Delicate Flower Chapter 84: Busy
It has been half a year since the "Picture of Fishing in Songxi" came to the Yu family. One thing happened after another, and the Yu family has always been in an anxious mood. Now they can finally put this The pot was thrown out, and both Yu Wen and Yu Yuan felt relieved, feeling that the long-lost peaceful and leisurely life would soon return to them.
"As for the map, we can just listen to Mr. Pei San." Yu Wen happily said to Yu Yuan, "The family can start preparing for the New Year."
Yu Yuan’s face turned red.
He and Miss Xiang have already made an appointment. During the Chinese New Year, they have to go to Xiang’s house to send New Year’s gifts and discuss a wedding date. And the shop on Changxing Street has to open.
Yu Wen told him: "Miss Xiang's situation is special. I will ask your aunt to go to Wei's house to ask whether Miss Xiang is celebrating the New Year at Wei's house or returning to Xiang's house. If Miss Xiang stays at Wei's house for New Year, I’m afraid you’ll have to give two identical gifts as a gift this year.”
One is to cultivate kindness and the other is to generate kindness. Neither side should be neglected.
Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly.
Yu Wen asked Chen to visit the Wei family.
Ms. Chen rarely socializes with others, and Yu Wen is mostly in charge of family matters. Although she thinks Mrs. Wei is very nice and agreeable, she has no confidence in such matters, especially when Yu Tang behaves so well during this period. It was so brilliant that even Yu Wen began to listen to her opinions, and she gradually began to rely on her daughter psychologically. Seeing Yu Wen say this, she pulled Yu Tang: "You come with me, just in time for your Aunt Wei Say hello."
After saying goodbye to the Pei family, Yu Tang was busy with the map and had not seen anyone from the Wei family for a few days. He felt that he should also go to the Wei family to say hello to Mrs. Wei and others at this time, so he happily The ground responded.
When Mrs. Chen saw this, she simply took her to the Pei family's Jinlou again, bought Yutang some gold and silver jewelry suitable for a little girl, and said: "I guess it will be fine after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Now that we can set the wedding date for your brother and Miss Xiang, there will definitely be many guests at home during the Chinese New Year, so you have to dress up nicely."
At this time, it is also a good time for the wives of each family to get to know Yu Tang, and it is also a good time to ask the wives of each family to help Yu Tang propose marriage.
Yu Tang didn't think much about it. She had been thinking about Pei Yan for the past few days.
The man himself is so well-dressed, yet he still pretends to be simple. He is simply a sanctimonious guy. He also likes girls to dress up in a flashy way, which doesn't fit the impression he gives off at all.
This person must have many tricks up his sleeve.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is no news about the auction. He still needs his help in making ideas about who to cooperate with later, and to introduce partners to him. The Yu family has to give him a New Year's gift that suits his heart. good.
If you can’t buy it in Lin’an City, let me go to Hangzhou City.
And the Gu family.
Gu Xi has the best relationship with her brother Gu Chang. The Li Duan family has split from the Li family, so she has to find out what the Gu family thinks of this matter.
Furthermore, we need to find out why the Li family's clan is separated from the Li Duan family. Maybe it can be used in the future...
When Yu Tang thinks about it, he feels a lot of things.
But now that she was no longer worried about her life, she was no longer as anxious as before, and felt that there was still hope for everything. Instead, she didn't think it was a trouble. After deciding on the jewelry, she encouraged Mrs. Chen to go to an antique store to have a look. : "I have to choose something for Mr. Pei San that can be used as a holiday gift that year."
Ms. Chen touched her purse and said, "How about you and your father come to visit?"
Yu Tang said with a smile: "What doesn't Mr. Pei San have? To give him a New Year's gift, you have to spend a lot of time shopping. He may not like something that can be easily bought with money. Expensiveness comes second, the most important thing is fun ."
Ms. Chen was right after thinking about it, and said: "Then tell your brother, he might be able to meet someone suitable while he is outside."
Yu Tang nodded with a smile, and entered the antique shop not far away with Chen.
When Mrs. Chen saw a pen washer with a lotus pond, she thought of the new pieces of jewelry she had just ordered, and couldn't help but said: "Didn't you like those simple and lively styles in the past? How can you choose flowers now?" ?"
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Don't you look good?"
"It's beautiful." Ms. Chen looked at her daughter with a smile and said sincerely, "Our daughter has bright eyes and white teeth, and she looks good when she wears those flowers. It's just that you used to be stubborn and found it troublesome. Could it be that you have grown up now? Already?"
No.
I was afraid that Pei Yan would ask her to dress "properly" next time.
It’s just that she couldn’t say this to her mother. She smiled and pointed to a Ru kiln plum vase next to her and said, “Mom, look! Isn’t it beautiful?”
Chen said: "Of course it's beautiful. But this plum vase?"
Even if their family doesn’t set a wedding date for Yu Yuan, they can’t afford it.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, saying: "I just want you to see."
One day, she can buy whatever she wants.
Ms. Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Tang saw a bronze beast-shaped door knocker next to it. He couldn't tell what kind of mythical beast it was, but the beast looked simple and rough, with a bit of weight.
She couldn't help but smile and said to the boy accompanying her: "Do you still sell this in your shop?"
The young man was very familiar with the things in his shop. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Miss, I don't know, but this door knocker is very particular. Can you recognize what kind of mythical beast this is? It's a Pixiu. You didn't expect it, did you? That's not the most amazing thing." As he said that, the boy took out the beast-shaped door knocker, then pulled off the ring, and saw a small beast like the mythical beast spit out from the beast's mouth.
Both Yu Tang and Chen found it interesting.
When the boy saw it, he pulled the newly spit out little beast's ring.
The little beast spit out another smaller beast from its mouth.
"Interesting, interesting!" Yu Tang said. After the boy stuffed the newly spitted beast in, she started to pull it again.
Seeing her interest, the boy quickly introduced the history of this door knocker: "This is the door beast from the secret room of the eldest princess of Jinyang in the past. It is in charge of property. It was originally a pair, but the other one was lost. ..."
This kind of thing that has no way to prove its inheritance sequence is mostly nonsense.
Yu Tang said: "How about I take it to shopkeeper Tong Da to see."
The boy shut up.
Yu Tang asked him: "How much is this door knocker?"
The boy hesitated for a moment and said: "Ten taels of silver."
Yu Tang bargained with him: "Go and ask the shopkeeper if you can sell it for two taels of silver?"
The young man was so depressed that he went to the shopkeeper with a red face and made a deal for two taels of silver.
Ms. Chen remained silent until she left the antique shop before whispering: "Are you planning to give this to Mr. Pei San?"
"Yes!" Yu Tang said with a smile, "Think of it as a pathfinder. If he stays, we will know what to give him in the future?"
Ms. Chen was noncommittal, but Yu Wen also thought it was interesting. After playing at home for a long time, he found a brocade box to put it in, ready to be sent as a New Year's gift to the Pei family.
As for the Wei family, Miss Xiang will leave the cabinet in the spring of next year. Although she spent the New Year at the Wei family in previous years, Lao An of the Xiang family personally sent someone to pick her up this year. He said that Miss Xiang will not leave the cabinet at the Xiang's house and has already That's wrong. If she doesn't go back to celebrate the New Year at this time, she won't be able to live.
Mrs. Wei did not dare to take pictures of her anymore, and said to Mrs. Chen with a wry smile: "This child, you don't know how you will be punished after you go back?"
Ms. Chen comforted Mrs. Wei: "It's only for this Spring Festival at most. If you endure it for a while, it will be the calamity that the Bodhisattva asked her to overcome, and everything will be good in the future."
Mrs. Wei shook her head, not wanting to talk to them about this, and pulled Yu Tang to talk about the New Year greetings: "I will come here with your mother on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Your sister-in-law will also be back by then, and I will ask her to accompany her. You beat the horse and hang it."
Miss Xiang laughed and said: "Aunt, looking at peach blossoms, eating fruits, and throwing pots, what's not fun, why do you play horse hanging?"
Everyone laughed.
Yu Tang liked Miss Xiang's cheerfulness very much, and suddenly felt much closer to her.
After returning from the Wei family, she began to help her mother prepare New Year's Eve gifts. Yu Bo also returned from Jiangxi at this time. Not only did he bring a shipload of goods with him, but he also hired two lacquerware masters from Jiangxi. Arranging the masters, rebuilding the workshop, displaying the goods, and planning the banquet for the reopening, the lobby uncle was very busy, and the matter of sending gifts to the Xiang family and the Wei family was left to Chen.
Yu Tang also became busy.
Pei Yan is also a little busy.
But he is busier than Yu Tang. There are routines for everything in the family. He only needs to make decisions on things that are beyond the routine. In addition, everyone is celebrating the New Year and Zhou Zijin has also gone back. On the contrary, I am more leisurely than usual and can do what I want to do.
He focused on auctioning the map.
When the Yu family's father and daughter left, they left the map with him. He first wanted to try to copy one by himself, but later found that it was too troublesome and it would be faster to draw one by himself. So he wrote a letter to his senior brother Tao An, whose family was engaged in maritime business, and asked him to send someone to come to him. Here I copied the map and told Tao An that it was a navigation map from Guangzhou to Dashi.
Tao An didn't reply to him. After the Laba Festival, the Tao family's chief manager and one of Tao An's staff rushed to Lin'an City with two masters who could copy maps. They also came with two big masters. Box of gold.
"Our master said that the Pei family is also a wealthy family with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy. The third master is even more noble and solemn. A few things are just a subsidy for us to live in the Pei Mansion. Please say goodbye to the third master. Take it to heart." The chief manager of the Tao family was very humble, "Our master was afraid of delaying the third master's affairs, so he asked us to come directly from Guangzhou as soon as he received the third master's letter~IndoMTL.com~You If you have any requirements, just give them your instructions."
Pei Yan hissed in his heart.
His senior brother is known as "Mengchang Lord" among his fellow students. He is usually very generous, but to be so generous... He curled his lips. If it wasn't to help the Yu family, he would have pretended to be deaf and dumb. I no longer know.
"Does your master have any other instructions?" He said directly, "If not, you can start copying the map for me after dinner!"
"Yes, yes." Manager Tao thought that his master had told him in the letter to tell him what he had to say, and said hurriedly, "Our master also said, if it is convenient, can you let me put the two of them together after you are done?" Can you take it back with me as a master?"
Masters who can copy usually take great risks.
Just like those masters who know how to dig holes and repair tombs, if they encounter secret things, they may not be able to go back.
The Tao family wanted to take the two masters back, not just to save their lives, but to ask Pei Yan if the Tao family could get a share of the pie!
