Delicate Flower Chapter 200: Contempt
Everyone does have two faces, but how many people dare to show two faces in front of Lao An?
Pei Man kept complaining in his heart, but he still wanted to keep it from showing on his face. He continued to answer "yes" respectfully and sent someone to investigate.
Mrs. Wang is very unjust. Fortunately, Pei Man understands her temperament relatively well. He knows that she has always been nervous about the Pei family's business. Even when she meets the Pei family's maid who sweeps the floor, she will be polite and smooth. Sometimes they would even give two red ropes to tie the hair of the little maids, and they would pass after checking.
Pei Yan was still worried, so he invited Yu Tang over and asked her what she wanted from the tailor master for the pattern.
Yu Tang was embarrassed.
She did not expect that Pei Man would ask Pei Yan to explain such a trivial matter.
"Isn't the lacquerware business at home not doing well?" She told Pei Yan about the back and forth between herself and Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan was very contemptuous and said: "Your family will let a little girl like you behave like this?"
Yu Tang didn't like hearing this. She said: "What do you mean by a little girl's house? I'm not messing around. Our lacquerware shop was passed down from my grandfather's time. Although my father and my uncle each had a separate shop, the shop was never separated. , we have always been together, managed by my eldest uncle. My father and my eldest uncle wanted me and my brother to be in charge of the shop together."
Pei Yan has always responded quickly to people and things. Hearing this, he immediately realized that the Yu family was preparing for Miss Yu to recruit a son-in-law. But he was inexplicably worried and couldn't help but said: "Then you also agree to the family's arrangement?"
Men are ashamed of marrying into a married woman, and those who are willing to be a home-in-law usually have some shortcomings.
Pei Yan frowned slightly.
Yu Tang didn't react for a moment and said: "What arrangement?"
Pei Yan felt a little irritable.
This little girl, why is she so stupid!
I am usually very alert, but when the critical moment comes, I don’t know what to do.
He said angrily: "You just agree to your family marrying you in? Don't you have a cousin? He can take care of both!"
This is the choice of many people.
You don’t need to change your surname, nor do you need to be separated from your biological flesh and blood. You just have to support an extra uncle. But the nephew should also get the uncle's property, so it's still a good deal.
Only then did Yu Tang understand what he was talking about.
No matter how careless she is, she can't discuss this with Pei Yan.
Yu Tang's face turned red and he answered with a very safe answer: "My parents' orders are the matchmaker's words. I naturally obey my parents."
Then you still dare to talk nonsense in front of me!
When these words came to Pei Yan's lips, he suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to say such words at this time... Although he didn't know why he felt it was inappropriate, and he didn't know why he had to endure this sentence with his freewheeling temperament. The words were swallowed, but he still endured them again and again, and abruptly turned the topic to the Yu family's lacquerware shop: "Why do you think so highly of the patterns of that tailor's shop? I think they are ordinary."
As soon as his words came out, Yu Tang let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her heartstrings had been tense when she answered Pei Yan's question. As for the reason, she looked into Pei Yan's glaring eyes and had no time to think about it. She felt as if she had escaped from the cliff without incident, which made her instinctively want to get over this chapter quickly. She said impatiently: "That's because you didn't notice their embroidery skills. Their embroidery skills are very good." As she said this, she gave the example of Miss Fifth's embroidered shoes.
Pei Yan still had contempt on his face and said, "If I remember correctly, your shop does red paint, right?"
Yu Tang nodded repeatedly: "You remember correctly."
"Isn't the red paint famous for its gorgeousness and low-keyness?" Pei Yan said disapprovingly, "Like the pattern you mentioned, a few scattered flowers, what utensils are you going to use on it? I don't like this kind of pattern. You don’t need to look at it to know that mother-of-pearl is beautiful when made. This kind of pattern is made with red paint, which can neither reflect the complicated craftsmanship of red paint nor the characteristics of red paint."
It sounds like his family has an ancestral lacquerware shop.
Yu Tang was angry and a little unconvinced.
She knew that Pei Yan knew a lot, but he didn't even know lacquerware, right?
Yu Tang said a little unconvinced: "What are the characteristics of red paint? Why can't it be left blank like a picture? I asked for a few paintings to make patterns before, and they sold well."
Pei Yan curled his lips and said: "That's because those people have never seen any better-looking red lacquer objects. Besides, isn't the characteristic of red lacquer different from other lacquer crafts? Although I I am a layman, but I also know that the difference between red paint and other lacquerware is that it requires dozens of layers of red paint to be repeatedly applied to the object, and then the relief pattern is carved after it dries. The hidden edge must be clear, slender and delicate . A large amount of white space must highlight the content of the pattern, and it is naturally good to make characters. If it is a pattern or pattern, I am afraid you need to carefully consider the color of the white space. Are you planning to make your lacquerware black? Or can it be made of other colors?"
"Of course not!" Yu Tang blurted out, and then he didn't know what to say.
The key point of red paint is "red". If the background color changes to another color, it is not called red paint.
Thinking of this, her heart moved and she asked: "Can I use other colors as the background?"
Pei Yan was tired and didn't want to talk to her, so he said lazily: "Then you can give it a try. Maybe you can innovate and create a new lacquerware craft."
Yu Tang really had such thoughts.
Her heart suddenly flew away, and she wished she could return to her shop in the blink of an eye to discuss the matter with Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan did not want to pay attention to her little thoughts and continued: "The craft of picking red paint lies in the word 'pick', so you should work **** this aspect. Instead of asking for patterns from tailor shops, why not Asking someone to re-draw patterns, characters and other patterns requires very high demands on the carver, and the facial features must be lifelike. Do you have such a master in your family?"
No!
Yu Tang remained silent.
Pei Yan didn't need her to say anything, he knew it at a glance. He simply said: "Go and bring those drawings from your house and let me take a look."
Yu Tang stared at him with wide eyes, full of surprise.
Pei Yan suddenly felt that the way she looked at him was too bright, which made him feel a little dazzling and even made him feel slightly uncomfortable. He couldn't help coughing twice and said, "Why don't you hurry up and get those drawings over here!"
Yu Tang jumped up, and the little man in his heart danced, as happily as a bird.
"Okay, okay." She was afraid that he would regret it, and she didn't care whether it was rude or not. She rushed to the door and called Shuangtao over, and warned, "Go to the shop quickly and tell the young master that the third master He is willing to help our family look at the lacquerware patterns and ask him to quickly bring the patterns into the house."
Shuang Tao was overjoyed.
If the Pei family is willing to help, the Yu family's lacquerware shop will definitely make a fortune.
The Yu family is well, they can hold their heads high when they go out, and Beier has face.
"I'll go right now, I'll go right now." She ran away without caring about etiquette.
Yu Tang was afraid that Pei Yan would be hot for three minutes, so she secretly prayed in her heart that her brother would not stop for a moment if he got the letter, and rushed over quickly; at the same time, she felt that she had to stabilize Pei Yan, and she could not let him This enthusiasm has dissipated. Without thinking much, she turned back to the study and immediately started talking to Pei Yan diligently.
It’s just that she and Pei Yan have nothing in common in terms of knowledge and outlook. In addition, Pei Yan is a short talker. After asking if he has eaten or drank, he doesn’t know what to say. .
Yu Tang cursed in his heart.
Isn’t there nothing worth saying if we don’t talk about the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics?
She felt depressed, but she could only continue to look for topics, and talked about the craftsmanship of lacquerware.
Pei Yan looked coldly at Yu Tang chattering there to find something to say. He should be impatient, he should be disgusted. But looking at her sparkling eyes, her embarrassment when she couldn't find the topic, and her secret joy when she found the topic, he felt as if he was watching a comedy show. No, it was more interesting to him than watching a comedy show.
He actually listened to her ramble for more than half an hour. When she said, "What do you think of our family hiring a skilled carver?", he couldn't hold it back again and lowered his voice. He scolded: "Your family has been running a lacquerware shop for several generations, right? There are so many disciples in the family, but you still want to hire a highly skilled carver. Are you slapping the Yu family in the face? Or are you slapping you? Uncle's face? Even if your uncle agrees, your father probably won't agree, right?"
Yu Tang suddenly lost his voice.
Indeed, if she really invites a master carver back, her uncle might think that she is accusing him of not running the shop well.
What to do?
Abandon carving figures?
How can that be done?
Yu Tang shook his head.
The business of their lacquerware shop was not good before because the goods were single. If there are no more character pictures and there are fewer choices, the business will probably be even worse, right?
There she was, deep in thought.
Pei Yan looked at her with interest.
Sometimes she shakes her head, sometimes laughs, sometimes frowns, and sometimes lowers her head. Her expressions and movements are endless. Even the Pei family's three-year-old child is not as active as her. ~IndoMTL.com~ He couldn't help but sigh that fortunately, Miss Yu's appearance was outstanding, and it was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it. If others had done this, he would have been regarded as crazy.
She is lucky, he is hiding from Shen Shanyan, so he can spend some time with her here.
Pei Yan thought and said: "There are only two types of business now. One is to do everything, and everyone will never be empty-handed. The other is to make the business top-notch, as long as you think of this object , the first thing is to go and have a look at their home. Only when their home is gone will we consider other people’s homes. Your lacquerware shop is famous for making red lacquerware. I don’t think it is necessary to have large and complete items."
Is this really the case?
Yu Tang was a little uneasy and said: "But if you want to be the top, it should be difficult, right?"
Their family simply does not have the confidence to do this.
Pei Yan sneered and said: "You spend the same effort, the same time, the same energy, but you are still inferior to others in everything, and your family is quite promising."
