Delicate Flower Chapter 105: Tree species


Everyone looked at Yu Tang who was laughing.

Yu Tang hurriedly suppressed his laughter and said to his father: "What are you going to do? Do you want to personally tell the Gu family about the grievances between our two families?"

Yu Wen raised his eyebrows: "Why not?"

Ms. Chen’s heart was beating wildly as she listened, fearing that the father and daughter would mess with each other regardless, so she quickly made an angry look and said: "Why are you getting more and more outrageous! Isn't it a good thing to talk about people's rights and wrongs behind their backs?" ”

Yu Tang and his daughter didn't want to frighten Ms. Chen, so they both shut up.

Wang smiled and persuaded from the side: "Okay, okay. After all, our family has not suffered. As for other people's happiness or anger, and they are not close relatives, what does it have to do with our family? I heard that the Pei family Pay the money, and the government will hold a lantern festival on Changxing Street tomorrow. Everyone has gone to bed early today. Shall we go to Changxing Street to watch the lantern festival together tomorrow?"

Ms. Chen was not really annoyed with the father and daughter. Mrs. Wang handed the steps over, and she naturally walked down the stairs. She said to Wang with a smile: "I was just thinking of making an appointment with my sister-in-law and uncle, but I didn't expect my sister-in-law. Let’s talk first. When are you going to go there tomorrow? Where should we meet?”

The sisters-in-law and sister-in-law decided to go to the lantern festival tomorrow, and Mrs. Chen personally sent Mrs. Wang off.

Yu Wen’s face became serious and he said to Yu Tang: “Come with me.”

Yu Tang did not dare to say anything more and obediently went to the study room with his father.

Yu Wen sat slumped on the Taishi chair and scolded his daughter: "What else have you done? Explain it to me now and I won't pursue it. Otherwise, you will copy the "Book of Filial Piety" ten thousand times."

Wouldn’t that mean your hands would be swollen? !

Yu Tang said with a bitter face: "I really didn't mean to hide it from you. I didn't want to involve you, so I didn't tell you."

Yu Wen said anxiously: "You didn't tell me, but Mrs. Li came home. Fortunately, your aunt came here today. What are you going to do if you scare your mother?"

Yu Tang lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Young Master Yu Wen had no choice but to teach Yu Tang a lesson: "Now that I have told the Gu family about this matter, no matter how the Gu family treats Li Duan, it is all the Li family's business. You actually sent people to keep an eye on Li Duan." , I want to see his jokes. The result is good, you got yourself involved, right?"

At the Li family's side, Ms. Lin smashed several teacups angrily: "It's all the fault of the Yu family. If it weren't for their family, how could my son have suffered such injustice? He clearly knew that my son was going to the school in the second grade of junior high school. New Year's greetings. It's just that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, but they actually asked a servant to entertain my son. What do they mean? Do they think our family is trying to get ahead? I want to see what the Gu family is going to do with this marriage? "

Li Duan only felt deeply tired.

Since the cause of Wei Xiaoshan's death was exposed, things were like a carriage that was out of control, running wildly in a direction that even he didn't know. There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands behind him, pushing him away.

However, is the matter of the Gu family really related to the Yu family, as his mother said?

Aren’t the Yu family scholars?

Why would Yu Wen talk about the rights and wrongs of their family behind their backs, since he also has a literary reputation?

Li Duan looked at his mother whose lips were trembling with anger, thinking about how to comfort her. When he looked up, he saw his cousin Lin Jue standing outside the window and winking at him.

For the "Picture of Fishing in Songxi", Lin Jue not only did not return to Fujian to celebrate the New Year, but also found a way to find a framer to make the map look like new. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they can send someone to deliver the letter to the Peng family.

His cousin's hard work during this time is not in vain.

He calmly nodded towards Lin Jue. Lin Jue understood and returned to his guest room. Li Duan comforted his mother for a few more words before finding an opportunity to escape and meet Lin Jue.

"What happened?" Li Duan said as soon as he saw Lin Jue, "Even my mother has to hide it!"

"Women have long hair but short knowledge." Lin Jue said disapprovingly.

His aunt is no exception.

Instead of worrying about what kind of injustice Li Duan suffered in the Gu family at this time, it is better to care about whether the map is true or false.

As long as the Li family gains power, will the Gu family still be willing to give up Li Duan, the wealthy son-in-law?

Women can never distinguish priorities.

"I'm thinking that before sending the map to the Peng family, we have to make a few copies and keep it." Lin Jue said his thought after careful consideration, "We have to prevent the Peng family from turning their backs and denying anyone."

If there is an emergency, they can take the copied map and find other powerful people to join them.

Li Duan will reveal it with just a little bit. He said: "Then let's send a letter to the Peng family first, saying that we have got the painting, and ask them how to send the painting over and delay it for some time?"

In this way, letters can be sent back and forth for ten days and a half.

Seeing that Li Duan understood what he meant, Lin Jue's eyes flashed with relief, and he lowered his voice: "Is it just this map?"

Li Duan also immediately understood what he meant and said decisively: "Our two families have one piece each."

Lin Jue was satisfied and said: "I'll do it right away. Then I'll go with you to meet the Peng family."

After all, it’s not that the Li family is afraid of monopolizing the Peng family’s benefits.

Li Duan showed no emotion at all, smiled and nodded, saying: "It should be so!"

Lin Jue laughed.

Over at the Yu family, Yu Bo came back from the shop at night. He heard that someone from the Li family came to the Yu family to cause trouble, so he and Wang came over to have a look at Chen, but Yu Yuan did not come with him.

Yu Bo said dissatisfiedly: "That boy, you don't know what you are doing these days? You go out early and come back late. It's hard to meet during the Chinese New Year. If I hadn't seen that he was about to get married, I would have caught him. I was beaten immediately."

Which family’s kids don’t run wild during the Chinese New Year?

Yu Wen didn't think there was anything wrong with Yu Yuan not coming over to say hello, and even advised Yu Bo: "You also said that he is getting married soon. You have to say less to him in the future. When your wife comes in, you should be like this How can he straighten his chest in front of his wife without giving him any face?"

Yu Bo muttered a few words and followed Yu Yuan away.

The next day was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Yu Yuan was still nowhere to be seen. Yu Tang went to Ma Xiu's parents' house. Only brother Yu Bo and Wang's sister-in-law went to the lantern festival together.

Yu Yuan really did what Yu Bo said, he didn’t know what he was busy with.

It wasn’t until the seventeenth day of the first lunar month that the lights were turned off and the New Year was officially over, and every shop was open. Then Yu Yuan appeared out of nowhere and told Yu Tang excitedly: “I found the place you mentioned. Planted a tree. It’s called sea buckthorn. It’s just like what you said. The worse the soil quality, the easier it is to survive.”

Yu Tang also became interested upon hearing this and hurriedly pulled Yu Yuan to the study to talk.

Yu Yuan told her that he and Yao Saner had met several groups of people doing business outside these days. One of them, Gao Qi, was running errands with a salt merchant. He had seen this kind of people in the northwest. Tree: "He also said that if we really want it, he can contact us and send some saplings. However, each sapling costs one or two silver, and we must pay a deposit first."

"So expensive!" Yu Tang was stunned.

She originally thought that this tree was very cheap and easy to take care of, so the Pei family planted this kind of tree on the mountain, and then made preserves and sold them to make money.

If a sapling costs one tael of silver, how much money do they make?

Is there something fishy about this that she doesn't know about?

When Yu Yuan heard what Yu Tang said, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him. The excitement and joy of finding the tree species had suddenly been soaked, like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, wilting. : "Then, should we plant trees?"

Yu Tang was also undecided.

She said: "Wait a minute. Let me think about it carefully."

Yu Tang was wondering whether to ask Pei Yan for advice and find out why Pei Yan thought of planting sea buckthorn trees in their mountain forest...

Shen Fang accompanied Shen Shanyan back to Lin'an City.

Shen Shanyan specially invited Yu Wen to speak: "The tree species you mentioned, my eldest brother has a student who is an official in the northwest, and he can help get some back. It's just that the cost of travel is high, I'm afraid you have to make careful calculations. ."

Yu Wen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he asked, "How much does one plant cost?"

Shen Shanyan said: "Including the travel expenses, one plant costs almost thirty cents."

It is indeed expensive.

But this is what Yu Tang wants.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Can you get a dozen or twenty plants back and let's try planting them?"

"That's no problem." Shen Shanyan smiled. "I'll simply ask him to find you a master who knows how to plant sea buckthorn trees. If he can survive, he can also find a job here."

If you really want to plant trees, neither Yu Yuan nor Yu Tang can live in the mountains. You will always have to hire someone.

"Okay!" Yu Wen agreed readily and told Yu Tang about it when he got back.

Yu Tang was speechless.

Why are the prices so different?

Is it because the channels are different?

Yu Tang didn't think much, just asked Yu Yuan to push the man named Gao Qi, and said that the elders in the family had asked someone to buy seedlings.

This is also human nature.

Yu Yuan didn't take it to heart. He said hello to Gao Qi and dismissed the matter. He started running to the old house every day, measuring the mountains and forests, and arranging spring plowing. Within ten days, he became tanned. .

Wang did not allow him to go into the woods anymore, saying: "This spring sun looks warm, but it is actually the most scorching sun. You are going to get married soon. If the sun is as hot as a lump of coal at this time, The lady in charge may even think that the person she is looking at and the person she is marrying are not the same person!"

Yu Yuan giggled, but stopped going to the woods and focused on preparing for the wedding.

Yu Tang also feels that this matter cannot be rushed ~IndoMTL.com~ The first priority is to help the eldest cousin marry his sister-in-law.

Ordering people on the stove, ordering gongs and suonas, ordering bridal sedan chairs and tents... there are a lot of trivial matters.

Ma Xiuniang found a day to send congratulatory gifts.

Yu Tang welcomed her into his inner room to talk.

Ma Xiuniang said with some embarrassment: "Originally, I was supposed to bring some materials to make new clothes for your brother and sister-in-law, but there were so many things at home that I couldn't leave, so your brother-in-law made the painting on his own initiative. A few paintings are given to your brother in the middle hall, and I wish him a happy and prosperous life."

Yu Tang knew that Ma Xiuniang was in trouble right now, so he held her hand and comforted her for several times, left her to eat, and then sent her out.

When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she was a little curious and took out the gifts from Ma Xiu’s family to watch.

Zhang Hui painted a pomegranate, a magpie, a grape, and a plum, all of which symbolize good luck. What Wang and Yu Tang didn't expect was that these paintings were all very well done. Even Wang, who didn't know how to paint, couldn't put them down after seeing them: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have such painting skills. Even if Mr. Zhang fails to pass the examination, he will not have to worry about having a bite to eat."

Wang's unintentional words made Yu Tang's heart move, and he secretly wondered whether he should ask Zhang Hui to help him draw some lacquerware patterns.

In this way, it can not only solve the dilemma of not having a painter in the shop, but also increase Zhang Hui's family's income.
