Chang Zhong and his brother-in-law were already standing in front of the desk. The paintings on the desk were plum blossoms. Chang Zhong whispered: "Most of Mr. Gu's paintings are plum blossoms."
Jiang Sheng looked at the painting in front of him and began to cherish his talents, "Master Gu is a plum lover."
The pride of the plum blossoms rushes towards my face, as if I am a plum blossom standing in the cold wind, noble and arrogant.
Chang Zhong turned around when he heard the footsteps and saw the man in a long gown beside Gu Sheng, "Who is this?"
Before Gu Sheng could introduce him, Mr. Ji spoke first, "I come from Yizhou together with Mr. Gu. We are candidates in the same period. My name is Ji Deming."
Gu Sheng's face felt a little uncomfortable. Mr. Ji was too eager and worried about what Mr. Zhou and Mr. Jiang would think of him.
Chang Zhong, "Mr. Ji came out wearing a long gown. It's so cold that you don't have to worry about getting cold. Come in quickly and don't stand at the door."
Mr. Ji was indeed cold. He was afraid of being discovered by people in the same courtyard, so he hurried over and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Gu Sheng was not sure what the Master of the Hou Mansion was thinking. He didn't think that the Marquis of Zhou could not see what Master Ji was thinking. He followed up and closed the door with his lips pursed. The light in the room was not affected. The windows in this courtyard were glass windows.
Chang Zhong didn't like paintings as much as his brother-in-law was obsessed with them. He sat by the window drinking tea. Jiang Sheng ignored his brother-in-law and waved to Gu Sheng, "I have a few things I want to ask you."
Gu Sheng didn't care about Mr. Ji. He nodded to Mr. Zhou and walked to the desk quickly, "Sir, may I ask."
Jiang Sheng pointed to several places on the painting and asked carefully. The more Gu Sheng listened, the more he understood.
Chang Zhong glanced at it and took out the dried meat from his purse, without any intention of speaking.
Mr. Ji finally managed to get in touch with the young master of Zhouhou Mansion, so he was unwilling to just sit there and said, "Brother Gu can win the favor of the young master, I am happy for brother Gu."
Chang Zhong looked at Mr. Ji with a half-smile but not a smile. No matter how well this man concealed himself, he could not hide the jealousy in his eyes, "I don't know much about Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu always surprises me every time I meet him. How long has it been?" Mr. Gu rented a small independent courtyard, and I like people who are self-reliant."
Mr. Ji, "..."
Is the Prince of the Hou Mansion ordering him
Ji Deming looked at the glass window and felt more and more jealous. This small courtyard with three rooms cost five taels of silver a month, all because the small courtyard had glass windows. The courtyard he rented was very dark when the door was closed and the room was very dark. He wanted to live here, Gu. The young master refused directly, and Ji Deming's smile was a little forced.
Suddenly I heard, "Sell this painting to me and I will pay twenty taels of silver."
This is what Jiang Sheng said. He really likes this painting. Although there are still many flaws, it has insufficient artistic conception. Twenty Liang is very high.
Gu Sheng said hurriedly: "You have given me a lot of advice, where can I sell you a painting? I will give this painting to you, sir."
Jiang Sheng raised his hand, "If you say that, I won't dare come again."
As he spoke, he touched his purse. Halfway through, his hand froze and he raised his eyes to look at his brother-in-law.
Chang Zhong burst into laughter. His brother-in-law went out without a purse and signaled his servant to bring out the money. Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "I'll give it to you when I get back."
Mr. Ji, "..."
This is twenty taels? Heartache!
In Zhouhou's Mansion, Zhulan holds Yulu's youngest son Wang Zhuoqing. This child is plump and looks like a ball wearing a thick winter coat. "This child is stocky."
Yu Lu, "This child has a very good appetite. He drinks a lot of milk and eats a lot of complementary foods. Every time he diagnoses Ping'an Pulse, the doctor says that this child has a good spleen and stomach. There are very few strong children in the capital."
Zhulan smiled, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, but I see you are thinner than last time I saw you."
Yulu explained: "My granddaughter has grown taller, and the two children are noisy, so she has lost weight."
Ms. Li has always been chubby, and she is particularly envious of thin women. "It would be better to be thinner."
Yulu really didn't lose weight on purpose. She relied on her youth and good foundation to recover so quickly after giving birth twice.
Everyone heard the giggles and looked at Wang Zhuoping who was playing hide and seek. The little guy was very happy. There were few children in the Wang Mansion, so Zhuoping was quite lonely. Although he also found a member of the clan to accompany him, he was cautious around the little guy. Yes, children are sensitive to boredom. When they come back to Zhou's house, there are many uncles and aunts, so the little guy will naturally have fun.
Li will go to Wang's house once a month and knows how much Wang Yu attaches importance to her grandson. "I have never seen Zhuoping so happy in Wang's house."
Yu Lu sighed, "The Wang family has too few children, and Zhuo Qing is small. Zuoping is indeed lonely."
Mrs. Li thought about how the old man of the Wang family had to take his grandson with him wherever he went. She felt sorry for his grandson, but did not tell her daughter to take the child home often.
Zhulan asked Yulu, "You brought the child back, not just for us to see the child, right?"
Yu Lu nodded, "There is a girl of the right age in the Wang clan who is not engaged. The Yong'an Palace sent a post about tea tasting. Since I didn't receive the post, I asked the old lady to let me take care of her."
When Su Xuan heard this, she said, "Are you taking it here to show it to some officials and their family members?"
Yulu nodded, "Well, I hope I can see a better person."
It is not uncommon for people to look at each other at banquets, and most of them start with the female family members at banquets.
Su Xuan understood that Yulu came back specially to inform her.
The next day, the Yong'an Imperial Palace became the focus of the capital. It was the first time in many years that such a large-scale banquet was held. The Yong'an Imperial Palace also wanted to use the banquet to return to the capital's sight.
Zhuo Guyu's recent debates have made his presence felt, and he has built a good momentum, attracting many families with girls to be married. Many people went to this tea party with a purpose, especially to find out about the Duke's Mansion. There are many good times.
Su Xuan and her daughter were sitting in the carriage. Yudie and Yuyi did not go. They were already engaged and did not want to join in the fun. Yujiao wanted to go, but unfortunately she was too young.
The carriage stopped near the Duke's Mansion. Yuwen came down wearing a cloak and holding a heater in her arms. She was wearing a fiery red cloak that was very conspicuous. There was no stray hair on the cloak, which showed the value of the cloak.
Seeing her daughter's radiant look, Su Xuan's eyes couldn't be more proud, "Are you cold?"
Yuwen shook her head, "It's not cold."
Su Xuan looked at the long carriage and said, "The Yong'an Duke's Mansion will be lively after today."
Yuwen looked at the vast Guogong Mansion and sneered, "It's fun to see."
Su Xuan came late on purpose. She didn't want the carriage to be blocked in front of her. She walked all the way and didn't see the palace's carriage, so she turned to look at her daughter.
Yuwen looked in the direction of the palace and lowered her voice, "This is the attitude of the royal family."
Su Xuan nodded, so unless the Supreme Emperor dies, the status of the Yong'an Duke's Mansion will remain the same.
In the Ministry of Husbandry, Zhou Shuren was very surprised to see the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He didn’t have much contact with the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. “Why do you have time to come to the Ministry of Finance today?”
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice smiled and said, "The Ministry of Justice is not busy recently. I passed by the Ministry of Finance today and came in to ask for a cup of tea."
