Delicate Flower Chapter 23: I don’t know
Yu Tang was really afraid of the recurrence of the past and getting involved with the Li family again, and she was unwilling to ruin Ma Xiuniang's interest. She quietly asked A Tiao: "Go back and tell my mother that Mrs. Li is lying. Before I go home, I can’t promise the Li family anything.”
A Tiao was a little confused, but today Yu Tang came to see the second young master of the Li family. He just talked to the second young master of the Li family. Yu Tang couldn't wait to get home and asked him to report the news. This must be the case. It was an important matter, so he hurriedly agreed and ran down the mountain in a hurry.
Yu Tang felt slightly at ease, and then he was in the mood to accompany Ma Xiuniang to the Brush Washing Spring.
Ma Xiuniang began to feel suspicious and said, "Did the second young master of the Li family say something inappropriate? I just heard them making noise!"
In her heart, such a man's character is absolutely unacceptable. No matter how good his family background is or how handsome he is, he can't agree to it.
In both lives, Li Jun never did anything to offend Yu Tang, and Yu Tang could not wrong him just because he was a descendant of the Li family.
She said: "That's not true. It's just that I don't like to look like him."
Ma Xiuniang felt a little pity and said: "Then there is no way. It's like vegetables and radishes, everyone has their own preferences. You can't force it."
The more Yu Tang gets along with Ma Xiuniang, the more he feels that she is transparent and considerate, and that she is a rare person to be friends with.
She smiled and took Ma Xiuniang's arm, called her "sister" affectionately, and talked about the topic she was interested in: "Have you and Mr. Zhang's wedding date been set? You will also need to buy furniture by then. , order wedding cakes, and invite all the happy people, is it too late?"
"It's too late!" Ma Xiuniang's attention was diverted as expected. She happily talked about her own affairs, "My mother made two camphor wood boxes for me a long time ago, such as furniture. The rest is just First, stay close to the Zhang family, as many as you have..."
The two of them were talking and soon arrived at the Bi-washing Spring.
The Xibi Spring is a small spring. Under the spring is a small depression that is half hidden in the rocks and half exposed. It is no more than three feet wide and no deeper than two knees. It is crystal clear and is surrounded by two trees as thick as a bowl. , I don’t know what species it is, but the crown of the tree is like an umbrella, covering the puddle low, and unknown grass blades fall on the water.
Seven or eight women were fetching water from the small pool.
Zhang Hui and the boy stood far away beside a large lying bluestone, and their eyes lit up when they saw it.
Ma Xiuniang pursed her lips and smiled.
The two of them didn't say a word, but their eyebrows were filled with joy, making people feel happy just looking at them.
Seeing that the mountain road leading to Xibi Spring continued to wind up, as if it could be climbed, Yu Tang couldn't help but smiled and asked Ma Xiuniang in a low voice: "Do you want to go climbing? The magpie and I will rest here for a while and drink. Get some water and go."
Ma Xiuniang's face turned red and she whispered: "You can go hiking with us."
Yu Tang shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm tired from walking, so I want to take a rest here!"
Of course Ma Xiuniang can't leave her alone, and if she wants to say anything else, Yu Tang has already said: "I just met the second young master of the Li family. I want to be quiet first and think about what to do in the future."
Ma Xiuniang thought about it and decided not to persuade her anymore. She gave the magpie a few words and saw that the number of people coming to fetch water gradually decreased. Then she gave Zhang Hui a look and headed up the mountain first.
Zhang Hui didn't know what happened. She glanced at Yu Tang curiously and waited for Ma Xiuniang to walk some distance before following her.
Yu Tang is really thinking about what to do in the future.
The affairs of the Li family must be investigated clearly, otherwise even if she recruits a son-in-law at home, it will be very easy for the Li family to deal with their family.
She had seen the Li family's methods in her previous life.
For some reason, Yu Tang suddenly thought of Mr. Pei San.
She suddenly felt that she was not entirely right to think so.
If they asked the Pei family for protection, the Li family would definitely not dare to deal with them at will.
The problem lies in the word "casual".
Why did the Pei family fight against the Li family for their own family?
How important is what Lin wants to the Li family? Will the Li family prefer to confront the Pei family because of this?
Thinking of this, Yu Tang became a little irritable.
Why must their family rely on the Pei family or obey the Li family?
After all, their family is still not strong enough.
But their family is small, and it is too late to let the eldest cousin go to school at this time!
After all, distant water cannot quench near thirst.
Is there a second way to go?
Continue doing business and move out of Lin'an?
There are more dignitaries in Hangzhou Prefecture, and they are outsiders. It is difficult for them to get the protection of aristocratic families. It is better to be in Lin'an, at least surrounded by well-informed folks. The Yu family has always been kind to others. If something happens to their family, the neighbors Many are willing to help.
In her previous life, after her parents passed away, she received a lot of help from them.
Hey!
It’s really hard to go left and right.
If Mr. Pei San encounters such a thing, I wonder how he will make a rescue?
Yu Tang held her chin there and worried.
The magpie saw her sitting there quietly for almost two quarters of an hour without saying a word. She was a little bored, so she broke off a branch and made a flower crown nearby where she could be seen at a glance.
Someone came to fetch water again.
Yu Tang glanced casually.
He is a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with his hair combed, wearing a green lotus-colored Hangzhou silk robe, holding a small wooden bucket in his arms, with a round and pink face, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
Aware of Yu Tang's gaze, he glanced at Yu Tang curiously, then showed a surprised expression, and did not move his eyes for a long time.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Tang smiled and teased him: "Do you know me?"
The boy shook his head quickly as if he was frightened. He didn't dare to look at her anymore and turned around to fetch water.
Yu Tang looked funny and his mood became lighter.
While the boy was fetching water, he secretly peeped at her, as if she were a big tiger who could eat him with her mouth open. It was very fun.
Yu Tang said: "What are you going to do?"
Although the wooden bucket in the boy's arms is small, it can still hold four or five kilograms of water. The boy is still young, so it is okay for a short time. If he walks a long way, he may not be able to hold it. What's more, this boy is dressed like a wealthy family, but he works as a servant. He must be a scholar raised by some gentleman. Moreover, this family is not only very wealthy, but also very friendly to the servants around him. Otherwise, this boy's His expression will no longer be so lively.
She felt that most likely this boy came to the temple to play with the owner of the family.
The boy thought for a while and said shyly: "It's the abbot who wants to make tea. My master asked me to get water."
It is normal for the servants at home to dress like this and be received personally by the abbot of Zhaoming Temple.
Yu Tang smiled and said: "I only heard that drinking this spring water can improve eyesight and clear the lungs. I didn't know it can also be used to make tea. Is it good to make tea?"
The boy listened and laughed and said: "It doesn't taste good! But the abbot said that drinking tea is a wise decision. Our master is most annoyed by others being so arty. I don't want to argue with him, so I just let him go. Anyway, our master is Don’t drink.”
Yu Tang was stunned after hearing this, and actually commented on the abbot of Zhaoming Temple like this... She thought the master of the boy's family was very interesting, and she laughed.
The boy also laughed as he looked at her, seeming to be closer to Yu Tang.
He placed the half-filled wooden bucket on the bluestone next to him, half complaining and half proudly saying: "It's true! Our master said that the best spring in the world, old snow water, Those were all created by scribes who had nothing to do in order to fool people. No matter what kind of water it is, it can be used for a few days. Our master also said that one of his senior brothers bought a boat and stopped on the river in the middle of the night. In the middle, he dived three feet into the river and fetched a bucket of water to make tea. He also divided it into spring, summer, autumn and winter. Everyone in the world imitated it and it became all the rage. They were all a bunch of lunatics."
Yu Tang burst out laughing, gave the boy a thumbs up, and said, "Your master is a true celebrity, with the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties."
Hearing this, the boy showed a proud expression, hugged the small wooden bucket and said, "The host master and our master are still waiting for my water. I'll leave first."
Yu Tang waved at him and said, "Slow down, be careful not to fall."
The boy nodded obediently and asked her: "Why are you here alone? How about waiting for me to send the water back and tell our master that I will accompany you. I will leave after your family comes over. ?"
"No need!" Yu Tang pointed to the magpie in the distance, "I'm just taking a rest here!"
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to her with a smile, and left with the small wooden bucket in his arms.
Yu Tang continued to think about the Li family.
How can we get rid of the Li family if we don’t rely on others?
What people or things can the Li family use?
She slowly recalled what happened after she married into the Li family in her previous life.
The Li family later made their fortune by doing maritime business. ~IndoMTL.com~ Unlike the people in Lin'an Prefecture, who found connections in Hangzhou for shipping business, the Li family found connections in Fujian, through Lin's natal family. The Li family's methods began to be fierce, and it was also after they suddenly became rich, with money as their courage, and their official position as their umbrella. These are all things that have not happened now and cannot be used as a basis at all.
Of course, there is another thing that can be used, which is Li Duan's coveting of her.
But this is so disgusting.
She would rather die than take advantage of this.
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up.
What about Li Jun?
What if we use Li Jun?
For example, Li Jun died unexpectedly in his previous life.
What if she saved Li Jun, asked for repayment, and asked Li Jun to swear not to marry her or become an enemy of the Yu family?
The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more he realized it was feasible.
The biggest problem is to dispel Li Jun's interest in her.
Then you have to clearly reject Li Jun first, or make a marriage arrangement as quickly as possible. Then she arranged for her fiancé to rescue Li Jun.
My friend’s wife is definitely not easy to bully!
Yu Tang felt that once the depression of the past few days was gone, his mood became better.
However, in the end, you still have to be self-reliant.
It’s just that she doesn’t have any ideas now, so she can only think about it slowly.
Yu Tang made up her mind and went to find Magpie and make some flower crowns with her.
When Ma Xiuniang and Zhang Hui came back, she gave Ma Xiuniang some flower crowns.
In order to avoid Li Jun and others, they did not eat fast at Zhaoming Temple. They bought a few boxes of Zhaoming Temple's unique vegetarian snacks, borrowed a secluded corner from a roadside restaurant in Amituo Village, and ate their own meals. After bringing the dry food with them, they waited until A Tiao came to pick them up, and then they went back home.
