It has been half a year since the "Picture of Fishing in Pine Stream" fell into Yu's house. One incident after another, Yu's family has always been in a state of anxiety, and now they can finally get rid of the pot Both Yu Wen and Yu Yuan felt relieved, and felt that the long-lost peaceful and leisurely life would soon return to their side.
"As for the map, we just listen to Master 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 Ms. Xiang have already made an appointment, and during the Chinese New Year, they have to send New Year gifts to Xiang's house and discuss the wedding date. And the shop on the other side of 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 see if Miss Xiang is staying at Wei's house for Chinese New Year or returning to Xiang's house for Chinese New Year. I'm afraid you have to send two identical copies."
One side is nurturing grace and the other is giving birth to grace, neither side should be neglected.
Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly.
Yu Wen asked Mrs. Chen to visit Wei's house.
Chen seldom socializes with others, and Yu Wen is in charge of most of the family affairs. Although she thinks Mrs. Wei is a nice person, and she gets along well with her, but she has no idea about such things, especially during this period of time when Yu Tang has performed very well. Even Yu Wen began to listen to her opinion, and she gradually began to rely on her daughter psychologically. Seeing what Yu Wen said, she pulled Yu Tang closer: "You come with me, just to say hello to Aunt Wei. .”
Since the Pei family left, Yu Tang has been busy with the map, and hasn't seen anyone from the Wei family for a few days. He feels that he should also go to the Wei family to say hello to Mrs. Wei and others at this time, so he happily agreed. up.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chen simply dragged her back to the Jinlou of Pei's family, bought some gold and silver jewelry suitable for little girls for Yu Tang, and said: "I reckon that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will be able to send you Brother and Miss Xiang's wedding date has been set, there must be a lot of guests at home during the Chinese New Year, you have to dress up nicely then."
At this time, it is also the time to let the wives of each family know Yu Tang, and it is also a good time to ask the wives of each family to help Yu Tang talk about marriage.
Yu Tang didn't think much about it, she had been thinking about Pei Yan for the past few days.
The man himself was so particular about his attire, yet he still had to put on a simple appearance, he was simply a sanctimonious fellow. He also likes girls who are well-dressed, which doesn't match his impression at all.
This person must have a lot of tricks in private.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and there is no news about the auction, and he still needs his help to decide who to cooperate with in the future, and to introduce a partner to his family. The Yu family must give him a New Year's gift that suits him no matter what.
If you can't buy it in Lin'an City, then let brother go to Hangzhou City.
And the Gu family.
Gu Xi has the best relationship with her brother Gu Chang, Li Duan's family broke up with the Li family, and she has to find out what the Gu family thinks about this matter.
Furthermore, it is necessary to find out why the clan of the Li family wants to separate from the Li Duan family. Might be useful in the future...
Thinking of it, Yu Tang felt a lot of things.
But now that she is no longer in danger of her life, her mood is no longer as urgent as before, and she feels that there is still hope for everything, so she doesn't think it is troublesome. After finishing the jewelry, she encourages Mrs. Chen to go to the antique shop: "Yes. Choose something for Mr. Pei San that can be used as a courtesy in the past."
Mrs. Chen touched her purse and said, "Why don't you and your father come for a stroll?"
Yu Tang laughed and said, "Isn't Mr. Pei San anything? Give him a new year's gift, and you have to spend a lot of time looking for it. He may not like things that can be easily bought with money. The most important thing is that they are interesting."
It was right for Mrs. Chen to think about it, and said: "Then tell your elder brother, when he is outside, he may meet something suitable."
Yu Tang nodded with a smile, and entered an antique shop not far away with Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen saw a brush washer in a lotus pond, and thought of the newly ordered jewelry just now, she couldn't help saying: "Didn't you like those simple and bright styles in the past? How do you choose flowers now?"
Yu Tang smiled and said, "Isn't it pretty?"
"It looks good." Chen looked at her daughter with a smile, and said sincerely, "Our daughter-in-law has bright eyes and bright teeth, so she looks good in those flowers. It's just that you were stubborn and troublesome in the past. Could it be that you have grown up now?"
no.
It was because she was afraid that Pei Yan would ask her to dress "properly" next time.
It's just that it's hard for her to tell her mother, so she smiled and pointed to a Ru kiln plum vase beside her and said, "Mum, look! Is it pretty?"
Chen said: "Of course it's beautiful. But this plum vase?"
Even if their family didn't set a wedding date for Yu Yuan, they couldn't afford it.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "I just let you see."
One day, she can buy whatever she wants.
Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Tang saw a bronze animal-shaped door knocker next to him, and he couldn't tell what kind of beast it was, but the appearance of the beast looked simple and rough, with a sense of heaviness.
She couldn't help smiling and said to the young man who accompanied her, "You still sell this in your shop?"
The young man was very familiar with the things in his shop, and said with a smile: "Miss, I don't know, this door knocker is very particular. Can you recognize what kind of beast it is? It's a Pixiu. You didn't think of it, did you? It’s magical.” Then, the boy took out the animal-shaped door knocker, and then pulled down the ring, and saw a small beast that was the same as the divine beast spit out from the mouth of the beast.
Both Yu Tang and Chen Shi felt a little interesting.
When the boy saw it, he pulled the newly spit out little beast ring again.
The little beast spit out another smaller little beast from its mouth.
"Interesting, interesting!" Yu Tang said, and when the boy stuffed the newly spat out little beast, she pulled it again.
Seeing that she was interested, the young man hurriedly introduced the history of this door knocker: "This is the gate beast in the secret room of the eldest princess of Jinyang in the former dynasty. It is in charge of property. It was originally a pair, and 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'll take it to shopkeeper Tong Da to have a look."
The boy shut up.
Yu Tang asked him, "How much is this door knocker?"
The boy hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ten taels of silver."
Yu Tang countered the price with him: "Go and ask the shopkeeper, can you sell it for two taels of silver?"
The little boy went to the shopkeeper with his face flushed, and the two taels of silver were sold.
Mrs. Chen didn't make a sound all this time, and only after she got out of the antique shop did she whisper: "You, are you going to give this to Mr. Pei San?"
"Yeah!" Yu Tang laughed, "Take it as a pathfinder. If he stays, we will know what to give in the future?"
The Chen family was noncommittal, and Yu Wen also found it interesting. After playing at home for a long time, he found a brocade box to pack, and planned to send it along with the New Year gift to the Pei family.
As for the Wei family, Miss Xiang will leave the cabinet in the spring of next year. Although in previous years, the old An of the Xiang family sent someone to pick him up. It is wrong to say that Miss Xiang is not coming out of the cabinet at the Xiang family. Well, if she doesn't go back to celebrate the New Year at this time, she will not live.
Mrs. Wei didn't dare to keep Miss Xiang anymore, and said to Mrs. Chen with a wry smile: "This child, after going back, he still doesn't know how to be tortured?"
Mrs. Chen comforted Mrs. Wei: "At most, it will be this Spring Festival, bear with it, and treat it as a calamity that the Bodhisattva asked her to overcome, and the future will be a good day."
Mrs. Wei shook her head, not wanting to talk to them about this, so she pulled Yu Tang to talk about the New Year's greetings: "I will come here with your mother on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and your sister-in-law will also come back by then, and I will let her accompany you to play horses. hanging."
Miss Xiang laughed straight, and said, "Auntie, looking at peach blossoms, eating fruits, and throwing pots, what's not fun? What kind of horse hanging?"
Everyone laughed.
Yu Tang liked Miss Xiang's straightforwardness very much, and suddenly felt that she was much closer.
After returning from Wei's house, she began to help her mother prepare for the annual ceremony, and Yu Bo also returned from Jiangxi at this time. He traveled all over the world, not to mention bringing a whole load of cargo, and even dug two lacquerware masters from Jiangxi. Settling up the master, rebuilding the workshop, displaying the goods, planning to reopen the people who need banquets, the lobby uncle is very busy, and the gift giving to the Xiang family and the Wei family is left to Chen.
Yu Tang also got busy.
Pei Yan is also a little busy.
But he is much more busy than Yu Tang. There are routines for everything in the family, and he only needs to make up his mind on things that go beyond the routine. In addition, everyone is going to celebrate the New Year, and Zhou Zijin has also gone back. More leisure, can do what you want to do.
He put his energy on the matter of auctioning the map.
When Yu's father and daughter left, they left the map with him. At first he wanted to try to copy one by himself, but later he found it too troublesome, and it would be quicker to draw one by himself, so he wrote a letter to Tao An, the senior brother whose family was in the sea business, and asked him to send someone to come to him. I copied the map here, and told Tao An that it was a nautical map from Guangzhou to Dashi.
Tao An didn't reply to him. After the Laba Festival, the chief manager of the Tao family and one of Tao An's staff members rushed to Lin'an City with two masters who could copy maps. They also came with two large boxes of gold.
"Our master said that the Pei family is also a family of poets and books. The third master is even more noble and clean. There are a few things, but it is a subsidy for me to live in Pei's house. Please don't take it to heart. "The chief manager of the Tao family was very humble, "Our master was afraid of delaying the matter of the third master, so as soon as he received the letter from the third master, he asked us to rush over from Guangzhou. If you have any requests, just take orders that is."
Pei Yan hissed in his heart.
His senior brother is known as "Meng Changjun" among his fellow students, and he is usually very generous, but for this reason... He twitched his lips. If it wasn't for helping the Yu family, he would pretend to be deaf and dumb as if he didn't know.
"Does your master have any other orders?" He said directly, "If not, you can help me copy the map after dinner!"
"Yes, yes." Manager Tao recalled that his master had told him in the letter that he must speak directly, and hurriedly said, "Our master also said that if it is convenient, can I let the two masters go back to you after the end?" Bring back?"
Masters who can copy usually have great risks.
Just like those masters who can fix acupoints and repair tombs, if they encounter secret things, they may not be able to go back.
The Tao family wants to take the two masters back, of course not just to save the lives of the two masters, but to ask Pei Yan if they can let the Tao family get a share of the pie!
