Although the news this little girl brought back was all hindsight, Xu Xun had met many people in his past and subsequent lives, and he found the little girl's enthusiasm rather than talking about anything else interesting. Of course, her blustering temperament was not the same.
Today's coquettish ladies are more like those lively and cheerful ordinary girls of later generations.
He nodded with a smile, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a gurgling sound in his ears that could not be ignored. He immediately looked towards the little girl in surprise. Under that gaze, all he could see was the little girl's face.
It suddenly turned red.
"What are you looking at...I've never seen anyone...I'm hungry!"
Compared with the fierce scolding just now, the little girl's arrogance suddenly weakened by three points. If she hadn't been disguising herself as a man, she would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Who would have thought of this Xu family's banquet
It was so late, and she worked so hard to avoid those who might know her. How could she find time to fill her stomach? So, her lowered head was full of shame,
When she discovered that there was a greased paper bag suddenly in front of her, she raised her head in silence.
"Fortunately, I thought that this banquet would be delayed, so I asked Ruisheng to prepare some tea eggs. If you are hungry, you can eat them first."
The little girl glanced at Xu Xun secretly and saw that he was not joking, so she hesitantly stretched out her hand. When she touched the oil paper bag, she drew back her hand like lightning and took out the whole bag.
The things were all hidden on her knees under the table. Not only that, she also stared at Xu Xun and said angrily: "What kind of place is this? You are not afraid of others seeing it as a joke!"
I saw the little girl looking around for a while, then opened the oil paper bag like a thief, and then peeled off the egg shell clumsily and laboriously, finally holding the smooth tea egg, but still not forgetting to look left and right to pay attention to the movement, and finally a thought
The little girl stuffed the egg into her mouth, looking like a panicked child. Xu Xun almost laughed out loud. Sure enough, the next moment he found that the little girl was choking and her face turned red. He had to pour a cup of tea himself.
After sending it over, the smile on his face became even stronger when he saw him busy filling the water.
Although the anger was relieved and the egg yolk was eaten, the little girl had never been so embarrassed in her life. Now she put down the half-empty tea cup and glared at Xu Xun fiercely for a long time.
Only then did he hold back a sentence: "Don't get me wrong. I am sending you this message because of your father's kindness to me, not for anything else!"
"What else?"
"You...you asked questions knowingly!" The little girl blushed even more with anger, and her murderous gaze seemed to want to poke two holes in Xu Xun's body, "I came to remind you with good intentions, but you...you actually
……you are not a good person!"
This sudden sentence made Xu Xun laugh and cry, and he felt relaxed unconsciously. Since arriving in this world, the initial sense of alienation was followed by a sense of crisis at every step, even if he was drinking and chatting with old man Xu Liang.
Sometimes I can relax more, but after all, the age difference between the two of them is quite big, so it is not as comfortable and relaxing as this time.
So, at this moment, the little girl who was just a little bit pointed at her nose and said that he was not a good person. He stared at that sullen face for a while, and finally turned away and continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
"Have you not heard a saying, girl? Good people don't live long, but bad things last for thousands of years."
The little girl originally planned to listen to the explanation, but Xu Xun stared at her in a daze for a long time, and finally said such a sentence, which almost made her lungs explode. If it weren't for this in public, she would
I wanted to grab this guy's collar and yell something, but now I had to angrily use the corner of my own clothes to vent my anger, and it didn't take long to rub the flat area into a mess.
When the waiters finally brought the dishes one after another with smiles on their faces, she simply ignored Xu Xun and just kept eating. When the dishes were placed on the table, she couldn't eat any more and raised her head.
But he found that Xu Xun was still looking at him with a half-smile, and he suddenly realized that his devouring was in the eyes of others, and he became even more angry.
The cups and plates in one room were already in a mess, but people in the other room were still toasting and toasting. Almost no one reached out to take a chopstick from the dishes on the table. Xu Hao, who had been promoted, stood up, raised his glass, said a few polite words, and immediately drank a glass by himself.
Then many people toasted one by one. Some of them drank a full drink, some drank half a drink, some took a symbolic sip, and some just took a sip and ignored it.
Even so, when he finally sat down again, his face was already reddish and he was drunk with wine. The butler Zhu Sihai on the side reminded him softly that when the descendants of the Xu family over there were about to give handwritten gifts, he almost didn't even think about it.
He nodded and smiled at Liu Mansion Prime Minister Fang Zhizhong, Wu Qigong and several other important guests.
"It's the juniors' intention to make everyone laugh!"
"No, Brother Xu is a local after all. I haven't experienced such lively scenes for many years." Yingtian Mansion Zhizhong Fangjie is a foreigner, and his family is only a small one. Seeing the people of the Xu family here
Almost six or seven tables were taken up, and he naturally had mixed feelings. Then he looked at Mr. Wu Qi and said, "Speaking of which, Mr. Wu is surrounded by his children and grandchildren, which makes me very envious."
Among the people present, Fang Jie was the second official, but he was the oldest. Although it sounded like he was relying on his elders, others had to give him a little less respect. Even Master Wu Qi bowed and said a few words of humility. When he smiled, he could
When Mr. Xu brought his two sons, Xu Dong and Xu Jin, up to salute, everyone looked at Xu You's thin face. Coupled with Fang Jie's words, they all politely called "nephew". They were very happy.
Mr. Xu was very happy.
"Today is the joy of the sixth brother's promotion. Logically speaking, they should prepare some gifts. However, the sixth brother is a refined person, so these junior calligraphers discussed it among themselves and said that they had prepared a lot of calligraphy and paintings and wanted to invite the sixth brother.
Let’s taste and taste it with all of you.” Mr. Xu spoke very gently. Seeing that no one had any objections, he winked at his eldest son, Xu Dong, and said, “Donger, you are the eldest, please unfold this picture of yours.
Let me show you."
Xu Dong was the eldest of the Xu family. He was the first to appear, but he was not afraid. He opened the brocade box in his hand with a smile and carefully took out a long scroll. After a while, he called a boy.
Helping to unfold the book next to him, he saw that "there will be long winds and waves, and the clouds and sails will go straight to the sea." Xu Hao, who was in the main seat, immediately nodded slightly, and Liu Fucheng next to him stood up and squinted his eyes to reach the scroll.
After looking left and right, he finally stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "The calligraphy is pretty good. It's obviously Shen Minze of Lin, but the heat is still a bit lacking. I think I was lucky enough to see the original work when I was in Beijing.
, what is carried is a jade book with a gold version."
"Liu Fu Cheng's calligraphy is also famous in Yingtian Mansion. Since you say that, you have to go back and practice."
When Xu You heard this and saw Xu Dong put away the long scroll, he had to say a few words of encouragement, and then turned to Xu Jin. At this time, seeing others looking at him, Xu Jin felt proud and smiled while picking up the things.
He said: "I can't compare to my eldest brother, who has written calligraphy since he was a child. I got a good thing a few days ago, which is said to be a painting by Li Tang, a famous artist in the Song Dynasty. Today I am lucky enough to invite all of you to appreciate it."
"Li Tang? Li Tang who created the big axe?"
For ordinary literati, the eight-legged essay that served as a stepping stone after passing the imperial examinations can be lost, but the names of famous calligraphers and even famous painters of the past dynasties cannot be lost. For a while, the main table was in an uproar. Especially Fang Jie, Ying Tianfu Zhizhong, was even more concerned.
Guangdi stood up and urged: "Expand it quickly, unfold it quickly, let everyone appreciate the masterpiece of Li Chengzhonglang!"
Although Xu Xun was far away, the little girl was always paying attention to the movements above after eating and drinking. When she heard Xu Jin loudly said that it was the authentic work of Li Tang, she couldn't help but look at Xu Xun with a strange expression.
, but saw that the other party was still sitting there calmly enjoying his meal, so he couldn't help but kicked him in the head.
"Hey, don't just know how to eat, listen up, that Xu Jin is offering a treasure! It's all you, giving up this good opportunity to others!"
Xu Xun slowly picked out the fattest piece of meat on the gills of the fish. As soon as he was done with it, he heard a sudden silence above him. He knew exactly what was going on and saw that the little girl had already rushed over.
, hiding under the stairs and listening in the corner, he couldn't help laughing. Sure enough, the next moment, the silence was broken by a sneer. Following the laughter, it was vaguely the voice of Mr. Wu Qi.
"If this was also Li Daizhao's masterpiece, I'm afraid everyone would be like Fan Kuan and Li Tang!"
When one person spoke, others naturally started talking about it. Some said it was such an obvious fake, some said the painting style was poor, and some even said it was worth not even a tael of silver in the market. In the end, it was just
I heard Mr. Xu suddenly shout: "You are a shameful thing, please get out of here!"
Hearing this, the little girl immediately slipped back, sat in front of the square table and looked at Xu Xun with a strange expression: "Didn't you already know it at that time?"
"What did the girl say?"
"You're still pretending!"
The little girl pressed her hands on the table angrily. At this moment, a person came down the stairs. Who else could it be if it wasn't Xu Jin, whose face was ashen? Looking at Xu Xun and the person he met last time, he saw
The little girl dressed as a man was sitting next to him, and he felt even more angry. He rushed forward in a few steps and slapped the table hard.
"How dare you, the seventh old man, to set a trap for me!"
ps: The second update will continue to ask for recommendations. At the same time, I would like to inform everyone that the title of the book will be changed on Thursday. Don’t be surprised because the books in the bookshelf have changed their names... ahem
