There is a long time in the mountains, and Pei Yan dangles in front of his eyes from time to time. Before he knows it, it is the Ghost Festival.
Mr. Pei Lao'an and Mrs. Chen are preparing to worship the ancestors.
Daoist Qingyuan, the master of Sanqing Temple located in the western suburbs of Lin'an City, personally invited Pei Lao'an to participate in the "Zhongyuan Zhaijiao" held in their temple.
Pei Lao'an readily agreed without saying anything, and explained to Yu Tang in a soft voice: "Our Pei family is a family with a lot of people who go out to be officials in Lin'an City. Everyone will inevitably think that we will follow the lead, so we have to be cautious. Be careful, you have to participate in the incense meeting in the temple, as well as in the sacrificial ceremony in the Taoist temple." She asked her again, "Have you been to Sanqing Temple? Their vegetarian food is better than that of Zhaoming Temple. I'll go see it."
Yu Tang got a lot of advice from Mr. Pei Lao'an during this period, so he naturally agreed with a smile.
Pei Yan obviously prefers to go to the Taoist Temple, not only encouraging Yu Tang to try the vegetarian dishes of Sanqing Temple, but also encouraging her to stay in Sanqing Temple for one night: "They planted several epiphyllum over there, and it is the time to bloom. Let's try our luck."
Having said that, he arranged for people to go to the Sanqing Temple early on, and asked the Sanqing Temple to find a way so that they could see the epiphyllum bloom.
Yu Tang followed Pei Yan to the conservatory a few times when he was free, and got to know some rare flowers from all over the place. Hearing this, he asked him with a smile, "Is it Qionghua? The kind of white flower that blooms in Qiongzhou? "
Pei Yan smiled and said, "It's not the same as Qionghua. Epiphyllum is much rarer than Qionghua."
He took a piece of rice paper and drew Qionghua and Epiphyllum, telling her the difference between the two.
The two were talking happily, Ah Ming ran in happily, shouted "Third Master" with joy on his face, and said, "Master Zhao and the others are back."
Zhao Zhen followed Pei Qi and the others to the capital, and came back at this time...
Yu Tang was overjoyed.
At least someone around Pei Yan used it.
She looked towards Pei Yan.
Pei Yan also looked very happy, and said with a smile: "Let them in quickly!"
Ah Ming went out happily.
Yu Tang was about to evade, but Pei Yan persuaded him to stay, saying: "I'm not an outsider, you know her face well."
This is treating her as the closest person!
Yu Tang blushed a little, but still tried to be as generous as possible, standing there with Pei Yan and waiting for Zhao Zhen and the others.
After a while, Zhao Zhen and Pei Qi came in hurriedly.
Seeing Yu Tang here, both of them showed surprised expressions, but quickly restrained their minds and saluted Pei Yan.
Pei Yan did not avoid Yu Tang, and said directly: "You have worked hard all the way. If you are not in a hurry, go down and change your clothes, freshen up, have a rest, and then tell me about your going to the capital. "
Zhao Zhen didn't say a word.
Pei Qidao: "Old Master Zhang left Pei Wu and Mr. Shu in the capital, let us come back first." Then, she took out two letters from her bosom and handed them to Pei Yan, and continued, "This is A letter from Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Shu. Mrs. Zhang said that you should go to the capital as soon as possible, and Zhou Zhuangyuan is waiting for you in the capital."
Pei Yan didn't rush to read the letter, but said: "How is the Zhang family's affairs handled?"
Pei Qidao: "We all listened to Zhou Zhuangyuan, and we just helped the Zhang family with some rough work. It was Mr. Shu who helped with the accountant and ceremony room."
Pei Yan nodded, and Pei Qi and Zhao Zhen retreated.
Pei Yan then sat down on the teacher's chair behind the desk and began to read the letter.
Yu Tang felt that it was not good for him to be here.
Pei Yan smiled and said: "There is something in this family that needs to be avoided from you."
Yu Tang's face was reddened by the words, but his heart was sweet.
She poured tea for Pei Yan herself.
Pei Yan read the two letters at a glance, picked up the most important ones and told Yu Tang: "The Zhang family's matter has far-reaching consequences, and the mentor in the court is going to re-arrange, probably because he wants brother Zijin to become an official. Zijin is used to being carefree. , I must be very depressed. The mentor also knew that he was a bit reluctant, and wanted me to help him. As for Shu Qing, he told me in detail the ins and outs of Tao An's entry into Jiangxi. Some people have to thank him, and some people Remember, he gave me an explanation! He stayed there because there was no one available around Brother Zijin for the time being, and he helped to be an aide for a while."
But he didn't explain whether he would go to the capital.
Pei Yan thought for a while and said, "Second brother is more suitable than me."
But Pei Xuan did not have Pei Yan's trust from Zhang Ying.
Pei Yan said: "There is no way to do this. Since I am in charge of the Pei family, I can take the Pei family as the master."
Yu Tang asked worriedly: "Isn't it more troublesome for the second master to recover without Mr. Zhang's support?"
Pei Yan smiled slightly, and said: "My second brother also has my second brother's mentor and doorway, but he is low-key. He has a strong elder brother and a willful younger brother. He usually tolerates more."
In other words, without Zhang Ying, Pei Xuan would have the ability to recover on his own.
Yu Tang didn't quite believe it, and said, "It should be easier if Mr. Zhang is there to help you!"
"Not necessarily!" Pei Yan said, "The current situation in the court is very complicated. Sometimes it may not be a good thing to get close to a big boss like a mentor who has teachers and students all over the world. On the contrary, a mentor like the second brother, honestly Being an academician in the Hanlin Academy, really helping the second brother may not be less powerful than my benefactor."
As long as the Pei family didn't stand in the wrong position in the end, it would be fine.
Yu Tang had no choice but to tell Pei Yan again: "After all, the second son of the emperor has taken the lead, and it is better for the third son to not disturb."
Pei Yan thought of Yu Tang's dream again, and also thought of Peng Shiyi.
He wondered: "I don't know what he wants the Gao brothers and sisters to do? The shopkeeper surnamed Gao resigned from his employer and went to Datong. What does he support a shopkeeper?"
On the other side of Datong, there is a relevant city.
In addition to the horse business, there is also a fur business. But neither Fujian nor Guangdong is the main distribution place for horses and fur goods.
Yu Tang hesitated, "Does the Peng family want to get involved in other businesses?"
Pei Yan neither took them too seriously, nor despised them, and said: "Let people watch for a while longer? The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge."
Yu Tang tried his best to think about the past life, but he couldn't find any clues from the past life.
On the day of the Ghost Festival, she first went home to worship her ancestors, and then accompanied Mr. Pei to Sanqing Temple.
They listened to Taoist priests recite the "Xuanmen Homework Sutra" during the day, and recited "Iron Can Flame Mouth Giving Food" at night, and stayed in Sanqing Temple for one night.
In the middle of the night, Qing Yuan woke her up, and she and Pei Yan went to see Epiphyllum in Sanqing Temple.
Sure enough, it is different from Qionghua.
The Qionghua flowers are as big as a plate, surrounded by a circle of small flowers, and in the middle are dotted with smaller flowers. There is only one epiphyllum, which is as big as the mouth of a bowl and as white as jade, a bit like a water lily.
Or after seeing the water lilies raised by Pei Yan, Yu Tang is not as stunning as imagined, but it is also very beautiful.
Pei Yan asked her: "Do you want to move two pots back to raise them?"
"No need!" Yu Tang shook her head, she prefers the water lilies raised by Pei Yan, the flowers are in the water, and there are two lively goldfish under them, the movements are appropriate, making people look alive and lively.
"How about raising two pots of Qionghua?" Pei Yan asked her, and the two walked out of the flower garden where Epiphyllum was kept side by side.
Qionghua is easier to grow, and Yu Tang thinks it is feasible.
Pei Yan discussed with her what to plant for the greenhouse this year: "We must grow more plum blossoms, as well as money oranges and bergamot. During the Spring Festival, they will be used to make offerings."
Thinking so far.
Pei Yan didn't take it seriously, and said: "We are getting married in the first year of this year, and the family will invite spring guests eight or nine times out of ten. There will definitely be many visitors at that time, so what if we don't arrange the house well?"
The two were chatting and laughing, and walked around Sanqing Temple before going back to their rooms.
But I didn't expect that when I woke up early the next morning, the Yu family sent A Shao to pick up Yu Tang back, and said: "There is something important, I will continue to go to the mountain to accompany the old An in two days."
Not only Pei Yan, but also Pei Lao'an were shocked, and called Ah Shao to ask questions.
A Shao didn't know either, but said that it was suddenly arranged by Yu Wen last night, and Yu Wen was still at home waiting for Yu Tang to go back.
Pei Lao'an's first thought was to suspect that Mrs. Chen was in poor health.
If something happened to the Chen family, and Yu Tang kept his filial piety for another three years, what would happen to the marriage of the two families
She immediately called Aunt Chen: "You go back with Miss Yu, and report to me immediately if you have anything to do, don't let the Yu family make their own decisions."
What Pei Lao'an is most afraid of now is that the Yu family will not be able to hire a good doctor.
Aunt Chen is Pei Lao'an's confidant, knowing what Pei Lao'an is worried about, she immediately said: "I'll take a few boys over there."
It's good to call someone to report something.
Mr. Pei Lao'an nodded and said, "You take Hu Xing with you, he is familiar with Doctor Yang and Doctor Wang."
Only these two imperial physicians are good in Hangzhou.
Aunt Chen agreed, and while sending someone to invite Hu Xing, she went to Yu Tang's side to help Yu Tang order the servant girls around her to pack up, and comforted Yu Tang: "Go back and stay for two days. If you can't go up the mountain for a while, I'll just send someone to send back the things you're used to. You don't need to bring so many things back."
It also saves time and can leave earlier.
Yu Tang was also a little anxious. He listened to Aunt Chen's suggestion and went out with only the usual things.
Finally, I saw Pei Yan at the gate.
He pulled the horse and stood beside the mule cart, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'll go back with you. I also sent the nurse at home to rush there ahead of time, and we'll know what happened later."
Yu Tang was determined, and Pei Yan personally supported him into the mule cart.
Aunt Chen looked at it and sighed.
I'm afraid that this marriage will never be broken no matter what.
I also hope in my heart that there is nothing wrong with the Yu family, otherwise Pei Lao'an will be so disappointed!
As Pei Yan expected, they encountered a guard sent by the Pei family at the gate of Lin'an City. The guard said: "Third Master, Master Yu didn't say what happened, but Master Yu also said that it's a good thing. You and Miss don't worry, walk slowly, don't worry."
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Yu Tang couldn't help complaining in her heart, she would go back if she wanted to, and she didn't speak clearly, she was sweating all the time just now!
It wasn't until they returned to Yu's house that they found out that it was Jiang Chao who had returned with a boat full of spices, gold and jewels.
