Ever since Pei Yan took a large sum of money to Jiang Chao to revive his family business, Mr. Wu praised Pei Yan to the sky in private, and even Mrs. Wu looked at Pei Yan differently. Chen, who was grateful, also felt that Miss Gu was not worthy of Pei Yan.
Mrs. Wu even said to Mrs. Chen: "Didn't your family's A-Tang often go to greet the old Ann in Pei's mansion? Did Mrs. Shen come to match Miss Gu? You asked your family's A-Tang to stay longer when she went to Pei's mansion." Be careful! Mrs. Shen and Miss Gu are still living in Pei's residence!"
Chen didn't want Yu Tang to get involved in this matter, so she quickly refused politely: "She's a young girl who hasn't left the court, what does she know! It would be unbeautiful if she offended Lao An."
Although Mrs. Wu just said that, she still said unfairly when she heard Mrs. Chen's answer: "If the third master of the Pei family marries Miss Gu, I will definitely take a detour when I meet Miss Gu in the future."
Who said no!
Chen shi heaved a long sigh in her heart.
Originally, she had no idea about who Pei Yan would marry, but after hearing Mrs. Wu's words, she felt a little uncomfortable thinking that Pei Yan might become the son-in-law of the Gu family. After sending Mrs. Wu away, Yu Tang brought her new clothes for ancestor worship in a few days. She couldn't help talking about this matter with Yu Tang, and asked Yu Tang: "Did you meet Shen Shen?" What did Mrs. Shen say to Old An that day? Did Miss Gu act special in front of Old An? "
Yu Tang felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard the words, and he didn't recover for a long while.
Pei Yan and Gu Xi... Who spread this rumor? ! They are too good at talking! Are Pei Yan and Gu Xi separated by generations? !
No, she thought left.
Pei Yan was about the same age as Gu Chang, and had been an official in the same dynasty.
If it weren't for the inherent impression of her previous life, she always felt that she and Gu Xi were the same, and she wouldn't think that Gu Xi and Pei Yan were of a different generation.
In this way, it is really possible that Gu Xi will marry Pei Yan!
But Gu Xi married Pei Yan... Yu Tang couldn't think of what kind of picture it was.
But what if Gu Xi really married Pei Yan
Yu Tang suddenly felt like he had swallowed a fly.
Not just disgusting, but unacceptable.
Pei Yan and Gu Xi...how can it be done!
Is Gu Xi worthy of Pei Yan
Why should she marry Pei Yan? !
Yu Tang stood up abruptly, circling around the room like a trapped animal.
No, she can't let Gu Xi marry Pei Yan!
Gu Xi is a hypocrite, a fake generosity, and a person of low character!
Pei Yan shouldn't marry Gu Xi when he marries anyone!
She has to tell Pei Yan.
Thinking this way in Yu Tang's heart, his feet moved as he wanted, and he walked towards the door.
"What are you doing?" She was about to walk to the door, but was grabbed by Mrs. Chen.
Chen's face was full of helplessness, and said: "I'm telling you about Mr. Pei San, why do you turn around and leave, and you don't know what you are talking about..."
Isn't this child a demon
Chen nervously looked her daughter up and down.
Yu Tang came back to his senses due to the pain of his arms being tightly bound.
She... what happened to her? How could you rush to warn Pei Yan
Leaving aside the fact that the matter of Pei Yan and Gu Xi was just heard by her mother, even if the Pei family really wanted to discuss marriage with the Gu family, what did it have to do with her
Besides, the grievance between her and Gu Xi is a matter between them, Pei Yan is resourceful, Lao An is shrewd and capable, which one is not better than her? Why did she feel that Gu Xi and Pei Yan were inappropriate
Whether Gu Xi and Pei Yan are suitable or not should be judged by the Pei family, instead of self-righteously making decisions on behalf of the Pei family because of her disagreement with Gu Xi, thinking that Gu Xi and Pei Yan are inappropriate, right
Yu Tang took a deep breath, suppressed those chaotic emotions in his heart, and said to his mother: "I heard that the Gu family intends to marry the Pei family. I was so surprised, I lost my composure for a while..."
Chen didn't think too much, and sighed: "Don't say it's you, even I was shocked when I heard it at first. But after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense for the Gu family to want to marry the Pei family—looking at the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, How many unengaged men can be compared to the third master of the Pei family? If I were Miss Gu's mother, I would also make such an idea. I just thought that someone said it before, and the old master Pei once said it when he was alive , the marriage of the third master Pei must be a girl from a family of senior officials above the third rank. Now that the old master Pei is gone, the marriage of the third master Pei will be delayed)..."
Taking care of the family is simply not up to Mrs. Pei's standard.
No wonder she felt bad.
Chen Shi and Yu Tang thought at the same time, they both found a reason to explain their discomfort, and they both calmed down.
Yu Tang also carefully recalled the scene when she saw Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi that day: "If you don't tell me, I really didn't think about it. The old An clearly doesn't want to see Mrs. Shen, and Miss Gu is here Lao An was too lively in front of her, and it felt like she was doing this on purpose, as if she wanted to please Lao An. Now it seems that they insisted on living in Pei's house, and they really came here for a purpose."
In fact, Gu Xi behaved quite normal in front of the old Ann, but Yu Tang lived with Gu Xi in his previous life, and Gu Xi married into the Li family and was married again, so he put on a bit of airs from the beginning to the end . This life is different from the previous life, Yu Tang can feel it immediately.
Mrs. Chen was stunned: "If this thing happens, it can be seen that the old saying, "The brave are starved to death, the timid to death" is really true. Then I am also bold enough to ask Mr. Shen to help you in the Shen family's children. It’s good to choose a son-in-law with good character. Anyway, if you don’t try some things, you will never know if it will work.”
Did Gu Xi open Chen's horizon
Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled, but for some reason, there was always a faint sadness in her heart, which made her puzzled.
On the first day of October, the ancestors are sacrificed, and every household will start preparing for the New Year.
Hu Xing suddenly accompanied Mrs. Ji to Yu's house to visit Mrs. Chen, saying that Mrs. Pei was going to live in another courtyard on North Tianmu Mountain for a few days, and wanted to invite Yu Tang to stay with Mrs. Mrs. Chen for a few days, and asked Chen Mrs. disagree.
Mrs. Chen didn't really want Yu Tang to live in another courtyard. It can be seen that Mrs. Ji came to invite her in person, and she said a lot, "The old man likes Miss Yu very much, and the second wife and fifth lady will also stay in the other courtyard together. You will be back in ten days and half a month, so you should treat it as a visit to Ms. Yu." It made it difficult for Mrs. Chen to refuse, so she asked Yu Tang privately what she meant.
Although there is a brazier burning in the house, it is still very cold away from the brazier.
Yu Tang thought about the ground cage in the old Ann's house, and wanted to go there.
Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tapped Yu Tang's forehead: "Being greedy for petty gains is a big loss. Don't come back and cry when you get angry and ask me to make you chrysanthemum tea."
Yu Tang chuckled, but wondered if Gu Xi and Mrs. Shen had returned to Hangzhou City? Is it true that Lao An really misses her when I go to the other courtyard of Pei Mansion this time? If Gu Xi and Mrs. Shen hadn't left, how would she treat them when she met them
While thinking wildly, she instructed Shuangtao to tidy up her clothes. On the day she made an appointment with the Pei family, she took Shuangtao with her and was accompanied by Mrs. Ji.
The other courtyard of Pei Mansion was built on the mountainside of North Tianmu Mountain, only half a day away from Lin'an City.
Along the way, there are lush and towering trees, quiet and winding bluestone corridors, if it is not for the biting cold wind blowing in when you open the car curtain and look out, people will misunderstand that it is midsummer. And the other courtyard of Pei Mansion is located in the cover of luxuriant trees, with white walls, gray tiles, and black Ruyi door, with only one door exposed, which can only be used for a sedan chair to enter and exit. But after entering, bypassing an inverted "Fu" screen wall made of gray bricks, there is something strange inside.
The green rockery, the majestic open hall, the deep winding path, the exquisite gazebo... It turned out to be a mansion that is not inferior to Pei's mansion.
While leading the way, Mrs. Ji turned her head and talked to Yu Tang from time to time: "The Pei family lived here at first, but later it was inconvenient to go up and down the mountain, so the current Pei Mansion was built in Xiaomei Lane. The Pei Mansion over there is in the city. It is more convenient for the masters to do business and the young masters to study there. Gradually, people only come to live here when there are people cleaning up. And because it is an ancestral property, this house belongs to the family Since the house is owned, there are even fewer people coming to live here. But when the old man was still here, he liked to live here, and even brought the old man with him. When the old man went there, the old man wanted to move They came to live here, but the third master is not yet married, and the housework of each house in the clan will have to be adjusted by the old An. It is not convenient for the old An to live in, so it has been delayed until now. "
Yu Tang looked at the painted columns and whitewashed walls of the houses here, they didn't look decayed in the slightest, and estimated that they would spend a lot of money on repairs every year, so he couldn't help but said: "Then if the old An really moved here, wouldn't you also follow him?" come over."
Mrs. Ji nodded and said with a smile: "So after the old lady left, those who were young or uneasy were released, and the ones that Lao An stays by her side to serve are mostly servants like me. Pearl, Amber and the others grew up beside Old An."
The two of them were talking, and they soon arrived at the main room of Dongkua courtyard where Lao An was resting.
Yu Tang first went to the East Wing in the backyard where she lived, and placed the things he had brought over.
A burst of hot air hits the face when entering the door.
Even her guest room was burnt earth dragon.
Yu Tang was very surprised, but the joints in her whole body seemed to come alive, which made her feel very comfortable, so comfortable that she wanted to throw herself directly on the bed.
She washed and changed her clothes again, and then followed Mrs. Ji to greet the old An.
The old man looked a little tired, seven or eight maids were serving beside her, and she was teasing an oriole with a straw.
Yu Tang hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Old An put down the straw in his hand, and his little maid stepped forward to lift the birdcage to another place, and took a handkerchief to wipe Old An's hands.
"You're here." Old An's expression was kind, and he wiped his hands and asked Yu Tang to sit down on the embroidered pier next to him, and said, "Is your mother okay? She must be reluctant to call you over. I'm here first. Make amends to her."
"You are serious." Yu Tang stood up again, and said respectfully, "Mother is a little bit reluctant to part with me. It's not that she doesn't want me to accompany you, but because she feels that the weather is cold and charcoal is needed everywhere, so I'm afraid I'll trouble you."
