"How could I not remember that?" Su Wenyue retorted when she heard Han Yu's words. Seeing Han Yu's understanding look, she changed her tone and said, "It is a little bit. After all, you are so busy every day. It is just a small matter. It is normal that you can't remember it."
"Your affairs are big matters to me. Don't think like that in the future. If I haven't done something for you for a long time, there must be a reason. You can also ask directly. Don't keep it in your heart and think about it, otherwise I will punish you." Han Yu said as he used a little force and pinched his wife's smooth face. It seemed like a punishment, but he found that the flesh on his wife's face seemed to be getting less and less, and he was very dissatisfied.
"Why have you lost weight again? Are you too tired these days?" Han Yu said with a frown. He liked his wife's plump appearance, which made her look healthy and blessed. Especially after she gave birth, he tried his best to feed her to gain weight, but it seemed to be ineffective. Now he was so busy these days that he lost weight instead.
"In the future, just let the servants do the household chores. There's no need to do it all by yourself. It's not worth it to tire yourself out."
"I know, but this is the first time. I was afraid that the servants wouldn't be able to do it well, so I went to do it myself. Once it becomes a routine, I can naturally ask the servants to do it. Besides, these things aren't too tiring."
"You're busy all day and aren't you tired? The doctor told you to take good care of yourself, but you just don't listen." Han Yu was a little angry, but also helpless about his wife's personality. Why did she like to worry so much? He was busy all day and had no time to keep an eye on her, so he had to turn around and tell Nanny Li.
After Han Yu said this, he did not allow Su Wenyue to go to the kitchen. Seeing that his wife was still not behaving well, he simply carried her to the bed. They had been busy these days and had not been intimate for some days, so things got bad after some quarrels.
Li Ma Ma originally thought that Madam had told her to wait for the kitchen matters, but no one came for a long time, so she wanted to ask a few questions. When she heard the noise inside while standing at the door, her old face blushed a little, but she was happy to see that Master and Madam had a good relationship. After all, Master is now a higher official, and he is no longer the country man that people look down on. Looking around, those who are slightly powerful all have three wives and four concubines in the backyard. I don't know what Master will be like in the future. I hope Madam can keep Master in a cage and don't let those vixens take advantage of the situation.
It was already evening when Su Wenyue woke up. She moved her aching body and gritted her teeth, "This bastard told her to take good care of herself and not to tire herself out, but in the end, he tortured her to death instead."
"How are the three little guys? They're not making any noise, they're pretty good." The first thing Su Wenyue did when she woke up was to ask about the three little guys. To be honest, she had been so busy these days that she had neglected the three little guys. Although she still interacted with them every day, she had much less time to accompany them. Fortunately, the three little guys were well behaved and seldom cried or made any noise.
"It's fine. The master is playing with the young master and young lady over there."
When Su Wenyue heard what Nanny Xu said, a smile appeared on her face and she asked about things in the kitchen.
"Don't worry, Madam. You have already given instructions for the kitchen. Since Madam doesn't have time, I will ask them to do as Madam instructed. I think there won't be any problems."
When Su Wenyue heard what Li Ma said, especially the part about not having time, she really wasn't that thick-skinned and her face turned a little red. It was all Han Yu's fault, in broad daylight.
Two days later, the jewelry that Su Wenyue had asked someone to make in the city was finished. Several craftsmen delivered it personally. Su Wenyue took a look and found it quite exquisite. It was considered the best craftsmanship in the city. They were all made according to her original drawing, without any mistakes. It was obvious that a lot of thought went into it. However, after seeing the hairpin given by Han Yu, Su Wenyue always felt that these jewelry lost their vitality and became too artificial. Everything is afraid of comparison, and the good and the bad will be immediately apparent with comparison.
After the jewelry was made, Su Wenyue did not send it to her two cousins immediately. Instead, she waited for the master craftsman to come and hear what he had to say. Calculating the time, it would arrive in two days.
Su Wenyue arranged for the other three gold and silversmiths invited by Han Yu to live in a courtyard. The old master Su Wenyue had marked out a small courtyard for himself. Fortunately, the courtyard was big enough and there was no need to worry about not having to live in it. Even so, there were still several empty courtyards.
Although the old master was difficult to invite, he did not put on airs since he was here. Su Wenyue was prepared. After all, people with some skills tend to be more or less arrogant. But the old man she met was a kind one, but not too old, about fifty years old. His hair was completely white, but his face looked young, he was energetic, and his steps were light. It was obvious that he knew kung fu and practiced internal strength.
The master craftsman's surname is Cao and his given name is Tan. He is obsessed with his skills and has little desire for fame and fortune. Otherwise, he would not have been content to remain unknown despite his unique skills and has been working for the Zhang family. If nothing had happened to the Zhang family this time, Su Wenyue would not have gotten such an easy chance.
Master Cao himself did not have high requirements, and Su Wenyue showed the utmost sincerity to Master Cao. After Master Cao had his fill, he felt that working for the Han family was a good choice. He had good food and drink, and could do what he liked every day without having to worry about anything else. He had been unwilling to rely on another master's family before, but it was because Grandpa Zhang had done him a favor. Now that Grandpa Zhang's descendants had spoken, this favor was exchanged, and he could devote himself to his skills without any scruples.
"Master Cao, these are a few sets of jewelry that I asked someone to make a few days ago. I would like to ask you to take a look at them." Su Wenyue said as she motioned for the maid to bring the jewelry up and open it.
When Master Cao saw the jewelry in the box, he picked it up and examined it carefully without saying a word. His technique was different from the way most people hold jewelry. It looked easy and careless, but the jewelry would not be damaged at all.
After Master Cao looked at the jewelry, he nodded and shook his head: "The styles of these jewelry are really good. I don't know which master designed them. Even I have to admire them. However, the craftsmanship needs to be improved. These jewelry look exquisite, but some parts are not well constructed. So they can only be exquisite. They have lost their spirit and become too artificial. They cannot be considered successful."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Master Cao spoke matter-of-factly, and the last sentence was consistent with Su Wenyue's point of view. Su Wenyue nodded and said, "Thank you Master Cao for your appreciation. I designed the pattern of this jewelry myself. In fact, after seeing the hairpin made by Master Cao, I had the same idea. I felt that this hairpin was exquisite, but it lacked some spirituality."
Master Cao originally regarded Su Wenyue as just an ordinary master and had no intention of looking at her differently. At most, he thought that Su Wenyue was a more tolerant mistress. But when he heard that the jewelry was designed by Su Wenyue, his eyes changed.
