Delicate Flower Chapter 159: Alert

If it was normal, it would be easy to say, but at this moment Mrs. Shen finished her sentence, Lao An did not answer, and the second lady's cold snort fell clearly on everyone's ears.

Mrs. Shen's face changed drastically, and her eyes turned a little hateful when she looked at the second young lady.

Since you dare to do it, you must dare to do it.

Yu Tang pretended not to see it.

Aunt Chen who was serving next to her could not let the atmosphere get too bad. She smiled quickly and said: "Mrs. Shen has just recovered from a serious illness. I don't know what the doctor has told me? I can also tell the maids and servants to stay away." Click."

Stomach discomfort is not a strange disease. Most servants from wealthy families have common sense in this regard. Aunt Chen clearly wants to smooth things over by asking this question.

Lao An didn't know whether it was because he was guarding his shortcomings or because he didn't like Mrs. Shen, so he didn't stop her. Everyone else looked at Lao An and acted like a quail.

Mrs. Shen's face turned even more ugly, and she was about to say something.

Gu Xi glanced at Yu Tang quickly.

She didn't expect that Miss Yu was a coward. She stayed out of the incident and watched An Ran's excitement. So what did Lao An ask her to do?

Is it because she is obedient?

But which of the ladies in the Pei family is disobedient?

Does Laoan have to bring someone else’s girl with him just to find an obedient girl?

Gu Xi secretly despised Yu Tang in her heart. She felt a little irritable, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she said with a smile: "Let Mrs. Chen worry about it. The doctor didn't have any special instructions. He just told him to eat less spicy food for the past two or three days. Just something."

She has to find a way to figure out why Lao An called Yu Tang to stay in another courtyard!

Aunt Chen over there breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Xi answering.

She has served Lao An for so many years, and she knows Lao An's temper. Especially after the old man left, Lao An has become more and more free from scruples, not to mention people like Mrs. Shen, the Song family My eldest wife, she always criticizes her whenever she wants, and doesn't show any mercy at all.

Now that Miss Gu has given this matter a new level, she naturally wants to take it in her hands. She immediately smiled and said: "I have also heard of avoiding spicy food. Although the food at home is usually light, but what? Just be afraid of anything unexpected. I will tell those maids and women." After saying that, he immediately called a maid over and said, "In addition to telling the kitchen, Mrs. Shen's waiters should also tell them clearly. . If there is any mistake, watch your skin carefully!"

The little maid responded obediently and quickly retreated.

Aunt Chen asked Mrs. Shen: "Have you had dinner? Do you want more?"

This is a bit rude to ask.

Usually if you want to keep someone for dinner, you will directly ask them to stay instead of asking if they want to stay.

Besides, aren’t Mrs. Shen and the others here just for dinner?

Mrs. Shen’s eyebrows raised when she heard this.

Gu Xi came to the rescue again.

Before Mrs. Shen could speak, she smiled and said: "I'm afraid that there is no preparation in the kitchen, so I asked He Xiang to tell the lady who is serving in our courtyard and bring our dinner there. Come over here?"

This means I must stay for dinner.

Lao An glanced at Mrs. Shen.

Veins appeared on Mrs. Shen's forehead, but she did not refute Gu Xi's words.

Lao An smiled and said: "It's okay! Mrs. Shen can't eat spicy food, but I don't like anything spicy. Mrs. Shen is just right. If she does it again, it will be my fault."

Do you like spicy food in Lao'an?

This is the first time Yu Tang has heard of it.

Gu Xi smiled and said, "I heard from my aunts before that Lao An once lived with Mr. Qian, who was an official in Changsha Mansion, for a while. I didn't expect that Lao An's taste would become mild. Hunan people are the same."

This was the first time Yu Tang heard such a thing. She looked at Lao An in surprise.

Lao An, who had been tense just now, smiled when she heard this. She sighed in a recalling tone: "That was more than fifty years ago!"

Gu Xi smiled and said: "No matter how long it takes, everyone will remember it. I heard my brother say a few days ago that when his senior brother went to Changsha Mansion, he went to the canal that the great master built back then. , and also said that even though more than fifty years have passed, the irrigation in Ningxiang still relies on the canals built by the great master when he was in office! Everyone is grateful for the grace of the great master, and some people still provide support to the great master. Where is the tablet!"

"Really?" Lao An was surprised and happy. His eyes looking at Gu Xi no longer looked cold as before, but became warmer. "Does anyone still remember my father?"

"Really!" Yu Xi nodded, with a sincere expression, and said, "My brother wrote back to say this, otherwise how would I know? And my brother's letter was not written to me, but to It belongs to my eldest uncle. He said that when you are an official, you should be like the great master, and let my eldest uncle educate the children in the family to learn from the great master."

"Oh, I have made you worry about it, brother." Lao An was polite, but his face turned into a smile, and he also talked about following his father in office when he was a child.

Gu Xi chimed in a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was warm.

Yu Tang admired him very much.

In her previous life, she still underestimated her.

It makes sense why she is so popular.

The conversation between the two did not stop until the second wife arrived. In this way, Lao An was still interested and talked about the matter with the second wife for a long time.

Obviously this is not the first time the second wife has heard of this. She not only responded with a smile, but also said: "Mom, my grandfather's death anniversary is coming soon. Do you want to go and tell the master of Zhaoming Temple to do some land and water dojo for my grandfather?"

"That's no need." Lao An sighed, "You have never been in contact with your grandfather. He has a stubborn temper. Before his death, he left a will that he wanted to burn his body and scatter his ashes. In the West Lake. Your uncle was so frightened that he had no idea. He specially asked the patriarch of the family to come forward, and then buried your grandfather in the ancestral grave. Sometimes I wonder who Xia Guang followed this temper. He followed your grandfather. But your grandmother and grandfather didn't think so, and they particularly liked his temperament. Otherwise, your grandmother wouldn't have left all her dowry to Xia Guang when she left. You had just gotten married at that time. Here!"

Pei Yan's uncle is Lao'an's younger brother.

Isn't it because Pei Yan is his grandson?

Yu Tang disagrees.

However, from what Lao An said, Pei Yan does look a lot like his grandfather.

He actually wanted to burn his body and even scatter his ashes... She couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it.

The second wife may not be dissatisfied with Pei Yan for inheriting her grandfather's property, but it is true that she is very good at talking.

"Grandpa always does whatever he wants. Third uncle is like grandfather. Grandpa also likes third uncle, so he wants to leave his own things to third uncle. Moreover, it is better for grandfather's things to be in the hands of third uncle than in our hands. , this can be regarded as a sword given to a hero." She said with a full smile, "It will be a good story if it spreads."

Lao An looked happy and relieved, shook the second wife's hand and nodded.

Zhuzhu came in and whispered that the food was ready.

The second wife took Lao An and stood up.

A group of people followed Lao An to the west to have a meal.

Mrs. Shen and the second wife sat next to Lao An.

Gu Xi sat under Mrs. Shen, Yu Tang sat under the second wife, and several Miss Pei sat down by age.

The meal was eaten peacefully without any trouble.

After the meal, Lao An was in a good mood, and everyone went back to the east corner to drink tea and talk.

The topic shifted from Mrs. Qian before the meal to the snow scene of Phoenix Mountain.

Phoenix Mountain is located on the outskirts of Hangzhou. When it comes to the snowy scenery of Phoenix Mountain, Gu Xi certainly has the say.

She vividly talked about following Gu Chaoyang to Fenghuang Mountain to catch sparrows when she was a child.

Several Miss Pei, including Lao An, the second wife and Mrs. Shen all listened with great interest. Only Yu Tang sneered in his heart.

In her previous life, she also heard Gu Xi talk about catching sparrows.

It is not in Phoenix Mountain, but in Yongfu Temple located in the western suburbs of Hangzhou.

According to Gu Xi in her previous life, it was the tenth anniversary of her mother's death, and it was the first time she followed her brother Gu Chaoyang to the temple to do monastic training for her mother.

She believed what Gu Xi said in her previous life even more.

But Yu Tang still admires Gu Xi for being able to perform to this extent on the spot.

The room was bustling when Aunt Ji walked in with a cautious look and said a few words in Lao An's ear.

The smile on Lao An’s face suddenly disappeared.

The fifth lady was so frightened that she grabbed Ashan's skirt behind her.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to be frozen.

Gu Xi looked hesitant.

Yu Tang knew that she felt that she should say goodbye but did not want to lose the opportunity to get close to Lao An.

Some opportunities are fleeting.

Before Gu Xi had time to speak, Lao An said calmly: "Since she is interested, let her come in!" After saying that, he glanced at Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was confused, but Gu Xi had a bad feeling in her heart.

Yu Tang and several Miss Pei held their breath in silence.

After a while, Aunt Ji walked in with a woman wearing silk clothes.

Yu Tang was so frightened that he almost screamed.

The person who came turned out to be Mrs. Pei.

Yu Tang took a closer look, but she hadn’t seen her for more than a year~IndoMTL.com~ Mrs. Pei seemed to be ten years older than when Yu Tang first saw her. He had discolored hair, obvious wrinkles, and a haggard look, as if his muscles and bones had been cramped all of a sudden and he had lost his energy.

"Mother!" The eldest lady greeted Lao An respectfully, with a humble expression, without the dignity and arrogance from before.

Yu Tang was at a loss for a moment.

What happened to the eldest lady in the past year? Why is she in another courtyard? Have you lived here since the old lady died? Or did Lao An bring his eldest wife with him when he went into the mountains this time?

Yu Tang felt like a tsunami in her heart, and she was afraid that others would see her surprise, so she lowered her head and drank tea in a disguised manner.

When she was putting down the tea cup, the corner of her eye accidentally glanced at Gu Xi and found that she was also lowering her head to drink tea.

Yu Tang smiled bitterly.

Lao An has already said to the eldest wife: "You are not in good health now, and you have to ask Doctor Yang to come over every month to check Ping An's pulse. You should rest more. I have my second daughter-in-law with me. There are a few girls with you, so there is nothing for you to do, just take care of yourself."
