Delicate Flower Chapter 3: Go home

Thinking about these past events will only make you feel depressed.

Yu Tang never wants to get involved with the Li family, let alone the Pei family.

She took this opportunity to whisper to her eldest aunt: "Even the Pei family's shop was burned down, and ours can't be saved. Fortunately, the foundation is still there. If there is a chance, we can always make a comeback. As for the things in the shop, If we pay for the goods, we will definitely pay double the money. If we can find a buyer to have a good discussion with them, maybe they are willing to extend some time, and we can make a new batch of goods for that merchant, or we can pay less money. Changxing Street is flooded, which is something no one expected or wanted!"

"That's what I said. But I'm afraid delaying delivery won't work." Wang smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "You are a child, and no one at home usually tells you. Over the years, people in southern Fujian have gone to sea to make money. After getting a lot of money, the people in Hangzhou were excited. Those who had the capital and ability would take out a boat as a family and take silk, tea, porcelain, etc. to form a fleet to go to sea for business. Those who didn't have that much money just took it. Tea, silk and other goods are invested in shares and sent to sea. The person who ordered lacquerware from our family is going to sea to do business. The fleet has already set a date to go to sea. If he cannot deliver the goods he has invested in by the time, the business will be ruined. He You are not allowed to ask us for double compensation."

It is true that Yu Tang in the previous life did not know about this, but Yu Tang in this life does.

The Li family is considered a newcomer in Lin'an City.

Their family used to be rich, but there was also the Pei family above them, so their family was a bit unsatisfactory. It is said that three generations back, the Li family would go to pay New Year's greetings to the Pei family every year on the first day of the lunar new year. It wasn't until the old man of the Li family, the grandfather of Li Duan and Li Jun's family, passed the imperial examination, and their father won the Jinshi again, and was in the same year as the second master of the Pei family, that he slowly stood upright. Every year on New Year's Day, when I go to pay New Year's greetings to the Pei family, the Li family can sit in the lobby of the Pei family and have a cup of tea.

Because of this, although the Li family has become more prominent, they have no way to use their power to expand their own property - the mountains and rivers in Lin'an City, and the shops on the streets, most of them belong to the Pei family. Just a few, who would sell their ancestral property without any problem? Even if they are selling their ancestral property, everyone is accustomed to selling it to the Pei family.

How dare the Li family compete with the Pei family?

But if you want to go far in the officialdom, you must not be greedy and you must take care of your boss. Both of these require money. If the Li family wants more money, they can only look outside.

As soon as they went back and forth, the Li family started the overseas business.

Of course, going to sea is risky. If you encounter a storm at sea, you will often lose everything. Many families in Hangzhou went bankrupt because of this. The Li family was very lucky. Nine times out of ten, the fleet would return safely. After she married with Li Jun's memorial tablet, the Li family began to become rich. Li Jun's mother praised her for having a prosperous husband, and Li Duan became even more entangled with her.

It's ridiculous that when Li Jun fell off his horse and died, Li Jun's mother pointed at her nose and called her a "vixen", saying that her beauty was a disaster...

It makes me sad to mention the past.

Yu Tang hurriedly suppressed all these past events in his heart and continued to talk to his eldest aunt about the things in the shop: "Then can we discuss with the merchant that our family will come forward to help him buy a batch of goods with good quality and quantity?"

Wang's eyes lit up after hearing this and said, "You and I want to go together."

As if she had found a confidant, she began to complain about her husband: "Your uncle will not agree. When it comes to Yujia's century-old brand, let alone Lin'an, there is no one in the whole city of Hangzhou whose craftsmanship can match Yujia's. He can't do such a thing as passing off quality goods.

"Your eldest cousin said that there are several hundred-year-old paint dealers in Jiangxi, and their products are no worse than ours. If your eldest uncle is worried about causing the merchants to suffer losses, he should go there himself and keep an eye on others. Just ship the goods at home. Your uncle also thinks that the goods in Jiangxi are cheaper than ours. If others find out about this, the Yu family’s century-old reputation will be destroyed. Those merchants would rather do it for a small profit. We will go to Jiangxi to place orders even if we are far away from home. Not only will our family lose its reputation, but we will also find buyers for the paint shop in Jiangxi in vain."

Yu Tang knew that her eldest uncle was a bit stubborn in business, otherwise he would not have had business differences with his eldest cousin in his previous life, but she did not expect that his eldest uncle would be so stubborn.

She said: "Then you might as well ask your uncle to go to Hangzhou City. I heard that the maritime businessmen like tea, porcelain and silk the most, and lacquerware and tinware are rare. Does anyone know where Jiangxi is? The craftsmanship of their shop is no worse than ours, and the prices are lower than ours, but the risk of going there is not small. If there is something wrong with the goods, it is difficult to return or exchange them, so why not give it to them?"

Wang nodded her head, but the calculations in her heart were pounding.

My son also said this once, but my husband was too stubborn to listen. But if this was said by the second uncle, it would definitely be different.

Wang was looking forward to the early return of Yu Tang’s father, Yu Wen.

Yu Tang came back from ten years later. With her age and experience, she is already calmer and calmer than a fifteen-year-old girl when things happen. What’s more, everything that should happen has already happened. There is no use in getting angry. Her mentality Even better.

As her eldest aunt wished, she stayed at home for a day, and then learned how to make snowflake cakes from Mrs. Wang.

The difference from her previous life was that it took her two days to learn how to make this snack. In this life, she got the hang of it quickly because of the experience in her previous life. She even made two more pots of snowflake cakes and gave them to Mrs. Chen. Neighbors - In her previous life, when her family had an accident, her neighbors were very helpful. She always remembered it and was grateful.

It was already four days later when her father Yu Wen came home.

Yu Tang had just washed her mother's hair and was sitting in the courtyard helping her mother to have her hair straightened.

While giving Mrs. Chen a fan, Mrs. Chen praised Yu Tang: "Look at how sensible and filial the eldest lady is! You can just wait and enjoy the blessings of the eldest lady and my uncle from now on!"

Ms. Chen chuckled.

The thin and pale face showed a little guilt.

Yutang’s marriage was not going well because her family wanted to recruit a son-in-law.

In her previous life, Yu Tang had no idea about her marriage. Everything was decided by her parents. But after experiencing what happened in her previous life, she realized that if she could find a wife and stay by her parents' side, she would be extremely lucky and blessed.

Seeing her mother's guilt, she leaned on her mother's shoulder coquettishly and said, "I want to find a beautiful woman, and don't marry a short girl like the sister next door!"

This is the first time Yu Tang has expressed his thoughts on marriage in front of his mother.

Ms. Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked her cautiously: "Then, are you willing to recruit a son-in-law?"

"Yes!" Yu Tang actively participated, "If I recruit a son-in-law at home, I can stay with my mother and father all my life. I have the final say in everything at home. Why don't I want to recruit a son-in-law?" Son-in-law?"

Seeing what she said sincerely, Mrs. Chen immediately became happy, pulled Yu Tang in front of her, and said to her sincerely: "Don't worry, mom and dad will definitely watch over you and won't let you go." If our Ah Tang suffers, we will not wrong our Ah Tang.”

Yu Tang nodded heavily.

Seeing the good atmosphere, Mrs. Chen joined in the fun and said, "Madam, don't forget to choose a beautiful one. Our eldest lady likes beautiful ones."

Anyway, I don’t expect my husband to be very promising, so of course I have to choose someone who is pleasing to my eye.

Yu Tang nodded again: "Mom, remember! You must also grow taller and be obedient."

Seeing how ignorant and fearless she looked, Mrs. Chen laughed out loud.

Yu Wen, who was dressed in a scholar's robe, walked in amid this laughter: "What are mother and daughter talking about? So happy! Tell me too!"

"Ms. sir!" Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up.

Yu Wen's eyes also fell directly on Chen.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost money again?" He asked Chen with concern and some distress, "Is Ah Tang making a fuss at home again? Or is it too hot these days and you can't eat? Do you want to? Why don't I ask someone to go buy some ice from the street and come back, and let Mrs. Chen cook you some mung bean water?"

"No, no need!" Mrs. Chen said with a smile, looking Yu Wen up and down, as if he was afraid that he would be in trouble when he went out, "Didn't Dr. Liu from Jimintang say that I can't stand the cold with this disease? You Why are you still encouraging me to eat ice cream?"

Yu Wen chuckled and said, "Don't I think I can make you relax for a moment?"

This is her father's character.

He is a very nice person, sincere, optimistic, generous, kind, and humorous... He is carefree about everything, showing a bit of indifference and a happy-go-lucky attitude. When I was young, I only focused on studying. When I grew up, I relied on my elder brother to help me with the housework. I finally passed the exam to become a scholar. I felt that studying was too hard, so I stopped studying.

It's okay if you don't encounter trouble, but if you encounter trouble, I'm afraid it's a little unbearable.

Yu Tang sighed in his heart and stepped forward to salute his father.

Only then did Yu Wen notice his daughter and said with a guilty conscience: "Ah Tang~IndoMTL.com~ My father is not at home these days. Have you been naughty? Have you listened to your mother-in-law?"

After Yu Tang experienced two lives, he liked that his father treated his mother well.

She said angrily: "Where is the Poria powder you promised me? I'm still waiting to make Poria paste!"

When Yu Wen heard that his family’s shop was burned down, he almost went crazy. How could he remember Poria cocos powder?

He was speechless.

Yu Tang sighed again in his heart.

In order to prevent my mother from worrying, when did my father go out and come home not glamorous? So they didn't notice their father's anxiety.

Over the years, all the profits from the shop have been given to her mother for medicine. Her father knew that Changxing Street was in trouble, and he didn't know how to suffer in his heart. It was understandable that he had forgotten the gift he gave her.

In her previous life, she had a big fight with her father. Later, her father accompanied her to Shanwaishan for a good meal, and she finally gave up. In this life, she just wants to help her parents out of trouble.

"My father doesn't keep his word." Yu Tang joked and pushed his father to the study, "I want the Qingtian jade seed that my father hid."

Yu Wen's heart ached as if he was being cut off. While being pushed away by his daughter, he bargained with her: "Can I give you that inkstone with dripping lotus leaves? Or the box of wolf-hair brushes you agreed to last time. ?"

"Humph!" Yu Tang said dissatisfiedly, "I won't be fooled! I want that Qingtian jade. I want to carve a seal and hang it around my waist like my father did."

Yu Wen said: "Only men hang their seals on their waists. You are a girl and you have three things to do. Can I give you a gold three things?"

The family is almost out of money to buy medicine for my mother, and her father is planning to give her some money.

Yu Tang snorted coldly.

Ms. Chen laughed so hard that she couldn't stand upright.

The father and daughter pushed and shoved into the study.
