Since the interception incident, Tian Youwei no longer dared to act alone.

Although she felt that with her skills, as long as she didn't move at night and didn't go to remote places, it shouldn't be a big deal, but experience taught her that never underestimate the lower limit and viciousness of bad guys.

The mind must be despised and tactics must be taken seriously.

So she wrote a letter to Yuyao and asked Master Bai and Xiao Yang to come to Lin'an for the New Year.

It was not far from Yuyao to Lin'an, and the master and apprentice quickly came over and lived in the Tian family's house.

With a large population, it is inevitable that they will not be busy, so with the help of the neighbor's aunt, Xie carefully selected and bought two rough mothers-in-law, and added a little maid to himself and Liao Shu.

As a result, the small house was crowded, and it was lively every day.

Master Bai still looks indifferent, he plays chess with Mr. Liao every day, instructs Tian Youwei and others on their kung fu, and by the way, pulls Xiao Qiubao to stand on the pile to lay the foundation.

The happiest person is the little lamb, his father died last year, no one abused him anymore, he was with Master Bai all day long, he lived very easily, and now he came to Beijing, got a few new clothes, and every day there was meat and white noodles, and he couldn't wait to offer Tian Youwei.

Tian Youwei didn't want him to provide for her, she just wanted him to be her bodyguard.

Shao Jing managed to buy two good horses before, and kept them in the stable, and the porter Lao Yue raised them to be smooth and smooth, obedient and obedient.

At this time, Tian Youwei took the horse out, learned to ride every day, and then asked the lamb to follow suit, and changed to walking to riding a horse, so that it would be convenient to escape if something happened.

In the near future, everyone has a lot of things, and there are even more ceremonies and events involved in the DPRK and China. Whether it was Xiaoyang or Ah Jiu, they never showed up again, and no one came to trouble Tian Youwei.

Later, she went to Zhang Wuniang's place several times, all to observe the treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, and each time she had different insights and gains.

Zhang Wuniang framed her painting and hung it out, which received a lot of praise, and some people even asked her to paint it through Zhang Wuniang.

Tian Youwei did not make a big deal about it, occasionally she was in a good mood and painted when she was free, and every time she painted, she must create carefully, and she would never be perfunctory and ruin her reputation.

In addition, except for Zhang Wuniang and other people who are particularly close, anyone who asks for painting must be given a brush, and the asking price is not low.

Zhang Wuniang laughed at her: "Don't be afraid that people will say that you are cheesy and full of copper smell, are you not afraid at all?" ”

Tian Youwei didn't care: "What am I afraid of?" How can you live without money? The silk and satin I wear, the paper and ink paints I use, and the porcelain I burn to support the potters, don't they cost money? I still have a large group of people in my house waiting to be fed. ”

When Zhang Wuniang heard her say this, she felt that she was real and unpretentious, and when she met the kind of person who wanted to ask for calligraphy and painting without giving money, she even took the initiative to help her explain her words.

In this way, Tian Youwei has a lot less trouble, everyone knows the rules, and if she is unwilling to give money and wait, she will be exempted from respect, but it is not easy to offend people.

I don't know if it's because the appearance of the insect is too fierce and scary, or because the lamb has played a role, Tian Youwei hasn't encountered any trouble since then, and it's smooth.

Nearly a year later, Shao Jing also sent a letter, saying that the money was almost raised, he went from Mingzhou to Yuyao, and then returned to Mingzhou, and at the same time he also temporarily mortgaged the big house in Mingzhou, and waited until the shop returned the money and then redeemed it.

With the help of Wu Qiye, Zou Sanye, Zhao Supervisor and others, he is optimistic about the ship, and is currently recruiting manpower and stocking goods.

Recruiting people and stocking up is a big project, and it can't be done well for a while, because Shao Jing is running around every day and is very busy.

He also told Tian Youwei that he had received strong support from the merchants led by Song Ruhai for this fundraising, and many of them were willing to lend him money without mortgage.

The main reason is that he did a good job in mixing Tulo, so he has established a strong reputation, plus he is proficient in a variety of Fanbang dialects, and he also knows the customs and taboos of others, and his daily dealings are genuinely considerate of others, and he sincerely respects others, and the merchants get along well with him and like him.

Shao Jing was a little proud, saying that although he had been a child for many years, he had not lost his previous skills, and asked Tian Youwei to praise him.

Tian Youwei must have praised him fiercely when she replied, but also reminded him not to forget about the polo game because he was busy, and it was best to take time to practice every day, which can not only strengthen the body, but also strengthen his skills and prepare for the game.

She didn't dare to tell Father Tian all these things, she only picked out the unimportant ones, and quietly told Mr. Liao the rest of the details.

Mr. Liao also felt that there was no need to tell Father Tian everything, after the matter of only entering Yue porcelain was told by Xiao Yang, Father Tian didn't mention it again, but he always felt that the younger generation was unstable, and he had to help take the helm, so he always wanted to interfere.

Shao Jing didn't rush back until the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, and brought suitable gifts to his family, Tian's father scolded him for wasting money, but he was actually very happy in his heart, and then asked about business, Shao Jing also answered well.

On New Year's Day, everyone wore new clothes and drank Tusu wine, and went to Wu You's aunt Qian's house to pay New Year's greetings, while Zhang Wuniang's family only sent New Year's greetings and New Year's gifts.

Because they knew that Xiao Yang had a big court meeting on the day of the day, and he would stay in the palace all day long, and he would not be free, Tian Youwei and Shao Jing personally came to the door to leave the New Year's ceremony.

The next day, Wu You and others returned to worship, and Xiao Yang and Zhang Wuniang sent New Year's greeting posts and New Year's gifts.

Shao Jing took advantage of the gap and asked the group of polo teammates to practice for two games, and then it was time to gamble with Sun Yunqi.

On the third day of the first lunar month, the Tian family got up early in the morning.

Tian Youwei specially made dumplings for Shao Jing, and carefully took care of his robe without a trace of wrinkles, and also helped him braid his hair and then twist it into a bun, which was fixed with a gauze hat to prevent his hair from falling out and affecting the game.

As for the boots, she held the pair of brocade boots sent by the lamb, and was not sure whether to persuade Shao Jing to wear them.

Shao Jing took the pair of boots and put them away, and comforted her: "Didn't you say before that you wouldn't wear them?" Even if Sun Yunqi and others will have scruples when they see me wearing these boots, they will also make people look down on me. And Ah Jiu, you don't know what he wants to do, for the sake of prudence, it's better not to wear these boots. ”

Tian Youwei was unsettled, and quietly wrapped her boots again, what if she could use them? It's always good to be more prepared.

The family went out in a big way, and the streets were very lively, selling everything.

The imperial court usually strictly prohibits gambling money, but these days it is banned, and many noble ladies wear hats to stand on the side of the road to watch Guan Pu gamble, and even participate in person.

Tian Youwei calculated that Shao Jing, Sun Yunqi and others would inevitably have to gamble money in this polo match, so she quietly asked Shao Jing: "Is Third Master Zou here?" ”
