Daughter families like Yu's family of lacquerware masters usually marry a well-matched craftsman, and then continue to circle in this circle. Few people can jump out of this circle.
The girl was ecstatic when she heard Pei Yan ask her.
If you can win the favor of the Pei family, even if you marry a craftsman in the future, you can find a way to work as an errand for the Pei family, or borrow the Dongfeng of the Pei family to open a shop by yourself, and at worst, you can still have a little bit of face in the shop. Life will be much easier.
"The villain's name is Lanhua," the little girl replied, pulling the dull older sister beside her, and said, "This is my older sister, her name is Meihua."
Pei Yan nodded, didn't say anything more, called Yu's pattern-making master over, and asked about pattern-making.
The pattern-making master was in his thirties, hired by the Yu family from Jiangxi. He was short and timid, but when he talked about pattern-making, his eyes were bright and he was very confident. I am very confident in my craftsmanship: "We made the plates according to the paintings brought by Shaodong's house. The red lacquer is different from other lacquerware crafts. Yin is yang, and yang is yin. It needs to be carved layer by layer."
In other words, it is not important to make a pattern, what is important is the craftsmanship of the master.
Pei Yan asked him: "Then how much time do you think you need for a thousand boxes?"
The master said very seriously: "If I do it alone, it will take about four or five months, but after summer, the weather turns cold, and the paint will not dry as fast as it is now. I'm afraid it will take four or five months." Okay. I'll take my apprentice with me, and it can save about a month."
Pei Yan is going to see him make a piece of lacquerware.
The master hesitated.
Pei Yan sneered and said, "Your master is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
The master was also very alert, and hurriedly said: "Some people can't get the paint on, and their faces will swell when they smell it. I'm afraid that if you feel uncomfortable, then I will die to blame."
Pei Yan stood up with a stern look: "You lead the way."
The master didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly walked ahead.
But Pei Yan grabbed Yu Tang who was about to follow him: "Stay here, help me peel some lotus seed rice, chill it in ice, and eat it when I come back."
Yu Tang's eyes were bright, he really liked his duplicity, and he said with a smile on his face: "I grew up in a lacquer shop, if I couldn't get lacquer, I would have stopped coming. Don't worry. It's you, Be careful, if you feel uncomfortable, don't try your best."
Pei Yan nodded, thought for a while, and asked Yu Yuan to find a handkerchief for Yu Tang to cover his nose: "The smell is really bad, so don't be careless."
Knowing that Pei Yan had good intentions, Yu Tang obediently covered his nose with a handkerchief, and then went to the back workshop with Pei Yan.
Looking at Pei Yan and Yu Tang's appearance, Yu Yuan smiled until his eyes narrowed.
The master demonstrated the process of picking red lacquer to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan didn't say anything, left the workshop with Yu Tang, and then sent Yu Tang home: "I'll think about this matter carefully, and I'll tell you when I think it over. Tomorrow there will be a dragon boat race at Tiaoxitang, everyone rest early Already, let’s have a good time tomorrow.”
Originally, Yu Yuan only wanted Yu Tang to give him advice, and he didn't expect Yu Tang to come to the workshop. Hearing what Pei Yan said, he naturally claimed it was good and urged Yu Tang to go back quickly.
Yu Tang trusted Pei Yan very much. Since Pei Yan said that she didn't have any good ideas at the moment, she put the matter behind her, thinking that with Pei Yan's intelligence, he would definitely come up with a good solution. So he didn't insist, and walked out of the shop through the back door with Pei Yan.
Pei Yan discussed with her: "I think the two little girls who poured tea for us today are pretty good. If they want, you can take them with you. It's better than buying them from outside - their father and brother are all helping your family. If they serve by your side, their family probably won't return to Jiangxi."
Yu Tang had guessed when Pei Yan asked the names of the two little girls, but now that Pei Yan had spoken, she was even more sure, and said with a smile, "I'll go back and ask."
Pei Yan said "Yes" in satisfaction, and sent Yu Tang to Qingzhu Lane.
It's just that when they walked to the intersection, they found that there was an inn at the intersection that was surrounded by people on the third floor and the third floor outside.
Shuang Tao couldn't help but look a few more times, and said to Yu Tang: "Miss, those who came to visit relatives from other places were kicked out of the inn."
Most of the inns in Lin'an are run by the Pei family.
Pei Yan couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, and told Ah Ming: "Go and have a look."
Ah Ming ran over.
Yu Chang was a little worried.
She was afraid that the reputation of the Pei family would be damaged.
"How about we wait here for a while." Yu Tang said, "I'm not in a hurry to go back right now."
If Pei Yan personally came forward to appease, no matter whose fault it was, this matter would pass quickly.
Pei Yan was still a little hesitant, but Yu Tang said decisively: "It's just a small matter, let alone a small loss. Why don't you go and have a look? I'll wait for you here."
He just wanted to spend more time with Yu Tang, and after listening and thinking for a while, he asked someone to guard Yu Tang's sedan chair and went to the inn by himself.
Yu Tang strained his ears to listen.
After a while, the voice from the inn stopped, and after waiting for about a cup of tea, Pei Yan turned back and said: "I went to Fujian from Shandong to visit my relatives. I took the wrong road and arrived at Lin'an. My mother was ill. , it was tuberculosis, the shopkeeper asked them to live in a farm of the Pei family outside the city for a few days, the family was afraid of being kicked out and refused to leave, so they yelled at the door of the inn. I asked them to take them to the farm."
Pei Yan is not a cold hearted person, since he brought people to the farm, he will definitely find a way to help them heal their illnesses.
Yu Tang put this matter to the back of his mind, and started rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find clothes and jewelry when he got home, planning to quietly go to Tiaoxitang with Pei Yan tomorrow.
Fortunately, Mrs. Chen was always sick in the past. Although she got better in the past two years, Yu Wen didn't let her go out very much, let alone the hot weather like the Dragon Boat Festival. In the private room of the restaurant by the Tiaoxi River, Mrs. Chen is going to take Mrs. Chen out for an outing. Mrs. Chen also prepares her own clothes carefully, and doesn't have much energy to manage Yu Tang. When they arrive at the restaurant, they meet people from the Wei family. It was so lively that when Yu Tang slipped away, only Wei Xiaochuan found out and followed him.
"What are you following me for?" Yu Tang stood on tiptoe and saw that Pei Yan on the viewing platform had disappeared. He was afraid that he would wait for himself to be exposed to the sun, so he asked Wei Xiaochuan anxiously, "I have an appointment with someone." Go play, don't sell me out."
"How could it be!" Wei Xiaochuan's eyes rolled straight, making people unbelievable, "I want to play too, sister take me!"
Yu Tang was more cunning than him, so he called several cousins from the Wu family who were under ten years old to come over, gave them a handful of change, and told them with a smile: "If you want to buy snacks later, let this brother Running errands for you."
Immediately, the cousin of the Wu family hugged Wei Xiaochuan's thigh and yelled to eat melon seeds.
Wei Xiaochuan blushed with anger, and said, "Are there no melon seeds in the private room? Why do you have to go outside to buy them?"
The little girl replied confidently: "The melon seeds in Yajian are the same as the ones at home. There are candy-coated melon seeds outside. We want to eat the candy-coated melon seeds." She also threatened Wei Xiaochuan, "If brother doesn't buy for us, we will buy them for you." Go tell Mrs. Wei that you ignore us."
Wei Xiaochuan stomped his feet, looking for Yu Tang, but Yu Tang had disappeared, and at a glance, there were all moving heads.
He nodded the little girl's forehead and said, "If something happens to sister Yu, how do you explain it?"
The little girl has a round face and snow-white skin, like a child painted on New Year's paintings during the Chinese New Year. She hummed, and said, "No way! Sister Yu has Miki and Shuangtao by her side, so she won't lose it!"
Wei Xiaochuan could only crane his neck to look around, wondering who Yu Tang was going to see.
It took Yu Tang a long time to squeeze out of the crowd, and arrived under the big tree that he had made an appointment with Pei Yan.
Qing Yuan was already waiting there.
Seeing Yu Tang, she breathed a sigh of relief, rushed forward to greet her, asked her to get into a mule cart, and said: "The third master said that there are many people, and I am afraid of encountering flower shooting parties, so it is safer to take a car. "
The Lord still sees fewer people.
Yu Tang had no objection and got into the car.
It's just that she squeezed out from the crowd, sweating all over her body, Qing Yuan waited and wiped the sweat, and opened the car window to let in the air, but when she raised her eyes, she accidentally saw a mule cart passing them.
Yu Tang's heart was beating wildly, and he was a little out of breath.
She grabbed Qing Yuan's hand and said in a hurry: "Send someone to take a look, the mule cart that passed us seems to be the eleventh master of the Peng family."
What Qing Yuan heard was that Peng Shiyi had scared Yu Tang into unconsciousness at the lecture at Zhaoming Temple.
She hurriedly reported to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan felt that Peng Shixi would hurt Yu Tang.
He looked tense, and rode over on his horse.
Fortunately, everyone went to watch the dragon boat race, and Pei Yan's horse galloped all the way without hindrance, but within a cup of tea, he met Yu Tang.
"Did you see it clearly?" Before he had time to experience the joy of meeting, Pei Yan became worried, and asked solemnly, "Is it Peng Shishi?"
"It seems to be him!" But after a quick glance, Yu Tang was not sure, she said, "Is the Li family's case not over yet?"
If it was him, what would he do here
Pei Yan didn't think too much, and immediately ordered the servants beside him to follow, and then said to Yu Tang: "Don't worry about this matter, I will find a way to figure it out." Then he felt that Yu Tang was too dangerous.
What if Peng Shiyi came for Yu Tang like in Yu Tang's dream
Pei Yan immediately said: "A Tang, I will take you to Tiaoxitang another day. Now, go to my mother's place. There are many people around her, and my mother is protecting you. You will be fine. I'll touch it right away." Peng Shiyi."
Yu Tang knew her own affairs, she felt that she might not be in any danger in this life, and she was not very flustered. It can be seen that Pei Yan is going to meet Peng Shiyi, and thinking that Zhao Zhen and the others are not in Lin'an, she panics a little, and pulls Pei Yan's sleeve to prevent him from leaving: "Let's stop calmly, if he doesn't come to us , let's not go to them."
