Chapter 31: Yuan Chongwen's visit

On the second day, Yuan Chongwen really came over and brought a small suitcase, Zhuang Sheng welcomed him into the room, and said curiously: "Chongwen, you have traveled to the south for more than a year, and I don't know what treasures you found?" ”

"Sure enough, I made a special trip, the southern scenery is infinite, the beauty is like a cloud, I have feasted my eyes, not only that, I also got this, guess what?" Yuan Kewen put the small suitcase on the table, and then opened it.

"Song Dynasty carved book?" Zhuang Sheng picked it up and looked at it closely, and said with emotion, "This font is elegant and free, without losing its strength; The layout is also simple and neat, novel and chic, it is really a peerless product! ”

"It's just half a set, and there's still half a set at home, so it's really good, right?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know how to get it? Spent a lot of money, right? ”

"Money? This thing, I'm afraid money can't buy, originally for the collectors in Suzhou as the best treasure, I don't want to buy how much money I pay, how can I stop? It took a little trick to get it. ”

Zhuang Sheng thought that his father was now a cabinet minister, and his power was overshadowed, and he couldn't get something, but he didn't know what means to use.

"I see, it seems that it is really worth the trip." Zhuang Sheng said with a smile.

"Brother Zhuang also loves to collect and is quite interested in antiquities, what have you gained in the past two years?"

Zhuang Sheng did get a set of Yuan carvings, and a famous painting of the Tang Dynasty, which was slightly better than this set of Song carvings, but he also knew that Yuan Chongwen loved these things as his life, if he knew that he also got a set of better ones, he would be entangled, and he didn't know what was going on, so he didn't dare to tell.

"My father is old, and now I am in charge of the family affairs, and I am so busy that I worry about it day and night, where is there any time to do this."

Yuan Chongwen felt regretful when he saw that his face was indeed condensed on his brows, and his spirit was weak, and he was not as wild and uninhibited as before, and he was free and easy, so he felt regretful, "How did it become like this?" It can be seen that it has been impregnated with the world...", he thought.

Zhuang Sheng only smiled slightly and did not speak.

"Sister Ling is at home?" Yuan Chongwen smiled and said, "I saw her in the antique shop yesterday, but she ran away without saying a word to me, it's only been a year, she won't forget me, right?" ”

"No, she told me when she came back yesterday, but the girl has grown up and become more and more shy."

"I also think about it," Yuan Chongwen said, "not only has his temperament changed, but his appearance has become more and more thoughtful. ”

Zhuang Sheng knew that he was a romantic person, and now he was getting more and more debauched, and even his sister and a child were commenting, so he sneered and said: "Brother Chongwen is both talented and beautiful, and has a good temperament. Xiaomei is not the kind of person you know, it's inappropriate for you to say that! ”

Yuan Chongwen only lowered his head and smiled, and said, "I lost my words, uh...... Where is Sister Ling? I have something for her. ”

"How can a girl just accept other people's things? Chongwen, you—"

"I don't mean anything else, you say she's still a child, I naturally treat her as a child, she saw something in the antique shop that day, as soon as I went, she dropped the thing and ran away, isn't it my fault, I bought it on the same day, you give it to her, just make the child happy." Yuan Chongwen stretched out his hand to reveal a small wooden boat that was carefully carved.

Zhuang Sheng thought that this was a gadget, not worth anything, and besides, he said so, it was not easy to refuse, so he accepted it.

"Come on! Brother Zhuang. Yuan Chongwen said, "Let's study this set of Song inscriptions." ”

Zhuang Sheng happily participated, they unfolded the engraving, put it on the table, and occupied a whole table, at a glance, they felt that the momentum was magnificent, the ancient rhyme was especially fragrant, and the two studied it all morning.
