Delicate Flower

Chapter 103: New Year

On the 30th of the New Year, the ancestors were sacrificed. On the first day of the new year, Yu Wen and Yu Bo took Yu Yuan to pay a New Year greeting to Pei's family.

More than half of the people in Lin'an will go to Pei's New Year greetings. If everyone in the Pei's family sees them, they will be frothy at the mouth. Therefore, the so-called New Year greetings to Pei's family are nothing more than writing a famous post and throwing it in the big red book basket at the door of Pei's house. Afterwards, there will be a steward registration and a report to the Sovereign of the Pei family.

Yu Wen, Yu Bo, and Yu Yuan soon squeezed out of the crowded Pei’s gate, and then went to pay New Year greetings to other squire’s houses.

A book basket was also set up at the gate of the Yu family. People who have friendships with the Yu family and those scholars who come to pay a New Year’s greetings are also inaccessible. They only put famous posts in the book basket, and even some do not need to come by themselves and send them to their homes. The little servant or the steward can just come over.

Yu Tang, together with the Chen family and Wang family, prepares gifts for Yu Yuan to visit the relatives' family for New Year's greetings tomorrow.

Because it was the Chinese New Year, most of the passenger ships stopped. The Xiang family was in Fuyang, and Yu Yuan could not go back and forth on the same day. He had to stay with the Xiang family for one day.

Yu Tang packed his carefully made head flower in his own small red box, put it in Yu Yuan’s baggage, and instructed Wang: "Auntie, don’t forget to tell your brother, lest he Think of this flower as a gift to the mate."

Wang originally liked Yu Tang, not to mention that now Yu Tang is planning everything for Yu Yuan, and she seems to like it even more.

"I see." She couldn't help squeezing Yu Tang's pink face and smiled, "Don't worry, when your sister-in-law enters the door, I will let her make shoes for you."

Yu Tang chuckled, jokingly: "Don't worry, when my sister-in-law adds a fat nephew to me, I will make clothes for my nephew."

"This little girl!" Wang Clan smiled and hit Yu Tang's hand, turned his head to the Chen Clan who was busy filling Yu Yuan with maltose, "I don't know when I learned so eloquently, we are not afraid of getting along with something in the future. Others have theories."

Chen gave a glance at Yu Tang with a conniving smile, and said: "Auntie is used to her, she is less and less aware of convergence."

"Greater, better!" Wang Clan released Yu Tang, put the prepared things into the basket together with Chen Clan, and instructed Miki to call Xia Pinggui.

Miki is the little servant whom Yu Bo bought for Yu Yuan a year ago. Because this little servant had just arrived at Yu's house, he had not had time to teach him the rules, this time Yu Yuan went to the ancestor's house, and Yu Bo let Xia Pinggui go with him, and there was someone who could help him with anything.

Miki is an honest and smart boy who was only twelve years old after the first year. He immediately responded with a naive response and ran away in a hurry.

Chen looked a little worried, and said, "It doesn't matter if this child follows, right? Ayuan is the first time to go to Yue's house. Don't delay anything because of the child's inefficiency."

Wang sighed: "Choose to choose, and only this one is the best. At that time, I have to let Ah Tiao take care of him more."

The Xiang family Lao An and the Xiang master didn't say anything about this marriage, but the three aunts and six wives of the Xiang family felt that Miss Xiang was married low, and did not look at the Yu family very much.

The Yu family may not care about these in-laws, but they are afraid of being wronged by Miss Xiang. They are afraid that when Yu Yuan leaves, there will be no close servants by his side. Yu Wen is the master and let A Tiao also follow him to Fuyang.

The concubines said a few more words and asked the literate Yu Tang to help see if there were any mistakes or omissions on the gift list. Miki suddenly folded back and stammered: "Mrs. Mansion, the third chief of Pei Mansion has come to hand over the name post to our house."

Wang and Chen looked at each other and hurriedly led Yu Tang to greet them.

One is that Hu Xing often brings Yu Yu doctor to Chen's pulse these days. He sees more often, and his friendship with Hu Xing is not normal. Erze Hu Xing is the third manager of the Pei family, representing the face of the Pei family. He came to pay the New Year to the Yu family, and the Yu family should invite him in for a cup of tea anyway, just be polite.

I just don't know if Hu Xing is here on behalf of Pei Mansion or only on his own?

Yu Tang wondered in his heart, and followed his mother and aunt to the gate.

Hu Xing wore a dark red silk robe with a squirrel fur collar and was beaming. He saw Wang and the others hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It was the third master who asked me to come over. The eldest wife, the second wife. , Happy New Year!" After speaking, I looked up and saw Yu Tang standing behind Wang and Chen, and worshipped Yu Tang for another year.

It is a very faceless thing to actually send a three-man who has a good face in the family to pay a New Year greeting to the Yu family.

Wang led Chen and Yu Tang to return the gift to Hu Xing.

Hu Xing said: "I have a few more to go to pay New Year's visits, so I won't greet you anymore. When I am free, I will visit Master Yu again."

Chen repeatedly said "Don't dare", and wanted to send Hu Xing out of Qingzhu Alley.

Hu Xing smiled and said, "You folks from the village, don't be polite with me. The weather is so cold, you should go back to your house and rest soon! If this is a shortcoming, how am I embarrassed to see Master Yu."

He insisted on not letting Chen give him away. Seeing that he was sincere, Chen did not be polite with him, pretended to make some maltose made by himself and sent him to the gate. When Hu Xing left, the Wang family couldn't help but say to Chen family: "I saw Manager Hu down when the shop opened last time. Why is he looking elated again at this time?"

"I'm afraid it's something good, right?" Chen guessed with a smile, "Manager Hu is quite a good person, he should be unhappy at the moment!"

Although they are familiar with Hu Xing, those things are Hu Xing's own business after all. After a few discussions, the two of them put the matter behind their heads, worrying about Yu Yuan's going to the family.

Hu Xing's face collapsed as soon as he came out of Qingzhu Lane.

After he made his own claim last time, Pei Yan left him aside, as if he didn't have the third manager. Those in charge of the family were all human beings, and they soon isolated him. If it were not for the Yang Yu doctor who didn’t know about the Pei’s family, he thought that after he had invited his wife and Mrs. Yu for the Ping An pulse, and then came to Lin’an, after the second dragon raised his head on the first day of February, he sent the young man next to him to contact directly. He, let him talk to Mrs. Da and Mrs. Yu. If he hadn't been brave enough to report to Pei Yan, and watched Pei Man not knowing what he was doing these days, he racked his brains to take advantage of this errand, I'm afraid he would have been beaten by Pei Yan into the cold palace. , Just wait for one day to be driven out of Pei’s mansion and go to the old farm in which corner of the corner.

However, what is the relationship between the third master and the Yu family?

If it’s just an ordinary neighbor, Miss Yu’s family can see the third master at any time. If there is something unusual, the third master doesn’t seem to take the Yu family’s affairs to his heart. When someone mentions it, she’ll remember it, no When people mention it, they forget it.

Just like this New Year's greetings, if it wasn't for Yu Doctor Yang who had something to tell Mrs. Yu in advance, he caught up with Pei Man and was very busy, and he would not have his turn to deliver the post to the Yu family.

Should he go to Yu's family?

For the first time, Hu Xing, who claims to be all-sided and exquisite, is uncertain.

On Yu Tang's side, naturally, he didn't know that a greeting card would give Hu Xing a lot of thoughts. Yuyuan went to Fuyang in the second grade and came back from the fourth grade. The two of them sat around the table nervously and asked Yu Yuan about the situation of this visit to the xiangjia, but Yu Yuan first blinked at Yu Tang, and then said, "Although Mrs. Xiang doesn't like Miss Xiang, she can't tolerate others. Watching her jokes behind me. This time I went to the photo's house. There were too many photos to maintain, and she didn't make any excessive demands, and no one took me lightly."

Yu Wen and others were relieved.

Yu Tang knew that Yu Yuan had something to tell her, and found a chance to meet Yu Yuan alone in the teahouse.

Yu Yuan asked Miki to guard the door of the tea house, and whispered to Yu Tang: "It turns out that Mrs. Xiang and Miss Gu's aunt are close friends in the boudoir. I accidentally heard the person next to Mrs. Xiang say that Miss Gu made a big noise during the Chinese New Year. During one event, Mr. Gu became mad, and he thanked the guests behind closed doors on the first day of the new year. The grandfather of the long room came to entertain all the entertainment at home. Would you say, will the marriage of the Li family fail because of this? "

Yu Tang smiled happily and said: "Whether he fails or not, the Gu family is uneasy, and the Li family don't want to have a good life." At this point, she gloated and asked Yu Yuan, "Brother, do you want us? Send someone to stare at the Li family? It would be even more interesting if something happens during the Chinese New Year!"

Yu Yuan nodded again and again, and said: "I will let Miki stare at it, just in time for him to practice his hands."

"Let Ah Liu go!" Yu Tang said, "We can't be so obvious!"

The siblings looked at each other and laughed, and Yu Yuan went to arrange the matter not to be mentioned.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, the whole family went to visit the Wei family. On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Yu Tang made a special trip to see Ma Xiuniang, and made an appointment to see the lantern together the next day. But I didn't expect to return home but found that the door was closed, there was no New Year's excitement.

She was shocked, and hurriedly asked Shuangtao to knock on the door.

Miki's timid voice came from inside the door: "Who, who?"

"Miss is back." Shuang Tao said in a loud voice.

The door opened with a "creak", Miki shouted "Miss" with a frustrated expression, and turned sideways to let them in.

Shuangtao asked: "What happened?"

Sanmu looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, he pulled Shuangtao in, and said to Yu Tang fearfully: "Miss, the second master has gone to the shopkeeper Tong, not at home. Just now, Mrs. Li came to the house to make trouble and was caught. The wife closed the door. She said a lot of unpleasant things across the door. Seeing that the second wife was angry, she was going to the judge of the Li family's house, and she left."

Yu Tang's face sank, he walked quickly to Chen's inner room, and asked Miki: "Have you ever gone to report to my dad?"

"Go!" Miki hurried after Yu Tang, "A Shao has already gone to see the second master."

"Then my mother?" Yu Tang asked.

"Ms. Chen went to find the elder wife." Sanmu said, "The eldest wife is speaking with the second wife!"

Yu Tang felt a little peaceful, lifted the cotton curtain in Chen's inner room and walked in.

"Mummum!" She shouted, seeing Chen and Wang sitting opposite each other, with smiles on their faces, she couldn't help but froze there.

"Atang is back!" Wang smiled and beckoned to Yu Tang, "Come here and sit down!" Then asked her carefully, "Are you hungry? Would you like Shuangtao to make a bowl of sesame paste for you?"

Yu Tang looked at the Chen family and then at the Wang family, and said in confusion, "Didn't you say that Mrs. Li came to make trouble?"

Why are her mother and her elder aunt all smiling?

What happened that she didn't know?
