Chapter 7 Antiques
"I want to eat osmanthus cake, but the nurse won't let me eat it." The girl pouted.
"Why?"
"She said that osmanthus cake will eat bad teeth, so she won't let me eat it."
Yan Yongning smiled: "My baby daughter, tell the nurse, Commander Yan said that if you want to eat osmanthus cake, you can eat it!" ”
The girl screamed with joy, kissed her father's face in front of her, and did not dislike the unshaven beard, and ran away.
Luo Zhen looked at this scene with a smile.
Yan Xiaxuan looked at the woman not far away with a slightly sideways face, looking at her smiling.
Her whole person was as clean and clear as a jade tree in the snow, and the light from the outside came in, and her smile seemed to crush the sun, which made him think of the scene when he first saw her.
At that time, she was helping an old woman carry her luggage, her cheeks were as white as jade, and her eyes were soft and clear.
Yan Xiting looked at his younger brother beside him, his expression was calm and focused, like Zhu Mo's smudged lips pursed lightly, cold and noble, and a pair of eyes flashed with a faint light, after a while, he smiled lightly, his eyes flashed with predatory intent.
He shook his head and looked at the stage not far away.
After this little episode, Luo Zhen looked back on the stage and saw the man standing on it, with a slender body but thin clothes, and couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, it is the cold winter wax moon, and the temperature outside can be imagined.
Isn't that man's clothes so thin, not cold?
They sat indoors, and there was a very hot charcoal fire in the room, so naturally it would not be cold.
She can't forget when she first came to Beiping, she felt the cold air as soon as she got off the car, and it could turn water into ice.
Yan Xiaxuan followed her gaze and looked at Feng Ya, and when she saw her "gentle and petty" appearance, the expression on her face was difficult to understand.
After having dinner at the Yan family, Luo Zhen and her father finally walked out of the Yan family.
In this way, they set off from Luo's house and stayed at Yan's house until the sun was setting.
Master Yan smiled: "You can really come over and play often when you have time." ”
Luo Zhen smiled and nodded.
Today she is very happy, she grew up in Europe since she was a child, and she doesn't know what oriental etiquette rules, so before she came, she was a little worried that there would be a lot of things she didn't understand in this Yan family's traditional old-style Gaomen Qihu, but she didn't expect that after coming, she felt that there was nothing.
Sitting in the car with his father, Luo Fuzhou did not forget his promise, and came to the mouth of an alley on a diagonal street, full of antique storefronts, he told the driver to stop, and then took Luo Zhen out of the car.
Luo Zhen looked at the sign "Gu Yue Zhai" in front of him, and his heart was a little excited.
When she walked in, she found that it was an antique shop, and she was dazzled by all kinds of jade and antiques.
"This young lady, this old man," the boss saw several people in military uniforms behind them, and guessed in his heart that they must be nobles in Beijing, so he couldn't help but be very enthusiastic, and stepped forward to beckon: "Take a good look and see if you like anything." ”
Luo Zhen walked around the whole store with amazement, she saw these for the first time, and was very curious and excited for a while, and picked up a good color mutton fat jade pendant to play with, and then picked up a five-lobed maple leaf shaped jade to study, these beautiful jade were carved into various shapes, the tentacles were warm, the pulp was thick, and they were decorated with Luo Ying.
The front of the five-lobed maple leaf shape jade imitates the vein trend of the maple leaf, and the reverse side depicts endless cloud patterns, but the rightmost split maple leaf has been bumped and broken into a few small pieces.
Luo Zhen was obviously very interested in this piece of jade, and looked carefully left and right.
Luo Fuzhou was already sitting on the Taishi chair on the side, and the shopkeeper had already built the best Longjing tea for him.
"Miss, if you don't like any of these, I have a new baby here, I might as well ask you to take a look." The shopkeeper is a good person, seeing that they have an extraordinary bearing, they are obviously a noble family, and their identity is Xuanhe, so they can't help but think about it.
Luo Zhen was surprised: "Then ask the shopkeeper to take it out and show me." ”
The shopkeeper came out of the back room a short time later, holding a quaint carved wooden box in his hand.
Luo Zhen stepped forward, the shopkeeper slowly opened, and there was a crescent-shaped jade pendant lying quietly inside, the size of a baby's palm, the whole body was turquoise, dusty, shining with a shining light, as if there was a streamer surging, warm to the touch, smooth and delicate, very comfortable.
"Miss, don't look at its unsightly appearance, this jade is not an ordinary jade, but from the palace, I heard that her master was the jade Gege in the palace, Miss knows how precious it is, right?"
Luo Zhen was surprised: "Really? ”
After staring at it carefully for a long time, Luo Zhen became interested in it and said, "Father." ”
Luo Fuzhou nodded: "Check out." ”
"I want this piece of jade too." Luo Zhen took the maple leaf-shaped jade again and said to Luo Fu.
The boss was very happy, he asked for a lot of money, and sure enough, this father and daughter were not ordinary people.
The Yan family's banquet was dispersed, and all the guests were gone, leaving only Master Yan and his relatives.
After a hard day, the third aunt came over and put on a thick and warm crane coat for Master Yan, who was standing under the porch, "Master, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Yan Yongning was smoking a pipe, his face was a little faint under the corridor lamp, at this time he had long lost the smile in the daytime, and looked into the distance expressionlessly.
"Master, the concubine doesn't understand, you haven't always disliked Commander Naluo, he has always disliked Er Shao, and he doesn't give him face, why is it today?"
Today, they are so happy and harmonious.
The third aunt finally couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph," Yan Yongning sneered, "The person who wields power is the best at acting on the spot." ”
*
The woman's temples are scattered, her clothes are half-covered, and she looks uncharming, she is reclining, leaning on the Zhu Qi embroidered couch, and her eyebrows and eyes are flattering to look at the man who is not far away.
"Fengya~"
The man chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I heard that you went to Yan's house today, didn't you?"
"Madame is really well-informed."
The woman slipped into his arms and said with a smile, "Those young ladies are going to be happy," she stroked the man's jaw, "Who made Feng Ya so charming?" ”
Feng Ya smiled: "What did Madam say about this, now I only belong to you." He leaned close to the woman's ear and blew softly, Wu Nong whispered.
The woman's face was crimson, and she wanted to refuse and welcome.
Feng Ya smiled, and the two were entangled.
"You're such a male vixen, born to seduce women." The woman muttered in a low voice, immersed in tenderness.
When Feng Ya heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she disappeared in an instant, and then chuckled: "Yes." ”
*
"Xiaxuan." The man turned to his sister when he heard the voice.
"I'll think about what you said during the day."
Yan Xiaxuan listened to her sister's words and bowed her jaw.
"I noticed that you were a little out of shape today." Yan Xiting stared at Yan Xiaxuan and said with a smile.
Yan Xiaxuan smiled: "How do you say this?" ”
"Xia Xuan, you are not young, you have no determination all day, and my father and I are very worried about you."
Yan Xiaxuan smiled and didn't speak.
Yan Xiting saw his expression that seemed to be indifferent, and suddenly said, "You Xiao miss the new young lady of the Luo family?" ”
Yan Xiaxuan was startled and looked at her sister.
I saw Yan Xiting smiling: "Isn't it?" ”
Yan Xiaxuan smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about, I saw her for the first time today." ”
"Really?" Yan Xiting was noncommittal, a pair of narrow and upward fox eyes stared at her younger brother tightly, but she saw that Yan Xiaxuan's eyes were indifferent and cold, as steady as Mount Tai.
The two siblings are both smart people, and neither of them will let anyone.
Yan Xiting sighed slightly, this younger brother, she couldn't do anything about him since she was a child.
"In that case, then I don't need to help you, I plan to invite that Miss Luo Zhen in two days."
Yan Xiaxuan's eyebrows moved slightly.
"I hit Miss Luo at first sight, thinking of making her my close friend, I thought you would like such a girl, since that's the case, don't blame the old lady for not helping you."
"Sister," Yan Xiaxuan said a little helplessly, "You've done this kind of thing many times, and you don't bother it." ”
Yan Xiting's eyes were full of disgust: "You're embarrassed to say!" I'm not following my father's orders to find good famous ladies for you, saving you from looking for some indiscriminate women outside all day long. I heard that a few days ago, you turned your face against others in order to support a female drama, and didn't your father know about running an academy for a woman, and then he was angry? Look at you, how old are you? Shouldn't you start a family yet? ”
"Alright, alright." Yan Xiaxuan's brain hurt a little from her training, and he rubbed the corners of his forehead: "I just listen to you, you can do whatever you want." ”
"Hmph, it's cheap and good! Don't think I can't see it, your eyes are almost on someone today! ”
Yan Xiaxuan looked at her and sighed lightly: "Sister, don't you know the relationship between our family and the Luo family?" ”
Yan Xiting was stunned and fell silent.
"Do you think Luo Fuzhou will approve of me dating his daughter? You won't be deceived by the happy appearance of your father and Na Luo Fu Zhou today, right? Yan Xiaxuan sneered, "Jingzhong knows that my Yan family and the Luo family are not in harmony, do you think it's just talking?" ”
Yan Xiting was speechless for a while.
"Things in the army are very complicated, and it's normal that you don't know."
"Besides," the man raised his eyebrows slightly, "it's just a woman, and you think I'm serious?" ”
Yan Xiting shook her head and sighed: "Shouldn't I let you harm other girls, forget it, let's talk about this matter." ”
*
It was the lunar month, and the entire Beiping City was shrouded in a severe cold, Luo Zhen sat in his backyard and looked at the small frozen pond, quietly distracted.
"Miss," Yayu sat down, handed her a coat, and said, "You better go into the house, it's cold outside, I heard that it is going to snow soon, but don't catch a cold." ”
"yes, it's so cold, shouldn't I go out." Luo Zhenwu muttered to himself.
The willows on the edge of the small pond were bare, and their branches shivered in the cold wind.
