On this day, not a single piece of the hundreds of pieces of satin material in front of Yufu's stall was sold, but Zhao Wushan's bad reputation spread throughout Tongcheng.
Even Yu Song was discussed a lot by people in the market.
People said why should he cling to such a poor scholar? He would never give up all his wealth to make wedding clothes for others.
Yu Weiyin returned home and explained in a few words in Liusongyuan.
As for how Zhao Wushan made a fool of himself and how he was ridiculed, she ignored them one by one and only comforted him with gentle words:
"Dad, my cousin Shan is a scholar. Naturally, he knows nothing about business. He usually only recites poems and composes poems. How could he understand the nuances of silk and satin? I guess he is still inexperienced, so he will cause such an incident. I will wait for him in the future.
With more experience, you will naturally become dad's right-hand man."
Yu Song didn't speak for a long while, his face darkened again and again.
Although others did not go to Xiangshi, they hoped in their hearts that Zhao Wushan, his nephew, could make a good name.
Yinyin went to Xiangshi, and he also sent two boys to the Flower Temple to watch. The two boys had already imitated Zhao Wushan's embarrassing deeds, especially because of Zhao Wushan, the head of the Yu Mansion.
He was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven!
Now, seeing that there was no trace of resentment on Yinyin's face, she still spoke for Zhao Wushan so considerately.
Yu Song couldn't help but let out a long sigh, caressed his daughter's shoulders and said:
"Yinyin, you don't have to hide it from dad. Dad knows everything that happened in Xiangshi today. Wu Shan is really embarrassed. You must have suffered a lot from being around him today!"
In the busy and noisy Xiangshi market, in the corridors with constant flow of people, a girl as ambitious as his daughter listened to everyone laughing and scolding without saying a word. He couldn't imagine how she could survive!
The more I thought about it, the angrier my chest became, and the angrier it became, the more painful it became. I couldn't help but feel more and more sorry for my daughter.
"Wu Shan, this kid, really disappointed me this time. Maybe my father made a mistake. If he acts like this, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future, and he will not be able to support Yongxing Silk and Satin Factory. Maybe... you and him
Dad needs to think about the marriage again."
Having said this, Yu Song felt very guilty.
Holding her daughter's hand, she said in a deep voice, "Yinyin, don't blame dad. My actions today really make dad worried. I'm afraid that if you follow him, you may not be stable in the future."
Yu Weiyin nodded, and his father finally understood.
She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and tears welled up in her eyes, sparkling like jade beads.
"Dad, my daughter doesn't blame you, she only blames cousin Wushan for failing to live up to dad's expectations..."
Seeing her eyes were red, Yu Song couldn't bear it and asked again:
"Yinyin, tell dad, do you have feelings for me? If you fall in love with him, alas, he will be a helpless man, and dad will have to pave the way for him."
Yu Weiyin held back her tears and said word by word:
"Dad, you are overthinking. My daughter only has a brother-sister relationship with her cousin, and has no relationship between man and woman. It is just because her father really likes him that she takes more care of her cousin. Now that her father has to worry about her daughter's marriage, her daughter's heart
I have an idea that I want to express to my father."
Yu Song said: "If you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Yu Weiyin then said: "Everyone in Tongcheng, rich or poor, knows that my cousin and my sister are cooking rice. My sister has lived in the Yu Mansion for a long time, which may damage her reputation. My daughter thinks that while the New Year is celebrating, it is better to keep her sister.
The marriage with my cousin Wushan was arranged together, and it was settled, but there was a big thing on my father's mind."
Yu Song was overjoyed after hearing this.
This was indeed a major matter on his mind, and he even said a few good words at that moment, beaming with joy.
"Yinyin! You are indeed my good daughter! You don't know, this matter has always been on my father's mind, and he is always tossing and turning at night. Thinking of Chu Tian's question about my partiality, my father feels really sad! Dad just
I hope that your sisters can live in harmony, so there is nothing else to ask for. However, if it comes to your sister’s marriage, how do you think dad will arrange it?”
Yu Weiyin thought for a moment and said: "My father has the final say in terms of wealth, including gold, silver and jewelry. It doesn't matter if I give up more silks and satins. However, my father must not touch the Yu Mansion's house deeds, land deeds, silk and satin shop and embroidery shop."
Thinking of her father's feelings for Yu Chutian, she felt that she had done her best to achieve this step.
But if they don't get out in time, she will never show mercy.
Yu Song nodded with a smile and asked, "That's great. It's just in time for our family to have a reunion dinner during the Chinese New Year, so we can tell the whole family about this, how about it?"
Yu Weiyin silently agreed.
On New Year's Eve, there was a strong wind and snow, and the Yu Mansion was filled with red lanterns, which were as bright as day.
The hall of Liusongyuan, with tables, couches, chairs, and gauze curtains, has long been completely renewed under Yu Weiyin's arrangements. The large round table with black lacquer, gold, and colorful paintings and carvings is filled with wine, food, and delicacies, and the aroma is wafting through the nose.
Silver chopsticks, small cups inlaid with silver, and white jade bowls are all arranged.
At the usual New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Song would invite Zhuang Liebing to the table. This year, due to his first wife's illness, he was still stranded in Li County, so he asked Zhao Wushan and Duan Lang to serve at the table to increase their popularity.
Sitting on the left and right of Yu Song were Yu Weiyin and Mr. Liang.
Ms. Liang wore a plain white robe and a dark blue skirt and jacket. Although she wore a fur coat, it still did not cover her slightly bulging abdomen.
After finally coming out of Huixiang Pavilion, she deliberately wanted to please Yu Song, so she was busy at the table, either serving Yu Song's dishes or greeting everyone diligently. Her quiet face, lightly rouged, contained a virtuous and friendly smile.
, making it difficult to connect this face with what she did.
Yu Weiyin smiled casually, without any trace of resentment on his face.
Yu Song felt relieved.
During the banquet, the maids put on tea and fruit snacks, and Yu Song took a sip of West Lake Longjing before speaking solemnly.
Seeing his serious expression, everyone did not dare to joke or laugh for a while, but they all listened respectfully.
Yu Song said: "Wu Shan is a good nephew. I want to arrange his marriage as soon as possible."
When Zhao Wushan heard this, he wiped away the depression he had felt after returning from Xiangshi, and his face suddenly became filled with joy.
"Uncle, my nephew also thinks it's time to get married. Otherwise, the long nights and dreams will really make my nephew feel uneasy."
As he spoke, he looked at Yu Weiyin, "My nephew's sincerity towards his cousin Yinyin is astonishing. After marrying Yinyin, my nephew will definitely love Yinyin like a jewel and will not dare to disobey her at all."
Yu Song swept his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shan, what I mean is to arrange your marriage to Chu Tian."
"Wha, what?"
Zhao Wushan was suddenly startled, as if struck by lightning, and could not speak for a long time, "Aunt, uncle, are you kidding your nephew?"
"I'm not kidding you, I just want you to get married to Chu Tian." Yu Song said.
After Yu Chutian heard this, he looked at his father in disbelief.
"Dad? What on earth is going on?"
Yu Song glanced at her.
Seeing that she was wearing an azure cotton shirt and a moon-white skirt and jacket, with her hair neatly tied up in a bun, a blush suddenly appeared on her pale face, so she said:
"Chu Tian, dad has been thinking about it for a long time, thinking that since you and Wu Shan are already married, it would be more appropriate to marry him as your wife. You are a concubine and your mother is a concubine, so you can't be a concubine, right?"
