Delicate Flower Chapter 342: Everyone


Pei Yan insisted on following his assignment.

He said to his second wife: "After all, I am an official who has become an official. I only came to the capital to visit my mentor. I came in and out with my second brother at the same time. This makes people wary. They thought I wanted to become an official again. I am not interested in my second wife. My career is not good."

There is a relative avoidance system in officialdom.

Pei Xuan thought for a while and didn't force Pei Yan anymore.

This is how things at home were arranged.

Yu Tang asked Pei Yan: "Then let's eat in three places!"

Pei Yan nodded and said: "Let's eat in three places for now. If the second sister-in-law needs your help or A Tong's place is too busy, let's talk about it later."

Anyway, his wife can't go out and do things for those people. Even if she wants to do things, she has to let them know her gratitude.

Yu Tang didn't think much about it. She just felt that she was uncomfortable with asking her to take care of the affairs in Gu Xi's house. This arrangement was just right. She could also take good care of Pei Yan's food, clothing, housing and transportation. .

When she was in Lin'an, he took care of her and protected her from wind and rain.

She asked him what he was going to do tomorrow at night.

Pei Yan was leaning on the bedside, holding an unknown book in his hand and flipping through it. Hearing this, he lazily moved his eyes from the book to Yu Tang and said with a smile: "What do you want to do? Want to go out for a walk?"

Yu Tang secretly let out a "poof", thinking about this guy who couldn't speak properly when he was in a good mood.

She simply dropped her previous question and said, "Why are you in such a good mood today?"

He can't be so happy just because he shares a house.

Pei Yan did not answer, but asked her: "Why did you think of asking about my whereabouts today?"

He went to see Zhang Ying as soon as he returned to the capital, and he went alone. He did not bring Yu Tang with him, and he did not meet any of the female members of the Zhang family.

Yu Tang sat over and smeared the ointment on his hands while saying: "The weather in Beijing is too dry. I have only been here for a few days, and you see, the corners of my mouth are blistered. I thought about it. I’ll make some soup for you.”

Pei Yan took advantage of the situation and moved forward. He said, "Let's see how big the bubbles are." However, he placed his hands on Yu Tang's waist, hugged Yu Tang in his arms, and kissed her fiercely. ……

Yu Tang didn't ask Pei Yan about his preferences, but he was so tormented that he didn't get up until midnight. When he got up, he was still cursing Pei Yan in his heart, thinking that it wasn't that she didn't serve him, but that he didn't want her to serve him. He dared to complain to her, saying that he hadn't had a sip of her water since she married him, and she just stuck the sole of her shoe on Pei Yan's face.

It must be interesting to think about that scene.

Yu Tang laughed to himself.

Qing Yuan and others pretended not to see it.

Ever since Pei Yan and Yu Tang got married, the two of them often laughed out of nowhere, and they were used to it.

After having breakfast, Yu Tang called the housekeeper in the house over, talking about Gu Xi's affairs, and asked her to pass on a message: "If she needs anything, just ask her to come to you. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. can be provided with a quarter of the second master’s silver.”

Although the three families have their own affairs, the money in the Inner Courtyard is in Yu Tang's hands.

After Gu Xi got the words, he was stunned for a long time and asked the grandmother who came to deliver the message: "Are the mansions in the capital always like this?"

The grandma in charge is a little confused.

Gu Xi explained: "Isn't the money in each room managed by the stewards?"

After hearing this, the nanny in charge hurriedly explained: "The money in each house is indeed managed by the stewards. That was the rule when Lao An was in charge - if Lao An didn't like taking care of the accounts, he would throw away the accounts. It was given to the stewards. Now that the third master is in charge of the house, he has taken back the power. The steward of the outer courtyard is responsible for allocating the money, and the third wife is in charge of the money." Having said this, the grandma in charge hesitated for a moment, quite a bit. He said to Gu Xi sincerely, "I heard from the accountant that the third master only told Rang to transfer the money to the third wife, but did not tell the accountant to reconcile the accounts with the third wife."

In other words, the accounting clerk in the outer courtyard only gives the money to Yu Tang. As for how Yu Tang uses it, that is her business, and she does not even have to explain it to the accounting clerk in the outer courtyard.

Gu Xi's heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "What do you mean, mama?"

The grandma in charge did not beat around the bush and said bluntly: "The eldest master has been kind to our family, and I can only repay him with these few words. What I mean is, no matter how much the third wife dials The money is given to you, so don’t worry about it.”

Because it’s useless to care.

This is a mess.

Gu Xi understood immediately. She did not expect that there were people from the eldest master in the palace in the capital, so she hurriedly thanked him respectfully.

The nanny waved her hand, smiled bitterly and left where Gu Xi lived.

Gu Xi drank tea and pondered this matter in her mind.

No matter how you look at it, this nanny has good intentions, but she doesn't understand. Pei Yan is a very capable person. How could he let someone like this nanny go? Is it a fish that slipped through the net? Or is this nanny hiding it too deeply? Or, what other intentions does this nanny have?

While she was thinking, Hexiang walked in with her sleeves rolled up and said to her: "The woman on the stove here cooks very well. Do you think we should hire a cook ourselves?"

Gu Xi is very satisfied with the place where she lives now. It can be regarded as a courtyard within a courtyard. She mused: "It's better to use it first! Wait until I get familiar with everything here. It's better to just move. Be quiet."

Hexiang nodded and said with a smile: "Everything is sorted out, do you want to go take a look?"

Gu Xi was still very relieved when she was doing things. She smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go and say hello to my third aunt. I'm going to visit my sister-in-law. Since we live in the same courtyard, Here, it’s better to go and say something.”

By the way, I went to ask her for the monthly statistics of this month's official monthly account, to see if Yu Tang would deduct money from her and how much money he could give her.

He Xiang accepted the promise, served Gu Xi, changed some clothes, and went to Yu Tang's place.

They did not expect to meet Xu Xuan here.

She was leaning on the beauty couch under the tree with her big belly, eating apples and talking to Yu Tang about the chefs in the capital: "I suggest you bring one over from Jiangnan. The chefs here are good at cooking. They all turned into Shandong cuisine. But they still think it tastes good. As long as you say you want a good cook, the one they recommend to you will definitely be one who cooks Shandong cuisine, which will make you dumbfounded."

Yu Tang is still as attentive to Xu Xuan as before. She is already the head mistress of Pei Mansion, and she is still handing Xu Xuan a hot handkerchief.

Gu Xi curled her lips and noticed that there was a girl with an extremely outstanding temperament sitting next to Xu Xuan.

Feeling someone was looking at her, the girl raised her head, smiled at Gu Xi and nodded, then whispered to Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan looked at her with sharp and cold eyes.

Gu Xi was stunned.

She blinked and looked over again. Xu Xuan's eyes were gentle and clear, as if the chill at that moment was all an illusion.

Gu Xi calmed down.

Maybe I saw it wrong.

As she was thinking, she saw Xu Xuan waving towards her and said loudly: "I wanted to see you later, but I didn't expect you to come over first. Have you been to Yang's house? I went there a few days ago When the Li family was drinking full-moon wine, they met Mrs. Yang. She didn't say anything to me, so I thought you didn't follow her to Beijing."

Gu Xi knew that Xu Xuan disliked her when she was in Lin'an. Xu Xuan definitely had nothing nice to say when she met her, but she didn't expect that when she came to see Yu Tang, she bumped into Xu Xuan. She thought to herself, "Unlucky." But with a smile on his lips, he said: "I have been busy cleaning up the house these days, and I haven't had time to go to my uncle's house. You met my aunt, how is she? Is she feeling well?"

Xu Xuan exchanged a few words with her and introduced the woman next to her: "This is the eldest lady of the Zhang family."

Gu Xi and the eldest lady of the Zhang family met and everyone sat down again.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Xu Xuan became a little impatient and asked Gu Xi, "When will you go to your sister-in-law's place? Help me bring something to her then."

Everyone lives in the capital, why should she bring something to the Yin family?

Gu Xi smiled and said: "My sister-in-law arrived in the capital a few days ago. What? You haven't gone to my sister-in-law's place yet? You want me to bring something to my sister-in-law? Okay! I'm going to go there tomorrow. .Shall I send someone to pick it up from your house tonight?"

Xu Xuan asked: "When will you go there tomorrow?"

When visiting someone else’s house, it’s not that early. Maybe I’ll go have lunch around 4:00 a.m., or I’ll go have supper around noon. Mrs. Yin was Gu Xi's biological sister-in-law. When she left the government, Mrs. Yin even used part of her dowry to supplement her. She must have more exchanges with her sister-in-law, and the time passed.

But Xu Xuan looked like she was trying to embarrass her, so Gu Xi didn't mind fighting back.

"I'll be there tomorrow morning." She said with a smile, "I'm going to stay there all day."

If you have something that someone brought over, please send someone to deliver it yourself.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xuan smiled and said: "That's great. That's it. I'll come over early tomorrow morning."

Not only Gu Xi, but also Yu Tang and Miss Zhang were also quite surprised. ~IndoMTL.com~ Xu Xuan's eyes flashed with pride, and she said: "I have already agreed with Yin Mingyuan that when he goes to the Yamen, he will send me to you. In this way, I can also tell you some things about the capital. Gonzo, you can also stay with me more. Otherwise, when the Jiang family takes a wife, your eyes will be darkened and you will know nothing."

Everyone was stunned.

Gu Xi said, "The Jiang family is marrying a daughter-in-law? Is it Jiang, a bachelor of Dongge University and Minister of Industry? Who in their family is marrying a daughter-in-law?"

She didn't get the invitation.

Xu Xuan said: "The youngest son in their family. He is ten years old this year and married to the daughter of the prefect of Shanyin. Mr. Jiang and his in-laws are the same age, and it is said that they have a very good relationship."

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married children and married people.

Yu Tang was thinking about the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family and the eldest lady of the Wu family.

Gu Xi was worried about whether he would be able to get an invitation by then.

As for Xu Xuan, after the stabbing, Gu Xi felt very comfortable and said to Miss Zhang: "Speaking of which, the third wife and we are not outsiders. When you have nothing to do, you can come and visit more often. She has just arrived in the capital, right? I’m not familiar with many places in the capital. They want to buy some hostas for their house tomorrow, and it’s the flower farmer I introduced.”

After receiving the advice from the elders of the Zhang family, Miss Zhang naturally wanted to speak with Yu Tang in her arms. She wondered: "How did the third wife think of hostas? There are quite a lot of them. Do you need any other flowers? Although our family has familiar flower farmers in Fengtai, they are not as good as those of the Yin family - my cousin has been growing flowers since he was a child. He likes to grow flowers, and all flower lovers in the capital know that. As long as he says that he wants to buy flowers from his cousin's house, no one dares to neglect him, for fear of being complained about in his "Fragrance Spectrum"."
