Chapter 770 Eccentric

The boxing ceremony years ago, Xie Zhiwei had someone deliver it when he was in Zhending Mansion. The letter was written by Xie Zhiqian, and it only explained some things at home. Originally, I wanted to see my eldest sister by myself, but my mother refused to let me.

For a while, Xie Zhiwei also missed the Xie family members, grandfather, and sisters very much, so he asked someone to send the letter to Xie Zhihui, so that Xie Zhihui could also read it.

Lu Yan wore a moon-white Taoist robe, with a blue silk sash tied around his waist, and his feather-like hair was half loosely draped behind him. He stood in front of the mahogany desk and drew pictures. He had never had such a leisurely moment in his life.

The majestic high mountains, the huts in the mountains, a few bushes of wild chrysanthemums inside the bamboo fence, a group of chickens are pecking happily, a round of red sun rises from behind the mountain, the sky is full of clouds, and a pine tree on the mountain looks more and more green and compelling.

Xiao Xun looked aside for a while, then took a brush and added two strokes. The two of them were just side by side, one white and one black, like a pair of Bi people.

After Lu Yan received the last brushstroke, he also put away the pen and applauded, "This "Snow Mountain Songyang Picture" has a profound artistic conception and profound brushwork. Brother, why didn't I know that your painting skills are so superb?"

Lu Yan rinsed the pen in the brush wash a few times, put it on the pen mountain, took the handkerchief from Mi Tuan, and wiped his hands, "There are so many things you don't know, let me tell you all of them? "

Xiao Xun stood in front of the table, appreciating carefully, no matter in terms of layout, lines, coloring or artistic conception, this painting can be regarded as a superior work.

The whole painting has clear layers, dense and dense, full of vitality in the autumn colors, showing a state of peace and joy.

"Brother, why don't you give me this painting!" After the ink on the painting dried, Xiao Xun picked it up and admired it against the light.

"What do I send you for? I don't want it myself?"

Mi Tuan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, the painting of the governor is going to be hung in the study."

"Where to hang it?" Xiao Xun looked around and saw that one wall was still blank, so he couldn't help laughing, "I saw a pair of "Golden Pheasant Picture" of the former emperor in Mei Mei's dowry. , I’ll help you come here, it’s just right for you to hang here.”

Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, a little helpless, "Forget it, take it if you want, the princess's dowry, don't make up your mind."

After a while, Xie Zhiwei asked someone to bring Chinese food over, and the mother-in-law who brought the food box said, "The princess said, today is really too busy, the men eat by themselves, and we will have a reunion dinner together in the evening."

Mituan set up a table in the flower hall, put the wine and dishes on the table, and lit a stove next to it, put a pot of peach blossom stuffing on it and simmered, the sweet fragrance filled the air, making people's index fingers twitch.

Xiao Xun and Lu Yan each sat down at the table. There were both northern and southern dishes on the table. Among them, a plate of roasted venison was best served with wine. On the ground, there is still unmelted snow.

The two chatted while drinking, and they drank until the sunset. Halfway through, Xie Zhiwei sent someone a piece of venison, and asked someone to set up a barbecue grill, and specially asked the people in the kitchen to come over and help them grill the meat.

On Xie Zhiwei's side, because she knew she was coming years ago, the person who delivered the New Year's goods sent all the New Year's gifts here. When she got married, the Xie family's dowry, among other things, prepared two copies of the furniture. Well, one copy has not been opened since it was sent to Zhending Mansion, and it was also sent here later, there is no shortage of furniture and other things.

She asked someone to open the storeroom, took out two screens, and set up two tables in the front main hall. The steps were covered with big fiery red lanterns, which were lit up before sunset. They were bright red, facing the door. The peach charms on it are very festive.

Seeing the time, Xie Zhiwei sent people to remind Xiao Xun and Lu Yan that it was time to take a bath and go to the ancestral hall, and then sent people to invite brothers Xiao Ke, Xiao Lingsu and others.

In the yard, there is a white stone corridor, with green pines and cypresses on both sides, and ancient bronze vessels on the platform.

There are five rooms in the front eaves, which are three crosses and six bowls with Linghua partition doors.

Xiao Xun presided over the sacrifice, Xiao Ke accompanied the sacrifice, and Xiao Wei presented the noble.

It was the first time for Xiao Wei to do it. Although someone reminded him, he was still nervous.

Lu Yan stood with his arms folded, looking at the titles of Lu Xiufu, Marquis of Dingyuan, and Princess An, in the room. His face was hidden in the darkness, and his expression was difficult to distinguish.

After the sacrifice was over, everyone went in to kneel and salute. After Xiao Xun came out, he accompanied Lu Yan and asked, "Brother, let's go in and salute!"

Lu Yan was about to refuse, when he turned his head, he saw Xie Zhiwei looking at him nervously, and the emotions that had been surging in his chest suddenly receded slowly like a tide.

Lu Yan stepped up and walked in, standing in front of Lu Xiufu, he looked at the image of the deceased, and for a while, the memory that he had deliberately forgotten rushed to his heart, his knees slowly bent down, and finally Kneeling on the futon, he closed his eyes and thought in his heart, "I can be very happy in this life!"

The reunion dinner was naturally lively, Xiao Xun and Lu Yan were both a little drunk, afterward, the yard was covered with sesame stalks, Rong stood under the eaves, watching the children stepping on the yard and breaking the sesame stalks, With a creaking sound, she waved to everyone, and took out the purses she had prepared, one for each person, each containing one thousand taels of lucky money.

When it was Xie Zhiwei's turn, the purse was different from others. Xiao Xun took a look at Xie Zhiwei's purse and snatched Xie Zhiwei's purse. Seeing that there was ten thousand taels of silver bills in it, he suddenly became sour, "Mother, are you too partial?"

It made everyone laugh.

Rong couldn't laugh or cry, "Your daughter-in-law has been with you for the past few years, but she has suffered a lot. From south to north, you have the nerve to care about it!"

Xiao Xun was just trying to make his daughter-in-law and mother happy, turned around and bowed to Xie Zhiwei, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is a lot of people, don't care about me as much, I promise not to let the princess do everything for me in the future!"

Xie Zhiwei pursed his lips and smiled, and after he finished speaking, he snatched the purse from his hand, "Stop coaxing me to give you the New Year's money!"

Xie Zhiwei sent bounties to the servants and servants at home, and everyone got more money than expected, and the whole mansion was full of joy.

Years later, people came from the capital one after another. I don't know when it started, the rumor that "the new emperor will ascend the throne in Yanjing" spread all over the country.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Xie Zhiwei came back from paying New Year’s greetings to Mrs. Cui, sat in front of the mirror and untied her hairpin, and listened to Bailing’s rumors on the street, and couldn’t help being very nervous.

Xiao Xun sat in the warm pavilion reading a book, absent-minded, and glanced here from time to time, and the two looked at each other in the mirror. She couldn't help asking, "Ah Xun, I don't know who said these words?"

The second update!
