CHAPTER XX
"In another month, it will be my grandmother's birthday, Sister Qing might as well take this opportunity to pick a gift for her old man," Kang Shanyao walked on the left side, just half a step faster than Nan Qing, and introduced Nan Qing with rich experience, "Sister Qing, you see, there are a lot of novelties in this shop." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
As she spoke, she instructed the shopkeeper to draw a few auspicious characters.
Song Nanqing was very boring, she had already thought about what to give to Mrs. Kang's birthday, buy a painting here, and when she went back, everyone would know about it, and she would inevitably be talked about.
"How can such a thing get into my cousin's eyes," Kang Maoxi raised his eyebrows, swept the pile of calligraphy and paintings from the corner of his eye, and a very disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his slightly childish mouth, "I remember that a few days ago, your family didn't receive a new pair of Lu Hanchen's words, take it out and take it out." ”
These calligraphy and paintings, all selected by Kang Shanyao, although not as good as those everyone, but also outstanding, at the moment by Kang Maoxi with a very disgusted expression, Kang Shanyao is a little unable to get off the stage, but she is psychologically strong, after a while, she followed Kang Maoxi's words, and smiled gently, "It's also that I'm troublesome, what kind of background does Sister Qing have, where is our vision compared." ”
As soon as her words fell, several other young ladies from Kangfu immediately looked at her unkindly, Song Nanqing didn't know it, but the corners of her lips rose but a proud smile appeared, "Third cousin, don't be humble, although you are not like Nanqing who was personally taught by your grandfather since childhood, but the gentleman invited by the house is good, I heard that the third cousin often stays up late and studies hard, so he has today's reputation." ”
These words are really not good, and they didn't leave a trace of affection for Kang Shanyao, Kang Shanjia even laughed out loud, Kang Shanyao was very embarrassed, she has always boasted of being diligent and hardworking, and she is also a little famous in the capital, and now she is proud of her worthlessness when she was hit by Song Nanqing, and she really hates it in her heart, this cousin has been like a different person since she had a fever last time, no matter how she pleases, it is always her who loses face in the end, Kang Shanyao bit her lower lip, and a trace of grievance appeared in her eyes, but unfortunately no one here pays attention to her, Only Kang Maowen felt that this new cousin was too proud, and he didn't take people seriously, so he was a little unhappy in his heart.
As he was talking, the shopkeeper came, "This is a volume of the Heart Sutra copied by Mr. Lu for Concubine Cheng in the previous dynasty, Seventh Prince, you see, this painting is handsome and free, is it Mr. Lu's charm." "The shopkeeper asked people to spread the words.
These young masters and young ladies all grew up in the golden jade pile, especially Kang Maoxi has seen a lot of good things, but when he heard Lu Hanchen's true works at this moment, he couldn't help but get serious, his expression rarely showed a bit serious, he stared at it for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he turned around, he showed a smile to Song Nanqing, "Cousin, come and see, I saw Lu Hanchen's words from my grandmother, and it really looks a little like it, this is from the Treasure Pavilion, and the custody is almost inseparable." ”
He said that his grandmother, that is the most noble woman under today, to say that Kang Maoxi has seen Lu Hanchen's words, Song Nanqing is convinced, there are few good things in the palace, but this word is also true, then it is worth thinking about, Lu Hanchen is the calligraphy and painting of the previous dynasty, his calligraphy and painting are in a class of their own, and he made a lot of calligraphy and painting when he was alive, but unfortunately the family house is restless, after his death, the rich family property caused several sons to fight, and his calligraphy and painting were not properly preserved, and there was a fire in the courtyard one night, All the notes were burned down, it was because there were very few left, so it was extremely precious, although her grandfather collected a lot of calligraphy and paintings, but there was no Lu Hanchen, at this moment when he heard the news, although he felt that it was a trap, but Song Nanqing rarely had some interest.
Song Nanqing grew up with Old Man Song when he was young, and naturally had a vision or two, seeing that the word was indifferent and beautiful, and its artistic conception was peaceful, it was really a good masterpiece, Song Nanqing was about to take it over and take a closer look, but he stretched out a hand over there, "What words, Seventh Brother also show me." ”
Kang Shanjia took the first step in his hand and glanced at Song Nanqing triumphantly, "Seventh brother, Jia'er just doesn't know what gift to give to grandmother, this heart sutra is very good, grandmother will return to what she likes, or we will buy this." ”
Kang Maoxi raised his head unexpectedly, looked at Kang Shanjia meaningfully, and said slowly, "Since you like it, then buy it." ”
Kang Shanjia's smile lasted no more than a second, her slightly thick lips opened and closed, but she didn't dare to complain to Kang Maoxi, she only glared at Song Nanqing fiercely, no matter how she didn't know it, she knew that she couldn't afford this pair of words anyway.
"From the Treasure Pavilion, my cousin doesn't have to doubt it." Disturbed by Kang Shanjia, Kang Maoxi was not in the circle, he casually took a folding fan from the shelf to admire, but the corner of his eye crossed the girl who was attentive, and said casually, "Since this thing is liked by my cousin, let's wrap it up, and this gift will be used to make amends to my cousin." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he raised his head in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, it was the young master from the princess's mansion, and such a rare calligraphy and painting would be given away.
Song Nanqing's eyelids jumped, but when he turned around, his eyes flashed with surprise, "How can this make the seventh cousin break the bank." ”
Kang Shanjia on the side saw that Kang Maoxi had given such a big gift to Song Nanqing, his eyes flashed with jealousy, and the handkerchief in his hand was also stirred and stirred.
Song Nanqing wore a lake blue short shirt today, the spread skirt was embroidered with white daffodils, and the undisguised smile at the corner of her lips was like a bright warm sun shining on that lake, and the heart of the person who took it seemed to have ripples, Kang Maoxi stared at her for a while, and inexplicably felt that her throat was a little dry, and what she wanted to say was all stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to speak.
"This word is naturally excellent, the seventh cousin took such a precious thing to me, what do the other sisters think."
"Cough," Kang Maoxi suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that he was staring at this vulgar girl in a daze, a little shame flashed on his face, and his tone was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously said, "What's this, no matter how precious things my cousin is, I deserve it." ”
A young man who is only fourteen years old, no matter how noble his background is, he is so straightforward to flatter, but unfortunately he has evil intentions, Song Nanqing sneered in his heart, he can't be as short-sighted as he was in his previous life.
"Seventh Prince, this word," the shopkeeper spoke, "but it is a bit special, this pair of words was originally put by a guest to sell on consignment with us, and the guest did not say how much, only said that if you want this pair of words, you need to take the right thing in exchange." ”
"Oh, that's interesting," Kang raised an eyebrow, "and you can just say what he wants." He spoke in a tone that he deserved, as if there was nothing in the world that he couldn't reach.
"The guest, he said he was still short of a plum cup in his house." The shopkeeper replied respectfully.
Song Nanqing's heart moved, and most of the questions in her heart were solved at this moment, she smiled, her eyes were shining like agate, and she asked with a serious and serious expression, "The plum cup that the shopkeeper said is the plum cup named after the four gentlemen made by Master Qi." ”
Master Qi is a well-known master of utensils for a long time, the utensils created have always been hard to find, this set of tea sets was originally Master Qi with the theme of the four gentlemen, it took several months to build, that person collected orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, just this one, no wonder willing to use Lu Hanchen's words to exchange.
Kang Maoxi's eyes flashed, and he quickly glanced at Song Nanqing, raised his chin, and showed a squirming expression, "Isn't this son's silver rare, you, go and tell him, Cousin Qing will take a fancy to his words, and let him say the price immediately." He threw the folding fan in his hand on the table, and his tone was arrogant and domineering.
It would be more similar if he was in the back with two fierce and vicious little guys, Song Nanqing wanted to laugh a little in his heart, for this seventh cousin to introduce her into the Treasure Pavilion, and also asked for Lu Hanchen's words by name, such a simple trap must be his own handiwork.
"This," apparently the guest also had a background, and the shopkeeper was a little hesitant.
"Okay, why should the fourth brother use those vulgar things to tarnish this elegance," Song Nanqing's eyes turned around Kang Maoxi, and he was also willing to accompany him to act, and said with a smile.
"I have a cup there, I have been there for a long time, my grandfather said that it was given to him by Master Qi, I have never cared about this, and now it is in the hands of people who know things, and I am also happy in my heart." Her voice was soft with a girl's peculiarity, "The shopkeeper also said that the guest was exchanging this painting for a plum cup, and we should not change his rules." ”
Kang Maoxi was stunned, he didn't expect Song Nanqing to send the falling snow cup out so quickly.
It's just that this is as he wants, why is he still so unhappy in his heart, Kang Maoxi was upset, and then heard Song Nanqing delicately put on a righteous and bright reason, and even didn't hide his disdainful eyes, and the corners of his mouth flashed a sneer, what the eldest brother said was right, this cousin is really good at acting, and he looked arrogant and domineering that day, and he looked delicate and pitiful in front of outsiders, that cup was originally Mrs. Song's favorite thing, and this cousin was able to change his eyes without blinking.
"My cousin is really generous, this falling snow cup is also a beloved thing of great significance to Old Man Song, now that he is gone, my cousin has become the one who is in charge, and he even said that he would change it." Kang Shanyao obviously remembered Song Nanqing's ridicule, and the appearance of yin and yang was different from usual.
The origin of this falling snow cup is not a secret, as long as you inquire a little, you will know, Song Taifu collected a plum cup, when the master prayed for this thing, Song Taifu gave back with a poem, this move was rumored to be a good story in the capital.
Master Qi will never produce a second piece of each utensil, and only Song Nanqing has the Luomei Cup in the whole world, and the owner of the word must also know, so he spent his time finding this word and wanted to exchange things for things.
"The fourth sister is right, that's a relic of Old Man Song." Kang Maoxi's tone was serious, like a solemn reminder. The reason why he invited Song Nanqing to come over today is that he has long known the existence of this character, according to Kang Maojin's words, the owner of the word is a very background existence, whether Song Nanqing decides to change it or not, she will not be able to do well in this matter, if she does not change it, she will inevitably offend the guest, if she changes, it will inevitably leave a person with a cold impression. In short, he pondered this plan in his heart for a few days before he deliberately lured Song Nanqing out today.
"If my cousin really likes this calligraphy, it is better to ask the owner of the character to come out to negotiate, and I can't exchange it for the relics left by Old Man Song." Kang Maowen also shook his head and persuaded disapprups.
