Lao An laughed when he heard this.

Ordinary people will probably have such considerations.

The Yu family are all honest people.

"It's because I didn't think about it well." Lao An said, "It's cold on the mountain. After a few days, I will go home too."

Sure enough, Lao An didn't go up the mountain for no reason.

It's just that it's not her business, and she's not easy to inquire.

Lao An talked to Yu Tang about the land sale of the Li family: "How did you think that the Li family did it deliberately?"

Yu Tang can’t say that she knew the Li family’s family background because of her previous life experience, so she had to say: "I know that Mrs. Li’s family is a big merchant in Fujian, and I have never heard that the Lin family has fallen into disarray!"

The implication is that, given the relationship between the Li family and the Lin family, the Li family is really short of money, how can the Lin family sit idly by!

Lao An nodded, and was about to say something, a little maid came in and said that the second wife was coming with the fifth lady.

"Hurry up and let them in." Lao An listened, with smiles in his eyes, obviously like the second wife and the fifth lady very much.

I don't know how the relationship between the old lady and Lao An is?

Yu Tang has never seen his wife in Lao An.

Seeing that Yu Tang was also there, the second wife and the fifth wife were okay, and nodded towards Yu Tang with a restrained smile, but the fifth miss ran over, shouting "Sister Yu", and asked her happily: " Do you want to come to our house to celebrate the New Year? Then, do you want to make lanterns with me later? Amber and others will tell me to make lanterns."

and also? !

Who else?

Yu Tang was surprised.

Pei's family obviously did not intend to hide from her. The second wife smiled and said: "Something has happened to Miss Gu's house. This year, we will celebrate the New Year in our house.

What can happen to her family?

Yu Tang sneered in his heart.

Because of her stepmother, Gu Xi had a very bad relationship with her father and half-siblings, and it could even be described as not caring about their life or death. Moreover, in the previous life, I never heard of what happened to her family...

Did Gu and Pei really have plans to marry, so Gu Xi found an excuse, and Lao An also took advantage of the trend and left Gu Xi? !

She would like to know what happened to Gu's family.

If she was in a previous life, she might ask in private. But for the rest of her life, she knows how many catties she has. Instead of playing with people like Lao An, she might as well ask directly. If people are willing to tell her, she will listen, and if they don’t want to tell her, she will rest. That's curious. Therefore, she did not hesitate, but bluntly said: "What happened to Miss Gu's house? Why can't she go back to celebrate the New Year?"

Lao An and his second wife both showed surprises, and then they exchanged glances.

See no evil, speak no evil. When it comes to the privacy of other people's homes, most people don't ask. Miss Yu is considered to have read books, so she should pretend to be unaware, but she didn't expect that she asked straightforwardly.

Is this Miss Yu sensible or ignorant?

The old Anren suppressed the confusion in his heart and directly rejected Yu Tang: "We can’t talk too much about Gu’s family. We just received a letter from Miss Gu’s brother, asking us to keep her here for a year. I’ll wait for you. I will also see Miss Gu. You are the same age, so you have to get along well."

Yu Tang smiled and responded respectfully, but wondered whether his arrival would be related to Gu Xi's staying for the New Year.

She accompanied Lao An and the second wife for a conversation, and she was dismissed by Lao An to rest: "You just came today, and you have been sitting in a sedan chair for a long time. In the afternoon, you will have a good rest in the house. Come and use it together at night. Dinner."

Yu Tang responded with a smile.

Miss Wu took Yu Tang's hand and begged Lao An, "I'll go and help Sister Yu pack things."

The second wife smiled and scolded Miss Fifth: "You are not allowed to be naughty, let Miss Yu go to rest first."

Yu Tang likes Miss Wu very much, and when she is new to a place, she feels more secure with a familiar person around her. She smiled and said to the second wife: "You can let her go back to the guest room with me! With her, I can also have a company."

Miss Wu hurriedly hugged Yu Tang's arm, and said to the second wife: "Mother, look, sister Yu wants to be my company too."

The second wife wanted to stop, and Lao An said: "Then you will be with Sister Yu. However, you are not allowed to be naughty. If you are naughty, you will never think that we will promise you to run around."

Miss Wu raised her eyebrows for joy and nodded again and again.

Yu Tang was also very happy, smiled and took Miss Wu's hand, and resigned to Lao An and the second wife.

The second wife could not help complaining a little, and said to Lao An humane: "Mother, you can't spoil her like this anymore. Look at the three girls in the three rooms, you can advance and retreat at a young age, and they look like ladies..."

Lao An interrupted the second wife and said, "But look at Si Yatou again!"

The second wife stopped talking.

The old Anren continued, "Was the five girl ever so lively and active? Originally, she worked hard to keep her filial piety. She finally met someone who could talk, you are a mother, don't you look forward to her? Can you be happy? A girl’s house, I can stay at home for a few years! I don’t know what it is like when I marry someone. I don’t care about others, and the jewel of our family, I can’t bear her suffering."

The second wife hurriedly said: "How can it be! With your elderly watching, even if we are negligent, she can't suffer!"

Lao An gave a light "hum" and didn't speak any more.

In the east wing room where Yu Tang lives, she and Miss Wu are sitting on the Luohan bed in the inner room, drinking tea while watching Shuangtao instruct the servants of Pei's house to clean up the inner room.

Originally, these people were very energetic when they were assigned to Yu Tang, but now in front of Miss Fifth, they are more swift and careful in doing things.

Miss Wu is very interested in the half-made silk flowers in the embroidery basket that Yu Tang brought.

She asked Yu Tang: "Can I learn too?"

Yu Tang smiled and said, "As long as you want."

Miss Wu became happy and whispered to her in a whisper: "My grandmother is about to celebrate her birthday, I want to give her something different. Sister Yu teaches me to make a silk flower for my grandmother... I'll go Ask Aunt Chen for some maroon red velvet. I don’t know if it’s enough. When Sister Yu rests, I will let the maids take it for you to see... The three older sisters will also come later... Mrs. Shen and Miss Gu are also with you. We went up the mountain together... They live in the yard next to you, which is bigger over there. Aunt Chen said that Mrs. Shen is Mr. Shen’s wife after all. It is better to arrange them to live there instead of looking at the face of the monk or the Buddha...but Three sisters live here with us..."

Yu Tang listened with a smile, and did not inquire about Gu's family.

In her opinion, since Lao An was unwilling to tell her, she shouldn't ask about it on any occasion. Although she was so curious.

But several other ladies from Pei's family will also come, which still surprised her.

She asked: "Why did the second young lady come here too?"

Miss Fifth is focused on the silk flowers in the embroidery basket. While turning over the various utensils in the embroidery basket carefully, she absent-mindedly said: "The third elder sister is about to discuss marriage, and the third uncle and grandmother's meaning must be checked first. Talent is good. The family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to greet Lao An to let the third sister see people. The New Year is about to come and the Pei family mansion is coming and going, and the third uncle and grandmother came to discuss with grandmother specially, and grandmother agreed. ."

It makes sense.

But why should she be invited too?

She is not from Pei's family!

Yu Tang still didn't think clearly.

Just before she could think about it, Gu Xi suddenly came over.

Next to her was the dowry maid from her previous life, Hexiang, who was still carrying a basket in her hand, and she didn't know what she had pretended to be.

"Unexpectedly, I met Miss Yu again here." Gu Xi smiled, her jaw raised slightly, her voice was gentle but her expression was arrogant, exactly the same as when they first met in her previous life, leaving Yu Tang in a trance for a moment, almost not clearly distinguished. Past and Present.

She thought, is it because Gu Xi knew her identity, that's why he put on such a face to her?

But Gu Xi was obviously more sincere and kind to Miss Wu. She said to Miss Wu: "The Buddha incense I made a few days ago is ready, and you are ready to try it with a box. Who knows that you will know you when you go to your house. Coming to Miss Yu, Mrs. Shen was caught in the wind and cold again. I want to wait for a while, so I ran over if I didn't want to wait in your room for a long time."

As she said, Hexiang took out a black lacquered box.

Ashan, Miss Wu's personal maid, hurriedly took the box.

"Thank you Miss Gu." Miss Fifth said, smiling shyly, still a bit childish, not much talk, where is the liveliness and activity just now.

Yu Tang's heart moved slightly, thoughtfully.

Gu Xi seemed to be accustomed to such a fifth lady. She smiled apologetically to Yu Tang: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Miss Yu was here too, so I brought a box of potpourri. I usually use it best when reading and writing. But that's it."

In his previous life, Gu Xi liked to make incense, and the incense made is very famous in Lin'an. Many ladies of the squire family in Lin'an are proud to get the incense made by Gu Xi. This potpourri scent was also obtained by Yu Tang in his previous life, and it smelled really fragrant, refreshing, and especially good. It's a pity that she only got one box. Before she used it up, Lin took away the remaining incense on the grounds that she was a widow and shouldn't play with extravagance.

Later, she gradually adapted to the fresh air, but didn't like the fragrance anymore.

But she accepted it with a smile—it would be nice to give it as a gift to those who like to use incense in the future.

Gu Xi visited the place where Yu Tang lived.

The furniture, curtains, etc. belong to the Pei family, but the hanging screens, flower goblets, and tea cups should be used at home.

The hanging screens are four black lacquered and gold-painted plums, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboos. Both the production and the materials and patterns are very common. The flower goblets are cloisonne that can be seen everywhere. Not to mention the tea cup, it is a white set without any pattern or color. porcelain. When she first moved in, there was such a set of tea sets on the round table. The little maid from the Pei family who was assigned to serve in her room told her that it was beautifully presented and waited for those who moved in to bring their own. The tea sets that come, they will naturally put them away.

The place where Yu Tang lives is clearly arranged, but the tea set is still on the table. If you don't know the rules of the Pei family, she didn't bring her usual things up the mountain.

A young lady who lives in someone else’s house but doesn’t bring her habitual things, is she still a young lady?
