Chapter Twenty-Eight: God's Compensation
Qing Dai knew that her grandmother had something to say, and eighty percent of it involved her dead mother and cheap father, so her grandmother would show such a sad and melancholy look on her face, but she was not angry, thinking that the reason for this must be inseparable from the elders.
The atmosphere in the room was a little oppressive for a while, and no one knew what to say. The daughter-in-law of the old man Wang San's family, who came to visit Xuan's side, has always been clever, and when she saw that it was wrong, she smiled first and came out to play a round, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Our brother Yang also said that he is close now, thanks to the old lady of the family. Old lady, you and your sister-in-law should have a few more glasses of wine when you and your sister-in-law eat and drink. ”
"That's nature." Old Madam Wang turned her head and ordered Xuan's to take out the pear blossom brew that had been buried in the ground last year, and then grabbed Old Madam Shangguan's hand with a smile, "We haven't been together for many years, you will definitely have a few more drinks later." ”
The daughters-in-law next to them also helped, and then gave Qingdai gifts one by one, and rubbed some oil on someone's bun face by the way. There was a burst of amusement and jokes, and everyone left the unpleasant little episode just now.
After finishing the meal, I made a boat for a few days, and when I came down, I was "ravaged" by my aunt and aunt lovingly, and after eating, I went to the head, and the whole person was drowsy. Mrs. Wang looked distressed, so she asked Qingdai to wait for Wang Gan to go down to the palace, and then go to see her grandparents, uncles and brothers, and let the maid take Qingdai to the back of the blue gauze cabinet to rest. The old lady was placed in Rongyue Pavilion. Qing Dai went into the blue yarn cabinet and fell asleep, and this sleep was an afternoon.
When Qing Dai woke up again, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the fine lines carved on the skirt and ribbon rings of the partition were glowing with purple and gold shimmers, and the immortals on the eight immortals crossing the sea chart on the yarn were soaring clouds, and the glow was lingering, and the fairy aura was lingering. Qing Dai was stunned, suddenly didn't know where she was, and after thinking about it, she remembered that she was sleepy after the meal, and she didn't know anything after being picked up by the maid in a daze.
"Is the girl awake?"
"Back to the young master's words, not yet."
Qing Dai sat up, "Is it a little cousin?" ”
"Oh, oh, oh", the figure on the yarn flashed, Wang Tao showed half of his body, saw Qingdai sit up, and walked in, "You are awake, you have been asleep for two and a half hours." My grandfather asked me three times, and he got up and came with me. ”
Wang Tao ignored Qing Dai, who had not yet come to his senses, and hurriedly beckoned the maid to come and serve Qing Dai to wash and dress. After a busy day, Qingdai tidied up her appearance, and Wang Tao took her little hand and walked out.
The maid who was waiting beside Mrs. Wang saw that the little young master was walking too fast, and hurriedly shouted behind her: "Fourth young master, fourth young master, you slow down, watch the girl fall carefully." ”
Wang Tao waved his hand, "Xiao, grandmother will come back later, don't forget to say that I will take my cousin." ”
"Little cousin, go slowly, I can't keep up." Qingdai's little short legs can keep up with Wang Tao, and he said, why is this baby so anxious?
When Wang Tao heard this, he slowed down his pace and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I think that my grandfather is anxious, and I don't care about my sister, my sister forgive me!" ”
Qing Dai smiled, "Where are we going?" ”
"In my grandfather's spare time, in addition to flowers and grass, he was also looking for antiquities. I went out as a guest today, and when I came back, I got a new object, saying that it was Tang Shiyue Kiln...... "Thinking of the happy situation when my grandfather entered the door, the corners of Wang Tao's mouth couldn't help twitching, "I'm fiddling with my father in the Biyunchi study now." ”
Qingdai heard that there were antiques, and immediately came to the spirit, when she was in the Mingyu Courtyard, she knew a lot of things from the mouth of Jiu Niangniang, who was in the army, there were no five dynasties and ten kingdoms after the Tang Dynasty, through the Zhou and Kang dynasties, and more than ten years of rebellion in the Five Kingdoms, until the founding emperor of this dynasty established the Dahua Empire. As for the glass, there are not many things that are ahead of the times, and they first appeared at the end of China. Qing Dai guessed that it might have been introduced by a senior master. And the objects that Wang Tao said today are in today's Dahua, that is, antiques more than 400 years ago.
"Then you and I should go quickly, don't let my grandfather wait too long." As she spoke, Qing Dai pulled Wang Tao and urged him to go faster, causing Wang Tao to stumble and almost fall.
After a short time, the two arrived at the Bibo Pond, stepped on the wooden bridge to the opposite bank, and passed through the flower garden, and the old lady Wang's study arrived. Wang Tao went to knock on the door, Qingdai straightened her clothes and hair, and followed Wang Tao into the house "worriedly".
The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled with gold, the room is bright, and there are ten beech bookcases on the left hand side of the entrance, and the dense collection of books swayes the eyes of Qingdai. Looking at the half room of books, Qing Dai thought to herself, this can catch up with the small library.
Wang Tao tugged at the stunned Qingdai, "Go this way." ”
"Oh!" Qing Dai lowered her eyebrows and obediently followed Wang Tao inside.
"Grandfather, cousin is here!"
Qing Dai saw two people standing in front of the bookcase, one was her tall and handsome male uncle, and the other was an old man with a low uncle half a head and a silver silk and white beard, and a bit of fairy wind and bones, thinking that it was her maternal grandfather.
didn't dare to look at it squarely, Qing Dai blessed her body, "Qing Dai to my grandfather and uncle, please say goodbye!" ”
The shadow flickered in front of him, and Qing Dai's feet rose into the air, and then he saw a clear face that was not young but still handsome, and the corners of his lips were flying and smiling at himself.
"Haha." Wang Chongju completely lost the immortal temperament just now, laughed heartily, and the rich laughter shocked Qing Dai for a moment, "Like Wan Niang, she will definitely be a beauty in the future." ”
Wang Chong raised his hands and threw them up, Qing Dai was startled, and when he fell, he was hugged into his arms, and he caught a glimpse of Wang Gan who was smiling next to him, and sighed secretly, if there is a son, there must be a father, and they all love to "play" so much.
Wang Chongju sat down with Qingdai in his arms, Qingdai touched his grandfather's long beard, it was really good, smooth and moisturized, and it was well maintained. So, in some kind of indescribable psychology, the fleshy paw pinched a handful of mustaches and played with them around his fingers.
Wang Tao saw Qing Dai's claws attacking his grandfather's cherished beard, and hurriedly called "Cousin-", squeezing his eyebrows and telling her to stop. Qing Dai was shouted by Wang Tao coldly, her hands tightened, Wang Chong raised her brows and frowned, "Good girl, you can be lighter, grandfather's beard is precious!" Although he said it, Wang Chongju did not take away his beard to stop the ravages of Qingdai.
Qing Dai consciously let go, "Qing Dai knows that she is wrong." Qingdai only thought that her grandfather's beard was good-looking, so she couldn't help but touch it, not intentionally hurting her grandfather. ”
"It's okay. Grandfather didn't mean to blame Qingdai. Wang Chongju touched his granddaughter's head distressedly, "Xiao Qingdai can play if she wants to!" ”
Qing Dai was silent, full of pity and love eyes made her mood indescribable, thinking that her mother must be very favored before she got married, otherwise in the face of her granddaughter who had seen only a few faces, the old man would not indulge his behavior at will no longer be so casual no matter how affectionate he is. regretting the early death of her mother, Qingdai was pleased that she had one more relative...... In my previous life, I didn't have my father and mother's pain, so my grandmother raised me alone, and now that I have so many relatives who love me, my grandmother in heaven will definitely be happy.
For a while, Qing Dai's heart was slightly sour, and her beautiful big eyes contained mist.
Qingdai cried, but she smiled in her heart.
People are emotional creatures. The life that was in its prime, suddenly came to an end, lost the job you wanted, and lost the convenient life of a bustling modern city. Standing aside and watching the play occasionally makes a cameo, just as a new job in a new life. But these days, the love of my grandmother, the pity of my uncle and aunt, the distress of my grandfather, and the enthusiasm of my little cousin...... made me, who was lonely in my previous life, feel the long-lost warmth...... Now that there are so many people who really love themselves, isn't this God's compensation for themselves?
The three men in the room, the old, middle, and young, found Qing Dai's tearful eyes, and immediately panicked.
"Yo, good, good, why are you crying? What grievances have you suffered, your grandfather is the master for you! Did your fourth cousin bully you? ”
Wang Tao's eyes widened and he waved his hand, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qing Dai shaking his head.
"Don't cry, don't cry, my grandfather has a lot of things here, you can pick and choose later." Wang Chongju didn't know why the little girl suddenly cried, stiffened and didn't know what to do, and looked at his son for help.
Wang Gan's officialdom is like a fish in water, but he has no clue how to deal with these things, so he has to say: "Brother Tao, don't persuade your cousin yet." ”
"Oh, oh." Wang Tao opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, he was almost wronged just now, and he was confused at this time, trying to find out where his grandfather had provoked the little girl.
Qing Dai looked at the three men who were looking at each other, burst into laughter, snorted, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "Qing Dai felt that there were so many grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts and cousins who loved me, so she cried happily." ”
The three men breathed a sigh of relief.
"Silly boy!" Wang Chongju was very pleased that Qing Dai put himself first, and touched Qing Dai's head praisefully, and said smugly with white eyebrows: "It's still a girl's caring, look at my Dai girl's ability to talk." ”
"yes, that's a happy thing." Wang Tao smiled and diverted the topic, "Didn't you shout to see your grandfather's new treasure on the road?" ”
"Come, grandfather will take you there." Wang Chongju walked to the bookcase with Qingdai in his arms, stroked his long beard, and explained to Qingdai in a matter-of-fact manner, "This is a melon bead produced in the Yue kiln in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, which has been more than 400 years ago. I'm coming back today, and I'm ...... by accident."
Qing Dai listened to her grandfather enthusiastically tell the origin and exchange process of this thing, and looked at the sugar-yellow long-mouthed pot with melon ribbing on the bookcase, and the corners of her mouth moved almost imperceptibly, where is this object of the Tang Dynasty? Although the body color of this pot is like brown sugar, it is indeed sugar yellow, and it is also in line with the characteristics of early porcelain in the Yue kiln, but this long flow (spout part) is not a technology that can be found in that era. Even if this pot is not imitation, it will have to be postponed by one or two hundred years.
Qing Dai glanced to the side, and couldn't help but wonder about the authenticity of the various objects on the Bogu shelves on the wall. Turning his head to look at the old man's flying beard, his face was full of red light, Qing Dai lowered his ears, and turned around to remind his little cousin, don't let the old man take this thing out as an antique from the Tang Dynasty.
