Without preface, Yu Tang knew that Gu Xi was one year older than her.
But she still smiled and reported her year of birth.
Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her head to Pei Lao'an and Mrs. Shen and said, "It's my sister!"
Yu Tang thought about the grievances between the two of them in the previous life, and the faces that Gu Xi showed her. She didn't want to embarrass herself anymore and call Gu Xi sisters.
"Miss Gu!" She called out to Gu Xi with a smile, the alienation in her attitude was visible to the naked eye.
Gu Xi didn't show her face, but her eyes shrank, and her smile was still lively and said: "Sister, don't be annoyed, I am not usually like this, but seeing my sister is so beautiful, I really like it, so I can't help but lose my sense of proportion. My sister will apologize to you." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Yu Tang's arm.
Yu Tang sneered in his heart when he heard this.
Is this accusing her of having a bad temper
Gu Xi in the previous life was not so stingy
Is it because I am not as depressed as when they met for the first time in their previous lives
It can be seen how hypocritical Gu Xi's kindness and generosity in her previous life were!
However, who wouldn't use eye drops? !
She looked towards the old An.
Old An nodded secretly, thinking that although this young lady of the Yu family had some minor problems, the roots were not bad. Although she introduced Miss Yu to Mrs. Shen and others as her relative, Miss Yu was not after all. Gu Xi's enthusiasm for Yu Tang is obviously aimed at her face. Sister and sister's love seems simple, but if they really communicate, they are deeply involved. Yu Tang was able to ask for her opinion at this critical moment, which shows that he still has a steelyard in his heart, and he is someone who can tell the difference between the important and the important.
"She's timid." Old An smiled, and protected Yu Tang when he opened his mouth, "Since you are a sister, don't be as knowledgeable as her." After speaking, he turned his head and began to ask Mrs. Shen why she came. "I remember you said that the little grandson at home needs to be taken care of. Mr. Shen hasn't seen you here for five or six years since he came to Lin'an. What's the matter this time? Are you here to visit Mr. Shen? Or is there something at home? If I can help If you are busy, you can just say it. Let’s not talk about the relationship between Mr. Shen and our second child. When our old man was alive, Mr. Shen was the one he admired the most. The two often drink and go out together. Since you are in Lin’an, Don't treat us as outsiders."
He didn't mention a word about Yu Tang and Gu Xi's preface.
The implication is to oppose Gu Xi and Yu Tang's sisters and sisters.
Gu Xi bit her lip and cast a quick glance at Yu Tang.
With an outstanding appearance, he is also graceful in his gestures. At first glance, he is not from a small family. So what kind of relationship is she with Lao An
Why didn't Old An let her have sex with Miss Yu
Could it be that it is inappropriate for her to call Ms. Yu "sister"
When the thought came together, Gu Xi was taken aback by herself, and then her heart started beating wildly.
Mrs. Shen is a generation younger than Mrs. Shen, and she came with Mrs. Shen again. She looks like Mrs. Shen's junior, that is, the granddaughter of Mrs. Shen... Could it be that Miss Yu is Mrs. Shen's third wife? Master prepared... fiancee!
Gu Xi couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang again.
Yu Tang was quietly listening to the old An, and didn't notice Gu Xi's sizing up. Moreover, even if she noticed Gu Xi's scrutiny, she wouldn't take it to heart.
In the previous life, they were sisters-in-law, living under the same roof, and she had nowhere to go, so there was nothing she could do. In this life, she has both parents and elder brother and sister-in-law to help, even if Gu Xi doesn't like her again, why would she touch her!
On Mrs. Shen's side, Yu Tang discovered something interesting.
According to Mrs. Shen, when she came to Ancheng, she was entrusted by Gu Chang to accompany Gu Xi. Pei Yan's aunt knew about it, so she asked her to bring some things here. Besides food and medicinal materials, these things also had some popular Jiangnan dialects in recent years.
Gu Xi was engaged to Li Duan before. Is it appropriate for her to come to Ancheng like this
If there is anything Gu Chang can't send his personal entourage or staff to help him, he wants to ask Mrs. Shen to accompany Gu Xi to Ancheng. Mrs. Shen came to Pei's house to visit, so why bring Gu Xi with her
No matter how you think about it, Yu Tang feels that this matter is a bit strange.
But as long as Gu Xi's arrival does not involve the safety of the Yu family, then it has nothing to do with her.
Yu Tang didn't intend to ask any more questions, and continued to sit quietly by the side and listen to Lao An and Mrs. Shen talking.
Gu Xi was in a mess.
It was simply an excuse that she came to An'an to meet Shen Shanyan. In fact, she came to see Lao An, and it is best to make Lao An feel good about her.
Thinking of this, her face became a little hot.
The Li family is useless. According to her brother, it would be the best choice if she could successfully marry the Pei family. Especially since she felt that since she divorced the Li family, it's best not to have anything to do with people in Lin'an City. As a result, Gu Chang told her all the children from the aristocratic families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there really was no more suitable candidate than Pei Yan.
Gu Chang also found out that the Pei family had high hopes for Pei Yan before, and they would not marry girls who were not members of the third rank or above, and even their marriage contract with Li Xun's family, Minister of Rites and Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar, was true. But before the marriage of the two families was settled, Mrs. Pei went, and the marriage between Pei Yan and Li's family was put on hold.
Originally, they did not dare to fight with the Li family, after all, the Li family and the Pei family had a marriage contract. But just last month, it was heard that the third young lady who was the only one to be married in the Li family got engaged to the son of Yang Shoudao, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, which shows that something happened to the marriage contract between the Li family and the Pei family.
It's hard to find a son-in-law. Like Pei Yan, everyone used to think that he had a verbal agreement with the Li family and would not make any plans for him. Now that he is free, once the news spreads, I don't know how many people will stare at it. Don't mention them taking care of the family, even the three aunts and six uncles of his mentor Zhang Ying's family will be anxious to lure Pei Yan, a wealthy son-in-law, to their house.
Gu Xi thought about it and sighed secretly.
Comparing the two, their Gu family is stronger than the Qian family. But the bad thing is that their Gu family doesn't have much friendship with the Pei family, especially among the female relatives, there is no one who can speak decently with the female relatives of the Pei family. If their stepmother was entrusted to do things, their stepmother would have messed up the matter if she didn't turn Pei Yan into her natal niece and son-in-law. As for other people, it is even more unreliable.
After much deliberation, Gu Chang decided on Mrs. Shen.
Of course, with Mrs. Shen's character, she is not the best candidate for this job, but Mrs. Shen can take Gu Xi to Pei's house, if Gu Xi can leave a good impression on the old An , compared to other hearsay girls, Gu Xi has a greater chance of winning.
Gu Xi's thinking is simpler than Gu Chang's.
If Pei Yan is not as good as her brother said, even if her brother insists, she will not agree to this marriage.
Rather than marrying a useless thing, she would rather stay at home forever, be a proud aunt, and live a carefree life at home.
But she is very strong. Although I don't know if she has a relationship with Pei Yan, but since she appeared in front of Lao An and the Pei family, she will do her best, show her best side, and let others Speaking of her, she will give her a thumbs up and praise her.
Therefore, it is especially important to make a good impression in front of Pei Lao'an and the second wife of the Pei family.
Gu Xi drank tea with a dignified and elegant posture, secretly thinking about how to find out Yu Tang's background.
The more Yu Tang listened to Mrs. Shen's words, the more she felt strange.
Mrs. Shen wanted to borrow a few days with Gu Xi at Pei's house, the reason was that Shen Shanyan didn't rent a house in Lin'an, but lived in the county school, and there were too many scholars in the county school, and Shen Shanyan didn't set up an inner house or an outer courtyard , men and women are different, it is inconvenient for her and Gu Xi to live there.
Yu Tang couldn't hold back, and looked at Mrs. Shen in surprise.
If you haven't seen your husband for such a long time, shouldn't you be happy and find a chance to stay with your husband if you don't have a chance? Why did she stay away from Mrs. Shen when she came here
No matter how dull Yu Tang was, he could still see that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were at odds.
Could this be one of the reasons why Mr. Shen came to Lin'an but didn't bring his family
She didn't know the answer, but she could clearly see that the old An didn't like Mrs. Shen.
"You are a teacher's wife, what's the inconvenience?" Old An was even a little harsh when he said this, "I think you are sometimes too polite. At this age, you can still relax if you can. it is good."
Mrs. Shen obviously didn't like to hear old An's words like this, she said: "If old An's place is inconvenient, I will go to the inn to stay for two days first, but I don't feel relieved that Miss Gu will follow me, so please ask old An to take her in." A few days."
This is true.
No matter how good the inn is, I'm afraid of encountering those unscrupulous people.
Old An frowned, and finally took a step back, and said, "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to come and go to the county school. Since you think it's nothing like this, I can talk about it here. I think you can live here. My place Nothing else, just too many rooms. Which one do you want to live in.”
Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi lived in like this.
When going out, Yu Tang asked Mrs. Ji who sent her out: "Does Heming Hall have many rooms?"
She looked at Heming Hall, which was a courtyard with five rooms and three entrances.
Mrs. Ji has become more and more familiar with her these days, and she speaks more casually.
"The Wujin courtyard next to it is also the place of Hemingtang." She whispered to Yu Tang, "Hemingtang used to be the place where the Pei family's widowed old An and old ladies lived. Naturally, there are many rooms. But over the years There are a lot of people in the Pei family who have good fortune and longevity, and there are few people like the old man who went so early, and there is no concubine or aunt, so the room is empty."
Yu Tang shivered.
Inexplicably, He Mingtang felt a little gloomy.
Mrs. Ji laughed straight when she saw it, and said, "You came to pay respects to the old lady last time. The Pei family is a big family, and they are very particular. If the members of the family are not good enough, they have a special yard. The Heming Hall is so gloomy." ?”
Yu Tang smiled embarrassedly.
Mrs. Ji said: "What's more, if you don't do anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. What's there to be afraid of!"
Isn't it because of her unbelievable experience that she firmly believes in some things
Yu Tang muttered in his heart, and got on the sedan chair to go home.
