Chapter 58: Tearing the Book
Of course, An Rong knew the old lady's hobbies, if it weren't for the sudden change in family morality, he should be a civil official, An Rong took out the book in his arms, handed it to Mother Sun and said, "Mother Sun, you put this book in the hands of the eldest brother along with calligraphy and painting, this book is more important than calligraphy and painting." ”
Mother Sun glanced at An Rong in surprise, carefully took the book, looked at the old lady and said, "I originally planned to let Qifu send it, it's so important, let's let Manager Fu run it himself, right?" ”
The old lady also had this intention, but what book was more precious than the calligraphy and paintings left by the old lady, "Let me see what kind of book it is?" ”
Mother Sun wanted to show the old lady, An Rong hurriedly stopped and said, "Grandmother, it's not early now, it's almost noon when the calligraphy and paintings are delivered to the eldest brother, after lunch, the eldest brother is going to give a formal lesson, it's not good to let him go empty-handed, right?" ”
The old lady didn't care about An Rong, how long could it take to take a look, but she didn't show her, her wife wouldn't rob it, if she didn't look at it, she might not have read a book for a long time, whether the book was good or not, the prince could still lose her judgment, so she waved her hand and said with a smile, "Then send it quickly." ”
Shen Anyu saw that the book was sent away by the red sleeves, and stamped her feet a little, she talked to Dr. Liu yesterday and hid it from them, and today a book is still hidden and tucked away without telling them, even the old lady doesn't tell them, what is she doing?
The feeling of not being in control made her very uncomfortable, so she pulled the old lady to be coquettish, "Grandmother, the fourth sister is getting more and more stingy, and a book is still hidden and tucked away from us, I just want to know, let us look at it a few times can we see it bad or look at the fire?" ”
An Rong raised his eyebrows, and smiled lightly, "A book worth a thousand gold, let you take a few looks, it's not worth a few copper plates, of course I hide it and don't show it." ”
"What do you mean?" Shen Anyu looked at An Rong puzzled. An Rong only smiled and said nothing, and Shen Anxi dragged Qiu Ju and asked, "Sister Qiu Ju." If you are a good person, you can tell us what a book! ”
Qiu Ju was shaken dizzy. "Don't embarrass the slave maid for the three girls, the slave doesn't know, the girl stayed up until midnight yesterday to write the book, and the slave doesn't even know what the name of the book is." ”
Shen Anyu was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "So I thought it was a lone rare book left by a master." It turned out that you wrote it, no wonder you are afraid that the value of thousands of gold will be turned into a few copper plates by us a few glances. ”
If she could write, the sun would probably rise in the south.
An Rong's cheeks were crimson, and he pretended to be angry and glared at Qiu Ju, "Who told you to sue them, my words are one word and one gold!" ”
Qiu Ju hurriedly admitted her mistake, but An Rong's words made the old lady laugh out of tears, and the rest of the people were smiling on their faces, but they were full of disdain in their hearts, and their cheeks were really thick. It's really good to put gold on your face, and your face alone weighs a lot of gold, right?
An Rong was annoyed by their laughter, and her fair face was full of bright light. muttered, "People have a thousand words, I am already very modest with one word and one gold, okay, and laugh at me!" ”
The old lady smiled and poked An Rong's head, and sneered, "Why didn't grandmother hear the taste of modesty?" But if it's really a thousand words, you can copy it, and every word and gold will be said in the past. ”
Shen Anfu said with a smile, "Since books are so precious. Why didn't the fourth sister send the lonely rare book, so that it would be more sincere. ”
An Rong sighed. "You think I don't want to." It's just that the book is damaged on two pages, not complete, but I remember what was written on the last two pages, rather than sending a broken book, it is better to send a new one, so it is complete. ”
An Rong said, raising his eyebrows, his eyes sweeping over their faces, "Did you break the book?" It was fine when I used to watch it. ”
Shen Anfu was shocked, the books borrowed from Linglong Garden, they didn't cherish them as much, sometimes they were lazy to copy them, so they tore them off, and when they heard An Rong's words, they were a little flustered and said, "Fourth sister, don't blame us like this, it's you yourself who often fall asleep while reading books, and the books fall off your face, maybe they were broken at that time." ”
"Broken is broken, you can still see it, tear it up, it's gone," An Rong's voice collided like gold and jade, and there were three points in it, "I found that several books have traces of being torn, and I haven't read some books!" ”
In her previous life, when she got married, some books were left by her mother as a dowry, and her sister-in-law didn't let her take them away, so she sent a maid to sort them out, only to find that there were twenty or thirty precious books missing pages, and a book was missing a few pages, and the value was greatly reduced.
She really gave it stupidly, and after taking it back, she made up for the missing pages, and it was a complete and unique rare book, and it was a shame to take it back and give it away.
An Rong thought about it now, and there was fire in his stomach, "Mother cherishes books the most, and she will never break the book, I haven't heard you say that the book is bad before, why was the book torn up after borrowing you, and I didn't find the lost pages, don't think about borrowing a book from Linglong Pavilion in the future!" ”
Shen Anyu was a few weak-hearted, but everyone was the same, but he calmed down, the so-called loser does not lose the battle, and immediately retorted, "If you break it, you want us to find it, where can we find it?" ”
An Rong nodded, and said thoughtfully, "What you said is also right, but I seem to have borrowed two books from the fifth sister, one of which is a guqin score, it is better to let the maid pick it up, if it is not broken, I will make amends to you, if it is broken, ......." ”
Shen Anyu's face suddenly stiffened, the old lady's eyes froze when she saw it, and she instructed Shen Anyu's maid Taoxiang to say, "Go and get it." ”
After speaking, he added, "There are also a few girls' books, all of them are taken." ”
Shen Anfu's face did not change, and there was a vague smile, this time they did not damage the book, and they were not afraid of being investigated.
Tao Xiang walked out of the main house, felt a chill on her forehead, hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, and shivered, she was clear about the fact that several girls tore up the books, the five girls tore five or six books, and the guqin score was torn the day before yesterday!
The old lady cherishes books, and every year she will take out the books in the house to bask in the sun, and she will feel distressed for a long time when she sees the damaged places.
The old lady said that books are gods, especially those lonely rare books, which are the painstaking works of the ancestors, and should be cherished, but the five girls choose the lonely rare books to tear up, how can they explain it for a while?
Momoka settled down and went to the Agarwood Temple.
A few maids were ordered to pick up the books, and the atmosphere in the room was a little quiet, but after a while, Shen Anyu was still talking and laughing, but Shen Anyu was absent-minded.
An Rong listened to them, his eyes suddenly widened, "Daddy is coming back today?" ”
Shen Anxi suddenly smiled and said, "You didn't go to ask your mother to say goodbye, so I don't know, my father sent a letter and said that I would come back today." ”
An Rong sneered and scratched her forehead, it had been too long in her previous life, and she didn't remember what day her father came back, but she clearly remembered that night, everyone waited for her father to come back for a reunion dinner, and waited and waited, but her father just didn't come back, and they had dinner an hour later than usual, which was the first time in her life that she had eaten so late, and she was very impressed.
The old lady was worried all night, afraid that something would happen on the way.
The father came back at noon the next day, and the old lady complained that he had come back a day late, and the father said that on the way back he had met his old friend, and was dragged to drink, and he had a few more drinks, and he could not ride a horse.
The friend's brother is a six-rank official, because his father passed away, he was worried at home for three years, and he had been walking around Beijing two months ago, trying to find a rich place to go out, but there was no way.
She remembered that her father seemed to have accepted his side of the inkstone, and her father helped recommend it, but a year later, the brother was greedy for ink in office, oppressed the people, and was impeached, and her father, as the person who recommended him, was also impeached.
In this life, my father is already an official from the second rank now, and if he really wants to recommend anyone, the odds are greater than in the previous life.
Just thinking about it, Momoka and a few maids came in with a book.
The old lady was sipping tea, and Mother Sun walked over to check it carefully, and when she turned back, the old lady had already put down the tea cup, wiped the tea juice at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked, "Can it be damaged?" ”
Mother Sun took a copy casually, which was held by Shen Anxi's maid Cuiyun, Shen Anxi's brows furrowed slightly, and a bad premonition flashed in her heart.
Mother Sun opened the book to the old lady to see, and most of the page of the book was torn off, and half of it was still clamped on it, and only a corner remained, which could be dropped almost in one breath.
A flash of disbelief flashed in Shen Anxi's eyes, "Impossible, how could the book be broken?" ”
The first two pages of this book are interesting, and the back is getting more and more boring, she just turned it once and didn't read it, how could she tear it up?!
Shen Anxi looked up at Cuiyun, who hurriedly lowered her head.
The old lady's face was cold, looking at Shen Anxi's eyes with accusations, but she didn't let it go, and continued to look at the other books handed over by Mother Sun, some of them were missing pages, some were missing half, the old lady's heart ached, these are rare rare books, she still remembered that when the old lady was alive, it was difficult to find her daughter-in-law to speak, or she looked for Hou Ye, and Hou Ye found a bookshelf in the study, and specially placed these books so that the old lady could flip through.
Later, after the death of the Jiang family, Hou Ye was afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, so he asked someone to put them in a box and send them to An Rong, these books The old lady often stayed up late to light the lamp and read hard, and there were still handwritten copies of the old lady in her bedroom, but now these books have been trampled like this......
The old lady slapped the table heavily, and the frightened Shen Anxi hurriedly knelt down, her face was slightly pale, but her back was straight.
"Grandmother, I didn't tear up the book!"
