Chapter 27

Holding the scroll back to the main room, an Changqing wanders around to find a suitable place to hang the scroll. Xiao Zhige followed him and frowned with reluctance: "this one is not good. Next time the picture is good, hang it up. "

"I think this one is good." An Changqing didn't like it. He held up the scroll and drew on the wall. He said, "and if you draw it later, you can hang it here."

Then he called the servants in and asked them to hang up the picture.

"It's a pity that I don't know." An Changqing looked up at the people adjusting their positions and said, "otherwise, I'll draw a portrait for the Lord. Isn't it good to hang two pictures next to each other? Or find a painter and draw one for both of us. "

As he spoke, his face was full of bright smile. Xiao Zhige looked at him and heard his words, his eyes twinkled slightly.

Waiting for the next person to hang up the painting, an Changqing was still not very satisfied with it and asked people to move to the right again. Finally, he was satisfied with the adjustment. He asked Anfu to send tea and have a cup of tea with Xiao Zhige.

"Has Wang Ye studied Danqing before?" An Changqing looked at the habitual silent man and asked curiously.

In fact, he didn't seem to know Xiao Zhige very well in his two lives. Just like in his previous life, he had never seen Xiao Zhige take a paintbrush. This man is always cold. The hand full of cocoons seems to be born with a knife and a gun, not like a paintbrush.

"I learned it as a child." Xiao Zhige drooped his eyes and said faintly.

Although he was not favored, Xiao Zhige had a class with other princes when he was a child. Dayetai. Zu is the proud son of heaven. He is a well-known emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As the descendants of dayetai. Zu, the princes dare not fall into the name of dayetai. Zu Wei. In addition to the necessary four books and five classics to be familiar with, Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting and martial arts skills can not be left behind.

He was ignorant when he was a child. He only knew that his father didn't like him and his wife, but he didn't know why. Later, when he saw that his elder brother was praised by his father for his excellent academic performance, he went all out to study, hoping that his father would also praise him and go to see him and his mother. It's just that he doesn't seem to have any talent in these elegant things, and he doesn't get a word of praise even though he has wasted a lot of energy.

Later, when his mother died, he became more and more sensible. I don't want to do these useless things any more. I just want to practice martial arts and study the art of war.

Of course, he didn't intend to tell an Changqing about these old things. He only vaguely brought them to an end with a light sentence of "all princes want to learn.".

An Changqing was so happy to hear that he asked, "what else can the Lord do?"

"Qin, Qi, calligraphy and painting are all good at it, but they are not good at it."

Unexpectedly, looking like a rude military general, the king of Northern War would still have these elegant things. An Changqing felt that he knew too little about him. But now the more I know, the more I feel that this man is like a crude stone with jade. The surface looks rough and ordinary, but you only need to peel off a little stone coat, you will find that there is precious jade inside.

"But I can't do anything." With a bitter face, an Changqing said with some melancholy, "I can't read music, chess, calligraphy and painting, except reading more books. Does the Lord dislike me? "

These things are not taught in an's family studies. Most of the children who go to study in an's family go to the imperial examination for fame and honor, and only learn eight part essay. If you want to learn something else, you have to ask another master to teach you. Just like an Changqing's eldest brother and second brother, and even the young masters of the other three rooms, they all have teachers to teach. He is the only one who doesn't like to be in the house. No matter whether he invited the master to open a small kitchen or went out to play, he doesn't have his share.

Xiao Zhige twisted his eyebrows: "No."

He said, "if you want to learn, I'll teach you."

An Changqing is also casual feeling, but listen to what he said, and can't help thinking: "really?"

Xiao Zhige gave a "um".

"Let's start with Danqing?" An Changqing laughed: "when I learn, I will draw a portrait for the Lord."

Xiao Zhige moved slightly, then he gathered his face and bent his lips: "good."

***

the day after the house of marquis Zhongyong was destroyed, an Changqing went to an's house.

But unexpectedly just enter a door, met the eldest brother an Changyu that haven't seen for a long time. An Changyu is Li's eldest son, six years older than him. After getting married, he was sent to a place by an Zhike for training. This year, he just returned to Beijing to report on his work. Because his mother-in-law was seriously ill, he accompanied his wife to perform filial piety a few days ago and came back a few days ago.

I don't want to happen to run into an Changqing.

An Changyu smiles and salutes, as if he doesn't know what happened in this mansion: "third brother, oh no, it's the princess. How are you

An Changqing also put on a smile and said faintly, "everything is OK. Where's big brother? How are you doing out there? "

"All good, all good." An Changyu's smile is amiable, and his steps follow him: "it's hard to be in the open place. I've suffered a lot in the past three years. But really back, and some not used to. It's very different from before I left. When we think about the carefree days when we were young, we can't help feeling that our children were carefree. "

He sighed as if it were true or false, and an Changqing was not sure what he wanted to say, so he refused to answer and listened to him sing the play alone.This settle down, want to say who most resemble an Zhi Ke, then only his elder brother an Chang Yu. An Changyu is smart since childhood, and is the eldest son's direct grandson. He is a star like existence in settling down. The only one who can compete with him in front of laotaijun is anchangqi of the second room. But even so, an Changyu's preference is also more, even the family's siblings are very respectful of this big brother, dare not make mistakes in front of him.

Once an Changqing was no exception.

Because an Changyu is the oldest, he has never bullied him and an Xianyu like those brothers and sisters. Occasionally I met him in the mansion and would smile at him. At that time, an Changqing naively thought that his elder brother didn't hate him and tried to get close to him, but he was frightened by his suddenly cold face. Later, she didn't dare to look for him.

It was only later that an Changqing came to understand that this elder brother also hated him. It's only the steadiness of his eldest son and grandchildren that keeps him outwardly kind.

Just like this time, since he has already returned to the government, he must have heard of Li's gratitude and resentment. But he can still chat with him in a warm spring breeze, and even recall the past with him.

An Changqing's eyes were cold, and she said, "unlike my elder brother, I feel more comfortable now, and I don't miss those days when I was young."

An Changyu smiles and says, "what about Haiyun? Don't you miss cousin Haiyun? "

An Changqing squinted slightly: "cousin Haiyun?"

"Yes." An Changyu said with emotion: "after several years of parting, I didn't expect that Haiyun's family would come to Yejing in the future. You don't know, do you? Hai Yun retired from the original marriage and said that he wanted to marry his beloved after he won the examination. It's just a pity... "

He said half, but did not say, turned to talk and stop looking at an Changqing.

An Changqing was not touched by this. He remembers Li Haiyun. He is the son of Li's elder brother. I came to settle down for a while. He is a very clear scholar.

In addition, the only one that impressed him was Li Haiyun, who was easy to hurt the spring and autumn. After they met on the porch by chance, Li Haiyun often liked to invite him to enjoy the scenery and write poems together. Because of Li's face, an Changqing could not refuse, so he could only sit with him and listen to some sour and incomprehensible poems.

Having said that, Li Haiyun has a good attitude towards him. However, due to the lessons of an Changqi, he always has a sense of preparedness for those who take the initiative to approach him, so the relationship between them is not very good.

An Changyu now specially mentions, he some does not understand, can only politely way: "is it? Then I wish cousin Haiyun high school as soon as possible and marry my sweetheart. " As for the unfinished words behind an Changyu, they are completely ignored by him.

An Changyu a choke, the facial expression is complex way: "Sea Cloud often think of you, you pour is early to throw the person behind, even his marriage unexpectedly also don't care."

An Changqing was even more puzzled: "but cousin Haiyun's marriage naturally has parents and mother's care, how can I have a reason to say so?"

“……” An Changyu originally wanted to test him, but Lao San's superficial Kung Fu became better and better, and he didn't see any flaws. Without achieving his goal, he could only smile a few times and said, "what the princess said is true. But when Haiyun goes to Beijing, the princess must come to the party. "

An Changqing always feels that there is something wrong with him mentioning Li Haiyun all the time, but he can't figure out what is wrong. They can only perfunctorily reply: "if I'm free, I'll come."

they separate at the corner of the corridor. An Changqing goes to find an Zhike, and an Changyu goes to the backyard.

An Zhike had been waiting in the flower hall. When he came, his expression changed.

Looking at his face, an Changqing sat down calmly and said with a smile, "my father asked me to come back to discuss yu'er's marriage?"

"Yes." Although holding his breath, an Zhike had to follow his words: "Wu Junshu's conduct is not good, and he has violated the criminal law. Now, besides his official position and fame, the loyal and brave Marquis's house has also been copied. It's too bad to be a good match."

An Changqing said, "not bad. The keepsake of the engagement shall be returned to the Wu family by his father. " Then he took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and handed it to him.

An Zhike took over Yujue and saw that an Changqing was ready to grow up. His heart was gnashing its teeth with hatred. But he used to hold the airs in the past. At this time, he was still in a good mood: "princess, don't worry, my father will deal with it."

An Changqing in the heart secretly smile, see his canthus a draw a draw, guess his in the heart certainly nest fire.

The two families have been engaged for a long time, and even the wedding is in preparation. If Wu Junshu proposed to withdraw his marriage when he was fighting for a widow with his uncle, it would be reasonable for him to take care of Wu Junshu's family. But now the Zhongyong Marquis's house has been seized, and Wu Junshu has lost his official position. If you don't mention settling down long ago or late, it's only at this time that you can wear a hat that you dislike the poor and love the rich.

In particular, an Zhike had a close relationship with Zhongyong Marquis before. Now his old friend is in trouble. Instead of seeing him help, he is anxious to get rid of the relationship and get down to the ground. I'm afraid his reputation will be damaged.

With him standing in front of her, an Xianyu would suffer less gossip. An Changqing this time poured is the sincere smile: "that thanks father."……

When she came out of an's home, an Changqing had a good air. After Yongle street, I went to sanweizhai to buy some snacks. Sanwei Zhai's staff saw that the corners of his mouth grinned to the back of his ears and insisted on adding a new bottle of plum blossom wine to him. When an Changqing wanted to give money, the man refused to accept it. He just said in a voice, "the princess likes to come back next time." an Changqing had no choice but to take two boxes of snacks and a bottle of plum blossom wine to the carriage.

As a result, when he came to the carriage, he found another pile of things in the driver's hand. Silk flowers, eggs and even a slice of fresh pork. I don't know who sent them. An Changqing looks around, but all the people around him smile at him. But an Changqing has no choice but to arch her hand and say, "thank you for your gifts, but don't send them next time. Please keep them at home."

After all, the eggs and pork are not cheap. Not every family can afford it.

Having said that, an Changqing thought about it, took the pile of things and put them in the carriage. Then he let the coachman drive back to the palace. After he left, he heard some people in the crowd say: "that's my pork, the princess took it!"

Some people rolled their eyes: "Tu laocai, you really can't get on the wall with mud. The pork is greasy and bloody. You dare to take it to the princess. The princess is kind-hearted. No one will find you out and beat you up!"

The butcher, who was called Tu laocai, stubbled his neck and retorted, "what's the use of sending silk flowers? Pork is real!"

How delicious pork is, how expensive it is!
