Chapter 45: Hot
It can be seen that in order to repair the relationship with Chen Youniao, the clan has spent a lot of money. Money, food, cloth, and various materials are enough to fill three large carts.
When Uncle Wang saw it, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. However, he still asked for permission first and accepted these things after receiving permission.
Chen Youniao had his own thoughts on this. Since it was impossible to completely cut off the connection with the clan, he simply borrowed a donkey to go downhill.
Well, he is currently running out of money and is stretched in every aspect. He wants to make money by drawing talismans, but the materials such as talisman paper he needs are gone. According to Uncle Wang, the household income he received last time has almost been used up.
For two days, I had no money to buy meat.
Putting aside daily expenses, I don’t know how much money I will spend on studying and practicing Taoism in the next period of time.
It is impossible to take advantage of Song Tianfu's favor every time.
Now that the clan has made it known that it wants full support, it might as well lend a hand.
Chen Youniao has always been open-minded and perceptive. Most of the so-called worldly wisdom is like this.
…
"Ah Sheng, you'll be fine now. You'll be able to see the moonlight when the clouds clear."
In the courtyard, Awang, the servant who was accompanying him to deliver gifts, said sadly. He and Uncle Wang were both born in the fifth-room family. They grew up together and had a good relationship. But after Chen Mudao ran away with Monk Yunyou, the servants in the family changed their families one after another.
When Uncle Wang and Chen Youniao came back, Awang also persuaded Uncle Wang to leave Chen Youniao to avoid having to live without food and clothing. Unexpectedly, as time passed, Chen Youniao suddenly changed. Not only did he become a scholar, but he also became a Taoist priest, and his status soared.
, even the clan leader is trying to please him. As the old saying goes, "When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." As a meritorious old servant, Uncle Wang's status has also been greatly improved.
Uncle Wang was not complacent and said with a smile: "It's just so so, it's just improved a little bit."
Na Wang lowered his voice: "I heard some rumors that the original ancestral home will be returned to the young master to live in."
Uncle Wang opened his eyes wide: "Really?"
"It is said that it will be announced at the ancestor worship ceremony."
"That would be really nice."
Uncle Wang's eyes shone.
The ancestral home has completely different weight and has extraordinary symbolic significance. It will also have a great impact on Chen Youniao's future career and reputation. If the ancestral home cannot be taken back and he completely falls out with the clan, people will make a big fuss about it.
, to be accused of "unfilial piety and unharmony".
Awang smiled and said: "Ah Sheng, you and I have worked together for so many years, you know me well. Before, I had no choice but to live, so I joined the third house. Now that I have the opportunity, I am willing to come back and serve the young master."
When Uncle Wang heard this, he immediately understood and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will tell the young master about this matter when the time is right."
If we could really move back to our ancestral home, it would be several times bigger than this one, with twenty or thirty rooms, front and back yards, etc., all of which would need to be taken care of. The bigger the place, the more manpower it would take. Anyway,
If you want to use people, it is better to use "old people" who know the roots of things. As for the past, in that situation, the slaves had no choice but to do it. For the servants, no matter which room they work in, they are always the same.
Chen.
Awang said: "Thank you very much. To be honest, this is what the fifth master meant. He said that after the house is returned to its original owner, all the original servants can follow the young master."
The fifth young master is Chen Han.
Uncle Wang said nothing and stopped talking.
After the delivery was completed, the servant who delivered the things left, but a carriage was left behind. There was originally a horseman, but Uncle Wang declined, saying that he had no place to stay for the time being, so he let Wangcai be the owner instead. Wangcai didn't have much to do on weekdays.
He was just a lackey, and now he works part-time as a coachman and is responsible for raising horses, which is just right.
After finishing this work, Uncle Wang went into the room and told Chen Youniao in detail.
Chen Youniao listened and said calmly: "It is true that we want to get the ancestral home back, but we cannot take advantage of others in vain. We must save enough money and redeem it in an upright and dignified way."
Wang Bo said: "Young Master is very thoughtful. Now they are vying to give favors. If they take them all, it will seem that the favor is too worthless."
Chen Youniao chuckled: "The supplies sent by the clan leader are part of the clan's support, but the ancestral home has been mortgaged to the third room before. If you want it back for no reason, it is a private matter between each room. This is different in nature.
It needs to be clearly distinguished.”
"I see."
Wang Bogong said, feeling more and more that his young master is young and mature, completely different from the master who is easily overheated and does things regardless of the consequences.
Chen Youniao ordered: "Anyway, you should register the things delivered and write them down in the book. Don't be unclear about them."
"yes."
Uncle Wang readily agreed. Today is different from the past. Before, he only had to buy groceries and cook, and had nothing else to do. Now, all of a sudden, he has to step into the role of "general manager". There are many things to do and too many people to do.
Be enriched and energetic.
Chen Youniao was wondering whether he should allocate a sum of money to buy materials for drawing talismans. He had already inquired with the Taoist priests and found that he could go to the Taoist Governor's Mansion to buy various cultivation items at discounted prices and guaranteed quality.
This is the benefit of becoming a Taoist priest and joining an organization. Otherwise, you can only ask around and buy on the black market, which will cost you a lot more money.
The completed talismans can also be entrusted to the Daoting Governor's Mansion for sale. However, talismans are popular items. As long as they are made well, there is no need to worry about lack of sales. If they are sold to the Governor's Mansion, a commission will be charged.
The Daoting Governor's Mansion is actually a platform. On the platform, what makes Chen Youniao's eyes most excited is of course the follow-up cultivation method, which is the top priority.
I have no choice but to buy it with talisman money. However, talisman money is rare on the market. It is circulated in the world of cultivation and has nothing to do with the world. If you want to earn this talisman money, you need to do things for the Taoist court and complete tasks.
It can be seen from this that the existence significance of this money is essentially the same as the currency of the dynasty, which is used to control manpower and people's livelihood.
It is not easy to earn money from talismans, and you have to think about earning ordinary currency first. Selling talismans is only a temporary option, not a long-term solution.
Just as he was thinking about his background, Wangcai hurried in and reported, "Master, I heard some news."
Chen Youniao asked: "What news?"
"Many people are asking about you outside."
"Pursuing about me?"
Chen Youniao was startled, subconsciously thinking it was the subsequent impact of becoming a Taoist priest, and Wei Wei was a little proud. Hehe, is his family already so popular?
Wangcai said: "I heard that they are looking for the young master to ask for poems and writing."
"ah!"
Chen Youniao was surprised, why is this? He asked, "Did you hear that right?"
"Really, they are all scholars who come to ask for calligraphy and poems from the young master. They are even willing to pay a high price. But I don't know the details."
Wangcai answered honestly.
"Looking for words? Writing poems? Are you willing to pay a high price for them?"
Chen Youniao touched his chin. Could it be the effect of the fermentation of his previous fame? But no, he is just a little famous. It is impossible to become so popular all of a sudden. In the literary circle, everyone has their eyes above the top, how can they be easily convinced?
People? It’s difficult to become a famous author.
