"What's the important thing for Prince Duan to come to Jiangnan this time?"
"This is the first time Prince Duan has come to Jiangnan, right? But do you think the scenery in Jiangnan is good?"
"If Prince Duan is free, how about we get together tomorrow? The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is completely different from that in Kyoto, especially the scenery on the lake. Is Prince Duan interested?"
"I wonder how long Prince Duan will stay in Jiangnan this time?"
…
Qi Shaodong had a good birthday party, but because of the appearance of Prince Duan's son, everyone's eyes were diverted, and they all went to please King Duan. Looking at it, Qi Shaodong felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He always felt that he was deliberately ignored. In his heart, he felt honored because he invited Prince Duan to come to his house, but now he was a little jealous of Prince Duan. Let's stay here for a while, I have some guest rooms in my house, the prince will not dislike it, so I will live here, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord."
Although he was jealous in his heart that Prince Duan had robbed him of his light, Qi Shaodong also knew that he was a little bit worse than Prince Duan, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
"No need, I have my own other courtyard here!" Prince Duan's attitude was very cold, and he refused very simply. Qi Shaodong suddenly felt very embarrassed, "Haha, really? I didn't know there was such a thing. As for the matter, if this is the case, then I will definitely come to visit some other day!" Hmph, what's the big deal, isn't it just that you were born noble? What's so great about being born
Qi Shaodong has always been a proud and arrogant person, and he was unhappy with King Duan's lack of face, but he had to keep a smile on his face, not to mention how aggrieved he was. But no matter whether he was with the smiling face or what, Prince Duan didn't give him any face. He just sat there quietly and said very little, but the temperament around him could attract everyone's attention in an instant. It made Qi Shaodong even more depressed.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have called the other party over. What's going on now? Originally, I was the protagonist today, but now
Seeing that even his younger sister couldn't leave Prince Duan's eyes, Qi Shaodong glanced at Shen Jingshu worriedly. Seeing that Shen Jingshu kept her head down, not knowing what she was thinking, Qi Shaodong immediately comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, Shen Jingshu." The younger sister has always only had him in her heart, and she has not been fascinated by Prince Duan.
But he couldn't let this situation go on, Qi Shaodong thought for a while, thought of something, looked at Shen Jingshu's extraordinarily kind and kind face, "Sister Shen, are you here?" He looked expectantly at the gift on Shen Jingshu's body, but he didn't see it. Instead, he saw a very delicate box in Chunxiao's hand. Qi Shaodong became more and more happy when he thought about the things inside.
Hehe, wait for him to open the gift in a while, and see if everyone's eyes are still on him? This time, he took a fancy to a pair of calligraphy and painting that Shen Wenhua got not long ago. The calligraphy and painting were left by a famous calligrapher in the previous dynasty. .
Seeing that what Shen Jingshu brought seemed to be calligraphy and painting, Qi Shaodong felt relieved.
Hehe, when the calligraphy and painting come out, won't it attract everyone's attention
Thinking this way in his heart, the smile on Qi Shaodong's face became more sincere. Looking at Shen Jingshu's eyes, he naturally became more kind, "Sister Shen, didn't you all say that you don't need to bring gifts? Why are you still so polite?" ? The things you gave me in the past were really too expensive. The Zihao brush last time and the Jiangnan ink fragrance last time were too expensive... "
Qi Shaodong like this also has the meaning of showing off. Shen Jingshu is the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and Shen Wenhua is the Sanyuan Jidi who was very popular back then, and she married the daughter of Shan Daru. In addition, the Shen family is a century-old noble family in the capital, Shen Jingshu's identity Naturally, he is considered very tall among these people. And he alone can get Shen Jingshu's favor, which is of course a capital worth showing off for a man!
Qi Shaodong saw the changes in the eyes of everyone looking at him, and he was complacent. After thinking about it for a while, the eyes of everyone looking at him were even more different. Something valuable, right? Forget it, you always do this, I'm really ashamed... "
Although he was eager for Shen Jingshu to take it out and take a look, Qi Shaodong also knew what to do on the surface. Otherwise, how could he have found so many treasures from Shen Jingshu in so many years
Shen Jingshu saw Qi Shaodong's greedy expression in her eyes, her heart was full of contempt, but her face was innocent with a smile on her face, "Brother Shaodong, no matter what the gift is, as long as Brother Shaodong likes it. I spent a lot of money on it." It took a lot of work to prepare, I hope Brother Shaodong can accept my heart, otherwise I will be sad!" Shen Jingshu cooperated with Qi Shaodong in speaking, Qi Shaodong listened, and he was sure that the things Shen Jingshu sent were of great value, standing Qi Xueyan, who was beside him, exclaimed in order to draw everyone's attention to her, "God, Jingshu, don't you really want to give my brother the calligraphy and painting of the former calligrapher Wang Xizhi?"
Regarding this gift, Qi Xueyan and Qi Shaodong had been informed in advance, and Qi Xueyan had also hinted to Shen Jingshu intentionally or unintentionally. It's always been like this before, every time Shen Jingshu gave a gift that was in line with the wishes of the siblings, it wouldn't be a surprise this year.
"This, Brother Shaodong will know it after reading it!" A little bit of embarrassment crossed his face, and Shen Jingshu's behavior made everyone even more curious. When Qi Shaodong received the gift, he still didn't forget to blame Shen Jingshu for spending too much money. Looking at everyone's envious eyes, Qi Shaodong's vanity was greatly satisfied.
"Hehe, brother Qi opened our eyes today!" Everyone is the son of officials, but here in Jiangnan, there are not many high officials. Although there are some collections at home, how can they compare with the magistrate Shen Wenhua
Many men looked at Qi Shaodong's eyes with indescribable envy, and everyone knew something about it. Shen Jingshu Qi Shaodong had always been good, and everyone could only feel envious and jealous.
Hey, who made them not have this blessing to be favored by Miss Shen
"Yeah, brother Qi, hurry up and let me open my eyes. The master has been teaching us calligraphy these few days. It's great to be able to learn from seniors!"
"Master Qi, don't hide your secrets!"
…
"Hehe, don't worry, since everyone is here today, let's take a look together!" Qi Shaodong looked at everyone's eyes with satisfaction, and slowly opened the exquisitely packaged gift under everyone's urging.
The packaging of this gift is very delicate, and Shen Jingshu also made Chun Xiao wrap a few more layers as a prank. However, Qi Shaodong had no choice but to be patient and peel off layer by layer. However, after seeing the ordinary rice paper after tearing it apart, Qi Shaodong's joy, which was full of joy, suddenly became embarrassing.
"This..." There was silence all around, everyone looked at the simple sentence on the rice paper, each with different expressions, and Qi Shaodong's expression was also full of weirdness. However, due to Qi Shaodong's status, he naturally dared not say anything more. After all, in this place in the south of the Yangtze River, Qi Shaodong's status is much more noble than many people!
However, among the crowd, there are some who are not afraid of Qi Shaodong, such as Prince Duan, when he saw the rice paper, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Prince Duan's mouth, "Master Qi, are you joking with everyone? This is the first time I saw Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and painting!"
