At this time, the door opened and Li Hanyan walked in, "Husband, you are back!"
"Yeah! You're here!"
"Have you eaten?" Li Hanyan asked carefully while sitting beside Zhao Xuanyi's bed.
"I've eaten, don't worry!" Li Hanyan often comes to see him recently, and Zhao Xuanyi's feelings for Li Hanyan are also changing. After all, they have been together for so many years, and it seems that the last step is just missing!
At this moment, a carriage came outside the gate of the Protector's Mansion. After the carriage stopped, the handsome young master got out of the carriage, wearing a sky blue gown and a brown leather jacket. After the door, he looked at Tang Tianli who was standing guard and said, "Thank you!"
When Tang Tianli saw this man, he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember. He looked very fair, and he had a scholarly air, and he spoke very politely. This kind of person would not be scorned by anyone anywhere. "It's easy to say, I don't know why the young master came to the house..." …?」
"Ah! I heard that Lord Protector was seriously injured. That's why I came to visit!"
"Oops, what a coincidence, my prince is too seriously injured, so he is now closed behind closed doors and thanking guests!"
The man laughed when he heard this, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to make trouble unreasonably. Please tell me that Qi Mingshan is here to pay a visit. As soon as you tell the Duke my name, he will know it!"
Qimingshan? Tang Tianli remembered! Isn't this the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo Qi Lianzhong? I am not familiar with it, but I heard that the Duke and he have met many times before and even participated in a book club together!
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll drink and report!" After finishing speaking, Tang Tianli walked into the house to report!
Qi Mingshan stood quietly at the door of the Protector's Mansion. He looked up at the plaque above and couldn't help but smile. From the earliest Piaoyun Pavilion, to the later Tang Yanju, then to the Marquis Mansion, until now. I don’t know how many plaques have been changed in the Protector’s Mansion, but every change is a change in Zhao Xuanyi’s identity. Zhao Xuanyi should not be underestimated!
Tang Tianli came to the backyard, happened to see Shen Wei, and hurriedly came over, "Brother Shen!"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"A young man came to the door, claiming to be Qi Mingshan, and came to pay homage to the Duke!" Tang Tianli said.
"Who? Qi Mingshan?"
"That's what he said!"
When Shen Wei heard this, he frowned. Tang Tianli might not know what was going on, but he knew very well, "You wait here, I will ask the young master before I make a decision!"
"yes!"
Shen Wei came to Zhao Xuanyi's door, knocked gently, "Come in!" Li Hanyan shouted!
Shen Wei walked into the room, "Young Master, Madam, Qi Mingshan is outside the house asking to see you!"
"Who?" Zhao Xuanyi asked in surprise, "Qi Mingshan?"
"That's right!"
"Hey! That's interesting!" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself. I just finished training his sister, and he came here. It's not difficult to guess why he came. This put Zhao Xuanyi in a bit of trouble!
"Husband, if you don't want to see me, just send him away! Or I'll tell you!" Li Hanyan volunteered.
"Don't! Now that the Ye family has been defeated, the Qi family has grown a lot. We can't mess around! In this case, ask him to go to the hall, and then have someone carry me over!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes!" Shen Wei said and went to make arrangements!
Li Hanyan looked at Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Husband, you have no friendship with him, so why bother?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and looked at Li Hanyan. If this was two years ago, he would really not have paid attention to it. But now that he has experienced more and seen more, Zhao Xuanyi will not be so impulsive. He has no other reason for leaving Qi Mingshan. , just want to see what move he will make next?
Tang Tianli walked out of the mansion: "Mr. Qi, please come in!"
"Thank you. I brought some gifts. They are on the carriage. Please send someone to bring them to the house!"
"This...? Mr. Qi, I'm really sorry. My prince never allows you to accept gifts. It's not for you. No one can ask for this gift!"
Qi Mingshan smiled, "You misunderstood. This is not a generous gift. It is just a pair of four treasures of the study. I have known the Duke for many years and know that he has great literary talent. I only asked not to give you vulgar things. You can take it with confidence."
Go, if the Duke doesn’t like it, I’ll just take it away! "
"Oh well!"
Qi Mingshan walked into the hall, and the maid brought hot tea. Qi Mingshan thanked him, he was very elegant!
Soon after, Zhao Xuanyi was carried into the hall by four people, followed only by Shen Wei.
After seeing this, Qi Mingshan hurriedly stood up and said, "See the Lord Protector!"
Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly clasped his fists, "Sir, Mr. Qi, how many years have we known each other? Please don't talk to me!"
"My lord is joking. Although I heard that my lord is seriously ill, I didn't know it was so serious. It was me who was rude!"
Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, after not seeing each other for so long, you are getting better and better at pretending to be a grandson. "It's okay. Although I can't move freely now, it's okay to talk. Please sit down and I won't get up to salute you!"
"Hahaha! The Duke is still so witty!" After Qi Mingshan sat down, he looked at the hall. "So many years have passed in a flash. Time flies so fast! I still remember the first time I met the Duke. Still at a book club!"
"Hey, I was the master of my class at that time!"
"My lord, please don't say that. You have trapped me. If you say that, I will become a fool!" After being humble to each other, the two of them laughed!
"Mr. Qi, you came to my place because you must have something to do, right?"
Qi Mingshan nodded and was about to speak when he looked at Shen Wei beside him. Zhao Xuanyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi, this is my confidant. There is nothing I need to hide from him!"
Shen Wei laughed after hearing this. Is it true? Little Lord? You won't tell me where you got the map that Qin Jinyi was rescued from. Your relationship has faded and there have been cracks in trust!
Qi Mingshan smiled, "That's right. Didn't my sister go to Mingyue Palace for a banquet today? I don't know what happened. She cried when she came back. You said this girl, if you ask her anything, she won't say anything. She just keeps talking. The ground is crying, and my father and I are helpless!"
"I heard that the Duke is also at the banquet today. I wonder if you can shed some light on this?"
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he thought, Qi Mingshan, you can do it. They say you are a grandson, but you really do! Are you trying to hit me on purpose? You know I bullied your sister, did you do it here on purpose? It’s true that you are the prime minister’s son, but your father is not as high-status as me. I am afraid of you?
You are lucky, I have learned to be patient now. If it were two years ago, it would be you? Just cut it! "Ah, that's right! You must also know that my relationship with Seventh Brother...isn't the relationship between me and the prince, it's a little better!"
"So the prince has some things he can only tell me. In fact, I am not afraid to tell you. The prince already has someone he likes, but your sister... I have to say, she is very personable, and her polite manners are also acceptable!"
"But I am the prince after all, so I have higher standards. I don't like your sister very much. I was asked to go today just to ask Miss Qi what she meant. However, at the time, Miss Qi clearly said that she did not want to be the crown prince. She said it herself, and the prince was relieved after hearing it, but he was afraid that he was really paying the wrong person!"
After Qi Mingshan heard this, he thought that Zhao Xuanyi was very tactful now? What does it mean to be justified? What does it mean that the prince has a high vision? What's wrong with my sister? You are clearly using your status as the prince to suppress me!
"So that's it, the prince actually has a crush on someone?"
"Isn't it?"
Qi Mingshan smiled, "My lord, I think you may have misunderstood!"
"Misunderstanding? Where do you start talking about this?"
"My sister actually admired the prince the day she saw him, so she wanted to marry him. Maybe she was a little scared in the palace today and couldn't explain her words clearly, so she is crying at home now. This is not a joke. Did you make an mistake?" Qi Mingshan turned things around with just one sentence!
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he showed a surprised expression, "Seriously?"
"Seriously! Of course I understand what my sister is thinking!"
"Hey, you said this is a big deal! Ouch, this is not going to be easy! Let's not talk about it. The eldest princess heard it with her own ears. Even if she is the prince, her heart belongs to you now. Mr. Qi, we have known each other for so many years. , logically I should help you, but this...you
You know, it’s not very convenient for me! "
Qi Mingshan smiled and nodded, "I know the Duke's difficulties, but I don't dare to let the Duke speak. After all, my sister is average in talent and beauty, and she only admires the prince. But if possible, please say a few kind words in front of the prince. As for the eldest princess, I will explain it myself when I have time!"
"Ah, definitely!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile. Are you going to put in a good word for you? It’s too late for me to trample you to death!
"By the way, I know that the Duke is very talented in literature. A few days ago, a friend gave me a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. I was a defeated general under the Duke and lost several book meetings, so I thought of giving this sword to a hero, so I gave it to you. , it’s not valuable, please accept it!”
After Qi Mingshan finished speaking, he opened a package. After opening it, he saw a box inside. As soon as Zhao Xuanyi looked at the box, he knew that it was not an ordinary product. The box was actually made of golden nanmu!
When the box was opened, there were three things inside, a writing brush, an inkstone, and an ink block. Zhao Xuanyi didn't know much about these, but just by seeing this writing brush, Zhao Xuanyi knew it was special!
The body of this writing brush is made of gold inlaid with jade. It should be a piece of jade that fell out. The pattern is of two dragons playing with a bead, and the bead is made of gold! The wolf hairs on the bottom make the pen look bright and dazzling, very beautiful!
The rest of Zhao Xuanyi didn't understand it very well, so he didn't say anything. At this moment, Zhao Xuanyi was very entangled in his heart. He was very excited after seeing this thing, but he knew that he couldn't accept it because he was short-handed!
"My lord, a small gift is not a sign of respect!" Qi Mingshan said with a smile.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at it carefully and liked it so much, what else could he do if he just accepted it? I just accept gifts and do nothing, what can you do to me? But I also have to give him a reason so that he can't frame her in the future! "Thank you Mr. Qi, you look really beautiful, but I never accept gifts!"
"My lord, we only have literary talents, not to mention this thing is really not very valuable!"
"That's OK! I accepted the gift, but we agreed that I can't take it for nothing. Brother Shen, I will ask Sister Ziyuan to bring a hundred taels of silver and give it to Mr. Qi. This will be considered as my purchase. Mr. Qi, What do you think of this?"
What a brilliant move! Do you want this? Qi Mingshan was scolding him in his mind, do you think he should give it now or not? I gave him something that was equivalent to what someone else bought me. I didn’t appreciate it, and even if I didn’t give it to myself, I took it out. Now that the situation had come to an end, there was no other way. Qi Mingshan gritted his teeth and said, “Okay!”
After Qi Mingshan left, Zhao Xuanyi returned to the backyard with the box in his hand, feeling very happy! Not to mention the treasure inside, even this box is worth more than a hundred taels of silver! What a good thing!
After returning to the room, Li Hanyan picked up Zhao Xuanyi and put it on the bed. When she saw Zhao Xuanyi holding a box, she was very surprised, "What is it? Are you still holding it?"
"Good stuff!" Zhao Xuanyi said and opened it carefully!
Li Hanyan looked at it. She naturally didn't understand this. "What did I think it was? Isn't it just a pen, ink and inkstone?"
Zi Yuan walked over and her eyes widened for a moment, "Miss, they are also the Four Treasures of the Study, but these are different!" Zi Yuan picked up the brush and looked at it carefully, "It's really the best Hetian jade, the jade body is transparent, I bought it. It’s warm to the touch, and it’s gold inlaid with jade. This writing brush carved from a single piece of jade is extremely valuable!”
"Is it that expensive?" Li Hanyan didn't care!
"This ink block, if I read this ink block correctly, it should be Hui ink from the Tang Dynasty. According to outside rumors, it is worth one tael and one gold! But it is just a rumor. The real price is not so cheap!" Zi Yuan said with a smile.
"So expensive?" Li Hanyan thought to herself, this piece of ink can be exchanged for a Fangtian Painting Halberd!
Zi Yuan picked up the inkstone next to her and said, "This... this?" Zi Yuan frowned, as if she couldn't tell which one was famous!
"This is Duan Yan, you don't recognize me?" A charming voice came from the door.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Tang Rou walking into the hall holding her child, followed by two maids. Tang Rou put the child into Hake's arms, took the inkstone from Zi Yuan's hand, and carefully took a look!
"Duan Inkstone, also known as Duanxi Inkstone, was named after it was produced in ancient Duanzhou. The stone of Duan Inkstone is warm and delicate, smooth and delicate
, it stores water without consumption, grinds silently, the ink is fine and smooth, the writing is smooth, and the handwriting remains unchanged for a long time. It is known as the first of all inkstones! "
"There are many kinds of stone patterns on Duan inkstones. The more common stones are ice pattern, gold thread, silver thread, Huo Na, fish brain jelly, banana leaf white, etc., and the inkstones produced in Laokeng, Mazikeng, and Kengzaiyan The stone is the best. The use of Duan stone to make inkstones first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The literati in the Song Dynasty admired Duan inkstones even more. In the Song Dynasty, Duan inkstones were of high quality and exquisite in carving. Hand-made inkstones were the most representative!"
"And this piece... I guess there are only a few pieces in the world. This is a priceless treasure!" Tang Rou said, with little stars popping out of her eyes!
"You know all this?" Li Hanyan asked in surprise, didn't this guy come from a brothel?
"You don't even know this?" Tang Rou asked with a proud face.
Zhao Xuanyi took a look and thought, yes! No need to ask, Tang Rou must have taken a liking to it. Originally, Zi Yuan took a fancy to it first, and Zhao Xuanyi wanted to give it to Zi Yuan, but as soon as Tang Rou came, Zhao Xuanyi lost his temper instantly!
"Husband...!" Tang Rou probably lengthened her voice, pushed Li Hanyan away, and sat next to Zhao Xuanyi. "Husband, I really like this set of Four Treasures of the Study. Can you give it to me?"
"This...?" Zhao Xuanyi looked embarrassed!
Tang Rou stared, "Last time you gave the bird to someone else, I didn't come for three days. If you don't give it to me this time, I won't come to see you for a year!"
"..." Are you so threatening?
