When Qing Yuan came in with the chilled mung bean soup, he wanted to laugh when he saw this scene—Pei Yan was drawing at his desk, and Yu Tang was fanning Pei Yan with a Sichuan fan. Behind Yu Tang, there was another Two boys were helping them both.
The third master really wants to torment Miss Yu, right
Qing Yuan didn't dare to say anything more, invited the two of them to drink mung bean soup, and retreated lightly.
Yu Tang sat on the grand teacher's chair, rubbing his wrist.
Pei Yan looked at it and said with contempt: "Why can't you even play the fan well?"
Yu Tang turned back without hesitation: "Why don't we change?"
Pei Yan glanced at the half-painted pomegranate flower, raised her eyebrows, and returned what Yu Tang said to Yu Tang: "Why don't we change it?"
Yu Tang was not afraid of him, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Change it!"
Who is afraid of whom
She couldn't draw well, so it wasn't him, Pei Yan, who came to save her.
This idiot thought it was hard to stop her!
Pei Yan was really afraid that she would ruin half of her finished painting, so she hurriedly stopped her: "Okay, okay, don't worry about it. You don't need to fan me anymore, just stand by and pass me the paintbrush Alright." Still there, he said, "What do you think you can do!"
Dare it be her fault
Yu Tang sat on the chair unwilling to move, said: "I want to take a break!"
Pei Yan didn't really want her to do anything, she just thought that he was here to work hard for the Yu family, and Yu Tang had to be with him to feel comfortable. So he didn't force her, as long as she was in the study, he quickly finished two paintings, one of pomegranate and one of peony, and said: "Both of these are fine, you can make a few samples and let the Hu family They started their business by making rice paper. In addition to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they have branches in Lianghu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jinzhong, and Beijing. The business is very big. If your family can win this order, they will not worry about business in the future. .”
Yu Tang was eating fruit there, watching Pei Yan continue to draw the third picture, and chatted with him wildly: "Say, how about adding some new business to our family? Making red lacquered hairpins? I think girls The things sold here are very easy to sell. For example, those who sell rouge and gouache, and those who sell hair flowers.”
Pei Yan hit her unceremoniously: "It's very good. But, have you calculated the cost?"
Thinking of the mountain forest in her family, Yu Tang was immediately discouraged, and couldn't help saying bitterly: "Why can you make money by growing seabuckthorn fruit and selling candied fruit, but I can't."
"Because I know more people than you!" Pei Yanquan praised at the time, and said disapprovingly, "There are so many places where I can sell my goods! Like you, the most eyes are on Hangzhou, of course not. "
Yu Tang stimulated him: "Okay! Then our family should open the shop to the capital. There must be more opportunities there. But it costs money! The shops in the capital are so expensive, who wouldn't want to go to the capital to do business?" !"
Pei Yan looked back at Yu Tang as if looking at a "fool", and said, "Master Wu's family has a lot of money, why didn't he think of going to the capital to open a shop?"
That's because opening a shop in the capital requires a background.
Yu Tang became angry and said, "What's the matter with you? You have to reply to me for everything, so you can't say yes? If you are like this, who will chat with you in the future!"
How come no one chats with him? Everyone wanted to get something out of him.
It’s just that Pei Yan was really a little angry when he looked at Yu Tang like that, so he didn’t continue talking practically, but turned a corner abruptly and asked Yu Tang: “What do you want to eat later? I’ll ask the kitchen to help you Do!"
Yu Tang had lunch here at noon, and he wanted to keep her here for dinner.
Yu Tang said with some embarrassment: "I, I won't have dinner here. My elder brother asked me to go to the shop first when I go back. They want to print out the painting you gave yesterday today."
She felt that Pei Yan was helping her family, but entertaining her with delicious food and drinks. She felt sorry for Pei Yan when she left after eating like this.
Pei Yan didn't think too much about it, and was still a little scruples about keeping Yu Tang from being gossiped about like this, so she didn't insist too much, and only told her when she was leaving: "You come here early tomorrow, while I have free time these two days, I'll draw a few more pictures for your house."
How dare Yu Tang not answer.
In the evening, Pei Yan went to accompany Pei Lao'an for dinner, and talked to his mother about the arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Pei Lao'an basically doesn't care about these things now, and Pei Yan can arrange any arrangements. But after seeing off Pei Yan, she immediately pulled Aunt Chen and asked, "Miss Yu has entered the mansion again today?"
Aunt Chen answered "Yes" with a smile all over her face, and said: "On the road over there, all the people on duty are from our courtyard, and no one will gossiping."
Pei Lao'an nodded in satisfaction, and said, "What are you two doing?"
"The third master seems to be telling Ms. Yu to paint." Aunt Chen said with some uncertainty, "You also know that the third master hates people spying on his yard, and our people don't dare to get too close."
Mr. Pei Lao'an waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Xia Guang to be so interested."
Aunt Chen hurriedly cheered beside her and said: "Who says it's not. It can be seen that the third master and Miss Yu are really destined."
Pei Lao'an nodded, and asked about the eldest wife's affairs: "What is she going to do about the eldest young master's marriage? Is she still discussing with the Yang family? I heard that the Gu family sent a dowry list over there." , what did you marry as a dowry?"
Aunt Chen sighed in her heart when she heard the words, and felt that the marriage between the eldest wife and the Gu family was a bit wrong, and said: "The dowry over there is sixty-four levies, three thousand taels of silver in the box, and the dowry is 50 acres of mulberry fields. Two shops."
If Yu Tang were here, he would have discovered that Gu Xi's dowry had two more shops than in his previous life.
In this way, Aunt Chen also explained: "It is said that those two shops are Mr. Gu's own private property."
Now that Gu Chang is promising, this favor will naturally be returned by Gu Chang.
Mrs. Pei nodded, noncommittal, Aunt Chen was a little worried about Yu Tang, and hesitated: "Miss Yu..."
Pei Lao'an said humanely: "She will be an aunt in the future, so she definitely can't just marry in like this. However, you know Yang's temper, and there is no need to let her know about it now. Let's talk about it after the Gu family's dowry list is finalized. "
Aunt Chen said: "What do you mean?"
Pei Lao'an said humanely: "Miss Gu's dowry is not bad in the south of the Yangtze River, but if it is compared with people like us, it will save money. If Miss Yin knew how to behave, she would not let her sister-in-law marry like this. Come in. We'll see."
In other words, through this incident, we need to see Gu Chang's attitude towards Gu Xi and Miss Yin's ability to handle people.
Aunt Chen answered "yes" with a smile and stopped talking about it.
Yu Tang stayed at Pei's house for two consecutive days, until the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, they made an appointment to watch the dragon boat race together the next day, and they couldn't continue drawing together.
"I'll draw some more pictures for you when I get to the mountain." Pei Yan prepared to send Yu Tang back after lunch.
Yu Tang was quite surprised, thinking that he should have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so he obediently took the painting he drew in the morning, and prepared to go back.
Who knew that Pei Yan asked her to wait, he wanted to change his clothes first, as if he wanted to go out with her.
Yu Tang was a little dumbfounded.
Pei Yan said helplessly: "Didn't you say that you went to the shop to read it? If the version they typed out is not satisfactory. What's the use of me burying my head in painting here? You have to do it! I'll do whatever you want today. Let's go and see together."
After the Dragon Boat Festival, he will continue to lure Yu Tang up the mountain, continue to escape the summer heat with Yu Tang, he doesn't want to go down the mountain because of the business of the Yu family.
Yu Tang didn't know what Pei Yan was up to, he looked at him gratefully, wishing he could serve him tea with his own hands.
Pei Yan coldly snorted arrogantly: "Just don't call your hands sore when I ask you to fan me!"
Yu Tang blushed, but he spoke with confidence: "I haven't done this before? I'll just wait until I get home and practice."
practise? Who do you practice with? Yu's father or Yu's mother
He could barely accept these two, but what about Yu Yuan
Pei Yan glanced at Yu Tang displeasedly, and said: "Let's talk about it when the time comes! The weather is so hot, don't get yourself exhausted and get sunstroke, and then I will invite you a doctor from Hangzhou, it will be much worse Trouble!"
Yu Tang felt that he might suffer heatstroke from Pei Yan's anger.
She angrily waited for Pei Yan at the door of the sedan hall, but she thought of Pei Yan's arrogant appearance after doing a little thing, and felt that she was so pampered, so interesting, so cute... It even made her just think about it I want to laugh when I wake up.
Yu Tang couldn't help pursing his lips and laughing.
Pei Yan didn't see Yu Tang when she came out, she was sweating from fright, knowing that she had arrived at the sedan chair hall first, she hurried over, only to see her laughing like a kitten stealing a fish , he was anxious and angry, and wanted to reprimand Yu Tang, but also felt that her appearance was very interesting, and it seemed that it would not be good if he was frightened by his reprimand.
With this hesitation, Yu Tang saw Pei Yan.
She smiled brightly at Pei Yan.
Bright face, more dazzling than the summer sun.
Pei Yan felt as if her heart had stopped beating.
He put his hands on his chest, thinking: Forget it, adults don't remember the faults of villains, let alone villains and women are difficult to raise.
The two went to Yu's lacquerware shop together.
Because the Dragon Boat Festival is almost over, and there will be a dragon boat race tomorrow, there are many people on the street, mainly shopping for food. Yu's lacquerware shop has more people looking at it, but fewer people buying it.
As soon as Pei Yan entered, he attracted everyone's attention.
He frowned, and quickly stepped into the small courtyard behind.
Yu Yuan greeted him hurriedly.
Pei Yan glanced quickly at Yu Tang who was following behind him wearing a veiled hat, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk in the room."
Yu Yuan saw that his face was a bit uneasy, and his heart shuddered, and he hurriedly took the two of them to the back room where the distinguished guests were received.
Yu Tang took off his veiled cap and heaved a sigh of relief.
It was still too hot.
The masters hired from Jiangxi came here with their family and their mouths, and the two daughters did the work of maids and hurriedly brought tea for them.
Pei Yan's complexion didn't improve either, and she asked Yu Yuan, "Miss Yu usually comes here like this?"
Yu Yuan didn't understand what he meant for a while.
It was still the master's daughter who was quick-witted, and hurriedly said: "Usually when the eldest lady comes, she always goes through the back door. There is no one there. Later, you can go out with the eldest lady through the back door. There are too many people on the street today. a bit."
Pei Yan glanced at the little girl appreciatively, and asked, "What's your name?"
