Your husband is too motivated

Chapter 18

Han Tao was not angry about Han Jing's trickery, but instead asked people to put away the calligraphy and painting and said, "It just so happens that I'm a little hungry, let's try the sweet soup."

"Okay." Han Jing smiled and picked up a bowl and took a sip. It was sweet but not greasy and refreshing, "It's delicious."

Han Tao drank most of the bowl and put it down, and Han Jing only drank half of the bowl and didn't move any more. Looking at Han Tao's eyes, he explained, "I think it's not good to eat sweets now."

"Yes." Han Tao also remembered what Han Jing said just now.

The servant quickly delivered the box Han Jing wanted, and Han Jing didn't rush to open it after receiving it, but asked, "Father, guess what's inside?"

"Could it be Haomo?" Han Tao was in a good mood at the moment, and he didn't mind talking with his son for a while.

Han Jing held his head in both hands and gave it to Han Tao, looking at him expectantly, "Mr. gave it to his son when he was taking homework exams in school at the end of last month. Originally, the son wanted to give it to his father on his birthday."

"School exam homework?" Han Tao actually didn't pay attention to this ink, he just thought it was an ordinary good ink.

Han Jing responded, "Sir, there is a quiz every month and a major exam every three months. Father, do you like it?"

Han Tao laughed, thinking that no matter what kind of ink it was, he had to express his joy to make his son happy, so he opened the brocade box, and there was an ink ingot inside, and there seemed to be broken lines on it, Han Tao casually took the ink ingot inside He took it out and put the brocade box aside, who knew that his eyes widened when he saw it, "This is not a broken pattern!" The broken pattern on the ink ingot he thought was a natural pattern, it should be formed by the ink ingot Sometimes there is, "This is..."

Seeing that Han Tao likes it, Han Jing was about to speak but was stopped by Han Tao, "Let me see for myself." After speaking, he looked at it carefully, and after a long time put it back in the brocade box carefully, with obvious joy on his face. He turned to Han Jing and said, "Since it was given to you by Mr. Wenzhu, you can keep it." Even so, he was obviously a bit reluctant.

On the contrary, Han Jingman said happily, "It's good that my father likes it. I know that my father likes these. My husband has a lot of collections. I can't tell you what you want. It just so happens that my husband has a habit of rewarding him every time he is satisfied with the exam. , It’s just that the previous two rewards were all other, and it happened that there was a piece of ink in the reward this time, so I asked Changyu to exchange it.”

Changyu is exactly the name of Mr. Wen Yide, the grandson of Mr. Wen. Because they are similar in age, they both studied together. "What did you use for it?"

A bit of reluctance appeared on Han Jing's face, and Han Tao said, "Since Mr. Wen gave this ink to his grandson, it's not bad to give it to you."

"It's "Picture of Donkeys." Han Jing said in a low voice.

When Han Tao heard that it was calligraphy and painting, he first responded, ""The Picture of Donkeys"...Wait, is it Wu Daozi's?"

Han Jing nodded. Han Tao didn’t believe that Mr. Wenzhu’s collection was fake. At this time, his mood was very complicated. If he really wanted to describe Han Jing, he would be a prodigal, but it was Wu Daozi’s authentic work. If the ink in his hand is worth thousands of gold, That painting was a priceless treasure, but thinking that Han Jing was doing it for him, Han Tao couldn't blame him, so he just said, "Actually, I also like calligraphy and painting."

"Ah." Han Jing felt a little regretful, "I remember my father said last year that it would be great if he could get a piece of Li Mo."

The ink ingot that Han Jing gave Han Tao was Li Mo. Li Mofeng's skin is greasy and glossy like lacquer. It is a pleasure to look at, not to mention that it is light, smells sweet, and clear after grinding. It is also wear-resistant and durable. , It can even be used to cut paper, which shows its beauty. There is a saying that "gold is easy to get, but Li Mo is hard to find".

Wu Daozi's original work and Li Mo really let Han Tao choose, and he didn't know which one to choose for a while.

Han Tao looked at Li Mo, only feeling that his son was interested, and said, "I like it very much."

"Father likes it." Han Jing laughed, dimples appeared on his face because of his fat, which made Han Tao feel that he had neglected his son too much before, "I will borrow that painting for my father in a few days." Enjoy it."

Only then did Han Tao feel at ease, and Han Jing suddenly said, "I remember my mother mentioned when I was a child that there are some good calligraphy and paintings in her dowry."

"It seems to be the case." Han Tao thought for a while and said.

Han Jing smiled and said, "Let's go and find my father together. Let's show it to my father first. Then I will exchange it with Changyu for "The Picture of Donkeys."

Han Tao laughed and said, "Okay."

Han Jing directly sent someone to find Zhao's mother to get the dowry list, "Let's choose it first, and then just go in and look for it, so as not to waste time in a mess."

"That's the reason." Han Tao smiled. He was not in a hurry at all. He was holding Li Mo to watch it, but he was a bit reluctant to use it.

Mother Zhao quickly brought over the dowry list of Han Jingsheng's mother, and Han Jing immediately flipped through it, "Hey, father, look at the mother's dowry list, and there is also Mo and Lao Xuan."

"Huh, that's not bad." Han Tao sighed in his heart. The Xi family is worthy of being a scholarly family. It looks quiet, but it has a lot of background, and it also interested in it, so it looked together with Han Jing, because these are all It's Xi's dowry, and Han Tao is not the kind of lowly person who needs to covet his wife's dowry. After discussing with Xi's family after Xi's death, he has people seal it up and prepare to hand it over to Han Jing when he becomes an adult. He, so Han Tao is also the first time to know what Xi's dowry has so intuitively.

Those silks and satins, the two of them casually looked at them and flipped through them. They mainly looked at calligraphy and painting books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Han Jing smiled and said, "It just so happens that my husband's birthday is next month, so I think the picture of a cat and a butterfly is just right."

The cat and butterfly picture is also called the old man's picture, eighty is the old man, and ninety is the old man. The cat and butterfly picture also has the meaning of longevity, so it is the most suitable gift for Mr. Wenzhu on his birthday.

Han Tao nodded and said, "I still have a black inkstone inkstone, the carving is really good, and I will give it to Mr. Asparagus as a birthday present."

"Okay." Han Jing responded without any excuses.

Han Tao also knew Mr. Wenzhu's reputation, and was satisfied with Han Jing being able to worship Mr. Wenzhu with his own ability, "You can go outside to choose a few more, and just go to the public account."

Han Jing responded with a smile, and the two of them went to the warehouse after chatting and laughing. The woman who was in charge of the warehouse saw that Han Tao and Han Jing's expressions changed, and said, "Greetings to the prince and prince."

"Open the door." Han Tao was listening to Han Jing talking about the calligraphy and painting at Mr. Wenzhu's home, and ordered without noticing the expression on his mother-in-law's face.

Zhao's mother stared at the woman. Although she didn't speak, her expression was extremely complicated. Han Jingfang said casually, "Why don't you open the door? Could it be that the key is not with you?"

"That's right, the old slave doesn't have the key, it's... the concubine keeps it." The woman hurriedly said.

"Then hurry up and get the key." Han Tao said with a frown.

The mother-in-law quickly asked the little maid to tell Yu Shi, and suddenly Mother Zhao pointed to the old woman's wrist and said, "This Ruyi pattern bracelet is the dowry of the princess."

"What?" Han Tao heard the words and looked over, and saw that the woman was wearing a two-finger-wide gold bracelet on her wrist, with exquisite ruyi patterns on it. At a glance, she knew that it was not something that a servant could get, and then looked at that The mother-in-law hurriedly covered the bracelet with a guilty look, Han Tao's expression changed and he said, "Take it off."

"Yes." Immediately, a servant stepped forward to snatch the bracelet off the woman's wrist, kicked the woman, and gave the bracelet to Han Tao with both hands.

Han Tao took it over and looked at Wen Dao, "Are you sure it belongs to the Xi family?"

Mother Zhao said affirmatively, "I am sure, the old slave took care of the princess's dowry back then. There is a peach blossom mark on the inside of this bracelet, which was specially ordered by the old lady for the princess."

Han Tao looked inside and found the mark, his expression changed drastically, and he scolded angrily, "How dare you!"

Han Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, forget it. I think this woman is so greedy for money that she directly asks people to search her house to see if there are other things hidden. Don't pursue it any further."

Han Tao didn't think of anything at first, but after hearing what Han Jing said, he suddenly realized that this woman belonged to Yu Shi. After Yu Shi married, he handed over all these matters to Yu Shi, and his expression changed. Changed, he kicked the servant next to him, "Hurry up and search! Not only this woman, but all the servants here."

"Yes." The boy hurriedly went to the steward to handle the matter, scolded these ignorant old women in his heart, causing him to be kicked.

Han Jing said with a bitter smile, "Father, find someone else to find the key of the princess."

At this moment, Han Tao felt his face darkened and said, "No, break it open for me."

"Father, forget it." Han Jing said, "If you want to come, the princess will not know."

Hearing this, Han Tao's face softened a little, and he said, "I'm very comforted that you think so. Go in and check the fake list. If there is anything missing, I will make it up for you."

Han Jing responded, and Han Tao said in a deep voice, "Smash it open."

"Yes."

As soon as Han Tao finished speaking, someone broke the lock, and naturally someone also went to inform Yu Shi.

Soon the lock was broken, Han Tao walked in with Han Jing, and Zhao's mother followed behind silently with the dowry slip, but found that Yong'an County King stood still not long after entering, and Han Jing's chubby face was full of sadness and pain. You don't need to compare the dowry list, you can see that there is a lot less movement in it, and the people who take these things are unscrupulous.

Han Tao is not only angry this time, "Check! Check it out for me."

Han Jing walked aside and opened a brocade box, and saw that it was empty, even the jewelry box was empty. Han Tao would open the box from time to time, and when he opened the box, he saw a dead mouse inside .

When Mrs. Yu rushed over after hearing the maid's report, she saw Han Tao standing at the door with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Ms. Yu! Hello! You are so kind!"
