The Yu family and Yu Shinan are related to each other in the fourth server. They haven't released the fifth server yet, but they are not very close. Yu Shinan's family has long since left his ancestral home in Yuyao and has been living in Chang'an, and the interaction between the two parties is limited.
Growing up, the Yu family had actually only met this famous cousin a few times, and each time it was during the clan's big sacrifice.
But these do not hinder the Yu family's current decision. Her cousin's calligraphy inherited the tradition of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, and his regular script is famous all over the world. There are many people who want to ask for his calligraphy, and Lin Wanwan is not the only one.
But the only one who begged her and gave such a heavy gift was Lin Wanwan.
Mrs. Yu thought highly of Lin Wanwan and was willing to have a close friendship with her.
Although Lin Wanwan was born in the countryside and the Lin family has long since declined, Lin Wanwan was raised by an expert hermit. Not only did she learn a lot of skills, she also had a senior brother with great powers, and she also saved a cousin from the Xiao family's Qiliangfang.
, he was granted the title of Lord of Le'an Township of the fifth rank by the saint for his high-yielding grain production. It was only a matter of time before the family rose to prominence.
Mrs. Yu believed that Lin Wanwan was worth her effort to make friends with, and she also wanted to show off her abilities.
When it came to seeking calligraphy and painting from famous artists, Lin Wanwan did not approach Xiao Chong, because Xiao Chong would obviously be a better choice.
After all, there were many calligraphy and paintings hanging in Xiao Chong's study, and they were all extraordinary at first glance. But for some reason, Lin Wanwan subconsciously did not consider troublesome Xiao Chong.
If she wanted to buy it from someone else, she would just have to give it enough money. If it were Xiao Chong or Lin Wanwan, they would always feel a bit guilty about changing hands and selling it.
Apparently nearly a year ago, she happily sold Xiao Chong's handwritten guqin music score, but today she is not even willing to cheat him of the calligraphy and painting collection in his hand. She doesn't know if it was her conscience that discovered it, or whether it was because of her conscience.
Other reasons.
This time, the gift Lin Wanwan prepared for Yu Shinan was indeed not light. The bottle of red wine was 2005 Romanee-Conti, priced at 280,000 soft girl coins.
Modern high-end red wine, whether in terms of strength or taste, cannot be compared with the backward brewing technology of the Tang Dynasty. Giving it as a gift will definitely impress people.
The set of white jade luminous cups is not a modern industrial product, but a high-quality product that Lin Wanwan found in the Zhenbao Pavilion in Xiaoxi Town.
The essence of white jade, which shines brightly at night, is very exquisite. If it is brought back to modern times, it will naturally be more valuable than in the Tang Dynasty. However, in the end, Lin Wanwan decided to use the luxury goods of the Tang Dynasty to give them to the big bosses of the Tang Dynasty, so that it would be easier for the other party to understand.
value.
Anyway, for Lin Wanwan, a set of white jade luminous cups only costs more than ten yuan a pound of peppercorns, and she can still buy it again if she has the opportunity in the future.
Whenever you buy Yu Shinan's calligraphy works, you are guaranteed to make a profit, and Lin Wanwan is not in a hurry.
If Mrs. Yu can get it for her as soon as possible, then she will treat it as a return gift to Lu Shouyue. If she doesn't get it before Lu Shouyue's birthday, it doesn't matter, she will keep it herself.
She also wants to collect calligraphy and paintings by Chu Suiliang and Ouyang Xun. They are both national treasures. When she comes to the Tang Dynasty, she must try her best to get one.
In fact, Xiao Chong had Ouyang Xun's copybook. Last time, he said that he could give it to Lin Wanwan, but later Lin Wanwan chose to let Xiao Chong write it for her himself.
A gentleman does not take away what others like. Lin Wanwan knew that Xiao Chong also liked calligraphy and painting, so why should she take away from others? If she wanted, she would find another way.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan was moved by herself. Xiao Chong, a white-faced guy with a dark heart, often used his schemes to trick her, and she didn't even think about how to trick him back. He was so honest.
If she wanted to steal money from Xiao Chong, it would be too easy. The simplest thing would be to let him write and draw. It would only cost money in modern times.
Just as I was thinking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and at the same time, there was also a group of Tian Can Di Que who made people look a little scared.
Lin Wanwan cast a questioning look at Xiao Chong. The latter did not answer her, but smiled slightly and talked about another thing first: "Cousin, the saint brought back cotton seeds and white-feathered chickens in recognition of you and your senior brother.
As a gift, I have given you some treasures, please accept them."
The saint in Xiao Chong's mouth is the emperor. People in the Tang Dynasty used to call the emperor a saint, everyone, instead of your majesty, emperor, and long live the Lord that often appear in TV dramas.
This time it was not a separate reward for Lin Wanwan, because the white-feathered chicken was linked to the eradication of locusts, and the main credit was attributed to Xiao Chong, the magistrate of Luan County, so the commendation order was merged with Xiao Chong.
This time, no new reputation was granted, but real property was given.
There were tribute-level silks, gold ornaments produced by the palace goldsmiths, and hundreds of acres of fertile land.
It’s just that fertile farmland in Luan County is really scarce!
Before the construction of Taishan Weir, nine out of ten acres of fields in Luang County had excessive salinity and alkalinity. Moreover, Luang County had many mountains and few flat lands. The fertile land had long been divided up between the nobles and the common people, so there was no surplus left to reward.
But Lin Wanwan didn't care. She directly told Xiao Chong that she didn't need to worry about fertile land and could just convert it into mountainous land for her.
She wants the mountain behind Linjiazhuang, whether it is used for hunting or reclamation in the future, it is all her own business anyway.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, land trading was not very popular because of the equalization of land. So now that there was no fertile land, Lin Wanwan immediately changed her mind and replaced the hilltop where she had her secret base for traveling.
The average size of a hill is more than 120 acres, and Linjiazhuang is backed by three mountains, totaling more than 360 acres.
Although it sounds like a lot, the fertile land that can be reclaimed for farming is extremely rare, so it is not considered an advantage. If she wants to replace it, there is no problem.
Xiao Chong even squeezed out twenty acres of saline-alkali land for her and incorporated it into her Yongye field.
It was equivalent to Lin Wanwan replacing three mountains and 20 acres of saline-alkali land with the 100 acres of fertile land that Li Shimin rewarded in vain.
Lin Wanwan, who has modern seawater rice seeds, is not afraid of saline-alkali soil. Since Xiao Chong gave it to her, why wouldn't she want it?
After the reward matters were dealt with, Xiao Chong pointed to the group of Tian Can Di Que standing silently behind him and told Lin Wanwan that these were the servants of the Xiao family who followed the order south. To be precise, they were Xiao Yixun's former servants.
Lin Wanwan felt a little bit bitter. The Xiao family was so funny. They actually sent some disabled people who were originally serving Xiao Yixun. Such a group of people were so incompetent that it made everyone panic.
She originally made this request, hoping that the other party would know the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, and send some awesome servants over. Who knew that they would pretend they didn't understand it.
Even if Xiao Yixun had an abnormal heart in the past and insisted on being served by Tiancandique, she has changed now. Lin Wanwan clearly wrote it in the letter, but the other party still didn't care.
It can be seen from this that Xiao Yixun is really not taken seriously by the family, and they simply let her fend for herself. She is still the legitimate daughter!
Lin Wanwan felt aggrieved for Xiao Yixun because she was just an albino, but she was discriminated against to this extent.
Forget it, let Xiao Yixun follow her all the time from now on. Anyway, in Datang, she has no problem supporting more people than less people.
Modern people who own modern warehouses and are as wealthy as the country are so arrogant in the Tang Dynasty.
