Delicate Flower Chapter 143: Enter the mansion
But before Yu Tang could visit Pei Yan, the Pei family came to visit Yu Tang first.
The person who came was Hu Xing, the third manager.
He was very attentive. He sat in the hall of the Yu family and said to Yu Wen and Chen happily: "...We Lao An are not ordinary housewives. That year, Mrs. Yi was ill, and their family Our Lao An people helped arrange everything. Moreover, since the old lady left, our Lao An people have closed the door to thank guests. Even if the eldest wife’s aunt and uncle came over, our Lao An people only met once. Now they say that they want to Taking your girl into the house and sitting there is a favor that no one can ask for. You have to tell Miss Yu to take good care of her. Our Lao An loves pretty girls the most!"
Yu Wen was very surprised.
Ms. Chen was so happy that she didn’t even know what to say.
Yu Tang's marriage has not been settled to this day. As the most prominent family in Lin'an City, if Yu Tang can win the favor of Pei Lao'an, she will definitely become famous, which will be very beneficial to her marriage.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Hu." Because she often brought Dr. Yang over to consult her, Mrs. Chen and Hu Xing were quite familiar with each other, so they were not as reserved as ordinary people when talking, "We will definitely not let Mr. Hu down. Please sit down for a while, and I will send someone to prepare a banquet so that our master can have a good drink with you."
Ms. Chen motioned to Mrs. Chen to prepare some gifts for Hu Xing later.
Hu Xing waved his hands repeatedly and said: "We are not outsiders. Mrs. Yu and I don't have to be so polite. I followed Lao An's order and was about to go to the shopkeeper Tong Da, but I met Zheng Da at the door. The steward was coming to deliver a letter to your family, so I took the initiative to ask for his help and ran over. I still have something to do over there. After I finish my work for a while, I will find an opportunity to pay a special visit to Mr. Yu."
He thought, if Miss Yu's visit to the house caught Lao An's eye, the Yu family and the Pei family would start to move around. He would come to please him no matter what, and his relationship with the Yu family , it also needs to be one level closer.
Yu Wen smiled and said, "Listening to Manager Hu's tone, are you now working as an errand in front of Mr. Lao An?"
Hu Xing's eyes narrowed as he listened and laughed: "You are really sharp-eyed. No, I helped Lao An with a few things a few days ago. Lao An thought it was okay, so he let me I'm specifically working as an errand in front of her old man. Isn't shopkeeper Tong in charge of the pawnshop in Lin'an City? It will be Song Lao'an's birthday in a few days, and Lao An asked me to see if there are any rare things in his place. I’m going to pick up two pieces and send them over.”
Yu Wen couldn't keep him, so he sent him out personally.
On the other hand, Mrs. Chen immediately got ready happily. She ran to Yutang and told her the reason for Hu Xing's visit, and took her to the silver building: "I have to go see if there are any new-style jewelry and buy a few pieces. I have to buy some clothes. I have heard that the Qian family has been officials for generations and is one of the four major families in Jiangnan. If Old Mrs. Pei hadn't been so handsome, the elders of the Qian family would not have taken a fancy to Old Mrs. Pei. Back then, Lao'an people marry low."
Yu Tang couldn’t laugh or cry.
In her previous life, she was also very nervous when she first came into contact with the three aunts and six dependents of the Li family. Later, she discovered that sometimes the more normal you are, the easier it is to integrate into the surrounding environment.
However, Pei Yan attaches great importance to appearance. This is her first official visit to the Pei Mansion to visit the female family members of the Pei family. She has to dress up well. This is also to respect Pei Lao'an. But on the morning when she went to Pei's house, it suddenly started to rain and the weather was a bit gloomy. She specially chose a silver-red persimmon pattern with bright yellow ruffles, a white stand-up collared coat, and pearls the size of lotus seeds as buttons, which perfectly matched the pair of pearl earrings hanging on her ears. , wearing a pair of bright yellow lotus flowers on their heads. Dressed up, Yu Tang looked even more graceful and graceful, with skin as smooth as snow, brightening up the dim hall.
Mr. Chen kept praising: "Our young ladies have to dress up well. Look, this dress really looks like a fairy descending to earth."
Ms. Chen pursed her lips and smiled, obviously agreeing with Mrs. Chen's statement.
Yu Tang looked at himself in the mirror, dazed with powder, and was dazed for a moment.
She had never dressed up like this in her previous life, and she had never had the opportunity to look in the mirror as carefully as she did now. She didn't expect that she was really beautiful. No wonder Gu Xi in her previous life looked at her with a hint of jealousy every time she knew Li Duan had evil intentions towards her.
But it is a woman’s nature to love beauty.
She was beautifully dressed, and she was happy to see her, let alone others.
Yu Tang sat in front of the dressing mirror, watching her mother apply rose-colored lipstick on her, and felt that her face looked whiter.
She raised her head and smiled at her mother.
Ms. Chen touched her head lovingly and said warmly: "The sedan is ready. Remember to be careful in your words and deeds when you go in. If Mr. Lao An rewards you with anything, you can follow it generously. , at worst, we will return the favor later. When I ask you, you have to be one if you have one, and two if you have two. You would rather make people think you are honest and can be bullied, than be glib and frivolous. Do you understand?"
Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, water gleaming in his eyes.
In her previous life, her mother did not live long enough to teach her this.
She will be protected by her mother, father and brother in this life, so she will definitely go smoothly.
She hugged her mother's waist, fearing that the powder would rub on her mother's clothes. She did not dare to bury her head in her mother's arms, but leaned gently against her mother's side.
Ms. Chen also warned Shuangtao: "Inside the bag is Miss's change of clothes and jewelry. You have to keep a close eye on it. Don't be unprepared when Miss wants to change clothes and make the Pei family laugh. Don't talk too much. , listen more and watch more, since you followed the lady into the Pei Mansion, you are the face of the lady and the face of our Yu family. If you do something wrong, you will be praised by the Yu family instead of you."
"I know!" Shuangtao almost swore and said with a sullen face, "I will never let the Pei family look down upon me."
Yu Tang said: "Don't be nervous, just go to Pei's house as usual. Treating people with sincerity is the best."
Shuang Tao promised, but still didn't let go at all. Instead, he became even more nervous than before.
Yu Tang laughed and took Shuang Tao to Pei's house under the protection of A Tiao.
Because he was going to meet Mr. Pei Lao'an, the sedan didn't stop until it reached the Chuihua Gate.
The person who came to greet her was actually an acquaintance - Aunt Ji who had received her when she came to pay homage to Mrs. Pei.
Aunt Ji and shopkeeper Tong Da are still sons and daughters.
Yu Tang felt even more friendly looking at it.
She sweetly called out "Aunt Ji".
Aunt Ji originally stood solemnly, but when she saw her, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. When she heard Yu Tang calling her, she couldn't help but smile and whispered: "Miss Yu, come with me. ”
"Yes!" Yu Tang responded and couldn't help but whisper: "Aunt Ji, are you working as an errand at Lao Anren's house now?"
Aunt Ji nodded and said: "After the old man passed away, Lao An let some people go out. My family has been working in the Pei family for several generations, so I must stay in the Pei family. Lao An let me stay in her old man's house. She became a stewardess in the house."
In other words, because they serve Lao An, the young and old men of the Pei family have to treat her respectfully.
"Oh! Congratulations!" Yu Tang was happy for her.
Aunt Ji smiled at her and felt that this young lady from the Yu family had a really good temper. She always spoke and acted in a kind manner, and she was always smiling, making people happy just to see her. She was worse than the other young ladies in the family. much better.
No wonder the third master always mentioned Miss Yu in front of Lao An, intentionally or unintentionally, and asked the servants around him to encourage Lao An to take Miss Yu to the house to play.
Lao An will definitely like it after seeing it.
Because there were familiar people talking quietly, Yu Tang felt that the fifteen-minute journey had passed in the blink of an eye.
They stopped in front of a large five-room house and stood in front of the black window lattice with white gauze and waited. A little maid opened the white brocade plywood curtain and went in to let in.
Soon a fat white woman wearing camphor velvet armor came out to greet her with a smile: "Is this Miss Yu? I am Aunt Chen from Lao An's house. Lao An has been waiting for you. Come with me in quickly."
Yu Tang saw that the woman was wearing a thick gold bracelet with a lotus stem on her hand, and guessed that she was probably a respectable woman in Lao An's house. She smiled and thanked her, and followed her into the house.
It was not yet the cold winter season, but a kang was already burning in Lao An’s house. A burst of hot air rushed towards him, and Yu Tang immediately broke out in sweat on his forehead.
Aunt Ji quickly reminded her: "Give me the cloak. Just ask me for it when you leave."
Yu Tang hurriedly took off his cloak and followed Aunt Chen into the second room on the east side.
The secondary room and the top room on the east side are opened up, forming a two-room open hall. The Duobao Pavilion against the wall is full of books. In the middle is an Arhat bed, covered with scarlet mattresses. To the left of the Arhat's bed is a large blue and white porcelain vat, which holds water lilies and koi carp. Standing in front of the vat is a woman wearing a blue Hangzhou silk plain jacket. She is tall and slender, with black hair. She is holding a sweet treat in her hand. A small white porcelain bowl is feeding the fish in the tank.
A few maids stood silently in the corner with lowered eyebrows. Yu Tang didn't even notice when he came in.
"It's the young lady from the Yu family here!" The woman who heard the noise turned around.
Yu Tang was shocked.
The woman looks five or six times similar to Pei Yan. Her eyes are bright and sharp. When she looks at her, she seems to be able to see all her internal organs clearly. It makes people stand in front of her. There is a kind of trepidation that has nothing to hide.
Is this Pei Laoan? !
The corners of Yu Tang's mouth were slightly open, and his expression looked a little silly.
Such an aura~IndoMTL.com~ Although there are fine lines at the corners of the eyes and forehead, he looks like he is in his forties at most. He does not look like he has a son as old as Mr. Pei, let alone She turned out to be a widowed old lady.
How did she do it? !
Yu Tang felt that he was still a lonely person at the beginning, and he was not as energetic and understanding as Pei Lao'an.
Pei Laoan smiled when he saw it.
It's really interesting.
No wonder his son secretly planned to call this little girl into the house to accompany her.
The maids next to her look happy, but you don’t know when the happiness is real and when it is fake. The few maids in the house are good-looking and smart in speech, but they are too good at talking. Looking at her eyes, he wanted to flatter her but still maintain his identity. It's not as good as having the maid next to you to make people feel light.
Lao An handed the small bowl in his hand to the little maid serving beside him, took the hot handkerchief handed over by Aunt Chen, wiped his hands, and said: "Sit down and talk!"
