After breakfast the next morning, Shen Luzhu handed over his fat son to Chu Yi, and he hid in the house to draw sketches.

In the middle of the morning, she painted and betrayed the six stories she had selected with Chu Yi last night, and after showing them to everyone in the Chu family, Shen Luzhu made some slight modifications.

After that, all these paintings were transcribed on the coffin, and it took a full five days, and the customized green sandalwood four-corner drawing Shouguan was finally completed.

The whole is made of four thick sandalwood, the coffin retains the blue-yellow-brown color of the sandalwood itself, the coffin lid is full of a huge crane auspicious cloud map, in the middle is a hot gold laying word, the black and white crane flies around it, and there are some blue-white auspicious clouds around it.

Two on each side of the coffin, one at the front and one at the front and one at each end, a total of six pictures based on the well-known stories of the six filial sons of the Great Qian, or black and white or color lines, stretched and spread on the yellow-brown plate, as if opening a picture album that has gone through many years of vicissitudes but is still well preserved.

After the coffin was done, the little couple liked it, so they discussed it and put the coffin in their own shop.

Three days later, Sun Zhang sent someone to take away the coffin, led by a master of the Sun family's coffin workshop, I don't know how many exquisite coffins I have seen in the Sun family over the years, but at first glance when I saw this green sandalwood four-corner drawing longevity hall, I was still amazed by the ideas and craftsmanship of Chu Yixiao.

Before this master went out, Sun Zhang explained: "If you think you are doing a good job, give more money, make a good fate, and then quietly move to another courtyard, and when I have time, I will also take a look.

So in the face of Chu Yi's statement that the price was twenty taels, the old master directly handed over fifty taels, and in the face of Chu Yi's stunned expression, he only said: "My master is very satisfied with this coffin, and the excess ones are for the boss to give you your hard-earned money, please don't dislike it."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was sincere, not fake flattery, and no contempt, I thought that I was really satisfied with this coffin, Chu Yi didn't make much excuses, and after thanking the other party, he put away the silver ticket with a denomination of fifty taels.

Sun Zhang deliberately sent this master, who doesn't show up in front of people on weekdays, and chose to pick it up when the shop was about to close in the evening, just because he didn't want people to know that he had bought a coffin in Chu Ji.

But after thousands of calculations, he still lost to the will of heaven, and the old master and his party just carried the coffin and walked down the steps in front of the Chu family's shop, and met Ding An, who came to the door with the maid after the next duty.

With such kung fu of recognizing people and recognizing people, Ding An, as the head of the county government, has naturally practiced it perfectly, although the master failed to recognize Ding An, but Ding An recognized the other party at a glance.

Ding An walked into the shop suspiciously, and while helping Chu Yi close the shop, he asked, "Why did the Sun family come here to buy a coffin?"

"Sun's?"

Chu Yi was a little confused by Ding An's question: "Brother Ding said that the old man who just went out?"

"Yes, it's him, isn't the coffin they moved the same one in the shop a few days ago? That person is the master of the Sun family who makes coffins, how could he come here to buy a coffin, it stands to reason that even if he needs it, the Sun family will provide it."

Only then did Chu Yi react, which Sun family Ding An was talking about.

"It wasn't bought by the old master, Master Gao said that it was made by a young man about twenty years old, and these people just came to pay for it and move the coffin. Brother Ding, do you know what young juniors that Sun Ji has in this county?"

Ding An shook his head and said, "Most of the Sun family's industries have already moved to Fucheng, and the younger generations of the family naturally followed them to Fucheng to enjoy the blessings, I haven't heard of any young juniors in their twenties staying here."

"That's weird."

"That's right!"

Ding An suddenly remembered something, slapped his chin and said, "President Sun's nephew, now staying here to guard the ancestral industry, that person is sixty years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, but he looks very young, maybe Master Gao mistook him for about twenty."

Young man, but what is the purpose of his actions?"

Chu Yi is also very puzzled by this, it seems that it has only been a long time since the third child of the Yang family, why did there be another Sun family, he just wants to do a business quietly, why is it so difficult.

After dinner, the little couple went back to their house, and before it was time to sleep, Shen Luzhu let him play with the raccoon flowers on the side.

Chu Yi told his wife in detail about the evening, and took out the fifty taels of silver tickets.

"I don't know what the purpose of this Sun Ji is, and I came here to customize the coffin."

Shen Luzhu is very optimistic about this: "Didn't Brother Ding and Brother Lin both say that this Sun family is still good, and I haven't heard of any indiscriminate means used against their peers, so I don't think it will take a lot of trouble, just to target a small shop like us."

Chu Yi, you don't have to worry too much, it must be the matter of the Yang family before, which makes you too worried.

Besides, just look at the current situation, we sold the coffin, and earned an extra thirty taels of silver, we should be happy, if outsiders know that even the Sun family came to us to buy the coffin, then wouldn't our shop be completely popular, otherwise I will go out to publicize it tomorrow?"

Chu Yi knew that Shen Luzhu's words behind him were teasing himself, but he was indeed relieved by his wife, and his previous worries seemed to have really eased a lot.

In the next few days, as Shen Luzhuruo said, nothing bad happened, and Shen Luzhu also took advantage of the idle days before the month of Layue to draw a sketch of the twenty-four filial piety and twenty-four stories, and planned to use them on his own coffin in the future.

In mid-November, just as the Chu family was preparing for the last wave of the lunar month, the peak season of paper money trading, the Yang family, who had been silent for a long time, reappeared in the funeral shop of Chu Ji.

Yang Fangsheng learned to be smart this time, he knew that he was not the opponent of the Chu family, after escaping from this desert last time, he kept quiet, and secretly observed for a long time without any action, but kept asking people to ask around about the affairs of the Chu family, whether it was related to the trading of paper money, everything had to be inquired about.

It turned out that this way was right, Yang Fangsheng's subordinates, when they were inquiring about the news in the neighborhood near Changqing Street, they found the Yu family, who seemed to have some problems with the Chu family.

After Yang Fangsheng heard the report of his subordinates, he asked someone to ask the Yu family out of the shop, and threw a bulging purse over, and the Yu family said all the real and false, what should be said and what should not be said.

"Oh, big boss, you don't know, there's no good thing in the Chu family! If they hadn't helped the Nalu family, we would have lost our shop for no reason and been kicked out."

After listening to his mother-in-law's words, Yu Fugui also hurriedly helped: "No, as a result, you see what benefits the Nalu family has gained, it has not been kicked out, and now the two mansions are returned to the Chu family."

When the Yu family occupied the Lu family's shop, who didn't know about the people in this county, when Yang Fangsheng heard what they said, he suddenly felt that he had been fooled, and said angrily: "Fart, can't you be stupid when Lao Tzu? That house originally belonged to the Lu family, do you fucking know about the Chu family, dare to deceive Lao Tzu, beware of walking around if you can't eat!"

Liu Shi was suddenly taken aback, and said tremblingly: "The big boss is wronged, I, we ...... That shop is indeed the Lu family, yes, but we signed the lease deed."

Seeing that the Liu family was still going to talk about their family's, and couldn't get to the point, Yang Fangsheng stepped forward and was about to pull the purse in the middle of the table, and was pressed down by Yu Fugui and Liu.

Liu was afraid that Yang Fangsheng would take back the silver, so he said honestly: "I don't talk about the house, boss, don't be angry, talk about the Chu family, talk about the Chu family."

Yu Fugui also said: "Yes, speaking of the Chu family, the Chu family occupied the two mansions of the Lu family, and the Lu family didn't even dare to squeak, not because their family found a big backer in the yamen."

"That's right, that's right, it's the head catcher Ding An, who ran to the Chu family after three days and two heads without incident, and I have also seen him and a little lady of the Chu family go out shopping with a smile, it must not be a legitimate relationship!"

Yang Fangsheng was stunned, this statement was the same as what the old man of the Yang family had said before

Some of the words seem to correspond: "Really?"

Liu nodded again and again, "Seriously, seriously!"

The Yu family and Yang Fangsheng talked a lot about it that day, but it can be summed up as nothing more than two things, one is that the Chu family occupies the Lu family's house, and the other is that Ding An is the backer of the Chu family.

Later, Yang Fangsheng sent someone to find the original head of the East and West Courtyards, the old couple of the Lu family.

I also learned the whole process of buying and selling the house from the mouths of the old couple of the Lu family, and also knew that the Chu family was from the backing village below Changshui Town.

The Chu family had opened a shop in the village, and Yang Fangsheng thought that it would be easy to find out some news about them, but he didn't expect that as soon as his subordinates entered the village, they met the fat aunt.

With the relationship between the fat aunt and the Chu family, when she heard someone inquiring, she would naturally pay special attention, and as soon as she realized that the purpose of the person who came was not pure, she stopped the villagers who wanted to talk to her in a few words, and drove the person out of the village.

After Chu Ping and Zhao Cheng found out, they also felt that this was wrong, and while sending Jiang Quan to the county seat to explain the situation, they also thought of an idea, so that those people could not ask anything in the village.

Chu Ping took advantage of the large number of people entering and leaving his shop every day, and even made up a nonsense to warn the people in the village.

"Auntie, have you heard, someone has recently inquired about my cousin's family in the village?"

"I've heard, I've heard, those two strangers were still hanging around under the big willow tree at the head of the village yesterday, and they were talking to my old man."

Chu Ping had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, and persuaded: "Oh, my aunt, go back and persuade the uncle, but don't talk to them!"

The eldest lady was a little puzzled and said, "What's wrong, the matter of your Chu family is not a secret in the village, and besides, it's the embarrassing side, what can't you say?"

Chu Ping said as if he had heard some joke: "Auntie, you have said it, no one in the village knows about my family's affairs, what am I stopping you from doing, I am afraid that you will be deceived, and I will turn around and call the sky and the earth unspiritual!"

Those people are liars, and they still come to ask about things that everyone knows, and the purpose is clearly not to inquire about my family's affairs, but to talk to you, to get close, and then to cheat your family's money!"
