"Madam, you are here!"
Hou Mansion, in the study.
Seeing Han Yuxi pushing open the door and entering, Li Zexuan forced a smile on his lips and said hello.
"When I heard that my husband had returned home, I went into the study and didn't come out for a long time. So I made a pot of tea and brought it to my husband to quench his thirst!"
Han Yuxi placed the tray with the tea cup on the table next to Li Zexuan. Then she saw that Li Zexuan seemed to have something on his mind, so she asked tentatively: "Mr. sir, has something happened?"
Li Zexuan shook his head and sighed: "Oh! That's right! A pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks! Now that my wife is here, she can help her husband grind ink!"
"Poor mandarin duck... yes! Mr. Xian!"
Han Yuxi was naturally puzzled when she heard this, but when she saw that Li Zexuan didn't seem to think much, she didn't ask further. Instead, she came to the desk and started to study ink for Li Zexuan.
In fact, although Li Zexuan can write calligraphy with a brush, he has long stopped using a brush for writing. After all, he is not used to using this thing. Of course, the most important thing is that the Qiquge Workshop has long made pencils and has them in the academy. Promoted and used!
Why use a writing brush when there is such a convenient writing tool as a pencil? Aren't you suffering
But this time, Li Zexuan had a reason to use a brush!
Because he was not writing to Wang Renbiao, but to Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an. The calligraphy looked more formal than the pencil calligraphy!
It's about his good brother's lifelong happiness, and Li Zexuan doesn't dare to be careless in the slightest!
"Huh~!"
After contemplating for a moment, Li Zexuan laid out the rice paper on the desk and started writing. Han Yuxi quickly looked at it carefully and saw Li Zexuan writing on it: "
The peacock flies southeast and lingers for five miles.
At thirteen he could weave, at fourteen he could tailor clothes, at fifteen he could play the harp, and at sixteen he could recite poetry. Seventeen is a gentleman's wife, and her heart is always filled with sorrow and sorrow. Since you are a government official, you will never waver in keeping your integrity. Your humble concubine will keep her room empty, and you will seldom see each other. The cock crows into the machine's weaving, and there is no rest every night. Five horses were cut off in three days, so I thought it was too late. If it is not because we are late in weaving, it will be difficult for your wife! If this concubine cannot be driven around and has nothing to do with me, then I can send you back in time..."
"This... isn't this "Jiao Zhongqing's Wife"? What did your husband mean by writing this?"
After watching it for a while, Han Yuxi couldn't help but be surprised in her heart.
Although she came from a farmer's family and was not able to receive some enlightenment education on poetry and books like other ladies from a young age, she had gained a lot of knowledge about the classics and meanings of poetry and books since she married into the Li family. It just so happened that she She happened to have seen the article "Jiao Zhongqing's Wife" before.
"The Peacock Flying Southeast" was also called "Jiao Zhongqing's Wife" in ancient times. There has always been controversy about the creation date of this Yuefu narrative poem. However, the common view among modern scholars is that the poem was written in the Six Dynasties period. At this time in the Tang Dynasty, some people Not surprising at all.
"Huh! I haven't written with a brush for a long time, I'm really not used to it!"
After about a cup of tea, a piece of "The Peacock Flying Southeast" written in neat small regular script appeared on the paper. Li Zexuan put down the brush, blew on the ink stains on the rice paper that had not yet dried, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ms. sir, you write this..."
Seeing that Li Zexuan seemed to have finished writing, Han Yuxi hurriedly finally had the opportunity to ask the questions in her heart.
Before she could finish speaking, Li Zexuan interrupted with a smile: "Haha! Don't ask, madam, my husband hasn't finished writing yet! You will understand in a moment!"
After that, Li Zexuan spread out another piece of rice paper, pondered for a moment, and then continued to write:
"The governor Wang and the eldest princess personally declare:
The junior suddenly heard that Renbiao was seriously ill again, and he was worried and uneasy. However, he had other important matters in Beijing and could not visit Qizhou in person, so he wrote a letter to ask some questions.
The month before last, I went north to kill the locusts, and I met Renbiao in Yongcheng. At that time, Renbiao had become ill with worry and was depressed. After I checked his pulse, I saw that Renbiao had a weak heart pulse and seemed to be about to die! Yu was shocked and hurriedly asked Renbiao about the cause of his heart disease. After knowing the cause and effect, Yu found Li Jingchu and helped Renbiao untie the knot in his heart, and Renbiao recovered.
Benevolent, kindhearted, honest and open-minded, he is my brother; Jingchu, with a delicate and orchid heart, soft inside and strong on the outside, is my sister-in-law. My brother and sworn sister, I should share the joys and sorrows with them, but when I hear the benevolence and Jingchu bear the pain of being separated, my heart aches!
These two people are in love with each other, respect and love each other. They are a perfect match, made in heaven. I sincerely hope that they can play the harp in harmony and grow old together! I really don’t want my brother and sister-in-law to become the second Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi!
Only in this way can Renbiao's heart disease be solved. Otherwise, Renbiao may not be around for long, and Jingchu may also follow in his footsteps! I swear that I will go down to the underworld to avenge my brother!
Yours sincerely, junior Li Zexuan! "
As the last word fell on the paper, Li Zexuan finally put down the brush and breathed a sigh of relief. This letter was a waste of too many of his brain cells!
Han Yuxi, who was standing aside, finally figured out the whole story through the words on the letter. She looked sad and asked softly: "Ms., is this a letter to the Governor Wang and Princess Tong'an?"
"Yeah! Exactly!"
Li Zexuan rubbed his eyebrows and responded.
Han Yuxi then asked: "Looking at the contents of the letter, is Mr. Wang seriously ill again? Moreover, Mr. Wang used Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi as a warning to the governor Wang and the eldest princess. Could it be that the marriage between Mr. Wang and sister Jingchu was ruined? ?”
Regarding the story of Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu, after Li Zexuan came back from the north, he told Han Yuxi several times. For these two people who finally got together, Han Yuxi naturally wished them the best from the bottom of his heart!
Li Zexuan nodded, and then sighed: "Yeah! Isn't it those damn family differences? It seems that these parents have to force their son to death before they give up! That's why my husband said before that this is a couple What a miserable mandarin duck!"
Han Yuxi suddenly understood. After a moment of silence, she spoke: "The family has a long history, and it may not be easy to change it in a short time! I just saw it in the letter, and Xianggong called Jingchu's younger sister his adopted sister. When did this happen? Why have I never heard my husband mention it?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Haha! Isn't this what just happened?"
Han Yuxi was startled for a moment, then she realized what she was doing and said slightly surprised: "Ms. sir, you... you..."
"Haha! In fact, it doesn't matter when my husband recognized this adopted sister. What matters is my husband's attitude towards this matter! Li Jingchu is just the daughter of a businessman. She is a child of a big family like Wu surname Qiwang. In terms of status, He is indeed unworthy, so as a husband, I can only give him a decent status!"
At this point, Li Zexuan paused, his eyes suddenly became serious, and he continued: "In addition, if I want people to know that if I want to "kill" my brother and sister-in-law, Li Zexuan, I have to take the responsibility accordingly. Prepare for the price! The Wang family is no exception!"
