Delicate Flower Chapter 13: Pei family

What mother-in-law doesn’t like to hear people praise her uncle!

Aunt Ji became more enthusiastic towards them, she let down her guard, and talked to them about the Pei family: "There are many things in the family. There are three general managers and seven stewards. The general manager is in charge of all the big and small things in the family. The second steward is in charge of the general affairs and human relations in the mansion, and the third steward is in charge of the accounting room and outside shopkeepers in the mansion. Among the seven stewards, the chief steward follows the chief steward; the second steward and the third steward follow the second steward; and the other four stewards follow the second steward. Following the three stewards, the seventh steward is responsible for the affairs of the inner house. For example, I am the seventh steward.

"As for shopkeeper Tong, their ancestors served their ancestors. Later, the Pei family was able to take root in Lin'an, and their family made great contributions. The ancestors released the Tong family's registration before returning to the west on a crane. But The ancestors of the Tong family were repaying their kindness. Although they were released, they never left. They also helped manage the **** shop. They were particularly dignified and different from other servants." He spoke with a hint of emotion. Proud and proud.

As long as you live in Lin'an Mansion, you will inevitably have to deal with the Pei family more or less.

Today, the Yu family has a deeper relationship with the Pei family, whether it is re-building the shop or because of the painting.

In the previous life, the third master of the Pei family was the sect leader.

Yu Tang therefore does not have many speculations about this matter like Yu Wen or Chen.

But Mr. Pei’s funeral revealed too much information.

For example, if the merchants in Lin'an City have something to do, they are looking for the general manager; Old Mrs. Pei died of illness, and the third general manager who was supposed to be in charge of the outside business was in charge of the funeral of Old Mrs. Pei; he should step forward at this time to help with the funeral. The second manager doesn’t know what he’s doing?

How did the third master of the Pei family become the sect leader?

What happened during this period?

Are the three general managers wholeheartedly serving Mr. Pei San, or do they have their own agendas?

Who is the third master of the Pei family? Who is on the side of the long room?

Even though Yu Tang married into the Li family in her previous life, she didn't know much about the Pei family because she was trapped in the back house.

In my previous life, I never heard anyone criticizing the Third Master.

It seemed that as soon as he appeared in the Pei family, he covered the sky with one hand and made the final decision. The whole family obeyed, and no one dared to have any objections.

She didn't want the Yu family to get involved in the Pei family's incident.

There was also the man in green clothes she met at the **** shop. Judging from his age, he should not be the first of the two young masters. So what is his relationship with the Pei family?

Could he be the young master of the other two teams?

Whose side is he on at this time?

Does he know that the third master of the Pei family will ultimately win this war?

Looking at the character of the third master of the Pei family from the events in his previous life, after becoming the head of the Pei family, eight or nine times out of ten, he will be a character who will prosper if he obeys me, and will perish if he goes against me.

I don’t know if the man in green will avoid his edge because of this.

Looking like that, he is also unruly...

Yu Tang was in a mess. She couldn't figure out whether she wanted the Yu family to avoid trouble or wanted to know the situation of the man in green... But she couldn't stop paying attention to the Pei family.

Yu Tang said: "Then the third general manager is very busy! He has to take care of both external affairs and internal affairs. Don't the first and second general managers also help?"

Aunt Ji was shocked to realize that she had made a mistake, but Yu Tang looked ignorant of the world. She responded vaguely, "The first manager and the second manager have other matters," and then changed the subject, saying: "I Seeing that the body of the scholar lady is still very weak, if you plan to go back after worshiping the old man and having a vegetarian meal in our house, I will ask someone to take you to the veranda behind the side hall to have a rest. The sun is too hot at noon. Yes, please be careful of heatstroke."

Afraid of arousing Aunt Ji’s suspicion, Yu Tang had to stop for now.

Ms. Chen thanked Aunt Ji and talked about the kindness that the old man of the Pei family had shown her.

Yu Tang listened and observed the surroundings.

She found that along the way, she really didn’t see a single flower of a different color.

It can be seen that the third master has issued orders and prohibitions at this time, and no one dares to disobey them.

Yu Tang was even more worried.

I just don’t know how the third master of the Pei family came to power?

Did you use Mr. Pei’s will to force everyone to submit? Or had Mr. Pei San already blackmailed the emperor to order the princes before the rumors spread about Lu Xin and others?

She was absent-minded. When she heard the noise, she found that she and her mother had followed Aunt Ji into a yard where the cries were loud. Many neighbors like them were crying here. The Sanskrit chants in the water and land monasteries on both sides were long and rhythmic. The three-legged copper tripod, which was taller than a person, was like a forest of incense sticks. White smoke curled up. If it weren't for the white flags hanging everywhere, she almost thought she had entered a temple.

Ms. Chen choked and coughed several times.

Aunt Ji said: "Please come with me!"

Leading them through many crying women into the side hall, they kowtowed and offered incense to the portrait of Mr. Pei in the middle hall.

When he stood up, Yu Tang looked at the portrait of Mr. Pei seriously.

Three long beards, silkworm eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a wide forehead and plump cheeks. He was wearing a round-necked blouse with green and gold embroidery and five bats. He smiled and looked very kind.

I don’t know who painted this painting, but the meticulous painting is very impressive. Not only the face is lifelike, but all the subtle expressions are drawn. Even if Yu Tang doesn't know much about painting, he can still feel the painter's skill.

I wonder who drew it?

When Mr. Pei painted this portrait, did he think that after his death, the Pei family would fight for the patriarch?

It can be seen that things are impermanent.

Yu Tang suddenly felt a bit sad while crying.

Her eyes were moist and she shed tears.

Ms. Chen couldn’t help crying.

Yu Tang and Aunt Ji helped Chen out of the side hall.

Aunt Ji thought for a while, called a maid named "Lei Zhi", and told her: "This is the wife and eldest daughter of Yu Xiucai's family. You take the wife and eldest daughter to the back room to rest first. ." Then he said to Mrs. Chen, "I have some errands outside, so I won't accompany you. I'll come see you later."

The verandah room was changed to a wing room, which was obviously Aunt Ji taking care of them.

Ms. Chen and Yu Tang hurriedly thanked her and said, "We can rest in the veranda."

Aunt Ji whispered: "It's okay! That wing was originally a guest room for the female family members of the inner house. There are no arrangements to entertain guests. I'll give you a day to rest. It doesn't matter."

This is also Aunt Ji’s good intention.

The mother and daughter thanked her again and again. Seeing that Aunt Ji was sincere and that a servant girl came to ask Aunt Ji for instructions so as not to waste her time, they gratefully agreed and followed the tired branch up to the west. cloister.

"How could such a good person leave immediately after saying he was going to leave?!" Mrs. Chen was still immersed in sadness, wiping her tears with a handkerchief and murmuring.

Yu Tang comforted his mother with a few words and looked up to find that they followed Leizhi in a swaying way to a secluded small courtyard.

The green bamboo stream and Banqiao spiritual stones in the courtyard are very delicately arranged, and the faint sound of crying spirits can be heard, making the small courtyard even more tranquil.

Lei Zhi pushed open the door of the west wing, invited Mrs. Chen and Yu Tang in, and whispered: "Madam of the Yu family, please rest here first, and I will treat you to lunch." After that, , personally poured tea for the two of them.

Yu Tang looked at the all-black lacquer furniture in this wing, the sky blue curtains, and the blue and white porcelain vases with two bowl-sized white late magnolias, one tall and one short. The decoration was clean and elegant, neat and comfortable.

The verandah room was replaced with a wing room. She guessed that this should be a resting place for the daughters of relatives and old friends of the Pei family. Aunt Ji probably saw that her father was a scholar and her mother was frail and spoke congenially, so she opened a back door. , arranged their mother and daughter here.

Ms. Chen took the tea and thanked Lei Zhi warmly.

Yu Tang thought that Aunt Ji could ask Lai Zhi to do something, and that Lai Zhi must have a good relationship with Aunt Ji. She took the tea from Lai Zhi, thanked her, "Sorry for bothering you, Sister Lai Zhi," and said, "We can Resting here is all thanks to Aunt Ji and Sister Leizhi. After a few days, Aunt Ji and Sister Leizhi are no longer busy, and we will come back to say thank you."

Lei Zhi didn’t expect Yu Xiucai’s mother and daughter to be so polite to her, so she couldn’t help but look at Yu Tang a few more times.

Yu Tang is dressed in ordinary clothes, of medium height, with soft eyebrows and eyes, a gentle temperament, and delicate skin that looks like frost and snow, like condensed fat.

Lei Zhi was surprised.

Miss Yu's family turned out to be as beautiful as the wives and ladies of the Pei family.

Yu Tang used to be a generous person, but later on he encountered some unbelievable experiences, and became even more calm and calm in his behavior, neither humble nor overbearing.

She let Lai Zhi watch.

Lai Zhi was a little embarrassed, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Miss Yu, you're welcome. I will definitely bring your message."

"Aunt Ji and Miss Leizhi are both interested!" Ms. Chen exchanged a few words with Leizhi and personally sent Leizhi out. Then she slumped down on the Arhat bed in the room with a tired look on her face.

Yu Tang thought that this was the back door opened by Aunt Ji for them, and it would be bad if people found out. Then he closed the window lattice facing the yard and opened the window lattice facing outside. And even if it is open, I don't dare to open it all the way, half open and half covered. ~IndoMTL.com~ Then he went to twist a handkerchief for his mother to wipe her sweat, and said, "Mom, please take a break first. Lei Zhi will call us during lunch."

Ms. Chen nodded, feeling regretful and said: "If it weren't for my weak body, we wouldn't have to ask for a vegetarian meal at the Pei family. We came to offer incense to Mrs. Pei, but we asked for a meal from their family. A meal."

Yu Tang comforted his mother: "The Pei family is a family of bells and whistles, and they won't care about one or two meals."

Seeing the sweat on Yu Tang's forehead, Mrs. Chen felt distressed and said, "Don't force yourself. If you feel hot, find a place to rest and cool down. Don't come to offer incense to Mrs. Pei while giving you It’s hot.”

"Got it!" Yu Tang responded, bringing a small wooden spoon over to help Chen's legs.

Ms. Chen was surprised and delighted, and said, "Oh! This is amazing. I have never been so lucky as a daughter!"

Yes!

In the past, she was ignorant and did not know how to cherish.

Now I know how precious this kind of gathering is.

Yu Tang's eyes were astringent, and he revealed the matter coquettishly, sitting next to Chen's legs and squeezing her legs.

While enjoying her daughter's filial piety, Mrs. Chen chatted with her: "People say that lucky people are born in June, and unlucky people die in June... Mr. Pei has done so many good things... Fortunately, there are two The master is at home, and his son was with him when he left. But it’s not good, the white-haired man is sending the black-haired man, and the eldest master is gone..."

Yu Tang listened in one ear and out the other, thinking about the mountain teahouses, street docks and wharfs with "Pei" written all over them. He thought with emotion: Is it because the Pei family is doing small kindness?

There was a sudden noise outside.

Chen and Yu Tang were both stunned.

Yu Tang thought of Aunt Ji's words and whispered to Mrs. Chen: "Sit down first and I'll go take a look!"
