Although Qin Nan has a calm temperament, when he thinks of Su Shi making a big fuss in the house, he feels upset and unable to calm down. She let out a long sigh, unable to control herself for a moment, and a trace of sadness surged in her heart.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently, and Qin Yue came in angrily. He sat heavily on the chair. He looked at Qin Nan and hesitated to speak. In the end, he had to sit there alone and sulk.
Qin Nan looked at the angry elder brother and calmed down. He slowly stood up and made him a cup of tea. He came to Qin Yue and said with a smile: "Brother, why should you be angry for that kind of person? Let's drink a cup of tea to calm down first." .”
Although Qin Yue took the tea cup, he had no intention of drinking tea at this time, so he put the tea cup on the table. Finally, he could not suppress the depression in his heart.
"Little sister, you don't know how hateful Su Shi is."
Qin Nan said calmly: "If he wants to make a fuss, just let him do it. If you argue with such a person, you will lose your status."
Qin Yue said loudly: "If Su Shi had made a noise in the mansion, I would have asked someone to beat him out. Qin Mansion is not the place where Su Shi ran wild. But this guy... this guy..." Here, Qin Yue's expression suddenly became hesitant, as if he didn't know how to continue.
Qin Nan saw that his elder brother was hesitant in speaking, and his beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at him strangely, and asked in confusion: "Then what did Su Shi do?"
Qin Yue seemed to be afraid to look into her eyes and kept avoiding her eyes. But the more he acted like this, the more curious Qin Nan became. In the end, Qin Nan had to pretend to be angry and look at him.
When Qin Nan got angry, Qin Yue had to tell the whole story.
When Qin Nan heard that Su Shi had come to cancel the engagement, he was extremely surprised at first, and then felt bursts of joy, almost stopping his breathing. When she heard her father mention the young man by the river, she felt shy again and her heart pounded like a deer. When he heard that Su Shi actually went back on his word, Qin Nan couldn't help but feel angry. But after hearing the first couplet at the end, all the anger turned into shock.
"Yansuo Pondliu..." Qin Nan murmured to himself, frowning and thinking secretly.
But the longer she thought about it, the more she felt that this connection was of great importance, and it was even more difficult to confront it.
"Is this couplet really made by Su Shi?" Qin Nan finally couldn't help but ask.
Qin Yue said with disdain: "How could it be him? He just saw it somewhere." At this point, he comforted: "Little sister, you don't have to worry, I don't believe that three days are right." This couplet won’t come out.”
Qin Nan didn't seem to hear what he said. He turned around and walked to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote the first couplet on the paper, then looked at the rice paper and fell into deep thought.
Qin Yue knew that whenever his little sister encountered something academic, she would study it in depth even if she forgot about food and sleep, so he was not surprised by Qin Nan's appearance.
I don't know how long it took, but when Qin Nan woke up from his deep thoughts, Qin Yue was no longer there, but his father Qin Zhidao was sitting quietly reading a book.
"Father, why are you here?" Qin Nan hurriedly went to say hello.
"I came to see you. I saw that you were lost in thought, so I didn't disturb you." Qin Zhidao looked at her lovingly.
Qin Nan shook his head and said, "My daughter is fine, father doesn't have to worry."
"You were so absorbed in your thoughts just now, but are you thinking about that couple? Do you have a clue?"
Qin Nan didn't speak, just shook her head gently. She had spent too much energy just now, and now her spirit seemed a little depressed, and her originally bright and clear eyes became a little stagnant.
Qin Zhidao couldn't bear her to work so hard and comforted: "It doesn't matter if you don't think about it for a moment. Don't tire yourself."
Qin Nan said: "My daughter has her own sense of propriety, father doesn't have to worry about me."
Qin Zhidao knew that although she had a calm temperament, she could be very persistent at times, and most of his words had fallen on deaf ears.
He could only sigh secretly and had no choice but to change the topic.
"I was chatting with Brother Xuanping just now, and I heard him talk about the young master you met by the Yudai River today. He expressed his admiration for that young master in his words. Nan'er, what's your impression of that young man?"
As soon as Qin Nan heard Qin Zhidao mention the young master from Yudaihe, his mind couldn't help but think of that handsome and gentle face. Those dark eyes seemed to have some kind of magic power, making people trapped in it and helpless. Extricate yourself.
A touch of red cloud quietly flew onto her cheek, and her originally stagnant eyes gradually became radiant.
She whispered: "That young master is very talented, beyond the reach of my daughter."
Qin Zhidao saw Qin Nan's expression at this time and knew that she was already attracted to Su Shi, and couldn't help but feel secretly bitter in his heart. He couldn't imagine how heartbroken and disappointed Qin Nan would be when she learned that Su Shi was that young master.
At this moment, Qin Nan suddenly remembered that Master Kong had come to the mansion and asked hurriedly: "Is Master Kong still in the mansion?"
Qin Zhidao smiled and said, "I think of you, Master Kong, now. He has already left."
Qin Nan couldn't help stamping his feet and said regretfully: "I was too absorbed in thinking just now. I'm afraid Master Kong will blame me if I don't have time to meet him in the future."
"Master Kong doesn't even have time to love you, so how can he bear to blame you? You can rest assured."
Qin Nan looked at her father and suddenly said: "Is there any medicine at home to replenish qi and nourish the mind? Master's wife fainted today due to lack of energy and blood. She had already fallen asleep when we went back, so she didn't see her. I want to see Master's wife tomorrow. .”
Qin Zhidao nodded and said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare later. Just look for him before you go."
At this moment, Qin Yue suddenly appeared at the door again, holding a scroll of paintings in his hand, his whole body was in high spirits, and his expression was filled with indescribable joy.
Seeing how excited her eldest brother was, Qin Nan couldn't help but curiously asked: "What makes you so happy?"
Qin Yue couldn't help but laugh and said: "I just sent the fifth prince and the others out of the mansion, and happened to meet the housekeeper moving the painting of Night Tour on Cuiping Mountain to the main hall..."
Qin Nan was even more curious: "Why should this painting be moved to the main hall? Didn't Master Kong say that it cannot be placed in the main hall without an inscribed poem?" When she said this, her expression changed and she said in surprise: "Didn't Master Kong already put an inscription on the painting? A poem?"
Qin Yue nodded quickly and couldn't help but sigh: "After Master Kong wrote the poem, this painting can be regarded as a masterpiece of both poetry and painting, and the poetry is especially superior to the painting. Everyone was full of praise after reading it, and the fifth prince even more I can’t put it down.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan couldn't bear it anymore and hurried forward, holding the tail end of the painting with one hand, and then slowly unfolded it.
Qin Zhidao was complaining in his heart at this time, but he could not step forward to stop him.
After he and Kong Wenshun finished talking, Kong Wenshun thought of Su Shi's poem and was filled with admiration. So he inscribed the poem on the painting. Qin Zhidao also regarded it as a treasure, so he asked the housekeeper to move the painting to the main hall to hang it. .
At this time, Qin Nan read softly: "When people are idle, the osmanthus flowers fall, and the night is quiet in the spring mountain sky. The moonrise frightens the mountain birds, and they sing in the spring streams."
After reading it, Qin Nan couldn't help but feel excited and showed admiration in her eyes. After a long time, she said in surprise: "This poem matches this painting, both the scenery and the freehand brushwork are perfect. Only Master Kong can create such a poem." Come."
As she said that, she turned her head and said excitedly to her father: "Father, do you think so?"
Qin Zhidao could only nod, but there was no joy on his face.
Qin Nan was very thoughtful. Seeing her father's expression was different, she couldn't help but ask: "Does father think this poem is inappropriate?"
Qin Zhidao shook his head and said: "This poem is very good, and it is a perfect match for this painting, but..."
Qin Nan and Qin Yue asked in unison: "But what?"
Qin Zhidao kept stroking his beard with his hand, thought for a while, and finally said with a bitter smile: "This poem was not written by your Master Kong."
Qin Nan and Qin Yue looked at Qin Zhidao with their mouths open. After a long time, Qin Yue asked again: "Is this poem really not written by Master Kong?"
"The author is indeed someone else, but Brother Xuanping also praised the poem so much that he mentioned it on the painting."
Qin Nan always felt that his father was looking very strange at this time, and asked: "Then who is the author of this poem?"
Suddenly Qin Zhidao remained silent because he and Kong Wenshun had already agreed not to reveal information about Su Shi to Qin Nan before getting to know Su Shi deeply.
Qin Yue and Qin Nan naturally refused to give up. After repeated questioning, Qin Zhidao had no choice but to say: "Master Kong didn't tell you clearly, and I don't know either."
