Sit down and talk
But how can there be a stool here
Sitting on the Arhat bed
Not very appropriate
Yu Tang was struggling there, and a little maid had already brought in a black lacquered maroon velvet embroidered pier.
She blushed a little, for Lao An... No, the appearance of Pei Yan's mother actually prevented her from being associated with the title of "Old An", but it was wrong to call Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei It seems that there is only one person's fame, and he cannot be called a wife... But Mr. Pei died while serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was the third grade. Didn't he give his mother a seal? No matter how bad it is, he should be a child of the fourth rank, right
Yu Tang didn't know that he was struggling all over his face, he still bent his knees slightly, performed a blessing ceremony, and half sat on the embroidered pier.
The old man looked interesting.
Although this little girl's emotions and desires are not all on her face, anyone who is interested can still see clearly.
No wonder Xia Guang thought she was interesting, seeing that she was always unhappy by herself, he called the little girl into the mansion to relieve her boredom.
Old Ann sat down on the Arhat bed, and Aunt Chen personally served refreshments.
She raised her hand holding the teacup and said, "Try the autumn tea sent over from Xinyang a few days ago, see if you like it?"
Yu Tang took a sip. It just tastes like ordinary tea leaves. I can't tell what kind of tea it is, but the aftertaste is mellow and the tea smells fragrant. It should be a good tea.
The temperature in the room was a bit high, so she took another sip.
When the old man saw it, he smiled and said, "How is it? Do you think it tastes good?"
Of course it must be delicious!
Yu Tang's words came to her lips, and she suddenly remembered her mother's exhortations, and then looked at the grandeur of the old An, it is estimated that there are many things she didn't know, showing off in front of the old An, she could accept these words , may not be able to catch the next sentence, even if it is lucky to catch the next sentence, what about the next sentence
She decided to go along with it.
"It's delicious." Yu Tang said politely, "It's sweet and mellow. I don't know what kind of tea it is? I don't know much about tea."
Old An was a little surprised, but seeing her honest appearance, he nodded secretly and said with a smile, "The one sent from Xinyang is naturally Xinyang Maojian. This is the tea that was just picked in autumn, commonly known as Qiulu tea."
Yu Tang didn't quite understand these things.
In the past, the family used to treat guests with Longjing, Biluochun, Lushan Yunwu, etc. She was not familiar with other teas. The Pei family is wealthy, and there have been sons who have been officials in the past dynasties. They must have seen all the specialties of any place, not to mention that Lao An was born in a wealthy family, and his knowledge is even more extraordinary.
She immediately had the desire to ask for advice, and said respectfully, "Is there only a tip of the hair in Xinyang?"
The old man choked when he was asked.
She doesn't know if Xinyang only produces Maojian tea. But the tea that can be delivered to their home should only be Maojian, right
Did this little girl pick her thorns on purpose? Still don't understand
The old An gave Yu Tang a long look.
The big almond eyes are black and white, bright like stars, flickering, really curious.
The old man coughed uncomfortably, and said, "I have to ask Hu Xing and the others. I have only drank Maojian all these years."
That's natural.
To give is of course the best thing to give.
Yu Tang nodded sincerely.
Lao An felt that the topic should no longer revolve around their family affairs, otherwise he would be too passive, so he said, "I heard that you are very good at making dim sum. What kind of dim sum are you good at?"
Yu Tang blushed, and said: "It's my mother who is very good at making dim sum, and I'm just messing around, I don't dare to be praised by the old An."
The old man was slightly stunned, and said: "Didn't you make the peanut crisps that were delivered last time? I think it's okay after eating."
Yu Tang felt a little guilty.
She made the peanut cake, but she didn't come up with it. She just ate it in the previous life, and after listening to others tell me how to make it, she went back and studied it carefully for a long time before she came up with the craft in this life.
"I made the peanut cake." She blushed slightly, "But the cooking and so on, it was my mother who helped me to make it."
The old man was a little disappointed.
She didn't really call people here to eat some peanut crisps. You know, she doesn't even need to say it, as long as she expresses her desire to eat peanut crisps, there will be a lot of people fawning on her, and someone will offer her peanut crisps to taste. She especially complained about Yu Tang, firstly, it was her son's tactful instigation, she didn't want to spoil the younger son's face, and wanted him to feel at ease; secondly, after she stopped being a clan wife, the widow lived in this Hemingtang, and the days suddenly quieted down, She was not used to it for a while, and wanted to find someone to talk to. But now that I saw Miss Yu, I found that apart from her pretty face, there was nothing particularly amazing about her in terms of speech or temperament.
Then drink a cup of tea and give someone something to take back.
The old An was thinking about it, and asked Yu Tang what he usually did at home, where did he read the book, and whether his parents were still in good health.
Yu Tang smiled and answered one by one.
That smile, eyebrows and eyes stretched, looked particularly sweet.
The more you look the better.
The little girls in the family are really inferior.
Even among the in-laws, it is also the first share.
It's just that beautiful girls are easy to find, but smart girls are not so easy to find.
The old man smiled slightly, thinking that no matter what, she was recommended to her by her son, so she had to find something worthy of praise anyway, so that Miss Yu could improve her face in front of the servants, so that when she came to Pei's mansion, she would be able to People take a high look.
She saw the lotus and silk flowers on Yu Tang's head at a glance.
"These flowers are really unique." The old man smiled, "Did you buy them from Suzhou? Or is it that Lin'an City also sells Su-style silk flowers?"
Yu Tang touched the silk flowers beside the bun with a smile, and said, "I made this myself. However, it looks like the Su style. Lao An really has a good eye."
"Oh!" Lao An suddenly became interested and said, "I never thought you would have such skillful hands."
She can't even embroider a handkerchief by herself, so she especially likes little girls with dexterous hands.
Yu Tang shyly said: "It's not a skill, but it's just to pass the time when you have nothing to do." After finishing speaking, she tentatively said, "If you think it looks good, I'll go back and make some for you. I don’t know what color you like? What style? I can also make bees, butterflies, etc., which can be parked on flowers. Would you like me to make a few for you separately, and you can also hang them on the skirt? I think it’s also very interesting of."
"You still do this?" Old An was pleasantly surprised, "Hanging on the skirt? How do you hang it?"
Yu Tang explained to her in detail: "Like a dragonfly, you can make it the size of the real thing, and then use some glass beads to make eyes, silk gauze to make wings, and then put tassels on it, and hang it on the skirt as an ornament." .”
Old An was very interested when he heard this, and said, "Aside from doing these things, what else do you do?"
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Basically, I can make everything I wear on my head, and I even made a forehead handkerchief inlaid with jeweled flowers for my mother."
A widow cannot dress up too gorgeously, but as long as she is a beauty-loving person, it is impossible not to dress up at all.
Lao An said: "Then why don't you make some plain silk flowers for me? In a few days it will be the Double Ninth Festival, and the juniors in the family will come to say hello to me." After finishing speaking, she remembered that today is the beginning of September It's five, I'm afraid it's too late, and he laughed again, "Just give it to me before the first day of October. I will go to Zhaoming Temple with brothers Qiming and Xiaguang to do a ritual ceremony for their father."
After finishing speaking, her eyes darkened slightly, and she sighed almost inaudibly.
Yu Tang followed with slightly sour eyes.
Back then, she had no relationship with Li Jun. When the Li family was a widow, thinking of Li Jun's early death, she would sigh for Li Jun's parents. Lao An and Mrs. Pei lived together for more than 30 years and had three sons. Now thinking of her deceased husband, I don't know how uncomfortable I feel!
She hurriedly said: "When I'm free, I like to make silk flowers. I still have a few that are about to be finished at home. I'll let you have a look at them first. After the Double Ninth Festival, I'll make some new ones for you. "
Yu Tang made several dark green and pink chrysanthemums in order to suit the occasion. Pink is not suitable, so the dark green old man should be able to wear it, right
She pondered in her heart.
The old man said: "If you are not free, let the maid at home deliver it. If you are free, you can come to my place with silk flowers and talk with me."
Yu Tang respectfully agreed, thinking that Xia Guang was written by Pei Yan, then Qiming should be written by the second master of the Pei family, Pei Xuan. I don't know if they can also go to the ashram on the first day of October to offer incense sticks to Mrs. Pei
She talked with the old An in Pei's residence for a while, and when she saw a woman coming in to ask the old An to show her off, she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
The old An didn't keep her either, and asked her to go into the mansion after making the silk flowers, and pointed to Aunt Ji: "If you have anything to do, you can find her in the future."
Yu Tang respectfully agreed, and followed Aunt Ji out of the courtyard where Lao An lived.
Only then did Mrs. Ji show a joyful expression and said to her: "Miss Yu is really rare. Whose little girl has our old An invited into the mansion all these years? You have gone back, remember to tell your mother."
In the future, no matter what Yu Tang does, he will have someone to help him.
Yu Tang was mainly used to following Pei Yan's path, and upon hearing this, he didn't think about other things, thinking that Mrs. Ji was just happy that she was able to please the old An, so she thanked Mrs. Ji with a smile, and went back Just tell Chen Shi.
Chen Shi was so happy that she didn't know what to do, she repeatedly urged her to take out all the finished silk flowers, and try to pick some plain and clean ones to send to Pei's house. He also found a tailor to come home, made several plain clothes for Yu Tang, and said: "It's the first time you go to someone's house to be a guest, dress more solemnly to show respect, but if you come and go often, you have to do as the Romans do, go see Lao An It’s not good for people to dress too brightly.”
Yu Tang felt that Lao An, like Pei Yan, was not a very close person. If he could accidentally be valued by Lao An because of silk flowers, he might fall out of favor at some point, so there was no need to make clothes specially for this matter. But Mrs. Chen didn't listen, thinking that even if Lao An's freshness wears off in a few days, it would be good to make a few more clothes for a change of clothes.
She doesn't argue with her mother either, as long as her mother is happy!
Yu Tang picked a few more beautiful flowers from the silk flower box, put them in a red-lacquered round box, and went to Pei's residence.
