The Leisurely Life of a Peasant Woman in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 134: The Grand Inheritance: The Great Cause is Finally Accomplished

Three days later, the sun was shining brightly.

Tang Youyou's workshop was decorated with lights and crowded with people.

A huge plaque hangs high - "Inheriting the Magnificent Event".

Under the plaque, Tang Youyou, dressed in a neat plain dress and with a confident smile on her face, greeted the endless stream of guests.

At the exhibition, veteran craftsmen meticulously demonstrated traditional craftsmanship.

The carving knife in Master Liu's hand flew, and an ordinary piece of wood gradually turned into a lifelike flying bird under his hands, attracting bursts of admiration.

On the other side, young craftsmen such as Fu Wenyuan showcased their innovative achievements by combining new technologies.

The exquisite mechanical models and ingenious drawings all demonstrate the vitality and creativity of the younger generation.

Brother Tang, as the elder of the family, was also present to show his support.

He looked at the lively scene before him and said to Tang Youyou with satisfaction, "Youyou, you did a great job." Even Master Zhuang from the academy came. He stroked his long beard and exclaimed, "This is the true inheritance, the torch is passed on, and it never stops!"

At first, the old stubborn people looked on with disdain and watched coldly.

But as the presentation progressed, the expressions on their faces gradually changed.

They were surprised to find that these young people's innovation was not a rejection of tradition, but a development and sublimation based on tradition.

Each exquisite piece of work allowed them to see new possibilities for traditional craftsmanship.

The old craftsman with a goatee looked at the loom improved by Fu Wenyuan. Its efficiency was twice that of the traditional loom, but it still retained the essence of traditional craftsmanship. His lips trembled and tears streamed down his face.

He walked up to Tang Youyou and bowed deeply: "Miss Tang, I was wrong! I was shortsighted and almost missed the important event of the workshop!"

The other old craftsmen also came forward to apologize. Tang Youyou smiled gently and accepted their apologies one by one.

“We’re all doing this for the good of the workshop,” she said. “Admitting one’s mistakes and correcting them is the greatest virtue.”

Miss Wang's spy hid in the crowd, his face livid.

He originally wanted to see Tang Youyou make a fool of herself, but he didn't expect that she would resolve the crisis so perfectly.

He clenched his fists, turned and left, his back full of unwillingness.

As the exhibition drew to a close, Tang Youyou walked in front of the crowd, looked around, and slowly said, "Today..." She paused, her eyes fell on Fu Wenyuan, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, "I have something important to announce..."

"Today," Tang Youyou paused, his eyes sweeping across the expectant faces, finally landing on Fu Wenyuan, a hint of appreciation on the corner of his mouth, "I declare that the inheritance mechanism of our workshop is officially complete!" Thunderous applause broke out in the crowd, and cheers rose one after another.

The old craftsmen were in tears, as the skills they had guarded all their lives finally had a reliable inheritance; the young craftsmen were very excited, as they saw hope and unlimited possibilities for the future.

Tang Youyou raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued, "Fu Wenyuan!" Fu Wenyuan was stunned when his name was called, then he straightened his back, his eyes flashing with excitement.

"In view of your innovative and dedicated spirit in craftsmanship," Tang Youyou's voice was clear and powerful, echoing throughout the entire venue. "I appoint you as the workshop's new generation technical director. You will be responsible for leading the young craftsmen to continue their research, combining traditional craftsmanship with new technologies to create a more glorious future!"

Fu Wenyuan was so excited that he could hardly speak. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and took the toolbox that Tang Youyou handed over with both hands. It symbolized the inheritance of skills. It was heavy, as if it was carrying a heavy responsibility.

"I will live up to everyone's expectations!" His voice was sonorous and powerful.

The crowd was boiling again, and applause surged like a tide, drowning Fu Wenyuan.

He stood in the center of the crowd, his young face full of determination and confidence, like a rising star, illuminating the future of the workshop.

Miss Wang's spy hid in the dark, his face becoming even gloomier.

He never expected that Tang Youyou not only resolved the crisis, but also took this opportunity to promote newcomers and further consolidate her position in the workshop.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Tang Youyou stood by the window, looking at the flickering lights in the distance, a barely perceptible smile on her lips.

She gently turned the jade ring in her hand and whispered, "This has just begun..."

Tang Youyou's workshop became famous overnight.

The news spread all over the country as if it had wings.

From remote towns to bustling cities, people have heard of this magical workshop and the woman who has inherited the traditional craft so well - Tang Youyou.

Workshops from all over the country sent people to learn, including white-haired old craftsmen and young people full of vitality.

With reverence, they stepped into this workshop known as the "holy land of inheritance" and humbly sought advice.

Tang Youyou did not hide anything and shared her experience with everyone.

She organized systematic training courses, teaching everything from basic skills to innovative ideas without reservation to those who came to learn.

Tang Youyou's name has become synonymous with inheritance, a legend.

Wherever she goes, she is respected and loved by people.

Even the imperial court noticed her, sent officials to inspect her, and gave her high praise.

Seeing how popular the workshop was, Brother Tang was very excited. He immediately decided to invest more money to expand the scale of the workshop to meet the needs of more people to learn and inherit the tradition.

"Youyou, you did a great job!" He patted Tang Youyou's shoulder and said excitedly, "We must make the workshop bigger and stronger so that more people can benefit from it!"

Everyone in the workshop was immersed in joy, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

They seemed to see a better future, a future where traditional crafts would flourish.

However, at this moment of celebration, a sudden piece of news broke the peace.

An official came in a hurry and brought an important task - the most important local festival of the year was about to come, and the court decided to entrust the preparations to Tang Youyou.

Tang Youyou took the document handed over by the official and frowned slightly.

This is a huge challenge, an unprecedented challenge.

She took a deep breath, her eyes determined, "I accept this mission."

As night fell, Tang Youyou stood on the roof of the workshop, looking at the starry sky, muttering to herself: "This may just be the beginning..." She slowly stroked the jade ring on her hand. Suddenly, she turned around, her eyes fell on a corner, and whispered: "Who's there?"
