Delicate Flower Chapter 103: New Year

On New Year's Eve, they worshiped their ancestors. On the first day of the new year, Yu Wen and Yu Bo took Yu Yuan to pay New Year's greetings to the Pei family.

More than half of the people in Lin'an City will go to pay New Year's greetings to the Pei family. If everyone in the Pei family met, they would probably be foaming at the mouth from exhaustion. Therefore, the so-called New Year greetings to the Pei family are just a matter of writing a name note and dropping it in the big red book basket at the door of the Pei family. Afterwards, a steward will register the records and report them to the head of the Pei family.

Yu Wen, Yu Bo and Yu Yuan quickly squeezed out from the crowded door of Pei's house, and then went to pay New Year's greetings to other squire families.

There is also a book basket set up at the entrance of the Yu family. People who have friendships with the Yu family and those scholars who come to pay New Year greetings do not come in. They only put a name card in the book basket, and some even do not need to come by themselves. Just send a servant or steward from home.

Yu Tang, along with Chen and Wang, are at home preparing gifts for Yu Yuan to go to Xiang's house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, most passenger ships had stopped. Xiang’s family was in Fuyang, so Yu Yuan couldn’t go back and forth on the same day, so he had to stay at Xiang’s family for one day.

Yu Tang put the carefully made hair flowers in her own small red box and put them into Yu Yuan's baggage. She also told Mrs. Wang: "Auntie, don't forget to tell me. , lest he regard this flower as something for the prime minister's family."

Wang originally liked Yu Tang, not to mention that now that Yu Tang planned everything for Yu Yuan, she liked him even more.

"I know." She couldn't help pinching Yu Tang's pink face and said with a smile, "Don't worry, when your sister-in-law comes in, I will ask her to make shoes for you."

Yu Tang laughed happily and teased Mrs. Wang: "Don't worry, when my sister-in-law gives me a fat nephew, I will make clothes for my nephew."

"This little girl!" Mrs. Wang smiled and slapped Yu Tang's hand, then turned to Mrs. Chen who was busy loading maltose for Yu Yuan and said, "I don't know when I learned to be so eloquent. From now on, our family will Don’t be afraid to argue with others when you have something to do.”

Ms. Chen glanced at Yu Tang with an indulgent smile and said, "Sister-in-law, just spoil her, she is getting more and more reluctant to restrain herself."

"It's better to be more powerful!" Ms. Wang let Yu Tang go, and together with Ms. Chen, she put the prepared things into the basket and ordered Sanmu to call Xia Pinggui.

Sanmu is the boy that Yu Bo bought for Yu Yuan years ago. Because the boy had just arrived at Yu's house and there was no time to teach him the rules. This time Yu Yuan went to Xiang's house, Yu Bo asked Xia Pinggui to go with him, so that he would have someone who could help him with anything.

Miki is a boy who is more honest than clever. He is only twelve years old after the New Year. When he heard the words, he immediately responded with a naive voice and ran away.

Ms. Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried when she looked at it, and said, "It doesn't matter if you follow this kid, right? This is Ayuan's first time going to Yue's house, so don't delay anything because this kid is not smart."

Wang sighed: "After choosing, this is the best. At that time, I will have to ask A Tiao to watch over him."

Neither Lao An nor Mr. Xiang of the Xiang family said anything about the marriage, but the three aunts and the six wives of the Xiang family felt that Miss Xiang had married under a young man and did not think highly of the Yu family.

The Yu family may not care about these in-laws, but they are afraid of wronging Miss Xiang. They are afraid that there will not even be anyone around to serve Yu Yuan when he leaves. Yu Wen makes the decision and asks A Tiao to follow him to Fuyang.

The sisters-in-law said a few more words, and asked the literate Yu Tang to help check if there were any mistakes or omissions on the gift list. Miki suddenly turned back and stammered: "Madam, two Madam, Pei Mansion, the third manager of Pei Mansion has come to deliver name cards to our family."

Wang and Chen looked at each other and hurriedly led Yu Tang out.

Firstly, Hu Xing often brought Dr. Yang to check Chen's pulse these days. He saw her more often, and his friendship with Hu Xing became more and more special. Secondly, Hu Xing is the third manager of the Pei family and represents the face of the Pei family. He came to pay New Year's greetings to the Yu family. The Yu family had to invite him in for a cup of tea no matter what, just to be polite.

I just don’t know if Hu Xing is here on behalf of the Pei Mansion or just on behalf of himself?

Yu Tang pondered in his mind and followed his mother and aunt to the gate.

Hu Xing wore a dark red silk robe with a chinchilla fur collar. He was beaming when he saw Wang and others hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying: "The third master asked me to come here. Madam , Second Madam, happy New Year!" After saying that, he looked up and saw Yu Tang standing behind Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen, and wished Yu Tang another happy new year.

He actually sent the family's well-known third manager to pay New Year's greetings to the Yu family. This was a very honorable thing.

Wang, along with Chen and Yu Tang, hurriedly returned the gift to Hu Xing.

Hu Xing said: "I still have a few people here to pay New Year's greetings, so I won't greet you. When I have some free time, I will come to visit Mr. Yu."

Ms. Chen kept saying "I don't dare" and wanted to send Hu Xing out of Qingzhu Lane.

Hu Xing said with a smile: "Fellows from my hometown, please don't be polite to me. It's so cold, you'd better go back to the house and rest early! If something happens to the cold, I won't be able to see Mr. Yu." ”

He insisted not to let Mrs. Chen send him off. Seeing that he was sincere, Mrs. Chen was not polite to him. She packed some home-made maltose and sent him to the gate. After Hu Xing left, he couldn't help but said to Mr. Wang: "When the shop opened last time, I saw Manager Hu as if he was mourning for his heir. Why is he so happy now?"

"I'm afraid something good happened to me?" Mrs. Wang guessed with a smile, "Mr. Hu is a pretty good person. He must have been unhappy for a while at that time!"

Although they were familiar with Hu Xing, those matters were Hu Xing's own business after all. The two of them discussed it for a few words and then forgot about it, worrying about Yu Yuan's visit to Xiang's house.

As soon as Hu Xing came out of Qingzhu Lane, his face collapsed.

After he made his own decision last time, Pei Yan left him alone, as if he was no longer the third manager. The housekeepers at home were all smart people, so they quickly isolated him. If Yang Yuyi didn't know about the Pei family, he thought that after he asked the eldest wife and Mrs. Yu to have a safe pulse before coming to Lin'an, it would be after the dragon raised his head on the second day of February, so he sent his servant to contact him directly. He, please tell the eldest wife and Mrs. Yu. If he hadn't had the courage to report to Pei Yan, and seeing that Pei Man had no idea what he was busy with these days, and racked his brains to find a way to accept this job, he would have been relegated to the cold palace by Pei Yan. , just waiting to be kicked out of the Pei Mansion one day and retire to a farm in some corner.

However, what is the relationship between the third master and the Yu family?

If they were just ordinary neighbors, the Miss Yu family could ask to see the third master at any time. If there is anything unusual about it, the third master doesn't seem to take the Yu family's affairs particularly seriously. He would think about it when someone mentions it. When I got up, it was forgotten without anyone mentioning it.

Just like this New Year greeting, if Imperial Physician Yang had something to do and needed to inform Mrs. Yu in advance, and Pei Man was extremely busy, it would not have been his turn to deliver notes to the Yu family.

Does he want to go to the Yu family?

Hu Xing, who prides himself on being an all-rounder, was indecisive for the first time.

On Yutang's side, naturally he didn't know that a greeting card could give Hu Xing many thoughts. Yu Yuan went to Fuyang on the second day of the Lunar New Year and came back on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The two families sat around the table nervously and asked Yu Yuan about his visit to Xiang's house. Yu Yuan blinked at Yu Tang before saying, "Although Mrs. Xiang doesn't like Miss Xiang, she can't tolerate others." Watching her jokes behind her back. When I went to the prime minister's house this time, the prime minister's wife was very protective and didn't make any excessive demands, and no one ignored me."

Yu Wen and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Yu Tang knew that Yu Yuan had something to say to her, so she found an opportunity to meet Yu Yuan alone in the tea room.

Yu Yuan asked Sanmu to guard the door of the tea room, and whispered to Yu Tang: "It turns out that Mrs. Xiang and Miss Gu's aunt are close friends. I accidentally heard people around Mrs. Xiang say that during the Chinese New Year, Miss Gu There was such a big fuss that Mr. Gu was very angry. On the first day of the new year, he closed the door to thank guests. All social activities at home were handled by the eldest uncle. Do you think this marriage in the Li family will be okay? So it failed?"

Yu Tang chuckled and said: "Fail or not, the Gu family will not be able to live well, and the Li family will not have a good life." At this point, she gloated and asked Yu Yuan, "Brother, what do you mean? Should we send someone to keep an eye on the Li family? It would be more interesting if something happened during the Chinese New Year!"

Yu Yuan nodded repeatedly and said: "I'll let Sanmu keep an eye on it, just so he can practice his skills."

"Let Ah Liu go!" Yu Tang said, "We can't be so obvious!"

The brother and sister looked at each other and laughed, Yu Yuan went to arrange the matter and did not mention it.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the whole family went to pay New Year greetings to the Wei family. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Tang made a special trip to see Ma Xiuniang and made an appointment to watch the lanterns together the next day. Unexpectedly, when I returned home, I found that the door was closed and there was no excitement at all during the New Year.

She was startled and asked Shuangtao to knock on the door.

Miki's timid voice came from the door: "Who, who?"

"Miss is back." Shuangtao said loudly.

The door opened with a creak~IndoMTL.com~ Miki shouted "Miss" with a frustrated expression, turned sideways and let them in.

Shuangtao asked: "What happened?"

Sanmu looked around and saw no one else, so he pulled Shuangtao in and said to Yu Tang fearfully: "Miss, the master has gone to shopkeeper Tong Da and is not at home. Mrs. Li came to the house just now to cause trouble. She was locked out by the second wife. She said a lot of unpleasant things through the door. When she saw that the second wife was angry and wanted to go to the Li family's clan judge, she left."

Yu Tang's face sank, and he hurried to Chen's inner room and asked Sanmu: "Have you ever gone to report a message to my father?"

"Go!" Sanmu quickly chased after Yu Tang, "A Tiao has already gone to find the master."

"What about my mother?" Yu Tang asked.

"Mr. Chen went to find the eldest wife." Miki said, "The eldest wife is talking to the second wife!"

Yu Tang felt at ease, lifted the cotton curtain of Chen's inner room and walked in.

"Mom!" she shouted, and couldn't help but froze when she saw Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Wang sitting opposite each other with smiles on their faces.

"A'Tang is back!" Wang smiled and waved to Yu Tang, "Come here and sit down!" and asked her with concern, "Are you hungry? Do you want Shuangtao to make you a bowl of sesame paste?"

Yu Tang looked at Mrs. Chen, then at Mrs. Wang, and said in confusion: "Didn't you say that Mrs. Li came to make trouble?"

Why are her mother and her aunt smiling?

What happened that she doesn't know about?
