Delicate Flower Chapter 161: Snowman

Shuang Tao didn’t think much about it.

After all, you are a guest in someone else's home, and you can't be as comfortable as in your own home.

After Yu Tang finished washing, Pei's wife also brought breakfast and asked Yu Tang to tell her: "Should we sweep the snow in the yard or not?"

The architecture of the Pei Family Courtyard is not a typical Jiangnan building, but like a northern one, connected by verandahs, so there is no need to clear snow and it does not delay everyone's movement.

"Do you usually sweep the snow in the yard or not?" Yu Tang asked the Pei family's mother-in-law instead.

The woman was in her forties and acted very quickly and cheerfully. She laughed and said, "When no one lives there, she must clear the snow."

"Then sweep it!" Yu Tang had no intention of being different.

Double Peach couldn't help but feel pity: "Such good snow!"

Yu Tang glanced at Shuangtao.

Shuang Tao immediately shut up and said nothing.

A trace of surprise flashed across the woman's face. She looked at Yu Tang and stepped back respectfully.

She and Shuangtao had breakfast, and were about to put on their cloaks and go to greet Lao An, when the Fourth Miss and the Fifth Miss ran in holding hands.

"Sister Yu! Sister Yu!" The two little girls shouted to Yu Tang with laughter. They looked up and saw a few servants sweeping snow in the yard. They suddenly looked frustrated and said, "Yu Tang." Sister, we are here to ask you to go and say hello to Lao An, and we are planning to come back from Lao An to build a snowman in your yard. Why did you ask someone to sweep the snow away?"

Yu Tang smiled hurriedly and was about to welcome the two little girls in.

The two little girls stood at the door unwilling to come in. The Fourth Miss smiled and urged: "We won't talk about these false etiquette. Sister, hurry up and clean up. Lao An is thinking that he should have breakfast."

Yu Tang was not polite to them. He put on his cloak and went out with them with Shuang Tao.

The fifth lady was still lamenting the snow in the yard.

Shuang Tao couldn't help but whisper to Miss Fifth's maid Ashan: "Is there no snow in your yard?"

Ashan glanced at Miss Fifth, who had been diverted by Yu Tang and stopped talking about snow, and whispered to Shuangtao: "Miss Fifth doesn't have enough time to play in the snow, but she really likes playing in the snow. Er My wife has warned me several times. Fortunately, the snow in your yard has also been swept away."

Shuangtao felt a chill in his heart.

Looking at the cheerful fourth lady, I endured it again and again, but finally I couldn't hold it in anymore. I asked Ashan in a low voice: "Where is the fourth lady..."

"The fourth young lady's housekeeper stopped her from letting the fifth young lady play in the snow at their place." Ashan said, looking at Bai Lan, the fourth young lady's personal maid, who was walking in front of them.

The originally warm Shuangtao couldn't help but shiver.

No wonder the young lady wouldn't let her get close to serve her. With her eyesight, she might get into trouble for the young lady at some point.

But when did the lady become so shrewd...

Shuang Tao followed Yu Tang and others to Lao Anren's main room in a daze.

The second young lady and the third young lady have already arrived. They are both wearing aqua blue plain chinchilla fur cloaks and standing under the eaves watching a few little maids building snowmen.

The fifth young lady and the fourth young lady cheered, leaving Yu Tang behind and ran over.

Aunt Ji, who was guarding the snowman, hurriedly shouted: "You two ladies, watch your steps carefully. Lao An has spoken. If you just watch, I will ask my mother-in-law to lead several ladies to play on the ice later." . If I had moved my hands and got them covered in snow, I would have to stay in the house practicing calligraphy every day for the past few days."

The fifth lady smiled like a sunflower, nodded her head repeatedly, and promised: "I'll just take a look!"

Then he pulled the fourth lady around and around the snowman that had not yet been built.

The second young lady and the third young lady both covered their mouths and smiled.

Aunt Ji and others looked relieved when they saw that Fifth Miss was being stopped.

Only Yu Tang sighed in his heart, Lao An really loves his younger generation!

Everyone stayed in the yard with Miss Fifth for a while, and then went into the house to greet Lao An.

After a while, Gu Xi, Mrs. Shen, and the second wife also came over.

Everyone decided to go to the yard to watch the little maids and women making snowmen.

Lao An and his second wife stood outside for a while, feeling a little cold, so they went back inside.

Mrs. Shen took the opportunity to say goodbye and returned to the courtyard where she lived.

Gu Xi stayed, however, and played in the snow with several ladies from the Pei family.

The yard was very lively with laughter and laughter.

Lao An, supported by his second wife, stood behind the half-open window lattice and watched for a while. Seeing that Gu Xi was very lively and led several girls from the Pei family to use carrots to make noses for the snowman and break branches to make arms, while Yu Tang was only there to take care of the fifth lady running around, or Smiling and whispering a few words to the third lady who was standing next to her silently, she raised her lips slightly and asked the second wife: "After Miss Yu returned to the house, did you ask about what happened to the Gu family?"

"No!" the second wife said with a smile, "This girl knows how to advance and retreat. She didn't ask any questions that she shouldn't have."

Lao An nodded and said slowly: "In this life, it is most difficult to know when to do what."

The second wife smiled very sincerely and echoed: "You are right."

Lao An's eyes fell on Yu Tang again and said, "This is what it's like to be a sister."

The second wife smiled and said "Yes", but hesitated for a while and asked quietly: "Mom, what happened to the Gu family?"

Lao An said "ha" and said rather disdainfully: "What can happen to the inner courtyard? It's just a few things that come and go."

The second wife was surprised, her eyes fell on Gu Xi, and said: "Then Miss Gu..."

"See through but don't tell!" Lao An said with a smile, "It's just an excuse. Since she wants to come to our house as a guest, we just have to treat her well. There is no reason for people to say that we are embarrassing a junior."

The second wife pursed her lips and smiled.

Lao An no longer paid attention to the situation in the yard. He turned around and walked towards the house with the help of his second wife, saying: "Where is the boss? Mrs. Shen didn't make any movement last night?"

The second wife looked embarrassed.

Lao An snorted displeasedly and said: "I think you are not as good as that Miss Yu! She says whatever she wants, but you are coy and don't even dare to say what you say. The imperial court also pays attention to the principle of "promoting talents without avoiding relatives". Am I not even able to distinguish between right and wrong?"

The second wife blushed and apologized repeatedly, saying: "Mrs. Shen asked her personal mother-in-law to bring some food to my sister-in-law last night. My sister-in-law took it and asked the small kitchen to make some snacks as a gift in return. Today I gave it to Mrs. Shen early in the morning."

Lao An sneered and said: "Let me just say, Mrs. Shen likes to be a demon the most. Why didn't she give a few words to a few little girls when she saw them having fun there today, but she hurried back to the house? This thing There must be a back-up plan. You have people watching Mrs. Shen and the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law thought that our family was causing trouble today and wanted to find an unrelated person to deliver the letter to her natal brother, so let her deliver it. . I want to see what her biological brothers can do for her. Also, people should be sent to keep an eye on the two young masters. Xia Guang is too busy with things outside, and these things at home, We can help if we can, so that he can have less to worry about." After that, she sighed deeply and said, "I don't know when I can find him a capable wife. The burden on your shoulders will be lifted."

The second wife glanced out the window, wondering if there was a ready-made Miss Gu in front of her? But she knew her mother-in-law better. She was not just a housewife who only knew how to host the reception. Even when the elder was still alive, she did not dare to speak loudly in front of her mother-in-law. She couldn't even guess her mother-in-law's thoughts. She could only do whatever her old man told her, not seeking merit but seeking no faults.

She comforted Lao An: "Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. The third uncle's marriage may come soon."

Lao An sighed helplessly, and then asked the second wife as if he remembered something: "What is Miss Yu's maiden name?"

"Yu Tang!" said the second wife: "The word 'Tang' covers Fu Gantang."

"It's a good name." After praising him, Mr. Lao An talked about the New Year's arrangements: "It's easy to talk to a few old relatives who often move around. Just follow the old practice of sending New Year's gifts in the past years. Things in the outer courtyard are at home. We don’t need to worry about the management. Even the Song family has started to interact with us again. They even sent heavy gifts on the Double Ninth Festival. I’m afraid if there is something else that requires you to come to our house, you have to remind me to ask. "Xia Guang, let's see how to give gifts to the two families. And the Yu family, since we have become a family friend, remember to invite Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu over for a drink during the spring banquet..."

There were no less than a dozen explanations scattered here and there, which made the second wife feel dizzy.

When she was a child, she read the Four Books and Five Classics with her father and brother, and she was not so tired even writing policy papers.

In the yard, Gu Xi helped several Miss Pei build five or six snowmen, big and small, and got a little tired. She and the Second Miss rested on the red painted railing next to them, while Yu Tang and the Third Miss, The fourth and fifth ladies continued to play in the snow.

Gu Xi asked the second lady: "When will guests come from the other courtyard?"

When the second lady heard this, her face turned so red that she could drip blood, and she said in a coquettish tone: "How do I know?"

Gu Xi smiled, her mood suddenly dropped, and said, "Don't be upset! I used to think the same as you. But look at me now..." As she said this, she looked up at the green and clear face. Tian Tian smiled bitterly, "Sometimes, being shy can't solve the problem. When you can make the decision, you'd better seize the opportunity as much as possible to avoid regrets in the future."

The second young lady was stunned~IndoMTL.com~ Looking at the fifth young lady who was fighting with her sisters, she lowered her voice and said: "I, I don't know. Who can refuse to listen to the family?"

Gu Xi laughed, suddenly feeling energetic again, and pointed to the main house where Lao An lived: "Isn't there someone who can make decisions for you?"

Children’s marriage matters mainly depend on their parents’ decision. What's more, Lao An is the great-aunt across the room?

The second lady has never thought about it.

Gu Xi sighed with emotion: "Look how much she loves you juniors. If you come to Lao An to ask for help, Lao An will definitely make the decision for you."

The second lady did not say anything. After a while, Gu Xi thought she wouldn't answer him, but she nodded gently.

Gu Xi laughed heartily and invited the second lady: "Shall we go play in the snow too? Look at how much fun Miss Yu and the others have!"

The second lady glanced at Gu Xi, looked much closer to her, smiled and said "Okay".
