What happened in this mansion, especially the back house, if Pei Lao'an wanted to know, she would know immediately. So Pei Yan sent Qing Yuan to clean up the room with Yu Tang, and even opened his own private warehouse for Qing Yuan to choose things at will. Before Qing Yuan came out of Yu Tang's wing, Pei Lao'an knew about it.
She laughed loudly, and said to Aunt Chen: "Look at this child, if he wants to get better with anyone, he will do his best." At the end of the sentence, the smile gradually faded and turned into a sigh.
As a mother, she is most afraid of her child's affection being let down.
Aunt Chen hurriedly comforted her: "No, Miss Yu has entered the mansion, you can just observe and observe from the side."
Pei Lao'an nodded, and couldn't help but feel that the depression caused by the arrival of the eldest daughter-in-law had almost dissipated.
The next day, dozens of mule carts from the Pei Mansion drove up to Tianmu Mountain.
Pedestrians along the way couldn't help but stop and comment: "Why did the female family members of the Pei family go up the mountain so early this year, aren't they celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in the city? It's still a bit cold to go up the mountain at this time, right?"
"This is something that the manager of the Pei family has to worry about. What does it have to do with you?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Chief Aman for some days, do you know what he is doing?"
"There are so many businesses in Pei's family, and he is the chief manager. It takes half a month to go back and forth. Isn't it normal that you don't see anyone?"
Yu Tang arrived at the other courtyard in Pei's mule cart.
The stewards had arrived two or three days earlier, and the lodging place had already been packed. Unlike last year, this year Yu Tang lived next door to Pei Lao'an, in the yard behind the second wife.
Miss Yang knew that she couldn't help being a little strange, so she asked the nurse next to her, "Is Miss Yu really just a junior of the Pei family?"
But the one who lives is closer to Pei Lao'an than the second and fifth misses of Pei's family.
The nanny thought about it carefully, and said with certainty: "It's really just a junior of the Pei family. It may be because Miss Yu is quite organized and has won the favor of Mr. Pei, so Mrs. Pei treats Ms. Yu very well." Just look aside. If Miss feels uneasy, I'll check it out."
Miss Yang shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. We're just visiting their house, and we'll be leaving in two days. I don't care about life matters. I have to rush back to the capital. Elder sister Xu has set a date to leave the cabinet on September 28th." , I have to see her off."
The nanny didn't say anything anymore, and sent someone to inquire about the arrangement of Pei Lao'an's side, so that the young lady of their family should prepare clothes and go to join in the fun in front of Pei Lao'an.
Yu Tang felt like a mirror in her heart, and felt that the reason why she was treated like this was because she was about to propose a kiss to Pei Yan. She walked around the yard while the servant girl was arranging the furnishings in the house.
This courtyard is about the same size as the one she lived in last year, but the scenery is more vivid. In addition to the flower trellis and flower wall, the small courtyard also has two thick banyan trees, not to mention the lush branches and leaves, and the roots are knotted, protruding from the ground. Come on, some can swing, while others can sit on people like stools.
Yu Tang walked around the two old banyan trees planted together, and found a hole in the tree that could accommodate people. He couldn't help but feel childlike, and wondered if he wanted to go in and see if it could really hide people. Who knew that she was about to enter the hole when she heard Pei Yan's familiar voice: "What are you going to do? Aren't you afraid that bugs will get into your clothes?"
She was startled, and looked around, and saw Pei Yan wearing a moon white plain gown, standing curiously under another banyan tree not far from her.
Yu Tang was overjoyed and said, "Why are you here?"
Pei Yan saw that her eyes lit up when she saw her, her voice was filled with joy, and her mood also rose, saying: "Let me see if you are comfortable." He said, walked over, and suddenly turned to her reach out.
Yu Tang's heart was beating wildly, and he tilted his head subconsciously, and said in a vigilant voice, "What are you going to do?"
Pei Yan's face sank, he reached out and took two leaves from the top of her head, spread out his hands and showed her: "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Yu Tang chuckled, and hurriedly said, "When did you come here? Did you have lunch? We went out late, and there were refreshments in the car. I ate several pieces of Poria cocos cake, and I don't know who made it. It is soft and glutinous, delicious, and it seems to be better than the ones made by our family."
Pei Yan was a little angry at Yu Tang's suspicion of his intentions, but seeing Yu Tang flattering him with a smile like this, the little anger in his heart dissipated quickly.
He said: "Although I went out later than you, I came here on horseback and arrived at about the same time as you. I have already ordered to go down and eat in an hour, and then everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Eat whatever you like in each yard, and eat whenever you want, so that everyone can feel more comfortable. But starting tomorrow, three meals a day will be set at regular intervals. It is best not to eat late at night. Not to mention easy to accumulate food, but when you are old, you are prone to a lot of problems."
Pei Yan told her a lot of knowledge about health preservation. After all, she just wanted to eat less and move more. She was almost sleepy, so she took advantage of the gap to interrupt Pei Yan, saying: "I heard that riding a horse I'm very tired. Would you like to drink some tea in my room? I brought some rock tea here this time, which is definitely not as good as your collection. However, I made dim sum, which is slightly sweet and not greasy Taste, I guess you should like it."
He is quite familiar with his preferences.
Pei Yan nodded in satisfaction, not realizing that Yu Tang had interrupted him, but considering that she lived close to the second wife, the second brother would definitely tell the second wife about him and Yu Tang when he returned. If he went to Yu Tang's place and was seen by his second sister-in-law, he was afraid that his second sister-in-law would have a bad opinion of Yu Tang, so he decided not to visit Yu Tang for the time being.
"I brought Qing Yuan here." He said, "Just let her bring the snacks later." Having said that, he told Yu Tang, "My second sister-in-law will stay with my mother for a few days before going down the mountain." , My second brother is going to prepare for his recovery, and my second sister-in-law has to prepare some things for entertainment, so you can take care of my little niece when the time comes."
This is also good for Yu Tang.
Yu Tang understood his intention, looked at him gratefully and gave a "hmm", and couldn't help guessing the intention of Mr. Pei Lao'an inviting her to go up the mountain this time.
Looking into her sparkling eyes, Pei Yan felt as if he was looking into a pool of autumn water.
It's so beautiful!
He felt a little dazed in his heart, and said in a slow tone: "It doesn't mean anything else, you can get familiar with the people and things in our family early, and you can relax later. Our family is not very big, but Small is not very small, mainly those who have many in-laws and are intricate... "
Yu Tang is not a person who doesn't know what is good or what is bad. After seeing Miss Xu's comments on those aristocratic families, he knows how powerful they are.
"I see." She smiled sweetly at her, and said, "I will definitely not let you down." After finishing speaking, she winked playfully at Pei Yan.
That appearance, like a child-like playfulness.
None of this is the main thing.
The main thing is that not only did Yu Tang not annoy him for making his own way, but he happily accepted his arrangement.
Pei Yan was very happy.
The little girl he was looking at was really different.
Pei Yan couldn't help but stepped forward to hug Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was frightened.
Her whole body was stiff, her mind didn't turn, she was blank, until Pei Yan let go of her, she felt her limbs gradually gained strength, her face was hot, and she belatedly recalled the time when Pei Yan hugged her. The faint smell, the soft feel of the moon-white muslin on his body... She didn't even dare to look up at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang's appearance, and then realized that she was rude.
His face was flushed, and he felt embarrassed that he should say something, but he didn't know what to say. He hesitated for a long time, and heard a burst of easy footsteps outside, and Qing Yuan's cautious voice: "Miss Yu , Miss Yu, are you here? The third master specially sent me to come and have a look."
Yu Tang looked up.
Pei Yan felt even more embarrassed. He did another thing that he couldn't understand for a long time.
Pei Yan said in a low voice, "Then I'll go first," and ran away from the other side.
Yu Tang was dumbfounded.
Qing Yuan appeared in front of her eyes.
"Miss Yu!" Qing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "I found you, the old man sent someone to pass the message, saying that we will have dinner in an hour, I saw that the mountain had just delivered Fresh shad come here, let them cook you a bowl of soup, you should fill your stomach first and rest for a while, so as not to lose energy later.”
Yu Tang thanked her with a smile, but Pei Yan's somewhat embarrassed figure couldn't help appearing in her mind, she couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.
Qing Yuan didn't know why, and his face was full of confusion.
Yu Tang laughed even harder.
—
After drinking some hot soup and resting for half an hour, Yu Tang felt that he was radiant again.
She freshened up and went to Pei Lao'an's place.
The second wife had already been serving there, seeing Yu Tang she couldn't help but look her up and down.
The lake-green plain-faced beanie, inlaid with thin silver-red teeth, has a bit of liveliness in its simplicity, and its skin is so white that it seems to be shining, but its cheeks are slightly rosy, like a blooming hibiscus flower, fresh and lively. Arbitrary enough to make people jealous.
No wonder the third uncle couldn't get out once he plunged in.
As her mother-in-law, Pei Lao'an might be dissatisfied that Pei Yan married such a daughter-in-law, but as a sister-in-law, she was very happy. Not to mention anything else, at least Yu Tang will not insist on suppressing her like the eldest wife. Otherwise, her husband wouldn't have tried his best to find a chance for her to follow him to the post.
She stepped forward with a smile, took Yu Tang's arm affectionately, and said, "Are you hungry? At this time, it is said that lunch is a bit late, and dinner is a bit early, but at least I will stay with the old man first." Use it a little. There is a small kitchen in your yard, and when you go back at night, you can ask the maid to make you some porridge or something for supper." Thinking about Yu Tang's lack of family background, she was afraid that the people around her would be emboldened Xiao, who didn't dare to light the fire, said again, "Why don't you bother, you can go to my place later and use some with our family, Adan."
