After that, Yu Tang was a little absent-minded, but until the afternoon, she didn't wait for Ah Shao to come back, but she was going back to Lin'an City again, so she had to tell the fifth uncle: "If Ah Shao comes back, tell him that we are going home first, and let him go home first." Rest here for one night and then go back." He also told the cousin who came to cook to leave a meal for Ah Shao.
The sister-in-law wiped her apron in response, and Yu Tang returned to the city.
Ah Shao came back at noon the next day.
He was sweating profusely from the heat, and while wiping the sweat with his sleeves, he said to Yu Tang: "Miss, I found out. The man is Gao Qi, from Banqiao Town, and his family runs a grocery store. A younger brother and a younger sister." At this point, he laughed, "Speaking of which, this person has something to do with our family. The third young master of the Wei family married their cousin. However, this person is not famous. How good. It is said that he has been traveling with a family merchant since he was a child to do business, and he is a bit oily, and the people around him don't like him very much."
Yu Tang was stunned.
Unexpectedly, the man was actually Gao's elder brother.
In her previous life, she had heard that Mrs. Gao had a very capable brother, but this brother had a falling out with Gao's father for some reason, and after running away with others, he didn't come back very often. Gao's eyes lit up every time he mentioned this brother, seeing Yu Yuan's dislike became more and more distasteful, more and more he felt that Yu Yuan was incompetent. Because of this, Yu Yuan was hit a lot. Once, he got very drunk because of this and fell into the river. If he was not discovered in time, he almost drowned.
Yu Tang was a little ashamed, feeling that he was too caring.
She said to A Shao: "I didn't expect that we met the cousin of the third young lady of the Wei family. I wonder why they look so familiar? Maybe their cousins look alike!"
Ah Shao chuckled.
And so it went.
That day Yutang came back from the shop and saw that some of the grapes in the backyard were already ripe, so he and Shuangtao took a pair of scissors and picked a bamboo basket to pick grapes, but Ma Xiuniang came home with a big belly.
Yu Tang was startled, and quickly helped Ma Xiuniang to sit down in the hall, and asked Shuang Tao to bring in a bowl of mung bean soup poured from well water.
Who knew that before Ma Xiuniang received the bowl, she was stopped by Mrs. Chen who knew that Ma Xiuniang was here: "You two are worried, Xiuniang is about to give birth, this mung bean is cold, she can drink it Shuang Tao, give this bowl of mung bean soup to A Tang, and you go and bring a bowl of lotus seed soup."
Shuangtao trembled in fright, almost broke the bowl, quickly gave the mung bean soup to Atang, and ran to the kitchen.
"Auntie!" Ma Xiuniang supported her waist and was about to stand up.
However, Mrs. Chen walked to Ma Xiuniang's side in three steps at a time, supported her, and said: "You are in such a heavy month, why are you talking about this kind of etiquette to your aunt? Sit down quickly, and be careful not to move your waist. "And ordered Yu Tang, "Go and grab some dried fruit from my house to make refreshments for your sister Xiu."
Yu Tang hurriedly grabbed the dried fruit and came in.
Mrs. Chen had already sat down with Ma Xiuniang, and talked about the child in a warm voice: "...Have you washed and dried the little quilts and clothes at home? Are you ready for the honeysuckle water for bathing and the ice powder for wiping your butt?"
Ma Xiuniang smiled and answered one by one.
Yu Tang placed the box containing dried fruits in front of Ma Xiuniang, and Shuangtao's lotus seed soup was also brought in.
Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Eat and drink to give you energy so you can walk."
Ma Xiuniang thanked her.
Mrs. Chen asked her why she came: "It's such a hot day, and you are inconvenient. If you feel bored, just ask someone to send a letter to ask Atang to keep you company. When you give birth, just hold her." Bringing the child over to play, just kill A Tang's temperament, let her take care of the child for you."
Ma Xiuniang smiled shyly, and said, "Auntie, I heard good news, so I couldn't resist running over here!"
"What good news?" Yu Tang and Chen Shi said in unison.
Ma Xiuniang raised her eyebrows and said with an excited smile, "Auntie, Ah Tang, I heard that the Gu family and the Li family have divorced!"
The Gu family and the Li family
Gu Xi and Li Duan
Yu Tang and Chen couldn't hide their surprise.
Ma Xiuniang laughed for a while, and said, "Auntie and A-Tang don't know yet, right? The news has already spread, but it seems that it hasn't reached Auntie and A-Tang's ears yet. However, the Li family's shit luck It's pretty good. Although he was dismissed by the Gu family, Mr. Li has a prosperous official career. I heard that he stayed in the capital. Although his rank has not changed, he has been appointed as the Secretary of the General Administration, Zuo Tongzheng. Their family is very proud now. Those who originally wanted to laugh at them because they were resigned by the Gu family have no reason to talk about their family. Otherwise, you must have gotten the letter a long time ago!"
In the previous life, Li Yi also stayed in the capital after his tenure in Rizhao expired, but he didn't arrange any official position for a while, until Li Duan and Gu Xi got married, he was appointed as the young minister of Taichang Temple. After Gu Xi gave birth to his eldest son, he was promoted to Taichang Temple Pu Siqing became one of the nine ministers, and he had a voice in court discussions, and the Li family became a real family of officials.
In this life, the Li family and the Gu family resigned, and Li Yi was promoted to Zuo Tongzheng, the Secretary of the General Administration.
Yu Tang suspected that the Gu family was involved in this.
Otherwise, how could the Li family agree to divorce so easily
She pulled Ma Xiuniang and said, "The Gu family and the Li family divorced, so the Li family didn't say anything?"
Ma Xiuniang curled her lips, and said disdainfully: "What can the Li family say? Does it mean that their son was rejected by the Gu family or that there is something wrong with the young lady of the Gu family? Since neither side can say anything, then the only thing we can do is knock out teeth and swallow blood." To the outside world, it is only said that the two people's horoscopes are not compatible. I asked the master of Zhaoming Temple to untie the lottery several times but couldn't untie it. Seeing that they are going to get married, the eldest son of the Li family fell down while walking today, and was shocked when he went out tomorrow. One day, Ms. Gu's family suddenly developed ringworm, which grew from her arms to her face. Later, the sixth master of the Gu family asked the eminent monk in the capital to make a fortune, saying that the marriage of the two people was not in the same place, and they were forced to come together. Together, if you don't withdraw the marriage now, there will be hardships in the future. When the two families heard about it, they simply divorced the marriage."
Speaking of this, Ma Xiuniang sneered a few times, and said: "Then Mrs. Li still put gold on her face, saying that although the marriage failed, Li and Gu are still relatives. Gu Liuye and Mr. Li After sworn brothers, if anything happens to the Li family in the future, just go to Gu Liuye!"
The world of the Chen family is in this house. In her eyes, the gap between the Yu family and the Li family has been closed by Pei Yan as an intermediary. Whether the Li family retires or gets promoted, it has nothing to do with the Yu family. She didn't take it to heart, smiled and said nothing.
But Yu Tang was itchy in his heart, wondering if it was because of his quarrel that the Gu family resigned, and even helped Li Yi find a good job. In exchange, the Li family had no choice but to withdraw from the marriage Concession, had to shut up.
Unfortunately, her father is not at home.
No, even if her father was at home, he wouldn't tell her these things, maybe he would think that she broke the marriage, and told her not to mention it again.
The one who can talk freely with her... After much deliberation... It seems that only Master Pei San is the only one.
Then does she want to meet Pei Yan
Yu Tang hesitated, but in the end he couldn't control his schadenfreude, so he brought two boxes of tea bought in Suzhou City, and asked someone to deliver a letter to Pei Yan, saying that he wanted to see him.
Pei Yan was resting at home, and didn't think too much about hearing the words, and met Yu Tang in the farming garden where he lived.
Because he came to see Pei Yan, Yu Tang dressed more formally. Silver and white striped hang silk beanie, white silk skirt, double snail bun, wearing pearl flowers, and some lip balm bought in Suzhou city, she came out looking flawless. But the problem was that the weather was too hot. First, she was bored in the sedan chair for a while, and then walked all the way with the servant of Pei's family. When she reached the gate of Gengyuan, she felt as if her back was wet with sweat.
Fortunately, the plowing garden is full of dense green trees, the canopy of which is like an umbrella, covering the sky and the sun, and a small stream flows by the side of the corridor paved with bluestone slabs, and the cool air blows to her face, making her cool immediately stand up.
She breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if she should quietly find a place to wipe off her sweat before meeting Pei Yan, but when she turned around, she saw Pei Yan wearing a muslin and white gauze robe, lying comfortably in the gazebo by the stream He was reading a book on the rocking chair, and on both sides stood a little girl with bright eyes and white teeth shaking a fan. The coffee table in hand was filled with colorful melons and fruits on a crystal plate. Looking at him from a distance, one could feel his comfort and leisure.
People are really more popular than people!
How can this guy enjoy it so much
Yu Tang slandered a few words in his heart, feeling that there was still a distance between him and Pei Yan, some words might not be appropriate for him to hear.
She suddenly felt that her interest in speaking had faded a bit, her face inevitably showed a bit of hesitation, and her steps slowed down.
Ah Ming, who brought her in, didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing this, she couldn't help but whispered with concern: "Miss Yu, what's the matter with you? Are you tired from walking? We'll be there soon. Gengyuan is in Funan, a little away from the waist gate. Far."
Hearing this, Yu Tang perked up.
It's come, it's too inappropriate to say go at this time.
"No," she said to Ah Ming with a smile, "I just looked around because I saw the scenery here is good."
Ah Ming waved her hands disapprovingly after hearing this, and said, "What's so good here? They're all trees, and only the third master likes them. The place where our family's old man lives is good. There are clusters of flowers all year round. Red fruit."
Perhaps the unique scenery in the eyes of others is nothing more than mediocrity in the eyes of the Pei family who have seen it a lot!
Yu Tang smiled, and was about to chat with Ah Ming, but Ah Ming suddenly stopped, saluted respectfully, and called out "Third Lord".
She looked along Ah Ming.
Pei Yan didn't know when she stood up from the rocking chair, and looked at them with her hands on the railing of the gazebo.
"Third Master!" Yu Tang also greeted him.
Pei Yan nodded.
Ah Ming led Yu Tang into the gazebo.
Pei Yan leaned on the railing, pointed casually, and said "sit".
Yu Tang looked around.
In this gazebo, besides the rocking chair that Pei Yan is lying on, it is the coffee table next to the rocking chair. Let her sit, where can she sit
She couldn't sit on the rocking chair he was lying on just now, could she
Yu Tang was scratching his head, thinking whether he should politely say "No", a man appeared from nowhere, and put a high chair behind her.
Yu Tang's face turned red, and he quickly suppressed the thoughts in his head, and sat down on the top chair as if gracefully.
