refused these people's requests for words, and Luo Yan didn't wait for the owner of the calligraphy and painting stall to help frame it, and just waited for the ink to dry and took it away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The mounting of hard yellow paper is more troublesome than that of rice paper, originally Luo Yan thought that framing calligraphy and painting was very simple, but after asking, he knew that it would take ten days and half a month to frame a scroll at this time. According to this time, it is obvious that I can't catch up with the trip. Luo Yan had no choice but to give up the plan of framing.

However, the hard yellow paper itself is also in a hurry, and if it is not framed, it naturally cannot be used as the most important gift. Luo Yan thought about it, it was better to look for a gift while it was still early.

Taking advantage of the dry ink, Luo Yan thought about what to send. In the end, it was decided to send a small jade thing. Compared with jewelry and the like, it is always better for the elderly to have something to play with in their hands than to wear it for others to see. Fortunately, Luo Yan still brought some money when he went out, so the money on him was enough to buy a small jade product. After making up his mind and looking at the ink on the paper, Luo Yan cleaned it up, paid the money to the store, and floated away.

Small pieces are quite easy to buy, and with a goal, Luo Yan naturally quickly found such a shop that sells jade. picked and chosen, and finally Luo Yan fell in love with a handle that was carved into the shape of a cabbage. There is another piece, which is a lotus pendant carved from green jade, Luo Yan likes it very much, and he also holds it easily. bought it very generously, and touched his shriveled purse again, Luo Yan wondered if he had also become the legendary loser.

Since he sent some silver to Luzhou, he doesn't have much left. The life of the next month, but all counting on the distribution of the imperial court.

In fact, it doesn't seem to be much, well, it should be said that Luo Yanguan is too young and earns not much salary. Lu rice, manpower, and vocational fields, this is basically the composition of all the salaries of the officials of the secretary province, as the school secretary from the nine products, these add up to nearly 2,000 Wen per month, well, almost two taels of silver.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, after such a calculation, Luo Yan feels that he can't survive if he doesn't save money and work.

However, Luo Yan is also purely scared of himself, and when Zhenguan was at its peak, he spent five cents a bucket of rice. Now that the country has just been founded, the situation in various places is unstable, but the price of grain has not soared to the point of sixty or seventy wen a dou. What's more, when Luo Yan was working normally, lunch was provided by the imperial court, so it was just to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Luo Yan's money was used by two or three dogs.

The reason why Luo Yan feels that he has to be frugal is mainly because he has spent too much money this month. Comparing these two, he himself felt that he couldn't hold on.

When the things were bought, it was just a momentary complaint, looking at the sky, and it was almost time for dinner, Luo Yan was also ready to go back to Lufu.

At this time, the old man Lu Deming had just returned from Guozi School, but fortunately, Lu Fu knew early in the morning that a guest had moved in today, so he naturally made more for dinner, saving Luo Yan the embarrassment of having no food to eat.

Because men and women sit at different tables and eat different utensils, even if it is the old master and wife of Lu Mansion in the Lu Mansion, but with the addition of subordinates, this rule naturally has to be observed. However, in this era, there was a lack of materials, and the elderly ate lightly, so there was no big fish and meat from the rich and rich. On the contrary, this cabbage radish is very popular, and there are shadows of both of them in the three dishes on the table.

After dinner, Old Master Lu naturally informed his relatives to get ready, so that Luo Yan could visit.

After receiving the reply from the subordinates, Mrs. Lu waited in a reception room in the backyard, and Mrs. Lu took Luo Yan over.

This Luo Yan is the first time he has come to the backyard of the Lu Mansion. His residence was arranged in a separate courtyard, far away from the backyard where Lu Fuzi lived, but quite close to Lu Fuzi's study, presumably deliberately arranged in this way, so that Luo Yan could ask Lu Fuzi for advice at any time.

Although it is getting late, the sun has not yet reached the western mountains. At this time, the cool breeze was blowing, and the weather was not hot, but the willows in the backyard fluttered in the wind, making the whole backyard quiet and moving.

Xu is old man has bad eyes, and at this time he has already turned on the lamp in the reception room. When Luo Yan followed Lu Fuzi over, he also heard an old man and a young man talking inside, and after hearing the footsteps, the sound stopped abruptly. I think it's because I hear that the guests are coming, so it's not easy to make a noise at will. Although it is said that the Tang Dynasty did not have a very large restriction on women's etiquette, these are the etiquette that women must uphold when dealing with others, and families like Lu Fuzi naturally will not put these aside casually.

Luo Yan followed Lu Fuzi in, and the two of them walked over to greet Lu Fuzi.

Old Master Lu introduced the old lady to Luo Yan: "This is your master's wife." ”

When Luo Yan saw the main master, he was busy kneeling down and saluting. This is the first time you meet, especially Shi Niang, you have to bow down like ordinary people, and you must not be cleaned up by Lu Deming in the future.

After bowing, the old lady also helped Luo Yan up, and then sat down with the old master Lu. After a few people sat down, Master Lu's eyes widened, and he shouted at the little girl beside the old lady: "The little girl is so rude." It's just a matter of seeing people casually, but now I don't salute when I see my uncle. ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said in a playful voice: "Ah Weng is here to scare Xiao Ying'er again, it seems that he is a little older than me, and he wants me to call him uncle." Mother, you come to judge the theory, is this considered a strong man? A string of voices as crisp as a yellow oriole spat out, and shook the old lady's arm gently.

Luo Yan, who has been single for many years, has long been conquered by this girl's coquettishness and cuteness, and just stared at the girl blankly.

However, Old Master Lu seemed to be accustomed to the girl's posture, and scolded with a smile: "You should be glad that I have accepted a disciple who is older than you." If you don't obey again, I'll find a boy of four or five years old to be your uncle another day. If you are still disobedient, the next time your grandfather goes back to Chang'an to report on his work, just let him take you back. ”

It seemed that Old Master Lu's words pinched the girl's handle, and the girl just made a grimace at Old Master Lu, and then never spoke again, and came to Mrs. Lu's side one by one.

Lu Deming frightened the girl and explained to Luo Yan with a smile: "This is your senior brother's daughter-in-law, called Ying'er." I was afraid that the two of us would be too bored in Chang'an, so I sent them over to accompany the two of us. was also arrogant and ruined by me, so I lost a few points of courtesy. ”

In front of this ghost girl, Luo Yan didn't dare to offend her too much. replied immediately: "Where, the Ying'er girl is innocent, but cute and tight." ”

Although there was blame on his lips, but when he heard Luo Yan's praise at this time, Old Master Lu was still very happy. Regardless of it, the smile quickly collapsed in the little girl's sentence "Count you as acquaintances". This doesn't give you face at all, Lu Fuzi's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he shouted: "Little girl, if you don't give your uncle a salute today, Ming'er will copy the "Book of Rites" by herself." ”

Not to mention this little girl, even Luo Yan was frightened. Obediently, it will take several days to copy the "Book of Rites" and say it, just because of the salute to yourself.

The form is stronger than people, and the little girl had to obediently salute Luo Yan under the persuasion of the old lady, but there was still a trace of resentment on her face.

On the one hand, Luo Yan was frightened by Lu Fuzi's seriousness, and on the other hand, he was also frightened by the little girl's expression when she looked at her. This is completely unjustified, Luo Yan has an urge to cry.

Fortunately, at this time, the Luo Yan people also recognized it, and it was time to offer gifts. Just in time, the ice can be broken at this time.

Standing up and taking out the pieces and characters he bought, Luo Yan said softly: "I don't know my wife's preferences, the kid took it upon himself to make a half-gift for his wife, and asked his wife to accept it with a smile." ”

The cabbage handle was packed in a small box, but Luo Yan's words were only wrapped in paper because they were not framed. The box was inconvenient to open at this time, but Lu Fuzi was curious when he saw the calligraphy and painting, and he didn't say anything, and pulled the paper roll away.

Seeing the hundreds of blessing characters with different fonts on the top, Lu Fuzi also admired: "Well, although some words have not yet been detached from craftsmanship, but to be able to write out a hundred of these blessing characters, presumably the calligraphy skills are also good." Only, where did this come from, and why is it not framed? ”

When Luo Yan saw Lu Fuzi asking, he also told the truth: "Teacher Rongyu, this painting was written by a student. Just because they couldn't find a suitable gift for half a day, the student wrote a pair by himself, but it took time to frame it, and this painting also attracted some people to scramble, so the student had to take it directly. ”

Lu Deming was even more surprised when he heard that it was written by Luo Yan himself, Luo Yan's words, counting the four times he had seen it this time, every time he could feel that Luo Yan had improved. What does this mean? Luo Yan's qualifications are still quite good. Come to think of it, when I lecture on the scriptures in the future, I can make an appropriate arrangement that is more compact.

Luo Yan didn't know that he had pitted himself, and he was relieved to see that Master Lu was satisfied.

Looking back at Mrs. Lu, she couldn't put it down with the cabbage handle. Although this is not as good as the jade cabbage produced by the braided dynasty in later generations, the best green jade carved things, although the carver is not a famous master, but it is definitely not bad, so it can be completely satisfied with Mrs. Lu.

It's Ying'er's little girl, looking at the handle in her grandmother's hand, her eyes are straight.

It's not that she lacks this kind of thing, but on the one hand, the cabbage is really good, and on the other hand, there are four people present, one is a gift, and she didn't get a gift for the remaining three. Envy, human nature.

Seeing the little girl's greedy look, Luo Yan thought for a while, took out the lotus pendant in his arms, handed it to the little girl and said, "When we meet for the first time, this pendant should be regarded as a meeting gift for Miss Ying'er." Save yourself from saying that my little uncle is stingy. ”

As he spoke, Luo Yan himself smiled. This is a little girl as an uncle, how can it feel so strange.

Touching the pendant in her hand, the little girl looked very satisfied, and then whispered: "Although you gave a gift, you want me to call you Uncle Xiao, you want to be beautiful." ”

Tomorrow's four watches, see you or leave.
