Chapter 4: A Good Show
Ye Yu was not surprised by Lu Zheng's attack, but took out a white porcelain bowl with exquisite workmanship from his sleeve.
At this time, Qiulan had already taken out the wine jug from the room, and then poured the wine into the white porcelain bowl at Ye Yu's signal.
"Master Lu, please!" Ye Yu's eyebrows were as flat as usual, and he motioned for Lu Zheng to sit down and drink.
After experiencing the previous events, Lu Zheng had already raised his vigilance, and seeing that Ye Yu was so calm and composed, he muttered repeatedly in his mouth, wondering if Ye Yu would use homophonic tricks to pass the test again: "One hundred bowls...... 100 bowls...... A white bowl! β
When Lu Zheng locked his eyes on the white porcelain bowl on the table, he suddenly realized the mystery in it.
So he smiled coldly, took out yesterday's note from his sleeve and snorted coldly: "Ye Yu, just now you used homophony to confuse, only blame Ben Gongzi for underestimating you, since there is no clear provision of details on this note, so Ben Gongzi has the right to pass the test ......."
When Lu Zheng said this, he suddenly changed his words, and then snorted coldly: "However, this note says that there are a hundred bowls of wine, but it is not something that you can confuse with a white porcelain bowl. This 'hundred' and 'white' Ben Gongzi can see it clearly, and the words are clearly written! β
Lu Zheng's cynicism, Ye Yu still ignored it, but picked up the wine in the bowl and took a sip, and then sneered: "Lu Gongzi is too worried, Ye Mou doesn't have this thought!" β
"So you're throwing in the towel?" At this moment, Lu Zheng's words were no longer as firm as before, because he felt that the Ye Yu in front of him was not simple.
"No, Lu Gongzi misunderstood!" Ye Yu waved his hand, and then said solemnly: "If Ye didn't guess wrong, presumably Lu Gongzi already knew Ye's background!" β
"Humph! So what, you're just a lost dog! β
"You! β¦β¦β
Qiu Lan on the side was stunned when she heard this, and wanted to fight back against Lu Zheng for the young master, but was stopped by Ye Yu's words.
Ye Yu, who showed a wry smile, didn't want to fight back, but he knew the environment he was in.
As Lu Zheng said, he is indeed a lost dog, and he is also a cripple with his legs broken.
However, these humiliations are nothing to Di Yeyu now.
used to be a soldier in military uniform, but in the end he was betrayed by his comrades and walked into prison, and the contrast between before and after has made him taste the ups and downs.
"Since Lu Gongzi already knows, Ye also saves the effort of explaining. The Ye family is second to none among the merchants in this state, and there are many industries involved, Ye will not describe them one by one, but among them, porcelain is the main ......"
Ye Yu said, then reached out to play with the porcelain bowl containing the wine, and then said: "My Great Song Dynasty porcelain is clearly divided between north and south, so there is a saying of 'green in the south and white in the north', and Jingde is particularly famous in the south. Chuzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and white porcelain is much more expensive for the south......"
"Humph! This truth is naturally known to my son! You've come full circle, what exactly are you trying to say? β
At that time, my father saw that there was a lot of profit to be made, so he spent a lot of money to set up a porcelain kiln workshop. However, how can things be as good as expected, and the 99 sets of porcelain out of the kiln are not satisfactory, only the last set of bowl porcelain meets the standard.
In order to keep this hundredth set of porcelain as a commemoration, my father carved a word on one of the exquisite porcelain bowls to show that my Ye family porcelain kiln was not easy to come by! β
Ye Yu talked about the past here, then drank all the wine in the bowl, and then turned the white porcelain bowl over.
When Lu Zheng stared at the bottom of the white porcelain bowl, a word 'hundred' engraved on the bottom of the bowl came into view!
Ye Yu pointed to the word 'hundred' at the bottom of the bowl, and then said calmly: "My father handed over this thing to Ye before his death, hoping that Ye would be indomitable in the face of trouble. Ninety-nine setbacks, there is always a smooth road! This thing is not a precious thing, but Ye has benefited for life......"
When Lu Zheng saw the word 'hundred' at the bottom of the porcelain bowl, he knew that this time he was powerless to fight back.
There is such a bowl called 'Hundred Bowls', isn't it a 'hundred' bowl of wine when it is filled with wine?
Lu Zheng sat weakly on the stone bench beside him, he didn't know what to say at the moment.
was fooled by Ye Yu one after another, he was both resentful of Ye Yu's cunning, and he also laughed at himself for being treated like a monkey by others.
Seeing that Lu Zheng was indifferent and silent, Ye Yu opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, Ye hopes that this matter will be over, and I hope you won't make more trouble!" If you are aggressive again, Ye is willing to go to court with you in this matter, then the reason why the jade unicorn is broken is because someone deliberately broke it and not Qiulan broke it! Lu Gongzi, do you think Ye doesn't know? β
"You! β¦β¦ Hum! Ye Yu, this son will not stop there! Lu Zheng glared at Ye Yu fiercely as he spoke, and then flicked his sleeves and left resentfully.
Looking at the back of Lu Zheng's master and servant leaving, Ye Yu felt very helpless.
Although the crack of the jade unicorn he saw yesterday was a new injury, from the broken Cheng dΓΉ and the corner marks, Ye Yu could be sure that the damage to the jade unicorn was not caused by falling, but by someone throwing it on the ground.
For Ye Yu, who is proficient in mechanics, he had already seen the clues at that time.
But he didn't want to cause more trouble, and he didn't want to cause trouble at this time, but the world was always unpredictable.
Although he has retired from Lu Zheng now, this grudge has been settled.
No one can predict how Lu Zheng will retaliate in the future, and the only thing he can do is to wait and see.
"Young Master, you are so smart!" Now that Lu Zheng has retreated in front of Ye Yu, the happiest one is Qiulan.
Ye Yu shook his head noncommittally, then took out the drawings drawn yesterday from the back of the chair, and said, "Qiulan, you take this drawing, go to Carpenter Shen, and ask him to build a wheelchair!" β
"Wheelchair?" Qiulan tilted her head, looking at the intricate lines on the drawing, and her doubts were even greater. She'd heard of wheelchairs, but she'd never seen them.
Ye Yu nodded lightly: "Well, with a wheelchair, I can also share some of the trivial chores at home, and when I have time, I can also go out to see the outside world......"
It was not surprising to Qiu Lan's novelty Ye Yu, although the real record of wheelchairs was in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it was not really popularized and improved.
Moreover, the drawings I drew were based on the prototype design of my later wheelchairs, which were much more practical than today's wheelchairs.
Ye Yu raised his eyes and looked at the sky, he had been trapped in the courtyard for so long, it was time to take a look at the outside world.
Time is like flowing water, unconsciously passing by, on this day the weather is sunny, Qiulan pushed a wheelchair to carry Ye Yu to Yongan Street.
Along the way, Ye Yu browsed the ancient streets and wine shops, and in addition to the novelty in his eyes, there was more of an inexplicable expectation.
A new life, but also a new beginning!
Before she knew it, she came to the corner of the street, and Qiulan pushed her wheelchair and stopped at the door of a ready-to-wear shop.
Ye Yu glanced up at the plaque at the door, with the four big characters of 'repairing clothes and raising the body', the font is handsome and powerful, and it seems to have a bit of fire from the Tang Dynasty Liu Gongquan.
Ye Yu has studied ancient history, especially the Song Dynasty.
This garment shop is in the same vein as the cloth village, which mainly sells fabrics, and this garment shop is a place where tailors make clothes and buy and sell clothes.
Ye Yu motioned for Qiu Lan to continue walking, but Qiu Lan had no intention of moving. Ye Yu didn't know what he meant, so he turned his head sideways to ask.
"Young Master, your clothes have long been torn, why don't you go in and buy a new one!" Before Ye Yu could speak, Qiu Lan had already spoken.
When Ye Yu heard this, he smiled speechlessly: "You girl, you have spent a lot of savings for this wheelchair, and now the expenses of the whole family are all supported by your clothes, it is better to reduce expenses!" β
As he spoke, he had to roll his wheelchair forward, but no matter how hard Ye Yu tried, he couldn't take half a step forward, because Qiulan grabbed the back of the chair and dragged it back.
"Young master, the fabric has already been bought, if you don't buy new clothes, wouldn't it be a waste?"
"What? I've already bought it, why didn't I know about it? β
Ye Yu was quite stunned when he heard this, so he stared at Qiu Lan tightly, he needed to know what was going on.
Qiulan lowered her head a little nervously and told Ye Yu the reason for this.
After listening to this, Ye Yu felt mixed feelings, and he didn't know whether to blame or pity.
It turned out that in the days when Ye Yu was seriously ill, Qiulan's daily amount of clothes was three times that of the past. Seeing that the young master was depressed and silent all day, she knew that the young master was depressed because of his legs.
So she hoped that she could save enough money for the clinic as soon as possible and ask the best doctor in the city to treat the young master's legs.
Now seeing that Ye Yu is no longer depressed, Qiu Lan, who is overjoyed, decides to buy new clothes for Ye Yu.
Since she didn't know how to tailor and make clothes, in order not to let Ye Yu complain about her, she bought cloth from the cloth village and temporarily stored it in the zΓ i garment shop.
Now that he has a surplus of money in his hand, he can pay for the tailor's manual cost of making clothes, so he explained the matter to Ye Yu.
"Young master, Qiu Lan knows that she is wrong, but your clothes are white and ......wrinkled" Qiu Lan saw that Ye Yu was silent for a long time and did not speak, thinking that she was complaining about her assertiveness, so she explained with an uneasy heart.
"On that day, you came to Yong'an Street to sell fabrics for me to make new clothes?" Ye Yu's voice was a little low, and he asked Qiulan with a complicated expression.
Seeing that Qiulan didn't speak, Ye Yu already knew the answer, and then said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I blame you!" Let's go, let's go in and see......" His voice was low and slight, and then he lowered his head and said nothing.
Qiulan pushed the wheelchair towards the shop, and while pushing the wheelchair, she introduced the ready-to-wear shop to Ye Yu.
According to Qiulan, the clothes cut by this newly opened ready-to-wear shop are diverse and inexpensive, and are deeply loved by the people in the city.
As a result, the store is small but full of customers.
When the two of them came to the shop, they found that the atmosphere was a little abnormal, because there was not a single guest in the lobby, but a few more fierce thugs.
The leader was dressed in green clothes, with a thin body and slightly squinted eyes, and was looking coldly at an old man opposite.
Immediately after that, the lean middle-aged man arched his hand with a smile and took the lead in speaking: "I heard that Shopkeeper Su is skilled, and anyone can make clothes, so today Li specially brought someone here, and I hope that Shopkeeper Su will make a dress for this old friend!" β
Shopkeeper Su returned the salute and smiled gently: "Shopkeeper Li is polite, you and I are both peers, since you are shopkeeper Li and your old friend, why do you need Su to show ugliness?" β
"Eh, Shopkeeper Su's words are wrong, who doesn't know that your craftsmanship is unique in this county?"
The lean man surnamed Li waved his hand and then pretended to be humble: "Li thinks that his skills are not perfect, and he can't make this old man's clothes!" β
After that, without waiting for Shopkeeper Su to respond, he clapped his hands, and several family members immediately led a woman with a rope from the outside.
The woman's hands were tied with ropes, and as soon as she stood still, a strong smell emanated from her body, and the housekeepers immediately covered their noses and hid away.
Ye Yu, who was watching from the side, also frowned slightly, this strange smell made Ye Yu feel the urge to vomit.
However, Ye Yu was a little curious about this woman who was wrapped like a dumpling.
How this man surnamed Li wants to embarrass the shopkeeper Su, Ye Yu is very interested in this.
It was rare to encounter a confrontation scene when he went out, so he ordered Qiulan to push him to the side, and then watched the good show in the hall with great interest.
