Delicate Flower Chapter 203: Funny
It was Pei Yan's impromptu idea to paint lacquerware patterns for the Yu family. Yu Tang didn't believe that Pei Yan knew anything about lacquerware, but Pei Yan's serious look made her suspicious.
Maybe he really knows everything!
Didn’t Pei Yan never farm before he kept his filial piety? But now, even she has heard that the peaches, plums and pears produced in Pei's village are sold as far as the south of the Yangtze River and the two lakes. There are also rumors that the peaches from their family will be used as tribute.
Yu Tang had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and sit quietly next to Pei Yan.
I heard him ask her eldest cousin: "What do you want your shop to be like?"
Yu Yuan was stunned, thought for a while, and said cautiously: "I want to make money every year so that the elders in the family no longer have to worry about the business of the shop."
Pei Yan curled his lips and said, "Your ambition is too big."
Yu Tang knew that what he said was ironic, and was wondering if he should say a few words to his eldest cousin. Yu Yuan already smiled and said: "We, from a small family, don't have only this ambition. If we want to do business, If you are big, you need someone in the officialdom. Our family is small, and the one who is the best at reading is my second uncle, so we don’t just sit on this mountain and look at the height of that mountain."
She thought that Pei Yan would be even more disdainful after her eldest cousin said such words. Who knew that Pei Yan's expression was slightly stagnant, as if he had remembered something, and he was in a daze for a long time, and then he softly said: "Contented." Always happy! Sometimes this is blessing."
There was a hint of resentment in his voice, which made Yu Tang's hair stand on end.
How could Pei Yan speak in such a tone and say such words.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan happened to turn around and met her eyes.
Yu Tang smiled hurriedly at him.
He hesitated again, then curled his lips in a self-deprecating manner, swept away the depression and became domineering again, saying: "You want to make money, but you have to be able to make money! You If you only set your goal to make money, then you will definitely not make a lot of money. If you ask me, if you are more courageous, why should you be the first in Lin'an and the top three in Zhejiang? No, even if you are the first in Lin'an , the top three in Zhejiang, probably won’t be famous in Suzhou or Guangdong. In my opinion, you have to find a way to make your shop number one in Zhejiang. In this way, your shop will not worry about making money. Think about it, I say Does it make sense?"
That makes sense.
Not to mention Yu Yuan, even Yu Tang thought what he said made sense.
But if you want to be number one in Zhejiang, you must have money to invest and someone to protect you.
Pei Yan can really stand and talk without back pain!
But Yu Yuan and Yu Tang are both smart people. Pei Yan knows what their family is like and dares to say this. He probably already has some ideas. Yu Yuan could also see that the third master of the Pei family was different from the old man. The old man was like the warm sun in winter. If you had any trouble coming to your door, as long as he knew about it, he would definitely solve it for you. This third master likes to flatter others. Even if he has a way, he needs someone to support him before he can tell you.
He was no longer afraid of embarrassment, and said directly: "I've always been stupid. I can't think of any solution? You are the third master of Pei Mansion, so you must have a solution. Otherwise, you can just tell me."
Pei Yan heard so many good words every day, why would he care about what Yu Yuan said.
He looked at Yu Tang without saying anything.
Yu Tang was extremely angry.
Isn’t it enough that her brother said good things to her, so she also had to say a few good words?
Yu Tang ignored him and looked directly at him.
The two looked at each other for a while, but in the end Pei Yan was defeated.
He touched his nose and felt that Miss Yu's cat claws were exposed again. It would be better for him not to cause that trouble.
Of course, he was not afraid of this trouble, but he felt that his time was precious and could not be wasted just for a trivial matter. What's more, there was Shen Shanyan chasing behind him, making it difficult for him to guard against it. It would be better for him to settle the matter with the Yu family as soon as possible.
Pei Yan simply said bluntly: "I thought of it when I saw your lacquerware. In a few days, a censor will come here to review a few cases. I got the letter, and the ceremonial supervisor may also follow. People, just follow my instructions and find a way to make a few beautiful red-lacquered boxes as soon as possible, and I will use them to give gifts. By then, the reputation of your boxes will be known."
After all is said and done, we still have to take this path.
Yu Yuan was overjoyed and said "yes" repeatedly.
Pei Yan felt unhappy when he saw that there was no joy on Yu Tang's face, and asked Yu Tang: "Do you think this is bad?"
"No." Of course Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan was helping their family. But ever since she decided to run away from the Li family, she knew that asking for help from others is better than asking for yourself. Others can help you for a while, but they cannot help you forever. When receiving favors from others, she should remember them in her heart, and while repaying others, she should also take advantage of this opportunity to stand up for herself, so as to live up to those who helped her.
She said: "I'm thinking about what kind of box I should make!"
Pei Yan looked bright and said: "It's too late today, a little too late. When I have free time in the past few days, I will draw a few pictures for you, and I will make up eight or eleven pictures. As for Your side needs to make the box as soon as possible."
The red-painted box had to be painted with dozens of layers of paint back and forth.
Yu Yuan said: "Don't worry. This matter will be done."
As soon as he finished speaking, Miki ran in panting heavily, holding two boxes in his arms.
Yu Tang took the box and handed it to Pei Yan with his own hands.
Pei Yan looked at their box carefully and said: "This carving is really average. Look, here, here, and here, the lines are not processed clearly enough. You must have the box I want. You have to pay attention. Also, this paint is not bright enough. Is it because the paint is not good? Or you can't make a brighter paint? The box with red paint I saw in the palace, the light shines brightly. Like a mirror, you have to find a way to achieve such craftsmanship."
Yu Tang doesn’t know much about the technique of picking red paint.
She and Pei Yan looked at Yu Yuan together.
Yu Yuan was so nervous that his vest was sweating, and he said: "The paint is not good. In the past, when my grandfather was here, he also made a box as bright as a mirror, but it took a lot of effort."
In other words, the technical aspect can still be solved.
Pei Yan immediately said: "Okay. You go and buy some good paint first, and then discuss with your master at home how to make a box as bright as a mirror and how to improve your carving." After that, He also loudly called A Ming to come in, "Go to the accounting room and pay two thousand taels of silver to the little boss."
The Yu brothers and sisters were dumbfounded by this unexpected turn of events, and said in unison: "No, no need. Our family still has some money. You helped our family so much last time, and you still have money in the bank!" ”
Pei Yan did not change his original intention and said: "Since it was my idea, I am responsible for the success or failure of this matter. This money is not for you, it is lent to you temporarily. When you make money , you want to return it to me." After saying that, he looked as if he was afraid that they would not accept it. He paused and continued, "Count it as a three-point benefit to you."
Now Yu Tang and Yu Yuan were speechless.
Pei Yan mentioned a few more shortcomings in their boxes, and A Ming came to report that Mr. Shen was here.
Pei Yan frowned so much that he could catch a mosquito and said, "Mr. Shen, please go sit in the flower hall for a while. I will come right away."
Yu Yuan stood up and said goodbye.
Yu Tang didn't want to stay too long, but she couldn't help but whisper to Pei Yan before going out: "What is Mr. Shen looking for you for? I heard that he always comes to see you these days!"
Pei Yan stopped talking.
Yu Tang was very surprised.
What is it? It actually makes the straight-forward Pei Yan not know what to say...
But she is not the kind of person who imposes things on others. She pretended that she had never asked this question and said with a smile: "Then I will go see my brother off first."
Pei Yan nodded.
The Yu brothers and sisters left the farm.
Yu Yuandao: "How many more days are you going to stay here? I'll pick you up then?"
Yu Tang shook his head and said: "Isn't my sister-in-law going to give birth in a few days? You'd better leave me alone. I will stay at the Pei family for two or three days, and then the Pei family's sedan will take me back. Don’t worry, just do what the Third Master told you.”
"That's for sure." Yu Yuan said with emotion, "The third master has been very kind to us, but we can't beat his ship. No matter what, I will make the box that the third master wants this time."
Yu Tang encouraged her eldest cousin a few words and watched her eldest cousin leave the Pei family. Then she walked slowly to the guest room where she lived.
In her past life, Pei Yan seemed to have helped her a lot in places she couldn't see. In this life, she hopes to have a chance to repay Pei Yan.
Furthermore, Pei Yan did not deliberately hide the fact that Pei Yan helped the Yu family's lacquerware shop. I believe everyone in the Pei family will know about it soon. Should she tell Pei Lao'an? After all, it was the Yu family who had received the favor, and she should express her gratitude both emotionally and logically.
Yu Tang made up his mind and went to Pei Lao'an.
Lao An was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, listening to Pearl reading Buddhist scriptures to her. Seeing her come in, he smiled and asked Pearl to move the embroidery pier.
Yu Tang was polite, sat down, exchanged a few words with Lao An, and then slowly brought the topic to the matter just now: "...sent my brother away, thinking about him going back. I'm going to make a box, and I just wanted to ask if you have any designs you like, and I'll ask my brother to make a few for you to put your things in."
Pei Laoan rolled his eyes.
Little girl, do you want to tell her that the Yu family has received favor from Pei Yan?
Pei Laoan smiled and said: "You said that Xia Guang drew two pictures for your family? I don't want anything else~IndoMTL.com~ Just give me two boxes with the pictures he drew. ”
This is simple.
Yu Tang is most afraid that Pei Lao'an will think that she has ulterior motives and wants to take advantage of Pei Yan.
"Okay." She responded hurriedly, "I will ask my brother to choose the two best carvings for you."
Pei Lao'an thought for a while and said, "Then just make a few more for me. On Buddha Bathing Day, I will send Buddhist scriptures to Zhaoming Temple. Just make two more boxes that can hold Buddhist scriptures."
Yu Tang agreed repeatedly. After the fifth lady got off school, the two of them had dinner with Pei Laoan and talked about the Buddhist incense before they went back to their houses.
Aunt Chen asked Pei Laoan: "Do you want to talk to the third master?"
Whoever knew that the Yu family's business suddenly came into play for no reason would think about it for a while.
