Chapter 208: Breathable
Pei Yan is so kind?
Yu Tang looked at the rock sugar bird's nest in his hand and beat a drum in his heart, and said, "The third master just asked Ah Ming to send the bird's nest over, and didn't say anything else?" ”
Shuang Tao thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't say anything else." ”
Yu Tang muttered in a low voice: "Why did you suddenly think of sending food over?" ”
She tasted it, it was quite sweet, and said, "Did you send your mother's bowl?" ”
Shuangtao hurriedly said: "Send it over." Mrs. Chen had already changed her clothes, and Mrs. Chen came out to pick them up. ”
Yu Tang listened and drank the bird's nest in two sips, and handed the empty bowl to Shuangtao. Shuangtao put the bowl and brought water to rinse Yu Tang's mouth, Mrs. Chen came in with an empty bowl and said, "Mrs. said that you can't accept the gift of the third master in vain, so let us send two boxes of peanut crisp when we return the bowl." ”
This time I came to Zhaoming Temple, and Chen made a lot of dim sum to prepare gifts.
Yu Tang felt that it was feasible, so he let Shuangtao and Mrs. Chen toss, and fell asleep with his pillow on his head, and slept until dawn.
Shuangtao hurriedly came in to serve her to freshen up, and muttered: "When I went to return the bowl yesterday, the third master's side was still brightly lit. It is said that the Song family and the Peng family are not only female relatives this time, but the eldest and fourth masters of the Song family, the eldest master, the third master and the fifth master of the Peng family, the sixth master, the seventh master, the eldest young master and the second young master are all here, and the third master is talking to them! I heard that tomorrow there will be some Huzhou martial arts family will also have two masters, two young masters, several wives and young grandmothers to come over. The master of Zhaoming Temple was big, and he discussed how to arrange the wing room overnight. Fortunately, we followed the people from Pei Mansion to live in first, otherwise there would really be no place to stand. ”
She also nagged: "The Pei family has also hosted temple fairs and lectures in the past, and this time the most people came. The monks invited by Pei Laoan from the South Shaolin Temple must be very powerful. Miss, if that senior monk is willing to pray for you and several young ladies of the Pei family, you say, should we prepare any thanksgiving gifts? What kind of thank-you gifts do we prepare? Do you want to ask Aunt Ji about this matter? ”
In Shuangtao's view, Aunt Ji and the shopkeeper Tong are in-laws, so they can be regarded as friends with their Yu family.
Yu Tang nodded indiscriminately, and said in his mouth, "I have to ask my mother about this matter", but in her heart, she thought that these families who came to participate in the lecture this time were all the people who came to take pictures at the beginning, counting the days, the ship should be about to be built, to say that the appearance of these families has nothing to do with maritime trade, she didn't believe it a thousand or ten thousand.
The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!
Yu Tang took a deep breath, and always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Chen came over to his daughter's side after dressing up, and saw that Yu Tang was almost cleaned up, so he asked Mrs. Chen to bring breakfast over, and she sat on the embroidery pier next to the round table in the middle of the room to discuss with her daughter the thank you gift for the monk, and praised Yu Wendao: "Fortunately, your father Fei let me bring two good inkstones over." Otherwise, how can I get my hands on the dim sum I make? This mountain is no better than the mountain, and you can't buy anything with money. It can be seen that there must still be someone in this family who can take ideas. Then the topic shifted to her marriage, "Don't always listen to your father, and take all my words as a deaf ear." If Mrs. Wu arranges for you to see each other next time, you have to take a good look at each other. If this person doesn't come into contact with it, how can he know what kind of personality it is, maybe this is your fate......"
Yu Tang seemed respectful, but his left ear listened to his right ear and went out.
She knows her mother's knot, but she always feels that marriage sometimes depends on fate, if fate comes, even if you go around and around, this person is yours. There is no fate, just like in the previous life, if you are engaged, you will suddenly lose it.
It wasn't until Mrs. Chen came over with breakfast that she interrupted Chen's words.
Chen also knew that she was not good like this, but she was so anxious when she saw that her daughter was indifferent to her marriage. However, it was a good idea to come to Zhaoming Temple to listen to the lecture this time. I heard that many decent squire's wives have come, maybe my daughter's chance is at this lecture?
Thinking like this, Chen cheered up again, had breakfast with his daughter, brought the two boxes sent by Ah Ming last night, and was about to go to Pei Lao'an, when a little novice ran in and said, "Mrs. Yu, there is a wife surnamed Wu, who said that she is a neighbor with your family, and she has something to see you." ”
Chen and Yu Tang were stunned and hurriedly invited someone in.
The person who came was a personal mother-in-law next to Mrs. Wu, and she said with an embarrassed expression: "Our wife heard that there was going to be a lecture here, so I asked me to come here in advance to book a room...... I heard it before, saying that you will move in in advance with the daughter of the Pei family, so I will come to you with a cheeky face to see if you can find a way to help our wife book a room. ”
The Chen family couldn't be the master of this matter, she said: "I also borrowed the east wind of the Pei family. But the Wu family helped their family a lot, and she was embarrassed to refuse like this, and said, "Otherwise, you should try to find as much as you can, and I will also help you ask to see if we can find a way to book a room for your wife." ”
The woman went away gratefully.
Chen shook his head and said, "Mrs. Wei also said that she would bring the female dependents of the family to come over that day, and if you look at it like this, you will definitely not be able to book a side room." ”
Yu Tang didn't say anything.
Chen also knew that this matter was not easy to do, and it was not something that could be done and done at one time, so he suppressed the emotion in his heart and went to Pei Lao'an with Yu Tang first.
Aunt Ji was on duty at the door, and when she saw Yutang's mother and daughter, she glanced at them, then turned around and whispered a few words to a little maid behind her, and welcomed Yutang's mother and daughter to the tearoom next to her.
Yutang's mother and daughter found that Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu were sitting in the tearoom drinking tea.
Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu stood up and greeted Yu Tang's mother and daughter, and Mrs. Yang San pointed to the pastries on the coffee table and said to Chen: "I haven't eaten dim sum in Beijing, I haven't eaten it for many years." Try it and see if it suits your appetite. ”
Chen thanked him and sat down next to Mrs. Yang San.
Aunt Ji explained with a wry smile: "The wives of the Song family and the Peng family came here with a few young masters, so they had to grieve you and the third wife to have a cup of tea here first." ”
Listening to that tone, the people of the Song family and the Peng family were not very welcome.
Chen Shi hurriedly said: "The third wife and I both brought the little girl, and Lao Anren arranged it like this, which was thoughtful and considerate. It just so happens that I can still talk to the third wife. ”
Mrs. Yang San also nodded, and said to Aunt Ji with a smile: "There are so many guests over there in Lao Anren, it must be very busy." We're not outsiders, so you don't have to worry about us, I'll talk to Mrs. Yu. Speaking of which, I came to Lin'an once with my father when I was a child, and this is the second time, I heard that Mrs. Yu's dim sum is done well, and I want to ask Mrs. Yu for advice! ”
She gave the Pei family and Aunt Ji the steps, and Aunt Ji was naturally grateful, and had a good impression of her, not only said a lot of compliments to Mrs. Yang San, but also personally poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Yang San and Mrs. Chen, and left the little maid to serve here, and then went out of the tea room.
Mrs. Yang San really exchanged tips with Chen about making dim sum.
Listening to Mrs. Yang San's speech, it can be seen that she has a good background, has been to many places, and has a lot of experience in talking about dim sum from the north and the south. Chen also intended to ask Mrs. Yang San for advice, and the two talked enthusiastically and laughed constantly.
Yu Tang is a little better, he was forced by Chen to make dim sum, and he can still understand.
Miss Xu probably has never done these things, like listening to a book from heaven, she can still sit patiently at the beginning, and after a long time, she begins to move around, like a child.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
Miss Xu didn't care, and found an opportunity to lean into her ear and said, "Shall we go to the official room?" ”
Yu Tang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Miss Xu glared at her unhappily.
Yu Tang felt that he shouldn't laugh at Miss Xu, so he hurriedly agreed to accompany her to the official room.
Her eyes immediately lit up, and she cautiously asked Mrs. Yang San for leave.
Mrs. Yang San glanced at Miss Xu with a smile, and agreed yes, but called the mother-in-law next to her to accompany Miss Xu and Yu Tang to the official room, and said to the mother-in-law: "Your eyes are bright, don't meet people you shouldn't meet." “
The woman hurriedly bowed down and said "yes".
Miss Xu pulled Yu Tang out of the tea room.
She took a long breath while standing under the eaves, and whispered to Yu Tang: "You can really sit still, I can't do it, let me sit like this for a long time, I will lose half my life." After she finished speaking, she asked the mother-in-law, "Do you know what the second lady of the Pei family is doing?" If only I could find her and play with her for a while. The last sentence, she said to Yu Tang.
The mother-in-law should be very aware of Miss Xu's temper, and without waiting for Yu Tang to answer, she said: "Miss Pei Er was called by Lao An to meet the elders of the Song family and the Peng family. When she can come out, Miss Biao should also go to see Lao Anren. ”
Miss Xu was very disappointed.
Yu Tang asked her: "Then do we still have to go to the official room?" ”
Miss Xu hesitated: "The official room here should be very smelly, right?" ”
The woman replied, "Why don't you go with me to the courtyard at the back?" There are a lot of osmanthus trees planted in the back yard, but unfortunately it is not autumn, otherwise it is sure that the osmanthus is fragrant, and it is very good-looking. ”
Miss Xu was very interested and said, "Forget it, I'll go and sit under the camphor tree over there with Sister Yu for a while." ”
Only then did Yu Tang find that there was a thick camphor tree in the north of the main house and the east wing room of the courtyard where Pei Lao'an lived, and there was a long bamboo bench under the tree.
The woman smiled: "Miss Cousin and Miss Yu will wait for me for a while, and I will ask someone to go and get a few cotton mats." Although it is spring, it is still a little cold to sit on this bamboo bench. ”
Miss Xu hurriedly urged her to get it, and then invited Yu Tang over: "It's too eye-catching for us to stand here, it's better to go there and wait." ”
A very experienced look.
Yu Tang Wan'er, just as he and Miss Xu stood under the camphor tree, they saw Mrs. Pei Er's angrily walking out of the hall of Pei Lao'an, followed by Aunt Chen who looked anxious.
