Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 44
In the backyard of the Yu Mansion, Yu Xiu'er repeatedly chanted Sun Xiangfu's new work, feeling sweet in her heart, but it's a pity that Grandpa Yu Shinan was so overbearing that he snatched that calligraphy back to her study, and kept writing without even eating. Copying, it wasn't until Sun Xiangfu and Yu Chang had eaten more than half of their meal that Yu Shinan came to the front hall leisurely swaying his old body.

"My lord father is here."

Seeing Yu Chang calling the old man's father, Sun Xiangfu naturally knew that this person was Yu Shinan, a leading figure in calligraphy in this era, and quickly bowed down and said, "My son Xiangfu, I have met Mr. Yu."

"Hehe, do you still call me boss at this time?" Yu Shinan glanced at Sun Xiangfu, who was in full bloom and in his youth, and smiled.

"Uh, the grandson-in-law is paying a visit to Grandpa."

Seeing Sun Xiangfu change his words, the Yu family father and son laughed at the same time. After a while, the two waited for Yu Shinan to sit down before the case, and Yu Shinan looked at Sun Xiangfu again and said, "I see your calligraphy, horizontal and vertical, point, Leaving, pressing, hooking, the structure is clear and distinct, it is a family of its own, can there be a teacher?"

"My grandpa, without a teacher, my son-in-law was poor since he was a child, so he first used a hard charcoal pen to copy books and practice calligraphy on the bricks. Over time, he got used to this font. It was purely accidental." edited by Sun Xiangfu explained a reason.

"So that's how it is. There are so many subtleties in this font. If you practice diligently and cultivate its spirit, you will become a famous master in the world, and you should not let it go unnoticed."

What kind of person Yu Shinan is, one can tell at a glance that Sun Xiangfu's calligraphy skills are still shallow, tangible but not spiritual, but he is still young, and it is the time when he is working hard, so it is not bad to write like this.

"My son-in-law would like to follow my grandfather's instruction." Sun Xiangfu saluted respectfully.

"Well, I heard that you are about seventeen years old, and you haven't picked up your characters yet. I'm afraid it's because you don't have a teacher!"

"Exactly."

"From now on, you will be a family, so let me, the elder, take the calligraphy for you! Your calligraphy is horizontal and vertical, the shape is square, and the falling paper is clear and distinct. I will take the calligraphy for you to make it clear!"

Yu Shinan hardly thought about it.

In Chang'an, it is definitely an honor to have the young man named Yu Shinan take his name. You must know that this old man is now a bachelor of the Hongwen Museum, representing the top cultural level of the Tang Dynasty.

"Thank you, Grandpa, for giving me the words."

Since then, Sun Xiangfu has another name, Sun Zhengming.

He chatted with Yu's father and son again, and after finalizing the wedding date on the eighth day of October, Yu Shinan asked him not to have dinner with him, and went to the backyard to meet Yu Xiu'er himself, but there was no rule against seeing each other before marriage.

In two lifetimes, Sun Xiangfu also experienced the feeling of love at first sight for the first time. In the past few days, that porcelain doll-like face always appeared in his mind, perhaps because of his puberty yearning for spring!Sun Xiangfu hasn't slept well recently.

In the flower hall in the backyard, Yu Xiu'er was playing and singing with her red pipa in her arms. The words she sang were exactly Sun Xiangfu's new works. Looking for the sound, Sun Xiangfu came here.

"Sister Xiu'er, I'm here to see you."

Yu Xiu'er was fascinated by playing and singing, but she didn't hear Sun Xiangfu's light footsteps. When Sun Xiangfu approached and spoke, she trembled her shoulders and raised her head. Looking at it, she felt that the whole world was so beautiful.

"Brother Sun." Yu Xiu'er said with a coquettish smile.

"Uh, just now I called your grandpa and grandpa and your father Lao Taishan in the front hall, do you want to call your husband to come and listen?"

Jiaohua melted Sun Xiangfu's heart, and his whole body became unrestrained, but in the eyes of strangers, these words were flirtatious words, but in the eyes of lovers, they were scorching words of love.

"Brother Sun is so shameless, Xiu'er hasn't been married yet!" Yu Xiu'er twisted her slender waist, and gave Sun Xiangfu a charming back view.

"Hehe, on the eighth day of next month, I will bring eight sedan chairs to the house to welcome you."

Sun Xiangfu's words made Yu Xiu'er's shoulders tremble again. Unexpectedly, after more than ten days, it would be her wedding date, and she felt anxious and looking forward to it.

Seeing Yu Xiuer shy and silent, Sun Xiangfu said again, "At that time, will Xiuer let my husband see a beautiful you?"

Yu Xiu'er's face turned even redder when she heard the words, and she replied in an inaudible whisper, "Yes."

When young lovers meet, they are like dry wood and fire. Sun Xiangfu has a very strong idea of ​​future generations. He believes that boyfriend and girlfriend should hug each other and kiss me. Therefore, when Sun Xiangfu put his arms around Yu Xiu'er, he was successfully caught by Yu's mother.

Embarrassed, blushing, Sun Xiangfu didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

"You guys, you're not married yet!" Mother Yu pointed at the two of them pretending to be angry, then turned and left.

She has already met her son-in-law, he is in great shape, good-looking, and has a bit of literary talent. The most important thing is that his daughter likes him, and that's enough. Virtue.

Sun Xiangfu couldn't imagine why Yu Xiu'er, who was only 15 years old after the new year, would be regarded as a leftover girl by others. In shame, Sun Xiangfu was dragged to his boudoir by Yu Xiuer.

Yu Xiuer's boudoir is an independent small courtyard, surrounded by green vines and some withered flowers and plants. After all, it has snowed in Chang'an City, and Sun Xiangfu doesn't know that the vegetables in the big sheds in Xingfu Village have been harvested. No, as for Xiadou, Sun Dali should organize people to harvest it.

There are two personal maids serving in the courtyard, one named Chuntao and the other named Hongmei, about fifteen or sixteen years old, very delicate in appearance, a little plumper than Yu Xiuer, if there is no accident, these two will be Yu Xiuer's from now on Dowry girl, Sun Xiangfu's concubine, of course, Sun Xiangfu didn't know this rule.

Just after entering the door, the two girls stared at Sun Xiangfu shyly, which made him feel embarrassed, but seeing the calligraphy and painting hanging in front of the bed in the boudoir, the topic of Sun Xiangfu came up again.

"These days, sister Xiu'er must be looking at calligraphy and painting every day, thinking of me!"

"Smelly."

Yu Xiu'er gave Sun Xiangfu a shy look, and then used the charcoal stove brought by Chuntao to help Sun Xiangfu make tea. Sun Xiangfu didn't like the tea soup made with animal oil, green onion, ginger, garlic and tea leaves very much, but he didn't interrupt her either. , and said, "In the future, Xiu'er will make tea for me to add fragrance, I'm afraid the days will be more beautiful than gods."

"Chuck..."

The maids Chuntao and Hongmei couldn't help laughing, the uncle's words were too hot and straightforward, and he didn't shy away from them.

"What are you laughing at, after getting married, I will send you two to warm your husband's bed first."

All right!Hearing Yu Xiu'er's coquettish voice, some images that shouldn't have appeared in Sun Xiangfu's mind, but he didn't know that Yu Xiu'er, who was ignorant of human affairs, only thought that using her body to warm the cold silk quilt was a tortured job.

The two maids usually get along with Yu Xiuer like sisters, so they are not afraid of her, sticking out their tongues, and retreated outside the house. After a while, Yu Xiuer brought a bowl of steaming fragrant tea to Sun Xiangfu.

"Usually, Xiu'er can only cook tea and read books at home, and fiddle with musical instruments?"

Sun Xiangfu forcefully dispelled the image of the three women entangled with him in his mind, looked at Yu Xiuer's boudoir, and found that there was nothing but musical instruments and books, so he said.

"That's why I sneaked out on Chongyang Day and met you, Brother Sun!"

"Don't call Brother Sun, call your husband to listen..."

"No, we'll call it after we get married..."

The two maids were not there, and the two let go a little more, flirting and flirting, unaware that the time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already westward, and Uncle De called the servants of the Yu Mansion to remind him that if Sun Xiangfu wanted to return If so, you have to hurry, otherwise the city will be closed at night. Although half of the Furong Garden belongs to Chang'an City, it is at the very corner of Chang'an, more than ten miles away from here!
Reluctantly saying goodbye to Yu Xiu'er, Sun Xiangfu drove back with Uncle De. On the way, Sun Xiangfu explained the date of marriage to Uncle De and asked him to arrange everything according to the rules.

In fact, getting married in Tang Dynasty was quite troublesome. It took at least one or two months to complete the procedures, such as Nacai, asking names, Najib, Nazheng, asking for a date, welcoming in person, etc., but with Li Shimin's intention to choose a date to get married, it can be done. greatly shortened.

In fact, only women from aristocratic families will do all the six rituals more solemnly when they get married. Sun Xiangfu's small family doesn't dare to be so particular about it. He doesn't have the financial resources, and he doesn't have the need. You only need to find a person of high morals and prestige, bring the dowry gift, and the first five ceremonies can be completed in one day, and you only need to wait for the eighth day of October to welcome the relatives and pay homage.
