Painting lacquerware patterns for the Yu family was Pei Yan's temporary idea, Yu Tang didn't believe that Pei Yan understood lacquerware at all, but Pei Yan's serious appearance made her suspicious.

Maybe people are really all in one place!

Before keeping filial piety, didn't Pei Yan also farm land? But now, even she has heard that the peaches, plums and pears from Pei's Zhuangzi are all exported to Jiangnan and Lianghu. There are also rumors that the peaches from their family are going to be tributed.

Yu Tang had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart and sit quietly next to him to listen to Pei Yan.

I heard him ask her cousin, "What do you want your shop to look like?" ”

Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said cautiously: "I want to be able to make money every year, so that the elders in the family don't have to worry about the business in the shop." ”

Pei Yan pursed his lips when he heard this, and said, "Your ambition is too big." ”

Yu Tang knew that he was talking back, and wondered if he should say a few words to the lobby brother, Yu Yuan smiled and said: "We are small families, don't we only have this ambition. If you want to make your business bigger, you need someone in the officialdom. Our family is thin, and my second uncle is the one who reads best, so we don't sit on this mountain and look at that mountain. ”

She thought that the lobby brother said such a thing Pei Yan would definitely be even more disdainful when he heard it, but who knew that Pei Yan's expression was slightly sluggish, as if he remembered something, he was stunned for a long time, and then said softly: "Be content and happy!" Sometimes that's a blessing. ”

There was a slight resentment in his voice, and Yu Tang was terrified to hear it.

How could Pei Yan speak in such a tone and say such a thing.

She couldn't help but turn her head sideways to look at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan happened to turn around and met her gaze.

Yu Tang hurriedly smiled at him.

He was stunned again, and then bent the corners of his mouth like self-deprecation, swept away the depression and frustration just now, and became domineering again, saying: "If you want to make money, you have to be able to make money!" If you only aim to make money, then you will definitely not make a lot of money. If you want me to say, you have to be a little bolder, how can you be the first in Lin'an and the top three in Zhejiang, right? No, even if you do the first in Lin'an and the top three in Zhejiang, it is estimated that there is no way to make Suzhou or Guangdong famous, according to my opinion, you have to find a way to make the shop the first in Zhejiang. In this way, your shop will not have to worry about making money. Think about it, does what I say make sense? ”

Reasonable.

Don't say it's Yu Yuan, even Yu Tang thinks what he said makes sense.

But if you want to be the first in Zhejiang, you must have money to invest, and second, you must have someone to shelter.

Pei Yan really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks!

But Yu Yuan and Yu Tang are both smart people, Pei Yan knows what the situation in their family is, and he dares to say so, most likely because he already has some ideas. Yu Yuan also saw that the third master of the Pei family is different from the old lady, the old lady is like the warm sun in winter, if there is anything difficult to ask for the door, as long as the old man knows, he will do it for you. This third old man especially likes others to pat himself on the back, even if he has a way, he has to be held by someone before he can tell you.

He was not afraid of losing face, and said directly: "I've always been stupid, I can't think of any way?" You are the third master of Pei's Mansion, there must be a way. Otherwise, you can just tell me. ”

Pei Yan didn't know how many good things he listened to every day, where would he care about what Yu Yuan said.

He looked at Yu Tang and didn't speak.

Yu Tang was so angry.

Could it be that her brother in their family can't say good things, and she has to say a few good words?

Yu Tang ignored him and looked straight at him.

The two looked at each other for a while, and in the end, Pei Yan was defeated.

He touched his nose and felt that Miss Yu's cat's paws were exposed again, and he better not cause that trouble.

Of course, he was not afraid of this trouble, but he felt that his time was precious, and he couldn't waste it for a trivial matter, not to mention that Shen Shanyan was chasing after him, making him unguarded. It would be better for him to settle the matter of the Yu family as soon as possible.

Pei Yan simply said bluntly: "I thought of it when I saw your lacquerware. In a few days, there will be a royal historian who will come here to review a few cases, and I will get the letter, and the celebrant may also follow, so you will follow what I said, and find a way to make a few beautiful red lacquer boxes as soon as possible, and I will use them as gifts. When the time comes, the reputation of your family's box will be gone. ”

Speaking of which, we still have to go this way.

Yu Yuan was overjoyed, and even said "yes".

Pei Yan saw that there was no joy on Yu Tang's face, and he was suddenly unhappy in his heart, and asked Yu Tang: "Do you think this is not good?" ”

"It's not." Of course, Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan was helping their family. But since she decided to run out of the Li family, she knows that everything is better than asking for others rather than herself, and others can help you for a while, but not for a lifetime. After receiving the favor of others, she remembered it in her heart, and while repaying others, she also took this opportunity to stand up on her own, so as not to disappoint those who helped her.

She said, "I'm wondering what kind of box to make!" ”

Pei Yan looked stunned and said, "It's too late today, it's a little too late." I'll draw a few more patterns for you when I have time in the next few days, and I'll make up eight or eleven of them. As for your family, you have to make the box as soon as possible. ”

The red lacquered box has to be applied back and forth to the box with dozens of layers of lacquer.

Yu Yuan said: "Don't worry. This will definitely be done. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Miki gasped and ran in with two boxes in his arms.

Yu Tang took the box and handed it to Pei Yan with his own hands.

Pei Yan looked carefully at their box and said, "This carving is really ordinary. You see, here, here, and here, the lines are not handled very clearly. You'll have to pay attention to the box I want. Also, the paint is not bright enough. Is it because the paint is not good? Or can't you get a brighter paint in your house? The red-lacquered box I saw in the palace was like a mirror, and you had to find a way to achieve it. ”

Regarding the craftsmanship of removing red paint, Yu Tang does not understand it very well.

She and Pei Yan looked at Yu Yuan together.

Yu Yuan was so nervous that his vest was sweating, and said, "It's not good paint." Once upon a time, when my grandfather was around, he used to make boxes that were as bright as mirrors, but it took a lot of work. ”

In other words, the technical aspect can still be solved.

Pei Yan immediately said, "That's good." You first go and get some good paint, and then discuss with the master at home how to make a box as bright as a mirror, and how to improve your carving workmanship. After speaking, he also called Ah Ming in a loud voice, "You go to the tent and pay two thousand taels of silver to the little proprietor." ”

The Yu brothers and sisters were stunned by this change, and said in unison: "No, no." We still have this silver in our family. You did our family so much help last time, and you still have money in the silver building! ”

Pei Yan did not change his original intention, and said: "Since it is my idea, I am responsible for the success or failure of this matter." The money is not for you, but for you for a while. When you make money, you have to pay it back to me. After speaking, he looked like he was afraid that they would not accept it, paused, and continued, "It's good for you to count three points." ”

At this time, Yu Tang and Yu Yuan had nothing to say.

Pei Yan said a few more deficiencies in their boxes, and Ah Ming came to say that Mr. Shen was here.

Pei Yan's brows were furrowed so much that he could catch the mosquitoes, and said, "Please Mr. Shen go and sit in the flower hall for a while, and I'll come." ”

Yu Yuan looked at it and got up to say goodbye.

Yu Tang didn't want to stay long, but before she went out, she couldn't help but whisper to Pei Yan: "What is Mr. Shen looking for you?" I've heard he always comes to you these days! ”

Pei Yan wanted to speak and stopped.

Yu Tang was very surprised.

What is it? would actually make Pei Yan, who was straight up, not know what to say......

But she is not the person who is difficult for the strong, as if she hadn't asked this, and said with a smile: "Then I'll go and send my brother first." ”

Pei Yan bowed.

The Yu brothers and sisters went out of the garden.

Yu Yuan said: "How many days do you want to stay here?" I'll pick you up then, right? ”

Yu Tang shook his head and said, "Isn't my sister-in-law going to give birth in a few days?" You'd better leave me alone. I still have to live in Pei's house for two or three days, and then the Pei family's sedan chair will send me back, you don't have to worry, just do what the third master has to do. ”

"That's for sure." Yu Yuan sighed with emotion, "The third master has a great kindness to us, and we can't pump his plank." In any case, I will also make the box that the third master wants this time. ”

Yu Tang encouraged the lobby brother a few words, and watched the lobby brother leave the Pei family, and then she walked slowly to the guest room where she lived.

In her previous life, where she couldn't see, Pei Yan seemed to have helped her a lot. In this life, she hopes to have a chance to repay Pei Yan.

Moreover, Pei Yan did not deliberately hide the matter of Pei Yan helping the Yu family's lacquerware shop, and I believe that people up and down the Pei family will soon know. Do you want to talk to Pei Lao'an? After all, it was their Yu family who received the favor, and she should go to thank her for her feelings.

Yu Tang made up his mind and went to Pei Laoanren.

Lao Anren was leaning on the chaise longue and listening to the pearl read the Buddhist scriptures to her. When he saw her come in, he smiled and asked Pearl to move the embroidery pier over.

Yu Tang was polite, sat down, exchanged a few words with Lao Anren, and slowly led the topic to the matter just now: "...... I sent my brother away, thinking that he would go back to make a box, so I wanted to ask you if you had any favorite patterns, and I asked my brother to make a few for you to load things. ”

Pei Laoanren's eyes rolled.

Little girl, do you want to tell her that the Yu family has received the favor of Pei Yan?

Pei Laoan smiled: "You said that Yaoguang helped your family draw two patterns?" I don't want anything else, so you can give me two boxes with the patterns he drawn. ”

It's easy.

Yu Tang was most afraid that Pei Lao'an would think that she had ulterior motives and came to rub Pei Yan's light.

"Okay." She hurriedly replied, "I'll ask my brother to choose the two best carvings for you." ”

Pei Lao'an thought for a while and said, "Then just make me a few more, Bathing Buddha Festival, I want to send Buddhist scriptures to Zhaoming Temple." You make two more boxes that can hold the sutras. ”

Yu Tang responded repeatedly, and when the fifth lady got out of school, the two accompanied Pei Lao'an to dinner, and talked about Buddha incense, and then they went back to the house.

Aunt Chen asked Pei Lao'an: "Do you want to talk to the third master." ”

Suddenly taking care of the Yu family's business for no reason, who knows will think about it for a while.
