Delicate Flower Chapter 356: Not going
Xu Xuan ran over early the next morning.
Yu Tang was helping Pei Yan get dressed when he was about to go out. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be startled and asked the little maid who came to report: "Did Mrs. Yin say anything important?"
The little maid shook her head and said, "Mrs. Yin didn't say anything."
Yu Tang asked the little maid to lead Xu Xuan to sit in the flower hall first, and continued to help Pei Yan organize her clothes.
Pei Yan snorted unabashedly and said, "I'll be back early this afternoon, and I'll accompany you to the streets."
There will be a dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival in the capital. He plans to accompany Yu Tang to watch the dragon boat race. Today, he goes to the Zhang Mansion in advance to say hello. He will not go to say hello to Mr. Zhang on the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yu Tang wanted to laugh when she thought of Pei Yan complaining that she had learned badly following Xu Xuan last night, but considering Pei Yan's bottom line, she had no choice but to hold back and said with a smile on her face: "I know! I will prepare it in advance."
Pei Yan nodded with satisfaction, but when he met Xu Xuan when he went out, he still passed her by with a cold face.
Xu Xuan scratched her head and looked at Pei Yan's back, then at Yu Tang, and said, "What's wrong with him? Did you quarrel?" Before she finished speaking, she denied it again, "No. , you probably didn’t quarrel. If Pei Xiaguang had a quarrel with you, he would definitely be furious. He doesn’t look like he’s angry, but like he doesn’t want to see me. What did I do to offend him?” Then, She began to complain about Pei Yan to Yu Tang, "I'm not saying that your Pei Xia Guang has a really bad temper. That means you have a good temper and can live with him. According to me, if he does this again, you might as well put him down. He can be left alone in the capital..."
Yu Tang smiled and personally took the loquats that the little maid washed and handed them over, saying, "Try them, they were just sent from Fujian a few days ago."
The golden loquats whetted Xu Xuan's appetite, and she no longer pursued Pei Yan's cold face.
Yu Tang asked her: "Is there something wrong with you coming here so early?"
Xu Xuan hurriedly swallowed the loquat in her mouth and said, "There is something wrong."
Yu Tang listened attentively.
Xu Xuan said: "I asked Yin Mingyuan for you last night. It is said that the eldest son of the Qin family is good in appearance, character, talent and learning. If it is a marriage, he is a good candidate. But I am afraid that something will go wrong and Yin Mingyuan will be I inquired carefully and even found my fourth sister-in-law from my natal family. She likes to visit us very much, so she will definitely be able to find out about the Qin family."
This will help the Pei family a lot.
Yu Tang was very grateful and decided to wait until the news from Xu Xuan was more confident before inviting the second wife to come over and have a good chat with Xu Xuan.
The conversation between the two of them unknowingly turned to Fei Zhiwen.
Xu Xuan told Yu Tang: "Mrs. Fei will be arriving in the capital in the next two days, probably related to Fei Zhiwen's marriage. We need to make an idea whether your family wants to marry the Qin family."
For families like theirs, sometimes the marriage is decided not just because of the good children, but mainly because of the political stance of the parents.
Yu Tang smiled and said, "Then let's wait until the marriage between Fei and Qin is settled."
Xu Xuan was in a lively conversation, and told Yu Tang many anecdotes about the capital, and even made an appointment with the two families to watch the dragon boat race.
Yu Tang looked at her big belly and hesitated: "Is this okay with you?"
"Oh, let's talk about it then." Xu Xuan waved her hand disapprovingly, "I'll leave this matter to Yin Mingyuan."
Speaking of which, Yin Mingyuan's temperament is indeed very gentle.
In the afternoon, Pei Yan came back early. Xu Xuan heard the news and got up early to go home.
Yu Tang felt a little sorry for Xu Xuan and asked Xu Xuan to take a large basket of cherries back to eat.
Xu Xuan refused and said: "I can't eat it even if I take it back. If you really want to help me, let me store these cherries with you. Every time I come here, you have the little maid wash them. Disk."
Seeing the deep affection she said, Yu Tang had no choice but to agree.
Pei Yan said sarcastically at the side: "Isn't there Yin Mingyuan? If he can't even eat a few cherries for you, how can he be a good husband?" Then he ordered the servant, "Help Mrs. Yin move to Get in the car!" He added, "Don't worry, when you come to our house, you can eat as many cherries as you want. I guarantee you won't be able to stop eating."
This is what I said.
Xu Xuan became unhappy on the spot and said, "Are you saying that our Mingyuan family can do without you? You are just relying on our Ah Tang's good temper."
Pei Yan's eyes were cold and cold.
Xu Xuan raised her head and sneered, saying, "I don't want to embarrass Ah Tang."
The implication is that you dare to be so willful because you don't take Yu Tang seriously.
Pei Yan's face turned blue with anger.
Xu Xuan squeezed Yu Tang's hand quietly, apologized in a low voice, and said, "I really can't bear to see him like this, so I have to ask you to come forward and coax him." Then she ran away in a hurry. .
Yu Tang couldn't laugh or cry, and comforted Pei Yan: "She also has good intentions, just treat her as a child."
Pei Yan said: "If she were a child, could she talk nonsense in front of you every day?"
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Didn't you say that a slap can't make a sound? I also like to hear her say this!"
Pei Yan was angry.
Yu Tang had no choice but to continue coaxing him: "Didn't you say you wanted to accompany me to the street? If we keep talking like this at home, I'm afraid the shops will close down."
The shops in Beijing close their stalls earlier than they do in Lin'an. Usually the doors close one after another in the evening, but most of the shops in Lin'an are open until the lights are turned on.
Yu Tang talked about this matter with Pei Yan on the carriage.
Pei Yan said: "It's because of the climate. It's cold in the north, especially at night. When everyone goes back to the house, who will go out for a walk?"
His temper comes and goes quickly.
The two were chatting and laughing. In addition to recognizing the identity of a century-old brand, they also bought a lot of food and small ornaments that had nothing to do with the Dragon Boat Festival.
Qing Yuan smiled and helped Yu Tang pack her things when Gu Xi came over.
Yu Tang was a little surprised.
Although she lives in Pei Mansion, Yu Tang doesn't like to have contact with her, so she doesn't have to worry about it in the morning and dusk, so the two don't meet much.
Yu Tang invited Gu Xi in.
Gu Xi's eyes wandered around the messy small objects on the table, then he smiled and sat on the Taishi chair next to him, and talked about the purpose of his visit: "...My aunt asked me to ask If there is anything you don’t want to eat, she can tell the kitchen to pay attention to it."
Is this going to be Yu Tang as the guest?
Yu Tang thought the head of the Yang family invited the second wife.
Yu Tang simply told Gu Xi his decision: "Something happened here temporarily. I'm afraid I won't be able to visit the Yang family. Since you are here, why not help me bring a message to the Yang family."
After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically.
Actually, I'm thinking, since you like to look for trouble, then I'll do something for you.
Gu Xi was very surprised. He hesitated for a while before asking, "Is it because Mrs. Fei is coming to the capital?"
Yu Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
I didn’t expect Gu Xi’s information to be so well-informed.
Gu Xi could see it clearly, but he mistook Yu Tang's raised eyebrows as surprise, and simply did not hide his pride, pretending to be indifferent and said: "I heard it from the third young lady of the Li family. She is about the same age as me. , my natal family’s ancestral home is Tonglu. We are from the same hometown as our second daughter’s husband’s family.”
The second young lady of the Pei family married to Tonglu.
Gu Xi likes to make friends with the matrons of these wealthy families just like in her previous life.
She also said smartly: "Are you planning to go to Fei's house as a guest? Will my second aunt go? Do I need to get ready too?"
"Our family hasn't received an invitation from the Fei family yet." Yu Tang said, "It's not because I wanted to go to the Fei family that I declined the invitation from the Yang family, but something else."
Is there anything more important during this period than Mrs. Fei’s coming to the capital?
The so-called not getting the invitation is just because you didn't consider whether to take her there, right?
Thinking about it this way, there are advantages and disadvantages to her alienating Yu Tang.
But should she still be allowed to curry favor with Yu Tang?
Gu Xi felt that she had seen through this matter and responded with a smile. Yu Tang said with a rather embarrassed smile: "If the Yang family insists, what should I say? I can't say that our family is here. Is it time to go and say hello to Mrs. Fei?"
Yu Tang felt that Gu Xi had made the same mistake in her previous life again and forced her to make a fool of herself.
She suddenly felt dissatisfied, thinking that in her previous life, because of her status as a widow and sister-in-law, it was difficult to refute. Now that I am your aunt, what else can you do?
"Then it's up to you to make your own decision." Yu Tang smiled calmly, "If you think this excuse is suitable, then use it!"
When I saw it, it was me, the head of the family, who was embarrassed, or you, the niece-in-law who acted on behalf of the Pei family.
Gu Xi reacted immediately.
If she said this, others would not say that the Pei family was snobbish, but would only say that she was incapable of doing things and could not even speak.
Gu Xi was a little frustrated. When she looked up, she saw Yu Tang smiling slightly at her.
Did she do it on purpose?
Gu Xi's first thought was to stand up and scold Yu Tang, but those scolding words rolled on the tip of her tongue and she swallowed them again.
Yu Tang is her elder after all. Even if she wins, others will blame her. If Yu Tang makes things difficult for her again, they will think she is disrespectful.
This is her natural disadvantage in her relationship with Yu Tang, a gap that there is no way to get rid of.
Gu Xi cursed secretly in his heart. ~IndoMTL.com~ When she met everyone in the Yang family, she had to swallow her nerves and make excuses for Yu Tang's decision, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps: "It's not that I don't want to visit the Yang family, it's really something that suddenly delayed me, and I can't help it. Come."
Pei Tong’s grandmother, Mrs. Yang, was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing. She sneered and asked Gu Xi: “You are A Tong’s daughter-in-law. Tell me the truth, is she really in trouble or is she teasing our Yang family? ”
Invite the two ladies of the Pei family to come over as guests, especially since Pei Xuan is now the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is in charge of Yanyin's seal. I don't know how many people want to get involved in this relationship. Naturally, the Yang family will not let this go. For the opportunity, in addition to his own relatives, he also invited some mistresses from the official families who had good relations with his family. Yu Tang stopped coming if he couldn't come. It was easy to say what to do with the prepared banquet, but how should the mistresses in charge explain it?
Isn’t this just trampling on the Yang family’s face and rubbing it under their feet?
This Yu family is too much!
Mrs. Yang slapped her hand heavily on the coffee table and shot Gu Xi with her eyes like arrows: "You are the same kid. What are you getting into with adult matters? You are so ignorant!"
