Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 135 Duplicity
Zuixianlou is one of the most famous restaurants in Shangjing City. Many dignitaries like to come here for a meal on weekdays.
Song Wanyin and Su Shian were dining in an elegant Shuiyun Pavilion. The table was filled with fine wine and delicious food. The dishes here were very famous.
However, the two of them had other intentions in this trip, each with their own thoughts, and just wanted to find a place where they would not be disturbed.
Tiancheng was serving on the side, picking up food and pouring wine for her master, taking care of her in every possible way.
Mi Tao stood behind Su Shian, always paying attention to his every move. If he showed any ill intentions, she would immediately take him down.
Su Shian's excitement was beyond words. He raised his cup and said:
"I would like to offer a toast to the county lady first. Thank you for your presence. I am truly honored."
Song Wanyin picked up the wine cup and said with a slight smile:
"Master Su, I can't hold my liquor, so I can only drink a little. Thank you for your hospitality."
Su Shian's face was almost broken by laughter. He immediately raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, smacking his lips and saying:
“Good wine, worthy of being an aged wine, it does smell rich and mellow.
With such a beautiful scenery and a beautiful woman by my side, I have no regrets in my life."
Tiancheng couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. All men in the world are the same. When they see a beautiful woman, their true natures are revealed.
"Mr. Su, please be careful with your words.
My daughter is willing to come here to help you identify famous calligraphy and paintings, so don't think too much about it."
Su Shian was startled, realizing that he had lost his composure, and immediately stood up and bowed, saying:
"Please don't be offended, County Lady. I don't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts.
The famous calligraphy and paintings are now presented to you. Please move to another table."
Soon, Su Shian displayed several paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, each of which was quite stunning and gave people a bright feeling.
Song Wanyin admired it carefully and couldn't help but exclaimed:
“This landscape painting is really wonderful, worthy of being the work of a famous artist.
Whether it is the brushstrokes or the colors, the most important thing is the charm of the mountains and rivers, which are truly endowed with soul and give people an immersive sense of atmosphere.
Even the branches and leaves of each tree are depicted very clearly, showing the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers vividly. "
Su Shian listened to her insights and opinions on calligraphy and painting, nodded frequently, and agreed:
“What the county lady said is absolutely right. This landscape painting is indeed a painting that incorporates poetry, setting a precedent for literati and poets.
It is not only a depiction of the natural world, but also an expression of the true feelings of the master, which makes future generations learn and admire it. "
Seeing that he really understood calligraphy and painting, Song Wanyin's eyes were filled with praise:
"Mr. Su is indeed knowledgeable and talented. I admire him from the bottom of my heart."
Su Shian said modestly:
“You are too kind, County Lady. I only know a little bit about it, and I am still far behind your level.
According to what the county lady said, these should all be authentic works of famous artists?"
Song Wanyin carefully examined another painting, wanting to further confirm whether it was an authentic one.
"Mr. Su, I need to identify it more carefully and I will give you an answer."
Little did they know that in the Qingshan Pavilion next door, Xiao Jingheng's face became increasingly gloomy as he listened to them admiring and praising each other.
The table full of delicious food and wine in front of me tasted like wax and did not arouse my interest at all.
Jing Mo and Huai Xi saw that their master looked troubled, so they winked at each other and played rock-paper-scissors behind his back to decide who would speak first.
Huai Xi won two out of three games. Jing Mo clapped his hands in annoyance and asked courageously:
"Sir, it seems that the county lady's voice is coming from next door. It also sounds like there is another man there. The two of them are talking and laughing, and they seem to be having a good time.
Since we are all here, would you like to go and say hello to the county lady?"
Xiao Jingheng held the wine cup tightly, but hesitated to put it into his mouth, and said calmly:
"I just suddenly wanted to come to Zuixianlou to try the food and drink. I didn't come here to follow Junior Sister.
She and Gu Qingchen had already divorced, so she can see whoever she wants. It's her freedom."
Jing Mo and Huai Xi carefully discovered that when their master said this, the hand that was tightly holding the wine cup was shaking slightly, as if it would crush the cup at any time.
The adult, who is usually as steady as a mountain, becomes particularly uneasy every time he encounters something related to the county lord.
In order to calm his excitement, Xiao Jingheng brought the wine cup to his mouth with trembling hands, but accidentally spilled the wine on his brocade robe and knocked over the wine cup, sending fragments flying everywhere.
The more I try to stay calm, the more anxious and restless I become.
They have been alone in a room for such a long time, why haven't they come out yet?
Jing Mo and Huai Xi looked at him in surprise and discovered that their master was grabbing a handful of unshelled peanuts and stuffing them into his mouth, dropping them as he ate.
The two looked at each other helplessly, thinking that the master must have been sitting in the pavilion, but his soul had already flown to the next room.
In Shuiyun Pavilion, after Song Wanyin had appraised these famous calligraphy and paintings, he could not help but sigh:
“Today, I have the honor to appreciate famous calligraphy and paintings with Mr. Su, and to chat with each other about our views and feelings, as well as the analysis of the profound meaning of the works. I have benefited a lot.
I never thought that Mr. Su could find so many authentic paintings and calligraphy by famous artists. I really admire him."
Su Shian immediately offered his courtesy:
“You are too polite, my lady. I am honored to have the opportunity to learn some insights and feelings about calligraphy and painting from you.
In order to fulfill my promise, I will give these authentic paintings and calligraphy to the county lady. Please accept them."
Although Song Wanyin was moved, she also knew that these famous calligraphy and paintings were not easy to come by, so she said tactfully:
"Mr. Su, this is probably inappropriate, right?"
Su Shian carefully collected these famous calligraphy and paintings, presented them with both hands and said:
"County Lady, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond, so just accept it.
These famous calligraphy and paintings deserve to be with a knowledgeable owner so that they can realize their greatest value.
Perhaps, this was also what the famous artists expected back then?"
Xiao Jingheng heard that they were still arguing next door for a long time, and finally couldn't sit still anymore, so he called Huai Xi to tell him:
"Go and think of a way to get rid of that person who's in the way. I have something urgent to discuss with Junior Sister alone."
Huai Xi looked at him in confusion. If there was something urgent, he should have sent the man beside the county lord away long ago, instead of sitting here waiting for almost an hour.
"The slave obeys."
In Shuiyun Pavilion, Song Wanyin was thanking Su Shian, while Tiancheng and Mitao were carefully wrapping these precious calligraphy and paintings, when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Su Shian thought it was the waiter who came, so he immediately went to open the door, intending to send him away so that he could stay with Song Wanyin for a while longer.
As soon as he stuck his head out, a big hand quickly covered his mouth and he disappeared on the spot in an instant.
Song Wanyin saw him go to open the door, but there was no sound for a long time, so she wanted to go out to find out what was going on.
Unexpectedly, there was a figure as tall as a pine tree or a snowy mountain standing outside the door, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Song Wanyin called out in surprise:
"Brother? It's so late, have you not gone home yet, or have you just come out?"
Xiao Jingheng's inky black eyes were as dazzling as the vast stars, and he said softly:
"I, I was just doing some work outside, and suddenly I felt a little hungry again."
Song Wanyin suddenly realized:
"Since you are hungry, I will treat you to a meal. Thank you for taking care of me all the time."
Seeing her turn around and about to call the waiter, Xiao Jingheng immediately grabbed her slender arm and said insincerely:
“The food here is not good, I suddenly changed my mind.
There are so many snacks in Beijing, why don’t we go and try some?”
After saying this, he suddenly realized that he had been rude and reluctantly let go of her hand, with a faint warmth from her body still lingering between his fingertips.
