When Li Duan's landlord told him that the house would be taken back, Li Duan began to regret complaining in front of Pei Yan.
He went to find Shen Shanyan.
Unexpectedly, Shen Shanyan was packing his bags, saying that he was going to the capital, and Zhou Zijin wrote a letter asking him to help him as an aide. He didn't hide it from Li Duan, and said bluntly: "The new prefect of Lin'an has a prejudice against me. I don't want to stay in Lin'an and look at him, but when I go back to Hangzhou, I quarrel with your teacher's wife day and night. After thinking about it, I think Maybe it would be better if I went to the capital, just treat it as me going on a long trip.”
Li Duan didn't mention the matter of renting a house for the time being, and helped Shen Shanyan pack his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he said casually: "I heard that the second master of the Pei family has gone back to the capital, what kind of job will he find this time?"
Shen Shanyan didn't think much about it, and said: "Now that Pei Xiaguang is out of office and Zhang Shao has passed away, the Zhang family has a lot of things that need to be rearranged. This is a good thing for Second Master Pei, maybe the Zhang family will include him. What's more, he The mentor is not a vegetarian, so he will definitely find a way to arrange for him."
Li Duan's jealous heart was bleeding, and he talked about the difficulties he had encountered.
Shen Shanyan was very surprised, but it was expected after thinking about it carefully.
Just last year, when the county magistrate in Tongxiang died because of corruption in ink, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation, it was reasonable that they couldn't accept what happened to the Li family.
He failed to think of the Pei family as Li Duan set, but after a moment of silence, he warned Li Duan earnestly: "Look, there are some things that have a bottom line and must not be done. "
This is a bit of accusation against Li Yi.
Li Duan felt a little annoyed at the thought of how many people would talk about his family and his father behind his back, but in front of Shen Shanyan, the only person who was willing to run for him when he was in trouble , he felt that he should be more respectful, so he lowered his head and said "yes" with regret on his face.
Shen Shanyan didn't want to say more, he let Li Duan go, and said: "Since their family is not willing to rent a house to you, then you can change to a new one. I have an acquaintance who is a host in Yongfu Temple , if you don’t dislike it, how about going to Yongfu Temple to stay for a while? After two years, these things are over, and it will be fine.”
Li Duan is going to end in two years, the most important thing now is to find a quiet place to study. Although Yongfu Temple is poor, it is fortunately quiet.
He hurriedly thanked Shen Shanyan.
Shen Shanyan shook his head secretly in his heart, left him for lunch, gave him his name card, and then sent him out.
Li Duan successfully moved into Yongfu Temple.
Lin naturally complained a lot, and wanted to buy a house, so Li Duan had no choice but to persuade her: "Father still needs money to manage when he arrives in exile, and I will go to Beijing in two years, so I can save a little now, just wait for my title on the gold list." .”
But can you pass the Jinshi exam once
Lin's words were on her lips, but she swallowed them down, and ordered the woman beside her to help hang the curtains and clean the room.
It's just that what people want is usually hard to get.
After Lin moved to Yongfu Temple, she went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense from time to time, hoping that the Buddha would bless their family affairs, and inevitably they would meet some pilgrims who liked to talk.
On this day, she went to offer incense again, and heard about Yu Tang and Pei Yan's marriage: "It's the first one in Lin'an City. It is said that the dowry was either bought in Hangzhou or in Suzhou. There is also a chiming bell. It’s the kind of clock that can tell the time by itself. It’s the first one for the entire city of Suzhou.”
The people listening to the side exclaimed, "Then what kind of family is the Yu family? The girl is married to the Pei family, but she can still sit with the clock and ring the clock? Could it be some Jiangnan family who never came out?"
"Just say that my father is a scholar." The person who sent the message was not very clear, but he could tell that the marriage between Yu and Pei was quite interesting, and said, "But there are also some family backgrounds, plus he treats women like pearls, and married to a The Pei family didn't want their daughter to be wronged, so they gave up their family fortune to help their daughter buy a dowry."
Everyone praised "tsk tut" and said: "What kind of family you find is secondary. The important thing is not to be loved and valued by your parents. You see that the Gu family married a daughter, and it made a lot of jokes. Let me tell you , if I have a son, I would rather marry the daughter of the Yu family than marry the daughter of the Gu family."
Someone echoed: "Who says it's not? Marriage is a good thing to have two surnames. If the married wife's natal family doesn't want to help at all, what's the use of being prominent? It's better to marry a family, but if something happens, you are willing to help out." where?"
Most of them nodded in agreement, which made Lin's anger burn immediately, and he couldn't help but "hum" coldly: "Then what kind of good family is the Yu family? It's just a poor scholar. The bell rings, I think it's a rumor? Even if it's not a rumor, It should be the Pei family who went out with the left hand and entered with the right hand in order to save face for their daughter-in-law, right?"
Those female pilgrims looked at her as if they had seen a lunatic. The woman who said this first even pulled her companion and said, "Let's go too! I saw it with my own eyes, and there is no need to mess with these messy things." Some people will explain in detail. Anyway, some people just don’t want to see other people’s family well.”
After finishing speaking, he looked up and down critically at Mrs. Lin.
Lin was immediately stimulated by her attitude.
She was one of the most valued daughters in her natal family, and she was also a Jinshi lady when she married into Li's family. She had never been looked down upon like this, as if she was a woman who had never seen the world in the market and had never studied.
Lin's face was flushed, and she was about to argue with the female pilgrim. Who knew that when those people saw it, they would rush away as if they had seen the plague.
She was so angry that she couldn't say a word, her hands were shaking, and she wanted to go back to the house, but all of a sudden, she lost control of her limbs and fell to the ground... When Li Duan rushed over, she invited the doctor to see it, and the doctor said it was a stroke , You can only live well, you can't be angry, you can't get angry and so on.
Li Duan had no choice but to boil the medicine himself and serve Lin Shi to drink it. Lin was already paralyzed and did not forget to tell Li Duan: "No, no, let it go, Yu Shi!"
With bitterness in his heart, he nodded in agreement, perfunctory Lin.
And Yu Tang, who got the self-ringing clock, walked around the clock several times, stared at it for a long time, and then asked Yu Wen: "Father, how did you get it? This is the first time I've heard of such an object." .”
Enough to give her a long face.
Yu Wen proudly said: "I didn't think of this, Master Jiang thought of it." Then he talked about his trip to Suzhou this time with some pride, "He knew that the Pei family intended to promote him, so he was very happy. I bought this chime clock. Master Wu and I were embarrassed and gave him another ten o'clock."
When he went to Ningbo last time, Jiang Chao said he would consider it, but this time he took the initiative to invite them to Suzhou, probably because he had inquired about the situation of the Pei family.
Mrs. Chen came in with a tray, just when she heard the end of the sentence, she couldn't help saying: "Did you say how much this clock is? You have to give him the money. My brothers will settle the accounts. Only when the accounts are settled can the business continue for a long time." , so that you don’t have to pay back the favor from Mr. Pei San. He has helped our family a lot. This is what uncle meant. He said that if Mr. Pei San helped our family like this, our family would not be able to make a fortune. Fate, don't bother Mr. Pei San again."
Although Pei Yan was already her son-in-law, she still couldn't believe it and didn't dare to call Pei Yan casually.
Yu Wen was always open-minded when it came to money, and he said with a smile: "You've been nagging me every day, can I not give the money to Mr. Jiang? Don't worry, he is a smart man. Two thousand taels of silver have already been accepted. I don’t care whether he is really worth the silver or not, I gave the money.”
Only then was Chen satisfied, and handed the bird's nest in the tray to Yu Tang: "Drink it soon. I asked Mrs. Wu to help buy it."
Yu Tang didn't really like drinking these, but as the wedding day approached, her mother began to cook all kinds of beauty supplements for her to drink, and asked Doctor Yang to give her a peace pulse, and asked Doctor Yang if she wanted to prescribe a prescription son.
Doctor Yang also knew about the marriage between the Yu family and the Pei family, and was more polite to the Yu family than before. He felt that Yu Tang was in good health and did not need to prescribe any prescriptions, so Chen gave up.
Yu Tang drank the bird's nest in the bowl like medicine.
Chen smiled gratifiedly, asked Shuangtao to put away the bowl, and talked about the two maids who accompanied Yu Tang to marry this time: "Xing'er is easy to say, I look very clever. But that orchid, nothing Understood, I was wondering if I should send her to Mrs. Wu for two days to be transferred or taught?"
The Yu family didn't have many servants, and they treated the servants in the family quite leniently, and the Chen family was indeed not good at these things.
The husband and wife were talking about Yu Tang leaving the court from time to time.
Yu Tang listened beside him, but became an outsider instead.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
Time goes by so fast when you're busy.
In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of October to worship the ancestors.
Yu Wen felt that this year their family was very different from previous years, not to mention the addition of an eldest grandson, Yu Tang's marriage was also settled, the offerings for ancestor worship were more abundant than usual, and they even went to Zhaoming Temple to do a Buddhist ceremony.
At this time, Pei Yan met Jiang Chao casually.
The two agreed on some business matters, and Jiang Chao made it clear to go to Yu's house.
The matter of Yu Tang leaving the cabinet officially began.
Except for Yu Tang, everyone in the Yu family was busy with building a shed, setting up a ceremony room, inviting the master on the stove, and inviting the singing team.
Listening to the noise outside, Yu Tang felt that her room was getting more and more quiet.
She got up and caressed the bright red wedding dress hanging on the hanger, the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy, and she even caressed the golden threads with her hands very childishly for a long time.
On the sixth day of October, the sun was shining brightly.
Yu Tang got up as usual, and Xiang Shi brought in the lunch, and even smiled and begged Yu Tang for a big red envelope.
After lunch, Mrs. Wu brought her eldest daughter-in-law over.
She is a Quanfu person invited by the Yu family.
After bathing, twisting noodles, combing hair, and eating sweet rice wine, Mrs. Wu and the eldest daughter-in-law helped her put on her wedding dress.
Bright and dazzling, bright and colorful.
Even Mrs. Wu, who saw Yu Tang often these days, was also amazed. She praised "it's so beautiful", but Chen, who hid outside the door and took a look, burst into tears.
