Delicate Flower - Chapter 169

[Chapter 168 Traces]

In addition to Gu Xi, there is also Gu Xi’s maid, Hexiang, who is anxious.

Since she can follow, she is Gu Xi’s confidant.

Gu Xi found a way to live in Pei’s house, she tried her best but got nothing, she knew better than anyone.

Seeing Gu Xi pacing back and forth, she was also worried, and couldn’t help but whisper: “Miss, I have found out what happened that day.”

Gu Xi was refreshed.

Overhearing the conversation between Lao An and Yu Tang, the intimacy revealed in her tone made her very uneasy, and what she said in just a few words made her even more alert. She sent He Xiang to inquire. Xiang has not responded to her.

“Then what’s going on? Tell me quickly!” Gu Xi stopped in front of He Xiang.

He Xiang hesitated for a moment, and felt that Gu Xi would be angry if she knew about this, but if she didn’t tell Gu Xi and made Gu Xi make a mistake in judgment, it would lead to more serious consequences.

She lowered her voice and said, “It’s the third master. Seeing that Miss Yu’s cloak is a little thin, she sent someone down the mountain to get a white mink fur cloak and gave it to Miss Yu.” Before

she could finish her words, Gu Xi’s expression was already pale. Big change.

She exclaimed, “What did you say?”

He Xiang pursed her lips uneasily, and continued in a low voice: “The third master was directly given to Miss Yu. Somehow, Lao An people knew, Lao An people It is said that the third master did not understand the common affairs before, so he treated Miss Yu as his own family, so he would not be polite.”

Gu Xi felt that it sounded like a knife was stabbing herself.

What is your own family?

What is informality?

It is so difficult for Pei Yan to pass the examinations of the two lists.

Pei Yan was clearly just looking at Miss Yu differently.

And the old man, what do you mean?

Covering up your ears and stealing bells to cover up peace?

This is the more you look at Miss Yu, the more satisfied you are, thinking of her as his son’s housemate, right?

Layers of unwillingness appeared in Gu Xi’s heart.

Miss Yu pretended to be deaf and dumb, why did she press her down without saying a word?

Gu Xi was thinking about whether to have a good relationship with the eldest wife, but now it seems that a fire is burning in her heart, not only igniting her Reason, but also let her breathless.

If Yu Tang wants to marry Pei Yan, it depends on whether she agrees or not!

When Gu Xi thought of this,

not only did his courage multiply, but he also gave birth to the courage to never turn back.

She smiled and said: “Let’s go to the conservatory to see orchids? I have heard from the elders in the family long ago that the eldest wife is a master of orchids and has liked to keep orchids since she was a child. Not to mention the capital, Guangzhou also has orchids. Many people like it, and some people have spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to find orchids raised by the eldest wife. Since we are here, we should take a look at it anyway, lest people ask, we don’t know if we ask three times.”

Usually this is this Reason, but isn’t it a special situation now?

He Xiang persuaded: “Why do you do this? The eldest son said, you come here, that is, let Lao An recognize his face, and other things, he has his own opinions. You, just stay at home and wait for news. That’s

fine.”

After all, it’s too active, and it’s too frivolous to say it.

Gu Xi has an idea, and won’t change her mind just because of a few words from her confidant.

She responded in a distracted way, but in her mind she was thinking about finding an excuse to go to the conservatory often so that she could meet the eldest wife.

This opportunity is coming soon.

Zhang Shao was sent away, and Lao An rested in his yard for a few days. Yu Tang, Gu Xi and several young ladies from the Pei family didn’t have to go to Lao An to say hello and arrange their own affairs.

The second miss and Gu Xi often talk about themselves together, the third and fourth misses practice calligraphy together, and the fifth miss comes to Yu Tang every day to play and learn to make silk flowers with Yu Tang.

And the fifth lady seems to be very talented in this aspect. She did it in a good manner from the beginning, and she also boldly matched colors. Unlike Yu Tang, she tried to make imitation flowers, but made all kinds of silk flowers with contrasting colors. , and once made a peony flower that was half pink and half pink.

Yu Tang was stunned, but had to admit that such a silk flower looked a different kind of beauty.

The fifth lady happily gave it to Lao An.

The old man praised the fifth lady and gave the fifth lady some snacks, but did not let her speak in his yard.

Yu Tang felt that something was wrong.

But because of living in the inner courtyard, there is no way to know what happened.

People are most afraid of the unknown, so she couldn’t help but feel anxious and asked about Pei Yan’s whereabouts.

Fifth Miss didn’t know, and didn’t know why she asked these questions.

Aunt Ji, on the other hand, whispered to her: “The third master is hiding in the mountains, and no one wants to see him. The Lao An people even spared him from morning and evening. I heard from my relatives that it is rumored that the third master is recuperating in another hospital. .”

Aunt Ji’s in-law is the shopkeeper Tong Da.

Yu Tang let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as Pei Yan is safe here, the day will surely go on safely.

At this time, Mrs. Shen was coughing continuously for some reason, and asked a doctor, saying that she lived in the house where the ground dragon burned, and it was too dry.

Gu Xi was secretly delighted, and proposed to buy some money oranges, and said: “The money oranges have the effect of relieving cough. Now the weather is getting colder and colder. Although everyone can go out more often to reduce coughs, the cold and the heat can reduce the cough. It’s easy to catch cold. It’s better to boil money oranges and drink it often, which can relieve cough and nourish lungs.”

Lao An people are used to staying in the house where the earth dragon has been burned in winter. Among the juniors, only the fifth young lady has been in office with the second wife since she was a child. In the winter, the brazier is the companion. This spring, I had a cough because of it. The earth dragon was extinguished very quickly, and the fifth lady’s cough was soon cured.

This time, although everyone knew about this situation and took it to heart, they were afraid that she would be cold, so they carefully observed it first. Fortunately, Fifth Young Lady hasn’t coughed yet.

Lao An felt sorry for Fifth Young Miss, so he nodded and agreed immediately, and asked Aunt Chen to send someone down the mountain to the back garden of Pei’s house to bring a lot of money over and keep them next to the conservatory.

Gu Xi often goes there to pick golden oranges.

Aunt Chen met Gu Xi, whose face was flushed, and said repeatedly: “Just instruct the maid to pick it up if you need anything, how can you come over in person?”

Gu Xi smiled and wiped her hands: “After all, Mrs. Shen is my elder, I It’s also right to be filial to her. Besides, I’m not very used to the earth dragon in the house, it’s too hot.”

Aunt Chen admired Gu Xi very much, and got along well with Mrs. Shen, she couldn’t help laughing when she heard the words: “You have a heart. I’ll let them burn you? The earth dragon in the house should burn some charcoal.”

“No, no, no.” Gu Xi repeatedly stopped, “It’s too cold in the room, and Mrs. Shen will feel unbearably cold. ”

Ms. Chen didn’t know what to say, but in the evening, she brought her some loquat paste.

Gu Xi smiled and gave it to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen was alone in the room, looking at Chengchen above her head, wondering what she was thinking.

Gu Xi didn’t bother her either, and just left after delivering the things.

The next day, when she went to pick money oranges, she met the eldest wife as she wished.

The eldest lady looked a little weaker than the last time she saw her, and greeted her politely with a smile.

Gu Xi socialized with her a few words, praised the orchid she had raised, and then dispersed.

Lao An immediately got the news, and his face sank all of a sudden.

Unlike Mrs. Shen.

The eldest wife wants face, so she may not say anything when she meets Mrs. Shen, but Gu Xi has a brother who is a disciple of Sun Gao, the censor of the left capital of the Imperial Court, and the eldest wife will only give birth to a lot of thoughts.

She asked, “Who put those money oranges in the greenhouse?”

Aunt Chen said uneasily: “It’s me! I saw that there was an open space over there, so I let people put them there. Move somewhere…”

“No need!” Lao An said solemnly, “Only a thousand days can be a thief, and there is no one who can prevent thieves for a thousand days. It’s going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so just let her go.”

Aunt Chen didn’t dare to say anything, but she reminded Gu Xi again in private.

Gu Xi achieved his goal, pursed his lips and smiled, went to see Lao An, and accompanies Lao An.

The old man laughed and said: “What does this have to do with you? It’s just that the eldest lady didn’t like to be lively, and the family seldom went to that place. Since you can chat, you can accompany her to talk. Okay.”

Gu Xi agreed, but never set foot in the conservatory since then.

The old man nodded secretly, and said to the second wife: “It’s a sensible one.” The second wife followed the words of the

old

man and smiled: “Their family is also very complicated, and they must have experienced a lot of these things since childhood.”

He sighed and said nothing more.

These words somehow reached Gu Xi’s ears, and there was a bit of a smile between her brows and eyes.

He Xiang was puzzled and said, “Is this all it takes?”

“This is all it takes.” Gu Xi said, “Now the Pei family lacks a clan wife, a daughter-in-law who is obedient and capable of housekeeping. It can leave this impression on Lao An people. That’s it. After that, it’s my brother’s business.”

After several days of heavy snow, the sky cleared up, making people’s mood brighter.

Several young ladies of the Pei family couldn’t sit still, and ran to Meilin to enjoy the snow and plums together.

This time, instead of writing poetry, he used tea instead of wine and sat cross-legged in a warm pavilion.

Yu Tang remembered the last misunderstanding, and this time came out wearing the cloak given by Pei Yan.

Although Lao An didn’t say anything, he felt that Yu Tang was dressed beautifully like this, and he was very happy when he saw Yu Tang’s eyes.

Gu Xi sneered in his heart.

There are new guests in the courtyard.

Mrs. Yi’s wife, grandmother of the second and third misses.

The second lady hid in the room and did not want to see anyone.

The fourth and fifth misses whispered beside Yu Tang, “Are the people who meet each other about to go up the mountain?”

“Why don’t we meet each other in the temple? That’s how they act in the play?”

“It’s such a cold day, UU Read www.sonicmtl.com and go to the temple, what if you catch a cold?”

“Then let’s wait until spring to see each other! The second sister is so beautiful, who can’t you want to marry!”

“You are talking nonsense again.” Fourth Miss Said, “Even if the second sister wants to get married, she has to be seen by others. I heard from my grandmother that the son of that family will go to Beijing to participate in the competition next year, and he will go to Beijing before the New Year. Now, let’s make a marriage contract.” The

fifth lady curled her lips, disapproving: “If their family really wanted to marry the second sister, what would they have done?”

“Why are you always arguing with me?” The fourth lady said displeasedly, “People I used to be in office with my father and brother, and I just came back to my hometown. If it wasn’t for a blind date with my second sister, I would have gone directly to the capital.”

Back to his hometown?

Is that the son of a nearby family?

I don’t know who the second lady is on a blind date?

Yu Tang was very curious.
