Which of the people Sun Shangshu usually deals with is not twisted and turned? I don't want to talk a few things, as if I can't speak, I come into contact with someone with a temperament like Xu Huaiyi for the first time, and I don't know how to deal with a few straight balls from him, but people are like that, it's not pretending to be stupid, it's not natural and straightforward, how to describe it? It's so straightforward that you're embarrassed to look at him calmly.

He had to readjust his mentality, and his tone was a lot more kind, "Your daughter-in-law's writing is really good, and the old man is quite inspired when he reads it......"

Xu Huaiyi said, "It's good to be able to help you." ”

Sun Shangshu nodded, "Can you use the ......" After a pause, he turned his head and pointed to the shelf not far away, and instructed Luo Zhi'an, "Bring that inkstone." ”

Luo Zhian was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, carefully took it off the shelf, and respectfully sent it to Sun Shangshu.

Sun Shangshu didn't answer, "Send it to Huaiyi." ”

This time, even Sun Yu was stunned, he knew the piece of inkstone on the shelf, the old man was very precious, and he took it out from time to time to play with it, usually he couldn't look at it twice, but now he was willing to give it away?

Xu Huaiyi's understanding of pen, ink, paper and inkstone is very limited, but he can let Sun Shangshu make a move, and guess that it will not be an ordinary product, the inkstone is contained in a delicate wooden box, and he is not easy to open it, rubbing his hands, and said embarrassedly, "Master, the apprentice Sun has not practiced calligraphy for a few days, and he uses such a good inkstone, which is completely a cow chewing peony, it is too bad to waste it, otherwise, you should reward me with something else......"

Sun Yu couldn't hold back and coughed choked on saliva.

Sun Shangshu was amused by him, and his beard curled, "You still have the face to say this, your handwriting is not much stronger than a dog's planing, and no matter how generous the old man is, he will not give you this inkstone to use......"

When a thin-skinned person heard this, his face should normally be blushing with shame, but Xu Huaiyi's reaction was different from others, and he said very approvingly, "What the ancestor said is right, how big the hand is, how big the bowl is, the little skill of the disciple grandson at the moment, it is enough to use an inkstone of two taels of silver, no matter how good it is, it is a violent thing." ”

Sun Shangshu looked at him deeply, "You are living transparently." ”

Xu Huaiyi said with a smile, "The apprentice grandson is self-aware. ”

Sun Shangshu still motioned to Steward Luo to hand the wooden box containing the inkstone to Xu Huaiyi, "Take it, it's not for you, it's for your daughter-in-law." ”

The value of this booklet is hard to say now, but based on experience, he feels that there will be unexpected wonders, and when the time comes, it will be his political achievements.

Therefore, it is appropriate to return a thank you gift, and he is not a bad old man who likes to take advantage of juniors.

As soon as he heard that it was for his daughter-in-law, Xu Huaiyi no longer hesitated, and quickly took it and thanked him.

This look, not only does not make people feel shallow, but greatly pleases the person who sent the things, anyway, Sun Shangshu felt very comfortable, and then asked about other books.

Xu Huaiyi explained, "The books given to the master, as well as the uncles and uncles, were copied by the daughter-in-law of the apprentice's grandson, and it was supposed to be copied by the apprentice's grandson, but the disciple's grandson's handwriting was really uncontrollable, so I had to work hard for the apprentice's granddaughter-in-law......"

Hearing this, Sun Shangshu nodded, he wouldn't believe those books on the art of war and the like, it would be written by a woman, just copy it, "Where did you copy it?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said seriously, "Don't dare to deceive the ancestors, the original manuscripts of those books were all bought by my father-in-law when he was traveling abroad, because some of the books were seriously damaged, so they were copied again, otherwise the apprentice grandson would directly bring the original manuscripts." ”

Sun Shangshu was suddenly, and he said that the general delivery of books is to send the original manuscript, and the manuscript is not enough to show sincerity, and the dare is damaged and cannot be moved.

Next, Sun Shangshu asked a few more questions.

Xu Huaiyi replied one by one.

Between the two of them asking and answering, the conversation was very speculative.

Sun Yu was dumbfounded.

Good guy, for the first time in his life, he saw his father so kind and amiable, not only did he not scold, but he also cared about Xu Huaiyi's studies and family......

Who is the son?

When he couldn't help but eat, the old and the young finally ended the topic, and Sun Shangshu asked Steward Luo to personally send the two away.

Far away from the study, Sun Yu was still in a trance.

I walked back from the study.

Xu Huaiyi shouted, "Master? Master? ”

Sun Yu came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Huaiyi said, "Is there nothing going on next?" Will the disciple be able to go back? ”

"In a hurry?"

"As soon as the disciple came out for most of the day, the family must be worried, and the disciple can't wait to go back and tell them how beautiful the time was at the master's house today."

Sun Yu was amused, and suddenly sighed, "You are much better than a teacher." ”

Xu Huaiyi was confused.

Sun Yu glanced at the wooden box he was holding, "I've been a teacher for so many years, and I haven't gotten a few decent things from the old man." ”

was scolded, and he couldn't fall behind any time.

When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he immediately laughed, "The disciple fell in love with the ancestor. ”

Sun Yu was choked by him, and said sourly, "It's enough to fall in love, after chatting for half an hour, my father didn't get angry once, and he didn't even have a sinking face." ”

He laughed twice for the first time, almost knocking his jaw off.

Xu Huaiyi sighed, "That's because the ancestor has a good temper, and he is reluctant to be fierce to the juniors." ”

The corners of Sun Yu's mouth twitched, reluctant? It was true that he was reluctant to die, and he didn't want to continue the topic, so he turned to the inkstone, "Do you know the origin of this inkstone?" ”

Xu Huaiyi shook his head.

Sun Yu explained, "This is the old man to exchange things with others, is one of his favorite inkstones, this is called Duan inkstone, the head of the group of inkstones, the stone is delicate and moisturizing, astringent does not leave a pen, slippery does not refuse ink, but all literati are proud of having a Duan inkstone, you ...... Forget it for the time being, go back and use it for your daughter-in-law. ”

Xu Huaiyi opened his eyes and looked at it, but his eyesight couldn't see that it was good, but it didn't prevent him from responding happily.

When he came, he pulled a cart of gifts, and when he left, he also pulled a cart full of gifts, including the meeting gifts given to him by the Sun family, as well as for Gu Huanxi and the children, in addition, there were some food, cloth, and medicinal materials to show the closeness of the two families.

Xu Huaiyi was sitting in his mule cart, Gao Zhuang was driving outside, Liu Xiuwen asked, "Third Brother Xu, will you go back to the village or the college?" ”

Gu Huanxi meant that he didn't want him to go back, for fear of being entangled by the old Xu family, and it would be difficult to get out, but right now, it was really inappropriate not to go back and give an explanation.

Besides, he can't hide for the rest of his life, he has to face it.

"Go back and stay overnight, and go back to the academy tomorrow morning."

Passing by the vicinity of the college, several cars separated, Xu Huaiyi poked his head out of the car window, "Brothers who have worked hard today, thank you another day." ”

Zhao Sanyou said bluntly, "No need to thank you, just please eat." ”

Xu Huaiyi laughed and said, "Okay, where do you want to eat, you pick a place." ”

Zhao Sanyou said, "Chunshui Building." ”

Xu Huaiyi immediately made a painful look, "For you, I'm out of the way." ”

Zhao Sanyou laughed.

Su Zhe joked, "I'm more greedy, in addition to eating, I also want a gift." ”

Xu Huaiyi's eyes widened, "You don't want books, do you?" That's really gone. ”

Su Zhe smiled, like a fox seeing meat, "I'm not interested in reading, I just like to do business." ”

"So what?"

"I think the gifts you gave to Miss Sun and the young masters are good, how about cooperation?"
