Chapter 14

·Uneasiness

Now that the specific departure date for Dong Yuluo was known, many things had to be arranged. Mrs. Huang specially took Mrs. Tang to see the house prepared for Dong Yuluo.

This room was originally occupied by Bai Xiuzhi when he was not studying in Nanjing. It was not far from Tang's room. This arrangement was made to make it easier for the two of them to move around. Later, when Bai Xiuzhi went out to study, the room remained empty.

At this moment, the two pomegranate trees planted in the open space in front of the house are blooming with orange-red flowers, which are so cheerful that it makes people like it just to look at them.

Bai Xiuzhi devoted himself to studying when he was a boy, and the furnishings in the room were too simple and clean. Apart from bookcases, tables and chairs, he did not even add any decent furniture. This time, for Dong Yuluo, he not only painted the walls, but also added a lot of furniture.

There are beautiful porcelain vases in the room with peonies picked fresh this morning.

Even though she tried her best, Huang still felt vaguely uneasy and asked Tang for her opinion, "What do you think? Is there anything else that needs to be adjusted?"

Tang looked around, looking relaxed, not as nervous as Huang, and said calmly, "I think everything is pretty good."

Tang's character has always been like this, unconcerned with the world. Everything she said was good, and she never said a bad word. Huang didn't believe it, so he pulled her and refused to leave, "Please be careful."

Look, don’t ignore even the small corners.”

Tang was a little amused to see her being so nervous that she felt like she was facing a formidable enemy, "You are usually the calmest in anything that happens to you. What happened today?"

Mrs. Huang sighed helplessly, "Stop talking! As soon as I heard that the steward surnamed Zhou said that Yu Luo was going to bring more than fifty servants this time, I panicked, for fear that something might not be done well so that the Dong family

It’s a joke. How big is the yard of Dong’s house that can accommodate so many people?”

The Bai family in Shanghai that Tang married into was even more prosperous than the Dong family, and there were many grand scenes she had seen that were several times more exaggerated than this, so she didn't take it to heart. She just thought of the Bai family and thought that she had left.

Her husband who left by herself couldn't help but feel a little sad. If he were still alive, he would definitely not let her fall to this point, right? She smiled sadly, and dealt with Huang a little tiredly, "No, it's already

Very good."

Mrs. Huang was focused on the furnishings in the room and did not notice that Mrs. Tang was in a low mood. After hearing her words, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." Then she pulled Tang and ran to the stove in the back kitchen.

Discuss the purchase with the kitchen manager.

The Tang family has a small population, and the kitchen only employs two women, both natives of Hangzhou. Both of them are named Ma, and they are uncles and sisters. The older one is the steward, but whether it is purchasing or cooking,

The two of them are responsible for each other, have a good relationship, and have never had any problems. She

It had not been long since we came to the Tang family to work. Although they had heard about the relationship between the Tang family and the Dong family from outside, they did not understand the situation of the Dong family. Seeing the restless look on the face of the Huang family, they knew that this must be an important guest.

, so I didn’t dare to neglect and made suggestions carefully and nervously.

Mr. Huang arranged everything in detail, "Chickens and ducks are all alive, so I will buy them back and raise them now. Remember to choose carefully and buy the fattest and liveliest ones. The fish is better if it is fresh. I will buy it with you often."

The ones there have agreed to book in advance and don’t show up.

Whether you need it or not, it must be fished out on the same day. If there are river shrimps and crabs, order some. You can buy the meat now, but you must go to the two restaurants you are familiar with. Make sure the pork is clean, not that

Pigs with swine fever are brought out to deceive people."

Mrs. Ma agreed repeatedly.

Huang asked again, "Can you make authentic Suzhou dim sum? I'm afraid that when Yuluo wants to eat, there won't be any at home, so what should I do?"

The two ladies looked at each other, neither knew how to make Suzhou dim sum.

Tang said from the side, "It's not like there aren't any for sale outside. Just ask my eldest brother to buy some in advance and prepare them later."

"That's okay." Huang said, but she was still worried in her heart, "What if the taste is not authentic?"

Tang couldn't help but laugh, "You are really panicking today. Yuluo grew up in Suzhou. No matter how delicious the dim sum is, she will probably be tired of it after eating it for so long. I'm afraid she would like to try our Hangzhou dim sum.

Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Ma hurriedly said, "I can make snacks from Hangzhou. I am good at sesame cakes, pepper and peach slices, and sesame candy."

While Mrs. Huang praised Mrs. Tang for her thoughtfulness, she asked Mrs. Ma to buy the raw materials and make a few first for Mrs. Tang to try to see if they tasted good.

At this time, Bai Rongxuan and Tang Xueru were staying in the room writing big characters. Naturally, they didn't know that the kitchen was already so busy. The two of them sat on the table near the window, smelling the rich fragrance of flowers outside the window, and wrote page after page carefully.

At first, Bai Rongxuan was a little distracted, but she soon calmed down and started writing without any distractions.

Tang Xueru lost her patience after writing dozens of pages. She put down her pen unhappily and muttered in a low voice, "Sister, have you met cousin Yuluo?"

Bai Rongxuan, who was writing, didn't have time to think about it and replied casually, "I've seen it." Not only have I seen it, but thanks to her help in Tianjin, she didn't end up living on the streets.

Tang Xueru immediately became interested, her eyes were surprisingly bright, "Have you seen it before? When did you see it? Why didn't I know?"

Her voice was a bit sharp, and Bai Rongxuan suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at Tang Xueru blankly, and immediately had an idea, "I met her once when I was a child, and you were there at that time. Cousin Yuluo came to Hangzhou in the past.

,don’t you remember?”

Tang Xueru shook his head blankly, "Has she been to Hangzhou? Why do I have no impression at all?"

"Maybe it's because you were still young at that time." When Bai Rongxuan said this, Tang Xueru was no longer interested in asking any more questions. Bai Rongxuan remembered that Dong Yuluo had followed her father to Hangzhou once a long time ago. At that time, her father had to go to other places for business.

Passing by Hangzhou, she stayed at the Tang family for a few days, and also played with Dong Yuluo in the West Lake for two days. In order to entertain him, the Tang family also invited a theatrical troupe to make a lot of noise with gongs and drums, so she remembered it very clearly.

However, Dong Yuluo has been living in Suzhou since then and has never been to Hangzhou again.

The two of them wrote until dark, then rubbed their sore arms and put down the pen. Even so, Tang Xueru still didn't write enough 100 pages. She was a little uneasy and accompanied by Bai Rongxuan took her 'masterpiece' with her.

In Mrs. Tang's room, Tang Songzhou was discussing with Mrs. Tang the reception for the Dong family after they arrived. Seeing that his daughter had written obediently, Tang Songzhou was very satisfied. After carefully looking at her handwriting, her tone was not as usual.

So stern, "I still have to practice hard, my writing skills are not proficient enough, and my writing is not stable." Although Tang Songzhou was a businessman, he was good at handwriting, and many shops would ask him to write inscriptions when they opened.

Tang Xueru had been tired for a day and had no energy to talk back, so she nodded in agreement.

Tang Songzhou became even more satisfied when he saw it, and said to Huang, "I will give her a box of the snacks I bought for her to try later."

These snacks were originally bought to entertain the Dong family. Huang agreed with a smile and even sent a box to Bai Rongxuan. Suzhou snacks mostly use pork suet and have a strong and sweet taste. Bai Rongxuan is not used to eating them, so she held them The snacks went to Tang's place. I didn't expect my aunt to be a good person, so she had already given a box to her mother to taste. Bai Rongxuan could only laugh sarcastically, and Wu's mother was also in the room, saying humorously, "Madam and young lady are really of the same mind. Madam also I asked you to send some snacks to you, but you came unexpectedly."

Since Tang came back from Bai's house, she had been depressed and her health had not been good, so she went to bed very early and had already laid down when it got dark. When she saw her daughter, she waved to Bai Rongxuan, "Come and sit here , talk to me."

Bai Rongxuan sat down by the bed as she was told, and immediately saw the purse she had embroidered hanging on the bedside by her mother. Tang held her daughter's hand and asked softly, "Rongxuan, how are you doing lately?"

Bai Rongxuan didn't understand why her mother suddenly asked this question, and said with some confusion, "Of course I'm better. You can tell by seeing me jumping around." She mistakenly thought that Tang's syndrome was still worried about the 'strange disease' she got during the Chinese New Year.

Tang asked nervously, "Tell me the truth, why are you always concerned about your brother's health recently? Did he tell you something?"

Bai Rongxuan's heart trembled.
