Delicate Flower Chapter 156: Uncomfortable
Ever since Pei Yan gave Jiang Chao a large sum of money to revive his family business, Mr. Wu praised Pei Yan to the sky in private, and even Mrs. Wu looked at Pei Yan in a different light. Mrs. Chen, who was grateful to Pei Yan, also felt that Miss Gu was not worthy of Pei Yan.
Mrs. Wu even said to Chen: "Don't your A-Tang often go to the Pei Mansion to greet Lao An? Is Mrs. Shen here to be a matchmaker for Miss Gu? You asked your A-Tang to go to the Pei Mansion? Please be more careful when traveling! Mrs. Shen and Miss Gu are still living in Pei Mansion!"
Ms. Chen didn’t want Yu Tang to get involved in this matter, so she declined politely: "What does she know about a little girl who has never left the court? It would be unsightly if she made Lao An unhappy. ”
Although Mrs. Wu just said this, she still said unfairly when she heard Chen's answer: "If the third master of the Pei family marries Miss Gu, I will definitely take a detour when I meet Miss Gu in the future."
Who says it’s not!
Ms. Chen sighed deeply in her heart.
Originally she had no idea who Pei Yan would marry, but after hearing what Mrs. Wu said, she felt a little uncomfortable thinking that Pei Yan might become the son-in-law of the Gu family. After seeing off Mrs. Wu, Yu Tang helped her bring new clothes prepared for ancestor worship in a few days. She couldn't help but talk about this matter to Yu Tang, and asked Yu Tang: "Did you meet Shen What did Mrs. Shen say to Mr. Lao An that day? Did Miss Gu act special in front of Mr. Lao An?"
When Yu Tang heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
Pei Yan and Gu Xi...who spread this rumor? ! They are so good at pulling off jokes! Is it okay for Pei Yan and Gu Xi to be separated by generations? !
No, it was her fault.
Pei Yan was about the same age as Gu Chang, and he had served as an official in the same dynasty.
If it weren't for the inherent impression from her previous life that she and Gu Xi were the same, she wouldn't have thought that Gu Xi and Pei Yan were different in generation.
In this way, it is really possible that Gu Xi will marry Pei Yan!
But Gu Xi marrying Pei Yan... Yu Tang can't imagine what that would be like.
But what if Gu Xi really marries Pei Yan?
Yu Tang suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a fly.
Not only was it disgusting, but it was also unacceptable.
Pei Yan and Gu Xi...how can this be done!
Is Gu Xi worthy of Pei Yan?
Why should she marry Pei Yan? !
Yu Tang stood up suddenly and walked around the room like a trapped animal.
No, she can't let Gu Xi marry Pei Yan!
Gu Xi is a hypocrite, a fake generous person, and a person of low moral character!
No one should marry Pei Yan to Gu Xi!
She has to talk to Pei Yan.
Yu Tang thought so in his heart, and walked towards the door with his feet as he pleased.
"What are you doing?" She was about to reach the door, but was grabbed by Mrs. Chen.
Ms. Chen looked at a loss and said: "I was telling you about Mr. Pei San, why did you turn around and leave, muttering like you don't know what you were talking about..."
Isn’t this child a demon?
Ms. Chen looked her daughter up and down nervously.
Yu Tang came back to his senses due to the pain of his arm being tightened.
She...what happened to her? Why would you rush to warn Pei Yan?
Not to mention that the matter between Pei Yan and Gu Xi was just heard by her mother. Even if the Pei family really wanted to discuss marriage with the Gu family, what would it have to do with her?
Besides, the grudge between her and Gu Xi is between them. Pei Yan is resourceful and Lao An is smart and capable. Which one is not better than her? Why did she think Gu Xi and Pei Yan were inappropriate?
Whether Gu Xi and Pei Yan are suitable for each other should be judged by the Pei family, instead of making a self-righteous decision on behalf of the Pei family because she and Gu Xi are not on good terms, thinking that Gu Xi and Pei Yan are not suitable, right?
Yu Tang took a deep breath, suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart, and said to his mother: "I heard that the Gu family intended to marry the Pei family. I was so surprised that I lost my temper for a moment..."
Ms. Chen didn't think much about it, and sighed: "Don't mention it, even I was shocked when I heard it at first. But if I think about it carefully, it makes sense that the Gu family wants to marry the Pei family - looking at it In the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are few men who have not yet been engaged who can compare to the third master of the Pei family. If I were Miss Gu's mother, I would also have this idea. I just thought about what I heard before, Mrs. Pei is still alive. I once said that Mr. Pei San’s marriage must be with a girl from a high-ranking family of third rank or above. Now that Mr. Pei is gone, Mr. Pei San’s marriage has been delayed..."
Taking care of the family is simply not up to the standards of Mr. Pei.
No wonder she feels bad.
Chen and Yu Tang thought at the same time, and both found a reason to explain their discomfort, and they both calmed down.
Yu Tang also carefully recalled the scene when she met Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi that day: "If you don't tell me, I really haven't thought about it. Lao An clearly doesn't want to see Mrs. Shen, and Miss Gu Well, she was a little too lively in front of Lao An. It felt like she was doing this deliberately to please Lao An. Now it seems that they insist on living in the Pei family, and they really seem to have a purpose. ."
Actually, Gu Xi behaved quite normally in front of Lao An, but it was just that Yu Tang had lived with Gu Xi in his previous life, and Gu Xi married into the Li family and then down the family, and she always carried the A bit of airs. This life is different from the previous life, Yu Tang can feel it immediately.
Ms. Chen was speechless: "If this thing comes to pass, it shows that the old saying, 'The brave will be starved to death, and the timid will starve to death' is really true. Then I will be bold and ask Mr. Shen to help you in the Shen family. It’s better to choose a man of good character among his children to be your son-in-law. Anyway, if you don’t try some things, you will never know whether you can succeed.”
Did Gu Xi open up Chen's horizons?
Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled, but for some reason, there was always a faint sadness in her heart, which she couldn't understand.
After worshiping ancestors on the first day of October, every household will begin to prepare for the New Year.
Hu Xing suddenly accompanied Aunt Ji to the Yu family to visit the Chen family. He said that Pei Lao'an was going to stay in a villa on Beitianmu Mountain for a few days. He wanted to ask Yu Tang to stay with Lao An for a few days. Chen disagrees.
Ms. Chen didn’t want Yu Tang to live in another courtyard. It was obvious that Aunt Ji came to invite her in person and said a lot, "Lao An likes Miss Yu very much. The second wife and fifth lady also stayed with her in the other courtyard." Stay here, I will be back in ten days and a half at most, you can just ask Miss Yu to visit me." Chen felt a little embarrassed to refuse, so she asked Yu Tang privately what she meant.
Although there is a brazier burning at home, it is still very cold without the brazier.
Yu Tang thought about the floor cage in Lao Anren's house and wanted to go.
Ms. Chen couldn't laugh or cry, and tapped Yu Tang's forehead: "You will suffer big losses if you take advantage of small things. When the time comes, don't come back crying and ask me to make chrysanthemum tea for you."
Yu Tang chuckled, but in her heart she wondered if Gu Xi and Mrs. Shen had returned to Hangzhou City? Is it true that Lao An missed her when she went to stay in Pei Mansion's villa this time? If Gu Xi and Mrs. Shen had not left, how should she treat these two people when she met them?
She was thinking wildly while instructing Shuangtao to pack her clothes. On the day she made an appointment with the Pei family, she took Shuangtao and went out with Aunt Ji accompanying her.
The villa of Pei Mansion is built on the mountainside of Beitianmu Mountain, only half a day's journey from Lin'an City.
All along the way, you can see the lush and green towering trees and the quiet bluestone corridors winding up the mountain. If it weren’t for the biting cold wind blowing in when you lift the sedan curtain and look out, it would make people misunderstand that this is the right time. midsummer. The other courtyard of the Pei Mansion is located among the cover of lush trees. It has white walls, gray tiles, and a black Ruyi door. Only one door is exposed, which can only accommodate a sedan chair. But after entering and bypassing a gray brick screen wall with the character "福" upside down, there is a different world inside.
The green rockery, the majestic open hall, the deep winding path, the exquisite pavilion...it turned out to be a large house that is not inferior to the Pei Mansion.
As Aunt Ji led the way, she turned around and talked to Yu Tang from time to time: "The Pei family lived here at first. Later, it was inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, so we built the current one in Xiaomei Lane. Pei Mansion, the Pei Mansion over there is in the city. It is more convenient for the gentlemen to do business and the young gentlemen to study. Gradually, people only come to live here when they are doing repairs. And because it is an ancestral property, this The house is owned by the clan, so there are even fewer people living here. But when the old man was still there, he liked to live here, and even Lao An also liked to live here. When the old man first went there, Lao An was I want to move here, but the third master is not married yet, and Lao An has to help adjust the housework in each room in the clan for a while. It is not convenient for Lao An to move in, so it keeps dragging on. Now."
Yu Tang looked at the house here with its painted pillars and whitewashed walls. It didn’t look like it was in any decay. It would cost a lot of money to repair it every year. He couldn’t help but said: “Then if Lao An really moved here, wouldn’t you? Come with me too."
Aunt Ji nodded and said with a smile: "So after the old master went, those young or uneasy ones were let out. Most of the people Lao An stays with to serve are worldly servants like me. Then there are people like Pearl and Amber who grew up around Lao'an people."
The two of them were talking and soon arrived at the main room of the east cross courtyard where Lao An rested.
Yu Tang first went to the east wing of the backyard where she lived to place the things she brought.
A rush of heat hit my face as I walked in.
Even her guest room has been burned. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Tang was very surprised, but the joints all over her body seemed to come alive and made her feel more comfortable. She was so comfortable that she wanted to throw herself on the bed.
She freshened up and changed her clothes before following Aunt Ji to greet Lao An.
Lao An looked a little tired. Seven or eight maids and women were waiting beside him. She was teasing an oriole with a straw.
Yu Tang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Lao An put down the straw in his hand, and a little maid came forward to lift the birdcage to another place, and took a handkerchief to wipe Lao An's hands.
"You're here." Lao An looked kindly, wiped his hands and asked Yu Tang to sit down on the embroidered pier next to him, and said, "Is your mother in good health? If I call you over, she will definitely be reluctant to part with you. I Let’s apologize to her first.”
"You are serious." Yu Tang stood up again and said respectfully, "Mother is a little reluctant to let me go. It's not that she doesn't want me to accompany you. It's because she feels that the weather is cold and she has to use charcoal everywhere, and she's afraid of bothering you. ."
