In the lobby, the two daughters were nestled in their father's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, licking the lollipops that their father had brought them with relish. Chen Qing brought back the most famous Wufenglou maltose in Bianliang.
The day before the store reopened, Chen Qing bought a bunch of them for his children. In fact, their mother also liked them too.
However, everyone can't think about eating now. They are all admiring the treasures on the table. The two-foot-long table is filled with all kinds of rare treasures. According to convention, every time they go on an expedition, the Western Army must collect treasures from the treasures.
The best ones were selected and presented to King Yong, and the remaining jewels were awarded by Chen Qing to the generals and officials.
There are also rules in Chen Qing's house. Usually Princess Lu Xiu gives ten pieces to each person, but today Chen Qing changed the rules a little. Each of his wives and concubines can choose one piece they like best, and then each of the others will have nine pieces.
The princess distributes it to everyone, which makes everyone happier.
Everyone picked one thing, and while they were looking at it carefully, Chen Qingxiao asked, "What did you pick?"
For the first time today, Lu Xiu did not choose jade, but instead chose a set of porcelain. Seeing her husband asking her, she smiled sweetly and said, "I picked a set of top-quality tea sets!"
Chen Qing suddenly remembered that there are three sets of azure official kiln Jun porcelain, which can be called the best of the best. They are the collection of Emperor Huizong. They were searched from Qian Huang's house. He asked for them by name. He did not expect that his wife's vision was so keen.
, suddenly discovered that Chen Qing also found two other boxes on the table, but they were not taken away.
Chen Qing looked at Zhao Qiaoyun and Zhao Yingluo again and found that both of them were silent. Zhao Qiaoyun was holding a phoenix crown in his hand, and Zhao Yingluo was holding a pair of white jade bracelets. They were not top-notch jewelry. They were probably their mother's old possessions.
They are all hurting themselves by seeing things.
Ah Ying and Alian are a little bit vulgar. Ah Ying holds a top-quality emerald as big as a red date, which is inlaid on the cap badge. Ah Lian also holds a rare ruby, the size of a chicken egg, and is of extremely high quality. Chen Qing
I secretly praised the two of them for their good eyesight and got the two top gems on the table.
"Two little guys, you can also choose one!"
Chen Qing smiled at his two daughters who were eating sweets in his arms and said, "Xue'er, don't you like glitter the most?"
"Xue'er has grown up and no longer likes glitter." Chen Xue replied vaguely while eating some candy.
"Then what do you like?"
“Love the pretty dresses!”
Chen Qing laughed and asked his second daughter, "What does Bing'er like?"
"I like candy!"
The children's innocent answers made Chen Qing particularly happy. He asked his eldest son Chen Ji who was standing next to him, "What did Ji'er take?"
Chen Ji handed the box in his hand to his father, "Reply to daddy, the child took a piece of Li Mo."
Li Mo is the best ink. It was made by Li Tinggui and his son of the Five Dynasties. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a saying that "gold is easy to get, but Li Mo is hard to find". Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty collected hundreds of pieces of Li Mo.
Although Li Mo is very precious, it is still inferior to the azure official kiln Jun porcelain. Chen Qing has five pieces of Li Mo in his study, but there is not a single azure official kiln Jun porcelain.
"Why did Ji'er choose Li Mo?" Chen Qingxiao asked.
Chen Ji said respectfully: "Master has always been obsessed with the piece of Li Mo that he lost in Bianliang. I chose this piece of ink to make up for his regret."
Chen Ji's master was Lu Cunyi, the head of Chen Qing's five staffs. These five staffs were not actually staffs. It would be more appropriate to call them consultants. They were all teachers in the school.
Lu Cunyi is the most senior staff member. He is over 60 years old. He was originally a doctor of Taixue in Bianliang and a native of Chencang County, Guanzhong. After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, he returned to his hometown and was immediately hired by Chen Qing as a doctor of Taixue in Jingzhao. He was a highly talented person.
Badou was a well-known scholar in Guanzhong. At the beginning of the year, he officially became the master of Chen Qing's eldest son, Chen Ji, and came to Prince Yong's Mansion every morning to teach him how to read.
Chen Qing was very satisfied with his son's respect for his teacher. He smiled and said, "You can choose another one for yourself."
Chen Ji hesitated for a moment, then took another small piece of warm white jade, hung it on his waist, bowed and said, "Thank you, dad!"
Chen Qing touched his head and really liked this well-educated son.
At night, after Chen Qing and his wife had a loving relationship, they finally calmed down. Lu Xiu lay in her husband's arms and said, "Husband, I also want to go to Bianliang. I want to visit the old house where I grew up.
"
Chen Qing smiled happily and said: "Next time I go to Bianliang for inspection, I will take you with me."
"we have a deal!"
Chen Qing nodded, "It's a deal!"
Chen Qing suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "I found your clan sister Lu Qi."
Lu Xiu sat up suddenly and asked in surprise: "How is she? How did your husband find her?"
"She married Fu Bi's great-grandson, and the couple lived a relatively poor life. Her husband had to sell his great-grandfather's official kiln porcelain to make ends meet. Fortunately, he met me."
Chen Qing told the story of when he met Fuhong selling porcelain in the black market. Lu Xiu sighed that it was such a coincidence, "It's God's will! Fortunately, they met their husbands."
Chen Qing smiled and said: "Your clan sister is very straightforward and smart. I think she would come to me even if she didn't meet her husband."
"Probably so! She has been very competitive since she was a child. Did her husband help them?"
"I made Fuhong the magistrate of Bianliang County. He is a Jinshi and has sufficient qualifications."
Lu Xiu felt relieved after receiving the news from her clan sister. She suddenly became a little worried and said, "Isn't the tea set I got the same as theirs?"
Chen Qing held his wife's delicate body in his arms and smiled: "No! That day, the blue official kiln was obtained from the miser Qian Huang's house. There were three sets in total. He worked hard to accumulate wealth and was reluctant to eat or wear, but in the end it was cheap.
Got me."
"Husband, I want to have another child!" Lu Xiu twisted in her husband's arms, her eyes clearly hinting at him.
"Okay! Let's study more about how to have a baby." The couple continued to love each other under the quilt.
Early the next morning, Chen Qing came to his official room, and all the officials in the official room lined up to welcome him back.
Chen Qing waved his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, I will give everyone a small gift later."
Everyone was very happy when they heard that His Highness was going to give them gifts. After returning from the last attack on Datong Mansion, His Highness each gave them a bead worth several strings of money. Everyone went back to their seats with great expectations.
Chen Qing came to his official room, and Chao Qing sent a thick stack of documents, "These are relatively important documents. The urgent documents have been processed by the princess, and there is no objection from the Internal Affairs Hall."
Chen Qing turned around and said, "You're not in a hurry, are you?"
“It’s not in a hurry!”
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow! I'm going out to take a look today, and you can arrange a carriage."
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Qing stopped Chao Qing again and handed him a cloth bag, "Share it for everyone? Each person has a small bag, and the items are all the same."
The gift Chen Qing gave this time was a gold hairpin for each person. This was found in Liu Yu's property box. The whole box of gold hairpins was of the same format, weighed about half a tael, and was inlaid with a pearl, which amounted to thousands.
It is estimated that Liu Yu planned to reward the palace maid, but for some unknown reason, he did not reward her.
At this time, Jiang Yan first came to Chen Qing to discuss the matter of the New Taixue. Chen Qing said with a smile: "I just want to go out and have a look, so I will go together to see what the New Taixue has become."
"There have been a lot of changes in the past few months, and I don't think His Highness will recognize it!"
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "You whet my appetite, and I want to take a look."
"Your Highness, it's raining lightly outside!" Chao Qing reminded in a low voice.
Chen Qing waved his hand, "It's okay! It's raining and cool, so it's time to go out!"
Chen Qing took another sip of tea, and then he and Jiang Yan got on the carriage. Guarded by more than a dozen cavalry, the carriage drove towards the south gate.
