Chapter 9 Qin Chi's betrothal gift, four treasures of the study
Qin Chi saw Song Jin's indifferent attitude and for some reason, he felt quite upset.
Qin Chi stood up, walked to the bookshelf, moved a stool and stepped on it, then took out four wooden boxes from the top of the bookshelf.
They were placed in front of Song Jin one by one.
Qin Chi said seriously: "This is my betrothal gift to you. Don't mention it again in the future that I didn't spend a penny to marry you."
Song Jin didn't expect Qin Chi would care so much about this sentence.
Look at the things in front of you, commonly known as the four treasures of the study: pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"Hui ink, She inkstone, Zhuge's brush, Chengxintang paper..."
Song Jin was slightly stunned.
For a moment, I was speechless.
If these appeared in the study rooms of princes, nobles or wealthy families, Song brocade would not be surprising.
He just happened to appear in the Qin family.
Appeared in an ordinary farmer's house in the mountains!
Qinjiagou is close to the mountains.
This mountain was called Yishan in ancient times. Legend has it that it was the alchemy furnace of the Yellow Emperor. In the Tang Dynasty, poets such as Li Bai and Bai Juyi climbed and praised it. In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Huangshan and became a Taoist holy place.
There are many records about Huangshan in every dynasty, and there are countless poems and songs praising it by literati and poets.
And here are four treasures.
That is to say, Qin Chi took out the four treasures of the study: Hui ink, She inkstone, Zhuge's brush, and Chengxintang paper.
As the saying goes, "Gold is easy to get, but Hui ink is hard to find", "One ounce of gold is worth one ounce of ink", which refers to Hui ink.
She Inkstone is as famous as Duan Inkstone. The stone is tough, the texture is fine, the ink is released easily, and it can store water without drying up. It is exquisitely carved and has a unique shape. It has been highly praised by celebrities of all ages and is therefore famous all over the world.
Zhuge's pen is Wang Boli's pen.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Boli founded "Sibaotang", which produced the four treasures of the study, and was especially famous for its pens.
Chengxintang paper is the imperial paper.
This paper was first made in the Southern Tang Dynasty and was one of the three treasures of the Southern Tang study. It was rated as the best paper in the history of papermaking and is known for its egg-like texture, jade-like hardness, and smoothness.
During the annual tribute period, the four treasures of the study from She were indispensable treasures and were deeply loved by the court and famous scholars.
Song Jin said: "These are worth at least a thousand taels if they are sold."
Qin Chi raised his eyebrows, "Do you only think about money?"
Song Jin looked at him suspiciously, with questioning eyes.
The reason is that these were all made by Qin Chi himself, and most of the materials were obtained when he went to Huangshan. The four pieces in front of you are the best treasures he has left behind.
To him, it was priceless.
Song Jin smiled happily and carefully gathered the four treasures in front of him. "Then I would be disrespectful to refuse this betrothal gift."
Qin Chi looked at her with a smile.
After everything was put away, Song Jin solemnly promised, "My husband, next time Second Aunt says that you didn't spend a penny on marrying a wife, I will tell her the truth with all my heart."
Qin Chi: ...
Can he regret it?
Knock knock.
Someone knocks on the door.
Li's voice rang out from outside the door, "Da Lang, the eldest and second aunts are here, both of you come out and recognize them."
"Okay, mom."
Qin Chi agreed and looked at Song Jin again.
There is a banquet at home today.
It's normal to have relatives coming over. Song Jin had dealt with two of them in his previous life. There are many different kinds of people.
Song Jin didn't want to comment on them.
In her previous life, Song Jin had been married to the Qin family for seven years but had no children. These two people were the most excited about it. They often advised Qin Mingsong to divorce his wife and marry another woman. They also looked at Song Jin with a frown and never had a good face.
When going out.
Song Jin saw Qin Mingsong toasting to the elders of the clan, and his behavior was humble and polite. Song Xiu, with her hair in a bun, followed Qin Mingsong like a well-behaved young wife.
Qin Chi and Song Jin came out.
Following Qin Chi, Song Jin knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Those who came to the Qin family as guests originally thought that Qin Mingsong was lucky enough to marry a pretty young lady. However, when they saw Song Jin, they realized how superficial they had been.
This one is prettier.
It is so beautiful that they cannot describe it.
Old man Qin’s ancestral tomb was well-buried, and the young ladies he married were all prettier than the other.
A baby born this way will definitely be good-looking.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Song Xiu glanced at Song Jin from time to time, with eyes that could not be concealed, and a sense of superiority that she was in control of the future.
Qin Chi leaned close to Song Jin's ear and reminded her softly, "The way your aunt looks at you is not right. It's as if...she knows that you are going to be in trouble. What do you think it is?"
Song Jin was speechless.
Song Xiu thought she had hidden her little thoughts very well.
The result was discovered at a glance.
Song Jin seemed to be thinking seriously, and replied: "Maybe... because I married you?"
Qin Chi was choked.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
But his face remained calm, without showing any emotion.
Qin Chi wanted to test the waters a little.
Song Jin's answer made him feel helpless.
In fact, these two sisters were quite interesting. They brought him a lot of fun in just two or three days.
The two of them were whispering with a distance between them, but in the eyes of others, their behavior seemed very intimate.
Song Xiu was happy to see its completion.
The better the relationship between Song Jin and Qin Chi, the more painful it will be when Qin Chi dies.
In their previous life, Qin Chi and Song Xiu were married in name only. Qin Chi either lived in the academy or went home to share a room with several children from the second wife. Not to mention that they did not consummate the marriage, they had only met a few times in total.
Therefore, Qin Chi’s death did not hurt Song Xiu at all. What really made her hate him was the vicious rumors outside.
They say she is unlucky for her husband and that she is a jinx.
She killed Qin Chi and killed Li! She even caused the disappearance of Boss Qin! What Song Xiu wanted most now was to let Song Jin have a taste of her past life.
I had previously suspected whether Song Jin had memories of his past life like me.
Now Song Xiu doesn’t think so anymore.
Not only did Song Jin agree to the marriage exchange and get close to Qin Chi, she also didn't feel strange about Qin Mingsong marrying her.
You have to know that Qin Mingsong and Song Jin have been married for several years and have never quarreled. You can imagine how good their relationship is.
Everything was going just as she had hoped.
After the toast, Song Xiu came to Song Jin and whispered, "Sister, you haven't added any makeup for me yet."
"You need this little thing?"
"Whether I am good or not, what does it have to do with whether I give it to you or not?"
Song Xiu's thick skin made Song Jin admire her.
After such a big fight yesterday, today he acted like nothing happened and came to her with a smile to ask for a gift.
Maybe he didn't take her words seriously.
I think so.
In her previous life, Song Xiu was so noisy, but Song Jin didn't give up on her and often cleaned up her mess. Maybe he was confident? Song Jin went back to his room in silence.
She picked out a pearl headdress from the box and went to find Song Xiu.
Song Xiu had already returned to her bridal chamber. When she saw someone coming in, she thought it was Qin Mingsong and was about to put on her best attitude.
It was Song brocade at first sight.
Song Xiu curled her lips, "Why is it you?"
"A wedding gift."
Song Jin handed the pearl headdress to Song Xiu.
Song Xiu sneered: "Sister, you have become so stingy just now after becoming a peasant woman? This is not as expensive as what I gave you."
"Don't want it? That's a good way to save money."
Song Jin was about to withdraw his hand, but Song Xiu snatched it away.
"The pearls on it are worth at least a few taels."
After the gift was given, Song Jin turned and left.
As I walked to the door, I ran into Qin Mingsong who came in drunk.
The remaining chapter will be updated tomorrow.
