Delicate Flower Chapter 208: Breathable
Is Pei Yan so kind?
Yu Tang looked at the rock sugar bird's nest in his hand and thought, "The third master just asked A Ming to send the bird's nest over, and didn't say anything else?"
Shuangtao thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't say anything else."
Yu Tang whispered: "Why did you suddenly think of sending food over?"
She took a bite and found it was quite sweet, then said, "Have you sent over mother's bowl?"
Shuangtao said hurriedly: "Send it over. My wife has already changed her clothes, and Mrs. Chen came out to pick her up."
After hearing this, Yu Tang drank the bird's nest in three gulps and handed the empty bowl to Shuangtao. Shuangtao put the bowl and brought water to Yu Tang to rinse his mouth. Mrs. Chen came in with an empty bowl and said: "Madam said, you can't accept the gift of the third master in vain, and ask us to take it with you when you return the bowl." Send two boxes of peanut cakes."
When I came to Zhaoming Temple this time, Chen made a lot of snacks to prepare as gifts.
Yu Tang thought it was feasible and let Shuangtao and Mrs. Chen mess around. She fell asleep with her pillow on her and it was dawn.
Shuangtao hurriedly came in to help her wash up, muttering: "Yesterday when I went to return the bowls, the lights were brightly lit in the third master's house. It is said that this time, in addition to the female dependents of the Song family and the Peng family, the eldest master of the Song family and the The fourth master, the eldest master of the Peng family, the third master and the fifth master, the sixth master, the seventh master, the eldest master and the second master are all here. The third master is talking to them! I heard that there will be two masters from the Huzhou Wu family tomorrow. , two young masters, several wives and young ladies came over. Master Zhike of Zhaoming Temple was very worried, and spent the whole night discussing how to arrange the wing rooms. Fortunately, we followed the people from the Pei Mansion and moved in first, otherwise we would really have stopped here. There’s no room left.”
She also nagged: "The Pei family has hosted temple fairs and lectures before, and this time the largest number of people came. The eminent monk Pei Lao'an invited from the Southern Shaolin Temple must be very powerful. Miss, if that person The eminent monk is willing to pray for you and the ladies of the Pei family. Tell me, should we prepare any kind of thank you gift? What kind of thank you gift should we prepare? Do you want to ask Aunt Ji for advice on this matter?"
In Shuangtao's view, Aunt Ji and Shopkeeper Tong are in-laws, so they can be considered friends of the Yu family.
Yu Tang nodded casually and said, "You have to ask Mom about this." But in her heart, she thought that the families who came to attend the lecture were all the same families who came to take the map. , counting the days, the ship should be built soon. To say that the appearance of these companies has nothing to do with maritime trade, she does not believe it.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building!
Yu Tang took a deep breath, feeling a little uneasy.
After Mrs. Chen finished dressing, she came over to her daughter's side. Seeing that Yu Tang had almost finished cleaning up, she asked Mrs. Chen to bring breakfast over, while she sat on the embroidered pier beside the round table in the middle of the room to discuss with her daughter. He sent the eminent monk a thank-you gift and praised Yu Wen: "Fortunately, your father asked me to bring two good inkstones. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get the snacks I made. This mountain is no better than the one at the bottom. I got money." I can't buy anything either. This shows that there still needs to be someone in the family who can make decisions." Then the topic shifted to her marriage, "Don't always listen to your father and turn a deaf ear to everything I say. What if? This time Mrs. Wu arranges for you to see each other, you have to have a good look at each other. If you don’t get in touch with this person, you won’t know what his temper is. Maybe this is your fate..."
Yu Tang seemed to be respectful, but he listened with one ear and went out with the other.
She knows her mother's feelings, but she always feels that marriage sometimes depends on fate. If fate comes, even if you go round and round, this person is still yours. Without fate, just like in the previous life, the marriage will be suddenly lost.
It wasn't until Mrs. Chen came over with breakfast that she interrupted Chen's words.
Ms. Chen also knew that it was not good for her to do this, but she became extremely anxious when she saw her daughter looking indifferent to her marriage. However, it is a good idea to come to Zhaoming Temple to attend the sutra lecture this time. I heard that many ladies from respectable squire families came here. Maybe my daughter’s chance will be at this lecture meeting?
Thinking about this, Mrs. Chen cheered up again, had breakfast with her daughter, took the two boxes that A Ming had sent last night, and was about to go to Pei Lao'an's place, when a little novice monk ran away He came in and said: "Mrs. Yu, there is a lady named Wu who said that she is a neighbor of yours and wants to see you if she has something to do."
Ms. Chen and Yu Tang were stunned and hurriedly invited someone in.
The person who came was a lady-in-law who was close to Mrs. Wu. She looked embarrassed and said: "Our wife heard that there was going to be a lecture here and asked me to come here in advance to book a private room. Who knew that I was in advance? Three days later, I arrived at the temple before dawn, but the master Zhike in the temple said that the wing room was gone... I had heard it before, saying that you would move in early with the female members of the Pei family, so I was patient. I'm here to see you, see if you can find a way to book a room for our wife."
Ms. Chen can’t make the decision in this matter, she said: “I also borrowed the power of the Pei family.” But the Wu family helped their family a lot, and she was embarrassed to refuse like this, and said, “Otherwise, You should try to search as much as possible first, and I will also help you ask to see if we can work together to book a private room for your wife."
The woman left with great gratitude.
Ms. Chen shook her head and said, "Mrs. Wei also said that she would bring her family members over that day. Looking at this, she definitely won't be able to book a private room."
Yu Tang remained silent.
Ms. Chen also knew that this matter was not easy to handle, and it would not be something that could be done or done at once, so she suppressed her emotions and went to Pei Lao'an's place with Yu Tang first.
Aunt Ji was on duty at the door. When she saw Yu Tang and her daughter, she winked at them, then turned around and whispered a few words to a little maid behind her, and welcomed Yu Tang and her daughter to the waiter next to them.
Yu Tang and her daughter found that Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu were already sitting in the tea room drinking tea.
Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu stood up to meet Yu Tang and her daughter. Mrs. Yang San even pointed to the pastries on the coffee table and said to Chen, "I haven't had the pastries in Beijing for several years. I've eaten it. Try it and see if it suits your taste."
Mr. Chen thanked her and sat down next to Mrs. Yang San.
Aunt Ji smiled bitterly and explained: "The ladies from the Song family and the Peng family came here with a few young masters, so I have to ask you and the third wife to have a cup of tea here first."
From that tone, people from the Song family and the Peng family are not very welcome.
Ms. Chen hurriedly said: "The third wife and I both have little girls. Lao An arranged this arrangement very thoughtfully and considerately. Just in time, I can still talk to the third wife."
Mrs. Yang San also nodded, smiled and said to Aunt Ji: "There are so many guests from Lao An, so it must be very busy. We are not outsiders, so you don't need to worry about us. Mrs. Yu and I Let’s talk. Speaking of which, when I was a kid, I came to Lin’an once with my father. This is the second time. I heard that Mrs. Yu’s dim sum is good, so I wanted to ask Mrs. Yu for advice!”
She helped the Pei family and Aunt Ji step down. Aunt Ji was naturally very grateful and had a very good impression of her. Not only did she say a lot of compliments to Mrs. Yang San, she also personally poured it for Mrs. Yang San, Mrs. Chen and others. I ordered a cup of tea, left the little maid here to serve, and then left the tea room.
Mrs. Yang San really exchanged tips on making dim sum with Mr. Chen.
It can be seen from listening to Mrs. Yang San's words that she comes from a good background, has been to many places, and has a lot of experience in talking about dim sum in the north and south. Mrs. Chen also wanted to ask Mrs. Yang San for advice. The two talked passionately and laughed constantly.
Yu Tang was a little better. She was forced to make dim sum by Mrs. Chen, and she could still understand.
Miss Xu has probably never done these things before. It was like listening to a book from heaven. At the beginning, she could still sit upright and patiently. As time went by, she began to move around, like a child.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
Miss Xu didn't take it seriously and found an opportunity to whisper in her ear: "Should we go to the official room?"
Yu Tang almost couldn't hold back laughter.
Miss Xu glared at her unhappily.
Yu Tang felt that he should not laugh at Miss Xu, so he quickly agreed to accompany her to the official room.
Her eyes immediately brightened, and she carefully asked Mrs. Yang San for leave.
Mrs. Yang San glanced at Miss Xu with a half-smiling look, and replied that she agreed, but she asked her mother-in-law to accompany Miss Xu and Yu Tang to the official room, and said to the mother-in-law: "You have the bright spots in your eyes." , don’t meet people you shouldn’t meet.”
The woman hurriedly bowed and said "yes".
Miss Xu pulled Yu Tang out of the waiter.
She took a long breath while standing under the eaves, and whispered to Yu Tang: "You can really sit still, but I can't. If you let me sit like this for a long time, I will lose half my life." After she finished speaking, she asked the mother-in-law, "Do you know what Miss Pei's second daughter is doing? It would be great if we could find her and play with her for a while." She said the last sentence to Yu Tang.
The mother-in-law should be very aware of Miss Xu's temper. She said before Yu Tang could answer: "Second Miss Pei was called by Lao An to meet the elders of the Song and Peng families. When she can come out, Miss Cousin should also be going to see Lao An."
Miss Xu was very disappointed.
Yu Tang asked her: "Then do we still have to go to the official office?"
Miss Xu hesitated and said: "The official rooms here must be very smelly, right?"
The woman replied: "Why don't you come with me to the back yard? There are many sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted in the back yard~IndoMTL.com~ It's a pity that it's not autumn, otherwise the sweet-scented osmanthus must be fragrant and very beautiful. ."
Miss Xu lost interest and said, "Forget it, I'd better go sit under the camphor tree over there with Sister Yu for a while."
Only then did Yu Tang discover that there were two-arm-thick camphor trees in the main room in the north of the courtyard where Pei Laoan lived and in the side room in the east. There was a long bamboo bench under the tree.
The woman smiled and said: "The cousin and Miss Yu will wait for me for a while, and I will ask someone to bring some cotton mats over. Although it is spring, it is still a bit cold to sit on this bamboo bench."
Miss Xu hurriedly urged her to get it, and then invited Yu Tang over: "It's too inconspicuous for us to stand here, why not go over there and wait."
Looks very experienced.
Yu Tang smiled. Just as he and Miss Xu stood under the camphor tree, he saw Mrs. Pei angrily walking out of Pei Lao'an's hall, followed by Mrs. Chen who looked anxious.
