Chapter 14 Splendid Post
Chapter 14 Splendid Post
Wang Yan is a son-in-law, but his own grandmother is only a good concubine of Da Sima Wang Hao, and her identity is a little worse than Wang Jiu's grandson and grandson of the long house, so even if they are uncles and brothers, the two of them do not have much contact in private.
Wang Jiu's words startled the steward, Wang and his wife stopped fighting, and the relationship between the two was so close that they called Biaozi, and they had to prepare wine to invite him to drink together...... Chunguang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, bowed down and said, "Yes... Then go and find the son-in-law."
Wang Yan naturally came very quickly.
When he arrived at the Huxin Pavilion behind the moonrise residence, Chunguang waved towards the pavilion, turned around and saluted Wang and said, "The master will set down the wine and food, and wait for the husband and son to drink together."
In the past few days, because of Xie Jiang's matter, he has come to the old mansion a few times, and Wang Yan naturally knows that the ninth prince has just returned to Wuyang, but he has always been free and easy, and he has something to protect the ninth prince, so he didn't care at the moment and said: "It's just a bit of disturbance."
While the two of them were standing by the lake and talking, Wang Jiu in the pavilion raised his glass to this side.
Sparkling, a curved bridge winds its way to the middle of the lake.
With a smile, Wang Yan strode up, and the wind blew the wide shirt and big sleeves on his body, which made his posture even longer, and he became more and more elegant.
Wang Jiu raised his glass and took a sip of wine, hooked his lips and said: "Today's weather is clear and the wind is clear, my brother invites my brother to drink a glass together" His voice was indescribably comfortable, Wang Yan also sat down in his robe, held a pot and poured wine for the two, Lang smiled and said: "Doesn't Jinxiu want to drink?" Elder brother... Exceptional"
The two of them played a sharp edge, one guessed in his heart that this person came to the old mansion three times and twice to find himself, most of it was for the seventh master's subordinates to force Xie Jiang to be a concubine, and the other thought that Wang Jiu would not find himself as simple as just drinking...
You come and I look at a pot of wine and drink most of it, Wang Jiuxian opened his mouth: "Recently, the price of salt in the two rivers has risen suddenly, and the king is furious, and he ordered the salt and iron of the two cities to return to the royal capital..." "
Wang Yan was stunned, nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Xie's wife is the sister of Neizi" Speaking of this, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Salt and iron, which have always been profit-seeking things of merchants, have always been repeatedly banned, is it possible that the king is angry with Lord Xie..."
"This matter can't just look at the surface" Wang Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the outside of the pavilion, and took the words lightly, "Pull a hair and move the whole body, the Xie family... Won't let him have anything to do."
This sentence was quite evasive and suggestive, and neither of them spoke again for a while.
The water waves "snapped", and the fallen leaves were rolled up and down in it, as if with a bit of involuntary meaning...
After being silent for a while, Wang Jiu suddenly said: "Three days later, it's my grandmother's birthday... The old man likes to be lively, "Qu points to the invitation on the stone table" I heard that Lord Xie's daughter-in-law is in Wuyang, and my brother will bring this post back"
This person first asked about the relationship and then talked about business, and finally came to invite Xie Jiang to the birthday banquet, Wang Yan raised his hand and picked up the post and his eyebrows jumped, and then he hid his surprise and said: "Okay..."
After a pot of wine was at the bottom, Wang Yan got up and said, "Brother is too strong......
Wang Jiu didn't have the intention of keeping people, and waved his hand: "Brother, go, Fengtai... Sending my husband out of the house"
Fengtai flipped down from the top of the pavilion and saluted: "Yes, Childe" turned his face and looked at Wang Yan and stretched out his hand, "Please go first"
The king returned to his house.
On weekdays, it will be dark before coming back, today is not only a little early but also seems to have the smell of alcohol, Cui Shi instructed the girl to wipe Wang Yan's hands and face, and he personally took the soft silk straight embellished clothes and put him on: "Who did you drink, huh?" … If I go to the banquet, it seems to be early."
Waving his hand to let the girls exit the house, Wang Yan took out the post and handed it to Cui's, and said in a low voice: "I drank a few cups at Jiugongzi's place in the afternoon, and the old lady has a birthday... He wants you to take Ah Jiang there."
A small post with big teeth in the palm of your hand, open it and see... On the left is a splashed ink freehand painting, and on the right side is a blank violin poem, painted with light ink like a cage like scattered cloud patterns, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing in the clouds and mist... Xie Jiang has neither a time address nor an inviter.
Drawings and words... It reveals seven points of leisure and casualness, and three points of vague wildness...
Cui Shi exclaimed as if he was burned: "Splendid stickers! The ninth prince took the splendid sticker to invite Ah Jiang...... Oops..."
It's no wonder that Cui, who is usually moody, almost can't help jumping up at this time, it's really this post... In the eyes of the world, it is almost equivalent to a rare treasure.
The post is called the splendid post, one is that Wang Jiu personally painted and wrote and called him by his name; Second, this person was born in the Langyu Wang family, and in terms of identity, he is even more noble than the sons of the king, and he is excellent in calligraphy and painting, and he has inherited the abundance and handsomeness of the children of the Wang family. These three points alone, not only the literati and inkmen squeezed their heads to get one, but even the boudoir ladies for the lover's husband and wife... Nature is a dream.
Since Wang was crowned at the age of 96, there have been no more than ten such posts in the world.
Calligraphy and painting have been produced to the point of a thousand taels of gold, but... There is no market.
Cui Shi stood stunned for a long time, looked up at Wang Yan, and hesitated: "Does the ninth prince recognize Ah Jiang?" After asking this, he seemed to feel stupid to ask, and said, "Old lady's birthday, I originally planned to take Ah Zhi and Ah Jiang there, you say... Could it be that Wang Zhongyi begged the old lady... The old lady wants to see Ah Jiang..."
"It's not like" Wang Yanchang let out a long breath, paced a few steps in the room with his hands in his hands, and frowned, "Wang Zhongyi's identity is not up to the level of the old lady, in my opinion, the ninth prince wants to see her." Let's send it to Ah Jiang..."
It is precisely because it is a splendid post that Wang Yan finally did not mention that Wang Zhongyi wanted to accept Xie Jiang as a concubine, from a man's point of view, Wang Jiu did this, and there was a faint meaning of protecting Xie Jiang under his wings.
Since the ninth prince is willing to come forward in this matter, not to mention that a side branch concubine has to give in even if it is the sixth master and the seventh master, Wang Yan just can't figure it out, if because of beauty, although Xie Jiang is beautiful, he must still be young, even if he is a beautiful woman, it will be a few years later; Is it because her surname is Xie, is it because Xie Huaijin...
It's just that speculation must be speculation, Wang Yan didn't mention these words, just urged Cui Shi to send the post to the small courtyard.
After reading a book for a day in the dark, Xie Jiang took Beidou Yujing to Houwan after dinner. In the late autumn season, the garden has been adjusted to zero, even though the rough servants and maids clean the ground every day or fall thick leaves, the three of them stopped and walked, turned a rockery, suddenly appeared in front of a gentle slope, dark golden chrysanthemums are sprinkled long, from the slope straight to the grass below.
Beidou exclaimed: "No wonder the eldest lady muttered yesterday, Qian Ju opened just right in the garden, and there was no time to call the lady to come and see"
Clusters of chrysanthemums are huddled together, fingernail-sized bracts are open like golden baht coins, and the wind is full of cold fragrance.
Yujing had already screamed happily and pounced: "Lady, lady, it's better for the slave to fold it back and insert the bottle, it's also lively to watch"
The three of them turned around the slope a few times, and saw a path in the flowers winding and seemed to lead to the top of the slope, so Xie Jiang lifted his skirt and beckoned the two girls: "Let's go to the slope, look down from the top, maybe it's better than the scenery here."
The three of them walked up cautiously, Yujing Beidou endured and endured, but still couldn't help but fold a large handful, Xie Jiang instructed: "Wait a while to go back and find three bottles to plug in, and send them to my aunt and Sister A Zhi."
The two girls were even more excited when they heard it, you fold this skill, I will pick that branch, Xie Jiang went up to the top of the slope alone, and when he really reached the top, he knew that this was the highest place in the royal mansion, and the courtyard and pavilion were all in front of him, and even the servant women in the adjacent yard could see clearly that they were fetching water and laundry, and after enjoying the scenery for a while, they lifted their skirts and were about to go down, when they saw Han Mama turning the stone wall and hurriedly walking to the back garden.
This person has always been calm, it is very rare to be in such a hurry, Xie Jiang thought about it a few times, it is not surprising that there are two kinds, one is that the second lady of Xinyu Xie Mansion sent urgent news, and the other... Naturally, there was a situation on the side of the royal mansion, and it was down a gentle slope at the moment.
Seeing that Mama Xie Jiang Han seemed to calm down instantly, she stepped forward and bowed, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Aunt went to the Wisteria Courtyard just now and gave this..." The splendid son invited the lady to the palace to celebrate her birthday"
Xie Jiang took it and looked at it, and asked softly, "Is it a splendid post?" It is rumored that the ninth prince rarely writes, how can he give me a post, are Ah Zhi and his aunt both? "
"The old slave asked, but the lady had it"
The first one is not sure which sister-in-law of the Wang family is met on the road, and when I see the post, I know that the one who hijacked the carriage is not only the grandson Xiaojiu who is most valued by Wang Sima, but also the privy envoy Wang Jinxiu, who has been rumored to be popular in calligraphy and painting in recent years, and is regarded as a confidant by the king.
No wonder the old lady is afraid, there are many secrets in the family, and if it is broken, it will lead to death, a few people have seen this person disguised and injured on the road, and now he is cold and has made a post, as if he has to meet Xie Jiang to be willing, Han Mama thought all the way and decided to touch this person's mind first.
Xie Jiang didn't know this, so he took the post and flipped through it a few times, and teased: "Mama, this kind of post is precious and abnormal, no matter what the purpose of that splendid boy is, it's not a bad thing after all." Do you think... Posts are so valuable, it's not good to sell them when you're short of money? "
Mama Han's mouth opened a few times, but after all, she couldn't think of anything to say, so she raised her head and reprimanded the two girls: "You haven't come down yet, it's getting late, don't you know how to take the lady back?" Thinking about it and playing like crazy."
