Delicate Flower Chapter 179: Buddha Incense
Gu Xi couldn't help but smile slightly.
The smile is humble and gentle.
At this time, she will act more low-key and calm, making people think that she is trustworthy, calm, and a person who can do great things.
This is the right attitude.
Yu Tang is also laughing.
She knew that when she said this, everyone would think that she wanted to ask Gu Xi to take charge. In this way, her idea gave Gu Xi a reputation as a virtuous person, and she was a bit too honest. If the ladies of the Pei family were just muddling along and going with the flow, others might think she was stupid if she suffered a loss. But Miss Pei is an upright and pure person, and they will definitely not erase her achievements so easily.
Speaking of which, she discovered these things when she carefully observed Gu Xi's actions.
She learned it from Gu Xi.
Sure enough, Gu Xi couldn't hold back her surprise after hearing the news. She remained silent in a pretentious manner, waiting for others to push her forward. She could say a few more modest words so that she could take over the matter. . Several ladies from the Pei family opened their eyes in unison.
So when the eyes of several ladies from the Pei family fell on Gu Xi, and Gu Xi avoided Yu Tang's eyes for a moment, Yu Tang smiled even more happily in her heart, and said unhurriedly : "Why are you so embarrassed to trouble Miss Gu? When I was studying with my father, I saw a few ancient recipes for making Buddhist incense, but I had no interest in these before, so I didn't pay much attention. This time I suddenly remembered I wonder if we can study the Buddhist incense based on those ancient recipes and teach the nuns and laymen in the temple to make it. This will not only better improve the chewing ability of everyone in the temple, but also allow them to practice in their free time. I have something to do to kill time."
Before Yu Tang finished speaking, Gu Xi and the ladies of the Pei family were dumbfounded.
Miss Wu jumped up even more and said: "Sister Yu, is your recipe for making incense reliable? My grandfather said that many learned scholars can share their knowledge with everyone, but they never make private recipes. Show it to others at will. What if those ancient prescriptions were just written by the person who wrote the book at will?"
The fourth lady thought completely different, but she spoke as directly as the fifth lady, saying: "Sister Yu, have you ever made this kind of incense before? What if it doesn't work well? Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower and money?" It’s a waste of material and resources. After all, Sister Gu has made incense herself. She must have experience. I think we might as well entrust Sister Gu to help teach those nuns and lay people to make incense. Why bother?"
The third lady frowned.
She felt that if this was the case, Yu Tang would be a bit small-minded.
Yu Tang could see clearly, but before she could refute, the second lady had already jumped out and said sincerely: "Miss Yu, I think you and Sister Gu should take charge of this matter together - Sister Gu is responsible for teaching those nuns , lay people make Buddhist incense, Miss Yu is responsible for explaining to the two Lao'an people, and everyone discusses how to sell Buddhist incense. If the wine is good, the alley is too deep, so I hope that Ku'an Temple will sell Buddhist incense itself, which will make a living. If they don’t have their own, I’m afraid our family won’t be able to use so much Buddhist incense.”
Yu Tang smiled.
She really likes the ladies in Pei Mansion.
Even if the second young lady prefers Gu Xi, she will still be reasonable.
It's a pity that she was targeting Gu Xi, so she wouldn't let Gu Xi run away.
"It's not that I don't want Miss Gu to help!" Yu Tang deliberately looked embarrassed, "Do you know why I think it's not good to let Miss Gu teach the people in Ku'an Temple how to make incense?"
The ladies of the Pei family shook their heads, and Gu Xi also listened attentively, as if he wanted to catch her.
Yu Tang said: "The incense made by Miss Gu does smell good. I have also received gifts from Miss Gu, and I know that Miss Gu is good at making incense. However, after all, the incense made by Miss Gu is a drama in the boudoir. It is not good to be outside. If we teach nuns and lay people in the temple to make large quantities of it... I always feel a little uneasy. Why don't we find a new incense recipe. Or Miss Gu can provide another suitable incense recipe. But here we have to keep it a secret and no one is allowed to tell it."
If you do nameless good deeds, what kind of good deeds are you doing? !
Gu Xi instinctively wanted to object, but fortunately when the words came to her lips, she suddenly woke up and did not speak out.
After hearing Yu Tang’s concerns, the ladies of the Pei family all nodded. Even the second lady, who didn’t like Yu Tang very much, also said a little embarrassedly: “Sister Yu is still calmer than us. This kind of thing really cannot let Sister Gu take on the reputation."
Gu Xi was extremely angry, but she couldn't say anything to refute Yu Tang. Her eyes became sharp when she looked at Yu Tang, and she was thinking in her heart, if Yu Tang really let her contribute without being famous, No matter what, she had to find an excuse to push the matter aside and let Yutang and the Pei family work on their own, letting them know that doing good deeds was not that easy.
Seeing Gu Xi's angry look, Yu Tang was secretly happy. She pursed her lips and smiled, and then said loudly and generously: "Thank you very much, Miss Second, for the compliment. However, I am too young after all. For such a big thing, I still have to deal with it." We need to discuss it with the elders. I think we should talk to the second wife first and see if the second wife thinks it is feasible?"
Although several ladies from the Pei family were stunned for a moment after hearing this, they then burst into cheers and expressed their opinions that this should be done.
Having good intentions is a good thing, but good intentions may not necessarily lead to good things.
Several ladies from the Yu family began to discuss lively whether this matter was feasible or not.
One asked Yutang whether the ancient incense recipe was reliable, the other asked if the materials for making incense were good, and the other asked who should be sent by the government to take care of Ku'an Temple... I still don't know whether it is feasible or not. After a while, several people had already begun to think that the Buddhist incense in Ku'an Temple had become popular in Lin'an City and made everyone in Hangzhou famous.
Gu Xi sat there with a smile on her face, not participating in the discussion and just watching from the sidelines.
Yu Tang was overjoyed.
Even if she read about the fragrant recipe in the book while studying, she would not be able to pay attention to it.
She has never liked these since she was a child.
The incense recipe she was going to write to the Pei family members later was donated by Gu Xi five years later to raise funds for Zhaoming Temple.
The incense in Zhaoming Temple is so good. The one thousand taels raised by Gu Xi that time was just the icing on the cake. She must have given it to Ku'an Temple who needed it more, and the Buddha would not blame her.
She quietly recited "Amitabha" several times in her heart.
Aunt Chen walked in and stopped them with a smile: "Please keep your voice down, I heard it as soon as I came out of the hall. I have been ordered by the two Lao An people to bring Mr. Yang over now."
The second lady’s face turned red.
The third young lady, the fourth young lady, and the fifth young lady all said "huh" to the second young lady.
The second young lady was so embarrassed that she almost crawled into the ground. Only then did the three ladies from the Pei Mansion let the second young lady go.
Gu Xi looked at it and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Yu Tang found it interesting, so he took a seat by the window lattice and propped himself up, trying to see clearly what Yang Yan looked like.
The Fifth Miss and the Fourth Miss, being the youngest, smiled and lay on her back, unable to get up, and competed with Yu Tang for the position by the window lattice.
Yu Tang had no choice but to say: "Then each of us can only watch the kung fu of two breaths, and the rest of the time belongs to the second lady. What do you think?"
The second lady was embarrassed and annoyed, and said, "I don't want to know what he looks like!"
"Yes!" Yu Tang teased her, "Second Miss can go into the hall to serve tea later, we can only watch here."
The three Miss Pei smiled at the second Miss again.
The second young lady’s face was so red that she could bleed. The fourth young lady hurriedly said: “Stop talking, Mr. Yang is coming in.”
Yu Tang no longer bothered to talk to Miss Pei, and stood on tiptoe to look out the window.
I saw Aunt Chen walking in with a young man wearing a sapphire blue five-bat group flower hanging silk trousers.
He is tall, has an upright appearance, and an elegant temperament. He looks like he is in his early twenties, and his movements are calm.
Yu Tang thinks this person should be good.
But in her two lifetimes, she has never seen a more handsome man than Pei Yan.
She backed away after taking a look twice, and said to the third lady who wanted to see but couldn't squeeze in: "You should also take a look. Otherwise Mr. Yang will enter the hall."
The third lady smiled silently and squeezed together with the fourth and fifth girls.
Yu Tang smiled and frowned. When he raised his head, he met Gu Xi's cold eyes.
She didn't shy away.
She has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of Gu Xi's scrutiny.
Gu Xi was surprised.
She thought of when Yu Tang first came to Pei Mansion... When did Yu Tang become so bold? Is it still because of Pei Yan?
Gu Xi sneered.
Yu Tang looked at her calmly, with a calm expression. It wasn't until Miss Fourth's long sigh echoed in the tea room that her attention was diverted.
"What's wrong?" The second lady didn't see anyone, and she was worried when she heard some disturbance.
The fourth lady sighed again and said: "The second sister is getting married soon..."
The meaningless sentence indirectly praised Yang Yan.
Second Miss Concern is Chaos~IndoMTL.com~ Before she could react, Yu Tang and the others had already understood, and they were all laughing. When the second young lady finally understood, Aunt Chen came in and invited the second young lady to serve tea. The second young lady hurriedly followed Aunt Chen and ran away, causing Yu Tang and others to laugh again.
Yu Tang was still thinking about her aunt's cousin. Seeing that it was time to leave here, she went back to her room first: "I'm going to write down the fragrant recipe. I'll have something when I go to see the second wife later." It’s easy to communicate with each other, and it also prevents the elders from thinking that we are acting on a whim.”
The third lady agreed very much and said for the first time: "Sister Yu, I will accompany you back to the room."
The fourth and fifth ladies also clamored to go.
Gu Xi couldn't see how everyone was milling around Yu Tang, and was a little bit avoiding the matter, thinking, aren't you, Yu Tang, awesome? Then I won’t say a word and let’s see what kind of Buddhist incense you can make. Anyway, it has nothing to do with her if things go well, and it won't be her fault if things go wrong.
She said: "I didn't have a good rest at noon, so I won't go there. Call me again when you go to see the second wife."
Gu Xi wanted to know the attitude of the Pei family elders.
