Chapter 48: A Better Life (36)
Zheng Yu is also quite helpless about Liu Manwen's attitude, after all, he has a request from others now, so he can only act as if he didn't see anything.
Zheng Yu wanted to use the wine table culture to talk about things, and he had been giving Zheng Ying a look during the period, and he could only hope for something that had been illusory since ancient times.
After eating, Liu Shijie left under the pretext of leaving in advance, and Liu Manwen's mother and daughter were left behind by Zheng Ying for a while with a surprise reason.
The tableware was cleaned up, and Liu Hongguo arranged for his subordinates to serve tea and melons and fruits, and then stood up to Liu Manwen, and the short silence was broken by Liu Yun's mouth.
"Virtuous nephew, this time it's not just a light meal, right? It's all a family, just say something directly, isn't this hidden and tucked outside? ”
It seems that Zheng Yu's frowning appearance during the banquet still did not escape Liu Yun's eyes.
Zheng Yu smiled embarrassedly and said: "Hehe, I still can't hide my uncle's sharp eyes, the little nephew does have something to do this time, but it's a little difficult to speak, let's let Ying'er say it." As soon as his voice fell, everyone looked at Zheng Ying.
Liu Yun and Su Xiaoman "chuckled" in their hearts, and glanced at each other, isn't Zheng Yu going to marry Zheng Ying? ? Come and ask Liu Yun to be a matchmaker? Wouldn't his daughter-in-law Liu Manwen have no chance at all? I was a little caught off guard, and I didn't know whether to say yes or stop it. I was hesitating when I heard Zheng Ying speak.
"Uncle, second aunt, this matter is mainly due to Ying'er's request to my sister Manwen, and it has little to do with my brother."
As soon as Liu Yun and Su Xiaoman heard this, their hanging hearts instantly fell back into their stomachs. After a false alarm, they glanced at each other again, their expressions were relaxed, and they even couldn't laugh or cry. Then I listened to Zheng Ying.
"The industrial operation of the villa has been fully on the right track, Uncle Yuanshan, and the third brother and the sixth brother, they are busy with the development of the villa every day, and their feet do not touch the ground, just I am an idler, and I have nothing to do every day. Yesterday, I heard my brother say that the villa is now in urgent need of a full-time accountkeeper, and it has to be his own family, so it can be reliable, so I thought that Sister Manwen is a master in this area, I hope that Sister Manwen can teach one or two, and I can contribute to the villa after I learn, for the sake of convenience, it is best for Sister Manwen to move to the villa for a period of time, of course, uncle and second aunt rest assured, my brother and I will definitely take care of Sister Manwen and will not let her have any mistakes. Please let the two elders do it. ”
After hearing this, Liu Yun laughed for a while, and Su Xiaoman also covered his mouth and chuckled, they wished that Liu Manwen could be with Zheng Yu every day.
After laughing, Liu Yun also teased Zheng Ying, "I have grown up, I am sensible, and I know how to share things for the family, which is good." Zheng Ying made a big red face. After ridiculing, he continued: "I have no opinion on this matter, and I can't be the master of your Manwen sister, and your second aunt is the same, you have to ask her if she wants to, and we can't stop her if she wants to, hahaha" After speaking, there was a burst of laughter. Su Xiaoman also nodded in agreement.
After hearing this, Zheng Ying immediately stared at Liu Manwen and waited for her answer, Liu Manwen was a little hesitant at this time, there is no problem with handing over Zheng Ying's accounting, and there is no problem with moving in, the key is that it is a little uncomfortable to live in front of Zheng Yuyan every day, and it is annoying to see him, but he can't just use this reason to refuse, otherwise he will be scolded.
Zheng Ying saw that Liu Manwen didn't speak, and she didn't know what she was thinking
, immediately said: "Sister, my brother recently got another good thing, I thought my sister must like it, so I brought it with me, and gave it to my sister as a "tuition", hehehehe"
When Liu Manwen heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "Silly sister, this is unacceptable, we are a family, what tuition do we have to pay if we learn some small skills in bookkeeping?" This is really too outward, my sister has just never been away from home for a long time, and if she wants to move in, I'm afraid I'm a little uncomfortable, and I'm thinking about how to deal with it. ”
Zheng Ying continued to smile and said: "This is not my personal meaning, the tuition fee is just a joke, in fact, it is to make amends to you for my brother and make up for the mistake of not giving you a gift next time." Yes, brother! ”
Zheng Yu didn't expect this girl to pull herself in again, and she found such a lame reason to embarrass herself, forget it, she is under the eaves, admit it. hurriedly nodded in response, and symbolically got up and bowed his head to Liu Manwen to apologize. After doing this, he directly motioned to Liu Bao, who was waiting beside him, to ask a few servants of the Liu family to go and move things in.
While speaking, Liu Bao and the others walked in carrying two rectangular objects wrapped in cloth, which were two meters high and one meter five wide, and there was a wooden base on the small surface, and everyone was wondering what this thing was? ? Screen?? Framed ancient paintings? I couldn't figure it out for a while.
The servants put down their things and left, while Liu Bao was now waiting for Zheng Yu's order to uncover the shroud. At this time, Zheng Yu said to Liu Yun: "Uncle, this is the secret recipe of the silver mirror that I bought through that friend, this is the first batch, take it to give my second aunt and sister Manwen to make up for the lack of consideration last time, please take a look at it" After speaking, he waved his hand at Liu Baoyi.
Liu Bao saw the gesture, stepped forward to untie the rope, and the cloth wrapped in the silver mirror fell off on its own, revealing the true face of the mirror inside, at this time, there happened to be a ray of sunlight shining on one of the mirrors, hitting the other mirror through reflection, and finally refracted on the white wall in the room, and the whole room suddenly brightened a lot.
The moment the mirror was fully revealed, Liu Yun's hand shook violently, and he stood up from the chair with a "rub", staring at the huge silver mirror in front of him, his face flushed, and he couldn't say a word.
The other three people present except Zheng Ying were already in the sky, stunned!
Jiang was still old and spicy, Liu Yun was the first to recover from the shock, walked to the mirror in a few steps, and turned back and forth several times before he said seriously: "Yu'er, can outsiders see this thing when it comes?" Zheng Yu shook his head and said no.
Liu Yun continued: "This kind of treasure is not something that ordinary people like us can have, and there is only one person in the world who is qualified to have it, and that is the current saint." As he spoke, he arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city as a sign of respect.
Su Xiaoman also thinks so, but Liu Manwen is different, how can the little girl's family resist this temptation, after listening to her father's words, she panicked, thinking that this is something Zheng Yu gave herself, and her father doesn't want to take it to the emperor, right? How is this good, I also want it very much, a person-high silver mirror, my whole person is clearly visible, this kind of thing is a girl can't refuse. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, but there was nothing I could do.
Zheng Yu had already noticed Liu Manwen's expression, so he smiled and said: "Uncle is too worried, one of these two mirrors is used by the family, I am your own nephew, the Liu family is my family, and the things I made myself are put at home for my own use. As for the other side, it is for your uncle, and it has nothing to do with your nephew whether you give it away or do something else. But don't mention it in front of outsiders, this thing is time-consuming and laborious, extremely difficult to manufacture, and the yield is low, so as not to cause trouble in the ears of those who are interested. The little nephew has already been summoned by the eldest princess, so he doesn't want to use this as a way to ascend."
After hearing this, Liu Yun was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You kid, you're getting more and more sophisticated!" Zheng Yu was also amused by this sentence.
Liu Yun looked at Liu Manwen again and said, "Wen'er, what do you mean?"
Liu Manwen saw that Zheng Yu stopped his father's attempt to give away the mirror, and he was happy and a little grateful, so he stepped forward and looked at the mirror, nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the piece in front of him and said to Liu Bao: "Cover it, wrap it up and send it to my mother's room in a while." Liu Bao nodded and began to cover the mirror.
Then he turned around and said a blessing to Zheng Yu, and said: "Thank you brother Shi for the gift, I will go to the villa tomorrow to live temporarily and teach her the method of bookkeeping, but I have been away from home for too long to return home, so I can only stay for a month at most." Brother Haihan! "
Yes, such a valuable gift is exchanged for a month, this girl is still not very interested in herself, what is the reason? When you have a chance in the future, you must figure it out, it's really awkward to be disliked in this muddle. But that's the only way to do it now. The main thing is that she doesn't have time, otherwise she can teach herself, now as long as she teaches Ying'er the basics, she will be able to teach her the advanced double-entry accounting method when she has time in the future, and then she will not need Liu Manwen. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "That's very good, Zheng Yu thanks Sister Manwen again!"
Liu Manwen retired, Zheng Yu accompanied Su Xiaoman and Liu Yun to talk for a while and then said goodbye and went home, and when the goal was achieved, everyone was happy.
