this beginning, the topic began to revolve around Ye Zicheng.
In this room, except for Gu Chengyu, no one has seen Ye Zicheng with their own eyes, but everyone seems to be very familiar with him, and all kinds of things have noses and eyes.
The maid in the middle brought all kinds of fine wines, not much, and served them in delicate goblet crystals.
Li Guan rubbed the rim of the crystal cup with his fingers, and asked casually, "Does Mr. Ye often come to the brewery?" ”
"It seems like it comes a few times a month, but the timing is uncertain." Gu Chengyu said.
Li Guan smiled "um" and didn't ask any more.
The group chatted and spent the afternoon leisurely.
It was the beginning of the unitary time when I returned to Wu'anbo's Mansion, and after a lively dinner in Yifutang, Li Wan and the others went home.
Back at the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, Li Wan called out to Fang Fang: "Send someone to check Ye Zicheng, the more detailed the better." ”
"Miss, why did you suddenly remember to check him?" Seeing her eagerness, she was puzzled.
Li Wan controlled his chaotic mind and said with a smile: "I heard my cousin say something about him today, and I was a little curious. ”
"Oh." Chu Fang didn't doubt him, and nodded with a smile, "I'll go now." ”
When she went out, Li Wan lay on the soft couch, his heart beating wildly.
The seal of "keeping the rules and keeping the will" on that side is engraved in simplified Chinese!
If the seal is really Ye Zicheng's, then the biggest possibility is that he has the same origin as her.
Li Wan had never been so eager to be curious about a person, her eyes were sparkling, and her heart was full of uncontrollable anticipation.
The next day, Li Wan got up early in a rare way.
After freshening up, I changed the plaster on my waist, and happily let the little maid pass breakfast.
was eating, Mianyue came, and saw Li Guan sitting on the Luohan bed, with porridge and side dishes on the low table, and couldn't help but be very surprised.
It seems that everyone knows that she is lazy, Li Wan mourned in his heart and asked, "Is there something wrong with my sister coming over so early?" ”
Mianyue was busy and said, "The prince of the world has asked someone to send you something." As he spoke, he placed the envelope in his hand in front of her.
Li Guan was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Fan Weijie to move so fast.
She pretended to be very surprised and opened the letter in front of Mianyue.
She took out the letter, skimmed it quickly, and said with a smile: "Hengde Academy will hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition in two days, and my cousin invited me to see the excitement." I picked up the envelope and looked at it, and sure enough, there was a big red post inside.
"Does Miss want to go?"
"My cousin specially invited me, so naturally I want to go." Li Guan put the letter and post into an envelope and said to Mianyue, "Sister, wait a minute, I'll reply to my cousin." ”
Mianyue smiled and nodded.
Li Guan was served by Xunfang to the study and wrote a brief reply letter and handed it to Mianyue.
"The slave and maid went back first, and the people sent by the prince are still waiting in the main courtyard."
Mianyue walked away with the letter.
"Miss, it seems that our plan is going well." Chu Fang smiled.
Li Guan took a sip of porridge and said lightly: "How is Lu Qiuwei doing over there?" ”
