Delicate Flower Chapter 102: 1 year
Shen Shanyan was just talking casually, but when he saw that Yu Wen took his words to heart, he couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Yu Wen: "Show me that painting again." Look, I wonder if there are other places with trees like this."
His relatives and friends are on a higher level than Yu Wen. There are many people who like to plant flowers and trees, and some people even plant strange varieties to show their difference.
"Zi Jin planted the seabuckthorn trees at Xia Guang's house to amuse Xia Guang. Xia Guang didn't even bother to look at them. The servants who tended to the flowers and trees definitely didn't take them seriously either. They just looked like random trees. "Like." Shen Shanyan continued, "When I was in the northwest, I saw that this tree could grow as high as the house. The few sea buckthorn plants they have are not as high as waist height. Even if I borrowed tree species from their family, I guess It can’t be kept alive either. It’s better to look around and see if anyone else has raised such a tree."
Since he was so considerate, Yu Wen naturally thanked him again and again.
The two of them thought about it in the study for a long time, but they never thought that anyone else had planted such a tree. Shen Shanyan simply put away the painting and said: "I am spending the New Year here with Xia Guang and will go home. , just take this opportunity to ask your daughter."
During the Chinese New Year, the Shen family is bustling with people, and there will be many relatives and friends coming to pay their respects.
"That's great!" Yu Wen was overjoyed. When Shen Shanyan returned to Hangzhou, he put the half-hearted piece of paper hidden at home in a box and gave it to Shen Shanyan as a ceremony.
Shen Shanyan really liked him, so he did not refuse and asked Yu Wen to wait for his news and return to Hangzhou for the New Year.
The Yu family is also very lively.
On the New Year's Eve, people start changing peach charms, pasting couplets, hanging red lanterns, and preparing offerings for ancestor worship and dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Yu Tang accompanied his father to plant daffodils and golden oranges, and directed Shuang Tao and others to clean up the dust.
She also took the time to give Ma Xiuniang some rice cakes, maltose made by Chen and her own headdress.
Ma Xiuniang was very happy. She put down her work and took her into her inner room. She also took some persimmons from the cabinet to treat her: "They come from Fujian. They are very sweet. You can bring some back later." Give it to Auntie to try too."
Yu Tang thanked her with a smile, rolled his eyes and looked at Ma Xiuniang up and down, then pursed his lips and smiled.
Ma Xiuniang's face suddenly turned red, and she pushed her shyly: "What are you looking at? A young girl who has not left the palace is not allowed to think wildly."
Yu Tang laughed hahaha.
She just got the letter from Mrs. Chen and knew that Ma Xiuniang was pregnant, so she came to see her specially.
Ma Xiuniang couldn't help laughing when she saw this. After the laughter was over, her face turned a little sad, and she whispered to Yu Tang: "I knew that the Zhang family's economy was average before I got married. I didn’t expect it to be so bad. My husband was afraid of wronging me, so he kept copying books day and night. I was afraid that he would be in bad health, but he refused to listen no matter how hard I tried to persuade him. He said that when the child was born, the family’s expenses would be greater, so he could prepare first. Get ready first." At this point, she took Yu Tang's hand and said, "If you don't come to me, I'm going to find you - I want to **** a pair of my silver bracelets secretly, can you? Can't you help me go to the **** shop?"
She is in charge of the family's dowry, and only she knows how much money is spent. Although the family cannot make ends meet, Zhang Hui will never use her dowry. Lin'an City says it is not a small sum, and it is not a big sum. Da, as the eldest daughter of Ma Xiucai's family, many people knew her. She did not dare to go to the Pei family's **** shop for fear of being recognized and ruining Zhang Hui's reputation.
Yu Tang has encountered this kind of thing more than once before. A penny can really stump a heroic man.
She immediately shook Ma Xiuniang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you make this trip. I'll treat it as a job for you, and I can redeem it later when my brother-in-law earns money."
It is good to be a five out of ten person alive, but a seven out of ten person, or even an eight out of ten person, when dead.
Ma Xiuniang gritted her teeth and said, "You will treat me as a dead man. When your brother-in-law becomes rich in the future, I will just fight another couple."
Yu Tang can think about it.
In her previous life, when she got married, Ma Xiuniang gave her five taels of silver bracelets as a gift, which showed that her life was good. The difficulties at this time were only temporary, and she could just get over them.
"Sister, please give me the things!" she said. "The Chinese New Year is the most expensive time. I will go quietly and come back quietly."
Ma Xiuniang nodded, tears were about to fall, and she held her hand and said, "Ah Tang, thank you very much."
She was embarrassed to say more, but she felt grateful every bit in her heart.
Yu Tang felt a little guilty.
In her previous life, she actually missed such a good friend.
Thinking of this, she thought of the Li family and the letter she had sent to Hangzhou City to report to the Gu family.
I wonder what the Gu family’s reaction will be?
Gu Xi was extremely angry now.
She knew that someone was plotting against her, but the problem was that what they said was all true and they did not accuse the Li family at all.
But why would the Li family do such a thing?
Is it just that you want to regain your face if your marriage proposal fails?
Then the Li family's mind is not only narrow-minded, it can be said that they will retaliate for their anger.
Should she marry into such a family?
A woman's world is limited to the inner house. From now on, she will eat in the same pot and live in the same yard as Lin. When her upper lips touch her lower lips, if Lin feels upset, she wants to find someone. It's easy for her to get into trouble. Is she just going to spend her life fighting with such a woman?
There is also Li Duan. His stepmother praised him to the heavens, but in fact he is useless. The dignified eldest son of the Li family actually paid tribute to others. He couldn't even handle this and entered the officialdom. , eight or nine times out of ten, he is also a guy who can only struggle at the fourth rank official rank. How about saying that the third generation can see through it, and the fifth generation can see through it? Those who are born in a small family are those who are born in a small family, and they are not celebrities even if they wear brocade clothes!
Gu Xi's beautiful face was as cold as frost and snow.
No, she can't just accept her fate.
She has to tell her eldest brother, her father...and her stepmother about this matter, and don't even think about trying to get it easy.
Gu Xi tightened the sapphire blue plain gray squirrel cloak around her body and said to the wet nurse in a cold voice: "Let's go to see the uncle of the eldest room!"
The nanny always knew that she seemed to be weak but was actually strong-willed. She was startled when she heard this and hurriedly took her hand and said urgently: "Miss, you can't go! After all, this is a matter for the second wife. If the trouble gets bigger, I won’t help you for the sake of face. You’d better wait until the young master comes back!”
Their eldest young master wrote a letter two months ago saying that he would come back with the censor of Zhejiang Province after the new year.
The nurse advised Gu Xi bitterly: "Wait for another month at most. As long as the eldest young master comes back, everything will be solved."
Gu Xi sneered and said: "Of course I have to wait for my eldest brother to come back, but I can't sit still and wait for death. They make me unhappy, and I won't make it easy for them."
The wet nurse said: "Miss, you should think twice before you act. The Yu family brothers and sisters clearly want to anger you and make you uneasy during the New Year."
"Even if this is the case, I can't calm down the matter." Gu Xi raised her eyebrows, her slender willow eyebrows on the temples like sharp knives, she said coldly, "Anyway, no one can stay out of this matter. Let’s start with my good mother. Don’t think that I don’t know about the dirty things she has done over the years. I didn’t tell them in the past because I thought it would be a joke if I told them. It was also our second roommate who was talked about. My face is equally shameless. I didn’t expect that I would endure the retreat and become so cold-eyed that I would interfere in my marriage and try to plot against me!"
She threw away the wet nurse and strode towards the house beyond the long house.
The wet nurse was so anxious that she stamped her feet.
When they first talked about getting married, the eldest lady and she had met each other with their own eyes. Seeing that the uncle was handsome and talented, although the eldest young master was not very happy, it was very rare for a scholar to grow up like this. Acquiesced.
But nothing is perfect in this world.
You have to be good-looking, be able to read, and have a good temperament...
The wet nurse saw Gu Xi's figure disappearing into the corner and quickly chased after him.
Not to mention that the Gu family did not have a good year because of this incident, the Yu family here in Lin'an City was happy. Yu Wen and his family went to their uncle's house early on New Year's Eve, and the female relatives helped while the men sat in the hall chatting.
After a simple meal at noon, the New Year’s Eve dinner in the afternoon seemed particularly grand.
The table was full of cold cuts, hot dishes, seafood, seasonal vegetables, desserts and snacks. Yu Bo opened a jar of Jinhua wine, and all the female relatives in the family filled a glass. He also specially paid tribute to his aunt, thanking her for the incident in the shop. Thank you for your hard work staying at home~IndoMTL.com~ The eldest aunt stood there with a red face, a little at a loss, whether to drink or not. However, Yu Tang was still there cheering: "Dad, look how good my uncle is! No wonder my eldest aunt is not tired even after working so hard. You should also give my mother a toast. My mother has also worked very hard this year. . The rice cakes were made by my mother, right? The maltose was made by my mother, right? And the quilt that my brother used to get married was also embroidered by my mother!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mrs. Wang sounded as if she had suddenly found a soulmate. She turned around and pulled Ms. Chen up and said to Yu Wen, "Not only do you want to toast your brother and sister, but we both also want to drink. Here’s a toast to my brothers and sisters. If it weren’t for you, our Ayuan’s marriage wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”
Ms. Chen was already so embarrassed that blood was dripping from her face when Yu Tang praised her. At this time, Ms. Wang pulled her up and she could not speak: "No, no, no, no... " He also pretended to scold Yu Tang, "You are the only one who talks a lot, why are you so ignorant!"
Fortunately, Yu Wen is a cheeky person. He stood up with a smile and said, "Why don't we say that the elder brother goes first! I have to learn from the elder brother. The child's mother, our daughter is right, I Here’s to you. You’ve worked hard this year.”
Ms. Chen was ashamed and happy, not knowing what to do. She lightly patted the culprit Yu Tang, glared at her, and then raised her glass to drink a glass of wine in embarrassment.
Yu Yuan chuckled.
Shuang Tao, A Tiao, Mrs. Chen and others were all smiling.
Yu Tang’s eyes were filled with tears as he thought about the bleakness of this time in his previous life and then looked at the excitement in front of him.
