Delicate Flower - Chapter 146

[Chapter 145 Silk Flower]

Aunt Ji, like last time, greeted Yu Tang at the second gate and accompanied her all the way to Lao An’s yard.

On the way, she whispered to Yu Tang: “The eldest wife and the second wife came over to greet Lao An. Miss Yu will wait in the Nuan Pavilion for grievances.” The

younger generation came to do filial piety, of course she should not be involved, it is a plan The aunt was polite and put it so euphemistically.

Yu Tang thought about the time she came to Pei’s house to meet the eldest wife, and the rumors when Pei Yan had just taken over the Pei’s house, she not only responded with a smile, but also changed the subject as if to avoid suspicion: “Aunt Ji, tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival, Why haven’t chrysanthemums been placed in the house yet?” The

Double Ninth Festival is the best season for chrysanthemums. People from Jiangnan love flowers, and even if they are a belly-wrap family, they should raise two chrysanthemums. Everyone from a wealthy family like the manor would be embarrassed to say that it was going to be a festival if they didn’t put out a few ink chrysanthemums or pile up a few chrysanthemum mountains.

Who knows this sentence should not be said.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Aunt Ji’s expression, and she said, “It’s not that our three masters don’t like these flowers. Since the old master left, Lao An’s heart has not been happy, and he is not in the mood to enjoy flowers and plants. We, the servants, are not good at making our own decisions.”

Yu Tang wiped his sweat and said hurriedly, “That’s true. When my mother was unwell two years ago, our family was not in the mood either. It’s the festival. Desserts such as horseshoe cakes and snowflake cakes for guests at home are bought from the market.”

I don’t know where this sentence hit Aunt Ji’s heart, and Aunt Ji said with emotion: “Who said no Since our grandfather drove the crane to the west, the people of Lao’an suddenly collapsed. I used to like beautiful people so much. I haven’t even made a single piece of clothing in a year, let alone made jewelry. It was the old man’s anniversary a few days ago, and the second master persuaded the old man for a day, and the spirit of the old man gradually improved.” Said When she got here, she looked at the little girl who was leading the way in front of her, and lowered her voice to remind Yu Tang, “When you meet Lao An, just make her happy, if you can let her make jewelry and make clothes, there will be no problem in the whole house. Thank you.”

Yu Tang blinked.

The rushing people didn’t take a fancy to the peanut cake she made, they wanted to find someone who would laugh at Lao An’s people!

It sounds like the second master is really like the rumor, very filial.

But where did Pei Yan go?

Why didn’t he persuade Lao An?

The whole house is grateful to her, so will the eldest wife be grateful to her?

Yu Tang sat down in the warm pavilion, and met another acquaintance – tired branches.

She stood up happily and said,

“Do you still remember me?”

Lei Zhi smiled at her and said, “I saw you when you came last time, but I was on duty in the tea room that day, so I I’m not ashamed to

say hello to you.”

Yu Tang saw that she was dressed in neat cyan silk and matching armor, and held a red lacquer silver-painted gold tray in the style of Begonia, full of energy, and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you to come to Lao’an too. I’m here

.”

Lei Zhi smiled and said, “I’ve been here for almost a year, and I’m still learning the rules. No, seeing you here, I made an excuse to come here.” The

two talked happily, Yu Tang I know a lot about Pei’s house.

For example, Lao’an people are not the kind of people who like to make rules for their daughter-in-law. It turns out that when the old man was there, both wives took office with their husbands. The second wife would come over every first and fifteenth day to greet her.

The eldest wife and the second wife came here today because the Double Ninth Festival was coming soon, but Lao An suddenly said that the festival was over, and they were going to stay in the temple for two days.

No matter how much the second master persuaded him, he could not persuade him. He asked the second wife to accompany him to serve the Lao An people, but the Lao An people did not agree.

That old man still promised to see her?

Yu Tang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, “When will Lao An leave?”

Lei Zhi said, “Let’s go early tomorrow morning and go to Zhaoming Temple.” After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled again, “Otherwise, how could this happen? Is it my turn to pour tea for you? The elder sisters in Lao’an’s house are busy packing the boxes and cages!”

Yu Tang felt that he came at a wrong time.

Who would have known that just as soon as this thought came up, there was a round-faced, festive and well-behaved maid who pulled up the curtain and gave her a salute, saying, “Miss Yu, Lao An knows that you are here, let me Please come over!”

Lei Zhi introduced to Yu Tang, “This is Sister Pearl from Lao An’s house.”

This little girl looked younger than Lei Zhi, either because she was born with a childish face, or she was Lao An The first-class maid next to the person, sister is an honorary title.

However, the name Pearl suits this little girl very well, she is indeed round and gentle.

Yu Tang followed and said “Sister Pearl”.

Pearl was so frightened that she took a half step back, and even said that she did not dare, and blushed: “This is a joke, Miss Yu must not take it seriously, or Aunt Chen will punish me.”

Yu Tang couldn’t understand Lao An .

The depths of the room did not say anything more, and said a few jokes with a smile, and then went to the Laoan people’s house with the pearl.

Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, he sat on the Luohan bed and waved to Yu Tang: “Bring it to me and see, what kind of silk flowers did you bring here.” The

eldest wife, the second wife and others all left, The tea cups and fruit plates in the room were all taken down, but several embroidered piers were still surrounding Luohan’s bed.

Yu Tang smiled and bowed to Lao An, sat down on the embroidered pier closest to Lao An at the sign of the little maid, and handed the box to Pearl.

Pearl opened the box and showed the silk flowers inside to Lao An.

The old man’s eyes lit up.

Two camellias, two chrysanthemums, two hostas, two magnolias, and the size of a wine cup on the big red fleece blanket are made of Zhang velvet that makes people feel warm when you look at it in this season. The petals are overlapping and lifelike. If you don’t know in advance, it is easy for people to misunderstand that it is a real flower.

“This is really…” The old man took a camellia flower in his hand and said it carefully, “The last time I saw the Ping Tilian on your head, I felt very good, but I didn’t expect these flowers to be better. How did you do it?”

Yu Tang smiled and said, “Actually, the sales outside are not worse than what I do. It’s just that the ones sold outside are specializing in this, and I’m just passing the time, and I can do it as well as others. , Lao An people think I’m amazing, but in fact everyone is similar.”

Lao An people nodded, but suddenly made a “huh”, touched the petals of the camellia with his fingers for a while, and then looked at Yu Tang go.

This time, she looked at Yu Tang a little more solemnly, which shocked Yu Tang and stammered: “What, what’s wrong?” The

old man smiled when he heard the words.

That smile was like melting ice and snow, and the atmosphere around her became warm.

“You did a good job with this silk flower.” She smiled, the smile flowing from the bottom of her eyes, instead of staying shallow on the corners of her lips like the last time she came, “I only felt like a real flower before, just now I just found out that the velvet you use to make silk flowers is shorter than the fluff of ordinary velvet, so it looks dense, and the petals look like real flowers, which are thick, smooth and shiny. How did you do it? Use scissors Re-pruned? Or is there some other way?”

she asked with interest.

However, Yu Tang suddenly became excited, and suddenly there was a kind of joy of “pink for a beautiful woman”.

“You found it!” she laughed, “When I was making silk flowers before, I always wanted to make something different, whether I made dewdrops on the petals, stopped a dragonfly or something, or nailed glass. Beads are used as eyes, but later, I feel more and more that it is the most difficult thing to be ‘true’. How do the flowers bloom at noon, how do the flowers bloom in the morning, and what do the flowers at night look like… When I was making camellias, I bought the best Zhang velvet, not to mention, I tried to cut their velvet short… But if I cut it too short, sometimes the bottom of the cloth would be exposed… The last time I went to Suzhou At that time, I specially asked the guys at the silk and satin village for advice… I ordered a piece of cloth from them… It was a bit expensive, but everyone said that the silk flowers made are good, like the real ones… like the two flowers in your hand, It’s the camellia that blooms at noon. If it’s at night, the petals should be rolled up a little more… I’m still thinking about whether to wear it in the morning, noon and evening.”

“You’re right. To make silk flowers, you need to do it. It’s the ability to mix the real with the fake!” Lao An said happily, “Then your hosta flowers bloom in the evening, and the chrysanthemum blooms in the morning?”

“Mmm, um, um.” “I want someone from Lao’an to see guests at night, so I can change to wear it.”

Lao’an was a clan wife, and all the women in the clan would come to her when they had something to do, so it didn’t matter whether it was morning, noon or night.

“You little girl, you are really ingenious.” The old man praised, turned his head and instructed Pearl to put away all the flowers, and said to Yu Tang, “I will go to Zhaoming Temple tomorrow to stay for a few days, and when I come back, I’m going to make a few winter coats, and you can help me check it out when the time comes.”

Does this mean she’s qualified?

Yu Tang found it interesting, and said, “I don’t know much about the tailoring of clothes.” The

old man laughed and said, “You can make silk flowers like this, so it’s obvious that you have an inner show, and then you only need to choose what is beautiful. Anything is fine, I will post a message to your family when the time comes.”

If this matter can make Lao An people happy, she is willing to do it.

Yu Tang also answered some of Lao An’s techniques for making silk flowers, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com politely declined Lao An’s meal on the pretext of going home to prepare a family dinner for the Double Ninth Festival, so he got up and said goodbye.

It was still Aunt Ji who sent her out, but they met Aming on the way.

“Miss Yu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” He smiled and ran in front of Yu Tang, “Our third master invites you to drink tea at the gazebo.

” ?

Yu Tang murmured inwardly, but did not say it, and followed Aming to the pavilion.

The pavilion she went to this time was not the pavilion by the stream that she went to last time, but a pavilion built in a small valley called “Ticha”.

Yu Tang asked Aming in a low voice, “How many pavilions do you have in your house?”

Aming stretched out her fingers and murmured for a while, then said, “There should be seventeen. But it’s not necessarily, I’ll just count what I remember. After counting, there may be some missed ones.”

Well, there is none in her family.
