Chapter 71 She really cares about him
"Second brother, have you heard about the blind box?" Wei Ruo asked.
"I heard a little bit." Wei Jin also said.
Xiaobei on the side added: "Miss, Madam bought seven or eight boxes for the young master, no matter how closed our news is, we will still hear the news."
"I see." Wei Ruo was not surprised at all, she had heard the content of the conversation between Yun and Wei Yichen that day, and naturally knew that they would definitely be interested in the Tibetan Layman.
"Does Ruo'er also want to draw the calligraphy of the Layman in the Tibetan Forest?" Wei Jin also asked.
"The Tibetan Layman's calligraphy is indifferent, but the recommendation letter is more important. After getting the recommendation letter, the second brother can worship the Tibetan Layman as a teacher." Wei Ruo replied.
"Do you want me to worship Tibetan Lay Layman as my teacher?" Wei Jin also asked.
"Didn't the second brother change his mind recently and plan to take the imperial examination? Then even if you don't really learn anything, you can help the second brother by asking a master." Wei Ruo said.
"Um."
"Second brother doesn't like apprenticeship?" Wei Ruo asked.
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo, saw her joyful expression, and also saw the expectation in her eyes.
"If it's suitable, you can learn from a teacher, but you don't have to force it. Ruo'er doesn't have to pay too much attention to avoid disappointment." Wei Jin also replied.
"Second brother, open it quickly, I'm also curious about my luck!"
Wei Ruo was curious, she really didn't know what was in the blind box she picked at random.
After the boxes were assembled, there were no special signs to identify them, so even Wei Ruo, the planner, didn't know which box was the one containing the calligraphy of the Tibetan monk.
Under the gaze of Wei Ruo's curious gaze, Wei Jin also opened the box. Inside was the Four Treasures of the Study of Sibaozhai, all four of which were available.
Wei Ruo looked at it, "Okay, I'm really lucky, I don't lose money if I have paper, and this inkstone is also the one with a higher price, so I don't lose money."
Xiaobei couldn't help but said: "Miss, you are happy just with the paper. If you really get the box with the layman in the Tibetan forest, how happy you will be!"
"One must be content, this kind of thing that depends entirely on luck, you can't ask for too much, if you run out of luck, it will be useless in other places, we'd better save it!" Wei Ruo said.
"You are right." Wei Jin also smiled slightly, "These things are pretty good."
"Anyway, I registered your name, second brother, and you might be attracted to it later." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"Don't pay too much attention to it. Even if you get that letter, you may not be able to succeed as a teacher. Maybe it's the exaggerated words of that shop."
Wei Jin also didn't want Wei Ruo to put too much expectation on this matter, so as not to be disappointed if his hopes failed later.
"Second brother, don't worry. I've inquired about it. That store is quite reliable. Layman Tibetan rarely sells his works. Most of the people who can get his calligraphy are his close relatives and friends, so the recommendation letter works. The possibility is very high.”
"Since Ruoer thinks there is no problem, I will look forward to it." Wei Jin also changed his words.
"Yeah, that's right, second brother, look forward to it." Wei Ruo said with a smile.
"Yeah." Wei Jinyi had a slight smile on his face, and his eyes were fixed on Wei Ruo.
She always seems to be thinking of him, thinking of him first in everything, worrying about him and joy for him, and sheds a ray of light into his dark and boring life.
###
At the same time, on the other side of Xiaowei's mansion, there are also people who are worrying about these boxes.
At the most southwest corner of Xiaowei's Mansion, in Aoju Garden, Wei Yichen is sorting the four treasures of the study in the seven boxes in front of him.
He bought a total of seven of the blind boxes sold by Sibaozhai. Of course, he didn’t buy all of them in his own name. He only bought two in his own name. Later, his mother and Wanwan each bought two more. His classmates and friends presented it to him.
Now all the seven blind boxes have been opened, and there is no calligraphy of the layman in the Tibetan forest, but the things inside are not bad.
The value is more than five taels, and some are less than five taels. Generally speaking, there is not too much loss.
Although I was a little disappointed that the ink treasures that did not reach the Layman in the Tibetan forest were not opened, they were not too sad.
What he wants now is that letter of recommendation from Young Master He You.
It's a pity that no matter how many boxes you buy, you can only leave one name, which is the same as other buyers.
Wei Qingwan brought her maid, Cui He, to Aoju Garden to visit Wei Yichen, and when she saw the box, she asked, "How is the eldest brother, do you have any calligraphy that has been opened to lay Buddhists in the Tibetan Forest?"
Wei Yichen shook his head: "No."
Wei Qingwan hurriedly comforted: "Brother, don't be discouraged. The calligraphy, painting and calligraphy of Layman in the Tibetan forest may be a gimmick used by the store to attract sellers. It may not be really put in, and everyone may not be able to open it in the end."
Wei Yichen has a different idea: "I think the owner of that store has an idea. Last time they also took out the authentic works of Tibetan Layman. There is no reason to make a fake one this time."
Wei Qingwan changed her tune: "Then I don't know who will be so lucky to get this work."
Wei Yichen said: "Compared with calligraphy, I would like to directly learn from the monks in the Tibetan forest. I had this idea earlier, but I suffered from no way. Now that I have a letter of recommendation, I will fight for it."
"Brother is so outstanding, if that layman in the Tibetan forest sees you, he will definitely like you, appreciate you, and be willing to accept you as his closed disciple." Wei Qingwan said.
Wei Yichen smiled wryly: "That's not necessarily the case. The so-called heaven and man are beyond the sky. I live in a corner of Taizhou Prefecture now. I have very limited experience and experience, and I have no way of knowing what level I am."
"In my heart, elder brother will always be the best, and I also read books. Although I don't have others to compare with, I still have books to compare with. I believe that even if he leaves Taizhou, elder brother may not fall behind." Wei Qingwan road.
Wei Yichen smiled and stopped refuting. It doesn't matter if he listens to these words in the hearts of his family, he can't take them seriously.
"By the way, is Ruo'er back?" Wei Yichen asked.
"It should be back. I saw my sister's maid when I was passing by Tingsongyuan just now." Wei Qingwan replied, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother asked sister what's the matter?"
"It's nothing else, but I bought seven boxes at once. There are a lot of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. I will take some to Ruo'er, she will need them for her studies recently."
As Wei Yichen said, he sorted out the pens, inks, papers and inkstones that he had divided into two identical copies, and packed them in the vacated wooden box.
"This one is for you, and this one I'll give to Ruo'er." Wei Yichen said to Wei Qingwan.
"Thank you...thank you, big brother." Wei Qingwan thanked her while staring at the other copy in Wei Yichen's hand, always feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.
