Chapter 644

Caixia sneered in her heart when she heard the words, was she mocking her previous bad temper and difficult to get along with?This eldest grandma, relying on her daughter to become the eldest concubine soon, doesn't care about anyone except the wife.

But right now, she doesn't have the capital to fight against grandma, so she has to bear it all.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face, Caixia is always smiling, trying her best to make herself smile naturally and kindly.

"I made my sister-in-law laugh." She took the tea from the girl's hand and put it in front of Mrs. Liao. "When I was at my mother's house, my mother always said that I was irritable and unpleasant. My mother was afraid that I would marry someone in the future, which would make people My mother-in-law and seniors hate it, and let my sister-in-law run on me. I didn't expect that my wife and sister-in-law are excellent people, and they care and considerate me. This is my blessing."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liao couldn't help but look at her more, and felt that she seemed to be a different person.

The girl and mother-in-law put the food on the table, and the grandma hurried over to wash her hands.Caixia followed suit and waited behind Mrs. Liao.

When Liao Feida came in, he saw her serving vegetables respectfully and obediently to his mother, and raised his eyes to see him smiling slightly.

His eyes flashed, and the legs that stepped in froze for a moment.For the past few days, he has been resting in the small study, and Hai Ling is waiting on him.He went to visit Caixia twice, but was irritated by her indifferent tone, so he simply didn't go.I didn't expect to see her in mother's room early this morning, and saw her serving mother for dinner.

Although the days of their marriage are still short, he feels that Caixia is a very proud person, and her current behavior is beyond his expectation.

Her just smile also made Liao Feida dazed for a moment, but she didn't know that this smile was the result of how many times Caixia practiced in front of the mirror.There is a gentleness in the politeness, not too kind and not too alienated, and the relaxation is natural and generous.

When Mrs. Liao saw him coming in, she smiled and asked him to sit down and have breakfast.The girl bought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and Caixia went over to serve them.

She looked at the dishes on the table, and picked up a chopstick of tender lettuce.The third wife did a thorough investigation of Liao Feida's living habits and preferences, even what kind of food and soup he liked.

Seeing him eating to his heart's content, Caixia knew that the third wife's information was accurate.

After a meal, the atmosphere was warm, and Liao Feida had a job in the government office but went there every day.As soon as he left, Mrs. Liao ordered the two daughters-in-law to go down for dinner.

Only then did Caixia resign, the first battle went smoothly, at least her mother-in-law was willing to maintain the superficial harmony.Seeing Liao Feida's attitude towards her and the look in her eyes just now made Caixia more confident.

This Liao Feida was compiled from the Sixth Rank Imperial Academy, dealing with a group of old scholars and books all day long, so his temper was naturally much duller.His hobbies are also biased towards the elderly, raising a fool, playing with inkstones, and studying ancient books.He especially has a preference for inkstones, and has collected all kinds of inkstones, some expensive and some cheap.

On weekdays, he never allowed anyone to approach the shelf holding the inkstone, and even wiped it himself.Sometimes he would spend half a day playing with those inkstones one by one, holding them and not allowing anyone to come in and disturb them.

Everyone knows his temper, so no one dares to touch his restricted area.

There are many people with real talents and practical learning in the Hanlin Academy. Although he spends money to earn a vain job, he is humble and honest, and his taste on the inkstone is unmatched, but no one looks down on him.Occasionally, whoever gets a good inkstone will let him take a look at it.

Today, as soon as he arrived at the government office, a colleague came over with an inkstone.When he took a look, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took it carefully and played with it carefully.

After a long while, he put down in disappointment and shook his head.At first glance, this square inkstone looks like Yishui inkstone, but when you play with it carefully, it completely loses its flavor.He has collected inkstones for many years, and has never seen a real Yishui inkstone, but this one is imitated realistically.It's just that no matter how true it is, it's a fake, and it makes people feel more panicked after seeing it.

"Although it is a fake, it is a rare high-quality imitation. If you study inkstones, you should know how rare Yishui inkstones are." The colleague hugged like a baby, "I spent a lot of money to get it, so be careful not to buy it." Broke it for me."

Liao Feida was in a terrible mood, the biggest regret in his heart was that he had never seen the real Yi Shuiyan.Being made such a fuss, he had no intention of taking him with him in the mansion, and returned to the mansion depressed.

When he walked to the door of the study, he thought that there was a room full of inkstones but he didn't have what he wanted most, so he was so blocked that he didn't even want to enter the door.He thought of seeing Caixia at his mother's side in the morning, he hesitated and turned to the upper room.

As soon as he walked outside, he heard a girl and Caixia talking inside.

"It's just an inkstone, what is grandma anxious to do?" The girl asked in a puzzled voice, "This inkstone should be on the dowry list, maybe the person who wrote it was negligent and forgot to write it. If grandma hadn't asked the servant to find something, it really is Can't find it."

"What do you know, this inkstone is the most precious thing in the dowry."

As soon as Liao Feida heard the word "inkstone", he immediately walked in.He caught sight of the inkstone in Caixia's hand at a glance, rushed over to take it in a few steps, and even ignored the girl who greeted him.

The more he looked at it, the happier he felt. He hastily put the inkstone on the bed carefully, and bent his whole body down, almost lying on the inkstone.

"Yi Shuiyan, Yi Shuiyan!" He shouted excitedly, with tears flickering in the corners of his eyes.He seemed to be looking at the treasure on the tip of his heart, repeatedly stroked it with his hands, tapped it very carefully, and put his ear on the inkstone to listen to the sound.

He keeps looking, touching, tapping, and even sniffing.He didn't know how long it took before he realized that there were other people in the room, and this inkstone was not his.

"Is this the lady's dowry?" He said this towards Caixia, but his eyes did not leave the inkstone.

"Yeah." Caixia replied, "I was interested in these things when I was in my mother's house. When I got married, my aunt found a Yishui inkstone box."

"Oh? So you like inkstones too." He turned his head after hearing this, "Do you know the origin of this Yishui inkstone?"

Caixia smiled and said: "The concubine knows a thing or two, but I just heard that my husband is an expert in this field, so I dare not use big swords in front of Guan Gong."

"But it's okay, I have no one in the mansion to talk to, it's best that you understand these things." He encouraged with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Caixia said, "The inkstone is known as 'Southern End and Northern Yi', and is the originator of inkstone making. The master of Yishui Inkstone making inkstone was named Xi Ding, who died in Yizhou because of the war. Xi Tinggui fled to She County in the south and picked the local Longwei Mountain stone to make the inkstone, which is the She inkstone that has been handed down. So many people are used to referring to the She inkstone as the Yishui inkstone, but they don’t know that the two are not the same.”
