No.219 Two talented women

The three-sided relationship means that Mr. Lu and the peony fairy met. Qing Shu was surprised, "Mr. is saying that this painting is not very old, is the peony fairy still alive?" ”

Mr. Lu bowed his head, put the scroll on the table, and slowly unfolded it. Then, he stroked his beard and looked at the painting carefully, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. After a while, he looked at the inscription on the painting and said, "This is the real "Morning Dew Peony", not a fake." Luo Shangshu was reluctant, and actually took it out to Shu Yatou as a dowry, haha......"

Why do you mention the dowry again! Qing Shu hurriedly interrupted, saving Mr. Lu from running the topic, "Sir, since the painter is called the Peony Fairy, there is no doubt that she must be a woman, right?" ”

Only then did Mr. Lu stop laughing, and said, "Yes, fairy, it has to be a woman." The Peony Fairy was given to her by the literati and inkmen, and was not taken by the painter himself. She herself took the nickname of Fan Chenyi Ye Zhou, you look here, look at the seal. ”

Qing Shu stepped forward, followed what Mr. Lu pointed out, and carefully identified it for a moment, and the seal at the check-in place was indeed "Mortal Dust and Leaf Boat".

Mr. Lu added, "It is reported that she learned to paint at the age of six, showed an extraordinary talent for painting at the age of ten, and became famous in Beijing at the age of 12 with a pair of "Rich Peony". At that time, Mr. was studying abroad with your ancestors, and when he came back and heard about it, he asked around how he could see the famous "Rich Peony". It's a pity that not only did Fanchen Yiye Zhou leave the capital, but her "Rich Peony" has also been sold, and I don't know whose hands it has entered. After that, Fan Chen Yiye Zhou never showed up again. ”

"There is a rumor among the literati that Fan Chen Yiye Zhou is the concubine of the nobles in Beijing who abandoned the people, her name is Mulan, and her surname is unknown. Some people say that Miss Mulan left Beijing because of the trouble caused by her "Rich Peony". A painting has achieved her reputation as a talented woman in Da'an, attracting the attention of countless dignitaries, thus making the dignitaries who abandoned her remember that there is such a daughter and want to take her back to the house. Miss Mulan didn't want to go back, so she quietly took her adoptive mother and younger brother who were dependent on each other and fled the capital. ”

"After four years of silence, when people thought that they would never see the masterpiece of the mortal dust and a leaf boat again, a picture of "Peony Turui" appeared, and its painting style and the seal of "mortal dust and a leaf boat" caused a sensation. Mr. was in the capital at the time, and I was fortunate to follow your ancestors to appreciate this painting. Your ancestor was once invited to taste "Rich Peony", and after seeing "Peony Turui", your ancestor asserted that the two paintings were made by the same person, and the brushwork and artistic conception of this painting are better than the "Rich Peony" of that year. In this way, Da'an has two talented women. ”

Qing Shu listened attentively, and couldn't help asking, "The two talented women who are called together?" ”

Mr. Lu slowly rolled up the picture and replied, "The eldest princess and Fanchen are called the two talented women of Da'an. The eldest princess is good at poetry, and Fan Chen Yiye Zhou is good at calligraphy and painting, and the two of them have become close friends and are called sisters. In this way, Fan Chen's name Mulan has been confirmed, and besides, her surname is Wu, and she is ......"

Qing Shu felt that Mr. Lu was really not speaking crisply, why did he stop at a key place, "What is it?" ”

Mr. Lu was silent for a moment, and then said, "You are young, and it is understandable that you don't know. She, whose surname is Wu, is", he glanced at Qingyang and the others who looked down, picked up the pen, and wrote on the paper: The martial arts abandoned the folk concubine, and this martial artist is a martial artist who is full of orders from the saints. Then motioned for Qingshu to step forward and look.

Qing Shu was stunned when he saw what Mr. Lu had written. The martial arts family who were beheaded by the whole door, does this refer to the Wu clan of the former queen who was beheaded after the Qixia Pass incident? Qing Shu felt that this news was too shocking. Was Wu Mulan involved, and did she escape? If it is also beheaded, it will be a pity for a generation of talented women. The eldest princess's name as a talented girl is too much, and Wu Mulan is a really talented woman, and it's a pity to die.

Mr. Lu sighed faintly, and pushed the box containing the painting to Qing Shu, "Put it away, this is the highest-rated one of the ten paintings included in the "Peony Spectrum". It is known as a rare treasure together with another pair of "Picturesque Rivers and Mountains", and is known as a rare treasure by the world. The literati and ink writers were jealous of the few people who were in the dust, and there were many people who sought after them, because out of respect and love, and most of the paintings of the boat were peony pictures, and the followers gave her the nickname, the peony fairy. Later, people only called her nickname Peony Fairy. ”

Qing Shu couldn't help but ask, "She, is she still alive?" ”

"Probably! She has never returned to the martial arts, and even if the martial arts want to recognize her, she will not go back. Because the eldest princess was friendly with her, the martial arts family did not dare to act rashly. She is also a stubborn woman, trapped by love, never married, and has been with Danqing all day long. Later, the news of Qi Xiaguan's accident came back to Beijing, and she smashed the tenth painting of "Peony Spectrum", burned her residence, and disappeared, and has not been heard from so far. ”

Qing Shu sighed that fate made people, crumpled what Mr. Ganglu wrote, and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. She turned her face to the side, only to find Qingyang and the four of them staring curiously at the crumpled paper ball in her hand. Only then did she realize that she had brought the topic to a place where she shouldn't have been in front of her younger brothers, so she hurriedly switched to another place, "Sir, how many famous paintings have you painted?" Tell us about it. ”

Mr. Lu immediately glared, "Mr. is a poor scholar, and he can teach them a few famous paintings that are not successful, what kind of famous paintings can they draw?" What famous paintings to draw? ”

Qing Shu muttered, "Just say that you can't draw, why are you angry." ”

"Stinky girl, what did you say? Have the courage to speak up. With that, Mr. Lu began to look left and right for the ruler.

"Don't let people tell the truth, Mr. is too stingy." Qing Shu said, hugged the painting and hurried away. Out of Mr. Lu's yard, she had not gone far when she heard the sound of running behind her. She hurriedly turned around, but saw Qingyang and the four of them running in her direction. She was puzzled, "What's wrong?" What do you run? ”

I only heard Qingyang shouting, "Sister, run, Mr. is going to beat someone." ”

Qing Shu was dumbfounded, "Ah! ”

Luo Xiaorong glanced back, and immediately shouted, "Run, Mr. is chasing." ”

Qing Shu also saw Mr. Lu grabbing a feather duster in his hand and chasing him out of the yard, so he snorted softly, turned around and ran.

Mr. Lu seemed to be angry, "You five, stop, stinky girl, stinky boy, Mr. will each whip you ten times today." ”

Qingshu and Qingyang ran in front, Xiaojuan was the protector, and he blocked Mr. hard, "Sir, sir, don't be angry, don't be angry, I will make you something to eat at night." ”

Mr. Lu snorted, "Go away, don't go away, even you will smoke." While speaking, he lifted a feather duster to smoke Xiaojuan,

Xiao Juan screamed and ran away.

In this way, Qingshu and Qingyang fled in front, Xiaojuan also fled, and Mr. Lu chased after him with a feather duster without any image.

Qing Shu thought while running, this is not right! Before she could figure it out, Su's mother appeared in front of her. Qingshu's eyes lit up, "Mother Su, help." ”

Mother Su was stunned for a moment, "Oh, Miss Yo, what kind of system are you, stop, stop, hey, young master, you ...... Hey, Mr. Lu, what are you doing here? When she reacted, Qing Shu ran past her with Qingyang and the four of them, and she only had time to stop Mr. Lu and began to think in a burst of fragments, "Sir, sir, what are you doing here?" What did the young lady and the young master do wrong, and you want to chase people all over the house like this? ”

Mr. Lu wanted to speak.

It's just that Su's mother didn't give him a chance, "Quick, put down the feather duster, how can you take this thing when you are a gentleman, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate, it's very inappropriate." ”

Mr. Lu wanted to speak again.

Su's mother still didn't give a chance to speak, "Sir, you are a gentleman, a respected gentleman, how can you chase students all over the house!" It's not in line, it's not in line. No, this can't be done, you can't do this anymore. If people look at it, it's not to laugh at Mr. Come, come, put this thing down, this thing is used to dust off, and if someone like Mr. takes it, it will damage the prestige of Mr., quick, throw it away, throw it away. "Yuanbao, Yuanbao, where did you go? If you don't serve in front of your husband, what are you running around? ”

Mr. Lu finally found the moment when Su's mother took a breath, and was about to open his mouth, but immediately found that he was a step too late.

Su's mother said for a while, "Sir, you have such a temper, I have wanted to talk about it for a long time." The young masters are your students, you want to beat or scold, which one dares to say more? But Miss is different, Miss is not your student, and now she is sixteen years old, and it is the most important time to talk about boudoirs. Even if Miss makes a mistake, you will be angry again, then there is a punishment, and this chasing and beating is the most important thing. The damage to the reputation of the young lady is a small matter, and the husband is not a big matter. Sir, you dissipate your anger, and then punish the young lady and young master ...... later."

Su's mother was still chattering, but Mr. Lu couldn't stand it anymore, turned around, and went back with his hands behind his back. Mother Su followed behind Mr. Lu after more than ten steps, and continued to chant as she walked, "Sir, Miss is the most naughty, and she has a gentle and elegant demeanor when she stares at it every day, can you give Miss a reason to be naughty......"

Xiaojuan, who witnessed Su's mother defeating Mr. Lu with her nagging skills, immediately threw herself to the ground for the five bodies that Su's mother admired. She hurriedly ran back to the Qingshu Courtyard, and when she saw that the young ladies and young masters had indeed fled here, she told what she had seen with an excited face.

Qing Shu laughed heartily when he heard this, and when he had laughed enough, he began to interrogate a few small ones. She didn't think that her sentence "Mr. is too stingy" would provoke the gentleman to chase people with a feather duster.

Chen Qiaojiang confessed that he said that Mr. is not as good as a woman.

Qingyang confessed that he asked his husband if he had any famous paintings for his sister as a dowry.

Luo Xiaorong confessed that he just said that the juan flowers made by his sister were better than the flowers painted by his husband.

Hao was the most innocent, because he didn't say anything at all, just being implicated by the other three.

Qing Shu finally understood the reason why Mr. Lu ran away, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

In the afternoon, Qingshu personally made a meat floss cake and came out. It was almost dinner time, and he told Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu to roll noodles and cook noodles, and he fried the meat sauce himself.

When it was ready, she asked Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu to carry a food basket to follow, and she took Qingyang and the four of them to the front and went to Mr. Lu's side.

When Mr. Lu saw them, he ignored them.

Qing Shu took the lead in saluting Mr. in a proper manner, and then said, "Qing Shu is not sensible, he angered Mr., Qing Shu knows that he is wrong, please calm his anger." ”

Chen Qiaojiang, Qingyang, Hao and Luo Xiaorong lined up and said in unison, "The student is ignorant, he offended Mr., the student knows that he is wrong, please calm his anger." ”

Mr. Lu was actually not angry, but when he saw that the five of them honestly came to admit their mistakes, he deliberately ignored people while being proud.

Qing Shu peeked at Mr. Lu's face, then lowered his eyelids, and said softly aggrievedly, "I would like to think that if Mr. is discouraged, let Mr. Ben taste the noodles prepared by Qing Shu himself." Alas! Since Mr. is still angry, I'm afraid I can't eat this mixed noodles. ”

Qingyang hurriedly received, "Eat, eat." The noodles made by my sister are very fragrant, as long as you smell it, my husband will definitely have a great appetite. Xiaoyu, hurry up and bring out the noodles and let Mr. take a look. ”

Xiao Yu agreed, and lifted the lid of the food basket in his hand. Immediately, the aroma of the fried meat sauce overflows. Sheng Ge on the side sniffed it and said it was fragrant.

Mr. Lu thought that he would have to take the opportunity to take a little more shelf, so he endured and continued to ignore people.

"It's said that Mr. can't eat it, see it!" Qing Shu said this to Qingyang, and then said, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and close the lid, when we go back, we invite Shi Niang and Shengge to eat together, so that Mr. will not be troubled." ”

Luo Xiaorong hurriedly continued, "Mr. doesn't like to eat mixed noodles, you can eat my sister to make pastries." ”

Hao nodded in agreement.

Chen Qiaojiang, who received the hint, hurriedly lifted the lid of the food basket that Xiao Juan was holding in his hand, and took out a plate of pastries and gave it to Sheng Ge, "Brother eat, this one is delicious, and the one above is even more delicious." He was referring to the layer of meat floss that was laid on top.

Mr. Lu glanced at him, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Qingyang took the opportunity to say, "Don't mention the noodles back, put them on the table, if Mr. doesn't eat it, then give it to Shi Niang and Shengge to eat." ”

Mrs. Lu naturally knew Mr. Lu's duplicity, so she put it on the table.

When three bowls of mixed noodles, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and two plates of pastries were arranged, Mr. Lu immediately waved his hand, "The things have been delivered, you can go." Hurry up, hurry up, save yourself from looking in the eyes. Then he grabbed a piece of dim sum and ate Shengge's brain, "There are a lot of delicious things over there for my brother and sister, hurry up and eat, I can't finish eating the bag and come back, don't waste it." ”

Lu Niangzi smiled, "What an adult, like a child." ”

Qing Shu smiled, "Then Mr. and Shi Niang use it slowly, and we will be back as an eyesore." Then he stretched out his hand, took Shengge's little hand, and took Shengge back to have dinner with Qingyang and them.

In a blink of an eye, on the second day, Mr. Lu's school opened, and the work and rest time of Chen Qiaojiang and Qingyang returned to before.

Qingshu was also busy. Daily collection and bookkeeping; From time to time, pay attention to doing things on Juanhua's side; If you have time, you will sit down and be a female celebrity; If you have new ideas for planning on the wasteland, so as not to forget them, you will write them down immediately, and then you will cross out which ideas you think are unrealistic; The situation on the other side of the grange, sometimes Steward Wu came to report in person, and sometimes Zhang Da was sent to report. In short, none of her people are idle, they perform their own duties, and they are all busy.

In ancient times, the village families were not idle, even in winter. Although it is not the season for ploughing, tending to the crops, or harvesting in the autumn, the grain is brought home, and there is also the need for manpower to collect the grain. Crops such as beans, sorghum, millet, and wheat are all pulled back to dry for two days and then beaten. The rice in the bud valley needs to be dried, but it takes time.

At the time of the autumn harvest, the broken bud grain sticks are pulled home, first to peel the skin, and then to push them together, basically do not care, let the sun shine, and then do other work first. When it comes to the cold winter wax moon, people will choose those buds and cobs that are relatively dry, and peel the rice grains off the cobs little by little. There are few buds, and the family sits together and works together for ten days and half a month on weekdays, and it is finished. There are many buds, and they have to be dry for a winter intermittently.

The bud valley on the Gufu Grange was basically not beaten a year ago. When grinding bud grain flour or bud grain coarse grains, they are also freshly beaten. Now that the first month is over, the bud cobs are very dry, and the weather is starting to get warmer, not so cold, and it is a good time to fight.

Therefore, Zhuangzi has not done anything else in the past few days. When the sun is good, everyone piles some bud grain cobs on the grain drying field, and then sits together to beat the bud grain cobs with the sticks first. When the rice on the stick is almost gone, everyone reaches out and rubs the remaining bit of rice off the stick. After that, the beaten rice was moved to the other side to be dried, and then piled up with budding grain sticks, beaten again, rubbed again, and so on, but it was faster than the farmer's beating.

By the end of February, the Gufu Grange, which had picked the sun to work, had finally finished beating the buds and dried them. After that, the buds are packed into bags and carried into the warehouse and stacked.

Immediately after that, people began to prepare for the ploughing.

If you want to talk about the biggest action of preparing for farming, it must be the ancient mansion. The key is that there are two pieces of wasteland to be opened in the ancient mansion. A little more than a hundred acres, fine; The other piece has 1,000 acres, and even if it is half opened, it will have to be opened for about 500 acres, which requires a lot of labor, and how can the little manpower on his own grange be enough! In this way, I don't know who released the rumors, and from time to time in the villages near the left inquire whether there is a short-term job on the Gufu Grange, and there are also those who inquire about whether they use long-term work.

It's just that the ancient mansion neither talks about employing people, nor does it say that it doesn't need people, so that the men who are going to work for a short or long time are confused and can only wait and see.

Regarding the opening of the wasteland, Qing Shu had her own plans in her heart, she didn't speak, and the people below just sat and waited for the news, and didn't inquire. On this day, she was sitting in her boudoir, reading the letter that Zhou Boyan had brought back, and Xiaojuan hurriedly came in from outside.

"Miss, Miss, I heard that Master Fu made people beat, and his head was broken."

Qing Shu hurriedly accepted Zhou Boyan's letter, and said indifferently, "Hit it, what are you doing so excited?" ”

Xiaojuan said angrily, "Miss, you don't know. I heard that Master Fu drank too much yesterday and stood on the street and scolded the young lady and young master for many unpleasant things. Her expression changed, and she immediately grinned, "After that, Master Fu accidentally collided with the town's gentlemen. The other party saw that Master Fu didn't admit his mistake, but scolded him, so he got angry and let people beat Master Fu and break his head. ”

------Off topic------

PS: Qingqing wants to say, the pro who smashed Qingqing's nine three-point evaluation votes at once, I don't know if he made the wrong three points, or if he really wanted to give three points. In short, Qingqing asked for a five-point vote and a five-point vote. Well, although it is very devastating, I still have to say, with that vote, please go and vote for other favorite authors, thank you!
