Of course, Pei Yan didn't spread the word.
Although he dug a hole for Gu Chang to jump, but when Gu Chang jumped, he stopped paying attention.
This matter was actually spread by Gu Xi.
Because her father was greedy for her mother's dowry, she had been talked about by the elders in the clan since she was a child, and she had had enough.
This time, for her dowry, her father even acted like a rogue.
She didn't count on her father for a long time, so of course she wasn't particularly sad, but when her brother's marriage with the Yin family was finalized, her father wanted to do it again because he was annoyed at her brother's refutation of his face. For her brother's marriage with the Yin family, he wanted to use the Yin family's dowry to save face for her. After finding out about her brother's agreement with the Yin family, he would yell at their dead mother in the room...
Although the result of doing so would be to hurt the enemy a thousand and hurt herself eight hundred, but she was so happy in her heart that she actually felt that even if there were any consequences, she would be willing to bear them. On the contrary, He Xiang, the maid beside her, was very worried, and said, "What if it's my uncle's house..."
Gu Xi curled her lips and said, "Do you think the Pei family is a nouveau riche like the Li family? The Pei family cares about face, even if my morals are damaged and my marriage is resigned, they will hide it to death , I won’t tell anyone I’m wrong in front of outsiders.”
Isn't this just how a gentleman deceives people
He Xiang was dumbfounded.
Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, "So, you must keep your eyes open when you marry someone."
He Xiang bowed her head and did not speak.
On Yu Tang's side, after finally seeing off the two young ladies of the Pei family, and correcting two account books, it was time to hold the lanterns.
Shuangtao felt sorry for her, and together with Qingyuan, she made ginseng and hen soup.
While Yu Tang was drinking the soup, Miss Yang and Miss Pei came over and brought her some snacks from the capital. Yu Tang naturally wanted to treat them to soup. The two were a little surprised, and politely declined. Only then did Yu Tang know that Miss Yang and the others were going to play at the Ku'an Temple not far away tomorrow, and asked her to go with them.
She glanced at the pile of account books on the desk with some embarrassment, and could only politely refuse.
The two of them didn't force it, chatted with Yu Tang about the Buddhist incense in Ku'an Temple, and then got up to leave.
Yu Tang felt that the two of them didn't just come here to invite her to Kuan Temple, otherwise Miss Pei Si and Miss Pei Wu would ask her when they came over in the afternoon.
She couldn't help asking Qing Yuan: "Can you know what they are here for?"
Qing Yuan responded with a smile, and got the news after a while: "Ms. Yang is going to visit her tomorrow, and she will stay at Ku'an Temple. I'm afraid I want to invite the lady to go with me. If there are more people, this matter will not be too difficult." So eye-catching."
Yu Tang asked interestedly about the person Miss Yang was going to marry.
Qing Yuan is worthy of being the maid in Pei Yan's room, she knows how to take one step and two steps, and find out all the questions that Yu Tang may ask, so that when Yu Tang asks, she won't be unable to answer.
This may be the difference between ordinary maids and first-class maids.
"My surname is Yan. He is said to be a scholar, but his family is very rich." Qing Yuan said slowly, "Heyi Lao'an originally came out of the fifth service. Because he was selected as a scholar, he may want to make some achievements in his official career. , I thought of a way to gain a relationship with Yi Lao'an, and walked very closely with Yi Lao'an's natal family. The reason why the Yang family agreed to the Yan family's marriage this time was also for the sake of the old man Yi. The Yang family took this The second phase was entrusted to Yilaoan. Yilaoan didn’t like to be a matchmaker, so he heard that our old An was here, so he entrusted it to us again. This is how we got the acquaintance of Ku’an Temple.”
Yu Tang nodded straight.
Qing Yuan smiled and reminded her: "If everything goes well tomorrow, Miss Yang will leave for Beijing in two days. Would you like to bring something to Miss Xu?"
Yu Tang didn't expect Miss Yang and Miss Xu to have a good relationship.
Qing Yuan smiled and said: "Miss Yang and Miss Xu can only be regarded as acquaintances. However, the Yang family and our Pei family will be regarded as in-laws in the future. I think Miss Yang must be very willing to help the in-laws. .”
Yu Tang also missed Miss Xu a little bit, she excitedly discussed with Qing Yuan what to give Miss Xu.
Miss Yang and Miss Pei came out of Yu Tang's yard, and couldn't help looking back at the red-lacquered Ruyi gate, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect the cooks in Miss Yu's yard to be so skilled. It’s so thick and fresh that I almost bit my tongue when I drank it. There’s also the fruit on the serving, not to mention a happy brow pattern, but it’s also very sweet. This is made by someone brought by Ms. Yu, or from your family people do."
The other courtyard of the Pei family is very large, and several of the guest courtyards have small kitchens.
Miss Yang's yard is also taken, but the mother-in-law who needs the stove has to tell the steward of the Pei family. But in this way, it is necessary to manage up and down. She only lives here for a few days, although the Yang family is not short of money, but she doesn't want to be so eye-catching.
Miss Pei also noticed it just now, but her relationship with Yu Tang is average, and she doesn't know much about Yu Tang. Miss Yang is Mr. Yang's step-sister, and the relationship is not particularly good. She is afraid that she will treat Miss Yang Too good would make Mr. Yang unhappy, so he replied a little perfunctorily: "Should she bring it herself? This kind of craftsmanship is even in our house, and it is also the person who serves several mistresses in our house. There is no such person."
Miss Yang didn't quite believe it.
Since she came to Pei's residence as a guest, she wouldn't be completely unprepared.
She also inquired about Yu Tang.
The Yu family is not a family with such ability.
The next day, Miss Yang, who was wandering around waiting for someone in the Kuan Temple, talked about this matter again, and invited the girls of the Pei family: "Shall we go to Miss Yu's to ask for a bowl of chicken soup after we go back?"
The fourth lady clapped her hands and asked the fifth lady inexplicably: "Why did my uncle and grandma think of asking Sister Yu to help her read the account books? It makes it impossible for Sister Yu to play with us?"
Miss Wu guessed wildly: "Sister Yu should be good at counting. Isn't their family in business? Business people seem to be good at counting."
Fourth Miss nodded straight.
The third miss looked dumbfounded, took the hands of the fourth and fifth misses, and said: "Stop talking nonsense, the sun is really strong today, let's go to the gazebo in front to have a rest."
Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss were distracted and ran away smiling.
Miss Yang was thoughtful.
The sun is indeed a bit basking today.
Yu Tang was sitting in the room, and Qing Yuan specially asked two little maids to help her fan. She was sweating a little while doing the abacus, and was very uncomfortable.
She simply stood up, opened the window and let the wind blow.
Pei Yan walked in.
He was wearing a moon-white plain fine cloth gown, with only a green bamboo hairpin on his head, his face was white and sweatless, which made people feel refreshed.
When you get closer, there is a faint and unknown elegant fragrance on your body, giving people a sense of cleanliness and innocence.
How can someone be so clean
Yu Tang was thinking jealously, and saw Pei Yan raised the bamboo basket in his hand, and said, "Do you want to go fishing together?"
"Ah?!" Yu Tang opened his eyes wide.
Two days ago, Pei Lao'an told them not to get close to the river, for fear that they would fall into the river without knowing how deep it was.
Pei Yan smiled lowly in her ear, tempting her: "Don't be afraid, I can swim!"
The deep voice seemed to have a hook, pulling at her heartstrings.
It took Yu Tang a while to realize what he said, and hesitantly said: "Can it be done?"
"What can't be done?" Pei Yan smiled slyly at her, "You have read more than half of these account books."
Looking at the big sun outside, Yu Tang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "It's already so hot before the Dragon Boat Festival, will this summer be extraordinarily hot, will there be drought or something?"
At this time in the previous life, she had just married into the Li family, and the Lin family suddenly turned her face. She was not used to it, and she was busy dealing with the Li family's personnel affairs every day, and paid little attention to the outside world. Drought, many people came to Lin'an to escape famine.
The Pei family has a lot of land, and some farms may suffer.
Pei Yan laughed when he heard the words, and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to watch the sky. Yes, this year the Purple Pedestrian Star will move westward and focus on the fire. There should be disaster prevention in the west. I will let the head of the farm pay attention."
Yu Tang didn't understand a single word, and said awkwardly: "I'm just talking casually."
"It can be seen that your intuition is quite good." Pei Yan continued to praise her, put the bamboo basket into her hand, and said, "Take it, it will be up to you later."
Yu Tang only saw others fishing a few times when she was young when she went out with Yu Wen, and in those paintings and calligraphy, she saw that the bamboo basket was quite new, exuding the fragrance of green bamboo, so she couldn't help hugging it in her arms, saying: " Why do you want to see mine? Are we going to use this bamboo pole to catch fish? I can't!"
She doesn't want to either.
Those people holding bamboo baskets in the paintings are all standing barefoot in the stream.
The picture and the reality are two different things.
The creek in the painting is clear and clean, but in reality, there are many aquatic plants or small fish and insects that she does not know, and she has been afraid of these things since she was a child.
Pei Yan looked at her face that seemed to say "I won't do it", and found it very interesting. She laughed loudly, and made a bamboo hat out of nowhere, and put it on her head, saying: "I'm in charge. Fishing, you are responsible for carrying the fish, isn't that fair? How many fish we can have depends on how many you can bring back!"
But she doesn't want to mention fish.
The fish was fishy and sticky.
Isn't he very clean? Why don't you talk about it now
Yu Tang hangs behind Pei Yan in aggrieved manner, racking his brains to think of a way to escape.
But until they walked along the tree-lined corridor to a gazebo by a small river, she didn't think of a way to escape, but Pei Yan burst into laughter in his heart.
He always thought Yu Tang was interesting, she didn't have the facial makeup of ordinary girls, but after really getting in touch with her, he realized that this little girl was even more interesting than he knew.
Just this little appearance of daring to be angry but not speaking, with a bulging bun-like face but rolling eyes, is enough for him to laugh for half a year.
"Just here!" He pretended to be stern, and said calmly, "There are more mosquitoes here, and there must be a lot of fish!"
Then he saw Yu Tang glare at him quietly, and touched his arm in fear.
Really interesting!
Pei Yan ordered Ah Ming who came out, "Take out the earthworms and hang them on the hook."
