As the sun set, Zhu Pingan, holding a side ink stone in one hand and a scroll of calligraphy in the other, stood at the entrance of the Yu Wang Mansion with a smile on his face, bathing in an afterglow of evening sunlight, arching his hand and bidding farewell to Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and the others.
“My lord, I’ll hold that stone for you.”Liu Dazhou walked up with his horse and said to Zhu Pingan.
“Oh, okay, thanks.”
Zhu Pingan nodded and casually handed the ink stone in his hand to Liu Dazhou, it was not convenient to ride a horse with one thing in one hand.
“This stone feels quite good in your hand.”Liu Dazhou took the ink stone and threw it casually, praising.
“Aigoo, Woods that brown man, you must be careful, that’s not a stone, that is the current saint’s imperial gift of ink stone, an ink stone thousands of gold it, you can not give a fall …….”Yu Wang House of a subordinate officer just out of the gate to see Liu Dazhou casually throw ink stone scene, nervous face are white.
“What? A royal ink stone, an ink stone of a thousand gold?!”
Liu Dazhou did not expect this stone in his hand to have such a big origin, he was scared and shivered, the ink stone almost did not come out of his hand.
“Aigoo hey ……”
That subordinate officer saw the ink stone in Liu Dazhu’s hand come off, couldn’t help but exclaim out in shock, seeing Liu Dazhu finally rescue and catch it again, only then did he let out a deep breath.
“Cough cough cough, so this stone comes so big ah, Gongzi, or you take this stone, I’ll take that roll of paper.”Liu Dazhou smiled nervously and touched his head, handing over the hot ink stone in his hand to Zhu Ping An, wanting to exchange for the calligraphy post in Zhu Ping An’s hand.
“That roll of paper?!”
Just now that the subordinate official heard, really can’t help but to Liu Dazhu rolled a big white eyes, “You said that roll of paper is the saint of the book Wang Xizhi for the few surviving in the world of the real, the saint of the book, for the few of the real, do not understand? On the ‘that roll of paper’ in your mouth, it’s no exaggeration to say that it’s enough to exchange for half a city.”
“Enough to exchange half a city?!”
Liu Dazhou’s eyes were almost glazed over, smacking his lips and shrinking his neck, “Then I’d better take the ink stone.”
“Hehe, it’s not that exaggerated ……”Zhu Pingan shook his head with a smile.
The ink stone in Liu Dazhou’s hand is the prize won by Zhu Pingan at the Yu Wang House Pergola Poetry Club, the Ka Jing Emperor’s imperial gift of the Xie Xie ink stone, another Xie Xie ink stone was obtained by Zhang Juzheng, and of course, Yin Shidan didn’t come up empty-handed, and the Yu Wang bestowed another prize.
As for Zhu Pingan’s hand of calligraphy, for Zhu Pingan is an accident.
Pergola poetry will be almost over, next door to the King of King’s House came by King’s order to send a pair of posters, said by name to Zhu Pingan.
Wang Xizhi’s peace post?
King Jing sent it to Zhu Pingan?!!!
At that time, Zhu Pingan was at a loss, and there was an uproar from the Yu Wang House crowd, who looked at Zhu Pingan with strange eyes.
There is a mole in us ……That was roughly it.
The crowd had heard rumours before that Emperor Jiajing was originally going to move Zhu Pingan to become the King Jing’s House’s Ministerial Bachelor, but he didn’t know why he ended up changing it to the Yu Wang’s House’s Ministerial Bachelor. Now, King Jing had sent someone to give Zhu Pingan something so valuable?
In hindsight, it would be strange if there were no ghosts in this?
Therefore, at that time, everyone in the Yu Wang House looked at Zhu Pingan with a look of suspicion, and even King Yu was a bit strange.
Zhu Pingan, calmly asked the man why King Jing sent the posters to himself.
The man then briefly told the whole story.
It turned out to be the lottery of the Poetry Society, King Jing even put the works of the two poetry societies together for evaluation.
So, the crowd released, look at Zhu Pingan’s eyes also from the traitor into envy, Wang Xizhi’s real handwriting it, although only half, but this value is also incalculable, enough to be used as a heirloom of the family.
Although the original story, know that this post is the poem will be the lottery, is their own deserved, also know that this lottery is Wang Xizhi’s few surviving authentic handwriting, valuable, but Zhu Pingan still do not hesitate to decisively refused.
Joke.
Position still need to have.
How could he accept something from King Jing’s House when he was serving in King Yu’s House?
One could not lose out on a small matter.
Zhu Pingan’s decisive refusal without any hesitation had surprised the Yu Wang Fu crowd, who thought that they could not do such a thing when it was put on them, so they looked at Zhu Pingan with a few more points of admiration.
Chen Yiqin even stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Pingan’s stance made King Yu very satisfied and pleased, and looked at Zhu Pingan with a few more points of trust in his eyes.
When the people from King Jing’s House finished failing to complete the task, they would be chastised by King Jing, kneeling down long and sending them off solidly.
So three times five times.
Zhu Pingan only helpless to take the word post, but after taking over, it was presented to King Yu with both hands, said please King Yu disposal.
Yu Wang received the word post, then gave it to Zhu Pingan again.
Although just a hand, but the nature is very different, from King Jing reward into King Yu reward.
Since it was a reward from King Yu, Zhu Pingan naturally accepted it with a smile.
Therefore, when Zhu Pingan returned home from work, he returned fully loaded with an ink stone in one hand and a calligraphy post in the other.
“Good day, Lord Zhu.”
“Good day, Lord Zhu. ……”
The officials who followed out at the door, many of them took the initiative to arch their hands with Zhu Pingan to say goodbye, Zhu Pingan’s performance at today’s poetry meeting had earned the respect of many people in the Yu Wang House.
“Lord Zhang, take care, Lord Liu, take care ……Lord Liu, Lord Wang, see you tomorrow ……”One by one, Zhu Pingan bowed to them and returned their greetings.
After bidding farewell to all of them, Zhu Pingan turned on his horse with the word post in his hand and galloped with Liu Dazhu towards Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
At twilight, all the way to the horse’s hooves urged by the clouds, at the time when the setting sun’s rays kissed the horizon, Zhu Pingan returned to the Linhuai Marquis’ Mansion.
“Miss, Miss, Auntie is back ……”
“Auntie is back ……”
The little girls within the Garden of Respect and Enjoyment, seeing Zhu Pingan approaching from afar, trotted off to report to Li Shu.
Thus, when Zhu Pingan’s side had just entered the door, Li Shu led the bun little maids and others to welcome them.
Like yesterday, the bear child Rui Ge’er and the little loli Niu Niu were also in the Garden of Respect and Enjoyment, following Li Shu as she came upside down.
“Tu ……Brother-in-law, what are you holding in your hand?”
The bear child’s eyes were very sharp, at a glance, he saw the ink stone and calligraphy post carried in Zhu Pingan’s hand, and asked curiously, and when he called out to Zhu Pingan’s brother-in-law, as usual, the three words “bumpkin” almost came out of his mouth again.
“Dang.”
Li Shu’s slender jade hand placed on the bear child’s head, flexed her pink jade finger and flicked it, saying with a concerned face, “Ruiguo’er, there’s a blade of grass on your head.”
“Thank you fifth sister.”
Seeing Li Shu treating herself so well and helping herself to flick the grass, the bear child was touched and lifted up his little chubby face to give a burst of thanks.
After thanking Li Shu, the bear child proudly turned the small fat face, small eyes were not big, but also deliberately squinted out of the corner of the eye Zhu Pingan a glance, proudly grunted twice, with the success of the struggle for favour of the little pig lamb like, grunted, bumpkin brother-in-law, you see, don’t look at you married to the fifth sister, but the fifth sister is still good to me, you can only be rowed back ……
“Silly child, what are you polite with sister, hehe, there is one more.”Li Shu squinted her eyes and smiled as she said in a delicate voice, talking as if she found another grass, then curled her pink jade finger and flicked it again.
Thud.
The sound was quite crisp.
“Fifth sister is so nice.”The bear child tilted up his little chubby face and thanked Li Lishu, moved beyond belief.
After thanking Li Lishu, the bear child once again proudly turned his little chubby face to look at Zhu Pingan and proudly hummed twice.
