As if he didn't know that the Pei family was about to marry the Yu family, Yu Tang thanked Mr. Pei graciously, and retreated with Mrs. Ji.
Aunt Chen personally sent her out, and when she came back, she praised Yutang to Pei Laoan: "You are so calm at such a young age, a bit like when you were young."
Mr. Pei Lao'an snorted coldly, and said: "You are taking advantage of Xia Guang, right?"
He looked cold, but he wasn't really angry.
Aunt Chen knew that what she said was right, she hurriedly pretended to be wronged: "You say that about me, I don't agree! Although I say I'm for the third master, it's because the third master treats you best!"
The corners of Pei Lao'an's mouth curled up involuntarily, and he told Aunt Chen in a gentle voice: "What was the name of the person who came to serve her last time? Willow catkins or willow shoots? Make arrangements, and this time you will still serve her."
After all, the Yu family's family background is there, it is impossible to send many companions over, even if they are sent over, they are not as good as these maids who grew up in their parents who are familiar with the rules of the family.
If those maids are smart, they will be transferred to Pei Yan's house to work as errands when Yu Tang gets married.
Aunt Chen understood, remembering Aunt Ji's entrustment, she said: "Aunt Ji has a man called Li Zhi, who looks pretty good to me, how about sending this Li Zhi to Miss Yu's side as an errand? Just relying on catkins alone One, I'm afraid I can't hold it."
Liu Xu is also fifteen or six years old, and at this time she is still working as a third-class maid in the guest room, which shows that her ability is limited.
Pei Lao'an trusted Aunt Chen very much, and said, "You can arrange it." Then he talked about some trivial matters about going to another hospital to escape the summer heat.
As for Yu Tang, after Mrs. Ji went to the guest room for her, she met Liu Xu and the others. Because she was still in the old man's filial piety period, Pei Yan asked Yu Tang to marry him, except for a few caring people around Pei Lao'an. Besides, the second master Pei Xuan and the second wife knew about it, and even the eldest wife didn't know the news, let alone the rest of the family. Liu Xu and the others were still the same to Yu Tang as before, chatting and laughing with each other, and helped Shuangtao pack Yu Tang's luggage deftly, Yu Tang changed his clothes again, and took Shuangtao to Fifth Miss's place side.
Aunt Ji saw that everything had been tidied up here, so she went to answer Mrs. Pei Lao'an.
Pei Lao'an immediately asked her: "How is it?"
Obviously a long wait.
Aunt Ji is a person close to Pei Lao'an, and she can be regarded as half an insider, so she naturally knows who Pei Lao'an is asking. She smiled and said: "It's still the same as before." Then, she took out a small purse and opened it to Pei Lao'an: "Look, it's the same as last year."
When Pei Lao'an saw it, it was a silver scorpion who was happy with Wuqian.
Pei Lao'an's hanging heart finally fell down, and he couldn't help but confide to them: "I'm worried about her arrogance, but I'm even more afraid of her shrinking. This is good, at least half of it is done."
Aunt Ji knew that Pei Lao'an liked the third master Pei the most, and hurriedly said: "You should trust our third master's vision, the person he chooses will not be wrong."
Pei Lao'an nodded with a smile, and rewarded Aunt Chen and Aunt Ji with a bag of golden beans.
Aunt Chen and Aunt Ji were nearby to make fun of it: "Oh, we old An people are in a hurry to drink daughter-in-law's tea, and even those of us serving next to us have followed suit."
"Whose daughter-in-law's tea does mother want to drink?" The eldest wife's gentle voice suddenly came from outside the door.
How did this person get in
Are all the people on duty outside dead
And the title "mother"... It's been almost twenty years since she married into Pei's family, and she still doesn't change her words. If she insists on calling her "mother", she feels uncomfortable when she hears it.
Pei Lao'an's face was a little ugly.
Aunt Chen quickly went to lift the curtain, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is here! Please come in quickly, the old An is talking about you, saying that the weather is very hot this year, and the old An will go to the mountains to escape the summer heat soon. You are the only one who stays in the mansion as the clan house, so the eldest and young master's marriage can only be troubled by you."
Mr. Pei rolled his eyes when he heard that.
—
At this time, Yu Tang also arrived at Miss Fifth's residence. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard a burst of cheerful laughter from Miss Fifth's wing.
There was a smile on her face, and she asked Ah Shan, who came to meet her, "Why is it so lively? Are all Miss Pei here?"
Ah Shan nodded with a smile, and said, "Besides the Miss Pei, the young lady of the Yang family is also here." Afraid that she might not know, she said, "It's the step-sister of the Second Young Master's family who came back from the capital and served the elders of the family. By order, I came here specially to send some earthenware to the Second Miss. The Second Miss led her over to greet the Second Wife."
Yu Tang nodded, and Ashan led her into Miss Fifth's room.
When everyone saw her, their eyes lit up.
Yu Tang today is more beautiful than they remembered.
Lake green plain beanie, white pearl earrings, wearing a very simple and delicate jasmine flower, but red-faced and black-haired, a pair of originally black and white eyes are like gems soaked in mercury, shining brightly between glances, like The polished diamond exudes a bright light.
Fifth Miss was the first to shout: "Sister Atang, what did you eat? Or did you wipe something on? How did you suddenly look so good? You must tell us, you must not hide anything."
Yu Tang was stunned, touched his face suspiciously, and said, "I haven't done anything during this time, just like usual. The ointment you put on was recommended by you last time. When Ms. Xu and I went to Hangzhou City We bought some of the ones that were sold. Is it because of those balms?"
The fourth lady said jealously: "We also apply those ointments, why is it so good when sister Yu uses it? Sister Yu, no, you have to treat! If we didn't recommend it to you, how could you use such good incense?" Gao, do you want to invite us to eat?"
Yu Tang smiled heartily and said, "Okay, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you!"
The ladies of the Pei Mansion have been surrounded by a lot of maids and women since they were young. They are particular about eating and keeping healthy. How can they be allowed to eat casually? I have never seen it, and the food that can be asked is actually very limited.
Miss Si rolled her eyes for a long time, but she didn't think about what to ask Yu Tang to treat her to eat, but she was unwilling to give up a chance to have fun like this, so she pulled a round-faced strange woman beside her and said, "Sister Yang, do you have a meal?" What a good idea?"
Yu Tang guessed that this little girl was the eldest lady of the Yang family, and nodded to her with a smile.
Ms. Yang is also very lively, she immediately reported her family name to Yu Tang when she saw her.
Miss San glared at Miss Four, thinking that they should have introduced Miss Yang to Yu Tang when Yu Tang entered the door, and it would be too impolite for the guests to introduce themselves.
Fourth Miss stuck out her tongue embarrassingly.
Yu Tang didn't care about these things, and made love to Miss Yang, who was two years older than Miss Yang and became her sister.
Miss Yang suggested: "Why don't we talk about it in the other courtyard. I heard that there is a small river in the other courtyard. We can go fishing and grill fish!"
Yu Tang did not expect Miss Yang to go up the mountain with them.
Third Miss said to her quietly: "Miss Yang is going to borrow our house for a blind date, and the other party is a cousin from my grandmother's side."
This is kissing and kissing.
However, there are only a few aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they can marry each other no matter what, the relationship is quite complicated.
She smiled, and the second lady blushed and asked Yu Tang to sit down next to her, and talked about the Kuan Temple: "Miss Yang thought it was very good to know, and she wanted to do her best. I said that this matter is yours." In charge, I have to ask you."
Miss Yang smiled at Yu Tang when she heard Second Miss mention her.
To do good deeds, of course, the more people participate, the better.
Yu Tang is naturally welcome.
Miss Yang thanked Yu Tang, and the second lady sighed, "It's a pity that sister Gu can't go up the mountain with us this time."
Everyone started talking about Gu Xi again.
"I didn't expect Sister Gu to marry into our family. It can be seen that Sister Gu and our family are very destined."
"Auntie said that she would not go to the other courtyard for summer vacation. Eight out of ten, she would stay at home to prepare for the marriage of Sister Gu and Cousin Tong. So will Sister Gu marry into our house soon?"
"I heard that Auntie wants to buy a house in Hangzhou for Cousin Tong. I wonder if Auntie will give her house in Hangzhou to Cousin Tong?"
Everyone chattered, Yu Tang just listened with a smile. On the contrary, Miss Yang, who was sitting across from her, had a slight expression, and hesitated to speak several times.
Yu Tang thought of Miss Yang who was said to have grown up with her parents in the capital. She guessed that if Miss Yang knew the niece of the eldest lady's natal family who was with Pei Tong's childhood sweetheart, she knew that Pei Tong almost married that Yang. Miss thing.
After she went to greet the second wife, she stayed in Miss Fifth's room for dinner together with Miss Yang and the other ladies of the Pei family, and then returned to her own residence.
Unexpectedly, the place where she lived was brightly lit, and Qing Yuan was instructing Liu Xu and the others to change the furnishings in the hall.
"Where did the flower cup come from? It's a ten-year-old pattern, and I immediately replaced it with a new one added last year. And this cushion, didn't you see that the red is purple? Take the key from my warehouse Get a scarlet set over here..."
Liu Xu didn't dare to breathe through the tense atmosphere.
Seeing Yu Tang came back, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and called out "Miss Yu" as if asking for help.
Yu Tang guessed that Qing Yuan might have been ordered by Pei Yan to come here, only this guy would not accept any grievances.
She didn't intend to spend a lot of trouble, but she couldn't live up to Qing Yuan's kindness.
Yu Tang made a fuss on both sides: "There is a custom in the guest room. You just want them to open the back door for me. They are too smart to live without rice and have nothing to use. As for me, I think I will only stay for one night. I didn’t care about these. Let you help me worry.”
Although Qing Yuan didn't know that Pei Yan and Yu Tang were about to get engaged, she knew from Pei Yan's attitude towards Yu Tang that Pei Yan was very caring for Yu Tang, which was enough for her to know how she should treat Yu Tang.
She smiled and respectfully blessed Yu Tang, and said: "It was the third master who heard that there were female guests at home, and he was afraid that you would have to entertain guests, so he asked me to decorate the wing room for you."
Yu Tang stroked his forehead.
