Delicate Flower Chapter 184: Busy


The feeling of going home is very, very different from being outside. When it comes to eating, the food in the Pei family is much better than that in the Yu family, but no matter what happens when Yu Tang eats at the Pei family, even if she is alone, she will feel a little reserved. But at her own home, even if she sat with her uncle and aunt at the same table and had to "sleep silently", she would still feel at ease and happy; for the same purpose of sleeping, even the other courtyard of Pei Mansion used a lacquered bed. She slept on a black mother-of-pearl bed, and she would still toss and turn every night and it would take two sticks of incense to fall asleep. Lying on her four-poster carved bed hung with a new fine gauze curtain, smelling the soft smell of the sun in the quilt, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, and she slept until the afternoon of the next day.

When Yu Tang opened his eyes, he happened to hear Shuang Tao talking to Mrs. Chen: "...that persimmon is really delicious, not bitter at all, and sweet. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious persimmon. .Liuxu said that the white frost was all sun-dried and shipped here from Fujian. The lady also likes to eat it. When the lady came back from the Pei Mansion this time, the Pei Mansion gave our family two small baskets of persimmon cakes. Speaking of which, the maids in the Pei family are really good. For example, Liu Xu, who was assigned to serve in our house, is said to be only a second-class servant in the Pei family, not outstanding, but she is very careful and considerate in her work. As for the persimmon cake delivery, I heard that she was the one who told Aunt Chen. When I first went there, I thought the lady was making a fuss out of a molehill, but after being in contact with Liuxu for a while, I was quite grateful to the lady for letting me learn the rules from her."

Should we stop talking about these things everywhere?

Expose yourself to your shortcomings!

Yu Tang turned over, and there was a slight rustling sound in the room. Shuangtao immediately stopped talking and whispered to Mrs. Chen: "The lady must be awake. I'll go take a look. You can take these pastries first." Just leave it here. After I’ve seen it, the lady will come over and clean it up.”

In the past, Shuangtao might not have always paid attention to Yu Tang's movements, and even if he had noticed, he would not have come so proactively to see if she had any requests.

It can be seen that Shuangtao has made some progress after following her to the Pei Mansion.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and Shuang Tao helped him get up and wash herself.

Ms. Chen is here.

When she came over, she was holding a red lacquer box in her hand. When she saw Yu Tang, she looked a little nervous: "A Tang, have you ever looked carefully at the gift list from the Pei family? I have been collecting it before. I was checking the things sent by the Pei family and found this box." With that, he opened the box.

There was a gleaming golden light, which made people unable to open their eyes.

"They are all gold jewelry." Ms. Chen continued worriedly, "Your father and I made a rough estimate, and it must weigh two or three kilograms. This, this is too expensive! Why are you so expensive? Accept it?"

Yu Tang was also surprised. He stood up and took the box and looked at it carefully: "I really don't know. At that time, the gift list of the Pei family was in an outer envelope. It wasn't until I went home to say goodbye to Mr. Pei Lao'an. The manager only gave it to me. How could I have the nerve to see what was written on the gift list in front of the Pei family? Then I was in a hurry to go home, thinking that I would collect all the things and return the gifts in the same way later. , so I haven’t opened the gift list to read it.”

A box of gold jewelry is a set of jewelry. In addition to distractions, hairpins and the like, there are also hair on the temples, all of which are red gold. Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the pair of sideburns, the size of a wine cup, made in the style of peonies. They can only hold one or two taels in the hand. The petals are as thin as paper and trembling. The skill is very superb and unique. It can't be beaten by ordinary gold towers.

This is not a matter of how much gold it is, but how much silver it is worth.

No wonder her mother is uneasy.

She was also very uneasy.

"What did daddy say?" Yu Tang asked about such a big matter, and it was impossible for her mother-in-law not to discuss it with her daddy.

Mrs. Chen said helplessly: "What can you expect your father to say? He can only say 'the days are long', but what can our family do to repay the Pei family's gift! Anyway, I told your father, In a few days, I will take you to greet Mr. Pei Lao'an and send you something, so that your father will worry about it."

Yu Tang giggled, imagining his father scratching his head and not knowing what to do.

Ms. Chen put the box away and said, "Let me put it away for you. Such a good thing must be kept for your dowry." After saying that, Mrs. Chen said "Oops" and said, "Look at me. Memory! Your brother sent someone to ask you if you had gotten up early this morning. He said that he had something important to see you. When you got up, he asked me to send someone to tell him - I completely forgot about it. I Then send someone to tell your brother, and bring a letter to ask your eldest uncle, eldest aunt, and your sister-in-law to come over for dinner. It's rare that you are at home, and it's almost the New Year, so there's no need to tell the difference so clearly."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

She also has something to ask her aunt.

My eldest aunt's cousin's husband's family name seems to be Zeng Lai, and he has a mole on the corner of his mouth. But she asked several people at Ku'an Temple, but no one knew about this woman. Moreover, when she mentioned Ku'an Temple yesterday, her eldest aunt did not mention that she had a cousin in Ku'an Temple.

Did she remember it wrong?

My eldest aunt's cousin once said that she was abandoned by her husband's family because her son fell and drowned. If she has not entered Ku'an Temple, does it mean that her son can still be saved?

Yu Tang felt a little anxious.

Fortunately, my aunt came earlier.

She left Xiangshi to her mother regardless, and her mother talked with her. She pulled her aunt aside to whisper and asked about Zengshi.

The eldest aunt looked very confused and said: "I have a cousin who married into the Zeng family, but she died due to dystocia more than ten years ago. It is impossible for her to become a monk or meditate in Ku'an Temple! Are you? Did you remember it wrong? Also, I shouldn’t have mentioned my cousin’s matter to you. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have had any impression of it myself?”

Yu Tang was completely confused.

She asked: "What is the surname of your cousin who married into the Zeng family?"

"My surname is Zhang." Wang said, "I only have this cousin."

Yu Tang said: "Is it possible that someone from the Zeng family didn't want everyone to pay attention to her affairs, so she just said she was your cousin in front of me?"

"It's possible." The eldest aunt thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then I'd better send someone to find out. Maybe something really happened? Can you help me? Good job."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, and her eldest aunt asked her about Ku'an Temple: "According to you, the women of the Pei family are ready to help the people of Ku'an Temple to support themselves? I think this is really a good thing. . If you have anything useful for me and your mother, just ask. You little girls don’t know how many women have a bad life after getting married. They were kicked out and basically disappeared. A way to survive. If the work in Ku'an Temple can be accomplished, you will have done a great good deed to save the suffering!"

"Without the female members of the Pei family, how could I have done such a thing." Yu Tang and the eldest aunt said modestly, but they were worried about the son of the woman from the Zeng family, and urged the eldest aunt to send someone to Zeng. Take a look at home.

The eldest aunt called Wang Si in.

Yu Tang was shocked.

The eldest aunt smiled and said: "Wang Si helped a lot while you were away from home. Your eldest uncle is even planning to accept him as his disciple!"

In this way, he will always be a member of the Yu family.

Yu Tang saw that his hands and feet were more agile, and his eyes showed a bit of shrewdness. He was no longer on the same level as Wang Si when he first arrived.

Maybe it's a good thing to leave him at the Yu family.

No one is available in the Yu family.

Yu Tang smiled and greeted him.

He bowed respectfully to Yu Tang, accepted the order and left.

A little later, Yu Yuan rushed over.

He came to talk to Yu Tang about the business of the lacquerware shop: "Those patterns painted by Mr. Zhang are very popular. In just a few days, they sold for nearly thirty taels of silver. I mean, how many of you are here? Tian Tian personally went to the Zhang family. After all, you and Mr. Zhang’s wife discussed this business in the first place. I think it’s better to leave this matter to you. If you can persuade Mr. Zhang to paint a few more paintings for us, then It couldn't be better."

What else can Yutang do? I can only agree. But she also entrusted Yu Yuan to make a suitable red lacquer box for the second daughter of the Pei family. She would give it to the second daughter of the Pei family as a gift: "Think about it, if the Pei family and the Yang family get married, When the dowry is displayed, many people will definitely come to watch the ceremony. If our lacquerware can make those people take a high look, it will definitely bring some business to our shop."

Yu Yuan agrees with her views very much, and he also believes that no matter what kind of opportunity it is, as long as there is a chance, you should try it and seize it.

He said: "Leave this matter to me. I will make a few more looks and let you choose when the time comes. Make sure to make one that the second lady of the Pei family will like." Then he talked about the Yu family The seabuckthorn fruits planted in the fields and mountains of the old house are gone: "Wang Si's rare attentiveness has allowed several trees to survive. They will definitely grow better next year, and we can continue to get some saplings to plant. Because it involves planting seedlings." , let’s ask my second uncle what he wants when the time comes.”

The brother and sister talked for a long time about the future~IndoMTL.com~Yu Bo also came back from the shop.

The two went to the hall together, and the whole family had a sumptuous reunion dinner together.

In the next few days, Yu Tang felt like he was so busy that he couldn't stop like a top.

She first went to Mr. Zhang’s house to see little Zhang Qing, and asked him tactfully if he could continue to draw a few pictures for their home. Ma Xiuniang politely refused in embarrassment. Yu Tang had been mentally prepared before. Although he was a little disappointed, he could still accept it. Afterwards, she went back to her hometown to look at the seabuckthorn trees. As her eldest cousin said, they were very good-looking, and both Wang Si and the forest watcher had spent a lot of time on them. Yu Tang rewarded Lin Ren with one tael of silver. As for Wang Si, he rewarded him after he came back from Wang's cousin's husband's house. Of course, compared to Lin Ren, Yu Tang rewarded him with one more tael of silver. .

He took the money and thanked her again and again, and then talked about the missing person: "The cousin of the eldest wife's natal family has a girl who is about the same age as the cousin. She married in the same village, separated by only A piece of woods, just like you said, there is a mole on the corner of her mouth. However, since she married into her husband's family, she has given birth to five girls in succession, but no sons. She is still living in her husband's family today. I don't know if you want it. The person who inquired."
