Chapter 11: Guining
Guining is also known as Huimen, a traditional Chinese marriage custom. It refers to the first time that a woman returns to her parents' home to visit relatives after marriage. The newlyweds return to their parents-in-law's house after the third day of their wedding, and for the bride, they return to their parents' home after becoming a first-time wife.
In the morning, let the servants help him put on a full costume, put on the posture of the palace, and went to the Yan Mansion lively.
The Yan family is also a family, and Yan Liben and Yan Lide are even more famous scholars in the Tang Dynasty, so this time when they return to the door, they must be beautiful and solemn.
Therefore, Yan Wan even put out the princess's ceremonial frame.
Yan Lide and his family waited early, and when they saw the arrival of Yan Wan and others, they were extremely happy in their hearts.
The five surnames and seven wangs look down on Li Shimin, but they don't think that all the families look down on Li Shimin.
Li Jiancheng's wife is from the Zheng family, and the original five surnames and seven hopes were pressed on Li Jiancheng's body, but Li Jiancheng was killed by Li Shimin.
The five surnames and seven wangs are extremely angry, plus Li Shimin's wife is from the eldest grandson's family, and the eldest grandson's family is after the Xianbei nobles.
Therefore, the five surnames and seven hopes are sour in their hearts.
If you can't eat grapes, you say that grapes are sour, and over time, you blindly look down on the royal family.
came to the outside of Yan's mansion, got off the horse, and led Yan Wan to the mansion.
At this time, I saw Yan Lide and others hurriedly greeted him, and shouted loudly: "Meet His Royal Highness King Yue, meet the princess!" ”
Although Yan Lide is Yan Wan's father, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, Yan Wan married Li Tai, that is the princess, even if her parents see her, they have to salute.
"Grandpa, Grandpa don't have to be polite." Yan Wan said.
"Yes, everyone is their own person, no need to be polite, no need to be polite." Li Tai said with a smile.
"Lord and Princess, please come into the house." Yan Lide said with a smile.
"Please!"
“……”
Everyone welcomed Li Tai in, and they were very enthusiastic.
Yan Wan was surrounded by a group of women from the Yan family, asking all kinds of questions, while Li Tai was invited to the study by the two Yan Lide brothers.
There are some paintings in the study, this Yan Li is a great painter of the Tang Dynasty, and his proud works are naturally hung in the study.
On the wall in front of it, it was the picture of the lady that Yan Liben had just drawn.
"Your Highness, what do you think of this painting?" Yan Liben asked with a smile.
Dether!
Absolutely!
People who are engaged in culture and art all have this common problem, and if they write a satisfactory character and paint a satisfactory picture, they wish that people all over the world would know about it.
Wenqing's common disease!
"Good!" Li Tai said, for the sake of the other party being Yan Wan's own uncle, I will hold your stinky feet today.
"Oh? What's so good? Yan Lide showed a faint smile on his face, and he seemed to be very proud.
"Fortunately, ......" Li Tai was speechless for a moment, he really didn't understand this painting.
The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Li Tai really can't see whether a painting is good or not, anyway, Li Tai doesn't think it's good-looking.
Why?
Everyone knows the pictures of ladies in the Tang Dynasty, and the maids in it are plumper one by one, and it is normal to have two or three layers of chin.
"Huh?"
Seeing Li Tai wanting to speak and stopping, this made Yan Liben's brothers very unhappy, could it be that this guy can't look down on our paintings?
"Actually, it's not bad-looking, it's just that I recently got a painting, a rare treasure." Li Tai hurriedly spoke: "So now I can't even look at the paintings in the mortal world. ”
"Oh? Seriously? ”
"Whose painting is it, is it the work of someone from the previous dynasty?"
Yan Liben and Yan Lide couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"This ...... I don't know whose handwriting this is, anyway, it's very good-looking, delicate and exquisite, so please see it for yourself. Li Tai said, then took out a piece of paper from the money bag and opened it carefully.
A dime!
The old version of a dime!
"You see, it's exactly what it is!" Li Tai handed the dime to Yan Lide, and Yan Lide carefully took the dime.
"This ...... This is amazing, this is simply amazing, such a small piece of paper can draw a picture of a maid, and these two women who are not like the Tang Dynasty are actually lifelike, it is simply the same. Yan Liben opened his mouth and said: "Look, there is a pattern on the back of this, it is extremely exquisite, so exquisite, this must be from the hand of a certain master." ”
"So what does this 'one corner' mean? What is this 'People's Bank of China ~ China'? Yan Lide asked.
"I think this 'one corner' should be a seal, you see? It's not like a seal, and this 'China ~ People's Bank of China' should be the road number or mountain number of the owner of this painting. ”
"Look, this 'one corner' should be this person's name, and this person's calligraphy is very good, well, it should be like this."
"I see, this person's surname is Min, his name is Bank, and he is a native of Zhongshan, and it is said that there was a Zhongshan country during the Warring States Period."
"No, I think it's a painting by someone from the Central Plains."
“……”
The two brothers left Li Tai aside and began to discuss.
Yan Lide looked at Li Tai and said, "His Royal Highness King Yue, who did you say painted this painting?" ”
The two brothers argued for a while, but they didn't have a definite answer.
"I don't know this, I sold it from a businessman, and I thought it was beautiful and small, so I kept it by my side." Li Tai said with a smile.
"The one who paints this painting will be extraordinary, how can a mortal paint such a delicate painting?" Yan Lide stroked his beard and said.
"Well, I can't see it, and it's natural that you can't see it." Yan Liben smiled slightly, and said, "It's better to be like this, this thing is a strange thing, how about returning it to you after we study it thoroughly?" ”
Both of them are painting fans, and now that a small and delicate painting has appeared, how can the two not study it thoroughly?
"This thing was meant to be given to the old man." Li Tai said with a slight smile.
These days, adults can't scream.
Adults, your parents, or your wife's parents.
"Good, good, good." Yan Lide laughed, carefully took the money from Yan Liben's hand, and then began to watch it again.
Scarcity is expensive, no matter what the era.
The two of them began to study again.
Li Tai smiled in the study, looking at the paintings, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yan Liben, Yan Lide!
When you go back, you must take a few more paintings back, these two brothers are already famous in Datang, take their paintings back, save them for five or six years, and it's a lot of money.
It seems that it is also very good to have such a father-in-law.
Li Tai looked at the paintings with a smile, now this painting is not a painting, but more like a pile of Kaiyuan Tongbao.
Kaiyuan Tongbao, a currency issued during the Wude period.
