Qin Guan pointed to a set of jewelry and said, "These are very beautiful. They should be a set. Do you have any explanation?"

Zhou Taixiang said: "This is a set of headdresses, divided into seven pieces, namely hairpin, hairpin, hairpin, Huasheng, Buyao, grate and tin."

Then Zhou Taixiang lowered his voice slightly and said: "This set of gold jewelry is made according to the specifications of my princess of the Great Zhao Kingdom."

"It is built according to the princess's specifications. Isn't this over the limit? Doesn't the government care?" Qin Guan asked slightly surprised.

Zhou Taixiang smiled: "There are some small changes, such as changing the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin to three tails, such as changing the pearls inlaid on it to sapphires, etc. Moreover, the government is close to the people and is not strict in managing this area.

I won't pay too much attention to it. Besides, this is for weddings. A woman may only wear it once in her life, so no one will hold it accountable."

Qin Guan understood this explanation.

This set of jewelry was indeed very beautiful, so Qin Guan thought about buying it and giving it to Xu Qinglan.

The money Xu Qinglan lent to her was defrauded from her father through all kinds of hardships. Qin Guan remembered this favor and couldn't just pay back the money, he had to prepare a gift.

He thinks this set of jewelry is good.

"How much does this set of jewelry cost?" Qin Guan asked.

"Six hundred and eighty-eight strings."

"The amount of money is quite auspicious. Get me a better box to put it in, and the money will be deducted from the account." Qin Guandao.

Zhou Taixiang responded with a smile on his face. He was not afraid of Qin Guan taking things now, and everything he sold was earned.

Qin Guan asked Zhou Taixiang to put each bracelet in a separate box. They were all made of high-quality sandalwood boxes. Zhou Taixiang thought it was for the convenience of giving away.

The set of jewelry also comes in a separate small box, a very exquisite sandalwood jewelry box.

After everything was done, Qin Guan and Zhou Taixiang went downstairs. Erbao had been waiting for Qin Guan downstairs. When he saw the young master coming down, he hurried over to greet him.

Zhou Taixiang called a big and powerful nurse to take Qin Guan back. The things he picked up here today were worth three to four thousand guan, and he was afraid that something might go wrong along the way.

The nurse held the big box, Erbao held the jewelry box, and Qin Guan waved his folding fan to bid farewell to Zhou Taixiang.

While passing by a Four Treasures Store, Qin Guan remembered that when he returned to modern times, if he wanted to write, he would have to buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Anyway, he didn’t bring many things this time, so he might as well buy them here and take them back. Moreover, he

I feel that ancient pens, inks, paper and inkstones seem to be more useful than modern ones.

Qin Guan went to the best studio on the street and chose a She inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones. Qin Guan had also heard of it, a set of Hu pens, five pieces of fine pine smoke ink, and two pieces of fine rice paper.

Not to mention that it is not easy to learn literature, Qin Guan spent nearly 200 strings on this item, which is really not cheap.

In fact, the main reason is that the She inkstone is relatively expensive. The boss said it was the best She inkstone and asked for 180 pieces.

As soon as I got home, my servants sent me several invitations.

Qin Guan was curious about who sent him the invitation. When he opened it, he found that it was an invitation from some classmates or familiar scholars and scholars, inviting him to some poetry meeting.

There are also those who invite themselves to join a certain club.

Qin Guan had never enjoyed this kind of treatment in the past. In the past, if he wanted to join the literati circle, he would have to find one or two familiar people to take him with him. But now, people have already started sending invitations.

This shows that Qin Guan is now somewhat famous in Hangzhou.

The effect of his three poems is indeed not small.

His reputation as a playboy has also been greatly improved.

In fact, throughout the ages, there have been many people who were dissolute, like Liu Yongliu, who failed the imperial examination, spent all day in the fireworks alley, and relied on women to support himself, but he still became a great poet and was sought after by many people at the time.

Therefore, if you are a learned person, you are not afraid of being dissolute. This is called a scholar who is elegant and bohemian.

Those who have no ability are uneducated and have no skills, sleeping in flowers and willows, and are playboys.

In ancient times, the role of talents and poems was very important.

Even if others don't know you, if they know your poems, they will naturally treat you as a guest of honor.

He is popular and respected wherever he goes.

Even more awesome than modern celebrities.

However, Qin Guan has made up his mind not to participate in these poetry gatherings easily. The main reason is that he knows his own family affairs. Although he has many poems from later generations on his mobile phone, these poetry gatherings are very abnormal, and one of them may come up with a poem.

Continuous poems, connected poems.

Or someone else will give you the first half of a sentence and ask you to take the second half. This is a game among literati, but Qin Guan really couldn't play it.

Qin Guan ordered: "When replying to these posts, tell me that I am going to participate in the Autumn Festival in August. I am studying hard in seclusion and have no time to participate in the poetry meeting. I am very sorry. If anyone sends such invitations in the future, just reply like this."

.”

The servants quickly responded.

When Mrs. Qin knew Qin Guan's answer, she was very happy. She clasped her hands together in worship and said in her mouth: "Thank you so much, Master Dao. Guan'er has really become enlightened and sensible. He knows that he has studied hard."

"Well, I have to go to Baopu Taoist Temple in two days and offer some incense money to the Taoist ancestor."

At this time, Qin Zhang, who was far away in Jinling City, also received a letter from home.

When he opened the letter and read it, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it. He looked at the handwriting carefully and found that it was indeed written by his wife. Qin Zhang murmured: "How could Guan'er be admitted as a scholar? Could it be that his wife also gained something?"

I'm so crazy."

Qin Zhang loudly ordered a servant, "Go and call Qin Xi, and then send someone to invite the eldest young master."

Qin Wei walked into the house, and before he could ask his father what he wanted to do, Qin Xi came right after him. After bowing, he asked, "Master, what do you want me to do for you?"

Qin Zhang said with a straight face, "Let me ask you, is everything going well at home? How are the old lady, madam and the second young master doing?"

Qin Xi quickly replied: "Sir, the old lady is fine. She can still walk in the yard a few times a day. The first lady and the second lady are both fine. The second young master is also in good health."

Qin Zhang frowned, "Did Madam personally give this letter to you?"

"The eldest lady personally handed it to the younger one."

Qin Wei looked at his father and felt that his father was acting weird today. Why did he always ask such nonsense questions? Did something happen at home? He also became a little nervous.

Finally, Qin Zhang couldn't help but asked: "Will Guan'er's participation in the imperial examination have any results?"

Hearing this, Qin Xi's face immediately showed joy and said: "Sir, the second young master is a high school scholar. Qin Xi has kowtowed to the eldest lady and asked for wedding money."

Qin Zhang's expression changed. He was happy for a while, disbelieving for a while, and finally asked again: "The lady said in her letter that Guan'er passed the exam to become a scholar. Is it true?"
