Chapter 175: Selling umbrellas on a sunny day

The autumn wind is terrible.

After making the first oil-paper umbrella for Tang Rong, Qin Tian recruited some craftsmen in Qinjia Village and began the large-scale production of oil-paper umbrellas.

Although there are umbrellas in this era, and they are actually better sheltered from the wind and rain than oil-paper umbrellas, Qin Tian still feels that his oil-paper umbrellas have a large market.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty, the oil-paper umbrella is small and exquisite, and the beautiful one is like a handicraft, there should be a lot of people who like it, right?

After a batch of oil-paper umbrellas was produced, at the request of Tang Rong, Qin Tian inscribed on each fan: I wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and I am willing to be a branch in the earth.

There are even a few fans with some landscape paintings.

These fans painted by inscriptions look more beautiful and full of charm.

After doing this, Qin Tian asked people to pull these oil-paper umbrellas to the store in the east city of Chang'an City for sale.

However, since the heavy rain that day, there has been no rain in Chang'an for the past few days, so after those oil-paper umbrellas were pulled to Chang'an, although there were also people who shouted at them, there were few people who were really willing to buy them.

The people of Chang'an City have umbrellas, first of all, in terms of demand, on such a sunny day, they don't need umbrellas, even if it rains, they have them at home, and they can't afford to spend money to buy them.

Moreover, the price of these oil-paper umbrellas is not cheap, and it is by no means a price that ordinary people are willing to spend.

Therefore, a few days after the oil-paper umbrella was taken to Chang'an City, only a few were sold, and that's it, there are still some rich people who want to buy it fresh and buy it to play at home.

However, this umbrella has not sold a few pieces, and the sentence on the fan is willing to be a winged bird in heaven, and it is willing to be a branch in the ground but it is gradually becoming popular in Chang'an City, and it is talked about for a while.

Since Lu Huaniang was rescued by Qin Tian, she has been staying in Lu Mansion and has not gone out.

On this day, her maid suddenly walked in with an oil-paper umbrella.

"Miss, just now Lu Feng sent someone to bring an umbrella to Miss."

Hearing an umbrella, Lu Huaniang said: "What does this Lu Feng mean, send me an umbrella on a sunny day?" ”

"He said that Qin Gongzi made it, and Miss must like it."

Hearing this, Lu Huaniang's expression moved slightly, and she suddenly became interested: "Take it to me and take a look." ”

What her fiancΓ© did, she definitely wanted to see.

The maid handed over the oil-paper umbrella, Lu Huaniang took it in her hand, and felt that this umbrella was really chic, thinking that if the girl held it up in the rain, it should have a different charm, right?

Thinking about it, it opened, after the fan was opened, the first thing that caught my eye was the poem, and when I saw this poem, Lu Huaniang's heart suddenly moved, and secretly said that I would like to be a winged bird in heaven and a branch in the ground.

If men and women in the world have this kind of love, it is really worth dying.

couldn't help but wonder if he wrote this sentence to herself, after all, the two will soon get married.

But when she saw the painting on the fan, she was stunned, because the woman on the fan was too much like Tang Rong, but she didn't match her at all.

Obviously, this poem was written for Tang Rong.

And she already knew about Li Shimin's request for Tang Rong's life, if it wasn't for Qin Tian's request, how could Li Shimin do this?

couldn't help but feel sour in Lu Huaniang's heart, and gradually, she felt that writing this poem on the fan surface might be Tang Rong's declaration of war against herself.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaniang smiled bitterly, she hasn't married yet, is the battle between women about to start?

However, Tang Rong wanted to give her a ride through this poem, which would be too underestimating her Lu Huaniang.

Lu Huaniang carefully looked at the paintings and words on the fan, and after looking at it carefully, her expression suddenly moved, and then she regained her composure and said, "Go and call Lu Lin to me." ”

Lu Lin is Lu Huaniang's younger brother and was born to a concubine, but because Lu Xing only has such a son, he is still very favored at home.

When Lu Lin came, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with my sister?" ”

Lu Lin looks delicate, a scholar, because of the relationship between his family, his knowledge is very good, and he has already emerged in Chang'an City.

"I heard that you are now learning fonts with Chu Suiliang?"

"Exactly."

Lu Huaniang nodded: "Okay, you go to him, be sure to take him to the Qin family shop in East City, where there are umbrellas now, let him buy one." ”

Hearing his eldest sister's clueless order, Lu Lin was a little confused.

"What is the purpose of my sister?"

"You just have to lead him there, and you will understand when the time comes."

Seeing that his eldest sister refused to speak, Lu Lin didn't continue to ask, but hurriedly responded.

After this response, Lu Lin went to find Chu Suiliang, who was in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, in the prime of life, but although he was not very old, his calligraphy was already unique, and he had been famous throughout the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and was a teacher of calligraphy for many children of the family.

"Sir, I set up a banquet with a few classmates in Sihaiju, ready to exchange calligraphy and poetry, how about Mr. also go to the party?"

Lu Lin was born in a family, knew the rules quite well, and was full of strategy, although her eldest sister did not tell him what to do, but after he left the Lu Mansion, he had already thought of a way.

A number of baba invited Chu Suiliang to go to Dongshi, but the traces of premeditation were too heavy, and he knew that Chu Suiliang had always liked to participate in elegant parties, so he made an appointment with a few classmates first.

After Lu Lin finished speaking, Chu Suiliang agreed without too much hesitation.

Subsequently, the two went directly to Sihaiju.

At this time, the classmates were already waiting, and after seeing Chu Suiliang, they hurriedly saluted, and after everyone sat down, it was a discussion of poetry and calligraphy.

After more than half of the envoys in this way, Lu Lin finally spoke: "I heard that the Qin family shop opposite sells umbrellas, which is very exquisite, but the price is surprisingly expensive, I really don't know what they think." ”

A classmate wanted to joke and ask your brother-in-law what he thought, but because of Chu Suiliang, he could only give up and said: "I heard that there is an inscription of Qin Tian on it, which is more expensive." ”

Lu Lin smiled lightly: "Even if there is an inscription, it won't be so expensive, you need consistent money for a handful, and you can buy a lot of other umbrellas with consistent money, they are simply putting the cart before the horse." ”

Since he said the words, Chu Suiliang suddenly became interested.

"This Qin Tian's character is still valuable, interesting."

Lu Lin said: "Who said no, do you want to go down and take a look?" ”

Chu Suiliang waved his hand: "What is there to see about Qin Tian's words, don't go, don't go." ”

In Chu Suiliang's opinion, what words can a person like Qin Tian who has no guidance from a famous teacher write?

It's a dirty sight to see.

Seeing this, Lu Lin was a little anxious, and said, "After Mr. goes, point out the words of Qin Tian, so that they can understand the gap, and I am afraid that they will not dare to raise the price so high in the future." ”

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang hesitated, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation.
