Since the last time he asked Cui Yuan to come to Beijing to give gifts, Cui Xie has written down Xie Qianhu's address.
I was supposed to visit him when I went to Beijing, but this time I came back for the case. When I got home, I was performing a ceremony at the Ministry of Rites, going to the palace, and going back to my hometown to worship my ancestors... In addition, there was Mr. Cui hanging around at home. However, he was afraid of unforeseen complications, so he kept delaying the trip. Now that Senator Cui has taken up his post in Yunnan, it is just in time for the holiday of the Imperial College, which is the day of the visitors, and it is not too late to talk about their study after seeing the visitors.
Cui Qi and the shopkeeper Xiaoji also came by car, and Cui Xie simply carried the gift to their car and sent the driver home. Because he said that he was going to give gifts to Xie Qianhu, the shopkeeper Xiaoji thought that his gifts were not very lively and did not look like a gift, so he bought a new basket of chayote and two boxes of Shouzi Zhuanxiang on his behalf. Four boxes of dim sum and a few ivory ornaments.
Ji Duyuan also wanted to ask him to buy a rhinoceros belt, Cui Xie picked a few, but they were not very satisfactory, so he just waited for the clothes to be drawn and made them according to the movie. He threw down those belts, bought a pair of rhino horn cups instead, and led the two of them to the gate of Xie's house.
Although the doorman didn't recognize them, his eyes lit up immediately when he saw the words "Cui Xie, a student of the Imperial College Supervisor" on the post: "It turned out to be the case head Cui who wrote "Four Books and Sentences"! The case head, please come in and sit down, my lord. I went to Zhenfu Si Yamen in the morning, and I'll be back soon."
Cui Xie found out the money and wanted to reward him, so the inkstone was sent first. That door quickly declined: "Our adults have always respected the book of the desk, and the family often misses you when you are old. How can I ask for your money."
The two parties exchanged a few polite words, and then the doorman accepted the money and led them to the living room to sit. Most of the Xie family had heard the name of Cui Xie and knew his general situation. When they saw the doorman leading a 16- or 17-year-old boy into the door, they immediately guessed whether his surname was Cui.
Xie Shan recognized him, so he greeted him from a distance and shouted, "Young Master Cui, why did you come to see our master?"
Cui Xie said with a smile, "It turned out to be Big Brother Xie. I haven't seen Qianhu for a long time in Beijing, so I came to visit today."
Cui Qi also called him "Uncle Xie Shan" with a smile. Only the shopkeeper Xiao Ji had never seen him very much. He was still a little reserved in Jin Yiwei's yard and bowed his head to greet him respectfully.
Xie Shan replied with a spring breeze on his face. How many times he ran back and forth to Qian'an, and now that Cui Xie came to the door in person, he knew that he would no longer have to run in the future.
The old steward of the Xie family also wanted to come and see what the prodigy who hooked up with their thousands of households to study looked like. He personally led people to deliver tea and fruit, sat in the side hall and accompany Cui Xie to say a few words, and asked him why he wanted to see them. Thousands of households.
Cui Xie smiled and said, "I should have come to visit Qianhu earlier, but something happened at home and I have never been able to work hard. Now that I have caught up with the prince's resting, I brought some gifts to visit, and I hope the old man will pass it on to Qianhu for me. "
Cui Qi presented the newly-written gift list on his behalf, and the old steward got up and accepted it, and said with a smile: "Cui Qian is very polite, when the adults come back, the old man will take everything to show him, and he can't live up to the office. Kindness."
He glanced at the gift list and saw that it was all things that could be bought on the market, not the books and paintings of the past, so it was a pity that he couldn't help it.
The two paintings that I sent before are much better than these vulgar things, and thousands of them also liked it. This young master Cui loved to send paintings in Qian'an, why didn't he send them away when he entered Beijing
He thought about Xie Ying wholeheartedly, and because he was old and a family member, he asked with a face: "Actually, we Qianhu prefer the paintings and books of the desk, and the two paintings have been hung in the interior to enjoy. After that, the "Four Books of Dialogues" that came out was even more reluctant to leave. The old slave asked a question, is there any new work in the case now?"
Cui Xie's heart moved, and he replied: "I'm not very busy with my homework now, and I'm learning to draw a large-scale portrait of life. If the thousand households don't give up, I'd like to draw one for him. It's just that I can't judge him based on these eyes. He is tall, short, fat and thin, so he is afraid that his figure will be ugly and not look like him.”
Seeing that he was willing to take on the contract and wanted to draw such a big picture, Manager Xie said happily, "Do I remember his size! When I write it down for you... The horse-riding picture you drew last time is very beautiful, It would be even better if you could draw someone wearing an official uniform, wearing a silver flower, wearing a python belt, and holding a jade Guigui."
Cui Xie shook his head and said professionally, "Everyone wears official uniforms when they paint portraits, so they don't look good. People like Qianhu look better when they dress more romantically. When the cloak comes, make sure to wear it and raise your color, so others can't catch up with the horse."
Xie Guanshi said: "How does it look good in the sticker? It's better to be straight in official clothes and solemn. When it's like Gu Changkang painting people, it's more elegant to add a few stalks to his cheeks."
What is the aesthetic of adding a beard? Gu Kaizhi added a beard to him when he painted Pei Kai, that was because he was not a realist, he was a realist, but Xie Qianhu had to paint what he looked like!
At most, just add a microdermabrasion and a filter...
In short, their artists can't bow their heads to Party A!
Cui Xie didn't mention his beard, and said sternly: "The old man thinks wrong, wearing official robes is too restrictive, not what young people mean, and it is appropriate to wait for Qianhu to be older and then paint like that. He is like this now. When I am old, I naturally have to wear suave clothes. The painting is slow, and I will ask someone to make the clothes first and send them over. If you ask him to put them on, you will know that you will not be able to find a second one so beautiful in Beijing... "
"cough."
A light cough came in from the sudden door, interrupting their artistic struggle. Cui Xie turned his face to look over, but saw a figure dressed in blue and green standing outside the door, a handsome and familiar face looking at him against the light.
His eloquent discussion suddenly got stuck in his throat, watching the man speechless. Butler Xie hurriedly stood up and said embarrassingly, "Your Excellency is back?"
Xie Ying heard the two of them lively discussing whether to add a beard to him when he was in the courtyard, and when he walked to the door, he clearly included Cui Xie's sentence "I can't find a second one in Beijing". ear.
The accompanying family members took the initiative to fall behind a few steps, bowing their heads and pretending not to hear. Xie Ying stood at the door of the side hall and looked at a few people. Seeing that Cui Xie stopped talking, he nodded to the three standing people, walked into the hall, looked down at him and asked, "What's wrong with Cui Xie? Did you come to Han's house?"
Cui Xie subconsciously touched his face, but he didn't feel hot, so he laughed naturally, stood up and cupped his hands: "Sir Qianhu, you're welcome, in front of you, I will always be the same Cui Xie back then, and you just call me directly. The name is. It's too late to come here today, in fact, I should have come to thank you for the kindness of your previous support."
A "previous" covers the case of the Cui family from beginning to end.
When Xie Qianhu saw the look he handed over, he understood it, shook his head and smiled: "Brother Cui Xian calls me an adult all the time, isn't it also polite? Since you are still willing to get close to me as a warrior, I will not meet you, I will How old are you, just call me thank you brother."
Cui Xie immediately called out "Brother Xie" and talked about painting a portrait and making clothes for him: "I didn't mean to offend Brother Xie, but I really thought that Brother Xie was young and handsome, and he should dress casually at home. some."
Xie Ying smiled and said, "I'm not as good as my virtuous brother Junxiu. You are also young, so you should make some good clothes yourself."
He had a hard time in Qian'an, and it was enough to dress like that. Why didn't he make a few scattered satin clothes after returning to Beijing, and he came to see people wearing the robe of the Guozijian? The shoulders of this robe are loose, and the cuffs and waist can be seen vaguely with traces of modification. They didn't make new ones themselves
He didn't know that Cui Xie's clothes were new the day before yesterday, and he didn't have time to do it as he did. Today, he came to see him directly after school, and was not willing to spend time changing clothes.
Xie Ying sighed secretly and instructed the servants: "I'll go back and change clothes, and you will bring Cui Gongzi to the upper room to entertain."
The old butler led Cui Xie to the living room of the upper room, where Xie Shan accompanies the little shopkeeper and talks to Cui Qi. Xie Ying came out after changing clothes, met Cui Xie again, and asked him, "Brother Cui Xian is here to give gifts again, right?"
Cui Xie said: "Exactly. Now that I am back at home, I have better things in my hands than when I was in Qian'an, so I picked some flowers and dew to smoke the house for Brother Xie. And then..."
"And then brother Cui Xian wants to make me a suave dress." Xie Ying smiled and pressed him onto the chair on the left, turned to sit on his right, and said across the coffee table, "I don't have any shortage of these trails, stickers, and clothes in my house. Take care, but when we parted last time, my virtuous brother said that he would write a poem for me, can you do it now?"
The corners of Cui Xie's mouth twitched down, and soon it was firmly flattened: "Actually, I can also write poetry."
There was a thin smile on Xie Ying's mouth, as if he didn't believe what he said. Cui Xie told him to look at it, but instead gave birth to a competitive spirit, and said stubbornly: "It really does. When the last time I entered the palace, I was ordered to make a poem in front of the imperial palace, and I did it too. Thinking about it now, it's not difficult to write poetry, at most it's not very good..."
It is difficult to do good poetry, but it is not difficult to do bad poetry. Anyway, as long as he co-authored Ping Zhe and rhymed a poem, the emperor didn't beat him to death, how could others beat him to death
What he said was so reasonable, Xie Ying was speechless. However, their courtiers can't be compared with the emperor, so Master Xie is not in a hurry to accept his poetic talents, he shook his head and smiled and said, "You can think about it. But the capital gathers talents from all over the world. The Hanlin scholars who came up as prodigies are all clean people. If someone wants to compare with you in the future, if you can’t write some good poems, you won’t look good on your face.”
When he spoke, he also pointed to his face, his eyes were curved, the lying silkworm under his eyes bulged, his expression was gentle and kind, as if he was chatting with a friend who had known him for a long time.
When Cui Xie was in school, he was used to fighting with his classmates. Seeing that he was about the same age as him, he was sitting next to the table and joking, just like his classmates. look good."
Xie Ying's hand stopped in the air, and she really laughed.
He smiled for a while before he stopped, but with a smile in his eyes, he looked at Cui Xie and said, "I only knew that you were good at painting in the past, but I only know today that your words are so reasonable. I don’t want your paintings anymore, and you don’t have to bother looking for gifts for me during the festivals, just come and tell me a few truths.”
Cui Xie's eyes slipped out, just pretending that he didn't understand him joking about himself.
Xie Ying looked at him with his chin on his hand, his eyes dodging, and couldn't help but want to tease him again. Just looking down along the hand that was blocking his chin, he suddenly saw that the crease of his cuff was not too hot, and the edges of the soap rolled on both sides were slightly sticking up. Xie Ying's smile faded again, and he pinched the Bian'er said, "Your sleeves are bulging a little, take it off and ask someone to iron it."
He clapped his hands, and the servant who was waiting under the porch came in to listen to his instructions. Cui Xie pressed his sleeves and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll ask my family to iron it later..."
Xie Ying said: "I have to eat at home later. It's inconvenient to wear a robe. I have a few clothes that I wore when I was young, and I haven't worn them since. You put them on and you can move around at home."
At that time, he had just been bereaved by his father, and the clothes in the family were all pressed against the bottom of the box. Cui Xie was about the same size as him at that time, so he should be able to wear it.
He ordered someone to iron his clothes, told Cui Xie to change them through the screen, and took his large robe, which had been shrunk by an unknown number of inches, to be re-sewed and ironed. I don't know what a coincidence that clothes are, but it is a big red gold sticker, with a pleated skirt-like hem scattered at the bottom, and a sleeveless white cover on the outside.
This was the first time Cui Xie wore a small skirt, and he was so fashionable that he didn't know how to walk. He always felt like he was going for a ride, so he couldn't help tugging at the hem, and sighed in a low voice: "This dress is really worn by nobles, we little people can't wear it. get used to it."
Xie Ying looked at him sideways in the hall, and smiled slowly: "It's very good-looking, and I can't find another person so good-looking in Beijing."
