Delicate Flower Chapter 96: Inferiority
Both the boss and the landlady still remember Yu Tang.
Not only did they warmly welcome the Yutang brothers and sisters to stay in the hotel, they also specially selected a secluded guest room for Yutang and personally filled her with hot water to freshen her up.
Yu Tang naturally thanked him again and again.
The boss lady lowered her head to let her see the silk flower in her hair: "You gave it to me when you came here last time. Everyone said it looks good. I get complimented every time I wear it."
Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled, and then asked the proprietress to accompany her to the alley selling hair flower accessories.
She plans to make a few more head flowers this time so that when her brother and Miss Xiang come back, they can take them back to the Xiang’s house to show off.
Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after knowing this.
He was about to go to Wulin Gate to inquire about news, but he was worried about how to arrange Yu Tang.
"Then be careful." He told his sister, "Come back after you finish shopping. I have already told the boss that I will not have dinner in the inn tonight. The landlady will bring dinner to your room by then. , if I haven’t come back after your dinner, remember to close the doors and windows of the room tightly, and go to bed early. I’ll tell you tomorrow if you need anything.”
This was the first time that Yu Tang asked his brother to do such a thing. He was a little worried that he would be spotted by the Gu family or encounter something dangerous, so he pulled his sleeve and said with concern: "You Be careful in everything. Whether you pry or not, you can get good news, and the most important thing is to be safe. You also said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Leave the green hills behind, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood. We can’t do it this time, next time Just think of other ways. If something happens to you, I don’t want to live anymore."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Yuan listened and couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I told you to read less story books and go to the theater less, and you turned a deaf ear. You thought less and there was nothing. Do you think I What are you going to do? It's important to ask you about Miss Gu's wet nurse, but the most important thing is the business in our shop. When I went to Wulin Gate, I also went to find Yao San'er, and by the way, I went to help you find out the news. ”
Since the last time he came to Hangzhou City to contact Yao Saner, Yu Yuan started walking around with him. A few days ago, he asked someone to bring a New Year's gift to Yao San'er. Their shop opened, and Yao San'er also invited people to bring congratulatory gifts to Lin'an.
That’s good!
Yu Tang chuckled and said, "Brother, go and come back early. Remember to bring me Zhenbeicheng's braised pig head."
"You are a girl, what do you eat braised pig head?!" Yu Yuan said ruthlessly, "If I want to bring it to you, I will also bring osmanthus cake, gorgon fruit powder, and silk candy." After saying this, he was afraid that Yu Tang would still pester him. When he asked him to buy this or that, he relented and agreed to everything like before. He simply waved his hand towards Yu Tang and said, "I'm leaving, you should be careful." He left the inn without looking back.
Yu Tang was so angry that her cheeks were bulging, but she had no choice but to go to the alley next door with the proprietress selling headwear. Then she saw a chestnut cake selling, so she bought two kilograms and asked the inn boy to give it to her. I went to shopkeeper Tong Er and asked the little boy to bring a message: "Thank you shopkeeper Tong for taking care of me last time I came to Hangzhou. I originally wanted to bring some earthenware from home, but it turned out that they were not as delicious as those sold in Hangzhou. I might as well go there I bought some pastries in the alley next door. The things are ordinary and disrespectful. Please forgive me, shopkeeper Tong. When my brother comes back, I will make a special trip to visit shopkeeper Tong."
After she was taught a lesson by Pei Yan, she learned etiquette from Yu Wexue when she returned. If you know that you want to visit someone at this time, you cannot go directly. Instead, you have to send a name card in advance or send someone to deliver some fruit or something. It is polite to say hello to the person first and agree on a time before going. There are knots. And he also learned the experience and lessons of giving gifts to Pei Yan, showed sincerity and told the truth.
Shopkeeper Tong Er was really happy to receive the pastry, because Yu Tang sent the pastry in the name of Yu Yuan. Shopkeeper Tong Er asked the boy to reply and also bring it to Yu Yuan, saying that there would be a banquet in the backyard of the shop tomorrow night. , please Yu Yuan go over and have a drink.
Yu Tang took the initiative and agreed on Yu Yuan's behalf, and asked the guy to help buy a few jars of fine Jinhua wine, waiting for Yu Yuan to come back.
Yu Yuan came back before curfew.
After drinking, his face was red, his eyes were a little straight, and his words were confused.
Yu Tang has no choice but to wait for the money from the map auction to buy a personal servant for Yu Yuan. Their family is not a wealthy family, and the servant who used to follow Yu Yuan said that he was to serve Yu Yuan. , actually serving his uncle most of the time. Moreover, Yu Yuan is getting married soon. Although Miss Xiang grew up on a farm, she is not short of money. I am afraid there will be several waiters around by then. She cannot let her eldest cousin be too shabby.
I can’t stop thinking about it.
She stuffed a few coins into the inn and asked the boy at the inn to help Yu Yuan clean up, while she went to find the proprietress and ask her to help introduce a reliable nanny she knew well to buy a personal servant for Yu Yuan. .
The landlady was quite surprised and said with a smile: "Oh, your family's life is getting better and better these days."
In a family like the Yu family, the people who serve around them are usually not so clearly distinguished. This time I wanted to make a special trip to buy someone for Yu Yuan. If his family hadn't made a fortune, he wouldn't have been so generous.
Yu Tang had no intention of saying more and said with a smile: "My brother is about to get married, so I can't afford not to have someone running errands around me."
"That's true." The landlady agreed with a smile and went to busy looking for Yu Tang's person. Yu Yuan woke up early the next morning with a headache so bad that he wanted to hit the wall. Yu Tang, who came in with breakfast, didn't look good on him.
"You deserve it!" Yu Tang said, "Who asked you to drink so much? There is no one around to follow you. What will you do if you fall somewhere? You promised me to take good care of myself!"
Yu Yuan smiled sheepishly and said to please her: "Ah Tang, I helped you find out yesterday. If there is nothing important at the Gu family, Miss Gu's nurse should go to the shop to see her tomorrow. Son. Speaking of which, it’s quite a coincidence that Yao San’er’s shop is right behind Gu’s shop. Yao San’er not only knows Miss Gu’s wet nurse’s son, but also knows several shopkeepers in their shop. According to reports, He said that their third shopkeeper was a talker and liked to talk about other things. Because of this, their boss was very dissatisfied with him. He also knew in his heart that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that he still had some love with the Gu family. Find a smaller shop and be the shopkeeper. I heard that I came from Lin'an City and wanted to open a shop in Hangzhou City. He was particularly enthusiastic about me. I drank too much today because he kept urging me to drink at the banquet. ."
Very few shopkeepers will change their owners. If they do, the new owner will not dare to use this person without a recommendation letter from the old owner.
When Yu Tang heard that the third shopkeeper was arrogant, he didn’t like it and said, “If you came to Hangzhou to open a shop, would you use this person?”
"No!" Yu Yuan doesn't like people who talk nonsense either.
Yu Tang thought of what Pei Yan had taught her and said: "We are using him to use him, but we cannot let him think that we will ask him to be the shopkeeper in the future. These two things must be clearly distinguished."
It's not good to have a grudge.
Yu Yuan covered his head that started to hurt again and said in a low voice: "I know. It was Yao San'er. He was afraid that I would be looked down upon by them, so he said that I would come to Hangzhou to open a shop. I said at that time, I I really want to come, but my dad won’t let me. Eight or nine times out of ten, I won’t be able to do this. The most I can do is come over and have a look, just to have a good time.”
Yu Tang nodded.
Yu Yuan talked about the Sheng family’s lacquerware shop: “As soon as I walked in, I felt that the things in their shop were very good. But if I took a closer look, I saw that they were not too expensive. Of course, there are some things. They are very expensive, but I always feel that they are expensive for a reason. And the patterns of their lacquerware are really novel. If nothing else, it is also Fu Lu Shou's lacquer box, and their carving , lifelike, our family really can’t compare, not to mention that their family also has such crafts as 'lining color and mother-of-pearl'..."
As he spoke, his expression became depressed.
"I didn't have the nerve to look any further. It happened that the appointment time with Yao San'er was coming soon, so I left quickly. I'll think about it when I come back. I have to go take a look today."
Yu Tang could feel the pain in his heart.
Although Yu Yuan is a young boss and has followed Yu Bo to some places, he is just a young man who has not yet reached his prime. He has just arrived, and Hangzhou, the first city in the south of the Yangtze River where famous brands, famous stores and famous products are gathered, will definitely have some kind of feeling. Zhuyu felt uncomfortable at her side.
In her previous life, when she first married into the Li family, she had such an inferiority complex when facing the beautiful and generous Gu Xi.
"I'll go with you." Yu Tang said, "I happen to be about to leave the court. If the 'lining color diamond' is as good as the legend, I can accompany my mother and eldest aunt in the spring of next year. When you come here, you can also buy one or two items to take home."
Mainly because she went shopping in the Sheng family's shop like this, it gave Yu Yuan enough reasons~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Yuan had the confidence to behave and act in a confident manner. The shopkeepers and clerks in those shops They are all sharp-eyed and think a lot. When they find that they are wearing coarse clothes but dare to look at their things at will, they will definitely think that they are the children of some wealthy family who have come out to experience, and naturally they will not dare to neglect them.
The eldest cousin can also learn some ways of dealing with others through this incident.
Yu Tang secretly nodded for his idea, inexplicably thinking of Pei Yan who was wearing simple fine cloth but playing with rare objects.
It is easy for those who look down upon others to fall into disgrace.
Yu Tang suddenly felt Pei Yan's bad taste.
She couldn't help wiping the non-existent sweat on her forehead, and then told Yu Yuan about Shopkeeper Tong Er's treat: "We are going out for a walk today and have to come back early in the evening. You can also take the opportunity to ask Shopkeeper Tong Er for advice. Let’s learn about the business experience of Hangzhou City.”
Yu Yuan was a little nervous.
This is the first time that he has left the leadership of his father and uncle to entertain seniors with status like Shopkeeper Tong Er alone. But he's not one to back down. Since Yu Tang has already planned it for him, he will try his best to do it well.
As for today's day, they decided to visit the lacquerware shop of Chengsheng's family in Hangzhou in the morning, and in the afternoon go to Yao San'er's place to meet the third shopkeeper of the Gu family and talk about the Li family. It would be best if Gu Xi's wet nurse happened to be there at that time. go through.
After making up their minds, the brother and sister had breakfast, changed into clean and tidy clothes, and headed to Wulin Gate.
