Delicate Flower Chapter 162: Note
Since Yu Tang knew that Miss Fifth could not play in the snow, of course she had to keep an eye on her. But this way, she wouldn't have much time to play by herself. She had been naughty with some little girls all morning, and when she came to rest, she was already sweating through her clothes.
In this kind of weather and state, it is easy to catch a cold.
Yu Tang decided to go back to his room to change clothes.
But the second wife warned her: "It's okay, don't be anxious. Go back and take a shower, dry your hair and then come back. We'll wait for you to have lunch."
I feel sticky, so it would be nice to take a shower.
Yu Tang said goodbye to his second wife, but met Aunt Ji halfway.
"Miss Yu!" Aunt Ji stepped forward with a smile and saluted her, and said, "The concierge said that you have sent a letter from your home. I just went to the concierge to get the letter and was about to send it to you. !"
Yu Tang was shocked.
Is there something going on at home?
She thanked Aunt Ji, but she couldn't help but have random thoughts in her heart.
My mother’s medicine has not been stopped and her health is getting better and better. She didn’t get sick last year. She is being taken care of as carefully as she was in previous years. Is there any change? My sister-in-law's eldest aunt and cousin treat her like a treasure, and the whole family surrounds her. My sister-in-law's body and bones are very healthy, so there shouldn't be anything wrong... Why on earth did the family write to her?
She hurriedly said goodbye to Aunt Ji, returned to her place of residence in three steps at a time, and couldn't wait to open the letter.
After just one glance, she relaxed.
It turned out that Mr. Zhang had painted ten paintings. Her eldest cousin couldn't make up his mind, so he passed the paintings to her and asked her to look at them and make up her mind.
Yu Tang looked at Mr. Zhang’s paintings carefully. It is worthy of the aesthetics of a literati. Although Liao Liao's paintings are few and far between, they are both elegant and lively.
She immediately replied to a letter from her eldest cousin, asking her to pay according to the previously agreed price, and said: "Even if the merchant who ordered before doesn't like it, you can keep it for other purposes."
Shuangtao asked the concierge's boy to help deliver the letter, while Yutang took a bath under the service of Liuxu.
After a while, Shuangtao came back.
Snow is piled on the wooden shoes.
It seems like the snow is getting heavier.
Yu Tang said: "Has the letter been sent?"
Shuang Tao took off his wooden shoes and said with a smile: "Send it away. I also gave the boy twenty coins."
Yu Tang smiled and nodded, opening the jewelry box and choosing suitable jewelry to wear.
Shuangtao came over to help and chatted with her: "When I came back, I met the woman next to Mrs. Shen. She also went to deliver the letter, but she only rewarded the boy ten cents. I originally wanted to wait. I came back with her. Seeing her like this, it’s hard to say anything to her."
Yu Tang paused while picking the jewelry and said, "Mrs. Shen also sent someone to deliver a letter? Do you know who it is for?"
As Shuangtao helped her put the selected silk flowers into her bun, she said: "It seems to be sent to Hangzhou City. Because I heard the young man asked the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Shen if the letter was delivered by the Pei family. , we can only send the letter to shopkeeper Tong Da first, and then shopkeeper Tong Da will take it with him when he goes to Hangzhou City. If the letter is delivered by the government, they will help her deliver the letter to the inn and give her a receipt. Shen My wife is probably in a hurry, so she asked them to help take her to the inn." After saying that, she complained a little, "It's snowing so heavily, and the inn is far away, but the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Shen only rewarded the boy ten cents. ..."
Yu Tang said displeasedly after hearing this: "Each family's situation is different. Maybe the 20 cents we gave are very little in the eyes of those boys. Besides, we are now at Pei's house. Do you want to Kind words!"
Shuang Tao agreed with a blushing face, and after she finished cleaning up, she went to Lao An's place.
The Fourth Miss, the Third Miss and the Fifth Miss have all arrived. They have all taken a shower and changed their clothes, and are sitting around Lao An talking.
Seeing Yu Tang coming, everyone stood up and said hello.
Gu Xi and the second lady also came together.
Both of them also freshened up.
Everyone laughed and joked again.
Lao An smiled and told Mrs. Chen: "Since everyone is here, let's set the food!"
Aunt Chen agreed.
Gu Xi stepped forward to help Lao An.
Lao An smiled and patted Gu Xi's hand, and she supported him while Yu Tang and others walked to the hall.
Maybe the weather is getting colder, so there is an extra dish of mutton in clear soup on the dinner table today.
The mutton didn't have any peculiar smell, and the soup was surprisingly mellow.
Yu Tang drank two bowls in a row and put down his chopsticks when his body felt warm.
The fourth lady proposed that everyone go to Nuanting in the afternoon.
Lao An laughed and told Aunt Ji: "Go and tell the second wife to stop being busy in the afternoon and accompany them."
Aunt Ji responded with a smile.
Everyone was very happy and invited Lao An to go with everyone in the afternoon.
Lao An smiled lovingly and said: "My arms and legs are old and I can't stand your torture. Just let me go and let me rest at home."
The juniors were a little disappointed.
Lao An couldn't bear to look at it and said, "Okay. Everyone, go back and take a nap. I'll go take a look at you in the afternoon."
Everyone became happy again, and for fear of delaying Lao An's nap, they all stood up and left.
Lao An asked Aunt Chen to send them out.
Yu Tang and Gu Xi both lived behind the main house of Lao An, passing through an alley, while several ladies from the Pei family lived to the east of the main house of Lao An. The two groups left the old house. An Ren's main wife, Yu Tang and Gu Xi were traveling together, as were several young ladies from the Pei family. But after leaving Lao Anren's main room, the second lady invited Gu Xi: "Sister, do you want to come and sit at my place?"
Gu Xi showed a look of regret and said, "I still have to go back and see Mrs. Shen. Otherwise, Miss Shen can come and sit in my room. I heard from the maid in your house that there is a large plum forest in the back mountain. , I was also thinking about whether to wait until it snows to pick some plum blossoms to make incense. Unexpectedly, it started snowing last night. I am also planning to invite some younger sisters to go enjoy the plum blossoms with Miss Yu!"
The faces of the young ladies of the Pei family lit up when they heard this, and the fourth lady even more excitedly said: "Sister Gu, I'm going. Don't forget to call me when you go to pick plums."
Miss Wu also shouted: "I want to go too, I want to go too."
Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "I don't know if I can pick the plum blossoms in my house? If I can pick them, I will definitely take you with me."
It is rare that the third lady was also very interested and said: "It should be possible to pick it. Let's ask the second aunt later."
The fourth lady nodded repeatedly, and the fifth lady took the initiative to ask Ying to ask her mother.
Everyone smiled and settled the matter, and then dispersed.
Yu Tang saw the second young lady and Gu Xi walking side by side and whispering, and knew that Gu Xi wanted to defeat the Pei family one by one and make the Pei family like her. She had no intention of getting involved, so she slowed down and gradually fell behind them.
Unexpectedly, when we came out of the alley, we met a young boy who had just grown his hair. When he met, he saluted Yu Tang and asked her: "Are you Miss Yu?"
Yu Tang said "yes" in surprise.
The young man laughed: "The third master went up the mountain and knew that Miss Yu wanted to deliver a letter, so he asked the concierge to give the letter to Mr. Hu, and asked Mr. Hu to deliver it to your home personally. Mr. Hu was afraid that you would worry, so he specially Let me tell you."
Yu Tang felt surprised and happy inexplicably, and said: "The third master is here?"
"Yes." The boy said, "I just went up the mountain and stayed at Xilu Xiyuan. I should go to greet Lao An later."
According to the rules of the Pei family, he should not reveal the whereabouts of Mr. Pei San, but as soon as Mr. Pei San went up the mountain, he asked Manager Hu to help Yu Tang deliver the letter. Manager Hu also specifically asked him to tell Miss Yu No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Yu Tang was a distinguished guest of the Pei Mansion. He felt that he should be like Mr. Hu and seek favors in front of Miss Yu.
Yu Tang smiled and rewarded him with a handful of copper coins, and then he and Shuang Tao continued walking forward. As a result, when she looked up, she saw Gu Xi and the second lady standing firmly in front, looking at her intently.
She touched her face in confusion and said strangely: "What's wrong? But what's the matter?"
The second lady frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Gu Xi.
"It's nothing!" Gu Xi smiled, "I was just walking and suddenly realized that you were missing. We will wait for you here."
The second lady heard this and called out "Sister Gu" in surprise.
Gu Xi pulled the second young lady and said to Yu Tang with a smile: "When are you going to go out later? Let's call you then? Let's go to Nuanting together." The words were diverted. .
Yu Tang knows Gu Xi too well.
She thinks too much and has too many scruples. Every word she speaks has to be twisted several times, making the listener think again and again before they understand what she really means.
In the past, we were sisters-in-law, and there was nothing we could do about it. Now that the two of them went their separate ways, she didn't bother to guess Gu Xi's intentions. As long as Gu Xi comes to her without asking, she will pretend she doesn't know. Let Gu Xi figure it out in private.
Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn't help but picture Gu Xi wandering around the room with an anxious face. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she laughed.
"Okay!" She looked at Gu Xi, "I'll wait for you to call me then, and let's go to Nuanting together."
"Then it's settled!" Gu Xi said, dragging the second young lady and leaving.
Yu Tang smiled~IndoMTL.com~ and returned to the house with Shuangtao.
The second lady is not as calm as Gu Xi.
As soon as Yu Tang's figure left their sight, the second lady couldn't wait to say to Gu Xi: "Sister Gu, why didn't you let me ask her? How could she be taken care of by Manager Hu? Even if Yu Xiucai and Manager Hu were on good terms, she Does someone who lives in the inner courtyard need Manager Hu to help her with something? What on earth is she going to do?"
What the boy said was not very clear to them, which made them even more puzzled.
Gu Xi lowered his eyes, thinking of Yu Tang's family background, and said softly: "I don't know how Miss Yu got the favor of Lao An? Logically speaking, the Yu family and your family have no connection, how could she Walking up to Lao An so easily?"
The second lady was stunned and thought about it carefully, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Xi's words made sense.
She hesitated and said: "I seem to have heard that her silk flowers are good... But no matter how good her craftsmanship is, can she be better than the embroiderer at home?" At this point, she said in shock, "Sister Gu, you Not to mention that I haven’t noticed yet, Yu, Miss Yu seems to have appeared out of nowhere!”
