After a while, female relatives of Peng, Song and other families also came over one after another.
Seeing the seating chart, everyone was puzzled, but seeing that the members of the Pei family sat calmly according to the seating chart, thinking that the Pei family is also a century-old family with a long history, living in seclusion in Lin'an, maybe this is their rule. So the doubts turned into doubts, but no one raised any objections, as if it should be so, and each found their own place to sit down. After sitting down and taking a closer look, I realized that the position was really correct. It was clear who should be in the main seat and who should be next to whom.
The young ladies of the Peng family and the Song family were all smiling, feeling that it was novel and interesting, but Mrs. Song Si, the leader of the Song family, and Young Mistress Peng, the leader of the Peng family, were terrified.
They are not men who walk outside. In order to make a name for themselves, not only are they not afraid to tell outsiders about themselves, but they also publicize everywhere so that others can know the character of this person. These female relatives, if they can keep a low profile on weekdays, They avoided it if they could, but the Pei family insisted that they didn't get their seats wrong. What does that mean
It shows that although the Pei family lives in the small city of Lin'an, they know everything about them.
In particular, the eldest wife of the Peng family is not the future wife of the Peng family. This time she was asked to bring someone here because Mrs. Peng valued her calmness, agility and flexibility, but the eldest wife of the Peng family was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among her sisters-in-law. After accepting this errand, Mrs. Peng stuffed the second young lady of the Peng family in, so that the second young lady of the Peng family, who had the name of the aunt of the Yin family, attracted the attention of others. But when the Pei family arranged the position, they put the second young mistress of the Peng family together with several young mistresses and misses of the Song family, but put her and Mrs. Song fourth together as the person in charge. The old An sat together.
Although she smiled and greeted the female family members of the Pei family naturally, she was very uneasy in her heart. She didn't know what the Pei family meant by doing this. Yu Tang who was sitting next to Mrs. Pei was attracted to him.
She remembered all the important female relatives of Pei Manor.
Yu Tang is a new face to her.
She looks too beautiful.
She guessed that this little girl should be Miss Yu who made Miss Song Liu suffer.
Fourth Mrs. Song asked the nurse next to her in a low voice, "Is that Miss Yu?"
The close-knit nurse nodded in embarrassment.
Mrs. Song Si didn't speak, looking at Yu Tang wondering what she was thinking.
It happened that Yu Tang turned around.
The eyes of the two collided.
Yu Tang smiled politely at Mrs. Song Si.
Mrs. Song Si also nodded politely.
The two greeted each other.
Mrs. Song Si couldn't help muttering in her heart, thinking that this little girl Yu Tang was not simple, and that she could sit in such a front row seat on such an important occasion, she must be very popular with Pei Lao'an.
Sometimes "the county magistrate is not as good as the present", and the close wife and big maids around Pei Lao'an don't dare to neglect them. If they can talk to this little girl, maybe they can brag in front of Pei Lao'an. Ear wind.
She thought of Mr. Song Si's hair that was going to be gray these two days, he was a little sick and rushed to the doctor, and wanted to have a conversation with Yu Tang, and then she realized that the place where she was sitting seemed to be separated by a few old people, but she wanted to It was not easy to get past a few old An people and strike up a conversation with the female family members of the Pei family.
She can't just call the little girl over in full view, can she
Only then did Mrs. Song Si feel that the location was well arranged.
Even if you know this person is very important, but you can't take advantage of this opportunity to speak up.
It seems that their Song family should have such a seating chart for whatever business they have in the future.
And she still has the seating chart from the Pei family in her hand, so she can make fine adjustments based on this.
She took the seating chart of Pei's family and studied it.
Mrs. Peng was too embarrassed to talk directly to Mrs. Song Si, so she had to look around, trying to match the seating chart with the faces of the people, but when she looked up, she saw Miss Gu and the female family members of the Wu family walking in together.
She frowned slightly.
Why did Miss Gu walk with the Wu family
You know, Miss Gu is the future eldest grandson-in-law of the Pei family's clan house.
Is it true that the Pei family intends to marry the Wu family, as those people rumored in private
Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Peng was a little anxious.
Mr. Peng made a temporary decision to marry the Pei family.
Of course, it would be best to marry Pei Yan.
However, no matter whether it was Miss Seven or Miss Eight who came with her, they seemed unqualified.
If Pei Yan agrees, the Peng family will let the Pei family choose one of all the girls of the right age in the Peng family.
If Pei Yan disagrees, let's see if he can choose one of the fourth and fifth misses of the Pei family to marry back to the Peng family.
If the Pei family takes a fancy to Miss Wu...it will be too bad for their Peng family.
Grandma Peng looked at Miss Wu's beautiful face like a peony, and whispered to her close wife to find out why Gu Xi came here with Miss Wu.
The close-fitting mother-in-law responded and left.
Gu Xi looked at her seat chart, but she didn't know what happened.
She sat with Miss Song and Miss Peng, of course, not far from Miss Wu, but this arrangement could neither reflect her relationship with the Pei family, nor make her and Miss Wu closer.
Did Pei Yan start to suppress her before she got married
Gu Xi sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. She still had a happy look and went with Ms. Wu to greet Pei Lao'an.
Pei Lao'an didn't know why Gu Xi was arranged to sit with Miss Song. In her opinion, although the Pei family couldn't openly take care of Gu Xi at this time, they shouldn't arrange her so far away. It's just that this secondary list has been sent to all families. If she has any objections, it will only make people feel that the Pei family is not united and not in harmony, which will damage the reputation of the Pei family.
She smiled and said a few words to Gu Xi and Miss Wu, and then let them go back to their respective places.
As soon as Gu Xi sat down, she found Yu Tang who was sitting next to Mrs. Pei and sitting side by side with Second Miss Pei.
She trembled with rage.
Why is Yu Tang sitting there
How does the Pei family view themselves
Could it be that she is not as good as an outsider like Yu Tang
Gu Xi didn't want to lose her composure, and pretended not to notice, said hello to Miss Song and Miss Peng, and sat down.
Miss Wu was a little unhappy.
She felt that she was sitting a little far away from Gu Xi, so she discussed to let Gu Xi change places with Miss Peng Ba who was beside her.
Miss Peng Ba didn't care, and changed places with Gu Xi.
The two of them whispered again: "Miss Xu is very powerful. On such an occasion, if you can't say it, you won't come. It can be seen that the Pei family also wants to give the Xu family some face."
Both Gu Xi and Miss Wu were a little envious.
Miss Wu said: "I heard that there will be a quarter of an hour break in the middle of the lecture, shall we go and play with Second Miss Pei?"
She had followed Gu Xi to visit Miss Pei Er alone yesterday, the three of them had a very speculative conversation, and they even made an appointment to go shopping at a small stall outside the temple in a few days.
Gu Xi's gaze inevitably fell on Yu Tang again.
The lady surnamed Ji next to Mr. Pei Lao'an was bending over with a smile and talking to Yu Tang in a low voice.
She gritted her teeth, glanced at Miss Wu, and said, "I don't know what Mrs. Ji is talking to Miss Yu? Before today's lecture, every family will donate utensils to Zhaoming Temple. I heard that Miss Yu, except Together with Miss Pei's family, I helped Ku'an Temple make Buddhist incense, and their family will donate a merit box to Zhaoming Temple."
For such a large-scale Buddhist meeting, the temple usually invites a scholar to write down the grand occasion of the day, and then set up an inscription. At the end of the inscription, the name of the person who donated the utensils to the temple will be engraved. This is extremely dignified and can honor generations.
Ms. Wu looked at Ms. Yu's eyes suddenly became a little sharp, and she said pointedly: "Ms. Yu is quite a caring person? Our family only donated a thousand taels of silver. She donated two things by herself. .”
Gu Xi originally wanted to bring disaster to the east, but this Miss Wu is a very courageous person, she was afraid that if she continued to speak, Miss Wu would make a fuss recklessly, and if the fire was set on her, it would be more harm than good.
"She often walks around Pei's house, it's just that she has more chances than others." Gu Xi smiled indifferently, and changed the subject, "However, the Buddhist incense in Ku'an Temple is very good, do you want to go and see it later. Among the incense prescriptions that Ms. Yu gave to Kuan Temple, it is said that some can be used to make sandalwood fragrance, I am going to buy some to make gifts for my family, if you want to buy some too."
Ms. Wu didn't like Yu Tang in the first place. She felt that she was from a poor family and didn't know how to love herself. She went to such an occasion to show off. Seeing that Gu Xi didn't talk about Yu Tang anymore, she didn't mention it, and said with a smile: "Okay! Are you Are you saying that the Second Miss of the Pei family presided over this matter? I have to lift her stake, and I have to buy some back. "
The two were chatting and laughing, the episode just now seemed to have calmed down and never happened.
Young Mistress Peng was observing the girls of the Pei family, so she would inevitably see Yu Tang.
She found that Yu Tang was very familiar with the people around Pei Lao'an, and the people around Pei Lao'an seemed to like her very much, including the second wife and several Miss Pei. As for Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth of the Pei family who were not engaged, one was lively and the other docile, and she couldn't tell the good from the bad at the moment.
Maybe, she can check this Miss Yu.
Young Mistress Peng rubbed the seat chart in her hand, thinking that the two young ladies of the Pei family had to check carefully.
She was afraid of looking away.
Someone has to help her take this responsibility.
And this Ms. Yu, it would be even better if we could also investigate together.
Grandma Peng thought for a while, and whispered to the maid who was close to her, and said, "Go and ask the Elder Master, the Eleventh Master has come to Lin'an City, do you need to greet the old An of Pei's family?"
Eleven Lord of the Peng family is the person in charge behind the Peng family. He came to Lin'an with Mr. Peng, but he did not live in Pei's mansion. Instead, he brought a group of people and lived quietly.
It's better to take this opportunity to let Peng Shiyi turn from the dark to the bright, come to greet the elders of the Pei family openly, and remember the appearance of the two young ladies of the Pei family and Miss Yu.
After thinking about it, she handed the seat chart in her hand to the maid who was close to her, and said: "Before you talk to the old man, give this seat list to the old man first."
They even knew about the Peng family's inner courtyard, Lin'an was the territory of the Pei family, and when Peng Shixi came to Lin'an, maybe the Pei family already knew about it.
