Prosperity and luxury: Mrs. Tsundere is too headstrong
Chapter 207 Grinding Ink
Situ Guduan appeared at the door with graceful steps, followed by Edward, who has always been aloof.
He walked to her side calmly and put his arms around Xi Manqing's waist.
Wei Shichen's eyes fell on Situ Guduan's hand, then shook the cufflinks in his hand, and said to Situ Guduan with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Situ for the cufflinks, they are quite suitable."
"You bought it?" Situ Guduan put his eyes on Xi Manqing's face, looking thoughtful.
Xi Manqing shrugged, and took the initiative to hook his arm: "I went out for a stroll today, swiped your card, and spent your money. It seems that I spent a lot. Is this considered Madam Situ's welfare?"
Situ Gu Duan cooperated with her gently: "It's just as long as you are happy."
Li Qingcheng shook the gift in his hand while watching the excitement, and then said to Situ Gu Duan, "Little Pepper is really good at appreciating it. I just like that Little Pepper understands me so well. Gu Duan, when will If you want to divorce your sister-in-law, remember to inform me, there is really no one in the world who understands me so well except my mother and Xiaojiali."
"Edward, how long has Second Young Master lived in Fort Situ?" Situ Gu Duan looked at Edward suddenly and asked.
Edward said accurately: "Second young master checked in the second day after the young master returned to Fort Stuart."
"I've lived here for so long, let him pay the rent, water and electricity bills! Don't count the odds, just the whole thing." Master Situ said 'with great mercy'.
Li Qingcheng wailed immediately, "Gu Duan, you definitely don't have true love for me!"
Situ Jingshu smiled and patted Li Qingcheng's shoulder: "Give me the rent, water and electricity directly! You can also buy a few limited edition bags from Hermès."
"..." Hermès' limited edition bags, how many more?
Isn't Gu Duan planning to make him pay the rent, is he planning to kill half of his life?
Vishmo didn't care about Li Qingcheng's life or death, but took the expensive watch from Xi Manqing from the hand of Suzanne next to him, looked back at Xi Manqing and said, "Miss Xi has such a good eye, I'm a little curious to give it to you." What is it for you?"
Wei Shimu scanned the pile of gifts next to him, and looked at Xi Manqing with great interest, looking like he was watching a good show.
Xi Manqing stood where she was, instantly embarrassed as if struck by lightning...
It seemed that she had thought of everyone's gifts, even the gifts of An Xiaoliu and An Xiaoqi.But she only forgot the most important man, her husband...
Xi Manqing's embarrassment was instantly apparent.Dai Dai, who was shopping with Xi Manqing, knew very well what Xi Manqing had just bought.
So when Wei Shichen's thoughtful eyes were on Xi Manqing's face, Daidai immediately stood up and looked at Wei Shimu and said: "What gift will the couple want to give, of course, we will talk about it when we go back to the bedroom. Besides, I will buy it for you." You can’t spread out the private things on the table for you to see! Do you think so? Man Qing?”
"..." Generations of words have already said this point, Xi Manqing has to pretend to nod even if she pretends.
So in the end she could only nod embarrassingly, then turned her head with a smile on her face, and said to Situ Guduan with a smile: "I'll tell you what I'll give you in the evening, okay?"
Situ Guduan raised the corners of his lips meaningfully, pinched the woman's chin and placed a shallow kiss on her beautiful red lips.
Xi Manqing blushed, still silent in the public kiss just now.
Gu Zhi didn't know why he suddenly stood up and looked at Situ Gu Duan and said: "When I get angry, I will really stab people with a knife! Xiao Manman, tell me quickly, tell me you were forced by Situ Gu Duan!! "
Dai Dai jumped up and patted Gu Yi: "Aren't you stupid? Can you blush when you are forced?"
After saying this from generation to generation, Xi Manqing's face turned even redder...
Gu Zhi looked back at Dai Dai: "Can't you blush because you are angry? Don't you blush when you are angry?"
"My face is green, can't I?" Dai Dai gave Gu Yi a supercilious look.
Gu Zhihu laughed loudly: "Are you sure it's not black? The kind that looks like Guan Gong!"
"Does Guan Gong have a dark face? The one with a dark face is Bao Gong!!" Dai Dai shook his head speechlessly: "Where did you learn this culture from?"
"..." Gu Zhi was finally defeated.
It was also thanks to the quarrel between these two live treasures that at least Xi Manqing was not so embarrassed.
During dinner, Stuart, the head of the family, came back. Looking at the gifts in the hall that hadn't been packed yet, he looked at Vishmol with a smile on his face: "Annabelle, did you buy this?"
Vishm smiled and shook his head, still so noble and elegant.
This is the first time Xi Manqing heard that VSM's English name is Annabelle.Sure enough, he is as noble as himself, so noble that people will feel a sense of distance after hearing it.
Only then did Stuart put his gaze on Xi Manqing's face: "Is it Manqing?"
Stuart is an all-powerful man in the mall, but in the family, he makes Xi Manqing feel very warm, like that kind of wide and deep ocean.
The kind that can be inclusive of all rivers, and can also set off turbulent waves.
And at least judging from Stuart's expression at this moment, he is inclusive.
Xi Manqing nodded in embarrassment, then took a dark gray gift box and handed it to Stuart.
"I've never given a gift to my father before, and I don't know what is suitable. When I see it, I think it suits you very well, as long as you don't dislike it."
In fact, Xi Manqing didn't plan to give it at first, but when she saw this gift, she thought it was very suitable for Stuart, so she bought it for no reason.
Although she was afraid that it would be embarrassing if Stuart didn't like it, she also knew that as a well-rested person, she would not embarrass herself too much.
The corners of Wei Shimu's lips twitched, and he looked at Xi Manqing with a somewhat optimistic expression.
You must know that Stuart has always been very difficult to serve, although as far as the family is concerned, he is indeed a gentle and harmless elder.But for his basic necessities of life, he can't be sloppy at all.
Everything, every detail, is arranged by him personally, and then he personally gives orders.
The people under him will be [-]% to the point of being picky to complete the order.
Therefore, Wei Shimo can almost [-]% conclude that no matter what Xi Manqing gave, it must not be liked.
Therefore, Wei Shimu watched the show with a smile: "Uncle, why don't you open it and see if it suits you."
Xi Manqing had already seen through Wei Shimu's gloating expression.So I was already prepared to be laughed at for a while.
Stuart didn't expect that Xi Manqing would prepare a gift for himself, and he just felt heavy when he took the gift box.
People living to this age can't help being a little curious.
He opened the gift box, and there was an inkstone lying quietly inside.
Inkstone, also known as research, is one of the traditional handicrafts of the Han nationality. Inkstone, together with brush, ink and paper, is called the four treasures of the traditional Chinese study and is an essential tool for Chinese calligraphy.
Although Stewart has a quarter of Chinese blood, so he has the surname Situ, he was born in England when he was a child, and then moved to the United States. After living for a period of time, he returned to England again.
Naturally, the education received is also from European and American countries. I am afraid that I have learned a lot about the four treasures of the study, but I don't understand much.However, it is obvious that Xi Manqing's inkstone will never be given as he likes.
Sure enough, Wei Shimu obviously looked at the inkstone and frowned.
When Xi Manqing was a little embarrassed, Situ Guduan said to Stuart: "If you don't like this inkstone..."
"It's not that I don't like it, but I've never seen this brand before, and I don't know which famous artist it is from." Stuart set his sights on Xi Manqing.
Xi Manqing raised the corners of her lips in embarrassment, and said with some embarrassment: "This is a store I accidentally bumped into when I was lost. It is full of very old things, and it is run by an old man in his sixties. The origin of the inkstone is unknown, and I just bought it because I saw it was quiet and elegant, with beautiful pictures and texts. Now that I think about it, it seems that the price has dropped a bit..."
Xi Manqing shyly reached out and approached the inkstone, trying to take back the inkstone in Stuart's hand.
But Stuart dodged his hand all of a sudden: "Manqing, do you still want to take back what you sent?"
Xi Manqing immediately shook her head: "No... I'm just afraid that you don't like this, so..."
"I know that the inkstone, pen, ink, and paper are the four treasures of the traditional Chinese study, and they are the essential utensils for Chinese calligraphy. When I was young, I knew a little bit about calligraphy, but now I haven't written for a long time, and I'm unfamiliar with it. Manqing, you Can you write?" Stuart suddenly became interested when he mentioned this.
He speaks Chinese very well. It is reported that the first sentence Stuart would speak when he was a child was Chinese.
Xi Manqing smiled and shook her head: "I can't write well, but I'm quite good at grinding ink."
"Oh?" Stuart was obviously interested, turned his head and asked Edward to prepare a pen, ink and paper, and then asked Xi Manqing to go to the study together.
Grinding ink is an easy job to say, but it involves a lot of attention. The reason why Xi Manqing grinds ink is because her mother is good at writing calligraphy.
Although the mother mistakenly became a KTV resident singer in order to make a living, she couldn't change the arrogance and arrogance in the mother's bones.
So Xi Manqing rubbed ink beside her mother when she was a child, and naturally she polished ink well.
Fortunately, Situbao's study room is big enough, otherwise there are so many people crowded in the study room, I'm afraid they will be suffocated.
"Ink sticks are like soap, ground like a knife, and ink sticks are ground in an inkstone. They can be ground well when mixed with water, and ink can be finely adjusted to distinguish five colors, thick, light, and clear. This is what my mother taught me when I was young. I didn't expect it now. Remember..." she said with a smile.
Stuart was fascinated: "I saw you grinding ink with your left hand, what's the trick to grinding ink?"
Xi Manqing nodded with a smile: "It should be considered yes! That's what I just said. Grinding ink should be light and slow, keep the ink level, and make circles vertically on the inkstone, don't grind obliquely or push straight. Grinding ink Use water, rather less than too much, and grind thicker, add water and grind again. Use clear water to grind ink, not tea or hot water. The ink must be ground to a moderate thickness, not too thick or too light. After grinding, put the ink in the box, so as not to dry out. It takes a long time to grind ink, so in order to avoid fatigue in the right hand, it is best to practice grinding with the left hand.”
Xi Manqing's calm and breezy words instantly attracted everyone's appreciation.
You must know that Xi Manqing has been known for so many years from generation to generation, but they never knew that she still has this ability.
He walked to her side calmly and put his arms around Xi Manqing's waist.
Wei Shichen's eyes fell on Situ Guduan's hand, then shook the cufflinks in his hand, and said to Situ Guduan with a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Situ for the cufflinks, they are quite suitable."
