Chapter 11
Chapter 11 Passed away
After ten days, Yu Bo and Yu Yuan returned from Jiangxi.
Yu Wen was painting, and he was surprised when he heard the news: “Why did they come back so soon? Isn’t things going well?”
It will take more than two months to take a boat from here to Nanchang Mansion in Jiangxi.
Yu Tang was contrary to what Yu Wen thought.
If things don’t go well, it will take longer. If things go well, they will come back early.
“Uncle’s house is next door,” Yu Tang pursed his lips and said with a smile, “How about I help you go over and ask?”
Chen accompanies Yu Tang in sewing. She smiled and scolded her daughter: “I don’t think you want to ask your father for letters, do you want to be lazy?”
Yu Tang in the previous life missed his relatives, so many nights he cried and wet his pillow. Now that time can go back, let her embrace her parents, she can’t wait to plate a golden body on the bodhisattva, how can she worry about her mother and embarrass her father like the ignorant herself before?
In the past ten days, she honestly did embroidery work at home, and also painted a few popular flowers in later generations, which made Chen feel that her daughter had undergone this lesson and changed her face, and was very pleased.
“Mum Mom knows me best.” She entertained her in colorful clothes, rubbing her shoulders on Chen’s shoulder, and said, “Mum Mom, you let me go out to get some breath! I haven’t been out for several days.”
The Chen family loves her daughter the most. In addition, after using Yang Douxing’s medicine these days, she feels that her chest is much more relaxed and her energy is full. She feels that even if her daughter is in trouble, it won’t be enough for Yu Wen to clean up the mess by herself, and smile : “Okay! You and your father will go to your uncle’s house and see.”
Yu Tang cheered.
But Yu Bo and Yu Yuan came together.
Everyone has seen each other, sat down under the canopy in the courtyard, double peaches served tea.
Yu Bo talked about the trip to Jiangxi this time: “Good luck! When we first entered Jiangxi, we met a merchant in Guangzhou who sold lacquerware and was going to Ningbo to try our luck. I saw that he received a lot of goods, and He said for a long time, and he divided half of the goods to us. The Huang shopkeeper who happened to be ordering at our house does not matter what goods they are, as long as they can catch up with the fleet and go to sea. The business is negotiated. However, our family is always the same. I broke my promise. I promised to pay the treasurer Huang fifty taels…”
“It should be, it should be.” Yu Wen said hurriedly: “This silver brother can be the master.”
Yu’s lacquer shop is connected together. The business is done together, and the money and goods are also paid out. Dividends are only distributed at the end of the year.
There is no need to pay so much money, Yu Tang’s family is very happy.
Yu Wen left Yu Bo and Yu Yuan for dinner.
Yu Bo refused, saying: “I have to rush to Pei’s house. I heard that Pei’s is going to rebuild Changxing Street. I have to inquire.”
Yu Wen was quite surprised, and said: “Is this news reliable? I haven’t heard of it in Lin’an City. Why did my elder brother know when he just came back?”
Yu Bo smiled and said: “You only read sages and sage books. Even if others tell you about these merchants, you won’t pay attention to it. How can you compare to me? Since I was a child, I have been running our lacquer shop with my father.”
Yu Wen said: “Why did the Pei family suddenly think of rebuilding Changxing Street?”
Yu Bo said: “It seems to be the meaning of the prefect. I specially invited the second master of the Pei family to discuss it. This matter came out.”
Yu Tang listened beside him, feeling the same as his previous life. The Pei family agreed to rebuild Changxing Street, but they also proposed that if the shops that did not belong to the Pei family could not afford the money, the Pei family could buy their foundation.
In her previous life, when she didn’t know the strangeness of this, she felt that the Pei family was doing good deeds. Later, she wanted to understand that she had scolded Pei family secretly. In this life, she knows the strangeness, but has already received the great favor of the Pei family…
Yu Tang sighed in his heart.
He went back to the room to do needlework without seeing the heart.
The Yu brothers talked about this in the study.
Yu Wen suggested that each of the two families would sell a foundation to the Pei family, and the Pei family would help them rebuild the pavement. In this way, although the Yu family’s assets were reduced by half, they still kept the other half.
Yu Bo was worried that the Pei family would not agree, and said: “Changxing Street is mostly Pei’s shops. They can hang us out, and we will have to sell all the foundations to their family.”
Yu Wen was eager to try: “Brother looks at me!”
Since he knew that what Lu Xin had sold him was a counterfeit but he didn’t see it, he had admired the treasurer Tong’s appreciating ability. Shopkeeper Tong is already half a close friend.
Yu Wen felt that he could follow the path of Tong’s shopkeeper.
Everyone in Lin’an City knows that the treasurer Tong family has helped Pei family manage the pawnshop for generations. Now there are seven or eight generations of people in the Pei family. They are decent and talkative old people in the Pei family.
Yu Bo is not as optimistic as Yu Wen.
If the shopkeeper Tong is a good talker and takes everything to Pei’s house, how can it be today?
It’s just that Yu Wen was excited, and he was not good at splashing cold water. He simply encouraged his younger brother a few words, which led Yu Yuan to work in the shop.
Yu Wen had lunch, changed his clothes and went out.
When he came back at night, he told his wife and daughter with joy: “The shopkeeper Tong is really nice. He promised to help our family ask questions.”
Chen’s happily.
Yu Tang was a little startled.
Yu Wen took out the “Songxi Fishing Hidden Picture” and turned it on under the light. While watching it, Yu Tang sighed with emotion: “So, you can’t care too much about gains and losses. You see, I bought a fake, but It also allowed me to make a friend.”
Yu Tang curled his lips.
If it weren’t for her to find a way to verify the authenticity of this painting, how could their family deal with the shopkeeper Tong. However, as his father said, the treasurer Tong is really nice.
Yu Tang remembered the past life again.
According to Tong’s shopkeeper, this painting was exactly peeled off from the original painting, that is to say, there is no problem with those inheritance seals. Where did the painting that fell into her hands in the previous life come from? Is it true or false?
Yu Tang wanted to find an opportunity to consult the shopkeeper Tong, but before she found the opportunity, Yu Wen happily told Chen and Yu Tang: “Our shop is saved!”
“What’s going on?” Chen Shi put down the needle and thread in his hand and poured a cup of tea for Yu Wen himself.
Yu Wen drank tea three times, and said with joy: “The shopkeeper Tong replied to me, saying that Mr. Pei’s chief executive did not agree to it. He felt that the two foundations were not enough to rebuild the two shops, so the shopkeeper Tong thought about the previous ones. Wasn’t our family cheated of money in the days? I want to tell our family a lot of money, so that we can add more money. The chief executive said that this precedent cannot be set. Otherwise, the people who burnt the shop will all learn the same way. What to do. Who knows that the two of them are talking about this. The third master of the Pei family passed by and heard it, so he agreed to the matter. He also let out the words, all the people who have burned the shop, the Pei family can help to make the shop first. When it is built, the Pei family will also advance the money spent in advance, and repay it in five or ten years instalments without interest.”
“Ah!” Yu Tang was stunned.
In this way, all the people whose shops were burnt can tide over the difficulties smoothly.
“The Pei family is really the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!” Chen’s hands clasped his hands together, again and again toward the direction of Pei’s residence.
This is completely different from the previous life.
Is it because of her rebirth?
Then when the Li family came to propose a marriage, wouldn’t she have to do nothing, their family would refuse the marriage?
Doesn’t she have to deal with the Li family anymore?
Their family was planning to recruit her!
When Yu Tang thinks about this, he feels refreshed.
The Chen said with joy, “Then we don’t have to sell foundations anymore?”
“I’m afraid it won’t work!” Yu Wen touched his head awkwardly, and said, “Our family has already proposed to the Pei family to sell the foundation before. The Pei family is compassionate and willing to lend money to everyone. How can we lose faith in Pei? Where’s the family!”
Chen’s expression darkened, and he sighed in disappointment.
Yu Wen comforted the Chen family: “This is already very good. You have to think like this. If our family hadn’t asked the treasurer Tong to talk about it, how could this matter be known to the third master of the Pei family? The third master of the Pei family did not speak, so what about the Pei family? I will lend money to those who have burned the shop free of charge. Speaking of which, our family has also done a good deed indirectly.”
The Chen laughed, and groaned: “Just your heart is wide.”
Yu Wen laughed.
After receiving the news, Yu Bo also thought that the foundation of his shop didn’t need to be sold. He didn’t know the whole story until he came to discuss it with Yu Wen. He couldn’t laugh or cry, but thought of going together with Yu Wen, and his heart was very big. Our family does not have this fate.”
Both the Yu brothers have made a decision, and the others can hardly say anything.
After a few days, the Pei family negotiated with the people who burned the shop on how to rebuild the shop, and the old man of the Pei family suddenly passed away.
“It’s impossible!” Yu Wen, who got the news in the middle of the night, stood in the courtyard wearing clothes, listening to a louder than one worm cry, holding Chen’s hand and his face was shocked, “I asked when I went to Pei’s house yesterday. After the old lady, he said that the old lady is fine, how could he just leave like this?”
Chen’s heart was full of grief, and said: “Will there be any sudden illness? The old lady of the Pei family has passed the ears of the year, right?”
“But it’s too sudden.” Yu Wen still couldn’t believe it, and told Ah Tiao, “You go to explore again. Did you make a mistake?”
Asha wiped his tears, and choked with sobs: “I have already asked. Pei’s family knocked on the cloud board, and they have already started reporting funerals to each family. Zhaoming Temple and Qingxuguan have got the news, and the abbots of the two families have already rushed away. Come here. The news will not be wrong!”
Yu Tang was leaning against the door, only feeling that the night dew was heavy, and his heart and lungs were cold.
She has been very concerned about the body of the Pei family. Everyone said that the Pei family’s grandfather is fine. Why does the Pei family’s grandfather still pass away?
Yu Tang regretted it very much.
She shouldn’t just listen to others, she should take a look in person.
The Pei family helped their family so much, but she didn’t take the initiative to help the Pei family.
Yu Tang walked over and took her mother’s arm and said, “Mum, are you going to incense the Pei’s grandfather at that time? Can you take me there?”
