There seems to be nothing wrong with these words at first glance, but what kind of personality is Pei Yan? How could he hesitate when answering her question

Yu Tang was puzzled, and felt that he said this to perfuse her and her father.

But before she could think about it, Pei Yan said, "What are you going to the county school for?"

The surprise in Yu Tang's heart deepened.

Pei Yan doesn't seem like a person who cares about these details.

He asked like this, but it seemed to change the subject.

So what's wrong with Gu Chang visiting Shen Shanyan

Yu Tang was very curious. However, thinking that it was impossible for Pei Yan to answer her confusion, Yu Tang didn't ask, and talked about why he went to the county school, and specifically mentioned Li Jun: "I didn't expect him to return to Lin'an City."

Rizhao is quite far from Lin'an, and it takes at least three months to go there and come back. Few people come back so quickly like Li Jun, not to mention that he is going to study under the guise of outsiders.

Pei Yan was obviously taken aback.

This made Yu Tang's curiosity even stronger.

The Gu family called Li Duan to teach them a lesson, and Gu Chang and Li Jun appeared in Lin'an City one after the other. Yu Tang felt it was impossible to say that there was no connection between them. Looking at Pei Yan's reaction, there is obviously something strange in it.

She thought that Pei Yan likes others to talk straight, and wondered if she should ask Pei Yan at this time or ask him behind her father's back. Then she saw Ah Ming running in and said, "Master Gu, Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen are here to visit together." you!"

They came so quickly!

Not only Yu Tang, but also Yu Wen was a little dazed.

On the other hand, Pei Yan, as if he had expected it, nodded calmly, and said apologetically to Yu's father and daughter: "I'm sorry, I'll meet them before I come back."

Yu Wen and Yu Tang hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "It's rare for Mr. Gu to come to Lin'an City once, and we don't have any important business. We will visit you after you are finished."

Pei Yan did not force them to stay, and called Pei Man to see them out, while he went to see Gu Chang and Shen Shanyan.

On the way back, Yu Wen discussed with Yu Tang in a low voice: "Why do I feel that the relationship between Mr. Pei San and the young master of the Gu family is not as simple as an ordinary acquaintance. What do you think? Could it be that I am overthinking? "

Yu Tang couldn't help giving his father a thumbs up in his heart.

Not only did she feel this way, but she also felt that Pei Yan had something else on her mind.

It's just that she felt that at the level of the Pei family, Pei Yan's plight and pain could not be shared by people at their level. It was better not to know about it than to peep around and cause unnecessary trouble.

"I didn't feel it." Yu Tang coaxed his father with a smile, "Maybe it's because both of them are young and promising, and they are always compared by others, so although they are not familiar with each other and have no friendship, they both know each other, right? "

She guessed irresponsibly, but convinced her father without thinking.

Yu Wen nodded and said: "You are right." Then he put the matter behind him and asked when Yu Tang and Yu Yuan planned to return to the old house of Yu's family: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. , you might as well stay in the old house for a few days. I don’t expect you to know everything about the crops, at least you have to know what will affect the harvest in the field, and I will leave it to you in the future. No one can fool you. !"

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "These two days will pass."

As for staying in the old house for a few days, it depends on whether her elder brother is willing or not!

Yu Yuan just got married, so of course he didn't want to leave Xiangshi at home, but he ran to the old house to spend a few days. Yu Tang encouraged him to take Xiangshi with him: "Sister-in-law grew up in the farm, maybe she is more familiar with these things than us, and we can also ask for advice."

Yu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately used this as an excuse to win the chance to bring Xiangshi with him when he returned to the old house.

Although Mrs. Wang is shrewd, this shrewdness is mostly placed on outsiders, but she is very lenient to the family members. Yu Yuan's excuse, which is full of loopholes, agreed without any suspicion. Not only that, she also told Xiang Shi to take good care of Yu Tang: "You are a sister-in-law!"

Xiangshi naturally knew why she went out with Yu Yuan. While she couldn't laugh or cry, she also felt sweet in her heart. She not only respectfully responded to her mother-in-law's words, but also prepared a lot of food early in the morning, and kept greeting Yu Tang on the way. eat.

Yu Tang took Xiangshi's arm with a smile, and sincerely asked her about the farm.

Xiangshi did not hide his secrets, told her one by one, and said: "You don't have to worry too much. If you encounter anything in the future, you can directly ask me."

Yu Tang kept nodding his head, and when he arrived at Yu's old house and settled Xiangshi, he and Yu Yuan went to the forest to see the seabuckthorn trees transplanted from Pei's house.

The tree grew lush and lush, and seemed to have survived, but it was supposed to be able to bear fruit, but it didn't even have a flower bud. The old man looking at the woods muttered there: "This doesn't seem to bear fruit, I don't think the young master and young lady have been deceived by others!"

Although Yu Tang couldn't make up her mind, she was able to make such a decision because Pei Yan was successful in her previous life, so even now she hears someone nagging, she is not discouraged. After walking around the mountain with Yu Yuan, they went to the fields to have a look, and talked with those experienced farmers before they returned to the old house.

Xiangshi had already ordered the accompanying mother-in-law to prepare lunch, and after lunch, Yu Yuan took them to fish in the small ditch... After a few days in Yu's old house, it didn't look like doing something, but like going out for fun of. When I returned to the city, I even loaded half a car with wild cherries, wild ducks, wild rice stems and other things.

Mrs. Chen laughed and called them "naughty", and asked Mrs. Chen to help them unload the car.

Yu Tang pointed to one of the bamboo baskets and said, "This is for Pei's house, don't throw it into the kitchen together."

Mrs. Chen lifted the blue calico cloth covering the bamboo basket to take a look, and said, "This is a wild duck egg, right? You sent it over like this and ruined it. Why don't you pickle the salted egg and send it over—the yolk of this kind of wild duck egg must be It can pickle sand."

Yu Tang didn't quite understand these things, so he naturally followed Chen's disposal.

It has not been three months since Xiang Shi got married, and just when she was about to show off in front of her in-laws, she smiled and said that she could stay and help Chen Shi: "My aunt's house also raises a lot of ducks, and we often pickle salted eggs."

Mrs. Chen was happy to give face to her new daughter-in-law, so she agreed with a smile, and even praised Mrs. Xiang: "It's hard for you to be so enthusiastic. I will ask Mrs. Chen to tell your mother-in-law that you will use it at my place at noon. Go back after lunch."

Yu Yuan felt sorry for his wife, and wanted Xiangshi to go back to rest quickly, but Yu Tang gave him winks, so he could only hold Xiangshi's hand comfortingly, followed Yu Tang to the study, and asked Yu Tang as soon as he stepped through the door: "What do you want to say? Why didn't you say it on the road before?"

It's true that with a wife, there is no sister!

Yu Tang made a face at Yu Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's find a chance to go to Suzhou City! I want to inquire about the maritime business."

I don't know why, but there are more people doing sea business in Suzhou than in Hangzhou.

Yu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that his younger sister was going to be a monster again, and his voice seemed a little nervous: "You, why are you inquiring about this? Didn't you agree before that our family would not do this business? At that time The third master introduced us to the Song family? Didn't you refuse?"

Yu Tang wanted to take advantage of this moment to board the boat of the Jiang family.

She whispered: "I don't want to do business in the sea. I just want to buy a small stock and make some money. I only use our own private money. I think our family's mountain forest will need a lot of money if it is to be repaired." .”

If you take the money directly from Yu Bo, what is self-reliance

The most important thing is that Yu Wen treated everyone equally, and after the auction of the map, he gave her and Yu Yuan two thousand taels of silver each as personal money.

These words moved Yu Yuan.

He thought for a while and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law."

Is this also a matter of discussing Xiangshi

Yu Tang was dumbfounded.

Yu Yuan shyly said: "We finally went to Suzhou City, and let your sister-in-law also go to see the world."

All right!

In her elder brother's mind, her sister-in-law is the biggest.

Yu Tang glared at Yu Yuan, but envy slowly overflowed in his heart.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Xiang helped Mrs. Chen pickle salted eggs, and Mrs. Wang came over to join in the fun when she had nothing to do.

Everyone was mixing plant ash in the patio.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen chatted: "Tell me, is Mr. Li mediocre or promoted this time? The clan of the Li family separated Li Duan's family. I don't know if I will regret it later?"

Only then did Yu Tang know that Li Duan's father, Li Yi, had completed his three-year term of office and had returned to the capital to report on his duties. The new prefect of Rizhao has already taken office, will Li Yi stay in the capital or continue to be released? Whether to be promoted to a higher level or to be promoted, there has been a lot of discussion in Lin'an City these days, and everyone is staring at Li's residence. The reason why Li Jun came back was to bring back some of Li Yi's belongings from his previous tenure in Rizhao.

Everyone is saying: "What is it? I'm afraid it's the money that I was greedy for in office? Didn't you say that the county magistrate for three years received a hundred thousand snowflakes? Mr. Li is the magistrate, and he has been the magistrate of several places!"

The Chen family doesn't care too much about these things, but if the Li family can continue to maintain the status quo, it will be more beneficial to the Yu family.

She mixed the ashes indifferently, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I think the Li family's actions are a bit inappropriate. Look at Lin'an City, it's not that no one has been an official, but is there any family like theirs that has been rumored to have brought money back of?"

Li Duan is furious about this rumor.

He got angry at Li Jun: "If you are asked to send something back, you will send it back. How could it be rumored that our family brought back a hundred thousand taels of silver from Rizhao? Who spread the word? What are you surrounded by?" Is someone on errand?"

Li Jun lowered his head and said nothing.

He was obviously three years younger than Li Duan, but his expression at this time was rather dumb, as if he was two or three years older than Li Duan. People who didn't know thought Li Jun was the older brother and Li Duan was the younger brother.

Li Duan couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.

Ever since what happened to Wei Xiaoshan, Li Jun seemed to have been unable to recover from the shock, and lost all energy.

He walked around the room a few times irritably, feeling that his anger was being suppressed in his heart, he stopped to have a good talk with Li Jun, when Lin Jue broke in.

Li Duan was very unhappy.

This is the Li family, not the Lin family, but Lin Jue walked into their house as if he was walking across the plains, as if no one had ever stopped him.

But before he could express his displeasure on his face, Lin Jue said in a deep voice, "Ah Duan, I have found out the matter, it is Peng Shifang's rumor."
