Qiao Siwan looked at it coldly, but a close smile bloomed on her face first, and said, "Sister Rou is here too." Kerr, she continues to look forward to your coming! Last time I paused in the Hou Mansion. I didn't have time to say a few words, but this time we're going to have a good chat! ”

"What did Wan'er mm say? You said a lot last time! Lin Yuanrou covered her mouth and smiled, with an elegant posture.

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly, glanced at Lin Yuanxin, and frowned when she saw Lin Yuanxin. He patted her hand. Said: "Two sisters, don't stand and talk, let's go and sit down over there first." Lin Yuanxin was naturally next to Qiao Siwan, and Qiao Ke saw Lin Yuanrou over there. Immediately changed his depressed demeanor, grinned, took her hand and sat down, and talked in a low voice.

The friends laughed and sat down, and the ladies said that they were laughing and laughing. In fact, I couldn't help but turn my eyes on the old lady of the Hou Mansion and her two daughters-in-law. Lin Wenlong, the Marquis of Zhenguo, is the biological son of Lao Taijun. It's a pity that his temper is too gentle, and his body is not very good. Lin Wenyuan, the secretary of the military department over there, is high-profile and strong, and has a good way out, but he happens to be a concubine. Qiao Li successively married the two daughters of the Marquis of Zhenguo's mansion, and gave birth to two young ladies, Qiao Siwan and Qiao Ke, which is the most complicated, and then look at the older generation here playing Tai Chi with a smile. The juniors over there are also affectionate and enthusiastic. So that others can't see the fierce confrontation between the two camps. I just think that the current terrain is really indescribable.

As he spoke, Joco stood up. Shi Li said: "Grandmother." The granddaughter has a gift for you. Everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

Li smiled slightly and said, "Oh? Then take it out. ”

"Yes." Qiao Ke glanced at Qiao Siwan. Walked forward and obtained a big red mahogany box with gold inlaid with longevity in the hands of the maid, and when he spoke in public, everyone looked at it, but it was a natural white jade Guanyin, this Guanyin eyebrows like the moon, straight nose and small nose, calm and peaceful, and fluent clothes. Hold a satisfying baby. Sit on top of a lotus flower. The view is cautious and modern, vivid and realistic. The temperament is even more severe and extraordinary. With a sincere smile on his face, Qiao Ke said, "Grandmother, this is your granddaughter's birthday." The natural white jade Guanyin invited from Yunzhou with a lot of money. I wish you a blessed East China Sea. Longevity. ”

Li only nodded with a smile and motioned to Mother Zhang, who was nearby, to accept it, but Jiang Shi, the wife of the Shangshu of the Ping Gong Department on the side, stood up now. I walked over and took a look. With praise on his face. smiled: "The old lady is really blessed. This jade Guanyin has a pure texture and a warm jade color. The toning is abundant. Not to mention the elegant and chic model, it is just such a profound tempering, powerful carving, and skillful knife skills. It is a precious quality in the mortal world, but I am afraid that it is difficult to find a thousand gold! ”

When everyone looked at the jade Guanyin, they only felt that it was really as Jiang said. They all nodded in agreement. It is said that the old lady is blessed to have such a filial granddaughter.

Qiao Ke glanced at Qiao Siwan and said with a smile: "Today is a good day for grandmother." I don't know what kind of birthday gift my sister has prepared? She had already learned from her mother that Qiao Siwan's birthday gift was just a handwritten birthday letter, and such a gift had three points of affection. It's too stingy, how can it be taken out to provide these noble ladies to browse. I'm afraid that others will laugh off their big teeth. Coaxed this eldest lady of the Qiao family to be angry. Therefore, Yu Meiniang hired a famous craftsman for her. It is also painstaking to ask for natural white jade, which is carefully carved according to Li's porridge. The next day, everyone in the capital will know how filial they are, and this time they will not suppress Qiao Siwan!

Qiao Siwan smiled slightly. "My gift is just a little affection. It can't be seen in the same amount as the white jade Guanyin of mm. ”

Joe Ke said. The corners of his mouth showed sneering. The smile on his face became more and more complacent. It is impossible to say: "My sister is too modest. Presumably your gift must be something special. I don't know if I can take a look at it? ”

Lin Yuanrou said with a smile on the side: "That's right, I heard that Wan'er mm is extraordinary, I don't know how surprising the gift is." Why don't you take it out and let your friends browse it? ”

Lin Yuanxin has never been a porridge and arrogant Qiao Ke, when she heard this, she inevitably frowned at Lin Yuanrou, she was afraid that Qiao Siwan would be embarrassed, and just wanted to say a few words for her. Qiao Siwan pressed her hand and lowered her eyes to hide the brilliance in her eyes. Said lightly: "mm." My gift has long been given to my grandmother. Is this going to be taken out? Are you afraid of being embarrassed? Joco thought so. He raised his voice and said, "Then I'll ask my grandmother to take it out," and finished speaking. She immediately ran in front of Lee. "Grandmother." My sister said that she had already given it to you, and I begged her to show it to my friends, but she refused. Ke'er really wants to take a look! ”

Li glanced at Qiao Ke. There was three points of ridicule in his eyes, but he said with a faint smile on his face: "Since Ke'er wants to see it." Mother Zhang, go and bring up the eldest lady's birthday gift stick. ”

Qiao Ke glanced at Qiao Siwan complacently. Silk Miao looked at her and couldn't lift her up in front of everyone.

Zhang's mother said goodbye in response, and after a while, she reversed, holding a delicate ancient sandalwood box engraved with hollow and engraved in her hand, and she was about to open the box, but Li shook her hand. "Take it." ”

Everyone's eyes temporarily showed a look of curiosity.

The smile on Li's face was inevitably smug, and he said, "It's not that I'm boasting, this gift is made by Wan'er herself." There will be no second piece in all the gates. "Finished. She opened the box with her own hands. I pulled out the scroll inside. Slowly speaking in front of everyone's eyes

The scroll is more than a meter long. Slowly unfold in the process. The eyes of the crowd who had taken it lightly at first widened. I saw that on the picture scroll was a huge longevity character. The word rest stroke is the most compact, the pen is strong, and it is natural, flawless, perfect!

This character is solemn, simple and mellow, hooked like a dew, dotted like a peach. It means longevity.

Precious indeed! Mrs. Shen of Zhenguo said with a smile.

The crowd nodded. It means that this font has never been seen before. The shape is regular script, but it is different from the regular script, which is neither regular nor subordinate nor cursive. But it is also like the charm of Kai, like subordination, like line, like grass. It's really not interesting. Qiao Ke laughed in his heart, but the most disappointing look in his mouth: "Oops." It's just a picture! "Finished. As if he had spontaneously made a mistake, he covered his mouth and looked at Qiao Siwan with unbeautiful intentions. Said: "Sister." Sorry. This longevity character is really the best written. "It's just a pity. Compare it with the white jade Guanyin that costs a lot of money. It pales in comparison.

Although others also spoke about the awards, they also thought the same thing in their hearts, and it was a word. It was not made by a famous teacher. is how unusually unearthly it is written, and it can't compare to the hard-to-find white jade Guanyin.

Li shook his head with a smile and said, "Friends, take a closer look at this painting." ”

Ning Taijun stared. After a while, he was also surprised: "This is ——! Seeing that her mother-in-law was surprised, Shen immediately opened her eyes and took a closer look, but this time she exclaimed: "This is not a word." That's a hundred words! ”

It is inevitable that everyone will stand up when they are making noise. Go up and look at the painting. I saw that from a distance, this picture is indeed a huge longevity character. It is more amazing that in this word, a hundred small longevity fonts are different, each has its own strengths, none of them are the same, Kai, Li, seal, line, grass and so on abound.

"Ladies and gentlemen. It's not a longevity word. This is a picture of longevity. "It's really unprecedented in Li's eyes

With a real pride. He replied to everyone with a smile.

Lin Yuanxin also stood up and stepped forward to watch. Inevitably, he exclaimed: "Wan'er mm is so smart, these 100 small longevity characters are also remarked with gold on the age of the font, you see, this is Shang Dingwen, Zhou Dingwen, Han Dingwen." Fin Li, Yan Shu, Minnan Taishu. ”。 There are also Yi Seal, Gu Li, Gu Dou Jinwen, Fei Baishu. ”

The Great Calendar has always emphasized the rule of culture, not to mention men, even women are mostly literate and literate, and there are many people who are full of poetry and books and quite talented among the ladies here. The Shen family, the wife of the Marquis of Special Town, was born in a prestigious family and was the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. He has a lot of experience in poetry and songs, pen and ink. Now that I see this painting, I am seriously amazed. Love. Explained to everyone: "Yes, look at this painting from a distance, it looks like a longevity character." Look closely at the font of each small longevity character is different. There are not only the king's book, Huaishu, Yushu, Xiangshu, Xiaowangshu and the book of the saint left by the famous calligraphers for thousands of years. Sure enough, there are other words such as the shape of the Yuan material text x Xingchen text, fire text, village text, dragon text, Feng text, Jubao text, etc., which is serious and magnificent. ”

Many people listened to it for a moment, but they just felt dazed and ignorant. Although Mrs. Shi is also a little familiar with literature and ink. But these are not eye-catching. Inevitably, he asked on behalf of the others: "I have heard of the others." But I've never heard of Jubaowen!? ”

Shen's hand pointed to a small longevity character in the bottom corner of Xishuofang, and said, "Mrs. Liao, please look, this one is, you look at the strokes, is it like coral, ivory, rhino horn, pearl, bear paw, and jade gui?" This is Jubaowen. ”

Everyone watched this painting for a long time, and the experts who understood it were amazed. Amazed, people who don't understand it only think it's vivid, colorful, and the most funny, and when they look at Qiao Siwan again. I couldn't help but bring three points of surprise to my face.

Shen glanced at Jiang and Qiao Siwan, who had embarrassed expressions, and said with a smile: "Wan'er has such a mentality, in fact, she can't find a second one in the whole city." ”

Qiao Siwan smiled, but there was no complacency on her face. She said slowly: "The eldest aunt has praised it, I rule the universe with filial piety, and now the saint has personally painted a picture of the Antarctic fairy Weng for the queen mother." The granddaughter thought that His Majesty's move had been confirmed. No matter how good the gift of the universe is, it can be bought. Only a piece of filial piety is irreplaceable, so I started it myself, regretting that Wan'er was raised in the deep boudoir, her vision was like a bean, and her insight was meager, thanks to Siyuan who ran all over the capital, and asked for famous ancient books everywhere, and it took months to get together a hundred fonts for me, so that I could give gifts to my grandmother before the birthday banquet. ”
