Delicate Flower

Chapter 184: busy

The feeling of going home is very, very different from being outside. For the same meal, Pei’s food is much better than that of Yu’s family, but when Yu Tang is eating at Pei’s house, no matter what, even if she is alone, she will feel a little restrained. But in her own home, even if she was at the same table with her uncle and aunt, she would still feel comfortable and happy if she wanted to "not say anything to sleep"; it was also sleeping, and even the other courtyard of Pei's house used a lacquer bed. The house sleeps on a black-lacquered Luotian Babu bed. She still needs two sticks of incense every night to fall asleep. Lying on her four-poster carved bed with a half-new yarn tent, smelling the soft smell of the sun on the bed, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, and she slept until the next afternoon.

When Yu Tang opened his eyes, she could just hear Shuangtao talking to Old Lady Chen: "...The persimmons are really delicious, not bitter at all, and sweet. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious persimmons. Catkin said Those hoarfrosts were all sun-dried, and they were transported quickly from Fujian. The lady likes to eat too. When the lady came back from Pei’s mansion this time, Pei’s mansion gave us two small baskets of persimmons. Speaking of which, The maid of the Pei’s house is really good. Like the catkins that were assigned to serve in our house, it is said that they are only second-class in Pei’s house, which is not very good, but they don’t know how careful and thoughtful they are when they do things. I heard that she told Aunt Chen about this matter. When I first went there, I felt that the lady was making a fuss, but after being in contact with the catkins for a period of time, I am very grateful to the lady for letting me learn the rules.

Don't talk about these things everywhere, right?

It's too short!

Yu Tang turned over, and there was a slight rustling noise in the room. Shuangtao immediately stopped the topic, and whispered to Granny Chen: "It should be the lady who is awake, I will go and check it. You put these pastries here first. Okay, I'll come and clean up after seeing the young lady."

If it were in the past, Shuangtao might not always pay attention to Yu Tang's movements, and even if she noticed, she wouldn't be so proactive to see if she had any requests.

It can be seen that Shuang Tao followed her to Pei's Mansion and still made progress.

Yu Tang pursed his mouth and smiled, served by Shuang Tao, getting up to freshen up.

Chen is here.

When she came over, she was still holding a red-lacquered box in her hand. When she saw Yu Tang, her expression was a little nervous: "Atang, have you ever read carefully the Pei’s gift list? I have been checking Pei’s family before. I found this box with what I sent over.” He opened the box as he said.

A piece of golden light pierced people a little bit to open their eyes.

"It's all gold ornaments." Chen continued worryingly, "My father and I roughly estimated that it would have to be two or three kilograms. This is too expensive! Why did you accept it? ?"

Yu Tang was also taken aback, got up and took the box, and looked at it carefully: "I really don't know. At that time, the Pei family's gift list was covered with an outer envelope. It was not until I went home to leave Laoan Pei when I was in charge of things. It's for me. How am I ashamed to go to see what was written on the gift list in front of the Pei family? Later, I was anxious to return home, thinking that I would receive everything, and then I would pay the same gift in the future. I haven't opened the gift list to read."

A box of gold ornaments is a set of heads. In addition to distractions, hairpins and the like, there are also temples, all of which are pure gold. If nothing else, let’s just talk about the pair of sideburns, the size of a wine cup, made into a peony style. They don’t look like one or two in the hand. The petals are as thin as paper and trembling, and they have superb skills. Uncommon golden buildings can be beaten.

This is not a matter of how much money, but a matter of how much silver it is worth.

No wonder her mother is upset.

She was also very disturbed.

"What did Dad say?" It's impossible for her mother to discuss such a big matter with Dad, Yu Tang asked.

The Chen said helplessly: "What can you expect your dad to say? He will only say something, "I will come to Japan for a long time", but what will our family give back to Pei's gift! Anyway, I told your dad, a few days later. I want to take you to greet Lao An, and send something over to make your dad trouble his brain."

Yu Tang giggled, imagining his father scratching his head and wondering what to do.

Chen received the box and said: "I will help you put it away. Such a good thing must be kept for you as a dowry." After finishing speaking, Chen said "Oh" and said: "Look at my memory! You! Brother sent someone to ask you if you got up early today, saying that there is something important for you. When you get up, let me send someone to tell him-I will forget all about it. I will send it. People go and tell your brother, and then bring a letter, let your uncle, uncle, and your sister-in-law all come over for dinner. It's rare that you are at home, and the New Year is coming soon, so there is no need to make a clear distinction."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

She also has something to ask her elder mother.

Aunt's cousin's husband-in-law's family seems to be Zeng, with a mole on the corner of her mouth. But she asked several people at Ku'an Temple, and no one knew about the woman. And when she mentioned the Kuan Temple yesterday, the aunt did not mention that she had a cousin in the Kuan Temple.

Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

The eldest aunt's cousin once said that she was abandoned by her husband's family because her son fell and drowned. If she has not yet entered the Kuan Temple, does it mean that her son might be saved?

Yu Tang was a little anxious.

Fortunately, the eldest mother came earlier.

Regardless of her, she threw the Xiang clan to her mother, accompanied by her mother to speak, and pulled the eldest aunt to the side to whisper, asking about the Zeng clan.

The elder mother looked dazed, and said: "I have a cousin who married to Zeng's house, but she died of dystocia more than ten years ago. It is impossible for her to become a monk or retreat at Kuan Temple! Did you remember wrong? ? And, I shouldn't have mentioned my cousin to you, if you don't talk about it, I don't have any impression of this matter myself?"

Yu Tang was completely confused.

She asked: "Then what is the surname of your cousin who married to Zeng's family?"

"The last name is Zhang." Wang said, "I only have this cousin."

Yu Tang said, "Is it possible that someone from the Zeng family, who didn't want everyone to pay attention to her, just told me that it was your cousin?"

"It's possible." The elder mother thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, then I'll send someone to inquire about it. Maybe something really happened? Can you help or help? ."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, and the elder mother asked her about Kuan Temple: "According to you, the family members of the Pei family are ready to help the people of Kuan Temple support themselves? I think this is really a great thing. If it works. If you have anything to do with your mom and me, just talk about it. You little girls don’t know, or how many young women have a bad life after getting married, and if they are kicked out, there is basically no way to survive. If the things at Kuan Temple can be done, you have done a great good deed to save suffering!"

"Without the daughter of the Pei family, how could I have done such a thing?" Yu Tang and the older aunt said modestly, but they were anxious for the son of the woman from the Zeng family, urging the older aunt to send someone to visit the Zeng family. .

The eldest mother called Wang Si to come in.

Yu Tang was taken aback.

The aunt smiled and said, "Wang Si has helped a lot during your absence. Your uncle is still planning to accept him as a disciple!"

In this way, he will always be a member of the Yu family.

Yu Tang looked at his hands and feet more neatly, and his eyes showed a bit of shrewdness, and Wang Si, who was no longer able to speak with each other when he first came.

Maybe it's a good thing to keep him in Yu's house.

No one is available at Yu's house.

Yu Tang smiled and greeted him.

He respectfully saluted Yu Tang and took the order.

Later, Yu Yuan rushed over.

He came to talk to Yu Tang about the business of the lacquerware shop: "The designs painted by Master Zhang are very popular. In just a few days, they sold for nearly thirty taels of silver. I mean, you go personally these few days. Visiting Zhang family, after all, this business was originally talked to by you and Zhang Gongzi’s wife. I think it’s better to leave this to you. If you can persuade Zhang Gongzi to paint us a few more pictures, then it’s best. Up."

What can Yu Tang do? Can only agree to chant. But she also entrusted Yu Yuan to make a suitable red paint box for Miss Pei's Second Miss. She will give it to Miss Pei's Second Miss as a makeup gift: "Think about it, Pei's family and Yang's family are married. Many people will come to watch the dowry. If our lacquerware allows those people to take a high look, it will definitely bring some business to our shop."

Yu Yuan agrees with her views very much, and he also believes that no matter what the opportunity, as long as there is a chance, you should try it, and you should hurry up.

He said: "Leave this to me. I will do a few more things. When the time comes, I will let you choose. Be sure to make one that the second lady of the Pei family likes." Then he talked about the old house of the Yu family. There are seabuckthorn fruits planted in the fields and mountains: "The fourth king is rare and careful. Several trees have survived, and they will definitely grow better next year. You can continue to plant some saplings. Because it involves planting seedlings, when the time comes Let's ask the second uncle what he means."

The brothers and sisters spoke for a long time about the future, and Yu Bo also returned from the shop.

The two went to the hall together, and the whole family had a sumptuous reunion dinner together.

For the next few days, Yu Tang felt that he was too busy to stop like a spinning top.

She first went to Zhang Gongzi's house to look at Xiao Zhangqing, and euphemistically asked Zhang Gongzi if she could continue to draw some pictures for their family. Ma Xiuniang politely refused in embarrassment. Yu Tang had been mentally prepared before, and although he was a little disappointed, he was still able to accept it. After that, I went back to my hometown and looked at the sea-buckthorn trees. As her brother in the lobby said, they looked very good. Wang Si and Kan Linren both took their thoughts. Yu Tang rewarded Lin Ren with a tael of silver. As for Wang Si’s, he rewarded him after he returned from Wang’s cousin’s husband’s house. Of course, compared to looking at Lin Ren, Yu Tang rewarded him with a silver or two. .

He thanked and thanked him with the silver, and then talked about the missing person: "The old lady’s maiden’s wife has an aunt, about the same size as the watch wife, married in the same village, separated only by a forest. As you said, there is a mole on the corner of her mouth. However, since she married into her husband’s house, she has given birth to five girls without a son. She still lives in her husband’s house today. I don’t know if it’s the one you want to find out. people."
