Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gift, the Mother's Bequest
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Gifts, Mother's Bereavement
Wang Yu is also a person with feelings, he traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally he didn't want to appreciate any hardwood chairs that didn't even have ergonomics, solid wood stools that were as hard as bricks, and a square table without any shape, but he still had to be named the Eight Immortals;
What Wang Yu wants to see more is the furniture utensils full of the beauty of Chinese classical rhythm, and the spacious and bright Han Family Ming Hall.
The Ming Hall mentioned here is naturally not the "Temple of the Son of Heaven", but a bright and sunny main hall and elegant room.
Wang Yu extremely hated the poor lighting because of the short house, even though such a poor room was the mainstream choice of many ordinary people in the Great Song Dynasty.
This is also a reason why Wang Yu can't stay in love with the Xiao family, regardless of the attitude of the children of the Xiao family, in the Xiao family, the house where Wang Yu lives is good, exquisite, elegant, luxurious, purely from the hardware, even much better than Wang Yu's old house.
It's just that the Xiao family's mansion can't be compared with the building in front of them.
Zhen Honglian, the main hall of Beppu, even at dusk, still gave Wang Yuru the feeling of sitting in the Ming Hall.
The spacious, bright hall is covered with fine teak-colored wooden floors, and the setting sun reflects a soft halo.
The wooden floor not only looks good, but it is also elastic when stepped on with footwear, and the squeaking sound is not heard at all, giving people a thick and solid feeling.
Wang Yu knew that this was done under the wooden floor, including the flat slate countertop, as well as the hidden ground dragon skeleton below, all polished to the extreme, the layers of paving were tightly seamed, there was no bulge, there was no depression to produce the effect, not to mention the material, just this process, it was much more valuable than the Persian carpet laid by the Xiao family.
Seeing that Wang Yu knew the goods, Zhen Honglian suddenly showed a smile on her face.
The pearl needs to meet people who know the goods to show its value, otherwise how is it different from rubble?
However, Wang Yu's performance made Zhen Honglian's other party not only a person who knows the goods, but also a bosom friend!
Of course, in the current Song Dynasty, some people, when laying the floor, will deliberately make some noise, in the name of this anti-theft, in fact, the craftsman has limited skills, or the owner has limited money and does not want to keep improving. Laying the floor like the Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty, the family can play.
As for anti-theft, Zhen Honglian's main hall is even more unnecessary, as long as the master looks out, he can see the movement outside at a glance, not to mention that there are so many servants and guards.
Wang Yu, Shangguan Yunling, and Zhen Honglian came to the desk carved and polished with half a square tree stump, knelt on the ground and sat on the soft cushion, and a beautiful maid had already placed a full set of tea art supplies.
Zhen Honglian cooked tea with her hands, the water vapor on the table was steam and miao, the tea rhyme emitted by the cooking tea spread, smelling the fragrant fragrance, and the whole person was inexplicably quiet.
Kneeling is naturally not as comfortable as the zero-gravity ergonomic chairs and sofas of later generations, but in some occasions, it is more solemn and can highlight one's own self-cultivation.
Just like Shangguan Yunling and Zhen Honglian, after kneeling and sitting down, the skirt is naturally hemped, but the waist is straight, and between the chest and abdomen, there is less laziness in sitting on the chair, but it reveals the dignified beauty of women, with the clear and elegant posture of the two women, it has more of the charm of everyone's lady.
It's just that Wang Yu is not used to kneeling for a long time, that posture is too restrained, Wang Yu knelt for a while, and then he was very casually replaced with sitting cross-legged, and it was also double-crossed, like a monk sitting in meditation, in fact, he was lazy and relaxed.
Zhen Honglian looked at Wang Yu's relaxed and wishful zazen, and her beautiful eyes showed joy, which ordinary people can't do.
Zhen Honglian said: "Brother Yunyi's body seems to be in good shape, and the Eight Treasures Health Soup is really effective. ”
Wang Yu was even more surprised when he heard this, Zhen Honglian had investigated herself, otherwise how could she even know what medicine she had drunk? Miao
Zhen Honglian didn't explain, just clapped her hands, and a team of maids walked out after taking photos of the wall, and presented Zhen Honglian and Shangguan Yunling with a cup of goat milk that had been boiled three times, but what was given to Wang Yu was a bowl of extremely familiar medicinal soup......
I...... day
No wonder I think there is a demonic spirit in the house!
Looking at the bowl of decoction, Wang Yu's face changed, and yellow lotus was deliberately added to the already untasteful herbs, and this thing can be drunk in one gulp, but it can be bitter to the bone.
Zhen Honglian looked at Wang Yu's face changed greatly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she leaned forward, took the Eight Treasures Health Soup in front of Wang Yu, drank it all in one go, and after putting down the medicine bowl, her face was still the same as before, with a faint smile, and there was no bitterness at all.
Wang Yu was dumbfounded, and said sincerely: "Admire, admire, Sister Zhen is really a real hero, a real warrior, and dares to face the bitter ...... of life."
"Brother Yunyi, you have only drunk this soup for three years, but the concubine has been drinking it for eight years."
Zhen Honglian put down the porcelain bowl as thin as white paper, and said with a hint of bitterness in her laughter: "It's bitter, but it's used to it!" ”
"What?"
Wang Yu was surprised, this decoction was specially configured for Wang Yu by Wang Yu's mother, and it was said to be to treat Wang Yu's congenital deficiency.
Zhen Honglian elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a brocade hand, turned around and took a brocade box from the maid's hand, and solemnly handed it to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu took the box and opened it, and inside the box was the title deed, house deed, and body deed.
Among them, there are two house deeds and land deeds, Wang Yu took a closer look, and the name on the contract that was a little old turned out to be Wang Yu's mother Xu Qingfei, but the owner who had just transferred the title yesterday was Wang Yu.
The two sets of contracts indicate that the thousands of acres of land on Taohuazhou, the peach orchards and bamboo forests on the land, and the property rights of this mansion with an area of eight acres and more than 40 pavilions and houses were inherited by Wang Yu from his deceased mother Xu Qingfei.
The body deed is a slave contract, with a total of 12 maids, 4 rough servants, and 8 male servants.
Wang Yu looked at Zhen Honglian at eye level, playing with taste: "Sister Honglian, how did I not know that Jiaci still has such a rich family background?" ”
Wang Yu naturally noticed that the new house deed and title deed were only handled in Jinling Mansion yesterday, and he did not intentionally write the time in advance, according to the newness of the ink and ink, Wang Yu's analysis should be at noon yesterday, at that time, Wang Yu had not yet participated in the Tangchuan Poetry Club, and had not yet met Zhen Honglian.
A pair of eyes in the bamboo curtain suddenly appeared in Wang Yu's mind, Wang Yu looked at Zhen Honglian, and found that Zhen Honglian should be the one who watched him send the beggar mother and daughter all the way back to the old mansion in the carriage yesterday.
The other party should have gone through the transfer procedures after that.
Although the analysis is thorough, Wang Yu will not say it.
The corners of Wang Yu's mouth smiled faintly, and he looked at Zhen Honglian playing with the taste: "According to the time of the title deed and the house deed, Jiaci got the property here eight years ago, and I can watch the elegant house here, and the construction time will not exceed three years at most......"
That's it, and the rest naturally needs Zhen Honglian to answer. In fact, Wang Yu was also maliciously guessing Zhen Honglian's purpose in his heart.
"Could it be that the family is so particular about gifts? First get a property right to hang in the name of your deceased mother, and then go to the yamen to change the property rights, so that you can launder the assets, let yourself inherit with peace of mind, and can't find an excuse to refuse, but you know the kindness of the giver?"
This is Wang Yu's guess from the aspect of human nature, if it is true, Wang Yu will also admire the means of the eldest lady of the Zhen family to give gifts.
