Mr. Pei Lao'an wanted to meet guests, so it would not be appropriate for Mrs. Chen and others to stay here, so everyone stood up and said goodbye.
The old man thought for a while, and said: "This is the first time I've seen the Huzhou Wu family, so it's better for you to go to the flower hall first."
The main reason is that they are afraid that the meeting gifts brought by the members of the Wu family will not be enough, which will cause inconvenience to the female family members of the Wu family.
Everyone knew it well, and smiled in twos and threes and went to the flower hall behind the hall, leaving only the second wife of the Pei family to help the old An to entertain the guests.
The third, fourth and fifth misses of the Pei family hadn't seen Yu Tang since noon yesterday, so they were very happy to see each other at this moment, and pulled Yu Tang to chirp: "The incense made by Ku'an Temple has been sent to Zhaoming Temple , we went to see it last night. It will definitely become famous by then."
Because the things came with the chariots and horses of the female family members of the Pei family, and the Buddhist incense that was going to be presented to Zhaoming Temple was in the hands of the steward sent by the Pei family, Yu Tang didn't bother to ask, I didn't expect these little girls to run away last night Looked over.
She nodded with a smile.
The Second Miss of the Pei family was not very close to Yu Tang. She and Miss Xu walked behind, looking like they wanted to strike up a conversation with Miss Xu but didn't know what to say, which made Miss Xu secretly roll her eyes. But for Mr. Yang's sake, she took the initiative to talk to the second lady: "Did you sleep well last night? I think there was a sandalwood fragrance in the wing room, which made me sleepless most of the night. In the end, it was really too much." Tired, I just fell asleep in a daze." After speaking, he pointed to Miss Pei's family and Yu Tang who were walking in front of them: "I just heard what they said about Buddha incense, is there someone in your family who is good at making this? Do you have any other scents? Can you give me some? I have sent people to buy incense, but Lin'an is so small, so I don't know if I can buy good incense."
Second Miss Pei knew what kind of family the Xu family was, so naturally she didn't want to offend Miss Xu. What's more, Miss Xu is going to marry into the Yin family, and she is marrying the only son of Yin's family, a nineteen-year-old Jinshi... She hurriedly said: "The one who is good at making incense is the fiancée of the eldest cousin of the house, you should also know her." , the eldest daughter of the second room of the Gu family in Hangzhou." She whispered, and also told Miss Xu about their helping Ku'an Temple to make Buddhist incense.
Ms. Xu's eyes rolled when she heard that, and after the second lady finished speaking, she said "oh", and said, "I don't know this Miss Gu. But I know Gu Chaoyang from the Gu family. What is his relationship with this Miss Gu?" ?”
Miss Pei Er smiled and said, "She is Gu Chaoyang's younger sister."
Miss Xu said "oh" again, and said, "If I remember correctly, the head wife of their family is filling in the house? I just don't know which girl it is?"
She has no impression, it must not be from a family background, and she has heard people say that the head wife of the second room of the Gu family has very little vision, her husband can't study well, and even suppressed a few concubines' younger brothers, and now the second room has no talents. If it weren't for Gu Chang, I'm afraid he would have long been out of the Jiangnan family.
Second Miss Pei was very curious about how she knew Gu Chang.
Miss Xu said: "He and Yin Mingyuan are in the same department."
Yin Mingyuan? !
Miss Xu's fiancé.
Second Miss Pei looked at Miss Xu.
Miss Xu nodded without any shyness, and said generously: "I heard that Gu Chaoyang is very talented, and his appearance is better than Pan An. When Yin Mingyuan went to participate in the poetry meeting, he took me to have a look. It feels good. , not as good-looking as Yin Mingyuan, but stronger than Yin Mingyuan."
Second Miss Pei has seen crazy people, but she has never seen anyone who is more crazy than Miss Xu. Hearing this, she didn't know how to answer for a while.
The fourth lady who was walking in front suddenly turned her head, said "wow", and said, "Sister Xu is so amazing, she dared to participate in the poetry meeting of the scholars."
Miss Xu waved her hand disapprovingly, and said, "Yin Mingyuan has been studying at our house since he was a child, so I asked him to take me to participate in a poetry meeting, what a big deal!"
Getting her fiancé to agree to bring her a woman to the poetry meeting is already amazing!
The young ladies of the Pei family all looked at her with admiration.
But Yu Tang's attention was on the word "Yin". She looked at the young ladies of the Pei family, thought for a while, pulled the third lady, and said in a low voice, "What is the origin of the Xu family? That Yin Mingyuan is Who?"
The third lady quickly glanced at Miss Xu, seeing that she was concentrating on talking to the other ladies, she hurriedly said in a low voice: "Miss Xu's great-grandfather was the Prince's Taibao and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and her great-grandfather and great-uncle were both. After passing the first assistant, his father is now the head of the Xu family, serving as a scholar of the Wuying Temple and Minister of the Ministry of War; an uncle is serving as the chief envoy of Shaanxi, and an uncle was previously the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Envoy. Yin Mingyuan is her fiancé, a concubine, who is watching politics in the Ministry of Punishment."
It took Yu Tang a while to figure it out.
In other words, the old lady of the Li family and Mrs. Yang San are both girls from Miss Xu's future husband's family.
No wonder she was so respectful to Mrs. Yang San.
Seeing that Miss Xu was still talking to her sisters, Miss Pei San quickly said: "She is an old woman. Although Yin Mingyuan is good at reading, he is not in good health. The marriage between Xu and Yin is determined by the older generation." It came down. I heard that Mrs. Xu was very dissatisfied, and she said that she had told Miss Xu's fortune, and that Miss Xu should not marry early, so she should be kept until she is twenty. The two are not married yet."
Is this because he is afraid that Yin Mingyuan will die early
The Xu family is really tough!
The little person in Yu Tang's heart wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a quick look behind him, and continued to gossip with Miss San: "Then the Yin family won't say anything?"
Miss Pei San pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Yin Mingyuan likes Miss Xu, and he won't marry unless she is her."
"Ah!" Yu Tang exclaimed, suppressing his voice subconsciously, and involuntarily glanced behind him again.
This time she didn't have the good luck she had before, and met Miss Xu's eyes.
Yu Tang smiled guiltyly at Miss Xu.
Ms. Xu rolled her eyes, left behind a few Miss Pei, walked over quickly, took Yu Tang's arm, and said with a smile: "Did my sister ask others about me? I don't like the sandalwood fragrance in the temple. Let me have some incense with different flavors!"
Yu Tang smiled at her embarrassedly, and said: "I don't like incense, I like fragrance dew. How about I give you half a bottle of fragrance dew first? This time I go out, I only bring one bottle."
This scented dew was a gift given to her by Yu Wen and Master Wu when they went to Ningbo last time.
It is said to be rose scent, which is quite nice.
But the fragrance must be sealed well, otherwise it will lose its fragrance soon.
Fortunately, they only lived in the temple for three or five days, otherwise, even if she gave her half a bottle of incense, there probably would not be a bottle.
Miss Xu smiled and said, "Oh, I finally met someone who likes Xianglu as much as I do. I'll go get it from you after lunch."
Yu Tang felt that her expression didn't look like she was going to get the fragrance, but rather like she was going to explore the secret...
However, since he agreed, even if Miss Xu was going to her place to explore the secrets, Yu Tang could only bite the bullet and receive her.
Everyone quickly sat down in the flower hall.
The young ladies of Pei's family went to their respective grandmothers to do their filial piety.
Fifth Miss followed Yu Tang.
Mrs. Yang San sat next to Mr. Yi, talking about the old days with Mr. Yi. Hearing the tone, the elders in the family seemed to have been colleagues with Mr. Yi.
Miss Xu looked left and right, and stood together with Fifth Miss and Yu Tang.
She asked Miss Fifth: "When does your family have lunch?"
Fifth Miss shook her head and said, "I don't know either."
Ms. Xu looked helpless, and asked again: "What time does your family usually have lunch?"
Fifth Miss said: "It's a quarter of an hour before noon."
Ms. Xu nodded in satisfaction, took out a gold pocket watch from her pocket, opened it with a "snap", looked at it, and said with a feeling of unrequited love: "It's still an hour away."
The eyes of Yu Tang and Fifth Miss were glued to Miss Xu's pocket watch, and Fifth Miss even said, "Is this a pocket watch? It's really beautiful."
Miss Xu nodded slightly, stretched out her hand and said, "Do you want to take a look?"
Fifth Miss quickly shook her head and said, "My father also has one. It's just that I've never seen such a small one."
Yu Tang saw Li Duan used it in his previous life, and like Miss Fifth, he had never seen such a small one.
Ms. Xu said nonchalantly: "I found someone to order it specially, and it went pretty well."
Fifth Miss said, "Are you hungry? How about I ask Ah Shan to bring you some snacks?"
"No need." Ms. Xu sighed, looking very bored, and said listlessly, "I'm not hungry, I just want to know when we can leave. I want to go to Sister Yu's to see what fragrance she brought come over."
You might as well say you're impatient with parties like this!
Both Yu Tang and Fifth Miss gave her a supercilious look.
She giggled and asked Fifth Miss: "Is your eldest cousin here? Do you know where he lives?"
Fifth Miss said: "Not only my eldest cousin is here, but my second cousin and my younger brother are also here. Of course they live in the outer courtyard! But I didn't ask where they live. What are you going to do? Do you want me to find someone in charge?" Ask."
Ms. Xu whispered to them, "The Yang family boasted about your eldest cousin, saying that he is more talented than your third uncle. I want to see what he looks like."
Fifth Miss was taken aback, and murmured: "More talented than my third uncle?"
Why does this sound so awkward
Yu Tang thought about those things in his previous life, and felt that the Yang family was trying to build momentum for Pei Tong.
In her previous life, she didn't know who Pei Tong married, but he was married in the capital. There have been great changes in this life, and I don't know if Pei Tong will still follow the old path of his previous life.
Seeing this, Miss Xu asked Miss Fifth again: "Then do you know when your third uncle comes to say hello to Mr. Pei every day?"
Fifth Miss was puzzled and said, "Why are you asking about this?"
Miss Xu said nonchalantly, "I'll just ask."
Yu Tang glanced at Miss Xu.
Miss Xu chuckled, and said to Yu Tang and Fifth Miss: "I saw a pomegranate tree outside when I came here just now, why don't we go pick pomegranates?"
Fifth Miss and Yu Tang looked at the house full of female relatives and shook their heads together.
Miss Xu decided to go by herself.
Yu Tang felt that the current Zhaoming Temple is very complicated, so he held Miss Xu back and said, "When Master Wuqiang prays for us, should we also write our names and birth dates as usual? What if someone flips them?"
The horoscope of birthday is related to the future and fortune, and it is not easy to tell others, especially girls.
Miss Xu's attention was diverted, and she hurriedly said: "We used to write when we were in Hongluo Temple, but it had to be packed in a bright red envelope, sealed with a special method, and put in a sealed box. Don't worry, no one will know."
"That's good!" Yu Tang seemed relieved, and continued to ask Ms. Xu about the blessing meeting.
Ms. Xu talked about her experience incessantly, and didn't mention the matter of going out.
