Yu Tang smiled and said: "Although this material is plain, this color is too rare. To be honest, it's the first time I've seen such a pale green material when I grow up. To be honest, I was still muttering in my heart just now, This color is so rare, it must be very expensive. If I choose this material, I deserve it; but if I choose other materials, I will regret it when I go back. I decided to choose this material brazenly, at worst, I will make you some more silk flowers in the future."
The old man laughed when he heard this.
The people serving in the room also laughed.
For a while, the room was full of laughter and laughter, and it was rarely lively.
Aunt Chen turned her back and quietly wiped her tears.
How long has it been.
After the old lady left, the old An was depressed, and the servants around them also followed carefully, for fear that if they were not careful, they would say something that would make the old An cry, and the atmosphere in the whole Harmony Hall would change. Depressed and tense.
Today, I finally saw Lao An's smiling face again, and there was laughter around Lao An again.
Still the third master is amazing!
It can cheer up the old An to look forward.
She went to the waiter to wash her face again, looked in the mirror, and she couldn't see that she had cried, so she left the waiter with a smile.
Who knew that when she stepped out of the waiter, she met several ladies who came to greet the old Ann.
She hurried forward to say hello.
The first one is the eldest daughter of the third lord of the Pei Mansion, who just reached the age of hairpin this spring, and even wearing a brown plain-faced silk beige can't suppress the brightness between her brows. She asked Aunt Chen in a low voice: "It is said that the person here is Miss Yu from Qingzhu Lane?"
Aunt Chen nodded with a smile, but she didn't intend to talk to the second-ranked lady of the Pei family, but smiled and closed the curtain, and said: "It's cold outside, ladies, be careful to catch a cold, hurry up." Click (into) the house to talk. Old Ann is waiting!"
The young ladies let a young girl who was wearing a white tapestry cloak with fairy grass pattern, who was still at the age of the head, take the lead.
The little girl humbly stood aside, letting the other ladies go first.
The ladies were not polite, and entered the room according to the elder and younger fish.
The room is still filled with warm wind, but since the ladies came here often, they took off their cloaks to reveal the jackets they were wearing, but none of them felt the heat. Only the second lady said, "Old people will enjoy it", Then everyone entered the open hall on the east side.
"Old Ann!" The young ladies are only fourteen or five years old, and the youngest are eight or nine years old. Although they are all clean, they are all beautiful and beautiful, which makes people feel bright and pleasing to the eye. .
Yu Tang was amazed.
Mrs. Wang even boasted directly: "Every time I come to the mansion, I always feel as if I have fallen into a pile of flowers. When I look at the little ladies of other people's homes, I can't catch my eyes. Zhong Lingyuxiu is all in your mansion."
The old man smiled slightly, and did not answer, but called a few girls to greet Yu Tang: "This is Miss Yu, older than you, you can call 'sister'." He also introduced a few girls in the family A little girl said, "This is the second girl, this is the third girl, this is the fourth girl, and this is the fifth girl."
The ladies greeted Yu Tang politely.
Yu Tang returned the salutes one by one, but his mind was spinning quickly, matching the information he had inquired with the person in front of him.
The Pei family now has seven houses, and there are no separate clans. They all live in Xiaomeixi, and there are more males than females. Among them, the eldest daughter is the eldest daughter of the second lord and has already left the court; the second lady is the eldest daughter of the third lord; the third lady is the eldest daughter of the third lord; The eldest daughter, Pei Dan, the daughter of the second master Pei Xuan, is the youngest.
Pei Yan's niece... Yu Tang couldn't help but take a few more glances.
This girl probably looks like her mother, not so much like Lao An and Pei Yan, with slender eyebrows and almond eyes, but she can be seen as a beauty at such a young age.
She felt Yu Tang's gaze, and smiled shyly at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that Fifth Miss would not be easy to get along with.
After all, she is Lao An's granddaughter, if she wins Lao An's favor but displeases his own granddaughter, wouldn't it add trouble to the Pei family
Looking at it now, Miss Fifth's temperament is quite docile, she is not the kind of person who loves to make trouble or is very strong, and they should be able to get along well. On the other hand, the second young lady, not to mention her bright appearance, has a coquettish air hanging in the corners of her eyes and brows, she is not a good friend at first glance, so you should be more careful when dealing with her.
Third Miss and Second Miss are from the same house, but they don't look alike at all. She has willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, about the same age as Second Miss, with a stern face, and acts like a well-behaved lady, quite the air of a big lady.
Fourth Miss should be two or three years younger than Third Miss. She has bright eyes and bright teeth. When looking at people, she looks very clever and playful. She should be the liveliest and naughtiest among the young ladies.
Lao An asked them to choose the material they liked, and said: "Make some winter clothes with your sister Yu."
The Fifth Miss and the Third Miss respectfully answered "Yes", while the Second Miss glanced at Yu Tang with a bit of disdain. Shi Shi whispered to Yu Tang: "What color material did sister choose?"
There is no one who does not love lively and cute little girls.
Yu Tang is also not immune.
She whispered: "The water-green one next to me is the material I chose."
The fourth lady took a quick look and said: "My sister has a good eye. That clear water green was a tribute from a few years ago. The old Ann got a few horses and gave one to my grandmother. Later, when the eldest sister came out of the cabinet, she was taken away by the old Ann of the second room. Someone begged for a horse to make clothes for the eldest sister."
Yu Tang thought that the material was not cheap, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive.
The Fourth Miss seemed to see Yu Tang's thoughts, and whispered to her quickly: "But sister, don't take it to heart, Lao An treats people very well. When we come, he will make chicken cakes for us to eat. And asked the kitchen to make tofu soup with high broth for us."
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
When observing filial piety, one can only be a vegetarian.
It's easy for adults to say, but children are still young, and it's time for them to grow up. Some people are stubborn. If several filial piety periods continue, the children will suffer from physical damage.
I didn't expect Lao An to be so generous.
You know, it's the old man who is driving the crane west.
She thought of Pei Yan.
Or, is this also the place where Lao An is respected
Coming out of Pei's mansion, Yu Tang not only had an extra coat of clear water Qinghang silk with silk inlaid with dark green cattail grass pattern, but also a dark green skirt with ten embroidered plums, orchids, bamboo and horses, and a beautiful blue and purple two-color skirt. Golden Squirrel Pigar, a white ermine muff…
Chen Shi said worriedly: "Such fine clothes, can you keep them in the bottom of the suitcase when you leave the pavilion?"
This is of course a joke.
If you know the etiquette, you should wear this outfit to pay New Year's greetings to Pei Lao'an on the first day of the new year.
But the gate of Pei's mansion is not so easy to enter, Yu Tang just wants to pay New Year's greetings to Lao An in the first year of junior high school, so it depends on whether Lao An is free to see her!
After much deliberation, Mrs. Chen didn't know how to repay Mr. Pei, so she gritted her teeth and said, "No! A Tang, you have to practice female reds well. You can't afford tailoring and sewing, so you can do it for Mrs. Pei." A pair of socks is fine, right?"
"Please forgive me!" Yu Tang hugged his head, "Lao An's socks were also made by Mrs. Wang's house, and they were embroidered with very complicated patterns, which are better than your craftsmanship! You asked me to give them to Mrs. Wang It’s embarrassing for Mr. An to make socks—wear it, you’ve wronged yourself, don’t wear it, you’ve wronged the third master.”
After all, she was brought into the mansion by the third master, and she could tell that the old An was not a little girl who didn't have jokes and jokes. She could stay with the old An. Unwilling to spoil his son's filial piety, he let her follow him with his eyes closed.
Mrs. Chen burst into laughter and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Yu Tang rubbed his nose and said, "I see if I can help Lao An copy Buddhist scriptures."
In her previous life, she was forced by Mrs. Lin to copy many Buddhist scriptures, and practiced her hairpin lower script.
Since the old man is going to Zhaoming Temple to perform ceremonies for the old man, if she helps the old man copy a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, the old man should accept it.
Mrs. Chen sounded reasonable, and wished that Yu Tang could copy out a few big rolls immediately, and immediately called Shuangtao: "Go, bring the best paper in the master's house to the young lady, you don't have to do anything these days , Just copy the Buddhist scriptures for me at home."
Yu Tang couldn't laugh or cry.
The best paper in her father's study room was the Chengxin paper sent by Pei's house last time, and her father was reluctant to use it himself. However, she was busy going to Pei's residence these days, so she didn't see her dad much.
"Mom," she said, "where's Dad?"
Chen Shi said: "I went out with Mr. Wu, saying that I went to buy something."
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be the Li family's 50 acres of Yongye field that can grow green rice
She intended to wait for her father to come back, but the Chen family cared about the young ladies of the Pei family: "Although they are all younger than you, they grew up in a wealthy family after all. How do they get along with you? If they really can't get along, just talk to Ji." Let me tell you, let's go visit Lao An when they are not around in the future."
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." Yu Tang recalled the scene when he went to see Lao Anren today, and said, "I'm afraid that Lao An will be alone, the Miss Pei should have been told by the elders to go to Lao An's place often Walk around. However, you don't have to worry, although the temperaments of the several Miss Pei are different, but where the family is cultivated, they should not be people who like to make things difficult for others, and they are not difficult to get along with."
She is telling the truth.
Even if it was the second lady of Pei's mansion, she could clearly feel that she didn't think much of her, and she might even suspect that she had used some means to curry favor with Mr. Pei. But it was just a cold attitude towards her, and he didn't speak rudely or deliberately make things difficult for her. Not to mention Miss Si, she has always been curious. If it weren't for the tutor's cultivation, she would have asked about her own affairs in detail.
Mrs. Chen was still worried when she heard her say this, and said: "As the saying goes, the mouth that eats people is soft, but the hands that grab people are short. Next time you go to Pei's mansion, I will make some delicious snacks for the ladies in Pei's mansion Taste it."
Yu Tang responded with a smile.
Eating delicious food together can really bring people closer.
