Delicate Flower

Chapter 2: shop

There was such an unthinkable thing that Yu Tang thought she would suffer from insomnia. Who knew that when her head was on the pillow and her breathing was lingering with the familiar bergamot incense, she actually didn't even dream and fell asleep till dawn.

But she didn't wake up naturally.

Instead, she was woken up by Shuangtao: "Miss, the lady is here!"

Every time Yu Tang gets up, he feels a little chaotic.

She leaned on the head of the bed, with **** and white eyes full of moisture, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and yawned and said, "Auntie? When did Auntie come here?"

While speaking, Yu Tang was agitated and completely awake.

In the previous life, her eldest aunt came over before the day after the water walk on Changxing Street. It was said that the weather was hot, unable to sleep, and the days were difficult. I brought a needle and thread to do it. In fact, I found an excuse to keep my mother and her at home for a whole day. Until the evening, her uncle and brother in the lobby were busy with the shop. I sent a letter to my father who was far away in the city of Suzhou, and the eldest mother left.

Even so, when the eldest mother left, she deliberately ordered the servants in the house not to reveal any news about the shop to her and her mother, leaving the prince who served by her aunt at home and told her to make snow pastry.

Her mother was very pleased that she would be interested in learning some cooking, so she moved a stool to accompany her in the kitchen. With this snowflake, she detained the mother and daughter together to their father.

When my father came back, he also understated the things in the shop. If it weren't for the "Songhu Fishing Hidden Picture", someone else's family would come to ask for money, and my mother would not know the family had no money. But she waited until her parents had passed away before she knew that there were only 50 acres of fertile land left in the family.

She didn't think it was an important turning point in her life until she married into the Li family and was coveted by Li Duan.

Yu Tang hurriedly got up: "Who is the big aunt accompanied by? Does my mother know that the big aunt is here?"

While serving her to freshen up, Shuangtao said, "I came here before dawn, saying that the weather was too hot to sleep, and we wouldn't let us wake you and your wife. I will be accompanied by Granny Chen to enjoy the coolness in the courtyard."

Yu Tang nodded.

Still the same as the previous life.

It's just that in this life she won't throw all of these to the elders in the family.

Yu Tang hurried to the courtyard.

The eldest mother was wearing a bright blue summer cloth skirt and was sitting on a bamboo chair under the camphor tree. Possessed Chen and Posed Wang, one to the left and one to speak, and the other to help with fans. The eldest mother's expression was sorrowful, her dark circles under her eyes were very obvious, and she didn't sleep well at first glance.

How big her heart was in her previous life, so she didn't notice the strangeness of her elder mother at all.

"Big aunt!" Yu Tang stepped forward to salute the aunt Wang, but tears were gushing from his eyes.

In the previous life, both the uncle and the elder brother died because of her involvement. The aunt had no support and went back to her natal family as a widow, seeking a living in the hands of her natal nephew and niece. Not only did the big aunt not blame her, she also entrusted her cousin who was a monk at the temple to take her in when she was in the most difficult time.

"You child, why are you crying?" Wang looked at Yu Tang and sighed, and personally stepped forward to help her up, and motioned to Mrs. Wang to give Yu Tang a chair, and then said softly, "I have heard about it. You went yesterday. It’s over Changxing Street. It’s rare for you to be so sensible. I won’t say any more. You have to keep your mom from the shop anyway. Your mom’s health is not good. You must be anxious to hear the news. Your father If you are not at home, if your mother is in a hurry, what will you do with your dad?"

Yu Tang nodded again and again, helped Wang to sit down again, and toasted a cup of chrysanthemum tea to Wang, sat down beside Wang, and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know it's great."

Wang nodded, feeling that Yu Tang today is very different from the past, and can't help but look at Yu Tang.

Fifteen or six-year-old girls are beautiful no matter how they dress, not to mention that Yu Tang is a famous Peugeot in Qingzhu Alley. It's just that she is spoiled and spoiled and looks childish, but today she stands straight, with a bit of toughness between her brows and eyes, and her clear eyes are clear and energetic. The whole figure stretches out like a jointed bamboo. It looks refreshing and neat, which makes people like it even more.

Wang secretly applauded, saying: "I heard that you bumped your head yesterday afternoon. Is it better?"

Yu Tang repeatedly said: "I'm fine! When the incident happened suddenly, I was shocked at the time, and it would be better soon."

Wang didn’t believe it, and said, “Just now, Mrs. Chen said that you were in a coma for two hours, and after waking up, you said some nonsense. Before Shuangtao went to tell your mom, you took Shuangtao and went to Changxing Street to watch the excitement. , I can't stop it. If it wasn't for Mrs. Chen to be able to keep it steady and help you hide your mom, your mom would have to run to the street to find you."

Yu Tang was guilty and admitted his mistake: "I did not do it right. I will never do this again."

Seeing her white face and wrinkled, pitiful, Wang suddenly felt unbearable, and smiled: "Okay, I don't mean to blame you. It's just that your mom and dad are the only ones, you are the only one in your mouth. I'm afraid of turning away, holding it in my hand for fear of falling, so I can't help thinking and worrying. You have to be considerate of your mom and dad. You may not be able to do what others can do."

"I see!" Yu Tang was taught obediently.

Or because he was still worried about her husband and son, Wang whispered to her about the fire yesterday: "Your uncle and your brother in the lobby were busy in the middle of the night, and brought a letter back, saying that it is not only our shop, but Pei The shops in the house were burnt to the point that there were only a few ruined walls. There was another major incident in the Pei’s family, and there was no one to preside over the overall situation. The prefect Tang is now so distraught that he doesn’t know how to write a book to the court."

Pei's family is a big family in Lin'an.

Really big players.

No matter who is the prefect of Lin'an City, he must first visit Pei's house before taking office.

Before her death, the Pei family was the most prominent family in Lin'an City.

The most prosperous Changxing Street in Lin'an City, except for the seven or eight shops that have been run by the Yu family for generations, the rest are all owned by the Pei family. The mountains, forests, fertile fields, tea houses, and mulberry gardens outside the city are also mostly owned by Pei. home's. Many people live by Pei's family.

In the previous life, the one hundred acres of fertile land in their Yu family was also sold to the Pei family.

The Pei family has been rich for several generations.

From the previous dynasty to the present, there have been more than 20 two-ranked jinshi, seven or eight first-rank seniors.

In this generation, the three lords of Pei's family are all two-ranked scholars. Waiting for a few more years, two young masters of Pei's family won Jinshi again.

The old lady of the Pei family seemed to have passed away at this time.

Yu Tang couldn't help but said: "It's really a coincidence. The old man in their house just went there anyway!"

Who knew that Wang was taken aback and asked, "Is the old man of the Pei family? Who told you that the old man of the Pei family was there? It is the elder of the Pei family, the eldest man who worked in the Ministry of Work in the capital, said that he was seriously ill in Beijing a few days ago. He died. The news reached Lin'an. Grandpa Pei suddenly fell ill. Several young masters of Pei’s family rushed to Qiantang to pick up spirits last night. The stewards were busy treating the funeral for the grandfather, and no one had time to take care of Changxing Street. thing."

Yu Tang was stunned, but didn't think much.

Regardless of the previous life or this life, the Pei family is too far away from her, and she is just hearsay about the Pei family's affairs, and she can't count them.

Wang said with emotion: "The fire on Changxing Street started all at once. Your uncle said that the fire burned strangely-anyone who walked with water burned from one place and then spread to other places. Your uncle I suspect that someone has set fire, and I want to go to the government to talk about it. Unfortunately, there is something wrong with Pei’s family, and Tang Zhifu is definitely not in the mood to take care of this...

When Yu Tang listened, his heart beat fiercely.

In the previous life, the Li family came to raise a kiss after an accident in their family. At that time, she was reluctant and felt that she was still in the filial piety period, and it was not appropriate to discuss this matter. But the uncle and aunt felt that after the filial piety period, she would be eighteen, and she would definitely not be able to marry a good family, so they discussed with her to make a marriage with the Li family first, and then discuss the marriage date after the filial piety.

She couldn't help but hesitate. However, the Li family sent someone to tell her privately that if she agrees to get married first, the Li family is willing to lend five thousand taels of silver to the uncle, not to make money, so that the uncle's family will make a comeback.

There was a fire on Changxing Street, their shop was burned, and her uncle's shop was also burned. When the Li family came to mention this, the Pei family was rebuilding Changxing Street. The foundation is ready, but the money for building the shop has to be paid by each house. If someone doesn't have the money to rebuild the shop, he can sell it to Pei's family at a price.

Most of the people sold the foundation to Pei's family.

Her uncle is unwilling to sell the foundation.

That is the ancestral industry left by the Yu family.

Not only was he reluctant to sell, he even wanted to build the two fronts left by her father.

But when her grandfather died, her uncle, thinking that her father would not be able to run general affairs, divided the four shops evenly. Two hundred acres of land and one hundred acres of fertile land were allocated to her father, and the other 50 acres of medium land, 50 acres Acre of mountain forest was given to him.

The four shops cost four thousand taels of silver. It was only a drop in the price to sell her uncle's Tian Quan, and even the pillars for building the shop were not available.

After hearing what the Li family said, she felt that her marriage could get the uncle's family out of trouble, and she agreed to the marriage with Li Jun, the second youngest of the Li family, without telling the uncle.

Afterwards, the uncle felt sorry for her, and asked to sell grain to Jiubian for salt to make a lot of money, so he took the five thousand taels of silver from the Li family and went to Huguang.

Although the big uncle and the elder brother in the lobby made a lot of money in their nine deaths, they also laid down the troubles-in order to make a dowry for her, the elder brother and the elder brother in the lobby went in and out of Jiubian several times, and first rebuilt the two shops left by her father. I got up, and later I took great effort to buy back the fertile land that her family had sold out...but my uncle also focused on food and salt to attract business, not only with the brothers in the lobby, what are they doing for a living? There was a dispute on the site, and the robbers were also encountered on the way to Jiubian, with no bones left.

In her previous life, she was raised in a deep boudoir and was ignorant of world affairs. Even if she knew the fire on Changxing Street, she wouldn't have any thoughts when she knew it was burning strangely. But at this time, Yu Tang had fallen into the quagmire of the Li family. He didn’t know how many nasty methods he had seen. After listening to this, he knew that the Pei family’s method of embezzling shops and the Li family’s enclosing method back then The method is exactly the same.

As long as there is a chance, they will bully the weak.

The same cruelty, the same despicable and vicious!
