Chapter 200: Contempt
Everyone does have two faces, but how many people dare to show two faces in front of Lao Anren?
Pei Man kept spitting in his heart, and he didn't show half a point on his face, and continued to respectfully respond "yes" and sent someone to investigate.
Wang Niangzi was wronged, fortunately, Pei Man still knew her temperament better, and knew that she had always been very nervous about the Pei family's business, even if she met the Pei family's sweeping maids, she would be polite, and when she was handy, she would even send two red ropes to tie the hair of those little maids, and after checking it, it would pass.
Pei Yan was still not at ease, so he invited Yu Tang over and asked her what she was looking for a tailor to do.
Yu Tang was embarrassed.
She didn't expect that this little thing, Pei Man would also ask Pei Yan to show it.
"Isn't the lacquerware business at home not very good?" She told Pei Yan about the back and forth between herself and Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan was very contemptuous, and said, "Your family just let your little girl's family mess around like this?" ”
Yu Tang didn't like to hear this. She said, "What is the little girl's house?" I'm not messing around either. Our lacquerware shop was handed down from my grandfather, and although my father and my uncle each had a separate shop, the shop was never separated, and it was always together under the management of my eldest uncle. My father and my uncle wanted me and my brother to be in charge of the shop together. ”
Pei Yan has always reacted quickly to people and things. Hearing this, he immediately realized that the Yu family was preparing to let Miss Yu recruit a son-in-law to the door. But he was inexplicably a little worried in his heart, and couldn't help but say, "Then you also agree with the family's arrangement?" ”
Men are ashamed of being rich and willing to be sons-in-law, but they usually have this and that shortcoming.
Pei Yan frowned slightly.
Yu Tang didn't react for a while, and said, "What arrangement?" ”
Pei Yan was a little irritable in his heart.
This little girl, how stupid!
I'm usually quite alert, but when it comes to a critical moment, I don't know what to say.
He said angrily: "You agree with your family to give you money?" Don't you still have a cousin? He can pick two ends on one shoulder! ”
This is the choice of many families.
There is no need to change the surname, nor do you have to separate from your own flesh and blood, but you just support an extra uncle. But the uncle's estate should also be owned by the nephew, and it is still cost-effective to calculate.
Only then did Yu Tang understand that he was talking about this.
No matter how arrogant she is, it's not good for her to discuss these things with Pei Yan.
Yu Tang's face turned red, and he replied with a very safe sentence: "The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Naturally, I obeyed my parents. ”
Then you dare to come to me and make a big fuss!
These words came to Pei Yan's mouth, and he suddenly felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to say such things at this time...... Although he didn't know why he felt out of place, and he didn't know why he had to swallow this sentence with his freewheeling temperament, he still endured it again and again, and bluntly turned the topic to the Yu family's lacquerware shop: "Why do you look down on the pattern of the tailor's shop?" I look very average. ”
As soon as his words came out, Yu Tang breathed a long sigh of relief, and she realized that her heartstrings had been tense when she answered Pei Yan's question. As for why, she looked at Pei Yan's burning eyes, and she didn't have time to think about it for a while, and her intuition seemed to have escaped from the edge of the cliff safe and sound, which made her instinctively want to get over this section quickly. She said a little impatiently, "That's because you didn't notice their embroiderers." Their embroidery is good. As she spoke, she gave the example of Miss Five's embroidered shoes.
Pei Yan was still full of contempt, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, your shop is made of red paint, right?" ”
Yu Tang nodded again and again: "You are not mistaken. ”
"Isn't red paint known for its gorgeous and low-key appearance?" Pei Yan said disappreciatively, "Like the pattern you said, a few scattered flowers, what utensils are you going to use it on?" I don't need to look at this kind of pattern to know that it looks good when it is made. The pattern of red paint can neither reflect the complicated process of red paint, nor can it reflect the characteristics of red paint. ”
It was as if his family had an ancestral lacquerware shop.
Yu Tang was angry and a little unconvinced.
She knew that Pei Yan knew a lot, but not even lacquerware, right?
Yu Tang said a little unconvinced: "What are the characteristics of red paint?" Why can't it be left blank like a picture? I asked someone for a few drawings to make a pattern, and they sold very well. ”
Pei Yan pursed his lips and said, "That's because those people haven't seen a better-looking red lacquer object." Besides, isn't the characteristic of red lacquer different from other lacquer crafts? Although I am a layman, I also know that the difference between red lacquer and other lacquerware is that it involves repeatedly applying dozens of layers of red lacquer to the object, and then carving out the relief pattern after drying. It should be clear and delicate. With a lot of blank space, you have to highlight the content of the pattern, and it is naturally good to be a character. If it's a pattern or pattern, I'm afraid you need to carefully consider the color of the white space. Are you going to make your lacquerware black or some other color? ”
"Of course not!" Yu Tang blurted out, and then didn't know what to say.
The point of removing red paint is "red", if the background color becomes another color, then it is not called red paint.
Thinking of this, her heart moved, and she said, "Can you use other colors as the background color?" ”
Pei Yan was tired, and he didn't want to talk to her, so he said lazily: "Then you can try, maybe you can also innovate and create a new lacquerware process." ”
Yu Tang really had such a thought.
Her heart flew in an instant, and she couldn't wait to return to her shop in the blink of an eye and discuss this matter with Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan didn't want to pay attention to her careful thoughts, and continued: "The process of removing red paint lies in the word 'tick', so you should work this." Instead of asking for patterns from those tailor shops, it is better to ask someone to redraw patterns, figures and other patterns, the requirements for carvers are very high, and the facial features must be lifelike. ”
No!
Yu Tang didn't say anything.
Pei Yan didn't need her to say anything, he knew it at a glance. He simply said, "You go and bring those patterns of your house to me to see." ”
Yu Tang looked at him with round eyes, full of surprise.
Pei Yan suddenly felt that her eyes were too bright to look at him, which made him feel a little dazzling, and even felt slightly uncomfortable. He couldn't help coughing lightly twice, and said, "Why don't you let someone bring those patterns over!" ”
Yu Tang jumped up, and the little man in his heart danced happily like a bird.
"Okay, okay." She was afraid that he would regret it, and she didn't care about being rude or not, so she rushed to the door and called Shuangtao over, and advised, "You go to the shop and tell the young owner that the third master is willing to help our family see the pattern of lacquerware, and let him quickly take the pattern into the house." ”
Double Peach was overjoyed.
If the Pei family is willing to help, the Yu family's lacquerware shop will definitely make a fortune.
The Yu family is good, they can hold their heads high when they go out, and they have more face.
"I'll go, I'll go." She didn't care about etiquette either, and ran away.
Yu Tang was afraid that Pei Yan would be hot for three minutes, so she secretly prayed in her heart that her brother would not stay for a moment if he got the letter, and hurried over; On the one hand, he felt that he had to stabilize Pei Yan, and he couldn't let his enthusiasm be dispersed. She didn't think much about it, turned around and went back to the study, and immediately talked to Pei Yan diligently.
It's just that she and Pei Yan have nothing in common in terms of knowledge or vision, and Pei Yan is short-talked, so she doesn't know what to say after greeting whether she has eaten or drunk.
Yu Tang slandered in his heart.
Isn't it worth saying that the contents of the Four Books and the Five Classics are worth saying?
She was depressed, but she could only continue to find a topic and talk about the craftsmanship of lacquerware.
Pei Yan looked coldly at Yu Tang chattering there. He should be impatient, he should be disgusted. But looking at her sparkling eyes, the embarrassment when she couldn't find a topic, and the joy when she found a topic, he felt as if he was watching a burlesque, no, it was more interesting for him than watching a burlesque.
He actually listened to her babble like this for most of the hour, until she said: "What do you think of our family hiring another skilled carver", he couldn't hold back again, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Your family has been running a lacquerware shop for generations, right?" There are so many disciples in the family, and you still have to invite a skilled carver master to come back, are you slapping the Yu family in the face? Or hit your great uncle in the face? Even if your uncle agrees, your father probably won't agree, right? ”
Yu Tang suddenly lost his voice.
Indeed, if she did bring back a master carver, her uncle might think that she was accusing him of not running the shop well.
So what to do?
Do you want to give up sculpting figures?
How can that work?
Yu Tang shook his head.
Their lacquerware shop had a bad business before, that is, the goods were single, if there were no more character pictures, there were fewer choices, and the business would probably be worse, right?
There she pondered.
Pei Yan looked at her with interest.
Shaking his head for a while, laughing for a while, frowning for a while, hanging his head for a while, I don't know how rich his expressions and movements are, even the three-year-old child of the Pei family is not as active as her.
He couldn't help but sigh that Miss Yu's appearance was outstanding, no matter how she looked at it, it was pleasing to the eye, if someone else made such a move, I was afraid that he would have been regarded as crazy by him.
It's also good luck for her, he is hiding from Shen Shanyan, so let's spend some time with her here.
Pei Yan thought about it and said, "There are only two kinds of business now. One is to do everything, and everyone will not go empty-handed. Another way is to make the business top-notch, as long as you think of this object, the first thing is to go to their house to see, their home is gone, and then you will consider other people's homes. Your lacquerware shop is famous for making red lacquerware, and I don't think it's necessary to ask for a large number of items. ”
Is that really the case?
Yu Tang was a little apprehensive and said, "But if you are at the top, it should be difficult, right?" ”
Their family simply has no confidence that they can do this.
Pei Yan sneered and said, "With the same effort, the same time, and the same energy, everything is under the people, and your family is good enough." ”
