Gu Xi couldn't help but smile slightly.
The smile is humble and gentle.
The more at this time, the more low-key and calm she will behave, making people feel that she is trustworthy, calm, and capable of great things.
This is the right attitude.
Yu Tang was also laughing.
She knew that when she said that, everyone would think that she wanted to invite Gu Xi to take charge. In this way, the idea she came up with made Gu Xi famous, she was a little too sincere. It would be fine if the young ladies of the Pei family were muddle-headed and drifters. If she suffered a disadvantage, others might think she was too stupid. But these Miss Pei are all upright and pure people, and they will definitely not erase her credit so easily.
Speaking of which, she discovered these when she carefully observed Gu Xi's actions before.
She learned from Gu Xi.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Gu Xi couldn't hold back the surprise in her heart, she pretended to remain silent, and waited for others to push her forward, and she said a few more words of humility so that she could take over and preside over the matter. The young ladies of Pei's family opened their eyes wide at the same time.
Therefore, when the eyes of the young ladies of the Pei family fell on Gu Xi, and Gu Xi avoided Yu Tang's eyes a little, Yu Tang laughed more cheerfully in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "Why?" Sorry to trouble Ms. Gu? When I was studying with my father, I saw a few ancient recipes for making Buddhist incense, but I was not interested in these before, so I didn’t pay much attention to them. This time I suddenly remembered, I thought, can Instead of following the ancient recipes for making Buddhist incense, we researched Buddhist incense and taught the nuns and laymen in the temple to make it. This can not only improve the chewing function of the people in the temple, but also allow them to have more leisure time in their spare time. A way to pass the time."
Before Yu Tang finished speaking, Gu Xi and the ladies of the Pei family were dumbfounded.
Miss Wu even jumped up and said, "Sister Yu, is your incense recipe reliable? My grandfather said that many learned scholars can share their knowledge with everyone, but they never show their recipes to others casually. What if those ancient prescriptions were just randomly written by the person who wrote the book?"
The fourth lady thought completely differently, but she spoke as directly as the fifth lady, saying, "Sister Yu, have you ever made this kind of incense before? What if you can't make it well? Wouldn't it be a waste of manpower and material resources? Sister Gu has made incense herself anyway, she must have experience, I think we might as well ask Sister Gu to help teach those nuns and lay people how to make incense. Why bother?"
Third Miss frowned.
She felt that if this was the case, Yu Tang's heart was a little small.
Yu Tang saw it clearly, but before he could refute, the second lady had already jumped out and said sincerely: "Miss Yu, I think you and Sister Gu should preside over this matter together—Sister Gu is responsible for teaching those nuns and lay Buddhists to make Buddhas. Fragrance, Ms. Yu is in charge of explaining to the two elders that everyone is discussing how to sell Buddhist incense. Wine is also afraid of deep alleys, and they are counting on Kuan Temple to sell Buddhist incense themselves, I am afraid they will not be able to support themselves , our family alone probably won’t use so much Buddhist incense.”
Yu Tang smiled.
She really likes the ladies in Pei's mansion.
Even if the second lady is biased towards Gu Xi, she will still be reasonable.
It's a pity that she is targeting Gu Xi, so she won't let Gu Xi run away.
"It's not that I don't want Ms. Gu's help!" Yu Tang made a look of embarrassment on purpose, "Do you know why I think it's not good for Ms. Gu to teach the artificial incense in Ku'an Temple?"
The young ladies of Pei's family shook their heads one after another, and Gu Xi also listened attentively, as if trying to catch her.
Yu Tang said: "The incense made by Ms. Gu really smells good. I have also received a gift from Ms. Gu, and I know that Ms. Gu is good at making incense. However, the incense made by Ms. Gu is a play in the boudoir after all. No, if I teach the nuns and laymen in the monastery to make a lot of them... I always feel a little uneasy, why don't we find another incense recipe. Or Ms. Gu can provide another suitable incense recipe, but we have to Keep it a secret, and no one is allowed to tell it."
If you do unknown good deeds, what good deeds do you do? !
Gu Xi instinctively wanted to object, but fortunately, when the words came to her lips, she suddenly woke up and didn't say them out.
After hearing Yu Tang's scruples, the ladies of the Pei family nodded their heads, and even the second lady who didn't like Yu Tang very much said shyly, "Sister Yu is more calm than us. This kind of thing is true." You can't let Sister Gu bear the burden of her reputation."
Gu Xi was very angry, but she couldn't refute Yu Tang's words, her eyes became sharper when she looked at Yu Tang, and she thought in her heart, if Yu Tang really asked her to contribute without making her famous, she would no matter what. They had to find an excuse to push this matter away, let Yu Tang and the Pei family go about their own work, and let them know that doing good deeds is not so easy.
Seeing Gu Xi's angry look, Yu Tang was secretly happy in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled, and then said in a calm and generous voice: "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Second. However, I am too young after all, so I still need to discuss such a big matter with my elders." That's right. I think, should we talk to the second wife first to see if the second wife thinks it's feasible?"
The young ladies of Pei's family were taken aback when they heard this, but then cheered and said that this should be done.
It is a good thing to have good intentions, but good intentions may not necessarily lead to good things.
The young ladies of Yu's family began to discuss livelyly whether this matter is feasible or not.
This one asked if Yu Tang's ancient incense recipe was reliable, the other asked whether the materials for making incense were good to buy, and who should be sent by the mansion to manage the Ku'an Temple...I didn't know if it was feasible or not, and I only had a few people for a while. I have already begun to think that the Buddhist incense of Ku'an Temple is popular in Lin'an City, making everyone in Hangzhou famous.
Gu Xi sat there with a smile on his face, did not participate in the discussion, and just watched from the sidelines.
Yu Tang was overjoyed.
Even if she read Xiangfang from the book while studying, she couldn't pay attention.
She didn't like these since she was a child.
The incense prescription that she will write to the female family members of the Pei family later was donated by Gu Xi to raise funds for Zhaoming Temple five years later.
The incense in Zhaoming Temple is so good, the one thousand taels that Gu Xi raised was just icing on the cake, presumably she gave it to Ku'an Temple, which is more in need, and the Buddha would not blame her.
She quietly recited "Amitabha" a few times in her heart.
Aunt Chen came in and stopped them with a smile: "Keep your voice down, I heard it as soon as I came out of the hall. I have ordered the two old An to bring Mr. Yang here."
Second Miss blushed.
Third Miss, Fourth Miss, and Fifth Miss said "Huh" to Second Miss in unison.
The second miss was so ashamed that she was about to burrow into the ground, and the three ladies of the Pei family let the second miss go.
Gu Xi looked at it and twitched the corners of his mouth.
Yu Tang thought it was interesting, so he took the seat by the window sill first, and opened a gap, trying to see what Yang Yan looked like.
Fifth Miss and Fourth Miss took advantage of being the youngest, lying on her back with a smile and unable to get up, they competed with Yu Tang for the seat by the window sill.
Yu Tang had no choice but to say: "Then we only watch two breaths of kung fu, and the rest of the time is the second lady's, what do you think?"
The second young lady was both ashamed and annoyed, and said: "I don't want to know what he looks like!"
"Yes!" Yu Tang teased her, "Second Miss can come into the hall to serve tea later, we can only have a look here."
The three Miss Pei smiled at Second Miss again.
The second young lady's face was so red that she could bleed, the fourth young lady hurriedly said: "Quickly stop talking, Mr. Yang is coming in."
Yu Tang also didn't care about talking to the Miss Pei, and tiptoed to look out the window.
I saw Mrs. Chen leading a young man in a sapphire blue five-bat tuanhuahang silk straight gown.
He was tall, well-proportioned, and elegant. He looked like he was just in his early twenties, and his gestures were calm.
Yu Tang thinks this person should be good.
But in her two lifetimes, she has never seen a more handsome man than Pei Yan.
She backed away after looking at it twice, and said to the third lady who wanted to see but couldn't squeeze in: "You also have a quick look at it. Otherwise, Mr. Yang will enter the hall."
Third Miss smiled silently, and squeezed together with Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss.
Yu Tang smiled and frowned, and when he raised his head, he met Gu Xi's cold eyes.
She didn't avoid it.
She didn't do anything wrong, and she wasn't afraid of Gu Xi's scrutiny.
Gu Xi was surprised.
She thought of when Yu Tang first came to Pei Mansion... When did Yu Tang become so courageous? Is it because of Pei Yan
Gu Xi sneered.
Yu Tang looked at her calmly, with a calm expression, until Miss Fourth's long sigh echoed in the waiter, and she was distracted.
"What's the matter?" The second young lady didn't see anyone, and she was worried when she heard some troubles.
Fourth Miss sighed again, and said, "Second Sister is getting married soon..."
The nonsensical words were indirectly praising Yang Yan.
The second lady was concerned, but before she could react, Yu Tang and the others had already understood, and they were all laughing. When Second Miss finally understood, Aunt Chen came in and invited Second Miss to serve tea. Second Miss hurriedly followed Aunt Chen as if running away, causing Yu Tang and the others to laugh again.
Yu Tang was still thinking about his aunt's cousin, and seeing that it was time to leave here, he had to go back to his room first: "I'll go and finish writing Xiangfang, and I have something to hand over when I go to see the second wife later. It also prevents the elders from thinking that we are acting on a whim."
The third lady agreed very much, and said for the first time: "Sister Yu, I will accompany you back to the room."
Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss also clamored to go.
Gu Xi couldn't see how everyone was wandering around Yu Tang, and she also wanted to avoid this matter a little bit, thinking that you, Yu Tang, aren't you amazing? Then I will not say a word, let's see what kind of Buddha incense you can make? Anyway, it has nothing to do with her if things are done well, and she cannot be blamed if things go wrong.
She said: "I didn't rest well at noon, so I won't go there. Call me later when you go to see the second wife."
Gu Xi really wanted to know the attitude of Pei's parents.
