Judging from the box, this gift is extremely valuable.
Wild geese migrate north and south to balance yin and yang, and because they are extremely loyal, they are indispensable in betrothal gifts.
There are differences between geese. The pair of geese sent by Situ Wang were strong and lively, with their eyes rolling around as they looked at Master Han.
If his mouth wasn't tied with a red rope, he would probably have shouted a greeting.
Besides the geese, other gifts were also given, all of good quality: a bolt of red silk, a bolt of black silk, two jars of clear wine, a handful of each of the five kinds of grain, a set of gold head ornaments, a pair of jade bracelets, and a pair of gold locks.
This box of betrothal gifts was not as expensive as those from the wealthy, but it showed the great care put into it. Because of the jade bracelet, even a straight man like Master Han felt that it was a perfect match for his daughter.
Master Han was very pleased, not because he was greedy. The size of the betrothal gift and whether it was carefully crafted reflected the importance the husband's family attached to the bride.
His fear of marrying off his daughter eased a little.
.
"Master, is everything going well?"
"Everything goes well. You can just wait to be the groom on May 22nd." As soon as Situ Wang entered the bedroom, he was blocked by Situ Yue who was absent-mindedly reading a book.
"Thank you, Master."
Situ Wang put his hands behind his back and said, "Your marriage is my responsibility. But... can you tell me the truth? Why is Miss Han not yet sixteen?"
"If she were sixteen, she would have been married off to another man." Situ Yue didn't know whether his master was making fun of his age or teasing Han Dai for his young age, so he didn't give a direct answer.
"That's true. Don't bully such a young girl when she marries you!" Situ Wang warned.
That charming little face appeared in Situ Yue's mind, and she thought to herself that he could never bear to let her go.
"Understood, Master."
"Well," Situ Wang took the book from Situ Yue's hand, "the great task has been accomplished. I wonder if you have slacked off in your studies over the years. I will test you."
Situ Yue: “…”
He suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by his teacher.
"Master, this is a travelogue."
Situ Wang flipped through the book casually and said, "Change of scenery, this is a good book. Bring me some pen and ink and paint for me."
Situ Yue:!
The two of them fiddled in the house for a long time, and under Situ Wang's guidance, Situ Yue almost tore the paper.
"It's okay."
Situ Yue didn't want to talk. He wanted to take back his words about inviting Situ Wang to come out of seclusion.
If this continues every day, what's the difference from seven years ago?
It's just that the food tastes better.
“Compared to before, I have improved a lot. Although my painting skills haven’t improved much, I have a better grasp of the artistic conception and the overall picture.”
Situ Wang nodded, his disciple was still the best.
Situ Yue listened attentively, and the two of them seemed to be back in the mountains.
“Knock knock.”
Liu Qinghuan knocked on the door and asked softly, "Mr. Situ, I've prepared some desserts for you."
"Come in."
As soon as Liu Qinghuan entered the room, he stepped on a ball of paper and saw the master and disciple covered in ink, studying a painting in a book.
"Sir, are you reading a painting guide?" Liu Qinghuan thought it was really fashionable. There were books teaching how to paint in this day and age.
“What is a drawing guide?”
“It’s to teach painting.”
"Miss Liu, you're joking," Situ Yue touched her nose and smeared a lot of ink on her face. "I'm studying this travelogue with my master and want to paint the scenery in the book."
Liu Qinghuan put down the snacks and felt petrified.
What the hell.
The way you scholars entertain yourself is really incomprehensible.
