stern wife

Chapter 268

Pei Xiaoran didn't stay any longer, and asked someone to pack up the leftovers, and then took them away.

On the other side, Pei Yuxuan who was attending the calligraphy and painting fair.

The Calligraphy and Painting Club is a gathering spontaneously initiated by literati. The literati use calligraphy to express their feelings and ambitions, but they feel a little less interesting in self-admiration, so they often initiate such gatherings and invite people to appreciate their masterpieces. Appreciate the masterpieces of others.

If you meet someone who is close to your eyes, you might be able to form a good friend with the other party, and all the people attending the party are literati, so it is easy to find like-minded friends, have a chat, and come and go often in the future, which is also a good thing.

What's more, this is Zhijing, where talented people are everywhere, and there are many people who come to participate in the painting and calligraphy fair, which is very lively at first glance.

However, although literati are proud, there are always some people who cling to the powerful. Therefore, those great talents from famous families are surrounded by people who flatter and applaud without exception.

Although Pei Yuxuan was born in the Duke's Mansion, his own father never took him with him when he went out. Besides, he never went outside the door all day long, and no one knew who he was, so the surroundings were very quiet.

Zhao Jingyang was born in a scholarly family, and loves to make friends, and the surroundings are very lively. After finally getting away from a group of friends, when he came to Pei Yuxuan's side, he saw that the other party had already finished a painting.

Zhao Jingyang took a closer look, and saw that the painting on it was red lotus, white goose, and green lotus. It was the scene in the lotus pond in the center of the garden.

Although Pei Yuxuan is quiet and gentle, he uses bold colors. The green and green are like splashed ink, almost covering the entire drawing paper. The red lotus and red are dazzling, and the white goose is white and fat. His eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing.

Although it is just a random drawing, it is very careful, even the fine lines on the lotus leaf are outlined, the lines are smooth, and it is done in one go.

Zhao Jingyang liked it very much, and his friends also surrounded him, and when they looked at it, they also admired it.

Someone looked at Pei Yuxuan's face and asked Zhao Jingyang:

"Brother Jingyang, I wonder if this son is...?"

Zhao Jingyang introduced with a smile:
"This is the third son of Duke Wei."

"Duke Wei?!"

Everyone was amazed, and thought that it's no wonder that this person looks so noble, so he has such a big background!

But isn't Wei Guogong a martial artist?How did you teach your son to be so... talented?
Looking at the four-wheeled vehicle Pei Yuxuan was sitting on, it became clear again, probably because the son was in poor health, so he had to abandon martial arts and follow literature...

Zhao Jingyang didn't care what his friends were thinking about, he just focused on the painting and said as naturally as possible:

"Cough, that... Brother Yuxuan, this painting is really good, I really like it, I don't know... I don't know how much money, Brother Yuxuan will reluctantly part with it and sell it to me? "

Pei Yuxuan, who was changing a brush and was about to inscribe the words 'to Xiaoran' on the painting, paused and looked up at him.

Generally speaking, when encountering someone else's work that you like, you can tactfully express your liking for this work to others.

If the other party is willing to give it to me, then everyone will be happy. If the other party doesn't want to give it to me, then it doesn't hurt. Anyway, I didn't say it clearly.

Since this is a painting and calligraphy meeting, it is an exchange and discussion between literati, so it is absolutely not possible to raise money and engage in business, otherwise it will become a vegetable market?
Literati have always felt that ink smells like copper, and anyone who dares to mention such vulgar things here will definitely be looked down upon by everyone.

Therefore, there are really... very few people like Zhao Jingyang who negotiate the price as soon as they open their mouths.

Unless you like it to the point where you can't do it, otherwise, it's really rude to say that.

Although Zhao Jingyang was carefree and forthright on weekdays, he was very measured and never rude to anyone, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many friends.

So upon hearing this, before Pei Yuxuan said anything, Zhao Jingyang's friends all looked at Zhao Jingyang in disbelief.

Zhao Jingyang thought he was thick-skinned, but it was still a little embarrassing to say such a thing in front of so many people, so he couldn't help but sighed helplessly in his heart.

If it wasn't for his sister who insisted on bringing back a pair of Pei Yuxuan's calligraphy and paintings, would he say such things in such a place?

But if you ask for it directly, it will be even more stinky and shameless, so it is safer to buy it.

Pei Yuxuan didn't care much, raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and said:
"Brother Jingyang, if you like it, just take it. What money are you talking about between us? Don't hide it from Brother Jingyang, I originally painted it for my sister, but my sister can give it to me at any time, but Brother Jingyang is rare. So, take this painting.”

"Really?"

Zhao Jingyang raised his eyebrows with joy, and said a little embarrassedly:

"This, this snatched the painting you gave to my sister, I really feel sorry..."

Pei Yuxuan smiled understandingly and said:
"Brother Quan Dang Jingyang invited me to drink in return, take it."

Only then did Zhao Jingyang take the drawing paper that Pei Yuxuan handed over happily, thinking that he could finally explain to his sister when he went back.

It is said that since returning home from the Lantern Festival, his younger sister has suffered from lovesickness. She does not think about tea or food. After many times of questioning by him, she finally revealed the person she kept in her heart. .

In fact, Zhao Jingyang already had a premonition, because before the Lantern Festival, his sister was still fine, and the person who could make her suffer from lovesickness must be someone she met at the Lantern Festival.

So Zhao Jingyang was not surprised at all when his sister said that the man was the third son Pei from Duke Wei's mansion.

Because he also thinks that Pei Yuxuan is a good person, otherwise, he would not have thought of making friends with him.

It's just... as a brother, you always have to think more about your sister.

Although Pei Yuxuan is a nice person, his body doesn't seem to be very convenient.

If his sister wants to marry this man, won't she have to take care of him?
When other girls marry, they are taken care of and doted on by their husbands. He doesn't want his younger sister to suffer and be wronged after marrying, so he has been trying his best to persuade his younger sister to give up.

It's just that the little girl became determined after eating the weight, and she would not marry unless she was a gentleman, and even threatened to take care of her for the rest of her life.

It's just... stupid.

However, if he is in poor health, Pei Yuxuan is at least the legitimate young master of the Duke's Mansion, and there are many girls who want to marry him.

So Zhao Jingyang continued to try to persuade his sister to find another husband, but at the same time worked hard to build a good relationship with Pei Yuxuan so that he would not be snatched away by other women.

Alas...it really broke my heart.

Although he was despised by his friends, Zhao Jingyang was in a good mood. Seeing his future brother-in-law, Wangyou, he walked around the garden with him and saw many excellent works. After the calligraphy and painting meeting, he wanted to send Pei Yuxuan back in person.

Pei Yuxuan came out with his servants, and upon hearing this, he politely refused.

Zhao Jingyang didn't force it either, and after making an appointment with him for the next meeting, he left with his friends.
