Feng Shui takes turns, and the arrogant housekeeper of the Li Mansion also has a moment of misfortune. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He whispered and respectfully asked Lao Jia to cross the threshold of the Li Mansion. The old servant with his bag glanced at him disdainfully, and swaggered through the vermilion gate.

There was a funny scene in the Li Mansion, and Steward Liu, who had always been majestic, would actually bend down to lead the way for a subordinate in a low voice, or walk in the direction of the dining room of the Li Mansion.

The servants were all speculating about who the unremarkable old servant was.

Li Lanting had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

The old servant Jia sat down in one fell swoop, originally the master and servant could not sit at the same table, but Lao Jia had a special identity, and he was a benefactor in Li Lanting's mouth, so naturally he couldn't treat it normally, Chen Zhongqing didn't pay much attention to the order of respect and inferiority, and Lao Jia could do whatever he liked.

After the three of them sat down, they began to serve the dishes in turn.

West Lake vinegar fish, Jinhua ham, mandarin fish soup, glutinous rice cake.

The table of the Eight Immortals is full of exquisiteness and fragrance. The people of Hangzhou give full play to the lightness of the cuisine, but they still have good color and taste, which makes people have an appetite. Chen Zhongqing came by boat and spent a difficult time on the waterway. Even if he is not picky, he can't get used to the earthy river fresh.

Lao Jia has a good appetite as always, and picks up the chopsticks and sends the vegetables to his mouth.

Li Lanting called the maid over and whispered a few words, but the maid nodded and retreated. Then he turned around and opened the conversation. Reveal the previous childhood past to Chen Zhongqing, "When I was young and ignorant, the Li family still lived in the compound of the deep house in Kaifeng, once I went out with your father and accidentally fell into the water Bianliang River, which frightened Brother An, fortunately, Uncle Jia saved me from knowing the water, otherwise my life would be there." ”

Li Lanting talked about his childhood past, full of emotion, and shook his head with a chuckle casually, "After that, the family moved to Hangzhou, and this trip was more than ten years, although there were correspondence during the period, but the prosperous style of Bianliang and the lantern night market in childhood gradually blurred, only your father's friendship and Uncle Jia's kindness, uncle is unforgettable." ”

"I forgot about this if Master Li didn't say it."

Lao Jia grinned and cracked his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

Li Lanting picked up the wine glass and raised the glass towards Lao Jia, "This cup is the life-saving grace of the third uncle back then." ”

Lao Jia raised his glass with a big grin, scratched his cheeks, and barely squeezed out a crepe sentence, "What's inside?" I did it, you feel free. ”

Chen Zhongqing glared at Lao Jia, who suddenly shriveled down like a frosted eggplant, and sat on the stool to eat in a proper manner.

Chen Zhongqing put down his chopsticks, guided the topic in the direction he wanted to say, and said politely, "Uncle Lanting doesn't have to care too much, this time I came here because my father had some changes in Bianliang, otherwise I wouldn't have caused trouble to my uncle." ”

Li Lanting waved his hand and said indifferently, "Eh, what's the trouble, I've already read the letter just now." Bianliang's coup plot has spread in Hangzhou City in the first half of the month, although I don't know what the situation is, but as an official in the court, accompanied by a tiger like a tiger, your father also has careful consideration. The city of Hangzhou has not yet been swept up by the follow-up waves of this political conspiracy in Bianliang, you can rest assured to settle down here, and wait until the rumors have passed, and then go back to Bianliang. ”

He likes Chen Zhongqing's nephew very much, talented but introverted and low-key, he has seen many Bianliang rich children of the gentleman and arrogance, but he only appreciates this Tibetan Feng.

However, Chen Zhongqing politely rejected the other party's proposal, "I don't live in my uncle's house, and I want to find another house, the price of silver is easy to say, I don't know if my uncle knows where there is a suitable house to sell?" ”

Chen Zhongqing's answer surprised Li Lanting, and the other party just wanted to ask, he added, "This conspiracy coup d'Γ©tat my father also made a dangerous move, saving the lives of the Chen family and others, but it left some tricky messes to deal with." No one dares to guarantee that the eunuchs will not spare no effort to clear up the remnants. I live in my uncle's house, and in the future, our family will really have three longs and two shortcomings, and I am afraid that my uncle will be involved. ”

Chen Zhongqing had two lives on his back, and although the scene had been carefully arranged by him, he didn't dare to ensure that there would be a master who would see through the set game. His idea is to let Wang Changan sit on the charge of being a traitor, but it leaves the biggest loophole - the motives of the perpetrators are inconsistent, which is also the only flaw in the bureau, he has cleaned up all the clues, as long as the big man in Bianliang does not specialize in the small details, the Chen family can get through the risk period without incident.

Li Lanting pondered for a moment, considering the risk of Chen Zhongqing's proposal, and finally he thought of a plan to get the best of both worlds, and said, "This way, after eating, I will ask Steward Liu to take you to the idle mansion of the Li Mansion, which was originally intended to be used as a sub-house, and it will not be useful for the time being, so you can just move in." The house is fully furnished and titheized, and you can sit in with it with a little decoration. ”

Chen Zhongqing was overjoyed, this was definitely the best arrangement, and hurriedly thanked his uncle for his kindness, "That's the best." ”

While the three of them were talking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Chen Zhongqing, with a soft voice unique to Jiangnan women.

"Dad, what are you looking for?"

Chen Zhongqing turned his head, and the two of them just looked at each other. A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Bo's eyes, and the woman stepped forward generously and blessed Chen Zhongqing, showing everyone's gentle and virtuous lady.

"This is Chen Zhongqing, the son of his father's old friend. This is the uncle's daughter, like smoke. ”

"Ruyan has seen Chen Gongzi."

Chen Zhongqing thanked him, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, just right, "Zhongqing still has to thank Miss Li for her words. ”

Li Lanting raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Do you have a story from before? ”

Li Ruyan covered her mouth lightly and said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just a gesture, why should Chen Gongzi take it to heart." Daddy, if there is something wrong with the smoke, I hope to retire first. ”

She didn't have much feelings for Chen Zhongqing, the guests who came from Bianliang were like carp crossing the river, and there were many talented people, and an ordinary scholar couldn't get into the eyes of the law.

Li Lanting doted on his daughter very much, and he didn't force him to stay, so he said, "You have to go beforehand, today I also want you to meet the son of my father's old friend." ”

Chen Zhongqing smiled, unimpressed.

Li Ruyan hurriedly took a look and retreated, while Li Lanting sat down and continued to discuss the next plan with Chen Zhongqing. He said that he would give Chen Zhongqing a hundred taels of silver tattoos to spend the past few months temporarily. Li Lanting was also unsure whether Chen Zhongqing had any "bad habits" of spending a lot of money on rich children, so he tried it with a hundred taels of silver.

However, to his surprise, Chen Zhongqing thanked Li Lanting for his kindness and said that an idle house was enough. After eating, he got up and said goodbye to the Li Mansion, this time the housekeeper also had the responsibility to play the role of a guide, and under the attitude of Lao Jia Yi's command, Chen Zhongqing was smoothly sent to the idle house. After sending Chen Zhongqing away, Li Lanting turned around and went to the study, he was going to frame the beautiful picture of Hangzhou, so that he could show off to someone in a few days.

Li Ruyan stood in front of the long case, lowered his head and stared intently at the paintings placed on it, the pavilions and pavilions depicted on it, the charm of the landscape and people, especially the poem of the Wanghai tide in the title, which all-encompassing the artistic conception in the painting and completely encompassing it.

Peerless good words.

Li Ruyan took the autumn and made a few strokes on another piece of rice paper, but found that it was not right to put the pen down.

She has never seen this kind of calligraphy that cuts gold and jade, and she has no way to start.

Li Ruyan heard a rustling sound behind her, she turned around and saw her father standing behind her, quietly staring at her copying fonts.

"Thin and crisp, the side is like a bamboo, this hand is a rare good word."

Li Ruyan held the wolf hair in his right hand, pointed to the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou on the table, and said to his father behind him, "Daddy's poetry and painting skills are increasing day by day, this "Wanghai Tide" seems to have the style of poetry, especially the poetic smoke willow painting bridge, peaks and green curtains, clouds and trees around the embankment, angry waves rolling frost and snow. I copied it and took it back to Mr. Zhang Xun for comment. I want to know if the second master of Hangzhou poetry can write the same imposing words. ”

Li Lanting smiled, he knew that Li Ruyan was deliberately making things difficult for his friend, and said with a smile, "Forget it, your father and I can't write this kind of words and sentences that require extraordinary talent, and when the time comes, Brother Zhang Xun will come back to me to learn from me." ”

"The author of this poem Wanghaichao was written by Chen Gongzi you just saw."

The pen that had been sketched on the paper came to an abrupt halt, and she looked back with a surprised expression. What came to mind was that bland expression, although there was a kind of talent in his body that was difficult to hide, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't connect with the talented Yato no talent.

Li Ruyan bit her lips lightly, still couldn't believe what her father said, frowned Rudai's eyebrows, and asked in disbelief, "Father said that this Wanghai tide came from the handwriting of that Chen Gongzi?" ”

Li Lanting walked to the long case, rolled up the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou that had been dried and inked, carefully stuffed it into the drawer, and carefully pressed it with a piece of sandalwood.

"Yes, I show an amazing talent with a poem at my fingertips, I don't know what kind of realm this kid can go if he focuses on articles and poems. Back then, Brother An once lamented that his second son was dull and unteachable, but now it seems that Chen Zhongqing is a piece of rotten wood, and it is clearly a unicorn. ”

Li Ruyan clenched the pine pen in his hand and took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

With a quiet appearance, but with a competitive personality, she once thought of being the first woman in Hangzhou, and even studied under her father's friend, Hongru Zhang Xun. Before she could make a move when the famous teacher showed the way, she felt that she had lost to an unknown scholar, and she felt uncomfortable.

"But why have you never heard of this man's talent and fame? Bianliang Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, but this kind of person always has the prestige to get ahead, if it is really a person who can write this peaceful atmosphere and sober and refined, he should have already emerged and become famous. ”

Li Lanting did not comfort her daughter with a trace of distress, but gloated and said, "There is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the world, and there are many things you have to learn like smoke." Chen Zhongqing, this kid is a piece of jade, you have to carve carefully to discover the introverted talent, look, the next literati in Hangzhou City, I'm afraid that the status of the poetry world is not guaranteed. ”
