Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Wu heard from their servants that Yun Luochuan was taken away by people from the Yamen, or because of fraud, and they were worried at home.
"Old madam, madam, the master and the young master are back." The concierge ran to the door of the main hall and said.
When the two of them heard that the person was back, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that the person was back meant that there was no fraud and everything was fine. If there was really fraud, the person would not be able to come back.
Yun Changfeng and his son entered the main hall.
"What on earth is going on? Why do you think our Luochuan is cheating?" Wu asked looking at her husband.
Yun Changfeng had a proud smile on his face, turned around and sat on the chair and said: "It's nothing, just a few candidates who failed the exam. I don't believe that our Luochuan family is talented and learned, and can be the top scorer in the exam based on their own abilities."
Therefore, they suspected that our Luochuan had committed fraud and went to the Yamen. Our Luochuan directly recited the "Thousand-Character Essay" backwards for them, which shocked all of them."
Mrs. Wu looked at her son in surprise and said, "My son is so good that he can even recite the Thousand-Character Essay backwards."
She imagined in her mind the expressions of those who doubted her son when they were shocked by her son. Just thinking about it made her feel happy.
Yun Luochuan smiled implicitly. He could not only recite "The Thousand Character Essay" backwards but also recite many books backwards.
My son was truly the top-ranked child student in the examination, so of course he still had to attend the event. The family got together and wrote invitations and sent them to relatives and friends.
The date was set for three days later.
Yun Luochuan's uncle didn't send invitations anywhere, because they were far away and they couldn't get there, so he only wrote a letter to tell them the good news.
Shen Wan also received the invitation. After receiving the invitation, she wanted to give him a gift. After thinking about it, she finally decided to buy a good inkstone for him.
next day
In order to buy an inkstone for Yun Luochuan, Shen Wan took Hui'er and Xiaomao'er out. Because they lived close to the busiest main street in the city, they walked directly instead of taking a carriage.
The little boy An didn't let anyone hold him, he held his mother's finger while walking.
Shen Wan is dignified and gentle, and the boy An Bai is tender and cute. When walking on the street, people are bound to look at them twice.
"Look, that doll is so cute. Such a small person can walk on its own."
"Yeah! So good."
When she went shopping a few times before, Shen Wan saw a study on the street, which not only sold books but also pens, inks, paper and inkstones, so she led the boy An into the study in a familiar manner.
There happened to be no guests in the study, so when someone came in, the waiter greeted him warmly.
"What do you want to buy, madam?"
Shen Wan looked at the study and asked, "Do you have a better inkstone here?"
"Yes, we just got two high-quality Duan Inkstones here, made by Master Lin." Seeing her good temperament, the waiter directly introduced the Duan Inkstone, the most expensive one in the shop, to her.
Master Lin is a famous inkstone maker. Although he is not as famous as Fang Lao, the inkstones he makes are second only to Fang Lao.
"Take it out and show it to me!" Shen Wan said.
"Hello sir, please wait a moment." The waiter went and took out the Duan Inkstone, only two pieces in total, and placed them on the counter for Shen Wan to see.
One was carved with bamboo, and the other was carved with orchid, both of which were beautifully carved. Shen Wan took a look at it and felt that the one with orchid was more beautiful and more in line with Yun Luochuan's temperament.
"How much silver?" She pointed to the Duan Inkstone engraved with blue grass and asked the price.
The waiter replied: "Five hundred taels of silver."
"So expensive?" Hui'er's eyes widened. It's just an inkstone for grinding ink, and it costs five hundred taels of silver. This is too expensive!
