Chapter 17 Seeking relatives in the party
Listening to Uncle Clan's question, Yu'er's face flushed slightly, he had discussed with Su Qingcheng on the way before he came, the cause of his grandfather's death could not be clearly stated, although they were relatives, but there was not too much movement between each other, the government would definitely investigate the matter in the small village, she could only secretly tell the eldest brother to know; The second is Su Qingcheng's identity, although the defense of men and women in the late Han Dynasty is by no means as serious as after the Song Dynasty, but it is unreasonable for the two to walk together for a hundred miles after all, they can still be said to be a pair of brothers and sisters to others, but in front of their own clan, they can only be said to be the grandfather who chose for themselves, the little girl is bold to say this, Su Qingcheng can be regarded as a tacit, in his opinion, he should ensure Yu'er's safety, since he brought her back to the mountains and forests that day, he must take care of her, although it is a matter of discussion, But when Uncle Clan asked about Yu'er, he couldn't help but be a little shy.
"He, he is the eldest brother of the neighboring village, and he was given by his grandfather." While Yu'er spoke, she didn't forget to sneak a glance at Su Qingcheng, and when she saw him smiling, she was very useful.
"Oh, I see, it's all family, come into the house and talk." Zhang Yun saw Yu'er's shy look, and also understood what was going on, this young man was born a talent, it seems that his family background is not bad, otherwise he can't afford to use the carriage, he smiled at Su Qingchen at the moment, stretched out his hand and motioned for the two to enter the house, it seems that he is still quite polite to the niece in this clan.
"Uncle Wan'an, this is a little bit of Langsheng's care, and I hope to smile." Su Qingcheng also responded with a smile, and after unloading the carriage, he stepped forward to greet Zhang Yun, Yu'er was the first time to go to the uncle's house, and his brother was taken care of by others here, so it would be too rude to come to the door empty-handed, Su Qingcheng couldn't prepare other gifts, how many animal skins and other things were needed, and he had prepared one before.
"Hehe, Lang Xian's nephew, you are too polite, please." The animal skins that Su Qingcheng brought were very valuable, Zhang Yun could naturally see it, and he was quite satisfied when he saw that Lang Sheng was polite.
When the party arrived at the inner hall, Su Qingcheng looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall, thinking that this Zhang Yun should also be a scholarly home, and arranged for the two to sit down, Zhang Yun went to the inner room, and after a while, he walked out with a young woman, this woman was dressed in a hairpin skirt, and she was quite delicate, Zhang Yun's wife died early, and there was nothing to do, this woman is his wife Yang, and now the family is visiting, should come out to meet, after the two of them saw the ceremony, Yang also served tea for them.
"Yu'er, when your brother came back last year, Uncle Shang Yan was very mentally strong, what..." After taking a seat, Zhang Yun first asked, he was quite familiar with Yu'er's grandfather, and Zhang Hu often mentioned it.
"Hey~ The old man was in good health, but he was bedridden when he felt cold that day, and he asked a few Lang Zhong for diagnosis and treatment, but it didn't get better, this time, I was going to ask Brother Yu'er to go back, after all, he was the grandson of Zhang's family." As soon as she mentioned the old man, Yu'er's eyes were red again, Su Qingcheng took over the conversation, and Yu'er nodded again and again when she heard the words, and seeing her eldest brother was the purpose of her trip.
"What the virtuous nephew said is that the old man is old, and it is unpredictable, Yu'er, you don't have to be too sad, what does it take to do it Uncle just ask, but your eldest brother is not in Shangdang City now, and he went to Yanmen with his friends to visit the teacher a month ago." Zhang Yun comforted Yu'er with words, and also told Zhang Hu's whereabouts, and his attitude was very kind.
Yu'er was very disappointed when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do for a while, so she looked at Su Qingcheng, and now her attachment to Brother Lang is increasing day by day, and she has long regarded him as her own support.
"That being the case, I still ask my uncle to tell my eldest brother where he went to Yanmen, and I must know about it with him, so that the little nephew will take Yu'er on another trip." Looking at Yu'er's eyes asking for help, Su Qingcheng smiled at Zhang Yun, Yu'er heard that he was willing to run around for himself again, and called himself brother as the eldest brother, and her heart was also quite happy, when this time of separation, Gan Ning gave Su Qingcheng four ingots of gold, which is enough for them to buy a house in the city according to the current price, and there is no shortage of entanglements.
"Virtuous nephews don't have to be like this, Hu'er went to Yanmen this time to go with the son of Lord Li, and said that he would return in two months, and now the year is not peaceful, there are many bandits along the way, you might as well stay in my place for a while, and it is not too late to go back together when Hu'er returns." Zhang Yun said.
"Wouldn't that be too annoying to my uncle, let's go back first, and come back in a month." Su Qingcheng saw that what Zhang Yun said was quite sincere, and it should be true, if he was alone, he was just not afraid of thieves and bandits, but he couldn't do it with Yu'er, so he said at the moment.
"Where did the virtuous nephew say, my uncle is kind to me, since he promised Yu'er to you, we are a family, what does it have to do with you and Yu'er living here for a while, I think you and Yu'er have not yet become a gift, but it is inconvenient to go back and forth." Yu'er's head is still dressed as a girl, thinking that the two have not yet married, her uncle went, Yu'er was alone, Lang Sheng sent her here to find her brother Shang Kequ, but now he already knows that it is not in line with the etiquette to let them go back together, Zhang Yun is a scholarly family, but he takes this etiquette very seriously, and Yu'er's grandfather has helped him before, and now his niece comes to the door, and he can't let him turn around without hospitality.
"Uncle is reasonable, and the little nephew will let the arrangement go." Yu'er heard that this arrangement was quite good, although he missed the eldest brother, but after listening to his uncle's words, he didn't dare to let Su Qingcheng take risks, of course, she still cast her eyes on Brother Lang, Su Qingcheng felt that Zhang Yun was quite sincere, and he also wanted to take a good look at the city at the end of the Han Dynasty and get familiar with the ancient life, so he also agreed, he originally wanted to say that everything should be borne by himself, but he was afraid that Zhang Yun would not like it, so he gave up.
"Hehe, this is the right reason, I will ask your aunt to prepare it immediately, Lang Xian, I should invite you to have a few drinks tonight, so that I can thank you for treating my uncle." Zhang Yun saw that Su Qingcheng readily agreed, he looked very happy, and said with a smile on his face at the moment.
"The little nephew is within his own affairs, and he doesn't dare to be the elder's thanks." Su Qingcheng bowed his hand and said.
"Good, good, uncle's vision is not bad, and it is also Yu'er's blessing, you can sit down for the time being, and I'll clean up the room." Zhang Yun had a very good impression of Su Qingcheng's politeness, and after saying a few good words, he went into the back room to make arrangements, Yu'er was even more ashamed and happy when she heard the words, she was so ashamed that it was her uncle's words, and she was so happy that her own parents seemed to be very satisfied with Brother Lang.
That night, Zhang Yun was also entertained at home, and made a lot of wine and food, Su Qingcheng was also the first time to eat a formal family banquet in the late Han Dynasty, these wine and dishes were mostly roasted and boiled, and he was very satisfied with the taste, but he was not used to the rules of kneeling and eating, in his opinion, this was not conducive to digestion at all, and his legs were quite sore after a meal, but he could only follow the local customs. During the banquet, Zhang Yun asked very enthusiastically about Su Qingcheng's family, he could only say that he was a hunter in a neighboring village, and there was only one person in the family, because of his excellent archery skills, his family background was acceptable.
Since the little couple has not yet been officially ceremonial, Zhang Yun naturally arranged two side rooms for them, Yu'er's one originally put some sundries and temporarily cleaned them up, and Su Qingcheng could live in the wing room where Zhang Hu lived. In fact, Yu'er has long been used to sleeping with Brother Lang during this time, and once separated, she is very unaccustomed to it, but this is her uncle's arrangement, and she is not easy to speak.
In the mountains and forests for a year, now there is finally a kang to sleep on, and there is no need to force yourself to restrain your desires, this night Su Qingcheng slept quite sweetly, although he woke up early in the morning the next day, but he was in someone else's house, but it was not good to make a time, until Zhang Yun came to invite him to come out of the house, after a little washing and breakfast, he said that he wanted to take Yu'er to the city to have a look, and by the way to buy some daily things, Zhang Yun said in his heart that this was also right, but it was inconvenient for him to go to school to accept apprentices, so he pointed him to a few places and let the two go, It is necessary to turn around before sunset.
Last night, Yu'er didn't fall asleep until she was sleepy in the middle of the night, and she was happy to be able to go out with Brother Lang today, and she talked happily with Su Qingcheng along the way, both of them were the first time to come back to a larger city like Shangdang, and everything was very fresh in the eyes, especially Su Qingcheng, in this life, he can be regarded as an out-and-out dirt bun.
Shangdang is located in the north of the Han Dynasty, at that time it was also a large city, there are many large clans, the business market is quite developed, in addition to the special square market, the largest street also has a lot of merchants, the goods are also quite rich, Jiangling's mausoleum embroidery, Yizhou's Shu brocade can be seen here, the pedestrians on the road can also be called bustling, in addition to serving, this environment is very similar to several ancient towns that Su Qingcheng has traveled in later generations, but the air is much fresher.
For these commodities of the Han Dynasty, Su Qingcheng is most interested in those jade, there is a period of collection in later generations is the hottest topic, he has also participated in it, the most interested is Hanyu, he has a friend's father is the authority of the Chinese jade identification industry, and also taught him a lot of jade plate jade to recognize the method of jade, but unfortunately he bought a lot of money to carry the ancient jade with him for four years with his own crossing also does not know where it is, now since he came to the real source of Han jade, he must choose well, It is also a way to leave some attachment to the era in which he came.
Jade is also quite valuable at this time, only those big clans buy it, at first the guy looked at Su Qingcheng's outfit very unimpressed, it can be seen that he looked at the jade a little differently, this guest selected are the best in the store, no family background will not have such a vision, so it is also very polite and enthusiastic.
After choosing for a long time, Su Qingcheng was quite disappointed, at least he couldn't find a piece of jade in this store that could be compared with his previous one, but one of the pairs of jade was exquisitely handmade, so he wanted to buy one for each of the jades, which also made the little girl worthy of her name.
Here is optimistic and was about to ask the price, suddenly heard the noise outside, pedestrians on the street rushed one after another, and there was a faint sound of horses neighing, Su Qingcheng and Yu'er couldn't help but come to the door curiously to watch.
