Chapter Seventy-Eight: Now Reported
"Open!" Concise command! The corners of Xu Jingxuan's mouth raised a sense of interest, did the little girl's family just give away an ordinary thing, or was there another surprise?
"Yes!" I brought it all, and I didn't care if I opened it for the master.
The sword opened the brocade box in his hand with an expressionless face, and then asked the little eunuch on the side to help and quickly unfolded the painting scroll in his hand.
If the words and deeds of Bai Zhihong's father and son shocked most people, the unfolding of this painting at this time amazed everyone present.
Even the old man Bai's pale and uncertain old face was also shocked and ecstatic at this time, and he involuntarily stood up from his seat.
Bai Zhigao and Bai Zhifei's faces changed rapidly, and they were shocked in their hearts: How is it possible?!
The authentic works of the Xu family and the Yang family in the previous dynasty may not be true or false in the eyes of ordinary people, but for most of the Confucian scholars present who are immersed in the realm of poetry, calligraphy and painting, they can see the truth at a glance.
There are even a few Confucian scholars who love to paint and are fascinated by words, and they have already stood up like Old Man Bai, and they can't help themselves and are about to walk towards Xu Jingxuan.
Spit! The little girl is willing!
Xu Jingxuan pursed the corners of his lips, sneered, and looked at the greedy eyes of the Bai family, and suddenly a sense of interest in teasing rose.
The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and the most real sword he saw beside him only felt a headache, this master, there must be some tricks for the whole person, can he avoid it first at this time?
knew that attending a birthday banquet would have to do so many restless things, even if he gave the waiter a strong medicine to cure his diarrhea, he should not be by his side with the troublesome master instead of him.
At this time, in the midst of a burst of exclamation, Xu Jingxuan also made a look of surprise and said, "Oops! This is not a painting by the Xu family. Yang's inscription poem? This is an extremely precious treasure that is hard to find! ”
"The Nine Emperors have good eyesight, exactly! Exactly! Immediately someone chimed in.
Old Man Bai's happy eyebrows were trembling, I didn't expect that unfilial son to have such a precious Tibetan map!
"Sure enough, it's a good painting, a good word, although it's the first time I've seen it so closely, but I am also deeply admired by the talents of these two people!" Xu Jingxuan stroked his chin with concern and tried to appreciate it. God knows that he doesn't like to stay in the study and read calligraphy and paintings.
"Isn't it? I have to get a painting from everyone in Xu. Or a pair of words from everyone Yang, which is already available but unseek, but now it is the cooperation between them and everyone. It's definitely a treasure among treasures! Those Confucian scholars who loved calligraphy and painting had forgotten Xu Jingxuan's identity, and they were attracted by calligraphy and painting to get closer and closer, and the admiration in their eyes was indescribable.
At this time, the old man Bai, who wanted to show his indifference, finally couldn't help it. The footsteps were a little trembling, and I couldn't restrain the ecstasy in my heart and walked to the main table.
Xu Jingxuan was obviously admiring calligraphy and painting, but in fact, the corner of his eye was paying attention to Old Man Bai's every move. At this time, seeing that he made a move, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
After seeing a sigh, he suddenly said: "My father is also the most favorite of the calligraphy and painting of these two masters, if he is allowed to look at it, he will definitely be happy." Rejoice! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's feet suddenly froze, and Old Man Bai's body shook even more obviously. The faces of Bai Zhigao and Bai Zhifei, who followed closely behind him, also turned blue and white in an instant, and turned white and blue.
What does that mean?
This is the question on everyone's mind.
Is this a request for this calligraphy and painting for the emperor?
This is the voice of all those who understand.
The few Confucian scholars who had just approached were a little regretful. He glanced at the calligraphy and painting with reluctance, quickly returned to his seat, bowed his head and pondered, as if he had never acted before.
And the most embarrassing and embarrassing thing is, of course, the Bai family father and son who can't pretend that they haven't heard anything in front of everyone.
Old Man Bai's heart was about to knot, at this time, he really wanted to pretend that he was a stupid and a fool, and he couldn't understand Xu Jingxuan's hints, and then directly took the calligraphy and paintings he dreamed of from his hands and treasured them well.
However, he can't do it, and he can't let go of this face, and if he dies to save face, there is only one result, and that is to suffer alive.
Even if his flesh hurts, his heart hurts, and there is no pain on his body, he can only go to the end, and silently tear up: "If the emperor raises love, the old man should give his love to my emperor first!" ”
"Ahh Really? The old gentleman is willing to give his love to his father? Xu Jingxuan's surprise said that as much as it is pretentious, it is as pretentious.
The sword almost couldn't bear to watch it anymore, the master's acting was very enjoyable, and he could only twitch the corners of his mouth to calm down.
"Yes!" Except for this one word, Old Man Bai could hardly say the rest of the words, and his blazing eyes instantly dimmed a lot.
If he had known that the unfilial son had come with such a gift, even if he didn't want to see him again, he would have waited until the matter was over.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, even if his regretful intestines are green, he can only swallow the bitter water in his stomach.
At this time, the only hope he held was that the Nine Emperor Princes were just playing a small joke with him, and they were still embarrassed to accept this big gift.
But Xu Jingxuan's subsequent words almost made the old man hold his breath in his chest without slowing up.
"Hmmm! Then thank you for the old man's love, I really didn't come in vain today, I thought this birthday banquet must be boring, I didn't expect not only to watch a good show, but also to get a baby! This trip is really worth it! ”
Master, can you keep your mouth in your mouth?
Even the sword servant couldn't bear to look at Old Man Bai's face.
But Xu Jingxuan didn't see the face of the old man Bai, and ordered the sword: "Sword servant, put it away quickly, don't let the filthy smell of the food taint this precious calligraphy and painting!" ”
"Yes!" What else could he say as a guard?
Old Man Bai has been living all his life, I'm afraid he can't figure it out, the Nine Emperor Princes are taking revenge on Bai Qingshuang!
After experiencing an unexpected turmoil on this side, it finally entered the normal banquet trajectory.
Even if some people sigh, some sigh, and some regret. Some people's hearts hurt beyond measure, but you can't just hold on to your feelings and skip dinner.
On the other side, Mrs. Bai's face was almost as ugly as being smeared with pot ash.
"What's going on, why did those demons and losers come over?" She said that she was coming over instead of coming back, but there was a bit of intriguing meaning in it.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was angry, Bai Zhang shrank in fright. Subconsciously looked towards the Poplars. But the latter didn't seem to feel the solemn atmosphere of the banquet. I didn't react at all when I lowered my head.
This pretentious woman!
Bai Zhang was so angry that he grinned, but he could only swallow his dissatisfaction into his stomach and smile with a smile on his face. Pretending to be surprised, he said, "Yes! Why didn't they come here? According to the daughter-in-law, she must be poor and crazy, and she wants to come to eat and drink! Fortunately, I still know some shame, so I left! ”
Poor and crazy?!
Bai Yang's lowered brows moved slightly, and he snorted coldly in his heart with disdain. If people are poor and crazy and come over to eat a banquet, can they send the calligraphy and paintings of Xu and Yang? It doesn't matter if you don't learn or don't know how to do it. The important thing is that the eyelids are so shallow, and they will eventually be harmed by their ignorance!
Does she know how much that painting is worth? That's worth more than the four hundred taels of silver she superficially wants to take, and I don't know how much!
Otherwise, why did the eyes of many Confucian scholars shine, and the old lady regretted it! It's cheaper for nothing. got this calligraphy and painting to honor the emperor who also loved to paint.
However, the two of them were able to come up with such a precious and rare piece of calligraphy to draw, which was really unexpected by everyone!
It's hard to do it. When they were kicked out of the house, they took the calligraphy and painting with them?
No! Probably not! Think of the snobbery of the white Zhang family and the shrewdness of the mother-in-law. How could they let them take away that precious calligraphy and painting under their noses!
Take another 10,000 steps back and say, according to Bai Zhihong's filial piety back then, and knowing that his father-in-law is a person who loves to paint, it is impossible for him to hide this calligraphy and painting privately!
Therefore, this can only show one thing, that is, today's Bai Zhihong family is probably not the same as before.
I couldn't help but see the little girl's immature and green face, but the eyes were more mature than those of children of the same age.
How old is that kid? Ten years old? No! It should be more than that, it should be thirteen or fourteen years old!
Here the Bai Yang clan is concerned about Bai Qingshuang, and the old lady Bai is looking at the eldest daughter-in-law, and there is a kind of resentment that iron is not made of steel, but even if there are thousands of displeasures in her heart, she can only suppress it a little in today's occasion.
She originally asked softly, but only the family of the owner of their main table heard it, but the eldest daughter-in-law was afraid that others would not know that they had a grudge against Bai Zhihong's family, and her throat was so thick that several tables nearby could hear it. Then you say, what else can she do at this time except swallow her anger?
"Mother, don't be angry with your eldest brother and daughter-in-law, according to your daughter, that family may want to take this opportunity to go home to show goodwill! As long as you put your position right, just don't understand anything, why bother to find trouble for yourself! The eldest daughter, Bai Zhimin, whispered in her mother's ear, "Moreover, it is precisely because the eldest brother and daughter-in-law are such a mediocre talent that you can better handle her, right?" ”
"Can I still be angry? One is the standard embroidered pillow, which is big and doesn't look at the occasion to speak! One is like a stuffy gourd, three punches can't hit a stuffy fart, and he is still shrewd. Why did I have such two daughters-in-law with their own ghosts! Old Madam Bai was full of resentment, and could only complain to her most intimate eldest daughter, "If I knew this, I should have let you stay at home in the first place, but it saved a lot of worry!" ”
"Mother, look at what you said!" Bai Zhimin covered his lips proudly and chuckled, "If my father hears this, I have to say that you are a woman's little belly!" ”
"Humph! If he dares to say this about me, see if I don't pull off all his hypocritical masks and show them in front of the world! Old Madam Bai's face sank a little more.
Bai Zhimin's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he patted his mother's hand and said, "Mother, if it weren't for what my father did to be sorry for you back then, you might not be able to control the whole mansion now!" ”
"Humph! That's his humble heart! Thinking of the events of that year, the turbid breath in Mrs. Bai's heart almost turned up again.
"Okay, mother, don't be angry, these things are over, and those who are in the way of the eyes are not under your nose!" Bai Zhimin comforted the old mother and gave Bai Zhang another look.
Bai Zhang, who didn't know what he said wrong and made his mother-in-law angry, was still clever now, so he quickly stood up and said to the old lady with a wine glass: "Mother, you know, daughter-in-law is stupid, if you do something that makes you unhappy, you can forgive your daughter-in-law!" This glass of wine, the daughter-in-law should drink it first! ”
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Old Madam Bai's face, so she came to do it first as a respect!
Because there were still the rest of the ladies at today's banquet, Mrs. Bai didn't dare to take too much of the shelf, and finally under the hint of her daughter, she relaxed the expression on her face, and also took a sip of the wine glass, which can be regarded as forgiving this reckless daughter-in-law.
