As for after the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it wasn't that Pei Yan didn't want to bring Yu Tang with him, but Master Wu started to visit Pei Yan frequently after he knew that the Pei family intended to sponsor the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival. Pei Yan didn't want Yu Tang to see his cousin, He had no choice but to reluctantly leave Yu Tang at home, so when discussing the Lantern Festival with Mr. Wu, he would occasionally show a little impatience.
Master Wu didn't know the reason, but he thought it was Pei Yan who was impatient with these trivial matters. In the next few days, he did not bother Pei Yan with a wink, so that Pei Yan could take Yu Tang to the Lantern Festival.
After the lights were turned off, the sky was clear for several days, and the wind blew on my face to make it warm, without the previous coldness.
Yu Tang bought some Gastrodia elata, Polygonum multiflorum, and ginseng from shopkeeper Tong Da, packed them in paper boxes, and Qing Yuan carried them to the second wife's place.
They have already decided to leave for Shandong on the 20th, they have already packed up their things, and they will leave only after paying homage to Mrs. Pei.
The Fifth Miss of the Pei family was full of reluctance, hugged Yu Tang's arm and said to her repeatedly: "You can talk to Uncle Third when the time comes, and go to Shandong to visit us. I went to the Guozijian together with the third uncle, and I admire the third uncle very much. This time, Dad went to Shandong and got a lot of help from him. When the time comes, you can find a way to encourage the third uncle to take you there."
There is such a friendship in the officialdom? !
The villain in Yu Tang's heart wiped her forehead, while she smiled and pinched Miss Fifth's cheek.
Fifth Miss led Yu Tang to the hall.
The second wife has packed everything that needs to be cleaned up, and she was worried about the parrots that Pei Hong raised, so she said to Yu Tang, "I don't know if I can make it to Shandong alive."
Yu Tang felt that whoever raised him was responsible, so he asked Pei Hong with a smile, "Where did you go?"
During the lantern festival of the Lantern Festival, this kid bought more than a dozen lanterns with his entourage and walked on the street. Everyone avoided him like a bully. Pei Yan didn't say anything at that time, but handed him over Pei Man, ask Pei Man to send the second wife's family to Shandong, and ask Pei Hong to follow Pei Man to help.
I don't know if Pei Man can hold this kid down!
The second wife sighed, and said: "I was taken to the boat by the chief manager, and the boatmen will all board the boat tonight."
Because it was a long journey to Shandong, the Pei family parked their three-masted sailboat at Tiaoxi Wharf for the second wife to use on the way.
Yu Tang didn't know what to say.
When Pei Xuan was around, Pei Hong was very obedient, but when Pei Xuan left, Pei Hong was like a cat released from a cage, causing trouble every day.
However, Pei Lao'an also said, if children don't cause trouble, can adults cause trouble? It doesn't matter if you get into trouble, what matters is that you don't get into the same trouble again.
Yu Tang quite agrees.
The two chatted for a while, and it was time for lunch. Pei Yan was not at home today.
It's spring, and Pei Yan is going to urge the farms to start spring plowing.
He's a little busy these days.
Yu Tang went to Pei Lao'an's place to eat together with the second wife and fifth ladies.
The second wife chuckled, thinking that Yu Tang was quite well-behaved, knowing that he often went to Pei Lao'an's place to accompany her, so she said: "The house is even more deserted after I leave, you have to move around more frequently in the future."
It stands to reason that Pei Lao'an has two grandsons, Pei Tong and Pei Fei, and Pei Tong is married to a wife. Pei Lao'an should be very lively around him, but for some reason, Pei Lao'an spared Pei You this The morning and evening of the room are fixed, and the eldest wife probably has something in her heart, she simply pretended to be sick, and hid in her yard and did not come out, which made the two brothers Pei Tong do not know what to do. Excuses for not attending.
Although Yu Tang and Gu Xi live under the same roof, Yu Tang has never met Gu Xi since he met Gu Xi when he went to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Pei on the first day of the new year.
This is also one of the benefits of marrying into a big family, right
Yu Tang teased himself in his heart, nodded towards the second wife with a smile, and said gratefully: "I know! Don't worry, second sister-in-law, I will definitely go to accompany mother often in the future."
The second wife smiled with satisfaction.
The two went to Mr. Pei's side by side.
I never wanted to enter Lao An's courtyard, but I saw a man in Tsing Yi who was about fifty years old standing in the middle of Lao An's courtyard, accompanied by a few servants sweating profusely, all of them were in a dilemma. appearance.
Both the second wife and Yu Tang were a little curious, they quietly left the courtyard, turned a corner, and re-entered the courtyard from the backyard.
Mrs. Ji should have gotten the letter. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Aunt Ji.
She came forward and quickly explained in a low voice: "It's Mr. Zhang's staff, so I have to see Mr. An. If Mr. An doesn't see him, he won't leave. However, the third master is not here, so it's not easy to drive him away forcibly." If it’s not good to leave, just throw people there, we don’t know what to do?”
The main reason is that Pei Lao'an didn't want to see him!
Yu Tang pondered secretly in his heart, he had no choice but to express his opinion, so he said to Aunt Ji worriedly: "After all, he is someone who has served Mrs. Zhang, and he has to give face, so you should just treat him as a grind, no matter what, don't treat me like that." People are offended to death."
Aunt Ji smiled wryly, and said: "We know that too. But this is not the solution after all. It would be best if the third master can come back quickly."
While speaking, several people had entered Pei Lao'an's hall.
Mr. Pei Lao'an was obviously a little unhappy, but he cheered up after seeing them, and asked people to bring candies to Yu Tang and Fifth Miss.
Yu Tang felt a little embarrassed thinking that he was an elder. On the other hand, Pei Lao'an waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "You are only a few years older than A Dan, so you can eat as you please."
Yu Tang smiled and sat down around Pei Lao'an, and first peeled an orange for Pei Lao'an. As soon as Pei Lao'an took the orange, he heard someone talking outside: "Why are you doing this? Three Uncle is not at home, isn't it embarrassing my grandmother by doing this?"
It was Pei Tong's voice.
Yu Tang and the second wife couldn't help but exchanged glances.
The staff's voice came from outside, because the voice was flat, the people in the room couldn't hear what they said.
Pei Lao'an's eyes suddenly sharpened. Her old man's face darkened, she was silent for a while, and said: "Please come in, Eldest Young Master and that Mr. Chen!"
Aunt Chen sighed secretly, and went to invite the two of them in.
Yu Tang and the second wife avoided the study in the east, and only came out after Pei Tong and that Mr. Chen left.
Mr. Pei Lao'an ordered the meal to be served.
Yu Tang and the second wife couldn't help exchanging glances again, wondering whether they should have lunch here.
But Mr. Pei said: "It has nothing to do with you! You are here with me, and I feel better."
Yu Tang and the second wife smiled and said yes, trying to tell some short-sighted jokes from the parents, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.
A smile gradually appeared on Pei Lao'an's face.
Yu Tang was thinking that when Pei Yan came back, he had to tell Pei Yan to find a way to get rid of the staff member of the Zhang family, otherwise he would always ask for this and that, making everyone uncomfortable.
I never thought that Pei Yan would come back at almost dawn that day, and when he came back, his face was still full of exhaustion.
Yu Tang thought that he must have traveled most of the night, and his heart ached so much that he hurriedly got up to help him wash and change his clothes, and ordered Qing Yuan to bring in a bowl of black-bone chicken and ginseng soup stewed on the stove.
Pei Yan didn't speak until she changed her clothes and washed her face, without the coolness of night dew on her body, then hugged Yu Tang tightly, and said in a low voice, "Hold me for a while."
As if being hit, with a little depression.
Yu Tang didn't want to ask anything, he hugged Pei Yan vigorously, and gently stroked his back, as if this would make him less tired and more warm, Qing Yuan brought chicken soup in , Yu Tang did not hide shyly like usual, but shook his head gently towards Qing Yuan, motioning her to gently put the chicken soup on the table, and after she stepped back, he spoke to Pei Pei gently. Yan said: "Do you want to drink some chicken soup? Warm up your stomach first, and then have a good sleep. Wait until you have enough energy."
Pei Yan leaned against Yu Tang's body for a while, then gave a low "um", but didn't get up.
Yu Tang had no choice but to hug Pei Yan again, set him down on the concubine's couch next to him, and went to serve chicken soup.
Pei Yan drank it all in one gulp.
I don't know if it's because of the relief, or if the chicken soup really makes people feel warm, Pei Yan's complexion has improved a lot, but he still has no intention of talking to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang quite understands this feeling.
In the previous life, when she knew that the Li family was the murderer who killed her whole family, she didn't want to say a word.
She serves Pei Yan to rest.
Pei Yan closed his eyes, as if he was falling asleep from exhaustion, but Yu Tang had been too close to him, and he could tell from his breathing that he was not asleep, and he didn't really want to talk.
She held his hand tightly, and said softly: "Sleeping! I'll be watching by the side. If anyone is there, I'll call you."
Pei Yan shook Yu Tang twice, her breathing slowly became long, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Yu Tang let out a long breath, only to realize that his vest was covered in sweat.
She froze for a moment.
She seems to be more worried about Pei Yan than she imagined...
Instead, Yu Tang couldn't sleep anymore.
But Pei Yan still got up earlier than Yu Tang thought.
He said "Morning" to Yu Tang with a smile, his fair face was full of radiance, he could not see the depression of last night at all, it seemed to be shining in the bright light of the morning.
Yu Tang sat up suddenly, feeling like he was dreaming.
Pei Yan smiled and pinched her nose, and said: "Get up quickly! The sun is going to burn your butt. Fortunately, Mommy only asked you to go to greet her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. Otherwise, you will definitely be punished if you are like this." Discussion is a lazy daughter-in-law."
The more he was like this, the more afraid Yu Tang was to ask.
Afraid of provoking his sadness, afraid that he is not ready to answer, afraid that he will not bring it up again, afraid that he will be unhappy... And this kind of "fear" is different from the previous "fear".
The "fear" in the past was thinking about the big deal and I tried to coax you.
The "fear" now means that I feel distressed when I think about it, and it hurts so much that I can't breathe.
Yu Tang covered his chest with his hands.
Pei Yan looked at it and said with concern: "What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"
"Oh," Yu Tang said, "No, I got up in a hurry and was a little confused.
Pei Yan smiled and said: "Then get up quickly and have breakfast. We will go to see Muma together later, and you can come back to catch up on sleep."
Yu Tang's heart beat non-stop.
It's over, she loves Pei Yan so much that she doesn't want him to worry about her!
She must have fallen in love with Pei Yan, right? !
