As soon as he entered the wax moon, Shen Qingyi became busy, and only half a day was in Chenghe Courtyard every day.

Before, Xiao Cong lingered on the sickbed, and Princess Anping exempted her from the gift of morning and dusk. Now that Xiao Cong has recovered from his illness, Shen Qingyi will not disobey his filial piety, from the beginning of the lunar month, he went to Shenghua Courtyard every day to ask for peace, and accompanied Princess Anping to learn to deal with housework after eating the morning meal, and returned to Chenghe Courtyard in the afternoon.

This day is the seventeenth day of the lunar month, there is snow in the sky, Shen Qingyi came back late from Shenghua Courtyard, and he has already used up the eclipse.

After Xiao Cong recovered from her illness, she moved back to the inner courtyard, and only then entered the leisure pavilion outside the main house, and Chi Shao came in and said, "Junjun, Lang Jun said that when you come back, please go to Mi Zhai." ”

Mi Zhai is Xiao Cong's study, which means "tranquility and calmness".

Shen Qingyi changed his clothes, took Bai Su and Chi Shao down the north building, and walked along the east corridor to the front yard.

Out of the middle gate, along the corridor to the front yard, up to the south building.

"Junjun." Xiao Chengzhong saluted her and stretched out his hand to open the door of the study.

Shen Qingyi entered the house, took off his brocade shoes in the Sanqu Flower and Bird Screen Barrier, untied his clothes and gave it to Chi Shao, and took Bai Su out of the barrier and walked inside.

The wide couch behind the bookcase has been removed and replaced with a couch. Xiao Congxun sat on the couch, looked at a long scroll on the case, raised his eyes and saw his wife come in, and a warm smile appeared on his elegant face.

"Qingyi, just came back?"

"There's something going on on my mother's side, and I'm coming back late."

"Good work." Xiao Cong's smile was warm.

Shen Qingyi smiled indifferently, "Sharing for my mother is my duty, and I can learn a lot, how hard will it be." As he spoke, he sat down on the couch on the east side of the bookcase.

Bingbi served the tea soup and rested it on the lacquer table in front of her.

Shen Qingyi took a sip.

Xiao Cong swept his eyes around, "Let's all go down." ”

"Whoa." Simo, Bai Su and other servants and maids all retreated.

Xiao Cong said: "Xiao Cungui sent a gift slip over, it was a congratulatory gift from all parties to congratulate me on my recovery, and my father said that I would deal with it." I'd like to hear your opinion. As he spoke, he handed the gift list to Shen Qingyi.

The gift list is a reflection of people's feelings.

Shen Qingyi felt this when he followed Princess Anping to set up the New Year's gift.

Compared with the inner court gift list, the outer court gift list is an allusion to the power game.

After Shen Qingyi finished reading it, his heart was already turbulent, but his eyes were cold and quiet, "What does Shiro think?" ”

At the top of the list were the crown prince and the king of Qi.

Xiao Cong said: "The congratulatory gifts of the crown prince and the king of Qi are valuable, although they are not unobtainable for our mansion - the important thing is the ...... of the heart of this gift."

I heard Duan Yan report outside the door: "Lang Jun, Jun Jun, Seventeen Lang Jun is here." ”

Shen Qingyi raised his eyebrows, today is seventeen, not every tenth. She glanced at Xiao Cong.

The carved lacquered lattice doors of the outhouse have been flattened out. Duan Yan, who was kneeling in the door, stepped forward, and waited for Xiao Yan to take off the brocade shoes with a wooden bottom, revealing a snow-white double brocade stocking, and got up to untie the big coat for her, revealing a large-sleeved robe with snow fox fur rolled inside.

Xiao Yan took out the three-curved screen barrier and entered, stretched out his hand to take off the mask on his face, a white fox fur lined with condensed snow skin, like Lang Jun carved from white jade, his eyes were stained with flying snow, and his black and white eyes were as clear as water.

Shen Qingyi likes those eyes, pure and innocent, like a child.

Xiao Yan slammed in with his big sleeves and shouted, "Brother-hey, sister-in-law is also there!" There was an unexpected joy in his voice.

Xiao Cong sighed, "Ah Yan is happier to see her sister-in-law than she is to see her brother." ”

Shen Qingyi's complexion was still as cold as snow, but his cold eyes looked at Xiao Yan with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan bowed and said with a grin: "Brother, don't you hear that 'rare things are precious'?" After my sister-in-law moved back to the inner building, I rarely saw each other, but my brother had seen her a few days ago. ”

Xiao Cong couldn't help laughing, and Shen Qingyi also raised his lips.

Xiao Yan lifted the hem of his clothes and sat on the couch on the west side of the bookcase, sitting opposite Shen Qingyi.

Bingbi came in from between his ears, served tea and withdrew.

Xiao Yan took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "What did Brother do when he asked me to come over?" ”

Xiao Cong smiled: "Talk about the congratulatory gift." I'm telling you to hear it. ”

Xiao Yan snorted and opened his eyes wide, "For my brother?" Where's the gift? "Raise your eyes and look around.

Xiao Cong said with a smile: "The gifts are in the treasury of the house, thousands of gifts, all piled up in this house?" Oh, the one your sister-in-law is looking at is the gift list. ”

Thousands of gifts?!

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but stretch his neck to look, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he got up and went over to the side of Shen Qingyi's case, bent down and tilted his head to look, "What kind of treasure are you giving away?" ”

Densely packed with words, or hairpins in small characters.

Xiao Yan's eyes were dazzled, this dense and long list, there were thousands of lines, she was signing her body diagonally like this, and it was inconvenient to get too close to Shen Qingyi, and her posture was more tiring than squatting on a horse.

Shen Qingyi sat still, but the hand holding the scroll moved to the right.

Xiao Yan leaned forward a little more.

Xiao Cong held his forehead, but he couldn't help but smile on his lips, Qingyi would also play tricks.

Shen Qingyi was still a little troubled by being forced to agree to teach Xiao Yan to learn medicine, so he teased her a little, and then put the gift slip on the case and moved it over, "Seventeen, look at yourself." ”

Xiao Yan simply knelt on the soft carpet and took the gift list and swept it over.

At first glance, I saw the head on the right: the prince, a branch of 500-year-old mountain ginseng.

She laughed and said, "This prince is very good at giving gifts." There is a century-old ginseng in my brother's medicinal diet, and my sister-in-law said that it is the best way to replenish qi. Right, teacher? She looked up and grinned. Shen Qingyi hadn't officially taught her yet, but she had already called the teacher first.

Shen Qingyi snorted in his heart, and said indifferently: "I remember yes." ”

"Hey, you also gave Mrs. Zhong's "Xuanyuan Table"?" Xiao Yan blinked, and slipped down to see King Qi's ceremony, tsk, Wang Shijun's handwriting, plus Gu Changshi's true handwriting, this gift is heavier than the prince!

Xiao Yan sighed, "Is this King Qi related to Brother A?" She remembered that the fourth brother's princess mother was not the same mother as the crown prince and King Qi, and there was no reason for King Qi to be closer than the prince.

Xiao Cong took out a blank piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote "100,000 soldiers and horses in Hexi", showed it to Xiao Yan, and smiled clearly, "Can you have a kiss?" ”

Xiao Yan blinked, smiled, stretched out his hand and wrote "Tai" in the air: He wants to be the prince?

Xiao Cong's lips bent, folded the piece of paper, and explained: "The crown prince is from the queen of the Yuan, and the king of Qi is from the current queen." ”

This is really plain enough - Shen Qingyi looked at the tea cup and his eyes were floating, Xiao Cong's treatment of Xiao Seventeen was really excellent.

Xiao Yan sighed, frowned and worried about his brother, "This gift is really hot to accept, and I can't help but accept it." ”

Xiao Cong smiled and nodded at her, "It's okay, let's just exchange courtesies." ”

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "That's right, the return gift is quite good." Brother, what are you going to give back? "Suddenly, I have a toothache," Wang Youjun, Gu Changshi, hey...... "Who can compare with the saint of books and the saint of painting?"

"What do you think?" Xiao Cong looked at his wife with a smile.

Shen Qingyi's voice was like a cold spring, and Ye came out with two words: "Age." ”

Xiao Yan immediately understood, "Yes, you can choose a famous artist from the ancient age." But who should you choose? - Du Qixiang, Cui Ziyu, Zhang Boying, Cai Zhonglang, Zhong Taifu? These five are all famous masters of the Han and Wei dynasties, among which Du, Cui, and Zhang all have the reputation of grass saints, and Zhang Boying and Zhong Taifu are listed as the four sages in the book with Wang Youjun and Wang Daling's father and son

, and Cai Zhonglang created the flying white body, and is also the teacher and scholar of Zhong Taifu Lishu, and the calligraphy of these five is not less precious than Wang Youjun's handwriting, and it is especially surviving, because there are fewer survives. Xiao Yan believes that the heritage of the Xiao clan in Lanling must have collected these authentic works, even if they are not complete, there are two or three of them.

Xiao Cong laughed, "These, there may be, but my father is afraid that he is reluctant to give them." ”

Their father, Xiao Yu, was a master of calligraphy, so how could he be willing to give these calligraphy to others?

Shen Qingyi heard another layer of deep meaning from Xiao Cong's words, Xiao Yu would not bother to run the prince or the king of Qi, if it was really important, as the head of the Xiao family in Lanling, how could he be reluctant to give up a few famous calligraphy?

Xiao Yan sighed and said, "I can't think of this." On painting, before Gu Changshi, Mrs. Zhao, Cao Buxing, Wei Xie, Zhang Mo? Anyway, there aren't many genuine products of these people. ”

She looked sideways at Shen Qingyi, "What does Sister-in-law think?" ”

Shen Qingyi's cold eyes swept towards the gift list, and said lightly: "Mrs. Zhong." ”

Xiao Yan blinked, looked at the gift list in the direction of her gaze, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Sister-in-law shouldn't mean to say that the prince gave the prince Zhong Taifu's "Xuanyuan Table" back to King Qi, right?" She said and slowly widened her eyes, "Then return the "Shangwan Post" sent by the King of Qi to the crown prince?" ”

The corners of her mouth twitched, "Sister-in-law, can you return the gift like this?" ”

Her mother didn't teach her about these Shi family's gift-giving customs, but Qi Niang said some of them, but Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder, can the Shi family return the gift like this? It seems that it is okay to return to the west with the east gift, but the time of the return gift should be staggered, right? Furthermore, it doesn't seem like a good thing to return the favor with the same family?

Shen Qingyi's eyes were like a stream, "This is for your brother." ”

Xiao Yan let out an "ah", looked at Shen Qingyi in confusion, and then looked at Xiao Cong.

Xiao Cong looked at his wife's eyes with a hint of admiration, smiled back to Xiao Yan and said: "If it is another family, it is not suitable, the prince and the king of Qi are just right." ”

Xiao Yan's dark eyes rolled, and he returned to the king of Qi with the prince's gift, and the prince with the prince's gift...... She slapped her leg and said, "I understand!" Haha, it's wonderful. ”

This is a clear statement to the prince of Qi: We will not get involved in the affairs of your royal brothers.

She laughed, looked at Shen Qingyi and said, "Sister-in-law is really smart!" Then he sighed again, "And what about the "Qin Chopping Picture"?" What kind of gift is used for this? Which of them is the original? ”

Xiao Cong smiled silently, still looking at his wife.

Shen Qingyi said lightly: "Isn't it "Cutting the Qin", since it is a qin, then return to the qin." I heard that King Qi's piano path is also good. ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, and suddenly burst into laughter, "This gift is really good." "Her fourth sister-in-law is really wonderful!
