There is something in these words!
Mrs. Pei Lao'an is not an ordinary woman. Hearing this, she immediately sat up straight alertly, and said, "What do you mean by that? Oh! I dare to say that this person is thinking about the housekeeper in my hand before he even gets through the door." Right now!
Pei Yan didn't think so much at first, but he was always thinking about Yu Tang in his heart, and hoped to see her immediately when he wanted to see her. Hearing what his mother said, he also became vigilant.
If someone thinks that Yu Tang wants to fight for the power of the housekeeper... Of course, if she married him, this power should belong to her, but he can't let others misunderstand that she is here for this.
Pei Yan giggled, beat her mother's shoulders, and said: "I don't care if you treat the housekeeper as a sweet potato? It's not that there are many things at home, but the second sister-in-law is busy with things in the capital. Shall I leave you alone?"
Mrs. Pei didn't believe a word of Yao'er's words, but she felt that Yao'er was not lying, and he really didn't care about the management of the family.
Maybe he still wants to be with Yu Shi
Pei Lao'an gave his son a blank look, and said: "After this Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter it is the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival or Spring Festival, you will have to stay at our house. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"Really?" Pei Yan said pleasantly, "Then you want to marry a daughter-in-law for the new year, and set our wedding date before the Spring Festival?"
After going around in circles for a long time, it turned out that he was waiting for her here!
Pei Laoan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, took the account book and slapped Pei Yan several times, and then said: "Then tell me, which day will be a good day? I will follow your wishes and let you marry a daughter-in-law someday." .”
Pei Yan didn't believe that his mother was such a talkative person, but he was really itchy in his heart, his mind turned quickly, and he still said: "I think October is good. When my marriage is settled, I may still I have to go to the capital. You also know that something happened to my mentor’s house, and brother Zijin has been left in the capital by the mentor. I should go there to comfort him and give advice to brother Zijin. What."
He really wanted to mourn Zhang Shao.
Back then, when he was in the capital, Zhang Shao took good care of him.
If it hadn't been for him still observing his filial piety and Mrs. Pei's last words, he would have gone long ago and wouldn't have come to beg for Mrs. Pei's safety.
Mr. Pei Lao'an was not sure whether Pei Yan wanted to go to Beijing or get married. Originally, she thought that to make Yu Tang marry decently, it would be best to get married in the spring of next year, but now hearing what her son said, she wanted Yu Tang to tie Pei Yan's heart a little bit, and thought it would be better to get married early.
"Then I'll ask your second brother to talk to Mr. Wu." She pondered, "The sooner you get married, the sooner I can rest assured. Your nephews can also start talking about marriage sooner."
Preparations for Pei Fei's marriage are about to begin.
Pei Yan achieved his goal, and smiled and talked with Mr. Pei for a long time.
When Pei Xuan got the news, he also thought it was good.
Pei Yan and the others couldn't control it anymore, let's see if they could trip him up with gentleness.
He went to discuss with Master Wu.
Master Wu went to Ningbo and still hasn't come back. When Master Wu came back from Ningbo, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.
He immediately went to see Pei Xuan, and heard that Pei Xuan was looking for him for Yu Tang's marriage, he clapped his hands and said yes, and said to Pei Xuan: "Don't worry about the dowry, we have prepared everything here. Even if it was negligent for a while, isn’t there still a full moon and one year old? The Yu family will never short Miss Yu.”
Others don't know, but Pei Xuan knows that Yu's family invested in Jiang Chao's sea boat in Suzhou, and Jiang Chao brought the boat back safely, so Yu's family must have made a lot of money.
He smiled and wrote to Mr. Wu the few days he had discussed with Mr. Pei, and asked Mr. Wu to bring it to the Yu family, and the Yu family would choose a date.
Master Wu was very happy.
Pei Xuan simply made it clear about Yu Tang's dowry: "The Yu family only needs to prepare some daily necessities for Miss Yu. Half of the farm and shop will be paid by Xia Guang, and the other half by Lao An. Don't worry, Miss Yu won't be treated badly."
Master Wu was very surprised, and then he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional in his heart. When he replied to Yu Wen, he said: "After all, it is a family of farming and studying for generations. When the second master said this, he didn't force it at all. With such self-restraint and such a heart, I still love you. It's the first time I've seen you. Your family, Atang, really found a good family. Let her go to his house to live well. In the future, even if Lao An distributes something to the second master's room, it will still be a bowl of water Duanping, don't give birth to anything on your mind."
Yu Wen didn't think of it either.
Daily necessities can be bought with money, but the dowry farm and shop are not something that can be bought with money.
He was also very emotional, and went back to talk to Mrs. Chen.
However, Mrs. Chen was worried, and said: "Isn't it that the Pei family gave it to others? Then it's better not to!"
Yu Wen showed the list to Mrs. Chen, and said: "Why don't Master Wu appreciate it a lot? Look at this list. The farm is on the side of Huzhou, and the shop is in Tianjin Wei. When others read it, they will only think that our family bought it nearby. If you don't go to the farm and the shop, look for the distance, try to make face for the girl, and you won't think that these are given by the Pei family."
Mrs. Chen nodded again and again, grateful to Mr. Pei Lao'an, whatever he thought of his son-in-law Pei Yan, said repeatedly: "Comparing my heart to my heart, I will respect Mr. Pei Lao'an as an elder in the future."
Although she and Pei Lao'an became a generation because of their marriage, Pei Lao'an was older than her and treated Yu Tang so well, she didn't mind being respected by Pei Lao'an in everything.
Yu Wen didn't think too much about this, and discussed Yu Tang's marriage with the Chen family: "In order to prevent others from thinking that our A Tang's dowry is unreasonable, I am going to publicize the fact that our family made a fortune in Suzhou."
Chen very much agrees.
Within a few days, everyone in Lin'an City knew that the Yu family and the Wu family had made a fortune.
Those who came to say goodbye to Yu Tang in a short time almost broke the threshold.
Pei Yan took this opportunity to send a maid over to Yu Tang, saying that she was a maid for Yu Tang's dowry.
That maid is called Xing'er, who is two years younger than Yu Tang, but has peach eyes and apricot cheeks, not to mention very beautiful, with a bit of innocence and romance, which makes people like it.
Mrs. Chen was very nervous, and quietly said to Mrs. Chen: "It can't be the house that the third master chose by himself?"
When they get married, Yu Tang will always be inconvenient, and at this time, she needs a housemaid. A capable family, in order to control the backyard, usually brings two beautiful maids as dowry, and let the son-in-law choose them as the housemaids. Of course, there are some uncles who don't want to see them, but they don't choose from the dowry maids, but choose from the people they used to serve.
The Yu family has a simple population, and the Chen family had never thought of such a thing before.
Now I can't help feeling a little panicked.
Mrs. Chen's heart tightened, and she also thought about this matter, but she could only comfort Mrs. Chen: "Probably not! If that's the case, the third master has a heart, and sent this maid to Miss."
The two anxiously took the maid to see Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was overjoyed when she saw the maid, she pointed at Xing'er happily: "You, you are..."
She didn't remember what the girl's name was before, but she only knew that her name was Bai Xing after she entered Li's residence.
Xing'er bent her knees to salute Yu Tang with some puzzlement, introduced herself and said, "Thanks to the third master for saving us."
After careful questioning, Yu Tang found out that she was the girl from the family who was asked to move away by the inn because of visiting relatives and getting sick.
In her previous life, Bai Xing only went to the Li family after the new year.
During this period, she didn't know what happened to Bai Xing back then.
Yu Tang was very sad, she kept the two of them, and asked them: "What was your original name?"
Bai Xing said with some embarrassment: "It's called Zhaodi."
Yu Tang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed haha, and said, "Who gave you the name Xing'er?"
Bai Xing turned her face away and whispered, "It's me."
It made Yu Tang laugh again.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen also laughed, and put their hearts in their stomachs.
Yu Tang discussed with her: "What do you think of the name Bai Xing?"
Xing'er showed a troubled look, which shows that she doesn't like the name very much.
Yu Tang also followed her, and said with a smile: "Okay, you will be called Xing'er from now on."
Xing'er happily kowtowed to Yu Tang, paid a big gift, and stayed at Yu's house.
Chen slowly realized why Pei Yan gave Xing'er to Yu Tang as a dowry maid.
This little girl is smiling all day long, but she is very attentive in doing things. Not to mention her dexterous hands and feet, she has a particularly good memory. If you just reported a number, she will remember it in a few days. The Yu family will help Yu Tang When tidying up the dowry, she remembered exactly what was put where and who put it there, which was a great help.
Chen's heart was completely relieved this time, seeing Pei Yan became more and more pleasing to the eye, even if Pei Yan came to play with Yu Tang, she would turn a blind eye and close her eyes, leaving them alone.
On the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, the Pei family held a funeral ceremony for Mrs. Pei.
After everyone offered sacrifices to the ancestors of the Pei family and Mrs. Pei, presided over by Mrs. Yi, all the people in the clan of the Pei family took off their sackcloth and changed into plain and elegant autumn shirts.
Old Master Yi sighed, and supported by Pei Yan and Pei Xuan, he went to the hall of the clan house.
On the way, he asked Pei Yan: "Is your marriage settled? If it is settled, it's better to get married as soon as possible, and your second brother should also leave for the capital early."
He was also very concerned about Pei Yan's marriage, and even thought of being a matchmaker for Pei Yan, but he was politely rejected by Pei Lao'an, knowing that Pei Lao'an had someone on his side.
Pei Yan generously talked about his marriage with the Yu family.
Old Mrs. Yi was quite surprised, but thinking about it carefully, perhaps Mr. Pei paid more attention to a woman's character, and their Pei family's marriage to a wealthy family would be just icing on the cake.
When he found out that the wedding date was set on the sixth day of October, he was surprised again.
"That's good." The old man Yi was relieved in a blink of an eye, and smiled, "Our family is going to have a good wedding." He also asked Pei Yan, "It's time to treat guests at this time, right? Have you started writing the invitation? If not, I'll write it for you."
Mrs. Yi is a famous calligrapher in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people will collect the invitation cards written by him himself.
This can be regarded as adding luster to Pei Yan's marriage.
Brothers Pei Yan and Pei Xuan thanked each other repeatedly.
