Chapter 44: Returning Home
Yu Tang is a very open-minded person.
Otherwise, in the past few years in the Li family, she would have been crazy by the Lin family.
Now that she had made her decision, she wouldn't think about it again.
Just do what they have consulted.
Master Qian said that he wanted to restore the paintings, and he would give them a fake, and he copied three paintings, but he couldn't hand over the goods for a while, and added thirty taels of silver.
Yu Wen immediately made a decision, quietly borrowed thirty taels of silver from Tong Er's shopkeeper, and made an appointment to return it after returning to Lin'an, and was afraid that Tong Er's shopkeeper would tell this matter and let others doubt their purpose in Hangzhou, Yu Wen repeatedly asked Tong Er's shopkeeper to keep it secret, and said: "I'm a showman, it's too embarrassing for this to go out." You're going to help me round the field. ”
In fact, he was afraid that some people would suspect the purpose of his coming to Hangzhou.
There are many down-and-out scholars, and even some officials do not have enough money. Tong Er's shopkeeper saw too much and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this." Then let Yuwen write an IOU and hide it in the treasury of the pawnshop: "This is more reliable than the treasury of the Hangzhou City Government, you can rest assured!" ”
If Yu Wen didn't believe in the Pei family's pawnshop, he wouldn't have come here to borrow silver.
He thanked Tong Er's shopkeeper well, and then returned to the inn.
Yu Tang had nothing to do in the inn, and used these two days not only to make a begonia flower head flower for Chen, but also to make a plum blossom head flower for the inn's proprietress of red velvet.
The proprietress was very happy when she received it, and praised her for her good work, and said, "I haven't seen such a delicate thing in years." Do you want to make some money on this? If you are interested, I can help you ask how much the Cai family's pollen shop costs? After you return to Lin'an, you can bring the finished head flowers to the shopkeeper Tong of the Pei family's pawnshop, and I will help you sell them to the Cai family's pollen shop. ”
Yu Tang never thought of making money from this in her life, so she couldn't help but hesitate a little and said, "Is the hair flower I made really so good?" Are pollen shops willing to accept it? I don't know how many flowers I can make a month, and I don't know how many flowers I can make. ”
The proprietress smiled: "If you really have the heart to do this business, go back and think about it carefully, see how much you can do in a month, and how much money will you have to spend?" When you have a score in mind, it's not too late to come back to me. I'm here at any time anyway, and you can find me if you come. ”
Yu Tang thanked again and again, and used the idle days to make seven or eight flowers in a row. It happened that Yu Yuan came back to change clothes, and she called Yu Yuan to ask him to help her calculate the cost.
It's not like I don't know, it's a big surprise.
Just these seven or eight flowers, it cost less than ten yuan, at least thirty yuan one, and I also earned a lot.
Yu Yuan thought for a moment and discussed with Yu Tang: "What do you say we do about this business?" ”
It's okay to make a few head flowers to supplement the family occasionally, but Yu Tang has never thought about doing this business for a long time. But she will support everything Yu Yuan wants to do.
"Then brother, go and inquire about the market!" Yu Tang Road.
Yu Yuan thought about it, and finally sighed, and said with a somewhat bitter smile: "Forget it!" Daddy is bent on reviving our family's lacquerware shop. ”
Yu Tang has never visited Hangzhou City like this before, and he has always felt that the shop at home is very good. Now that I have visited Hangzhou City, I feel that Lin'an is a little small, and I understand why Yu Yuan is a little "peaceful". But there are some roads, you have to go by yourself, feel by yourself, choose by yourself, and strive for yourself.
She smiled and asked about Master Qian's side: "You have been staying there for the past few days, is it going well?" ”
"Smooth!" Yu Yuan said, "Master Qian's craftsmanship still has nothing to say. ”
When he got the work back, everyone looked left and right, but they didn't see any difference from the original picture. Yu Wen was amazed and wanted to know Master Qian, but was rejected by Master Qian very directly. Yu Wen was very disappointed, but knew that such a thing could not be forced, packed his luggage, and prepared to return to Lin'an.
Yu Tang asked Yu Yuan to accompany her to the alley where gouache headdresses were sold, and bought some materials and tools for making head flowers. Before preparing to leave for Lin'an, Yu Wen took them to thank Pei Yan.
But Pei Yan and Zhou Zhuangyuan went to Huai'an.
According to Tong Er's shopkeeper, the nephew of Zhou Zhuangyuan's family was transferred to the Huai'an prefect, and Zhou Zhuangyuan pulled Pei Yan over.
Yu Wen was very envious and said: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." I don't know when I'll be able to do that. ”
There are three points of risk, but Yu Tang doesn't want Yu Wen to go far.
She said bluntly: "That's because the third master of the Pei family and Zhou Zhuangyuan have acquaintances. You'd better stay at home with me and Mom! ”
Yu Wen laughed, touched her daughter's soft green silk, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm envious and envious, let me leave you and your mother to go out to play, it's okay for three or four days, but it's not okay after a long time." ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
They thanked the innkeeper and the hostess and boarded the boat at the small pier not far from the Pei family's pawnshop.
It's smooth, but for two hours, Tiaoxi Wharf is in sight.
The big banner of the Pei family's pawnshop is still swaying in the wind, and the dock is still so lively.
Yu Tang seems to have been gone for a year and a half, and even the hustle and bustle has become cordial.
She jumped off the board.
The shopkeeper shouted at her from afar: "Slow down, slow down, be careful of falling into the water." ”
Yu Tang grinned and stepped forward to salute the shopkeeper Tong.
The shopkeeper Tong stepped forward with a smile and greeted Yu Wen: "Brother said that you came back today, I was thinking about why you haven't arrived yet, but I didn't expect you to arrive." How was the trip to Hangzhou? ”
"Very good!" Yu Wen and the shopkeeper Tong walked side by side, walking forward and thanking him on the other, "If it weren't for Brother Ling, our girl would have suffered." "I told the shopkeeper Tong about inviting a doctor.
Yu Tang said angrily beside him: "Daddy, just talk to the shopkeeper Tong, don't tell the second person." ”
Yu Wen and the shopkeeper Tong were stunned, then laughed and said, "The little girl is shy." We will definitely not talk about it in the future, and we will not talk about it. ”
The shopkeeper Tong invited Yu Wen to the shop to drink tea and rest.
Yu Wen was worried about the Chen family at home, and politely refused.
Yu Tang gave a few of the first flowers he made to the ladies of the Tong family.
Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Xiao Tong liked it very much, and knew that Yu Tang made it himself, so they took out handkerchiefs or brocade socks as return gifts, and told Yu Tang to come over with Chen when he was fine.
Yu Tang responded with a smile.
When I got home, I generously started delivering what I had made
Chen's, Mrs. Chen, Shuangtao, Ma Xiuniang, Mrs. Ma...... The female relatives of Mr. Wu's family next door also sent a box.
Everyone praised Yu Tang's dexterity, but only Chen asked Yu Tang suspiciously: "Is this really what you did?" Didn't buy it? ”
Yu Tang made one for Chen on the spot.
Chen was very surprised, hugged Yu Tang and said with a smile: "You kid, I didn't expect to have such a craft." When did you learn it? How did I not know? ”
Yu Tang didn't tell Chen.
In the evening, when Chen and Yuwen whispered, they blamed themselves a little, and said: "Although I am sick and have no energy to take care of Ah Tang everywhere, I am still too negligent to her, and I don't even know that she will do hair flowers." ”
Yu Wen thought about the map, and responded vaguely, "Go to sleep!" Don't worry about it. Ah Tang now has an idea, she can support the court in the future, and we may really be able to enjoy her blessings. ”
