Chapter 62: Picture Scroll
At noon, Xiping Street, the Thorn Shifu was quiet.
In the study, Shen Ye was buried in a pile of files, flipping through the pages of detailed records about the civil affairs of various prefectures and counties.
Shen Yun pushed the door in and said loudly, "My lord, it's time for lunch." β
Only then did Shen Ye put down the file in his hand, stood up to refresh his tired muscles and bones, and asked as he walked out, "What did the second brother do today?" β
Shen Yun followed behind Lord Thorn Shi, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly replied, "The second young master went out to visit Meizhou City in the morning, and he only brought a personal servant. β
Shen Ye nodded, "Did he say that he would come back for dinner at noon?" β
"Nope." Shen Yun replied, "I want to have lunch in a restaurant outside." "The second young master has silver on him, where can't he find a place to eat-
"Then I won't wait for him." Shen Ye said something when he heard this, and then strode towards the front hall.
Shen Yun took a step behind and locked the study before turning around and chasing after him.
On the dining table in the front hall, three dishes and one soup are steaming.
Master Thorn Shi cleaned his hands, and as soon as he sat down at the table, he saw the second brother walking into the courtyard with high spirits.
Big brother 1 Shen Ji shouted from afar, and when he stepped into the hall, he said in surprise: "Why don't you wait for the little brother to have lunch together!" It's a good thing that the little brother came back in time, otherwise there would only be a table of leftovers leftβ"
"I thought you were eating in a restaurant outside, so I didn't wait for you." Shen Ye explained casually.
Someone immediately placed a new pair of dishes and chopsticks next to him.
Shen Ji cleaned his hands under the service of the maid, came to the round table and sat down, glanced at the three dishes and one soup with great disgust, and complained: "Big brother, you are a thorn in history now, why are you using such a crude meal......
Shen Ye's face did not change color, he insisted on the wooden chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of fish meat into the bowl, used it slowly and methodically, and after eating a bite of the fish, seeing that the second brother still refused to put down the chopsticks, he had to say: "I can't eat much by myself." The three dishes and one soup are just right, with all meat and vegetables, which is not vulgar. β
Shen Ji glanced at the wooden chopsticks on the table with great disgust, he had used silver chopsticks since he was a child, and he had never seen such ugly wooden chopsticks.
I saw that the eldest brother on the opposite side looked as usual, using his meal meticulously. He had to reluctantly pick up the wooden chopsticks, and then reluctantly picked up a piece of famous spinach leaves, and before he could put it in his mouth, the tip of his nose smelled the green breath of the famous spinach leaves, and suddenly threw it into the bowl, put down the wooden chopsticks, and said with a wistful expression: "Big brother, this meal is really unswallowable." The tired eldest brother instructed the kitchen to set up another table1
Shen Ye turned a deaf ear, and while continuing to eat, he said: "This mouth of the second brother has been raised by the Shen Mansion. If you can't eat the food in the house, go to the restaurant! The food in Dongyue Restaurant in Meizhou City is good, and the second brother goes there for lunch. β
Shen Ji couldn't help but complain: "Big brother, the younger brother didn't think about having dinner with you, so he rushed back from outside!" It's not like I don't have any money, what kind of restaurant can't afford to eatβ"
Shen Ye glanced at him indifferently, and then concentrated on eating.
Shen Ji had no choice but to pick up the wooden chopsticks again, unwillingly picked up a piece of fish, tasted it, and it was not so unpalatable.
Shen Ye saw that the second brother was willing to use chopsticks, so he said to the servant serving on the side: "Let the kitchen add two plates of vegetables, a plate of winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices, and a plate of vegetarian stewed three fresh pills." β
The servant nodded yes and turned to the kitchen to deliver a message.
Shen Ji laughed at this time, "Thank you, big brother, for being kind to the little brother." β
"Meals are just for filling, so why be so picky." Shen Ye said lightly.
Shen Ji smiled, "The eldest brother doesn't care about the coarse tea and light rice, but the younger brother minds." What is the point of living if you can't satisfy your appetites.1
Shen Ye snorted, "Why didn't you know that the second brother pursued the desire of the mouth?" β
Shen Ji replied: "In the Shen Mansion before, everything about the eating utensils was exquisite, so naturally there was no need to deliberately pursue it. β
"The second brother also knows that I was just a seven-grade county magistrate before, and my meager income was only enough for me to eat coarse tea and light food every day, and after a long time, I got used to it. Now although he has been promoted to assassin history, he is still overstretched. Shen Ye said slowly.
Shen Ji naturally didn't believe that the eldest brother was really shabby, "In the past, the eldest brother also heard a little about the situation of the eldest brother. But the younger brother just sent you two large carts of silver, but the eldest brother is still so hard and simple, I'm afraid it's not that there is no silver flower, but that the eldest brother is reluctant to spend it1
Shen Ye put down the wooden chopsticks, took a cloth towel and wiped the corners of his lips, and said unhurriedly: "Silver naturally has to be used on the blade." Isn't it a waste to use it for food1?
Shen Ji listened to these remarks and immediately praised: "The eldest brother is strategic, and the younger brother is ashamed!" The people in Meizhou City are full of rumors that the eldest brother is an upright official and sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and the younger brother believes these words now. β
Shen Ye stood up and said casually: "Second brother, use it slowly, I still have some official business, so I won't accompany you." β
Shen Ji hurriedly stood up and stopped Lord Thorn Shi and said, "Big brother, wait for a while." The younger brother bought a painting on the street at a high price today, and asked the eldest brother to appreciate it - "
The little guy waiting next to him immediately stepped forward with the scroll in both hands.
Shen Ye had no choice but to pause, and said helplessly: "Second brother, I don't understand these ...... either"
Shen Ji didn't care what the eldest brother reacted to, he only took the scroll, slowly unfolded it, and looked at Lord Thorn Shi with an expectant expression, "Big brother, how is this painting?" β
Shen Ye looked over and saw that it was a picture of a landscape pavilion, which was very leisurely, and he praised it at the moment: "Not bad!" Skillful in painting, and free in artistic conceptionβ"
Shen Ji suddenly laughed, "Big brother, this painting was painted by a down-and-out talent. The younger brother thinks that this person will become everyone in the future! Shall we help him? β
"Down-and-out talent?" Shen Ye was surprised, and went to look at the seal on the painting again, "Liu Chengxu-"
Shen Ji also went to see the inscription and seal on the painting, and said with a smile: "It turns out that his name is Liu Chengxu, a good name!" Sounds like everyone's name1
"Where did you buy the paintings?" Lord Thorn asked.
Shen Ji wandered around the painting stall he met casually, where did he know what the place was, so he had to ask the little guy who followed, "Do you know where Xiucai set up the stall?" β
The little guy served the young master all day long, so he naturally had to watch and listen to the six roads, and immediately replied: "At the mouth of the alley next to the Fengyue Tea House." β
Shen Ji smiled: "Good memory! Let's go and get the reward later1
The little guy couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Second Young Master Xie's reward 1 and then bowed down and stepped aside to wait."
Shen Ye frowned and was silent, looking at the painting, and the words that Japanese Wenyan said sounded in his ears-
β¦β¦
Recently, there was a Liu Xiucai, in order to win the heart of his cousin, he moved from Xingyuan Mansion to Meizhou City, and went to visit Xufu every once in a while, and also sent a few hand-painted scrolls.
β¦β¦
I am fortunate to see it, his painting skills are extremely superb, the artistic conception is transcendent, I am afraid that no one in Meizhou City can compare!
