Delicate Flower Chapter 11: Dead

After ten days of this, Yu Bo and Yu Yuan returned from Jiangxi.

Yu Wen was painting and was surprised when he heard the news: "Why did they come back so soon? Didn't things go well?"

It takes more than two months to take a boat from here to Nanchang Prefecture in Jiangxi.

Yu Tang was the opposite of what Yu Wen thought.

If things don't go well, it will take longer. If things go well, they will come back early.

"Uncle's house is next door," Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "How about I help you go there and ask?"

Ms. Chen is doing needlework with Yu Tang. She smiled and scolded her daughter: "I don't think you want to help your father ask for letters, but you want to be lazy, right?"

In his previous life, Yu Tang missed his relatives and cried so many nights that his pillow was wet. Now that she could go back in time and let her be the daughter of her parents, she wished she could give the Bodhisattva a golden body. How could she worry her mother and embarrass her father like her ignorant self in the past?

In the past ten days, she has been doing embroidery work at home honestly, and also painted a few patterns that were popular in later generations. Mrs. Chen felt that her daughter had learned this lesson and changed her appearance, and she was very happy.

"Mom, my mother knows me best." She dressed in colorful clothes, rubbed her shoulders, and said, "Mom, please let me go out for some fresh air! I haven't been out for several days. ”

Ms. Chen loves her daughter the most. In addition, after taking Yang Douxing’s medicine these past few days, her chest feels much better and her energy levels are high. She feels that even if her daughter gets into trouble, Yu Wen will not have to deal with it alone. Seeing the mess, he smiled: "Okay! You and your father go to your uncle's house to have a look."

Yu Tang cheered.

Yu Bo and Yu Yuan came together.

Everyone had met each other, sat down under the canopy of trees in the courtyard, and had tea with Shuangtao.

Yu Bo talked about his trip to Jiangxi this time: "We were very lucky! As soon as we entered Jiangxi, we met a merchant from Guangzhou who sold lacquerware and planned to go to Ningbo to try his luck. I saw that he was not able to collect the goods very well. After talking to him for a long time, he gave half of the goods to us. Shopkeeper Huang, who happened to be ordering from our house, didn't care what kind of goods he had, as long as he could catch up with the fleet to go to sea. The business was settled. However, we I always break my trust. I promised to pay shopkeeper Huang fifty taels of silver..."

"It should, it should." Yu Wen said hurriedly: "Brother Yinzi can make the decision."

Yu's lacquerware shop is connected together. Business is done together and money and goods are paid out together. Dividends are only distributed when the accounts are settled at the end of the year.

The Yutang family are very happy that they don’t have to pay so much money.

Yu Wen left Yu Bo and Yu Yuan to eat.

Yu Bo refused and said: "I have to rush to the Pei family. I heard that the Pei family is going to rebuild Changxing Street. I have to go and find out."

Yu Wen was quite surprised and said: "Is this news reliable? I didn't even hear about it when I was in Lin'an City. How come I know about it when my brother just came back?"

Yu Bo said with a smile: "You only read the books of sages. Even if others tell you about these business affairs, you won't pay attention. How can you compare with me? I have been running our family's lacquerware business with my father since I was a child. Shop."

Yu Wendao: "Why did the Pei family suddenly think of rebuilding Changxing Street?"

Yu Bo said: "It seems to be the intention of the prefect. I specially invited the second master of the Pei family to discuss it. This matter spread."

Yu Tang listened nearby and felt the same as in his previous life. The Pei family agreed to rebuild Changxing Street, but also proposed that if those shops that did not belong to the Pei family could not afford the money, the Pei family could buy their foundations.

In her previous life, when she didn't know what was wrong, she thought the Pei family was doing a good deed. Later, she realized that she had secretly scolded the Pei family. In this life, she knows the strangeness of this, but she has already received great favor from the Pei family...

Yu Tang sighed in his heart.

Out of sight and out of mind, I went back to my room to do some sewing.

The Yu brothers were talking about this in the study.

Yu Wen proposed that each family sell the foundation of a house to the Pei family, and the Pei family would help them rebuild their shop. In this way, although the Yu family's assets were reduced by half, they still retained half of them.

Yu Bo was worried that the Pei family would not agree, so he said: "Changxing Street is mostly owned by the Pei family. They can leave us alone. We will have to sell the entire foundation to them."

Yu Wen was eager to give it a try: "Brother, look at me!"

Ever since he knew that what Lu Xin sold him was a fake but he didn't notice it, he was impressed by Shopkeeper Tong's appreciation ability. He invited Shopkeeper Tong to dinner several times with wine and food, and from time to time asked for tips on appraising antiques. He claims to be half-close friends with Shopkeeper Tong.

Yu Wen thinks he can take the path of shopkeeper Tong.

Everyone in Lin'an City knows that Shopkeeper Tong has helped the Pei family run the **** shop for generations. It has been seven or eight generations now. He is a decent and eloquent old man in the Pei family.

Yu Bo is not as optimistic as Yu Wen.

If shopkeeper Tong was a good talker and took care of everything to the Pei family, how could he be here today?

It's just that Yu Wen was in high spirits, so he couldn't throw cold water on him, so he simply encouraged his brother with a few words, and then led Yu Yuan to do things in the shop.

Yu Wen had lunch, changed some clothes and went out.

When he came back in the evening, he happily told his wife and daughter: "Shopkeeper Tong is really nice. He agreed to help our family to inquire."

Ms. Chen was overjoyed.

Yu Tang was in a daze.

Yu Wen took out the painting "Picture of Fishing in Songxi" and opened it under the lamp. While looking at it, he said to Yu Tang: "So, as a person, you can't care too much about gains and losses. You see, I bought a painting It’s a fake, but it also made me a friend.”

Yu Tang curled his lips.

If she hadn't found a way to prove the authenticity of the painting, how could their family have dealt with Shopkeeper Tong. However, as his father said, Shopkeeper Tong is a really good person.

Yu Tang thought about the past life again.

According to Shopkeeper Tong’s opinion, this painting was removed exactly from the original painting. In other words, there is no problem with those inheritance seals. So where did the painting that fell into her hands in the previous life come from? Is it true or false?

Yu Tang wanted to find an opportunity to ask shopkeeper Tong for advice, but before she could find the opportunity, Yu Wen happily told Mrs. Chen and Yu Tang: "Our shop is saved!"

"What's going on?" Mrs. Chen put down the needle and thread in her hand and personally offered a cup of tea to Yu Wen.

Yu Wen drank the tea several times and said with joy: "Shopkeeper Tong wrote me back, saying that the chief manager of the Pei family did not agree and felt that two foundations were not enough to rebuild two shops, so Shopkeeper Tong decided to I was thinking that our family had been defrauded of money a few days ago. I wanted to say something to our family and let us add some more money. But the chief manager said that this precedent cannot be set. Otherwise, other families who have had their shops burned will be the same. What should I do if I follow the example? Who knew that the two of them were talking about this matter, and the third master of the Pei family passed by and heard it, so he made the decision and agreed to the matter. He also said that the Pei family could help all the people whose shops were burned down. Build the shop first, and the money spent will be advanced by the Pei family in advance, and the money will be repaid in installments over five or ten years without interest."

"Ah!" Yu Tang was stunned.

In this way, all the families whose shops were burned down can successfully get through this crisis.

"The Pei family is really the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!" Mrs. Chen clasped her hands together and bowed in the direction of where the Pei family lived.

This is completely different from the previous life.

Is it because of her rebirth?

Then when the Li family comes to propose marriage, doesn’t she have to do nothing and their family will reject the marriage?

Then she won’t have to deal with the Li family anymore?

It turned out that their family planned to recruit a wife for her!

Yu Tang felt relieved when he thought about this.

Ms. Chen said happily: "Then our family doesn't have to sell the foundation?"

"I'm afraid that won't work!" Yu Wen touched his head awkwardly and said, "Our family has already asked the Pei family about selling the foundation. The Pei family is compassionate and willing to lend money to everyone. How can we You broke your trust with the Pei family!"

Ms. Chen's expression dimmed and he sighed in disappointment.

Yu Wen comforted Mrs. Chen: "This is already good. If you think about it this way, if our family hadn't invited shopkeeper Tong to talk about Xiang, how could the third master of the Pei family know about this matter? The third master of the Pei family didn't say anything. How could my family lend money to these people who burned down their shops for free? Speaking of which, our family also indirectly did a good thing."

Ms. Chen laughed and said coquettishly: "You are the only one who is generous."

Yu Wen laughed.

After receiving the news, Yu Bo also thought that the foundation of his shop did not need to be sold ~IndoMTL.com~ Only when he came to discuss with Yu Wen did he find out the whole story. Big and open-minded, he said: "Just pretend that our family doesn't have this fate."

Both Yu brothers have made a decision, and it is even harder for the others to say anything.

A few days later, the Pei family was negotiating with the families who had burned down their shops on how to rebuild them. The old man of the Pei family suddenly passed away.

"This is impossible!" Yu Wen, who received the news in the middle of the night, stood in the courtyard with his clothes on, listening to a louder insect chirp, holding Chen's hand with a shocked face, "When I went to Pei's house yesterday I also asked about the old lady and said that the old lady was fine. How could he just leave like this?"

Ms. Chen was filled with sadness and said, "Is it possible that he is suffering from some serious illness? Is the old man of the Pei family past the age of hearing loss?"

"But this is too sudden." Yu Wen still didn't believe it and told A Tiao, "If you go to check again, are you mistaken?"

A Tiao wiped her tears and choked up: "I have already asked, and the Pei family has knocked on the cloud board and has begun to report the funeral to each family. Both Zhaoming Temple and Qingxu Temple have received the news, and the abbots of the two families have I've already rushed here. The news is correct!"

Yu Tang leaned against the door, feeling the heavy night dew chilling her heart and lungs.

She was already very concerned about the health of the old man of the Pei family. Everyone said that the old man of the Pei family was fine. Why did the old man of the Pei family die again?

Yu Tang regrets it very much.

She shouldn't listen to what others say, she should see it for herself.

The Pei family has helped their family so much, but she did not take the initiative to help the Pei family.

Yu Tang walked over and took his mother's arm and said, "Mom, are you going to offer incense to the old man of the Pei family? Can you take me with you?"
