Since Yu Tang knew that Miss Fifth couldn't play in the snow, of course he had to take care of her. It's just that this way, she doesn't have much time to play on her own. I had been naughty with a few little girls all morning, and by the time I rested, she was already sweating through her clothes.

In such weather, in such a state, it is easy to get cold.

Yu Tang decided to go back to his house to change his clothes first.

But the second wife told her: "It's okay, don't worry." Go back and take a shower, dry your hair, and come back again, we'll be waiting for you to have lunch. ”

It's sticky, and it's nice to be able to take a shower.

Yu Tang said goodbye to his second wife, but met Aunt Ji halfway through.

"Miss Yu!" Aunt Ji stepped forward with a smile and saluted her, and said, "The porter said that you sent a letter from home. I went to the concierge just now to get a letter, and I was about to send it to you! ”

Yu Tang was taken aback.

It can't be something happening at home, right?

She thanked Aunt Ji, but she couldn't help but think about it in a mess.

Mom's medicine has not been broken, her health is getting better and better, she didn't get sick last year, and she has taken care of it as carefully as in previous years, so there should be no changes? Sister-in-law's aunt and cousin treat her as if she is a treasure in the palm of her hand, and the whole family revolves around her, and Sister-in-law's body and bones are very healthy, and there shouldn't be anything to do...... Why did the family write to her?

She hurriedly resigned from her aunt, and returned to her place of residence in three steps and two steps, and couldn't wait to open the letter.

After just one glance, she relented.

It turned out that Zhang Gongzi painted ten paintings, and her cousin couldn't make up his mind, so he transferred the paintings to her and asked her to look at them and get an idea.

Yu Tang carefully looked at Zhang Gongzi's painting. It is worthy of the aesthetics of the literati, although Liao Liao has several brushstrokes, it has both form and spirit, elegant and interesting.

She immediately replied to the lobby brother with a letter, asking her to pay according to the price she had agreed before, and said: "Even if the merchants who ordered the goods before are not eye-catching, they can stay for other purposes." ”

Shuangtao was ordered by her to ask the porter to help deliver the letter, and Yu Tang was served by the catkins to take a bath.

After a while, Double Peach returned.

There was snow piled up on the wooden shoes.

It looks like the snow is getting heavier.

Yu Tang said: "The letter was sent?" ”

Shuangtao took off his wooden shoes and said with a smile: "It's sent out." I also gave the little guy twenty pennies. ”

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, opened the jewelry box and chose the right jewelry to wear.

Shuangtao came over to help, chatting with her: "When I came back, I met Mrs. Shen's mother-in-law, who also went to deliver the letter, but only rewarded the little girl with ten cents." I thought I'd wait for her to come back with me, but seeing her like this, I wouldn't have said anything more to her. ”

Yu Tang picked out the jewelry, and said, "Mrs. Shen also asked people to deliver the letter?" Do you know who it was given to? ”

Shuangtao helped her insert the selected silk flowers into her hair bun, and said, "It seems to be sent to Hangzhou City." Because I heard the little guy ask the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Shen, if the letter is sent by the Pei family, the letter can only be sent to the shopkeeper Tong first, and then brought by the shopkeeper Tong when he goes to Hangzhou City. If the letter was sent by the government, they would help her deliver it to the post station and give her a slip. Mrs. Shen was probably in a hurry, so she asked them to help send it to the post station. After speaking, she complained a little and said, "It snows so much, and the post station is far away, but the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Shen only rewarded the little girl with ten cents......

Yu Tang listened unhappily and said: "The situation of each family is different, maybe the twenty yuan we give is very small in the eyes of those little guys." Besides, we are now in the Pei family, you have to be cautious! ”

Shuang Tao blushed and answered, and when she finished cleaning up, she went to Lao Anren.

The fourth, third, and fifth ladies all arrived, and they all took a shower and changed their clothes, and were sitting around Lao Anren talking.

Seeing Yu Tang coming, everyone got up and said hello.

Gu Xi and the second lady also came over.

Both of them have been refreshed.

Everyone laughed again.

Lao Anren smiled and instructed Aunt Chen: "Since everyone is here, let's set the meal!" ”

Aunt Chen responded.

Gu Xi stepped forward and hugged Lao Anren.

Lao Anren smiled and patted Gu Xi's hand, supported by her, and Yu Tang went to the hall in a few huddles.

Or maybe it's cold, and there is an extra dish of clear soup mutton on the table today.

Not to mention that the mutton did not have a trace of peculiar smell, and the soup was unexpectedly mellow.

Yu Tang drank two bowls in a row, and his body was warm, so he put down his chopsticks.

The fourth lady proposed that everyone go to the warm pavilion in the afternoon.

Lao Anren smiled and instructed Aunt Ji: "Go and talk to the second wife, let her stop being busy in the afternoon and accompany them." ”

Aunt Ji smiled and should be.

Everyone was very happy, and invited Lao Anren to go with everyone in the afternoon.

Lao Anren smiled lovingly: "I have old arms and legs, and I can't stand your toss like this, so you let me go and let me rest at home." ”

A few juniors couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Lao Anren looked at it and couldn't bear it, and said, "That's good." Everybody go back and take a nap, and I'll check it out in the afternoon. ”

Everyone was happy again, for fear of delaying Lao Anren's nap, so they stood up and said goodbye.

Lao An asked Aunt Chen to send them out.

Yu Tang and Gu Xi both live in the back of the main house of the Lao An people, and they have to pass through an alley, while several young ladies of the Pei family live on the east side of the main house of the Lao An people, and the two groups of people go out of the main house of the Lao An people, Yu Tang and Gu Xi are on the same road, and several young ladies of the Pei family are on the same road. But when she got out of Lao Anren's main room, the second lady invited Gu Xi: "Does my sister want to come and sit with me?" ”

Gu Xi showed regret and said, "I have to go back to see Mrs. Shen." Otherwise, the second lady will come to my room and sit down. I heard from the little maid in your house that there was a large plum forest in the back mountain, and I wondered if I should wait until it snowed to pick some plum blossoms for incense. I didn't expect it to snow last night. I'm also going to invite a few younger sisters and Miss Yu to enjoy the plum blossoms together! ”

Several young ladies of the Pei family all lit up when they heard this, and the fourth young lady said with interest, vigor, and vigor: "Sister Gu, I want to go." Don't forget to call me when you go to pick plums. ”

The fifth lady also shouted: "I'm going too, I'm going too." ”

Gu Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't know if the plum blossoms in the house can be picked?" If I can pick it, I will definitely take you with me when the time comes. ”

The third lady was also very interested, and said, "It should be possible to pick it." Let's ask the second aunt later. ”

The fourth lady nodded again and again, and the fifth lady took the initiative to ask Ying to ask her mother.

Everyone laughed and settled the matter, and then they dispersed.

Yu Tang saw that the second miss and Gu Xi were talking quietly side by side, knowing that Gu Xi wanted to break the Pei family one by one, so that the people of the Pei family would have a good impression of her. She had no intention of getting involved, so she slowed down and gradually fell behind them.

Who knew that when he got out of the alley, he met a young guy who had just left his head, and when he met, he saluted Yu Tang and asked her: "Are you Miss Yu?" ”

Yu Tang was surprised that he should "yes".

The little guy smiled: "The third master went up the mountain and knew that Miss Yu was going to deliver the letter, so he asked the porter to hand over the letter to Mr. Hu, and let Mr. Hu personally send it to your home." Mr. Hu is afraid that you will be worried, so he specially asked me to tell you. ”

Yu Tang felt surprised and delighted inexplicably, and said, "The third master is here?" ”

"Hmm." The little guy said, "I just went up the mountain and lived in Xilu Xiyuan." I should go to greet Lao An people later. ”

According to the rules of the Pei family, he should not reveal the whereabouts of Master Pei San, but as soon as Master Pei San went up the mountain, he asked Manager Hu to help Yu Tang deliver a letter, and Manager Hu also specially asked him to come and talk to Miss Yu, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Yu Tang was a distinguished guest of Pei's Mansion, and he felt that he should also be like Manager Hu and ask for a favor in front of Miss Yu.

Yu Tang smiled and rewarded him with a handful of copper coins, and then he and Shuangtao continued to walk forward. As a result, as soon as she looked up, she saw Gu Xi and the second lady standing in front fixedly, looking at her intently.

She touched her face for some reason and said strangely, "What's wrong?" But what's the matter? ”

The second lady frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Gu Xi.

"Nothing!" Gu Xi smiled, "Just walking, I suddenly found that you were gone, and we were waiting for you here." ”

The second lady shouted "Sister Gu" in surprise when she heard this.

Gu Xi pulled the second lady by the hand, and said to Yu Tang with a smile: "When are you going to go out?" Shall we call you out then? Let's go to the warm pavilion together. "I diverted the conversation.

Yu Tang knew Gu Xi too well.

thinks a lot, has a lot of scruples, and has to turn a few corners when she says something, so that the obedient person can only understand what she really means after thinking about it.

In the past, everyone was a concubine, and she didn't look up to see her, there was no way, but now that the two of them are going their own ways, she doesn't bother to guess Gu Xi's intentions. As long as Gu Xi didn't ask in front of her, she would treat it as if she didn't know. Let Gu Xi think about it in private.

Thinking of this, Yu Tang couldn't help but think of Gu Xi spinning around the room with an anxious face in her mind, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she laughed.

"Okay!" She looked at Gu Xi, "When the time comes, I'll wait for you to call me, and let's go to the warm pavilion together." ”

"Then it's decided!" Gu Xi said, dragging the second lady and leaving.

Yu Tang smiled and returned to the house with Shuangpeach.

The second young lady was not as calm as Gu Xi.

As soon as Yu Tang's figure left their sight, the second lady couldn't wait to say to Gu Xi: "Why didn't Sister Gu let me ask her?" How could she be taken care of by Mr. Hu? Even if Yu Xiucai and Manager Hu are good friends, she lives in the courtyard of the inner house, what does Manager Hu need to help her out? What the hell is she going to do? ”

They didn't hear what the little guy said, and they didn't understand it very clearly, so they were even more puzzled.

Gu Xi's eyes lowered, thinking of Yu Tang's family background, and said softly: "I don't know how Miss Yu got the favor of Lao An?" It stands to reason that the Yu family has no relationship with your mansion, how could she go to Lao An so easily? ”

The second young lady was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Xi was reasonable.

She said hesitantly, "It seems that I heard that her silk flowers are doing well...... But no matter how good her craftsmanship is, can she be better than the embroidery girl at home? Speaking of this, she was stunned and said, "Sister Gu, don't you say that I haven't paid attention yet, Yu, Miss Yu seems to have popped up all of a sudden!" ”
