Delicate Flower Chapter 316: Pick up people
The years are long in the mountains, and Pei Yan dazzles in front of our eyes from time to time. Unknowingly, it is the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Pei Laoan and Aunt Chen are preparing to worship their ancestors.
Taoist Priest Qingyuan, the master of Sanqing Temple located in the western suburbs of Lin'an City, personally came to invite Pei Lao'an people to participate in the "Zhongyuan Zhai Jiao" held in their temple.
Pei Lao'an readily agreed and explained to Yu Tang in a soft voice: "Our Pei family in Lin'an City has a lot of people who go out to serve as officials. Everyone can't help but think that we are following our lead, so we will You have to be careful in your words and deeds. You have to attend the incense festival in the temple and the Taoist temple." He asked her again, "Have you been to Sanqing Temple? Their vegetarian food is more delicious than that of Zhaoming Temple. You might as well come with me to see it this time."
Yu Tang received a lot of advice from Pei Laoan during this period, so he naturally agreed with a smile.
Pei Yan obviously prefers to go to Taoist temples. Not only does he encourage Yu Tang to try the vegetarian dishes at Sanqing Temple, but he also encourages her to stay at Sanqing Temple for one night: "They planted several epiphyllums over there, and they are blooming." Let’s try our luck during this season.”
Having said that, he arranged for people to go to Sanqing Temple early, and asked Sanqing Temple to find a way to let them see the epiphyllum bloom.
During this period of free time, Yu Tang followed Pei Yan to the greenhouse several times, and learned a little about rare flowers from various places. Hearing this, he smiled and asked him: "Is it Qionghua? It's the one that blooms in Qiongzhou. Grow white flowers?"
Pei Yan smiled and said: "It's not the same as Qionghua. Epiphyllum is much rarer than Qionghua."
He took a piece of rice paper and drew Qionghua and Epiphyllum, and told her the difference between the two.
While the two were chatting happily, A Ming ran in happily, shouting "Third Master" with joy on his face, and said: "Master Zhao and the others are back."
Zhao Zhen went to the capital with Pei Qi and the others, and is coming back at this time...
Yu Tang felt happy.
At least there is someone around Pei Yan who can use it.
She looked towards Pei Yan.
Pei Yan also looked very happy and said with a smile: "Let them come in quickly!"
A Ming went out happily.
Yu Tang was about to evade, but Pei Yan persuaded him to stay, saying: "I'm not an outsider, you recognize him."
This means treating her as the closest person!
Yu Tang blushed a little, but still tried to be as generous as possible and stood there waiting for Zhao Zhen and the others with Pei Yan.
After a while, Zhao Zhen and Pei Qi walked in dusty.
Seeing Yu Tang here, both of them looked surprised, but they quickly calmed down and saluted Pei Yan.
Pei Yan did not avoid Yu Tang and said directly: "You guys have worked hard along the way. If things are not urgent, go down and change clothes first, freshen up, take a rest, and then tell me about your trip to the capital. Not too late."
Zhao Zhen said nothing.
Pei Qi said: "Mr. Zhang left Pei Wu and Mr. Shu in the capital and asked us to come back first." After saying that, he took out two letters from his pocket and handed them to Pei Yan, and continued, "This is a letter from Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Shu. Mrs. Zhang said that you should go to the capital as soon as possible. Zhou Zhuangyuan is waiting for you in the capital."
Pei Yan did not rush to read the letter, but asked: "How is the Zhang family's affairs handled?"
Pei Qi said: "We all listened to Zhou Zhuangyuan and just helped the Zhang family with some menial work. Mr. Shu is helping with the accounting and ceremonial rooms."
Pei Yan nodded, and Pei Qi and Zhao Zhen retreated.
Pei Yan then sat on the Taishi chair behind the desk and began to read the letter.
Yu Tang feels that he is not doing well here.
Pei Yan smiled and said, "Is there anything in this house that I need to avoid you for?"
Yu Tang's face turned red after being told that, but her heart felt sweet.
She poured tea for Pei Yan herself.
Pei Yan read the two letters at a glance, excerpted the important ones and told Yu Tang: "The affairs of the Zhang family have far-reaching consequences. The mentor in the court wants to reorganize the layout. He probably wants brother Zijin to become an official. He is used to being carefree, and he must be in a very depressed mood. His mentor also knew that he was forcing him, and wanted me to help him. As for Shu Qing, he told me the causes and consequences of Tao An's move to Jiangxi in detail, and some people have to thank him. , some people should remember that you gave me an explanation! He stayed there because there was no one around Brother Zijin for the time being, so he helped as a staff member for a period of time."
But he did not explain whether he would go to the capital.
Pei Yan thought for a while and said, "Second brother is more suitable than me."
But Pei Xuan was not as trusted by Zhang Ying as Pei Yan.
Pei Yan said: "There is nothing we can do about this. Since I am in charge of the Pei family, I must take the Pei family as the master."
Yu Tang asked worriedly: "Would it be more troublesome if the second master is resurrected without the support of Mr. Zhang?"
Pei Yan smiled slightly and said: "My second brother also has his mentor and connections, but he is a low-key person. He has a strong eldest brother and a willful younger brother. He usually tolerates more. ."
In other words, without Zhang Ying, Pei Xuan would have the ability to start a recovery on his own.
Yu Tang didn't quite believe it and said, "It would be easier if Mr. Zhang helped me deal with it!"
"Not necessarily!" Pei Yan said, "The situation in the imperial court is very complicated now, and sometimes it may not be a good thing to get close to a big boss like my mentor who has teachers and students all over the world. On the contrary, a mentor like my second brother, I honestly became an academician of the Hanlin Academy, and if I really help my second brother, I may not be less powerful than my mentor."
As long as the Pei family doesn't get out of position in the end, it'll be fine.
Yu Tang had no choice but to remind Pei Yan again: "After all, the second emperor's son has the upper hand. It's better to interfere less with the third emperor's son."
Pei Yan thought of Yu Tang's dream again, and also thought of Peng Shiyi.
He wondered: "I wonder what he wants the Gao brothers and sisters to do? The shopkeeper named Gao resigned from his employer and went to Datong. Why does he support the shopkeeper?"
Over there in Datong, there is the relevant city.
In addition to the horse business, there is also the fur goods business. But neither Fujian nor Guangdong and Guangxi are the main distribution places for horses and fur goods.
Yu Tang hesitated and said: "Do the Peng family want to get involved in other businesses?"
Pei Yan did not take them too seriously, nor did he look down upon them. He said, "Let people keep an eye on them for a while longer? The boat will naturally straighten up when it reaches the bridge."
Yu Tang tried hard to think about the past life, but could not find any clues from the past life.
On the day of the Ghost Festival, she first went home to worship her ancestors, and then accompanied Pei Laoan to Sanqing Temple.
They listened to the Taoist priests recite the "Xuanmen Works Sutra" during the day, recited "Saving Food from the Flame Mouth of an Iron Pot" at night, and stayed one night at Sanqing Temple.
In the middle of the night, Qingyuan woke her up, and she and Pei Yan went to see the night-blooming night flowers in Sanqing Temple.
Sure enough, it is different from Qionghua.
The Qionghua flower is as big as a plate, surrounded by a circle of small flowers on the outside, and dotted with smaller flowers in the middle. There is only one epiphyllum, as big as the mouth of a bowl, as white as jade, a bit like a water lily.
Perhaps after seeing the water lilies raised by Pei Yan, Yu Tang is not as stunning as he imagined, but they are still very beautiful.
Pei Yan asked her: "Do you want to move two pots back to raise them?"
"No need!" Yu Tang shook his head. She preferred the water lilies raised by Pei Yan. The flowers were in the water and there were two lively goldfish at the bottom. The movement was appropriate and made people look at it full of vitality.
"What about raising two pots of viburnums?" Pei Yan asked her, and the two of them walked out of the flower bed for night flowers side by side.
Qionghua is easier to raise, and Yu Tang thinks it is feasible.
Pei Yan discussed with her what to plant in the greenhouse this year: "I definitely need to raise more plum blossoms, as well as golden oranges and bergamots. They will be used to clear offerings during the Spring Festival."
Think so far ahead.
Pei Yan disagreed and said: "This is the first year of our marriage, and eight or nine times out of ten we will have spring guests at home. There will definitely be many visitors by then. How can we not arrange the decoration at home properly?"
The two of them chatted and laughed, and walked around the Sanqing Temple before going back to their rooms.
Unexpectedly, when the Yu family woke up early the next morning, the Yu family sent A Tiao to take Yu Tang back, and said: "If there is something urgent, I will go to the mountains to accompany Lao An in two days."
Not only Pei Yan, but also Pei Lao'an was shocked and personally called A Tiao to question him.
A Tiao didn’t know either. He only said that it was suddenly arranged by Yu Wen last night. Yu Wen was still at home waiting for Yu Tang to return.
Pei Laoan's first thought was to wonder if Chen was ill.
If the Chen family has a bad relationship, and Yu Tang remains filial for another three years, what will happen to the marriage between the two families?
She immediately called Aunt Chen: "Go back with Miss Yu. If anything happens, come and report to me immediately. Don't let the Yu family make decisions on their own."
What Pei Laoan is most afraid of now is that the Yu family cannot hire a good doctor.
Aunt Chen is Pei Lao'an's confidant. Knowing what Pei Lao'an is worried about, she immediately said: "I will bring a few boys with me."
If something happens, it's better to call someone to report it.
Pei Lao'an nodded and said: "Bring Hu Xing with you, he is familiar with Imperial Physician Yang and Imperial Physician Wang. ~IndoMTL.com~ These two imperial physicians are the only ones in Hangzhou who are good.
Aunt Chen agreed and asked someone to invite Hu Xing. She also went to Yu Tang's side. She helped Yu Tang instruct the maids and servants around her to pack things. She also comforted Yu Tang: "I'm just going back for two days. If it's just a temporary If you can't go up the mountain, I'll just send someone to bring back the things you are used to. You don't need to bring so many things back."
This also saves time and allows you to leave earlier.
Yu Tang was also a little anxious. After listening to Aunt Chen's suggestion, she took only the things she usually used and went out.
As a result, I saw Pei Yan at the gate.
He pulled the horse and stood beside the mule cart, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'll go back with you. I also sent a nurse from home to rush over in advance. We'll know what happened later. ."
Yu Tang was determined, and Pei Yan personally helped him get into the mule cart.
Aunt Chen sighed as she looked at it.
I am afraid that this marriage cannot be broken no matter what.
I also pray in my heart that nothing happens to the Yu family, otherwise Pei Laoan will be so disappointed!
As Pei Yan expected, they met the guard sent by the Pei family at the gate of Lin'an City. The guard said: "Third Master, Master Yu didn't say what it was, but Master Yu also said it was. Good thing, please don't worry, Miss, and walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Everyone was relieved.
Yu Tang couldn't help complaining in her heart, asking her to go back as soon as possible, but she didn't say it clearly. She had been sweating just now!
Only when they returned to the Yu family did they realize that Jiang Chao had returned with a boat full of spices, gold and jewelry.
