Chapter 76: The Little Princess Zhao Yan
There was a smell of ink in the yard, and the smell of rice paper books also floated in the air.+
"Hey~, Mr. Liu is here."
"Mr. Zhang, when did you come to Jinling? Why is there no news at all?"
"I just came from Yangzhou last night. Today is the day of our Jinling Book Club. How could I not come?"
"Look at Miss Liu, Miss Chen, Miss Li, I'm here. I didn't expect that they would be more charming than last year after not seeing each other for a year."
...
They are all from the Jinling Book Club, and everyone is familiar with them. Old friends in groups of three or three gather together to chat, and it seems that they have not met for a long time.
Qin Mu was the only one left in the corner, and many people saw him, but no one knew him. He thought it was the family member brought by a new member, so no one paid attention to him.
Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun went to say hello to their old friends. Zhao Yingcai was still chatting with people there. Chen Yuanyuan and Qin Mu said a few subtle words and went to say hello to their old friends. Qin Mu found a chair and sat down.
He didn't eat breakfast and lunch yet, so he tasted the refreshment on the table. Not to mention that it was quite delicious, he poured a cup of hot tea himself and drank it. He crossed his legs and started to eat melon seeds by himself. He really didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.
"Who is this person?"
"It seems I don't know you."
"Who brought the family? Are you that hungry?"
"Looks like he was with Miss Liu and Miss Li just now."
"No? I haven't heard of any young master who Miss Liu and Miss Li recently? You know, Miss Li and Miss Liu have many admirers, but I have never seen any young master whom they bring to this book club."
Several people looked at Qin Mu in a slant.
Qin Mu also felt that he was too casual and cried and stopped eating.
At some point, the little princess Zhao Yan came over. Her elegant jade face was carved with clear facial features. Her water-colored eyes were clear and bright, but she was cold and could see through everything. Her small and delicate nose, a small mouth as thin as cherries, rippling on her delicate and flawless face, and her pretty face showed a hint of charm and awesomeness.
She was wearing a light pink gauze dress and gently tied her waist with a Jicuishan white soft smoke. The edge of the skirt was embroidered with silver glittering threads layer by layer, which looked particularly eye-catching in a piece of light pink. The collar of the skirt was crossed with two silver brocade strips.
A long silk ribbon with wide cloud pattern wrapped around the bright arms, with a little powder applied, a black hair hanging down on the slender waist, and the three thousand blue hairs were slightly pinned with a crystal rose hairpin, revealing a quiet fragrance. A crystal necklace on the neck made the collarbone more and more clear, and the white jade bracelet on the wrist looked like snowy skin.
"Where are you eating?" Zhao Yan smiled.
Qin Mu stood up with a wry smile, and said awkwardly: "I didn't eat in the morning, I'm hungry."
Zhao Yan held back her hands, "Eat yours, it's okay."
"Who are you?"
Qin Mu came to his senses and looked at the beautiful woman in his 20s in front of him in confusion. When did he become so restrained, he became nervous when he was asked a few questions from this girl.
However, for some reason, the beauty in front of me gave me an invisible feeling of pressure. This feeling once felt in King Zhennan, but compared to King Zhennan, this girl put a lot less pressure on me.
"My name is Zhao Yan, I have heard of Mr. Qin's name very early."
Zhao Yan blinked her eyes and said with a smile, she didn't expect that at this book club, she could see the mysterious inventor of perfume. The real person was much younger than she thought. No wonder her father admired him so much.
Qin Mu looked at Zhao Yan in a daze. Zhao Yan smiled so charmingly. Even Qin Mu, a man who was used to seeing beautiful women, couldn't help but lose his mind.
"Young Master Qin, isn't it a bit rude to look at me like this?"
Zhao Yan said with a blushing face. Zhao Yan has not been stared at by a man so straightforwardly. After all, her identity is there, who dares to look at her so disrespectfully? It is this young master Qin who does not know her identity that dares to look at her like this.
"Haha, I was really embarrassed just now. The main reason is that you are so beautiful, which makes me lose my mind."
Qin Mu said awkwardly, it wasn't Qin Mu who said this on purpose, but was really shocked by the beauty of this beautiful girl. Her beauty was different from the temperament of a noble lady like Mu Yunxi, the purity of a small family like Hongxiu, and the mature beauty like Li Xiangjun and others.
It is a natural noble temperament, an innate noble temperament, and a beauty that people dare not look at directly at.
"Am I really beautiful?"
The little princess Zhao Yan asked happily, "Growing up so old, no man said that she was so beautiful." The first time she heard that she was beautiful from a man, the little princess Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Of course, the lady is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Qin Mu said, but he added two words "one" to his heart.
"Haha, it's really fun to talk to Mr. Qin." Zhao Yan said happily.
In this way, Zhao Yan was chatting with Qin Mu happily, and Qin Mu was also very happy. After all, the few people she knew were now greeting her acquaintances, and it was very boring to sit here alone. Now there is a beautiful woman chatting with her, which is a very pleasant thing.
"Sister Wu."
"Master Xu is here."
Someone came outside the door again.
Zhao Yan smiled and passed by.
After about a moment, almost everyone arrived.
"Everyone calm down first, haha, listen to me."
At this time, an old man with a very status in the book club spoke, summoned the people and said, "Today is the gathering time for our Jinling Book Club. Thank you for your participation. I am not very good at speaking, so I won't say much. Let's take the same rules. Let's get the lottery first and then have a meal. What do you think?"
"OK"
"Listen to you."
"Haha, it's another competition?"
"Mr. Xu, what's the lottery this year?"
Everyone was expecting it and asked with a smile.
Every year, book friends gatherings cannot run through this competition.
The old book friend, Lord Xu, curled his lips slightly and waved to his two disciples beside him, asking them to spread a piece of words in the air, "I'll give you an ugly word. This is a piece of words from a year ago. Now I'll take it out as a lottery. The old rules will be the one who gets the first prize."
Lord Xu's word?
This year I've invested a lot!
You should know that Master Xu Lang and Xu are a famous calligraphy master in the Qin Dynasty. Everyone knows that a calligraphy by Mr. Xu can be sold for tens of thousands of taels even if it is an ordinary one. If it is a good one, for example, if it is sold today, if it is sold, it can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan if it is low. If it is high, it will be counted. If it really happens, it will be willing to shoot for hundreds of thousands if it is liked.
"Good words"
"Mr. Xu is really willing to do it."
"Then we can't be polite."
Everyone was eager to try it out, and they were very jealous. This was the word of a master of calligraphy, but it was hard to come by.
At this time, Zhao Yan pulled away from the people she knew and returned to Qin Mu.
"Miss Zhao." Qin Mu also looked at the letter in surprise, "Who is that person?"
Zhao Yan almost fainted, "Ah? You don't even know Mr. Xu? He is the only remaining calligraphy masters who are still alive in our Qin Dynasty. He is still the teacher of the current emperor and the crown prince. He is the first-rank prince's teacher and is now the president of our Jinling Book Club."
In ancient royal families, because the prince often lives in the East Palace, "East Palace" became the nickname of the prince, which is "Palace". "Crown Prince Shaobao" is the official responsible for teaching the prince, so he gets the abbreviation of "Gong Bao".
This official system was first established in the previous dynasty. Its origin can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty. In the Zhou Dynasty, the Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were appointed, collectively called "Three Dukes"; the Shaoshi, Shaofu, and Shaobao were also appointed, collectively called "Three Gu", which was the deputy of the "Three Dukes". Among them, "Shao" is the deputy, and they were second only to the special official positions of "gong" higher than the "qing".
The above "Three Dukes" and "Three Orphans" are also collectively called "Shi Bao". "Shi Bao", "Fu" and "Bao" all contain the dual meanings of assistance and teaching.
For example, Taigong Jiang Shang (Ziya) was listed as "Shi" in his rank, and King Wu of Zhou respected him as "Shi Shangfu". Later, the Former Qin Dynasty followed the official system of the Zhou Dynasty and added the positions of "Six Treasures of the Crown Prince" outside the "Three Dukes" series, specializing in teaching the crown prince. They were: "Crown Prince Taishi", "Crown Prince Taifu", "Crown Prince Taibao", collectively known as "The Third Division of the East Palace", "Crown Prince Shaoshi", "Crown Prince Shaofu", and collectively known as "The Third Division of the East Palace".
After the Qin Dynasty, the "Sixth Tutors of the Crown Prince" were already famous and had different positions. They were only given as a title of official title and added title. They were about a modern "military rank" and were not a real position. Many officials who had never been a teacher to the Crown Prince could also be awarded the title of "Sixth Tutors of the Crown Prince".
Qin Mu exclaimed: "I didn't expect it to be the prince's grand tutor. His words are so artistic."
Zhao Yan said: "Of course. With the name Lord Xu on it, people who love calligraphy will flock to it. A draft is valuable."
Qin Mu graduated from the Chinese department and has a good eye and appreciation of calligraphy. He knows that the calligraphy in front of him is absolutely extraordinary and is much better than the calligraphy of the famous masters he has seen in his previous life. He is worthy of being a master of calligraphy. This character is written with a high level and cannot be written by people without decades of experience.
"Why, do you like this word?" Zhao Yan asked with a look at him.
"It's okay."
Qin Mu just simply thought that the handwriting was very good and had no other ideas. His heart was not in the field of calligraphy. To put it simply, this handwriting was not as real as Zhao Yan's "art photos" of not wearing clothes. That's so powerful.
I have to say that Qin Mu is still quite dirty inside. If he doesn’t come, he will think about the wrong place.
