Chapter 12 Tasting
Linjiang Academy, Lotus Garden.
Dong Shulan and an old man with crane hair sat by the lotus pond and played chess.
The old man held a black hand on the chessboard and asked casually, "What about the imperial business...... Decided? ”
Dong Shulan grinned, "Grandpa Qin, you don't help me, how do you know?" ”
"Hehe, playing chess today, you are casual and brisk, but very orderly, you should have nothing to do in your heart."
"Can you see that?"
"Watching chess intellectually, looking at words and knowing people, this is common sense, and it is not a great ability."
Dong Shulan suddenly thought of those two words, and felt that these words were a little biased, so she shook her head.
Qin Lao smiled, "What, don't you believe it?" ”
"That's right, I went to Xia Village a few days ago and met a person, you should have heard of this person's name, it is Fu Xiaoguan, the son of Fu Mansion Fu Daguan."
"Oh, that. I've heard that Daguan Fu has come to beg me before, thinking of asking me to teach his son, Yue Feng...... A thousand taels of silver, hehe, he was willing to take it. But by that time, his son's notoriety had spread all over Linjiang, and of course I wouldn't go. In addition, his son provoked you before, and he asked him to bring a pair of calligraphy and paintings from the former pilgrimage for me to appreciate. ”
Qin Lao said and fell again, and said, "The thing is genuine, he wants to give it to me, what does he say...... He doesn't know how to appreciate it, and it's a tyrannical thing at home, it's indeed a tyrannical thing, of course I didn't want it...... Won't there be another conflict when you see his son? ”
Dong Shulan shook her head, recalling what she saw in the Xishan Courtyard that day, and said as she fell: "Is there any misunderstanding that everyone has about him?" ”
"How is this possible, when you were in Linjiang Tower, you saw it with your own eyes."
"But......" Dong Shulan bit her lip, "I saw him in the Xishan Courtyard, but it was like seeing another person, his words and deeds were completely different, but that appearance is always not wrong, and ...... Grandpa Qin waited. ”
Dong Shulan got up and ran into the small building here, and then walked out again, holding two pieces of paper in her hand.
The two pieces of paper were placed on the chess scale, "Grandpa Qin, according to the rumors and my previous investigation, this person ...... There is no literary talent, as you commented, you don't learn and don't know how to be a gentleman, but you can look at these two words. ”
Qin Lao was slightly stunned, he picked up the paper and looked at it, his eyebrows grew thicker, and then he raised his head, "This is what he wrote?" ”
"Exactly, it's just that he wrote it, I can't really read it, I copied a copy."
"The mountains and the song are converging, and the waves are drunk and the eyes are ......"
“…… Who's water tunes the singing head, the sound flies around Bishan, and the evening clouds stay. ”
"This ...... Did he really write it? ”
"I'm sure that his maid said that on the night of the Dragon Boat Festival, he sat in front of the window, pondered and counted, and the word fell on the paper."
His maid also said that he barely thought about this second word.
Qin Lao raised his eyebrows and picked up the second piece of paper.
"Jiangnan month, the night is full of ...... in the West Building"
“…… Su'e should believe goodbye to sorrow. Heaven is long. ”
Dong Shulan supported her chin with her hands, recalled that day, and said: "This word did not fall the name of the word brand at that time, because his original first sentence was Jiangbeiyue, and according to this word, it should be Wangjiangnan, so he said later that it should be changed to Jiangnanyue." ”
Qin Lao didn't answer, there was no sound here, he savored these two words over and over again, and then put them down.
"If that's really what he did...... This son was clumsy before! ”
"Look here, visitors are on the thirteenth floor, not envious of Zhuxi Song, Guyangzhou. The thirteenth floor was a scenic spot near the West Lake in the early years of the previous dynasty, which was destroyed in a fire and recorded in the book "Dream Lianglu". Today's Hangzhou belongs to the domain of Yangzhou in that year, and the Yu Dynasty was established at the beginning of the division of Yangzhou and Hangzhou. The book "Dream Lianglu" is not a Chinese culture, and not many people have read it. ”
"Thirteen floors mean thirteen floors?" Dong Shulan asked.
"No, the thirteenth floor refers to the thirteen floors behind the stone mountain of the big Buddha's head."
Dong Shulan's apricot eyes widened, and her cheeks bulged, "This guy ...... Lie to me! ”
Qin Lao smiled: "What did he lie to you? ”
He said...... I like Thirteen...... This is an imaginary number, which you can also understand as standing high and seeing far. ”
"Hahaha, this solution is unusual. This word is exquisitely written in the technique, and the method of empathy not only writes the beauty of the lake and mountains, but also contains the joy of feasting and drinking. The lower que takes the singing as the main line, writes the fun of the tourists, implies in the scenery here, the heart is drunk, and the wandering remains are formed. ”
"Who's water tune singing head, you see, to the water tune song head of the word brand name into the poem, it is taboo, but it is put here but it makes people reverie, this is ...... What everybody did. Looking at the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the poems written by the talents of Linjiang were compared with each other, and the judgment was made. ”
After Qin Lao's explanation, Dong Shulan understood this word a little more, and felt that the person was ...... It's getting a little bit unclear.
"Grandpa Qin, you say...... Has anyone had an epiphany? ”
"There is such a person, Yan Yunchuan, the famous prime minister during the Taihe period of the Yu Dynasty, assisted the emperor for 20 years, and achieved the famous Taihe prosperous era in history. Yan Yunchuan was born in the family of businessmen, not to learn and often live in the Qinglou, to the age of twenty-three suddenly opened, closed door to study for three years, in Taihe six years in the move, Taihe seven years in the champion, Taihe eight years as the county commander of Lu County, the following year the Ministry of officials evaluation of all excellent, promoted to the Luzhou Prefecture governor, three years later into Beijing, as the secretary of the door under the shot, another three years, the official worship prime minister. ”
"Yan Yunchuan, a legend of a generation, his son Yan Beixi, assisted two generations of kings, and worshiped as prime minister at the age of sixty in the first year of Xuanli. And Yan Beixi's son Yan Shidao, you know, is also a privy envoy of the Privy Council now, and it is no surprise that he will also take the stage to pay respects...... One door and three phases, what a glory! ”
The Shangjing Yan family is now the first gate valve of the Yu Dynasty.
Qin Lao sighed with emotion, and suddenly asked, "I seem to have heard that Yan Xiwen, the youngest son of Yan Shidao, is extremely ...... you Admiration. ”
Dong Shulan's face turned red, "I asked someone to come to the door and mention it...... I don't know yet, though. ”
"I've seen that kid, yes, the champion of the seventh year of Xuanli, with a graceful style and steady manner, quite like his grandfather."
But it was...... It's boring," Dong Shulan muttered, and said, "Then Grandpa Qin, you said, is it possible that this Fu Xiaoguan has opened his mind?" ”
Looking at these two poems alone, it is completely different from the previous impression. If you can study quietly, I am afraid you can also stand on the court. ”
Dong Shulan thought about the plans made by Fu Xiaoguan, as well as the words about the turning of rice yields per acre, it seemed that he had not considered studying, and he had to be persuaded in this matter.
Even if the Shangjia family is rich enough to rival the country, can it have the glory of the Yan family's three-phase family?
After all, this world is still the world of readers, the so-called everything is inferior, weighing the pros and cons, he should also read.
"Why don't I ask him to come and take a look at Grandpa Qin?"
"You won't be ...... to him"
Dong Shulan was embarrassed, her face was crimson, "No, I just think that since he is talented, he should take the path of studying, and I want to ask Grandpa Qin to enlighten him." ”
"It's okay, I also want to meet this kid who wrote someone's water tune singing head."
……
When Dong Shulan and Qin Lao were discussing Fu Xiaoguan, Fu Xiaoguan himself was doing something in Xifang that had nothing to do with studying.
"Boss Yu, I've seen all the utensils in your store, but it doesn't suit me, I want this kind of glass cup......"
Fu Xiaoguan squatted on the ground as he spoke, picked up a small stone and drew it.
"This kind of small cup, the top is the cup, this is the foot, and the foot is the plate - this is the shape of the red wine glass in the previous life - the mouth of the cup should be rounded, the body of the cup should be transparent, and it can only hold three coins of wine."
The pot-bellied Boss Yu squatted with some difficulty, and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Fu, this thing ...... I'm afraid I can't do it. ”
"Think of more ways to do it...... You say price, I want a lot. ”
"How much is a lot?"
"A thousand first."
Yu Zhongtan raised his head and stared at Fu Xiaoguan, "Really? ”
"Of course, you can sign the contract first and then pay the deposit, but you can't mess around with the price, because I want more later."
The two stood up, and Yu Zhongtan stretched out his hand to invite, "Drink tea inside, I'll call the master to see if there is a way to solve it." ”
"Drink tea another day, you study first, and I'll go to the Yao porcelain shop opposite and come back."
"Okay, I'll try to figure it out here."
Watching Fu Xiaoguan leave, Yu Zhongtan rubbed his hands, a thousand glass cups, this is a big order, if it can be done, the profit will definitely not be small, it's just ...... Is this Fu family's son reliable?
Seeing it today, he does things neatly, and his face doesn't look like a joke, and the deviation from those rumors is a bit big, don't care about these things first, you must get this thing out, anyway, there is a contract deposit, and you can't get the money to find his father.
Fu Xiaoguan entered the Yao porcelain shop, glanced at the goods in the store, and said directly to the shopkeeper: "I am Fu Xiaoguan, come to your owner, I have something to talk to him." ”
Shopkeeper Li was stunned, Fu Xiaoguan, he has heard this name, is there any holiday with the owner?
"Master Fu, do you want to ...... Can you talk to me first? ”
"You can't be the master of this matter, I want 10,000 bottles, if you can be the master, I can talk to you."
Shopkeeper Li opened his mouth, thinking that he had misheard, "How many did you say?" ”
"At least ten thousand."
Shopkeeper Li turned around and left, waving his hand, "Master Fu, I can't stand your joke, you can find another house." ”
"Really?"
"Of course."
Fu Xiaoguan turned around and went out and went to the Jiang Ji porcelain shop next door.
"This kind of porcelain vase with a big belly ......" Fu Xiaoguan and Jiang Ji, the boss of Jiang Ji, went upstairs and squatted on the ground, "The arc of the belly must be smooth, with red glaze, painted with golden orchids on it, the bottle stopper is done this, remember that the sealing must be good after the plug is stopped, and the words are left below, and the bottom of the bottle is also left, can it be done?" ”
Jiang went upstairs and pondered for a long time, "This utensil is beautiful, but it is difficult to ...... It's a bit troublesome to paint golden orchids, which has to be processed twice. Young Master Fu, do you really want tens of thousands of these things? ”
"Of course, if you get a sample, we can sign a contract and pay a deposit, and we will ask for more in the future, and we will also need new utensils, but you have to get this thing out before talking about it later."
"Okay, I'll personally deliver the samples to the house tomorrow."
