Chapter 11: Death
After more than ten days, Yu Bo and Yu Yuan came back from Jiangxi.
Yu Wen was painting, and was surprised when he heard the news: "Why did they come back so soon?" Aren't things going well? ”
From here to Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi, it takes more than two months.
Yu Tang was the opposite of what Yu Wen thought.
If things don't go well, it will take longer. When things go well, they will come back early.
"Uncle's house is next door," Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "Why don't I help you go over and ask?" ”
Chen accompanied Yu Tang to do needlework. She scolded her daughter with a smile: "I don't think you want to help your father ask for the letter, you want to be lazy, right?" ”
Yu Tang in his previous life, missing his relatives, how many nights cried wet pillows. Now that she can go back in time and let her accept her parents' knees, she can't wait to gild the Bodhisattva's golden body, how can she be like the ignorant self in the past, let her mother worry and make her father embarrassed?
In the past ten days, she has honestly done embroidery work at home, and also painted a few popular patterns in later generations, which made Chen feel that her daughter had received this lesson and changed her appearance, and she was very relieved.
"It's my mom who knows me best." She rubbed her shoulders on Chen's shoulders and said, "Mom, you just let me go out to breathe!" I haven't been out for days. ”
Chen felt most sorry for his daughter, and after using Yang Douxing's medicine in the past few days, he felt that his chest was much more comfortable, and his spirit was full, and he felt that even if his daughter was in trouble, he would not let Yuwen clean up the mess alone, so he smiled: "Okay!" You go to your uncle's house with your father. ”
Yu Tang cheered.
Yu Bo and Yu Yuan came over together.
Everyone saw each other, sat down under the canopy in the courtyard, and served tea with double peaches.
Yu Bo talked about this trip to Jiangxi: "Good luck! As soon as we entered Jiangxi, we met a merchant in Guangzhou, who sold lacquerware and was going to Ningbo to try his luck, I saw that he received a lot of goods, and he talked to him for a long time, and he divided half of the goods to us. It just so happens that the shopkeeper who ordered at our house does not care what kind of goods he has, as long as he can catch up with the fleet and go to sea. The business was negotiated. However, our family has always lost its trust. I promised to pay 50 taels of silver to the shopkeeper Huang......"
"It should be, it should be." Yu Wen hurriedly said: "This silver brother is in charge." ”
Yu's lacquerware shop is connected together, the business is done together, the money is also out together, and the dividends are only distributed at the end of the year.
There is no need to lose so much silver, Yu Tang's family is very happy.
Yu Wen left Yu Bo and Yu Yuan to eat.
Yu Bo refused and said, "I have to go to Pei's house in a hurry." I heard that the Pei family was going to rebuild Changxing Street, so I had to inquire. ”
Yu Wen was quite surprised and said, "Is this news reliable?" I didn't hear about it when I stayed in Lin'an City, how did my brother know when he just came back? ”
Yu Bo said with a smile: "You only read the books of sages, these business things, even if others tell you, you won't pay attention to them." How can I compare to me, I have followed my father to run our family's lacquerware shop since I was a child. ”
Yu Wendao: "Why did the Pei family suddenly think of rebuilding Changxing Street? ”
Yu Bo said: "It seems to be the meaning of the prefect." specially invited the second master of the Pei family to discuss. And so the news came out. ”
Yu Tang listened to it next to him, feeling the same as in his previous life. The Pei family agreed to rebuild Changxing Street, but also proposed that if the shops that did not belong to the Pei family could not afford the money, the Pei family could buy their foundations.
In her previous life, when she didn't know the strangeness of this, she felt that the Pei family was doing a good deed, but later she figured out that she had secretly scolded the Pei family. In this life, she knows the strangeness of this, but she has already received the great favor of the Pei family......
Yu Tang sighed in his heart.
I was out of sight and out of mind, and went back to my room to do needlework.
The Yu brothers said this in the study.
Yuwen proposed that each of the two families sell a foundation to the Pei family, and the Pei family helped them rebuild the shop. In this way, although the Yu family's assets were reduced by half, they still kept half of them.
Yu Bo was worried that the Pei family would not agree, and said: "Changxing Street is mostly the Pei family's shop, they can hang us, and we will have to sell all the foundations to their family at that time." ”
Yu Wen was eager to try: "Brother look at me!" ”
Since he knew that Lu Xin sold him a fake and he didn't see it, he was impressed by the appreciative ability of the shopkeeper Tong, and invited the shopkeeper Tong to dinner several times with wine and food, and asked for some skills in identifying antiques from time to time, and boasted that he and the shopkeeper Tong were half close friends.
Yu Wen felt that he could follow the path of the shopkeeper Tong.
Everyone in Lin'an City knows that the shopkeeper Tong has helped the Pei family to run the pawnshop for generations, and now there are seven or eight generations, and he is a decent and talkative old man in the Pei family.
Yu Bo is not as optimistic as Yu Wen.
If the shopkeeper Tong is a good talker and brings everything to the Pei family, how can he have today?
It's just that Yu Wen was full of interest, and he didn't want to pour cold water, so he simply encouraged his younger brother a few words, and then led Yu Yuan to busy with the things in the shop.
Yu Wen had lunch, changed his clothes and went out.
When he came back in the evening, he happily told his wife and daughter: "The person who is in charge of the shopkeeper Tong is really good." He agreed to help our family ask. ”
Chan rejoiced.
Yu Tang was a little stunned.
Yu Wen took out the "Hidden Picture of Fishing in Songxi" and opened it under the lamp, while watching, he sighed to Yu Tang: "Therefore, this person can't care too much about gains and losses." You see, I bought a fake, but it also made me a friend. ”
Yu Tang pouted.
If she hadn't found a way to confirm the authenticity of this painting, how could their family have dealt with Shopkeeper Tong. However, as his father said, the shopkeeper Tong is really good.
Yu Tang remembered the events of his previous life again.
According to the meaning of the shopkeeper, this painting is exactly the same as the original painting, that is to say, there is no problem with those inheritance seals. Where did the painting that fell into her hands come from? Is it true or fake?
Yu Tang wanted to find an opportunity to consult the shopkeeper Tong, but before she could find an opportunity, Yu Wen happily told Chen and Yu Tang: "Our family's shop is saved!" ”
"What's going on?" Chen put down the needle and thread in his hand and personally gave Yu Wen a cup of tea.
Yu Wen drank tea three times and twice, and said happily: "The shopkeeper Tong replied to me, saying that the head of the Pei family did not agree, and felt that the foundations of the two shops were not enough to rebuild the two shops. But the chief steward said that this precedent could not be opened. Otherwise, what should those who have burned down their shops do the same? Who knew that the two of them were talking about it, and the third master of the Pei family passed by and heard it, so he agreed to it. also released the words that all the people who burned down the shops, the Pei family can help build the shop first, and the silver spent will also be paid by the Pei family in advance, and the repayment will be paid in installments of five or ten years without interest. ”
"Ahh Yu Tang was stunned.
In this way, all the people who burned down the shop were able to survive this difficult time smoothly.
"The Pei family is really a Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering!" Chen's hands were folded and he gestured in the direction of Pei's house.
This is completely different from the previous life.
Was it because she was born again?
When the Li family came to propose, wouldn't she have to do nothing, and their family would refuse this family business?
Then won't she never have to deal with the Li family again in the future?
Their family was planning to recruit her!
Yu Tang felt happy when he thought about it.
Chen said happily: "Then our family doesn't have to sell the foundation?" ”
"I'm afraid it won't work!" Yu Wen touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Our family has already proposed to the Pei family to sell the foundation before, and the Pei family is merciful and willing to lend money to everyone, how can we break our trust with the Pei family!" ”
Chen's expression darkened, and he sighed in disappointment.
Yu Wen comforted Chen: "This is already very good." You have to think like this, if our family hadn't invited the shopkeeper Tong to talk about the item, how could this matter be known by the third master of the Pei family? The third master of the Pei family didn't speak, how could the Pei family lend money to these people who burned the shop for free, speaking of which, our family also indirectly did a good thing. ”
Chen laughed and said coquettishly: "Just your heart." ”
Yu Wen laughed.
Yu Bo, who got the news, also thought that the foundation of his shop didn't need to be sold, and when he came to discuss with Yu Wen, he knew the source of it, he couldn't cry or laugh, but he thought of it with Yu Wen, and his heart was also very big, and he said open-mindedly: "It's good that our family doesn't have this fate." ”
The two Yu brothers have made a decision, and the others are even more difficult to say.
A few days later, the Pei family negotiated with these people who burned the shop how to rebuild the shop, and the old lady of the Pei family died suddenly.
"It can't be!" Yu Wen, who got the news in the middle of the night, stood in the courtyard with his clothes on, listening to a loud insect chirping, holding Chen's hand with a shocked face, "When I went to Pei's house yesterday, I also asked about the old lady, saying that the old lady is fine, why did she leave like this?" ”
Chen was full of sadness and said, "Could it be that you have any sudden illness?" The old lady of the Pei family has also passed the year of ear shun, right? ”
"But it was too sudden." Yu Wen still didn't believe it, and instructed Ah Yuan, "You go to explore again, are you mistaken?" ”
Ah Tao wiped her tears and choked up: "I have already asked, the Pei family knocked on the cloud board and has begun to report the funeral to each family." Zhaoming Temple and Qingxuguan have both received news, and the hosts of the two families have rushed over. There will be no mistake in the message! ”
Yu Tang snuggled by the door, only feeling that the night dew was heavy, and the cold was deep in the heart and lungs.
She is already very concerned about the body of the old lady of the Pei family, everyone says that the old lady of the Pei family is fine, why does the old lady of the Pei family still die?
Yu Tang regretted it very much.
She shouldn't have listened to anyone else, she should have seen it for herself.
The Pei family helped their family so much, but she didn't take the initiative to help the Pei family.
Yu Tang walked over and grabbed his mother's arm and said, "Mom, are you going to incense the old lady of the Pei family when the time comes?" Can you take me with you? ”
