595 Finale
When Jiang Ruoning heard that it was given to Li Guan, his heart moved, "If I paint it well, the price will not be low." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"How much silver?"
"One hundred taels of silver!"
"No, it's a hundred gold!"
The boy jumped up immediately, Jiang Ruoning smiled: "You are looking for the right person this time, although the little girl has never seen Princess Fengge, she has seen Yongchunhou, I heard that Yongchunhou and Princess Fengge are brothers and sisters born on the same day, and the two look very similar." One hundred gold, one price. This price is low, which is disrespectful to Princess Fengge. This is the lowest price, and the higher the price shows your sincerity. Childe couldn't help but think about it. ”
100 Gold ......
equal to a thousand taels of silver.
The plate and the plate are looking at each other, and the asking price is too ruthless.
This painting costs 1,000 taels, so wouldn't it have to be the same price as Xue Guozhang's painting.
The guest has a solemn look on his face, and is it worth spending a hundred gold to ask for a painting?
Jiang Ruoning handed the magpie Dengmei to the plate, "Hang it up, the guests will come to pick it up later, remember to collect another five taels of silver." ”
"Yes, shopkeeper."
Jiang Ruoning turned around suddenly, and the guest suddenly said: "One hundred gold, you must paint it." ”
"According to the rules, you have to pay half of it first."
"Do you want gold or cashier's ticket!"
"The silver ticket is less rich, and the gold is collected!"
And this kind of statement?
The guest smiled, and immediately ordered the chief outside the door to go to the money village to exchange fifty taels of gold.
Jiang Ruoning counted on the spot, "You can come here to pick up the painting on October 16, please prepare the remaining fifty gold." plate, open the deed, then the silver and goods will be in order. ”
The plate answered, Jiang Ruoning taught their brother and sister for several months, and learned the numbers on the accounts and how to open the deed, although the words were poor, but it was not important.
Jiang Ruoning took the seal from his sleeve and covered it from the center.
The plate was directly pressed with her own seal, this is what Jiang Ruoning meant, but anyone who collects a large amount of silver must have her seal and the seal of the plate to be valid.
After the guests left, Jiang Ruoning entered the study with fifty taels of gold.
Saucer smiled and said: "Brother, the shopkeeper is going to reward us again, and after recovering twenty taels of silver, he rewarded us with two hundred wen each, I don't know how much this time." ”
Jiang Ruoning is generous, and he is also generous to his subordinates.
After entering the study, Jiang Ruoning turned to the bookshelf, made sure that there was no one around, put the gold ingots into the storage bracelet, and took out a few silver ingots from it.
She walked to the counter: "I took over a big business today, and I will be rewarded with one or two silver for each person!" ”
The saucer hurriedly took it, nodded and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper." ”
"Take two taels of silver to the dim sum shop to buy some pastries and weigh half a catty of tea, and follow me to Li's Mansion in a while, and my cousin will go back to Qiantang."
The saucer responds with a "yes".
Jiang Ruoning said again: "Plates, Ming'er will go to buy the goods, ask the shopkeeper of Jinji Shop, what are the best paints?" I'll write you a list and you can buy some according to it. ”
"Yes! Shopkeeper. ”
The brother and sister didn't come long before they saved six taels of silver, and if they continued like this, they would be able to redeem themselves in a year, but the plate did not want to redeem itself, the plate was still young, only thirteen years old, although he was sixteen, but he could still earn money, he had to earn money for his daughter-in-law, and the plate had to earn a dowry. Thinking about it this way, the plate was in a good mood, and I felt that it would be a hard time to sell myself to bury my relatives earlier, and I thought that I had wanted to fall into the incense bowl, so at this time, the three of them ate at the same table. The shopkeeper also taught their brother and sister to read and write, which is not such a good thing anywhere.
In the afternoon, Jiang Ruoning brought small snacks and tea gifts into the Li Mansion, and first went to see Cui Qian.
Cui Qian said: "I mentioned your matter to the adults, and he doesn't want anyone now, but his comrades are refused to come to see him, so he is locked in the study." ”
Jiang Ruoning thought of what the son surnamed Jin said, saying that Li Guan had always wanted to paint the shadow of Fengge, but he couldn't do anything, and he always painted with tears streaming down his face, either staining the painting paper, or being so sad that he couldn't help himself.
"Is my cousin's body okay?"
"It's fine!" Cui Qian's eyes drooped slightly, she has been by Li Guan's side in the past few years, just to take care of him, although she is the sister-in-law in charge, but she is taking care of all the big and small things in the back house, and the sixteenth is in the name of the housekeeper, and the couple is dedicated to helping. It's been three years, and Li Guan still hasn't been able to come out of the shadow of Princess Fengge's tragic death.
Earlier, someone came to be a lobbyist and asked him to marry Wen Lingshu as his wife, he immediately became angry and drove the lobbyist out of the door, saying that he would never marry in his life, and he would never marry a wicked girl who was afraid of evil and killed Feng Ge.
Jiang Ruoning said: "I have to take care of my cousin more than my sister-in-law, since it is inconvenient for my cousin to see guests, Bilian will go back first." A few days ago, I saw that there was old ginseng in the pharmacy, so I bought two sticks and made them for my cousin. ”
"Miss Bilian has a heart."
Jiang Ruoning resigned.
The saucer said, "Girl, when did you buy the old ginseng?" ”
"Who doesn't have any savings and inventory, your girl also has it, and she bought it when she met it earlier."
She wouldn't be stupid enough to say that she had taken it out of the storage bracelet.
Saucer said thoughtfully: "The girl is so powerful, before the flood, the girl's family was also a big scholarly family, right?" ”
"As soon as the flood comes, whether it is ordinary people, scholars, or famous families, who can escape, life and death are equal to the world."
The saucer was a little incomprehensible, but said in her heart: she is at least a scholarly family, knows so much, and the paintings are also sold well, and there is silver every day, saying that it is a bookstore, and the book is only bought three or five copies a day, in addition to the cost, but she has earned more than ten dollars, and the real money is still the painting.
Cui Qian opened the box, and was surprised to see the ginseng inside, and was looking, Sixteen came in, "Where is this high-quality ginseng." ”
"Miss Bilian gave it to the adults, saying that I would give the adults to nourish their bodies. I really didn't see it, this Bilian girl is still a powerful girl, she can do business at a young age, and she also knows about human accidents, so she is better than me. ”
"How can you compare yourself with others, in my sixteen eyes, you are the best, kind and loyal, and diligent and capable, without you, I don't know how to survive by the side of adults."
"How's your grown?"
"I'm painting Princess Fengge again, but I still can't draw it, but I'm not crying, but I'm in a daze."
It's not the same as it has been in the past three years.
In the past three years, there have been many people who have proposed marriage to Li Guan, including ladies from aristocratic and famous families, and talented women with both talent and appearance, but he just didn't respond.
Cui Qian groaned, "You didn't ask what's going on?" ”
"He used to say everything, since the princess is gone, he believes in you more than me, I can't ask, you go and ask."
Cui Qian snorted lightly: "It's really useless." "Hold the old ginseng box in his arms and put it down, "I first invited Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse, this is supplemented with mountain ginseng, and it can't be made up indiscriminately, if Lang Zhong said that he can make up for adults, and then make it for him to eat." ”
Sixteen: "I will tell the little servant to invite Langzhong." ”
Cui Qian said: "Look at some five catties, I will give the five catties to the nurse." ”
Because she had a lot of things to do at home, she really lacked skills, so she wanted to take care of the child by herself, but it didn't work, so she had to ask the nurse to help bring it. Earlier, she said that she would guard for Princess Fengge for three years, and when she was leaving, the queen said that she would just keep it for a year, and when she arrived at Li Guan's side, Li Guan also said the same thing. Cui Qian married Sixteen as his wife two years ago, and Sixteen was happy to hold the beauty, but when he thought that his family was still alone, he was depressed and unhappy.
Cui Qian approached the study, stood outside the door and said, "My lord, you have been too tired lately, why don't you invite a Lang Zhong to ask for a pulse." ”
In the past, as soon as she said this, Li Guan would refuse, but today she said: "Please come and take a look." ”
Cui Qian was quite surprised, and came in with a smile, just to see that Li Guan had a piece of drawing paper in front of him, as before, the hair, bun and even clothes were painted, but he couldn't paint his face.
"My lord painted it again, and it will be done after a while."
Li Guan said sneeringly: "But I can't paint her face, why can't I remember her appearance?" ”
"Lord Xu misses the princess too much, the princess has a spirit in the sky, she will not want to see you like this, she will want you to be happy and healthy, and live in peace."
These words have been repeated many times by Cui Qian in the past three years.
She stood quietly on her side and asked in a warm voice, "But what happened to the adult?" It's been a few days since I came back, and I'm still locked in my study and don't go out. ”
"On the first day of August, the Beijing Daughter's Day, the princess temple is very lively, and the queen mother and Hua concubine take the princesses and princes out of the palace to worship. The Queen summoned me, and she spoke to me. ”
"What did she say?"
"She said that Feng Ge had a dream with her two years ago, and Feng Ge told her that she would come back and come to look for me."
Cui Qian was full of surprise: "Really? Will the princess really come back? "But she's dead.
Li Guan said leisurely: "I didn't believe it, but Xiao Deng and Lan Ning said that this is true, after Princess Fengge dreamed, the queen mother woke up, and there were a bunch of gifts on the case, including meat Ganoderma lucidum, and two bone continuation grasses, these things are true." ”
Cui Qian couldn't hide her joy, "Why did the princess come back?" Did God know that she had a good heart and let her return to the world? Like the book says? ”
Li Guan looked dazed, he didn't believe it, but Jiang Ruoning served all the palace people around him back then said decisively, so he couldn't believe it.
Jiang Ruoning will come back, where will she go.
Cui Qian relieved a few words, and said: "My lord, Miss Bilian is visiting today, and I said that it is inconvenient for you to send her away." She sent two old ginseng, and if Lang Zhong said that the adult could nourish him, the slave would make soup for you to eat. ”
Li Guan groaned: "You said Jiang Bilian from Jiangjia Village, Wuyi Town, Dongting County? ”
"Didn't I write a letter to tell my lord last time, her mother and my adult's mother are cousins, and her grandfather was a corrupt official who was investigated when he was the emperor."
Li Guan thought for a while, "I wrote back to the Wu family to ask my uncle, the two masters of the Wu family are still in Lingnan, this third aunt Wu has passed away, and she doesn't seem to have found the thirteenth aunt who was abducted by someone's teeth." ”
"Their veins are in decline, Xu is the third aunt's wife is reluctant to mention it to others and feels that it will damage her face, but the thirteenth aunt's wife was lost because the third aunt didn't take care of her. The thirteenth aunt's wife married a rural family, and she also gave a sum of money in private because of guilt. Otherwise, Miss Bilian is an orphan girl in the mountains, where can she get the money to open a bookstore. The slave maid asked the girl in the house to inquire about the bookseller, and the seller said that the business of the bookstore was good, and the silver earned in a month was enough for the three of their masters and servants to make a living. ”
Li Guan felt that Cui Qian's words made sense.
Not long after, Lang Zhong came and asked Li Guan for a pulse.
Cui Qian took two old ginseng, "Lang Zhong can take a look at this old ginseng?" ”
"This is a high-grade century-old mountain ginseng, which is rare in the south of the Yangtze River and easy to find in the northern Liaoning Province."
"Lang Zhong thinks it's appropriate to nourish my family."
"Don't eat too much at a time, one ginseng is divided into three times, and you can eat it once every seven days."
Xie Lang pointed out. can nourish, Cui Qian may be stewed for Li Guan to eat.
Sending the old man away, Cui Qian ordered the little servant to go and grab the medicinal materials for Li Guan to recuperate.
Jiang Ruoning returned to the bookstore, sat in the study and carefully painted the faces of Murong Lang and King Rong, the people on the paper gradually became clearer, the most difficult thing to capture was the demeanor of the person, but also the outline of the person's facial features.
The plates were purchased outside, and the books that sold well were added, and the paper, pen, inkstone, etc., and the pigments that Jiang Ruoning wanted.
Jiang Ruoning in order to practice figure painting, and painted a few statues of Guanyin, Buddha statues hung out, because the characters are realistic, a price of 20 taels of silver, some people look good and please go back.
"Remember, I painted these statues of Moti, and I only said that my friend sent them to the store and asked me to help sell them."
The plate responded.
On the second day of hanging out, Zhao Yuanwai's family invited a statue of Ping An Guanyin. Later, another big family wanted to hang the Buddha hall and invited a statue of the Buddha to go. Most of the people who asked in the store, because the price was too high, most of them were unwilling to buy, and the plate was praised according to what Jiang Ruoning said, "The statue of Guanyin outside is good, our store uses the best pigment, and this pigment alone costs a lot of money, and this paper is also the best, look at this painting skill, how delicate, even the willow leaves in the Guanyin Bodhisattva net bottle can see the vein, this is not the ...... outside"
If the plate is praised, even the plate has been learned, and from time to time the praise is more outrageous, but it is also a fact. If they sell one, they will be rewarded, this is what Jiang Ruoning promised, ten taels of silver for the painting, and if one is sold in the future, they will be rewarded with five cents, ten taels of silver is not five hundred lines, almost as a month for their brother.
On October 16, Jin Gongzi came to the shop as promised.
Jiang Ruoning heard that she came to pick up the painting, and carried the framed painting with a saucer, "The new one was framed before, and it hasn't dried yet." This "Princess Fengge Picking Herbs" is still satisfied, right? ”
Jin Gongzi looked at the beauty on the picture fixedly, his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be smiling, his expression was flying, holding the medicine hoe in his right hand, and the mountain ginseng in his left hand, as if he was collecting medicine, and suddenly he was called out, and the smile that suddenly hit the head gave people a sense of amazement.
Feng Ge was finally remembered by the world for her practice of medicine in the capital, and this collection of medicine and the practice of medicine by doctors are the same.
Jin Gongzi asked, "Princess Fengge is like this, right?" ”
Jiang Ruoning said: "That's right! If you don't believe it, you can ask the sixteen sisters-in-law around Master Li first. ”
"No, no, this son will believe you once. This is fifty taels of gold. ”
Jiang Ruoning accepted the gold and handed over the painting to Jin Gongzi.
On October 18, it was the day of the Mu holiday, the college was closed, and the yamen was closed.
Early in the morning, in front of the gate of the Yahou Mansion of Qiantang Mansion, there were people who came to visit one after another, mostly young students, but also young officials from the south of the Yangtze River.
After a lot of noise, everyone congratulated Li Guan on his birthday.
Li Guan smiled wryly, "There is something to congratulate, and I am a year older." ”
Dong Gongzi waved his hand and said: "I wish Li Zhifu every year today, every year there is today, this is the calligraphy and painting presented in the next, Li Zhifu, this painting is a little magical." ”
Li Guan waved his hand, "If it's too valuable, the official won't accept it, just open it and take a look." ”
After everyone opened it, it turned out to be a picture of a god, or a "picture of Cailu Guanyin".
An official said: "Guanyin holding a cornucopia? When did Guanyin become the god of wealth, haha...... Interesting, interesting. ”
ridiculed Dong Gongzi, everyone in this world knows that Guanyin was originally safe.
Dong Gongzi said proudly: "Have you heard of the Guanyin diagram of Zhao Yuan's family?" This painting has the same magic, the ingots of the cornucopia shine, which is to make a fortune; The official hat on the head turns purple, which means that he is promoted. Well, haven't you heard? I heard that this painter has some relationship with Princess Fengge......"
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they all thought: Princess Fengge's painting is only available in the royal family, full of bizarre colors, migrating eagles, and changing people.
Li Guan said: "Dong Gongzi's gift is too expensive, I can't accept it, since it is such a strange painting, Dong Gongzi might as well offer it at home." ”
Jin Gongzi gave everyone a birthday gift one by one, and when it was his turn, "Brother Li Ren must not refuse my painting, come and open the painting!" ”
Cui Qian and Sixteen stood on both sides of Li Guan, and Cui Qian beckoned the girl who served the refreshments from time to time to store tea, serve fruit and so on.
The painting slowly opened, and the first thing I saw was a green grass leaf and a lake-colored embroidered shoes and skirt embroidered with honeysuckle flowers. I saw the hand holding the medicine hoe and a high-quality wild ginseng, there was a whisker underneath the ginseng, and then I saw the woman's jaw above, and when her whole face appeared in the picture scroll, Li Guanqian bounced up at once.
Sixteen exclaimed: "It's Princess Fengge!" My lord, it's a princess! It's a princess......"
Cui Qian had already lost her mind, and ran to the front of the painting in a few steps, looking carefully at the eyebrows that were too familiar to be familiar, "Behind is Cuiwei Palace, I saw Xiao Ma, Xiao Deng, and Lan Ning...... Whining...... My lord, it's the princess who is back! The princess is really back! ”
In Cuiwei Palace, there is a pony holding the door of the dusty hall, and there is Xiao Deng who is walking out, looking hurried, passing through the main hall, you can vaguely see the silhouette of Lan Ning, although the figure is very small, only two inches long, but this delicate painting method accurately paints everyone's back demeanor, and there is only Jiang Ruoning in the world.
Li Guan grabbed Jin Gongzi's hand: "Where did you get this painting from?" Where did it come from? ”
Jin Gongzi saw such a few abnormal people, "Yes...... I asked for it from Li Ji Bookstore, Brother Li Ren likes it! ”
"Like! Like! He cried and laughed, "This painter is a woman." ”
"It was painted by the shopkeeper of the bookstore, and she begged for a long time before she agreed."
Li Guan's tears flowed, he turned his face to the side, and held Jin Gongzi's shoulders tightly: "Brother Jin Xian, thank you!" Thank you ......."
He quickly wiped away tears.
Jin Gongzi was overjoyed: It seems that this gift is good, he really still thinks of Princess Fengge, he can't draw it, someone paints it, and it's good to make him comfort and lovesick.
Dong Gongzi waved his hand and said: "Master Li, this painting is also obtained from Li Ji Bookstore. ”
Li Guan approached the painting and looked at it carefully for a long time, the style of painting was very different from before, using the real fine brush painting method, which was difficult to deal with the facial expression of the characters, but she handled it very well, without careful practice, it was difficult to paint so well.
"I don't know how much money Dong Gongzi painted to buy this painting?"
"Not much, only a thousand taels."
Li Guan shouted: "Sixteen, take a thousand taels of silver tickets and give them to Dong Gongzi." He waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Dong Gongzi, for sending this painting." Then he asked Jin Gongzi: "Brother Jin Xian, where is your painting?" ”
"It was begged for, and it was not spent."
Li Guan smiled and shook his head, "Sixteen, take another thousand taels." He was in a good mood, there was nothing more joyful than knowing that she was back, it seemed that what the queen told him was not groundless, she really came back, "You are all my old friends, you can come to a banquet to look down on Li Guan, you don't have to give congratulatory gifts, so you can see the outside." ”
"I can still afford to give a congratulatory gift."
But this is too precious, Li Guan is ashamed and dare not accept it, just like the gifts given by Dong Gongzi and Jin Xiandi, Li Guan must be accepted, this is a blessing and goodwill, here, Li Guan respects you with tea instead of wine. Li Guan has been unwell recently, and it is inconvenient to drink, so please forgive me. He turned his head and said to Cui Qian: "Sixteenth sister-in-law, go and see how the birthday banquet in the kitchen is prepared?" ”
At noon, three tables of birthday banquet were set up, Li Guan didn't drink, he wanted to end it quickly, and sent the guests to Jiang Ji Bookstore to explore and make friends, and after a while, the banquet was finally over, Li Guan ordered the sixteenth to send the guests away, and he changed into a capable and spiritual robe.
After Jiang Ruoning became engaged to him, he ordered the Palace Needlework Bureau to make three four-season robes with him, but he was reluctant to wear them, and he didn't know who to wear them to.
Li Guan took the sixteen couples to find Jiang Ji Bookstore, and approached the shop, Li Guan looked up at the plaque, and the overwhelming handwriting and familiar books came to her.
Today, the plates are in stock again, and the plates are guarding the shop.
The saucer didn't recognize Li Guan, but he had seen Cui Qian, and he said, "I've seen sixteen sisters-in-law!" I've seen Sixteen Butlers! She looked at Li Guan, who was dressed in a blue robe, this person was thin and young, but there was a slight sorrow in his eyebrows.
Cui Qian's heart was pounding, and Sixteen was not much calmer than her.
It would actually be Jiang Bilian, the words she said to Cui Qian were full of loopholes, but Li Guan didn't send anyone to investigate, she left so many clues for them, and she also came to the door several times, and lived in the Li Mansion for half a month.
Li Guan asked, "Where is your girl?" ”
Cui Qian said: "Saucer, this is my family." ”
"Is it the girl's cousin?" The saucer seemed to suddenly come to his senses, and saluted again and again, "I've seen Lord Li, the girl was still chattering yesterday, saying that she didn't know Lord Li's body?" ”
"She knows I'm sick?" This time for Li Guan unexpectedly.
Saucer smiled: "The girl and Kang Langzhong of Baohetang have inquired about adults. ”
Li Guan pointed to the cloth curtain, "She's in there?" ”
The dish should be "Yes".
Li Guan stepped up and lifted the curtain into the backyard, the backyard is not big, but the sparrow is small, all the organs are complete, there is a main room, look at the hall house, there are two side rooms on the east side, there are two rooms on the right, but one side room, the other is the kitchen. On the east side, one is a study and the other is a boudoir.
In the study, there is a twelve-storey bookshelf with pipa, chess, swords, etc., and ten rows of books. A young girl with unfamiliar facial features but a familiar expression sits in front of an easel, depicting a painting in detail. She wore an off-white gown on her body, and after painting for a while, she looked at it fixedly for a while, changed her brush, and continued to paint and then continued to paint, attentively, delicately, and attentively.
She painted a man, wearing a dark blue official's brocade robe, with a handsome appearance, a pair of appropriate sword eyebrows, deep eyes, and a sad face.
Li Guan walked lightly and walked behind her silently.
Jiang Ruoning is now painting the lips of the man in the painting, and even his lip lines are painted delicately and clearly, this is the last part of the face, after painting, Jiang Ruoning looked at the person in the painting steadily, "Shaoyou, this time I left so many clues, if you can't find out the truth, I really don't know what to do?" When the hundred days are up, if we can't be together, I'll lose all memories of you......"
"Ruoning!" A soft cry, the voice seemed to float from a dream.
Jiang Ruoning turned around quickly, "Ah! She dropped the brush and stroked his forehead, and hit his jaw, the pain was not light, and suddenly she looked up, and found two lines of tears on his face, and her heart was even more shocked, and her hand was loosened, and the paint was scattered all over him.
"Ah, what a good robe, it's stained with paint, I'll take a wet handkerchief and wipe it, you are really, why didn't you stand behind me without any movement......" Jiang Ruoning put down the paint tray and was about to leave Xunzizi, he reached out and grabbed her, took it into his arms, and hugged the woman in his arms tightly, "Ruoning, are you back?" ”
"Yes, I'm back, and I did everything I could to get back to the world."
Kissing, overwhelming, like warm sunshine, like the drizzle of three springs, the two hugged each other for a long time, fiery and affectionate, and never separated.
With her in this life, he is no longer lonely.
The years are quiet, and we stay together......
