Chapter 13: The Heroine in Gong Douwen (13)

It was a sunny day when Su Yuan and Saturday Lang met, and the weather was extremely hot. He was still wearing spring clothes, but it made people feel the heat of midsummer.
On Saturday Lang came to the Guogong Mansion in the name of sending characters, and he did bring three characters, one was just written yesterday, and two were selected from the past works. It cannot be said that it is his life. The best work, but definitely voted for Uncle Su's preferences.
Since he was going to the gate of the Guogong Mansion, Saturday Lang did not only bring three characters, including candied fruit, fruit, and snacks, all of which were made in the mansion and uploaded by the ancestors, which cannot be bought outside. It is not expensive, it can only be regarded as a rarity.
Su Yuan wore a white dress today. Her hair was combed by A-niang's handwriting. It is also a fashionable bun at the moment. The headdress is not cumbersome, only two hosta are inserted, and the ears are made of pearls. The clothes are very commensurate.
Women are pretty and filial.
It can be seen that A-niang is going to dress her up. Su Yuan still likes this style. She is at home and does not ride horses or go to the market, so she won’t get dirty with her white clothes this month. .
It’s also a coincidence. Not only Su Yuan wore a white shirt today, but Zhou Jialiulang also wore a white shirt today. The male family didn’t need any headdress, or a hair band or a hairpin. You can choose There is not much room for it, but Saturday Lang wears a hosta on his head today. Even the color is very similar to the hosta on Su Yuan's head, and the pattern is different.
With such a coincidence, Su Yuan had a smile on his face before he said hello.
In the dynasty, there was no custom of men applying rouge and gouache, so this Zhou Jialiulang, who looks better than Pan An, has a plain face, which makes it easy to find the blush on his cheeks.
Obviously the other party was seven years older than her, but Su Yuan felt that compared with herself, Saturday Lang was the one who was nervous.
On Saturday Lang was a fifth-grade official of the imperial court. When he saw the princess Zhengyi-pin, he had to pay two salutes, that is, to bow his hands twice.
When I met Zhang Yuting, Su Yuan was already a princess, but she was on a blind date after all, and she was the princess who was sealed halfway, so Zhang Yuting did not bow, and Su Yuan did not go into details.
But Saturday Lang simply did not wait for Su Yuan to speak, the two prayers were over.
I have to say that when Saturday Lang doesn't talk to others, he looks better than ordinary people even with his hands. Not to mention appearance or temperament, just the charm of people's salute is worthy of praise.
"In Huaicheng next week, people from Beijing, on the 22nd of this year, I like to read some miscellaneous books..."
The standard blind date opening remarks, coupled with the sincere and nervous face of Huaicheng last year, really makes people feel... violated.
Su Yuan had seen Zhou Huaicheng smashing people on the street, with sharp words and arrogant attitude. He was completely different from the person before her. If it weren't for the same face, she was afraid that she would suspect that someone was posing.
Since it is the standard mode of blind date, Su Yuan also followed Zhou Huaicheng's model: "Su Yuan, a person from Beijing, this year, I like to dance knives and sticks on weekdays. I like to go out and play. The more elegant hobby is calligraphy. Yes, but compared with Master Zhou’s handwriting, more practice is needed..."
Su Yuan had seen Zhou Huaicheng's words, not only her words couldn't be compared, but even Zhou Huaicheng's father who was as old as Zhou could not compare.
Although this person has a poor reputation abroad, he is very famous in the calligraphy and painting circles. If you don't say a word of money, there is always a gold for every word. It is hard to imagine that this person is only in his early twenties. What achievements will be made in painting and calligraphy in the future.
The two people's common preference is to practice calligraphy, and they started to exchange experience in calligraphy practice.
"In the beginning, I needed to practice writing skills. I tried to write on the wall, I tried to tie a sandbag on my wrist, and I didn't compare which of the two is more effective. I don't know how Master Zhou practiced writing?"
Master Zhou wanted to recommend some useful methods, but he did not think about these little skills, how did the husband teach them, how he practiced them, did not deliberately practice writing skills, and did not summarize the methods.
"Copy more copybooks from famous artists. After a long time, you will gradually find the feeling. Each family has its own strengths. The process of copying is the process of learning from the famous artists, and then leave the copybooks and slowly form your own style. "Zhou Huaicheng has racked his brains to say more.
In the past, no one asked him how to practice calligraphy, but he usually spoke concisely and directly told the other party to copy the copybook. It was as simple as it was. It was a simple thing.
Okay, Su Yuan is not incomprehensible. She has also encountered this kind of classmates in her school days. She doesn't need to go to class to listen to the teacher, and she can learn through the textbook. Asking is talent.
It's not that she hasn't copied famous copybooks. Even her father started copying famous copybooks in the early years, but not everyone can become a calligrapher.
Su Yuan is not discouraged, just like the original owner is born with supernatural power, God did not treat anyone wrongly, everyone always has something they are good at, and there is also something they are not good at. Although Lord Zhou is a master of calligraphy, calligraphy and piano, he still does not have one. Open your mouth that is not too pleasing.
Lord Zhou, who is not too pleasing, is trying his best to make himself more pleasing. He has to think about it three times before saying it. Since I saw Princess Anle, my mind has been a little confused. It does not affect his thinking, but the whole person is always in a state of excitement.
It was the first time that he saw Princess An Le up close, his eyes were brighter than he remembered, and his expression was more lively and lovely, and everything around him became a foil.
If he was asked to paint at this time, he would be able to paint Princess Anle's appearance on the painting without looking at Princess Anle, and it was a painting without a background, he should not be able to remember the scenery around it.
"I don't know when Lord Zhou met me? I have seen Lord Zhou on the street, but at that time Lord Zhou was talking with others, he should have not noticed me."
At that time, Lord Zhou was busy stunning people. He was obviously a character like a fairy, but he could lift his anger to heaven by opening his mouth.
"I have seen His Royal Highness several times outside the mansion. The first time it should be at Anshan Temple, in the maple forest on the back mountain, His Royal Highness was watching the scenery from the trees."
Not only did he see His Royal Highness sitting on a tree to watch the scenery, but also saw His Royal Highness climbing a tree, such a light and neat movement, with real skills and experience.
Su Yuan didn't remember meeting Master Zhou at Anshan Temple, but she usually climbed up a tree not to observe the scenery, but to rest on the tree, by the way...stupefied.
"Master Zhou, don't call me His Royal Highness. If you sound like a good man, just call me A Yuan. Everyone in my family calls me like that." Su Yuan's expression is not reserved and tactful, almost equivalent to expressing his heart.
Although she has never been in a relationship, she also knows the truth of'move when it is time to go'. This is not very different from doing business. There are good business opportunities to seize, and people who like it should naturally seize it. As for In the future, it depends on the ability.
Zhou Huaicheng is not a fool, even if he is still in an extremely excited state at this moment, it does not affect his thinking.
"A Yuan doesn't have to call me Master Zhou. My parents call me "Huacheng". When I was crowned, my teacher named me "Nine Thoughts." A Yuan can choose one."
"Nine thinking, but is it referring to a gentleman?"
Sages say that gentlemen have nine thoughts, which can be said to include all aspects of words and deeds. Taking this as a table word does contain the expectations of the elders for the younger ones.
"It is a gentleman's nine thoughts. My teacher took the word'nine thoughts' for me. One is that I can be a gentleman, and the other is that I can think more before speaking."
Zhou Huaicheng understood what his teacher meant, but sometimes his sharp words weren't because he hadn't thought about it. On the contrary, they were words that came after thought. Otherwise, how could his speech stand up?
"Jiusi, I will call you'Jiusi' from now on. This name sounds great."
More natural than Huaicheng.
Even the names have been changed. It can be said that they expressed their intentions. Zhou Huaicheng thought he would be called Brother Huaicheng or Brother Jiusi, but the name'Jiusi' came out of A Yuan's mouth, like a clear spring. It was pleasant to the ears, giving him an urge to touch the piano.
This matter was originally the man's begging for marriage, and Su's father and Su's mother were also more satisfied with Zhou Jia Liulang, but the two sons were spoiled with their children, and the success or failure depends mainly on Su Yuan.
Su Yuan spoke and responded, and the whole thing went into process.
Fifteen years old has reached the age of a woman's marriage, and those who are anxious, get married after fifteen. Although Su and his mother are not in a hurry, they can't stand the future son-in-law. The age of the son-in-law is indeed not young. At the age of being a father, this man has a high-sightedness, but he has always been alone.
As soon as the affairs of the two sons and daughters came to light, Zhou Huaicheng ran to the Guogong Mansion almost every day, and went to the government office to accompany his father-in-law back to the mansion. The reason was also ready, exchange calligraphy.
Send calligraphy and painting, send chess book, send food, send kite, send weapons...
"Or choose a good day for the two children to make a marriage. They are both old, Huaicheng is so hard, we have nothing to worry about."
Su's father was also considered convinced, and nothing more than calligraphy and painting. The kite sent to A Yuan was made by Huaicheng himself. It can be seen that he was really interested.
This child was hit by Tanhua Lang at the age of sixteen. It can be said that he has grown up under the eyelids of the yushi adults. He has never been close to female before, and has not had any thoughts, and he has the courage to speak in the court. Not afraid of offending people, not the kind of inconsistent people.
The true intention of being able to do this is evident.
Su's mother can't say anything else. Although Saturday Lang's name is Dayan, but since he can be so caring about A Yuan, he will definitely not compete with A Yuan in words.
I know this kind of appearance, and I've worked hard to this point. No matter how you compare, you won't find A Yuan more suitable than this.
She just couldn't understand her husband's resignation so soon, she had said earlier that she would leave her daughter for two more years, and it would not be too late to wait until she was seventeen.
"Saturday Lang wrote a good word, but didn't he just vote for your preference, people will do what he likes, you dad is anxious to marry your daughter?"
Father Su didn't care: "A Yuan is a princess, and I have agreed with Huaicheng that they will all move to the princess mansion in the future. Even the horse mansion is vacant, let alone stay at Zhou's house. Let's go to the princess. The government is still inconvenient. Even if you stay there for a while, it's not much different from before you got married."
If a daughter is married, if she stays at her in-law’s house, the maiden’s family will naturally not come home frequently, and there is not much reason to stay at the daughter’s in-law’s house. But the princess’s residence is different. It is the residence of her own daughter and does not belong to the in-law’s house.
If it is really said, the husband and wife is not like a marriage, but more like a marriage. As the father of the woman, there is nothing he is unhappy about.
"The Eight Characters have just been a little bit. You two have a long-term conversation. It's okay to settle down so that some people don't talk sourly. However, the Zhou family had asked the Emperor to go to the Emperor earlier on this matter. I came up to tell us that we still have to tell them about marriage arrangements before we can enter the palace and talk to the emperor."
A Yuan is Dayan's Anle princess. If you want to make a decision on the marriage, you have to have the upper hand to give you the marriage. Whether it is the emperor or the queen, the emperor and the queen can do it. One of the four must have a purpose.
"Then I will go to the palace with Huaicheng. A Yuan doesn't have to go this time. It is better for my daughter's family to be more reserved in this matter." Father Su said simply and neatly.
There will be a day off in two days, so you can take Huaicheng directly. Although the palace is on the outskirts of Beijing, the distance is not too far.
On this matter, Su's father and Su's mother did not ask their daughter's opinion. The two children get along well. Even if there is no intention to marry, and there is no marriage, this has already been laid out. It is a matter of time. .
As for Qi Guogong and Guogong's wife, just let them know.
The latter did not intend to marry his grandchildren, and his attitude had already been shown long ago. The former does not have that energy. You have to know that there are seven children in Sanfang, and they are all embarrassed, and Qi Guogong is worried. Aunt Wu's younger generations are too busy.
The government of Qi State has been divided into families, and each house is basically in charge of each house. Although Su Changping is the eldest son of the state, he has always been in charge of the second and third houses.
He always remembered how sad his mother was when he was young, so he was very disgusted with his aunts and concubines. He did not have aunts and concubines. He could avoid the aunts and concubines of his father. It is best to avoid meeting.
Being able to hold back Aunt Wu and Sanfang is not that he respects his father, but that he does not rarely work with these people. One is a rootless duckweed, who has nothing to rely on without his father, and the other is arrogant and conceited, through the government office. The contacts in the army for so many years have only been mixed into the third rank.
The third rank of military commanders, when it comes to their status in the court, is not as good as the fourth rank of civil officials.
There was no war on the border of the Dayan Dynasty, no enemy countries invaded, and no thieves rebelled. The generals would not be useful for decades at least. This is also one of the important reasons for his abandoning the military.
In fact, several of the families of these people who have been knighted for their military merits have already switched to Congwen decades ago.
It’s not too late for the government of Qi to start in his generation. As for the connections in the army, those who should be discarded must be discarded. Since Su Changqing has taken over those connections, it means that his house must be alienated from the third house. .
