Delicate Flower Chapter 259: Private house

Miss Wu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Gu Xi: "She is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot like this, so she is not afraid of offending the Pei family. Then Miss Xu returns to the capital again. Is there anything wrong with both ends?"

Gu Xi glanced at Miss Wu and said nothing, but in his heart he scolded Miss Wu bloody.

Pei Yan is also in Hangzhou City. Who knows whether Yu Tang accompanied Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San, or went to "encounter" Pei Yan?

But whether it was the former or the latter, it made her feel very uncomfortable.

This Yu Tang is quite powerful as he jumps up and down.

Does she want to marry into the Pei family?

However, I don’t know how high the sky is.

There is a huge difference between a wife and a concubine.

I just hope she won't cry when the time comes.

Gu Xi cursed in her heart, Yu Tang, Miss Xu, and Mrs. Yang San, escorted by Pei Qi, had returned to Lin'an City.

Yu Tang thought about making an appointment with Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San to stay at home for one night, and then take a boat to Hangzhou tomorrow morning.

Hu Xing, who accompanied them down the mountain, stepped forward with a smile and saluted Yu Tang, and said, "Miss, there is no need to go to such trouble. The boat is ready and parked at Tiaoxi Pier. Get on the boat at this time and sleep overnight. Tomorrow We arrived in Hangzhou early in the morning without any delay."

This is the correct travel mode for wealthy families.

Yu Tang’s face was slightly red.

Miss Xu came to her rescue and said with a smile: "I know you want to invite us to your home, but I'm afraid that Brother Yin is already waiting for us in Hangzhou City. Forget it this time, wait until the next time we come to An'an, I will bother you for a few days, and then just leave us alone."

Yu Tang kept saying "I don't dare" and passed through the house without entering. As the Pei family's mule cart arrived at the dock, the Pei family's boys swarmed up and helped them move the boxes and cages, while Yu Tang was led by Qing Yuan. He was helped into the cabin.

The Pei family sent a ship with seven cabins. It was one of the largest ships in Lin'an. However, Yu Tang had been to Hangzhou City and saw ships larger than this. Without looking around, she went directly to the cabin assigned to her.

Qingping and Qinglian brought water to Yutang. Shuangtao reached out to take it, but Qingping avoided it and said with a smile: "Sister Shuangtao, please go down and have a rest. Qinglian and I will serve here first." , Sister Shuangtao will accompany the young lady again tonight."

The seven cabins are all suites, with one large room, one small room, and a storage room. The small room is Yu Tang's room, and the large room is the reception room. The maids on duty live on the bed in the small room or on the Arhat bed in the reception room, and usually rest in the cabin on the second floor.

Shuangtao felt that he had done nothing these days, so he smiled and said: "How about I come to serve the lady, and which of you can go and rest first?"

Qingping smiled and said: "Sister Shuangtao is the person next to the young lady. It is the first time for the young lady to spend the night on the boat. It would be better to have someone familiar with her."

Double peach shame.

The Yu family is not so particular, and Yu Tang has never enjoyed such care.

But she felt that what Qingping said made sense, so she was not polite. She said to Qingping and Qinglian, "Thank you for your hard work," and went down to rest.

Qingping and Qinglian served Yu Tang to change clothes, and Qingyuan came in and said: "In the evening, I made eight-treasure duck, steamed fish, scallop soup, two fried vegetables, a dessert, and a midnight snack. These are small wontons. Miss, let’s see if there is anything else to add or subtract. Are you eating separately in the room or with Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San?”

Everyone was a little tired from the journey. Yu Tang smiled and said: "I'm going to have dinner in my room. You can make arrangements according to what Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San want."

She found that Qingyuan was very good at handling interpersonal relationships. As long as she told Qingyuan what she wanted to do, Qingyuan could do the details well. Just like this time, when she said she wanted to have dinner in her own room, Qingyuan would convey her intention to Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San politely and without rudeness, making them feel that everyone was having dinner in their own rooms. is the best.

Even some matrons may not be as capable as Qingyuan with such a talent.

It can be seen that all the powerful talents have gone to big families like Pei Mansion.

Of course, it takes a lot of effort to train such a big maid.

Qingyuan smiled and left in response.

Yu Tang did not have any late-night snacks at night. She lay in the swaying cabin and arrived in Hangzhou early the next morning.

The person who came to pick them up was shopkeeper Tong Er.

Yu Tang immediately stepped forward to greet shopkeeper Tong Er.

Business manager Tong Er was also very kind when he saw her. He smiled and praised her for "growing up" and looking more and more like Yu Wen.

Yu Tang thanked him.

Shopkeeper Tong Er went to say hello to Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San, and took them to Meijiaqiao.

Yu Tang quietly asked Qingyuan: "Why do you want to live in Meijiaqiao?"

The Pei family also has their own house in Hangzhou, and the house in Meijiaqiao is Pei Yan's private residence.

Qingyuan didn’t know either, and said, “When I see Pei Qi, I’ll ask him. However, the house over the Meijia Bridge has a very nice view, and there are many plum trees planted there. When Mr. Qian is around, he often stays there. It entertained high-ranking officials from the capital, and was rated as one of the top ten houses in the south of the Yangtze River by people in the capital. Later, when Mr. Qian went to Hexian, the house over Meijiaqiao was also vacant, and it had not entertained guests for many years. Miss, if you can go this time, it’s just the right time to take a look, so it’s a worthwhile trip!”

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Qingyuan told her: "The third master's house on the Meijiaqiao side is famous for its flowers and trees, the house on the Qingbo Gate side is famous for the lake and night view, and the other courtyard on the Fenghuang Mountain side is famous for the mountain scenery. Cuidian is the most beautiful. Unlike the Pei family’s old house in Hangzhou City, which is located on Xiaoheyu Street, it is convenient for travel, but has no special features."

Yu Tang is a little strange.

Don’t Pei Yan not like flowers and plants?

Is it because they are female relatives that they are arranged to live in Meijiaqiao?

But when she arrived at Meijiaqiao, before she could take a closer look at the house that occupied half of the street, she saw Pei Yan.

He stood at the gate of the house, wearing a moon-white Hangzhou silk jacket with dark patterns of bamboo leaves, and a sky-blue purse. His eyebrows were straight and his posture was straight. He stood there quietly, beautiful. Just like a painting.

Is he... waiting for her here...

Yu Tang felt hot in his heart and felt his face burning.

Pei Qi hurriedly ran towards Pei Yan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Pei Yan came over, saluted Mrs. Yang San who had just got off the carriage, and said, "I didn't expect such a coincidence. I was about to go to see Eunuch Wang, and could only wait until I came back from Eunuch Wang. Let me wash your dust again." After saying that, he glanced at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground, thinking that it was a good thing that he had been born in two generations, otherwise he would have been unable to control himself and reveal his true thoughts.

She lowered her head.

Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu gave Pei Yan a blessing ceremony.

Yu Tang also followed suit and bowed.

Mrs. Yang San then smiled and said: "I originally said that I would find an inn in Hangzhou to rest, but Lao An refused, so I was disrespectful. I'm sorry to disturb you!"

"You're welcome." Pei Yan exchanged a few greetings with Mrs. Yang San, Miss Xu, and Yu Tang, saying "stay safe" and so on. He said that the time to keep the appointment with Wang Qi was coming soon, so he got on the carriage and left.

Miss Xu immediately became more lively, took Yu Tang's arm and said, "Let's live together. This house is very big at first glance. If we live too far away, there won't even be anyone to talk to." ."

When you go to a strange place, of course it’s better to have company.

She responded with a smile.

Tong Er, the shopkeeper, took them to the cross-yard where guests were entertained.

Yu Tang was going to live with Miss Xu, but shopkeeper Tong Er said that they had already arranged a place for Yu Tang. Although it was right next door to the courtyard where Miss Xu lived, it was a courtyard as large as the main house. She felt a little empty.

Qingyuan thought it was just right, and pointed to the three wing rooms on the east and west sides and said: "This is a study room, and the other side is for Sister Shuangtao and the people on duty. You have to put some things in the back. The reverse seat is still a bit small for me."

Yu Tang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "We are just staying temporarily for a few days."

Qing Yuan said: "Then you can't wrong yourself!"

Yu Tang was speechless.

She didn't feel wronged.

However, now that everyone has made arrangements, if she changes places, Qingyuan and the others will have to tidy up the yard again for her, which will be even more troublesome.

Yu Tang settled down contentedly.

At noon, she had lunch with Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San.

After lunch, Mrs. Yang San went to take a lunch break. Miss Xu energetically took Yu Tang to visit the house.

Yu Tang also wanted to take a look, so he walked slowly along the verandah of the house, accompanied by Qingping and Qinglian.

Miss Xu raised her head and looked at the lotus lanterns and other pictures painted on the top of the verandah. She smiled and said to Yu Tang: "Our houses in the north all have verandas like this with such blue-green pictures. I didn't expect that in You can also encounter it in the houses here. This verandah must be modeled after the houses in the north."

Qingping smiled and said after hearing this: "Miss Xu is really amazing. All the verandas in this house were added later. I heard that it rained heavily in Hangzhou one year and it didn't stop for two months. Mr. Qian I found it inconvenient, so I built these verandas. Along these verandas, you can walk around the house!"

Miss Xu nodded with a smile~IndoMTL.com~ asked Qingping if she knew how to get to Meilin.

It can be seen that she has also heard of this house.

Qingping accompanied them to see Mei Lin.

There are about ten acres of plum grove. After the plum blossom season, the plum trees are all bare and not so pretty. But the small bridge, flowing water, and warm pavilion and bamboo forest next to it are quite pleasing to the eye.

Miss Xu said: "The scenery on both sides of the verandah is still beautiful. Flowers are blooming wall by wall, and trees are growing in patches. Not to mention broad and spacious, it is also very grand. It is not like ordinary gardens, which are very delicate. , there are Taihu stones everywhere, they are elegant, but after seeing too much, they feel a bit cramped."

Yu Tang smiled.

The two of them walked around the house for half an hour, but the verandah seemed to have no end in sight, and they didn't know where it was winding. Even Miss Xu was a little lost and asked Qingping: "Do you still remember the way back?"

Qingping smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, just call the maid on duty."

But they didn't meet many maids along the way.

Miss Xu curled her lips and said to Yu Tang: "Isn't it good that the house is big? Like our family, you can see your brothers and sisters at home when you go out. It's so lively."

Is that because the Pei family is not prosperous?

If Pei Yan had seven or eight brothers, would he still worry about the space in his house?

Yu Tang was thinking wildly and asked a passing maid to lead the way back to the courtyard where they lived.
