Chapter 217 The Four Treasures of the Study
It is not accurate to say that it is hugging, because the mandarin duck actually came out with a plate, but there was a sandalwood box on it, and it walked towards it, as if it was hugging.

"Aren't you going to open it?"

When Yuanyang walked up to Jia Qing with the box, Jia's mother said.

So Jia Qing didn't hesitate any longer, and stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the wooden box, revealing the contents inside.

A medium-sized ceramic bowl stood still in it.It is as smooth as jade, and the whole body is silver-gray, which is not ordinary at first glance.

Jia's mother was afraid that Jia Qing would not know the goods, so she explained: "The name of this bowl is 'Zhuangyuan Jidi'. It has a very good meaning. It was presented by the people below when the Duke of Xianshi was here. .

I have been pressed in the box by me, and now, it happens to be cheap for you.I hope that you can really bring back a champion plaque for our Jia family next year, so that we can live up to the name of this bowl!
In addition to the good meaning, the material workmanship of this bowl is also excellent.Not only is the whole body smooth and delicate like jade, but it is also as firm as a rock, and its sound is like a bell. "

Jia Qing took out the bowl with his hands for everyone to watch.Turn it over again, and you can see the words "Zhuangyuan Jidi" engraved in italics on the bottom of the bowl.

"It sounds like a chime? Really?"

Mother Jia said angrily, "If you don't believe me, you can try knocking!"

Jia Qing immediately denied: "That's impossible! This treasure will be mine from now on, what if it breaks?
In the future, let alone knocking, even if I touch it, I won't let others touch it!
This is a real treasure given by the ancestors, I have to pass it on to my son..."

"Pfft..."

"Hehehe."

But Wang Xifeng, who had been left alone for a long time, was drinking tea there. Suddenly, when he heard this sentence, he was not cultivated enough, so he immediately squirted some tea out.

Fortunately, there was no one else in front of her at this time, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Mother Jia may have been tired from laughing before, but now she can't stop laughing, she just leaned on the soft couch, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at the crowd who were laughing at Jia Qing.

The ones who laughed were naturally Wang Xifeng, Aunt Xue and others.Apart from laughing, the sisters blushed a little. Gein Jiaqing was a bit shameless when he made a joke...

After a long time, Jia Mu made a concluding remark:

"Your skin is so thick that you can't help it!"

After Jia Mu, it is naturally Mrs. Wang, and she also prepared a small gadget, which is a small pure gold Maitreya Buddha.Jia Qing also accepted it with a smile, but it was more than a dozen taels of gold, no matter what.

Originally, Mrs. Xing also wanted to express it at this time.

But before she came here, she really didn't know about it and was not prepared.Secondly, she herself is not rich, almost all the treasures, money and things in Jia She's courtyard are in charge of Jia She, and she can't control half of it.

She really couldn't come up with anything good, so she had to pretend not to see it.

Naturally, Jia Qing would not ask her to ask for it, and heard Aunt Xue say: "The old lady and sister both gave it, so I have to express it..."

Jia's mother and others said that the visitor is a guest, so there is no reason for the guest to express.

The two parties were greeting each other when they suddenly saw a slightly frail maidservant with a graceful posture and timid face walking in from outside.Arrived next to Aunt Xue and said:
"Ma'am, I have brought what you asked for."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "We've already arrived, why don't you take a look first, if you don't like it, then it's fine."

Jia Qing hurriedly said: "What is Auntie talking about? Who doesn't know that the things in Auntie's house are all very good. Is there any reason to look down on them? Impossible!"

Aunt Xue smiled and asked someone to bring it in.

It was also when I arrived at Rongqing Hall that I found out that there was a happy event in Jia's mansion, and then ordered people to go back to get the gift.

The servant girl went out again, and not long after, she led two women in, and the two of them carried a box together.

Jia Qingyiqi is still a big guy!

"This is a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. My husband bought it for the palace when he was there. I only kept one set, but no one has ever used it. Let me give it to my brother."

Aunt Xue explained from the side, and asked to open the box to reveal the contents inside.

Jia Qing walked over, took a rough look, and knew the value of this set of four treasures of the study.

Needless to say, inkstones, pen holders, and paperweights are all made of high-quality jade.Even the ink is the best smoky ink stored in stone tools.

The most striking thing is that on the inner wall of the front of the outer box, there are three wolf hair brushes of different sizes placed horizontally.The barrels of the pens are all made of rosewood, and the crown and button are carved from moon-white ivory.

Especially the large wolf hair pen at the bottom, which is used to raise characters, its hair is as long as the hair of the wolf king's tail.

After Jia Qing finished watching, she raised her head and said to Aunt Xue: "Auntie made a move, it really is extraordinary!"

Aunt Xue saw that Jia Qing was a smart person, the smile on her face became brighter and warmer, and she said with a smile: "It's just as long as I like it!"

Jia Qing said: "Even if such treasures are given to the princes of the court, there is absolutely no reason not to love them. How can this kid not know?"

Up above, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, who didn't know the value of the gift Aunt Xue gave, understood now.

Jia's mother said: "He is a child's family. My aunt insists on giving it away. Just give it away. How can I give such a precious one?

Even if his concubine loves her and rewards her generously, he dare not accept it. "

Jia Qing said in her heart: Who said I dare not accept it?

Aunt Xue said: "The old lady is heretic, no matter what, it's just a few things.

The ancients said that "a good general assists the Ming Lord, and a BMW matches a hero." 'These few things, no matter good or bad, are things used by their scholars. If they fall into the hands of people like us, isn't it a waste?
It's better to give him to my brother, maybe they can make the best use of everything, and it's not in vain for them to come to this world. "

As Aunt Xue said, she laughed.

Everyone secretly praised Aunt Xue's beautiful words in their hearts.Then I heard Jia's mother say, "Why don't my aunt give it to Brother Pan?"

Aunt Xue said: "Don't talk about it, old lady, it's embarrassing to say.

He is not a person who can read and write, and giving him a good thing is also a waste.So, I have been keeping it all these years, and now that I have met my brother, I have found a good place for him! "

In this way, Mother Jia stopped talking and looked at Jia Qing.

From the beginning to the end, Jia Qing silently watched them being courteous here and there.Seeing that it was finally his turn to make a statement, a smiling face appeared immediately, and he said loudly:
"My aunt's family just came to Beijing, the boy didn't say to be filial and treat him a little bit, but now he went to the aunt's house first to find a treasure, which really made the boy feel ashamed.

However, seeing such a good thing in front of my eyes, the kid really can't say the word "don't", that's gouging out my flesh!
Therefore, the boy has to accept it first, and the sisters don't care if they laugh at me. "

For Aunt Xue's kind gift, Jia Qing didn't think there was anything unacceptable.Although he has poor sense of Xue Pan, he has no prejudice against Xue Baochai's mother and daughter.

Seeing Jia Qing looking over, Daiyu and others who had been watching for a long time immediately withdrew their envious eyes.Hmph, the second brother had a great harvest this time.

"Brother, don't say that, it looks like you treat your aunt as an outsider, right?

No hospitality or no hospitality, Auntie only hopes that when you are free, you can sit with me more and get close.

If you can let your Brother Pan follow you to learn some ideas about economics, don't be like a horse without a bridle all day long, Auntie will be satisfied. "

Aunt Xue said.

Sure enough, it was exactly as Jia Qing expected.Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang have almost the same idea, they both want their children to learn from Jia Qing.

Pity the parents of the world.

In his previous life, whenever his parents used the children from the next door to teach him a lesson, he was quite impatient.In fact, when you think about it, the parent's idea is also very simple. They just want their children to be better, so that they may have a better life in the future.

Hehe, Jia Qing thought again, thinking about this matter with his image as a role model young man, does it feel a bit uncomfortable to stand up and talk?
Gathering his mind, Jia Qing said: "I must, in the future I will often go to my aunt's house for dinner, and please ask my aunt not to be disgusted..."
