Delicate Flower Chapter 144: Anren

Sit down and talk?

Where are the stools here?

Sitting on the Arhat bed?

Isn't that appropriate?

Yu Tang was struggling there when a little maid came in with a black and maroon embroidered embroidered fabric.

She blushed a little, for Lao An... No, the way Pei Yan's mother looked like this actually made it impossible for her to be associated with the title of "Lao An", but it was wrong to call her Mrs. Pei. Madam, it seems that Mr. Pei only had the title of a civil servant, so he cannot be called Madam... But Mr. Pei died while serving as the Minister of Works, and the Minister of Works was a third-rank official. Didn't he ask his mother for a title? No matter how bad it is, he should be a fourth-grade child, right?

Yu Tang didn't know that he was struggling with his face, but he still bent his knees slightly, made a blessing ceremony, and half sat on the embroidered pier.

Lao An found it interesting.

Although this little girl's emotions and desires are not all on her face, a caring person can still see her clearly.

No wonder Xia Guang found her interesting. Seeing that she was always alone and unhappy, he called this little girl into the house to relieve her boredom.

Lao An sat down on the Arhat bed, and Mrs. Chen personally served tea.

She raised her hand holding the teacup and said, "Try the autumn tea sent over from Xinyang a few days ago, do you like it?"

Yu Tang took a sip. It just tastes like ordinary tea leaves. You can't tell what kind of tea it is, but the aftertaste is sweet and the tea smells refreshing. It should be good tea.

The temperature in the room was a bit high, so she took another sip.

Lao An saw it but smiled and said: "How is it? Do you think it tastes good?"

Of course it tastes delicious!

Yu Tang’s words came to her lips when she suddenly remembered her mother’s advice. Looking at Lao An’s grandeur, she probably didn’t know that there were many things she didn’t know. How could she show off in front of Lao An? This sentence may not be able to catch the next sentence. Even if you are lucky enough to catch the next sentence, what about the next sentence?

She decided to go with her heart.

"It tastes good." Yu Tang said politely, "It has a sweet and mellow taste. I don't know what kind of tea it is? I don't know much about tea."

Lao An was a little surprised, but looking at her honest look, he nodded secretly and said with a smile: "The one sent from Xinyang is naturally Xinyang Maojian. This is the tea just picked in autumn, which is commonly known as Qiu Dew tea. ."

Yu Tang doesn’t understand much about this.

In the past, the only teas served at home were Longjing, Biluochun, Lushan Yunwu, etc. She was not familiar with other teas. The Pei family was wealthy, and their children had served as officials in the past dynasties. They must have seen the specialties of various places, not to mention that Lao An was born in a wealthy family, and his knowledge was even more extraordinary.

She immediately wanted to ask for advice and said respectfully: "Is Xinyang only the top of the head?"

Lao An choked up when asked.

She didn’t know whether Xinyang only produced Maojian tea. But the only tea that can be delivered to their house is Maojian, right?

Is this little girl deliberately picking on her? Still don’t understand?

Lao An glanced at Yu Tang.

The big almond eyes are clear in black and white, as bright as stars, flickering, and they really look curious.

Lao An coughed uncomfortably and said, "You have to ask Hu Xing and the others. The only drink I've had over the years is Maojian."

That's natural.

Of course it is the best thing to give.

Yu Tang nodded sincerely.

Lao An felt that the topic should no longer revolve around their family affairs, otherwise they would be too passive, so he asked: "I heard that you are good at making snacks. What kind of snacks are you good at?"

Yu Tang blushed and said, "My mother is very good at making snacks. I'm just messing around and don't dare to praise Lao An."

Lao An was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you make the peanut cake I sent you last time? I ate it and thought it was okay."

Yu Tang felt guilty.

She made the peanut cake, but she didn't come up with it. She just ate it in her previous life, listened to other people's instructions on how to make it, and went back to study it carefully for a long time before she came up with the craftsmanship in this life.

"I made that peanut cake." She blushed slightly, "But the heat and other things were made by my mother who was helping to watch it."

Lao An was a little disappointed.

She didn't really call people here just to eat a few peanut brittle. You know, she doesn't even need to say it, as long as she reveals that she wants to eat peanut cakes, there will be a lot of people fawning over her, and someone will hold the peanut cakes for her to taste. She met Yu Tang specifically. Firstly, it was because of her son's tactful encouragement. She did not want to ruin her younger son's face and wanted him to feel at ease. Secondly, after she stopped being a clan concubine, she lived as a widow in Hemingtang, and her life suddenly became quiet. She was not used to it for a while and wanted to find someone to talk to. But now that I met Miss Yu, I found that except for her beautiful face, there was nothing particularly amazing about her speech or temperament.

Then let’s have a cup of tea and enjoy some things and let them take them home.

Lao An was thinking about it and asked Yu Tang what he usually did at home, where he read the books, and common things like whether his parents were still in good health.

Yu Tang answered them one by one with a smile.

That smile, the stretched brows and eyes, look particularly sweet.

The more you look at it, the better it looks.

The little girls at home really can’t compare.

Even among the in-laws, this is also the first one.

It’s just that beautiful girls are easy to find, but smart girls are not so easy to meet.

Lao An smiled slightly, thinking that no matter what, she was recommended to her by her son, and she had to find something worthy of praise no matter what, so that Miss Yu would feel proud in front of the servant girl, and then come to Pei The mansion can make people take a high look.

She saw the camphor silk flowers on Yu Tang's head at a glance.

“This flower is really unique.” The old man said with a smile, “Did you buy it from Suzhou? Or are Su-style silk flowers also sold in Lin’an City now?”

Yu Tang smiled and touched the silk flowers on the edge of the bun, and said: "I made this myself. However, it looks like a Soviet-style imitation. Lao An has really good taste."

"Oh!" Lao An suddenly became interested and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a pair of skillful hands."

She can't even embroider a handkerchief by herself, but she especially likes little girls with dexterous hands.

Yu Tang said sheepishly: "It's not really a skill, I just use it to pass the time when I have nothing to do." After saying that, she said tentatively, "If you think they look good, I'll go back and make some for you. Okay. I don’t know what color you like? What style? I can also make bees, butterflies and the like, which can stop on flowers. Do you want me to make a few for you individually? They can also be hung on the skirt of your clothes. I feel like It’s also quite interesting.”

"You actually do this?" Lao An said in surprise, "Hang it on your clothes? How do you hang it?"

Yu Tang explained to her carefully: "Like a dragonfly, you can make it the same size as a real one, then use some glass beads to make eyes, gauze to make wings, and then add tassels to hang it as an ornament. On the lapel."

Lao An was very interested when he heard this and said: "Besides doing these, what else can you do?"

Yu Tang smiled and said: "I can basically make anything to wear on my head. I even made a forehead bandanna with jeweled flowers for my mother-in-law."

A widow cannot dress too gorgeously, but as long as one loves beauty, it is impossible not to dress up at all.

Lao Anren said: "Then you can make me some plain silk flowers? It will be the Double Ninth Festival in a few days, and several juniors in the family will come over to say hello to me." After saying that, she remembered that today has already happened. It was the fifth day of September, so I was afraid it would be too late, so he smiled and said, "Just give it to me before the first day of October. Then I will go to Zhaoming Temple with brothers Qiming and Xia Guang to perform a ritual for their father."

After speaking, her eyes darkened slightly and she sighed almost inaudibly.

Yu Tang’s eyes were slightly sore.

Back then, she had no relationship with Li Jun. When the Li family was widowed, she would sigh for Li Jun's parents when she thought of Li Jun's early death. Lao An and Mrs. Pei have lived together for more than thirty years and have given birth to three sons. Now when I think of my deceased husband, I don’t know why I feel so uncomfortable!

She said hurriedly: "I like to make silk flowers when I have nothing to do. I still have a few that are about to be finished at home. I will let someone bring them to you first. After the Double Ninth Festival, I will make a few more for you. Okay."

To suit the occasion, Yu Tang had made several dark green and pink chrysanthemums before. Pink is not suitable, but dark green Lao An should be able to wear it, right?

She thought about it in her mind.

Lao An already said: "If you are not free, just ask the maid at home to bring it over. If you are free, just come to my place with the silk flowers and talk with me."

Yu Tang responded respectfully, thinking that Xiaguang was the name of Pei Yan, and Qiming should be the name of Pei Xuan, the second master of the Pei family. I wonder if they can also go to the dojo to offer incense to Mrs. Pei on the first day of October?

She chatted with Lao An for a while in Pei Mansion. When she saw a mother-in-law coming in to ask Lao An for instructions, she hurriedly stood up and left.

Lao An didn't keep her around either. He asked her to make the silk flowers and then go into the house. He pointed at Aunt Ji and said, "If you have anything to do in the future, just come to her."

Yu Tang responded respectfully and followed Aunt Ji out of the courtyard where Lao An lived.

Aunt Ji then showed a happy expression and said to her: "Miss Yu is really rare. Whose girl has our Lao An invited into his house in these years? When you go back, remember to tell your mother."

From now on, Yu Tang will have someone to help him no matter what he does. approximately I thanked him and told Mrs. Chen when I got back.

Ms. Chen was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She kept urging her to take out all the finished silk flowers and try to pick out some plain colors and send them to Pei's house. He also went to find a tailor at home and made several plain clothes for Yu Tang. He also said, "It's the first time you go to someone's home to be a guest and you dress more formally to show respect. If you come and go often, you have to follow the local customs and go to see Lao An." It’s not easy for people to dress too brightly.”

Yu Tang feels that Lao An, like Pei Yan, is not someone who is easy to get close to. If he could unintentionally be valued by Lao An because of Silk Flower, he might fall out of favor at some point, so there is no need to go out of his way to do this. Make clothes. But Mrs. Chen didn't listen, thinking that even if Lao An's novelty wore off after a while, it would still be good to make a few more clothes to wear.

She doesn’t argue with her mother, as long as her mother is happy!

Yu Tang picked out a few more beautiful ones from the box containing silk flowers, put them in a new round-mouthed box with red paint, and went to Pei's house.
