Although I slept late last night, I still had to get up early to wish them a happy new year. Dabao woke up early in the morning and got up to wish them a happy new year, "Dad, Happy New Year, Daddy."
Wang Yu patted his head and gave him a red envelope: "Happy New Year, Dabao too."
Then the three of them went to pay New Year's greetings to Wang's father and mother. Dabao received another red envelope. He happily gave it to Cheng Chen and asked him to keep it well, as it was full of money.
The servants in the house also came forward to wish him a happy new year and said auspicious words to ask for good luck. Wang Yu was also very happy and gave each of them a red envelope as a token of his appreciation.
The first day of the new year is the day when officials in the capital visit each other. Wang Yu asked people to prepare gifts. In addition to those for Song Boyan and Chen Yanwen, there was also a gift for Mr. Xie, the Hanlin scholar, Zhang Siyuan, Cui Hao, and Ling Chufeng of Lanjuge. Of course, they all received return gifts.
But the most special thing was Ling Chufeng's return gift, which was a very beautiful and sharp dagger. Wang Yu liked it very much and felt that this man was worthy of being a man of the world. The gifts he gave were all unique. Others basically gave the four treasures of the study, snacks, tea, wine and the like.
On the first day of the new year, Song Boyan was going to pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Lan. Chen Yanwen was still in the palace, so after Wang Yu sent someone to deliver the gifts, she had nothing else to do and stayed at home to accompany her husband and Dabao.
Dabao is over three years old. Wang Yu is slowly teaching him to recognize words. He can already count from one to one hundred and knows about a hundred simple words. Wang Yu is now writing words on paper to teach him to recognize them.
"Come, Dabao, follow Daddy and read, God."
"Heaven." Dabao also obediently learned to read it out like Wang Yu. Dabao still liked learning to read with his father.
When Cheng Chen came in with snacks and tea, he saw Wang Yu saying that one Dabao was reading a book to the other. The two were studying seriously at the desk with smiles on their faces. He did not disturb them, put down the snacks and picked up a book to read. Such a day was undoubtedly warm and beautiful.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Yanwen brought the princess to see Wang Yu, as well as Song Boyan's family. The three men went to the study.
Cheng Chen and his family were sitting in the main house with their children. There was a floor heating in the house. Several children were sitting on the carpet playing with toys, building blocks and cars made by Wang Yu for them, and Huo Yi was watching them from the side.
It was the first time for Cheng Chen and Qin Wan to meet the princess, so they were a little nervous. Fortunately, the princess was cheerful and approachable. She took the initiative to start a conversation, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious after a while.
"I had heard from my husband that the clothes in the shop were beautifully made. After I received the clothes, they were really beautiful and I liked them very much."
Cheng Chen organized his words and replied, "As long as the princess likes it, I'm glad. I also want to thank the two embroiderers she sent. Their craftsmanship is really good. If the princess likes it, I will send two more sets of clothes to the princess's mansion later."
At first, Cheng Chen would never say such words. The princess's clothes were all made by the embroiderers in the palace, and the fabrics and craftsmanship were the best.
It was just that the princess sent two people that time, and in order to thank the princess, he made two sets of clothes and sent them over. He didn't expect the princess to like them so much. After getting to know her, he felt that the princess was kind, so he dared to ask for this.
The princess said happily, "Okay, then it's settled. Achen must be delivered."
Cheng Chen also nodded with a frown, "Okay, I will do it well."
Qin Wan is just like her name, she has a gentle personality and is silent most of the time, but when asked, she will answer gently and her words make people feel comfortable.
Princess: "Do you like reading storybooks?"
The two nodded hurriedly, "I like it."
They are all literate and can read. Influenced by her father, Qin Wan also studied the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, but she is a girl after all, so she also likes to read some storybooks and travelogues. Cheng Chen learned to read later, and read storybooks and travelogues the most.
The relationship between the three of them became more harmonious because they had a common topic.
The princess said, "I have collected many vernacular novels. I will have them sent to you later."
Cheng Chen and Qin Wan's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they nodded happily.
In the study, Chen Yanwen was asking Song Boyan and Wang Yu to help him. Chen Yanwen took out a book and handed it to Wang Yu, asking him if he had read it.
Wang Yu took it, opened it, and saw the beautiful small calligraphy with hairpin flowers. He admired it for a moment before starting to read the main text.
The first line read, "The Monkey King is Born," and the main text reads, "Overseas there is a country called Aolai, which is close to the sea. On the sea there is a famous mountain called Huaguo Mountain..."
Wang Yu's forehead jumped when he saw this, and the words on his lips suddenly came out, "Journey to the West?"
Chen Yanwen excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Yu, and said, "Brother Wang, have you read Journey to the West?"
Wang Yu nodded silently. It seemed that this Journey to the West was also created by that person. He just didn't know what Chen Yanwen was doing with it. He asked, "What's wrong with this book?"
"This is a story the late emperor told the princess, and the princess compiled it, but many chapters are missing, and some plots are incomplete. She said the late emperor couldn't remember it completely either. Later, she found many people who didn't know the story. I happened to see it, and she asked me to ask about it."
Uh... Wang Yu was speechless. It turned out that such an awesome person also had things he didn't know. However, he could indeed recite Journey to the West from memory. He might have forgotten some plots over the years, but the four great classics were in the study in his space.
"I have indeed read it. Please leave the book here and I will fill in the contents and give it to you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yanwen said happily, "Well, Xiuzhi is indeed well-read. I've read this book and it's very well written. The plot is fascinating and wonderful."
Wang Yu nodded and thought to himself, how could the Four Great Classics be bad? The quality of this book is not only reflected in the plot, but also in its cultural value, philosophical value, and artistic value. It is an immortal treasure.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
