In the previous life, Ku'an Temple was very poor, and everyone was struggling on the verge of food and clothing, so naturally there was no major conflict. But during the years in the Li family, Yu Tang has seen too many good intentions turn bad.
People don't suffer from shortages but from inequality.
After dinner, she went to visit the second wife.
The second wife happened to have a visitor, and Mrs. Jin welcomed her to the next room with a smile, and said to her, "It's the Yang family who is here, so please see our second wife. Ms. Yu, wait here for a while, wait for someone to come." Let me go and report to the second wife."
Yu Tang couldn't help feeling a little strange.
It's time to light the lamps, what is the urgent matter of the Yang family to send someone to Ku'an Temple to meet the second wife
She was also afraid that she would confuse the eldest wife's natal family with the second young lady's husband's family, and make a joke as if in front of Pei Yan, so she asked in a low voice, "Which Yang family is it?"
Aunt Jin is the companion of the second wife. After the second wife came to Pei's house, she went to work with the second wife's family. She didn't return to Lin'an until the old man passed away. She probably didn't know as much about Pei's family as Yu Tang. Hearing Yu Tang's tone, she thought that Yu Tang knew the Pei family very well, so she lost her vigilance to outsiders, and whispered without any precaution: "It's from the eldest wife's natal family. It seems that the Yang family is afraid of the eldest son." Delayed the competition, and introduced a teacher to the eldest son. Unexpectedly, the third master disagreed, and the people from the Yang family broke up with the third master, but there was no way. I wanted to find our second master, but our second master When I went to Wutai Mountain, I found the second wife here." At this point, she curled her lips in disdain, "Eight or nine out of ten, I want our second wife to help the eldest son talk. But they don't think about it, Pei What kind of family is the mansion? Could it be that if the eldest son of the Pei mansion wants to study, do they have to hire teachers from the Yang family? The second and third masters of our family are both Jinshi, so which teacher can compete with our second and third masters? What's more, even if the second and third masters of our family are both busy, if we don't have that time, wouldn't there be Mrs. Yi? No matter how bad it is, Mrs. Yong is also from Juren! The Yang family's business is too lenient If you want me to say, they were all used to by the Grand Master when he was alive!"
As for who is used to it, it is self-evident.
Logically, Yu Tang shouldn't have listened to this, but she was really curious about the grievances between the eldest wife and Pei Yan. At this moment, she even turned her head quickly, thinking whimsically that the eldest wife chose Gu Xi to be her daughter-in-law. Could it be that he wanted to fight Pei Yan in the ring
She could tell that Gu Xi was planning to play Pei Yan, so couldn't others see it
She didn't understand, there was no one for Gu Xi to marry, she insisted on coming to Pei's house to wade through this muddy water, and insisted on marrying in Lin'an City.
Yu Tang said softly: "Thank you, Aunt Jin, I'll wait here, if the second wife is free, just ask someone to call me."
Aunt Jin likes straightforward people like Yu Tang, she immediately smiled brightly, made a cup of tea for Yu Tang with her own hands, made tea for her with candied fruit, and then went to the second wife's side to serve her.
Yu Tang thought, with the second wife's shrewdness, the Yang family might return without success.
Drinking tea, she couldn't help stretching her neck and looking towards the hall of the second wife's main room.
Coincidentally, as soon as she looked over, the curtain of the second wife's main hall was swished open. Yu Tang saw a woman in her forties coming out with a face full of resentment. Aunt Jin didn't care. Following behind her, the voice sounded enthusiastic but perfunctory and said loudly: "It's late at night, you can step carefully. It's so late, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city, you'd better stay here for one night before leaving !"
The gold ornaments on the woman's head flickered under the light of the lantern, and it was obvious that she was a respectable servant girl from a wealthy family.
Yu Tang ran to the window lattice, only to hear the woman sneer, and said: "Don't dare to trouble you, we have already booked a room at the inn with the name card of our grand lord. However, I still have something to say I want you to tell your second wife that what our great aunt today is may be someone else's tomorrow." After speaking, he strode out with his head held high and his chest held high.
She saw Aunt Jin rolling her eyes at the woman's back, while still enthusiastically saying loudly: "Slow down, at least let me give you a ride." Then she chased after her slowly.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that this Aunt Jin usually has a low eyebrow and is pleasing to the eye, she is someone who can't be found at first glance among the maids and women, but unexpectedly she is quite interesting.
She hurried back and sat down again.
After a while, Aunt Jin came to take her to see the second wife, and on the way she whispered to her: "The second wife is in a bad mood, if there is anything negligent, don't take it to heart."
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "It's just a coincidence that I came here. But I'm a little anxious about this matter. If I don't come, I'm afraid that something will happen, so I have to bite the bullet and bother."
Aunt Jin smiled and said: "Miss Yu is a sensible person, she said that there is something urgent, and the matter must be very urgent."
In just a few words, they arrived at the main hall of the second wife.
A little maid came out and raised the curtain.
Yu Tang walked in and saw the second wife sitting alone on the grand teacher's chair in front of the square table.
The dim light shone on her face, making her look very serious.
Yu Tang went forward to salute.
The second wife looked pale, and invited her to sit down and talk.
Yu Tang expressed his worries: "I didn't pay attention when I went to the mansion to try out the incense that day. Today, after the host master said this, I realized that if this incense recipe is given to someone who cares, it can be made separately. The sandalwood-flavored Buddha incense came. This was originally a good thing, maybe we can still monopolize the sandalwood-flavored Buddha incense. But I also heard a story. Someone saw that the neighbor’s family was poor, so he kindly invited him to the shop I helped to sell food in my house, but the neighbor got the recipe of the owner’s family to make food, so he opened the same shop by himself, and used various methods to close the shop that originally sold food. I was thinking, Didn’t this incense recipe be given to Ku’an Temple for the time being? The incense recipe is entrusted to the big shopkeeper of the shop at home. They only need to help make all kinds of Buddhist incense. We don’t earn their money, we pay more wages Show them, can you see?"
Of course, the second wife has also heard the story of Mr. Dong Guo, but Buddhist incense and so on, to her, it is just money to buy needles, threads and brains, and she doesn't take it to heart at all. Although she felt that Yu Tang's words were reasonable, she didn't think it was a particularly serious matter. But she still likes Yu Tang very much. She thinks that she is serious, careful, and dare to take responsibility, which is worthy of praise, so she smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful. We will discuss it with Yilao'an tomorrow and then decide what to do." All right."
Hearing this, Yu Tang had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye: "Then I'll come over tomorrow and meet Mr. Yi with you."
The second wife asked Aunt Jin to take her out.
This is the second wife's courtesy to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang thanked with a smile, and was accompanied by Mrs. Jin out of the hall.
Aunt Jin already knew the outcome of the conversation, and she comforted Yu Tang: "Don't worry, Yilao'an must understand your worries."
Yu Tang was not worried at all.
Since Mrs. Yi married the eldest daughter-in-law, Mr. Yi no longer presided over the midwife of the third room, and devoted himself to taking care of Mrs. Yi who was in poor health. I'm afraid it was easier than the second wife thought.
I don't know what would Pei Lao'an think if he was here
Yu Tang secretly sighed, who would have thought that when he got up the next morning, he met Pei Yan on the way to greet Mrs. Yi and the second wife with the ladies of the Pei residence.
As usual, he wore a very ordinary plain-colored muslin robe with a navy blue border, and stood there tall and straight, like a pine tree facing the wind, with an outstanding demeanor.
Yu Tang's footsteps couldn't help but pause, his face was burning hot.
She looked left and right, and saw a big tree with a thick hug, and hid behind the tree with a whoosh.
The young ladies of the Pei family hurried forward and saluted Pei Yan respectfully.
Pei Yan's expression was still cold, but his voice was very gentle: "Are you going to greet the elders this early in the morning?" After speaking, she glanced at several Miss Pei.
The second lady is the head of the house, and she promises on behalf of several Miss Pei.
Pei Yan said in a warm voice: "Then you guys go quickly!"
The young ladies of Pei's family bowed to him again and walked past him in a file.
Only then did Shuangtao realize that her young lady had disappeared.
But on this occasion, she didn't want to yell around, thinking that she would look for Pei Yan after she left, maybe Yu Tang just went to the official room or was fascinated by some flower and plant, and stayed for a while.
But Pei Yan stood there and did not leave.
Yu Tang was very anxious.
I will greet Mrs. Yi and the second wife later, but she has disappeared. What is going on!
If she had known this, she should have had the cheek to rush over with a few Miss Pei.
Yu Tang bit his lip and looked around, trying to find another way to the yard of Elder Yi and his second wife.
However, Pei Yan walked slowly to the tree where she was hiding, and murmured: "I heard that it was Miss Gu's idea to agree to this marriage. I don't know if Gu Chang will agree? If Gu Chang does not agree, Pei, The Gu family only made a verbal agreement, and my mother and I strongly opposed it... I forgot to ask Pei Tong, if Pei Tong didn't want to..."
So is this marriage just over
Yu Tang continued Yu Yan's words in his heart, while the villain in his heart covered his mouth and laughed.
It's good to let it go, lest Gu Xi marry into the Pei family and ruin the good soup of the Pei family.
However, why did Gu Xi agree to this marriage? She and Pei Tong should have never met, right
But it's hard to say.
Maybe before she knew it, Gu Xi had already met Pei Tong
Yu Tang was a little curious about what Pei Tong looked like.
Could it be that being as handsome as Pei Yan made Gu Xi change his mind
Or, Pei Tong fell in love with Gu Xi at first sight
What about Pei Tong's cousin
Yu Tang's mind was in a mess, and his eyes seemed a little dull.
As a result, Pei Yan's surprised voice came from her ear: "Miss Yu, what are you doing standing behind this tree? Fortunately, I found you, otherwise, when the craftsmen who can build roads come over, don't you scare Miss Yu. "
It's over, it's over, Pei Yan found out.
How could she be so unlucky
Yu Tang ran away.
Pei Yan's anxious voice came from her ear again: "Wrong, wrong. Miss Yu, over there is the vegetable garden in the temple, and the latrine is over there. They water the ground every day. Be careful not to step on it." on the feet."
It's good that Yu Tang didn't stay in Ku'an Temple, she stayed in Ku'an Temple, so she naturally knew what Pei Yan meant by that.
She froze there for a moment.
"Miss Yu!" Pei Yan's smiling voice sounded in her ears again.
Yu Tang closed his eyes, feeling that he was really unlucky for his wife!
