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

Maybe they really have a Belden pass!

Before Shou Xiao, didn't Pei Yan never planted any land? But now, even she has heard that the peaches, plums and pears from Pei’s Zhuangzi have been sold to Jiangnan and Lianghu. There are also rumors that the peaches they produce will be a tribute.

Yu Tang had to suppress the doubts in his heart, and sat quietly beside him listening to Pei Yan's words.

I heard him ask her brother in the lobby: "What do you want to make your store look like?"

Yu Yuan was taken aback, thought about it, and cautiously said: "You must make money every year, so that the elders in the family don't have to worry about the business in the shop."

Pei Yan curled his lips while listening, and said, "Your ambition is too great."

Yu Tang knew what he was saying was ironic, and wondering whether to say a few words to the lobby brother, Yu Yuan already laughed and said: "We are a small family, but this is not the only ambition. If we want to expand our business, we have to There are people in the officialdom. Our family is thin and the one who reads best is my second uncle, so we don’t sit on this mountain and look at the high mountain."

She thought that the brother in the lobby would be even more disdainful when he heard this. Who knew that Pei Yan's expression was slightly sluggish, as if thinking of something, he was in a daze for a long time, and then she whispered: "Satisfaction with Changle! Sometimes this is a blessing."

There was a little bit of resentment in his voice, which made Yu Tang's hair horrified.

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

She couldn't help turning her head to look at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan happened to look back and met her gaze.

Yu Tang hurriedly smiled at him.

He was stagnant again, then curled his mouth like a mockery, swept away the depression and frustration, and became domineering again, saying: "You want to make money, but you have to make money! You only need to target If you decide to make money, then you will definitely not be able to make a lot of money. Let me say, you have to be bolder, how can you be the first in Lin'an and the top three in Zhejiang? No, even if you are the first in Lin'an and the first in Zhejiang Third, it is estimated that there is no way to be famous in Suzhou or Guangdong. According to my opinion, you have to find a way to make the store the number one in Zhejiang. In this way, your store will not worry about making money. Think about it, did I say anything? reason."

Makes sense.

Not to mention Yu Yuan, even Yu Tang also thinks what he said makes sense.

But if you want to be the number one in Zhejiang, you must first have money to invest and second, you must be sheltered.

Pei Yan really doesn't have a backache while standing and talking!

But Yu Yuan and Yu Tang are both smart people. Pei Yan knows what is going on in their family and dare to say that. Most of them already have some ideas. Yu Yuan also noticed that the third elder of the Pei family is different from the old elder. The old elder is like the warm sun in winter. If there is anything difficult to ask, he will do it for you as soon as he knows it. The third master especially likes to be flattered by others, even if there is a way, he has to be supported before he can tell you.

He wasn't afraid of embarrassment, he said directly: "I am always dull, can't think of any way? You are the third master of Pei Mansion, there must be a way. Or, just tell me directly."

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

He looked at Yu Tang without speaking.

Yu Tang was so angry.

Could it be that her brother did not make good things when her brother said good things, and she still had to say a few good things too?

Yu Tang ignored him and looked straight at him.

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

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

Of course, he wasn't afraid of this trouble, but he felt that his time was precious, and he couldn't just waste it for a small matter, not to mention that Shen Shanyan was chasing after him, making him impossible to guard against. He had better settle the Yu family's affairs as soon as possible.

Pei Yan bluntly said: "I thought of it when I saw your lacquerware. In a few days, a prince will come here to review a few cases. I got the letter, and the director of the ceremony may also follow. You Just as I said, think of a way to make a few beautiful red-painted boxes as soon as possible, and I will use them as gifts. Then the reputation of your box will be gone."

After all, we still have to go this way.

Yu Yuan was overjoyed, and repeated "yes".

Seeing that there was no joy on Yu Tang's face, Pei Yan was immediately unhappy, and asked Yu Tang, "Do you think this is bad?"

"No." Of course, Yu Tang knew that Pei Yan was helping their family. But since she decided to run out of Li's house, she knew that everything is better than asking yourself. Others can help you for a while, but can't help you for the rest of your life. After receiving the favor of others, keeping it in mind, and repaying others at the same time, we must also take advantage of this opportunity to stand up on her own, so as not to disappoint those who helped her.

She said: "I'm thinking, what kind of boxes to make!"

Pei Yan looked dazed and said: "Today is too late, it's a little too late. I will draw a few patterns for you when I have time these days, and make up eight or eleven pictures. As for your home By the way, you have to make the box as soon as possible."

The red-painted box has to be painted back and forth with dozens of layers of paint on the box.

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

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

Yu Tang took the box and handed it to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan looked at their boxes carefully and said, "This carving is really ordinary. Look, here, here, and here, the lines are not clean enough. You must pay attention to the boxes I want. . Also, the paint is not bright enough. Is it because the paint is not good? Or your family can’t make a brighter paint? The red-lacquered box I saw in the palace shines on people, like a mirror. Yes, you have to find a way to achieve this kind of craftsmanship."

Yu Tang also doesn't understand the craftsmanship of red lacquer.

She and Pei Yan looked at Yu Yuan together.

Yu Yuan was so nervous that his vest was sweating, and said, "It's because the paint is not good. When my grandfather was there, he used to make a box that was as bright as a mirror, but it took a lot of work."

That is, the technical aspect can still be solved.

Pei Yan immediately said: "That's good. You first put in some good paint, and then discuss with the master at home how to make a mirror-like box and how to improve your house's engraving work." After speaking, he shouted. A Ming came in, "You go to the tent and pay two thousand taels of silver to the little boss."

The Yu brothers and sisters were stunned by this change, and said in unison: "No, no. Our family still has the money. You helped our family so much last time, and there is money in the silver building!"

But Pei Yan did not change his original intention, saying: "Since it was my idea, I am responsible for the success or failure of this matter. This silver is not for you, but temporarily lent to you. When you make money, it is necessary Give it back to me." After finishing speaking, he was still afraid that they would not accept it. After a pause, he continued, "You are good for three points."

Now Yu Tang and Yu Yuan have nothing to say.

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

Pei Yan frowned so much that it could catch the mosquitoes, and said, "Mr. Shen, please go to the flower hall and sit for a while, I'll be here."

Yu Yuan watched as he got up and said goodbye.

Yu Tang didn't stay a lot, but she couldn't help but whispered to Pei Yan before leaving the house: "What is Mr. Shen looking for? I heard that he always comes to you these days!"

Pei Yan hesitated to speak but stopped.

Yu Tang was very surprised.

What's the matter? Actually let Pei Yan, who went straight, don't know what to say...

But she is not the person who is difficult for the strong, she just thought that she hadn't asked this before, and smiled: "Then I will send me off first."

Pei Yan nodded.

The Yu brothers and sisters left the farming garden.

Yu Yuan said, "How many days will you stay here? I will pick you up then?"

Yu Tang shook his head and said: "Auntie is going to have a baby after some time? You still leave me alone. I will stay at Pei's house for two or three days. Then the Pei's sedan chair will take me back. Don't worry. , Just take care of the things the three masters confessed."

"That's for sure." Yu Yuan said with emotion, "The third master is a great kindness to us, we can't draw his boat. In any case, I will make the box that the third master wants this time."

Yu Tang encouraged the brother in the lobby with a few words, and watched the brother in the lobby leave Pei's house, and then she walked slowly to the guest room she was staying in.

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

Moreover, Pei Yan did not deliberately conceal the fact that Pei Yan helped the Yu family's lacquerware shop. I believe the people in Pei's family will know soon. Would she like to talk to Pei Laoan? After all, it was their Yu family who received the favor, and she should say thank you for her feelings and reasons.

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

Lao An was leaning on the chaise couch listening to Pearl reading Buddhist scriptures to her. Seeing her come in, he smiled and asked Pearl to move the embroidered pier.

Yu Tang was polite, sat down, exchanged a few words with Lao An, and slowly led the topic to what was just now: "...Sent my brother away, thinking about him going back to make a box. Now, I’d like to ask if you have any favorite patterns. I will ask Brother Brother to make a few things for you.”

Pei Laoan's eyes rolled.

Little girl, do you want to tell her that the Yu family has been favored by Pei Yan?

Pei Laoan said with a smile: "You said that Xia Guang helped your family draw two drawings? I don't want anything else, so you can give me two boxes of the drawings he drew."

This is simple.

Yu Tang was most afraid that Lao An Pei felt that she had ulterior motives to rub Pei Yan's light.

"Okay." She replied hurriedly, "I asked my brother to choose the two best carved for you."

Pei Laoan thought for a while, and said: "Then just make more for me. I will send Buddhist scriptures to Zhaoming Temple during the Buddha Bathing Festival. You can make two more boxes that can hold Buddhist scriptures."

Yu Tang replied repeatedly, and when Miss Wu left school, the two accompanied Pei Laoan for dinner and talked about the Buddhist incense, and then they went back to the house.

Aunt Chen asked Lao An Pei: "Would you like to talk to the third master."

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