Chapter 136: Sugar Gourd
"Then I'll make a note of it!" Huo Xiting didn't notice the trace of cunning floating in Tang Wan's eyes at all, and said happily.
"Xiaoxi, look, I promised you to take you to me to eat sugar gourds, so shouldn't you promise me one thing?" Tang Wan looked at Huo Xiting and spoke.
Huo Xiting's smile froze suddenly, when she was in the Li Mansion, Huo Xiting heard the young lady of the Li family talk about this Tang Wan, they said that Tang Wan was very eccentric, and when her eyes moved, she could come up with a bad idea in her head.
"Youβwhat do you want me to do? Miss Tang, I can tell you in advance, if it is too much, even if I can't eat sugar gourd in my life, I won't do it! Huo Xiting took a step back and said with an oath.
"Hey, don't be so afraid, you're a girl, what can I ask you to do too much?" Tang Wan saw Huo Xiting take a step back, and hurriedly followed a step, and said with a smile on her face.
Huo Xiting narrowed her eyes, a little regretting why she was so useless just now, and was restrained by Tang Wan in a few words.
"I told your sister-in-law a few days ago, I especially like this little wolf cub of yours, Xiaoxi, you are good, let me play with preserved eggs for two days." Tang Wan raised her finger and pointed at the preserved egg behind Huo Xiting, and spoke.
Huo Xiting hurriedly waved her hand: "No way, no way!" The wound on your arm hasn't healed yet, how can I let the egg come close to you again! β
"Who says there's no healing?" Tang Wan was anxious when she heard this, so she hurriedly lifted her sleeves and raised them in front of Huo Xiting: "Look at you, Lang Zhong has already taken off the strip of cloth on the bread!" β
Huo Xiting hurriedly covered Tang Wan's arm, covered Tang Wan's snow-white lotus root, looked around, and suddenly imitated the tone of the female pedant in the school, and said: "Miss Tang, there are so many people coming and going around here, and it is really a little inappropriate for Miss Tang to lift her clothes like this." β
Tang Wan blinked, suddenly smiled, twisted Huo Xiting's cheek, and spoke: "Okay, you little girl, are you imitating the tone of a female pedant to teach me a lesson?" β
"Oops, it hurts, it hurts!" Huo Xiting's face was twisted a little deformed by Tang Wan, and she hurriedly begged for mercy.
After Tang Wan let go of Huo Xiting's face, Huo Xiting rubbed her cheeks and spoke: "Since Miss Tang really likes preserved eggs, then I will try my best to pick an opportunity to take preserved eggs out to play, and if you meet Miss Tang at that time, then you won't be able to play with preserved eggs." β
Seeing that Tang Wan still wanted to say something, Huo Xiting hurriedly raised her hand and stopped Tang Wan's words: "I know that Miss Tang is not satisfied with this, but no matter what, Pidan is still a wolf cub who doesn't understand personnel after all, it scratched Miss Tang before, if something like this happens in the future, if nothing else, it will not be a good thing for Miss Tang." So no matter what, as long as Miss Tang meets with Preserved Eggs, then I have to watch from the sidelines. β
Huo Xiting's tone was very resolute, she straightened her chest and spoke.
Tang Wan is not a willful and unreasonable person, she knows that Huo Xiting's approach is a good thing for herself and for the preserved eggs, so she took a step back and spoke: "I didn't expect Sister Xiaoxi to be so sensible, since this is the case, then it depends on Sister Xiaoxi." In a few days, Uncle Li will hold a family banquet in the Li Mansion, so don't forget to come over when the time comes. β
"Huh?" Huo Xiting was stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "I'm afraid it won't work, I'm a little-known girl from the Huo family, how can I go to the Li Mansion to attend any family banquet, maybe the little guy who guards the door will directly block me at the door, no way!" β
"No, I will give you the next post in my name at that time, you don't have to worry about anything else, you just need to bring the preserved egg to the appointment." Tang Wan waved her hand nonchalantly and spoke.
"This ......" Huo Xiting is still a little embarrassed, such a big matter, do you need to go home and discuss with Huo Yanshen and Yang Chunyan?
But before Huo Xiting could say anything, Cui'er's voice came from not far away, as if she had been looking for Tang Wan's figure: "Miss! Miss, where have you been? β
Tang Wan heard the voice and hurriedly said goodbye to Huo Xiting: "That's it!" I have to go back first, I just ran out of the carriage with Cui'er on my back! β
After Tang Wan finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Huo Xiting and Pidan alone and a wolf standing in the middle of the street in the wind.
Tang Wan ran all the way to the side of the carriage, and when she was about to sneak in, Bu Cui'er appeared with a dark face and looked at Tang Wan motionlessly: "Miss, didn't you ask me to buy spicy elbows?" Why did you disappear when I turned my kung fu? β
"That...... I just saw an acquaintance in the carriage, so I went over to say hello. Tang Wan smiled embarrassedly, her eyes moved to the spicy elbow in Cui'er's hand, and bursts of fragrance came to her nose, Tang Wan couldn't help but sniff, and her saliva flowed.
"Miss, it's not that I'm not forbidding you to go on the street, but where you go, you have to talk to me, who is a personal maid, right? In case something goes wrong with you, how can I explain to the master? β
Tang Wan's ears remembered Cui'er's chatter, but she seemed to be used to it, she just kept nodding her head, and her eyes never left the elbow.
"The purpose of the lord taking you to Yunxian this time, you also know the young lady, now that you are also older, then Master Li's nephew is also a dignified son, this time we have been in the Li Mansion for so long, isn't the lord just to take a good look at this man for you? If there is no problem, Miss, your family affairs can be decided like this, and after that, you can't do things like this anymore. β
As soon as she heard the word "family affairs", Tang Wan's appetite suddenly disappeared, her face sank, she was very unsightly, she leaned lazily to the side, and glared at Cui'er dissatisfied: "You are my girl, not my father, at a young age, how can you not be tired when you talk?" β
Cui'er kept her mouth shut and looked at Tang Wan with some grievances.
Tang Wan's good appetite was wiped out by Cui'er's words, she sighed, turned to face the outside of the carriage, and stopped talking.
After Boss Tang returned to the Li Mansion, he immediately asked someone to send the post to Huo Yanshen, and Huo Yanshen handed the post to Yang Chunyan, but he still hesitated a little in his heart:
"Lady, can we really meet someone who will help the shop at the family banquet that day?"
Yang Chunyan put the post away and said: "Not necessarily, but how do you know if you don't try?" Huo Yanshen nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Miss Tang Wan also made a special post for Xiaoxi, and Xiaoxi and Preserved Egg will also pass that day." β
"What?" Yang Chunyan was taken aback, Xiaoxi didn't have anything in the past, but this preserved egg also passed, isn't it a little too risky?
"I know what the lady is worried about, there were so many people that day, it would be bad if the preserved egg hurt people again." Huo Yanshen paused and spoke: "Otherwise, I'll go and talk to Xiaoxi, let her go over, don't bring preserved eggs." β
"Forget it, it's useless for you to talk about it." Yang Chunyan grabbed Huo Yanshen and sighed helplessly: "Looking at Miss Tang's liking for preserved eggs a few days ago, I'm afraid this time I was thinking about preserved eggs, so I let Xiaoxi pass too." β
After Huo Yanshen heard it, he felt that Yang Chunyan's words made some sense, but he really couldn't understand it: "Lady, you said that Miss Tang is a beautiful girl, why does she like dangerous animals like wolf cubs, isn't she afraid?" β
Yang Chunyan smiled and spoke: "I'm not afraid to think about it, I think that although this Miss Tang is gentle and lovely on the surface, her private personality is more uninhibited than that of men, and it is not surprising that she likes preserved eggs." β
Huo Yanshen smiled: "Hearing the lady say this, it seems that she is already very familiar with Miss Tang." β
"It's not familiar, it's just that Miss Tang often came to the Huo family a few days ago, so she saw her more times and said more, and she didn't have deep friendships." Yang Chunyan pursed her lips and spoke.
She knew that Tang Wan followed Boss Tang to settle in the Li Mansion this time, and she was planning for her own family affairs, and when the family affairs were decided, Boss Tang would definitely take Tang Wan away.
At that time, I am afraid that the mountain high road will never get together again for the rest of his life, Yang Chunyan has to admit that Tang Wan and herself can really talk, but Yang Chunyan has always reminded herself that although she can talk, her life with Tang Wan is still very different, and it is not good to have too deep friendship with Tang Wan, lest someone say that she is clinging to Gao Zhi and is not in a system.
"Miss Tang came here several times before, and she seemed to like to eat the lotus paste cake I made, and when we went back to Li's Mansion, we brought it with us, and gave it to Miss Tang in private, which can be regarded as a little bit of our heart."
"Well, it's all up to the lady." Huo Yanshen nodded and spoke.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Li Mansion's family banquet, because the official start of the family banquet was noon, so Yang Chunyan came to the grocery store first in the morning and helped Yang Juan to clean up the shop.
"Yan'er, yesterday the people of the Ouyang family came over and brought the first batch of wool to come, I look good, although it is not as good as the one that the Xu family pulled the line before, but it is not bad, and the price is so cheap, it is really good and cheap."
Yang Juan said, handed over the wool in her hand, and spoke.
Yang Chunyan stretched out her hand to take the wool, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "The eldest sister is right, it seems that Ouyang Gongzi didn't coax us husband and wife, and the wool sent over is of good quality." β
"Now that the wool is there, Yan'er, shouldn't our handicraft workshop be reopened? It's a waste of so many looms to be empty. β
