Delicate Flower - Chapter 148

[Chapter 147]
Yu Tang was alone there thinking wildly for a long time, until he was called by the Chen family to learn how to make Double Ninth Cake.
Jiangmi and stalked rice soaked overnight are ground into pulp, red and green preserved fruits are cut into shreds, brown sugar, chestnut powder, lard are synthesized into sugar, and the layers are spread on the steamer… The double ninth cake made by her mother is different from other people’s. is a little different.
Others use brown sugar, red beans and lard to synthesize sugar, but their Chongyang cake uses brown sugar and chestnut powder. The Chongyang cake is as white as snow, with the unique aroma of chestnut, and it is not greasy. Especially favored by Yu Wen’s classmates and friends.
Therefore, every year on the Double Ninth Festival, their family has to do a lot of gifts.
This year, Ma Xiu’s family is also added.
Chen Shi told Yu Tang: “You go and come back quickly, we will go to your Wu Shibo’s house for dinner later.” During the
Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yu family invited the Wu family to have a crab feast.
On the Double Ninth Festival, the Wu family invited the Yu family to a crab feast.
Even the Yu Bo family was invited.
“Okay.” Yu Tang answered loudly, went to change clothes, and went to Zhang’s house with the hot Chongyang cake filled with freshly baked pot.
Ma Xiuniang hasn’t recovered to her former slenderness, while Qing’er is getting fatter and fatter, like a glutinous rice dumpling. Her neck can’t stand up yet, but she doesn’t want to lie in someone else’s arms. She has to move around and let her look around, otherwise she will cry loudly.
“You must have gotten used to her in her month!” Ma Xiuniang walked around the house with her daughter, while pretending to be unhappy and complaining to Yu Tang, “This is all a debt. Just wait for me. ”
Yu Tang embarrassedly smiled at Ma Xiuniang.
Ma Xiuniang finally coaxed her daughter to fall asleep and carried her to the wet nurse, so that she could sit down and talk to Yu Tang.
“Isn’t your marriage settled yet?” She was very concerned about this matter. “Otherwise, just leave the cabinet. I see your cousin is really good. He supports the door. You can take care of it from the side. Dad and your mom won’t be left unattended.”
Yu Tang didn’t want to get married at all now, so she responded casually with a few words, and shifted the topic to the Zhang family: “I heard that Mr. Zhang has gone to sit in the hall, so will he continue to end in the future?”
Ma Xiuniang She was also worried about this matter, she said: “Qinger’s father is a material for reading. If he doesn’t end, he will be abandoned. But he is also stubborn. After Qinger was born, there were too many places to spend money in the family. I wanted to take out my dowry to subsidize the subsidy, but he refused to accept it. Our sister-in-law will be leaving the cabinet soon…”
She sighed.
Only then did Yu Tang reveal his previous thoughts: “…Can you ask Mr. Zhang to help us paint a few patterns for the lacquer ware in our house? Without his name,
if someone asks, he will say that my brother drew it, you Do you think it works?”
Many scholars are ashamed to sacrifice their backs for money, and Mr. Zhang is still just an ordinary scholar. If he becomes an official in the future, helping bookstores to copy books is an elegant thing, but helping merchants to draw patterns for money is craftsmanship, and it is related to craftsmanship. Taking advantage of others and humiliating gentlemen will affect the reputation of Mr. Zhang.
If someone else brought up this matter, Ma Xiuniang would have driven them out of the house without thinking, but it was Yu Tang who said this. She knew Yu Tang very well, her mouth was tight, and she had an idea. can be trusted.
But whether Young Master Zhang is willing or not, she can’t say.
“Let me ask for you!” Ma Xiuniang didn’t dare to die, “If he wants to, why should I be worried?”
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Yu family’s lacquer shop was rebuilt, the business was not as good as before.
Mainly because of the period when Changxing Street was running water, many people in Lin’an city who needed lacquer had to go to Hangzhou city to buy it. After going there, they found that the lacquerware shops in Hangzhou city not only sold more items than those in Yujia’s shop. Also stylish.
Some wealthy families in Lin’an City began to go to Hangzhou City to buy lacquer ware, and the merchants always earn the money of the wealthy people, so their shops are not as good as before.
After the Double Ninth Festival, the Pei family came to pick up Yu Tang to be a guest at the mansion. This time Yu Tang was ready, not only brought a few silk flowers that he had made in the past few days, but also brought the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Chen.
This year’s newly stained osmanthus candy has a fragrant fragrance and fresh taste. It is made into osmanthus cakes, like gold foil sprinkled in white snow, which makes people feel appetizing.
Pei Lao’an ate two pieces in a row, but Aunt Chen dared not let Lao’an eat it again: “Why don’t you leave a few pieces for us greedy people to try.”
Lao’an laughed and put the rest of the snacks away rewarded.
Yu Tang was very happy and said, “If you like it, I’ll bring it to you when you come next time.”
“The main reason is that this sweet-scented osmanthus candy is well made.” The old man praised, “This is also your mother’s craft? Look! It looks like her desserts are good.”
Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled.
Aunt Ji watched and called for the tailor who had been waiting in Baoxia to come in.
The tailor was a forty-year-old aunt with two twenty-five- or six-year-old ladies.
The tailor was chubby, like a soft steamed bun, and his eyes were almost gone when he laughed.
The two ladies were one thin and silent, the other slender and alert.
When the three came in, they gave Lao An and Yu Tang big gifts.
Lao An asked Aunt Ji to help the tailor up, and after being greeted by the two ladies, he pointed to Yu Tang and said to the tailor, “This is one of my nieces, her surname is Yu.” Then he pointed to the tailor to Yu Tang Said: “This is the proprietress of the Jinlulou Building in Hangzhou City. Her husband’s surname is Wang. You can call Aunt Wang.” As for the two ladies, Lao An pointed at them and didn’t say what they were called. Obviously, he didn’t remember them. ‘s name.
Aunt Wang immediately said diligently, “These are my two apprentices, one husband’s surname is Li, and the other’s husband’s surname is Zhou.”
Yu Tang went up to say hello.
Aunt Wang repeatedly said that she did not dare, while the two ladies turned to their sides, daring not to accept her salute.
Lao An didn’t care, and asked Aunt Wang, “I heard that you brought new materials from Suzhou this time. Let me have a look.”
Aunt Wang responded immediately, and went with her two apprentices to bring in seven or eight pieces of fabric, and unfolded them one by one to show Lao An and Yu Tang: “Look at this month’s white round flower Hang silk, in previous years, it was not broken branches. Flowers are water and grass patterns. This year, the Buddha and Eight Treasures came out. Because they used silver threads, they looked like plain silk from a distance. This one, dark green hang silk embroidered with white chrysanthemum, is quiet and elegant, and it is perfect to be a robe for a cover. And this one, an azurite crane with ganoderma lucidum kesi, winter is coming, it is just a cloak I also brought some mink hair over here. Although the variety is good, it is not as stylish as Lao An’s mansion. I can use it to make a cloak. I can make a forehead at most. Fortunately, it is white and the size It can also be used…”
She rambled, Yu Tang didn’t know whether the style of the material was new or not, but the color of the material was either black and white or dark green, all of which could be worn during filial piety, which showed that she put her heart into it.
However, the old man said critically: “Didn’t I tell you that I have a niece here? Why are they all plain materials?”
Aunt Wang and Yu Tang were both stunned.
Lao An had already pulled the azurite-colored crane with the material of ganoderma lucidum kesi in disgust and said: “This pattern is too old. There is no pattern of four gentlemen or cherries, apricots and plums?”
Aunt Wang responded quickly. Hastily said: “Yes, yes, yes! I didn’t know Miss Yu’s preferences for a while, didn’t I dare to bring too many styles? I’ll have someone pick it up. I’ll be there early tomorrow morning.
” He pouted and said, “Wait for you, the day lily is cold. Mrs. Chen, you took my key to open the warehouse, and choose a few materials suitable for the little girl to choose for Miss Yu.”
Aunt Chen smiled .
Yingying went away in response.
Yu Tang sucked in a breath of cold air.
This is no ordinary reward.
Just as she was about to push, Lao An had already spoken: “I just like to dress up little girls. Mrs. Ji, you go and invite the eldest lady and a few cousins too, and make some clothes for one person.”
Yu Tang could not refuse any more, he smiled and thanked Lao An people, and made Lao An people happy: “Thanks to you, I can wear clothes made by the masters of Hangzhou City, and I can also be in the limelight this year. That’s it.” The
old man laughed, waved his hand indifferently, and called Yu Tang over to discuss the style of the clothes: “I remember last year’s 12 horse-faced skirts, are there still 12 this year? Aunt Wang said with a smile:
”
This year, the Yuehua skirt is fashionable. It is pleated like a skirt with a thread, but it is spread out like a skirt. This summer, almost every woman in Hangzhou has one. You are slender, so you will look good in it.”
She said, showing Lao An a skirt, but out of the corner of her eyes, she looked at Yu Tang.
I don’t know what kind of relatives this Miss Yu is from Lao’an. She made clothes for Lao’an for seven or eight years, and it was the first time she saw this young lady.
However, it looks so good!
Even the relatives from Lao’an’s mother’s family are all tall. This Miss Yu is neither tall nor short, and she doesn’t look like the relatives from Lao’an’s side.

Thinking of this, she gave her apprentice Zhou Niangzi a wink, signaling her to pay attention to Yu Tang’s preferences, and come back next time to recommend fabrics and styles according to Yu Tang’s preferences.
Lady Zhou nodded and set her eyes on Yu Tang.
Yu Tang didn’t care, thinking that since it was a reward from Lao’an, there was no need to tweak it.
When Aunt Chen opened Lao’an’s warehouse and brought a bunch of colorful materials over, she picked a plain hang silk that was pale and almost washed white, and said with a smile, “This material is beautiful. ”
Aunt Chen glanced at Yu Tang calmly, thinking in her heart, no wonder the third master wanted to look at this Miss Yu.
Although Lao An asked her to find some bright materials to make clothes for a few young ladies, but after all, she was still in the period of filial piety for the old lady, so she should not choose too bright fabrics, so she still took some water green , aqua blue plain fabric.
Unexpectedly, this Miss Yu is also a caring person. Instead of picking those Shu brocade and Kesi, she chose this Hangzhou silk named Bishuiqing.
Lao An obviously saw it, and smiled: “This material is too plain, it is not suitable for New Year’s wear, I think the beautiful blue is very good.”
