Chapter 157: See you again

Lao An laughed when he heard this.

Most ordinary people will have such considerations.

The Yu family is all honest people.

"It's me who didn't think it through." Lao An said, "It's cold on this mountain, and in a few days, I'll go home." ”

Sure enough, Lao An people did not go up the mountain for no reason.

It's just that it's none of her business, and she can't inquire.

Lao Anren talked to Yu Tang about the Li family's land sale: "How did you think that the Li family did it on purpose? ”

Yu Tang couldn't say that she knew the Li family's family because of her experience in her previous life, so she had to say: "I know that Mrs. Li's maiden family is a big businessman in Fujian, and I haven't heard that the Lin family is down!" ”

The implication is that with the relationship between the Li family and the Lin family, the Li family is really short of money, how can the Lin family sit idly by!

Lao Anren nodded, and was about to say something, when a little maid came in and said that the second lady had come over with the fifth lady.

"Let them in." Lao Anren listened, his eyes were full of smiles, and he obviously liked the second wife and the fifth lady very much.

I don't know what the relationship between the eldest lady and Lao Anren is?

Yu Tang has never seen the eldest lady here in Lao Anren.

The second wife and the fifth lady saw that Yu Tang was also there, the second lady was fine, and nodded at Yu Tang with a reserved smile, but the fifth lady ran over, shouted "Sister Yu", and asked her happily: "Are you also going to our house for the New Year?" Would you like to make lanterns with me later? Amber and the others are going to tell me to make lanterns. ”

Also?!

Who else?

Yu Tang was surprised.

The Pei family was obviously not prepared to hide it from her, and the second wife smiled: "Something happened to Miss Gu's family, and she will celebrate the New Year at our house this year." ”

What can happen to her family?

Yu Tang sneered in his heart.

Because of her stepmother, Gu Xi has a very bad relationship with her father and half-siblings, and it can even be described as not caring about their life or death. Moreover, I didn't hear anything happened to her family in my previous life......

Could it be that the Gu and Pei families really had plans to marry, so Gu Xi found an excuse, and Lao An people took advantage of the situation to leave Gu Xi?!

She wanted to know what happened to the Gu family.

If it was in a previous life, she might have inquired in private. But to live a lifetime, she knows how many pounds and taels she has, instead of playing with people like Lao Anren, it is better to ask directly, people are willing to tell her, she listens, and if she doesn't want to tell her, she will stop that curiosity. Therefore, she did not hesitate, but said bluntly: "What happened to Miss Gu's family?" Can't go back for the New Year? ”

Lao An and the second wife both showed surprise, and then the two exchanged a look.

Don't look at indecent things, don't say anything indecent about it. When it comes to the privacy of other people's homes, most people don't ask. Miss Yu can be regarded as having read a book, so it stands to reason that she should pretend not to know, but she didn't expect her to ask so bluntly.

Is this Miss Yu sensible or not?

Lao Anren pressed the confusion in his heart and directly rejected Yu Tang: "We can't say too much about the Gu family's affairs." I just received a letter from Miss Gu's brother who wanted to ask us to keep her here for the New Year. You'll see Miss Gu later, you're the same age, you have to get along well. ”

Yu Tang smiled respectfully, but guessed in his heart whether his arrival would have something to do with Gu Xi staying for the New Year.

She accompanied Lao An and the second wife for a conversation, and she was sent down by Lao An to rest: "You just came today, sat in a sedan chair for a long time, and rested in the house for a while in the afternoon, and came over to have dinner together in the evening." ”

Yu Tang responded with a smile.

The fifth lady took Yu Tang's hand and begged Lao Anren: "I'll help Sister Yu clean up her things." ”

The second wife scolded the fifth lady with a smile: "You are not allowed to be naughty, let Miss Yu go to rest first." ”

Yu Tang likes Miss Wu very much, and she is new to a place, so she feels more secure to have a familiar person by her side. She smiled and said to the second wife, "You just let her go back to the guest room with me!" With her, I can have a companion too. ”

The fifth lady hurriedly hugged Yu Tang's arm and said to the second wife: "Mother, look, Sister Yu also wants to be with me." ”

The second wife wanted to stop it, but Lao Anren spoke: "Then you can be a companion with Sister Yu." Don't be naughty, though. If you're naughty, you won't think we'll let you run around again. ”

Miss Wu raised her eyebrows and nodded again and again.

Yu Tang was also very happy, smiled and took Miss Five's hand, and said goodbye to Lao Anren and the second wife.

The second wife couldn't help but complain a little, and said to Lao An: "Mother, you can't spoil her like this anymore." Look at the three girls in the third room, they have advanced and retreated at a young age, and they look like everyone's ladies......"

Lao Anren interrupted the second wife's words and said, "But look at the four girls again!" ”

The second wife stopped talking.

Lao Anren continued: "Can the five girls be so lively and active in the past? Originally, filial piety was hard, and she finally met someone who could speak, you are a mother, don't you expect her to be happy? Girls' homes, you can stay at home for a few years! When I get married, I don't know what it's like. I don't care about others, the pearl of our family, I can't bear her to suffer. ”

When the second wife heard this, she hurriedly said, "How can it! With your old man watching, even if we are negligent, she can't suffer! ”

Lao An snorted lightly and did not speak again.

In the east wing where Yu Tang lived, she and Miss Wu sat on the Luohan bed in the inner room, drinking tea while watching Shuangtao instruct several maids and daughters-in-law in Pei's Mansion to clean up the inner room.

Originally, these people were very energetic when they were assigned to Yu Tang, but now in front of Miss Five, they are more quick and careful in doing things.

The fifth lady was very interested in the silk flowers that were half made in the embroidery basket brought by Yu Tang.

She asked Yu Tang: "Can I also learn?" ”

Yu Tang smiled: "As long as you want." ”

Miss Fifth was happy and whispered to her: "My grandmother is about to celebrate her birthday, and I want to send her something different." Sister Yu taught me to make a silk flower for my grandmother...... I'm going to ask Aunt Chen for a little jujube red velvet, I don't know if it's enough, when Sister Yu is resting, I'll let the maids bring it over for you to see...... Later, the three sisters will come over as well...... Mrs. Shen and Miss Gu also went up the mountain with us...... They live in the yard next door to you, which is a little bigger. Aunt Chen said that Mrs. Shen is Mr. Shen's wife after all, and it is better to arrange for them to live there without looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha...... But the three older sisters live here with us......"

Yu Tang listened with a smile and didn't inquire about the Gu family again.

In her opinion, since Lao An was unwilling to tell her, she should not inquire about this matter on any occasion. Although she was curious to death.

But the other ladies of the Pei family would also come over, which still surprised her.

She asked, "Second Miss, why did they come here too?" ”

The fifth lady was all about the silk flowers in the embroidery basket, while carefully turning over all kinds of utensils in the embroidery basket, and said absentmindedly: "The third sister is about to discuss marriage, and the meaning of the third uncle and grandmother must be seen first." The family wanted to take the opportunity to greet Lao Anren and let the third sister take a look at people. It's almost the New Year, and the Pei family's mansion is full of people, and the third uncle and grandmother specially came to discuss with the grandmother, and the grandmother agreed. ”

It makes sense.

But why did you invite her too?

She is not from the Pei family!

Yu Tang still didn't think it through.

It's just that before she could think about it, Gu Xi suddenly came over.

She was followed by her dowry maid in her previous life, Hexiang, who was still carrying a basket in her hand, and she didn't know what it contained.

"I didn't expect to meet Miss Yu here again." Gu Xi smiled, his chin was slightly raised, his tone was gentle but his expression was arrogant, exactly the same as when they first met in their previous life, which made Yu Tang have a moment of trance, and he almost didn't distinguish between the past and the present life.

She thought, could it be that Gu Xi knew her identity, so he would put on such a face to her?

But Gu Xi was obviously much more sincere and cordial to Miss Five, she said to Miss Five: "The Buddha incense I made a few days ago is ready, I'm going to take a box for you to try, who knows that I went to your house to know that you came to Miss Yu, Mrs. Shen is infected with the wind and cold again, I want to serve the sick, it's not good to wait in your house for a long time, so I ran over." ”

As she spoke, Hexiang took out a black lacquered box.

Fifth Miss's personal maid, Ah Shan, hurriedly took over the box.

"Thank you, Miss Gu." The fifth lady said, smiling shyly, and looking a little childish, not much to say, where is the lively and active just now.

Yu Tang's heart moved slightly, thoughtfully.

Gu Xi seemed to be used to such a fifth miss, she smiled apologetically at Yu Tang: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Miss Yu was also here, so I brought a box of potpourri over, and it is best to use it when I usually read and write." ”

In his previous life, Gu Xi liked to make incense, and the incense he made was very famous in Lin'an, and many squires and talented ladies in Lin'an were proud to be able to get the incense made by Gu Xi. This potpourri has also been obtained in the previous life, and it smells really fragrant, refreshing, and especially good. It's a pity that she only got one box, and before she could use it up, the Lin family took the rest of the incense away on the grounds that she was a widow and shouldn't play with extravagance.

Later, she gradually got used to the fresh air, but she didn't like to light incense very much.

But she still accepted it with a smile - it would be good to give it as a gift to people who like to use incense in the future.

Gu Xi visited the place where Yu Tang lived.

The furniture, curtains, etc. are all Pei's family, but the hanging screens, flowers, and tea cups should be used at home.

The hanging screen is four black lacquer painted gold plum orchid chrysanthemum bamboo, whether it is the production or the material, the pattern is very ordinary, the flower is the cloisonnΓ© that can be seen everywhere, not to mention the tea cup, it is a set of white porcelain without any pattern and color. When she first moved in, there was also such a set of tea sets on the round table, and the little maid of the Pei family, who was assigned to serve in her room at that time, told her that this was a beautiful place, and when the people who lived in changed into the tea sets they brought, they would naturally put these away.

The place where Yu Tang lives is clearly arranged, but this tea set is still on the table, if she doesn't know the rules of the Pei family, she doesn't bring her usual things up the mountain.

A young lady who goes to live in someone else's house, but doesn't bring her usual things, is that still a young lady?
