Pei Yan was thinking about Yu Tang in his heart, so he hurried, and finally returned home at Shen Shizheng, only to learn that Yu Tang followed Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu to the house newly bought by the Yin family and had not returned yet.
Although he murmured in his heart "it's just a new house, it takes so long", but he actually understood that if a woman can play with these things, she won't feel tired all day long.
Then he wants to go and have a look
Pei Yan was eager to try.
But I feel a little inappropriate... or I feel a little embarrassed.
There was Mrs. Yang San over there, and he could only look at Yu Tang at most when he went there, and Yu Tang didn't know what he was thinking.
He panicked when he thought about apologizing to Yu Tang last time.
But staying at home like this made him a little unwilling.
How to do it
Pei Yan sat cross-legged on the Zen chair in the study, with a sombre face, so that the maids and servants serving in the room did not dare to breathe loudly.
Fortunately, there was a letter from the capital. He frowned and dismissed everyone around him. He took a book from the bookshelf behind him and stayed alone in the study. It was translated.
It was his mentor Zhang Ying who brought the letter to him.
He asked Pei Yan to go to Beijing with Pei Xuan after taking off his clothes.
Pei Yan looked at the letter, got up after a while, took out a small blue and white porcelain Ou, threw the letter into the Ou and burned it.
Calculating the time, Zhou Zijin probably hasn't arrived in the capital yet.
But he had already sent a pigeon message to tell Zhang Ying about Zhou Zijin's itinerary.
Zhang Ying also asked him to go to the capital, and asked him to bring his brother.
Teacher, is this trying to reuse their Pei family
But he promised his dead father that he would guard the family property and the clansmen in his hometown...
Pei Yan was not in a good mood.
The fourth steward came in and asked him to show him: "You said you would ask Mr. Hu to come over. There will be a boy from the shop returning to Lin'an tomorrow. Do you want to bring a letter?"
Pei Yan couldn't help thinking of the forest in Yu Tang's house.
He frowned, and said: "Let him leave the Zhaoming Temple matter to someone else, and come to Hangzhou immediately."
The four stewards bowed and agreed, and withdrew.
Pei Yan sat in the study unintentionally, walking along the small lake in the backyard alone, the sky gradually darkened, and he didn't notice it.
Yu Tang and the others came back earlier than planned. Mrs. Yang San even went to the fourth steward as soon as she entered the door, and asked Pei Yan: "Has he had dinner? Is it convenient for us to visit him at this time?"
The fourth steward glanced at Yu Tang quickly, and then said: "The third master has been alone since he came back from Chunfeng Tower, and now he is walking by the lake behind, and he hasn't had dinner yet. I'm worried, what should I do?"
The implication is to let Mrs. Yang San decide whether to report to Pei Yan.
Yu Tang was startled secretly, and couldn't help saying: "It's already this time, why hasn't the third master had dinner yet?"
In her heart, Pei Yan was a person who valued herself more, it had to be something serious that she didn't even have dinner.
Mrs. Yang San was also secretly surprised.
Yu Tang is a well-bred little girl, when she heard that Pei Yan didn't have dinner, she was rude and rushed to speak in front of her.
Thinking of the relationship between Yu Tang and the Pei family, she thought of a possibility.
Mrs. Yang San took a look at Miss Xu.
Miss Xu was very indifferent. She grew up held in the palm of everyone's hands since she was a child, so it's not a big deal for her to speak casually like Yu Tang. Therefore, she didn't notice the way Mrs. Yang San looked at her, instead she thought of something with Yu Tang, and wondered, "But what happened?"
Of course, the fourth steward would not talk about Pei Yan casually. He replied: "The little one doesn't know either. The third master hasn't spoken all afternoon."
The people of the Yin family are not very familiar with the city of Hangzhou. The matchmaker brought by Yin Hao was found by Mrs. Yang San through Qin Wei's wife. She followed the matchmaker, what happened in the Chunfeng Building, and she knew all about Yin Hao and the Gu family's engagement process over there.
Yu Tang and Miss Xu followed Mrs. Yang San, and when Mrs. Yang knew about it, they also knew about it.
The three of them looked at each other.
Mrs. Yang San instinctively felt that Pei Yan was probably worried about the marriage of the Yin and Gu families, so she hurriedly said: "Please help us to report to the third master. If the third master is inconvenient today, we will ask to see you tomorrow."
The fourth manager has always been worried that Pei Yan is in a bad mood, and now that someone asks to see Pei Yan, he is naturally happy to see it.
Who knew that when Pei Yan heard that Mrs. Yang San and the others had returned, she immediately invited them to the flower hall by the lake to talk.
While the fourth manager was going to pass the news, he was thinking in his heart why Pei Yan wanted to meet Mrs. Yang San and the others in the flower hall.
Could it be because it not only has a good view, but is also close to where Mrs. Yang San and the others live
The fourth manager thought about it for a long time but he couldn't figure it out, but Mrs. Yang and his wife were already in front of him, so he had no choice but to stop his thoughts, smiled and personally led the three of Mrs. Yang to see Pei Yan.
When they arrived, Pei Yan's side had already cleaned up the flower hall, and set up refreshments and fruits.
Pei Yan glanced at Yu Tang, seeing her happy expression, couldn't help showing a little smile in his eyes, and said to Mrs. Yang San: "You worked hard today! I heard from the boys that you haven't had your dinner yet, and I just happened to return it." It's useless, why don't you let them put it here, we have dinner together, we talked, you can go back to rest earlier."
Mrs. Yang San readily agreed, thinking to herself, no wonder people say that Pei Xiaguang is considerate and thoughtful, and he really deserves his reputation.
Several people sat down in different ranks, drank a few sips of tea, ate two fruits, and the atmosphere was warm. Mrs. Yang San talked about her reason for coming: "I have heard about the incident at Chunfeng Tower, and I came here specially to thank you." Your—your second elder brother Yin doesn’t take care of the household affairs very much, so he will inevitably neglect some things, if you hadn’t reminded him, he would have made a big mistake today.”
Pei Yan was puzzled and glanced at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang remembered what Mrs. Yang San sent to Chunfeng Tower to say, so she pursed her lips and smiled.
Under the setting sun, her eyes were shining like stars.
Pei Yan was in a daze, and when she recovered, she no longer knew what Mrs. Yang San had just said.
Seeing that Mrs. Yang San was waiting for him to reply with a smile, he couldn't help but salivate and said, "This is..."
Mrs. Yang San only thought that her words were too tactful, so she simply smiled and said openly and honestly: "I also know that the dowry of the girl's family should not be so clear, otherwise the girl's family has not married to her husband's family, but let the people of her husband's family get involved first." Be wary, the days to come will only become more and more indifferent. It's just that the situation of the Gu family is different. Mr. Gu's father is too inconspicuous. We have become villains. It's better than marrying Mrs. Gu's father for a little dowry after the girl is married. , It’s better if the stepmother has a gap.”
It was only then that Pei Yan realized that Mrs. Yang San was thanking Yin Hao for reminding him and the Gu family to clarify Miss Yin's dowry in advance.
He didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "Miss Yin is also my younger sister, and I will stand by her side no matter what."
Mrs. Yang San nodded and said with emotion: "When the aunts and grandmas of the older generation left the cabinet, whether it was Master Zhang or Master Li, they were still studying hard in the academy at that time. The elders in the family wanted to help, but they were afraid of hurting their son-in-law. That's why I didn't make any agreement on the dowry. I just want my son-in-law to live a better life and focus on studying. Mr. Gu married our family, but he has already achieved great success. It's better to make an agreement on some things in advance .”
But if it is an agreement, it should be better for Gu Chang to propose it
Pei Yan believed that Gu Chang was a smart person. He looked at Yu Tang, but smiled and asked Mrs. Yang San: "What did the Gu family say?"
Yu Tang opened his eyes wide.
What happened to Pei Yan today? Just look at her when you say a word, do you have something to say to her in private
She wondered if she should find a chance to ask Pei Yan later.
Mrs. Yang San over there is obviously very satisfied with this matter, she did not notice Yu Tang and Pei Yan's eye-browsing lawsuit, and said with a smile: "This time, the second child is also very reliable. He didn't mention anything at first, and then the matchmaker When we talked about the dowry, he said that there is no need to make any agreement, but the Gu family heard about it. Gu Chaoyang offered to agree on the ownership of the dowry according to the practice of marrying girls in Jiangnan. Father. The second child just pushed the boat along and reluctantly agreed."
As for what's in my heart, I don't know.
But with such a father, Gu Chang would be ashamed enough!
Pei Yan's goal was achieved, so of course he couldn't bring this matter on himself, he praised Yin Hao fiercely against his will.
The aunts and grandmothers of the Yin family are famous for doting on their mothers. Mrs. Yang San is such a shrewd person, she didn't have any doubts, and took all of Pei Yan's compliments to Yin Hao without hesitation, and said: "I knew it earlier He has become more and more capable after being released, and he should have been allowed to leave Beijing a few years ago."
Pei Yan had no choice but to remind Mrs. Yang San, and said with a smile: "It also depends on the opportunity. In a few years, Second Brother Yin will have to go back to the capital."
Others dare not let it out, for fear of not being able to go back. But Yin Hao had an uncle who was an old man in the court, and to him, letting him go outside was like escaping the life of relying on his elders and going outside to play around.
Everyone said a few more words, and the fourth steward set up the meal himself.
Eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.
Yu Tang always felt that Pei Yan was looking at her all the time, but when she looked up, she could only see Pei Yan eating with her head down. She could only think that she was thinking too much.
Pei Yan was thinking how he could find an excuse to send Yu Tang back. It's a pity that Mrs. Yang San lived next to Yu Tang, and he didn't find a chance until the dinner was finished.
The next day, Gu and Yin's two families had a formal ceremony. Yu Tang was dragged by Mrs. Yang San, and Pei Yan was dragged by Yin Hao. The two of them didn't meet each other for a whole day, let alone speak to each other.
Pei Yan decided to go back early.
Hu Xing rushed to Hangzhou City at this time.
Seeing him, Pei Yan found him pleasing to the eye, and before he settled down, he called him to the study and asked about the forest in the Yu family.
Hu Xing's mind turned quickly.
He has already told Pei Yan about that forest several times, this time Pei Yan brought up the old story again, is this to make him have to find a way out for the Yu family's forest? Or is it that he didn't take things to heart, and he didn't remember, and asked him to ask him again
Hu Xing thinks it may be the former.
With Pei Yan's intelligence, it's impossible to have a bad memory.
But he really didn't know what to do with that mountain forest!
Hu Xing was bitter in his heart, but he said his flattery with sincerity: "You are well-informed, the farmer in the farm only listened to your words, so that he can grow oranges in summer. You are born to give ideas, and I am born to be An errand runner. You just order, and I promise to do it properly."
