Holding the scroll back to the main room, An Changqing wandered around trying to find a suitable place to hang the scroll. Xiao Zhige followed behind him, frowning unhappily: "This picture is not good. Next time the picture is good, hang it up."
"I think this picture is very good." An Changqing didn't care, holding the scroll on the wall to make a gesture, and said, "And if you paint it in the future, you can hang it here."
As he said that, he called the servants in and asked them to hang the painting.
"Unfortunately, I don't know how to paint." An Changqing looked up at the people who were adjusting their positions, and said, "Otherwise, I will also paint a portrait of the prince. Wouldn't it be good to hang two paintings next to each other? Or find a painter, It would be nice to draw a picture of both of us."
There was a bright smile on his face as he spoke, Xiao Zhige stared at him, and when he heard his words, his eyes flashed slightly.
When the servant hung the painting up, An Changqing was still not satisfied, so he moved it to the right. When he finally adjusted, he was satisfied, and asked An Fu to bring tea over to have a cup of tea with Xiao Zhige.
"Has your lord learned Danqing before?" An Changqing asked curiously, looking at the habitually silent man.
In fact, in his two lifetimes, he doesn't seem to know Xiao Zhige very well. Just like in his previous life, he had never seen Xiao Zhige take a paintbrush. This man is always chilling and cold. The calloused hands seem to be born with knives and guns, and never look like they can hold a paintbrush.
"I learned it when I was young." Xiao Zhige lowered his eyes and said lightly.
Although he was not favored, Xiao Zhige took classes with other princes when he was young. The Great Ancestor of Great Ye is the arrogant son of the heavens, a wise man with both civil and military skills and a reputation. As the descendants of the Great Ancestor, the princes naturally dare not fall into the prestige of the Great Ancestor. In addition to the necessary four books and five classics to be familiar with, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting and martial arts should not be left behind.
He was ignorant when he was young, and only knew that his father did not like him and his concubine, but he did not know the reason. Later, when he saw that his eldest brother was praised by his father for his outstanding studies, he also studied hard, hoping that his father would also praise him and go to see him and his concubine. It's just that he doesn't seem to have any talent for these elegant things, and he can't get a single compliment after spending a lot of effort.
After the death of his mother and concubine, he became more and more sensible. No longer do these unnecessary things, and only concentrate on practicing martial arts and studying the art of war.
Of course, he didn't intend to tell An Changqing about these old things and let An Changqing listen to it.
An Changqing was really happy to hear it, and asked again, "What else will Wangye do?"
"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are good, but not very good."
Unexpectedly, the King of Bei Zhan, who looked like a rude military general, could do such elegant things, and An Changqing felt more and more that he knew too little about him. But the more I know now, the more I feel that this man is like a hideous stone. The surface looks rough and ordinary, but you only need to peel off a little stone coat, you will find that there is a clear and precious jade hidden inside.
"But I don't know anything." An Changqing said with a bitter face, a little melancholy: "Except for reading more books, I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Will the lord dislike me?"
An clan study does not teach these things, most of the children who go to clan study go for the imperial examination and only learn the eight-legged essay. If you want to learn other things, you have to ask the master to teach. Just like An Changqing's eldest brother and second brother, and even the young masters of the other three rooms, they all have a master to teach. He is the only one who is unpleasant in the house, whether it is to invite the master to open a small stove or go out to play, he has no part in it.
Xiao Zhige frowned: "No."
He added, "If you want to learn, I will teach you."
An Changqing also sighed casually, but after hearing what he said, he couldn't help but think: "Really?"
Xiao Zhige made a "hmm" sound.
"Then let's start with Danqing?" An Changqing laughed: "When I learn it, I will also paint a portrait of the prince."
Xiao Zhige paused for a moment, then lowered his expression, and bent his lips in response: "Okay."
***
The day after Zhongyong Hou’s house was raided, An Changqing went to An’s house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he ran into the eldest brother, An Changyu, whom he had not seen in a long time. An Changyu is the eldest son of the Li family, six years older than him. After getting married, An Zhike took him to a place to practice, and he just returned to Beijing to report his work this year. Because his mother-in-law was seriously ill, he accompanied his wife to perform filial piety a few days ago, and only came back a few days ago.
Unexpectedly, it just happened to bump into An Changqing who came back.
An Changyu smiled and saluted, as if he didn't know anything about what happened in this mansion: "Third brother, oh no, is the princess staying safe?"
An Changqing also put on a smile, and replied lightly: "Everything is fine, where's eldest brother? How about being outside?"
"It's all good, it's all good." An Changyu smiled amiably, and followed him with a turn of footsteps: "It's just that it's hard in the field, and I've suffered a lot in the past three years. But I really came back, and again Some are not used to it. The mansion is very different from before I left. Thinking about the carefree days of our childhood, it is inevitable to feel carefree as a child."
He sighed like a fake, and An Changqing couldn't figure out what he wanted to say, so he didn't answer, and listened to him sing the play on his own.
In this An family, who is most like An Zhike is his eldest brother, An Changyu. An Changyu has been smart since he was a child, and he is also the eldest son and grandson. He is like a star holding the moon in the An family. The only one who can compete with him for favor in front of the old lady is An Changqi of the second room. But even so, An Changyu had more preferences, and even the younger siblings in the family respected this eldest brother very much and did not dare to make trouble in front of him.
The former An Changqing was no exception.
Because An Changyu is the oldest, he has never bullied him and An Xianyu like those brothers and sisters. Occasionally when he met him in the mansion, he would also give him a kind smile. At that time, An Changqing naively thought that his eldest brother didn't hate him, and tried to get close to him, but he was frightened by his suddenly cold face. No longer dare to take the initiative to find him.
It was only later that An Changqing gradually realized that this eldest brother actually hated him. It is only that he maintains the stability of his eldest son and grandson, and that he maintains the superficial kindness.
Just like this time, since he has already returned to the house, he must have heard the grievances and grievances from the Li family during this period of time. But he was still able to chat with him in a genial manner, and even reminisce about the old days with him.
An Changqing's eyes turned cold, and she said indifferently, "I'm different from my eldest brother. Instead, I feel more comfortable now, and I don't miss those days when I was young."
An Changyu smiled for a while, and then said, "What about Haiyun? Cousin Haiyun, you don't miss it anymore?"
An Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly: "Cousin Haiyun?"
"Yeah." An Changyu said with emotion: "After a few years, I didn't expect the Haiyun family to come to Yejing after a year. Don't you know? Haiyun retired from the original marriage, saying that they wanted to It's just a pity to marry the person you love after taking the exam..."
Halfway through his words, he didn't say anything, and instead looked at An Changqing before he could say anything.
An Changqing was not touched by this. He remembered Li Haiyun. He is the son of Li's maiden brother. I used to live in An's house for a while. He is a very clear reader.
In addition, the only thing that impressed him was that Li Haiyun was very easy to hurt the spring and the autumn. After the two met on the porch by chance, Li Haiyun often liked to invite him to enjoy the scenery and write poems together. An Changqing was obstructing Li's face, and it was difficult to refuse, so he could only sit by the side and listen to him write some sour and incomprehensible poems.
Having said that, Li Haiyun's attitude towards him is not bad. But because of An Changqi's lessons, he always had a bit of guard against those who took the initiative to approach him, so the relationship between the two could not be said to be very good.
Now that An Changyu mentioned it specially, he was a little confused, so he could only politely say: "Really? Then I wish Cousin Haiyun an early high school and marry his sweetheart." As for An Changyu's unfinished words, he ignored it. completely.
An Changyu choked up and said with a complicated expression: "Hai Yun is always thinking about you, but you have already left people behind, and you don't even care about his marriage."
An Changqing was even more inexplicable: "But Cousin Haiyun's marriage is naturally cared by his parents and mother. How can I make a bet?"
"..." An Changyu originally wanted to come and test him, but the third child's superficial skills got better and better, and he didn't even see any flaws. Failing to achieve his goal, he could only laugh a few times and said, "What the princess said is true. But when Hai Yun goes to Beijing, the princess must admire her face and come to have a small gathering."
An Changqing always felt that something was wrong with him mentioning Li Haiyun all the time, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He could only answer perfunctorily: "If I have time, I will definitely come,"
The two separated at the corner of the corridor, An Changqing went to find An Zhike, and An Changyu went to the backyard.
An Zhike was already waiting in the flower hall, and when he saw him, his expression changed.
Looking at his face, An Changqing sat down calmly and said with a smile, "My father called me back to discuss Yu'er's marriage?"
"Yes." Although holding his breath, An Zhike had no choice but to follow his words: "Wu Junshu has misbehavior and violated the criminal law. Now that he has been cut off from officials, in addition to his fame, the house of the Marquis of Zhongyong has also been raided. "
xiaoshuting.la
An Changqing said, "That's right. Father will return the betrothal token to the Wu family." As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and handed it over.
An Zhike took over the jade, and seeing An Changqing's heart-wrenching look, he gritted his teeth in hatred. It's just that he was used to putting on airs in the past, but at this time, no matter how he hated his face, he still had a peaceful look on his face: "Don't worry, Princess, I will take care of it for my father."
An Changqing smiled secretly in his heart, and when he saw the corners of his eyes twitching, he guessed that there must be anger in his heart.
The two have been engaged for a long time, and they are even planning a wedding. If Wu Junshu had proposed to break off the marriage when Wu Junshu was arguing with his uncle for widowhood, it would make sense that the An family could still hold Wu Junshu to raise the outer room. But now the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong has been confiscated, and Wu Junshu has lost his official position again. An Jia didn't mention it early or late, but it happened at this time. A hat that hated the poor and loved the rich was determined to be worn.
In particular, An Zhike had always had a close relationship with Marquis Zhongyong. Now that his old friend was in trouble, he was anxious to clear the relationship without his help. This time An Xiangguo's reputation would be damaged.
With him in the front, An Xianyu would suffer less gossip. This time, An Changqing smiled sincerely: "Then there is Lao father."
…
After coming out of An's house, An Changqing looked refreshed. When passing Yongle Street, I also went to Sanweizhai to buy dim sum. The guys at Sanweizhai saw that the corners of his smiling mouth went to the back of his ears, so he insisted on adding a bottle of new plum wine to him. When An Changqing wanted to give the money, the guy refused to accept it, and only said, "The princess likes to come back next time."
As a result, when he walked to the carriage, he found that the driver had another pile of stuff in his hand. Silk flowers, eggs, and even a fan of freshly cut pork. I don't know who gave them all. An Changqing looked around, but the people around him smiled at him. An Changqing was helpless, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the gifts, but don't give them next time, everyone. Keep it for yourself."
After all, eggs and pork aren't cheap either. Not everyone can afford it.
After speaking, An Changqing thought for a while, took the pile of things and put them in the carriage before letting the driver drive back to the palace. After he left, he heard someone in the crowd happily say: "That's my family's pork, the princess accepted it!"
Someone rolled his eyes: "Tu Laocai, you are really muddy and can't support the wall. That pork is greasy and bloody. You dare to take it to the princess, and the princess has a good heart and didn't ask anyone to pull you out and beat you!"
The butcher called Tu Laocai retorted dissatisfiedly with his neck stuck in his throat: "What's the use of sending silk flowers, pork is the real thing!"
How delicious pork is, but also expensive!
The author has something to say: Well, many fans gave me gifts today, including silk flower eggs and pork! Pork is precious now! What did your fans give you
