Delicate Flower Chapter 167: Displeased

When Gu Xi first heard this, she didn't realize who was talking to Lao An. When she heard a clean and pleasant voice, she was surprised to realize that it was Yu Tang who was talking to Lao An.

Although she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but listen.

"Lao An, please don't say that, you are trying to offend me." Yu Tang said sheepishly, "No reward for no merit. I was just being weird for a moment, but I didn't expect to cause trouble for the third master. I, I'm so ashamed."

She meant what she said.

Maybe it was because she sent Shuangtao to ask about A Ming's cloak. A Ming reported it to Pei Yan, and Pei Yan simply told Lao An about it and asked Lao An to explain it to him.

This led to the previous conversation.

Pei Yan is magnanimous, but she seems to have a long-term relationship with her.

She was a little embarrassed to see Pei Yan again.

Lao An also felt that Yu Tang was making a fuss out of a molehill. However, Yu Tang, a young girl, should be cautious when living in someone else's home.

She said: "It's good that you don't take it to heart. I've already taught him a lesson. Just ask him to tell me if he has anything to do in the future. I have nothing to do now. If he asks me to help him with something, I'll be just fine. It’s a great way to kill time!”

Lao An used to be the wife of a clan. She would come to her for family matters ranging from weddings and funerals to minor quarrels between sisters-in-law. She was so busy every day that her three sons were nursed by wet nurses. She was brought up, and now that she is suddenly free, she is really not used to it.

Only Pei Yan knew that she was lonely and let the little girls at home often come to play with her.

It's a pity that the girls are too young to talk with them, so they invite Yu Tang into the house.

Yu Tang didn’t know the reasons and just thought that Lao An was comforting her. She was even more stunned in her heart. She was thinking about how to say a few words of apology, but Aunt Ji’s voice suddenly came from outside: "Miss Gu, you Coming over!"

Gu Xi was listening attentively when he was suddenly questioned. He was panicked, and his face was a little at a loss. He said hurriedly: "I just arrived. For some reason, I didn't see any servants along the way. I was wondering what was going on, and the aunt came in." As she spoke, her heart gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She asked, "When did the aunt come here? I also I thought there was no one in the yard!"

Pei Yan just left.

Before this, Lao An sent away all the people serving around him.

Aunt Ji just thought that Gu Xi's arrival was a coincidence and didn't think much about it. She smiled and said, "I also saw Miss Gu here from a distance." Then she said, "You are here to say hello to Mr. Lao An, right? ? Just wait a moment, I’ll report it to you right now.”

Lao An had already heard the conversation outside, and without being pretentious, he said loudly: "Is this Miss Gu?! Please come in and sit down."

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How dare I ask you to please me? Just call me." He walked in with a smile.

Yu Tang stood up and met her, and the two sat down next to Lao An, one on the left and the other on the right.

Gu Xi said to Yu Tang coquettishly: "Why didn't you call me when you came over? I was waiting for you in the room for a long time."

Yu Tang has rich experience in dealing with Gu Xi. She smiled and said: "Then I will remember to ask you to come with me next time."

I won’t say much about this.

It was like a punch on cotton, Gu Xi couldn't help feeling awe-struck, and began to look at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang was so familiar with her expressions and little movements that he couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw it.

She and Gu Xi really have no fate!

She was a sister-in-law in her previous life, and Li Duan had a bad mind, so there was nothing we could do about it. They were so far apart in this life, and she tried her best to avoid Gu Xi. Why was she still being targeted by Gu Xi?

Yu Tang felt a little unhappy.

In her previous life, Gu Xi was trying to keep her husband's heart. She could understand that. In this life, she and Gu Xi had no hatred of stealing their husbands or killing their fathers. Can Gu Xi deserve this?

Yu Tang sneered in his heart, unwilling to tolerate and avoid anymore.

She lowered her head and drank tea, thinking that if Gu Xi dared to mess with her, she wouldn't mind giving Gu Xi a lesson.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for several young ladies and the second wife of the Pei family to come over to say hello. For a while, the hall was full of laughter and lively, and the small thoughts of Yu Tang and Gu Xi disappeared.

But when Yu Tang returned to the house, Shuang Tao couldn't help asking her in a low voice: "Are we really going to meet Lao An with Miss Gu later?"

The fourth lady is still determined to have a barbecue today. Lao An agreed, and everyone made an appointment to have a barbecue under the century-old locust tree in the back garden in the afternoon. So everyone had lunch at Lao An's place and then went back to the room for a lunch break.

Yu Tang smiled casually and said, "It's just that, do you still take it seriously?"

Two peaches were stunned.

Yu Tang smiled and pulled the quilt to his chest, closed his eyes and said, "Sleep!"

Shuangtao had no choice but to retreat calmly.

Yu Tang was thinking about the second lady.

Gu Xi is obviously trying to win over the second young lady. I wonder if there is anything in the second young lady that is worthy of Gu Xi’s plot?

She has been hanging around the second lady this morning.

As for Pei Yan, she actually misunderstood him... Yu Tang's face was burning.

What a shame!

Are you just pretending that nothing happened and just let it go? Or go and apologize to Pei Yan?

Yu Tang was thinking blankly, not knowing when he fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that the sun had already set to the west.

How could this happen? !

Yu Tang was shocked and shouted "Double Peach" repeatedly.

Shuang Tao trotted in and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Tang frowned and said, "What time is it now?"

Shuangtao grinned and said: "Miss, you don't know something. When you were sleeping, Aunt Ji from Lao An's house came over specially and said that Lao An had something to do in the afternoon, so she asked the ladies to come. There's no need to go over and say hello. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up. I thought I'd wait until some ladies from the Pei Mansion went to have a barbecue. I never thought that the ladies from the Pei Mansion didn't come over this afternoon. I I was afraid that some ladies forgot to call you, so I invited Liuxu to go over and ask. As a result, the ladies were detained by the second wife at home in the afternoon to practice calligraphy and did not go to barbecue at all."

Yu Tang said in surprise: "How could this happen?"

Shuangtao looked around and saw that there was no one else around, then he stepped forward and leaned into Yu Tang's ear and said, "I heard that someone is coming from Beijing. I went to the old house first. The third master was not there, so I The second master accompanied him up the mountain. For fear of bumping into the distinguished guests, all the female relatives in the inner courtyard were detained and not allowed to go out."

Yu Tang was terrified.

What kind of person would come to the door that would make the female family members of the Pei family avoid it?

She thought for a while and asked Shuangtao: "What is Miss Gu doing this afternoon?"

Gu Xi has always been better informed than she is. It is the easiest way she can think of to deduce from her whereabouts whether the person coming from Beijing is a good thing or a bad thing.

Shuangtao said: "I'm embroidering in the house with the second lady!"

"Have you always been doing embroidery?" Yu Tang was a little surprised.

Shuangtao nodded and said: "Hexiang used to walk around, but he didn't go out this afternoon."

In other words, the guest status is really distinguished. At least it can scare Gu Xi.

Who has such majesty?

Yu Tang guessed for a long time but had no clue, so he simply put the matter down and thought of finding an opportunity to ask Lao An directly.

Everyone also had dinner at their respective residences.

Early the next morning, the news came out.

The visitor is Zhang Shao, the eldest son of Zhang Ying, the seat of Pei Yanshi.

I was appointed governor of Jiangxi a few days ago. This time I made a special stop on my way to Jiangxi to visit Pei Yan.

But it shouldn’t be such that all the female relatives in the family will avoid it, right?

Yu Tang felt that Zhang Shao’s purpose was not simple.

She asked Aunt Ji, who came to give her a hairpin: "Are you afraid that we might bump into Mr. Zhang?"

"No!" Aunt Ji said with a smile, "The Zhang family and our family are close friends. Mr. Zhang came over and talked to Lao An for a long time. The dinner was also left in Lao An's house. So it’s not easy to invite a few ladies over.”

Really? !

The relationship between the Zhang family and the Pei family is really very good.

Just a teacher-student friendship cannot explain this kind of intimacy!

Yu Tang suppressed her doubts in her heart, picked out a yellow camellia in bud, and said with a smile: "Is there a greenhouse in the other courtyard?"

Aunt Ji smiled and said: "There is a greenhouse, right next to the plum grove. If you want to go, please tell me in advance. The eldest lady's orchids are kept there, and the eldest lady often goes to the greenhouse to plant flowers and plants."

Yu Tang agreed with a smile, gave Aunt Ji a red envelope, and personally sent Aunt Ji out.

Shuangtao said in confusion: "Why should we reward Aunt Ji? Aunt Ji usually takes good care of us."

In addition to learning the rules from Liuxu during this period, she was also observing Aunt Ji and Aunt Chen's behavior.

Yu Tang thinks this is a good thing and encourages her. If she has any questions in her mind, she will ask them directly.

She taught her softly: "Did you hear anything from Aunt Ji's mouth?"

Shuangtao thought for a while and shook his head.

Yu Tang said: "She is telling me not to go to the greenhouse casually."

Shuangtao said "ah".

They have lived in the other courtyard for several days, and except for that day, they have never seen the eldest lady again.

It can be seen that the relationship between the eldest wife and Lao An is not very good as rumored outside. Since she entered the house because of Lao An, it was best not to deal with the eldest lady.

Shuangtao woke up.

Yu Tang can get the news, and Gu Xi can get the news too. Unlike Yu Tang who was calm and composed, Gu Xi was agitated and hesitant.

The Pei family and the Zhang family are close friends.

No wonder her brother wanted to marry her to Pei Yan. ~IndoMTL.com~ Needless to say, Zhang Shao’s father, Zhang Ying, was his great-uncle who was the emperor’s master. His grandfather once served as a bachelor of Wuying Palace, the chief minister of the cabinet, and was a famous official in history. There is also a younger brother who is now serving as Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and a cousin who is serving as the director of the Ministry of Personnel. It can be said that the Zhang family is one of the most prominent official families in this dynasty.

This made her excited.

But she has been here for such a long time, and Lao An seems easy to talk to, but nothing she wants to do has been accomplished.

The most appropriate way is not to participate in the internal fighting of the Pei family.

It's just that she doesn't have much time.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon.

She can't really stay at Pei's house for the New Year, right?

The eldest wife often goes to the greenhouse, and the eldest wife is at odds with Lao An. Should she take advantage of this?

Gu Xi paced back and forth in the room.
