"This is the piano that my son gave me, let me play it, I have learned it!"

"I will too!"

"Dalang, you have nothing to do, don't you? Hurry up and collect your things. It looks like you're going to the town."

"Mom, the meal is ready."

Now, the Ji family's food chain has become Ji Mo at the top, followed by Ji's mother, Ji's father, Ji Dalang, and Ji Dalang's wife. In this order, Ji Dalang is used to being told by his parents, and he didn't respond at all, smiling. , and didn't realize that his wife was helping him out in disguise.

Mother Ji saw it, and just smiled. The daughter-in-law treats her son well, so what can she choose?

Ji Mo wants to laugh every day when he hears these familiar words. He suggested to Ji’s mother that the second piano was agreed to be handed over to shopkeeper Sun, and he will still make pianos later. There is no need to always compete for piano practice.

"No, how long can we play in a day? Or sell it for money. Our family is not like that."

Ji's mother understands the truth of the crime of being pregnant, don't think it's just a matter of a piano, not a piano maker, there are pianos that can only be owned by wealthy families, what do you make those wealthy families think?If one of them is unhappy, there will be countless charges and countless ways to torment you, so what can you do?

As a farmer, it is the kindness of the adults to farm the land honestly, pay taxes honestly, and earn a living with the little grain honestly. If you want more, you must be careful not to hurt others' eyes.

"Usually I don't tell you these things, but now that you can make money for your family, you should know something about it. People like us shouldn't be too outstanding."

Ji's mother's words contained a warning. Ji's father had been a servant for several years halfway, and he didn't know much about many things. Ji's mother was a dead bond since she was a child, and she grew up in that house since she was a child. I dare not say how proficient, but I can understand the viciousness behind the glamor.

People like them can't keep good things, and they can't attract people's attention. Without him, they have no platform to support them.

People in the village looked at them and thought they had a good relationship with the town. In fact, the people in the town who really dealt with them saw them as slaves, and they had to admit it, because the contemptuous eyes of the slaves were very important to them. They are the safest.

Regarding Ji Mo's ability to make pianos, Ji's mother also told the family not to talk nonsense. If someone finds out that there is a piano at home, they can say that they learned from others. Just push it to the town. Most people just ask curiously, no He will get to the bottom of it, and he won't really go to the town to ask Ji Mo's mentor.

"The shopkeeper Sun, it sounds like he's a nice guy now. You can pay as much as he gives you. Don't argue. Our family won't get rich if you add a few taels of silver. On the contrary, it will hinder others' eyes, and you may even have to pay for it." Get in some."

These principles of life, Ji's mother said plainly, but Ji Dalang and his wife who were listening on the side were fine, Ji Mo felt uncomfortable hearing it, is the status so low?Even haggling is wrong.

There seems to be a picture in their minds, when the wealthy family throws a little money at will, they will offer the things with both hands, and they will pick up the money on the ground with a smile, thanking the other party for the reward.

If it is said to be low-spirited, it may be considered, but if it is done like this, it will indeed not make the rich and noble people feel uncomfortable. Maybe they will despise and sympathize for a while and throw away more money.

When Mother Ji spoke up, the focus was on Ji Dalang's wife, Jin Niang: "In our family, I am not the mother-in-law who cares about others, and you know what I do for you. These days, you are also hardworking and willing to work, and I see it all in my eyes." , but went out, just this is not enough, just think about it, if someone calls you a bitch, and you still have to laugh and say that you are a bitch, can you laugh and say it, if you can't do it, and Don't go out with me, or you will cause trouble, and it will be difficult to get ahead."

Men can't enter the inner courtyard, they can only deal with outsiders, it's just a matter of money, it's a little simpler, women are different, fortunately, Jin Niang is at most beautiful, not so beautiful, otherwise Ji's mother would have to worry more Can this daughter-in-law be brought back intact after being taken out?

Jin Niang was startled, she didn't expect to hear such words, she was stunned for a while, seeing her pitiful appearance, Ji Dalang said from the side: "Mother, it shouldn't be like this."

"Why not? You have to think of the worst before you can yearn for the better." Mother Ji glared at him. Mother-in-law teaches daughter-in-law, what's wrong with him?

Ji Dalang was kicked out, along with Ji Mo.

Outside the room door, Ji Dalang murmured unconvinced: "Mother is trying to scare people!"

Ji Mo was not as optimistic as he was, and said back to him: "How do you know that mother hasn't experienced this?"

The female relatives in the inner house can't get out of the square inch, what is the difference between each one and the frog in the well, how can outsiders know what they care about and argue?

Ji Dalang was stunned, could it be that...

Ji Mo ignored him, turned his head and went to make pianos. The status of craftsmen should be low. Silver is the real thing. If they are rich enough, they can also collude with officials and businessmen to buy relationships. Otherwise, they are just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Sooner or later it's all dead.

Ji Mo, who didn't pay attention to these things anymore, heard the report from Ji Dalang later. Ji Dalang went to ask Ji's father secretly, and only then did he know how Ji's mother, the dead maid in the back house, married an outsider. Well, it's in the way of other people's eyes. In fact, the man hasn't noticed it yet, but the hostess of the house can't tolerate it anymore. She wants to sell people to such dirty places one by one. Smart, he found out that something might be wrong early on, bought all the money off the nanny next to his wife, said a few good words, and then he was able to get married smoothly.

Maids like them were originally married to the family and had children, and they could not leave the family for life and death. They rarely married outside. When the man is married, she is not in front of her eyes, so she doesn't worry about it. When Ji's father's contract time is up and he leaves smoothly, it will be fine.

Mother Ji, a wife who is a virtuous housewife, sounds like a high-ranking lady, but in fact she only communicates with the nuns in the house, and cannot reach the eyes of those ladies.

But it's just that these little ghosts are difficult to deal with, if they can't share some benefits, they will really turn their faces and be ruthless.

Knowing from Ji's father that these family businesses are difficult, Ji Dalang seemed to have grown up overnight and matured a lot, and said to Ji Mo: "In the future, we must be filial to our parents, they are not easy."

Nodding and bowing outside, supporting the backbone of a family.

Ji Mo nodded: "I know, I will work hard to make a better piano." Having said that, Ji Mo looked at Ji Dalang with a dignified face, and joked, "Brother, you should work hard too! Son, study hard, let him be an official in the future, and our family will not be afraid of anything."

It is impossible not to be afraid. Officials are also graded. If trouble is caused, the whole family may be implicated. However, it is always good to have hope.

Ji Mo's second violin was made at the end of autumn. The efficiency of making violins in winter is too low, and the charcoal fire is not warm enough. Drying in the shade, not drying or drying in the sun, these are easy to destroy the dry and wet characteristics of the wood itself.

When roasting on a charcoal fire in winter, Ji Mo would keep the charcoal fire away from the embryo to avoid the influence of abnormal heat.

Now that the piano is made, compared with the first one, there is really no difference in appearance. The sound of the playing is accurately adjusted to ensure that the two pianos are the same. In Ji Mo's view, the second Zhang Qin's hands are more familiar and he can play better. For the rest, let shopkeeper Sun see.

When sending the piano over, shopkeeper Sun had customers there, and Ji Mo waited until the person left, but he didn't see the other party buying the piano.

He reckoned that the business failed, and shopkeeper Sun might be in a bad mood, but he turned his head and still smiled: "I kept you waiting for a long time, but the second piano is made?"

"Yeah." Ji Mo nodded, and under the direction of shopkeeper Sun, he placed the piano on the table that had been placed last time, and opened the cotton cloth to reveal the piano, decorated with orchid grass, and the paint was as bright as a mirror. You can tell it at a glance The polishing process is said to be more than 20 times at least, the smooth and delicate, the touch is different, and the silk strings are ancient and flexible...

Knowing that this violin was sold to his own family, and finding that the quality was not bad, or even better, shopkeeper Sun stroked his beard and smiled: "My little friend is indeed a trustworthy person."

Ji Mo was not happy with the compliment, and smiled a little. He had no objection to the last price, but just asked where to buy silk and other raw materials.

There are still a lot of wood from the wooden house on the mountain to make the piano. Two years have passed, most of the wood can be used, but the others are less, not only the silk used for the strings, but also the lacquer. Not enough.

In this regard, shopkeeper Sun pondered for a while: "In the past, all the needs for making violins were collected by various companies. I may only have silk here and have some methods, but I can't guarantee the quality. If you want to collect them all... how about this? Your family chooses, you go and ask to see if there is any spare part in his family that can be with you."

Saying this, Shopkeeper Sun shook his head slightly. His peers are enemies, and Ji Mo's age seems to him to be a lover of talent, but in the eyes of those peers, no matter how old or young, they are all robbing business. Know if they will help.

Ji Mo also knew this, which was why he asked Shopkeeper Sun directly, and thanked the other party for his kindness. Anyway, this is also a way, and the rest depends on himself.

Regarding Cao Mu's negligence in this part, Ji Mo thinks that he may not even know where to get the raw materials. Thinking about how old Cao Mu was when he died, a young boy of the thirteenth or fourteenth, it is definitely impossible for him to do these things. As a matter of fact, the other party will run away after selling the piano, and they may not really do this business again in the future, so it doesn't matter whether they collect raw materials or not.
