The Leisurely Life of a Peasant Woman in the Tang Dynasty

Tang Youyou had a sneer on his face, his eyes were as sharp as torches, as if he could see through all disguises.

Miss Wang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. She coughed lightly, pretending to be calm. "Mrs. Tang, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"

"I don't know if there are any flowers," Claire said playfully, "but I saw a den of snakes and rats."

Miss Wang's face changed slightly, and she forced a smile, "Mrs. Tang, you're joking. There aren't any snakes or rats here."

Tang Youyou didn't answer, but just looked at her meaningfully, then turned and left.

After leaving Miss Wang's mansion, she did not go back to the workshop directly, but went to a teahouse on the outskirts of the city.

This teahouse may seem ordinary, but it is an important base for her to collect intelligence.

As soon as she sat down, a thin man came over and said in a low voice: "Madam, I have already checked what you ordered."

"explain."

"Ms. Wang secretly contacted several artisans who were dissatisfied with the workshop and offered them large sums of money to create chaos in the workshop, destroy tools, and disrupt training."

Tang Youyou's eyes turned cold, just as she expected!

Miss Wang's move of cutting off the source of the problem is really cruel!

"Also," the man paused, "they seem to be planning a bigger conspiracy..."

"A bigger conspiracy?" Tang Youyou frowned, "What exactly is it?"

"This... has not been found yet." The man hesitated, "But I will continue to investigate."

Tang Youyou nodded and waved the man away.

She sat alone in the teahouse, pondering Miss Wang's intentions.

It seems that there is a deeper conspiracy behind this, and she must find out as soon as possible to prevent it from happening.

Back at the workshop, Tang Youyou found that the atmosphere was a little off.

The training scene, which was originally bustling with activity, now seemed unusually quiet, with a tense atmosphere in the air.

She keenly sensed that something was about to happen...

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence of the workshop.

Several young people were arguing with an old craftsman, and some even started destroying tools.

Tang Youyou narrowed her eyes and walked over quickly, "What's going on?!" She shouted harshly.

A young craftsman pointed at an old craftsman and shouted, "It was him! He broke my tools on purpose!"

The old craftsman, unwilling to be outdone, retorted, "Nonsense! You broke it by accident, and you're blaming me!"

The two men were arguing and were about to fight.

Tang Youyou's heart sank, and a bad premonition came over him.

She looked around and saw similar arguments going on all over the workshop.

It's obvious that someone is deliberately sowing discord and creating chaos!

"Stop it!" Tang Youyou roared, shocking everyone.

Her eyes were like lightning as she scanned the crowd, saying word by word, "I know someone is behind this..." She paused, her gaze falling on a sneaky figure, "...Come out!" Tang Youyou shouted, like thunderclapping out of the blue, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

Her eyes were like torches, pointing directly at a furtive figure in the crowd: "Don't hide, come out!" The man was frightened by Tang Youyou's aura and walked out timidly. He was one of the craftsmen who had been bribed by Miss Wang before.

"Tell me! Who told you to do this?" Tang Youyou asked sternly.

The craftsman turned pale with fear and tremblingly told Miss Wang all her plot.

"Miss Wang, you actually resorted to such despicable means!" Tang Youyou sneered, "Do you really think I'm a vegetarian?" She quickly organized a group of young craftsmen such as Fu Wenyuan and old craftsmen such as Master Liu, and captured the craftsmen who created the chaos on the spot, like catching a turtle in a jar, making it impossible for them to escape.

This clean and efficient handling instantly calmed the originally chaotic workshop, and everyone looked at Tang Youyou with eyes full of admiration.

Brother Tang and Master Zhuang also rushed over and expressed their appreciation and support for Tang Youyou's actions. Master Zhuang stroked his beard and sighed, "Women are no less capable than men!"

Miss Wang's face turned pale when she saw her conspiracy was exposed.

She knew that if the hard way didn't work, she would try the soft way.

She walked up to Tang Youyou and sighed with pretended regret, "Mrs. Tang, why make things so awkward? It's all for the future of the workshop." Tang Youyou replied with a forced smile, "Miss Wang really has good intentions. I'm so grateful." Miss Wang ignored Tang Youyou's sarcasm and changed the subject, proposing a new challenge, "How about this, let's have a competition of craftsmanship? If I lose, I'll never set foot in the workshop again; but if you lose..." Miss Wang paused, a sly glint in her eyes, "You have to give the workshop to me."

Tang Youyou sneered in her heart, this must be Miss Wang's real purpose!

But her face remained expressionless, and she simply replied, "Okay, I accept your challenge." She paused, her eyes becoming sharper, "But, I also have a condition." Miss Wang raised her eyebrows, "What condition?" Tang Youyou raised her lips with a playful smile, "If I win, you have to kneel down and call me... Mother!"

When Tang Youyou said the word "mother", the whole audience was in an uproar.

Even Brother Tang and Master Zhuang were stunned. This girl really never stops until she says something shocking!

Miss Wang was so angry that her face turned pale and her whole body was shaking. She pointed at Tang Youyou and was speechless for a long time.

After taking a deep breath, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I promise you!" She just didn't believe that she would lose to a country woman!

This was a competition that concerned the fate of the workshop, and the pressure on Tang Youyou increased dramatically.

Although she said it lightly, she knew in her heart that Miss Wang was not an easy character, and this competition would definitely be a tough battle!

"Mom, can we win?" Tang Wan asked worriedly.

Tang Youyou patted her daughter's head and gave her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, your mother has special skills!"

In the next few days, the workshop was bustling with activity. Tang Youyou, Fu Wenyuan and other young people worked day and night, working even harder than 996!

They combine traditional craftsmanship with new ideas, constantly experimenting and improving.

Master Liu also taught his whole heart and passed on all he had learned throughout his life to these young people.

"Young man, be bold and do it! Even if you fail, it is also experience!" Master Liu encouraged while guiding, with the demeanor of an "old cadre".

Tang Youyou looked at this vibrant scene, her heart filled with hope.

This is not just a competition, but also an inheritance and innovation!

The day of the competition has finally arrived.

Miss Wang walked in proudly with her work, her eyes full of confidence, as if she was sure of victory.

Her works are indeed exquisite and amaze everyone.

"That's it? I thought it was some 'king bomb', but it turns out to be just a 'small pair'!" Tang Youyou complained calmly.

When it was Tang Youyou's turn to present her work, the entire audience fell silent.

She slowly unveiled the red cloth, and a breathtaking work appeared before everyone.

The exquisite design and superb craftsmanship make it hard to believe that it was created by a "country woman".

"Holy crap! This is too good to be true!" "This is simply divine craftsmanship!" Everyone exclaimed, even Miss Wang was stunned.

She never thought that Tang Youyou could create such an amazing work!

The result of the competition was no surprise. Tang Youyou's work far surpassed Miss Wang's, and she won without any controversy.

Miss Wang's face turned pale and blue, and finally, she turned and left without saying a word.

Tang Youyou looked at her back, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that someone is going to default on his debt..."

After Miss Wang left in disgrace, Tang Youyou did not indulge in the joy of victory.

She knew this "white lotus with a black heart" routine too well. Winning the competition was only the first step, and the real challenge was still to come.

Sure enough, the next day, the rumor spread like wildfire throughout the town.

Some people said that Tang Youyou's work was plagiarized, some said that she used some shameful means to win the competition, and some even said that she was the reincarnation of a monster and knew sorcery...

"This wave of operations is really 666!" Tang Youyou was not angry when she heard these rumors, but found it a little funny.

"It's a waste of talent for Miss Wang not to become a screenwriter."

Faced with these rumors, Tang Youyou decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

She did not explain or refute, but continued to focus on the production and inheritance training of the workshop.

She believes that time will prove everything and the innocent will be cleared.

Master Liu, Brother Tang and others also supported Tang Youyou. They used practical actions to prove Tang Youyou's strength and character.

Young people like Fu Wenyuan are even more motivated. They study hard, innovate constantly, and respond to external doubts with one exquisite work after another.

Just then, Miss Wang came to visit again.

This time, she did not act aggressively. Instead, she pretended to be pitiful and said that she was confused for a moment and fell into someone else's trap, so she did those things.

She asked Tang Youyou to forgive her and expressed her willingness to merge her workshop into Tang Youyou's workshop for common development.

Tang Youyou sneered in her heart as she watched Miss Wang's expression change faster than turning the pages of a book.

"What's going on here? A self-torture scheme? A beauty trap? Or...the Hongmen Banquet?" She gave Tang Wan a look without making any expression.

Tang Wan understood and quietly retreated.

"Miss Wang, I appreciate your kindness." Tang Youyou said calmly, "However, my workshop is now fully staffed and does not need to be merged for the time being."

Miss Wang's face froze, but she quickly smiled again.

"Madam Tang, are you really not going to reconsider this? After the merger, we will join forces and will surely create even greater glory..."

Tang Youyou interrupted Miss Wang.

"Ms. Wang, you should go back and have a good rest. I still have things to do."

Seeing that Tang Youyou refused to listen, Miss Wang had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

As soon as she walked out of the workshop gate, she saw Tang Wan and several officials coming over...

"Ms. Wang, someone has reported you for tax evasion. Please come with us."

Miss Wang's face changed drastically, "You...you guys..."

Tang Youyou stood at the door, watching Miss Wang being taken away by the officials, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"This is just the beginning..." She turned to Master Liu and said, "Master Liu, we still have a lot to do next..."
