Du Xinglao did not meet Song Yuyan every time he went to visit, not because she really avoided seeing her, but because she was really busy. Du Xinglao didn't choose a date for the visit in advance, so it's no wonder she didn't arrange a meeting time.

Du Xiaoniang was more careful than Du Xing, and she specially asked people to come to her door with invitation cards, so Song Yuyan chose a free day to see her.

Although Tang Zhi was guarding against Song Yuyan being tricked, he didn't stop the two from meeting.It's just that on the day Miss Du visited, she didn't go out either, but stayed at home.

After Miss Du came, she didn't immediately talk about inviting Song Yuyan to join the bamboo carving business, but first chatted with her about the future development of bamboo carving.

She brought up the topic in the right direction. Song Yuyan deliberately refused to join the bamboo carving business, but because the other party didn't take the initiative to mention it, she had to follow her words.It happened that Song Yuyan was also very concerned about the future development direction of bamboo carving, so the rhythm of the conversation was slowly controlled by Miss Du.

Tang Zhi didn't notice it at first, and then he came back to it slowly, thinking that Miss Du must have concluded that although she didn't want to make profits from bamboo carvings based on Song Yuyan's speech and her love for bamboo carvings at the discussion meeting that day, But it is sincerely hope that bamboo carving can be developed.

"At the end of the day, creative inspiration doesn't come out of doing one thing repeatedly for many years, but it should strengthen the cultural foundation of the sculptor and communicate more. Only by broadening your horizons can you change your thinking." Song Yuyan finished, He added, "This is what my teacher taught me."

Miss Du asked: "I don't know who the honored master is?"

Song Yuyan smiled slightly: "My teacher is not here."

Miss Du didn't ask, because before Song Yuyan appeared, the sculpture shop had never heard of such an amazing and talented bamboo carving master, so she thought that he was either a hermit or not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.As far as she knew, Song Yuyan had never been out of Mingzhou, so the former was more likely.

Ordinary hermits don't even give face to the government's invitation, so she didn't plan to start with Song Yuyan's teacher.

"Confucian sage taught and educated without discrimination, so he had three thousand disciples. Knowledge and knowledge are passed down from generation to generation. It's just that there are many sculptors in the world, but not many have such techniques and skills. If you respect a teacher or you can If you are a sage who learns from Confucius and recruits a lot of disciples, the bamboo carvings will be full of blooming flowers just around the corner, right?"

Song Yuyan admired Miss Du for being able to bring up such a big truth, she said: "The recording party is only afraid that they have intentions but are powerless."

Miss Du sighed, and had no choice but to blackmail Song Yuyan by asking the magistrate of Mingzhou to hand in her bamboo carving as a tribute.

Tang Zhi also saw that the conversation between the two had broken down, and Miss Du started playing tricks.She said: "So what about the government? We don't want to give it, so how can he force us?"

Miss Du and Song Yuyan both looked at her. The former was slightly surprised because of Tang Zhi's courage; the latter was a little worried because Song Yuyan didn't know whether the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was as easy-going as Song Renzong.

Because of Tang Zhi's speech, Miss Du didn't know where to start for a while. After thinking about it, she couldn't help laughing, and said, "I didn't expect Ling Zheng to be so courageous and upright. Just now I also It was just a joke with the two of you."

Song Yuyan: "..."

Your threatening tone really doesn't sound like you're joking.

Miss Du further explained: "If you want Zhizhou to hand over bamboo carvings as tributes, you must make bamboo carvings in Mingzhou a more famous craft than other places, and this cannot be done by relying on the bamboo carvings of Lufang alone. If the name of Lu Fang gets to the ears of officials, there is only a possibility of Lu Fang being recruited into Wensi Academy."

Wensiyuan is in charge of all kinds of manual work. It has 42 works, such as jade work, tooth work, wood carving, etc. Bamboo and wood carvings are all wood carvings, just because bamboo carvings are worthless in the eyes of the world, and have no appreciation value. Therefore, there is no independent workshop in Wensiyuan.

The possibility of being recruited to become an official is zero, so although there is a chance to be favored by the emperor after entering, the background is only a craftsman after all.Many craftsmen know that this is the only way out, so they don't care about that.

Miss Du said again: "I don't want Lufang's craftsmanship to be appreciated only by dignitaries in the future, so I'm here to make a deal with you."

"Are you threatening us?" Tang Zhi frowned, feeling very dissatisfied in his heart.

Miss Du said: "Miss Tang misunderstood me, and I didn't mean to threaten. Even if Song Lufang refused to do business with me, I would not use any tricks to make him have the possibility of being recruited into Wensi Academy. After all Our Du family actually doesn't have that much ability. It's just that anyone is curious about a particularly outstanding person or thing, so when it comes to bamboo carving, everyone only knows Song Lufang, so everyone will be curious about Song Lufang..."

Song Yuyan pondered for a while, what Miss Du said made some sense, and it wasn't completely threatening her.

Tang Zhi also had no words, because she was also thinking about this possibility.

"Then what business does Miss Du want to do?"

"Join the bamboo carving company, but the bamboo carving company will not interfere with your bamboo carving creation and trade, and will not charge you any fees, as long as you occasionally participate in the bamboo carving company's conference, give advice to other bamboo carving craftsmen, and have issues related to the bamboo carving company. Help with matters of reputation, life and death. In contrast, the Bamboo Carving Guild will give you some... Shuxiu."

Miss Du also knows that even if Song Yuyan gives advice, it is rare for those craftsmen to break through the limitations of their own abilities, so her purpose of doing this is actually to hope that the bamboo carving industry will get more and more attention. There will be more talents who are more and more interested, and it may attract a group of people who have unique insights into art to start contacting bamboo carving. In this way, bamboo carving can be vigorously developed.

Song Yuyan pondered for a while, isn't this the honorary member of the guild in the literary and art circles!That is, a title that does not hold an actual position.

Miss Du glanced at Tang Zhi, and suddenly said, "Miss Tang is really... a husband protector!"

The subtext is, "You have been guarding your husband-in-law every step of the way today, and the smell of vinegar is so strong that the house is full."

Tang Zhi and Song Yuyan understood.

Tang Zhi: No, I'm just worried that she was bitten by a snake.

Song Yuyan looked at Tang Zhi with a bright smile, and felt sweet in her heart: Oh, it seems that I still have the charm of climbing walls that Azhi should worry about!

Miss Du was poured another pot of sour vinegar by them. She knew that Song Yuyan would not be able to give an answer for a while, so she left first.

As soon as she left, Tang Zhi said to Song Yuyan seriously: "I completely believe that Ah Yao can handle her alone, but I have nothing to do, so I just stopped by to listen to what she wanted to say."

Tang Zhi was worried that Song Yuyan would be provoked by Miss Du's words, thinking that she had no confidence in Song Yuyan's ability.

Song Yuyan: "When did my lady learn from Sun'er's insincere words? But, even so, I still like it very much!"

Tang Zhi: "???"

She felt that Song Yuyan might have misunderstood something, but seeing her happy face, she swallowed her explanation... Forget it, this person is not so easily provoked by others.

After Song Yuyan understood the operation mode of the bamboo carving shop, he also asked Tang Haogen to help analyze whether there were any traps in it.Tang Haogen said that the bamboo carving firm is not an official institution, so it has no effect on her social status. In other words, she will not become a craftsman just because she joined the bamboo carving firm.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Song Yuyan finally agreed to Miss Du's proposal.Tang Ye also received an invitation from Mrs. Du. This time, she did not rely on other people's judgment, but joined the bamboo carving business on her own.

Tang Zhi sighed after learning about it: "Xiao Ye has grown up too!"

Back then, Tang Ye was shy and introverted. Even if he went to the vegetable garden with her, he was only responsible for picking vegetables and did not dare to bargain with others.In the blink of an eye, she can make decisions for herself!

Chen Caiqi, who was holding the child by her side, was afraid that Tang Zhi would start thinking about Tang Ye's marriage, and said, "I'll only be 17 next year, so young!"

Tang Zhi: "..."

She remembered that when she was 17 years old, she was still a little girl in Song Yuyan's eyes, so she had no doubts about her sister-in-law's attitude.

"By the way, Ah Zhi, you and Song Dalang have been married for half a year, is there any movement in your stomach?"

It is inevitable that sisters-in-law will talk about these topics in the chat. Tang Zhi was asked once by Aunt Lie who came to visit, and later he was cared by Mrs. Lu and others, so he has long been immune to this question.

She said: "Not yet, Ah Yao said to let nature take its course. Even Master Jingjue of Bao'en Yuan said that all of this is determined by God, and there is no need to keep it in mind."

Naturally, she was talking nonsense. After all, although Jingjue could see the golden light on Song Yuyan's body, he couldn't tell fortunes.

But the effect of these words is very good. Chen Caiqi is a pilgrim and fan of Bao'en Yuan, and he also knows that Song Yuyan has contacts with Zhili, so it seems that it is not very strange that Jingjue would say these words to Tang Zhi.

Fortunately, Chen Caiqi will not go to Jingjue to check. If Jingjue finds out, he will definitely feel that he is a bit innocent for being blamed.

_____

After Song Yuyan and Tang Ye joined the bamboo carving guild, the guild received much more attention than before, and Tang Ye, as the only female bamboo carver in the guild, naturally received a lot of attention.

There are not no female craftsmen in the handicraft industry. For example, Wuyue once had a very famous carpenter. Yu Hao, who later became a master craftsman in the Zhou Dynasty, had a daughter who inherited his mantle as a female craftsman.

Duliao craftsmen are officials in charge of architectural design and carpentry, and can be regarded as the highest honor and end point of a craftsman.Yu Hao compiled a famous "Wood Classic". Of course, some people in later generations believed that it was written by his daughter, but the status of women is lower, so the book is crowned on his father's head.

No matter who compiled the "Wood Classic", it is indisputable that Yu Hao's daughter is proficient in carpentry.

Miss Du boldly recruited Tang Ye into the bamboo carving shop, and Tang Ye also boldly accepted. Although this aroused heated discussions in a small area, no one cared about these nosy matters. After all, there was no industry rule that stipulated that women could not Join a guild.

On the contrary, many people came to the bamboo carving shop with curiosity to inquire about Tang Ye's bamboo carvings, which can be regarded as adding a little fame to Tang Ye's name of "Green Return".

Song Yuyan fulfilled his promise, and occasionally communicated with the craftsmen of the bamboo carving guild. They also intentionally imitated Song Yuyan's style. Although they lacked some spirituality, the improvement of their techniques also made their bamboo carvings more popular than before.

Those landlords who add screens and bamboo chairs to their homes like to ask someone to help them carve some decorations through bamboo carving shops.Especially for the screen, the skillful craftsman was able to use hundreds of pieces of bamboo to stitch together with the smallest gaps, and carve a landscape picture with a length, width and height of two or three meters, which made the landlords very satisfied.

These are all later stories.

It was August in the blink of an eye, and because Qi Ru was going to take the provincial exam next year, Sun'er had to suspend his studies.

Song Yuyan discussed it with Tang Zhi, and thought that he should actually change his learning environment.It's not that Qiru's place is not good, but Qiru's teaching level is also limited. If Sun'er wants to further his studies, he should go to a school with a better education level.

First of all, the county school was ruled out, and the state school was still worth considering, but Song Zhu requested that Sun'er be sent back to Yi School, so that he could be supervised under his nose, and secondly, he had to cultivate his sense of integration into the family.

Song Yuyan didn't directly let Sun'er decide this time, because Song Yuyan actually had a little more expectation for the path he would choose in the future.

In the past, I wanted to let him have a certain level of education, but in the future, the worst thing is to be a bookkeeper, as long as he is not lazy, he will not starve to death.

Now that she has integrated into Song Dalang's identity, and has been with Sun'er for nearly five years, it would be a lie to say that she didn't have any feelings for him, so if she treats him as a younger brother, she also hopes that his knowledge level can be improved. Floors, the goal should not be limited to being an accountant.

But recently, she has also noticed that Sun'er wants to give up his studies and help Song Yuyan take care of the wax garden or cotton fields rather than get out of a prosperous road by studying.

Song Yuyan didn't think he was plotting against wax gardens or cotton fields, because she could see that he still wanted to study, but he had to give up studying for certain things.In this way, she naturally couldn't let him decide.

After the two discussed it, Tang Zhi went to talk to Sun'er.

After Sun'er grew up, his mouth became tighter and tighter, but Tang Zhi pried his mouth open by relying on his identity as his family member.

After listening to him coyly explaining his concerns, Tang Zhi realized that when she and Song Yuyan confessed the truth about Wu's rumor that Song Yuyan was the lone star of the evil spirit, Sun'er happened to be wandering around the village and overheard their conversation.

When he learned the truth, he recalled insulting and intentionally angering Song Yuyan for these reasons in the past. He regretted it and felt very ashamed.

The reason why he didn't feel too shocked is that after all these years of being sensible, he actually vaguely guessed that he had something to do with his own mother, and guessed that his mood was different from what he heard with his own ears, but no matter what, he decided to do it for him. He atones for the mistakes he made in the past.

He didn't want to be Song Yuyan's burden anymore, and he also wanted to help her share the complicated affairs, so taking advantage of two months ago, when he learned that Qi Ru could no longer teach him, he made a plan - first to understand Wax Garden from the beginning When he has a clear understanding of the operation of cotton, cotton and other matters, he will find an opportunity to do an internship, and he will help Song Yuyan in the future.

After Song Yuyan learned the ins and outs of Sun'er's change from Tang Zhi, she didn't say anything pretentious, but followed Sun'er's wishes and took him back to the cotton field in Jinchuan Township.

Sun'er thought she wanted to help with the work, but Song Yuyan just pointed at Song Jingde who was passing by, and asked Sun'er: "Sun'er thinks why Song Jingde dared to bully me back then?"

Sun'er was silent, he remembered that he seemed to have laughed at his brother because of this matter.

He also knew that Song Yuyan said this was not to settle old scores, so after thinking for a while, he replied, "Because his family is rich."

Song Yuyan showed an indescribable expression: "Are you so superficial?"

Sun'er: "..."

It's been a long time since Song Yuyan scolded her like that, what's the matter with being a little cool?

Song Yuyan said: "That's because his father and grandfather can speak well in the clan."

Sun'er understood, and he said again: "But isn't his father and grandfather able to talk in the clan because they are rich?"

Song Yuyan: "..."

She said, "I don't have any money, so I can say a word or two?"

Song Yuyan has never been proud and complacent about this, but it is still necessary to mention it when educating the younger generation.

Sun'er really understood this time.

Song Yuyan took him to see Huangtusu again. Although they both knew each other, Song Yuyan taught Sun'er afterwards, "Although Tusu has no conditions to study, he is not willing to be a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky all the time, so he He has been seizing every opportunity to learn and strive to walk on the road he thinks is good."

"You want to help me with a good intention, but what I need is not an assistant who will help me and do chores. I can already recruit such assistants outside, so why let you go to school and learn more knowledge? I still won't decide your path for you, but I will give you some appropriate suggestions."

Sun'er thought for a whole night, and then said to Song Yuyan, "I want a man's romance."

Song Yuyan: "???"

WTF?

"I want a BMW, but those who can ride horses are not available to officials and rich people, so I have already chosen the path I want to go!"

Song Yuyan: "..."

All right, she remembered that she had whispered to Sun'er that BMW is a man's romance, but he didn't expect that he had been thinking about it for so many years, and he was persistent enough.

"Then work hard, but remember one thing, everything cannot be obtained by breaking the law or using unscrupulous means."

Sun'er said disdainfully: "I don't bother to do that kind of thing!"

So Sun'er was sent back to the volunteer school in Jinchuan Township to study in September. Although Bing'er was reluctant to part with her second brother, she thought she was a strong person and would not cry!

Song Yuyan: "Your second brother has gone back to Yi to learn, and your progress must catch up. Copy a copy of his book and I will teach you."

Cake: "..."

She is a strong person and cannot cry!
