Delicate Flower - Chapter 42

[Chapter 42 Mezzanine]

Yu Yuan only returned to the store in the evening.

He was carrying a few lotus leaf bags in his left hand and a glass bottle in his right, and when he saw Yu Wen playing chess in the hall, he went straight to him, smiled and lifted the things in his hand, and said, “Uncle, look what I brought back. ?”

Yu Wen smelled the aroma of braised vegetables as he approached, he took a deep sniff, and said, “It’s the braised pig head of the Zhenbeicheng family.”

Yu Yuan laughed and said, “Uncle, your nose is so real. Ling.”

“That’s right!” Yu Wen laughed, “You don’t even think about who brought it back from Hangzhou Prefecture when you first ate braised pig’s head? I wouldn’t be able to smell his braised pig’s head. What else do you call a gluttonous glutton?” He pointed to the glass bottle in Yu Yuan’s hand: “What is this? It’s still in a glass bottle, and this bottle is worth several taels of silver, where did you get it? Yu Yuan greeted

the

boss, sat proudly on the spring stool next to him, and said, “You can’t guess this, right? It’s called wine, and it was given to me by Yao San’er.”

“Wine?” Yu Wen frowned, “Yao San’er?”

“It’s the third boy who lives in the Yao family in the north of the city. He grew up with me, and later became a businessman with his uncle.” Yu Yuan said excitedly, “I am today. I was wandering around the north of the city at noon, but I didn’t expect to meet him. He now runs a grocery store at the Wulin Gate and is the boss. Knowing that I came with you, he was going to say hello to you , as a result, goods came in the shop, and I couldn’t get away, so they gave me this bottle of wine, saying that it came from Dashi. Nowadays, rich and noble people in Hangzhou are giving this as gifts, saying that it is filial to you. Try it. He also bought the braised pig head from the Zhenbeicheng family. He is also going to come to visit you tomorrow.”

Yu Wen remembered it and said with a smile, “It was him! Back then, when both his parents died, you helped him from time to time. Eat food, I didn’t expect him to remember you, it’s also fate.”

Yu Yuan nodded again and again and smiled: “He is really good now, he also bought a small house at Qingchunmen, and married a man from Hangzhou city. The lady became a wife and settled down in the city of Hangzhou.”

Yu Wen nodded and invited the boss to drink with him: “It’s rare for us to get along so well, so don’t be polite. We just happen to taste what this wine is like.” The

boss has dealt with Yu Wen several times and knows that he is quite open-minded. People, and this wine has made everyone curious recently, so you are welcome, let the proprietress go to add a few dishes, and then move to the patio with Yu Wen and Yu Yuan, put the braised pork head on a plate, and drink it first Drink up.

Yu Yuan holds the pot.

As soon as the wine was poured into the wine cup, Yu Wen smelled a fruity aroma, which was different from the wine he usually drank.

He took a deep breath and looked down again. In the wine cup of the white bottle, the wine was red. Like blood, he was taken aback and said, “Why is this color?”

Yu Yuan hurriedly said, “It’s this color, Yao San’er had specially warned me before that if it wasn’t for this color, it would be fake wine. .”

Yu Wen nodded and took a sip.

The owner of the inn hurriedly asked: “How is it? Does it taste good?”

Yu Wen was noncommittal, and said quietly: “This wine, like that tea, also has different tastes. I think it’s good, but you may not think it’s good. You have to taste it yourself. I know.” The

innkeeper thought it made sense, raised his glass and took a sip… Then, the whole person stayed there.

Yu Yuan looked wrong and said anxiously: “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?” The

innkeeper glanced at Yu Wen, swallowed the wine in his mouth, and then slowly said to Yu Yuan: “You will know if you taste it. .”

Yu Yuan glanced suspiciously at the two of them and took a tentative sip of wine, but before the wine entered his throat, he spat it out with a puff.

“What’s this smell?” He frowned, “Isn’t it very expensive?”

Yu Wen and the owner of the inn both laughed, and Yu Wen said bluntly at this time: “What famous wine? How can it be compared to our Jinhua wine? However, it is still okay to have an early taste. Go, bring a glass to your sister and try it. It’s a rare trip to Hangzhou Mansion, and you have to see some strange things to make this trip worthwhile!”

Yu Yuan squeezed his eyes and brought a glass of wine to Yu Tang.

Yu Tang looked at Yu Yuan suspiciously: “Didn’t you tell me to fast?”

“This wine is very expensive, just take a sip and smell it, you think you can drink a whole cup of it! “Yu Yuan said.

Yu Tang did not suspect it and took a sip.

Astringent, sour and bitter, what kind of wine is this!

Yu Tang got up to beat Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan and her were circling around the round table and said, “My uncle asked me to serve it for you to taste.”

“Then you can’t do this!” The

brothers and sisters were making a fuss, and the younger brother knocked on the door outside, saying

“Young Master Yu, someone is looking for you!”

Yu Tang didn’t want to make trouble with him anymore, Yu Yuan straightened his clothes and asked, “Who is he?”

The shop assistant said, “It’s a twelve or three-year-old boy. , I just said I came to you, but refused to say who I am?”

Yu Yuan asked in confusion, “Who is this?” Then he said to Yu Tang, “I’ll come and see.”

Yu Tang nodded and sent Yu Yuan out .

.

After a while, Yu Yuan turned back, and he whispered to Yu Tang in a low voice, “Master Qian sent someone to look for me. When my uncle comes back, you can tell him.”

Yu Wen was drinking with the innkeeper at this time .

.

Yu Tang worried: “Didn’t you say what happened?”

Yu Yuan shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to report to you immediately if something happens.” No matter how worried

Yu Tang was, he could only let him go.

When the second watch was played, Yu Wen’s banquet was over, and he came to see Yu Tang: “Are you feeling better?”

“Much better!” Yu Tang helped his father sit down at the table and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Yu Wen saw that Yu Tang made the needle and thread that was thrown on the table, and couldn’t help picking it up and leaning in front of the oil lamp to watch: “Oh, I didn’t expect you to do this. This little bug can be fake and real, with seven black dots on its back. There’s nothing wrong with the location. It’s really good!”

Yu Tang is very good at making insects, in addition to ladybugs, there are also dragonflies, mantises, bees… She does it very realistically.

Yu Wen said: “This flower is also well done, I look like a pustule. When you go back, I will make a daidai for your mother as well.”

This is her father’s reward and affirmation.

Yu Tang was very happy and said with a smile: “I’m going to make a peony or a peony flower for my mother.”

Yu Wen said, “I think your mother looks better with a begonia or a clove.”

Could it be that in his father’s mind, Is the mother more like a crabapple or a lilac?

”

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, and told Yu Wen where Yu Yuan was going.

Yu Wen was very worried, but he couldn’t show it in front of Yu Tang, so he said lightly, “I know,” and told Yu Tang: “You went to bed early, remember to make a head flower for your mother tomorrow, we said it was bought in Hangzhou City, see if your mother can tell the difference.

”

Yu Tang replied with a smile . He tossed and turned

at night and never fell asleep. Before

dawn, Yu Yuan came back.

When he entered the house, he also woke up Yu Tang, who was hanging in his heart next door, and she quietly put on clothes. Go to my father’s room.

Yu Yuan came to open the door.

Yu Wen was wearing clothes and stood in front of the desk with a heavy face. He didn’t say anything when he saw Yu Tang come in.

When Yu Tang approached, he discovered that there were three unframed paintings on the bookcase.

Two of them can be seen to be the “Pine River Fishing Hidden Picture”, and the other one looks like a mountain and a sea, and there are various symbols on it that people can’t understand.

Yu Wen said in a deep voice: “A Tang, you really guessed it. There is something strange in this painting!”

Yu Tang could see it without her father telling her, she looked towards Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan’s face was not very good-looking, he lowered his voice and said: “These are the three paintings that Master Qian revealed, “Pine Creek Fishing Hidden Picture” is on the upper and lower floors, and the middle floor is something that I don’t know what it is. Mr. Qian asked us to take it back without even mounting the frame.”

It can be seen that Mr. Qian also saw that there was a problem in this.

Yu Tang pointed to the unknown painting and said, “What is this?”

Yu Yuan shook his head: “I don’t know either.”

Yu Wen stared at the nameless picture, and spit out two words: “Map!”

“What?!” Yu Tang and Yu Yuan asked in unison.

Yu Wen explained: “It’s a topographic map of mountains and rivers. In the past, wars and flood control required such maps to know whether the surroundings were mountains or water, mountains or plains.”

Yu Tang thought about going to Zhaoming Temple by herself and no one would lead it. Knowing where to go, I immediately felt that someone who could draw such a picture was very admirable.

Moreover, it must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources, which is very precious.

She said, “Could it be that this is the picture they were looking for?”

Yu Wen and Yu Yuan didn’t say a word and acquiesced to her words.

Yu Wen even said: “Maps are very rare and valuable. They are all managed by the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Industry, and ordinary people have never seen them before. In the past, when generals went on expeditions, they had to be third-rank officers such as chief soldiers to rely on the documents of the Ministry of War. Go to the Ministry of Industry to lead it. After the battle, the map will have to be returned as it is. Even me, I also overheard Lu Xin say it.”

Yu Yuan felt a little frightened when he heard this, and said, “Where is this painting? It came out? Who the hell was looking for this painting? How did he know there was this thing hidden in the painting? Why didn’t he just buy it from our family?”

No one can answer these questions.

Neither Yu Wen nor Yu Tang had ever realized so clearly as at this moment that their family was in big trouble.

Yu Yuan said: “Then, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com what should we do?”

Yu Wen slumped on the chair of the teacher behind the desk, and said, “Let me think about it, let me think about it… Although I recognize this It’s a map, but I don’t know where the mountain-shaped landforms are drawn, and what it does… If you want to know, you can only go to someone who has seen maps, or even is familiar with all kinds of maps…” As he spoke, he pointed to the place where the wavy line represented water in the picture: “Nothing is marked, we don’t know whether it is river water or river water. We hold this picture like a child holding a 80-pound knife. Not only can it not deter others, but it will also hurt myself.”

People who have seen Maps, people who are very familiar with Maps… A face of Pei Yan suddenly appeared in Yu Tang’s mind.

“Father!” She said hesitantly, “How about we go to see Mr. Pei San?!”

Yu Wen suddenly looked at her.

Yu Tang suddenly felt inexplicably worried, as uncomfortable as being stripped of his coat, and said, “Otherwise, you can find Zhou Zhuangyuan… They are all knowledgeable people, and they must know that the picture on this is. what…”
