Red makeup against the world

Chapter 494 Fang Shuyu

Seeing these children going towards Jixianfang, Miao Fu pulled back the veil of the veil on her head, turned around and entered Yanxinzhai.

The brush and ink shop is also very clean on weekdays, and it is even cleaner now.

There are landscape paintings on the four walls, and several of them are authentic works handed down from the previous dynasty.Brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones are displayed on each counter, all of which are excellent products, and the room exudes a faint fragrance of ink.There are two high-backed chicken wing wood chairs in the place to welcome guests, and a few bamboo branches are inserted in the blue and white porcelain vase on the high table on one side, which is elegant and tight.

There was only a shopkeeper in his forties guarding the shop, with a sad face.The rent on Yong'an Street is not cheap, and there is not even a single customer in the past few days, so it is a waste of money.

Seeing Miaofu coming in, she hurriedly greeted her: "Miss, do you want to choose some inkstones as gifts?"

The people of the Gaomang Dynasty were open, and there were quite a few women like Miaofu who bought alone, so the shopkeeper was not surprised.

Miao Fu nodded: "Cousin is about to reach the crown, I want to buy a set of four treasures of the study, is there any good one?"

Although she was wearing a veiled hat and her face could not be seen clearly, but the demeanor of her whole body, and the peony and gold thread faintly showing through the hem of the skirt, let the shopkeeper see her extraordinary at a glance.He greeted them eagerly and introduced them one by one.

Miao Fu looked at it briefly, but was not satisfied.

The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating. After a few days, a guest finally came, and he couldn't let it go for nothing.

"Girl, you can sit down in the private room at the back for a while. There are a few sets of treasures hidden in the next house, and I'll go and get them for you."

"How long will it take? If it's far away, forget it. I'll go to another shop to have a look."

"It's not far. I'm not bragging. I've been in the pen and ink business for more than [-] years. The girls here are not satisfied, and they must be the same elsewhere." The shopkeeper smiled all over his face: "It's a hot day. Go, why don't you sit down and rest your feet."

Miao Fu then let go.

The shopkeeper waited on her attentively, and led her through the middle hall to an elegant small courtyard.

"Lianlian! Don't write, help Dad go to the front and look at the shop, I have to go home."

I could only hear someone inside responding crisply "Hey!", and a girl in her teens came out from the west wing room, with delicate features.

"You made me laugh, this is the second girl of my family. These days, all the guys have gone home on leave. I can't help it. I have to call my daughter here for emergency. Lianlian, come and meet the distinguished guest."

Miao Fu smiled and said, "There is no need to be too polite."

The woman named Lianlian looked at her curiously, then went to the front to guard the shop.

The shopkeeper brought Miao Fu into the East Wing, served a cup of jasmine tea, then confessed, and hurried home to get those sets of treasures.

……

Master Fang, a Hanlin scholar, is Fang Shuyu.He was born as a Jinshi in the two rankings, and was the second place hand-picked by the first emperor.

The Fang family is a distinguished family of poetry, calligraphy and etiquette that has been passed down for hundreds of years in Weizhou, Hebei Province. Since the previous dynasty, many people have been officials, and the change of dynasties has not shaken the foundation of the Fang family.

Fang Shuyu is a member of the Fang family, and a leader of the younger generation of the Fang family. What lies ahead of him is a bright road.

After becoming the second place in the list, he was selected into the Hanlin Academy. From the editing of the seventh rank, he has now become a sixth rank bachelor.He has just led a few people to complete the compilation of a book, and after another two years at most, he will be able to enter Liubu Guanzheng.Minister, Minister, until he became a bachelor.

He is only in his early forties, and his political life is still very long.With more than ten years of profound Hanlin qualifications, an unquestionable background, and the Fang family as the backing, it is not impossible to become a prime minister.

In the past few days, due to the outbreak of the epidemic in the city, the emperor was generous and ordered all Hanlin who were not on duty in the Imperial Academy to go home to rest and take a bath.

He is a typical scholar who is used to getting up early. Reading has become a part of his life, as natural as breathing and drinking.Even Hugh Mu still consults classics and organizes notes in the study.

When he heard the concierge report that an eight or nine-year-old girl wanted to see her, he was surprised: "What do you want to see me for?"

The concierge shook his head: "She didn't say anything, she just said that you will go to see her when you hear the word 'plum blossom and silver hairpin'. She is waiting for the master at the gate."

"Plum Blossom Silver Hairpin." Hearing these four words, Fang Shuyu stood on the spot in a daze as if struck by lightning.

Those long past events rushed into his heart unexpectedly, like scrolls of scrolls, unfolding and surging in his mind.He has deliberately forgotten these many years, pretending that he has never met before, why did she bring it up again?
"Master, sir?"

Fang Shuyu came back to her senses, looked at the porter who was still waiting for his reply, and said, "I'll go right away. You should pretend you haven't heard about this matter, do you understand?"

He has always been as gentle as jade, but now he spoke harshly, the sharp light in his eyes made the porter flinch, and quickly replied: "Yes, master! I haven't seen anyone today, and I haven't invited the master."

After going out the gate and looking left and right, Fang Shuyu saw a few girls kicking the shuttlecock chatteringly.

He walked over and tried to make his expression look gentle: "You guys, who is looking for me?"

The girl in a blue shirt with a white background said: "My lord, a girl is looking for you. She is waiting for you in Yanxinzhai in front."

After finishing speaking, the girls ran away laughing and laughing.

Fang Shuyu only felt his heart astringent, what was he still looking forward to?With her current status, it is impossible to come to see her in person.

When he reached the gate of Yanxinzhai, he straightened his clothes and stepped inside.

The one guarding the shop was a ten-year-old girl.The girl was a little surprised to see him come in.There has been no business in the shop for several days, but today two customers came at once.

Just about to go up to meet her, Fang Shuyu coughed lightly, and said, "I'm here to find someone. My niece is here to buy pens and inks, and she asked me to check the quality."

Oh, so that's the case, just say how could it be such a coincidence.

Lian Lian felt relieved, and hurriedly led him to the backyard, pointed him to the east wing, and said, "The girl is drinking tea in there, you can go in." After speaking, she hurried out again. It's precious, and I can't afford to lose it.

Miao Fu saw Fang Shuyu coming in, and praised in her heart: "What a gentleman."

I saw him with handsome demeanor, bright eyebrows, tall and straight figure like bamboo, and temperament like willow in spring moon.Wearing a light blue square Confucian scarf on his head, and a dark blue bamboo patterned fine cloth straight skirt, this is the standard scholar's attire.Even after being an official for many years, he failed to wash away his deep-rooted elegance and demeanor.

Miao Fu stepped forward, bent down and saluted, "I have seen Master Fang".He took out the ancient plum blossom silver hairpin and presented it with both hands.

Fang Shuyu was shocked, it really was her!

Seeing this silver hairpin, he was in a trance for a while.I seem to see her bright smile and heroic demeanor, and I seem to smell the scent of wild flowers mixed with green grass on the hillside.
