Chapter 158: Laughter

Gu Xi thought of finding someone to investigate Yu Tang.

A native of Lin'an, the daughter of the Xiucai family, there is only one shop and one hundred acres of water at home, and three or four servants.

She used to think that the Yu family was low-key and introverted and didn't want to cause trouble, but now it seems that she is probably really poor.

Gu Xi's fair-skinned and slender fingers gently stroked the bright and dust-free black lacquer tabletop, smiled silently, and then turned around and said to Yu Tang in a warm voice: "Miss Yu, then I'll go first." When Mrs. Shen is better, I will visit again. ”

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, and didn't even ask Mrs. Shen how it was, just watched Shuangtao send Gu Xi's master and servant out.

Then Yu Tang heard the fifth lady beside him sigh almost inaudibly.

Was Miss Fifth nervous when facing Gu Xi?

Yu Tang looked at Miss Wu in confusion.

Fifth Miss's face immediately turned red, and she muttered: "Miss Gu, it's very powerful, I can do anything, I'm cowardly......"

Does that make her feel stressed?

Yu Tang endured it so that he didn't laugh out loud.

Gu Xi in his previous life was also like this, as long as he appeared, he would become the focus of attention. In this life, even if she is restrained in front of the Pei family, the things engraved in her bones are not so easy to change, if she really asks for something, I am afraid that she never dreamed that those things she is proud of will become an obstacle for her to integrate into the Pei family, right?

Yu Tang just wanted to look up and laugh.

She comforted Miss Fifth in a bright mood: "It's okay, it's okay." After all, there are a few people like Miss Gu, we are all ordinary people, just watch from afar. ”

The fifth lady nodded again and again, looked at Yu Tang's gaze and got a little closer, and said, "Miss Gu has a good time with the second sister and the fourth sister, and the third sister likes to play with me." ”

Yu Tang thought of the high-spirited second miss and the flexible fourth miss.

In other words, at present, Gu Xi has enveloped the second and fourth misses.

She was a little surprised.

She thought that the self-disciplined and courteous third miss would like Gu Xi more, and the arrogant second miss would compete with Gu Xi.

It can be seen that she also has times when she looks away.

Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled, returned to the inner room, and saw that the maids had already made the bed, and she was also a little tired, so she asked Miss Five, "Do you want to rest with me?" We'll go together to say hello to Lao An later. ”

The fifth lady thought about it and readily agreed.

The maid who served beside Miss Five came in to remove Miss Five's makeup and smoke the quilt.

After a busy day, the two lay down side by side.

The little maidens put down their gauze tents.

The fifth lady saw that the top of the gauze tent was an ordinary white silver bar tent that had been hung here, and she couldn't help but say, "Sister Yu, what color do you like?" I'll ask Ah Shan to bring you one. I have a lot of gauze tents and flower tents there, and I will give you one. ”

"No need." Yu Tang understood what she meant.

In the previous life, when the young lady of the Lin family came to the Li family, not to mention the tent bedding, even the toilet would only be brought by herself.

She doesn't have so much exquisiteness.

Of course, it's also because she can't pay attention to it.

And whether it is in her previous life or in this life, she has no habit of slapping her swollen face and becoming fat.

"I'm just staying here for a few days, and it's too much trouble to get around." She smiled sideways and looked at Miss Five, "Besides, I think even the things I brought from home are similar to the things that your family uses to decorate the guest rooms, so don't toss our little house." ”

Seeing that she was sincere, Miss Fifth laughed quietly and said, "Sister Yu, then I'll give you a stove, right?" It was sent by my aunt from Jinling, and I thought it was the most fashionable appearance in Jinling. ”

Yu Tang remembered that the brother of the second wife's maiden family seemed to be an official in Jinling.

Seeing that Miss Fifth said sincerely, it was not good to ruin the little girl's interest, so she thanked her with a smile: "This is good! It's okay to say that your family burns the earth dragon, when I was at home, I didn't even practice big characters, and my hand was frozen after a while. ”

The fifth lady obviously had never lived in a house without a earth dragon, and she didn't doubt it at all when she said this, and she was secretly happy that she had sent the right thing.

The two of them laughed in a low voice and talked for a long time, and their sleepiness gradually hit, and they both fell asleep slowly.

When the two of them were woken up, it was almost the time when Shen Zheng, and the fifth lady hurriedly sat up and said anxiously: "It's over, it's over, it's late, it's late!" ”

Ah Shan is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who is said to have served by her side since she was born. In the end, she was older than Miss Five, she smiled unhurriedly: "Miss Five, don't worry, it's just right to get up and dress and freshen up at this time." ”

The fifth lady glanced at the side, and saw Yu Tang's calm face, she relaxed, stroked her chest and smiled at Yu Tang, explaining: "I, I'm always confused, and I've been ......late several times."

After all, Yu Tang is not really a seventeen-year-old girl, if it was this time in her previous life, she might feel ridiculous when she looked at Miss Five, but at this time now, she only felt cute when she looked at Miss Five.

"You take your time." She comforted Miss Five, "If it's late, won't I still be with you?" ”

The fifth lady smiled shyly, and while letting Ah Shan serve her to get up, she asked Ah Shan, "Are the sisters here?" ”

Ah Shan smiled: "Just went up the mountain." At this time, it is estimated that it has not yet settled down. When the young lady cleaned up, she just went to greet Lao Anren together. ”

Miss Five's expression became more relaxed.

Yu Tang was secretly strange.

Looking at the appearance of the second wife, she is a very good talker, why did she come to Miss Five, but she looked like she was being controlled very strictly?

They dressed up and went out, and as Ah Shan said, they met the other three young ladies of the Pei family who came to greet Lao An at the door of the main hall.

The second lady was still as proud as before, she wore a honey-colored but silver-red gown, and held a gilded plum blossom pattern handstove in her hand, and her head was raised high when she looked at people.

The third lady wore a moon-white armor inlaid with gray squirrel hair, and a white rabbit fur hand cage, which was fluffy, and a glance could warm people's hearts.

When she saw Yu Tang and Miss Five, she shouted "Sister Yu" and "Fifth Sister" in a proper manner.

The fourth lady ran over excitedly, took the fifth lady's hand, and after saying hello to Yu Tang, she began to chatter about the preparation of New Year's goods at home. The pale green cloak looks particularly vibrant on this winter day.

Either the people in the house heard the movement, or there were already little maids who had gone in before, Aunt Chen came out with a smile and lifted the curtain for them, and said to them: "Lao An people counted a few young ladies should have arrived, and just ordered us to cook osmanthus nectar and come in, and a few young ladies came over." ”

Everyone entered the house with a giggle.

The fourth lady let her maid help her take off her cloak, and laughed loudly: "It's better to be an uncle and grandmother, I know that we want to drink osmanthus nectar." It's amazing! Pinch your fingers and know we're coming. ”

Lao An was amused.

The fourth lady pulled the fifth lady and ran to Lao Anren to salute Lao Anren.

Lao Anren accepted her gift and gave her a jade artifact to play with.

The fourth lady was so happy that her eyes smiled like crescent moons.

Yu Tang thought that the second miss would compete with the fourth miss for favor, but who knew that the second miss didn't say anything, and together with her and the third miss, she stepped forward to salute Lao Anren.

Lao Anren looked at the group of beautiful little sisters in front of him, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and said: "It's almost the New Year, let you go up the mountain briskly, you are not allowed to run around, otherwise I will never take you out to play next time!" ”

Everyone thanked each other and sat around Lao Anren with a soft smile.

Lao An asked what he was doing these days, and asked how he practiced that word, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and warm.

The corner of Yu Tang's eyes couldn't help but look at the second lady who was sitting quietly next to her a few times.

The fourth lady didn't know when she came to her ear, and whispered: "Sister Yu, don't be surprised, the second sister is about to leave the cabinet, and she is embarrassed to play with us." ”

Yu Tang suddenly realized, but was glared at fiercely by the second miss who heard the fourth lady speak.

She had no choice but to smile apologetically at the second miss.

The second lady turned her face away and ignored her.

Yu Tang couldn't cry or laugh.

Aunt Ji came in and asked Lao An to show if she could have dinner.

Lao Anren waved his hand and said, "Set the meal!" The little girls must be hungry. Then he said to them gently, "Eight treasures of rice were made in the kitchen today." ”

Is there a little girl who doesn't like sweets?

Several people cheered.

The fourth lady also asked Lao Anren very lively: "Uncle Grandmother, can we eat dragon beard candy and gourd cake tomorrow?" ”

Lao Anren smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you make it in the kitchen later." ”

The little girls cheered again.

Everyone was happy, and a little maid came to say, "Mrs. Shen and Miss Gu are here." ”

Everyone was stunned.

The smile on Lao Anren's face faded a little.

"Invite them in!" Lao An is humane.

Aunt Chen lightly went and led the two in.

Mrs. Shen looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness, but Gu Xi was radiant, wearing a blue-faced Hangzhou silk gown, lined with her picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

Yu Tang's heart sank, and he quickly glanced at Lao Anren.

Lao Anren's face could not see love and hatred, and he asked Mrs. Shen calmly: "Didn't you say that you should be sick and recuperate?" How do you get out of bed? You okay? ”

"Thank you, Lao An." Mrs. Shen smiled weakly, "It's just an upset stomach, and it's not a serious illness." Just take a few pairs of medicines. ”

Lao An said: "It's better to have a good rest." Age is not forgiving, you are also a person who sits on the four and five, you can't compare to the past, and you can't come by temperament. ”

Mrs. Shen's face changed slightly.

Gu Xi hurriedly said, "Aunt Shen, I'll help you sit down and talk!" ”

Aunt Chen looked like she was playing a round game, and immediately smiled and moved an embroidery pier behind Mrs. Shen, and said, "You sit!" ”

Mrs. Shen sat down with a pale face, glanced at the young ladies of the Pei family, and said, "Didn't I hear that several young ladies had gone up the mountain and came to say hello?" ”

Lao An said softly or hardly: "You are an elder, even if you want to say hello, they will go to greet you, where you will run this trip yourself." ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Our two families are not side families, so we don't have to be so particular. ”

Lao Anren raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.

A few Miss Pei are still young, and Yu Tang is an outsider, so it's okay to say, but the second miss snorted coldly.
