Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Taishi Mansion, we arrived at the lobby of the Taishi Mansion. Before we entered the door, we saw Taishi Han in casual clothes and two women in the lobby. The servant in charge of reporting at the door also began to report: "Wait a minute.  The general is here with his three ladies!" Taishi Han inside also saw us at this time and came to greet us.  "Students pay their respects to the teacher, and to the two master wives!" I immediately bowed deeply and said as I walked into Taishi Han.  Feixue and the other three people also bowed down and said: "Ouyang Feixue, Qian Jing, and Zeng Yingying pay their respects to the teacher and the two master wives. Master Han laughed and quickly held my hand and said: "Why are you so polite? Come and invite me inside.  .  After saying that, they took my hand and walked towards the house. The two mistresses also took Feixue and the other girls, looked them up and down, and then praised them: "What three lovely people."  "After entering the lobby, I waved, and the servant took out the things. I picked up the painting, handed it to Taishi Han respectfully, and said, "It's been a while since the student came to Beijing and I haven't come to visit him yet.  Teacher, I hope you can forgive me.  Therefore, I am sending you a small gift, and I hope the teacher will accept it.  "Master Han took the box from me with a smile. When he opened it, he saw a picture scroll. His eyelids jumped immediately. He took out the picture scroll from the box, put the box on the table, and untied the thick rope that tied the picture scroll.  He opened the scroll and a Sanshui painting appeared in front of him. Having collected many famous paintings, he certainly knew the hand of this painting. When he saw the seal below, it was Huang Tingwei. He was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and said  : "This is an authentic work. I have five of his paintings in my collection, and this is the only one missing.  Don't know where you found it?  "I blushed slightly, but I didn't dare to take credit, and said, "I won't hide it from the teacher.  The person who found this painting was not a student, but a humble concubine.  ""oh?  "The Grand Master suddenly became interested, looked up at the three women who were talking to his two wives next to him, and said, "Who is it if it's not Tao?  Feixue Yingying bowed and said, "Feixue also loves calligraphy and painting. I found this painting by chance. I brought it to the capital this time."  Hearing that the Grand Master liked it, he borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha.  ""good!  The grand master nodded and said: "It is said that Deng Long's three wives, Feixue is good at calligraphy and painting, Qian Jing is good at martial arts, and Zeng Yingying is good at music. It is true."  "After he finished the compliment, he looked at the painting carefully and couldn't put it down. But not long after, he hesitated again on his face. He handed the painting to me and said, "This painting is too precious. I am here.  If you don¡¯t dare to accept it, you might as well take it back.  "I quickly said: "Teacher, this is the student's wish. Besides, the student knows nothing about calligraphy and painting, so this painting is left to the student, and the student does not know how to appreciate it at all. The so-called sword is given to a hero, and this painting is only in the hands of the teacher.  It won't be buried.  "What I said was very respectful. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "So I will accept it.  "After Master Han accepted my painting, Master's wife exclaimed next to me: "Look, sir, how exquisite this Buddha statue is."  "Master Han and I turned around and looked over. In her hand, she was holding the jade Buddha statue carefully and admiring it. It turned out that while I was talking to Master Han, Feixue also took out the jade Buddha statue.  It was handed into the hands of the Grand Master. "Master, this is our sincere wish, and we hope that the Master will accept it.  Feixue said with a smile. "This must be worth a lot of money, right?"  I accepted it and asked the housekeeper to deliver the money later.  "It seems that she likes this Buddha statue very much. "Don't embarrass them.  "The Grand Master smiled and said: "My student is not a simple person. Their Four Transport Chamber of Commerce is not short of this little money. If we give it away, it will look like we are being hypocritical.  Then he waved his hand and said to the steward: "Ask someone to take down all the gifts."  "The steward immediately called several servants up and collected all the gifts. In fact, as a grand master, no matter how exquisite and valuable my things are, if he is not willing, he will not accept them, and now he accepts them.  Accepting my gift does not mean that he is greedy for money, but that he has given me enough face. After the servants accepted all the gifts, a maid came up to report and said: "Master Qi, the food and wine are ready.  "The grand master nodded, indicating that he understood, and then made an invitation gesture and said: "Come, please come inside!  "Under the guidance of the Grand Master, we came to the restaurant in the lobby. A table of wine and food has been set on the table in the restaurant. The dishes are very exquisite, not the kind of big fish and meat. It seems that the style of the Grand Master's dishes is still elegant.  Lord, no wonder he was full of praise for Liu Ruyan¡¯s cooking that time. That¡¯s because the dishes Liu Ruyan cooked that day were very suitable for his taste. The whole meal didn¡¯t last very long, and I¡¯m not a very good drinker.  The master doesn¡¯t like drinking very much, so there was no such scene of drinking and drinking at the dinner. Everyone chatted casually during the meal, mostly about local customs and not involving any political matters. Taishi Han and I were also like  They were like a pair of teachers and students, with no barriers between them. And I could also see that the two teachers and wives present were very fond of the three girls. They kept bringing food to the three girls, and kept praising the three girls for being smart and smart.  Of course, the three girls did not waste the opportunity. They were also busy picking up food and wine for them, as if they were family members. Seeing this, I just sighed, if it weren¡¯t for the three girls Feixue who prepared gifts for me today, if it weren¡¯t for the three girls  If you come with me today, I will be embarrassed at the wine table today.For example, I don¡¯t know where to put my hands and feet. If I am the head of the family, then they are my diplomats.  If you have a wife like this, what else can you ask for, my wife!  It¡¯s better to do your own thing!  After the meal, everyone moved to the back garden. The two mistresses learned from the conversation that Yingying¡¯s piano music was excellent, so they intentionally or unintentionally expressed their interest in listening to it, and of course Yingying would not ignore them.  Feeling interested, he also expressed his willingness to contribute a few songs.  The two mistresses were very happy. When they got to the back garden, they asked someone to fetch the piano and the small table.  Yingying took the piano and put it on the small table. She played it a few times to test the sound. Then she adjusted it according to her own habits and started playing. The quiet night also gained a touch of elegance because of Yingying's piano sound.  Taishi Han and I were sitting about twenty steps away from them. This position was chosen by him. Seeing his behavior, I guessed that he had something to say to me.  Between us is a table made of stone. I don¡¯t know what kind of stone it is made of. The edge of the table is polished very smooth. Under the light of the light next to it, the table can also reflect the two figures placed on the table.  Teacups and a few plates with some exquisite snacks.  After listening to the sound of the piano for a while, he sighed slightly and said, "What happened last night was probably caused by the sound of the piano, right?" I nodded, and the third prince didn't see it at all.  We went upstairs, so he knew that Liu Ruyan was with us, and it must have been the sound of Yingying's piano that attracted him. Afterwards, we also learned from the shopkeeper of Xiangtianxia that it was the third prince who asked him to go over for questioning.  The prince's power was why the shopkeeper had to tell him, which led to some of the things that happened later. In the morning, I also mentioned the matter of Yingying playing the piano at the court. The grand master naturally knew the reason as soon as he guessed it.  "Then why did everything you said this morning in the main hall be all lies?" the Grand Master asked again.  "Lies?" I smiled faintly and said, "Does the teacher think that I dare to tell the truth? And why should I tell the truth?" "Why should I tell the truth?" Hearing this sentence, he was slightly startled, and then  He smiled and said, "I can't tell you are smart enough to see clearly what happened in the court this morning." I chuckled and said, "Eunuch Qi gave me a rough outline when I came here, and I also know some of the reasons. Yesterday  I am 80% sure that Concubine Zhen leaked what happened at night, and it must not be that simple for Yu Shi and others to use this to attack the third prince early in the morning. Maybe Concubine Zhen and Yu Shi are in the same group, I  What Deng Long dislikes the most is being used. If I tell him, it will not only be the third prince who will be unlucky in the end, but I will not be able to escape either. Although I will not be punished, I will definitely lose the emperor's trust in me, and of course  Teacher, if I told the truth, I guess I wouldn¡¯t be invited to your house as a guest tonight, and we wouldn¡¯t be able to chat here while drinking tea.¡± Taishi Han nodded and said: ¡°  Being able to judge the situation shows that you still have some foresight, but are you being too cruel to the censor today? That may arouse the resentment of other ministers, which will be very detrimental to you in the future." "Of course I know." I said  He spread his hands and said helplessly: "How do I know that the censor's endurance is so poor? He would vomit blood in just a few words. I didn't mean to do it. I just wanted to block his mouth, but?  ?????" I paused, my voice became a little cold, and said: "Since he chose to use me to achieve his own goals, he should check in advance whether I am so easy to use. To use others, always  You have to pay a price!" The Grand Master frowned slightly and said nothing.  Seeing his frown, I knew that he was not very satisfied with my words, so I continued: "Someone said that the dirtiest thing in the world is politics, which is full of countless invisible things. Since I have chosen to join the court as a  Official, I have never thought that I am very pure. Facing those who want to deal with me, I cannot passively fight. The so-called best defense is to attack!" "The censor and others have already disliked me some time ago.  If they are really Concubine Zhen¡¯s people, this is not difficult to understand. This time they want to use my power to bring down the third prince, and why don¡¯t I want to take this opportunity to eradicate them? But as far as the current situation is concerned, I  I won for the time being."
