Chapter Thirty-Three: Banquet

It was about the end of Shen Shi in the afternoon, and the carriage was slowly driving on the main road paved with bluestone.

The sound of horse hooves hitting the road was very dull. When Yun Yi was feeling something was wrong, he remembered that the horse hooves seemed to have to be introduced to the Central Plains until the Yuan Dynasty, and the horses were all naked at this time.

I tilted my head to look at the street view outside the window. There were many passers-by in a hurry. It was almost night now, so I must be in a hurry to go home to make a fire and cook.

Yun Yi thought so in his mind, and the driver who was rushing the car in front opened the curtain and said, "Young Master, the Li Mansion is right in front."

When Yun Yi heard this, he glanced out through the straw-woven door curtain and saw that the originally wide road was crowded at this time.

The coachman said helplessly: "I heard that it is the birth of the eldest lady of the Li family. It seems that there are no less than a hundred guests here... Mr. Yun, are you getting off here, or are we waiting?"

Yun Yi frowned, lifted the curtain and looked at the donkey cart behind him. He saw Daniu looking at him stupidly. When he saw him, his anxious expression slowly calmed down. He pulled the rope tied to the screen on the car board, looking as if he was ready, but he was loyal to his duties.

Yun Yi smiled at him, and then said to the coachman: "I never thought that I could get stuck here, how many steps are left?"

The coachman politely lowered his head and replied, "It's just ahead, only fifty steps away. In fact, it's okay to just let the big bull move over. After all, it's a great gift. It's too late to win over the host. It's better to send it in early to settle."

This coachman is a proud student of Uncle Chen, and sent Yun Yi over to him because he was on the way.

Yun Yi thought for a while and it was difficult for him to delay the meal from home. He simply nodded and replied, "Okay, please trouble Brother Zhang."

The screen is three meters wide and one meter seven meters high. It normally takes two big men to move it. However, the big bull has a different physique after all. After carrying it easily, he smiled and said to Yun Yi: "Light, haha."

Yun Yi then patted his shoulder with confidence, signaled him to take care of him, and then said goodbye to the driver, and asked the driver to take the donkey cart away, and then went back to find him to take away.

After watching the coachman leave, Yun Yi took Daniu to the main gate of Li's mansion.

Along the way, there were all kinds of wealthy and gorgeous carriages, and tall horses indicate that their owners were of extraordinary origin.

Yun Yi and the others moved slowly along the sidewalk, mainly because the big bull was carrying such a large screen, which might hurt people if they were accidentally.

As for the mirror breaking, it doesn't matter. At worst, it's a big deal to change it.

The two of them naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way. The people sitting in the carriage were bored and they just popped out and saw a strange scene.

The three-meter-wide and one-meter-7-high screen is wrapped in red silk, and it is hard to see what it is, but it is certain that such a huge thing is, even if it is spliced ​​with wooden boards, it is afraid it is not light.

But look at that stupid big man, who was carrying such a big item, was not blushing or breathing, and he was really a brave man!

Then, they focused on Yun Yi, who was leading the way. After all, Daniu was obviously a servant. This real gift-giving person was probably the young man who looked around in front of him.

Yun Yi specially wore a pure white cloud pattern long gown today. This was customized by him when he found Grandma Hua. The fabric was made of ice silk fabrics that were common in later generations. This summer, I wore a lot of them, so I couldn't stand it if I didn't have any black technology.

Although he is handsome and fair-skinned, he is not as tall as a big bull, he is also a serious tall man. Yun Yi is 18 years old this year and has basically finished his development. His current height is at 1.82 meters.

This height can only be considered ordinary in future generations, but in this era, it is a real great man.

Along the way, the two attracted a lot of attention until they were not far from the gate.

Lu Guangsheng, who was in charge of the welcome at the door, discovered them.

Lu Guangsheng touched the housekeeper beside him, and after saying a few words, he jogged towards Yun Yi.

"Have you met Mr. Yun, Brother Daniu."

Yun Yi didn't know the charter, but when he saw Lu Guangsheng, he immediately relaxed a lot: "Haha, Brother Lu Guangsheng, I'm nagging."

Lu Guangsheng bowed his hand and looked at the object behind Daniu. He was stunned at first, and immediately stepped forward to ask for help, but he didn't expect that Daniu stopped him silly: "Don't touch you, hit you!"

"Well……"

"Hahaha."

Seeing that Lu Guangsheng was defeated, Yun Yi smiled and said, "Brother Lu Guangsheng, don't mind. Big Niu is joking with you. This thing is fragile. Let him carry it alone. Just point it in front."

Lu Guangsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, glanced at the big bull's strong muscles, a hint of intent flashed in his eyes, and then took the two to the front door. Yun Yi, as a guest specially invited by the head of the family, must have gone to the middle door.

The housekeeper was a middle-aged man in his forties, with gray and white hair in order. When he saw Yun Yi, he first bowed his hand.

"Mr. Lu has met Mr. Yun."

Lu Guangsheng said to him: "Dad, let Mr. Yun and the others move the things in first. I saw that the things were getting heavy."

It turned out to be a father and son. Yun Yi looked at Butler Lu, and when he looked at Lu Guangsheng, he found that it was really similar. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met Butler Lu, and I've been chatting."

Butler Lu smiled and signaled that he would not be polite. Then he looked at the screen behind the big bull and said curiously: "Young Master Yun is this?"

Lu Guangsheng explained: "Mr. Yun, please forgive me. According to the rules, you must sing a ceremony, so..."

Yun Yi nodded slightly, asked Daniu to put down the screen first, then thought for a while, and said, "This is a screen, which was temporarily created by the carpenter, and he hasn't figured out the name yet."

Generally, there are names for singing ceremony, such as: hibiscus stone double-eared pot, golden cup, golden cloud crane pattern bottle, red coral lion button, crystal Pisces vase, turquoise wire sacrificial priest...etc.

Butler Lu worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion earlier. After following Mrs. Wang to the Li Mansion, he became the butler of the Li Mansion. He served for more than ten years. This was the first time he saw someone give gifts, and he gave a newly-made utensil.

However, he was cautious, and despite his heart, he was still polite on his face. "Since that's the case, Mr. Yun doesn't mind Lu's slightest glance. Lu has some eyesight, maybe he just met him."

He thought that gifts were nothing more than those objects. Since this thing was a screen, he just wanted to find a name for the material. If the carving was really good, add a few good professional terms and deal with it casually, and don’t just put the face of the guests.

Yun Yi smiled and nodded: "Butler Lu is casual, I really don't understand these."

Butler Lu bowed to him, and then signaled Lu Guangsheng to pull out the silk that wrapped the screen.

Lu Guangsheng had been very curious about this screen. He knew that Yun Yi had a treasure and sold a thousand taels of silver in one mirror. Can the things he gave him make ordinary products?

Seeing that the big bull gave in, Lu Guangsheng went straight to the screen, found the rope and pulled it open. With a thud, he directly lifted the silk.
