Delicate Flower Chapter 181: Plain
Pei Laoan blinked, thinking he had seen it wrong, and stared at Yu Tang a few more times.
Yu Tang could only shake his head heavily, indicating that he really had no intention of being in the limelight.
Pei Laoan raised his eyebrows.
As a woman, as long as you have a good reputation, you can do many things. You can even transcend your family background and marry into a wealthy family.
Yu Tang doesn’t understand? Or is it true that Yun Danfeng is indifferent and prefers a stable life?
This is not the time to talk, not to mention if Yu Tang changes his mind, there is still time and opportunity to make amends. Pei Lao'an did not force himself and talked to the abbot of Ku'an Temple about making and selling Buddhist incense: "...the children think simply. They always think that since you have made Buddhist incense, you will naturally use the temple. It is sold in name. But in fact, there are not a few people who worship Buddha at home. If the Buddhist incense smells good, it can also be sold in major incense and candle shops. This may be more beneficial to you. After all, the reputation of Ku'an Temple is not big enough. You are a nunnery, and it is not good to have too many people coming and going. I called you here because I want to see how I can help you. Did we bring the materials and you just help make the incense? Or should we also bring the incense recipes? Give it to you, and then lend you a sum of money, and you can make incense and sell it yourself."
Ku'an Temple probably did too many businesses that failed to make any money. The master in charge said without thinking: "Of course it is best for your government to provide the materials and we help make the Buddhist incense. For business, etc., We don’t understand at all. Besides, you are right. After all, we are a nunnery and cannot compare to a temple like Zhaoming Temple. People come and go. If anything happens, our reputation in the past twenty years will be completely destroyed. ."
Pei Laoan obviously also hopes for such cooperation. She nodded slightly and said: "Then we have settled on this for the time being. What should I do specifically? When I return to the other hospital, I will ask the housekeeper at home. We’ll discuss the specific regulations later.”
The abbot of Ku'an Temple naturally responded.
Yu Tang sighed in her heart, Pei Laoan was worthy of being the concubine who had presided over Pei's house. She suddenly thought of such an idea, which was much better than what she had thought before.
Everyone had just given an overview of the matter, and a steward over there had already come over to ask when they could leave to go back to the other hospital. Of course, the master in charge of Ku'an Temple did not dare to delay the schedule of the female family members of the Pei Mansion. He quickly got up and made an appointment with the two Lao An people: "I will go to the other courtyard to greet the two Lao An people in two days."
Ren Yi Laoan followed Pei Laoan's lead. Pei Laoan thought for a moment and said, "I think we should discuss this matter after the new year! I was too busy before the new year."
Yu Tang wondered whether he would help the second young lady get engaged years ago.
She looked towards the second young lady, who was indeed hiding behind Yi Laoan and saying nothing.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that he would have to prepare some gifts in advance to give to the second young lady.
Lacquerware is best.
It has to be lacquerware made at home.
She recalled the paintings Mr. Zhang sent.
I don’t know if there is anything suitable for making a small box. It would be best to give the second lady some jewelry or documents.
When Pei Laoan spoke, the servants of the Pei family immediately started to move. Within a quarter of an hour, everyone packed up their things and returned to the Pei Mansion halfway up the mountain in a mule cart. Other courtyard.
After a long day of driving and horseback riding, the two Lao An rested as soon as they returned to the other courtyard. Even for dinner, they only had a little porridge. The juniors were in good spirits and had dinner with the second wife. They all sat together and talked for a long time before leaving.
Gu Xi has always been silent.
After returning to her residence, after washing up, and with no one else around, He Xiang brought a glass of warm water to Gu Xi, who was sitting in front of the mirror, and whispered: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Xi remained silent for a while.
She can't see through Yu Tang now.
He helped Ku'an Temple do good deeds. For such a big contribution, Yu Tang actually didn't fight for it and even took the initiative to shirk it. As for Pei Lao'an, he took advantage of the situation and took the credit. Had she been wrong all along? Pei Lao'an is a person who doesn't like the female relatives in the family to be in the limelight? And Yu Tang saw Pei Lao'an's thoughts and prescribed the right medicine to establish a foothold in Pei Mansion?
No matter what, she was already disgusted by Pei Yan, and the Pei family and the Gu family were no longer destined to marry.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi felt as if a big stone was pressing on her chest and she couldn't breathe.
Pei Yan! Pei Xiaguang!
Just wait for me...
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.
One day, you will fall into my hands.
When the time comes, see how I deal with you!
Never before, Gu Xi was full of desire for power and wealth like this moment.
Her right hand clenched tightly into a fist and hit the table with a bang.
He Xiang was startled and called out "Miss" urgently.
"I'm fine!" Gu Xi said coldly, the anger in his chest slowly calmed down with the blow.
She told He Xiang: "Get ready, we will return home in two or three days."
He Xiang heard this and said anxiously: "But we haven't waited for the eldest son's reply yet!"
Do you want to send someone to guard the Pei family?
Gu Xi's hands clenched tighter.
She had never thought that Pei Yan would be so decisive in his words and actions, and showed no mercy at all, so she wrote a letter to Gu Chang. Now it seems that even if her brother receives the letter, it won't change anything, and it will completely expose the Gu family's intentions.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi's heart moved.
Everything has its good and its bad.
Perhaps, her brother's explicit intention to marry the Pei family in the letter will make Pei Yan re-examine the matter?
She went to find Pei Yan personally. After all, she was not compatible with Li. Pei Yan rejected her, but it was the behavior of a gentleman.
Gu Xi thought of Pei Yan's flawless face no matter how she looked at it. Her heart suddenly softened into a ball of water. She selectively left Yu Tang behind and turned Pei Yan's love for her The sarcastic words were thrown behind his mind. She even thought, if she really married Pei Yan, would Pei Yan still speak coldly to her like this? Maybe she could tell this matter as a joke and let Pei Yan know how much she admires him in her heart, so that she can keep her husband firmly in her hands...
"Then let's wait until we receive brother's letter before leaving." She made up her mind and said, "However, our things must be sorted out slowly. If there are no surprises, brother's letter should also be Almost there."
He Xiang answered, and went back to ask the maid. Gu Xi quickly turned on the lamp and fell asleep. However, early the next morning, he learned from the maid sent by the Pei Mansion next to him that the two Lao An people had gone to bed early in the morning. He called Yu Tang to the main courtyard to talk.
Gu Xi frowned and said half teasingly and half sarcastically to Liu Ye, the maid of the Pei Mansion who was serving her: "You are well-informed, and you will know all about the slightest trouble over there at Lao An."
However, Liu Ye was an honest person and did not hear the slightest hint of Gu Xi's words, and replied naively: "We are all from Lao An's house. If Lao An doesn't want us to know, Aunt Chen and Aunt Ji must have some way to keep us from knowing, but what we can know must be something we can tell! Besides, I heard Sister Liuxu who was on duty in Miss Yu’s room say that Miss Yu is a very nice person, so I guess she won’t either. Take these little things to heart."
Is this a small thing?
I wonder if it’s because Lao An is getting older and doesn’t want to take care of things anymore? Or is the second wife incapable of taking care of these things?
In the Gu family, such nonsense is unthinkable.
Gu Xi suddenly thought of the eldest wife.
She has talked to the eldest wife several times. Should she continue this relationship? Or maybe saying goodbye to the eldest lady before leaving can be regarded as acquaintance?
Gu Xi was a little undecided, so she put the matter behind her for the time being. After getting dressed, she went to Pei Lao'an's place.
Pei Laoan was talking to Yu Tang: "...the matter of Ku'an Temple will be of great benefit to your reputation. I don't know what you, a little girl, think, but you push it away like this. But , you are young after all, and the affairs of Kuan Temple cannot be handled smoothly in a day or two. I think you should discuss it with your mother after you go back, and then get back to me."
Yu Tang smiled and thanked Pei Lao'an, but still firmly refused to take the credit for Ku'an Temple: "The trees are as beautiful as the forest, and the wind will destroy them. We are a small family, The most important thing is to live a stable life. Don't give up what you deserve, and don't dream about what you can't bear. This is the duty of a human being. Besides, although the idea of making incense is good, if it weren't for the fact that I have the Pei Mansion behind me, I I don’t dare to think so. You’re going to offend me by saying this.”
When Pei Lao'an listened, he couldn't help exchanging glances with Yi Lao'an, and then showed great interest. He leaned forward slightly, raised his long eyebrows and said "Oh", and said: "You This is quite new, and it’s the first time I’ve heard it. So tell me, what do you deserve? What can’t you dream about?”
Of course, Yu Tang can't say that he has lived in two generations. He feels that no matter how great the fame and wealth are, it is not as good as a family living together peacefully. It cannot be said that the Pei family is powerful. If they support Ku'an Temple to sell Buddhist incense, no one would dare to embarrass them, and it would be a hundred times more convenient than others. Fortunately, she had a quick mind and quickly thought up the words: "If there was no Pei Mansion, I just wanted to help the masters of Ku'an Temple. I would just help deliver a few old cotton-padded jackets in winter and a few in summer." Xi old mat ~IndoMTL.com~ Although it is a good deed, it can only cure the symptoms and not the root cause. But with the support of the two Lao An people, I dared to come up with the idea to let Kuan Temple make incense. Even if the cost is a bit expensive at the beginning , but if this thing is done, it will be something that can benefit the entire Ku'an Temple and even the women who come to Ku'an Temple in the future. If it cannot be done, it will only cost two people. Lao An's money..." At this point, she pursed her lips and smiled before continuing, "I did it because there was a big tree behind me to enjoy the shade, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come up with random ideas."
The two Lao An people laughed after hearing this.
Pei Lao'an waved his hands in a good mood and said, "Even if you pass this matter, we, the female family members of the Pei Mansion, will not let you show up or stand at the forefront of the storm." ”
Yu Tang hurriedly thanked the two Lao An people.
Ren Yi Laoan also looked at her lovingly and nodded slightly.
It's obvious that he has a crush on her.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
A little maid came in to report that Miss Gu was here.
