Mrs. Pei understood what Mrs. Chen meant, and she also felt that it was a little inappropriate, but Yu Tang's identity... not only interfered with her seniority, but was also too low. She felt that her son would not have such thoughts. Moreover, even if her son had such thoughts, she didn't want to care about it.
The three boys in their family are really stubborn.
Her husband is gone, and she doesn't want to be separated from her sons anymore.
The most important thing is that with the death of her husband, the person who was always with her leader disappeared suddenly. She felt the impermanence of the world, and some things that were not related to the bottom line that she insisted on and insisted on when she was young were also gone. Not so persistent.
Mr. Pei Lao'an pointedly said to Aunt Chen: "Xia Guang is the youngest, he is our old man. When he was born, his two elder brothers were already grown up, and it can be seen that they are both studying. Seed, we are not as strict with him as we are with his two elder brothers. As the saying goes, it is good to have grandchildren but not sons. But Xia Guang, who grew up on his father's shoulders since childhood, is the first Even A Tong, the eldest grandson of the child who was taken care of by the old man himself, has never enjoyed this kind of pampering.
Don't think that Xia Guang always fights against the old man, in fact, he is the one who is closest to the old man, and the old man loves him the most. The old lady has gone, and even I, a widow, slowly recovered because of my granddaughter and grandson respecting me at my knees. But Xia Guang's breath is still stuck in his chest! Don't think that you are hiding it from me, I don't know. A few days ago, the guy named Zhi in the Xiaguang Courtyard just sprinkled some perfume on his body, so he just called the matchmaker over... He was not such a violent temper in the past. But look at these two years...
He was upset and couldn't express it, I knew it.
If it pleases him, let him be. "
Aunt Chen thought about it, and then she felt relieved, and said with a smile: "That's right. The third master of our family has his own ideas. If we can think of it, he must be able to think of it. Miss Yu is really a sweet girl. Don't talk, but have a demure temperament and understand the general situation."
Pei Lao'an was noncommittal, and asked about the Buddha's Bathing Festival: "Can the place where the eminent monk live be arranged? Let Hu Xing keep an eye on him. He is also an old man, and I don't need to say some rules."
Aunt Chen hurriedly said: "Don't worry. In addition to Hu Xing, the third master also sent two stewards to help. Everything has been properly arranged."
The two sat and talked under the dim yellow gourd lantern.
The Yu family's lacquerware shop in Lin'an City stayed up all night.
According to Pei Yan's request, Yu Yuan led Xia Pinggui to make the box. The eyes of both of them were red, especially Xia Pinggui, because he held the carving knife for too long, and his hands began to tremble.
Seeing that this is not a problem, Yu Yuan persuaded: "Don't make a big mistake because of a small one. If you can't do it, just take a rest first."
Xia Pinggui smiled wryly, and said, "When will the new paint arrive?"
After all, Yu Yuan is a young owner, and he pays more attention to the sales in the shop, while Xia Pinggui is a craftsman, and he cares more about skills. Pei Yan's words hit his ears like thunder, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly figured out some things that he couldn't figure out before. Pei Yan doesn't know lacquerware, but he knows how to appreciate it, and the level of appreciation is very high. He wanted to meet such an opportunity again, and it was very difficult to hear such advice.
He wants to seize this opportunity.
If Xia Pinggui didn't have this tenacity, he would have drifted with Yu Bo long ago.
Seeing Xia Pinggui's appearance, Yu Yuan knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he stopped trying to persuade him, saying: "I can come early tomorrow morning. According to the experience of previous years, the time should come in time."
The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is about to pass the Dragon Boat Festival.
Xia Pinggui nodded, and focused his gaze on the red lacquer box on the table again: "What do you think of the lotus petals I carved this time? Did it meet Master Pei San's requirement of crisp lines and clear corners?"
Yu Yuan smiled and said: "Regardless of whether there is or not, you can go and squat for a while, and I will call you again when the newly bought paint arrives—it depends on whether our Yu family's shop can make a lot of money like what Master Pei San said this time." You, you can't let me down at the critical moment." Then he said earnestly, "Even if you are not thinking about yourself, you should also think about the brothers in the shop!"
Xia Pinggui hesitated for a while, then a little apprentice ran in.
"Master, master." He didn't take a closer look at the people in the room and just kept shouting, "Where is the young master? The young mistress gave birth to a young master, and the eldest wife told the young master to go back quickly!"
"Ah?!" Not only Yu Yuan and Xia Pinggui, but everyone in the workshop looked up at Yu Yuan.
Some disciples who reacted quickly stood up and shouted "Congratulations, Young Master".
The others also came to their senses and congratulated Yu Yuan one after another.
Yu Yuan's eyes were narrowed into a slit, and he didn't care about discussing with Xia Pinggui about picking the red lacquer box, so he ran out, and while running, he said loudly: "Pinggui, I will leave this place to you. I'll go home and have a look first, and I'll be back later. You might as well take a nap first."
Before Xia Pinggui could reply, he had already run away without a trace.
Back home, Mrs. Wang was holding a baby in her arms, and she was talking to Mrs. Chen overjoyed, "Why don't you find someone who is in good health? Look at your nephew and daughter-in-law. It was activated last night, and it was started early this morning." Just gave birth. The baby doesn’t need to say anything, he can eat when he sits up, and our sweetheart can eat when he opens his eyes. I didn’t even use the rice soup I prepared.”
Mrs. Chen took a look at the swaddling clothes in a strange way, and said in her mouth: "Who says it's not. Like me, I couldn't do it back then. Our family, A Tang, also suffered when she was born. It's good that my nephew and daughter-in-law can eat. I've already talked to the people in the west of the city The butcher agreed, I'll go get two sets of pig's feet tomorrow morning."
The content of the speech made Yu Yuan blush so much that he could bleed, but he had to bite the bullet and go forward to say hello to the two elders.
The Wang family has a grandson, and everything is fine. He nodded at his son and said, "Go and see your wife. She has made great contributions to our family. You should treat her better in the future."
Yu Yuan responded repeatedly, looked around, and found that apart from his mother and Chen Shi, there were only the wet nurse for the child and the two people around Xiang Shi, he couldn't help asking: "Where is A Tang? Have you notified her?"
"Notified, notified." Chen said repeatedly, "I walked back and forth with the person who reported to you. Counting the time, she should know."
Yu Yuan smiled and said "That's good", carefully took the swaddling baby in the mother's hand and looked at it for a while, and felt that the child was red and wrinkled, like a monkey, so he put the child back in the mother's hand. In his arms, he said "I'm going to see the child's mother", and hurried into the inner room.
Wang looked at her and shook her head, smiled and said to Chen, "You can see clearly, this means forgetting mother when you have a daughter-in-law."
Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law is not the same. When Yu Yuan came back, you cared a lot about him. You asked him if he had eaten and drank, and you would even pour him a cup of tea. Look at you just now, Not to mention the tea, but I didn't give him an extra look, I've been looking at your grandson all the time. You are the one who sleeps on the bamboo mat and sleeps on the floor, no one is better than the other."
Mrs. Wang was not annoyed when she was teased, she laughed, and continued to talk about her grandson with Mrs. Chen, as for how Yu Yuan arranged for his own wife, Mrs. Wang didn't even bother to ask.
Yu Tang came back in the afternoon.
Another load of stuff.
In addition to Pei Lao'an's gift, there is also Pei Yan's gift.
Because Yu Bo and Yu Wen also got the letter at this time, the family sat around the child, looked at the child with a smile, and talked, and no one noticed that there was a gift list in this car belonging to Mr. Pei, and one was from Mr. Pei. Banquet.
After the things were taken out, they were picked out by Mrs. Wang and sent to Mrs. Xiang to mend her body, and then the driver delivered the things to Yu Tang's house.
But Yu Yuan had already stayed at home for a long time, and wanted to rush back to the shop, so he only had time to ask Yu Tang: "You came back so soon, how is the matter of Buddha incense?"
Yu Tang smiled and said: "It's okay, Master Pei San sent someone to look at it, it's much more reliable than us."
Yu Yuan patted Yu Tang on the shoulder, indicating that he knew, and hurried out the door.
Yu Tang rushed to hug the child for a while, and then went to the inner room to talk to Xiangshi for a while, when she came out, several elders were discussing the "three baptisms" for the child.
After a few days of busy work like this, the child finished the "Three Baptisms", Yu Yuan's box was also finished, and he invited Yu Tang to Pei's residence together.
Seeing his scruffy beard, Yu Tang had been staying in the shop since the day her little nephew was born, and she couldn't help asking: "Is there a need to be in such a hurry?"
"How can you not be in a hurry?!" Yu Yuan's face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were full of spirits, "I am a father now, so I need to make more money. Otherwise, I can't even pay for my children's education. Can I borrow money this time?" After the Dongfeng of Master Pei San, it all depends on the box made this time."
Yu Tang felt that if it were him, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
She said: "You have neglected my sister-in-law too much."
Who knew that Yu Yuan proudly said: "This is also what your sister-in-law meant. She and I are of the same mind, hoping to make the kind of box that Master Pei San said."
Yu Tang stroked his forehead, thinking why the older generation told the younger generation not to meddle in other people's housework, so it was very reasonable.
She took the box brought by Yu Yuan to look, the ones with patterns were exactly the lotus and plum blossom paintings painted by Pei Yan, and the ones without patterns were plain faces. Those with patterns are just like what Pei Yan said, although the carvings are only flowers, they have clear outlines, with a bit of the bustling beauty unique to red lacquerware;
Yu Tang was startled and said, "Well, does this count as a success?"
"I don't know!" Yu Yuan seemed humble, but actually said proudly, "I'll only know if I show Master Pei San."
"I think it can be done!" Yu Tang actually thinks that those plain-faced boxes should be brighter, and the small details of the lotus and plum blossom pictures are still uncomfortable to look at, but she sees her big cousin working so hard. , and embarrassed to hit him, "Then let's go to Pei's house to show the third master, and then you can go home and have a good sleep."
This time Yu Yuan did not refute.
The two brothers and sisters held the box, got into the sedan chair, and went to Pei's mansion.
