Delicate Flower Chapter 230: Discord

Of course Yu Tang didn't know that her small move attracted the attention of the female family members of the Song and Peng families.

After re-adjusting her mentality, Yu Tang not only successfully copied the Buddhist scriptures, but also tasted the iced rice cake with great interest and enthusiasm.

It’s a bit similar to their Lin’an crystal cake. However, their Lin'an crystal cake is made of tapioca flour, which is shiny and more translucent. Fengcheng’s iced rice cake is made from glutinous rice and is whiter.

It can be seen that many pastries are similar, just with different ingredients and different names.

Yu Tang decided to copy a few pages of Buddhist scriptures to Pei Yanye and let the Bodhisattva bless him that everything would go smoothly.

Shuangtao, who went to deliver candies and snacks, came back and brought back a gift in return from Miss Xu. She said: "Miss Xu is a very kind person. Seeing that I was having difficulty holding it, she asked Ah Fu to accompany me to the Miss Pei's. However, the Miss Pei's were not there and said they were going to the market, so I took the I left the things and came back." Then he also told her about meeting the female relatives of Song and Peng on the road, but he didn't tell her about Miss Song's difficulties. He only said that they picked oleander and went back: "Afu, how did you meet them? Miss Pei was not here, so he told the mother-in-law in the fifth lady's room. Ah Fu said, anyway, we have said everything that needs to be said. As for whether the mother-in-law in the fifth lady's room should mention it to the second wife, Miss Song Whether something will happen to Miss Peng and the others because of the oleander depends on their luck. Even if Bodhisattva knows about it, it can't be said that we didn't help the ladies of the Song family and the Peng family." She also said with gratitude. , "Miss, I think I made the right decision to come out with you this time. Only after meeting Afu and the others did I realize how stupid I am. I will definitely watch more, think more and talk less, and learn from them how to serve you, miss." ”

Yu Tang laughed and said, "Are you planning to be a servant for the rest of your life? Aren't you planning to give up your citizenship?"

In her previous life, after the decline of the Yu family, she did not sell the two peaches, but released her citizenship and chose an honest businessman as her husband, but her life was not very comfortable either. Yu Tang asked her a few times about the specific reason, but she was hesitant and vague. Later, Yu Tang had too many things to do and didn't have time to take care of her. Therefore, in this life, the eldest aunt acted as a matchmaker for Shuangtao and asked her to marry Wang Si, which Yu Tang thought was good. At least Yu Tang can still protect her.

Shuangtao waved his hands disapprovingly when he heard this and said: "What's the benefit of letting go? Both the master and the wife are kind, and the lady treats me well. I like to stay in the Yu family."

When the young lady recruits a son-in-law, the Yu family will still be headed by the young lady. She will do her best and the young lady will not treat her badly.

This incident blew by like a spring breeze. She was more concerned about the oleanders picked back by Miss Song and Peng: "I didn't expect that this aristocratic family is also divided into three, six or nine grades. Even a maid next to Miss Xu is They know that oleander is poisonous, but the ladies of the Song family and the Peng family don't know. It shows that Miss Xu's family is really powerful, and there is a reason why those ladies flatter Miss Xu."

Yu Tang said: "I often see people picking oleander, and I have never heard of anyone being poisoned? It's just that the smell of oleander is unpleasant, and people don't like to use it for flower arrangements. Maybe it's because of the differences between the north and the south. The difference is, isn’t there a saying that ‘Huai orange is called Zhi’?”

The two chatted for a while, and several Miss Pei ran over cheering.

After meeting Mrs. Chen, the fifth lady took Yu Tang’s hand and said: "We went shopping outside the temple early this morning. There were many people selling snacks. Unfortunately, Ashan didn’t let me buy them. I didn’t succeed. However, I also I found something good."

Her face was flushed, and she excitedly took a palm-sized boxwood comb from her pocket.

The material of the comb is ordinary, but it is carved in the shape of a fat carp. Compared with the common magpie climbing a branch, a hundred-year-old couple, etc., it is so amazing.

"It's so beautiful!" Yu Tang praised sincerely.

The third and fourth ladies both pursed their lips and smiled.

The fifth lady then placed the comb in Yu Tang's palm and said, "This is for you."

Yu Tang was surprised and happy: "Did you give it to me?"

The fifth lady proudly raised her chin towards the second lady.

The second lady glanced at Yu Tang with an unclear look.

Although Yu Tang doesn't know the reason, she will definitely not dismantle the fifth young lady at this time. She hurriedly said: "Oh, I like it so much. It's just that a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others. I can just take a look at such an interesting comb. You'd better put it away quickly and take it back for later use."

The fifth lady smiled, took out another identical comb from her pocket, and said, "Look, I have one too."

Yu Tang was slightly stunned.

The third and fourth ladies laughed and said, "We bought several combs in one go and bought all the combs on the stall. But Miss Wu and the others failed to buy them. We just happened to have one each."

Is it the Miss Wu who Miss Song Liu said wanted to marry into the Pei family?

Yu Tang felt a little uncomfortable, but still couldn't help but asked curiously: "What on earth is going on? Tell me!"

The fourth lady spoke with joy about meeting Miss Wu and Gu Xi at a stall outside the temple: "The two of them were wearing curtain hats, surrounded by a bunch of maids and women, and they also brought guards... far away You can see them from far away... pick and choose... This one she saw in the capital, and that one she bought in Suzhou, as if she was afraid that others would not know that she came from a wealthy family... She was not afraid that thieves would miss her... Poor Sister Gu, she was there with her, her face was frozen with laughter!"

Is there anything about Gu Xi involved? !

Yu Tang raised his ears and heard Fifth Miss sighing: "We should have taken Sister Gu away at that time."

The second young lady frowned and said: "Sister Gu, you are not the one. You can take advantage of your young age and buy everything from other people's stalls without saying anything. You also deliberately said that we sisters each have a handful in front of Miss Wu. Miss Wu went to Sister Gu's place early in the morning to block the door. If it were you, could you refuse? Besides, who would have thought that Miss Wu would be so high-profile! Sister Gu was also implicated by her."

The third lady heard this and said worriedly: "The Wu family used to be water bandits, wouldn't their family still be doing their old job secretly now?"

"How is that possible?!" The second young lady immediately retorted, "If their family were still in the same business, the third uncle would definitely not let our family have contact with their family. The Wu family is used to being domineering in Huzhou, and Miss Wu just accepts it. It’s just the influence within the family.”

After hearing this, the fourth lady muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, I don't like Miss Wu, and I don't want her to marry into our family."

The second lady laughed angrily and said: "Even if our family wants to marry, we have to find a suitable candidate. You should worry less about this. Just worry about your own affairs!"

"What's the matter with me?" Miss Fourth blushed and said with a guilty conscience: "I want to tell my great-aunt that you bullied me!"

The second lady looked at her as if she were a fool and ignored her.

Miss Wu quietly explained to Yu Tang: "The Peng family wants to marry a girl from our family."

In that look, I didn’t think about myself at all.

Maybe it's because she is the youngest.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that whether it was the Peng family or the Wu family, they would probably fail this time.

She put the comb away and solemnly thanked the ladies of the Pei family.

After they asked about Yu Tang's health, they knew that she had already recovered, so they started chattering about offering Buddhist incense tomorrow.

Gu Xi over there also returned to his residence.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw her brother Gu Chang, who was supposed to be still discussing matters with Pei Yan, sitting sullenly on the imperial chair in the middle hall, as if he was waiting for her.

There was a thump in her heart, and she steeled herself and smiled at Gu Chang, saying warmly: "Brother, when did you come here? Didn't you say that it would be possible to have dinner at the third master's place at noon? Is it possible over there? What happened?"

Yesterday, her brother came to see her first when he arrived at the temple. Only then did she know that he had specially asked for this job to go back to Hangzhou for her marriage. Knowing that she was here, he pursued her again. come over.

The brother and sister had a dispute yesterday about her marriage to Pei Tong. If brother A's entourage hadn't come in and said that Pei Yan had some free time, the two would have quarreled.

Brother had a straight face. Do you want to continue talking to her about Pei Tong?

Gu Xi felt a little scared.

My brother has been protecting her since she was a child, and she always discusses everything with him. Only her marriage to Pei Tong was decided by her first, and her brother must be very angry.

As Gu Xi thought about it, he took the initiative to bring a cup of tea to Gu Chang and said softly: "Brother, don't be angry with me. I know you are doing it for my own good. But I also have my own ideas. Then No matter how good Pei Xiaguang is, he looks down on me and has become the head of the Pei family. He has renounced his official career. I don't want to marry someone like him. Look at the Li family. Didn't they yell and say that their girls are not free? Pei Xiaguang chooses? But if you look at it now, you still don’t say such things. Isn’t it because Pei Xiaguang will never be an official again? No matter how good Pei Tong is, it is true that he can read. There is a foreigner who is willing to help him. The family is real, and the eldest grandson of the Pei family clan is real. What’s more, Pei Xiaguang feels guilty about him, and he will definitely not miss him financially. We take the opportunity to get rid of the inheritance rights of the Pei family clan~IndoMTL.com~ Let the descendants study hard and become officials , isn’t it better than living in a small place like Lin’an for the rest of your life?

As you said before, the Pei family is a good match.

The eldest wife sent people to our door again and again to propose marriage, and promised that if I got married, she would let me accompany Pei Tong to study at home.

As you know, the eldest wife is a widow and cannot leave Lin'an.

On this basis, I am willing to marry you. ”

"Nonsense!" Gu Chang was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and looked around, "How can a daughter-in-law not serve her parents-in-law? I think you are getting bolder and bolder when I am not at home."

Gu Xi covered her mouth and smiled.

Brother feels sorry for her after all.

She thought of the unlucky Li family and couldn't help but talk about the Li family: "Does their family still have a chance to make a comeback? I heard that Mr. Shen is running around for their family. This kind of thing is too dirty. I think If Mr. Shen does this, his reputation will be ruined."

"What do you know?" Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Chang felt at ease. He sat down again and scolded his sister, "Li Duan is Mr. Shen's student. He has only two ways to go at this time. One is To draw a clear line with the Li family, the second is to fight for it. With Mr. Shen’s personality, he must fight for it, otherwise how could he end up resigning and returning home? As for the Li family, it depends on whether Pei Xiaguang is willing to do so. I am willing to help their family. The current Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the second son of Zhang Ying and has a close personal relationship with Pei Xiaguang. If he says hello, it is not impossible for the Li family to fine some money and escape unscathed."
