Chapter 161 God-given fate

"When I get back, I will give a message to the shopkeeper of Bazhenzhai and ask him to let the news out early. Tell him that the unknown master will make a four-striped screen of flowers and birds. If you are interested in getting this painting, you can quote the price first."

Xing'an, "..."

The four-striped screen is a set of four paintings. It can be hung on the wall for decoration or framed on a wooden frame as a screen. In any case, the four-striped screen looks more majestic than a single painting and is loved by dignitaries.

In particular, the four-strip screen made by the unknown master has never been seen before, and it will be highly sought after, and the price will naturally rise.

According to the fact that one of Er Ye's paintings can be fetched 3,000 taels of silver, these four screens are worth less than 20,000 taels of silver?

In the past, when I made a painting, I had to ask my grandfather and grandma for advice. But now it's better. I have to paint a painting from time to time just for money.

As expected, the second master is working in the Ministry of Household Affairs. He really has fallen into the eyes of money!

…

After the cold dew, the weather became a little colder.

Su Yujin asked Ai Cao to buy some chrysanthemums and use the petals to make red date and chrysanthemum milk tea.

Chrysanthemums, red dates, brown sugar, and milk are boiled until they are sweet and fragrant. One sip will warm your stomach and body.

Su Yujin made a large portion, put the milk tea into a casserole, handed it to Mugwort, "Give some to Su Ji."

Shuangye and the others are all girls, so they will probably like the taste, and drinking some warm drinks in autumn will be good for girls' health.

"Yes." Mugwort took the casserole, put it in the bamboo basket, and wrapped several layers of cloth around the bamboo basket to prevent the milk tea from getting cold.

When we arrived at Suji, the fragrant and sweet milk tea was highly praised by Qing Kui and others.

"This milk tea is really delicious."

"Is there anything the girl made that doesn't taste good or delicious?"

"That's right, I just don't know how to do it. If the girl is willing to teach us, if she is willing to teach us, we can drink it without bothering the girl in the future..."

A group of girls gathered together and talked lively, with Ai Cao chiming in a word or two from time to time.

After raising his eyes and looking around, Ai Cao asked, "Why isn't Sister Shuangye here?"

"Just now Qiaohui came to talk to Sister Shuangye. She also wanted Sister Shuangye to help her choose some silk threads for wearing tiger-head shoes. She said that her sister was already pregnant and the aunt wanted to make some pairs of tiger-head shoes for her future nephew.

Shoes, tiger head hat and so on, I guess I'm going to the cloth shop now."

Qing Kui replied.

Hu Qiaohui is a girl who lives near Su Ji and is about the same age as Shuangye.

The little girl has older brothers and younger siblings. She is quite pretty in appearance. Most importantly, she has a gentle and quiet temperament, and is hardworking and able to work hard. She has a good reputation among the neighbors.

Because he often came to Su Ji's place to buy all kinds of food, he gradually became familiar with Shuang Ye and others.

And because Hu Qiaohui has a good temperament, Shuangye and others also like her quite a lot, and they often communicate with her in private.

Ai Cao also knew Hu Qiaohui and had a good impression of him. Hearing this, he nodded, "That's it."

In that case...

Ai Cao blinked his eyes and said, "While Sister Shuangye is not here, can you also tell me about the matter between Sister Shuangye and that scholar?"

Qing Kui and the others looked at me and I looked at you, and they all started to giggle.

"Okay, you want to hide it from me and have fun on your own?" Ai Cao put her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed up, "If you do this, then I will be angry!"

The kind that can’t be coaxed!

"From now on, whatever food I give you, girl, it will all go into my belly alone, and I won't share it with you, hum!"

Qing Kui saw that Wormwood was so angry and hurriedly came over.

"Sister Ai Cao, don't be angry, I'm just telling you."

"But as long as you know it, if you tell me in front of Sister Shuangye, Sister Shuangye is thin-skinned and I'm afraid she will be embarrassed..."

"It's natural. Am I the kind of person who can't understand clearly?" Ai Cao raised her chin.

"That's true." Everyone nodded, and then told Ai Cao about Shuang Ye and Yu Yongye...

Yu Yongye also lived in a family not far away. He had a widowed mother. He was an only son. His late father used to work as a bookkeeper for others, so Yu Yongye knew many words since he was a child. In addition, his widowed mother Zhao

He is also considered a wise man. Even after his husband passed away and he took care of the children alone, he still had to send his children to school.

Yu Yongye is also very diligent. He passed the Tongsheng examination last year and just passed the Xiucai examination in the government examination in August this year. If he can pass the subject examination next year, he will be able to take the Juren examination the year after that.

"As for his appearance and body shape, he is considered to be on the thin side. After all, as scholars, they spend most of their time thinking, and everything they eat goes to their brains. It is normal to be thinner. His appearance is that he has regular facial features, so he is not considered a handsome man.

But he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks quite pleasing to the eye. The most important thing is his temperament, which means he is quite humble and polite, and he is a very kind person."

"That's right, my maid also found out that Yu Xiu Cai's mother, Mrs. Zhao, is also kind-hearted and easy to get along with. She doesn't seem to dote on Xiu Cai on weekdays. Many affairs in the family are done by Xiu Cai herself. It's not like...

The kind of widowed mother who, without her husband, only focuses on her son."

Ai Cao vividly told Su Yujin the gossip information he had learned from Su Ji, and finally nodded affirmatively, "If this is really the case, then if Sister Shuangye gets married, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is probably not as good as imagined.

Difficult to deal with."

Su Yujin nodded slightly, but also had some questions, "But since this Yu Xiucai is a scholar, I think he is often busy studying in the academy. How did he meet Shuangye?"

"This is a God-given fate!"

Ai Cao once again said vividly, "This can be traced back to when Yu Tongsheng was a scholar. At that time, Yu Tongsheng was not studying in the county school. He only studied in a small school in the county. He got up in the morning and went to the school every day and returned home in the evening.

, you have to pass by our Su Ji door every time."

"Just this spring, when the peach blossoms were at their peak, that evening, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Sister Shuangye was leading everyone to prepare the seasonings and ingredients needed for the next day. Suddenly she found that a seasoning was missing, so she hurriedly

I went to buy some, but I bumped into Yu Tongsheng at the corner of the alley."

"Sister Shuangye fell to the ground, her money bag was scattered, and the books and pens in Yu Tongsheng's hands also fell to the ground. The two of them hurriedly picked up the things, apologized to each other for being in a hurry, and hurriedly went about their own affairs. Waiting

When Sister Shuangye came back from shopping, she looked at a stone at the entrance of the alley.

There was a book sandwiched between the headboard and the wall. It seemed to be similar in size to the books that Tongsheng had scattered all over the floor. He guessed that Tongsheng had accidentally left them behind, and also thought that if it was a book, it would be needed urgently.

I thought about returning the things."
