Delicate Flower Chapter 106: True or false
Thoughts grow together like weeds.
But this is not the time to talk about this.
Yu Tang kept this matter in mind, turned around, took the painting and asked Wang: "Should we put it away or frame it and hang it?"
Favors in the family come and go, and some good things will be put away and given away on special occasions. Especially paintings like Zhang Hui's, which not only have literary names, but are also really good, it is the most honorable gift to give to those knowledgeable scholars.
Perhaps with this in mind, Zhang Hui only inscribed a congratulatory message on the painting of grapes, while the other three paintings were all stamped with private seals.
But Mrs. Wang couldn't put it down and said, "I asked the master to frame it and hang it in your brother's study. I heard from Mrs. Wei that Miss Xiang had attended a private school for ten years."
Hang these paintings will add a lot of beauty to the Yu family.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, then ordered him to go down without saying anything.
After the second day of February, the Xiang family sent someone to look at the new house.
The woman’s furniture has been laid out a long time ago. When she came to see the new house this time, she said she wanted to see if there was anything else that could be added or subtracted. In fact, she wanted to urge her to see if the Yu family had followed suit. Previously, a new house was arranged for the newlyweds as promised through the matchmaker and the prime minister.
Yu Bo only has one son, and the couple values their children. They not only repainted the three east wing rooms as promised to the Xiang family, but also built a flower wall in the east wing room, the main room, and the west wing room. Plants such as wisteria were planted to turn the east wing into a small courtyard, and a two-room setback was built behind the east wing, which can be used as both the Xiang's storeroom and the bedroom for the maids to rest.
In order to satisfy the Xiang family, Wang specially took the Xiang family to see the north room in the east wing that had been turned into a study.
The north room with two pieces of transparent glass is brightly lit, the black-painted pillars are tall and solemn, and the paintings hanging on the wall are delicate and delicate.
The woman who came over from Xiang’s family is said to be Mrs. Xiang’s personal mother-in-law. Mrs. Xiang brought her from the Shen family. She probably has some vision. The flower wall courtyard did not let her show any obvious preferences. She saw four of Zhang Hui’s paintings. But he was very moved when he was painting. He stood there and looked at it for a long time, and then said to Wang with a sincere smile: "My wife, thank you for your hard work. No wonder my aunt was full of praise when I mentioned my wife. This wedding was really well prepared. ”
The principles are all the same.
Since the Xiang family is satisfied with these paintings, they must also be satisfied with Yu Tang's previous idea of inviting all the scholars in Lin'an City to his home.
While Wang was relieved, she couldn't help but start praising Yu Tang: "It's all arranged by our niece. As you know, my second uncle is a scholar, and this niece has been studying with her father since she was a child. A boudoir girl with extraordinary vision and insight, I also rely on her a lot for her brother's marriage."
The Xiang family had a thorough investigation of the Yu family when Mrs. Wei was playing matchmaker for Miss Xiang.
If the Yu family hadn't had a simple population and a good reputation, Mr. Xiang would never have agreed to this marriage even if he didn't care about his daughter.
The visitors from the Xiang family naturally followed Wang's words and praised Yu Tang again and again.
Ms. Wang smiled happily, feeling that the people from the Xiang family were not as difficult to get in touch with as she had imagined before, so she showed some sincerity and allowed the people from the Xiang family to eat.
Good intentions are mutual.
When the people in the Xiang family saw that Wang was sincere, their worries dropped, and they began to treat Wang sincerely. The two families had a peaceful meal. When the mother-in-law returned to Xiang's house, she couldn't help but praise the Yu family in front of Mrs. Xiang. Mrs. Xiang smiled and teased the mother-in-law: "I don't know what benefits the Yu family has given you. I just went there to treat you." I was bribed. If you go here a few more times, I think your heart will go to your armpits."
The woman's face turned red.
Mrs. Xiang didn't take it to heart and waved her hand: "Okay, you don't need to say more. She can find a good family and live peacefully, and don't cause trouble to her brother in the future. Why would I make a fuss, old man?" It’s too much to worry about An Ren.”
The mother-in-law didn’t dare to answer the conversation.
But the Yu family seemed to have accomplished a big event. They gathered together for dinner in the evening, and Mrs. Wang talked quickly about the people coming from Xiang's family today.
Yu Bo felt that he had really bowed his head to marry a wife this time. If he hadn’t seen Mrs. Wei as a smart and capable girl, the girls she taught would not be any worse, and his son really liked him, he would not have been so angry. . But he couldn't listen to Wang's praise of Xiang's family. He pushed Wang's favorite broad beans in front of her and said, "Just stop saying a few words and eat quickly. It's cold and the dishes are cold."
Wang stopped the topic nonchalantly.
Yu Wen, who had not spoken much, said to Yu Tang and Yu Yuan: "You two will follow me to Pei's house tomorrow. Manager Pei will send someone to deliver a letter in the afternoon, saying that Mr. Pei San has something to ask us to come and talk to."
It should be about the map, right?
Yu Tang thought, and Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly. Early the next morning, I followed Yu Wen to Pei Mansion.
The Pei family seemed to have fallen into a fairy cave in the mortal world. The cold winter had just passed, and the trees in their house were still very lush. They walked along the bluestone corridor where they came in last time. They felt like the last time they came, without any traces. Variety.
Yu Tang didn’t understand it in the past, but now he knows how much manpower and material resources it takes to maintain the same four seasons throughout the year.
She thought again of the Pei family's shop in Hangzhou City.
The Pei family should be richer than they thought, right?
Yu Tang thought deeply and followed his father and brother to the study where Pei Yan saw them last time.
There was only a little boy guarding the study, and no one else.
The little boy saw someone coming in and stepped forward to salute.
Yu Tang recognized the little boy as the one she had met in Zhaoming Temple and the Yu family’s old house. She suddenly felt excited about meeting an old friend in a foreign land. She couldn’t help but hold back while the little boy served them tea with a straight face and a serious look on his face. I kept whispering to the child: "Do you still remember me? I remember your name was A Ming. Is that your name?"
The little boy nodded solemnly like an adult, but while the steward who led them in was talking to Yu Wen, he showed a festive smile to Yu Tang, pointed to the refreshments in her hand, and whispered: "fennel beans , so delicious!"
This little clever guy!
Yu Tang’s heart was so cute. Seeing that her father was still talking to the manager, she asked him quietly: "What is the third master doing?"
The child named A Ming immediately pursed his lips into a slit and shook his head vigorously.
If the steward of the Pei family hadn't been here, Yu Tang would have laughed out loud.
Of course she wouldn't embarrass A Ming, she touched his head and didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, Pei Yan strode in.
With the air-conditioning outside, Yu Tang, who was sitting at the door, couldn't help but shiver. He couldn't help but curse Pei Yan: It's such a cold day and the earth dragon doesn't burn. I don't know what's wrong with it!
Pei Yan wore a moon-white muslin cotton robe today, with a green bamboo-colored cloth belt tied around his waist. Other than that, he had no other accessories. This time he was truly simple.
Yu Tang looked so uncomfortable, always feeling like something was missing.
Pei Yan seemed to be very busy. He sat down and raised his hands and rushed all the waiters out of the house. He went straight to the point and said to the three members of the Yu family: "I've found someone to go on a trial voyage. The map is real. I'm going to prepare it." What do you think about setting the auction date for March 16th?"
Although he spoke in terms of discussion, his tone was very firm. He obviously felt that this arrangement was very good and the Yu family would not refuse it.
The three members of the Yu family all changed their faces.
March 16th is Yu Yuan’s wedding date.
Why is it that Pei’s banquet is not arranged in the morning or in the evening, but it is arranged on this day?
And when their family proposed to share the auction money with the Pei family, Pei Yan did not agree.
Yu Yuan couldn't help but look at Pei Yan with a bit of suspicion.
He winked at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang saw it, but felt that Yu Yuan was too worried about this matter.
There is a huge difference in strength between the Yu family and the Pei family, so Pei Yan does not need to use such tactics.
Yu Wenze thought that since Pei Yan had set this date, there must be a reason. How should he balance these two things?
He had no idea for a moment and showed some hesitation.
Pei Yan, on the other hand, was confused and asked: "What? Do you think this is a bad day? I asked the Tao family in Guangzhou to help with the sea trial. Somehow, the news leaked out, and now it's I don’t know which families know the news, so I thought, don’t hide it, move the time back, and let those who are interested in bidding participate. Maybe the auction price is not as high as we thought before. It’s so high, but it can’t handle the crowds, so maybe more money will fall into your pocket.”
It can be seen that Pei Yan did not know about Yu Yuan's marriage at all.
Perhaps he has been busy with map matters during this period and has no time to pay attention to what is happening in Lin'an City.
Yu Tang said euphemistically: "On March 16th, my eldest cousin got married..."
Pei Yan was stunned, looked Yu Yuan up and down, and said, "How old is your eldest cousin? Why are you getting married so early?"
Most boys and girls in Lin'an City get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen. It's not too late for her eldest cousin, but it's not too early either.
Yu Tang said: "My eldest cousin is the only male in our family!"
Pei Yan suddenly realized ~IndoMTL.com~ and said decisively: "Then let's set it on the tenth day of March. What do you think? Mr. Yu should be able to get back the money from each auction before he gets married."
The eldest cousin’s marriage can be properly arranged.
Is that what he meant?
Yu Tang couldn't help but glance at Pei Yan.
I didn’t expect this person to have such delicate thoughts.
"Okay!" Yu Wen thought that if he threw this map out earlier, his family would be at peace sooner. Of course, the sooner the better, "Let's listen to the third master."
Pei Yan smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, called Pei Man in, and said: "The auction time is set for the tenth day of March, so hurry up and send the invitations to the houses we have decided on before. ”
Pei Man retreated in response.
Pei Yan handed Yu Wen the list of people he was going to invite to the auction, and then introduced each family's origins.
Guangzhou Tao family, Huzhou Wu family, Quanzhou Yin family, Longyan Li family...any one of them can crush the Yu family.
If they hadn't invited the Pei family to come forward, even if they had a plan to sell, they still had to spend the money!
The more Yu Wen listened, the more he sweated. The more he listened, the more grateful he was that he had listened to Yu Tang's advice.
