Delicate Flower Chapter 211: Xu Family

Pei Lao'an wanted to receive guests, so it was inappropriate for Chen and others to stay here. Everyone stood up and left.

Lao An thought for a while and said, "This is my first time meeting the Wu family in Huzhou. You might as well go and sit in the flower hall first."

The main reason is that they are afraid that the Wu family will not bring enough greeting gifts, which will cause inconvenience to the Wu family's female relatives.

Everyone knew it well and went to the flower hall behind the hall with a smile in twos and threes, leaving only the second wife of the Pei family to help Lao An entertain the guests.

The third, fourth and fifth ladies of the Pei family have not seen Yu Tang since noon yesterday. Naturally, they were extremely happy to meet at this time. They pulled Yu Tang and babbled: "The incense made by Ku'an Temple has been delivered. When we arrived at Zhaoming Temple, we went to see it last night. It will definitely become famous by then."

Because the things came with the carriages and horses of the Pei family’s female relatives, the Buddhist incense that was intended to be presented to Zhaoming Temple was placed in the hands of the steward sent by the Pei family. Yu Tang did not interfere. Unexpectedly, these little girls yesterday I ran over to watch it in the evening.

She smiled and nodded.

The second daughter of the Pei family was not very close to Yu Tang. She and Miss Xu were walking behind, looking like they wanted to strike up a conversation but didn't know what to say, which made Miss Xu secretly roll her eyes. However, for Young Master Yang's sake, she took the initiative to talk to the second young lady: "How did you sleep last night? I felt that the scent of sandalwood in the wing kept me awake most of the night. In the end, it was really too much. When I was tired, I fell asleep in a daze." After saying that, he pointed to Miss Pei and Yu Tang who were walking in front of them: "I just heard what they said about Buddhist incense. Is anyone in your family good at making this? Are there any other scents of incense? Can you give me some? I've already asked people to buy incense, but Lin'an is such a small town, and I don't know if I can buy good-smelling incense."

Miss Pei Er knows what kind of family the Xu family is, so naturally she does not want to offend Miss Xu. What's more, Miss Xu is going to marry into the Yin family, and she is marrying the only son of the Yin family, a nineteen-year-old young scholar... She hurriedly said: "The one who is good at making incense is the fiancée of the eldest cousin of the eldest family. You should also be the one who is good at making incense." I know you, the eldest daughter of the second wife of the Gu family in Hangzhou." She whispered and told Miss Xu about how they helped Ku'an Temple make Buddhist incense.

Miss Xu's eyes rolled when she heard that. After the second lady finished speaking, she said "oh" and said: "I don't know this Miss Gu. However, I know Gu Chaoyang from the Gu family. He and this Miss Gu What's the relationship?"

Second Miss Pei smiled and said, "She is Gu Chaoyang's sister."

Miss Xu said "Oh" again and said: "If I remember correctly, the head wife of their family is filling in the house? I just don't know which girl she is from?"

What she has no impression of is that she is definitely not from a wealthy family, and she has heard people say that the second wife of the Gu family has a very narrow vision, her husband is not good at studying, and she suppresses several younger brothers who were born as concubines. Now there is no talent in the second room. . If it weren't for Gu Chang, I'm afraid he would no longer be among the Jiangnan aristocratic families.

Miss Pei Er was curious about how she knew Gu Chang.

Miss Xu said: "He and Yin Mingyuan are in the same class."

Yin Mingyuan? !

Miss Xu’s fiancé.

Miss Pei Er looked at Miss Xu.

Miss Xu nodded without any trace of embarrassment, and said honestly: "I heard that Gu Chaoyang was taller and more handsome than Pan An. When Yin Mingyuan went to attend the poetry festival, I asked him to take me to have a look. I feel okay, not as good-looking as Yin Mingyuan, but more muscular than Yin Mingyuan."

Miss Pei Er has seen arrogant people, but she has never seen anyone more arrogant than Miss Xu. When she heard this, she didn't know how to answer.

The fourth lady who was walking in front suddenly turned around, said "Wow" and said: "Sister Xu is so awesome, she actually dares to attend the poetry gathering of scholars."

Miss Xu waved her hand disapprovingly and said, "Yin Mingyuan has been studying at our house since he was a child. What's so great about me asking him to take me to a poetry fair!"

It is already amazing to have her fiancé agree to take a girl like her to a poetry gathering!

The ladies of the Pei family looked at her with admiration.

Yu Tang’s attention was focused on the word "Yin". She looked at the ladies of the Pei family, thought for a moment, pulled the third lady, and whispered: "What is the origin of the Xu family? That Who is Yin Mingyuan?"

The third lady quickly glanced at Miss Xu and saw that she was concentrating on talking to the other ladies. She hurriedly whispered: "Miss Xu's great-great-grandfather served as the crown prince's Taibao and the official minister. Her great-grandfather and great-uncle They have all served as chief ministers, and now the head of the Xu family is his father, who serves as a bachelor of Wuyingdian and minister of the Ministry of War; one uncle is the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, and one uncle was previously a censor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was transferred this spring. She is the salt transport envoy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Yin Mingyuan is her fiancé, a concubine, and oversees politics in the Ministry of Punishment."

It took Yutang a while to figure it out.

In other words, the old lady of the Li family and Mrs. Yang San are both girls from Miss Xu’s future husband’s family.

No wonder she is so respectful to Mrs. Yang San.

Seeing that Miss Xu was still talking to her sisters, Miss Pei San quickly said: "She is an old woman. Although Yin Mingyuan is good at reading, he is not in good health. The marriage between the Xu and Yin families is the oldest one. The generation has been decided. I heard that Mrs. Xu was very dissatisfied and told Miss Xu that her fortune had been told and that Miss Xu should not marry young, so she wanted to keep her until she was twenty. The two have not yet gotten married."

Are you afraid that Yin Mingyuan will die prematurely?

The Xu family is really tough!

The villain in Yu Tang's heart wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced quickly behind him, and continued gossiping with the third lady: "Then the Yin family won't say anything?"

Miss Pei San pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Yin Mingyuan likes Miss Xu and would not marry her unless she is the one."

"Ah!" Yu Tang exclaimed, subconsciously suppressing his voice and looking behind him again.

This time she was not as lucky as before, and her eyes met Miss Xu's.

Yu Tang smiled guiltily at Miss Xu.

Miss Xu rolled her eyes, left Miss Pei behind, and walked over quickly, took Yu Tang's arm, and said with a smile: "Did my sister ask others about me? I don't like the scent of sandalwood in the temple. , my sister gave me some incense with other flavors!"

Yu Tang smiled at her sheepishly and said, "I don't like incense, I like perfume. How about I give you half a bottle of perfume first? I only brought one bottle when I went out this time. ”

This fragrant dew was a gift that Yu Wen and Mr. Wu brought her last time when they went to Ningbo.

It is said to be a rose scent, which smells pretty good.

But the fragrance must be sealed well, otherwise it will lose its fragrance soon.

Fortunately, they only stayed in the temple for three or five days, otherwise even if she gave her half a bottle of fragrant dew, there probably wouldn't be a bottle to fill it.

Miss Xu smiled and said: "Oh, I finally met someone who likes fragrance as much as I do. I will go to your place to get it after lunch later."

Yu Tang felt that her expression did not look like she was going to get fragrance, but rather like she was going to explore a secret...

However, since he agreed, even if Miss Xu went to her place to explore the secrets, Yu Tang could only bite the bullet and receive her.

Everyone quickly sat down in the flower hall.

Several ladies of the Pei family were busy performing filial piety in front of their respective grandmothers.

Miss Wu followed Yu Tang.

Mrs. Yang San sat next to Mr. Yi Laoan and talked about old times with Mr. Yi Laoan. From the tone of her voice, it seemed that the elders in the family had been colleagues with Mr. Yi.

Miss Xu looked left and right, and stood with Miss Fifth and Yu Tang.

She asked Miss Fifth: "When does your family have lunch?"

Miss Wu shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Miss Xu looked helpless and asked: "What time does your family usually have lunch?"

Miss Wu said: "The time difference is a quarter of an hour at noon."

Miss Xu nodded with satisfaction, took out a golden pocket watch from her pocket, opened it with a snap, looked at it, and said with some despair: "There is still one hour left."

Both Yu Tang and Fifth Miss’s eyes were glued to Miss Xu’s pocket watch, and Fifth Miss even said: “Is this a pocket watch? It’s so beautiful.”

Miss Xu nodded slightly, stretched out her hand and said, "Do you want to take a look?"

Miss Wu quickly shook her head and said: "My father also has one. But I have never seen such a small one."

Yu Tang had seen Li Duan use it in his previous life, and like Fifth Miss, he had never seen such a small one.

Miss Xu said nonchalantly: "It was specially made by someone, and it runs quite accurately."

The fifth lady asked: "Are you hungry? How about I ask Ashan to bring you some snacks?"

"No need." Miss Xu sighed, looking very bored, and said wiltedly, "I'm not hungry, I just want to know when we can leave. I want to go to Sister Yu's place to see what kind of smell she brings Come here with the fragrant dew."

You might as well say you are impatient for such gatherings!

Both Yu Tang and Fifth Miss gave her a blank look.

She giggled and asked Miss Fifth: "Is your eldest cousin here? Does he know where he lives?"

Miss Fifth said: "Not only is my eldest cousin here, but my second cousin and my brother are also here. Of course they live in the outer courtyard! But I didn't ask where they live. What are you going to do? Do you want me to find you? Let me ask a steward."

Miss Xu echoed them: "The Yang family has praised your eldest cousin to the sky, saying that he is more talented than your third uncle. I want to see what he looks like."

The fifth lady was stunned and murmured: "More talented than my third uncle?"

Why does this sound so awkward?

Yu Tang thought of the events in his previous life and felt that the Yang family was trying to build momentum for Pei Tong.

She didn’t know who Pei Tong married in her previous life, but he got married in the capital. There have been great changes in this life. I wonder if Pei Tong will still follow the same path in his previous life.

Seeing this, Miss Xu asked Miss Fifth again: "Then do you know when your third uncle comes to greet Mr. Pei Lao'an every day?"

Miss Fifth asked in confusion: "Why are you asking about this?"

Miss Xu said nonchalantly: "I'll just ask."

Yu Tang glanced at Miss Xu.

Miss Xu chuckled ~IndoMTL.com~ and said to Yu Tang and Miss Wu: "When I came here just now, I saw a pomegranate tree outside. How about we go pick pomegranates?"

Miss Wu and Yu Tang looked at the room full of female relatives and shook their heads together.

Miss Xu decided to go by herself.

Yu Tang felt that the Zhaoming Temple today was very complicated, so he grabbed Miss Xu and said, "When Master Incompetent prays for us, do we also have to write our names and birthdays as usual? What if someone flips it? Do it?"

Birthday and horoscope are related to the future and fortune, and they are not usually told to others, especially girls.

Miss Xu's attention was diverted and she hurriedly said: "In the past, when we were at Hongluo Temple, we would also write, but we had to put it in a bright red envelope and seal it with a special technique. In the box. Don’t worry, no one will know.”

"That's good!" Yu Tang seemed relieved and continued to ask Miss Xu about the prayer meeting.

Miss Xu talked endlessly about her experience and did not mention going out again.
