Chapter Seventy-One: How Can Good Things Be Left to Outsiders to Make Money
The study of things was not very popular among the literati, and few people from orthodox scholars were willing to get involved in this discipline.
If these two things were made by Dabao, the old master would definitely teach him a painful lesson. But this is not what Sister Dabao did, a woman can make such a thing, which is enough to praise her intelligence.
In addition to the two pieces given to the master, Wei Jin also made a set for Wei Zhan. But it's not for him to use, it's for him to take it away and give it away, such as the fourth uncle who came last time, and then Wei Zhan's father.
She let Wei Zan give such a large amount of money, she has to give some visible benefits.
The pigment dye has not seen any results for the time being, but the crystal lens is not difficult to make, as long as you know the principle, the master can do it in minutes.
The person Wei Jin went to find was a craftsman, not an ordinary person. He is also a member of the Wei family, but in the early years, he joined his wife's house and learned the craft of making jewelry from his father-in-law. The most important thing is that this old craftsman has no children, no daughters and no heirs, he rarely interacts with people, and his mouth is tighter than a mussel shell.
His wife and children were in an accident in a flash flood more than ten years ago, after which he returned to Xizhen, opened a small shop in the town, and went to the temple to do a ritual for his deceased family when he had a little money to spare.
When others get Wei Jin's method, they must try their best to grab it in their hands for their own benefit, but he is different, he doesn't care at all if the method is lawless, as long as the salary is enough, he doesn't care about anything else.
A few days later, the old craftsman was eating at home, and there was a knock on the door.
"Who are you, who are you looking for?"
Looking at the noble boy at the door, the old craftsman was a little more vigilant in his eyes.
"Is it Wei Gong? I'm Wei Zhan, a member of the Wei clan. ”
Although the old craftsman did not go back to the village to participate in the ancestor worship, he also knew who Wei Zan was and what his origin was. I just don't understand how he suddenly found him.
Wei Zhan's purpose in coming to him was very simple, that is, he wanted him to return to the clan and control this craft in the hands of his own clan.
Wei Jin gave him the things casually, and he didn't feel anything at first. If Dabao hadn't been bored to talk to him about it, and let him feel it on the spot, he would have almost been ignored by Wei Jin's ordinary expression.
After knowing the practical use of these two things, Wei Zan almost turned white with anger.
Such a good thing was just given away? This guy simply doesn't have the slightest sense of vigilance!
Of course, it is impossible to recover the gift given to the old master, but he can brand this thing with the Wei clan as soon as possible, at least not to give others a chance to take advantage of.
Thinking of what kind of turmoil this thing might cause in the clan, Wei Zan wanted to laugh three times.
Before, he invited himself to go out to study, and the brothers of the same generation in the clan laughed at him, but now that he thinks about it, if he hadn't come out, he wouldn't have met such a big baby as Wei Jin.
With her presence, even the boredom caused by the lack of progress in what she originally wanted to do has subsided a lot.
Those who have already joined the Wei family are not considered members of the Wei family, but Wei Jiang's matter is a little different.
First of all, Wei Jiang's father-in-law is also rich, but his craftsmanship of making jewelry was learned by himself in his hometown. It was he who was discovered stealing the teacher back then, and escaped overnight, and was rescued by Wei Jiang's mother-in-law on the way, and then he naturally entered the family.
When he came to Wei Jiang, he came here because he was too poor, his mother died and his father was sick, so he came here in order to make money for his father's medical treatment. As a result, before the two of them got married, Wei Jiang's father went, and refused to close his eyes when he heard that he died.
In fact, Wei Jiang's father-in-law also asked him later if he wanted to just forget it, or marry a normal man and a woman. But Wei Jiang refused, saying that he had promised to do it.
I didn't want to get married soon, the old man and his wife lost their lives when they encountered a bandit when they went out, and after a few years, his wife took the two children to the next county to visit relatives, and the road encountered a flash flood and disappeared.
At this time, it doesn't matter if Wei Jiang is rich or not, his father-in-law's family is rootless, even if he is still in the sect now, no one will come to trouble him. But Wei Jiang never went back to Wei's house.
"If you agree to return to the sect, I will ask the elders to make the decision and move the graves of your wife and children back to the clan, so that you can enjoy the worship of future generations in the future."
Wei Jiang has not saved any money for so many years, but he has spent his money on it. He felt that he didn't have to leave too much family property anyway, so it was better to burn it to his wife and children as soon as possible, lest after he was gone, there would be no one to provide incense for the whole family.
If you can really move the graves of your wives and children back, you don't need to go to the main grave, you just need to bring them with you during the annual sacrifice, and you will no longer be wandering ghosts.
Wei Zan saw Wei Jiang's eyes flashing, and he knew that he was moved.
"Well, it's no wonder you don't believe it. Wait for my clan uncle to come back in the future, and when the time comes, I will ask him to discuss with the patriarch and give you a letter of approval. ”
Wei Jiang hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.
Hurry up, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the other ten sets of glasses and magnifying glasses made by Wei Zhan were sent back to the main house by Wei Zhan.
Daddy Wei Zhan, who got this thing, looked dazed. He has never understood his son's thoughts, including his refusal to join the office, and his direct proposal to go on a study tour without anyone negotiating.
What can my son do? It's not just petting.
But what the hell is it that I sent so many boxes of crystal pieces home during the New Year?
With a stomach full of resentment, Father Wei pulled out his son's letter.
After reading it, Daddy Wei's eyes changed, and after thinking about it, he decisively opened a box, took out the magnifying glass in the shape of a tortoiseshell handle wrapped in a branch, and took a picture of it on the book. Good guy, Rao was prepared for a long time, and he was also taken aback.
This time, the lenses were carefully made by Wei Craftsman with all his strength, and in terms of production level and fineness, they were much better than those given to the old master before.
The frames of this batch are also made of copper-doped silver, which has the luster of silver and is not too soft and easy to deform.
In addition to tortoiseshell, the handle of the magnifying glass also has agate, jade, bronze and other materials, and the shape and carving are also different.
This is still because the time is too rushed, if there is enough time, Wei Jiang can make more tricks.
The wooden box containing the glasses was carved from bamboo by craftsmen in Zhangjia Village, and the protective cover of the magnifying glass was embroidered by the women of the Wei family.
After Wei Zhan's father calmed down, he went to the eldest brother's house with this stack of boxes.
It just so happened that his father was also living at the eldest brother's house, and when he arrived, the children of the eldest brother's family were all there, and the youngest two were standing against the wall with sad faces.
"This is, what about homework in the school?"
He followed behind his eldest brother and asked casually, without waiting for his brother to answer, he urged him to hurry into the study, so that the old man should stop tossing the juniors and come to see the good things!
