Delicate Flower Chapter 312: Grinding ink

Pei Yan felt that Chen refused very well.

Yu Tang stayed at Pei's house, and everyone wanted to ask her out. He had to think of many ways to go out alone with Yu Tang. Things will be different when Yu Tang returns to her parents' home. All she needs is the consent of Mrs. Chen and Yu Wen.

Instead, he advised Pei Laoan: "This is not a temporary matter. Let her spend a few good years in the Yu family this year."

Wait until next year, we will celebrate the holidays at Pei’s house.

Pei Lao'an heard his son's unfinished words and laughed. On the day when he went down the mountain to Pei Mansion to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, he gave Yu Tang many festive gifts and medicinal materials. The people from Pei Mansion went directly back to Pei's house. Yu Tang returned to Qingzhu Lane.

Ms. Chen had already prepared a lot of food and waited for her daughter to come back. After seeing Yu Tang, she hugged her daughter and refused to let go. However, Yu Wen couldn't stand it any longer and said with a tsk: "It's not like I can't see you. Here we are, is this necessary?"

"Is my daughter still in the wrong?" Mrs. Chen muttered in a low voice, rolled her eyes at her husband, and pulled Yu Tang back to her inner room to talk, "Is Pei Lao'an not unhappy when you come back?"

"No!" Yu Tang comforted Mrs. Chen with kind words for a long time. Mrs. Chen felt relieved and happily waited for Yu Tang to change clothes, then ate with her, and then went to give Wang a meal together. Said hello.

Ms. Wang was doing needlework next to her sleeping grandson. When she heard that they were coming, she put down her work and went out to welcome them.

Yu Tang respectfully saluted Wang. Wang smiled and took Yu Tang's hand and looked her up and down for a long time. Seeing her rosy complexion and bright eyes, Wang couldn't help but smile and said: "Your mother-in-law said that Mr. Pei Lao'an called you to teach you some housekeeping skills. Your mother-in-law and I were afraid that you wouldn't be able to do it well, so we talked about it at home for a long time. Now that I see your appearance, I feel I feel relieved. It can be seen that our A Tang and Pei families are still destined."

She said the last sentence to Mrs. Chen.

Ms. Chen pursed her lips and smiled.

Yu Tang asked about Xiangshi and found out that she had gone to the shop to deliver food to Yu Yuan, so she and Chen went into the house to see her nephew and chatted again. Xiangshi came back.

Wang left Yu Tang and her daughter to eat at home, and asked the servants at home to report to Yu Bo and Yu Yuan in the shop, asking them to come back early for dinner.

Yu Tang also hadn't seen Xiangshi for some days. The two sisters sat in the yard and talked for a long time. When the sun turned west, Yu Bo and Yu Yuan came back, and the house was bustling again.

When Yu Wen came over, the two brothers had to talk about the Dragon Boat Festival. Yu Yuan quietly pulled Yu Tang's sleeve, and the brother and sister stood under the eaves and talked about themselves.

“Yesterday, the shop received a big order,” he winked at Yu Tang. “It was a calligraphy and ink shop in Hangzhou. They ordered a thousand small boxes for ink ingots and asked for the engraving of patterns such as rising higher and higher. . Dad was very happy, but I asked Yao San to inquire about it, and he said that it was the shopkeeper Tong Er of the Pei family **** shop who introduced him. How about you ask the third master to draw some pictures for us! Such an order This is our first time taking it on. If we do well, we can help those pen and ink shops in the future."

Rich people can afford to read, so everything in the pen and ink shop is expensive. And if you want to decorate a box with carved red lacquer, it is a very high-end Four Treasures of the Study.

Such a box must not only have good workmanship, but also have elegant patterns.

Not all lacquer shops can do this.

If the Yu family can win this business, it will open the way for the pen and ink shop. The Yu family's lacquerware shop will reach a new level both in terms of reputation and business.

Maybe one day it will become a tribute.

But when Yutang looked at his eldest cousin's teasing eyes, he couldn't help but blush, and said angrily: "That's why our family can make such a box!"

Yu Yuan chuckled.

But Yu Tang knew the skills of the Yu family's lacquerware shop. Seeing Yu Yuan's heartlessness, she became a little worried again and couldn't help but said: "Brother, can our family be able to handle a thousand boxes?" ? Otherwise, I should ask Mr. Pei San to draw some pictures for our family, right? He is a very discerning person. If he is willing to nominate, the things he draws will definitely be good."

Yu Yuan does have such thoughts, but after all, his sister has not married yet. Is Mr. Pei San willing?

Yu Tang didn’t think so much and said, “I’ll give it a try.”

If he doesn't agree, she will grind until he agrees.

Who asked him to suggest that their shop should feature flowers.

This really follows whoever comes up with the idea.

Pei Yan will definitely complain if he finds out.

But even if he complained, it was still interesting...

Yu Tang thought about it and couldn't wait to see Pei Yan.

Pei Yan is also a little uncomfortable.

When he lived in another courtyard a few days ago, he would have lunch with Yu Tang every morning after finishing his work. Then they would go shopping together, or go see flowers or birds. Sometimes The weather was too hot, and the days passed quickly while sitting under the shade of a tree and talking about family affairs. Now that Yu Tang has gone home, he seems to have nothing to do.

After lunch, Pei Yan was thinking about finding an excuse to meet Yu Tang. Who knew that Yu Tang came to see him first before he moved.

He was happy in his heart but did not show it on his face. He asked A Ming to take her to the study to talk. He turned around and told Qingyuan: "Give Miss Yu Pai some fruits. She likes to eat sweets. You don't care. Sweet pick."

Qing Yuan responded with a smile. When he washed the fruit and brought it over, Yu Tang was already sitting on the bamboo chair under the eaves with Pei Yan, talking.

"What pattern do you think is best to use?" Yu Tang said, "I took a few patterns collected at home, you can help me take a look!"

Pei Yan curled his lips in his heart.

I don’t know if you are using this as an excuse? Or are you really looking for him with something?

But whether it was the former or the latter, Pei Yan took the drawings in Yu Tang's hand with a cold expression, looked at them casually, and then threw them all aside.

Yu Tang was very surprised and said: "Isn't it possible?"

"It's been the same for hundreds of years." Pei Yan said without hiding his disdain, "This is the kind of pattern I saw when I was a child." When he said this, he had an idea.

No matter why Yu Tang came to him, it would be great if he could take advantage of it.

"Let's do this," he stood up and said, "I'll draw a few pictures for you. You can take them back and discuss with your brother to see which one is better. You can grind the ink."

Grinding ink? !

Yu Tang couldn't believe what he heard.

But Pei Yan had already strode to the study.

Yu Tang had no choice but to follow and confirmed: "Where's A Ming? Was he still here just now?"

Why is it her turn to sharpen ink?

Pei Yan suddenly stopped and turned around, and Yu Tang, who was following behind him, almost bumped into him.

"Can you stay at home for a few more days?" Pei Yan asked.

It took a while for Yu Tang to realize that Pei Yan was telling her to hurry up.

She has nothing else to say.

He rolled up his sleeves and stood obediently in front of the big bookcase to polish ink for Pei Yan.

Aming ran to the kitchen to bring snacks to Yu Tang but was stopped outside the study by Qingyuan, who also took the snacks.

Yu Tang had only sharpened ink for Yu Wen, but the ink tablets used by Pei Yan were heavy and astringent. Yu Tang felt his wrists were a little sore after grinding for a while, so Pei Yan went to get a box of paint and wanted to paint fine brushwork. , and also explained to her: "I have carefully studied the red paint in your house, and it is all drawn with deep and shallow reds. I use gongbi. You know which places should be lighter and which places should be darker, so that it is easier to proof. ”

What else can Yu Tang say.

As a result, those pigments are harder to rub off than ink.

Yu Tang couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "What kind of ink ingots are you using? What kind of pigments? Why is it so difficult to grind it off? It can't be inferior quality, right?"

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "I use all tribute rosin ink, and various gemstones are added to the paint. Otherwise, how could the color be so beautiful? It still lasts for a long time."

Such a bad temper!

Yu Tang retorted dissatisfiedly: "I've never seen it, how do I know what these are? It's true that they are not easy to grind."

"You don't know how to sharpen it, right?" Pei Yan said coldly, "Except for you, I haven't heard anyone say it's not easy to sharpen."

That's because those people are the servants around you, who dares to say such things.

Yu Tang felt that Pei Yan was not self-conscious and was unwilling to work. He called Qing Yuan in and asked if A Ming was back. She wanted to change shifts with A Ming.

Seeing that Pei Yan's face was turning dark, Qing Yuan dared to reveal A Ming's whereabouts, so he hurriedly brought snacks in and said with a smile: "How about a break, Miss?"

Yu Tang immediately asked for a break.

Pei Yan had no choice but to watch her sitting next to her drinking tea and eating snacks while he started grinding paint.

When Yu Tang is lazy, he steals more confidently.

By the time Pei Yan finished drawing a picture, the sunset was already glowing on the horizon.

Pei Yan handed the drawing to Yu Tang and told her: "Remember to come back tomorrow."

Yu Tang looked at the pattern and saw a magpie resting on a plum blossom branch.

The plum blossoms are sparse and proud, the magpies are lively and playful, and they appear lifelike on the paper, making people unable to put it down.

Yu Tang decided to collect this painting.

She thanked her with a smile, took the painting and left.

Pei Yan looked at the remaining painting tools on the large painting table, and suddenly felt a little pitiful for being left there alone.

Yu Yuan did not expect that Yu Tang could actually ask for Pei Yan's painting. He was once again amazed by Pei Yan's painting skills and hesitated: "Is this okay? Didn't you say that only flowers will be used?"

Yu Tang pointed to the plum blossom and hesitated: "Isn't there a flower?"

She had completely forgotten about it.

Thinking of Pei Yan’s instructions~IndoMTL.com~, he hurriedly said: "He asked me to go back tomorrow. I guess he still has some drawings for us, right?"

Yu Yuan asked no more questions, carefully considered Pei Yan's painting, and said: "The third master said that we should make a pattern according to the depth of his painting. I have to discuss it with the master, and I don't know if it can be done." Come out."

Yu Tang was also a little worried, so Yu Yuan went to the shop overnight.

The next morning, Yu Tang also went to Pei's house very early.

The maid at the side door of Pei Mansion was already used to Yu Tang's visit, so when she saw Qing Yuan coming, she let Yu Tang in.

Pei Yan said: "Let me give you a pair of cards to get in and out of!"

Yu Tang thinks there is no need to go to such trouble until she can get married, otherwise, she may never be able to use the Pei family's cards.

This time Pei Yan did not let Yu Tang polish his ink, but asked Yu Tang to fan him instead.

Yu Tang had given up trying to reason with him, and obediently took a Sichuan fan and fanned him behind him.
