Delicate Flower Chapter 133: Tianwa
What’s the point of understanding it? If you can’t understand it, you still can’t understand it. Yu Tang remembered what Pei Yan said, asking her father if she couldn't understand the words. No, she decided to think about it slowly by herself. If she couldn't understand, she would check the "Jiezi" at home, and then write down the accumulated questions. On a note, when the weather is not so hot, I will go back to the farm and ask the old people who know how to farm.
Without Yu Tang’s objection, Yu Wen’s investment in Jiang Chao’s business went very smoothly.
Not only did he take Mr. Wu to meet Jiang Chao, but he also went to Ningbo Mansion with Mr. Wu. After returning, Mr. Wu, like Yu Wen, prepared to increase the stock capital by 500 taels, but Yu Yuan said something bad to him. Stop it.
Afterwards, Yu Yuan couldn't help but talk about this incident when he came to Yu Tang's house for dinner: "Master Jiang is really powerful. Anyone who has dealt with him will be influenced by him. In this regard, I You have to learn from him."
Yu Tang also felt it.
She put the Huang Gelan she had just picked in a small bamboo box and handed it to Yu Yuan: "It's for aunt and sister-in-law. I won't go there. You can help bring it to aunt and sister-in-law."
Yu Tang’s family did not plant a yellow orchid tree.
Yu Yuan asked curiously: "Where did the flowers come from? What have you been doing these days? Why didn't I see you playing at home?"
He has been in the shop all this time.
Summer is the time when lacquerware shops come alive. One technique for red-painting is to apply paint repeatedly. The number of times affects not only the service life but also the appearance of the finished product. Don’t be careless at all. Usually at this time, the Yu family will be in Watching in person in the shop.
Yu Tang said: "Huang Gelan was given by Mrs. Zhang. Isn't she going to give birth in the next few days? My mother and I went to see her."
As for what she was doing in the room these days, she was too embarrassed to tell Yu Yuan.
The main reason is that even if she has the book "Jie Zi", she still has difficulty reading the books Pei Yan gave her.
This may be because she is not as smart as Pei Yan.
When Yu Yuan heard what Yu Tang said, his face turned red and he stopped talking.
Yu Tang was very surprised, but Mrs. Chen called her to help Mrs. Chen go to the warehouse to move jars of wine to Yu Wen and Mr. Wu who were drinking in front. She had no time to ask in detail. When she thought about it again, Yu Tang Yuan had already helped the slightly drunk Mr. Wu to leave.
She couldn't help but be curious and wanted to find an opportunity to ask Yu Yuan. But early the next morning, the Zhang family came to report that Ma Xiuniang had given birth to a daughter in the middle of the night.
Ms. Chen was overjoyed, and while packing up the small clothes and quilts prepared for Ma Xiuniang's child, she chattered with Yu Tang: "Xiuniang is really lucky. She has a daughter and a son, so the word 'good' can be combined. I don’t know when your marriage will be settled? I don’t know in my heart, but your father said there is no rush. You are sixteen this year, and you will be seventeen after the new year."
Yu Tang didn't dare to say anything.
After the New Year, several matchmakers came to her, and neither Chen nor Yu Wen were satisfied. Yu Wen always remembered Shen Shanyan's words and felt that Yu Tang was capable and decisive. It would be a pity to betroth her to anyone casually. He simply said: "Our family is looking for a son-in-law, not a girl. We are afraid that it will be delayed because of her age? What's more, someone like Ah For people like Tang, if you are older, you have to be more stable. If there is nothing good, just take your time and don't rush. As the old saying goes, female juniors should hold on to gold bricks? If not, look for younger ones."
Ms. Chen was extremely anxious.
I'm thinking about talking to Mrs. Ma when I go to see Ma Xiuniang, and ask Mrs. Ma to help keep an eye on whether there is a suitable candidate to propose marriage to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang thinks her father's words make sense.
She doesn't want to start a family at all now. Instead of finding someone to start a family, it's better to wait for the right person.
But she can also understand Chen's mood, so whenever Chen talks about these things, she always smiles by her side, fearing to make her mother sad.
The two men hired two sedan chairs and went to Zhang's house.
Mrs. Ma and several sisters-in-law had arrived early and were sitting around Ma Xiuniang, who had a bandage on her forehead, asking questions. Seeing Mrs. Chen and her daughter coming over, Mrs. Ma hurriedly stood up and told Magpie to pour brown sugar water in. Mrs. Ma's sisters-in-law also hurriedly made room for Mrs. Chen and her daughter to sit.
Ms. Chen took Ma Xiuniang's hand and asked about the birth last night.
Yu Tang saw that Ma Xiuniang's face was rosy and energetic. She thought that even if she suffered a lot during the birth, she could recover like this overnight. She must be in good health, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She couldn't help but focus on just now. On the born child.
The pink-green swaddling clothes wrapped a little person about an arm long, with a small red face, closed eyes, and a mouth smaller than a cherry, slightly open. That cute look made Yu Tang feel sad. Warmth flows.
In her previous life, she held her breath and carried Li Jun's memorial tablet into Li's house to become a widow. After those long and lonely days, she truly realized how difficult it was to be a widow. When Hua Xin reaches the age of Hua Xin, seeing Gu Xi surrounded by children and thinking that she will never have a child of her own in this life, her heart will feel sour and bitter, and she will laugh unconsciously when she looks at other people's children. Especially Gu Xi's two children, even when they were having the most unpleasant troubles with Gu Xi, they would occasionally bring out the most delicious food when they met them.
At this moment, when she met Ma Xiuniang's daughter and her best friend, her heart suddenly turned to water, and she couldn't help but bend down to hug the child.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Chen grabbed Yu Tang and said with a smile, "The child is still young, so I can't help you playing around like this. You just have to look at it, but you can't just pick it up casually. Be careful. Her small waist and small arms."
But Mrs. Ma laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. She can hug her if she wants to. Just tell her how to hold her." After saying that, she even jokingly said, "Maybe our Xiu Niang will still count on Ah Tang in the future. Come over and help her hold the baby!"
Ms. Chen said politely: "It will be her turn!"
Yu Tang was eager to try, but was slapped again by Mrs. Chen.
Everyone burst into laughter.
The magpie came in and invited everyone to eat sugar-water eggs in the hall.
Everyone got up and went to the hall.
Yu Tang volunteered to stay with Ma Xiuniang, and after spending some time, he finally learned how to hold the child.
As soon as the child took advantage of it, she couldn't help but shrug slightly.
Ma Xiuniang became a mother for the first time. She thought about how her mother had hugged her brother like this when she was a child, so she didn’t care. She let Yu Tang hold her and chatted with Yu Tang: “…I had a lot of nicknames before. What’s his name? Fu, A Bao, and A Zhu are really rubbish. You said, your brother-in-law is a scholar after all, why is it so difficult to choose a name? According to me, the child was born in the evening, so he will be called Wanxia or Wanxia. Sunny sounds better!"
Yu Tang was extremely envious. She pursed her lips and smiled while listening to Ma Xiuniang's words. When she got home at night, she suddenly found that she couldn't even lift her arms.
Ms. Chen smiled and said: "That's right! I told you not to hold the baby all the time, but you didn't listen. Now you know how powerful it is!"
Yu Tang chuckled and couldn't help but go to Zhang's house to see the children the next day. He didn't even bother to read the books Pei Yan gave him. On the day of the Baptism, she even encouraged her mother to throw away a piece of silver - gifts were not given to unmarried girls attending the Baptism.
Mrs. Ma knew this and hugged Yu Tang affectionately. She smiled and said to the female family members who came to attend the baptism ceremony: "Look at what our aunt A Tang did. When Qing'er grows up, she must remember to honor her aunt. !"
Ma Xiuniang’s child was named Zhang Qing, and her baby name was Qing’er. For this reason, Ma Xiuniang complained to Yu Tang: "Your brother-in-law said he was afraid that if he was called too many names, the children would get confused, so he asked me to call him that."
Yu Tang laughed loudly.
Zhang Qing looked different every day, which surprised her.
After running away from the Zhang family for half a decade, the consequences came out.
Zhang Qing couldn't sleep without anyone to hold her. Zhang Qing's wet nurse, Magpie, and Ma Xiuniang all took turns holding the baby. Therefore, Zhang Hui had two dark circles under her eyes every day to organize full-moon drinks for her baby. , Ma Xiuniang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and called Yu Tang: "From today on, you will sleep at our house and hold Qing'er for an hour every day so that we can have a rest."
Yu Tang laughed and ran away after a while. When he returned, he asked Chen: "Is it really my fault?"
"Who are you?" Mrs. Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she found out. She nodded her daughter's forehead fiercely, and then said with emotion, "Mr. Zhang is really good. He also helps Xiu Niang take care of her children. If your future husband is If Mr. Zhang is half as good, I will be satisfied."
Yu Tang pouted and said, "Don't worry, my future husband will definitely be a hundred times better than Young Master Zhang."
"Just brag to me!" Mrs. Chen snorted, "Look at how well your father spoils you."
Yu Tang smiled and went to squeeze Chen's shoulders.
Yu Wen's voice came from outside the door: "Ah Tang, come out quickly. The sea buckthorn tree sapling I asked Mr. Shen to get for you is back."
Yu Tang was overjoyed and ran out.
Ms. Chen chased after her: "Slow down and be careful where you step."
"I know, I know!" Yu Tang responded with a smile all the way to the front yard.
The silver bell-like laughter echoed in the courtyard with the wind, making Mrs. Chen, who was standing under the verandah looking at her daughter's back, curl up into a smile.
Yu Tang saw a car with saplings parked in front of their house from a distance. Besides Yu Wen, there was also a man in his twenties with tanned skin and a sturdy build standing beside the door.
She said "Huh".
Yu Wen waved to her and said: "This is the tree planter Mr. Shen helped us find, named Wang Si. I have already told A Tiao to take Wang Si to find the fifth uncle and plant the tree first. Yes, I’ll rush back with you tomorrow morning.”
Yu Tang said "hmm" and looked at the saplings on the car.
The saplings were about three feet high, with their roots wrapped in thick soil and cloth. They were piled high, with about a dozen trees in total.
No wonder it's so expensive. ~IndoMTL.com~ It was brought from the northwest like this. Not to mention anything else, just this person and the mule pulling the cart would get a lot of money.
She asked Wang Si: "Where are you from?"
Wang Si’s words were half-understandable, and it took Yu Tang several times to understand that it was “Xi’an”.
Yu Tang said: "Didn't you say you are from Gansu?"
Wang Si smiled and said nothing.
Yu Wen coughed twice softly and explained: "A batch of saplings died on the road before, so Mr. Shen asked someone from the Ministry of Revenue to ask for it. It happened that someone from the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to do something. He heard that In this matter, I took the initiative to take over the job..."
This is not just a matter of a few trees.
I owe you a favor for this tree.
How can she explain this if she can’t get the candied fruit?
