Delicate Flower Chapter 217: Don’t leave
Yu Tang was shocked.
Pei Yan had been very cold in the past, but unlike now, his eyes were cold, and he looked at Miss Xu like a hunter looking at his prey, with a faint murderous intent.
Miss Xu was probably very frightened.
Yu Tang noticed that she quietly took two steps back and grabbed the corner of her clothes.
She looked towards Miss Xu.
Miss Xu didn't show any signs of it on her face, and she was talking to Pei Yan with a smile: "Which restaurant in Hangzhou makes the best sweet and sour fish and Dongpo pork? I haven't been there yet. What about Hangzhou? Sister Yu, why don’t we join in the fun, what do you think?”
Yu Tang doesn’t know how this matter got involved with her, but if Miss Xu is interested, she is willing to be the host. But she felt that Pei Yan's mood was not right, so she glanced at Pei Yan before answering Miss Xu's question.
She found that Pei Yan's eyes were dark and dark, just like the seemingly calm sea surface, which was prevented from breaking through the waves by the waves at the bottom of the sea. But it was only being suppressed. If a little more force was used, the waves would probably sweep out, leaving people in the turbulent waves without knowing whether to live or die.
Yu Tang was shocked.
Only then did I realize that what Miss Xu just said was referring to something, and what she was referring to angered Pei Yan.
Of course she wants to side with Pei Yan.
Although Miss Xu is kind, Pei Yan is kind to her.
She can still distinguish this clearly.
Yu Tang swallowed the words that were on his lips, smiled and changed his words: "When you go to Hangzhou, do you want to eat sweet and sour fish and Dongpo meat, or do you want to see the scenery of Hangzhou city? If it's the former, we will go to Lin'an There are also people who make sweet and sour fish and Dongpo pork. I will be a host and treat you to sweet and sour fish and Dongpo pork. If what you want to see most is the scenery of Hangzhou City, you might as well discuss it with Mrs. Yang San. , set a time, and my mother and I will accompany you there. My mother has not been out for a few days, and the spring weather is beautiful. I want to go to Hangzhou to have fun and buy some new styles of clothes."
Her voice became clearer and brighter, gentle and polite, which somehow diluted the tense tit-for-tat confrontation just now. Miss Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Pei Yan and said to Yu Tang: "Then it's settled. I'll make an appointment with you after Mrs. Yang San and I have decided on the itinerary."
Yu Tang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she didn't know why Pei Yan's expression suddenly relaxed after hearing her words, he was very good at seizing opportunities. Hearing what Miss Xu said, she not only smiled and nodded "Okay" immediately, but also blessed Zhou Zijin and said: "When did you come to Lin'an? Last time in Hangzhou City, thank you and the Third Master for your help. What was my dad talking about at home a few days ago? If he knew that you were here this time, he would definitely rush to Zhaoming Temple in advance. I will send someone to tell my dad and ask him to treat you to a good taste. Try Lin'an's fine wine."
Zhou Zijin laughed loudly, looked at Yu Tang a few times, and said to Pei Yan, "We haven't seen each other in the past two years. The little girl has grown into a big girl. The older she gets, the prettier she is." Then he encouraged her, "You give me You painted a small portrait, right? Keep it nice. You can hang it in your house in the future and leave it to your descendants."
Yu Tang couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this.
Pei Yan looked unhappy and said: "Are you painting a portrait?! Leave it to your descendants. Stop messing around here. Miss Yu doesn't paint portraits, let alone you."
Zhou Zijin was greatly shocked and said: "What do you mean? The portrait I painted is worth a thousand gold, and you still dare to despise it."
Pei Yan said impatiently: "It's because the portrait you painted is worth a thousand dollars, so I don't think you are suitable to paint for Miss Yu. If someone knows that Miss Yu's portrait was painted by you, how about stealing the painting for money?" What to do? Doesn’t Miss Yu’s little portrait have to fall into the hands of others? To be collected and caressed by others?"
Yu Tang shuddered when he heard this, and said without waiting for Zhou Zijin to say: "Thank you very much, Zhou Zhuangyuan. I have an ordinary appearance, and I dare not trouble Zhou Zhuangyuan to write. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will ask Zhou Zhuangyuan to paint small paintings for my family." It looks like it’s ready.”
You can ask him to draw a picture for her father.
Zhou Zijin was very sorry, but did not mention it again.
Miss Xu told Zhou Zijin about his own portrait: "Of course no one can compare with Zhou Zhuangyuan in terms of painting portraits. Do you have your own portrait? If you can take advantage of this opportunity, It would be great if I had the opportunity to bring it back to the capital. It’s too difficult for you to find you.”
Zhou Zijin said with a smile: "I originally planned to go to the capital in a few days. Please tell Mingyuan not to bother. I will go to him then. Ask him to prepare Lihua Bai for me. I want to go with him. He drank three glasses of wine."
Miss Xu nodded repeatedly and said: "It just so happens that you can help us see how our books are compiled."
"That's natural." Zhou Zijin agreed.
Miss Xu took Yu Tang to leave.
Neither Pei Yan nor Zhou Zijin said anything.
Miss Xu dragged Yu Tang, as if there were bandits chasing behind her, and ran back to the wing where she was resting. She couldn't wait to pour herself a cup of tea and took two sips. With a look of shock, he pulled Yu Tang to sit down at the round table in the middle of the wing, and complained: "Why does Pei Xiaguang have such a personality? No wonder everyone only praises him for being brave and resourceful and not caring about anything else. A person like him, Still want to be an official? I think he might not be able to stay in Liubu anymore after he becomes an official."
Yu Tang doesn't like others attacking Pei Yan like this.
She said: "The third master is a very good man and has brought great benefits to our country. We are all very grateful to him."
Miss Xu smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm not targeting Pei Xiaguang, he really scared me. I didn't expect him to be so hard to talk to." At this point, she felt a little depressed. He sighed and said, "No wonder others say that seeing is better than hearing. I have seen Pei Xiaguang. Don't expect me to say a kind word for him again. If I meet him again in the future, I will take a detour!"
A look of hatred.
Yu Tang wanted to defend Pei Yan and said, "What did you mean just now? What do sweet and sour fish and Dongpo meat mean?"
Miss Xu hesitated to speak.
Yu Tang said: "Don't fool me. Sweet and sour fish and Dongpo meat are available in Hangzhou and Suzhou. Maybe you are alluding to Suzhou. Besides, you also mentioned Gaoyou's salted duck eggs. Gu Chaoyang You came to Jiangnan as a censor to investigate the river course in Gaoyou. Are you implying that Gu Chaoyang wanted to investigate Gaoyou on the surface, but who actually committed something wrong in Suzhou? But you made an excuse to go to the prefect of Yin Does Magistrate Yin know about this matter? Or does this matter have something to do with Magistrate Yin? "
Miss Xu looked at Yu Tang with admiration.
She thought for a while and asked Ah Fu and Shuang Tao to guard the door: "Don't let anyone get close to you."
The two looked at each other, but they walked out of the door obediently, and carefully closed the door for them.
Miss Xu then said to Yu Tang: "Some people say that the third prince is making money in the south of the Yangtze River. What can be wrong with the Gaoyou river? Our second brother Yin majored in the Ministry of Industry at the time. They actually wanted to investigate Su Officials from Hangzhou and Hangzhou. And this time not only the imperial censor was sent out by the Procuratorate, but also eunuchs from the palace were sent. Gu Chaoyang and the others were Ming, and the eunuchs Si Li were secret." She frowned. Frowning, "I just don't know who the Supervisor of Ceremonies sent? I counted the days and Gu Chaoyang has already arrived in Lin'an. The Supervisor of Ceremonies should also have arrived in Hangzhou or Suzhou long ago."
Yu Tang was dumbfounded and asked stupidly: "What does this have to do with the Pei family? Their eldest man, who was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has died of illness, and the second and third masters are also at home."
"Why are you so smart and confused at one moment?" Miss Xu glanced at her and lowered her voice and said, "The Pei family is very, very rich. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the richest man in Jiangnan, but the Pei family has always been low-key. If the third prince wants to make money in Jiangnan, then the Pei family will definitely bear the brunt. If not starting from the Pei family, where to start?"
As she spoke, her expression was shaken, and she whispered to Yu Tang: "Do you think this lecture is a pretense? Otherwise, why would several famous wealthy families from Jiangnan have come? Even those from as far away as Fujian The Peng family and the Tao family from Guangzhou are also here." At this point, she was frightened by herself, her face turned pale, and her body was so soft that it seemed like there were no bones. She covered her chest and said, "We will not be implicated. Right? Since they are all involved, how can they still get together? Aren't they afraid of being caught in a trap? No, no, I have to send a message to Yin Ming."
Miss Xu was so anxious that she ran around: "No, the capital is too far away. I have to send a message to the second brother of the Yin family first and let him take charge of the overall situation. But he can't come over. Once he comes over, he will not be involved in this matter."
Yutang is calmer than her.
Mainly because Yu Tang thought about his previous life, the Pei family was safe and sound until the second prince ascended the throne and became the imperial capital.
The Pei family either has nothing to do with this matter or they have a way to get out.
But in the previous life, there was no such thing as Pei Lao'an hosting a lecture meeting.
The time Gu Xi presented incense to Zhaoming Temple was five years later. Li Duan's father Li Yi returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors. The Li family hosted an Obon Festival in July and a half.
So this life is very different from the previous life. ~IndoMTL.com~ Although she was unsure, she was not as panicked as Miss Xu.
"Listen to me." She held Miss Xu's hand tightly and said, "If you have such thoughts, you might as well make it clear to Master Pei San directly. It is not appropriate for Magistrate Yin to come over. We know that Yu It’s not good to not tell the Pei family if it’s disadvantageous.”
Since Miss Xu can know such a secret thing, she can definitely help the Pei family.
Besides, she has already moved into Zhaoming Temple and it is too late to escape.
How about we all work together to create a new situation.
Ms. Xu obviously thought of this too.
She walked around the room, unable to make up her mind.
Yu Tang knew that whoever was faster would take the initiative, so she simply gave Miss Xu an idea: "How about hurrying up and sending a letter to Magistrate Yin, asking him to help come up with an idea, but don't come here yet."
Miss Xu thought for a while, stamped her feet, and agreed. As she sat down and wrote a letter to Magistrate Yin, she regretted: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have followed Mrs. Yang's third wife to Zhaoming Temple. Yin Mingyuan talks hesitantly, I When it came to Jiangnan, he didn’t object to it in any way. He just told Mrs. Yang San to look at me and mind my own business. He clearly knew something. I hate him being like this the most! I couldn’t explain it clearly, how could I know what it was? It’s something!”
Yu Tang said: "Didn't you say that Mr. Yin asked you to come to Jiangnan to play?"
Miss Xu hesitated: "I want to come over to play, but he didn't express any objection!"
Yu Tang was speechless.
