Winning every step of the Red Mansion

111

Today is quite different from the past.Early on, Jia She went to Jiamu's place to say hello, because some old friends had made appointments many times, and they really couldn't shirk. .

This has just celebrated Lao Taishan's birthday, although he was in poor health a while ago, he has been recuperating for a while.On this birthday, I saw that the old man was in good spirits and completely free from illness.Only then did they meet and hurriedly called themselves over, there must be something wrong.Jia Amnesty couldn't figure out the reason, so he immediately rode to Zhang's mansion, and asked someone to deliver a letter to his old friend, saying that he would come back later.

"I don't know why Master Yuezhang ordered my son-in-law to come here today?" Jia She stood aside respectfully, waiting for the old man to speak.Seeing that the old man said a few words first, but the old man Zhang didn't take the initiative to say the reason. Jia She still missed the promise of old friends in his heart, so he couldn't help asking first.

"My son-in-law, can you include a Sichuan plain post in your birthday present this year?"

Hearing this, Jia Amnesty was delighted, there were a lot of guests that day, because this Sichuan plain post was not the real one, but a copy of Mr. Zhang himself, so it is not good to show it in public.Therefore, Jia Amnesty didn't specifically donate it, he just offered it along with the congratulatory gift, and it was just marked on the gift list that it was a copy.There were a lot of people coming and going that day, and the old man didn't take a closer look. He probably called himself here because he remembered this matter today.

"In Laotai Mountain, there is a plain calligraphy from Shu, but unfortunately it is a copy." Jia Amnesty replied with a smile.I didn't point it out myself, after all, the old man had to figure it out for himself to be interesting.

Unexpectedly, what the old man said next really surprised Jia She.Mr. Zhang unfolded the silk book, carefully spread it on the desk, rubbed his hand carefully on the edge of the silk book, and said: "This Shu Su Tie is not a copy, but an authentic work!"

"Ah?" Jia She stared at Mr. Zhang with wide eyes, blinked in disbelief, hurriedly stepped forward and rushed to the side of the long case, opened his eyes and carefully looked at the Shu Su post, his tongue was a little awkward Quickly, he said, "Is this, this, the real thing?"

"What? I heard it's the real one, regret giving it to this old man?" Seeing Jia She's expression, Mr. Zhang smiled, stroked his white beard and said, "Let me ask you where did you come from? "

At this moment, Jia Amnesty hadn't recovered from the shock that the calligraphy was authentic.At this time, he rubbed his hand against his body, carefully held it up, looked at Mr. Zhang and said, "Old Taishan, is this really the real work?"

At this time, Mr. Zhang withdrew his smile, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and nodded, "My son-in-law, tell me why you got this post?"

The pain in Jia She's heart was not because he gave the calligraphy to his father-in-law, but because he recognized the original work as a fake before his own eyes, it was really shameful.At this time, when the old man asked about the origin of this word, he hurriedly put the post back on the table and explained the origin of this post one by one.Mr. Zhang also just listened quietly and didn't interrupt until Jia She finished speaking: "This word is a reward from Hu'er? Do you know who gave it?"

Jia She shook his head, Jia Hu doesn't live in the mansion now, he is the emperor's grandson's companion and stays with Mr. Han Qi every day, on the contrary, fewer people come back than when he was in Peng's mansion.It just so happens that the mansion has been cautious in words and deeds these few days because of the shop, and I have rarely left the mansion. I just listened to what my wife said about this matter. Not very concerned.Jia Amnesty then told the old man about it.

"That's the case, then let Hu'er come back and talk about it. I'll ask someone to invite you." Mr. Zhang nodded, and sent someone to invite Jia Hu, and then sent someone to Peng's mansion to invite Peng Luo to come too.

Jia Amnesty was a little confused at this moment, but a single word, although very precious, shouldn't be so.This time, looking at old man Zhang's serious face again, it was very different from the smiling face when he first entered the mansion.After much deliberation, Jia Amnesty also moved forward and said, "My lord father-in-law, do you have some background on this post? Forgive my son-in-law's blind eyes, I haven't seen the authenticity yet."

Mr. Zhang said: "It's not surprising that you can't see it. If I hadn't read the original post and just gave me a picture, I wouldn't be able to tell the authenticity of it. But if I read it, I would know it. Here are two more." After saying that, he asked someone to bring the other one as well.

Putting the two characters together, you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, or you are afraid of comparing goods, and you will immediately compare them.The font of this authentic handwriting is infinitely varied and extremely flexible. Because it is written on Shu silk, the ink is thick and sometimes light, which is wonderful and moving.Although a lot of effort has been put into the materials of this imitation copy, and the copying is also careful, but compared with the original post, it is not flexible enough, and most of the excitement of the ink changes is lost.

Jia Amnesty looked in admiration.Whether it's an authentic work or a copy, it's all good.It would be great if I could have one.

Before Jia Hu arrived, Peng Luo arrived quite quickly.After entering the study room, I saluted with the teacher, and when I turned around, I saw the stickers unfolded on the long case.Peng Luo has always been close to his teacher, so he tilted his head to take a closer look, it was as if he had been nailed in place with iron nails.

"This is this Shu Sutie? The real work?" Peng Luo took a deep breath and looked at his teacher, "Is this Wang Heng coming to Beijing? Teacher, why didn't you tell me earlier? This kid didn't even come to see him when he came to the capital." Once I see him, I will definitely not let him go..."

Mr. Zhang shook his head and said, "Wang Heng didn't come to Beijing?"

"Not going to Beijing?" At this time, it was Peng Luo's turn to be stunned. He took a step back, looked at Mr. Zhang and then at Shu Sutie, and lowered his head, muttered: "Isn't this post called Wang Heng's personal wear?"

"That's right. Now that it's posted, I'm afraid it's too late for his stubborn nature." Old Master Zhang sighed.

These words made Jia Amnesty even more confused, how could another Wang Heng come out so well?Could it be that his family kept the word?The word "passed away" was bought by others, and it took several times before it got into my own hands?But why should it be said to be a copy when it is clearly an authentic work?

Jia Hu also rushed over at this time, accompanied by Young Master Hanqi.Both of them were in a hurry.Entering the house, Jia Hu saw that his grandfather, father, and mentor were all there, and Penguin's face was quite solemn, and he was very frightened, thinking that he had made some big mistake.He hurriedly approached and knelt down to salute the three of them.

Mr. Zhang smiled a little when he saw Jia Hu, he hurriedly called him to him and asked him carefully before mentioning the words.Jia Hu was taken aback when he saw two paintings spread out on the table, and felt even more strange when he looked closely.It's not bad that I took a copy I got to my father as a birthday gift for my grandfather, but why does my grandfather still have another copy?Jia Hu tilted his head and looked at it without making a sound, but Mr. Han Qi was impatient, pointing to the original painting and said: "Jia Hu, isn't this the reward you got that day?"

"Who rewarded it?" The other three asked in unison.Unexpectedly being asked such a question, Mr. Hanqi was taken aback.After looking at the crowd, he said, "Isn't this rewarded by Uncle Zhongshun? Jia Hu came out on top in the poem competition that day. His Royal Highness, Uncle Wang and my father were all there that day, and they said they wanted to test our emperor The grandsons were talented in their studies, so they drew up topics at will, and because they agreed to accompany the readers to participate, I asked Jia Hu to compose a song too, but I won the first prize. This is a reward, and my father also rewarded it. I got a piece of She inkstone."

"It's exactly as you said." Jia Hu added from the side.

"Did you ever mention the origin of this post?" Peng Luo asked unwillingly.

Jia Hu shook his head, looked at Young Master Han Qi, but Young Master Han Qi also shook his head and didn't know.Seeing the two of them like this, Peng Luo also heaved a long sigh.

"Teacher, is there something wrong with this Shu Su post?" Jia Hu asked when he saw the serious expressions on everyone's faces.

Peng Luo glanced at Han Qi, then looked at Jia Hu and said, "This post was originally a family heirloom from a good friend of mine. My friend once said that this post would never leave people. Seeing the post now but seeing no one will only add to the sadness." That's all."

Seeing Peng Luo like this, Han Qi knew how inconvenient he was here, and said, "Because old master Zhang was in a hurry, I took Jia Hu along the way. Now that this matter is over, I will leave first."

Mr. Zhang opened his mouth to hold back a few words, and then ordered someone to send Mr. Hanqi out of the mansion.

After Mr. Hanqi left, Mr. Zhang cleared the servants in the house before he said, "Don't tell outsiders what happened today. Ruize, please order someone to go to Wang Heng's ancestral home to ask what's going on in his house now." Peng Luo quickly responded, with some melancholy on his face.Mr. Zhang sighed, looked at Jia She and said, "In the past, you asked me about the way of guarding the family, and I told you a lot. But I forgot to say the same thing. This is putting the cart before the horse. If you want to If the family business is prosperous and the children and grandchildren have successors, they should first cut off this desire for profit. This Wang Heng is an example. Shu Sutie is a good thing, but it is really foolish to guard this thing all his life. People, who can remember the person who owns it.”

Jia She hurriedly said: "My lord Yuezhang said yes, my son-in-law will remember."

Old Master Zhang looked at Jia Hu again: "Remember, too. If a person is born bound by an object, he will be no different from that dead object. This object can be tangible or intangible like this antique painting. Like power and fame."

Jia Hu was a little confused, but still nodded in response, saying that he remembered it.

Mr. Zhang sighed, and said again: "In today's peaceful and prosperous world, there are actually dark waves. Who knows how many days will be sunny and how many days will be rainy? When the sky changes is a matter of the sky, mere mortals like you and I can't control it. Now everyone is looking at the power and glory, and they are fighting for it. But how long will the bonus last? At one time you are alone in the limelight, but at another time you are in a quagmire and cannot extricate yourself. I don’t know where to get rid of the righteousness in my heart. Don’t be greedy Mo Zhi, you are already in the vortex, you still hope you know yourself."

The old man said this half-heartedly, but Jia She felt a little enlightened.A few days ago, the incident with the prince was not calm, and now it seems that there will be more disturbances.It’s still true what my old lady said, don’t think about what you have and don’t get it, worry about others, it’s better to take care of yourself, the sky will change, as long as the sky doesn’t fall.
