Delicate Flower Chapter 99: Doubtful


Yu Yuan was afraid that Yu Tang would overact and anger Nurse Gu Xi, but would fail to achieve his goal. He pulled Yu Tang's sleeves and pretended to scold her: "You said you have such a bad temper. Wait, how dare I take you out again in the future? If you have anything to say, sit down and talk about it. Everyone is looking at us! You are not afraid of being watched, but I am!"

He thought he could delay it as much as possible and say a few more things about the Li family in front of Gu San and his son.

Yu Tang knew Gu San's mother and son relatively well, and felt that his words were enough to make the mother and son suspicious, so they went to investigate the Li family's affairs. Now that her goal was achieved, she had no intention of having any further entanglements with the Gu family and her son. She had already paid for the two bowls of noodles and could not waste them. Hurry up and finish your meal and leave.

She sat down.

Yu Yuan's face brightened, and he said hurriedly: "That's right. The noodles are almost burnt, let's eat the noodles first!" After saying that, he apologized to Gu Xi and Kong Niang: "Don't be angry, I'm Amei, everything is good, but her temper is a bit short-tempered. However, you can’t blame him entirely.” At this point, he began to complain to Gu San, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were from the Gu family? If I had known this, I wouldn’t have I won’t invite you to eat noodles together.”

Gu San stood up from Yu Tang, his mind already spinning several times. He still couldn't tell whether the Yu Yuan brothers and sisters met him accidentally or waited for him here intentionally, but no matter it was the former or the latter, what they said about the Li family made him feel a little cold.

His mother is the eldest lady's wet nurse. Their family's fate has been linked to the eldest lady from the beginning. The eldest young master did not agree to the eldest daughter's marriage, but he could not resist the eldest man's soft-spoken attitude. He was moved by the wife who wanted to continue the marriage after several times. He wanted to compete with the eldest wife, and he wanted to give it to the three members of the family. The young master found a helper and took a fancy to the young member of the Li family, so he forcefully arranged the marriage for the eldest lady.

If what the Yu family brothers and sisters said is true, then it is possible that the eldest young lady’s uncle’s family is just as the eldest young master said at the beginning. The family has too little foundation and no foundation. I am afraid there are no rules.

It is impossible to cancel the engagement, but the eldest lady’s life is over!

Gu San was so anxious that he couldn't eat any bamboo shoots and noodles. He just wanted to ask someone to find out what happened to the Li family so that he could go back and report it to the eldest young master, so that the eldest young master and the others could see what happened. What should I do about the young lady’s engagement?

"Mom!" He who had never spoken a word winked at his mother and signaled her not to use her verbal power with Miss Yu's family now. Then he smiled apologetically at Yu Yuan and said, "Yu Yuan Brother, I saw that you and Yao Saner have been friends since childhood. I thought he told you about my identity and you misunderstood. It was my fault. Listening to your words, it seems that your Yu family and our eldest uncle’s family What grudges are there? However, as Miss Yu said, after all, my mother-in-law and I are just slaves. We can’t say anything about the boss’s affairs, so I ask your forgiveness. As for this same table, Yu Miss, I will rush to the shop to help after lunch. Just treat it like sharing a table with a stranger, and we will leave immediately after eating."

As expected of Gu Xi's right-hand man, his words are impeccable and comprehensive.

Yu Tang has no intention of being unyielding.

She nodded and sat down to eat noodles.

The noodles of this restaurant are indeed well-deserved. Even if she is not in the mood, she takes a sip of the soup and the delicious taste immediately whets her appetite. The noodles are even more chewy, making Yu Tang involuntarily concentrate on eating the noodles.

Nanny Gu Xi’s mood was very complicated.

The Gu family is one of the most prominent families in Hangzhou, but with many houses, there are also many contradictions. Even if the Yu family brothers and sisters have a grudge against the Li family and want to ruin the marriage between their eldest daughter and the Li family, they can't completely spread rumors and cause trouble. Although there are not many people who come to eat noodles in this small noodle shop, ten out of ten people come to patronize it. Eight and nine are both natives of Hangzhou, and the Yu family's words will soon spread. If the Li family is really as miserable as the Yu family said, then wouldn't the marriage of their eldest daughter become a scandal in Hangzhou city? The laughing stock, the eldest young master will be laughed at for ten or twenty years?

There is also the step-wife in the family. She always dislikes the eldest young man because of his ability. If she can't find the eldest young master, why don't she try to challenge the eldest lady? Who doesn't know how to take care of the family? If the Li family is really inappropriate, where can the eldest young master of their family put his face?

She couldn't sit still. After two bites of noodles, she couldn't eat anymore. When her son's noodles were on the table, she winked at him frequently, signaling him to finish eating quickly and leave.

Gu San calmed down.

Now that the matter has come to this, instead of running away and letting the people in Hangzhou laugh, it is better to get more information from the Yu family brothers and sisters.

He ate a few mouthfuls of noodles and felt that his stomach was 50% full. Yu Yuan had almost eaten, and then he said: "Brother Yu, what happened to the Li family? Can you tell me?" Tell me. I know you are not someone who likes to talk, but you also know the relationship between the Li family and our family. I am worried about the eldest daughter in our family. My mother is the eldest daughter’s wet nurse. If the eldest daughter gets married, I will Mom will definitely accompany the eldest lady to Lin'an City, and I will also go there to serve. Because of this, the eldest young master arranged for me to be an apprentice in various shops. Even for myself, I have to ask. Please Brother Yu will not hesitate to tell you, I would like to thank Brother Yu here first." After saying that, he stood up and was about to salute Yu Yuan.

The commotion caused by Yu Tang just calmed down, and Gu San took the initiative to ask about the Li family. Yu Yuan didn’t want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly sat him down on the stool and whispered: "Brother Gu, hurry up Don't be like this, let's talk it out if you have anything to say." After saying that, he looked around as if he was afraid of something.

Of course Gu San doesn't want the matter to get too big.

He sat down again and raised his hands towards Yu Yuan: "Brother Yu!"

Yu Yuan sighed, concealed the matter about the map, and quietly told Gu San and his son all the things that Mrs. Li had done because of her failed attempt to marry Yu Tang, including Wei Xiaoshan.

The more they listened, the uglier their expressions became. When they heard that the Yu family had invited Pei Yan to be the intermediary, they both gasped, and Nurse Gu Xi exclaimed in a low voice: "So, Master Pei also knows about this?"

Looking like that, he seemed a little worried about Pei Yan.

Yu Yuan's heart moved, and he glanced at Yu Tang quickly and said, "I know! Not only Master Pei San knows about it, but everyone in Lin'an City who has some respect also knows about it."

Nanny Gu Xi’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Yu Tang rolled his eyes, snorted intentionally, and said: "Now you know we are not just talking nonsense! If you still don't believe it, you can ask Mr. Pei San."

Nanny Gu Xi said nothing.

Gu San's smile seemed a little forced. He stood up and helped his mother, saying: "Brother Yu, when I get to work, I will leave first. I will invite you to tea when I have the opportunity."

Yu Yuan stood up to see her off and said in a fake tone: "Brother Gu, my sister has a straight temper. If there is anything offensive in her words, please don't take it to heart."

"How could it be!" Gu San said humbly.

The two exchanged pleasantries and dispersed.

Yu Yuan looked at the backs of Gu San, mother and son, took a long breath, and said to Yu Tang in a cheerful tone: "Oh, I'm so lucky today. I finally solved this matter. Otherwise, you let me do it in front of you. I really can’t say bad things about the Li family in front of other people.”

Yu Tang smiled understandingly and said: "When it comes to luck, it is also my brother's good luck. If you hadn't taken pity on me and brought me to eat noodles, how could we have met Gu San's mother and son? How could we be like this? Did you successfully talk to the mother and son? Thank you so much, brother!"

Yu Yuan blushed and was embarrassed to say this again, so he changed the subject and said, "Then what are we going to do later? Should we return to Lin'an in advance?"

They originally planned to rest here for two days and two nights and go back tomorrow.

Yu Tang thought for a while and said: "How about we go back early tomorrow morning! In the remaining time, we can walk around Hangzhou City and see how other people's shops are decorated? How do the waiters greet customers? What? What kind of business is the best? And what kind of patterned utensils do those porcelain shops, tin shops, etc. sell... What do you think?"

"Okay!" Yu Yuan smiled briskly, "Our most important thing is done, and everything else is easy to talk about."

Yu Tang nodded.

The two brothers and sisters went shopping happily.

Gu San and her son whispered for a long time behind the Gu family's satin shop before they separated. Gu San patted her cheeks to make herself look less depressed before entering the shop, while Gu Xi's wet nurse remained calm all the way. His face turned back to Gu Mansion.

Before dawn the next day, someone came out of the back door of Gu's mansion and boarded the boat to Lin'an City.

Brother and sister Yu Tang are also on this boat. ~IndoMTL.com~ The two of them found a corner to sit down as they had come, and whispered about what they had experienced in Hangzhou during the past two days. Yu Tang also took the opportunity to encourage Yu Yuan to take over the Yu Family Lacquerware Shop: "I'm not I want you to disobey your uncle. I think it is better to leave the shop to death than to live and die. If the uncle is willing to hand over the shop to you, let him take care of it. Our family’s farm and forests. If uncle insists on running the shop by himself, you might as well run the family’s farm and mountains. When there is income from the farm and mountains, uncle will know that you are capable, and what you say will naturally be heard in our family. It has weight, and when you discuss with your uncle how to run the shop, your opinion will be carefully considered."

In this way, there is no need for conflict between the eldest uncle and the eldest cousin and the father and son, and the eldest uncle can slowly hand over the shop.

Yu Yuan was thoughtful.

Yu Tang continued: "I thought the same thing as you before. The shop at home is still managed by my uncle, and you go to Hangzhou City to do business. But after I followed you around Hangzhou City in the past two days, I found that every shop that can get a foothold here has its own little tricks. This is not something that can be solved by money. Doesn’t it say in the book? Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies? We can’t be anxious, we have to take our time. Picture it."

Yu Yuandao: "Is it like you?"

Yu Wen used to never ask Yu Tang for his opinion when doing things, but now he always asks Yu Tang for his opinion when something happens. If Yu Tang objects, he will probably give up. Even his father, if he heard that this was Yu Tang's intention, he would think about it carefully.
