Delicate Flower Chapter 308: Xiao Zao
Of course it was not Pei Yan who spread the news.
Although he dug a hole for Gu Chang to jump over, he stopped paying attention after Gu Chang jumped over.
It was actually Gu Xi who spread the news.
Because her father was greedy for her mother's dowry, she had been criticized by the elders in the clan since she was a child. She had already had enough.
This time, her father even acted rogue for her dowry.
She had given up on her father a long time ago, so of course she was not particularly sad. But when her brother's marriage to the Yin family was finalized, her father was angry that his brother had rejected him, so he tried to repeat his old plan. Taking advantage of his brother's marriage to the Yin family, he wanted to misappropriate the Yin family's dowry to give her face. After discovering the agreement between her brother and the Yin family, he cursed their dead mother in the room...
Although the result of doing this was to hurt the enemy a thousand times and damage herself eight hundred, she was so happy that she actually felt that even if there were any consequences, she would be willing to bear them. However, the maid He Xiang beside her was very worried and said: "What if it's my uncle's house..."
Gu Xi curled her lips and said: "Do you think the Pei family is a nouveau riche like the Li family? The Pei family cares about face. Even if I have been disowned because of my bad morals, people like them will still hide it. I will never say anything wrong to me in front of outsiders."
Isn’t this just a way for a gentleman to bully others?
He Xiang was stunned.
Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "So, no matter what kind of family you marry, you must keep your eyes open."
He Xiang lowered his head and said nothing.
On Yutang's side, he finally sent away the two ladies of the Pei family, and checked two more account books, and it was time to turn on the lamp.
Shuangtao felt sorry for her, so he and Qingyuan cooked ginseng and hen soup for her.
While Yu Tang was drinking soup, Miss Yang and Miss Pei came over and brought her some snacks from the capital. Yu Tang naturally wanted to treat them to soup. The two of them were a little surprised and declined politely. Only then did Yu Tang know that Miss Yang and the others were going to visit the Ku'an Temple not far away tomorrow and had asked her to go with them.
She glanced at the pile of account books on the desk with some embarrassment, and could only politely refuse.
The two of them did not force themselves. They chatted with Yu Tang for a few words about the Buddhist incense in Kuan Temple, then stood up and left.
Yu Tang felt that the two of them came not only to invite her to Ku'an Temple, otherwise Miss Pei Si and Miss Pei Wu would ask her when they came over in the afternoon.
She couldn't help but ask Qingyuan: "Do you know what they are here for?"
Qingyuan responded with a smile, and soon found out the news: "Miss Yang is going to visit me tomorrow, and it will be at Ku'an Temple. I'm afraid I want to invite the young lady to go with her. There are more people, this matter It’s not so eye-catching.”
Yu Tang asked with interest the person Miss Yang was going to marry.
Qing Yuan is worthy of being the maid in Pei Yan's house. She knows how to take one step at a time and understand all the questions that Yu Tang may ask. This way, she will not be unable to answer Yu Tang's questions.
This may be the difference between an ordinary maid and a first-class maid.
"My surname is Yan. He is said to be a scholar, but his family is very wealthy." Qingyuan said slowly, "Heyi Lao'an originally came out of the fifth server. Because he was selected as a scholar, he probably wanted to be in the official career. After making some achievements, he found a way to establish a relationship with Yi Lao'an and became very close to Yi Lao'an's natal family. The reason why the Yang family agreed to the Yan family's marriage this time was because of the face of Mr. Yi. The Yang family So I entrusted this meeting to Yi Lao'an people. Yi Lao'an people didn't like to be matchmakers, so when they heard that we Lao'an people were coming, they entrusted it to us Lao'an people again. This is how we got the matchmaking meeting in Ku'an Temple. Look."
Yu Tang nodded.
Qingyuan smiled and reminded her: "If everything goes well tomorrow, Miss Yang will return to Beijing in two days. Do you want to bring something to Miss Xu?"
Yu Tang did not expect that Miss Yang and Miss Xu had a good relationship.
Qingyuan smiled and said: "Miss Yang and Miss Xu can only be regarded as acquaintances. However, the Yang family and our Pei family will be considered in-laws in the future. I think Miss Yang will definitely help the in-laws. Very willing."
Yu Tang also missed Miss Xu a little. She excitedly discussed with Qing Yuan what to give to Miss Xu.
Miss Yang and Miss Pei Er came out of Yutang's yard and couldn't help but look back at the red-painted Ruyi door, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the cook in Miss Yu's yard is so good at cooking. That chicken soup It was so thick and fresh that I almost bit my tongue when I drank it. The fruit that was served was also very sweet, not to mention that it was made into a pattern that made me happy. It was made by someone brought by Miss Yu, or Your family made it."
The Pei family's villa is very large, and several guest courtyards have small kitchens.
Miss Yang’s yard is also taken care of, but the mother-in-law who needs a stove has to tell the Pei family’s steward. But in this case, it is necessary to take care of it up and down. She only lived here for a few days. Although the Yang family was not short of money, she just didn't want to be so conspicuous.
Miss Pei Er also noticed it just now, but her relationship with Yu Tang is average, and she doesn’t know much about Yu Tang. Miss Yang is Mr. Yang’s stepsister, and their relationship is not particularly good. She is afraid that she Being too nice to Miss Yang would make Young Master Yang unhappy, so he answered a little perfunctorily: "She should have brought the people herself, right? This kind of craftsmanship is even in our family, and it is also for the people who serve several mistresses. There is no such person in our house."
Miss Yang didn’t quite believe it.
Since she came to Pei Mansion as a guest, she would not be completely unprepared.
She also asked about Yu Tang.
The Yu family is not a family with such abilities.
The next day, Miss Yang, who was wandering around Ku'an Temple waiting for someone, talked about the incident again and invited several ladies from the Pei family: "Let's go back and ask for a bowl of chicken soup from Miss Yu? ”
The fourth lady listened and clapped her hands and praised her, and asked the fifth lady in confusion: "Why did my great-aunt think of asking Sister Yu to help her read the account books? So that Sister Yu can't even play with us?"
Miss Wu made a random guess: "Sister Yu should be good at arithmetic. Isn't their family a businessman? Business people seem to be very good at arithmetic."
The fourth lady nodded as she listened.
The third lady looked dumbfounded. She took the hands of the fourth and fifth ladies and said, "Stop talking nonsense. The sun is really bright today. Let's go to the pavilion in front to have a rest."
The fourth and fifth ladies were diverted and ran away with smiles.
Miss Yang was thoughtful.
The sun is really bright today.
Yu Tang was sitting in the room, and Qingyuan specially asked two little maids to help her fan herself. She started to sweat a little in her vest after thinking abacus for a while, which made her very uncomfortable.
She simply stood up, opened the window and blew in the air.
Pei Yan walked in.
He wore a moon-white plain fine sermon robe, with only a green bamboo hairpin on his head. His face was white and sweatless, making people feel refreshed just by looking at it.
As I got closer, there was a faint and unknown elegant fragrance on my body, giving people a sense of cleanliness.
How can someone be so clean?
Yu Tang was thinking jealously when he saw Pei Yan raised the bamboo basket in his hand and said, "Would you like to go fishing together?"
"Huh?!" Yu Tang opened his eyes wide.
Two days ago, Pei Laoan told them not to get close to the river, fearing that they would fall into the river without knowing the depth.
Pei Yan smiled lowly in her ear, tempting her: "Don't be afraid, I can swim!"
That low voice seemed to have a hook, tugging at her heartstrings.
It took Yu Tang a while to realize what he had said, and he said hesitantly: "Can it be done?"
"What can't you do?" Pei Yan smiled slyly at her, "You have read most of these account books."
Yu Tang looked at the bright sun outside, suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "It's already so hot before the Dragon Boat Festival. Will it be extra hot this summer, will there be a drought or something? ”
At this time in her previous life, when she had just married into the Li family, Mrs. Lin suddenly turned against her. She felt uncomfortable in various ways. She was busy dealing with the personnel affairs of the Li family every day, and paid very little attention to the outside world. She vaguely remembered that there were There was a severe drought in the county and prefecture, and many people came to Lin'an to escape the famine.
The Pei family has a lot of land, and some farms may suffer.
Pei Yan laughed when he heard this and said: "I didn't expect you to still watch the sky. Yes, this year the Purple Pleiades star moved westward, the main fire, and there should be disaster prevention in the west. I will let the head of the farm pay attention. ”
Yu Tang didn’t understand a single word and said awkwardly: “I was just talking casually.”
"It shows that your intuition is quite good." Pei Yan continued to praise her, thrust the bamboo basket into her hand, and said, "Take it, it will be up to you later."
Yu Tang only saw people fishing a few times when she was a child and went out with Yu Wen. And in those paintings and calligraphy, she saw that the bamboo basket was quite new and exuded the fragrance of green bamboo. She couldn't help but hug it in her arms. Said: "Why do you want to see mine? Do we want to use this bamboo basket to catch fish? I can't!"
She didn't want to either.
The people in the paintings holding bamboo baskets are all standing barefoot in the stream.
The picture and reality are two different things.
The creek in the painting is clear and clean. In reality, there are many aquatic plants or small fish and insects that she does not recognize. She has been afraid of these things since she was a child.
Pei Yan looked at her face that said "I won't do it" and found it particularly interesting. He burst out laughing. He summoned a bamboo hat from nowhere and covered her head, saying: "I am responsible for fishing and you are responsible for carrying the fish. Is this fair? How many fish we can have ~IndoMTL.com~ depends on how many you can carry back!"
But she didn't want to mention the fish.
The fish was fishy and sticky.
Isn’t he very clean? Why don't you talk about it now?
Yu Tang stood behind Pei Yan aggrievedly, racking his brains to think of a way to escape.
But until they walked along the tree-shaded corridor to a pavilion by a small river, she didn't think of a way to escape, but Pei Yan almost laughed in her heart.
He always thought Yu Tang was interesting, not like ordinary girls, but when he really got in touch with her, he realized that this little girl was even more interesting than he knew.
The way he dared to be angry but dared not speak out, with a bulging face but eyes that kept wandering, was enough to make him laugh for half a year.
"Just here!" He pretended to have a straight face and said calmly, "There are more mosquitoes here, and there must be a lot of fish!"
Then he saw Yu Tang glare at him quietly and touch his arm in fear.
It’s really interesting!
Pei Yan ordered A Ming who followed him: "Take out the earthworms and hang them on the hook."
