Old Gong took me to lie down again and won [Rebirth]

For the lifelong event of his little grandson, Mr. An's heart was broken. The blind date introduced to An Jinyu this time was also carefully selected by Mr. An after careful consideration.

Du Siying, Miss Du's, is three years older than An Jinyu. This is actually an embarrassing age difference. People who don't care will think it's no big deal. Today's girls take good care of themselves, coupled with superb makeup skills, Let alone three years old, you may not be able to tell even if you are 13 years older, but if you change to a man who cares about his wife's age, he will feel that his wife is a day older than himself.

An Jinyu doesn't have that machismo mentality, and doesn't care whether her partner is older than herself, otherwise, an old man like Jin Peng who is ten years older than him would not even have the chance to get close to him.What An Jinyu was worried about was that the blind date arranged for him by the old man of the An family might become his sister-in-law in the future. Thinking about it, he felt embarrassed.

However, the old man of the An family didn't know what to think. He also thought that the little grandson and Miss Du's family were very suitable, and he was very interested in promoting this marriage.

An Jinyu almost wanted to kneel down to her grandfather, begging to let him go.

If it weren't for the fact that An Jinyu had promised the old man of the An family long ago, An Jinyu would have even had the urge to ignore it and run away, and go on a blind date with the woman who would become his sister-in-law in the future.

Fortunately, God probably heard An Jinyu's prayer, this embarrassment did not last long, and their destination was reached.

The old man of the An family brought An Jinyu to a private manor, completely imitating the design of Suzhou gardens, full of greenery, dotted with pavilions, pavilions and pavilions, nine winding corridors, one scene at a time, full of the charm of traditional Chinese freehand brushwork culture, with strange flowers Stone, accompanied by gurgling water, is refreshing and enlightening.

Since the reform and opening up, under the strong impact of Western culture, the aesthetics of Chinese people has become more westernized, and there is a kind of illusion that "the moon in foreign countries is relatively round". However, it was very novel for An Jinyu to be able to see a completely Chinese-style garden, but she also understood that such a garden showed the deep heritage of the owner's family, and it was by no means an ordinary wealthy family.

An Jinyu guessed correctly, the owner of this garden, the Du family, is the most prestigious family in S Province, none of them.As early as before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Du family had already prospered. At that time, Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty was in power. Just in time for the Taiping Rebellion, the Taiping Army captured Nanjing, and the salt road between Huaihe River and Huaihe River was cut off. Naturally, the salt tax could not be collected. As the saying goes , Salt is the first of all flavors, and the people in Lianghuai can't eat salt, and even have a life scene of "everyone eats lightly". Both merchants and residents are allowed to sell by themselves..."

In this way, for the first time in hundreds of years, the border of Anyin was broken, and the "Chuan Salt Relief to Chu" kicked off. The Du family was the first to develop the salt industry and became rich overnight because of it. One of the big merchant families.

According to the memories of the old man of the An family, after decades of development, the Du family quickly accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth. According to rumors, in the heyday of the Du family, it could be said to be incomparably rich, and the amount of wealth accumulated in their hands was so great that even the governor at that time was terrified. To such an extent, even a memorial was given to the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing court. Of course, the ancestors of the Du family understood the truth that money touches people's hearts. Many rare treasures were acquired, and the huge family business of the Du family was preserved.

Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, S province was located in the rear, free from the Japanese invaders, and the great warlord Feng Mou came here to develop a patriotic donation movement. , but he was equally patriotic, donated generously, and donated tens of millions, setting the highest record for individual donations in the country.

The Du family is very powerful and has been rooted in the province of S for many years. It has donated money to build many roads, bridges, academies and temples. Soon there was a comeback, but this time, the Du family could not return to their old business as a wealthy salt merchant, but turned to handicrafts.

The reason why the Du family dared to do this is because they really had such confidence.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the mother of the old man of the Du family, a famous beauty, not only beautiful, but also skillful. The mother of the old man of the Du family is surnamed Gong, and she is the inheritor of the famous Gong fan craftsmanship.

Gong fan is a kind of handicraft bamboo fan. The reason why it is called "Gong fan" is because the surname of its first producer is Gong. The tassels made of silk are exquisite and transparent. Because of their beautiful appearance and great ornamental and collection value, they once became the tribute of the Qing court.

Since ancient times, Chinese craftsmen have a tradition of passing on males but not females. However, because the Gong family was defeated and the descendants withered, only one daughter was left, which is the mother of the old man of the Du family. After the founding of New China, he strongly advocated equality between men and women. At that time, it was popular that women could hold up half the sky. In the face of the dilemma that there would be no successors to the ancestral craftsmanship, it seemed that it was not so important whether it was passed on from male to female.

Mrs. Gong, the mother of the old man of the Du family, learned this craft when she was young, but she didn't catch up with the good times. Traditional culture and traditional crafts were severely suppressed at that time. It was not until the reform and opening up that the country vigorously developed the economy and secretly promoted the revitalization of traditional culture. Granny Gong saw that the time was right, so she boldly showed her skills.

Gong fan can be called "one unique", definitely not for nothing. The production of a fan, the subtleties can be seen in the real chapter. From the beginning to the completion of the five parts, all of them are independently produced by the master producer, and every detail must be paid attention to. To achieve excellence.

After Mrs. Gong decided to make Gong Fan, she spent half a year compiling a fan of "Diao Chan Worshiping the Moon", which cleverly used the different characteristics of Gong Fan facing the light and against the light, so that the wisps of smoke in the fan seemed to be Seemingly nothing, subtle and mysterious, vividly on paper. Since then, Gong Fan has reappeared in the world and gained a great reputation at home and abroad. The Du family also took advantage of the trend and made a comeback.

Up to now, Mrs. Gong has passed away for many years, and there are still many legendary stories about her old man left in S Province, which are interesting to talk about.

The old man of the Du family does not know whether he has inherited the skill of making Gong fans from Mrs. Gong, but Ms. Du does have the ability to make Gong fans. It is said that Mrs. Gong liked this great-granddaughter very much when she was still alive, and took care of her with her since she was a child. Teach me, when Ms. Du's family became an adult, the old man of the Du family immediately let her take over the small studio for making Gong fans created by Mrs. Gong without saying a word. The production process is too complicated and must be made entirely by hand, but the profit is definitely not low. An Jinyu even suspects that the Du family did not expand the production of Gong fans in a hurry according to the market demand at home and abroad. The idea of ​​"rare things are more expensive", after all, no matter how precious handicrafts are, if there are so many of them on the street, they will definitely be worthless.

An Jinyu knew about the friendship between the old man of the An family and the old man of the Du family. But if the friendship is so good that they become relatives of their sons and daughters, isn't it afraid that the relationship between the two children will not go well after marriage?Maybe An Jinyu himself thought too much, but judging from his parents' experience, this is very likely to happen. Anyway, An Jinyu doesn't believe in the so-called family marriage at all.

The old man of the An family doesn't think so. Strictly speaking, the An family is still on the top of the list if he is married to the Du family.

People of the older generation firmly believe that there is a deep entanglement of interests between husband and wife, which is far more reliable than illusory feelings. Why bother living under one roof?If you have to live like his parents, it's better to let each other go.

The more An Jinyu thought about it, the more he felt that the old man of the An family's idea of ​​bringing him on a blind date was very unreliable, so he followed the old man of the An family silently all the way, without saying a word, and looked very well-behaved.

After entering the garden, I realized that there were several old men sitting in the pavilion. An Jinyu took a quick glance and found that the people sitting there were all well-known business tycoons from S Province. These people stomped their feet, and the whole S Province would tremble three times. shake.

In front of these old men, An Jinyu's seniority was so small that he didn't have the right to talk at all. He stood honestly behind the An family's old man, watching the An family's old man gossip and gossip with these old men.

An Jinyu knew most of the people present. After all, they were all big and prestigious families in S province. There were many gatherings both publicly and privately. Some were personal friendships, and some were tied to commercial interests. There are a lot of human contacts, and over time, even if you don't know each other, you can get acquainted.

To these old men, An Jinyu is a well-known and unfamiliar younger generation. The reason why he is unfamiliar is because An Jinyu has always been free and undisciplined, and spends his time eating, drinking and having fun with his group of cronies. Rarely attend these formal social gatherings.

"Old man An, this is your little grandson!" One of the old men with a goatee, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and a handsome old man looked at An Jinyu and commented with a smile: "That's right, he's quite a talent. "

Hearing this, An Jinyu smiled embarrassedly.

Someone next to him immediately echoed: "Speaking of which, the little guy looks a bit like that kid from the Su family."

"My nephew looks like my uncle. He does look like the boy from the Su family." The boy from the Su family that the old man said was not Su Meng, the eldest uncle of the Su family, but An Jinyu's younger uncle, Su Mu.

An Jinyu secretly looked at the expression of the old man of the An family, and saw that the old man still looked like an old god, so he was relieved. Hearing that the uncle of the Su family had a dispute with the old man of the An family in the early years, and the quarrel was quite ugly.The reason is that the old man of the An family allowed An Mingquan to bring the adopted son An Boyuan back to the old house of the An family. Su Mu was only in his early twenties at the time and was still studying in college. He was young and energetic and felt that the An family was deceiving too much. The mistress of the An family, Su Rui, even slapped the Su family in the face. Angrily, she ran to the old house of the An family to talk to the old man of the An family.

The old man of the An family was already guilty, and he felt even more embarrassed after being questioned by a junior, and his tone became heavier. The two quarreled, and finally broke up. At that time, Su Mu tried hard to encourage Su Rui to divorce, and put An Junchi and An Jinyu took An Jinyu back to Su's family for adoption, but Su Rui did not agree, and the siblings also had a rift because of this. Since then, Su Mu has never stepped into An's old house for more than ten years.

When the old man of the An family was still living in the old house of the An family, he didn't allow people around him to mention Su Mu at all, he would get angry when he mentioned it, and it would be easy to scold people bloody.An Jinyu was afraid that if Su Mu was mentioned so suddenly, the old man of the An family would be unable to restrain his anger.

I don't know if it's been too long, the old man of the An family figured it out, or he thought that this is the territory of the Du family, and it's not appropriate to cause more troubles. Anyway, the old man of the An family looked normal and didn't have any special reaction.
