The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more it happened.
It's a pity that Rizhao is too far away from here, even if she has doubts, it is difficult to verify, and counting the days, that matter has become an unjust case, and she doesn't know what else she can do.
However, eight or nine out of ten of the 50 mu of land in the Li family's Yongye farmland was used to launder the money he had corrupted when he was the magistrate in Rizhao.
She couldn't sit still.
Li Yi had been the magistrate in Rizhao for seven or eight years. If his intentions were really wrong, there must be more than this unjust, false and wrongful case, which shows that he is not a good person. Now that he is an official in the capital, he has more power and contacts with more people and things. Who knows if he will do something ignorant of his conscience again.
Speaking of which, their family is also a victim!
If Li Yi hadn't been an official abroad, would the Li family dare to murder
Yu Tang suddenly felt a sense of hatred against the enemy, and felt that it was fine if he didn't know. If he knew it, he would remain indifferent, and if he didn't make good use of it, and pull the Li family down, how could he be worthy of Wei Xiaoshan who died in vain
She quickly got up from the bed, called A Shao to come in, and said, "Go and ask Mr. Hu for me. Let's see when the third master is free. I have something to see the third master."
Among the people Yu Tang knew, only Pei Yan was able to find out whether Li Yi had done those things.
She needs Pei Yan's help.
A Shao went away in response, and came back half an hour later to tell her: "The oranges are ripe in the Pei family's Zhuangzi in Ji'an, and the third master has gone to Ji'an to sell oranges. Come back tomorrow night and ask if you are in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, just Please write a letter to the third master, if you are not in a hurry, wait for the third master to come back and then set a time."
Urgent, but not in a hurry in this day and a half.
However, Pei Yan sells oranges... What's going on
Are the oranges on the market at this time
Yu Tang is more curious about Pei Yan selling oranges than about Li Yi.
She said: "Then you can go back to Mr. Hu and set a time when the third master comes back."
Ah Shao ran away again.
Ma Xiuniang asked Magpie to bring a letter to see her, and asked her to go home for lunch.
Yu Tang told Mrs. Chen, took two silk flowers that she made herself, accompanied by Shuang Tao, and went to Zhang's house.
Ma Xiuniang was instructing the woman in the kitchen to burn the pig's head. When she saw her arrive, she came out of the kitchen, patted on her apron.
When Yu Tang entered the second gate, he smelled a scent of stew, and immediately went forward to salute, and said, "What delicious food did you cook? You also called me from home. Where is Qing'er? Why don't you see her?" Is brother-in-law at home? I'm just here, will it be too disturbing? "
"Why are you talking so much!" Seeing her smiling face, Ma Xiuniang was dazzlingly beautiful, so she couldn't help pinching her little face, and said, "Since I called you Come on, there must be nothing inappropriate. Your brother-in-law went to the restaurant and didn't come back for lunch. That little girl Qing'er knows how to sleep all day long, like a little pig, you don't need to worry about her."
The two talked and entered the house hand in hand.
The magpie came in with refreshments.
The two sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries. Ma Xiuniang talked about the reason for inviting her over this time: "It was supposed to be me who went to see you, but Qing'er is too young, and she hasn't left me since she was born." , I was worried about leaving her at home alone, so I called you over. I just want to ask you, last time you said that you asked your brother-in-law to help your shop draw patterns, do you still need someone to help? ?” She blushed when she said this.
Yu Tang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes. It's just that the pattern is missing. It would be great if brother-in-law could help. It depends on whether my sister wants to sell one piece for one piece of money? Or sell it to us all at once. Family?"
Ma Xiuniang didn't know the difference, and she wasn't too good at asking.
In Yu Tang's previous life, because of Yu Yuan, he paid more attention to the family's business, and had dealings with those shopkeepers. He knew that only by understanding the principles of business and business can he do business in the long run. Ma Xiuniang didn't ask, but she said first: "The price of selling one piece is one piece, that is, everyone agrees how much to sell a piece of lacquerware. For example, if this pattern is used on a mirror dowry, the mirror dowry sells for one tael." Silver, for every piece you sell, you will be given ten cents to your family; if you sell all of them to our family at one time, that is how much you pay for a painting, and let us use it for our own use. Now our family invites an outside master to paint a painting It’s about one tael of silver a piece. But my brother-in-law is different. My brother-in-law’s paintings are good. If he is willing to sell them to our family, our family will definitely pay double the silver. Sister, it depends on how convenient your family is. Our family It's all possible."
If Ma Xiuniang hadn't been waiting for the money to be used, she wouldn't have encouraged Zhang Hui to draw pictures for Yu's family, and Zhang Hui only promised Ma Xiuniang to draw twenty pictures and would not draw any more. Where does the family make money
She blushed even more, and whispered: "You also know about my family..."
Hearing this, Yu Tang understood, and immediately said: "That's fine. Just sell it all to our family. I said that because some painters like to sell one piece and one knot. My sister has never touched these. Did I explain it to you clearly? You can rest assured and let your brother-in-law paint, and I will do the rest!"
When she said this, Ma Xiuniang became even more embarrassed, and said, "Your brother-in-law, I only plan to draw twenty pictures."
Yu Tang also thought that Zhang Xiucai would not always do this, so he was not disappointed, but happy to get Zhang Hui's painting. She said: "Twenty is only twenty, it's better than our family can't get even one. Sister, when do you think I will come to pick up the paintings?"
Ma Xiuniang laughed, and said: "Your brother-in-law was just moved by me, how could it be so fast. However, you have to tell me what kind of pattern your family wants, so that I can urge your brother-in-law to finish the painting as soon as possible." .”
Yu Tang said: "The elegant things in the study will do."
Their family does not lack patterns such as Magu's birthday greetings and Peng Zu's ascension to the throne, but what is lacking are elegant pieces that literati will like.
Ma Xiuniang smiled and said, "Okay! I understand. You can just go back and wait for the news."
Yu Tang thanked repeatedly.
But Ma Xiuniang took Yu Tang's hand and said with emotion: "I should thank you."
It was obviously a matter of mutual benefit, but Yu Tang did it as if the Yu family had taken a lot of benefits from their family.
Ma Xiuniang was suddenly very fortunate to have made Yu Tang a friend, but she didn't know that Yu Tang was also very grateful that she had not missed it in her life and became friends with Ma Xiuniang.
After leaving Zhang's house, Yu Tang went directly to Yu's shop on Changxing Street.
From a distance, she saw Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian, Xiangshi's dowry maid, standing at the door of the shop talking, Xia Lian was still holding a food box.
She guessed that Xia Lian was ordered by her sister-in-law to deliver lunch to her eldest cousin.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
There are apprentices cooking in the shop, of course it is not as good as at home, my sister-in-law is feeling sorry for the big cousin who can't eat well.
It wasn't until she got closer that Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian's smiles looked too bright.
A trace of doubt flashed in Yu Tang's heart.
Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian, who saw her, jumped to the side like cats whose tails had been stepped on. Xia Pinggui even greeted her with a hundred times more enthusiasm than usual: "Little Miss, come here Yes. Are you here to look for the master or the young master? The master has gone to find Master Xiang and has not come back yet, and the young master is guarding in the shop? I will take you in!" Then he lowered his eyes, like a headless fly It seems to rush in.
Xia Lian said in a panic, "Miss, I'm going back first, I'm here to deliver food to the young master's house, our young mistress is still waiting for my reply", and ran away in a hurry.
Is she that scary
Yu Tang muttered in his heart, suddenly a flash of inspiration.
Did Xia Pinggui treat Xia Lian...
She didn't show it on the face, but the villain in her heart laughed straight.
In her previous life, this happened to her when she was in the Li family.
Some of the maids and servants around her took a fancy to her. However, the Lin family did not allow such a thing to happen in the family, so they sold the maids and servants, saying that this kind of thing should not set a precedent, otherwise it would be easy to collude and steal.
However, Xia Pinggui and Xia Lian are quite suitable. At that time, I have to remind her sister-in-law that if the two of them really have this intention, it is better to fulfill them early, so as not to make trouble and make everyone look bad.
Yu Tang calmly went to the tent where Yu Yuan was resting, and told Yu Yuan about Zhang Hui.
Yu Yuan was overjoyed, and said: "Do you know what Dad is going to find Master Xiang for? A few days ago, Dad took over a job. Someone wanted to order fifty cages, but they wanted a pattern like Sijiruyi, so Dad went to find it. Master Xiang has gone to draw a pattern. You also know that Master Xiang, a pattern costs at least five taels of silver."
Yu Tang became anxious after hearing this: "Then you should hurry up and find someone to inform your uncle. If your uncle has a good talk with Master Xiang, it will be difficult to change course. Also, Master Xiang, I know, is the most important person in Lin'an City. A well-known painter. If Mr. Xiang is five taels of silver, then Mr. Zhang will at least get four taels of silver, right?"
The painter she knew before only charged one or two taels of silver for a painting, but who knew that Master Xiang would be so expensive.
Yu Yuan hastily told Xia Pinggui that there was an important guest at home and that Yu Bo should come back quickly. After Xia Pinggui left, he continued to talk about this matter with Yu Tang: "We told Dad before that the pattern at home is a bit old, and Dad knows it, but he loves money more, and always thinks that we can make do with it in a few days. Just a few days. If it wasn’t for someone asking for a pattern like Four Seasons Ruyi this time, this business would not be possible. Father, do the math, the money earned from this business is just enough to pay for the master’s drawing , I gritted my teeth and looked for it. Otherwise, why did I delay until now!"
Yu Tang smiled helplessly.
The siblings drank tea for a long time, and Yu Bo rushed back panting.
"I heard you found a better pattern master?" He asked as soon as he entered the door, before taking a sip of tea.
"Not a drawing master." Yu Tang told Yu Bo about Zhang Hui.
Yu Bo was really hesitant, and said: "Young Master Zhang's paintings must be good, but whether they can sell well or not."
The price of four taels of silver is even worse.
Yu Tang laughed and said: "Since this business can pay for Master Xiang's drawings, and the drawings in our shop are always said to be nothing new, I think it's better to let Mr. Zhang draw a few paintings according to the merchant's wishes. So, if the customer is satisfied, please ask Mr. Zhang to draw. You can also earn a few taels of silver!"
Yu Bo thought that his family would not be at a disadvantage, so he agreed.
