Chapter 106: True and False
Thoughts together, like weeds growing wildly.
But this is not the time to talk about that.
Yu Tang took this matter to heart, turned his head and took the painting and asked Wang: "Is it put away or framed and hung up?" ”
People at home come and go, and some good things will be put away, and they will be given away when they are special. Especially the paintings like Zhang Hui's paintings, not only have literary names, but they are also really good, and it is the most decent gift to send to those who know the goods.
Perhaps also with this in mind, Zhang Hui only inscribed a congratulatory message on the painting with grapes, and the other three were only stamped with private seals.
Wang couldn't put it down, and said, "I asked the master to frame it and hang it in your brother's study." According to Mrs. Wei, Miss Xiang once studied in a private school for ten years. ”
Hanging these paintings will add a lot of color to the Yu family.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and ordered not to say anything.
After the second dragon raised his head in early February, the Xiang family sent someone to see the new house.
The woman's furniture has been laid a long time ago, and this time I came to see the new house, saying to see if there were any additions or subtractions, in fact, with a little sense of supervision, to see if the Yu family had arranged a new house for the newcomer as promised through the matchmaker and the Xiangjia before.
Yu Bo only has this one son, and the couple are people who value their children, not only repainted the three east wings according to the previous promise, but also built a flower wall in the east wing, the main room, and the west wing, and planted plants such as vines, making the east wing a small courtyard, and built a two-room regression behind the east wing, which can be used as a storehouse for the Xiang family, and can also be used as a bedroom for the maids to rest.
In order to satisfy the people of the Xiang family, Wang also specially took the people of the Xiang family to see the north room of the east wing and made it into a study.
The north side of the two clear glasses is brightly lit, the black-lacquered pillars are tall and solemn, and the paintings hanging on the walls are delicate and exquisite.
The woman who came from the Xiang family is said to be Mrs. Xiang's personal mother-in-law, brought by Mrs. Xiang from the Shen family, and it is estimated that she also has some vision, and the small courtyard of the flower wall did not let her show her obvious preferences, but she was very moved when she saw Zhang Hui's four paintings, and stood there and watched for a long time, and then said to Wang with a sincere smile: "The wife of the in-laws has worked hard." No wonder Mrs. Gu was full of praise when she mentioned her in-laws, this marriage was really decently prepared. ”
The truth is the same.
Since the Xiang family can be satisfied with these paintings, they must be very satisfied with Yu Tang's previous idea and the idea of inviting all the scholars in Lin'an City to his home as guests.
While Wang breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but start praising Yu Tang: "It's all arranged by our nephew." You know, my second uncle is a scholar, this niece has been studying with her father since she was a child, and her vision is not an ordinary boudoir woman, and I also rely on her brother a lot for her marriage. ”
The Xiang family touched the Yu family when Mrs. Wei was a matchmaker for Miss Xiang.
If it weren't for the fact that the Yu family had a simple population and a good reputation, Master Xiang would no longer care about his daughter, and it would be impossible for him to agree to this family business.
The people from the Xiang family naturally followed Wang's words and praised Yu Tang again and again.
Wang smiled happily, feeling that the people of the Xiang family were not as difficult to contact as she thought before, but she showed some sincerity and left the people of the Xiang family to eat.
Kindness is mutual.
When the people of the Xiang family saw Wang's sincerity, their hanging hearts also fell to the ground, and they treated Wang sincerely. The people of the two families had a meal in harmony. When the mother-in-law returned to the Xiang family, she couldn't help but praise the Yu family in front of Mrs. Xiang, and Mrs. Xiang joked with a smile: "I don't know what benefits the Yu family gave you, I just bought you on a trip." If you go a few more times, I think your heart will go to the armpits. ”
The woman's face turned red.
Mrs. Xiang didn't take it to heart, waved her hand and said, "Okay, you don't need to say more." She can find a good family to live in peace, don't make trouble for her brother in the future, how can I make a fuss, Lao Anren can't help but be overly thoughtful. ”
The mother-in-law did not dare to answer.
The Yu family seemed to have completed a major event, and they got together for dinner in the evening, and the Wang family also talked quickly about the arrival of the Xiang family today.
Yu Bo felt that he really bowed his head and married his daughter-in-law this time, if it weren't for Mrs. Wei's shrewdness and ability, the girl he taught wouldn't be bad, and his son really liked it, he wouldn't be angry. But he couldn't listen to Wang's praise of his family. He pushed Wang's favorite broad beans in front of her, and said, "You just don't say a word, eat quickly, the weather is cold, and the dishes are cold." ”
Wang stopped the topic in amazement.
Yu Wen, who hadn't spoken much, said to Yu Tang and Yu Yuan: "You two will follow me to Pei's house tomorrow, and Manager Pei will send someone to deliver a letter in the afternoon, saying that Master Pei San has something to ask us to come over and talk." ”
It should be a matter of the map, right?
Yu Tang thought about it, and nodded with Yu Yuan again and again. Early the next morning, I followed Yuwen to Pei's mansion.
The Pei family seems to have fallen into the mortal immortal cave mansion, just after this cold winter, their family's trees are still growing very luxuriantly, they walked along the bluestone road they came in last time, and they felt like the last time they came, there was no change.
In the past, Yu Tang didn't understand, but Rebirth I knew that it didn't cost much manpower and material resources to maintain the four seasons all year round.
She thought of the Pei family's shop in Hangzhou again.
The Pei family should be richer than they thought, right?
Yu Tang thought about it, and followed his father and brother to Pei Yan's study where he saw them last time.
There was only one boy guarding the study, and there was no one around.
When the boy saw someone come in, he stepped forward and saluted.
Yu Tang recognized that this little boy was the boy he had seen in Zhaoming Temple and the Yu family's old house, and suddenly had a kind of excitement about meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country, the little boy had a straight face, and when she served them tea seriously, she couldn't help but whisper to the little boy: "Do you remember me?" I remember your name was Ah Ming, was that your name? ”
The little boy nodded solemnly like a little adult, but showed a festive smile to Yu Tang between the steward who led them in and Yu Wen talking, pointed to the refreshments in her hand, and whispered: "Fennel beans, it's fragrant!" ”
This little clever ghost!
Yu Tang's heart was budding by him, and seeing that her father was still talking to the steward, he asked him quietly: "What is the third master doing?" ”
The little boy named Ah Ming's lips immediately pursed into a slit and shook his head vigorously.
If it weren't for the steward of the Pei family here, Yu Tang would have laughed out loud.
Of course, she didn't embarrass Ah Ming, touched his head, and didn't ask anything more.
Soon, Pei Yan strode in.
With the cold air outside, Yu Tang, who was sitting at the door, couldn't help but shudder, and couldn't help but slander Pei Yan: On such a cold day, he didn't burn the earth dragon, and he didn't know what was wrong with it!
Pei Yan wore a moon-white muslin cotton robe today, with a green bamboo-colored cloth belt around his waist, and there were no other accessories, this time it was really simple.
Yu Tang looked so uncomfortable, as if something was missing.
Pei Yan seemed to be very busy, sat down and raised his hand to drive all the servants outside the house, and said to the three members of the Yu family: "I found someone to go to the sea trial, and that map is true." I'm going to set the auction for March 16, what do you think? ”
Although he said something negotiating, his tone was very firm, obviously thinking that such an arrangement was very good, and the Yu family would not refuse.
The three members of the Yu family changed color together.
March 16 is Yu Yuan's wedding date.
Why didn't Pei Yan arrange it early or late, but it was arranged on this day?
And when their family proposed to share the auction money with the Pei family, Pei Yan did not agree.
Yu Yuan couldn't help but look at Pei Yan's gaze with a little suspicion.
He winked at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang saw it, but felt that Yu Yuan was too concerned about this matter.
There is a huge difference in the strength of the Yu family and the Pei family, and Pei Yan doesn't need to play such a trick at all.
Yu Wen thought that since Pei Yan had set this date, there must be a reason, how should these two things be taken into account?
He didn't have an idea for a moment, and he showed some hesitation.
It was Pei Yan, confused, and said strangely: "What? Do you think it's a bad day? I asked the Tao family in Guangzhou to help with the sea trial, somehow, the news leaked out, and now I don't know which ones know the news, I thought, don't hide it, move the time back, let those who are interested in bidding participate. Maybe the auction price is not as high as we thought, but it can't hold up the crowd, maybe more money will fall into our pockets. ”
It can be seen that Pei Yan didn't know about Yu Yuan's marriage at all.
Maybe he was busy with the affairs of Yutu during this time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the things in Lin'an City.
Yu Tang said euphemistically: "On March 16, my cousin got married......"
Pei Yan was stunned, looked Yu Yuan up and down a few times, and said, "How old is your lobby brother?" Why do you want to get married so early? ”
Most of the boys and girls in Lin'an City got married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and her cousin was not too late, but it was not too early.
Yu Tang said: "There is only one male in our family!" ”
Pei Yan suddenly said decisively: "Then it's set for the tenth day of the first month of March." What do you guys think? Before Yu Gongzi got married, he should be able to recover the silver money from the auctions. ”
The marriage of the elder brother can be handled properly.
That's what he meant, right?
Yu Tang couldn't help but glance at Pei Yan.
I didn't expect this person to have such a delicate mind.
"Okay!" Yu Wen felt that if he threw this map out earlier, their family would be able to be quiet as soon as possible, of course, the sooner the better, "Let's listen to the third master." ”
Pei Yan smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, called Pei Man in, and said, "The auction time is set for the tenth day of the first month of March, you hurry up and send the invitations to the ones we have set before." ”
Pei Man retreated.
Pei Yan handed Yu Wen the list of people who were going to be invited to participate in the auction, and then introduced them one by one.
Guangzhou Taojia, Huzhou Wujia, Quanzhou Yinjia, Longyan Lijia...... Whichever one you take out, you can crush the Yu family.
If they hadn't invited the Pei family to come forward, they would have had a picture to sell, and they would have to have the life to spend this money!
The more Yu Wen listened, the more he sweated, and the more he listened, the more glad he was in his heart that he had listened to Yu Tang's suggestion.
