CHAPTER XIX
Yu Wen and Chen were both taken aback.
Yu Tang had never cared about these things before, not to mention that the words he said were so sharp.
Chen hurriedly said: "You kid, how do you speak?" The dead are great! Outside, you can't say that. People will say you're mean. β
Yu Tang disagreed, feeling that he couldn't let his parents fall into the role of the chief manager, and said: "It's wrong to be the big manager!" Think about it, when he dies like this, he is healed, and he has a reputation for loyalty, but what about the living? Is their family's errand over? No, not only their family, but also those who are related to their family, I'm afraid they can't do anything in the Pei family. There are also long houses. Although the third master became the sect master, he had the old lady's will, even if there was any intrigue in it, he became the king and defeated the king, and he fought again if he was not convinced, if he died like this, what would others think of Changfang? Is this dissatisfaction with the old lady's arrangement? Or do you want to compete with the third master for the position of the sect master? The Pei family is not a one-person Pei family, they have three branches. The long house is so noisy, aren't you afraid of the other two jokes? Or is it that Changfang has no regard for face and decency, and is bent on pulling the third master off the horse? β
Yu Wen and Chen looked at each other.
Is this still their girl who only knows how to eat, drink and be merry?
When did my daughter have such insight?
Yu Tang didn't have self-knowledge, and asked his parents: "Isn't what I said wrong?" I hate a person like the chief manager who sells fame and fame the mostβonly caring about the honor of his own life and death, and not caring about the life or death of others. As soon as he dies like this, the third master will not be able to escape responsibility, and the long house will also be criticized. β
She was still thinking that such a method of fighting between the snipe and the clam and the fisherman might have come up with it by the second master.
After all, he is the one who benefits from this.
However, Yu Tang was not worried that Master Pei San would fail.
In his previous life, he was a big winner.
is different from her previous life, in her previous life, she thought that Master Pei San was living a very comfortable life, but in this life, it may not be.
Yu Tang sighed and asked his father, "Have you seen the second master of the Pei family?" What kind of man is he? β
At this time, she regretted a little that she didn't pay attention to the things of the Pei family in her previous life.
Yu Wen came back to his senses and said, "Of course I have seen the second master. He is a very good person, knowledgeable, cultivated, mild-mannered, generous, meticulous and thoughtful, making people feel like a spring breeze, and he is a rare gentleman. β
The evaluation of the second master is so high!
Yu Tang was quite surprised.
After thinking about it, I felt that her father was very good at everyone, it was Lu Xin, who sold him a fake painting and gave him money, but he still chose to forgive Lu Xin and did not hate Lu Xin.
In her father's words, even hating people also requires energy, and instead of hating anyone, it is better to climb a mountain, buy a few lake pens, make a new clothes, and be happy.
Thinking of this, she remembered the painting with the seal of "Spring Water Hall" again.
Since the seal on the original work is correct, where did the painting that fell into her hands come from in her previous life?
Yu Tang thought that the next time her father went to see the shopkeeper Tong, would she also make a noisy to go and ask the shopkeeper Tong whose private seal was engraved with "Chunshuitang".
She pondered there, and heard Chen, who had been silent, say to her father: "Huili, I think Ah Tang's words are very reasonable. If the chief manager feels that the long house has been wronged, and wants to stand up for the long house, he can wait for the old lady to go out of the funeral and then ask the third master for justice. β
Yu Tang was pleasantly surprised by his mother's awakening.
Yu Wen smiled bitterly and said, "What is the inside story, we don't know, and it's not easy to discuss." "Euphemistically asked Chen and Yu Tang not to talk about this anymore.
Yu Tang responded with a smile.
Chan nodded as well.
Yu Bo's family came to visit the door.
Yu Wen hastily finished the meal, and Chen instructed Mrs. Chen and Shuangtao to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and make tea in person.
Yu Tang went to wash some fruits.
The two families sat down to talk.
Yu Bo asked Yu Wen about the matter: "Do you know?" β
"Got it!" Yu Wen told his brother what he knew, and judged the chief manager for what Yu Tang had just said.
Yu Tang was a little surprised.
She didn't expect the story of the chief manager to hang himself spread so quickly.
After all, the chief steward has only been dead for a few hours.
But when she saw that her father actually agreed with her words in her heart, she was still very happy, and she smiled beside her.
Yu Bo, like Yu Wen before, felt that the chief manager was a loyal servant, but when he heard Yu Wen say this, he also felt that the chief manager's approach was a little inappropriate. It's just that he came over for something else, and he sighed a few words with his younger brother, and he said, "Brother, do you know who took over the errand of the chief manager?" β
Yu Wen had never cared about this, and he hesitated: "Isn't it the third chief manager?" β
"I heard it wasn't." Yu Bo said worriedly, "I heard that the person who took over the errand of the chief manager was neither the other two chief managers, nor one of the seven stewards, but a man named Pei Man. I've never heard of this man. You've been helping out at Pei's house these days, have you ever heard of this person? β
"Nope!" Yu Wen was stunned and said, "This surname is Pei, and he does servant things, he is definitely not a child of the Pei family." That's the surname given. can be given a surname, he must be a very outstanding servant, but the Pei family and our neighbors in the township, such an outstanding person, even if you haven't seen it, you should have heard of it. This guy named Pei Man suddenly appeared like this, and he became the chief manager all of a sudden......"
"That's what I thought too." Yu Bo said disappointedly, "I thought I was a businessman, and I didn't have much contact with the Pei family, so I hadn't heard of it!" β
Yu Wen said: "What are you asking about this?" Didn't Master Pei San agree to the previous matter of building a shop? Now that he is the sect master, it is even more unlikely that anything has changed. β
Yu Bo scratched his head and said, "I'm not worried about this. I was thinking that this Pei Man would become the general manager, so I had to go and congratulate him, if I could get some news from you, I would be able to talk to him a few more words at that time. Don't you know, now that business is difficult to do, and the patterns handed down by our ancestors have been burned, I wondered, the shop was rebuilt, should we change to another business. β
Yu Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.
Yu Tang felt that the lobby brother was more powerful in business than the eldest uncle, so he decided to help a group of lobby brothers. She relied on the fact that she was still a little girl, and her parents and uncles were very indulgent to her, and interjected: "The eldest uncle also said that business is not good, if you want to change careers, it is better to let the lobby brother go outside to take a walk, the lobby brother has the true inheritance of the eldest uncle, and he will definitely be able to gain something." β
Yu Bo saw his niece patting his ass, he laughed hehe, he was in a very comfortable mood, and waved his big hand: "It's okay!" Anyway, during this time, I am busy rebuilding the shop, so I will ask your lobby brother to live in Hangzhou Mansion for a few days to see how others do business. β
I don't think Yu Yuan can have any good ideas.
Yu Yuan is a man, Yu Bo is more strict with him, he is also more regular, and the elders dare not speak when they speak.
He glared at Yu Tang and responded respectfully "yes".
The brothers Yu Bo and Yu Wen continued to gossip, and Yu Yuan took the time to pull Yu Tang out and threatened her: "If you talk like this again, I won't bring you a grate comb and headband when I go to Hangzhou Mansion." How can the ancestral lacquer art of our Yu family change its course casually? What's more, there are tricks in all walks of life, and it's not like you said, you can get started by just looking at it. β
Yu Tang doesn't know anything about doing business, but she knows that if she wants to do good things, she must first be a good person, and if she wants to be a good person, she must have a vision and pattern.
"Brother Hall, don't worry, I'm not making trouble." She smiled and Yu Yuan explained, "Even if you don't agree with what the eldest uncle does, it's not good for you to object. Rather than reluctantly following your uncle like you, it would be better to go out and see how the world-famous shops entertain their merchants. β
Yu Yuan's heart moved.
Yu Tang said: "Brother Hall, I will subsidize you with five taels of silver." β
Yu Yuan knocked on Yu Tang's head and said, "With your little silver, you can buy a few more packets of silk candy, and you want to support me." β
"Brother Hall, you can't look down on people!"
The brother and sister made a mess.
After sending off his eldest uncle's family, Yu Tang began to prepare to entertain Ma Xiuniang as a guest at home. Yu Wen also went to the street to order ice for this matter, and told Ah Mo to wait for Ma Xiuniang to arrive before going to the store to get it.
Ma Xiuniang ate the osmanthus brown sugar jelly mixed with ice, her eyes were full of envy, leaning on the Luohan couch with a mat, squeaking and biting the ice, and said vaguely: "Ah Tang...... Delicious...... Otherwise, you hired my second brother as a son-in-law...... Although he is only nine years old this year, you have been raised since childhood, and he must be obedient......"
Yu Tang hasn't eaten osmanthus brown sugar jelly mixed with ice for a long time.
In the past, when she didn't go out of the cabinet, the Chen family didn't let her eat more, for fear that she would have a cold stomach, and later married into the Li family, but because the Lin family wanted to toss her, everyone had it, but they didn't give her food.
She happily scooped a big spoonful of ice into her mouth, "bah" Ma Xiuniang, and said: "I don't want to help you raise your younger brother, my family wants to recruit a son-in-law, and I must recruit a son-in-law who can do business, so I don't want to be a scholar!" β
"Why?" Ma Xiuniang was surprised, "Xiucai doesn't need to be taxed, and he is still respected." β
Yu Tang said disapprerovingly: "Who is willing to be someone's son-in-law who can read, anyway, my father is already a showman, recruit someone who can do business, make the family more solid, and urge the children and grandchildren to study in the future." β
"Hee-hee-hee!" Ma Xiuniang covered her mouth and smiled, "It turns out that you want your son to earn your life!" β
The little sisters will definitely talk nonsense when they meet each other, but when it comes to Ma Xiuniang, it still makes people a little ashamed.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yu Tang threw the bowl and scratched Ma Xiuniang's armpit, "I think you just want to wait for your husband to earn your life!" β
Ma Xiuniang screamed and avoided the couch to the door.
Yu Tang's hand paused, looked out of the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, and raised his eyebrows.
"What's wrong?" Ma Xiuniang turned around and looked over.
Outside the curtain, Mrs. Chen was leading Mrs. Tang with a maid to Chen's main room.
"What is she here for?" Ma Xiuniang stood beside Yu Tang and said with some annoyance, "She is the most snobbish, and there is nothing she won't come to." β
