Chapter 150: Drawing
The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more it was like that.
It's a pity that Rizhao is too far away from here, even if she has any suspicions, it is difficult to verify, and counting the days, that incident has become an unjust case, and she doesn't know what else she can do.
However, eight or nine out of ten of the Li family's 50 acres of Yongye Tian were to wash away the silver they had greedy for ink when they were the prefect in Rizhao.
She couldn't sit still.
Li Yi has been the prefect of Rizhao for seven or eight years, if he is really wrong-hearted, there will definitely be more than this unjust, false and wrongful case, which shows that he is not a good thing. Now that he is a Beijing official, he has more power and more people and things he has contacted, who knows if he will do anything unconscionable.
Speaking of which, their family is also a victim!
If it weren't for Li Yi being an official outside, would the Li family dare to kill people?
Yu Tang suddenly felt the same hatred for the enemy, and felt that he didn't know, if he knew it, he was indifferent, and he didn't take advantage of it well, and pulled the Li family off the horse, how could he be worthy of Wei Xiaoshan, who died in vain?
She got up from the bed in a hurry, called Ah Tao in, and said, "You go and ask Manager Hu for me." Let's see when the third master is free, I have something I want to meet the third master. ”
Among the people Yu Tang knew, only Pei Yan had the ability to check whether Li Yi had done those things.
She needed Pei Yan's help.
Ah Tao left in response, and came back half an hour later and told her: "The Pei family has ripe oranges in the Zhuangzi in Ji'an, and the third master went to Ji'an to sell oranges." Come back tomorrow night and ask you if you're in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, please write a letter to the third master, if you are not in a hurry, wait for the third master to come back and then set a time. ”
Urgent, but not in a hurry for half a day on this day.
However, Pei Yan sells oranges...... What's going on?
Are oranges on the market at this time?
Compared with Li Yi's matter, Yu Tang was more curious about Pei Yan's sale of oranges.
She said: "Then you can go back to Manager Hu, and wait for the third master to come back and then set a time." ”
Ah Tao ran away again.
Ma Xiuniang asked the magpie to bring a letter to see her, and asked her to go to the house for lunch.
Yu Tang said to Chen, brought two silk flowers made by himself, accompanied by Shuangtao, and went to Zhang's house.
Ma Xiuniang was instructing the mother-in-law in the stove room to burn the pig's head, and when she saw her arrive, she patted her apron and walked out of the kitchen.
Yu Tang smelled a smell of marinade when he entered the second gate, and immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "What delicious did you make?" And call me from home. What about Qing'er? Why can't you see her? Is brother-in-law at home? I'm just here, won't it be too bothersome? ”
"Why do you talk so much!" Ma Xiuniang saw her smiling, her little face was as bright as a summer flower, so beautiful that it was dazzling, she couldn't help pinching her little face, and then said, "Since I called you here, there must be nothing inappropriate." Your brother-in-law went to the restaurant and didn't come back for dinner at noon. Qing'er's little girl knows how to sleep all day long, like a little pig, you don't have to worry about her. ”
The two talked and went into the house hand in hand.
The magpie came in with refreshments.
The two sat down separately and exchanged a few words, and Ma Xiuniang talked about the reason for inviting her over this time: "I was supposed to go to see you, but Qing'er was too young, she hasn't left me since she was born, and I didn't feel at ease when I left her alone at home, so I called you over." I just want to ask you, the last time you said that you asked your brother-in-law to help your shop draw patterns, do you still need someone to help? At that, her face turned red.
Yu Tang was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes." It's a bad pattern. It would be great if my brother-in-law could help. It depends on whether my sister wants to sell one piece and knot one piece for money? Or do you sell it all at once? ”
Ma Xiuniang didn't know the difference very well, and she didn't know much about it.
In his previous life, because of Yu Yuan, Yu Tang paid more attention to his family's business, and also dealt with those shopkeepers, and knew that only by knowing the truth of business can he do business in the long run. Ma Xiuniang didn't ask, she took the lead: "The money for selling a piece of lacquerware is how much everyone talks about selling a piece of lacquerware." For example, if this pattern is used on a mirror, and the mirror is sold for one or two pieces of silver, then for each piece sold, you will be given ten cents; Sell it all to our family at one time, that is, how much a painting is, let our family use it. Now our family asks the master outside to paint a picture, which is about one tael of silver a piece. But my brother-in-law is different, my brother-in-law's painting is good, if he is willing to sell it to our family, our family will definitely pay double the silver. Sister, it depends on how convenient your family is. It's all right in our house. ”
If Ma Xiuniang hadn't waited for the silver to be used, she wouldn't have instigated Zhang Hui to draw a pattern for the Yu family, and Zhang Hui only promised Ma Xiuniang to draw twenty pictures and would not paint anymore, not to mention that I don't know if Zhang Hui's drawing can make the Yu family make money?
She blushed even more, and said in a low voice, "You also know about my family......"
When Yu Tang heard this, he immediately said, "That's okay." Just sell it all to our family. I say this, it's because some painters like to sell a knot, and my sister has never touched these, so don't I want to make it clear to you? You can let your brother-in-law draw with peace of mind, and I will do the rest! ”
As soon as she said this, Ma Xiuniang was even more embarrassed, and said, "Your brother-in-law, I am only going to paint twenty paintings." ”
Yu Tang also thought that Zhang Xiucai would not always do this, and he was not disappointed, but was happy to get Zhang Hui's painting. She said: "Twenty is twenty, which is better than what our family can't ask for." Sister, when do you think I'm going to pick up the paintings? ”
Ma Xiuniang smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law was just moved by me, how can it be so fast." However, you have to tell me what you want in your family, and I can urge your brother-in-law to finish the painting as soon as possible. ”
Yu Tang said: "Just those elegant things in the study." ”
Their family does not lack any patterns such as Magu worshipping Shou and Peng Zu's ascension, but what they lack is elegant pieces that can be liked by literati.
Ma Xiuniang smiled: "Okay! I know. You can go back and wait for news. ”
Yu Tang thanked him repeatedly.
Ma Xiuniang took Yu Tang's hand and said with emotion: "I should thank you." ”
It was obviously a mutually beneficial thing, but Yu Tang did it as if the Yu family had asked for many benefits for their family.
Ma Xiuniang was suddenly very glad to have made Yu Tang a friend, but she didn't know that Yu Tang was also very glad that she had not missed it in her life and became friends with Ma Xiuniang.
Coming out of Zhang's house, Yu Tang went directly to the Yu family's shop on Changxing Street.
From a distance, she saw Xia Pinggui and Xiang's wedding maid Xia Lian standing at the door of the shop talking, and Xia Lian was still carrying a food box in her hand.
She guessed that Xia Lian had been ordered by her sister-in-law to bring lunch to her cousin.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
The shop is an apprentice cooking, of course, it is not as good as at home, and the sister-in-law is distressed that the lobby brother is not good to eat.
When she got closer, she found that Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian's smiles were too bright.
A trace of doubt flashed in Yu Tang's heart.
Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian, who saw her, jumped to the side like cats with their tails stepped on, and Xia Pinggui greeted her with a hundred times more enthusiasm than usual: "Little, Miss, you are here." Are you here to find the owner or the young owner? The owner went to find Master Xiang and hasn't come back yet, and the young owner is guarding in the shop? I'll take you inside! As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and rushed in like a headless fly.
Xia Lian said in a panic, "Miss, I'll go back first, I'm here to deliver food to the young owner's family, and our young grandmother is still waiting for me to reply", and ran away.
Is she so scary?
Yu Tang muttered in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration.
Xia Pinggui shouldn't be to Xia Lian......
She didn't show it on her face, but the villain in her heart smiled hehehehe.
In her previous life, something like this happened when she was in the Li family.
There are maids and maids around her who have taken a fancy to them. However, the Lin family did not allow such a thing to happen at home, so they sold the maid and the little maid, saying that this kind of thing could not set a precedent, otherwise it would be easy to collude inside and outside and steal from the guards.
However, Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian are quite suitable. When the time comes, she has to remind her sister-in-law that if the two of them really have this meaning, it is better to fulfill them as soon as possible, so as not to make an accident and everyone's face will not look good.
Yu Tang quietly went to the tent where Yu Yuan was resting, and told Yu Yuan about Zhang Hui.
Yu Yuan was overjoyed and said, "Do you know what Daddy is going to do with Master Xiang?" A few days ago, Daddy took over a job, someone wanted to order fifty cages, but people wanted a pattern like Four Seasons Ruyi, Daddy went to Master Xiang to draw a pattern. You also know Master Xiang's, a pattern costs at least five taels of silver. ”
Yu Tang became anxious when he heard this: "Then you hurry up and find someone to inform the eldest uncle, if the eldest uncle talks to Master Xiang, it will be difficult to change his ways." Also, Master Xiang, I know, is the most famous painting master in Lin'an City. If Master Xiang is five taels of silver, then Zhang Gongzi will have at least four taels of silver, right? ”
The master she knew before only charged one tael of silver for a painting, who knew that Master Xiang would be so high.
Yu Yuan hurriedly ordered Xia Pinggui, only saying that there was an important guest at home, and asked Yu Bo to come back quickly. When Xia Pinggui left, he continued to talk to Yu Tang about it: "We told Daddy before that the pattern at home is a bit old, and Daddy also knows it, but he feels more sorry for the silver, and he always thinks that he will be able to do it in a few days." If it weren't for someone else's famous pattern like Four Seasons Ruyi this time, the business would not have been able to be done. Daddy calculated, the money earned from this business was just enough to pay Master Xiang's painting money, so he gritted his teeth and found it. Otherwise, why drag it out until now! ”
Yu Tang smiled helplessly.
The brother and sister drank tea for a long time, and Yu Bo rushed back panting.
"I heard you've found a better pattern master?" He asked as soon as he entered, but he didn't even have time to take a sip of tea.
"Not a pattern master." Yu Tang told Yu Bo about Zhang Hui.
Yu Bo really hesitated a little and said: "Zhang Gongzi's paintings must be good, but it's hard to say whether they can sell well." ”
The price of four taels of silver is even worse.
Yu Tang said with a smile: "Since this business can pay Master Xiang's painting sample money, and everyone in our shop always says that there is nothing new, I think it is better to let Zhang Gongzi draw a few paintings according to the merchant's intentions, and if the guest is satisfied, then ask Zhang Gongzi to paint." You can even earn a few taels of silver! ”
Yu Bo thought that he would not suffer a loss, so he agreed.
