Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On a rare sunny day, the sun rises slantingly from the east and shines on Kaifeng City.

    What¡¯s rare is that Fang Jinshi actually got up early for once. He had already taken leave and didn¡¯t have to go to Kaifeng Mansion today. He opened the door and walked out. A group of sparrows that were pecking on the ground at the door were frightened and quickly flew to the eaves.

    Fang Jinshi felt that his house was otherwise okay, except that there were too many birds, especially sparrows and swallows, a few magpies, and even a few crows that occasionally came from nowhere.

    Although Shi Quan helped him find some women to do cleaning work, they always cleaned up in the front, and some scattered bird droppings came later. Fang Jinshi walked down the street more than once with bird droppings on his clothes and went to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.  change.

    He was a little annoyed by these birds. It was no wonder that the mansion had been abandoned for a long time. It was a big place and there were many trees, so of course there were more birds. Fang Jinshi called Deng An and Wei Chong to dig out the bird's nests several times.  , he was very interested in this, but an older man at the gate told him that it was "unlucky" to dig out bird's nests. He also said that when there were more people in the future, there would be fewer birds. Although Fang Jinshi didn't believe it, he didn't believe it.  Let it go.

    He walked to the front and washed his face. Because he was going to treat a guest today, the mansion had already prepared it early. He wanted to help but was unable to help, so he went to the backyard by himself.

    The courtyard has been repaired a long time ago. The weeds were removed, some new flowers and plants were planted, and the damaged stone slabs on the road were replaced with new ones. Fang Jinshi walked to the wall and saw the big stone locks. He remembered that night, Na Luo Yangao  Chong Yi held one in his hand and waved it up and down. Fang Jinshi walked over and held one in both hands. He suppressed his blush before he could barely lift it up. He didn't give up and lifted the stone lock and moved it from one side of the wall to the other.  After letting go, he fell down on the grass, already tired and panting like an ox, and his whole body was sweating.

    After giving it a real try, he understood the difference and admired Gao Chong's magical power even more.

    As he was sitting on the ground panting, a sister-in-law from the mansion hurriedly came over and reported that a woman at the door had brought a lot of things and came to see him.

    Fang Jinshi knew that both Deng An and Wei Chong had gone to the street to discuss the banquet at this time. They were not in the house and did not get up from sitting on the ground. He asked the sister-in-law, "What kind of woman?"  What was it like? After a moment of embarrassment, she said, "Yes by the way, she said she came from the northwest."

    Fang Jinshi was overjoyed. It must be Liang Cuirong who has arrived. He didn't expect her to come so quickly. He hurriedly said to the sister-in-law: "Hurry up and bring her into the house. This is the young lady who has arrived." The sister-in-law hurried over, and Fang Jin  Shi Ben wanted to run over to greet him, but he saw that the clothes on his hands were covered with dust and his face was sweaty. He was afraid that Liang Cuirong would scold him when he saw it, so he went to the pool to wash himself first, patted the dirt off his clothes, and said to his heart  To be honest, at certain times, Fang Jinshi was still a little afraid of her. Liang Cuirong had been in charge of the people in the world for a long time, so she was naturally a bit majestic.

    He ran to the front yard and saw that there were indeed a few unfamiliar servants in the yard, moving several large boxes. Fang Jinshi ran to the main hall in front of the guests. Without waiting to enter, he smiled in the corridor and said: "Host."  Madam Zhai, you are finally here."

    He didn¡¯t walk well either, so he jumped over the threshold and jumped in. He and Liang Cuirong were having fun in the boudoir, so they often called her Mrs. Yazhai.

    There was a tall woman standing in the main hall. The woman turned around, but it was not Liang Cuirong, but Huang Jinmian.

    Fang Jinshi was very surprised and felt embarrassed. He had preconceptions that it was Liang Cuirong who came from the northwest of Shaanxi, but he didn't expect that Huang Jinmian would also come to him. Once he said it, he couldn't take it back.

    The long golden figure with a jade-like expression looked calm and looked at him and said: "Leader Fang Da has been a bandit for a few days, and now he wants to snatch all the women in the world and make them wives." Although she meant to tease Fang Jinshi.  , but her tone was quite normal and very bland. She was wearing light blue clothes and just put on some light makeup. She was very different from the high-spirited look she had when she was in Shaanxi with Zhao Zicheng.

    Now that Zhao Zicheng is married, he has not left her with any thoughts. It has been a long time, and I am afraid that her heart has stopped. She is not the kind of woman who likes to hide. It is difficult for her to pretend to be okay even if she puts on a smile.

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "It turns out that Miss Huang is here. Just now, I thought it was my wife who has arrived. I'm sorry." He thought that he had just told the sister-in-law that his young lady had arrived. When those people came in to welcome Huang Jinmian,  , it is inevitable to call her young lady or something like that.

    "The boxes in the yard are full of books," Huang Jinmian said. "They are all given to you by the Master's orders. He asked you to take a closer look at them when you have free time."

    Fang Jinshi walked to the courtyard and opened the lid of a box. As expected, there were books one after another. He picked up one at random. The title of the book was "Tai Gong's Six Taoist Commandments". It turned out to be an ancient soldier's book.Book.

    He flipped through the box and found that most of the books in the box were about military weapons and the like, as well as some local county annals, and some miscellaneous books that he couldn't understand at all. There were actually a few books with Khitan characters in large characters, but  But none of them are orthodox Confucian books.

    Fang Jinshi threw the books into the box, why: "I can't understand these books at all, Prince Xiu thinks so highly of me." Huang Jinmian said: "Prince Xiu spent a lot of effort to find all these books.  If you understand it or not, I have no control over it, I just sent it here under orders."

    Fang Jinshi asked: "When did Miss Huang come to the capital? Has Prince Xiu arrived here too?"

    Huang Jinmian only answered the second half of his sentence: "Young Master arrived the day before yesterday." Fang Jinshi was delighted and said: "I happened to be moving in today to entertain guests. I didn't know that Prince Xiu had arrived. If he is free, I would like to invite him to come."

    "I'll tell him when I get back," Huang Jinmian said nonchalantly. She said nothing more, took the person out and left.

    Fang Jinshi asked people to put all the books in the back. Around noon, everything was ready. Some friends and colleagues he met in Kaifeng Mansion had already come to congratulate him. These people had no deep friendship with Fang Jinshi and were just there to show off.  Shi Quan put down his business in the store and came over to help him greet the customers. The Feng brothers who ran an oil shop also came over for a drink. Many people came and laughed and complained about the bumpy road in front of his house. Fang Jinshi even laughed and said nothing.

    The sun was slowly setting in the west. Fang Jinshi didn't know many people, and moving into a new house was not a particularly important banquet. Those who came to the banquet left early. Fang Jinshi said to Shi Quan: "Everyone has left, it's closed."  How many drinks can we brothers have?"

    Shi Quan smiled and said, "It's okay, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time." He actually didn't want to go drinking with Fang Jinshi because their drinking circle, such as the Feng brothers, were all heavy drinkers, and drinking with Fang Jinshi was not satisfying.  .

    The two hugged their shoulders and were about to close the door and drink when Wei Chong at the door said: "Master is here." The two looked back and saw two gorgeous carriages approaching from a distance. The two carriages were originally very fast.  It was fast, but it immediately slowed down when we reached the bad road in front of his house.

    Huang Jinmian was sitting on a carriage in front. She jumped down and took out a wooden box from the carriage, hugged it and placed it on the ground. She followed Zhao Zicheng out of the carriage and said to Fang Jinshi with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, congratulations."

    He always wore ordinary clothes, was polite to others, and was steady in his work. Fang Jinshi had a very good impression of him, and he was so busy that he came forward to greet him. The person driving for him was Shao Yun. They were all acquaintances with Wei Chong, and Shi Quan was there.  I also recognized the place in Shaanxi and came to say hello.

    Someone also got out of the second carriage, and it turned out to be King Yun Zhao Kai. He straightened his turban and said to Fang Jinshi who came to greet him: "This road is very uncomfortable at the top. Why don't you find someone to repair it?"

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "I don't have much spare money at the moment. Next time my third brother comes to my humble home, I will definitely repair it." Zhao Kai laughed and were welcomed into the house together with Zhao Zicheng.

    Fang Jinshi was still thinking that none of the important people he invited came, and he was a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, two princes came at once.

    At that moment, the banquet was held again in the middle hall of the living room. Huang Jinmian handed the small box in his hand to Wei Chong. Fang Jinshi said beside him: "Miss Huang, is this another book given to me by the young master?" Shao Yundao said: "It's wine, ten years  The peach blossoms in the cellar are drunk.¡±

    Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t know much about wine, but he saw Shi Quan next to him sniffing his nose twice when he heard the name, as if he could smell the aroma of the wine without opening the lid.

    After opening the peach blossoms that had been stored for ten years and pouring them out, Shi Quan saw that Fang Jinshi was chatting and laughing with the two princes, but he didn't seem to be interested at all, and he was happy for him in his heart.

    Halfway through the banquet, Zhao Zichen said: "Third brother has recently been ranked among the top three in high school, which is very gratifying. I have a few calligraphy and paintings here, and I would like to ask third brother to give me some advice."

    Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Xiushan, I remember seeing your handwriting when I was young, but I haven't seen it for many years."

    Zhao Zixuan laughed and said, "I'm hiding my clumsiness." He asked Shao Yun to go outside to the carriage and bring in a few calligraphy and paintings, and presented them to Zhao Kai for inspection.

    These calligraphy and paintings include small regular script, cursive stickers, and several pictures of flowers, birds, and trees. These paintings and calligraphy should have been written not long ago. The paper is very new, and the mounting was done recently. There is no signature or seal.

    Fang Jinshi knew nothing about these paintings and calligraphy. He just watched Zhao Kai nod slightly while reading. He looked at it very carefully. After finishing the last painting, Zhao Kai closed the painting and said to Zhao Zichen: "These paintings by Xiushan show his skill."  , It really has the charm of an official family, I don¡¯t need to say anything else."

    Zhao Zichen said: "As the third brother said, this painting is really good." He turned to Shao Yun and said: "Take it."

    Fang Jinshi sawYun Yun stepped forward to take away the painting, and suddenly remembered that Shi Quan had told him that he would buy a bookshelf and hire someone to paint and decorate his main room. Now that Zhao Zicheng had sent books in the morning, if he wanted these calligraphy and paintings again, he would  It saves trouble and money. He has always been thick-skinned, so he immediately stood up and said: "Master, can you give these calligraphy and paintings to me? You see, the walls in my hall are empty. Hanging them will definitely add a lot of color."

    When he said this, Lian Shi shook his head secretly, thinking that this brother of mine is so good at taking advantage of others.  Zhao Zicheng didn't care. He looked at Fang Jinshi and said, "It's not that I'm stingy and won't give it to you. These paintings were made by Jin Yatou. If you ask her for it, ask her if she will give it to you."

    As soon as he said these words, everyone's eyes turned to Huang Jinmian who was standing behind Zhao Zicheng. There was a rare hint of shyness and embarrassment in her expression. Zhao Kai said with a smile: "I didn't say it just now, these paintings are just that."  , but there is a soft powdery air between the handwriting. I was still thinking about how Xiushan¡¯s handwriting could be like this, but it turns out that it was done by the girl next to you."

    Zhao Zichen said: "I heard that it was a woman who did it, but you changed your story again." Zhao Kai said: "No, not to mention these words, if these paintings are sold, they can be sold for a lot of money.  "

    Fang Jinshi said to Huang Jinmian: "Miss Huang, can you just give these paintings to me?" Huang Jinmian said calmly: "Prince Yun is a great talent, why don't you ask him for a few paintings, and I'll hang them here to spend my time."  Wouldn¡¯t it make people laugh if the time was set on fire?¡±

    Even though King Xiu and King Yun were present, Fang Jinshi asked her to give her some paintings, but she didn't give Fang Jinshi any face and refused directly. She also spoke so directly that it was unacceptable. After a while, she was burned. Of course she said  It's Liang Cuirong.

    Fang Jinshi was immediately furious and said to himself: What's so important? I will ask King Yun and King Kang to paint a few paintings for me and hang them on this wall. Isn't it more respectable than hanging paintings by a woman?

    Zhao Zichen said: "This girl of mine has a bad temper, but she is good at literature and martial arts. She has some skills in calligraphy, poetry, piano and painting, and her appearance is not bad. Third brother, please pay attention to see if the handsome young man under his command can like her."  It¡¯s also good for her to have a home.¡±

    Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Xiushan, you have to do even this. Masters like you are rare."

    Zhao Zicheng laughed and said: "Although Jin Yatou is not a lady, don't think about those who live in side rooms. They have lower status and wealth. I, Prince Xiu'an, will be her backer."

    Fang Jinshi looked sideways at Huang Jinmian. When she heard Zhao Zicheng speak like this, there was no shyness or other expressions on her face, as if what King Xiu said had nothing to do with her.
