Chapter 194: Li Tai's Weakness
After traveling for more than two months, the affairs of the Wei Wangfu have a lot to make the Yu Yu over, from various expenses to the Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet that will be held, Li Tai used to be in charge, and now in addition to the list of banquet guests, Li Tai is at most, and everything else needs her as the hostess to take the idea.
Li Tai was relieved of his burden, and it was a lot easier, and Yu Yu was busy.
Yi Yu heard about Cheng Xiaofeng's engagement from Ping Tong, and he couldn't wait to find the door now to ask for an understanding, but there were government affairs to deal with at one end, and Puzhen Garden at the other end needed to be taken care of, so he could only write a letter first and ask his subordinates to send it to Cheng Mansion and do it one by one.
The Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet in the Wei Palace, stopped for two years and then held, the limelight has not diminished, this is a rare opportunity to meet the holy face, even if the emperor may not be present, it is good to be able to mix in front of Li Tai, so there are many people who flock to it.
At this time of year, the number of people who come to the Wei Wangfu to give gifts and post will multiply, all for a small banquet sticker, what Yu Yu didn't expect was that there were people who started from her, probably because the news of Li Tai's return to Beijing was known, and in just one afternoon, more than 20 letters were handed over from the porter to Yu Yu.
These people include her classmates when she was studying in Guozijian, as well as relatives of the Lu family, some of whom recommended their brothers, and some who recommended themselves.
After listening to Lu Dong's report on the income and expenditure of the house, Sun Delai asked for instructions on the preparation of the banquet, and Yu Yu sat at the table she dedicated to in the study, and gave a general glance, three years ago, she was the same as this group of people, because of a banquet Bai Ti couldn't sleep at night, but three years later, she had the person to decide whether to give them a chance, and became the person who watched them compete at the banquet.
This feeling is very subtle, the expansion brought by power, even if she is a woman, it is inevitable that she is vulgar, and it is even more instinctive for men to compete for power.
"Did all these people give gifts?"
Yi Yu put down the letter in his hand and asked Zhao Chuan, Zhao was implicated because of the four big maids, and Lu Dong temporarily took over the finances during the punishment, Lu Dong was a good hand at financial management, and then Li Tai simply let him take charge of the treasury, and Yu Yu sent another miscellaneous affairs in the house to Zhao Chuan to manage.
"If you go back to the princess, you have sent it, and the gift list is here, please take a look."
After looking at it, Yu Yu pushed it over again, "You go to Lu Dong and select some good quality paper and ink from the treasury to give back." β
Even if she didn't want to go through the back door to others, she had no intention of returning the gifts she sent, not to mention offending people, and giving people the impression of being a little family.
Zhao Chuan obediently went down, and finally finished dealing with everything that should be dealt with, dusk was approaching, and Yu Yu stayed in the study for most of the day, tired of backache, covering his mouth and yawning several times, Pingtong looked distressed from the sidelines.
"Master, do you want to go back to the house and sleep for a while, and then get up again for dinner."
"I can't sleep at night after sleeping at this time," Yi Yu picked up the warm and palatable bird's nest and drank it in one gulp, stood up and walked back and forth in the study a few times, moving his muscles and bones.
Miss Cheng replied. Pinghui walked in from outside, holding a piece of paper in her hand.
"Bring it to me quickly," Yi Yu hurriedly took it and opened it, there were only three sentences on it, one sentence explained that Miss Cheng was grounded at home by Mrs. Cheng, one sentence said that she was beaten by Cheng Biting Jin, and the last sentence was to reply to Yi Yu that she was indeed engaged.
Who are you engaged to, how are you beaten, and why are you grounded?
This letter with no beginning and no end made Yu Yu's brain hurt again, and he put the letter away haphazardly, and decided to go to Cheng's Mansion tomorrow morning, so that Lu Jun would not be hungry and frozen over there in Puzhenyuan, but if Cheng Xiaofeng was provoked, it would definitely be a chicken and a dog.
When Li Tai came back, it was just in time for dinner, and Yu Yu was waiting for him in the dining room while reading a book, and when he saw that she was leaning on the soft cushion and had no energy, he stopped her from getting up to greet her.
"Just sit down."
Pingtong Pinghui excepted, the two of them were still very polite in front of most of the subordinates, Yiyu responded, asked Pingtong Pinghui to serve him soup, waited for him to sit down, and then came over, put a heavy bamboo slip in his hand in front of him, pointed to the top place, looked like a good student, and asked:
"What's these two?"
Holding in her hand is the etiquette system set by the Tang Imperial Family, related to clothing, food, housing and transportation, speech and behavior, a full twenty-seven volumes, she has seen it since May, only half of it has been read, summed up, looking at this thing is not only a test of patience, but also a test of people's hearts, there are at least hundreds of words on a book She has never seen it, which is quite a blow to a person who has been reading books for more than ten years.
Fortunately, not only do she not know these words, but also Pingtong and Pinghui, who can write poetry and paint, take Pingtong's words, these ritual books, the entire royal family is afraid that Yu will have the patience to read and remember.
Of course, Li Tai is the exception.
Li Tai looked sideways and said, "Gulfer." β
"Moon peck." Yi Yu read the same sound, but his eyes were still dark, and he had no impression, so he had to ask him what he meant.
"It's a kind of bird, and its eyes are like a bird." Li Tai cleaned his hands on the copper basin brought by Ah Sheng, wiped it dry, and then took over the scroll of bamboo slips, pointed to some of the words on it that she traced with charcoal, taught them one by one, and said some related allusions, the tone was plain but the content was very rich, and it was easy for people to leave an impression on these obscure words.
Yi Yu listened and took notes, looking at his well-trimmed, straight and good-looking fingers, and unconsciously lost his mind, and after a while, his ears drilled into his inquiry:
"What's wrong?"
"Huh?" Yi Yu raised his head in a daze, and met his eyes with hidden concern, first spurned himself who could be fascinated by every finger he saw, and then a little proud, look, such a man who is familiar with astronomy and geography, it seems that there is no difficulty in getting his man, it is her husband.
"I was thinking, what else wouldn't you have?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Yi Yu asked a heartfelt question.
This question does not match the preface, Li Tai put down the bamboo slip, and just when Yi Yu felt that this question was reckless, he waved his hand to let the people in the house go down.
"Huh?" Yu Yu was suspicious.
"Weeping."
"Huh?" Yu Yu couldn't react a little.
Li Tai put aside his head, didn't plan to say it a second time, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat the vegetables.
"You mean, you meanβ" Yu Yu's mind turned around, and she suddenly understood, and screamed, "You don't know how to fish?" β
Chuilun is a thing suitable for all ages, the poor fish to make a living, the rich fish pleasantly, as far as the jade knows, the emperor is best to do this in his spare time, there are rumors in the capital that Li Shimin once caught a forty pound of big fish in the Yongshou Tan in the south of the city, so that the courtiers who went fishing with them admired it, regardless of whether this thing is true or not, it can be seen that he is not good at fishing, and it can really be said that it is an unspeakable shortcoming.
"What's the blame." Li Tai's face was calm, but the awkwardness that could not be hidden in those blue eyes made Yu Yu see clearly.
"Oh, yes, what's so strange about that?"
Afraid that it would really annoy him, Yu Yu quickly retracted his surprise, while playing with him, while secretly saying in his heart, no wonder he didn't mix every time she set up a pole to fish on the lake outside the Jade Courtyard, this boat went down to Yangzhou, and when docking on the river, Zhou Ren and Pinghui took the pole to fish and play, but he didn't even have a head.
Thinking so, she couldn't help but comfort, "Fishing is very difficult, you see I sometimes sit by the lake for two hours, and I don't even see a single fish scale." β
Li Tai paused with a slice of venison in his mouth, and did not bother to tell her that he had sat on the shore of a lake with abundant water and grass for seven days without a single fish being baited.
Bi Yiyu didn't seem to notice his abnormality, so he didn't know how to pick on his sore spots, and said with a serious face, "Fishing requires the most patience and time, and you don't lack patience, in my opinion, you don't have the leisure to fish, it's not that you can't fish." Why don't we find a clear day and go fishing by the river on the outskirts of the city? ββ
The corners of Li Tai's mouth moved, and he began to regret telling her that the venison that had come to his mouth was put into the plate in front of her, "No." β
Yi Yu only thought he was embarrassed, and persuaded, "Don't do this, let's try it while it's still cold." β
So Li Taizi turned around in the air again, and directly sandwiched a plate farthest away from her, and cooked a piece of pork belly that was shiny and fat and thin, and stacked it in her bowl.
Yi Yu lowered his head, and when he saw this piece of meat, he suddenly forgot what he just said, because he was clipping, and it was not easy to pick it out, so he could only look at him pitifully, and said:
"I have some food and don't want to eat meat."
I had heard from my subordinates that she ate a little bigger than a cat at noon, and she didn't have to think about it to know that she was talking nonsense, so Li Tai didn't raise his eyelids, and added another piece into her bowl.
Yi Yu didn't dare to say anything now, and hurriedly blocked the bowl with his hand, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, and said loudly, "I'll eat it, don't clip it anymore." β
Li Tai made a sound in his nose and ignored her anymore, Yi Yu poked the two pieces of fat with a disgusted face, and wanted to wait for him to finish eating and leave before destroying the corpse, but Li Tai ate quietly, and waited for her all day drinking soup.
There was no way, Yi Yu had no choice but to swallow two pieces of meat and swallow it, and looked at his back as he put down the soup bowl and paced away.
"Well, isn't it just a joke, it's worth being so careful." Seeing that the person was gone, Yi Yu muttered with a greasy little mouth.
She didn't know where Li Tai avoided what his subordinates told him, it must be true, but it was rare to see him embarrassed, and she wanted to tease him, so she wanted to be disgusted by the opposite.
"Pinghui, go pour a pot of flower tea." The smell of oily in your mouth is really unpleasant.
"Master," as soon as Li Tai left, the maids came into the house to serve again, and Pinghui quickly poured tea and handed it to Yu Yu.
"Didn't you say that you should eat light for dinner," Yi Yu poured two cups of tea, pointed to the plate of fat, and said in a bad tone: "Who is the master who added the dishes?" β
Ping Hui opened her mouth, and Ping Tong gave her a look, but unfortunately Ping Hui, who was being lectured, couldn't see it, and said a little aggrieved: "Master, you said that you wanted to add meat dishes to the prince, and you also said that you would make it salty and fragrant." β
Yi Yu was dumbfounded, glaring, and she was still self-inflicted
