Chapter Eighty-Six: Old Madam Chen
Lian's old house.
The backyard of the old man is full of scattered wood, exuding a faint wood fragrance.
The old man slipped the bird in the morning, and when he returned to the courtyard, he wanted to carve a piece of wood to practice his hands, so he heard Pingjiang report: "Grandfather, Baitang is here." ”
Putting down the carving knife, the old man smiled and said, "Tsk, it's still here!" ”
Pingjiang was slightly surprised: Grandfather knew that Baitang would come?
"The Gao family took over the work of the Qin family's "Diamond Sutra". But the son of the Qin family let out another rumor, and the illustrations in the book should be carved in full color. The Gao family doesn't have that ability! ”
Pingjiang handed the handkerchief to his grandfather and wiped his hands, and said suspiciously: "We can't do this full-color print." ”
The old man's eyes were full of expectation: "Bai Tang is not here!" ”
This grandson has been in the limelight lately. From the red bamboo paper of Luoxia to the mooncake mold, and then to the recently sought-after silk book, every time you make a shot, you will be hit. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't have come to the door!
In the front hall, Lian Shaorong received the gift of Lanxue tea and a few silk books from Bai Tang, with a smile on his face.
"This is the silk you made?" He examined it and praised it repeatedly, "It is indeed a good cooked silk!" The cloth is finely woven and strong, and the better it is handled! "Bai Tang has a future, and Lian Shaorong is happier than anyone else! The younger brother's house can't become a big climate, and Bai Jin can keep the existing family business undefeated, and he is satisfied. In the future, they will move the capital to Beijing with His Majesty, and the only one who can support each other with the big house is Baitang!
The old man Lian walked out slowly, and said with a smile: "Come, let me see the famous literati and elegant guests, and even His Majesty praises the Songzhu Zhai silk book!" ”
Bai Tang hurriedly stepped forward to help his grandfather and smiled: "Is grandfather teasing his grandson?" ”
Lian Shixuan glanced at him: "Pretend!" I can't be so proud! ”
Bai Tang smiled brightly: "Then grandson, thank you grandfather for your compliment!" ”
"Leather Monkey!" The old man Lian put on the handkerchief and nodded frequently, "Cook it cleanly, and the ingredients on it are better matched." I heard that you specially hired a weaver girl to weave plain silk for your family? ”
"It's also a coincidence. Wan Niang's weaving skills are amazing! ”
"Serendipity? Where did you get such good luck! Old Man Lian shook his head, and there was obviously more envy on his face.
He and the old man of the Gao family wanted to use good plain silk, so they could only wait for the fabric sent by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in the palace to buy it at a high price. The silk book made is not as elegant and beautiful as Songzhu Zhai!
Baitang has a secret recipe for refining cooked silk, and met Wanniang who can weave high-quality plain silk. Only when the two phases are fulfilled can we achieve today's achievements. This is all a personal life, and it cannot be forced.
"Okay, you are here today, presumably for the Qin family's "Diamond Sutra", right?"
"Grandfather is like a god." Bai Tang hesitated, "Gongzi Qin did look for his grandson. He intended to hand over the illustrations in the book to the Lian family for printing. It's just that Sun Er thinks that if this matter is undertaken, he is afraid that he will turn against the Gao family. ”
"Hmm!" Lian Shixuan said to Shao Rong unexpectedly, "He can see this clearly, he didn't respond to this matter with all his mouth, he is a prejudice!" No wonder you can get your majesty's reward! ”
Lian Shaorong also smiled: "What my father said is true. It's just that the full-color prints that the son of the Qin family wants, we and the Gao family are not sure. ”
Old Man Lian glared at him: "You can't do it, the Gao family can't do it." It doesn't mean that Baitang can't do it! ”
Lian Shaorong was shocked: "What? Bai, Baitang, he-"
Bai Tang smiled embarrassedly: "I have a way to print a perfect full-color print." However, in this regard, it is inevitable that the gains outweigh the losses. ”
The Gao family's position in the engraving industry is unshakable for the time being. If you make a feud with his family because of this matter, it is indeed too uneconomical.
Lian Shaorong was stunned, and he was so excited that he heard his father say in his ear: "The Gao family has spent a lot of time and a lot of connections to invite a few mages, and how much money has been sprinkled to open a dojo in Qixia Temple. The old man Lian saw it thoroughly, "The people are invited by them, the scriptures are recorded by them, and the money is also spent by them. ”
Bai Tang thought so: "But such a good opportunity is let go, and my grandson really feels a pity." ”
The old man Lian grinded the silk book in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said in a long voice: "If you really want to take this job, it's not impossible." ”
Bai Tang said respectfully: "Please ask grandfather for advice." ”
"At the last tea party, didn't Gongzi Qin say that he wanted to ask the master to write a narrative for this book?" Old Man Lian looked careless, "If you can invite a character who can shock Gao Huaide to write a narrative for this book, and then take over this work, no one will have anything to say." ”
Bai Tang was stunned, but silent.
Pingjiang couldn't help frowning and said, "The Gao family has invited several of the most famous masters in Buddhism, and if you want to defeat them, there is only today's national teacher!" ”
Lian Shaorong also felt embarrassed. National teacher, can you shoot casually?
The old man Lian raised his eyebrows to peek at Bai Tang's embarrassed and contemplative expression, and said with a smile: "You think about it again!" After speaking, he held the silk book in one hand and the tea caddy in the other, and walked away happily. Lian Shaorong looked at his father's back, and was really embarrassed to say, Bai Tang prepared two gifts, why did you also leave your own one?
Bai Tang left the old house. In the carriage, his eyelids were half-drooping, and his expression was unpredictable.
National teacher, Yao Guangxiao. He would never want to deal with him if he could.
When the court confronted him, he secretly looked at the appearance of the emperor, the crown prince, and the king of Han. But only for the national teacher, I am especially in awe, I only remember that he is old, with white eyebrows and white beard. The occasional shone of a pair of old eyes in the twilight, like tiger eyes, was so cold that his heart trembled.
Bai Tang doesn't like to explore clearly dangerous characters and unfamiliar areas. What's more, for the national teacher, even if he makes his own move, he is not sure that he can take it!
Grandfather looked up to him too much.
When he was about to get home, the coachman turned to him and said, "Boss, why is our door so lively?" ”
Bai Tang lifted the curtain, and really saw many people gathered outside Songzhu Zhai, and their faces were full of words: watch the play. Watch the show! Don't look at it in vain, don't look at it!
"Don't He Miaolian come to trouble again?" Bai Tang frowned. It shouldn't be!
He had just jumped out of the car, and everyone Hula made way of the way.
"Bai Tang is back, Bai Tang is back!" Someone shouted excitedly.
Bai Tang's face is black: a group of people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!
He stepped into Songzhu Zhai and saw that the whole steward, Su Shi, and Bai Lan were all there, and his expression was embarrassed and could not hide his anger. However, Wan Niang, who rarely goes out, was held by an elegantly dressed old woman, and she was called attentive and eager.
"The owner!" The whole steward quickly rushed to his side and said softly, "That old woman of the Liu family insists on taking Wanniang away." ”
Bai Tang sighed, and immediately had a plan in his heart. Lang Sheng laughed: "Who is my Tao?" It turned out that Mrs. Chen came to the shop in person! Steward, how can you snub the old lady? Are you seated? Have you served tea? provoked Mrs. Chen's displeasure, our small family can't afford Chen Juren to ask for guilt! ”
