Pei Yan felt that Chen's refusal was very good.
Yu Tang stayed at Pei's house, everyone wanted to ask her out, so he had to think of many ways to go out with Yu Tang alone. It will be different when Yu Tang returns to her natal family, as long as she has the consent of Chen Shi and Yu Wen.
Instead, he persuaded Pei Lao'an: "This is not a temporary thing, let her spend a few solar terms at Yu's house this year."
Next year, it will be a holiday at Pei's house.
Mr. Pei Lao'an heard his son's unfinished words, and laughed hehe. On the day when he went down the mountain to return to Pei's mansion to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, he gave Yu Tang a lot of ritual gifts and medicinal materials. Back to Green Bamboo Lane.
Mrs. Chen had already prepared a lot of food and waited for her daughter to come back. After seeing Yu Tang, she hugged her daughter and refused to let go. It was still Yu Wen who couldn't stand watching, and said, "It's not that I can't see you anymore. Is it worth it?"
"I think my daughter is still wrong?" Ms. Chen muttered in a low voice, rolled her husband's eyes, and pulled Yu Tang back to her inner room to talk, "Is Laoan Pei not unhappy when you come back?"
"No!" Yu Tang comforted Chen Shi with good words for a long time, Chen Shi was relieved, happily waited for Yu Tang to change clothes, had dinner with her, and then went to say hello to Wang Shi together.
Mrs. Wang was doing needlework beside her sleeping grandson. When she knew they were coming, she put down her work and went out to welcome them.
Yu Tang saluted Wang Shi respectfully, and Wang Shi held Yu Tang's hand up and down and looked her up and down with a smile for a while, seeing her rosy complexion, her eyes sparkling and sparkling, she couldn't help but said with a smile: "Your mother Mom said that Mr. Pei Laoan called you to teach you some housekeeping skills. Your mother and I were afraid that you would not do well, so we kept talking at home for a long time. Now that I see you, I feel relieved Yes. It can be seen that our family A Tang and the Pei family are still destined."
The last sentence, she said to Mrs. Chen.
Chen Shi pursed her lips and smiled.
Yu Tang asked about Xiang Shi, knowing that she had gone to the shop to deliver food to Yu Yuan, so she went into the room with Chen Shi to see the little nephew, talked again, and Xiang Shi came back.
Mrs. Wang left Yu Tang's mother and daughter to eat at home, and asked the family servants to report to Yu Bo and Yu Yuan who were in the shop, telling them to come back for dinner early.
Yu Tang also didn't see Xiangshi for some days, the two sisters-in-law sat in the yard and talked for a long time, and when the sun was west, Yu Bo and Yu Yuan came back, and the house was full of excitement again.
When Yu Wen came over, the two brothers had to talk about the Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Yuan quietly tugged on Yu Tang's sleeve, and the siblings stood under the eaves talking about themselves.
"I received a big order from the shop yesterday." He blinked at Yu Tang, "It's a pen and ink shop in Hangzhou. They ordered a thousand small boxes containing ink ingots, and asked to carve patterns such as step by step. Dad I was very happy, but I asked Yao San to inquire about it, and said that it was introduced by Tong Er, the shopkeeper of Pei's pawnshop. How about asking the third master to draw some drawings for us! This is our first order. One pick, if you do well, you can help those pen and ink shops in the future."
Rich people can afford to read books, so things in pen and ink shops are expensive. And if you want to carve a box like red lacquer for decoration, it is a very high-end four treasures of the study.
Such a box should not only be well-crafted, but also elegant in design.
Not all lacquerware shops can do it.
If the Yu family can win this business, it will open the way for the brush and ink shop, and the Yu family's lacquerware shop will reach a new level in terms of word of mouth and business.
Maybe one day it will become a tribute.
But Yu Tang looked at the teasing eyes of his eldest cousin, couldn't help but blushed, and said angrily: "That's the kind of box that our family can make!"
Yu Yuan chuckled.
But Yu Tang knew about the skills of the Yu family lacquerware shop. Seeing Yu Yuan being so heartless, she became a little worried again, and couldn't help saying: "Brother, can our family do it in time for a thousand boxes? Or , I'd better go and ask Mr. Pei San to draw some pictures for our house? He has a high vision, if he is willing to nominate, the things he draws must be good. "
Yu Yuan did have such thoughts, but after all, his sister hadn't married yet, would Mr. Pei San be willing
Yu Tang didn't think much about it, and said, "I'll try it."
If he doesn't agree, she will grind until he agrees.
Who asked him to suggest that their shop featured flowers.
This is really whoever came up with the idea and whoever ran around.
Pei Yan will definitely complain when she finds out.
But he just complains, and it's also very interesting...
Thinking about it, Yu Tang couldn't wait to see Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was also a little uncomfortable.
When he lived in another courtyard a few days ago, he would have lunch with Yu Tang every morning after he finished his work at hand, and then they would go shopping together, or go to watch flowers or birds, sometimes the weather was too hot , Sitting in the shade of a tree and talking about the family's short-lived days passed quickly. Now that Yu Tang has gone home, he seems to have nothing to do all of a sudden.
After lunch, Pei Yan wondered if he should find an excuse to meet Yu Tang, who knew that Yu Tang had come to him first before he moved.
He was overjoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked Ah Ming to take her to the study to talk, but turned around and told Qing Yuan: "Give Miss Yu some fruits, she likes sweet ones, you don't care about the sweet ones." .”
Qing Yuan smiled and said yes, when the fruit was washed and brought over, Yu Tang and Pei Yan were already sitting on the bamboo chair under the eaves and talking.
"What kind of pattern do you think is good to use?" Yu Tang said, "I took a few patterns collected at home, you can help me to have a look!"
Pei Yan pouted in her heart.
I don't know if this is used as an excuse? Or did something really come to him
But regardless of the former or the latter, Pei Yan took the patterns in Yu Tang's hands with a cold expression, looked at them casually, and threw them all aside.
Yu Tang was very surprised, and said, "Is it all right?"
"It's been the same pattern for hundreds of years." Pei Yan said without concealing his contempt, "I saw this pattern when I was young." Speaking of this, he had an idea.
It doesn't matter why Yu Tang came to him, as long as he can take advantage of this matter, it's all right.
"How about it," he stood up, and said, "I'll draw some patterns for you, you can take them back and discuss with your elder brother to see which one is better to use. You grind the ink."
Do you grind ink? !
Yu Tang couldn't believe what he heard.
But Pei Yan has already strode into the study.
Yu Tang had no choice but to follow and confirmed, "Where is Ah Ming? He was still here just now?"
Why is it her turn to grind ink
Pei Yan stood abruptly and turned around, Yu Tang who was following behind him almost bumped into him.
"Can you stay at home for a few more days?" Pei Yan asked.
It took Yu Tang a while to realize that Pei Yan was telling her to hurry up.
She has nothing to say.
Rolling up his sleeves, he obediently stood in front of the big book case and polished ink for Pei Yan.
Ah Ming, who went to the kitchen to serve Yu Tang with snacks, was stopped by Qing Yuan outside the study, and Qing Yuan took the snacks.
Yu Tang only polished ink for Yu Wen, but the ink ingots used by Pei Yan were heavy and astringent, and Yu Tang felt his wrists were a little sore after grinding for a while, so Pei Yan went to bring a box of paints, and wanted to paint fine brushwork, and asked She explained: "I have carefully studied the red paint in your house, and I rely on deep and shallow red to outline. I use a fine brush. You know which places should be light and which places should be deep, so it is easier to draw."
What else could Yu Tang say.
It turned out that those pigments were less easy to rub off than ink.
Yu Tang couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "What kind of ink sticks did you use? What kind of paint? Why is it so difficult to grind? It can't be inferior, right?"
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, and said: "I use all the rosin inks from the tribute, and various gemstones are added to the paint. Otherwise, how can the color be so beautiful? It will not fade after a long time."
Such a bad temper!
Yu Tang retorted dissatisfiedly: "I haven't seen it before, how do I know what these are? It's true that it's hard to grind."
"You don't know how to grind, right?" Pei Yan said coldly, "Except for you, I haven't heard anyone say it's not easy to grind."
That's because those people are all servants around you, who would dare to say such a thing.
Yu Tang felt that Pei Yan was not self-conscious, so he didn't want to do it anymore, so he called Qing Yuan in, and asked if Ah Ming was back, and she wanted to change shifts with Ah Ming.
Seeing that Pei Yan's face was going dark, Qing Yuan didn't dare to reveal Ah Ming's whereabouts, so he hurriedly brought in some snacks and said with a smile, "May I take a rest?"
Yu Tang immediately asked for a break.
Pei Yan had no choice but to watch her sitting beside her, drinking tea and eating snacks, and began to grind the paint by herself.
When Yu Tang was lazy, he became more confident in stealing.
After Pei Yan finished drawing a picture, the sky was already glowing with sunset.
Pei Yan handed the pattern to Yu Tang and told her: "Remember to come back tomorrow."
Yu Tang looked at the pattern, it was a magpie resting on a branch of plum blossom.
The plum blossoms are sparse and proud, and the magpies are lively and playful. They appear so lifelike on the paper that people can't put it down after watching them.
Yu Tang decided to collect this painting.
She thanked her with a smile, took the painting and left.
Pei Yan looked at the remaining painting utensils on the large painting table, and suddenly felt a little pitiful for being left there alone.
Yu Yuan didn't expect that Yu Tang could really ask for Pei Yan's drawing. He was amazed again by Pei Yan's painting skills, he hesitated and said, "Is this okay? Didn't you just use flowers?"
Yu Tang pointed to the branch of plum blossom, hesitantly said: "Isn't there a flower?"
She had completely forgotten about it before.
Thinking of Pei Yan's advice, he hurriedly said: "He asked me to go tomorrow, maybe there is still a pattern for us?"
Yu Yuan didn't ask any more questions, carefully pondered Pei Yan's paintings, and said: "The third master said that we should make the block according to the depth of his paintings. I have to discuss it with the master, and I don't know if it can be done."
Yu Tang was also a little worried, and Yu Yuan went to the shop overnight.
The next morning, Yu Tang also went to Pei's house very early.
The maid at the side door of Pei's mansion was no stranger to Yu Tang's visit, and when she saw Qing Yuan coming, she let Yu Tang in.
Pei Yan said: "Let me give you a pair of in and out cards!"
Yu Tang didn't think it would be such a troublesome thing until she could get married, otherwise, she might never be able to use the Pei family's match.
This time Pei Yan didn't ask Yu Tang to grind the ink for him, but instead asked Yu Tang to fan him.
Yu Tang had given up on reasoning with him, obediently took a Sichuan fan behind him and fanned him.
