When Tang Li heard this, she actually wanted to laugh, but when she saw the aggrieved look on Tang Zitong’s face, she held back laughter and comforted her, “WHen you have children, you can bring them to your classmate’s house and ask her to give you red packets.”
Tang Zitong felt that it made sense.
Tang Li told her about selling a konghou today.
Tang Zitong was a little surprised. “Someone actually came here to buy instruments?”
“This is called fate,” Tang Li said. “That girl can be trained.”
Tang Zitong nodded. “That’s good. We happen to need talented people.”
“Right.”
The two of them walked in.
At this moment, Qiqi was actually learning handicraft from the craftsmen.
When Linlin saw this, she ran over as well.
Tang Zitong grinned and said, “Fourth Sister, what do you think about letting Qiqi and Linlin inherit the art of making imperial instruments? Now that young people are unwilling to take over, we’re having a headache finding apprentices.”
Tang Li smiled and said, “You can ask them if they want to.”
“Alright, I’ll ask during dinner.”
The two of them continued walking towards the training room where Yu Meng was.
At this moment, Yu Meng was looking at the score while Lu Cong was sitting there writing and drawing. When he saw the two of them enter, he immediately stood up and greeted, “Boss.”
Tang Li nodded and asked, “How’s Yu Meng doing?”
“She’s hard working and quick on the uptake.”
This was already the best evaluation he could give Yu Meng.
Yu Meng stood up and greeted Tang Li, “Sister Tang.”
Tang Li nodded and said, “Keep working hard. Everyone has hope in you.”
Yu Meng clenched her fists and nodded. “Yes, I will.”
After the two of them finished speaking, Lu Cong suggested to Tang Li, “I think it’s better to let Yu Meng train in the company. It’s quiet here, but she has to interact with different people.’
Tang Li looked at Yu Meng. “Yu Meng, what do you think?”
Yu Meng’s heart raced and she became nervous for some reason. However, she still said, “I’ll listen to Sister Tang.”
Tang Li looked at Tang Zitong.
Tang Zitong also thought that Lu Cong’s suggestion was good. “There are many retired soldiers in the company. They can give people a sense of security. It’s not a bad idea for Yu Meng to go there, but we have to find a manager for her.”
“I… I don’t want a manager.” At the thought of being with a stranger every day, Yu Meng panicked.
“Hey! Don’t be nervous. When I say I’ll find you a manager, I’ll definitely find one that you like.”
Yu Meng pursed her lips tightly and stopped talking, obviously displeased.
Tang Zitong was troubled.
Tang Li said to her, “It’s alright. We can take our time to think about it.”
At that moment, Tang Zitong’s phone rang. After answering the call, she said to Tang Li, “Daddy and Second Uncle are all at home for dinner tonight. Mommy called and asked us to go back early.”
Tang Li nodded and the few of them packed up and went back.
On the way, Tang Li called Qi Yihan and asked if he wanted to come over for dinner.
Qi Yihan was not busy these few days, so he agreed.
Qi Yihan arrived half an hour after Tang Li arrived. Everyone was waiting for him, and the moment he arrived, the dinner began.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to catch up with each other.
First Master Tang said, “During this period of time, I have been to several music academies. I didn’t expect the Imperial Musical Instruments to be so unpopular now. There are at most fifty students in the Imperial Musical Instrument Faculty.”
After saying that, First Master Tang couldn’t help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect the imperial instruments to have fallen to such a state.”
Second Master Tang added, “It’s the same for music companies. They say that no one uses imperial instruments at this time. Even the songs from ancient movies are done through electronic instruments.”
During this period of time, the Tang family had finally seen the reality of the imperial instruments. If not for the fact that they had promised Tang Li that they would pick up their old trade, they would have thought about giving up.
Tang Zitong, on the other hand, was full of confidence. “It’s not popular now because they have forgotten how beautiful the music played by the imperial instruments is. I believe that one day, we will bring our instructments back to their previous glory.”
Tang Li agreed. “Yes, I believe it too.”
Tang Zitong grinned at Tang Li. She felt that with Tang Li’s support, she wouldn’t need to be afraid of anything.
At this moment, Qi Yihan suggested, “First Uncle, Second Uncle, you can also invest some money into popular dramas and make the theme songs using Imperial Instruments.”
“Who’s gonna play though?” First Uncle and Second Uncle asked subconsciously.
Qi Yihan smiled. “Everyone in the Tang family knows how to play instruments. Are you afraid that you can’t play it well?”
Tang Zitong was the first to object. “How is that possible? We’ve been playing instruments since we were born. We can play all kinds of Imperial Instruments.”
First Madam Tang said to Tang Zitong, “You’re too conceited.”
“This is called confidence.” Tang Zitong didn’t think she was conceited.
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, “How about this? I’ll go with Second Sister tomorrow to see the ‘Divine Phoenix’ drama screw that is currently airing. We’ll see if we can get them to put in some ancient instruments.”
Tang Ze immediately said, “I’ve been watching this drama a lot recently. There are also many young people discussing it online. Will they be willing to let us put in Imperial Instrument music?”
“Don’t worry, I happen to know the male and female leads of this drama. Second Sister and I will look for them tomorrow.”
“That’s great.”
Everyone was instantly filled with hope.
Tang Li and the others stayed at the Tang family’s house until ten o’clock before returning.
On the way back, Qi Yihan told Tang Li, “Qi Lingxuan didn’t go to the company today.”
Tang Li was interested. “How did First Brother react?”
“He called a lot of people to look for him.”
Tang Li nodded and said, “Qi Lingxuan won’t die. He should be hiding somewhere now. First Brother definitely won’t be able to find him.”
“Yeah.”
After the four of them returned home, Tang Li pulled Qi Yihan to the backyard. On the way, she said to the two butlers, “Make sure no one enters the backyard.”
After the two of them left, Butler Zhang said to Butler Yang, “I think Madam wants to date Master alone in the backyard, so she asked us to keep everyone away from the backyard.”
Butler Yang glanced at him and said, “If you have nothing to do, take Young Master Qiqi and Miss Linlin to sleep.”
Linlin immediately giggled and said, “Uncle Yang, don’t be so serious. I think Uncle Zhang is right.”
Butler Zhang was instantly gratified and immediately picked her up. “Linlin knows me best. Butler Yang, you’re just too rigid sometimes.”
Butler Yang looked at him with a straight face.
Butler Zhang carried Linlin and brought Qiqi to their bedroom.
Butler Yang went to grab a chair and sat by the doorway, making sure no one would disturb Tang Li.
