Delicate Flower

Chapter 162: note

Since Yu Tang knew that Miss Wu could not play in the snow, of course he had to look after her. Just in this way, she didn't have much time to play by herself. I was naughty with a few little girls all morning, and when she was resting, she was already sweating through her clothes.

This kind of weather, this state is very easy to catch cold.

Yu Tang decided to go back to his house and change clothes.

The second wife told her: "It's okay, don't worry. Go back and take a shower, dry your hair, and come back. We are waiting for you to have lunch."

The body is sticky, it would be nice to take a shower.

Yu Tang bid farewell to his second wife, and met Aunt Ji when he walked halfway.

"Miss Yu!" Aunt Ji smiled and bowed her to her, and said, "The porter told me that you have sent a letter from your house. I went to the porter to get the letter, and I am about to send it to you!"

Yu Tang was shocked.

Isn't something going on at home?

She thanked Lady Ji, but couldn't help thinking about it in a mess.

Mom’s medicine has not stopped, and her health is getting better and better. She didn’t get sick last year. This year, she has been taking care of it as well as in previous years. There shouldn’t be any changes? Auntie's eldest mother and brother in the lobby regarded her as a treasure in the palm of her hand, and the whole family circled her. Auntie's bones were very healthy, and there shouldn't be anything wrong...why did the family write to her?

She hurriedly resigned from Auntie Ji, went back to where she lived in three steps and two steps, and opened the letter eagerly.

She just glanced at it, and she became anxious.

It turned out that it was Young Master Zhang who drew ten paintings. Her brother in the lobby couldn't make up his mind, so he transferred the paintings to her and asked her to see and make an idea.

Yu Tang looked at Zhang Gongzi's painting carefully. It is worthy of the literati's aesthetics. Although Liao and Liao count pens, they have both form, spirit and form, and are elegant and interesting.

She immediately replied to the brother in the lobby with a letter, asking her to pay according to the previously agreed price, and said: "Even if the merchants who placed the order before look down on them, they can stay for other purposes."

Shuang Tao invited the porter's servant to help deliver the letter, while Yu Tang was served by the catkins and took a bath.

After a while, Shuangtao came back.

Snow was piled on the wooden shoes.

It seems that the snow is getting heavier.

Yu Tang said: "The letter was sent out?"

Shuangtao took off the wooden shoes, and smiled: "It's sent out. I gave the young man 20 cents back."

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, and opened the jewelry box to choose suitable jewelry.

Shuangtao came over to help, while chatting with her: "When I came back, I ran into the wife next to Mrs. Shen. She also went to deliver the letter, but only rewarded the young man with ten cents. I thought I had waited for her together. When I came back, seeing her like this, it would be hard to tell her more."

Yu Tang paused while picking up the jewelry, and said, "Mrs. Shen is also sending the letter? Do you know who it is for?"

Shuangtao helped her insert the selected silk flowers into her hair bun, and said: "It seems to be sent to Hangzhou. Because I heard the young man ask the lady next to Mrs. Shen, if the letter is delivered by the Pei family, it will only Can send the letter to the treasurer Tong Da first, and then take it when the treasurer Tong goes to Hangzhou City. If the letter is delivered by the government, they will help her deliver the letter to the station and give her a receipt. Mrs. Shen estimates that it will compare. Anxious, let them help send to the inn." After that, she complained a little, "It's such a heavy snow, and the inn is so far away, but the woman next to Mrs. Shen only rewarded the little servant with ten cents..."

Yu Tang heard this and said displeased: "The situation of each family is different. Maybe the twenty cents we gave is very small in the eyes of those little servants. Besides, we are now at Pei's house, you have to be careful! "

Shuang Tao replied with a blushing face, and went to Lao An when she finished cleaning up.

Miss Fourth, Miss Third and Miss Fifth have all arrived, and they all took a bath and changed clothes, and they were sitting around Lao An and talking.

Seeing Yu Tang coming, everyone got up and said hello.

Gu Xi and Miss Er also came over.

Both of them were freshened up.

Everyone was joking and joking again.

The old Anren smiled and told Aunt Chen: "Since everyone is here, let's set the meal!"

Aunt Chen answered.

Gu Xi stepped forward to help Lao An Ren.

Lao Anren smiled and patted Gu Xi's hand. With her support, Yu Tang surrounded him and went to the hall.

Or because the weather is cold, there is a clear soup of lamb on the table today.

The mutton didn't have a smell, let alone the soup, and the soup was unexpectedly mellow.

Yu Tang drank two bowls in a row, his body was warm, and then he put down his chopsticks.

Miss Fourth asked everyone to go to the warm pavilion in the afternoon.

The old Anren laughed and told Aunt Ji: "Go and talk to the second wife, so that she will not be busy in the afternoon and go with them."

Aunt Ji smiled and should be.

Everyone was very happy and rushed to invite Lao An to go with everyone in the afternoon.

Lao An said with a loving smile: "I have old arms and legs, and I can't stand your toss, so you can let me go and let me rest at home."

Several juniors can't help but feel disappointed.

Lao An couldn't bear to look at it, and said, "That's good. Everyone should go back and take a nap. I'll take a look at you in the afternoon."

Everyone was happy again, for fear of delaying Lao An's nap, one after another stood up and said goodbye.

Lao An asked Aunt Chen to send them out.

Both Yu Tang and Gu Xi live behind the main house of Lao An, and they have to cross an alley, while the young ladies of Pei’s family live on the east side of the main house of Lao An. The two groups of people leave Lao An’s main house. In the main room, Yu Tang and Gu Xi are on the same road, and the young ladies from Pei’s family are on the same road. But when she got out of Lao An's main room, the second lady invited Gu Xi: "Sister, do you want to sit with me?"

Gu Xi showed regret and said, "I have to go back to see Mrs. Shen. Or, the second lady will come to my room and sit down. I heard from the little maid in your house that there is a large plum forest in the back mountain. I wondered if I should wait until it snows to pick some plum blossoms for incense. I didn’t expect it to snow last night. I also planned to invite a few younger sisters to enjoy the plum blossoms with Miss Yu!"

The young ladies of Pei's family all heard their faces light up, and the fourth young lady said with interest, enthusiasm, and authenticity: "Sister Gu, I'm going. Don't forget to call me when you go to pick plums."

Miss Fifth also yelled: "I want to go, I want to go too."

Gu Xi pursed her lips and said, "I don't know if the plum blossoms in the mansion can be picked? If they can be picked, I will definitely take you with me."

It's rare that the third lady is also very interested, and said: "It should be possible to pick it. Let's ask the second aunt later."

Miss Four nodded again and again, Miss Five took the initiative to ask Ying to ask her mother.

Everyone settled the matter with a smile, and then they dispersed.

Yu Tang saw the second lady and Gu Xi whispering side by side, knowing that Gu Xi wanted to destroy the Pei family one by one, so that the Pei family would feel good about her. She was inadvertently involved in it, so she slowed down and gradually fell behind them.

Who knew that when I left Jiaxiang, I ran into a young man who had just kept his head in front of him. When they met, he bowed to Yu Tang and asked her: "Are you Miss Yu?"

Yu Tang should be surprised.

The young man laughed: "The third master went up the mountain and knew that Miss Yu was going to deliver the letter, so he asked the concierge to give the letter to Manager Hu, and asked Mr. Hu to take it to your home in person. Mr. Hu was afraid that you were worried, so he asked me to come here. Let me tell you."

Yu Tang felt surprised and delighted inexplicably, and said, "The third master is here?"

"Yeah." The young man said, "I just went up the mountain and lived in Xilu Xiyuan. I should go to greet Lao An after a while."

According to Pei’s rules, he shouldn’t reveal the whereabouts of Master Pei San, but as soon as Master Pei San went up the mountain, he asked Manager Hu to deliver the letter to Yu Tang. Manager Hu also asked him to tell Miss Yu, why? It all made him think that Yu Tang was a distinguished guest of Pei Mansion, and he felt that he should be like Mr. Hu, to please her in front of Miss Yu.

Yu Tang smiled and rewarded him with a handful of coins, and then he and Shuang Tao continued to move forward. As a result, when she looked up, she saw Gu Xi and the second lady standing firmly in front, looking at her intently.

She touched her face without knowing it, and said strangely: "What's the matter? But what's the matter?"

The second lady frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Gu Xi.

"It's nothing!" Gu Xi smiled, "Just walking, and suddenly found that you are missing, we will wait for you here."

The second lady called out "Sister Gu" in surprise.

Gu Xi gave the second lady a hand, and smiled and said to Yu Tang, "When are you going to go out later? Let's call you at that time? Let's go to Nuanting together." The words were turned off.

Yu Tang knew Gu Xi too well.

There are a lot of thoughts and scruples. You have to turn a few turns when you talk, so that the obedient person can understand her true meaning after thinking and thinking.

In the past, everyone was a concubine, looking down and looking up, there was no way, but now that the two of them go their own way, she doesn't bother to guess Gu Xi's intentions. As long as Gu Xi didn't ask her, she would think she didn't know. Let Gu Xi figure it out in private.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn't help but think of Gu Xi wandering around the room with a worried face. The corners of her mouth turned slightly and she laughed.

"Okay!" She looked at Gu Xi, "I will wait for you to call me when the time comes. Let's go to Nuanting together."

"Then it's settled!" Gu Xi said, dragging the second lady and leaving.

Yu Tang smiled, and returned to the house with a pair of peaches.

The second lady is not as calm as Gu Xi.

As soon as Yu Tang's figure left their sights, the second young lady couldn't wait to say to Gu Xi: "Why can sister Gu not let me ask her? How could she be taken care of by Manager Hu? Even if Yu Xiucai and Mr. Hu are close, she lives in the inner house. In the compound, what needs Manager Hu to help her out? What is she going to do?"

They didn't hear exactly what the young man had said, which made them even more puzzled.

Gu Xi's eyes drooped, thinking of Yu Tang's family background, and she whispered softly: "I don't know how Miss Yu was favored by Lao An? It stands to reason that the Yu family has no connection with your house. How could she be so easily? Just walk in front of Lao An?"

The second lady was taken aback, and she thought about it carefully, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Xi was justified.

She hesitated and said: "It seems to have heard that her silk flowers are doing well... But no matter how good her craftsmanship is, can she be better than the embroidered mother at home?" She said in amazement, "Sister Gu, don't you say me Haven't noticed yet, Yu, Miss Yu seems to have come out suddenly!"
