Delicate Flower Chapter 15: Identity


Despite this, both Chen and Yu Tang felt on pins and needles, this was not a place to stay for a long time. The two of them discussed going to tell Lei Zhi and go to the place where the Pei family held a vegetarian banquet in advance.

Unexpectedly, when they went out, they saw a group of boys unloading boxes and cages.

From that tone, it was Mrs. Pei’s natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang, who came to express her condolences and arranged to stay in a guest room not far from here.

No wonder I heard a commotion just now.

Afraid of attracting others' attention, Chen and Yu Tang quietly found Leizhi and said goodbye to her.

Leizhi thought that the mother and daughter felt too lonely there, and thinking that it was almost time for the banquet to start, he dropped what he was doing and led them to the hall where lunch was arranged.

It was midday in summer, the sun was dazzling, but the big trees on both sides of the corridor of Pei's house blocked the sky and the sun, and the cool breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable.

From a distance, Yu Tang saw several men walking through the corridor opposite.

The man in the middle is about 23 or 24 years old. He is tall and tall, wearing mourning clothes. His face is pale, his nose is high and his taut lower jaw is slightly raised. Although his aura is high, there is a gloomy look between his brows.

It turned out to be the man in Tsing Yi I met at the **** shop that day.

Yu Tang’s apricot eyes widened.

He, why is he here?

This is the inner courtyard of the Pei family!

Lei Zhi hurriedly pulled the corner of Yu Tang's clothes and said urgently: "Miss Yu, she is our third master and his friend. You, please stay out of the way."

Third Master? !

The third master of the Pei family? !

No way? !

Yu Tang looked at Lei Zhi and then at the person opposite, suspecting that he was suffering from dazzling eyes and ringing in his ears.

Lei Zhi saw Yu Tang staring straight at the Third Master without turning his eyes. He was so anxious that he was sweating. He didn't care whether it was rude or not, so he pulled Yu Tang to the corner of the corridor.

Seeing this, Chen stood in front of Yu Tang.

Pei Yan walked through the corridor on the opposite side without squinting.

On the other hand, several of the men following him turned back to look at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang didn't notice this. She was still in shock that the man in Tsing Yi was the third master of the Pei family.

When Lei Zhi took her forward, she asked Lei Zhi in disbelief: "Third Master, why are you so young?"

Lei Zhi said: "The third master is an old master."

She knows he is an old man!

But she didn't know he looked so young!

Back then, she had guessed that he was the young master of the other two families.

He also regarded him as a relative of the Pei family.

No wonder he didn't look good at that time.

Yu Tang blushed and said, "How old was your third master when he passed the imperial examination?"

Leizhi said: "Twenty-one years old."

You can't blame her.

Her father was still a child when he was twenty-one years old.

Yu Tang pouted.

Ms. Chen stopped her daughter and said, "Don't be rude! Go your own way."

It is so rude to criticize people from the Pei family.

Yu Tang had no choice but to shut up.

Ms. Chen was still uneasy and said, "You promised me not to cause trouble. No matter how curious you are, just bear with me."

Yu Tang nodded helplessly.

Hearing something in the words of their mother and daughter, Lei Zhi asked nervously: "What happened?"

Ms. Chen said: "It's okay, it's okay. This little girl of mine is just too curious."

A smile flashed in Lei Zhi's eyes and he said: "Everyone who sees the third master of our family will be very surprised. Miss Yu is not the first one." She said, glanced behind her, and then whispered He said, "The third master is probably going to visit Mrs. Yang."

"Visiting Mrs. Yang?" Yu Tang said, looking a little strange.

Are Mr. Pei San and Mrs. Yang so good?

"That's our eldest wife's maiden sister-in-law." Lei Zhi said, "Our eldest wife's maiden brother is serving as the general affairs envoy in the General Affairs Department, and he is a third-rank official!" After saying this, Lei Zhi looked around for a moment, and saw There was no one around, and he showed a look of disdain and said, "Mrs. Yang was not feeling well just now. She said that the arranged yard was not good, so she asked the general manager to help change one. The general manager also reported this trivial matter to the third master - - The third master has not been able to eat or drink well these days because of the old lady’s affairs. He has been upset in his heart, and the chief steward bumped into him. Just watch, the chief steward is about to eat the first meal. "

I wonder if this is part of Mrs. Yang’s plan?

Yu Tang thought to himself.

Ms. Chen was frightened when she heard this, and whispered: "Maybe the chief manager has nothing to do with Mrs. Yang?"

"Mrs. Yang is not that kind of person!" Lei Zhi said disapprovingly: "The general manager is a bit dependent on his elders, but the third master is the least likely to do this. In the past, he was protected by Lao An, but now he An Ren has fallen ill because of the old lady, who has time to take care of him! He doesn’t care what time it is!"

Which one is this from?

Both Chen and Yu Tang were not able to comment. Chen followed Leizhi and said a few words to the hall where the banquet was set.

The hall was filled with hot air and there were many people sitting densely packed.

Yu Tang saw several familiar faces, who should be their neighbors.

Perhaps after leaving the mourning hall, the sadness passed quickly. Everyone was talking and laughing. The hall was noisy and lively, not like a funeral, but more like a wedding banquet.

Yu Tang couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Master Pei San's appearance just now and her grief when she received the news of her parents' death in her previous life.

Only true relatives can experience heart-wrenching sadness.

Lei Zhi arranged Chen and Yu Tang at the table at the back.

It was quieter there, with drafts and cooler. The people sitting at the table were all the female relatives of some squire families in Lin'an City. One of the little girls with a round face was about the same size as Yu Tang. When he saw her, he greeted her with a smile and wanted to sit with her.

Yu Tang thought for a long time before he recognized her as Ma Xiuniang, the daughter of Ma Xiucai's family in the city.

At this time in their previous life, they were playing pretty well. When she came out of the cabinet, Ma Xiuniang had already married a boy named Zhang. She specially asked someone to bring a pair of silver bracelets worth five taels of silver to her and packed them in the box. She also brought a message to her to prevent her from having any difficulties. You can find her.

It’s just that the Li family’s methods were so cruel later that she was afraid of hurting Ma Xiuniang and didn’t dare to contact her. She didn’t even have time to say thank you until she died.

Yu Tang's eyes were moist, he held Ma Xiuniang's hand and sat next to her.

Ms. Ma Xiucai said to Mrs. Chen: "Look at these two girls, they look like one person. It seems that we, the Queen Mother of Huajiang, want to separate them."

Ms. Chen couldn’t help laughing.

Ma Xiuniang asked Yu Tang: "Where have you been? I was looking for you just now?"

Yu Tang said: "I'm in the house! Where were you just now? I didn't see you either."

Ma Xiuniang muttered: "This is strange."

Yu Tang changed the subject and said, "When did you come? We haven't seen each other for a while. What have you been busy with?"

Ma Xiuniang talked about her own affairs.

Seeing Yu Tang's strict tone, Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting with Mrs. Ma Xiucai.

Yu Tang listened a little distractedly.

She is still thinking about Mr. Pei San.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that he was the legendary leader of the Pei family.

It was in vain that she was worried that he would be on the wrong side in this dispute, but who knew that he was not willing to take any losses?

In his previous life, he not only firmly occupied the position of the sect leader, but also bossed around those children of the Pei family who were officials outside.

Later, two more Jinshis came out of the Pei family, one was the eldest son of the eldest branch, and the other was the Zen master of another branch.

The eldest young master in the eldest branch was suppressed by him. I wonder if the young master Zen in the other branch was favored by him?

Speaking of which, he didn't care about her using the Pei family's reputation before, and she still owed him a favor.

She originally thought he was a young master of some kind, so she found a famous painting and antique to give as a thank you. But now that he is the third master of the Pei family, even if she finds famous paintings and antiques, he is afraid that he will not be interested in them.

Otherwise, just pretend this didn’t happen? Just pretend she doesn't know his identity?

Whenever Yu Tang thinks that the man in Tsing Yi is the third master of the Pei family who hides behind the Pei family in her memory, shrouding Lin'an City like a shadow, she feels as if she is facing an abyss, trembling with fear, feeling that she will face unknown dangers at any time.

Hey, the third master of the Pei family has so many things, I hope he has forgotten her and what she has done.

However, his expression was much gloomier than the last time she saw him. In the past, he gave her the impression of being cold and distant. But now, he gave her the impression of being violent and impetuous, like a tight string, using reason to suppress the unhappiness in her heart, but it could explode at any time because she couldn't hold it tight.

Is it caused by his father's death?

She was also sad when her parents died, but not like him. It was as if something had been taken away from him that made him quiet and calm. And she just felt pain.

The relationship between the third master of the Pei family and the old master of the Pei family must be very good.

Yu Tang sighed in his heart, and suddenly realized that Ma Xiuniang shook her hand~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "I was talking to you just now, didn't you hear? What are you thinking about?"

She came back to her senses immediately and said: "Sorry, I was thinking about other things just now. I'm listening to what you want to say to me!"

Ma Xiuniang did not pursue the matter and said, "I said there will be a temple fair at Zhaoming Temple in ten days. Do you want to go with me?"

She didn’t mention it, but Yu Tang had really forgotten about it.

In his previous life, the second son of the Li family, Li Jun, is said to have taken one look at her at the Zhaoming Temple fair and decided to marry her, life or death. Considering that he was not the son to inherit the family business, the Li family reluctantly agreed to the marriage and invited a matchmaker to propose marriage.

In this life, she never wants to have anything to do with the Li family.

"I won't go." Yu Tang said, "You know my mother's health is not good. I want to stay with my mother at home."

Ma Xiuniang nodded to express her understanding, but Mrs. Chen, who listened to a few words beside her, said: "It's rare that Xiuniang invites you to go out to play, so just go! There is Mrs. Chen at home."

In her previous life, her mother also persuaded her to go out and play in this way.

Yu Tang's eyes were slightly wet and he said: "I don't want to go. The weather is too hot. I'd better stay at home to avoid getting sunstroke."

After hearing this, Madam Ma Xiucai reprimanded Ma Xiuniang and said, "Look at my Ah Tang, you stay at home and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Mom!" Ma Xiuniang begged for a long time as if she was struck by lightning, but Ma Xiucai's wife did not agree.

Yu Tang was ashamed and said: "How about you come to my house to play! What fun is there in the temple fair? It's so hot that it almost melts in my hands when I eat ice cream. Come to my house and I'll let my father Go buy us ice and some melons from the well."

Ma Xiuniang immediately agreed happily and happily talked to her about the visit.
