Delicate Flower

Chapter 154: Disharmony

When Yu Tang came back, he was sitting in Pei's sedan chair.

I don't know if it was because she was a guest of Hemingtang, the sedan chair walked smoothly and steadily, and arrived at Qingzhu Lane with almost no bumps.

Entering the door, she saw Wang Si was moving firewood toward the house.

She couldn't help wondering: "Why are you here?"

Wang Si smiled slyly at her. Before he could answer, Shuangtao who came out of the kitchen rushed to answer: "He is idle and has a lot of firewood, thinking that our house has to buy firewood, so he drove in. Cheng. Miss, come and take a look, the wood shed at home is full."

Yu Tang smiled and took a look, then went back to the room to change clothes, and went to greet the Chen family.

The Chen family was discussing the offering to the ancestors on the first day of October with Granny Chen. Seeing Yu Tang came in, he stopped the topic and asked Granny Chen to make a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus syrup for Yu Tang.

Granny Chen answered with a smile.

Chen took Yu Tang's hand and let her sit next to him, and asked her warmly: "Don't you just go and go back? Why did you come back so late? Lao An kept a meal?"

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, and talked about meeting Gu Xi and Mrs. Shen.

Chen was quite surprised, and said: "Mrs. Shen is here, your father was called out by Master Wu. When he comes back, I will ask him if I want to go and say hello to Mrs. Shen." She said to Gu. Xi was also very curious and asked, "Is that girl beautiful?"

"It's pretty." Yu Tang asked truthfully and honestly.

"Then you guys had lunch together?"

Yu Tang shook his head: "No. Mrs. Shen said that she was going back to pack things, so Lao An didn't keep them."

Unlike her, she said afterwards that she wanted to go back, but Lao An kept aside again and again. He also left the second wife for lunch and asked them to take the fifth lady.

Lao An's attitude towards Mrs. Shen seemed to be only face-saving.

Of course, the Chen family didn’t know the difference. He thought it was Mrs. Shen who insisted on leaving, so he didn’t ask much, but asked Yu Tang with concern: "Are you still at ease in Pei’s Mansion? If you are not at ease, I will find an excuse later Go ahead."

Although she intends to repay the Pei family, if her daughter is wronged, she would rather repay the Pei family in other ways.

Yu Tang felt her mother's warmth and couldn't help but hugged her arm, and said: "Don't worry, Lao An is a very good person. I have nothing uncomfortable with her old man."

Moreover, after Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi left, Lao An asked carefully about the land sale of the Li family.

Guessing from Lao An's demeanor, what Pei Yan didn't doubt, Lao An became suspicious.

When she left, Lao An called Hu Xing over, probably to ask about the Li family.

From this point of view, if she has anything to do in the future, it is better to find Lao An than to Pei Yan.

Yu Tang was beside her mother, drinking sweet-scented osmanthus syrup while listening to her and Granny Chen continuing to talk about ancestor worship.

Over there, Wang Si unloaded the firewood and came in to greet the Chen family, and he was about to return to the village.

Chen rewarded him with 20 copper plates, and asked him if he wanted to go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Si felt that the journey was too costly, and he was not ready to go back.

Chen asked him to come home for the New Year.

Wang Si was overjoyed, thanked and thanked, only then drove the car away.

The Chen family said to Granny Chen: "It's an honest person, and there is something in his eyes. The last time the master went back to the old house, he was the one who helped correct the account.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yu family began to collect rent.

In the past, I always asked the members of the Yu family for help, but everyone had a lot of things at home. If they said that they were helping, they could only help, and nothing could be done. The weighing, accounting, and accounting were either Yu Wen's hands or Yu Bo's hands. This time when Yu Wen returned to his hometown to collect rent, Wang Si was busy and didn't let Yu Wen go to the battle from beginning to end. Yu Wen was only responsible for keeping the accounts. When I came back, I still sighed with my family: "You said that Wang Si didn't even know a big Chinese character, but he was faster than me in calculating the account, and he was right."

Yu Tang also heard about it.

She smiled and said, "Ms. Chen doesn't know a lot of characters, but when you see her buying vegetables, she is the only one who takes advantage of others. Is anyone else taking advantage of her?"

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Chen is very proud.

When Chen's said this, Chen's wife winked at Chen's.

When Chen saw it, he coughed slightly and sent Yu Tang: "You go back to the house to rest, and later I will take you to your elder mother's house to stop by, and by the way, talk about the ancestor worship."

Since the Xiangshi was pregnant, Wang always served Xiangshi to eat and drink all day long, not even going to the shop, and visiting their home less often.

Yu Tang knew that Mrs. Chen was going to talk to her mother again.

The last time she eavesdropped on her, she was still young, and her mother was in bed all the year round. She was afraid that Yu Wen would have an idea, and persuaded her mother to buy a maid for her father to come back to work as a general house.

This time she pretended to go out, but hid under her mother's window to eavesdrop.

This time, Po Chen persuaded her mother to betroth Shuangtao to Wang Si, and said: "Anyway, our family is going to hire a son-in-law, and Shuangtao has reached the age to be out of the cabinet. It was originally the best match for A Tiao, but A Tiao is too young I'm a little younger, and Shuangtao can't tell him to go with him on weekdays. I can't as well leave Wang Si behind."

Chen thought thoughtfully.

Yu Tang ran back in a hurry, and took a chance to ask Shuang Tao, "What do you think of Wang Si?"

Shuang Tao may have misunderstood that Yu Tang was asking about Wang Si's character, and considered whether to keep Wang Si, and helped Wang Si to say a lot of good things. However, even so, it can be seen that Shuangtao has a very good impression of Wang Si, but I don't know if Wang Si can stay with ease?

Yu Tang pursed his mouth and smiled, and then went to his uncle's house with Chen.

Xiangshi had already shown his arms and was drinking chicken soup there with a bitter expression. Seeing Yu Tang coming in, he seemed to grab a life-saving straw, and hurriedly told Xialian: "Quickly, go and bring the chicken soup to the lady and bring a big bowl."

Xia Lian's face was tangled.

Yu Tang hurriedly said, "I don't drink chicken soup. Just make me a cup of tea and come over."

Xiangshi urged her: "The weather is cold, it's just right to drink a bowl of chicken soup."

Yu Tang said, "I don't drink it! If Auntie can't drink anymore, let my brother help. I don't want to be scolded by my eldest mother."

"It won't, it won't." Xiangshi confessed.

Yu Tang laughed and talked about Xia Lian and Xia Pinggui quietly with Xiangshi.

Xiangshi was very surprised, Xia Lian stared at her from time to time when she was refreshing the tea, until Xia Lian felt that there was something dirty on her face, Xiangshi let Xia Lian go. Then he whispered to Yu Tang: "I saw it was pretty good. It just so happens that your brother wants to expand the shop, and Xia Pinggui is sitting in the shop. Both your brother and your uncle are most at ease."

Yu Tang also felt that they were suitable, and wondered in his heart, if it can be done, will their family have two happy events next year!

When she and her mother returned home, they ran into Yu Wen at the door.

It was so cold that he stomped his feet with cold.

Chen said distressedly: "Where did you go? Didn't you hire a sedan chair to come back?"

Yu Wen sighed and said: "Don't you want to sacrifice to the ancestors? Master Wu took me to fix a pig. I met Mr. Shen on the way. He was drinking in a small wine shop on the side of the road. I looked at him like that was not right. , But Master Wu insisted on going forward to say hello to Mr. Shen. As a result, we were both left in the small wine shop to drink. You also know how much I drink. Where can I drink more. Master Wu is not drunk for a thousand cups. The two drank a match, and I was there to pour wine for both of them. When the two of them drank almost, Master Wu returned home by his entourage, but I had to send Mr. Shen back to the county school. However, I met Xiaochuan at the county school. I heard from the gentleman in the county school that Xiaochuan studied very hard, and it would be no problem to take the exam for a talented person. If this is the case, the Wei family will be able to stand up."

The Wei family has so many sons and so many land, and the life is still tight. The most important reason is that they pay too much tax. If Wei Xiaochuan could pass the exam, he would be exempted from part of the Wei family's taxes, which is a lot of money for the Wei family.

Chen nodded straight and said, "Did Mr. Shen drink in the small wine shop alone?" He said, he glanced at Yu Tang, as if asking Yu Tang, "Isn't Mrs. Shen here?"

Yu Tang also pricked his ears to listen.

Yu Wen obviously didn’t know about it, and said, “I said it’s in a bad mood. I didn’t have the class today. I asked another gentleman to speak on his behalf. Mr. Shen was also very pitiful. When I drove him back, he was in the house. Quite and cold, just a ignorant little boy was taking a nap there, asking him to help make a bowl of sober tea without knowing where to start. It is a pity that Mr. Shen is so knowledgeable!"

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount of learning, right?

Yu Tang wondered in his heart.

Chen clearly thought about it, she frowned and said: "I heard Atang say that Mrs. Shen is here, and Mrs. Shen didn't leave anyone to serve Mr. Shen?"

Yu Wen was surprised and said: "Mrs. Shen is here? When did it happen? Why didn't Mr. Shen mention a word?"

Chen hesitated: "I wanted to discuss with you whether I should visit Mrs. Shen or not. After listening to you, I don't know what to do?"

Yu Wen groaned: "I'll go and inquire first before talking."

Chen's promise.

Two days later, Yu Wenlai and Chen discussed about Mrs. Shen, and Yu Tang listened by the side.

"It is reasonable to say that Mrs. Shen is a rare visit, and we have received the favor of Mr. Shen. Even if Mrs. Shen cannot be invited to be a guest at home, we should visit Mrs. Shen." He embarrassed, "Listen to Shen Fang. It is said that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen have been at odds since they were married, so they have only one only child. Mrs. Shen came to Lin'an and lived with the Lao An of Pei Mansion. As for Mr. Shen, he did not reveal anything to the people around him. "

Whether to visit Mrs. Shen or not becomes very difficult.

In the previous life, Yu Tang had never heard of Mr. Shen, so he had no idea. But she thought for a while, and gave her parents an idea: "Or, we don't know. At that time, Lao An didn't introduce whose girl I am, and Mr. Shen didn't reveal a word to you, so let's not go too far. Good."

Yu Wen thought for a while, felt that Yu Tang's method was feasible, and said: "Anyway, our family has no contact with Shen's family members. I don't know if Mrs. Shen is here, it makes sense."

Even if this incident ended with Yu Wen, it aroused great interest from the Chen family. She quietly ran to Master Wu's house and asked Mrs. Wu if she knew Mrs. Shen was here in Lin'an.
