Chapter 288: The Wei Family's Practices
Swallow listened and remembered that he had copied the calligraphy when he was in elementary school before, which should be the same principle as this.
"Is this wax paper hard to buy now?" Swallow asked curiously.
Bian Yu shook his head and thought for a moment: "No, how can you not buy it in such a big and prosperous place as the capital, I heard my grandfather say that the only person who makes this paper in the capital is the Wei family, which is the book store!" ”
When Yanzi heard this Wei family, he immediately thought of what happened this morning, and the Wei Xun was not the Wei family.
"They are the only ones in the capital who make such wax paper?" The swallow was a little curious, curious about how difficult it was to make such wax paper.
"That's right, this wax paper is indeed only made by the Wei family, although other merchants have sold it before, but they are all bought from the Wei family and then sold, but now the Wei family no longer distributes such wax paper, not to mention the difficulty of production, the cost of this is not low, my grandfather said, to make such a very thin and thin, thin as cicada wings of wax paper, it takes very fine effort!" Bian Yu said again.
Now in such a situation, the swallow is in trouble, this wax paper is needed, and it must be used, but this guard, the swallow pursed his lips, and felt that this person was not very reliable.
But no matter whether it is reliable or not, since his family is in business, she is also looking for him to do business, as long as he is given enough benefits and let him have silver to earn, he will naturally not make things difficult for others, after all, this Wei family is also a well-known figure in the capital, if something bad is spread out, they will also lose face.
After pondering for a moment, Yanzi turned his head and called a little scholar and gave him a few orders, asking him to see if the Wei family sold wax paper. The little scholar got the order, and Ma Yu'er went.
When Yanzi and Bian Yu were waiting, they simply drew characters there and chatted, and among them, Yanzi also knew about Bian Yu.
Bian Yu's family, in the capital in the operation of a pen and ink shop, the family have learned calligraphy, the words of the side family in the capital calligraphy circle is also one of the best, but here the rain is different, calligraphy is mediocre, even some do not like to write, but like to paint, all day long in the head of the imagination, are some of their family does not understand.
"So I said, I was very happy after you said you liked my paintings in Fairview Workshop yesterday, this is the first time that people like my paintings!" Bian Yu said to Yanzi with a smile.
"Then I'm going to be your Bole?" The swallow fiddled with the paint on the table, looked up at Bian Yu and raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Bian Yu took the pen and thought for a moment, nodded vigorously and said, "Well, it's okay!" ”
After a while, Bian Yu had already drawn two more figures, although they were both drafts, but only after these drafts were settled, could he continue to go down.
"This Wei family is also a family that has been based in the capital for a long time, and there are as many as four generations of rich armor, and the kung fu of making wax paper is also handed down by their ancestors, and now everyone can write, but the requirements are not high, but it is not as good as before, every word has to be written beautifully, so this wax paper is gradually not being sold. I don't know if I can buy it back! Bian Yu was curious, she knew that when this wax paper was still a child, her grandfather told her, and now that she has grown into a big girl, she doesn't know if she can succeed in finding the wax paper like this.
Yanzi pursed his lips and didn't say anything, since this wax paper is a craft handed down by the ancestors of the Wei family, it must not be thrown away, but it is difficult to say whether it is sold to them or not, they are peers, and everyone knows the interests involved, not saying it on the surface, but they all understand it in their hearts.
After the two chatted for a while, the little scholar who had just asked came back, but it was not good news that he brought back.
"You speak slowly!" Yanzi looked at the little scholar who ran back with sweat on his face, and told him not to be in a hurry, and let him speak slowly.
The little scholar frowned slightly, pursed his lips and stood beside Yanzi and said: "As soon as I went over and asked them about the wax paper, they seemed to know that we Baiwenzhai wanted to use it, so I replied directly, unless Sister Yanzi you go yourself, there is room for negotiation, I can say it, but they don't let go..."
Yanzi looked at the little scholar, and also had some thoughts in her heart, but she had never dealt with the Wei family before, and knew that the bookstore under the name of the Wei family's business was now managed by Wei Xun, but she didn't know what kind of person Wei Xun was.
Bian Yu listened to the little scholar's words, but frowned, she didn't expect it to be like this at all: "Why is this Wei family like this, it's not that you don't give money to buy his wax paper, besides, if we really want to buy it, we must buy a lot of it, then this silver is a lot, how can I send it to the front of me and not pick up the silver!" ”
"It's not that you don't pick it up, it's that you want to pick up the big one!" Swallow said lightly.
Yanzi took a deep breath in this matter, thinking to herself, could it be that they had already calculated this step, knowing that they were looking for an artist to draw a picture album, and it was very likely that they would use their wax paper, so they did it. But no matter what, only they can make this wax paper now, and they have to buy it if they don't buy it, and they have to buy it.
After a while, Yanzi asked Bian Yu to go back first, and he was thinking of a way. The guards who are about to deal with this are always the first to inquire about it.
In the small private room on the third floor of Hongxing Building, Han Feiyao and Duan Ying sat opposite Yanzi together, there were a few dishes on the table, and there was a osmanthus brew, Yanzi said not to drink, but Duan Ying wanted to drink, no, now his cheeks are a little red.
"Let me tell you that this guard patrol is lustful, he is also famous among the children of the capital, although no one in their family is an official, but their family is in business, this business world is also very powerful, and this guard patrol is also a wide range of friends, and many children in the capital are also very close, they all know that this guard patrol is very lustful!" Duan Ying, who was a little drunk, was even more talking.
This slowly, Yanzi and Han Feiyao can see it, Duan Ying is doing something, the first place in gossip, among the rich and noble people in the capital, she can find out a little gossip, Yanzi feels that it is a pity that Duan Ying is not a paparazzi.
"Isn't Wei Xun the eldest son of the Wei family? Not all of them are already married! Han Feiyao turned his head and asked Duan Ying.
Duan Ying shook his head, took the chopsticks and gently touched the porcelain bowl in front of him, and then said: "Marriage is marriage, but this is also an order to get married, don't you know, when he got married, Wei Xun was still holding his small outer room!" ”
