Delicate Flower - Chapter 183

[Chapter 182 Out of the Game]

Everyone immediately stopped the topic and waited for Gu Xi to walk in with smiles.

Gu Xi wore a pair of blue and green kesi armor, her jet-black hair was casually tied into a bun, and a gilt-inlaid pearl hairpin was inserted. Her cheeks were white and rosy, her eyes were bright, and she was very energetic.

Pei Lao’an looked straight and nodded, smiled: “It looks like you are in good health!”

Gu Xi smiled and saluted Pei and Yi Laoan, and said, “Thanks to the two Lao’an people, I have already It’s alright

.”

Yi Laoan also looked very relieved, saying “that’s fine” repeatedly, and hurriedly asked Gu Xi to sit down and talk, and said, “You can’t be careless when you’re healthy, you need to take care of it for a few more days. .”

Gu Xi thanked the old man Yi, sat down with Yu Tang, and the second wife came over with a few of the second young lady.

The house suddenly became lively.

When the fourth lady saw that the second wife and the fifth lady were talking in front of Pei Laoan, she quietly waved to Yu Tang.

Yu Tang looked around and saw that Gu Xi and the second and third misses were also leaning in front of Mrs. Yi. After listening to the second and fifth young ladies talking, she walked over quietly and asked the fourth young lady in a low voice, “Why? Are you ready

?”

Fourth Young Lady whispered to her proudly: “Second sister and Young Master Yang’s marriage is going to be settled – the Yang family will send someone to discuss the engagement with our family tomorrow!

” Yu Tang wanted to pinch her face.

“You are so well-informed!” She followed Fourth Young Lady’s words.

Fourth Miss was even more proud, raised her chin, and said, “Yesterday, the second sister and the third sister whispered, I heard it.”

Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled.

Fourth Miss added: “Actually, it wasn’t the second sister who took a fancy to Young Master Yang, but the third uncle who took a fancy to Young Master Yang.”

Pei Yan still cares about these matters?

How did he know whether Young Master Yang and the Second Miss were a good match?

Yu Tang raised his eyebrows involuntarily.

Miss Fourth thought she didn’t believe it, so she hurriedly said, “It’s true! I didn’t lie to you. Young Master Yang knew that the third uncle was also in Ku’an Temple, so he went to see the third uncle first. The third uncle talked to him for a quarter of an hour. Later, the third uncle sent someone to ask how the third uncle Yang Gongzi was, and the third uncle said that his knowledge was not bad, so the second sister agreed.”

This

is too rash, right?

Back then, Li Duan was also very good at reading, and he was not a scumbag!

The villain in Yu Tang’s heart wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn’t help but look at the second lady.

The second lady didn’t know when she talked to Pei Laoan, but Yu Tang only heard her say: “Don’t worry, I will definitely help the third sister to make the incense in this matter.” After speaking, she also pulled Gu Gu. Xi, “If you can’t trust me, don’t you still have Sister Gu? When there is Sister Gu to help us, why don’t you worry?”

Pei Laoan laughed and said, “The Chinese New Year is coming soon, you Gu Could it be that my sister can always live in our house? You only know that your father and mother hold you in the palm of your hand, thinking about you all the time, don’t you think that your sister’s parents don’t care about her?”

There was silence in the room. .

Pei Lao’an never mentioned Gu Xi’s words of going home for the Chinese New Year.

This is the first time.

Gu Xi’s face was burning, and she felt that Pei Lao’an made her feel ashamed and angry as if she was chasing her, but she couldn’t say a word.

She stood there at a loss, and stammered: “I, I plan to go back in the next two days. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you with the second lady…” The

second lady also felt very embarrassed and was busy. He took Gu Xi’s arm and said apologetically, “Oh, I forgot about the Chinese New Year. Sister

Gu

is in our house, just like our sister. It would be nice if I could come to the house often in the future.”

Xi couldn’t help but look at Pei Lao’an.

Pei Lao’an smiled more kindly and said, “It’s fate that you sisters can play together. If Miss Gu is free, just come to visit often, they are all people who like to be lively, and they will definitely welcome Miss Gu. ”

That’s right, that’s right.” Second Miss repeated.

However, Gu Xi managed to control the expression on his face without showing any shock or disappointment.

In the past, when she wanted to talk to Yu Tang, Pei Laoan made them into “Miss Gu” and “Miss Yu” with a single word.

Now, Pei Lao’an has offered to make her and the ladies of Pei’s house sisters.

If it were an ordinary person, eight or nine out of ten would think that he had moved Laoan Pei, and Laoan Pei was showing her favor.

But she is not an ordinary person. She grew up in a complex environment like Gu’s family, and some things can be seen without anyone’s mentioning – obviously, she seems to be closer to the Pei family.

In secret, Pei Laoan made her and Pei Yan separated by generations.

Is she kicked out by Pei Laoan after Pei Yan?

But why?

What did she do wrong?

Let their mother and son look down on her?

Gu Xi couldn’t figure it out, but his face was as white as a piece of stubble.

The second lady couldn’t help worrying and said, “Sister Gu, you, what’s wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you?”

Gu Xi shook her head, forcing herself to smile, and said warmly, “I’m fine!” The

second lady looked at her.

Looking at her face hesitantly said: “But your face…”

Gu Xi knew that she couldn’t be completely silent, she hurriedly said: “Does my face look bad? Maybe I was too tired yesterday.”

Although the second lady became suspicious, she and Gu Xi were on good terms, and naturally she would not let her down on such an occasion, so she changed the subject with a smile and made fun of the third lady: “Yesterday, the third sister made me quarrel with me all night. She hardly slept much. She stayed on the desk in the middle of the night and wrote for a long time, and she didn’t know what to write. When I asked her, she just said that she wanted to write down the process of making incense first, and then go home to check the book. But I don’t think I’m sure. Sister Gu, when are you going back? I want to take advantage of your stay at our house these few days. Please help me and the third sister to make some Buddhist incense first. What do you think? ”

Gu Xi doesn’t want to cheap Yu Tang at all.

In her opinion, even if the Pei family did not publicize Yu Tang’s contribution to this matter, in the minds of the female family members of the Pei family, the work of Ruo’an Temple was Yu Tang’s credit.

Anything she does related to Ku’an Temple is putting gold on Yu Tang’s face.

“I’m going back in the next two days,” she declined politely, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in time. Besides, I’ve seen the incense recipe Miss Yu brought out. I need a lot of spices, and it’s hard to gather these spices in a while. Qi…”

Both the second and third misses showed disappointment.

However, Yu Tang felt that it was fine with or without Gu Xi.

Making a Buddha incense or something is a fun thing for the little daughter’s family. It is not an easy thing to really sell.

Just controlling the cost is not something that these boudoir girls can do.

If, as Pei Lao’an said, the nuns and lay monks at Ku’an Temple are mainly responsible for making incense, then the sale of Buddhist incense must be managed by an experienced shopkeeper.

She stood beside her without saying a word.

Pei Laoan and Yi Laoan looked at each other, and then Pei Laoan smiled and said to the second and third misses, “I’m not in a hurry. I have sent someone to tell your third uncle. , Your third uncle said, this is a good thing, he will find a way to help you. You also know that your third uncle always counts his words. Since he agreed, he will definitely make arrangements for this matter. You Just make incense according to Miss Yu’s incense recipe, it’s good to make it, but if you can’t make it, it’s just embarrassing in front of your third uncle, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Being humiliated is already the most embarrassing thing!

Yu Tang was embarrassed.

Fifth Miss simply said loudly: “Grandmother, you just said that you will leave the incense making to us, why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye?” She said, went up to hold the hands of Second and Third Miss, and vowed to be authentic. , “Let’s talk about it, we will definitely be able to make a good-smelling, unique Buddha incense.”

Pei Laoan, Yi Laoan and the second wife all laughed, and Yi Laoan was even more spoiled Tun said: “Okay, okay, okay. You are all good children with ambition. If you can really make a unique and delicious Buddha incense, I will give each of you a bag of silver coins that go well with everything.”

“Okay .

!” Fourth Young Lady said happily, as if the bag of silver coins had fallen into her pocket without any suspense.

Everyone was amused by her and laughed again.

Gu Xi, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said: “Two Lao An people, I will not be involved in making incense. I think I will pack up my luggage in the past two days and go back to Hangzhou City. If you count the days, my brother should also have a letter. Come and ask me about the Chinese New Year, if I go back late, the letter to my brother will not be able to be delivered to the capital a year ago.”

In December, the major post stations began to be overcrowded, and everyone was busy with the New Year. matter.

Pei Lao’an smiled and said, “What you said makes sense.” Then she asked Aunt Chen to get the almanac and said, “It’s not advisable to go out tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is a good day. It just so happens that we are going back to the house soon. The aunt told the stewards and asked them to help arrange a boat to send Miss Gu back to Hangzhou City. What about us…” Pei Laoan turned over the almanac again and said, “We will return to the house in six days.”

Gu Xi’s heart was ashes.

The fifth lady shouted: “Are we going back to the mansion so soon? What about our Buddha incense? Sister Gu is home, and Sister Yu is also home…”

Pei Laoan laughed: “Miss Yu I live in Lin’an City, if you want to ask Miss Yu about making incense, you can send someone to pick up Miss Yu to go home, what a fuss.”

The fifth lady blushed and said, “Didn’t I think that Sister Yu is going to celebrate the New Year too?” The

fourth lady said cleverly: “The third uncle didn’t say that he would have Buddha incense tomorrow, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com We can be slow. Come on. I heard from my mother’s companion that business is at its best when the New Year is over. We can wait until the New Year is over.” The

third lady retorted: “My aunt is married to a silk shop, which is open for business. In spring, everyone is going to make single clothes, of course it is the best time for business. But the business of Buddha incense is the best before the fifteenth, and everyone must go to

the temple to worship Buddha.” Several children argued.

Pei Laoan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said, “You guys are so cruel. Before this Buddha incense was made, you started thinking about making money. If you were to manage the shop, those big shopkeepers would have to be forced to jump into the river by you. No!”

Several juniors smiled embarrassedly.

Yu Tang was thinking in her heart that she would go down the mountain in six days, so she should be able to go home after staying in Pei’s other courtyard for at most one or two days?

She misses her mother, her grandfather, her brother, and her aunt… and even misses Mrs. Chen who wears an apron and cooks in the kitchen every day.
