Chapter 197: Supplement

So fast!

Yu Tang was very surprised, but after being surprised, he became happy again, and felt that he was lucky to choose Xiao Tong's shopkeeper to help.

She thanked the shopkeeper Tong.

The shopkeeper Tong waved his hand, and asked the shopkeeper to call the shopkeeper Xiao Tong over, and the three of them sat in the small flower hall in the inner hall behind the pawnshop to discuss the future.

The meaning of the shopkeeper of Tong is to ask the master outside to help make a batch of incense sticks with a large foot basin and a thick incense stick for the lecture meeting, and then teach the master and lay people of Ku'an Temple how to make this kind of incense, plus the incense-making method that the second and third ladies have taught, a large part of the incense made is sent to the Pei family's incense candle shop for sale, and a small part is left in the temple, or sold to people who come to ask for incense, or given to pilgrims who come to Ku'an Temple to offer incense.

The former Yu Tang can understand, this is exactly the same as she thinks, but the latter she is a little confused, and said: "Ku'an Temple is quite remote, there are almost no pilgrims, it is good for people who come to incense to give some Buddha incense, but you can sell incense to people who come to ask for incense......"

Eight or nine times out of ten no one buys it!

The fat face of the shopkeeper Tong smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and said, "Miss Yu, doing business is not so simple. Sometimes it's to make money, sometimes it's to make a name for yourself. Sometimes it's more important to make money, and sometimes it's fame. In the final analysis, Ku'an Temple is to do good deeds, and since you do good deeds, your reputation is more important. What's more, Ku'an Temple doesn't have any reputation at all now, so how to open the reputation of Ku'an Temple is the first important thing. As you said, Ku'an Temple is remote, there are few pilgrims, and there are even fewer people who come to ask for incense, but our original intention is not to sell incense - think about it, if you go to Ku'an Temple to offer incense, you will get incense, but those who don't go in to offer incense, want to get the Buddha incense of Ku'an Temple, but you have to buy it with silver. Did you choose to go in and have an incense? Or do you choose to pass through the door and just buy a piece of incense and leave? ”

Yu Tang was suddenly thoughtful.

The shopkeeper Tong looked at it and nodded secretly.

No wonder Yu Xiucai is reluctant to marry this daughter, this is a clever one, a little bit is thorough, maybe in a few years you can really support the Yu family!

The shopkeeper Tong was happy in his heart, so he simply said more: "Therefore, the incense given to Zhaoming Temple is very important." It must smell good, and it must make those women feel comfortable smelling it. When Ah Hai went over, the first thing he did was to smell what those Buddha incense smelled like. I've heard that there is an incense recipe that can make sandalwood-scented Buddha incense. I think this is good, we can make a batch of sandalwood-scented Buddha incense separately, what Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals can be sent, first come, first served, while supplies last. You can also make some soothing incense, and many older pilgrims have trouble sleeping well......"

He talked a little bit about business, and when he felt that Yu Tang looked at him with a little stunned, he was shocked that he had said too much, so he hurriedly stopped the topic and said with a smile: "These are all things I think casually, what to do specifically, we have to analyze it according to the actual situation, we will talk about it after a good discussion." ”

But just talking about it casually has opened Yu Tang's eyes.

She hurriedly said, "You say, you say." It's just that I didn't think about it so much before, I'm afraid that I won't remember it for a while, can you let me find a pen and ink to write it down? ”

The shopkeeper Tong was stunned, and then laughed.

Yu Tang blushed and said hurriedly: "I, my brain is really a little insufficient, you better stop laughing at me." ”

"It's good, it's good." The shopkeeper Tong didn't care, and said with a smile, "I'm also a person who has brought a lot of apprentices, I'm not afraid that I don't know, I'm afraid that I'm not serious." It's good that you're doing this, and the business of Ku'an Temple will definitely be able to get going. ”

It turned out that in the eyes of the shopkeeper Tong, the matter of Ku'an Temple was just a business.

Yu Tang smiled sheepishly.

Only then did the shopkeeper of Xiao Tong have the opportunity to speak. He respectfully asked Yu Tang: "Can I take a look at the incense side?" I've heard of these herbs from a single book. Since it is in the only book, it must be the incense recipe of the previous dynasty. The people of the previous dynasty used incense to advocate luxury, and now people use incense to advocate elegance, and this incense recipe is afraid to be adjusted. ”

This is a misunderstanding.

This incense recipe was matched by Gu Xi in the previous life, which not only conforms to the hobbies of modern people, but also is especially liked by women.

Xiao Tong's shopkeeper has never seen the prepared incense, so he will naturally be worried.

Yu Tang immediately agreed: "We just want to help Ku'an Temple have an income, so that we don't live on incense, you can change it as much as you want." ”

As long as the person invited by Xiao Tong's shopkeeper has this ability.

The big and small shopkeepers were obviously relieved.

Yu Tang secretly pursed his lips and smiled.

She stayed in the pawnshop for almost an hour, and the three of them gave a rough idea of the future charter, but if she continued, it would involve some details. Xiao Tong's shopkeeper has just taken over, Yu Tang has not gone to Ku'an Temple to see it again, he doesn't know, he doesn't know what he answers, they didn't continue to discuss, but made an appointment to wait for Xiao Tong's shopkeeper to go to Ku'an Temple to see, and found the master who made incense.

Yu Tang got up and said goodbye.

The big and small shopkeepers sent her out.

It is the season of spring flowers, the camphor branches in the courtyard of the pawnshop are green, fresh and pleasant, and the koi fish raised in the pond under the tree are swaying, lively and lovely.

Yu Tang couldn't help but pause slightly.

She suddenly remembered the first time she had entered the inner hall.

Pei Yan is in the private room.

She saw his silhouette through the patio.

It seems as if it happened yesterday.

But in fact, almost two years have passed.

Yu Tang curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

At that time, she just thought that Pei Yan was handsome and unforgettable, but she didn't expect that one day she would become Pei Yan's guest of honor, and she would have so many entanglements with the Pei family.

She returned to Yu's house in a happy mood.

On the side of Pei's Mansion, Shu Qing came back from Ku'an Temple and was talking to Pei Yan about repairing the road: "It's all arranged, at most ten days, the road can be passed, but if all the bluestone slabs are paved, I'm afraid it will take half a year." ”

The most important thing is that during this time, every household either has to spring plough or plant mulberry to prepare for silkworm raising, and there may not be young and middle-aged people to help build roads.

He hesitated: "Do you want to ask Governor Tang for a favor?" ”

The nine-year term of the Tang Governor's Mansion is almost over, and he has been looking for a way to transfer to a better place, but because after the Li family's private raising of homeless people as bandits was revealed last time, he neither wanted to offend the Pei family, nor did he want to offend the Li family, who seemed to be upstarts in his eyes, and the result of the two sides was that both sides were not satisfied with the results of his treatment, and at this juncture, the two families naturally would not help him.

He was anxious about it.

But Pei Yan didn't want to give Tang Zhifu this opportunity, he said: "Our roots are in Lin'an City, if we connive at a parent official like Tang Zhifu, what will the officials who come to take office in the future think?" According to me, the matter of the Li family's private reception of the homeless people has to be mentioned again and again, and the corner where he is kicked to be an official is the one who will make those who go to Lin'an to be officials open their eyes and know what to do and what not to do. ”

Shu Qing thought about it and made sense, so he nodded, and was ready to continue to talk to Pei Yan about the prefect - after the Tang prefect left, who would come to Lin'an as the parent official, if they had the heart, they could influence the appointment and dismissal of Lin'an's officials. Who knew that Pei Yan changed the topic and turned to the lecture meeting of Zhaoming Temple on the Buddha Festival: "Did the itinerary for that day come out?" How is the donation arranged? ”

He was stunned.

To be honest, this is a trivial matter, and with his status in Pei Mansion, he will not pay attention to this matter at all. But as a staff member, he can't say he doesn't know.

He immediately asked people to call Hu Xing in.

Hu Xing immediately said: "There is no specific charter yet, but Lao Anren means that those who donate first, then preach, and then want to donate again, can continue to donate." All those who donated on the day can leave their names, engrave them on a stone tablet, and stand next to the Godo Pine at the back of the temple. Do you think that's going to work? ”

Originally, there were old precedents to follow for such things, although Hu Xing said that the Lao An people had not yet been completely determined, but this charter must have been approved by the Lao An people, otherwise he would have directly let Pei Yan take the idea. When he said this, he was just afraid that Pei Yan would have any opinions that would be contrary to Lao Anren, so he just said hello in advance. Of course, if Pei Yan must change it, he will definitely modify it according to Pei Yan's meaning.

It's just that the probability of this happening is very small.

Pei Yan is the suzerain of the family, he is the one who wants to take care of big things, this kind of thing of throwing incense and silver and donating some sesame oil money didn't need him to ask about it before.

Hu Xing thought that he might ask on a whim, and very confidently puffed his chest and waited for Pei Yan to praise him.

Because they continued to receive donations after the lecture, most of the donations after the lecture were the excitement of ordinary people who were emotional after listening to the lecture. But in this way, there will definitely be more donated things and silver than ordinary incense meetings, and this lecture funded by the Pei family will definitely be famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which will make the Pei family icing on the cake.

I didn't think that Pei Yan glanced at him, but said, "This matter is well arranged." However, this time, the senior monks of the South Shaolin Temple were invited to come over, mainly to let everyone listen to the teachings of the senior monks, so as not to take the lead. The donation after the lecture is still the same, and the donation before the lecture ...... "he muttered," the temple arranged for the Zhike monk to take it, and the master of the Zhike Hall sang a list of donations. It's too much, this kind of thing of showing his face at the lecture meeting, Pei Fu is better to be less involved. ”

Hu Xing and Shu Qing agreed with a trembling promise, and the other opened his eyes wide, without blinking for a long time.

Pei Yancai didn't care what these people thought in their hearts.

After arranging the matter, the string that had been crumbling in his heart finally loosened.

Everyone acted in unison, and it was changed temporarily, Miss Yu shouldn't have much chance to make trouble, right?

He wondered in his heart, wondering if he had missed any of the doubts.

Hu Xing and Shu Qing bowed strangely one by one and exited the study.

Pei Yan began to think about the matter of Tang Zhifu.

Hu Xing grabbed Shu Qing and asked him in a sincere whisper: "What does the third master mean by this?" Do you think my previous arrangement was too high-profile? He's not going to be angry, is he? ”

This new sect master, moody, really made him unable to figure out the context.

Shu Qing was thinking about Yu Tang.

This matter can't have anything to do with the young lady of the Yu family, right?

Therefore, he was a little absent-minded when he replied to Hu Xing: "Probably not!" However, it was said that Miss Gu would also come to join in the fun that day. Although she is the eldest granddaughter-in-law, the position of the sect leader has fallen to the third master. ”
