Yu Tang wanted to find a chance to meet Pei Yan and ask him what he meant. However, before she could think of an excuse, the third and fifth misses of Pei's family sent someone to report that they would come to visit her tomorrow.
Chen Shi was overjoyed, and went to the street to buy food in person, but Yu Tang couldn't stop her.
When Miss San and Miss Wu came over, the cakes and snacks made by Mrs. Chen were all over the table, old duck soup was stewed on the stove, big elbows were steamed in the steamer, meatballs were fried in the oil pan... the aroma was overflowing, even better than during the Chinese New Year. Be lively and rich.
Yu Tang shook his head with a helpless smile, and after the third and fifth misses had seen Mrs. Chen, he dragged them to his wing to drink tea.
The tea is the rock tea that Mrs. Chen bought at the market yesterday, and it is delicious when paired with the tuckahoe made by Mrs. Chen.
Third Miss and Fifth Miss praised each other, and asked about the food Yu Tang gave them when they went to Ku'an Temple that day: "At that time, it was also said that Auntie made it, Auntie's hands are really clever!"
Yu Tang pushed the Jiuzanmei box in front of them, and said with a smile, "Then when you go back, I'll ask Shuangtao to pack some for you."
The two were not polite, and thanked each other with a smile.
Yu Tang wentssiping with them for a while, and only then did Yu Tang know that the marriage between Gu Xi and Pei Tong had twists and turns, and something happened again in the past few days.
"I don't know what my aunt thinks?" Fifth Miss said in a low voice, "I have to send my eldest cousin to study in Gu's family. For this matter, I not only found my mother, but also found Mr. Yi Laoan and Mr. Yong. Old An, fortunately, neither of the two old An agreed to be the middleman and help her to talk to the third uncle, otherwise it would be a joke."
The third lady was thoughtful, and said: "But the Yang family also said the same thing. It seems that the elder cousin can't read at our house. I see, the eldest aunt doesn't seem to be in a hurry to find the Yue family for the elder cousin, but It seems that I am in a hurry to find a master who studies for my eldest cousin."
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
In the previous life, Pei Tong seemed to be studying at the Yang family.
Can't I go in this life
Or there were many such twists and turns in the previous life, but she was not in it and didn't know it
Could this be the reason why the eldest wife chose Gu Xi as her daughter-in-law
Yu Tang thought about it, but Fifth Miss had already changed the subject, and said, "Anyway, I don't know what my aunt is going to do. My mother also said, let me avoid the matter of meeting my aunt, and wait for my grandfather to serve me. , my father should be an official. When the third uncle marries aunt, my mother will take me and my brother to follow my father to take up the post." Speaking of this, she was a little reluctant, and said, "But I I don't want to go to work with my father, but I also don't want to be separated from my mother and my younger brother."
Miss San seemed to be hearing about this for the first time, she said in surprise: "Then you, don't you have to leave Lin'an soon?"
"I don't know either." Fifth Miss hesitated, and then said "Oops" to Third Miss, "Let's not forget about the business!" After speaking, she gave Third Miss a wink.
The third lady immediately sat upright, coughed twice, and said solemnly, "Sister Yu, we came to you for the matter of Ku'an Temple."
Yu Tang was very surprised, and joked with them: "I thought you were on vacation, missed me, and came to play with me!"
Fifth Miss smiled shyly, and said, "We wanted to come and play with you, but the homework is a bit tight, and there are no long holidays these days, so we had to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival to visit my sister."
Third Miss also nodded beside her and said, "It's true, Sister Yu. If you don't believe me, you can ask Second Sister and Fourth Sister when you meet them."
"I know. I was joking with you." Yu Tang laughed haha, and said, "You came to me for the matter of Ku'an Temple. Did something happen to Ku'an Temple?"
Fifth Miss and Third Miss exchanged glances, and Fifth Miss said: "We came back from Ku'an Temple, and we reported the matter of Ku'an Temple to grandma. But grandma said that we sisters can make up our own minds about this matter. No matter whether it is my mother or uncle, they will never interfere in the affairs of Ku'an Temple. Whether all the incense prescriptions will be given to the people of Ku'an Temple or only a part of them, and whether to offer incense on the Buddha Bathing Festival is up to us to decide." As she said, all the sorrow appeared on her face, "Sister Yu, we have never dealt with such a thing before, and I don't know what to do. I want to ask Sister Yu to join us..." After finishing speaking, she opened her eyes wide, pleading Looking at Yu Tang intently.
Yu Tang's heart turned into a ball of water when she saw her, and she really wanted to agree to them immediately, but as they said, this matter is of great importance, and she has never dealt with it before. What about the temple
She couldn't help asking cautiously: "Then what do you mean?"
Seeing that Miss Fifth's words failed to get Yu Tang to agree immediately, Third Miss hurriedly said, "Sister Yu, Fifth Younger Sister and I both think what you said makes sense. The formula of Buddha incense may be nothing to us, but to some people But it is the secret recipe for making a fortune. A man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Originally, although Kuan Temple was poor, it was safe and peaceful. If it caused any trouble to Kuan Temple because of us, it would not be our fault! Both Younger Sister and Fifth Sister felt that they couldn’t make a decision so casually.”
Yu Tang smiled, feeling that he was very lucky to have met the young ladies of the Pei family. She said: "Then what are the plans of Miss San and Miss Fifth?"
Third Miss and Fifth Miss both laughed when they heard this.
Fifth Miss said: "We think that the incense meeting in Zhaoming Temple is a good opportunity. No matter what, we must seize this opportunity to make the Buddha incense in Ku'an Temple famous. In any case, we must find a way to make the third uncle say it. incense sticks or incense coils. As for the incense recipe, it should be given to Ku’an Temple according to Sister Yu’s intention, and the other part should be controlled by us. But whether it is the former or the latter, we don’t know how to do it. it is good?"
The third lady said: "In the past few days, we have sent people from the Ku'an Temple to tell us that the masters in the Ku'an Temple can't make the kind of incense sticks and coils that Uncle San said, so we have to hire a master incense maker to do it again." You have to teach them. We have discussed the matter of Xiangfang with the second and fourth sisters for a long time, and we don't know who to leave it to."
Fifth Miss said: "Sister Yu, otherwise, you should be in charge of this fragrance."
The third lady continued: "We all know that this matter is very troublesome, but apart from sister Yu, we can't think of anyone else to trust - the second sister will leave the cabinet next year at the latest, and I, I also want to discuss marriage here The fourth and fifth younger sisters are still young... "
The two talked, stood up, and bowed to Yu Tang: "Sister Yu, please help us."
Yu Tang hurriedly pulled the two of them up, and said: "If you have something to say, talk about it. If you are like this, don't you make me have to agree?"
"No, no." Third Miss and Fifth Miss showed panic, their brows were sweating in anxiety, "We, we haven't thought of a better way for a long time..."
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Okay, okay. You don't have to be so polite with me. Since I promised you, I will definitely find a way. Besides, I brought up the matter of Ku'an Temple, so what should I do?" Can you stand by and watch?"
Third Miss and Fifth Miss stood up respectfully with their hands down.
Yu Tang looked at it and smiled, and said, "Don't be like this, just sit down and talk."
Only then did the two sit on the grand master's chair.
Yu Tang shook his head secretly with a smile, but he didn't try to be more polite to them, but directly talked about the Ku'an Temple: "You talk about it, it's two things. Who has the better hand? The second is that Ku’an Temple can’t make the incense sticks and coils requested by the third master for the time being, right?”
The two kept nodding.
Yu Tang's mind was spinning rapidly. She said: "The first thing I recommend to you is Xiao Tong, the treasurer of the Pei family's Lin'an pawnshop. His family has been a servant of the Pei family for generations, and he is loyal. There is also the old shopkeeper Tong at the pawnshop, let him Taking care of the affairs of Kuan Temple for the time being, I think he should be free."
The two thought for a while, and both smiled happily.
Fifth Miss even let out a long breath, and said, "I just said, I have to come to Sister Yu to make up my mind on this matter."
Miss San giggled, and it was obvious that she was relaxed.
Yu Tang continued: "For the offering of incense to Zhaoming Temple on the Buddha's Bathing Festival, I also asked Shopkeeper Xiao Tong. Let him find a way to find a master who makes incense, and make incense according to the third master's wishes for the time being. That's all. It's not so easy to recruit talented people, and nine out of ten you have to borrow the reputation of the Pei Mansion to find a way to keep people in the Pei Mansion. You have to tell the third master about this matter in advance."
The expressions of the two became lighter.
Fifth Miss said quickly, "Third Uncle is helping Ku'an Temple to build roads, so he lives in another courtyard. Let's go to Third Uncle right away, he will definitely agree."
It's really dozing off to someone delivering a pillow.
Yu Tang smiled and said, "It's good to catch up with the situation. Tomorrow we will go to the other courtyard and ask the third master."
Fifth Miss said blankly: "Should we go in person? Can we ask the stewards to tell us?"
Of course.
But every time Pei Yan babbled in front of her, she also had to babble in front of him once.
"Master Xiaotong needs the consent of the third master." Yu Tang said, "The other courtyard is outside the city, so we don't have to all run over there, I'll just go. If there is any news, I will contact you as soon as possible. Say it."
"Is this appropriate?" Third Miss said a little uneasy, "Originally it was our business, but it was all pushed on you."
"What's inappropriate?" Yu Tang smiled, "Aren't you still going to class? I happen to have nothing to do these days, and when I get busy, I will make you run errands! This is what you said, let Together with you, I helped the masters of Ku'an Temple make incense."
The two smiled shyly.
Yu Tang made a final decision: "This matter is decided like this."
She is in a good mood.
You can fool Pei Yan right away.
After sending off the third and fifth misses, Yu Tang began to prepare the clothes for meeting Pei Yan tomorrow. Early the next morning, she went out to Pei's other courtyard.
It was almost noon when we arrived at the other courtyard.
Pei Yan was lying on the leisure chair under the camphor tree in the yard reading a book. When he saw Yu Tang coming in, he called Ah Ming to help Yu Tang bring a rose chair, and pointed to the teapot on the coffee table. : "Sangju drink, do you want to drink?"
Clearing heat and detoxifying, it is the drink of spring.
"Thank you, Third Master." Yu Tang sat down with a smile.
