Delicate Flower

Chapter 197: Make up

So fast!

Yu Tang was very surprised, but after the surprise, he became happy again. He felt lucky to choose Xiaotong's shopkeeper to help.

She thanked the treasurer Tong Da.

The shopkeeper Tong waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper Xiao Tong to come over. The three of them sat in the small flower hall in the inner hall behind the pawnshop to discuss the future.

The shopkeeper Tong said that he would first pay a lot of money to ask the outside master to help make a batch of incense sticks with large foot basins and thick arm incense, which will be used for offering incense at the lecture, and then taught to the masters and laymen of Kuan Temple. How to make this kind of incense, coupled with the incense making method that Miss 2 and Miss 3 have taught, most of the incense made is sent to Pei’s incense candle shop and a small part is left in the temple or sold to the door. Those who ask for incense, or to the pilgrims who come to Kuan Temple to offer incense.

The former Yu Tang could understand, it was exactly the same as she thought, but she didn't understand the latter, and said: "Ku'an Temple is quite remote, and there are few pilgrims. It is good for those who come to the incense to present some Buddha incense. , You can sell incense to people who ask for incense..."

Eight out of ten, no one buys it!

The shopkeeper Tong's chubby face smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and said, "Miss Yu, doing business is not that simple. Sometimes it’s for making money, sometimes it’s for fame. Sometimes it’s more important to make money. At that time, reputation is more important. In the final analysis, Kuan Temple is to do good deeds. Since doing good deeds, reputation is more important. Besides, Kuan Temple has no reputation at all, so how to open the reputation of Kuan Temple is The first thing is the most important thing. As you said, Kuan Temple is remote, there are few pilgrims, and even fewer people come to pray for incense, but our intention is not to sell incense—think about it, if you You can get incense when you go to Ku'an Temple, but those who don’t go in to get incense, want to buy the Buddhist incense from Ku'an Temple, but you have to buy it with silver. Do you choose to go in and get the incense? Or choose to go through the door and just buy it. Will you leave with a fragrance?"

Yu Tang suddenly, thoughtful.

The shopkeeper Tong looked at and nodded secretly.

It's no wonder that Yu Xiucai is reluctant to marry this daughter. This is a clever one. It can be understood in a few years. Maybe it will really support the Yu family in a few years!

When the treasurer Tong was happy, he simply said a little more: "So, the incense given to Zhaoming Temple is very important. It must smell good, and it must make those women feel comfortable smelling it. Ahai passes by. , The first thing is to smell what those Buddha incenses are like. I heard that there is an incense formula that can make sandalwood-scented Buddha incense. I think this is good. We can make a batch of sandalwood-scented Buddha incense separately. Come out, what festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival can be delivered on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. Some incense can be made to soothe the nerves. Many older pilgrims have problems with sleeping well..."

He talked a bit long when talking about business. When he felt that Yu Tang's eyes were a little stunned, he was surprised that he was talking too much, so he stopped the topic and laughed: "These are all my randomness. If you think about it, you have to analyze it in detail based on the actual situation, and we will talk about it after discussing it carefully."

But just talking casually like this has already opened up Yu Tang's eyes.

She hurriedly said, "You said, you said. It's just that I didn't think so much before, and I was afraid that I didn't remember it for a while. Could you let me find a pen and ink to write down?"

The treasurer Tong was stunned, and then laughed.

Yu Tang blushed and said anxiously: "I, my brain is really not enough, you still don't laugh at me."

"Very good, very good." The treasurer Tong didn't care, and smiled, "I'm also a person who has taken a lot of apprentices. I am not afraid of not knowing, I am afraid that I am not serious. You are very good like this, and the business of Kuan Temple will definitely be able to do it. It's done."

It turned out that in the eyes of the treasurer Tong, the Kuan Temple was nothing more than a business.

Yu Tang smiled blankly.

At this time, the shopkeeper Xiaotong had the opportunity to speak. He respectfully asked Yu Tang: "Can I take a look at the incense recipes? I have heard that you found these incense recipes from the original. Since they are from the original, they must be from the former. People use incense to admire luxury, and nowadays people use incense to admire elegance, and this incense will have to be adjusted."

This is a misunderstanding.

This incense recipe was made by Gu Xi in the previous life. It not only conforms to the hobbies of modern people, but is also particularly popular with women.

The shopkeeper Xiao Tong has never seen the made incense, so he naturally has some concerns.

Yu Tang immediately agreed: "We just want to help Kuan Temple have an income, so that we can't live on incense. You can change it no matter what you want."

As long as the person hired by the shopkeeper Xiaotong has this ability.

The big and small Tong shopkeepers were obviously relieved.

Yu Tang smiled secretly.

She stayed in the pawnshop for almost an hour, and the three talents gave a general idea of ​​the future regulations, but some details will be involved in the further discussion. The shopkeeper Xiao Tong has just taken over, and Yu Tang has not visited the Kuan Temple again. He didn’t know the question and the answer was not clear. They didn’t continue the discussion, but made an appointment to wait for the shopkeeper Xiao Tong to visit the Kuan Temple. , I'll talk about it after I found the incense maker.

Yu Tang got up and said goodbye.

The big and small Tong shopkeepers sent her out.

It is the season of warm spring, the camphor branches in the courtyard of the pawnshop’s inner courtyard are spitting green, fresh and gratifying, and the koi raised in the pond under the tree is swaying, lively and lovely.

Yu Tang couldn't help but pause.

She suddenly thought of the first time she entered the inner hall.

Pei Yan is in the elegant room.

She saw him in profile across the patio.

It seems to have happened yesterday.

In fact, almost two years have passed.

Yu Tang cocked the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly.

At that time, she just thought that Pei Yan was handsome and compelling, and it was unforgettable to see, but she did not expect that one day she would become Pei Yan's guest and would have so many entanglements with Pei's family.

She returned to Yu's house happily.

At the Pei Mansion, Shu Qing came back from Kuan Temple and was talking to Pei Yan about the road construction: "It's all arranged, and the road will be open in ten days at most, but if all are covered with bluestone slabs, I'm afraid it will be fine Half a year."

The most important thing is that during this time, every household may need to plow in spring or plant mulberry to prepare silkworms, and there may not be young adults helping to build roads.

He hesitated: "Would you like to ask Tang Zhifu for help?"

The nine-year term of Zhifu Tang is about to expire, and he has been looking for a better place, but because the Li family’s private raising of refugees as bandits was revealed last time, he neither wanted to offend Pei’s family, nor did he want to offend him. It seems to be the upstart Li's family. The result of both parties' courtesy is that neither of them are satisfied with the results of his treatment. At this point of view, the two companies will naturally not help him.

He is in a hurry about this matter.

But Pei Yan didn't want to give Tang Zhifu this opportunity. He said: "Ours is in Lin'an City. If you indulge a parent official like Tang Zhifu, what will the officials who will take office in the future think? According to me, the Li family took in the refugees privately. Things have to be mentioned again and again. The corner where he should be kicked as an official is to make those who go to Lin'an to become an official open their eyes and know what to do and not to do."

After thinking about it, Shu Qing nodded, and prepared to continue to talk to Pei Yan about the prefect-who will come to Lin'an to be the parents after the prefect Tang has left. If they are interested, they can influence the appointment and dismissal of Lin'an officials. Who knew that Pei Yan changed the topic and turned to the lecture at Zhaoming Temple on the Buddha Bathing Festival: "Has the schedule for that day come out? How is the donation arranged?"

He was stunned.

To be honest, this is a trivial matter. Given his status in the Pei Mansion, he would not pay attention to it at all. But as an assistant, he can't say that he doesn't know.

He immediately called for Hu Xing to come in.

Hu Xing immediately said: "There is no specific charter yet, but Lao An's point is, donate first, then give lectures, and those who want to donate again can continue to donate. Anyone who has donated that day can stay. The name, engraved on a stone tablet, is standing next to Wu Dao Song behind the temple. Do you think this works?"

Originally, there were old rules to follow in such matters. Although Hu Xing said that Lao An had not been fully determined, this charter must have been approved by Lao An, otherwise he would directly let Pei Yan decide. When he said this, he was only afraid that Pei Yan would have any opinions that would disagree with Lao An, so he said hello in advance. Of course, if Pei Yan had to change it, he would definitely modify it according to Pei Yan's intentions.

But the probability of this happening is very small.

Pei Yan is the sect master of the family, he is the person who is in charge of important matters. This kind of throwing incense silver and donating some sesame oil money did not need him to deal with before.

Hu Xing thought he might just ask on a whim, and he stood up very confidently, waiting for Pei Yan to praise him.

Because they continue to accept donations after the lecture, most of the donations after the lecture are ordinary people who are emotional after listening to the lecture, which is a temporary excitement. But in this way, the donation of things and silver will definitely be more than the ordinary Xianghui. This lecture funded by the Pei family will definitely be famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which will make the Pei family the icing on the cake.

Never thought that Pei Yan glanced at him, but said: "This is a good arrangement. However, this time I invited the high monks from the Southern Shaolin Temple to come over. The main thing is to let everyone listen to the teachings of the high monks. The donation afterwards remains the same, the donation before the lecture..." He pondered, "The monastery will arrange for the Zhike monk to take it up, and the masters of Zhiketang will sing a list of donations. It’s too late, this kind of in the lecture. It’s better for Pei Mansion to show his face less."

Hu Xing and Shu Qing tremblingly promised, and the other opened their eyes wide without blinking for a long time.

Pei Yan didn't care what these people thought.

After setting things up, the string that had been breaking in his heart finally loosened.

Everyone acted in unison, and it was changed temporarily. Ms. Yu shouldn't have any chance to make trouble, right?

He pondered in his heart, wondering if he still had anything to go wrong.

But Hu Xing and Shu Qing bowed and saluted strangely one by one, and exited the study.

Pei Yan began to think about Tang Zhifu.

Hu Xing grabbed Shu Qing and asked him sincerely: "What does the third master mean? Do you think my previous arrangements were too high-profile? His old man will not be angry, right?"

This new lord, moody, really made him unable to figure out the context.

Shu Qing was thinking about Yu Tang.

This matter will not have anything to do with the lady in the Yu family, will it?

Therefore, when he replied to Hu Xing, he was absentminded: "It shouldn't be! However, it was said that Miss Gu would also come to join in the fun that day. Although she is the eldest grandson-in-law, the position of the lord has fallen to the third master."
