Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Come back home
Yu Tang is a very open-minded person.
Otherwise, she would have been mad by the Lin family for a few years in the Li family.
Now that she has made the decision, she won’t think about it anymore.
Just do what they have discussed.
Master Qian said that if he wanted to restore the paintings, he had to make fakes for them, copying three paintings, and even if they couldn’t deliver the goods for a while, he added thirty taels of silver.
Yu Wen made a decisive decision and quietly borrowed thirty taels of silver from Tong Er’s shopkeeper. After an appointment to return to Lin’an, he would pay it back. He was afraid that Tong Er’s shopkeeper would tell the matter and make others doubt their purpose of going to Hangzhou. Yu Wen repeatedly asked Tong Er. The shopkeeper kept it secret and said: “I’m a talent anyway, it’s too embarrassing to say this. You can help me round the scene.”
In fact, he was afraid that someone would doubt his purpose of coming to Hangzhou.
There are too many disillusioned scholars, and even some officials are not well-off. The shopkeeper Tong Er looked at it a lot and smiled: “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this.” Then he asked Yu Wen to write an IOU and hid it in the storeroom of the pawnshop: “This place is more reliable than the storeroom of the Hangzhou City Government Office. , Don’t worry!”
If Yu Wen didn’t believe Pei’s pawnshop, he wouldn’t come here to borrow money.
He thanked Tong Er’s shopkeeper well and then returned to the inn.
Yu Tang had nothing to do in the inn, and used these two days not only to make a begonia flower head flower for the Chen family, but also a plum flower head flower for the inn’s proprietress.
The lady boss was very happy after receiving it, and she praised her good work on the head flower, and said: “I haven’t seen such a delicate thing for many years. Do you want to earn some money from this? If you are interested, I can help you ask how much money the pollen shop in Cai’s family spends? After you return to Lin’an, you can bring the prepared header to the shopkeeper Tong Da of Pei’s pawnshop, and I will sell it to Cai’s house for you. In the pollen shop.”
Yu Tang has never thought of making money from this for two lifetimes. She inevitably hesitated, and said: “Is the first flower I made really so good? Are other pollen shops willing to collect it? I don’t know how many flowers I can make in a month. , I feel a little unsure.”
The lady boss smiled and said: “If you really want to do this business, go back and think carefully, to see how much you can do in a month, and how much money you will spend? It will not be too late to come to me when you know what to do. I am always ready anyway. It’s all here, you can find me as long as you come.”
Yu Tang thanked and thanked him, and made seven or eight flower heads in a row during the few days of idle time. It just so happened that Yu Yuan came back to change clothes, and she called Yu Yuan to ask him to help her calculate the cost.
This is really not knowing, I was shocked.
For these seven or eight head flowers, if you spend less than ten wen, you will have at least thirty wen each, and you have made a lot of money.
Yu Yuan thoughtfully, discussed with Yu Tang: “How do you think we do this business?”
Occasionally, it is okay to make a few head flowers to supplement the household in idle time, but Yu Tang has never thought about this business for a long time. But she will support everything Yu Yuan wants to do.
“Then brother, go and inquire about the market!” Yu Tang said.
Yu Yuan thought for a while, and finally sighed, with a bitter smile on his face: “Forget it! Daddy wants to revitalize our lacquer shop.”
Yu Tang has never visited Hangzhou like this before, and always thinks the shop at home is quite good. Now that I have visited Hangzhou City, I feel that Lin’an is a little small, and I understand why Yu Yuan is a little unsafe. But there are some roads, Yu Yuan has to go by himself, feel by himself, choose by himself, and fight for by himself.
She smiled, and asked about Master Qian’s side: “Have you been there for the past few days, have you been going well?”
“Successful!” Yu Yuan said, “Master Qian’s craftsmanship still has nothing to say.”
When he got the work back, everyone looked left and right, but they didn’t see any difference from the original picture. Yu Wen tut was amazed and wanted to know Master Qian, but Master Qian was very straightforwardly rejected. Yu Wen was very disappointed, but knew that such a thing could not be forced, packed his luggage and prepared to return to Lin’an.
Yu Tang asked Yu Yuan to accompany her to the alley selling gouache headwear, and bought some materials and tools for making head flowers. Before leaving for Lin’an, Yu Wen took them to thank Pei Yan.
But Pei Yan and Zhou Zhuangyuan went to Huai’an.
According to Tong Er’s shopkeeper, Zhou Zhuangyuan’s nephew was transferred to Huai’an prefect, and Zhou Zhuangyuan pulled Pei Yan over.
Yu Wen was very envious, and said: “Reading ten thousand books, traveling ten thousand miles. I don’t know one day I can do this.”
Yu Tang doesn’t want Yu Wen to go far.
She bluntly said: “That’s because the third master of the Pei family and Zhou Zhuangyuan have acquaintances. You should stay with me and mom at home!”
Yu Wen laughed haha, touched her daughter’s soft blue silk, and smiled: “Don’t worry, I am envious. Let me leave you and your mom to go out to play. Three or four days are okay, but it won’t work for a long time. Up.”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
They thanked the owner and the proprietress of the inn, and boarded the boat at the small pier not far from Pei’s pawnshop.
The wind is going well, but two hours later, the Tiaoxi Pier is in sight.
Pei’s pawnshop’s big mantle is still swaying in the wind, and the dock is still so lively.
Yu Tang seemed to have been away for a year and a half, and even the noise became cordial.
She jumped off the boat board.
The shopkeeper Tong shouted at her from a distance: “Slow down, slow down, be careful of falling into the water.”
Yu Tang grinned and stepped forward to salute the treasurer Tong.
The shopkeeper Tong came forward with a smile and greeted Yu Wen: “Adi said you are coming back today. I was thinking about why you haven’t arrived yet. I didn’t expect you to arrive. How about the trip to Hangzhou?”
“Very good!” Yu Wen and the treasurer Tong were side by side, walking forward, and thanking him at the same time, “If it weren’t for Ling brother, our girl would have suffered.” I told the treasurer Tong about the doctor’s appointment. .
Yu Tang said angrily next to him: “Daddy, you can just talk to the shopkeeper Tong, you can’t talk to the second person anymore.”
The shopkeeper Yu Wen and Tong Da were stunned, and then laughed loudly and said: “The little girl is shy. We will definitely not talk about it in the future, let’s not talk about it.”
The shopkeeper Tong invited Yu Wen to drink tea in the shop and rest.
Yu Wen thought about the Chen family at home, and politely refused.
Yu Tang gave a few of the first flowers he made to the female relatives of Tong’s family.
Both Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Tong liked it very much when they saw it. They knew that Yu Tang made them, and they took out veils or brocade stockings in return. They also told Yu Tang to come over with Chen when they were okay.
Yu Tang responded with a smile.
After returning home, he generously began to deliver the things I made
The Chen family, Mrs. Chen, Shuang Tao, Ma Xiuniang, Mrs. Ma… the family members of Mrs. Wu’s house next door also gave a box.
Everyone praised Yu Tang’s dexterity, only Chen asked Yu Tang suspiciously: “You really did this? Didn’t you buy it?”
Yu Tang made one for Chen on the spot.
The Chen was very surprised, hugging Yu Tang with a smile: “You kid, I didn’t expect to have such a craft. When did I learn it? Why don’t I know?”
Yu Tang didn’t tell Chen.
In the evening, when Chen and Yu Wen whispered, they blamed themselves, saying: “Although I am ill, I don’t have the energy to take care of Atang everywhere, but I’m still too negligent with her. Do not know at all.”
But Yu Wen thought about the map and responded vaguely, saying: “Go to sleep! Don’t worry about it. Atang has an idea now, and she can support the court in the future, maybe we still have it. I can really enjoy her blessing.”
