Pei Yan felt that Yu Tang was still placed by his side, and he felt at ease in his eyes.
But Yu Tang blushed a little at his "porcelain" and "rubble" words, and flustered, he responded casually, blushing and asked Qing Yuan if the cherries left for Pei Yan were ready.
Pei Yan was so busy during this period that she didn't know the sun and the moon, so she said with a smile, "I bought cherries at home!"
When Yu Tang came back, her face was not as hot as before. She smiled and said, "I didn't buy it, it was delivered by Mrs. Yin. I sent two big baskets, and I asked to take some for my second sister-in-law and Mrs. Gu."
Being able to call Gu Xi "Gu's family" made Yu Tang feel elated.
Pei Yan didn't care about these trivial matters of interpersonal communication. He picked up juicy cherries, stuffed one for Yu Tang first, and then tasted one himself, saying: "The loquats in our farm should be ripe, I'll ask them to send some over, and you'll see everyone give some away when the time comes."
Yu Tang responded, and Pei Yan handed all the cherries in the glazed plate to Yu Tang, saying: "It's quite sweet, it should be from Shandong, you should eat more."
"Don't you like to eat?" Yu Tang quite likes to eat, if she was not afraid of eating too much and ruining her stomach, she almost couldn't stop eating this afternoon.
"It's okay." Pei Yan smiled, "I think you like it very much. I'll ask those fruit shops to bring some to our house tomorrow."
He ate one just now, and Yu Tang has already eaten two in a row. He rarely sees something Yu Tang likes to eat.
Pei Yan was thinking that besides asking someone to bring cherries over tomorrow, he also had to tell the people in the fruit shop that any fruits that would be on the market in the future, or any strange and unusual fruits, could be sent over for Yu Tang to taste. taste.
Yu Tang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after tomorrow."
Pei Yan was puzzled.
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Mrs. Yin saw that I like to eat, so she immediately called someone to tell the person at the fruit shop she knew well, I see the formation, if you don't send four or five baskets, I will also send two or three baskets over. The fruit is not put away, so as not to be wasted."
Pei Yan's expression turned a little ugly.
Yu Tang was surprised, and said: "Shouldn't I accept her gift?"
"No!" Pei Yan replied, although his expression was not as ugly as before, his tone was still a bit stiff.
This Xu family has too many things.
It's not that their Pei family can't afford to eat fruit, and they want her to be courteous.
Pei Yan said: "I think what's going on with Yin Mingyuan, is he really going to let his wife stay in our house every day? Is their house just a decoration?"
Yu Tang felt that Pei Yan was a bit critical when he said that. She said: "It's not that you don't know, those aunts and grandmas of the Yin family have to send someone to find out how much water she drank a day. Raw and cold things are not allowed to be touched..."
Pei Yan became even more annoyed when she heard this, and said: "She and Yin Mingyuan grew up together, so she hasn't figured out what's going on with the Yin family! I feel impatient now, what did she do before? Is there no natal family? It’s uncomfortable to stay in Yin’s house, so you can go back to your natal family!”
The problem is that Xu Xuan's mother was also afraid that something might happen to her first child, so she didn't dare to compete with the Yin family's aunts!
Pei Yan probably wouldn't be able to understand the small scruples and small measures among these women.
Looking at his suddenly unhappy appearance, Yu Tang felt that it was pointless to continue arguing with him, and decided to end the dispute as soon as possible.
She smiled and said, "I think I'm married well, and there are not so many messy things in the family."
Then she saw Pei Yan's calm and calm, which was visible to the naked eye, and she became happy as if Wanli was in the sky.
Tsk! This squeamish bag! Only listen to good things and not bad things.
Yu Tang endured so hard that he didn't laugh out loud.
She quickly changed the subject and told him about Yu Yuan.
Pei Yan laughed out loud.
He thought of Yu Tang holding their Pei family up as a banner, and the reason why Yu Yuan lived in Pei's house was because he wanted to use Pei's house as a banner
The two siblings are quite alike.
His heart softened immediately, and he said with a smile, "Don't he still have Zhang Yinmingyuan's greeting card? If not, let him use it."
Anyway, this debt of favor was repaid by him.
Yu Tang could feel his comfortable mood, and simply joked with him: "That must be used wisely! I think it is enough to use your famous post."
Pei Yan's face was a little dark, and said: "Is my name post not as good as Yin Mingyuan's?"
As Yu Tang walked out, he said, "That's not true. Isn't it rare for Yin Mingyuan's famous posts, and you can grab a lot of famous posts?"
Only then did Pei Yan realize that Yu Tang was teasing him.
But when he came back to his senses, Yu Tang had already left the door with a smile on his face, and shouted at him, "I'll go to the warehouse to see if I can find some suitable fabrics for making small clothes for the children", Just ran away.
Pei Yan looked at the empty door curtain, and the scent of hosta flowers lingered in his nose.
He couldn't help laughing.
—
As expected by Pei Yan, the Peng family asked Shopkeeper Gao to contact Yu Yuan, but it was just to ask for directions. Now that Pei Yan was provoked to investigate Shopkeeper Gao, they stood up very generously and humbly, and sent Peng Jiuye, Peng Yu's brother, to come to him. Pei Yan said hello.
Pei Yan met Peng Jiuye in the main hall of the courtyard where he lived.
Peng Jiuye and Peng Shishi look quite alike, but Peng Jiuye looks rather weak, and Peng Shiyi is more handsome.
He didn't go around in circles, and he apologized to Pei Yan first when they met, saying that their Peng family treated a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, and because of Peng Shiyi's matter, he was afraid that the Pei family would have prejudice against their Peng family, so he didn't have the nerve to come to the door Asking for help, then the shopkeeper Gao was sent here, it was their Peng family who was wrong.
Peng Jiuye said there, but Pei Yan's mind kept turning. When Peng Jiuye finished speaking, he also had an idea in his mind, and said: "You also know that our Pei family and your Peng family have always lived in peace. , but your Peng Shiyi's hand is too long. What about the Li family? Anyway, they are close neighbors to our Pei family. There is no such thing as letting him interfere. Now he not only interferes, but also ruins the Li family. , how do you let our Pei family walk in Lin'an City in the future? If it were your Peng family, what would your Peng family do?"
This is still unwilling to let Peng Shiyi mean.
Peng Jiuye felt that Pei Yan was too aggressive, but what Pei Yan said was indeed reasonable, and wherever he went, no matter who he asked to judge, no one could accuse the Pei family of being wrong.
The problem is that Peng Shixi was ordered by the suzerain to do this matter.
Now that the Peng family can't afford it anymore, they push out the children who were ordered to do things to take the blame. Who will dare to do things for the family in the future? How does the Zongfang convince the public
Thinking of what the suzerain ordered when he came, "No matter what method is used, first reconcile with the Pei family. As for next year, just find a way to get the second son of the Pei family down." He sighed deeply in his heart.
If the second child of the Pei family can't be pulled down, who is the family going to blame
Anyway, it can't be his brother, and it can't be him.
Peng Jiuye's mind was spinning rapidly, but his face was so steady that no one could see the slightest abnormality. He said with a smile: "So our clan elder brother said, let's see how to make up for you."
In fact, the Peng family discussed privately whether to change hands to scratch the itch and bring some business from the Ministry of Industry to the Pei family.
Who knew that Pei Yan insisted on Peng Shiyi and asked Peng's family to guarantee that Peng Shiyi would never appear in Pei's house again, especially in front of his family.
Is this because he is afraid that Peng Shiyi will disturb the Pei family
Peng Jiuye felt that Pei Yan was worrying unfoundedly.
There are no rules and no rules. For a family like them, even if there is any grievance, it is impossible to involve the female relatives.
Peng Jiuye agreed immediately.
Pei Yan was not ambiguous, and directly asked Pei Qi to accompany Peng Jiuye to meet Pei Xuan.
According to the new regulations issued by the Ministry of Households, all Yanyin must be stamped with the Ministry of Household’s seal. And because of some bad habits in the officialdom, those petty officials like to make things difficult for those who come to do things. People like the Peng family brought a lot of salt to seal, even if Peng Yu came to say hello, because the department is separated, the petty officials may not buy it, it’s a small thing to take some money out to manage, and I will drag you today. This thing, that thing tomorrow, just don't give you a seal and delay you for a year or so. It's a small thing for the Peng family to lose face, but it's a big thing for outsiders to think that the Peng family is losing power.
Therefore, even though Pei Xuan came to say hello, the Peng family also gave filial money according to the rules, and everyone happily settled the matter. When Peng Yu knew, Mr. Peng Jiu was all ready to go back to Fujian to announce the good news to Mr. Peng.
Peng Yu stepped on his feet and scolded his younger brother: "Why are you so confused? Why didn't the Pei family discuss it with me when they took you to the household department to stamp?"
Mr. Peng Jiu said aggrievedly: "Didn't you say it? This matter must be done as soon as possible. Otherwise, others will think that there is a gap between our family and the Pei family, which will damage the reputation of the Peng family. Besides, the third brother Pei is very polite, and immediately Someone took me to the Ministry of Household Affairs, so I can’t say we’ll talk about it another day, right? We’re here to beg for help, not to proclaim the decree, and we’re the only ones waiting for others, so there’s no one else waiting for us.”
Peng Yu was so angry that he said, "Then let me ask you, what about Eleven?"
The Peng family can't agree. It doesn't count.
Mr. Peng Jiu said very bachelorly: "This is your business! You just asked me to go to Pei Er Er to help stamp this seal. No matter what conditions the Pei family puts forward, we will agree first. You can't cross the river and demolish the bridge. I will get things done. Now, you guys think that the conditions raised by the Pei family are too high. I, Peng Laojiu, have to walk outside too, you can’t ask me to do anything when I’m doing something, and hit me in the face when I’m done.”
This also stood aside from Pei Yan's intention to punish Peng Shiyi.
Peng Yu was so angry that he was speechless.
Peng Jiuye had nothing to say with his elder brother, so he headed straight to Tongzhou with his servant, and returned to Fujian by boat.
Peng Yu really didn't know what to do, so he left the matter to the patriarch.
The patriarch had no choice but to discuss with Peng Shiyi: "You go to the southwest to hide first. Your seventh brother said that he will find a way to bring down the second son of the Pei family. We will definitely avenge you when the time comes."
