Went into a few more bookstores, Brother Heng bought all the books that he wanted to buy, and even went to look through the "Mei Niangzi" that Xu Qilang had flipped through. After flipping through it, he knew that Mei Niangzi was "Mei Niangzi" The homonym of , telling a story of a red card for joy, the content inside is naturally very eclectic.

Brother Heng sighed in his heart, and put the book back silently. Xu Qilang turned around and saw that it was the book he put down, so he opened his eyes wide in an instant, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Oh, Don't read this kind of book."

Brother Heng glared at him, "How old are you, you only read this kind of book."

Xu Qilang confronted him with a red face, "I am older than you, Brother Heng."

Brother Heng turned around and left, ignoring him.

After entering the study shop, Xu Qilang felt uneasy before Brother Heng spoke to Xu Qilang. Brother Heng was holding a brush. Being extravagant, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and introduced the brush to him. Brother Heng just listened casually, feeling the softness and hardness with the brush on the brush in the palm of his hand.

Only a good brush can write good characters. Different brushes can write different characters. Brother Heng writes a lot every day and consumes a lot of brushes.

Thinking of going to Beijing, he might not be able to go out to buy pens for a period of time after entering Beijing, so he picked out a lot of pens. These pens were not cheap. The staff saw that he was a big customer at a young age, so he was very happy and kept weighing them. My brother talked to me and sold it well.

Brother Heng went to look for ink again, and the clerk introduced ink to him again, from the first-class and precious Shexian ink among Hui ink to the Xiupai ink that ordinary literati like to use. Xu Qilang, who was speechless, said, "What do you do with so much talk, you treat us as ignorant people, who doesn't know this. Let your shopkeepers take out good ink, it's not impossible to afford it."

This remark forced the guy to smile. Apprentice clerks in the study shop are usually handsome young men who can read and write. They are only in their teens, and their skin is quite thin.

Brother Heng glanced at Xu Qilang, sighed softly, and said to the clerk, "The quality of these inks is too bad, please bring better inks."

The buddy was embarrassed, so he hurried to do it.

After buying ink and going out, Brother Heng whispered to Xu Qilang, "Look at you talking so aggressively to a guy, are you polite or not?"

In front of Brother Heng, Xu Qilang always felt that he was the younger brother instead, and Brother Heng was the older brother, so he was a little unconvinced, but thinking of the cold war between Brother Heng and him before, he had no choice but to bear it, and said, "It was originally, he was in front of us. It’s too much to show off your knowledge, as if someone is a country bumpkin who doesn’t understand those things, and use secondary ink to fill up good ink.”

Brother Heng had no choice but to stop talking about him, and Xu Qilang asked him if he wanted to buy anything else, Brother Heng saw that the stewards and servants following behind were full of things, so he said, "No, let's go back. "

The sun is already scorching, Brother Heng doesn't like basking in the sun very much, he gets dizzy easily.

Just two steps away, I saw light shining from the antique shop in front, many people gathered around to watch, Xu Qilang is a lively person, so he wanted to go to see it too, Brother Heng hurriedly asked the boy to go over and take him out. Protect him, afraid that something will happen to him.

The steward who paid the bill all the way guarded Brother Heng, who was as fragile as thin porcelain, and asked the people who came out of the circle, "What are you looking at inside?"

The other party twisted his beard and said with a smile, "It's a floor-to-ceiling screen, embroidered with three-color gold and nine dragons going out to sea, it's beautiful and spectacular."

What he said made Brother Heng interested, but he was self-confident and didn't want to squeeze in. Fortunately, the manager was very caring, so he hugged Brother Heng. Brother Heng was awkward at first, but sitting in the manager's seat On his shoulders, the person was much taller, and he saw the screen at the door of the store. It was indeed a very beautiful three-color gold embroidery, shining brightly in the sun.

Brother Heng asked the steward to put him down, and some people discussed in a low voice, "It is said that it is a birthday gift for the chief assistant, Mr. Li. Going to the sea in Kowloon. Someone dares to give this kind of gift, but Mr. Li still doesn't know whether he dares to accept it or not." .”

Someone laughed and said, "Why don't you dare to accept it. Now the little emperor is not even ten years old, and it's not all up and down the court, Master Li has the final say."

The latter sentence was heard in a low voice, and many people heard it, but everyone just smiled and didn't care.

Although the Yong Dynasty required ordinary people not to talk about government affairs, the court was busy with party disputes. There was a ten-year-old child sitting on the throne. It can be seen from this that many outrageous things are said casually, and no one cares.

Xu Qilang got into the innermost part to look at the screen, then came out again, returned to Brother Heng, curled his lips, and said, "I thought it was something, it turned out to be just a screen, showing the luster of the sun in front of the buyer."

With a very disdainful tone, he grabbed Brother Heng's hand again, and said, "The sun is so hot, you can see that you are sweating, hurry up and get in the carriage, and go back."

Brother Heng let him pull him, and walked under the willow tree on one side. Their carriage had already arrived, and they were carried into the carriage by the steward. Brother Heng wiped his sweat with a towel, and handed it to Xu Qilang. Qilang said while wiping his sweat, "That screen is embroidered with three-color gold. It used to be said that only the royal family can use it. Now who cares, we have a lot of them in our family."

Brother Heng saw that he was nagging, so he said, "But is your embroidered dragon?"

Xu Qilang smiled and said, "Of course not. In fact, I looked carefully just now, and it was a three-clawed golden dragon, not a five-clawed one. Three-clawed can only be regarded as a python, and it's not considered a violation of the rules."

Brother Heng laughed, "You know a lot."

Xu Qilang stared at Brother Heng with burning eyes, "Of course. Now, you have something to admire me."

Brother Heng pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes."

When the two returned home, Mrs. Xu asked the steward to ask about it. Brother Heng went into his room, took a shower and changed his clothes before coming out. Mrs. Xu said, "Your aunt said to go to her place for dinner, we will go to her." Let's go."

Brother Heng couldn't bear to walk around, but he had no choice but to go with his mother. The eldest wife put the lunch in the main room where she lived, and Uncle Xu was also there.

Xu Qilang then told about the crowd watching the screen with three-color gold embroidery on the street. Uncle Xu said very calmly, "Although in our family, things like three-color gold embroidery are common, outside, it's really Not necessarily common."

The eldest wife also nodded, "That's right."

Xu's attention was unusual, and he said, "Who gave this kind of gift to Mr. Chief Assistant, didn't they intend to annoy the Tian Family?"

Uncle Xu said, "It's not that it's not sent out, but it's here to make everyone know, I'm afraid it's intentional. No matter who is going to send it, it's a deliberate dislike."

Brother Heng didn't say anything, just thinking about things silently. The family he lives in can be regarded as the most wealthy and noble family in the Yong Dynasty, and everything he eats, wears and uses is excellent, but he also knows that this country , There are still many people who can't eat.

Talking about state affairs was meaningless, and the maid next to the eldest wife asked if the food could be served, and the eldest wife said that the food was served, and everyone put away the topic.

In the evening, Uncle Xu stayed in the main room of the eldest wife, which was really rare. The eldest wife was still happy, so Uncle Xu told her, "Let Qilang go to Beijing with my sister, and Brother Heng as company."

The eldest wife was stunned on the spot, "Let Qilang go to Beijing with Mingxiao?"

Uncle Xu nodded, "That's right. Qilang went to school at home, where did he learn anything? He only obeyed Brother Heng's discipline. When he was with Brother Heng, he was the one who learned from him. Besides, he went to Beijing , how can my brother-in-law find a good wife, what does Brother Heng have, can Qilang still have it? Don't worry."

No matter how happy the eldest wife is, Qilang is her heart and soul, "Qilang can't learn well at home. If there is anything good in Beijing, let Qilang follow. He is in front of me, so I can feel at ease when I see him."

Uncle Xu has already made up his mind, "It's already been decided, you prepare Qilang's luggage carefully these days, and he will go with his sister when the time comes."

The eldest wife was about to make trouble again, but Xu Qilang who lived in Baoxia came to the main room for some reason, and greeted at the door, "Mother?"

The eldest lady got up from the Arhat couch when she heard his voice, "Qilang, what's the matter, come in."

Qilang only wore his middle clothes, ran to her with a smile, and buried himself in her arms, "Mother, can I go to Beijing with Brother Heng and the others?"

Seeing that he was so happy, the eldest lady put on a straight face and said, "How do you know?"

Xu Qilang glanced at her, then at Uncle Xu, and said with a smile, "Isn't it?"

Uncle Xu said, "That's what it means, but it's not for you to go to Beijing to play, but to go to Beijing to study hard. When you have finished your studies, you have to go back to your ancestral home to take the exam."

Xu Qilang didn't look at his mother's ugly face at all, he was already excited and said, "I haven't been to the capital yet, mother, I will go to the capital to see if there is anything interesting and delicious. Yes, I'll have someone bring it back to you."

The eldest wife couldn't laugh or cry, and sat down on the couch again, holding back her anger and looking at Uncle Xu, but Uncle Xu just said, "No matter what you think, Qilang will follow to the capital, there will be only advantages and no disadvantages. The eldest and fourth have already He is doing business outside, and he is the only man in the family, hanging out with a group of family members, I don't see how he can make any progress, let him go to Beijing, he can learn well on the contrary."

Xu Qilang nodded and said, "Father, mother, I will definitely study hard."

The eldest wife sighed, and rubbed her son in her arms again, "It is said that girls are not allowed to stay in college, and now the son can't help himself when he grows up."

Uncle Xu said, "A loving mother often loses her children."

Xu Qilang glanced at his father, then smiled and fell into the arms of the eldest wife, "Mother, I care about you the most in my life, and when I am promising, I will be filial to you."

Finally made the old lady laugh.
