I opened a bookstore in ancient times

The Fu family's old house was in Chong'anfang, where honorable persons gathered in the old capital, not far from the old Beijing government office, but Fu Ling still didn't walk with Su Yao, and the Fu family sent out a carriage to pick them up.

Tomorrow is the birthday of Fu Ling's little nephew, so Su Yao and Fu Ling will go one day earlier.

It was a sunny day, and the autumn sun was always lazy and gentle, warming the surroundings.

Fu Ling untied Su Yao's cloak and smiled, "You're just so nervous."

Of course Su Yao was nervous.

Especially after agreeing with Fu Ling that this time, he will stay at Fu's house for two days first.

"The bookstore is under renovation, and there is a lot of dust. I didn't stop it. It was Pei Yi who said, try not to go."

Fu Ling hugged Su Yao and leaned against him, "Just going home, I won't go home for a long time, and my third aunt also wants to keep me for a few days. Are you so disgusted?"

"I really don't have disgust. I'm just worried that it's too disturbing." Su Yao felt slightly uneasy.

Fu Ling then smiled: "The Fu family has nothing else, but the house has a lot of yards. The old house has a separate small courtyard for me, which is very quiet. We only live for a day, and we will go back when the bookstore is no longer busy. "

Su Yao nodded.

We will see each other sooner or later, so don't be afraid.

Speaking of which, his relatives here are all close relatives, and they don't see each other once a year, which is tantamount to not communicating with each other.

Su Yao himself didn't recognize him, and there was nothing to see.

But on Fu Ling's side, there is such a big family, at least they have to say something.

Fu Ling told him again: "In the old house in the old Beijing, now there are only my three uncles, three aunts, and some younger brothers and sisters. The rest are in office or taking care of business outside. You don't have to worry."

The Fu family does have prosperous descendants, so it's fine if there are many single people. What's rare is that the sons and nephews are all promising, and the family style is strict, so that they can support the family for a long time.

Most of the Fu family were civil servants, but Fu Gezi's third uncle was a military general, and his third aunt was also the daughter of a general. Because of his meritorious service in the frontier during the former emperor's time, he was seriously injured, so he stayed in the old capital to take care of the family business.

Su Yao originally thought that the couple should be heroic and majestic people, but when they met each other, they found that their faces and temperament were exceptionally kind.

Especially the third aunt, with a standard oval face, long eyebrows and big eyes, and her facial features are all correct and generous. She has the heroic spirit of a general and is capable, but she is also kind and generous.

Temperament is also very refreshing.

"I heard earlier that Boss Su is a very handsome young man. Now that I meet him, I believe it."

Mrs. Fu held Su Yao's arm, beaming, "Ling'er told us earlier that we only thought he was dreaming as a log who hadn't enlightened for many years, but it turned out to be true."

Su Yao thanked her, and felt a little embarrassed: "I should have come to visit the Third Marquis and his wife earlier, but I have been ill all the time, so I didn't dare to come because I was afraid of disturbing the family."

"It's important for you to take care of yourself, these are all trivial matters."

Mrs. Fu San smiled, "I'm also worried, Ling'er's temperament can't take care of you well, and you're outside, and the food and medicine are not complete, so it's better to stay at home for two days."

He said earnestly again: "It just so happens that the farm has newly sent pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, quails, ducks, pigeons, and two big geese. I also bought a deer, all kinds of fish, and crabs. It's time to get fat , you want to eat..."

Mrs. Fu San was really enthusiastic.

In a few words, I chatted with Su Yao about home-cooked food.

It's just that the Fu family has a large food reserve and a large house.

Mrs. Fu San is an elder, so she shouldn't have come out to pick it up, but she has always been impatient, and she was very happy because the pigs that had been pigs for many years finally brought back the cabbage, so she went out of the yard to pick them up.

Before seeing her, Su Yao really walked for a long time.

Corridor to corridor, flowers and trees scattered here and there, Fu Ling gave him a hand: "Are you tired from walking?"

"It's okay." Su Yao said softly, then withdrew his hand again, "They're all human."

The servants of the Fu family are very well-behaved, they walk steadily and lightly, and never look around.

Fu Ling wanted to support him: "You can do it outside, why do you feel shy when you get home?"

Su Yao had no choice but to let him support him all the way, and when he saw Mrs. Fu, she replaced her with Mrs. Fu's arm.

Fu Ling was left behind.

Mrs. Fu was also very concerned: "Looking at your complexion, you probably haven't recovered yet. Let's take a good rest today. I also asked Dr. Pei that tomorrow's banquet will be all dishes you can eat. Eat more , you're welcome here."

Su Yao responded, and went to the main hall while speaking.

There is a room full of people in the main hall.

As soon as Su Yao entered, everyone stood up except Fu Sanhou who was in the middle.

Mrs. Fu San only smiled and said: "They are all younger than Ling'er. The older ones are not in Beijing to prepare for the spring, but they are in office. I won't be here today. See you later."

He waved for someone to sit down again.

Fu Ling asked Su Yao to meet Fu Sanhou.

Fu Sanhou has the same kind eyebrows and kind eyes, just like a man walking a bird on the street. When he is not smiling, he still has a bit of mighty heroism.

He is a Confucian general.

Naturally, he exchanged pleasantries with Fu Ling first, and then looked at Su Yao, only gentleness remained: "Mr. Su, you must be tired after walking all the way. I originally said that I don't want to meet here, but Madam said, it's the first time we meet." , it would be impolite to arrange it elsewhere."

He looked at Mrs. Fu San again: "What shall I say, etiquette does not matter to anyone's health?"

Lord Fu Sanhou is very close to his wife.

It is a kind of intimacy and nature that has been with each other for most of their lives.

Su Yao hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter. This house is very beautiful. I'll take a fancy to it all the way. I won't be tired."

"If you like it, you can stay for two more days." Mrs. Fu became enthusiastic again, "If you like any flowers in the yard, I will also ask someone to move them to your yard."

Su Yao was polite, and Fu Ling helped him to sit down, and then he joked casually, and Fu Sanhou said with a smile: "You also come to see Mr. Su."

There are about a dozen people in the main hall, not counting the girls behind the gauze screen.

Su Yao was considered a guest, so the young female family members did not show up directly.

When Su Yao first entered the door, he felt that the whole room was overwhelmed.Really being in it, there is a strange intimacy.

Very comfortable intimacy.

Su Yao could feel that the Fu family was really happy that Fu Dage could get married.

The greeting starts with the oldest one.

It's Fu Ling's sixth younger brother whose son's birthday will be celebrated tomorrow.

He and Fu Ling only have a two-thirds portrait, but he is very similar to Fu Sanhou. He came up to salute first: "Mr. Su is polite."

Su Yao was about to get up, but Fu Sanhou smiled and said, "Mr. Su, don't move. They are all young, so you should sit with Ling'er and be an elder brother."

Fu Gezi's sixth younger brother was also extraordinarily upbeat, with raised eyebrows and eyes: "Father said that, in a few days, I will change my name and call my brother, Mr. Su, don't get up."

Su Yao couldn't help being embarrassed, and chatted with him, and saw him take out a rosewood box: "This is a gift for Mr. Su, a pair of concentric locks. Time is tight, and the work is rough, Mr. Su, don't be disgusted. "

He glanced at Fu Ling again with a smile: "Brother, don't be disgusted either."

Fu Ling nodded and smiled: "You have a heart."

Su Yao thanked her and accepted it.

This is what Fu Dagezi said. New members who join the big family will receive a wave of things first.Everything will be given to those who have a family and a career, so Su Yao should not refuse.

This gift is very meaningful, and refusing to accept the gift at this time is almost the same as refusing to marry.

At that time, Su Yao only asked: "Then should I prepare something and give it to them?"

Fu Ling then smiled: "As for the meeting gift, I have already helped to deliver it. You don't have to feel bad, stones can be exchanged for gold."

Su Yao didn't care about these gains and losses, but after receiving a round of gifts, he realized deeply what Fu Ling called "exchanging gold".

Let's not talk about the younger generation. Although Uncle Fu Ling's generation is not there, they still send things.

It is no exaggeration to say that each piece is priceless.

Tomorrow is the birthday of Fu Dagezi's little nephew. Su Yao met everyone, and when he returned to his room, he marveled all afternoon.

This small cross courtyard is very elegant, just like the one in Dongshan, the courtyard is full of green bamboos, but it looks older and taller.

Fu Ling put his arms around him: "Do you like concentric locks the most?"

It's not that Su Yao likes concentric locks, but this one is the cheapest one.

Two gold cleats buckled together.

Two large pieces of yellow and heavy gold.

Not to mention the workmanship, it is extremely fine, and the patterns are all unique double crane piercing clouds.

Another brother of the same generation gave a pair of jade bottles.

Of Hetian jade, the two cranes carved from Qingbaizi jade are exquisite and correct.

Another peer gave a pair of Dongzhu, which are very, very, very big.

Fu Ling weighed it and commented: "It's too heavy, it can only be placed at home."

Su Yao didn't dare to put it at home, and stared at the bed in a daze.

These objects are still limited, but they are only a little more expensive, and the things of the elders are really valuable and have no market.

Su Yao unfolded a painting of phoenixes and phoenixes, and looked at the inscription, surprised: "Is this really the painting of Liao Yuan and Liao?"

"Yes, it's printed here."

Fu Ling pointed it out to him, but Su Yao had an unbelievable expression on his face: "But Mr. Liao has been dead for decades, hasn't he?"

Fu Ling raised his eyebrows: "My fourth aunt is his granddaughter, and the warehouse at home is full of these things. So you like Mr. Liao? If you like me, let me tell you..."

"No, no, no, no."

Su Yao still remembers the fact that a certain old prince in Beijing begged a lot for a painting of Master Liao, but he couldn't buy it at all.

What Fu Dage said was like picking it up by hand.

Fu Dagezi's Fifth Uncle's family was even more remarkable, and sent a piano, the famous "Xi Sheng", which was made by Yan Zhi, a reclusive Guochao music master.

There are probably not many in this world.

Fu Ling smiled: "My fifth uncle was in charge of the family's business in the Western Regions, and accidentally rescued Mr. Yan from bandits. He and Mr. Yan became friends, and it was only a matter of a word. You used to say you could play, and it just so happened. Play."

Su Yao opened his eyes again.

I wish I could hide it and maintain it six or seven times a day, and play it.

Seeing his childish appearance, Fu Ling couldn't help itching, hugged Su Yao and kissed him on the cheek: "Are you so rare about these things?"

Su Yao sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Your Fu family is really amazing."

Fu Ling approached him: "I'm the most powerful of the Fu family."

Said unscrupulous words again.

Su Yaoteng blushed, only pushed him, and was held in Fu Gezi's arms again.

Fu Gezi said in a low voice: "What's important about things, these are all thoughts."

This thought is too precious.

This can add up to one hundred and eighty Su Yao's stores.

Su Yao could only sigh again: "Your family is too rich."

Fu Gezi picked up his face and pecked: "It's our family."

Su Yao finally blushed, and said softly, "What about the marriage?"

Mentioning this, Fu Gezi drooped his eyebrows again: "It's just hard to say."

Up to now, Fu Ling and Su Yao have already figured out the way, and there is only a matter of etiquette.It is this etiquette that is quite time-consuming.

Fu Dagezi once asked, what the Fu family's three uncles and three aunts meant was to arrange for spring to start in March next year.

Fu Dage is not happy.

Pigeon's third aunt embroidered a pair of knee pads: "You are the only one who is in a hurry when it comes to finishing touches. How come I didn't see you in the past?"

Fu Gezi was wronged: "I haven't met Su Yao before."

"I see that Ren is a rare and well-behaved child, let alone a sloppy marriage."

The third aunt compared the kneepad to the third uncle Fu's leg, "It's the next thing to lose face to our Fu family; the key is not to wrong him."

"Xiao Su has only married you once in her life. Naturally, everything must be the best, the most lovable, and the most rare. Otherwise, when you get married in the future, how will people think of you?"

Fu Gezi only said: "A Yao is not such a person."

Uncle Fu then scolded him: "It's because he's not such a person that you should think more about him. I see, this kid has a really good temper, he doesn't fight or grab, and he doesn't even ask for anything. He is extremely upright. He doesn't have a competent elder around him, which is very distressing. If you kidnap someone, you should be careful about everything."

Fu Gezi felt that after seeing this side of the elder group, their favorability for Su Yao soared.

There is no problem with the soaring favorability.

Don't affect the wedding date.

Fu Gezi discussed again: "Can't it be earlier?"

"I just scolded you for not being able to take care of people because of your temper. Isn't this a ready-made example?"

The third aunt got a tiger's head patch, "Even this year, now it's September, and it's getting colder and colder. You'd like to marry in a snowy day, but I don't want Xiao Su to suffer the cold with you."

"March is just right, the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, neither cold nor hot. There is enough time. Your things are as big as beds, cabinets, table cases, as small as curtains, tablecloths, cups, dishes, and dishes. I want to make new ones. Yes, you can do it carefully. You can also ask Xiao Su, you two seem to be picky."

The words of the third uncle and aunt of the Fu family moved Fu Gezi both emotionally and rationally.

Fu Dagezi is a picky person with his eyes above his head. Taking advantage of this time, he chose all the stores in Jiujing.

So much so that in the spring of the following year, the Fu family’s exquisite and ostentatious wedding was full of admiration for several months in the old capital. To borrow a gossip, it was called "the red tassels on the lanterns under the corridor are all picked out by the Biba family." Yes, it’s easy to see at a glance.”

But these are of course a later story.

Right now, Fu Dage is still a little reluctant.

Su Yao touched his hand: "The wedding date arranged by the third uncle and the third aunt is reasonable. If the lintel of the Fu family is not done carefully, it is a joke for outsiders."

Su Yao's smooth fingertips rested on Fu Gezi's wrist, and Fu Gezi felt a little itchy again.

The big pigeon felt aggrieved for a moment: "But I can't..."

The last few words were muttered, but Su Yao didn't hear clearly: "Can't what?"

The big pigeon was even more pitiful, looked at Su Yao pitifully, and said in a low voice, "But I can't have a bridal chamber with you."

Su Yao paused, his ears turned red.

The big pigeon held Su Yao's hand: "I want you, but I have to wait until next year."

The autumn wind rises and falls, blowing the green bamboos in the yard rustling.

Su Yao's mood fluctuated, he was silent for a while, and then whispered: "...you don't have to wait until next year."

Fu Gezi is a serious fiancé, and Su Yao has no objection to pre-marriage.

When he said this, Fu Dagezi was taken aback for a moment.

As soon as Su Yao raised his eyes, he saw the pigeon rushing up, hugging his waist, and pressing him on the bed at once, he was very pleasantly surprised: "Is it really possible?"

Fu Dage's breath hit Su Yao's face, and Su Yao's breath was intertwined with his, and couldn't help but feel a little hot for a while.

But Su Yao was more sober than him.

This afternoon, with the bright sun outside, Su Yao stretched out his hand to push him awkwardly: "It doesn't matter next year, nor does it mean now..."

Fu Ling held Su Yao's wrist and clasped it on the couch again: "Then what time did you say?"

Su Yao paused, Fu Ling bowed his head first, and kissed him lightly, with a narrow smile in his eyes: "When did you say that? If you don't speak well, I'll kiss you."
