Qin Xun held tea and looked at the three and a half children who were sitting around the table in his room eating snacks.

After Qin Xiao took Qin Shang away, Qin Wanyu took her sister Qin Feilan and cousin Qin Hong one by one to go back to the garden with Qin Xun to play, Qin Xun couldn't help it, so she had to raise her index finger and make a silent gesture, telling them that the eldest brother was sleeping and not to be disturbed, and brought back the three children.

The three children were also well-behaved, the servants put wooden tables and chairs in the courtyard, and brought them pen and ink and other gadgets, and they sat there and played without making noise, the twin sisters turned over the flower rope and had a lot of fun, and Qin Hong sat quietly on the side drawing something, and his little face was inadvertently stained with some ink.

At lunchtime, Qin Xun saw that Qin Huai took care of the child, and knew that the child's current situation was similar to that of Qin Huai when he was young, the same mother was from a humble background, and she was also cautious at home.

Maybe it's because he has had a good relationship with Qin Huai since he was a child, Qin Xun never insults the origin and position of others, and he can't get used to the wanton and despised behavior of the slut, and he doesn't like to hear these words that will arouse his eldest brother's sadness in his own house, so he just listened to the words of the young Qin Shang to treat Qin Hong, so he would get angry and hit him with a ruler on his disrespectful mouth, otherwise he would just want to pull a fight between the little dolls.

Qin Xun is not enthusiastic, Qin Hong was born two years before he left home, and he is about eight years old this year, but he has not seen Qin Hong much, has no feelings for him, and has no pity.

However, this child is really well-behaved, he is silent and cautious wherever he stays, for fear of making mistakes, and he is not like Qin Huai who was still young and had a belly in the city, he is really well-behaved, looking at the stubbornness of the peach pit red rope string left by his late grandmother, he is still a very affectionate child.

Xu is the twin cousin of his uncle's family treats Qin Hong well on weekdays, and at this moment, he is with her in the Xunyuan courtyard where there are no other people, Qin Hong is a little more open, and he occasionally responds to what they say, and occasionally smiles implicitly.

After a while, the osmanthus cake in the kitchen was steamed, Mu Xi brought two plates back to Xun Garden, Qin Xun beckoned the three children into the house to eat pastries, and the twin sisters immediately put down the flower rope and entered the house, but Qin Hong was carefully tidying up Fang Cai's paintings in the same place.

This kid likes Danqing?

Because his own Qi Jing likes to be good at danqing, Qin Xun prefers to pay attention to some people who are like-minded with him.

He stepped forward curiously: "Can the third brother take a look at what Ah Hong painted?" ”

Qin Hong nodded obediently and spread it out for him to see.

To be sure, the painting is extremely crude, and an eight-year-old child, who has not been specifically taught by his husband, can barely make out the smiling appearance of an old woman by the child's natural brushstrokes.

Qin Xun understood: "This is Ah Hong's grandmother?" ”

Qin Hong seemed to have light in his eyes when he looked at him: "Third brother can see it? "So he's a good drawer?

No, I'm just guessing. Qin Xun looked at his little face that was cautiously looking forward to it, and couldn't bear to speak the truth, he rubbed it on the top of his head with a smile, and chose a clever expression: "Some charm." "For example, the three ink bars on the forehead that represent the wrinkles of the elderly.

"Can the third brother advise Ah Hong one or two?"

It seems that he is really happy with Danqing, and this silent child actually talks to Qin Xun because of this.

"Your third brother will only paint a few Wang Ba casually." Qin Xun funnily pressed the hand that had not been withdrawn from the top of his brother's head, "Hasn't Ah Hong entered the Imperial Library yet?" ”

"Previous...... I didn't adapt to it, and my eldest brother said that he would arrange it for me after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. ”

"Well, that Mr. Yan Yili from the Imperial Library prefers Danqing, if Ah Hong wants to learn this way, you can ask him more."

Qin Hong nodded seriously, his wide eyes full of anticipation.

This Yan Yili is the son of the Zuo Prime Minister's family, a single name and a back word, the word etiquette, Qin Xun entered the Imperial Library when he had been teaching in the Imperial Library for two or three years, it is said that he entered the Imperial Library in the year of the weak crown, so in the past, Qin Xun estimated that he was two or three years older than his husband Xi Guangling, Xi Guangling was in the same year that Qin Xun entered the Imperial Library, and he was also a young master who entered the Imperial Library at the age of the weak crown.

In this way, Yan Yili is actually older than Xi Guangling's qualifications, but in the end it is not as talented as Xi Guangling, the official position is not as good as Xi Guangling, and it is not Qin Xun who is a group of cubs, but is to teach Qin Huai a group of older children to assist in doing things, after Xi Guangling resigned and returned to his hometown, Yan Yili took over as the young master, Qin Xun listened to and studied under him in the last few months before leaving Beijing, and he can have some impressions because he and Xi Guangling are generally kind and good.

And Yan Yili is naturally the most close to Qi Jing, the third prince among the students, because of his preference for Danqing, and he also has a lot of advice on Qi Jing's Danqing enlightenment, and Qi Jing's Qing is blue, and Yan Yili, who is also called a teacher, is very proud.

Qin Xun looked at the three younger brothers and sisters who were eating osmanthus cakes at the mahogany round table in the outer hall, and suddenly pondered the four sons of the family of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" in Chang'an City, and thought about what he was good at.

It seems like...... is not good at any elegant way, only a little good at following the Qi Huang technique that has been practiced for six years and the Gu poison yin technique that can not be spoken to people, will there be some Qi Jing who is not worthy of Danqing?

Qin Xun was a little sad for no reason, and sighed as he looked at the two plates of osmanthus cakes in front of him.

"Cousin, it's cold if you don't eat anymore, or I'll eat it for you!" Qin Wanyu said.

Qin Xun snorted lightly, snatched a piece of osmanthus cake from under her paws and put it in his mouth, looked at the disappointed little face of his little cousin, and suddenly remembered the first thing she said when she first saw her today, her eyes rolled, and she asked with interest: "Wanwan, do you think your cousin is beautiful?" ”

Qin Wanyu shrunk his neck and said in disgust: "You are a big man, what do you want to be beautiful?" ”

"So isn't my cousin pretty?"

"Hmm...... Pretty right. Qin Wanyu glanced at his cousin who smiled like a child trafficker, and had to admit that this cousin was indeed born with a thorny appearance.

"Yes, that's right." Qin Xun's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he was in a good mood.

Beauty is also an advantage, no one is more worthy of Qi Jing than him, Qin Xun thought so shamelessly.

"yes, what weird thing are you talking about?" Qin Wanyu saw him laughing weirdly, and there was a chill for no reason.

"Nothing." Qin Xun generously pushed the pastry plate in front of the little cousin who had coaxed him happily, got up and dusted off his clothes and said, "When your eldest brother wakes up and asks him to take care of you, I'll go out." ”

He hadn't returned to Chang'an for many years, and Qin Xun happened to take advantage of this idle afternoon to go out for a stroll, and because of his idle habit of living in Jiangnan for six years, he didn't ask his servants to follow.

The imperial city of Chang'an, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, is very different from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles away. The people in the south of the Yangtze River raise people according to the water, the blue tiles and white walls, the riverside people, the light sleeves and thin shirts, Wu Nong's soft words, everywhere is a sense of softness and beauty, and even the air is full of a slight smell of smoke and rain and peach blossoms. The imperial capital is mostly a wide official road, a hundred feet from the building, the high wall is heavy, because there are many powerful people, the street is also full of incense cars, splendid Luo shirts, rich and beautiful atmosphere.

The market is a stall that is very similar to the Jiangnan market, if it weren't for the official dialect of Chang'an accent instead of Wu Nong's soft language spoken by the vendors, Qin Xun would almost think that he was still messing around in the Pingzhou market.

Not in Chang'an for many years, has not much understanding of the current market market, Qin Xun to people to inquire about one or two, turned into a large open shop selling calligraphy, painting and antiques, the name of the shop is also very straightforward, called "Treasure Pavilion", it is said that the thing is as its name, although it is naturally not comparable to the Weiyang court and Zhong Ding Guimen's use of things, but it is also a good thing for a small wealthy family.

After entering, he found that the other half of the store was selling rouge jewelry, and the owner of the shop was a short man with two mustaches.

As soon as he saw Qin Xun enter the door, the shopkeeper seemed to want to come over and greet this rich boy who was better dressed than a few small jasper at a glance, but he couldn't put his face aside and immediately left the girls, and hesitated to see the red-clothed boy waving at him considerately and unpolitely: "You are busy, take care of yourself." ”

Qin Xun's young man's voice, which was usually a little lazy and casual, was very good, and the few girls over there couldn't help but look at him along the source of the sound, Qin Xun noticed it, and smiled at them generously.

It didn't disappoint people because it was worthy of a good-looking face with a good voice, and the girls also smiled generously back, and even a bold girl in orange stepped forward to talk to her companions in the push and coax.

"Childe, is this a gift to give away?"

This is the reason why Qin Xun felt that the folk customs in Jiangnan were not open, in a place like the imperial capital of Chang'an, young boys and girls are happy to talk to each other, it is not a thing that cannot be put on the table, and even it is not uncommon for wealthy families to have special habits to raise a male pet.

Although most ordinary people still have a lot of complaints about Longyang's goodness.
