Delicate Flower Chapter 255: Vigor
Qingyuan didn't care about the eldest wife's reaction.
On the surface, the eldest master and the third master are in harmony with each other, but in fact they are on the same level. Moreover, the eldest wife thinks that this relationship is still good. As a person in the third master's house, even if she is flattering the eldest wife, Not only will the eldest lady not appreciate it, she will also think that the third master owes the eldest master and is trying to please them. Why should she give the third master's face to the eldest lady?
Qing Yuan and Hu Xing discussed the matter of fresh fruits: "It is the season when all things revive. The cherries are on the market, and the wild water chestnuts should be on the market, right? In any case, you can find a way to send some over. The third master is back, I wish I had an explanation."
"This is natural." Hu Xing was startled and at the same time, he felt a little proud in his heart.
He has always been courteous to the Yu family, which shows that this move is the right one.
"You can rest assured." He assured Qingyuan, "Except for a few Lao An people, even Miss Yu, no one can live without Miss Yu."
Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "That doesn't have to be like this. Miss Yu is a junior, so she is too generous and it is not good to attract other people's attention."
Hu Xing smiled and said: "Why don't you worry about me doing things? I guarantee that no one will notice and no one will make irresponsible remarks."
Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction.
Hu Xing is one of the three general managers in the mansion. If he does not have this vision and ability, the position of the general manager should be replaced.
She carried half a basket of apples back to Yu Tang's place, cut a plate of fresh fruit and brought it in.
Yu Tang learned from Liu Gongquan, and Miss Xu learned from Mrs. Wei. Yu Tang's writing strokes are sharper, while Ms. Xu's strokes are much softer. But Miss Xu is obviously better at writing than Yu Tang.
Qing Yuan remained calm, moved the pen holder between them, and said with a smile: "You can copy the fruit after you eat it! Otherwise, the fruit will turn black later."
Miss Xu was originally just killing time, but now she had other things to do. She immediately threw away her pen and pulled Yutang to eat apples. She also said: "The cherries were delicious yesterday! Don't they have any today? I asked Ah Fu to give them to you. A few scraps of silver, send a boy to buy some."
Qing Yuan personally served tea to the two of them and said with a smile: "The cherries here in Lin'an are not big and are on the sour side. The cherries from Shandong were rushed over from Shandong yesterday. They are big and on the sweet side." We didn't expect that both ladies like to eat cherries from Shandong. I'll give the order right now, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come today and have to wait for a day or two. How about sending someone to buy some local cherries first? What if? The two ladies think it's too sour, so you can add rock sugar or honey to make jam and drink it with water, it's also delicious."
Miss Xu couldn't help but look at Qingyuan and said with a smile: "This method of yours is also used in our family. When did you enter the house? Have you been to the capital with the third master?"
The climate in the capital is dry and windy, so fruits are not suitable for storage and are usually made into jam.
Qingyuan smiled and said: "My family is a servant. I entered the mansion when I was five years old. I served in Lao An's house before, and I started serving the third master when I was eight years old. When the third master went to the capital, I also Went together."
In other words, she was the first to go to the mansion and learned the rules in Lao Anren's house.
He is a true confidant.
Miss Xu nodded secretly.
Yu Tang also noticed that Qing Yuan was different, but she felt that she was just a passerby in the Pei Mansion. Qing Yuan treated her politely, and she respected Qing Yuan. For other things, there was no need to pry, she knew more. Not a good thing either.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, and soon it was lunch time.
Mrs. Yang San, who lives next door, felt very tired when she saw the old lady sitting opposite her drinking tea.
The words have made it very clear. The Yin family is very thin, and both sons and daughters are valued. It is impossible to marry their daughter to Pei Fei as a wife. Does the eldest lady of the Pei family really don’t understand? Or are you pretending to be confused?
Mrs. Yang San no longer wanted to talk to her, let alone leave her lunch to satisfy herself.
She brought the tea and said with a smile: "I still need to drink medicine, so I won't keep you here. Let's have a good talk when we have some time."
The eldest lady was very disappointed.
She thought that Mrs. Yang San closed the door to thank guests. She must be bored alone, and she should be very welcome to come to visit her as an old friend from Beijing. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang San was still as annoying as before. Every word she spoke was thorny, and the two of them couldn't sit still. Go to a table.
But she had to fight for her second son's marriage no matter what, and could not let the Pei family make the decision.
It's just a pity that her mother's family doesn't have a girl of the same age as her second son, otherwise why would she choose to live far away?
The eldest wife is not a shameless person. She has been able to persist until now with the support of a loving mother. Now that she has been rejected by Mrs. Yang San so nakedly and nakedly, she can no longer persist.
She stood up and left with a cold face.
Mrs. Yang San sent her out personally.
When I went out, I saw a woman in her room holding a large blue and white porcelain plate and talking to someone at the door.
When they saw Mrs. Yang San and Mrs. Pei, they immediately lowered their hands and stepped aside respectfully.
They walked over and it was over, but the eldest lady wanted to show her tolerance and generosity and asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
The mother-in-law in Mrs. Yang San's house said hurriedly: "Miss Yu sent me a plate of large dumplings with plain stuffing. I am thanking them."
The eldest wife saw that the unfamiliar woman was carrying a box of snacks in her hand, but she didn't take it to heart. She exchanged greetings with Mrs. Yang San for a few words and then returned to the quiet room where she lived.
Who would have thought that as soon as she entered the door and sat down, she heard the little maid saying that Mrs. Yang had been wronged today.
The eldest lady frowned and called Mrs. Yang over for questioning.
Mrs. Yang looked like she could bear everything and said warmly: "It's not a big deal. Didn't you say yesterday that you would give Angelica dahurica some big buns with plain stuffing so that she could take them out to her relatives to try? Today she is going to get the buns. , who knew that Miss Yu thought it was delicious, so she brought an extra plate, but she didn’t have a share. I just wanted to go to the kitchen and ask someone to make an extra portion. The kitchen has never encountered such a thing before, I didn’t know what to do. I thought there was no point in embarrassing other people’s cooking for such a thing. We would have to eat food cooked by others in the future, so I told them and asked them to leave a portion for us tomorrow, which was considered a good thing. Completed what happened today."
The eldest lady thought of the scene she just saw.
She couldn't help but sneer and said: "It turns out that I want to curry favor with Mrs. Yang San. I don't know what I can gain by currying favor with her."
But she knew more clearly that she could not give anyone any benefit in the Pei Mansion, and she felt that life was increasingly difficult and she could not survive for a moment.
Lin'an is the eldest wife's husband's family after all, but Mrs. Yang is not familiar with this place. Her son still stays in the Yang family as an errand. It will be more uncomfortable for him to stay here for one more day. He wishes he could go back to the capital as soon as possible.
She asked: "When will the eldest son go to Hangzhou City?"
The Pei family in Lin'an is the only one in the family. Even if she calls her son over to help Pei Tong and Pei Fei, her son still has to be useful. But Hangzhou is different. The four major surnames in Jiangnan all have their clans settled there. The Pei family can't just speak out and take care of everything, right?
The eldest lady smiled and said: "There's no rush. My uncle-in-law came over and specially called A-tong over to take a test on A-tong's homework. Their family must be very satisfied. Even if we are not in a hurry for A-tong's career, they The family will also be anxious."
Otherwise, how could she choose Gu Xi as her daughter-in-law?
Still the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law!
I think back then, the Gu family could even look up to someone like Li Duan, let alone her son.
"However, after all, A-tong is young and doesn't care much about human relationships." The eldest lady said thoughtfully, "Go and prepare some gifts so that A-tong can go to his uncle's house and walk around more when he has something to do. . This uncle in law in our family is not an ordinary scholar. When he was alive, the eldest man praised him more than once, and said that there is no girl in our family, otherwise we would definitely find a way to marry him. "
At this point, she couldn't help but smile as she thought of the scene when her husband was talking to her.
Mr. Yang was extremely sad.
If the eldest man is still alive, why should the eldest wife worry about it?
But the eldest man’s illness came too suddenly, and he left as soon as he said he wanted to go, without even having time to explain...
She lowered her head and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.
At this time, the eldest lady looked squarely at Yu Tang. She asked Mrs. Yang: "Who is that Miss Yu? If I remember correctly, Miss Gu mentioned her specifically in front of me."
Mr. Yang had already asked about Yu Tang because of the plain stuffed buns. She knew that she was from a humble background, so she dared to complain about this in front of the eldest wife. Wen Yan hurriedly told the eldest lady everything she knew: "...because her father is a scholar and has a personal relationship with shopkeeper Tong Da. The third master has met her several times and asked her to come to the house to accompany Lao An... and several ladies. We also had fun together, and even made some incense recipes to make Buddhist incense for Ku'an Temple... During this lecture, their family also came back to the limelight..."
In the eyes of the eldest wife, Yu Tang is just a slut.
She said disdainfully: "Don't worry about her. I've seen this kind of people a lot. They play some tricks and think they can control others. By then, they won't even know how they died." ~IndoMTL.com~The top priority is to find a way to get A Tong to win Gu Chaoyang’s favor. We’ll talk about other things later.”
It was a long night for them living in Pei Mansion, and there were many times when nothing happened. When nothing happened, it was not too late to deal with those people who were not discerning.
Mr. Yang lowered her eyes and responded "Yes", and the eldest lady began to discuss with her what gift to give to Gu Chaoyang.
At noon, Gu Xi and Miss Wu had lunch together and took a detour to pass by Yutang's door.
The red Ruyi door is closed tightly, and pink wisteria hangs from the wall. The wind blows gently, making a rustling sound. There is a bit of sweetness in the silence, and it is as beautiful as a painting.
Gu Xi stood for a while before going to Miss Xu's place.
Who knew that Miss Xu was not at home, but at Yu Tang's place.
She didn't want to stay much longer, and she didn't want to see Yu Tang, so she simply went back to her room.
In the afternoon, when she arrived at the Dharma Hall, the second wife was talking to Mr. Pei Lao'an.
She stepped forward with a smile to say hello.
Pei Laoan looked in a good mood. He smiled and asked the little maid to grab a handful of melon seeds for her, and continued to listen to the second wife: "I also tried it, and the craftsmanship is really good. Miss Yu said, go in the evening When I say hello to you, I want to bring Granny Shi along with me. I think that’s good.”
"Then bring her here." Pei Laoan said with a smile to the several Laoan people around him, "If she is really good, it would not be a bad idea to invite her to the house from time to time."
Several Lao An people also smiled and nodded.
