The female family members of the Wu family did not stay with Pei Lao'an for a long time, but Mrs. Chen was taken by Mrs. Yang San, who recognized all the female family members of the Pei family. After returning from lunch with Pei Lao'an, Ms. Xu followed Yu Tang to the room where Mrs. Chen and Yu Tang were resting. Yu Tang gave her half a bottle of fragrant dew. Ms. Xu was very happy and said: "This It smells good." He added, "Sister Yu, don't worry, I'll return a bottle to you in a few days."
Although Yu Tang liked this scented dew very much, but she found out that it was also sold in Hangzhou City, and it wasn't something you can't ask for, so she smiled and said, "No need, just take it and use it if you like it."
Ms. Xu was not too polite, and said: "Then I will thank you first." After she finished speaking, she got up and said goodbye: "Sister, take a nap first, I will come to play with you later." Then she pointed to the place where they lived. Next to the wing room, "Mrs. Yang San and I live next door."
Yu Tang agreed, and sent Miss Xu out with a smile, but when she turned around, she was called to the east by Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen was sitting in front of the big desk by the window writing, when she saw Yu Tang coming in, she hurriedly waved to her: "Come and help me take a look."
Yu Tang walked forward quickly with a smile, and found that her mother was writing the names and appearances of the Pei family members whom she met today.
"You are?" She was a little puzzled.
Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "After all, we are from Lin'an. We couldn't get in touch with Pei's family before. Now we often walk around in Pei's house. How can the wives and grandmas in Pei's house meet each other? You also know that our family has a simple population. I have followed your father for so many years, and your father has protected me in everything, and I have experienced few things, so I am afraid that I will forget it and offend others when we meet again. If you have an impression, writing down all the people you meet today will benefit you in the future—do not remember people’s names wrongly, and it is also a kind of respect for others.”
Yu Tang felt that her mother was right.
She took a chair and sat down next to her mother. Together with her mother, she recalled the people she met today, recorded what they looked like, and commented in a low voice from time to time, gossip about Pei's mansion .
Just like playing games with his mother when he was a child, not only did Yu Tang not feel tired, but he was also full of interest and found it very interesting. If Miss Xu hadn't come to play with her, she would not have realized that an hour had passed.
They forgot to take a nap.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, but they were very happy in their hearts.
Yu Tang embraced his mother's arm, thinking that when Ms. Xu was studying the family tree, she would be as happy as her and her mother, so Ms. Xu would know all about the relationship of those aristocratic families!
She suddenly became kind to Miss Xu.
When Ms. Xu triumphantly took out a bottle of perfume that was exactly the same as hers, she praised her with a smile like coaxing her own little sister: "You are amazing! You found a bottle of perfume that is exactly the same as mine so quickly." ,how did you do it."
Miss Xu was very happy to hear her say that, her voice raised a little unconsciously, she raised her eyebrows at Yu Tang, and said, "Do you know what the Wu family does? They run water transport. Every year It takes a lot of energy to deal with the dignitaries in Beijing. What can the dignitaries in Beijing lack? At most, they are a little rare on things from the sea. Your fragrance looks like something from the sea. I sent someone to ask for it from their house. Their family immediately gave me seven or eight types of fragrance for me to choose." As she spoke, she winked at Yu Tang like offering a treasure, "If the Wu family doesn't have one, I can ask the Song family. Their Song family The most important thing is ostentation, this kind of rare thing, the female relatives of their family will definitely show it off." Finally, she said sincerely: "When my sister goes to play with me later, I will also pick a few bottles of other scented dew. "
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "You're really smart!"
"Of course." Miss Xu accepted it with peace of mind.
Yu Tang thanked her and accepted the fragrance she brought over.
Miss Xu liked her even more.
I feel that she is not shy, although her background is ordinary, but she is generous, and she is truly neither humble nor overbearing.
She couldn't help continuing to chat with Yu Tang: "People from the Wu family are also famously beautiful. Otherwise, the girl from their family would not be able to marry into the Jiang family and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. My aunt said, then It is because the Wu family used to be water bandits, and the wives they married were all beauties from various places, so their family members are all fair and beautiful. However, the Jiang family also gave the Wu family a bad head. I can inquire It's clear, this time only two young masters from the Wu family came, but many young ladies came, ranging from eighteen to fourteen years old, and each one was prettier than the other. Including the one who was said to be no better than their family who married into the Jiang family The tenth miss of the Wu family who is not a young lady. I think the Wu family must want to marry their girl to Master Pei San."
Yu Tang was startled, and hurriedly said: "Keep your voice down! Be careful that the walls have ears, and you will ruin other people's reputation."
But he didn't question her guess.
Miss Xu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, her eyes sparkling and she wanted to rub Yu Tang's head: "You are really interesting!"
Yu Tang tilted his head, avoiding her hand, and said angrily, "I don't want to comb my hair again, don't touch my hair."
Miss Xu laughed again, and promised: "Don't worry, I brought a woman who can comb her hair, and a maid who can comb her hair. I can send someone to help you when the time comes."
Yu Tang secretly clicked his tongue.
Like their family, it would be nice to have a servant woman who can also comb her hair. Even when Gu Xi married into the Li family in the previous life, she was just married to a woman who could comb her hair. This woman also helped Gu Xi tidy up. Clothes, running errands for Gu Xi's wet nurse. The ladies of the Pei family are all alone with a maid who can comb their hair.
It can be seen that the Xu family is really rich.
Miss Xu asked Yu Tang again: "Are you really unable to visit Mr. Pei San? I wonder what he looks like? Tell me, if something happens to us, will he come over to see in person. After all, there are so many female relatives living here..."
Yu Tang was flustered and stopped her and said, "What are you going to do? If something happens to the female relatives living here because of you, do you think you can sleep peacefully in the future? Besides, haste makes waste. , why do you have to force it? Don’t we have to stay in the temple for four days? How do you know that there will be no chance to see the third master of the Pei family in the future?”
"What you said makes sense." Ms. Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "I was indeed too anxious."
Seeing this, Yu Tang's heart moved, and he said, "Why are you so anxious to see the third master of the Pei family?"
Miss Xu blushed, and after a moment of silence, she told her in a low voice: "Our family also wants to marry my cousin to Pei Xiaguang. However, my cousin is only sixteen this year, and she is a bit young. Pei Xiaguang should get married besides being obedient. I guess the Pei family will not agree. But according to my uncle, whether he agrees or not, he will give it a try."
Yu Tang opened his mouth wide, making Miss Xu laugh again.
She also knocked on Yu Tang's head, and said, "Otherwise, why do you think Mrs. Yang San is here? You don't really think that everyone is here to listen to the lecture, right? Even Pei Lao'an may not be there. Such thoughts."
Yu Tang didn't say a word, he felt his chest was stuffy, and his face was a little unsightly.
Ms. Xu was still immersed in her own thoughts, she didn't notice Yu Tang's strangeness, and continued to babble: "I don't know who else will come. I have a look at the few families that have come now, and they may also come here." The Peng family didn't mean that. Ah..." She suddenly exclaimed in a low voice as if she had discovered something remarkable.
Yu Tang was startled by her and made his heart tense, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Miss Xu took Yu Tang's hand and whispered to her: "Tell me, will the Peng family and the Pei family be at odds? The Peng family is in Fujian, thousands of miles away. Why are they here to join in the fun?"
Yu Tang's heart was beating wildly.
Miss Xu is too smart.
The Pei family must be wary of the Peng family when it comes to the nautical map, but if the Peng family is also wary of the Pei family, does that mean that the Peng family has discovered that the Pei family is already wary of them? If this is the case, one day the Peng family and the Pei family will turn against each other, and it may not be so easy for the Pei family to deal with the Peng family.
Does Pei Yan know the Peng family's attitude
Yu Tang took a few deep breaths, and then his mood slowly calmed down, and his mind began to spin rapidly.
No matter how smart Miss Xu is, she must be no smarter than Pei Yan. Since Miss Xu can see through things, Pei Yan must also be able to see through.
She should trust Pei Yan.
Yu Tang took a few more deep breaths.
"Did I scare you?" Miss Xu, who only realized that Yu Tang's face was pale at this time, said belatedly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, no." Yu Tang was a little flustered, and wanted to whitewash the peace, but she didn't know why she was flustered, why she wanted to whitewash the peace, "I never thought about such a thing, so I was too surprised."
Miss Xu believed her.
She has seen too many girls like Yu Tang, who usually only care about clothes and flowers, and are not interested in outside things.
"I'm sorry." She said apologetically, "I just like to think wildly, don't worry about it, I'm guessing too. Maybe it's because Fujian is too far away, so the Peng family only came with a few female relatives. For this matter, my mother has told me several times that I am too idle."
"No, it's good that you are like this." Seeing her depressed, Yu Tang comforted her, "Sometimes I also like to guess like this. But, you know more than I do, we guess things differently. Like Sometimes I see the maid next door carrying a basket of pickles when she goes out, but the basket is empty when she comes back, and I guess she secretly exchanged the pickles for silver.”
Miss Xu laughed loudly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Then did you guess right?"
"I don't know!" Yu Tang laughed, "I never had a chance to prove it."
"But I can guess right most of the time." Miss Xu said, "Yin Mingyuan has been ill since he was a child, and he has no wind or rain, but he wants to study at our house and wants me to play with him. If I don't bring him He, he will cry, and the maid beside him will complain to my grandmother." She said angrily, "I had to accompany him to study. Later, when I grow up, I will know how to deal with him—I won't fight with him. say."
