Delicate Flower Chapter 138: Comer

I have never seen Yu Tang and Pei Yan like this.

The mood is low, like a flower that has been beaten by a violent storm, wilting.

Pei Yan felt a little uncomfortable looking at it.

He still likes to see her in high spirits, especially when she talks about other people's gossip, her eyes sparkle, her cheeks are as bright as peach plums, and even her eyes are filled with joy, bright and dazzling, just like those in winter. A ray of sunshine makes people feel a little happy just looking at it.

This may be why when he saw the Boxing Day list, he moved the Yu family's name to another account book. Even when he heard about the Li family's accident, he was still wondering whether Miss Yu would do anything if she heard about it. Just like last time, I ran to him to gloat about my misfortune.

Of course, he knew that he was wrong to think so.

But Miss Yu is just a little girl, a woman who was raised in a boudoir, and may have only read one copy of "The Classic of Filial Piety", so there is no need to ask her like those scholars.

Who knew that the Li family's affairs had spread quietly, but there was still no movement from Miss Yu's side.

At that time, he asked A Ming to check whether the Yu family's Mid-Autumn Festival gifts had been delivered, thinking that Miss Yu might come to their house to gossip with him. I never thought that the Yu family would be among the first batch of gifts for their family, and they had sent them there long ago. The Yu family's return gifts have not been sent back to this day.

Pei Yan thought that maybe every family's etiquette was different, and many families liked to wait until the holidays before giving gifts to show their sincerity.

He put the matter behind him for the time being.

It wasn't until he visited Shen Shanyan today and accidentally saw Wei Xiaochuan when he was leaving the county to study. He suddenly became interested and made a special trip to the Yu family, only then did he know that such a big thing had happened to the Yu family.

Who still has the heart to send boxing gifts!

No wonder he hasn't received a return gift from the Yu family yet.

Pei Yan thought, feeling angry and funny. What makes her angry is that even at this juncture, Yu Tang still helps that person named Jiang Chao to speak. What’s funny is that she stands here with her head bowed, without any of her usual flair. Is it the first time in her life that she bows her head like this?

"Okay, I will ask about this matter." He said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, so you can happily spend the festival with your family. Over in Ningbo Mansion, our family also For some small businesses, I will ask people to inquire about them to see if there is anything left in the Wang family, and then let them make up for your family first."

The Pei family also has business in Ningbo?

Yu Tang looked up at Pei Yan and blinked.

Why are their businesses everywhere?

Where is their business?

Pei Yan thought in his heart that the greater the risk, the greater the reward. What's more, Mr. Wu's decision to buy shares in the Wu family is his own, so the Yu family doesn't have to worry about him at all. But he understands that people like Mr. Yu would rather suffer losses themselves than let others suffer losses. In addition, the money from the map auction is free, so you don't have to worry about spending it, and you have more money.

But he didn't want to think about it. He didn't have much wealth in the first place, and he still wanted to keep the girl at home to recruit a son-in-law. How could he possibly recruit a better son-in-law if he didn't save more money.

Yu Wen is not reliable either.

Pei Yan let out a long breath, a little worried about the girl in front of him. It would be a pity if this was delayed by his father and brother at home.

Yu Tang just wanted to explain to Pei Yan so that he could forgive him for not returning the gift to the Pei family in time. He never expected that this matter would involve Pei Yan again.

She said hurriedly: "This is not a good thing, so please don't interfere. Since Mr. Jiang promised that the money recovered will be returned to our family first, he will definitely return it to our family. We will wait. Say it again."

Do you believe in Jiang Chao so much?

Pei Yan was noncommittal.

It would be best if Jiang Chao could return part of the money to the Yu family. If it was just to deal with the Yu family, it would be fine to let Miss Yu teach him a lesson.

He said: "That being the case, I will go back first. When Master Yu comes back, I will visit him again when I have time."

Yu Tang could feel Pei Yan's kindness.

Although what he says is unpleasant most of the time, his intentions are good.

Of course she thanked him again and again, and sent Pei Yan off to the sedan chair. She didn't go home until the sedan chair was carried out of the back alley and disappeared. But as soon as she got home, she hurried to Granny Chen: "Have our family prepared all the festive gifts for the Pei family? Did Dad say when they will be delivered?"

If Mrs. Chen is not in good health, it is customary to leave these matters at home to Mrs. Chen.

Mr. Chen is slicing ginseng, preparing to stew an old hen for Mrs. Chen to replenish her body. Hearing this, she smiled and put the cut ginseng slices into the small celadon bowl at hand, and then said with a smile: "The master said that the heart-clearing paper is so rare, no gift can be given in return for the Pei family's." For the Spring Festival, just give some ordinary things like moon cakes and fabrics. This time I was in a hurry, and even if I tried hard, I couldn't think of a good gift. I could only wait until the Spring Festival before fully preparing for the Spring Festival. ”

Yes, her mother is still ill.

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly and watched his father put four boxes of various mooncakes and two pieces of Kesi materials into gift boxes, and asked Yu Yuan to send them to Pei Mansion.

Kesi is not rare, but it is more expensive than gold. Although this gift seems ordinary, it can be considered sincere.

After a few days of rest, Chen was able to get out of bed soon and start taking care of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yu Wen discussed with Mr. Chen whether to invite Mr. Wu to his home for the holidays this year. He also said, "I usually see him as bold and cheerful, and likes to make friends and help his neighbors, but I feel that he has not read much besides books. He's a pretty good person. I didn't expect him to really regard money as dirt. This time we did business together, and I realized that there was someone beside me who was worthy of my friendship. It shows that I usually despise him."

Mr. Chen pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "How about the distance that leads to a horse's power, and the passage of time can tell a person's heart!"

While the two were talking, Mr. Wu came to Yu Wen with a look on his face and said, "Fortunately, you offered to send some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to the Jiang family. Guess what? When our general manager went to send some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, he happened to meet A few gangsters who went to Suzhou took advantage of Mr. Jiang's absence to bully their family, which only had a widowed mother, and they were causing trouble in the Jiang family!"

After hearing this, Yu Wen said angrily: "Why are there still such people? If you have anything to do, go and tell Mr. Jiang. What's going on when you see someone's son not at home and bully a widowed old lady? What happened next? How are you doing? Have you reported it to the official or invited relatives and friends of the Jiang family to help?"

Master Wu sighed: "It is useless to report to the official. I heard that the chief manager of our family came back and said that those gangsters were ordered by the maiden brother of the prefect's concubine. I thought that the prefect's concubine was probably also involved. . Fortunately, my aunt from the Jiang family married nearby. When the general manager of our family was in trouble, my aunt from the Jiang family rushed over and took Jiang Lao'an to her home."

Yu Wen couldn't help but feel very emotional when he heard this, and said: "At this time, the less we can force Mr. Jiang to pay back the money."

Master Wu nodded.

The two chatted, and Yu Wen invited Mr. Wu and his family to come over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. He pointed to the crabs raised at home and said: "This year we will have a crab feast."

Master Wu turned out to be a crab lover, so he happily agreed immediately and said, "Don't worry about the tea and wine. I'll bring it over when the time comes. The fifty-year-old daughter is still the same as when my great-aunt was born. I’ll bury it later.”

Yu Wen was so happy that his eyes narrowed to slits. When he returned to the room, he discussed with Mrs. Chen: "I think our family's investment is just a sum of money. We don't lack these orphans and widowers." Money is not easy for everyone."

Mr. Chen said: "You can make the decision on our family's affairs." Then she asked strangely, "Why didn't you discuss it with Mr. Wu when Mr. Wu was here just now?"

Yu Wen said: "Our family's money is our family's business, and Mr. Wu's money is Mr. Wu's business. If I had said this to Mr. Wu just now, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Mr. Wu can only follow my answer. "Excuse me, am I not making things difficult for him? This is not what a friend would do."

Chen praised him repeatedly.

Yu Tang felt complicated after knowing it, but joy still prevailed.

She took the time to go back to her old house and went to the mountain to look at the saplings. Seeing that the saplings were growing well, she rewarded Wang Si and the forest guard each with one tael of silver to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and brought back half a cart of peanuts.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Chen urged Yu Tang to get up early, and the two of them prepared for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the evening. However, a man with a servant came to the door of Yu's house and asked to see Yu Wen.

He is only twenty-three or four years old. He is tall and wears a very respectable maroon-red auspicious cloud pattern five-bat tunic. He has a fair face, handsome facial features, and a tall body, but only for his eyes. It was covered with red bloodshot eyes and looked very tired.

He personally came forward and knocked on the door, claiming to be Jiang Chao from Suzhou Prefecture.

The person who opened the door was Atiao. Even if no one came to tell him specifically, he had heard about some changes in his family. His face changed drastically when he heard this. He rudely left the person outside the door and ran towards the courtyard. , while running, he shouted loudly: "Master, Master, Mr. Jiang from Suzhou Prefecture is here."

Yu Wenzheng and Mr. Chen were discussing what utensils to use for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet later. They looked stunned after hearing this, and it took them a while to realize who was coming.

Hearing the commotion, Yu Tang ran out first and said, "Mr. Jiang? Is it the Mr. Jiang who did business with Dad?"

A Tiao nodded excitedly and said, "He said his surname was Jiang."

Yu Wen said hurriedly: "Please come quickly! Please come quickly!" He also told Shuangtao~IndoMTL.com~ to go and tell Mr. Wu next door and tell Mr. Jiang from Suzhou Prefecture that he is here. ”

The two peaches responded and left.

Yu Wen went to welcome Jiang Chao in person.

Yu Tang and Mrs. Chen hid in the screen next to the hall and watched.

Jiang Chao bowed deeply to Yu Wen as soon as he came in, and said with red eyes: "I heard my mother say after I went back that if it weren't for you and Mr. Wu, my mother would have been humiliated. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. , please accept my worship."

After saying that, he was about to give a big gift to Yu Wen, but Yu Wen grabbed him and said hurriedly: "You don't have to be so polite. No matter who encounters such a thing, he will lend a hand to help. Besides, it is the elder of the Wu family who saves people. Manager, it has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Chao shook his head, as if he had a thousand words but didn't know how to say them well.

Yu Wen thoughtfully brushed off the topic and asked with concern: "Have you ever been frightened, Lao An? What's going on now? Why did you come to Lin'an suddenly?"

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival!
