There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 113

Liu Jian's things are very real. He newly got ten high-quality purple bamboo bone silk umbrellas and gave Wu Youwei two.

An umbrella is embroidered with Wu Youwei's copy of "Spring Flowers, Spring Moon, Years and Years" from Nalan Xingde's "Bodhisattva Man".

An umbrella is embroidered with Fish Leaping over the Dragon Gate.

Wu Youwei also likes it very much.

Liu Daxia gave him two bolts of rare milky-white tribute silk, which can be used as an inner garment in summer, and it is as light and breathable as if he had no clothes on!

Wu Youwei didn't understand the fabric and couldn't tell, so Xu Niang fell in love with her at a glance. On the same day, she and her daughter rushed to make a new underwear for Wu Youwei to wear at night.

Sure enough, it was the same as the second layer of skin, Wu Youwei was overjoyed!

Now the weather is sometimes scorching hot, he wants to run away!

There are also a few good friends who have sent things that are all different, but they are all suitable for him.

Wu Youwei looked at these things and sighed: "This is the knowledge of gift giving!"

Look at the things others give, each one has so much connotation, what about the ones you give yourself?It's just that some fruits are rare.

"The things they gave are not very good." Butler Lin has a different opinion: "Master, what do you give? They are either built-in or motivated. I'm afraid they can't touch them normally, so it's better from Mr. Li Dongyang." Some, others have to go through 20 years to be able to use these things."

20 years is rare, and it is not bad to be able to climb up in 30 years.

The master is a juror, and there are thousands of Jinyiwei families who come to give gifts. When the master passes the Jinshi examination and enters the Imperial Academy, is it still worth it?

Butler Lin didn't know why, but he intuitively thought that his master would soar into the sky sooner or later!

Wu Youwei didn't know how precious his seemingly ordinary fruit was in ancient times.

Later, he figured it out. With the Wu Mansion's position and financial resources, he hadn't bought bananas for three years. Maybe this thing is really...precious?

Two days later, the weather became hotter and hotter, and suddenly it was cloudy, and it rained, which made it cooler. Wu Youwei was relieved.

Wantong entrusted someone to send him a car of Chan Yi Luo.

Tang Lihe's "Stone City Dawn" Poem

The spring tents are covered with cicada wings, and the golden hermit flowers protrude from across the Yin Yin.

In front of the tent, the feathers of the crane are lightly fluffed up, wanting to say that the heart of spring has nothing to do with it.

Wu Youwei touched this thing as thin as cicada's wings, and suddenly remembered the soft smoke in "Dream of Red Mansions".

"You look good, why did you give me Chanyi Luo?" Wu Youwei was puzzled.

"My lord Qianhu said, give it to Mr. Juren to paste the windows. This one is thinner and more breathable." It was Wantong's butler Wan Dafu who gave the gift.

The housekeeper of his brother's house is called Wan Dafa...

Wu Youwei looked at his own window screen, and then looked at the one that was delivered, it was better from others!

"Okay, I got it." Wu Youwei gave Wan Dafu a dime, Chang Sui thirty copper coins, and the coachman twenty copper coins, and let Steward Lin keep them for lunch. After dinner they took a rest and went back without taking a nap.

Two days later, it rained again. Taking advantage of the coolness, Wu Youwei invited someone to drink tea at Pinyuan Teahouse.

It was the same few people, everyone sat together, the windows in the private room were all open, shaded by trees, the breeze blew, and the heat in midsummer seemed to be blocked by the trees.

"The Ministry of Rites has been very busy these two days." Li Dongyang snickered and said, "There are many beautiful women who have passed the re-election, and they are all busy!"

"I heard that the empress dowagers of the two palaces want to choose a queen, but they are all busy." Liu Daxia said: "Now the Ministry of Rites is already arranging the itinerary for the wedding."

"It's time to make arrangements, how old is His Majesty the Emperor? He doesn't even have a baby!" Liu Jian said honestly, "My son is running all over the place.

"I hope my elder brother's eldest niece can be more honest, and it will be fine until the draft is over." Wu Youwei clasped his hands and prayed facing south.

"Youweixian...don't want your eldest niece...to be elected?" Several people were surprised by Wu Youwei's reaction.

"My eldest niece... Huan can say anything." Wu Youwei sighed: "Where is the imperial palace? It's fine if she doesn't win the election. After being elected, if someone is about to make a mistake, it will be irreversible, and there will be troubles." home."

"No way?" Zhang Sheng felt that Wu Youwei was a little too worried.

"She... was brought up by my aunt..." Wu Youwei said half of the sentence, please make up the rest by yourself.

Everyone thinks, isn't it!

With the appearance of the aunt, what kind of girl is she raised?

No wonder Wu Youwei was worried.

After talking about this matter, he also talked about some things in the books. Before Wu Youwei came, he wrote down some questions that he was not clear about, and then asked for advice one by one.

Until I figure it out.

Zhang Sheng, like him, is a juren. Yang Yiqing, him, and Zhang Sheng all have a lot of questions. Asking the other three for advice has gained a lot of knowledge.

Because it was Wu Youwei's treat, the shopkeeper waived their tea money.

It's just that when going out, the shopkeeper and a rich employee came over: "This is Wu Youwei, the Juren who mentioned the couplet."

The wealthy member immediately bowed his hands in salute: "Wu Juren."

"Hello, who are you?" Wu Youwei glanced at the shopkeeper.

"This is Guan Yuanwai, the owner of Jixiang Cloth." The shopkeeper introduced: "He wanted a pair of couplets to put on the door of his house, but he asked for many, and none of them were very satisfactory. Now he passed by the door and saw the door. The couplet, I feel very good, so I come in.

"It's really good. Please do a good job for the auspicious cloth shop. There will be a rich and rich pen." The chubby and friendly customs officer said: "It's troublesome."

He was so polite, Wu Youwei couldn't refuse.

Pinyuan Tea House has a table all year round, on which are placed the four treasures of the study. Any talented person who wants to keep a calligraphy can just go up and write. The things here are also high-quality, and there is no charge.

Of course, if the calligraphy you keep is not good, that's another matter.

Yang Yiqing was about the same age as Wu Youwei, and stood beside him to watch the excitement, while the rest of the people left in no hurry, just looking at him like that.

Wu Youwei pondered for a moment, then splashed ink:

Silk and satin can be made into shirts,

Silk brocade and silk embroidered dress.

After finishing writing, he put down the pen, pointed to these fourteen characters and said: "Hengpi is Jixiang Cloth Village', very good."

Everyone was stunned after seeing it, and then their eyes lit up. This couplet is really well written, especially the artistic conception in it.

The customs officer was even more happy: "Yes! Keye!"

Wu Youwei also felt that his character had exploded. This couplet is very good.

Before leaving, the people beside the customs officer gave Wu Youwei a purse, which was embroidered with the auspicious pattern of Yuyuelong【"Gate".

Wu Youwei stayed at Zhang Sheng's place at night.

Zhang Sheng used to be alone, renting a courtyard with a few servants and book boys, and studying in a nearby college, but later he passed the Juren examination, and the college had nothing to teach.

Then after this year, his wife sent him a letter. The old man in the family was worried, and she would bring her son to take care of the husband.

It happened that Wu Youwei let him live in his own house, which saved him the trouble of finding another house.

Besides, Wu Youwei has all kinds of colors here, so he can move in with his bags.

Zhang Sheng specially reserved the East Wing for him to live in as a guest room. The coachman and book boy he brought were just right, so they could live in the East Wing.

Wu Youwei finally couldn't hold back before going to bed, and opened his purse, which contained a 500 tael bank note.

Really generous!

He thought so, he knew about Jixiang Embroidery Workshop. It was said that the owner behind it was very powerful.

And their cloth shop has its own embroidery workshop, which can undertake all kinds of needlework.

These days, can such a big business be opened in an important place in the capital without any backing?

Wu Youwei felt at ease when he got the silver, put away his purse, lay down and fell asleep after a while.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wu Youwei went to Fahai Temple again while the weather was cool.

The location of Fahai Temple is good, the trees are shady, and there is no hot sun when walking inside.

Wu Youwei gave Master Ji Kong a novel and two short stories of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" and "The Legend of the Flying Fox" and "Yuanyang Knife" that he wrote silently.

I think that because of that couplet, he read all fourteen of Jin Dashen's works, and his memory is particularly deep.

Especially the ones that come in sets.

Produced by the Great God, there is a guarantee.

Master Jikong picked it up and looked at it but couldn't put it down.

Wu Youwei stayed here for lunch and dinner. After dinner, he listened to the sound of evening drums and enjoyed the midsummer night very much.

The clean air and the quiet sound of drums made Wu Youwei confused for a moment. Is this a dream, or is it really happening?

So, he pinched himself unconsciously: "Hiss!

It hurts!

Go back quickly.

I snatched Master Ji Kong's monk's bed and slept all night. At night, I still felt my arm hurt in my dream.

The breakfast on the second day can only be enjoyed after reciting sutras. Wu Youwei personally ordered tofu skin buns, but his family’s is filled with meat, while others have vegetarian fillings. The tofu skin buns with mushroom and cabbage fillings are also very good eat.

After breakfast, before the sun rose, Wu Youwei got up early, and hurried home while the weather was not hot.

Say goodbye to Master Ji Kong: "Master, I'm leaving first, and I'll come back to see you in a few days!"

"Remember to bring a new book." Master Ji Kong rarely tore his eyes from the novel, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Your eldest niece may be a good fortune."

"Yeah, good luck, good fortune, big good fortune, can there be good luck after being drafted into the palace?" Wu Youwei didn't take it seriously at all, waved his hand, and left.

Master Ji Kong looked at the backs of him and the little master and servant of the book boy, and sighed, wondering if he listened or not.

When Wu Youwei returned to Mo Ling Villa, he sorted out "Story of Foreign Objects" and took a copy to read.

This is "Story of Foreign Objects" written by Yang Fu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Yang Fu, styled Xiaoyuan, or Zuo Xiaoxian, was born in Nanhai, Guangdong.At the end of Han Dynasty, he was Yilang.The "Yiwuzhi" written by him is the earliest "Yiwuzhi" in history.

It is said that "Shui Jing Zhu" was cited as a record in Yang's "Southern Foreign Objects".

For example, "Shui Jing Zhu" volume 37 quotes|Yang's "Southern Foreign Objects": "The beard is only a big snake, which is both flooded and long. The color is refuted, and its article is brocade. Eat hogs and swallow deer, and grow up and create. Bin Enjoy a fine feast, bean or wine."

Wu Youwei read with relish.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. On June [-]th, the butler of the Wu Mansion came again.

This time, I gave him a cart of muskmelons that were almost rotten.

"Missy has passed the selection process, and the two empress dowagers are very kind to Missy." When he said this, the butler of Wu's residence was very complacent.

"That's not called the two empress dowagers, who do you think you are?" Wu Youwei looked at him indifferently: "You should respectfully call them the empress dowagers of the two palaces."

Does this make a difference?

No!

However, honorific titles and not honorable titles are very different in ancient times, especially the steward of the Wu family is still a humble person.

Sure enough, the butler of the Wu residence turned pale.

Wu Youwei happened to be standing on the steps, looking down at him coldly.

The butler of the Wu Mansion was so triumphant, he honestly said hello and unloaded the melons from the car.

Chuan Ye then told Wu Youwei: "Young master has already made an engagement with Miss Sun's family, and the engagement has passed."

Now that you're engaged, you're about to get married.

"When will the wedding be held?" Wu Youwei asked lazily, but he didn't really care about it.

"The third day of July." The steward of the Wu residence said, "Because the young lady has passed the audition, I'm afraid she will enter the palace in a few days. Before the young lady can go home and have a look, I will arrange the wedding of the young master first." gone."

Wu Youwei nodded. According to the rules of this era, the elder brother is not married yet, how can the younger sister get married?

The steward of the Wu residence looked at Wu Youwei, and said again: "The old lady said, when the time comes, you, the uncle, will have to give a dowry to the eldest nephew."
