Delicate Flower Chapter 183: Reluctant to give up

While Gu Xi was packing her luggage, several young ladies from the Pei family shouted to bid her farewell, seemingly unaware of Pei Lao'an's euphemism in asking her to go home early. This made Gu Xi's heart I feel a lot better, and I don’t feel so embarrassed anymore. But she didn't think she was so thick-skinned when it came to seeing her off, so she pretended not to know what to do and ate and drank with several ladies from the Pei family.

Yu Tang had no intention of pretending in front of Gu Xi. She understood what Pei Laoan meant and didn't even say a polite word.

This made Gu Xi secretly guess whether Yu Tang knew something?

No matter what, Gu Xi was leaving, but she was still unwilling to do so, thinking that she would go alone to say goodbye to Pei Lao'an. If she could find out what Pei Lao'an said, she would know that Pei Lao'an Why would it be best to urge her to return home? If there is no chance, it would be fine to have a few words with Pei Lao'an alone - no matter which family she marries in the future and becomes the mistress, she will never be without the Pei family. intersection. What's more, during the few days she was in the Pei family, she was able to hang out with several ladies from the Pei family. The ladies from the Pei family were not the kind of people who had a lot of thoughts, and they were people worth dating.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the second young lady's marriage.

The Yang family has also caught the attention of the Gu family, but the only girls in the Gu family who are about the same age as Young Master Yang are a few concubines from the outer house, so there is no need to mention the marriage. Her stepmother also regretted that the age difference between her half-sisters and Mr. Yang was too big. As the eldest son, Mr. Yang was afraid that he would not want to marry a wife who was too young.

The marriage the third lady got into was not bad either.

Although they are cousins, Miss San's mother's natal family is also a serious scholar. They have been officials for generations, and one or two generations can produce a Jinshi. In this generation, the chief minister of Jiangxi, who has the greatest official career in the family, is the direct uncle of the third lady's cousin. If the third lady's cousin is also a good scholar, and has the support of two families, it goes without saying that he will have an official career.

This is the foundation of a wealthy family.

It's just that her father is not up to par, and if her stepmother continues to instigate her, she only knows how to suppress her uncles who are concubines. Even if their second wife is supported by her brother, they may not be able to last long.

Gu Xi let out a long sigh.

Hexiang walked in with a somewhat panicked look and whispered in her ear: "Miss, the eldest lady, the eldest lady from the Pei Mansion sent a maid here, saying that she heard that you were going back to Hangzhou City. Yes, I sent two pots of Jianlan as a gift."

Gu Xi hesitated for a long time.

She didn't want to wade into the muddy waters of the Pei family. As for the eldest lady... She regretted that special trip to make friends with the eldest lady. Originally she just wanted Pei Lao'an and Pei Yan to see her social skills, but now she gave the eldest lady an excuse to get close to her.

Obviously she knew she shouldn't, but the eldest wife sent someone to deliver orchids, which made her suddenly feel a faint sense of joy.

Don’t you think that I have lived in your house for too long and do not have the self-cultivation and self-consciousness to be a guest? Then I will simply break the rules and become a person who knows nothing.

Besides, the Yang family is not someone to be trifled with.

Although it was a bit weak in the past, this generation has produced three imperial officials and can prosper for at least another twenty years. Why should she push the Yang family out?

Gu Xi smiled and said: "Invite the maid in and reward her with some silver. I will accept the flowers and thank the eldest madam for your love. If the eldest madam has the opportunity to go to Hangzhou City, she must come to our house. Sit down. Our wife is also a hospitable person. She went to our house to do nothing but drink.”

Her stepmother has a dowry wine shop. Ever since she married into the Gu family, she especially likes to use the wine from her own wine shop to entertain guests and give wine to her own wine shop. This used to be the most annoying thing to her, but now she thinks it's not bad for her stepmother to do this.

He Xiang led the eldest lady’s little maid in.

Pei Lao'an, on the other hand, was talking to Yi Lao'an about himself: "I thought she was a young lady from an aristocratic family, and she should behave calmly and well. She knew it well, but this Temperament... So, the character of this person still cannot be fully determined by his background. The most rare thing for a woman is to know when to be shrewd and when to pretend to be confused."

Yi Laoan used to have the temperament of a heroine, but after more than ten or twenty years of serving Mr. Yi, who was in poor health, he became older and became more tolerant towards others and things, and his temper became better and better. That’s all. She heard the words and said with a smile: "Then you are still chasing people away like this? I think that girl is so embarrassed and angry, she is afraid that she will care about our family and make enemies for the younger generation for no reason."

Pei Lao'an snorted disapprovingly and said: "The girls educated by our family are not flowers in the greenhouse. They can only be seen but not used. If they can't even evade this little trick, , how to get along with the sisters-in-law and aunts at home who are older and more experienced than them?"

Yi Laoan laughed and said: "I think that little girl is pretty good too. Maybe she doesn't have anyone to teach her, but she is quite smart."

Pei Lao'an didn't know whether he looked down on the Gu family or Gu Xi, and said, "Few of those who grew up with their stepmother can do well. If you don't have this skill, then you can just hide your clumsiness! Look at the Yu family's That little girl is honest and well-behaved and doesn't try to be smart, so I think she's pretty good. If you don't have this diamond, you shouldn't take that porcelain job!"

"You!" Yi Lao'an smiled and shook his head, "What happened to offend you again? You want to anger someone else's little girl." After saying that, he pointed in the direction of the greenhouse, "It's the same thing again. ?"

Pei Lao'an immediately turned down his face and said, "What evil do you think I did? He was disobedient when he was alive and insisted on getting married to the Yang family. Now that he is gone, why should he stay with me?" Such a big mess. The old man in our family also didn’t know what to do, so he passed the blame on the third child. What can the third child do? On one side is his widowed sister-in-law, and on the other side is his fatherless nephew Son. Everything he did was wrong! I looked at it and found that if the boss was unfilial, it was because he was like an old man. He had done something wrong and had no choice but to quit and let others clean it up for him. Only The third child in our family is the most pitiful. But who can let him have a temper like mine? I wish that everyone in the family would be good, and I would suffer a little if I suffer a little..."

Yi Lao'an couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Are you pitying your third child? Are you still praising yourself?"

Pei Laoan thought for a while and laughed out loud.

The depression in the room was swept away and it became cheerful.

Pei Lao'an and Yi Lao'an wanted to discuss the second lady's marriage with the Yang family, but Gu Xi never found a chance to say goodbye to Pei Lao'an alone.

The marriage between the second lady and the Yang family was quickly discussed. Because the second lady is the grand-niece of the third bedroom, although she has not left the court, she only needs to observe mourning for nine months. The ladies all continued to dress modestly. It was the old man Pei who respected the clan clan who passed away. The Yang family also had the same idea. They thought that the two families would make a small decision first, and only invited close relatives to watch the ceremony. After the Pei family's clan was no longer married, they would formally make the appointment and welcome the second young lady in with all the fanfare.

Pei Lao'an doesn't think this is necessary, just remember the teachings of Mr. Pei. However, Yi Lao'an was very insistent and felt that the Yang family's wishes were in line with hers. She sent someone to speak to the second young lady's parents, and the matter was settled.

At this time, Gu Xi had been escorted back to Hangzhou City by people sent by the Pei family, and Yu Tang thought that he should go home too.

She went to say goodbye to Pei Laoan.

Pei Laoan did not keep her, but packed two mule carts full of silk and satin, dried medicinal materials, and snacks. Several ladies from the Pei family even held her hand reluctantly: "You must come to our house to pay New Year's greetings to the two Lao An people!"

Yu Tang didn’t know if it would be a good time to enter the house at that time, but if there was a chance, she would still like to pay New Year’s greetings to the two Lao An people.

She nodded repeatedly, said a lot of reluctant words to the ladies of the Pei family, and then got on the Pei family's sedan and returned to the Yu family.

Two mule carts.

As soon as Yu Tang entered Qingzhu Lane, he was surrounded by neighbors. Some asked where Yu Tang had gone, and others asked where the things on the mule cart came from. Yu Tang had no intention of publicizing her relationship with the Pei family, and answered vaguely. Mrs. Chen, who had been paying attention to when Yu Tang would come back, heard the noise and ran over to dismiss the neighbors with a few words. Yu Tang was successful now. Entered the gate.

Ms. Chen hugged Yu Tang before she spoke, tears fell first: "My son, let me take a closer look, you have been gone for more than half a month, and my mother has not had a good night's sleep. . How are you living in the Pei family? Are the ladies in the Pei family easy to get along with? Do they make things difficult for you?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yu Wen who was waiting next to her: "What did you say? Didn't you see that Ah Tang looked much better than when he left home? He also brought two cars of things with him. When she comes back, it can be seen that Pei Laoan also likes her very much. Right? Ah Tang!"

Having said that, Yu Wen's eager tone and the way he looked at her up and down revealed his concern and worry.

Yu Tang answered "yes" and tears fell with his mother: "Well, everyone in the Pei family is very good to me. I even went to Ku'an Temple with them. I'm fine, I almost don't want to come back. ”

"You kid!" The eldest aunt and Xiangshi who were standing under the eaves watching their family reunion came over at some point. The eldest aunt said with a smile and patted Yu Tang's shoulder gently. , whispered: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Since the day before yesterday, your mother knew that you were coming back, she has been talking about you every day, buying meat and fish, and made a lot of snacks you like to eat, and even we followed her Enjoy the blessing and get most of the basket of food. ~IndoMTL.com~ Yu Tang laughed, tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes.

Xiang took out his own handkerchief and handed it to her, smiling and saying, "It'll be good to come back. We just happened to be preparing the New Year's Eve dinner together."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly and found that Xiangshi's belly was very high.

"Ouch!" She looked at Mr. Xiang in awe and envy, "With such a big belly, have you asked the doctor to take a look in advance? Do you want to stabilize her in advance?"

"You!" The eldest aunt looked at Yu Tang lovingly and said with a smile, "No wonder your mother-in-law doesn't think about you every day. She is just a little cotton-padded jacket. She can't even stand still, but she cares about your sister-in-law. Come. Auntie’s love for you is not in vain.”

Yu Tang lowered his head in embarrassment.

My eldest aunt and her mother are both experienced people, so it is not her turn to take care of these matters.

But the whole family laughed, and even the eldest uncle, who was always a little shy in front of Yu Tang, did not hide his joy and laughed heartily with everyone.
