Everyone does have two faces, but how many people dare to show two faces in front of Lao An
Pei Man kept complaining in his heart, and without showing anything on his face, he continued to answer "yes" respectfully, and sent someone to investigate.
Mrs. Wang is very wronged. Fortunately, Pei Man knows her temperament better. She knows that she has always been very nervous about the business of the Pei family. Send two red strings to tie the hair of those little maids, check it and pass.
Pei Yan was still worried, so someone invited Yu Tang over and asked her what she wanted from the tailor.
Yu Tang was embarrassed.
She didn't expect that Pei Man would ask Pei Yan to explain such a trivial matter.
"Isn't the lacquerware business at home not very good?" She told Pei Yan about the back and forth between herself and Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan was very contemptuous, and said: "Your family will let you, a little girl, play around like this?"
Yu Tang didn't like to hear these words. She said: "What is a little girl's house? I didn't mess around. The lacquerware shop in our house was passed down from my grandfather at that time. Although my father and my uncle had a separate room, the shop has never been separated." , have always been together, under the management of my uncle. My father and my uncle want me and my elder brother to run the shop together."
Pei Yan has always responded quickly to people and things. Hearing this, he immediately realized that the Yu family was planning to let Ms. Yu recruit a son-in-law. But he was inexplicably worried, and couldn't help saying: "Then you also agree with the arrangement at home?"
Men are ashamed to be married, and those who are willing to be son-in-law usually have some shortcomings.
Pei Yan frowned slightly.
Yu Tang didn't react for a while, and said, "What arrangement?"
Pei Yan felt a little annoyed.
How stupid is this little girl!
Usually very alert, when it comes to the critical moment, I don't know what to say.
He said angrily: "You agree to your family marrying you? Don't you have a cousin? He can pick two heads on one shoulder!"
This is the choice of many people.
There is no need to change the surname, and there is no need to separate from his own flesh and blood, but it is just an extra support for an uncle. But the property of the uncle's family should also be owned by the nephew, so it's a good deal after doing the math.
Only then did Yu Tang understand what he was talking about.
No matter how careless she is, it's not good for her to discuss this with Pei Yan.
Yu Tang blushed, and replied with a very safe sentence: "It is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Naturally, I obey my parents."
Then you still dare to speak nonsense in front of me!
These words came to Pei Yan's mouth, and he suddenly felt that it seemed inappropriate to say such words at this time... Although he didn't know why he thought it was inappropriate, and he didn't know why he had to swallow these words with his freewheeling temperament He went on, but he still endured and endured, and bluntly changed the topic to Yu's lacquerware shop: "Why do you look down on the patterns of that tailor's shop? I think it's very ordinary."
As soon as his words came out, Yu Tang breathed a long sigh of relief, and she realized that her heartstrings had been tense when she answered Pei Yan's question. As for why, she looked into Pei Yan's burning eyes and didn't have time to think about it for a moment. She felt as if she had escaped from the edge of the cliff without incident, which made her instinctively want to quickly expose this paragraph. She couldn't wait to say: "That's because you didn't notice their embroiderers. Their embroiderers are very good." She said, and gave an example of Miss Wu's embroidered shoes.
Pei Yan was still full of contempt, and said: "If I remember correctly, your shop is made of red paint, right?"
Yu Tang nodded again and again: "You remember correctly."
"Isn't picking red lacquer known for being gorgeous and low-key?" Pei Yan said disapprovingly, "Like the pattern you mentioned, what kind of utensils are you going to use the scattered flowers on? I don't need to look at this kind of pattern. I know that mother-of-pearl makes it look good. The pattern made of red lacquer can neither reflect the complicated craftsmanship of red lacquer nor the characteristics of red lacquer."
It was as if his family had an ancestral lacquerware shop.
Yu Tang was angry and a little unconvinced.
She knew that Pei Yan knew a lot, but she couldn't even understand lacquerware, right
Yu Tang was a little unconvinced and said: "What are the characteristics of picking red lacquer? Why can't it be left blank like a picture? I asked someone for a few pictures to make a pattern, and they sold very well."
Pei Yan curled her lips and said: "That's because those people have never seen better-looking objects with red lacquer. Besides, isn't the characteristic of red lacquer different from other lacquer crafts? Although I am a layman, But I also know that the difference between picking red lacquer and other lacquerware is that it needs to repeatedly smear dozens of layers of red lacquer on the object, and then carve the relief pattern after drying. If you leave blank space, you have to highlight the content of the pattern. It is naturally good to be a character. If it is a pattern or a pattern, I am afraid that you have to carefully consider the color of the blank space. Are you going to make your lacquerware black or something else? Is the bottom of the color not enough?"
"Of course not!" Yu Tang blurted out, and then didn't know what to say.
The main point of picking red lacquer is "red". If the base color changes to other colors, it is not called picking red lacquer.
Thinking of this, her heart moved, and she said, "Can you use another color as the background color?"
Pei Yan was tired and didn't really want to talk to her, so he lazily said: "Then you can try it, maybe you can innovate and create a new lacquerware craft."
Yu Tang really had such thoughts.
Her heart flew in an instant, and she wished she could go back to her shop in the blink of an eye and discuss this matter with Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan didn't want to pay attention to her little thoughts, and continued: "The craftsmanship of picking red lacquer lies in the word 'tick', and you should work hard on this aspect. Instead of asking those tailors for patterns, it's better to ask someone to repaint it." Painting patterns, figures and other patterns have high requirements for carvers, and the facial features must be lifelike, do you have such a master in your family?"
No!
Yu Tang didn't say anything.
Pei Yan didn't need her to say anything, she knew it at a glance. He simply said: "You go and bring those patterns of your house over to me to have a look."
Yu Tang stared at him with almond eyes, full of astonishment.
Pei Yan suddenly felt that her eyes looking at him were too bright, which made him feel a little glaring, and even gave him a slightly uncomfortable feeling. He couldn't help but coughed twice, and said, "Hurry up and let someone bring all those patterns over!"
Yu Tang jumped up, the little person in his heart danced and danced happily like a bird.
"Okay, okay." She was afraid that he would go back on his word, and she didn't care about being rude, so she rushed to the door and called Shuangtao over, and said, "Go to the shop quickly and tell the young master that the third master is willing to help us Let the family look at the pattern of lacquerware, and let him quickly take the pattern into the mansion."
Shuangtao was overjoyed.
If the Pei family is willing to help, the Yu family's lacquerware shop will definitely make a fortune.
The Yu family is well, they can hold their heads high when they go out, and they will have face.
"I'll go right away, I'll go right away." She also ran away in a hurry, regardless of etiquette.
Yu Tang was afraid that Pei Yan would be a three-minute heat, and secretly prayed in her heart that her elder brother would not stop for a moment when he got the letter, and rush over quickly; on the other hand, he felt that he had to hold Pei Yan steady, and he couldn't let his enthusiasm give him a break. scattered. Without thinking too much, she turned around and went back to her study, and immediately started talking to Pei Yan courteously.
It's just that she and Pei Yan have nothing in common in terms of knowledge cultivation or vision. In addition, Pei Yan's words are short. After asking if he has eaten and drank, he doesn't know what to say.
Yu Tang cursed in his heart.
Isn't there nothing worth mentioning if we don't mention the contents in the Four Books and Five Classics
She felt depressed, but she could only continue to find topics, and talked about the craftsmanship of lacquerware.
Pei Yan watched Yu Tang coldly looking for something to say. He should be impatient, should be disgusted. But looking at her bright eyes, the embarrassment when he couldn't find the topic, the secret joy when he found the topic, he felt like he was watching a funny show, no, he found it more interesting than watching a funny show.
He actually listened to her rambling like this for half an hour, until she said: "What do you think about our family hiring another skilled engraver", he couldn't hold back again, and reprimanded in a low voice : "Your family has run a lacquerware shop for several generations, right? There are so many disciples in the family, but you still want to invite a skilled carver to come back. Are you hitting the face of the Yu family? Or hitting your uncle? Face? Even if your uncle agrees, your dad probably won't agree, right?"
Yu Tang suddenly lost his voice.
Indeed, if she really brought back a master carver, her uncle might think she was accusing him of not running the shop well.
So what to do
Give up carving figures
How can that work
Yu Tang shook his head.
The business of their lacquerware shop was not good before, because the products were single. If there were no more character pictures and fewer choices, the business would probably be even worse, right
She was there brooding.
Pei Yan looked at her with interest.
She shakes her head for a while, laughs for a while, frowns for a while, and hangs her head for a while. The expressions and movements are so rich that even the three-year-old child of the Pei family is not as active as her.
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion that Miss Yu's appearance is outstanding, no matter how you look at it, she is pleasing to the eye, if someone else made such a move, he would have been regarded as mad by him.
It's also her luck that he is hiding from Shen Shanyan, so he can spend some time with her here.
Pei Yan thought about it, and said: "There are only two kinds of business now. One is to do everything, and everyone will never go empty-handed. The other is to make the business top-notch. As long as you think of this object, the first The first thing is to go to their house to have a look. If their house is gone, you will consider other houses. This lacquerware shop in your family is famous for making red lacquerware.
Is that true
Yu Tang was a little apprehensive, and said: "But if you want to be the top, it should be very difficult, right?"
Their family has no confidence in being able to do this.
Pei Yan sneered, and said: "Spend the same amount of effort, time, and energy, and you are inferior to others in everything. Your family is quite promising."
