Xianggui

Chapter 155 Quill

Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "No."

It's not modesty, she has never been exposed to Go in her previous and present lives.

Tao Weng disappointed, "It's boring, the little girl looks smart, but she can't even play Go, I will teach you another day." He looked at the food box in Ling'er's hand, "The little girl is giving the old man delicious food. coming?"

The old lady's voice came out, "He is really a greedy old man, and he is not afraid of the little girl's jokes."

Tao Weng laughed a few times.

Ding Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, my mother made emerald bean green and green steamed buns, which are rough things from the countryside. Let Tao Weng and the old lady taste some."

Several people entered the room, and the old lady also came out from the side room.

Maybe time is tight, and the furniture carving in the house is relatively simple.

Ling'er put three plates on the Eight Immortals table.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's so green, it really looks like emerald. And this kind of tofu?"

Tao Weng spat out four words, "The beauty is delicious."

Ding Xiang laughed, "It's made of mulberry leaf juice."

The girl ran to the front yard to bring chopsticks, and the old couple sat down and took a bite each.Once you taste it, you can't stop. The old lady likes to eat sweet, and Tao Weng likes to eat salty.

After the old lady took a few mouthfuls, the girl persuaded, "Old lady, don't eat too much, you will accumulate food."

Ding Xiang also said, "This food is cold in nature, so people with weak stomachs should not eat more."

The old lady put down her chopsticks and smiled at Ding Xiang, "The old lady is greedy, let the little girl see a joke. This thing is smooth and tender, with a fragrant fragrance and relieves greasy, really refreshing and appetizing." She persuaded Tao Weng again, "You are so old , Eat in moderation."

Tao Weng had already eaten half of the plate.After hearing this, he quickly picked up two pieces and put them in his mouth before putting down his chopsticks.

Ding Xiang was amused, Tao Weng must be a "strict wife".

She laughed, "Tao Weng and the old lady like to eat it, so I will tell the cook how to do it."

Just as he was talking, two women walked in with trays.

Aunt Lu is in her thirties, and Aunt Tao is in her twenties.

They are going to eat.

Ding Xiang got up to say goodbye.

Old Mrs. Tao took her hand and said, "It's rare to come here, so I'll have lunch here." Then she said to Ling'er, "Go back and tell her mother that the old man Liuxiang and I will have dinner at my house."

It's hard to turn down the hospitality, Ding Xiang nodded to Ling'er.

Ling'er walked out quickly.

Ruburt brought another big bowl and placed it at the door, it was Heiwa's lunch.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, braised pork in brown sauce, sweet and sour fish, braised double mushrooms, soy green vegetables, winter melon and golden hook soup.

Simple and nutritious.

The old lady picked some for Lilac in the bowl with serving chopsticks, "The baby is growing up, eat more."

Tao Weng looked at the black dog at the door and asked, "I heard that your family has a powerful leopard eagle, why didn't you bring it?"

Ding Xiang said, "The leopard eagle's name is Feifei. It has gone out to play and has not been home for half a month."

After dinner, the old lady wants to rest.

Tao Weng smiled at Ding Xiang, "I saw you glanced at the east chamber several times, do you want to go in and read?"

The old man's eyes were like torches.

Ding Xiang nodded sincerely, "Grandpa said how many rooms are there for your books."

Tao Weng took Ding Xiang by the hand and went to the East Chamber.

It is not accurate to say that there are several big houses.

The hall in the East Wing is very large, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and antique shelves on both sides. There are many books and brushes and inkstones on the shelves. The thickest book is thicker than two bricks.

The two went to the south room to look around. The bookcases occupied all three walls, and the books inside were also full.

Most of the books here are four books and five classics, poems and songs, story books, word stickers and so on.

I went to the north room again, and there were also bookcases occupying three walls, and most of the books inside were historical records and various reference books.

On the big desk by the window, there is a large sapphire pen container full of brushes, and there is actually a quill pen beside it.

The quill pen is inserted in the pen stand, and the handle of the pen is covered with a piece of red gold tube. The afternoon sun shines through the small window, making the gold pen tube sparkle.

A quill appeared here, it was a deluxe version, and Ding Xiang's eyes widened into two tubes.

Tao Weng thought that Ding Xiang didn't know what it was, and said with a smile, "This is a pen, made of goose feathers, dipped in ink, you can write. The characters you write are stingy, far less magnificent and elegant than brush characters. This is my pen. A student gave it to me, he likes to tinker with these foreign things."

A look of extreme disdain for the quill.

Ding Xiang laughed twice.Xindao, how do you know that hard pens are good.If you use this kind of hard pen to write small characters, the bookcases in your room will be reduced by more than half, which saves space and is environmentally friendly.

She suppressed the urge to reach for a pen, and looked at the paintings on the wall.

Among the several paintings, there are two landscape paintings with the seal of "Old Man in Dongshan".The picture scroll is ingeniously written in ink, bold and unrestrained, as if you are on the scene.

They all carry the word "Weng". I don't know if this "Dongshan old man" is the "Tao old man" in front of him.

Tao Weng thought that Ding Xiang would go to the South Room to look for books to read, but saw that she was reading books like Shi Zhi with a very focused expression.

Later, Ding Xiang pointed to the second floor of the bookcase to the north and said, "Tao Weng, I want to read "Three Kingdoms."

The ancient characters are large, and a set of "Three Kingdoms" has more than [-] volumes, occupying most of the second floor of the bookcase.

People in this era especially like and worship the characters of the Three Kingdoms era.Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan and others are the idols of men.

Not to mention that grandpa and dad like to talk about it, even the illiterate Xia Erbo can tell the names and jokes of several people in the Three Kingdoms.Almost all the bedtime stories that Ding Zhao told Ding Xiang came from the Three Kingdoms.

After inquiring about Ding Xiang, I know that there is only "Three Kingdoms" in this era, and there is no "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Shi Naian.Many small stories in the Three Kingdoms are folklore and evolved from "Three Kingdoms".

Ding Xiang has some ideas, and this set of books must be read through.It would be great to read it under Tao Weng's nose and let him explain it.

After getting acquainted with Tao Weng enough that I can take books by myself, I will look for books written by Xun Sihai...

Tao Weng was still very surprised that the little baby wanted to read "Three Kingdoms".

"Little girls read poetry, or read books about flowers and cursive. You won't be interested in those kinds of books."

He didn't suggest that Ding Xiang read the script.The story book tells more about love stories, and the little girl can't read it well.

Ding Xiang said, "My father often tells stories of the Three Kingdoms to my brother and me. I like to read them."

Tao Weng happily stepped on the ladder and took down the first volume of "Three Kingdoms".

"Just read it here, and the old man who doesn't understand will tell you."

If there is nothing to do, telling the little girl about the Three Kingdoms can also pass the time.

The old man is a good teacher, of course Ding Xiang is willing.

She sat on the porch and read "Three Kingdoms" aloud, but in a low voice so that it would not affect others.

Tao Weng started playing chess with himself again, and Hei Wa closed his eyes and dozed off.

Ling'er hurried over after eating at her own house, serving at the side.

Ding Xiang read slowly on purpose, and even found a few complicated words or asked Tao Weng for advice.
