Delicate Flower Chapter 164: Surprise

The person who came to deliver a letter to Yu Tang was A Tiao.

Seeing Yu Tang, he hurried forward to greet her, bowed his hands and said, "Miss, it was the young master's family who asked me to come. He said that he has received your letter and will do as you wish. Return it. He said, everything is fine at home, so don't worry, the business has been concluded. Let's celebrate again when you go back." After that, he took out a letter from his pocket.

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, opened the letter and started reading it immediately.

In addition to what A Tiao said, Yu Yuan also praised Zhang Gongzi's ten paintings in the letter, saying that the merchant was very satisfied and even offered to buy the paintings for ten taels of silver each. Yu Yuan wrote to her with two meanings. The first is to make this business happen - the merchant's family is engaged in embroidery business. The reason for coming to their home to buy boxes and cages is to make the home shop more complete and make the embroidery business better. Therefore, the business between the two companies is not only There is no conflict and they can promote each other. The second is to discuss with her, if she sells the painting to that merchant, should she give money to the Zhang family? How much money should I give Mr. Zhang?

Because the merchant will leave Lin'an to return to his hometown in the next few days, the ready-made boxes and cages will be delivered by their family. This matter must be decided before the merchant leaves Lin'an. He has just received the gift from Yu As soon as Tang received the letter, A Tiao was sent to send it back.

Yu Tang kept thinking for a long time and replied to Yu Yuan.

It is okay to sell paintings, and the money from selling paintings can be divided half and half with the Zhang family, but you have to write a contract with the merchant. These ten paintings are unique to their Yu family. If the merchant takes them, they can only use them. It is used in the family's shop and cannot be resold. If it must be resold, the Yu family must be notified in a written document and the Yu family must agree, and the money needs to be paid again.

Because it was getting late, it would take at least an hour and a half to return to Lin'an City. After receiving the letter, A Tiao immediately stood up and said goodbye, returning to Yu's house.

Pei Yan knew that in addition to Yu Tang staying in the other courtyard, Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi were also staying in the other courtyard. There were outsiders there, so he couldn't go directly to greet Lao An, so he went back to his own apartment first. After washing up and changing clothes in the courtyard, he sent someone to ask Lao An when it would be convenient for him to see him.

But before the people sent out responded, he heard that someone from the Yu family came to deliver a letter to Yu Tang.

He couldn't help but feel surprised.

As soon as Yu Tang’s letter was sent back, her family immediately replied to her. She couldn’t wait even a day. Could it be that something happened at home?

Pei Yan thought about Mrs. Yu's illness, and then thought about the thirty acres of fertile land bought by the Yu family from the Li Duan family...

He called Hu Xing, who was serving Lao An here, to come in: "What happened to Miss Yu?"

Hu Xing has been helping Lao An wholeheartedly in other courtyards these days. He knows which dishes the ladies and distinguished guests eat more and less every day. He has never heard of Miss Yu. What happened on the side!

He was stunned for a moment.

Pei Yan was originally dissatisfied with his ability to do things, but later because he saw that he was fawning over Lao An, and Lao An also needed someone who could be used easily, he turned a blind eye. , let him continue in the position of general manager. Seeing him like this now, Pei Yan was even more dissatisfied, and his dissatisfaction even showed directly on his face.

He snapped: "What? Don't you know?"

The third master just a few days ago beat to death all the men over the age of five from a family of servants who had served the eldest master's family for many years, and sold all the women and children. Everyone in the house was trembling, and they were all talking privately about the fact that the third master was neither as kind as the old master, nor as tolerant as the Lao An people, and not at all like the Pei family. Some people envied Hu Xing for being a blessing in disguise, and went to the Lao An people early. Serve there.

Hu Xing couldn't help but secretly rejoiced after hearing this, but he was also horrified. When Pei Yan asked this question, he shuddered, his legs became weak, and he almost knelt down. It took him a long time to make a sound, and stammered: "Miss Yu and the other ladies all had a good time. Get up early and go to bed early." , and occasionally walk along Mingshan Lake, and just now I went to Meilin with a few ladies to enjoy plum blossoms..." He was about to cry, "Really, I really didn't find anything wrong with her!" Then! , his intuition couldn't help but made him boldly say, "Besides, Miss Yu is a young lady in the boudoir. Even if I want to know something, Miss Yu won't talk to me!"

Pei Yan looked slightly stunned.

Hu Xing wiped his cold sweat secretly, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped death.

But then, he began to reflect on how he could say that he could not get close to Miss Yu, and why Pei Banquet's expression turned slightly because of his words...

For a moment, he felt as if he knew something extraordinary.

The way Hu Xing looked at Pei Yan was different.

Pei Yan didn't notice Hu Xing, so he naturally didn't pay attention to the subtle changes in his expression.

He thought for a while and said, "Miss Yu and the others are still admiring the plum blossoms in the plum forest?"

Hu Xing said hurriedly: "Yes, I even wrote a poem."

Finally I can answer a few sentences, which is of some use!

Pei Yan glanced at Hu Xing expressionlessly and said, "You quietly bring a message to Miss Yu and ask her to wait for me next to the plum forest for a while. I have something to ask her."

See no evil, right?

Why should he be asked to carry the letter?

Hu Xing felt very bitter in his heart, but he did not dare to show it at all. Not only did he bow his head respectfully, but he also pretended to be overjoyed and said loudly: "I'll go right away!"

Pei Yan snorted coldly.

Yu Tang didn't think much after receiving the letter. After whispering to Lao An for a few times, he found an excuse and left Nuanting.

Miss Wu had just finished a six-character quatrain, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but said: "What are you going to do, Sister Yu?"

A few people wrote poems together, Gu Xi was the first to finish it, the third lady came second, the third was Yu Tang, the second lady and the fifth lady followed closely behind, and the fourth lady was still writing poems with her head down. .

Everyone is ready to write it down and give it to Lao Anren, Mrs. Shen, and the second wife for comment.

Lao An didn’t think much about it.

Now that Yu Tang knows about the strange land sale of the Li family, Pei Yan must also know about it.

She guessed that Pei Yan should ask Yu Tang about this matter.

It's just that it's not easy for these little girls to know about this matter, so the old man just ignored it and said with a smile: "Who hasn't done anything yet? You kid, when you should pretend to be confused, you have to pretend not to know. , when it’s time to ask, just say it, you still have to practice before you can go out.” After saying that, he glanced at the second wife.

The second wife laughed and responded: "Don't worry, I will teach her well."

Lao An said "hmm" and the matter was revealed.

Gu Xi's heart turned over and over again.

It was obvious that the boy from the Yu family came to see Yu Tang for something. When Yu Tang came back, he only said that it was a family member who came to ask her about things in the shop. He even blocked out what Lao An wanted to know, and now he is so arrogant. She walked away from the poetry meeting. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that things were not simple.

He Xiang's thoughts were more complicated than Gu Xi's.

She found an opportunity to whisper into Gu Xi's ear: "Miss, the third master has gone up the mountain."

Yu Xi raised his eyebrows.

He Xiang knew that she wanted to hear more details, so she quickly said: "I just went to inquire about Miss Yu and found out that the third master has not come to say hello to Lao An. I heard that he will have dinner here. Come here later."

Then what is Yutang doing?

Gu Xi felt vaguely uneasy.

The second lady has not found out how Yu Tang suddenly appeared.

She gave He Xiang a wink.

He Xiang understood and quietly left Nuanting.

After a while, the fourth lady also finished her poem.

The second lady teased the fourth lady: "We are all waiting for you!"

The fourth lady pouted dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I say we were going to barbecue? It's you who want to make poems, and I'm not prepared at all."

"How are you going to prepare?" The third lady rarely joked with the fourth lady, "Read Bai and Li thoroughly before coming here?"

Bai refers to Bai Juyi, and Li refers to Li Bai.

The fourth lady retorted guiltily: "Isn't it possible?"

Everyone laughed.

Lao An Ren said: "Then let's read Si Yatou's poem first."

The fourth lady coyly asked the little maid beside her to hand over the poem.

Gu Xi said, "Aren't we waiting for Miss Yu?"

Lao An smiled and said: "It's getting late. Aren't you going to have barbecue later? I won't wait for her."

Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then stepped forward to watch the poem written by the fourth lady, but half of her mind was paying attention to when He Xiang would come back.

With just a stick of incense, the lotus fragrance quietly appeared in Nuanting.

This time there was no need for He Xiang to look for opportunities. Gu Xi directly said that she was going to the official residence and took He Xiang to stand in the deserted plum forest.

He Xiang's face was a little solemn.

She said: "Miss, what happened to Miss Yu? She went to see the third master!"

Gu Xi was stunned, but felt inexplicably relieved that the dust had settled.

She said in a deep voice: "What is going on?"

"I don't know what happened specifically." He Xiang whispered, "I came out of Nuanting and slowly looked in the direction Miss Yu went, and found that the road was It leads to the pavilion next to Mingshan Lake. In the pavilion, besides Miss Yu, there is also a young man wearing a white cloak. I wanted to get closer and take a look, but I found seven or eight guards standing in the dark around the pavilion. I was scared. I jumped up and said that I was your personal maid. You asked me to go back to the house to get something, but I got lost, so I got away. After that, I met Manager Hu again, and after some probing, I found out that the young man was Pei The third master of the family."

Gu Xi was silent for a long time and said, "What does the third master look like?"

Hexiang's face turned red and she whispered: "He is very handsome and has an elegant temperament... Among the people I have met, only the eldest son can compete with him."

Gu Chang is a famous handsome man in Hangzhou.

Gu Xi's face was also a little hot.

But thinking of Yu Tang, she couldn't help but frown.

What is Pei Yan going to do?

He met Miss Yu in private~IndoMTL.com~Didn’t Lao An know? Or do you know but give the two of them a bad look?

In what capacity did Miss Yu appear in front of Pei Yan?

After all, she and her brother were careless and did not expect that there would be a woman like Miss Yu in Lin'an City.

Is she going with Miss Yu? Or should we find a way to make Miss Yu disappear from Pei Mansion?

Gu Xi was a little undecided for a moment.

She said to He Xiang: "Can you think of a way to find out the relationship between Miss Yu and Mr. Pei San? Especially if Lao An knows..."

If Lao An knew about it, what was the Pei family’s plan?

This is what she should pay attention to and care about.

Gu Xi let out a long breath.
