Seeing that Li Shu was very interested in Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Zhu Ping'an gave Li Shu the "Ping'an Tie" as a gift as soon as he entered Jingxiang Garden.
This is the first time Zhu Ping'an gave himself a gift.
Zhu Ping'an gave me such an expensive gift without even blinking an eye, just because I showed a little interest.
Li Shu was so excited and moved that her heart was filled with joy. However, she pretended to be calm and said that the calligraphy was called "Ping'an Tie" and her name was Zhu Ping'an. The calligraphy was meant for you, so why did you give it to me
"That's right, that's why I have to give it to you." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, his words were a double entendre and there was something else hidden in his words.
"Bad guy..." Li Shu glanced at Zhu Ping'an, her eyes about to overflow with tears. She said coquettishly, took the "Ping'an Tie" in her hand, and asked Zhu Ping'an to write a colophon on the blank space between the calligraphy.
Zhu Pingan thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote in small regular script on the blank space between the lines of the calligraphy:
May you walk through half of your life and still be a young man when you return.
May you live a peaceful and trouble-free life!
—Xiahe Zhu Pingan
After Zhu Ping'an finished writing the postscript, Li Shu's eyes brightened. Without hesitation, she took out an exquisite portable seal and happily stamped her collection seal on Zhu Ping'an's postscript: "Shanghe Shuyao".
Li Shu left the calligraphy in the study and said she would have it reframed tomorrow and hang it in the study in the future.
During dinner, the naughty kid Rui Ge'er ate very fast. He started eating as soon as he sat on the table, wolfing down the food. Without reducing his food intake, he accelerated his speed to the maximum extent possible. Zhu Ping'an and the others had only eaten half of their food, but the naughty kid was already full. After eating, he wiped his mouth and ran to the study.
It is normal for children to play after eating. Zhu Pingan and his friends ignored the naughty kids and continued eating.
After dinner, Li Shu asked Qin'er and the others to spread the mat on the floor again, and prepared to sleep in the yard to cool off like last night.
"Bang..."
When the floor was laid and Zhu Ping'an and his friends were about to go to the yard to enjoy the cool air, they heard a bang in the study and a vague "Ah" from the naughty child.
What's wrong
Upon hearing this, Li Shu, Zhu Pingan and others quickly walked into the study to see what was going on.
After entering the study, I saw the naughty kid with his hands behind his back in panic. There was a copybook lying under the table, the inkstone on the table was overturned, and the ink stick was tilted to one side. A small amount of ink had flowed onto the table, staining a piece of rice paper black.
The "bang" sound just now was probably the sound of the copybook falling to the ground or the inkstone turning over.
“Oh, that is a copybook with every word worth a thousand gold coins, huh…” When the chubby little maid Huaer saw the copybook dropped on the ground, she cried out in pain, picked up the copybook by holding up her skirt and ran two steps quickly to pick it up. She checked it once and found it was intact, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, an inkstone worth a thousand gold coins... huh..."
As soon as the little maid Baozi stood up, she saw the overturned inkstone on the table. She checked it and found that it was a false alarm, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
at this time.
The naughty kid stood behind the table, looking at Zhu Pingan and others in panic, as if he had done something wrong and was caught, feeling guilty.
I was just preparing to grind the ink and practice calligraphy by following the calligraphy model...
Who knew grinding ink was so difficult? In my panic, I accidentally dropped the calligraphy copy on the ground, scaring myself and knocking over the inkstone.
It's broken. It's broken.
I seemed to be in trouble. The calligraphy copybook with one character enough to buy candied haws for a lifetime fell to the ground with a "pop", and the inkstone that was enough to buy candied haws for two lifetimes also fell over with a "bang"... Seeing how nervous Sister Huaer was, I heard that her country bumpkin brother-in-law was so poor that he had to borrow money from her fifth sister. He had worked so hard to earn such valuable calligraphy copybook and inkstone by writing poems... Wouldn't I be scolded by her country bumpkin brother-in-law
The key is that I haven't practiced my calligraphy yet, and I can't even grind the ink like this. How stupid and embarrassing! How will my sister Niuniu see me...
no
It's so embarrassing.
At this critical moment, the naughty boy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a great idea came to his mind.
"Ahem, just now, just now, a big gray rat suddenly jumped onto the table, knocked over the copybook, knocked over the inkstone, and then ran away..." The naughty child blinked his eyes and explained with a lack of confidence and guilt.
"hehe… "
Zhu Pingan couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He walked up to touch the kid's head, then pinched the kid's fat face and said with a smile, "Isn't that big rat three feet and one inch long, weighing more than 70 kilograms, with a chubby little face, small eyes, big ears, and when it tells a lie, its guilty little fat face turns red like a monkey's butt?"
"Hmm... it's that mouse... No, who's face is as red as a monkey's butt?!"
The naughty kid nodded repeatedly as he listened, feeling very happy in his heart. His country bumpkin brother-in-law was such a fool that he was fooled by him so easily... But as he listened, the naughty kid felt something was wrong. The more he listened, the more he felt that his country bumpkin brother-in-law seemed to be talking about him in a roundabout way. He even said that his face was like a monkey's butt. Humph, how could a monkey's butt compare to my face? He shook his head in anger and pulled his little fat face out of Zhu Ping'an's hands.
Chuck…
Seeing this, Li Shu, Huaer, Qiner and others could not help but stretch out their delicate hands to cover their mouths and giggle.
"Stupid Rui Ge'er... Please, when you lie, can you put down the ink stick in your hand first..."
Little Loli Niuniu glanced at the ink stick in the kid's hand, rolled her eyes at him, and complained in a childish voice. It's obvious that you made trouble when grinding ink, knocked over the copybook, knocked over the inkstone, and said something about a mouse. Do you think everyone is as stupid as you...
"Ah?! Ah..."
After hearing what the little Lolita Niuniu said, the naughty boy Rui Ge'er realized belatedly that he still had the ink stick in his hand, and quickly hid it behind his back, like a little fat pig with a super slow reaction time.
Of course, this hiding action was in full view of everyone.
Chuck…
Li Shu and others laughed even louder when they saw this.
The little Loli Niuniu was too lazy to roll her eyes. She turned her head away from him, as if she was drawing a line between herself and the naughty kid, indicating that she didn't know him.
Listening to the series of sweet laughter like silver bells in the room, the naughty child felt the deep malice of the whole world towards him.
certainly.
The naughty kid blamed all this on Zhu Pingan. Humph, it was all because of his country bumpkin brother-in-law who was too powerful, making him rack his brains to catch up. And just now, it was also his country bumpkin brother-in-law who deliberately said that to him, making the fifth sister and the others laugh, causing him to be laughed at...
After laughing, everyone figured out the whole story from the naughty kid's blushing confession.
Then, the naughty kid got permission from Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu to come to the study room at any time to look at calligraphy and practice writing.
My country bumpkin brother-in-law didn't even scold me?! He even allowed me to come to the study to look at calligraphy at any time?!
snort
That barely excuses you for saying my face looks like a monkey's butt.
The naughty child thought so proudly.
