Chapter 582: Fame and Fame
Yun Niang looked at Zixuan's mother's situation and seemed to be different from what she thought, except for repeating Zixuan's name in her mouth, there was nothing particularly crazy! It's like being immersed in your own world, is it autism?
After a while, the smell of food wafted from the kitchen, and then Sister Nuan Xiang stepped forward to help set the meal! There are only five big dishes on the table, a stir-fried cabbage heart with pork, stewed vermicelli with pork, stir-fried camellia, a scrambled egg, and a plate of chicken.
The rice is white rice mixed with millet rice! Looking at the food on the table, this is already the most delicious meal that Mu Zixuan can take out, the food at home has not been planted this year, and the food is all last year's rice grain! The pork was bought a few days ago for my mother's body, and now only a chicken can be killed.
"A few sons, it's just some commonplace, you're welcome!"
Mu Zixuan washed his hands, sat down and greeted Yun Niang and the three of them, his face was a little impressive! Helping my mother put the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, she looked at Yun Niang and the others apologetically!
After all, his mother's situation is too special, and she needs his help to eat at the dinner table! Yun Niang, they are guests, and in such a situation, there will definitely be some places that are not well taken care of.
Yun Niang looked at Mu Zixuan's appearance and said that she didn't mind, just let him leave them alone!
watched Mu Zixuan take care of his sick mother meticulously, and treated people gently and politely! It's not those nerds who don't work hard and don't distinguish between grains! Although he speaks in a crepe, he is not a pedantic person, and he does not adhere to the concept of a gentleman's cooking! No, this chicken is on the table!
The meal was still enjoyable for the guests and hosts, although Yun Niang had a general understanding of Mu Zixuan's identity in her heart, she still couldn't help but be sure!
Looking at the package that Mu Zixuan put next to him when he entered the door, Yun Niang pointed to the package.
"Can you let the little brother appreciate the ink treasure of the big brother Xuan? Big Brother Zixuan shouldn't mind, right? ”
Looking at Yun Niang, who was familiar with the other party, Mu Zixuan smiled slightly wryly on his face, maintaining the proper etiquette! didn't get carried away because of Yun Niang's voice Brother Zixuan, thinking that the two had a friendship, after all, a noble son like Yun Niang was just a momentary interest in people like them.
He nodded his head.
"It's just for a living! can't talk about Mobao, just don't dislike it! ”
Yun Niang nodded and opened the painting scroll, and saw that there were only a few faint strokes of ink on the painting paper, outlining a picture of green mountains and green waters, looking at the scene in the painting was simple and simple, but it revealed the lightness of the mountains, the black ink color stopped with light brushes, a picture of beautiful mountains and rivers, a painting scene of mountains and rivers, a pair of rice fields under the mountain, farmers holding long whips waving, driving cattle to stroll in the fields! For some reason, Yun Niang felt the joy of the old farmer's harvest and the undulating nature of the mountains at a glance.
Yun Niang always felt that the scenery on this painting was a little familiar, but she didn't remember what this place was! I guess I see a lot of scenes of farming and harvesting on weekdays, so I have a preconceived idea!
Although such a scene is good, it is not very popular with rich and noble families! I'm afraid it's not going to sell well.
After all, people who like to write and ink all like the beautiful mountains and rivers and the majestic Danqing! Either it's mountain birds, flowers and fish, rich and rich, elegant painting style! Generally, like such a small bridge and flowing water, the scenery of the farmhouse is ordinary, and ordinary people may not like it.
Moreover, Shinong industry and commerce, in ancient times, was the most advanced profession, and people generally looked down on businessmen the most, and felt that businessmen were generally people who were consumed by profit! Do everything for the sake of money, everything is based on profit!
Coupled with the exclusion and struggle between shopping malls, the means are used to the extreme, and they are called no treacherous businessmen! The implication is that merchants are treacherous.
And among the scholars, they are the businessmen who despise the business the most, so they are called cheap husbands! It was Yiyun Niang who didn't expect that Mu Zixuan, a scholar, would actually let go of the pride of a scholar and make the most shameless industry for a scholar, what is the difference between exchanging paintings for money and being a businessman?
Yun Niang couldn't tell whether this painting was good or bad, but she also knew that Mu Zixuan's ink treasure shouldn't be bad! At least she can feel the meaning expressed in the painting, as if she is there.
In fact, maybe she has seen too much of this scene, so she feels like this! But it is not excluded that Mu Zixuan has a good literary style.
Yun Niang put down the scroll in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Mu Zixuan, who was taking care of her sick mother, and asked tentatively.
"Brother Zixuan's literary talent is not bad, and he seems to be a scholar again, why didn't he take the road of the imperial examination?"
Mu Zixuan heard Yun Niang's question, although he felt that the other party's question was abrupt, after all, the two were only meeting for the first time! But seeing the pity in the other party's eyes, knowing that Yun Niang just felt strange in her heart, she felt distressed and explained.
"My mother's health is not good, and I can't do without people around me! If I continue to follow the path of the imperial examination, it will definitely not work! Besides, the situation at home does not allow it. ”
"So, does Brother Zixuan have a reputation?"
Yun Niang's words made Mu Zixuan stunned, I don't know why Yun Niang asked like this, so he nodded at the moment.
"Naturally, Zixuan is not talented, these years are just a show of fame!"
It seems that Mu Zixuan is only twenty-three or four, and he already has the fame of showing talent, which is already very good in this ancient period! Some people are just children when they are dozens of years old!
Yun Niang groaned for a while, nodded, didn't say the words on her lips, this Mu Zixuan's situation is better to inquire in many ways!
Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Niang got up and said goodbye and left.
When Yun Niang went out today, she didn't drive the carriage out, and now it's dark when you go back, and you can only walk back! Walking outside the door of the small courtyard, Yun Niang looked at the sky, the last trace of brilliance disappeared, and nodded goodbye to Mu Zixuan, who was seeing him off in front of the door, and left.
And Mu Zixuan helped the sick mother to stand in front of the door to see her off, making Yun Niang sigh leisurely.
When she went out just now, she had already seen the scenery outside the door was the same as the scene in the painting, but now the fields under the mountain in front of her were desolate, and there was no old peasant oxcart and the boundless rice in the painting!
Such a person who is content with the status quo, has no desires, has no desires, and is more clean than filial piety! is not suitable for those curves in the officialdom at all, even if Mu Zixuan is good in knowledge, I am afraid that he will not be able to be an official for a long time.
When I returned to the pear flower courtyard, before I entered the door, Yun Niang saw Yinhua standing in front of the door, and looked around nervously, it seems that this girl is worried about them!
After all, they didn't bring Wang Zhaojun with them when they went out today, and the three women were afraid that something would happen when they went out, and they were nowhere to be seen when it was dark, so there would always be a little worry!
Yun Niang didn't expect to return late today, but she was delayed by Mu Zixuan's matter!
