Chapter 1055: Zheng Banqiao’s “Turtle Shoushou”
The things to be done today are really big, nothing else, the second grandpa’s 80th birthday!
This matter is still news that Yang Jing had only received the day before. As soon as he got off the plane the day before yesterday, he received a call from his grandmother, who told Yang Jing the news and told him that the second generation of the old Li family would go.
This is no small matter. A family can have an old man over the 80th birthday, which is a great thing in any respect.
The old saying goes well, life is sparse in the past seventy years, and eighty and elder. In ancient times, an eighty-year-old man was an absolute old birthday, and he could not worship the emperor, and the emperor had to bow his hand to pay tribute to you.
In ancient times, people who live long must have great blessings, so even the emperor Laoer is willing to take this blessing.
Now, with the continuous improvement of living conditions and medical conditions, there are more and more elderly people in their eighties. But in any case, there is an old man in the family celebrating his 80th birthday, let alone that family, as long as the whole family has the conditions, they have to come to celebrate the birthday.
No, when Yang Jing called his mother, his mother explained the details again.
Yang Jing’s grandfather has four brothers and sisters, and his grandfather is the third, but he is the eldest son of the family, because above him are two older sisters. Grandpa’s eldest sister passed away 20 years ago, and now there are three of their sisters left. Grandpa’s second sister, Yang Jing’s second grandmother, is also ninety years old this year. She is ten years older than Yang Jing’s second grandfather, but her birthday is later in September, so this year not only The second grandfather’s 80th birthday, and the second aunt’s grandmother’s 90th birthday.
When the elders in the family celebrate their full-year birthday, they all pass it one year in advance, that is, pass the false year. So this year, there are two elderly people in the old Li’s family who have their 80th birthday and 90th birthday respectively.
This is a great happy event for the whole family of the old Li family. So this time the second grandfather is celebrating his 80th birthday. Yang Jing’s family of three, Aunt Yang Jing’s family of five, Yang Jing’s family of three, and Yang Jing’s old uncle will come. Li Yinuo will come because he needs to go to school. No, otherwise the girl would have to come.
It’s just that Yang Jing didn’t know the birthday of the second grandfather, nor the birthday of the second aunt, so he didn’t have much to prepare in advance.
But since my mother explained the situation, Yang Jing has to prepare a gift.
Needless to say, the whole family only has treasures here. It is more than enough to pick out a few as birthday gifts.
Yang Jing knows that because there are parents who participate in birthday celebrations, they don’t need to give birthday gifts to the elderly alone. The second generation of the old Li family are all representative. Of course, if Yang Jing and the others want to give it, there is no problem, but the value of the gift must not exceed the value of the gift from the elders, otherwise it will be out of compliance.
In other words, Yang Jing needs to prepare four gifts for his mother and the others, as well as one gift for grandpa and grandma. Although grandpa and grandma are not coming, they have to show it.
Later, Yang Jing asked her elder cousin again and asked her if she was going to give her birthday gift. The eldest cousin said that those who got married and got married should not give it to those who did not get married and got married, so Yang Jing prepared two more sets of gifts.
He and his eldest cousin have already married, and they have to give birthday gifts to the second grandpa. So Yang Jing prepared a total of seven gifts.
It would not be easy for others to prepare these seven sets of gifts in a hurry, but to Yang Jing it is nothing at all. There are many treasures in the basement of the Hai Siheyuan. Those treasures are not quite qualified to be exhibited in the Grand Canal Museum, but they are also extremely precious antique works of art for ordinary people. Especially Lao Na really collected a lot of miscellaneous treasures back then, such as the Qing Dynasty Wenwan lion head walnut, red sandalwood inlaid gold and silver bird cages, Qing Dynasty ivory carvings…So, Yang Jing just walked around in the basement and prepared the birthday gift to be prepared.
But while preparing the present, Grid suddenly said: “Yang Jing, I suddenly remembered that my grandma will have her 80th birthday this year!”
“Huh? Your grandma is also a horse?”
“Well, it’s a horse. It’s seventy-nine weeks this year, and it’s eighty years old. But my grandma won’t have her birthday until the end of the year.”
“Lady, don’t say anything, choose a good gift for Fuding as a lady.”
Grid smiled and said, “I didn’t mean that. I just remembered what happened in the previous years. I still remember that when you just came back that year, we went to Uncle Jiang to choose a birthday present for grandma, and you gave it to grandma. A bracelet carved from Hetian white jade, my grandmother really likes it, and she still wears it on her hand and is reluctant to take it off.”
“Hey, lady, back then, my husband used such a bracelet to fool you, lady…”
“Go, what are you talking nonsense!” Grid jealously punched Yang Jing, “I didn’t follow you for the sake of your darlings. Back when you were a poor boy, I had my eyes on the bead. The picture of you is just a fool who was afraid of this and that, and he made me wait for years! Humph, now you are ashamed to say…”
Yang Jing was moved in his heart and grabbed the hand of his daughter-in-law and said, “Daughter-in-law, how can we see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Our relationship has been tested, and our relationship will definitely be stronger in the future. Fine gold, as solid as golden soup! We will definitely go through the whole life hand in hand! I will treat you for the rest of my life…”
The two wanted to be in the basement for a while, but the phone rang untimely. Yang Jing answered the phone, and it turned out to be his mother.
“We have passed Cangzhou, and we will be at Yanjing South Station in forty minutes. Come and pick us up!”
hung up the phone, Yang Jing shook his head helplessly and sighed, making Grid laugh.
“Hurry up, don’t waste time, or parents should bear you again.”
In this way, the couple drove and pulled gifts. Morris and Clark drove the rented Coaster minibus and came to the exit of Yanjing South Station together to wait.
After waiting at the South Station for a short while, I saw a large family come out of the station.
The Toyota Coaster minibus leased by Yang Jing is for the family, and this family is also 13 or 4 people.
“Xiao Jing, how is the gift you prepared?” As soon as she got on the bus, Yang’s mother asked her son. Originally, according to the intentions of grandpa, grandma, and aunt and uncle, this birthday gift was prepared by the family. Where can the elders have their birthdays? How many gifts from the family were prepared by a younger generation? It doesn’t make sense.
It was Madam Yang who rejected this statement. In Madam Yang’s words, if my son is not short of these things now, let him prepare a birthday gift. That would definitely appear to be very tall. Isn’t this also arguing for our father and mother?
Yang Jing’s grandfather does not look at the third in the family, but he is the eldest son. His second brother has his 80th birthday. Naturally, he, the eldest brother, can’t be too shabby, but it’s not a good idea to prepare birthday gifts for the elderly. Simple things, so Mother Yang simply left it to her son.
Everyone in the family knew that his nephew had a lot of good things, and he didn’t need the money, so they agreed to Yang’s proposal. Now Mother Yang has seen her son, of course she cares about this issue. If the son can’t bring out good things, it will save her Li Ping’s face.
Family also want to speak of face, okay?
“Hey, who dares not follow the decree of your Queen Mother Lafayette? Don’t worry, mom, I have already prepared my second grandfather’s birthday gift.” Then, Yang Jing took the birthday gift from the trunk of the car from Took it out of his pocket.
“Here, this is a gift from my grandfather and my grandmother. How many of your staff members think is appropriate?” Then, Yang Jing took out a scroll and opened it. Although everyone could not understand what was written, this picture The momentum of calligraphy can be clearly felt, so everyone nodded in unison.
Only the old uncle asked in a little surprise after reading it carefully: “Xiao Jing, is this Zheng Banqiao’s character?”
“Well, yes, this character is indeed a picture of “Turtle Shoushou” written by Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Monsters in Yangzhou.”
“Yeah, the value of this character is greatly increased.” The old uncle licked his teeth.
“Hey, you don’t know this, old uncle? There are still several pictures of “Turtle Although Life” in the basement of my yard, and this one by Lao Zheng can only be regarded as ordinary.”
“Huh? Why do you still have it?”
“Well www.readwn.com For example, Dong Qichang’s, such as Tang Bohu’s, such as Xu Wei’s…” The old uncle was speechless after hearing this.
This is really no way, who made this song “Turtle Shoushou” written by a generation of hero Cao Cao too famous? In particular, the phrase “Old Jifuping, Aspiration for Thousands of Miles” has become a quatrain for eternity. So since Cao Cao, many calligraphers have written this poem, or a certain line in this poem.
At the beginning, Mr. Na did not go to the house to draw good things, including these calligraphy and paintings. Among them, Mr. Na received four or five copies of “Turtle Although Shou”.
It’s like hanging in the Grand Canal Museum a piece of “Turtle Shoushou” written by Huang Tingjian, regardless of whether it is Dong Qichang, Tang Bohu, or Xu Wei. It seems that it is not as good as Huang Tingjian in calligraphy. After all, Huang Tingjian is one of the four great calligraphy masters in the Northern Song Dynasty. , And Huang Tingjian wants it earlier.
Therefore, Yang Jing chose to choose and put Huang Tingjian’s “Turtle Shoushou” on display in the Grand Canal Museum. As for the remaining works, except for Tang Bohu’s “Turtle Shoushou” hanging in the wing, others All of them are in the basement. This time it happened to be taken out as a birthday gift.
“Uncle, how do you think this character is a gift from my grandfather and grandma?” Yang Jing asked.
The old uncle shook his head helplessly and sighed: “Your kid has taken out Zheng Banqiao’s words as a birthday gift. What else can I say? This must be possible.”
“Hey, that’s it. Come on, you guys will take a look at the gifts I have chosen for you, and see if you like it…”
