In the study.
The furnishings are luxurious. The mahogany on the floor alone is not a bargain. A screen a few zhang away is well preserved, and it is probably an object from the previous dynasty.
Little family experience, a lifetime salary cannot afford it. It can be seen that a lot of oil and water have been caught. No wonder Luo Chengdong asked him to sit in the study.
Seeing that Cui Yun had never sized him up wantonly, Luo Chengdong was less interested in showing off.
Also, the Yang family is rich, and Yang Yu has never seen anything.
"In the fifteenth year of Jiayou, the Yang family was framed, and your father was taken away by the yamen, and his life was hanging by a thread. It was you who went out to clear the way, which saved the trouble. You are also capable."
"Absurd praise."
"What happened three years ago is not worth mentioning."
Luo Chengdong inquired about many things. They were all dismissed by Cui Yun's nonsense.
And what he revealed was only the news that Cui Yun wanted Luo Chengdong to know.
Luo Chengdong believed it was true, and looked at Cui Yun with a more clear expression.
He mentioned the square pot with enamel peony pattern painted on a copper body. The shoulder of the pot is entwined with passionflower, and the fan-shaped murals on the four sides of the pot are painted with broken branches of peony. Pour a cup of tea for Cui Yun.
"Try this tea, how does it taste?"
Cui Yun raised the white jade cup in his hand. I glanced at brown. The jade cup has a round mouth and a flat bottom, carved with patterns of bamboo and rattan.
His eyes flashed, and he took a casual sip. What he said made Luo Chengdong stiff.
"Not so much."
"The tea is good, but if it is boiled for too long, it will become bitter and lose its original color."
Luo Chengdong:? ? ?
I don't know the so-called vertical!
He endured it.
"Blame me, I'm not proficient in making tea."
Switching to someone else would naturally be a compliment.
Ke Cui Yun said lazily: "It is true."
"Brother Luo, it's a good thing that you don't know enough."
"In such a huge mansion, these chores still have to be done by the servants. It's no longer possible to go to the teahouse outside and recruit a young man to come in."
The Yang family has a wide range of business, even royal business. Father Yang also showed his face in front of the officials in the early years.
Luo Chengdong is well-fed in Hengzhou, but if you really want to talk about it, he is just an official of the eighth rank.
In addition to being lustful, Yang Yu is also a person with a temper and an eye above his head.
The former Cui Yun was difficult to do, but the latter met Shen Wei, and Cui Rong was brought up by him. It's easy to come by.
"Instead of before, I would never drink this kind of tea."
"It's just for Brother Luo's sake, this is a compliment."
Luo Chengdong continued to endure.
From the first time he came into contact with Yang Yu, he knew his nature.
At first, Yang Yu sent invitations to get acquainted intentionally, but Yang Yu didn't confiscate them for several days, and didn't give him any face. He is also indifferent to him.
He has a request to move forward. If a cooperation is finally reached and La Yangyu joins the group, he will be the matchmaker who can handle affairs for the fourth prince. When the fourth prince ascends the throne, the Yang family will naturally benefit.
When everything is settled, Yang Yu will have to thank him. At that time, it will naturally not be the deadly virtue it is now.
"Last time I found out that you started a family three years ago, I felt it was a pity. If I had known you earlier..."
Before finishing the sentence, Cui Yun interrupted with a smile.
"Brother Luo wants to be my father-in-law?"
Cui Yun sighed slightly, as if he was entangled: "I have seen the daughter of the Lingfu, and she looks really good."
He paused: "It doesn't match me very well."
Luo Chengdong was so angry that he wanted to slap the table.
What are you talking about! !
But his daughter's appearance is indeed flawed, and Yang Yu's is handsome enough, at least, he has never seen a young man who is more handsome than Yang Yu.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is as quiet as the bright moon, and as moving as a young man in fresh clothes and an angry horse.
Especially when he was talking and laughing lazily, even he couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.
"Let me tell you the truth, she is the daughter of Zhizhou's mansion. Zhizhou is worrying about his daughter-in-law. He chooses to come and go, but he is always dissatisfied. If you have never married, I would like to talk to a matchmaker." .”
Zhizhou naturally looked down on Yang Yu.
The mine business is no small matter.
If it be done, it will be in one boat. It is safest only if one's own people can grasp it. If the fourth prince sits on the Dragon Throne, Master Zhizhou can still go up one liter.
As he spoke, he acted regretful again and lowered his voice.
"The daughter of Zhizhou's mansion, in my opinion, is suitable for you."
Cui Yun understood.
He smiled suddenly, understanding what these people were thinking. But he didn't respond to a word.
Luo Chengdong was not in a hurry when he saw that he would not take the bait.
"Master."
There is a servant, walk in quickly.
"Master Zhizhou is here."
Luo Chengdong got up pretending to be surprised.
"I'll go to greet you in person."
As he spoke, he took a few steps outside, then stomped his feet again.
"Brother Yang, why don't you come with me? If you want to do big business in Hengzhou, you won't have to contact the government. As far as you are concerned, I'm afraid there will be no harm."
The boy hurriedly added another sentence.
"Mrs. Zhizhou came with the noble daughter from the mansion."
This is really too coincidental.
It can be seen that Luo Chengdong did it on purpose. It's clumsy to show Cui Yun the bottom line.
Luo Chengdong said: "Hurry up and call Madam."
Cui Yun paused with his fingertips.
He thought, Shen Hua shouldn't have been brought here.
——
At the women's table, Mrs. Luo left the table soon after receiving the letter.
Shen Hua was still holding a piece of snack in her hand, and she heard the whisper of the woman beside her.
"The female relatives of Zhizhou's mansion are here. It really is a big deal. Everyone came here early in the morning, but she came here slowly before dinner."
"The last time I had a banquet at my house, the food was going to be cold, and everyone was waiting for her. But she let the mother-in-law run away, saying that she would not come."
If you don’t come, tell me earlier!
Playing with her!
"This Mrs. Zhizhou claims to be honorable, but she can't give birth to half a legitimate son. She also looks down on me who climbed up on my belly the most. Last time, I humiliated me in public."
Shen Hua is silent: ...You really think of me as one of your own, don't you?
As she spoke, Mrs. Qiu's smile trembled wildly. Look at Shen Hua.
"Now that you are here, I can be regarded as having a companion."
Shen Hua didn't really want to be with her.
The girl is eating snacks melancholy. From time to time, the toes draw circles on the ground.
Soon, Mrs. Luo respectfully invited people in. The surrounding voices completely dissipated.
Shen Wei was pulled up by Mrs. Qiu.
All the ladies got up together.
Mrs. Zhizhou is wearing high-quality silk and satin, full of jewels, she said softly.
"There is no need to be too polite."
Spare the safety of all.
Mrs. Qiu, who still hated Mrs. Zhizhou's ugly face, immediately stepped forward with a smile.
"Madam Jinzun Yugui, it is our blessing to greet you. How can I save it?"
"I haven't seen Madam for a long time, but you are getting younger."
Shen Hua: …
Changing face is not as fast as you!
Mrs. Zhizhou didn't look at her, she walked around Mrs. Qiu and took the lead and sat down at the main seat, while the girl next to her, He Yuan, stayed in front of Shen Wei for a moment.
With eyes like scanning worthless goods, contempt for abnormalities. His gaze finally landed on the girl's lower abdomen.
