Qing Mama thought of the pen that sent out Lu, and couldn't help sighing: "Such a good pen......
"If you don't write well, do you blame the pen for not being good? What looks good is not necessarily practical. The barrel of the pen is made of white jade, and the bristles are made of wolf hair, but I have used it, and it is not as good as the Linlang pen I am used to. ”
Linlang pen, Linlang is the largest pen shop in the Northern Qi Dynasty, authoritarian all kinds of pens, there are brushes, brushes, different sizes. Every year to the palace tribute pen, the imperial city of the three major study shops are sold, but than the ordinary pen is three times more expensive, Su Yan likes to use this pen, this pen does not fall off the pen hair, the time is longer than usual, a pen can be used for three months, ordinary pen up to half a month.
Qing Mama opened the box, but saw that there were still two white jade wolf pens inside, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Take it in your hand, and you can faintly smell a smell of ink, "The pen that the county lord gave to the two sons of the Zhang family has also been tried?" ”
So Yeon nodded.
"These two are good, so they are placed below, and the two that are not good are placed on top. In Mama's eyes, am I really a fool? ”
Or, maybe she's a heartless person.
After experiencing life and death, there will be no more heart.
Today, she was generous, and everyone looked very happy, but they didn't know that she had tried the pen early in the morning, and she felt that it was not good to write two words, so she decided to give it away.
Even if you don't like it very much, it looks more expensive than ordinary pens, and it is just right to give it away.
The pens for Zhang Changxing and Zhang Changlong brothers, she washed them carefully, and soaked them in tea for a while, and the ink fragrance was removed, and only the tea fragrance remained.
Mama Qing asked: "Didn't the old lady get two branches, where did these two county lords come from?" ”
Su Yan raised her eyes, "Yan Shizi gave it." ”
Yu Wenyan saw anyone who was good, so he searched for it. Please her.
Su Yan is also happy to accept it, if it is easy to use, if it is not easy to use, she will give it away.
Mama Qing looked at the brocade box, there were still a lot of things in it, in addition to pens and inkstones, there were also a few small porcelain bottles containing paints.
On the table, there is a pen holder lined up, on which pens are hung gradually, according to their size and length.
"The county lord. I'll come to inkstone. ”
Su Yan gave her the ink stick, and Mama Qing inked the ink of the three inkstones, and asked curiously, "How do you see which one is good?" ”
"One, listen to the sound, which inkstone has the smallest sound; Second, see which inkstone has the most uniform ink; Three. Get up one night and see which inkstone has the most ink. ”
It turns out that it is good to distinguish whether it is a good inkstone. And so much more.
Qing Mama was interested, tried it piece by piece, pointed to the rouge jelly and said: "This piece is the least sound, followed by the jade pattern, and then the color pattern inkstone." ”
She smiled faintly, "It still depends on the delicacy of the ink?" ”
Qing Mama couldn't tell the difference, and reached out and touched the three inkstones, but still didn't come out.
Su Yeon practiced calligraphy.
Qing Mama inkstone.
The master and servant have their own things to do, and Mama Qing looks up from time to time to examine the words written by Su Yan, in her heart. The county lord who has a big milk has the best handwriting. She is also the best woman in the world.
Bai Fei was done, took the ink stick in Mama Qing's hand and continued to ink.
At night, moisturizing things silently, and the sound of spring rain was heard again, like the whisper of a lover.
Su Yan suddenly remembered that it was thirteen years old. Later in the evening, Yu Wenyan is coming.
When she woke up the next morning, Su Yan stood in front of the desk and compared the tripartite inkstone, and the rouge jelly inkstone selected by Jiang Shuncheng was the best, followed by the jade spotted inkstone, and the most colorful inkstone. Even if it is a colorful inkstone, the ink in the inkstone has not dried thoroughly after the night.
Pouring the ink into the ordinary rouge jelly inkstone, Bai Fei washed it, and the other two inkstones were carefully put away by her.
After freshening up, move to Ruyi Hall.
When she arrived, Jiang Shuncheng had already gone to the big study, and several wives and grandmothers rushed to greet the Yu family.
Yu Shi lazily snuggled on the chaise longue, wearing beautiful embroidered shoes on the pedal, looking peaceful, when he saw Su Yan coming in, he had no expression, just like the face of a sleeping Bodhisattva in the temple showed a smile.
After saluting and greeting the ladies of the house, Su Yan sat down beside Yu.
Yu Shi said dissatisfiedly: "Persuade your father, I stopped in the big study last night, saying that I was repairing books, look, even your third brother didn't listen to him, he was a lot old, reading like this, I was afraid that I would hurt my eyes." ”
Jiang Shupeng's persuasion was useless, and it was useless for Yu Shi to say it, she handed over the persuasion to Su Yan, and Jiang Shuncheng seemed to listen to Su Yan's words very much.
So-yeon smiled and agreed.
Someone brought breakfast, so Su Yan took a bowl and drank it.
Yu asked, "How is Liu?" ”
didn't say the sixth wife, nor did she call the county lord of Changping, let alone call Feifei, and called Liu's directly, which shows that the Yu family has a deep sense of mustard for Feifei.
Several wives listened attentively, especially He and Zhang Shuangshuang, who were trying to hear the reason.
Su Yan sighed lightly, "Xu is too tired to sleep well, and the lack of qi and blood leads to a coma, and he will get better after a few days." ”
Yu Shi knew the reason, and his face was dissatisfied: "I was recuperating yesterday, isn't it okay today?" ”
Seeing that the Yu family was becoming more and more dissatisfied with the sixth room, He said, "Okay, so what? Today is the day when the three dynasties return to the door, and she has no mother's home, so she must continue to rest in the room. ”
Murong was very worried, and said, "Then if you want to live in the right moon, how can you do it?" ”
There is a custom in the imperial city that when a girl marries into her mother-in-law's house for a month, she has to go back to her mother's house to live in the same month.
Shen only didn't speak.
Now the people in the house are quite disgusted with the Liu family, such as the Yu family and the He family; There are also those who don't like it, such as Shen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; There are those who defend the Liu family, such as the Murong family and Su Yan.
Su Yan said: "It's better to let her go to Tianlong Temple to live for three days and copy the "Requiem Sutra" for her deceased parents." ”
Murong Clan praised this idea as good.
As he was talking, he heard the laughter of a girl: "Grandma, the splendid is here!" ”
Jinxiu wore an emerald red dress, jumped into the flower hall, examined it, bowed and called "grandma", turned to look at Su Yan, and called "auntie" sweetly.
Shen said: "It's really a villain, I know that I want to please my ancestors and our family's lucky stars, but others don't shout." ”
Jin Se entered the flower hall, saluted the old lady decently, and called everyone again sweetly. looked at Zhanyan and said, "Cousin, let's go play!" Also go to the back garden to swing. ”
Zhan Yan is more than two years older than Jin Se, and the two can play together. Pulling people to retreat and leaving, Jinxiu followed behind them.
Jiang Suting walked behind the last mile, and her two daughters were out of the courtyard, so she came in slowly and told a few words like "don't mess around". Seeing the salute, he greeted the old lady and sat down beside So-yeon.
She raised her hand, and the two girls held two brocade boxes. "I let my sister break the bill yesterday, and I'm embarrassed to be my sister. This is a little heart, and my sister has to accept it. Look at your head is plain, you are the same age as flowers, you have to dress up well. ”
The ladies looked closely, and they saw two very beautiful boxes. The one given to So-yeon is obviously taller than the other.
Jiang Suting opened it with a smile, and the first layer was a set of white jade head jewelry, hairpins, white hosta flowers, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets of mutton fat and white jade. It is a complete set, that is, elegant and noble.
When Yu Shi saw it, he was happy in his heart, with an appreciative smile on his face, someone gave her daughter something good, and he was even happier than sending her directly. "It's all my own sisters, Yan'er, you can take it."
Jiang Suting closed the first layer and opened the second layer, which contained a set of pearl jewelry. The style is very chic.
Yu Shi smiled: "Ting'er is really smart, she actually knows that your sister loves these two things." It is said that the mutton fat and white jade are elegant, and the pearl is extravagant. ”
Jiang Suting accompanied Zhang Shuangshuang and a few of them to play leaf cards yesterday, and they inquired clearly when they were playing cards, knowing that Suyan likes plain dresses, and even the hair accessories on her head are different from many ladies in the imperial city, and she likes elegant and chic. But what is not good. She will take it, but she will give it away.
Su Yan was also not polite, and took it with a smile: "Thank you, sister." ”
Yu squinted slightly, Jiang Suting would not give such a heavy gift for no reason, except that Suyan was generous yesterday and gave her four children gifts, but I am afraid that there are other reasons.
Jiang Suting took another brocade box, which was a set of pure gold head and face jewelry, and it was also a complete set, all of which were moon flowers, and it was even more rare that the flowers on the gold hairpin were as real as they were, dazzling, as thin as cicada wings. He smiled and handed it to Murong Shi, "Second sister-in-law, this is for Zhanyan." ”
He Shi's face was a little unbearable, thinking that he also had a daughter, Jiang Suting sent them, but did not send herself.
Jiang Suting said again: "Third sister-in-law, when your sister Mei is older, I will give her a good set." ”
He felt comfortable, although there was no, no matter how beautiful the jewelry was, it would be outdated in two years, "I thanked Sister Mei first." ”
Murong called the girl and asked her to send the jewelry to Zhanyan, with an extra set of heads and faces, and more decency. "My sister-in-law came just in time, my sister-in-law and I are chattering, you accompany us to pick a dowry gift, help us see how to prepare more properly."
Several people got up to say goodbye to the old lady and left one after another.
He Shi is not at ease, and always guards against the big house and the second room from hollowing out the big warehouse of the public middle school, and he has to make fun.
Zhang Shuangshuang is indispensable because he helped the Shen family preside over the feed.
Mama Tian and Bai Fei looked at the beautiful jewelry in the brocade box and applauded.
Yu asked Su Yan, "What good things did Su Ting take from you yesterday?" ”
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Su Ting grew up next to the Yu family, and the Yu family only felt that Jiang Suting would not be so generous to Su Yan plainly.
Mama Qing replied on her behalf: "Grandma and Grandma discussed with the county lord two paintings of Lingxue Jushi. ”
Yu snorted coldly, "She has always been a calculating, she obviously took advantage of it, and she was extremely generous." ”
With Suyan's gifts to the four children yesterday, Jiang Suting gave at most one set of noodles, but sent two sets, Yu guessed that there was an article in it, and when he asked the reason, it was really the case.
"Su Ting is a face-loving person." Yu pondered in his heart for a while, and said to Mama Tian: "Go and bring my jewelry box." ”
Mama Tian responded and folded into the inner room to take the jewelry.
Yu took the jewelry box, looked at it, and picked out a few ordinary headdresses, worth about twenty taels of silver, a pearl hairpin, a pair of Nanzhu earrings, and a beautiful golden rose hairpin. "Find a box and put it in it, and go back and let Su Ting take it back to Zhang's mansion, just say that it is a gift from the county lord to the eldest sister, third sister, and fourth sister of the Zhang family."
