Chapter 33 Only talk about money, not about feelings
Wenrou is actually very guilty. She is relying on some of her experience and blindly making this bottle. She thought that even if she doesn't succeed, she can continue to try it. Anyway, there is still a chance.
However, this time God finally favored her. After the glass bottle cooled down, it was taken out. The shiny cracks were all over the bottle, but the tentacles were smooth and flat. The color was slightly yellow-green, which looked like a pure natural gem.
"This looks good!" Pei Fangwu clapped his hands, his eyes full of light: "It's OK."
Wenrou also felt it was good, so she held it in her hand and looked it for a while, then handed it to Butcher Zhang and looked at it: "It's just a result."
"I can do it, but this thing... is so hot that it's scary." Zhang Laowu swallowed and whispered: "It's so soft that it's not easy to grasp, so I have to practice it."
There is such a bottle coming out, so there is no need to be so anxious. However, in order to make him work harder, Wen Rou didn't say anything, and just nodded and encouraged: "Come on! Today's work is also counted as wages, but I still have something to do, so let Qiangsu accompany you."
"Okay." Zhang Laowu responded, picked up the blow pipe and prepared to continue. Gentle and adjusted a lot of glass raw materials next to him, and told him to heat the rest when it was gone, and Zhang Laowu responded too.
So Wenrou took the prepared bottle and went to the room next to her with Pei Fangwu.
The bottle placed on the table was shining with light and looked so beautiful. Pei Fangwu looked at it for a long time before he replied, "I will make the ceramic base below myself."
In person, raised his eyebrows gently: "Young master can actually roast ceramics?"
"After all, this one started out, so there is no reason why it doesn't happen." Pei Fangwu chuckled, his eyes shimmering: "I don't look down on such a beautiful bottle, a base made by others."
"Young Master Pei has always had high standards and strict requirements." Wenrou praised him: "Then I feel relieved. This thing can barely fool people, go to the ceramic conference, right?"
"Yes." Pei Fangwu nodded: "It's enough to use some small means of a businessman."
The businessman's trick? He raised his eyebrows gently and looked at him curiously. Pei Fangwu's face was full of gentle smiles, and he gently tapped the glass bottle with a fan.
The news that a noble man spent more than 10,000 taels to buy eight glass beads of Pei Ji spread throughout the streets and alleys overnight. Everyone was curious about what the glass beads looked like. Those who were lucky enough to see them in Pei Ji Linglongxuan naturally began to brag about the magic of the beads.
"The transparent beads are not visible without touching them. They are placed under the sun, as crystal clear as water droplets!"
"That's right? I don't know where Pei Ji found the treasures. I have many treasures in my family, but I have never seen them."
"Those beads are the size of fingernails, and they can be sold for 1,500 taels. If they are bigger, wouldn't they be priceless?"
The word glass swept across Xingcheng and became a topic of conversation for people after dinner. Even Mrs. Xiao, who had just returned, heard the wind and asked Xiao Jingtang at the dinner table: "Did you buy that bead?"
Xiao Jingtang nodded: "What the third young master wants."
After saying this, Mrs. Xiao understood it, but she was still very curious: "What does that bead look like? Is it so magical?"
"The third young master said his mother would like it." Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips: "If it is properly inlaid, it should have a unique style on the golden crown."
Of course, all expensive things look good. Mrs. Xiao also likes this rare and popular thing, so she couldn't help but ask, "Is there any sale?"
Wenrou almost choked with a mouthful of soup, and coughed twice.
Xiao Jingtang glanced at her and frowned and said, "Is it so rude to have a meal now?"
"No, no." Put down the bowl and said gently and obediently: "I just accidentally."
"What are you doing to Rou'er even more fiercely?" Mrs. Xiao looked at him unhappily: "You have been out of the house a lot these days, right? Rou'er didn't say anything about you. Just forget it if you are not grateful, and you won't be gentler to others?"
Xiao Jingtang was silent, looked at Du Wenrou, put down his chopsticks and said to Mrs. Xiao: "Mother always feels that her son is harsh on her, so it is better to do this. The son handed over the entire account book in the backyard to her. What does the mother think?"
"Seriously?" Mrs. Xiao was overjoyed, grabbed the gentle hand with one hand, staring at Xiao Jingtang half-believingly: "Are you willing to return the identity of the mistress to Rou'er?"
"Yes." Xiao Jingtang nodded expressionlessly: "But if she can't do it well and can't be a mistress, then mother should send her back to the Du family."
With her here, how can I be a mistress? Mrs. Xiao smiled so hard that her eyes were in a crack. Just as she was about to respond, she heard a low shout from the side:
"I won't do it!"
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Xiao turned her head and looked around: "Who is talking?"
"I." Wenru raised her hand and said flatteringly, "The daughter-in-law can't do this accounting matter."
"Nothing!" Mrs. Xiao frowned and hurriedly said: "Every mistress must do the accounting. How can you say that you can't do it?!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Jingtang, then approached her and whispered: "Jingtang is disliked by you. If you don't even do the mistress's business, he wants to give up. How can he stop you from your mother? Don't be afraid, good boy, I will help you with everything."
Gentle opened his mouth and looked at Xiao Jingtang angrily.
Is this person smart? I know it's useless to force her, so I actually asked Mrs. Xiao to come forward? Beast! Shameless!
Xiao Jingtang still had a expressionless face. He picked up the soup and drank it suspiciously.
Didn’t they always force him to stuff things he didn’t like? Then let Du Wenrou taste the pain of having to accept the pain of not liking things.
Gentle soon calmed down, responded obediently to Mrs. Xiao, and asked calmly: "Does the matter of taking a concubine in the awesome place be left to the daughter-in-law to worry about?"
Although it is natural to take a concubine, it is a bit disrespectful to his wife after all. Mrs. Xiao knew about this and did not stop her, so she felt a little guilty: "If you have the energy, then you will worry about it together. If not, then let the auspicious house do it."
"I have the energy." Gentle and smirk, looking at Xiao Jingtang opposite him without a smile: "Second Young Master thinks I have the ability, then I'll worry about it."
This was like carrying ice slags, which made Xiao Jingtang shudder and frowned and looked at her: "What do you want?"
"Don't worry, Second Young Master." He pulled the corners of his mouth and said gently: "I must have done your happy event in a lively manner throughout the city."
Don’t you like to mess with her? Don’t you have to pass the blame on her? Then she has to mess with this couple that will never end up in the old bridal chamber!
There was a little chill behind her back, and Xiao Jingtang felt inexplicably that he had made a wrong decision?
But there was no room for regret. Du Wenrou had already gotten up and took the account book from the butler, and gave him a big smile.
That kind of fake, aggressive smile.
Xiao Jingtang: "..."
Lunch was to wash Mrs. Xiao, but her gentle taste was a bit good. She put chopsticks after taking a few bites. She only talked to Mrs. Xiao about interesting things on the road, and then took the account book back to the West Courtyard.
Xiao Jingtang looked at her, sued her mother, and followed her directly.
Mrs. Xiao touched her chin and looked at their backs, turned her head and asked the maid next to her: "When I was not here, what happened to these two people?"
Although the maid in her yard didn't go out much, she knew the big news and said with a complicated look: "There are so many things happening... The second young lady seems to have changed."
"Rou'er?" Mrs. Xiao frowned: "Why do I feel like a different person and suddenly I love being with Rou'er? Are you chasing me?"
It seemed as if the two had no estrangement, just a simple couple. When the wife left, the husband couldn't bear to leave and had to chase him out and take a look.
The husband, who was reluctant to let his wife pushes her on the wall and asks with a cold face: "What do you mean?"
Gentle standing against the wall, curling his lips and said, "What do you mean? Didn't the account book you have to give me? I want to take it back now?"
"I'm not talking about the account book." Xiao Jingtang said: "What do you want to do when I take a concubine?"
"It's nothing." Gentle smiled: "Since my mother has left the matter to me, I must worry about it and give you a glorious life."
"...If the concubine's pomp than marrying the wife, then you are slapping yourself in the face." Xiao Jingtang said: "I only plan to hold a banquet and treat you, but I don't plan to make a fuss all over the city."
"Did you hit me in the face?" Touched my cheek and said gentle and serious: "My face is quite thick, and I'm not afraid of being beaten."
"You..." Xiao Jingtang was frustrated: "The people I accept are all low-ranking and have no origin. Why do you push people to the forefront?"
The status is low and has no origin? Wenrou was stunned for a moment and understood: "It turns out that I am the only one in the whole yard that is a marriage of interests, and the others are all the ones you really want to marry, right?"
Xiao Jingtang chose to remain silent, and his dark eyes looked at her silently.
"It's great, I know." Wenrou reached out to him and said impatiently: "Give me two thousand taels, I'll do the matter of taking a concubine for you."
"Two thousand taels?" Xiao Jingtang said unhappily: "You said you knew it just now, how can you do a happy event of two thousand taels?"
The show of two thousand taels is almost the same as her personal partner.
"Who said that it's all for weddings?" Rolling his eyes, he looked at him gently with his waist and said, "You can choose it yourself. Two thousand taels of low-key and content concubine gifts, or a two hundred taels of high-profile concubine gift that can be known to everyone in the city?"
What I mean is that most of the two thousand taels of silver are used to buy her?
Xiao Jingtang smiled angrily: "Why are you keeping your mouth shut now and you're going to be a silver?"
"If you don't talk about money with you, will you talk about feelings?" Gentle pouted: "Your feelings are not as valuable as money."
"What did you say?" The man opposite him looked dark.
