Pei Xuan knew in her heart that no matter how much she wanted to play with Tangtang like before, she couldn't do it for Tangtang's own reputation.
So I carefully introduced to Su Tang the courtyard where she was going to live. Xiangxueyuan was built when Princess Mingxi was still alive. Because Princess Mingxi loved red plums very much, Duke Pei specially built such a courtyard in the mansion.
When Princess Mingxi was still alive, she once said that when she has a daughter in the future, she will let her live in Xiangxue Garden. If not, she will live with Pei Xuan's daughter-in-law.
Therefore, Xiangxue Garden may not be the most beautiful or distinctive courtyard in the entire Pei Guogong Mansion, but it also has a different meaning.
Guan Yan asked a boy to go and ask for a doctor. When he came back from his work, he happened to see his young father-in-law and Miss Su standing in the yard talking. He quickly came over, "Young Master, Miss Su!"
"You came back just in time. Please tell the housekeeper quickly and tidy up Xiangxueyuan for the lady to live in. Then arrange a sensible maid to serve the lady."
When Pei Xuan saw that Guan Yan was back, he quickly ordered him to do something. When Guan Yan heard that Pei Xuan said that he would arrange for Su Tang to live in Xiangxue Garden, he was stunned for a moment and then saluted, "I'll be there soon, little one."
"Go and search in the warehouse again. I remember that the emperor's uncle gave me several bottles of medicated oil this year. You should quickly find them and put them in Xiangxueyuan." Pei Xuan told Guanyan again.
Guanyan naturally agreed and went out to do things.
"It will probably take a while to clean up Xiangxueyuan. Let's go sit in the courtyard of the main house for a while and wait!" Pei Xuan gave the order and said to Su Tang.
Xiangxueyuan has not been inhabited for a long time. Although it has always been taken care of by servants, now that Su Tang suddenly wants to move in, it still needs to be tidied up.
Many of the servants in the Duke's mansion were afraid that they were spies, and Pei Xuan did not dare to let Su Tang stay with him in the inner courtyard, so he took Su Tang to the main courtyard to sit and talk.
"Okay!" Su Tang and Pei Xuan walked slowly over, still talking in low voices as they walked.
"Tangtang, you said this before, help me?" Pei Xuan knew that Su Tang did it on purpose today, and was a little curious as to why she did it.
Su Tang nodded, "That's right. I didn't want to do it so quickly. I just wanted to publicize my arrival in Beijing in a high-profile manner. By the way, are there any servants in your family who are gossiping? Find a way to spread the news naturally. I am going behind the teacher's back." The news about entering Beijing should not be too traceable, otherwise it will be distorted."
When he heard Su Tang say this, Pei Xuan reacted greatly, "How is that possible? Your reputation will be ruined..."
Su Tang, an unmarried girl, came all the way to the capital to see her senior brother, carrying her teacher on her back. You must know that Song Yi is Su Tang's teacher, which is equivalent to her father.
Su Tang went out like this for a man behind his parents' back. If word got out, his reputation would be lost.
Although this rumor was going to fall on him, he had already thought that when Tangtang got old, he would come to ask for marriage, but he couldn't let Tangtang be criticized like this.
"Listen to me, I can't use the name of teacher when I go to Beijing this time, otherwise I'm afraid there will be another disturbance in the capital..."
These words already touched on the undercurrent in the capital. When Pei Xuan heard her say this, he quickly pulled her and said, "Let's go to the pavilion over there to talk."
The pavilion is transparent on all sides, with lakes on both sides. It is winter at this time and the lake is frozen. It is difficult to hide someone from eavesdropping. Moreover, you can see what they are doing from a distance, so you can avoid suspicion.
