Chapter 333 Beacon

"You mean you hurried back after hearing someone slandering me outside?"

Lu Xiangge couldn't help but frowned as he listened to Dong Yong stuttering to explain his intention clearly, "Who is it? So boring."

"I don't know who it is. There is a boy in the dyeing shop who heard what his mother said, and his mother heard what others said. I asked several people but I still can't find out who made the rumor."

Dong Yongyong clenched his fists angrily, "It's my fault, it's all because I don't have any skills. Those people are not afraid of me at all. They got impatient after asking them a few questions!"

He only hated that he had no official position and no powerful backer, so others naturally did not take him seriously.

"fine."

Lu Sheige hurriedly comforted him, "This person just likes to make irresponsible remarks when he opens his mouth. Don't worry about it."

How could he not care? If these people called him Dong Yong, he would probably be angry and aggrieved at most, but if they were talking about Xiaosi, Dong Yong couldn't care less.

"But they..."

Dong Yong wanted to say, what they say is so unpleasant, it would be fine if you were a boy, but you are a girl, it would be really bad if the girl's family's reputation is bad.

He not only regarded her as a friend, but also regarded her family as family, that's why he reminded her like this.

"It doesn't matter. Now the dyeing workshop has stabilized. I also brought a young apprentice. As long as the ingredients are prepared, they can get started..."

It's just that it's very troublesome to explain. Even Lu Quan and the others don't know the whereabouts of her shop in Beijing, and it's even less possible for her to say anything about Dong Yong.

Dong Yong saw that Lu Sheige didn't take it seriously and couldn't help but remind him, "It's just this, I'm afraid it will have an impact on you. Although you are rarely at home, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu will feel bad if they hear it.

of."

"I heard that your dyeing shop is doing well, will it not be affected when you come back?"

Lu Xiuge rubbed the tea cup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Thank you, I know what to do."

He really couldn't talk about what happened next.

Dong Yong became a little more awake at this time: "Yes, I also feel very strange, how did this rumor spread to Nanyang? That's why I came back to take a look, and it just so happened... I haven't been back for a long time!"

"It's really okay, but now most of the business has been given to others, so I just want to take the dividends." Lu Sheige didn't want to explain more about the Jingzhong store.

"It's okay, I don't care about this."

Lu Xiuge: "Well, I still have to thank you for thinking of me."

Don't look at what she did with Dong Yong at that time. If she really wanted Lu Xiangge to open a dyeing workshop, she would definitely only be able to talk on paper.

Speaking of apprentices, Dong Yong rarely felt guilty, "I, I remember you said that if you want a skill to be passed down, you should not stick to family inheritance, but let more people learn the skill so that it can be passed on.

Only by carrying forward these skills can they not be wiped out by the long river of time. But...my father said that even if I don't want to keep the handicraft family inheritance, I should teach this dyeing technique to my relatives instead of a stranger.

Stranger. I...I...my sister-in-law asked her nephew to learn from me, but their family didn't have the money to open a dyeing shop, so they just wanted her nephew to be able to make a living in the future. My father even asked him to sign a contract with my family.

, after learning my craft, if he wants to go out to open a dyeing workshop, my family will not stop him, but if he is just a master, he can only do it in my family for ten years after starting the apprenticeship, and the wages will be based on the master's wages. After ten years, he can go wherever he wants.

It’s to stay.”

This time Xie was different from the last time. This time she truly felt Dong Yong's kindness.

"You already have an apprentice? That's awesome!"

Lu Xiuge's praise was sincere. The fact that Dong Yong was able to open a dyeing workshop and lead apprentices so quickly showed that he was capable enough. He really paid attention to the dyeing workshop, which also showed that he had good talent.

"What did you say?"

Dong Yong felt that the more he spoke, the more his selfishness was proven. Compared with Lu Xiaosi, he was still not aboveboard enough.

"Actually, he is not an apprentice. He is my sister-in-law's nephew."

Seeing that Lu Sheige really listened, Dong Yong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, changed the subject and asked: "How are you in the capital? I heard Uncle Lu said that the business there is not bad."

These words indeed reminded Lu Sheige that she could not care, but if her parents heard these rumors, would they not care?

If Lu Xiaosi had been secretive to him back then, he would definitely not have been able to learn dyeing, and he would not have been left as an apprentice in the dyeing shop in Huaicheng because of the recipe Xiaosi taught him, and now he has his own dyeing shop.

Lu Shege explained with a smile, "Rumors stop at wise men. If nothing else, few people in Nanyang know me. Except for my classmates at Qingshan Academy, almost no one else. Those classmates of mine are all literate.

People who understand etiquette and abide by the rules are most curious and will never come out to spread rumors. The real rumors are probably those who went to Nanyang from Jiangjiaba. They are just jealous of the good life in our little Xinzhuang. These people

Don’t pay any attention to it.”

Anyway, there was someone managing the second brother's place, so she got a money bag for him.

Unexpectedly, what was just an experiment like playing house for a child back then would lead to Dong Yong's achievements today. Even Lu Xiange was proud of Dong Yong.

These people were probably among those who had been visiting her in the past few days. Seeing that there was no profit to be gained from her, they encouraged the rumors to spread.

Originally, shopkeeper Li was in charge of the store, and she took the dividends, which Dong Yong knew to some extent. What he didn't know was that shopkeeper Li had now become the county magistrate, and she had left most of the business in Beijing to her second brother.

, that is, the current emperor.

"Thank you, I didn't do anything."

Lu Xiangge smiled and shook his head, "You misunderstood me. I just said don't stick to family inheritance, but I didn't say you must teach it to strangers. Many craftsmen will set rules about passing on things from son to daughter. If you don't

Son, I would rather take your skills to the grave than keep them. I think this is wrong. I didn't say it's wrong for you to pass it on to your relatives. You pass it on to your relatives and to your children.

Women are right. People can only think of others when they ensure that their own interests are not infringed. You are not wrong. As you said, not everyone can be like you, talented and capable.

Everyone can be as lucky as you. My father and brother tried their best to help you open a dyeing shop. Although most people are good at crafts, they can only work for others to earn some money to support their families."

Dong Yong was deeply moved by Lu Shege's words.

He felt that the luckiest thing about him was that he met Lu Xiaosi, the girl named Lu Xiangge in front of him.

In Dong Yong's eyes, Lu Sheige seemed to be able to shine and had become a guiding light on his road to learning art and being a good person.
