Chapter 5 Tribute Xue Tao Note

"Begonia." Su Shi sent cold noodles over, "Have you washed it?" ”

Lian Baitang got up and opened the door, smelled the salty fragrance, his appetite was great, he took the tray and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

Su Shi smiled and watched him eat noodles, and his smile became lighter and lighter: "Bai Tang, I have wronged you!" "It's obviously a girl's family, but for so many years, she can only show people in men's clothes, and she has been dressed for 16 years, and even her family affairs have been dragged down!

Bai Tang smiled, the original owner was in Qingfeng Pond, aggrieved? It's right to be full of grievances. But he could only comfort Su: "My mother is wronged." Seeing that Su's eyes were about to flush again, he hurriedly diverted the topic: "How is Songzhuzhai's business recently?" ”

Su Shi's face collapsed instantly: "It's not like that, half-dead!" ”

Songzhuzhai is one of the best bookstores in Lian Shaoda's business. She had a hard fight with Lian Shaoda and Lishi. She broke the axe and sank the boat, and bluntly said that if Lian Shaoda did not agree, she would die and the net would be broken. No one wants to please anyone!

Lian Shaoda had no choice but to give it to her, and the name of the owner of the shop was Lian Baitang.

The study sells nothing more than the four treasures of the study and all kinds of books. Originally, there was a book printing shop of the Lian family, and the books sold directly in the study, almost without a net profit. But she has long been unable to get such cheap books to sell from Lian Shaoda, so she has to buy them elsewhere, and she always encounters all kinds of difficulties.

Don't think about it, it must be to practice Shaoda's hands and feet.

"It's not a way to go on like this." Lian Baitang ate all the noodles and ingredients, wiped his mouth and said, "We have to find a way." ”

Su Shi looked at him in surprise: "What can you do?" ”

Lian Baitang handed his mother a piece of paper: "It is the object I need, be sure to help me buy all of it." ”

Su Shi looked at the list and said in surprise: "A full set of carpenter's tools, catalpa wood, pear wood, pigments-" Her eyes widened, "Bai Tang, do you want to do engraving business too?!" ”

Lian Baitang shook his head: "Lian Shaoda didn't teach me anything. I can't do engraving printing. ”

Lian Shaoda knew that his eldest son was a fake daughter and inherited the family rules, so naturally he wouldn't teach him anything. He spent all his thoughts on his real son, Lian Bai Jin from the He family. Lian Bai Jin was born, and the ecstatic Lian Shaoda took him to the workshop to inspect, and when Bai Jin was five years old, the carving knife was already as secure as a pen.

"And what do you want these things for?"

Bai Tang smiled gently: "You will understand then." ”

Su Shi frowned and said, "These things cost a lot of silver. Especially the pigmentsβ€”"

Thousands of years of paintings have been handed down to this day and still maintain their vivid colors as yesterday, one by paper, and the other by paint! In ancient times, pigments were divided into two types: mineral and vegetable. Cinnabar, ochre, limestone, stone green and even gold and silver are all extracted from stone ore, and the price is quite expensive.

"You don't have to worry about the silver." Lian Baitang sold Xuantie, and three days later, he had silver by his side. "I'll get the rest of the stuff together first."

Seeing that he was confident, Su Shi had no choice but to respond: "Understood." ”

Within a few days, Su Shi really bought a set of carpenter's tools and a few pieces of wood. When she came back, she couldn't hide the happy smile on her face, and when Bai Lan saw it, she said strangely: "Mother, what good thing happened to you so happy?" ”

It turned out that although He Miaolian's matter seemed to be over a while ago, it actually continued to ferment. The gossip neighbors were not excited, and after returning home, they continued to tell the men in the family about the events of the day, and within a few days, He Miaolian, the daughter of the criminal officer who was rescued by Lian Shaoda's cheating wife, how the two hooked up and framed the original partner, forced the original partner to leave, and finally connived at He Miaolian to come to the door to provoke and bully the Su family, and the matter immediately spread a lottery!

In the past, colleagues who didn't know the truth of the matter immediately had an opinion on the second room of the Lian family: What a thing! It hurt them to really think that it was Su Shi's fault, and they made all kinds of difficulties in business, but it turned out that they were deceived by Lian Shaoda and that slut!

Therefore, when Su Shi came to buy books again, he immediately felt the warmth of spring. It even flattered her a little.

At the same time, Lian Shaoda's life was not easy. He blamed He in his heart: Su's matter has been solved, and she still came to the door to find a! It's good now, the stinky girl who practiced Baitang picked up all the old things! When he went out recently, he was embarrassed to greet acquaintances, and even a few friends who were usually good looked at him a little strangely.

What's more, he was summoned to the old mansion by his brother and reprimanded him fiercely.

"I advised you to keep your eyes open, then He Miaolian is not a good thing! You're bent on it! Lian Shaorong is most unaccustomed to seeing a man like the second brother who is fascinated by women, "You tell her, if you dare to smear our Lian family, I will expel your whole family from the clan!" ”

Lian Shaoda was most afraid of this stern big brother in his life, and he was so frightened for a while that he promised repeatedly: "No, no more!" I'll teach her a good lesson when I go back! ”

He knew that he was at a loss, and carefully curryed favor with him for a few days before his husband's heart was calm. But the virtuous name she had easily accumulated was also defeated in this battle. All social interactions are either sneered at or simply turned away! Hate her so much that her eyes are red every day, and she is resentful!

The only thing that comforts her is that her son Lian Bai Jin is wholeheartedly towards herself. Hearing that she had been wronged by the Su family, Bai Jin comforted her with kind words.

"Mother Mo is angry. You are now the wife of the Lian family, and the Su family is just jealous and unwilling to fail to spread rumors to slander you. I'll help you get this breath back! ”

Although Lian Bai Jin is young, his face is quite tough, which is very similar to Lian Shaoda. After comforting He, he stayed in the study for half an hour, called his little servant, and whispered a few words. The little guy immediately took the order and left.

A sneer slid across Bai Jin's face: When the world humiliates He, it humiliates him! My mother is an ungrateful vixen, what good reputation can he get? Su Shi, Lian Baitang, since you lost to my mother in the battle of the back house, don't try to turn over again!

Three days later.

Su Shi returned to his shop in high spirits and shouted repeatedly: "Master Quan! Master Quan! ”

The shopkeeper of Songzhu Zhai came out when he heard the sound, and saw his wife holding a stack of beautifully packaged small paper bags, and said strangely: "Madam, what kind of goods have you entered?" ”

Su Shi couldn't hide the smile on his face, and lowered his voice and said, "Tribute Xue Taojian!" ”

Master Quan's eyes widened in surprise: "Tribute?!" That's a rarity! Where did you get that?! ”

"That's a coincidence!" Su got the money from Lian Baitang to sell Xuantie and went to the paint shop to buy paint. I don't want to run into a person selling all kinds of paper at a stall on the corner. She caught a glimpse of the pile of papers, which were very beautiful and chic, bright in crimson and soft in apricot red, all cut into small rectangles. When she saw it, she blurted out: "Xue Taojian? ”

The young man who sold paper smiled honestly: "Madame, good eyes!" It's Xue Taojian! It's still a first-class tribute, Xue Tao's note! ”

Su's heart was beating wildly! His eyes widened, and his eyes were fixed on the poems.

Xue Tao, that is the first legendary female poet in the past!

Born in a famous family, he was reduced to happiness. In the Tang Dynasty, where talented poets are like stars in the sky, Xue Tao's talent is still outstanding and shining.

On the occasion of her double decade, she was demoted because she angered the powerful and experienced a lot of hardship. After returning, she suddenly sobered up from the life of the stars holding the moon and being drunk with gold, and took the initiative to break away from the joy and live in seclusion in Huanhuaxi, Chengdu.

In the first year, she met the young and handsome and untalented Yuan Zhen. That's right, it was the first scumbag in the Tang Dynasty who abandoned Cui Yingying in the future, and even after Yingying got married, he had to pick up the feelings of other couples!

But it was this sister-brother love that was destined to end in tragedy that made Xue Tao's note come out!

When a pair of talented and beautiful people are in love, they naturally want to write poems to reward each other, right?

Xue Tao likes to write short poems, so she feels that the existing poems are too long, which is wasteful and unsightly, so under the urging of love, she personally designed the size of the poems, selected flower juice dyes to adjust the color, and improved the dyeing scheme. She loves red, and her poems are mainly crimson, pink, and apricot red, supplemented by cyan, a total of ten colors, known as "ten kinds of change notes". Therefore, although the flower paper has existed since ancient times, since her, it has changed from bloom to refinement.

After Xue Tao's note was published, it became famous for a while, and literati and writers sighed and sought after it. In particular, Xue Tao's note from the origin of Huanhuaxi is the most expensive. During the Song Dynasty, Xue Tao's notes in Huanhuaxi were refined no more than 100 pieces a year, which were exclusively used by the emperor's house. Song Fu Yuan extinguished, those treasured poems and notes hidden in the palace, I don't know if they were destroyed in the war, or went to his house?

"Don't hide it from Madame. This batch of Xue Tao's notes was scattered after a certain adult raided his house. Emperor Huizong's imperial tribute paper! The man who sold the paper said in a low voice, "I'm not lucky, so I'll get these!"

The temper of the current emperor is also uncertain. From time to time, I heard the news that important officials of the DPRK and the central government were sent to prison for questioning. Su Shi didn't suspect it, but these poems are too beautiful! Hurriedly asked: "How do you sell this paper?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Madame knows its value, right?" I don't pay a high price, ten taels each. ”

Su Shi has been in the Lian family for so many years, and he still has some vision. gritted her teeth, took out the silver that Bai Tang gave her and bought back all the Xue Tao notes in the man's hands.
