Chapter 180 Good Deeds



Yu Tang and several young ladies from the Pei family returned to their own residences first, wrote down the incense recipes according to their memories, and then checked them carefully again. After finding no mistakes, they handed the recipes to the third young lady and said, "You can help me check it too. These are the three recipes that I remember."

Among the young ladies in Pei's house, the second young lady is most interested in making incense. Occasionally, she will personally make some incense or Buddhist incense. She and Gu Xi quickly became good friends, which is probably related to this interest. But the second young lady is not here now.

The third young lady was dispensable, but she loved reading and was very curious about everything. She took the incense recipe and looked at it carefully, then her eyes gradually brightened, and she said to Yu Tang with some excitement: "I think we can give it a try. If Miss Yu trusts me, I will try to make some Buddhist incense according to the incense recipe you wrote and let the two old Ans smell it."

There is nothing Yu Tang doesn't believe.

She had been planning to ask Gu Xi to help her try it out, but it couldn't be better that the Third Miss took the initiative to ask for it.

However, she didn't expect that the third young lady could also make incense.

The fourth young lady laughed and said, "Sister Yu misunderstood. The third young lady doesn't like to use scented clothes, but it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to make scented clothes."

That’s right, there are many things that young ladies from aristocratic families can learn. As long as they are interested, they can find a teacher to teach them. This is something that ordinary families cannot compare to.

"Then I'll trouble Miss Third." Yu Tang said with a smile.

The Third Miss shook her hands repeatedly and said, "This is a charity. Anyone who knows about it will help. It's too polite for Sister Yu to say that."

The fourth lady didn't seem to be very interested in making incense, and the fifth lady was too young to understand. The incense recipe was passed around among the three people and then returned to Yu Tang's hands.

Yu Tang asked Shuang Tao to make tea and bring snacks to entertain them, and asked them if they wanted to rest here for a while.

The three Miss Pei shook their heads, and the topic somehow turned to Mr. Yang again.

Yu Tang then realized that the Third Miss had been engaged, and it was a childhood marriage. The fiancé was her uncle's son, two or three months younger than the Third Miss. It might be that the man grew up late, so he was only half a head taller than the Third Miss. The Third Miss had always been worried that he would not grow tall.

When she saw Mr. Yang, she became even more worried.

But the fourth young lady said, "If I had known earlier, you shouldn't have agreed to this marriage. My grandmother said that marriages can't be arranged too early. If a person grows up to be crooked, there will be no place to cry. In the future, the eldest sister and the second sister will bring their brother-in-law back to their parents' home to visit relatives. What will you do?"

The third young lady was almost crying.

Yu Tang was listening nearby, trying hard not to laugh. Seeing this, he hurriedly comforted the Third Miss, "Don't listen to what the Fourth Miss said. Your father and mother treated you like the apple of their eye. They must have thought your cousin had good qualities, so they arranged this marriage for you. You don't have to worry so much."

The third young lady nodded with a bitter face, but she was still unhappy.

Several people tried to comfort her for a long time, but the third young lady was not only not relieved, but became more and more depressed.

Only then did Yu Tang realize that the Third Miss was the kind of person who liked to anticipate a bad ending for everything.

This is a bit of a headache.

Fortunately, the two old ladies had finished meeting the guests, and Ah Shan, who was left there, ran over to tell them: "The two old ladies are talking privately, and the second wife is arranging the maids and old women to pack up and prepare to return to the other courtyard."

Yu Tang sent someone to call Gu Xi, and also asked someone to inform the second wife.

After a while, Gu Xi came over, and the Second Wife's personal maid also came over, saying that they were ordered by the Second Wife to go to the next door room to serve tea.

The group went next door.

In the yard, servants and maids were coming and going. Several maids surrounded the second wife and stood under the eaves of the main house, urging the servants and maids to pack up.

Seeing Yu Tang and the others, the Second Madam came forward with a smile, took the Fifth Miss's hand, and said to them, "Come sit inside, it's a mess here." She asked them if they were hungry, and said, "It will be dark by the time we get home, so you should eat something to fill your stomach." She also praised Yu Tang, "The snacks are delicious and delivered on time, you really took the trouble."

Yu Tang quickly apologized.

What she could think of, the maids and servants of the Pei family could naturally think of as well. The Second Wife was just praising her because she was promoting her. If she became proud of it or took it seriously, thinking that no one else could be as capable as her, then it would be a joke.

Everyone sat down according to their rank, and the maids served tea and snacks. The second wife then said to Yu Tang in a gentle voice, "I have heard about your matter from the old woman. This is a great thing. I will definitely support you. Tell me, do you want money or people? I have already arranged everything for you."

The Fifth Miss giggled and leaned against her mother's side, saying, "We just want to ask you if this is feasible. If it is feasible, we will ask the two old Ans to make a decision. In addition, Sister Yu wrote a few incense recipes, and we also need your help to see if they are feasible."

She also told the second wife that the third young lady would help to trial-make Buddhist incense.

The second wife was very pleased.

When a few young people get together to do good deeds, it can not only enhance the friendship between sisters, but also make them more compassionate.

The second wife was very swift and decisive this time. She stood up immediately after hearing what was said and said, "This will definitely work. The two old Ans will definitely support you. You should follow me to meet the two old Ans. We will be going back to the villa soon. We can settle this matter while we are still in Ku'an Temple. In a few days, we will also go down the mountain and return to Lin'an City."

From Lin'an to Ku'an Temple, the journey is quite long. More importantly, both the two old Ans and the second wife have to start busying themselves with New Year's social activities.

The youngsters were extremely happy and followed the Second Madam joyfully to Old An's place.

The fourth young lady, who always liked to make a fuss, even pulled the second wife aside and asked, "Is the second sister still with Old Lady An? Has Young Master Yang gone back? Has Old Lady An agreed to the Yang family's marriage?"

The Second Wife probably understood the Fourth Miss's character, so she didn't get angry. Instead, she pinched her cheek with amusement and said, "You are a little kid, why do you focus on these things every day? Have you finished all the homework that the master assigned to you when he left the hotel? After we go down the mountain, your uncle's cousins ​​will come to give your mother New Year gifts, and you also have to visit your uncle's house. If you haven't finished your homework, I don't know if your mother will let you go out with your brothers and sisters..."

Not only did she stop the fourth young lady from speaking, she also caused her to keep begging the second wife, "I will never talk nonsense again," which made everyone laugh.

Soon, they arrived at the room where the two old Ans were resting. The second young lady was standing in front of the two old Ans with a blushing face, saying something. When she saw them come in, she immediately ran to the side.

The two old An ladies smiled at each other, and Old An Lady Pei ordered the maid beside her to serve tea and snacks to Yu Tang and others.

The group sat down together, and the second wife told the two old Ans about the purpose of Yu Tang and others' visit. The two old Ans were surprised and happy, and praised the young people. Pei Lao An waved his hand domineeringly and said, "Such a good thing, what is there to discuss? Doesn't Ku'an Temple want to stand up on its own? Then no matter how much we, the Pei family, help, can only take care of their three meals a day. It is impossible to save the world."

The second wife nodded repeatedly and asked Mr. Pei: "Should we invite the abbot of Ku'an Temple to talk about this matter?"

Elder Yi spoke before Elder Pei and said, "I think we should talk about it. What if they don't want to? We would be worrying about them in vain."

Mr. Pei nodded and told Aunt Ji, "Go and invite the abbot of Ku'an Temple to come over."

Yu Tang was secretly thinking in his heart.

In the past life, Kuan Temple seemed to have always relied on the output from the surrounding few acres of land and the mountains, as well as the donations from pilgrims to survive. It was not known whether they were unwilling to be independent or had never had the opportunity.

She couldn't guess how the host master would react.

The handkerchief in Gu Xi's hand was crumpled into a ball.

As she expected, the elders of the Pei family began to actively do this, but unfortunately the idea was proposed by Yu Tang. Even if she wanted to help, it would only add to Yu Tang's reputation. She was not willing to do this.

Gu Xi couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang lowered her head, her long eyelashes fluttering like a small fan, looking particularly gentle and soft.

But she was able to come up with the idea of ​​teaching Kuan Temple to make incense to get out of the predicament.

How can such a person have a gentle and kind heart? !

Gu Xi sneered in his heart.

The abbot of Kuan Temple has arrived.

She may have found out in advance what the two old Ans wanted to discuss with her. She looked a little excited. When she saw the two old Ans, she bowed deeply and recited "Buddha bless us, let us meet good people in Ku'an Temple" several times in a row.

The two old An people did not exchange pleasantries with her and directly stated their intentions.

The head monk was so happy that tears came to his eyes, and his miserable face suddenly became more radiant: "Since I started to manage Ku'an Temple 20 years ago, I have always wanted to find a way out for Ku'an Temple. I have tried growing dried bamboo shoots and selling pickled vegetables, but with little success. The two old Ans can show a way out for these poor people in our Ku'an Temple. We, we will be grateful to the two old Ans in our next lives and will erect longevity tablets for them..." As he said this, he was about to kneel down and pay his respects.

Fortunately, Aunt Chen and Aunt Ji quickly lifted the host master up and did not let her kneel down. Aunt Chen also said: "What are you going to do? Isn't this embarrassing for our two old Ans? Sit down and talk it over. Our old Ans just thought about it and mentioned it. Whether it is feasible or not, don't we have to consult you?"

The host master finally calmed down a little, smiled awkwardly and sat on the embroidery cushion beside him.

Mr. Pei's gaze fell on Yu Tang.

Yu Tang understood immediately.

Seeing that it was she who came up with the idea, Mr. Pei wanted to push her out and let her explain the incense-making to the master.

Yu Tang hurriedly shook his head towards Mr. Pei and made a pleading expression.
