Delicate Flower Chapter 387: Defense


What this grandma said is correct.

Although the Song family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, in recent years, there has been no official of the third rank or above, and there are no outstanding scholars. In the eyes of a top official family like Xu Mansion, Even if you are down and out, you don’t have to worry about making friends for the time being. In addition, the Song Mansion was in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were quite far away from each other. The fourth wife of Song Dynasty came to the capital and did not take the initiative to visit Xu Xuan. The Yin Mansion could just say "I didn't know she came to the capital" to fool her.

It's not an unforgivable mistake.

But when Yu Tang specifically asked about it at this time, Xu Xuan couldn't help but give her an explanation.

Yu Tang understood it as soon as he heard it.

It's not that Mrs. Song Si didn't want to take the initiative to visit the Xu family, but because her status was not qualified enough, she sent greetings to other people's homes as soon as she came to the capital. She probably didn't come to visit Xu Xuan because of this, otherwise the Yin family wouldn't be so rude.

If she cares about it now, the nun in charge will definitely be held accountable.

This is not good.

Yu Tang hurriedly said to Xu Xuan: "Mrs. Song Si came to visit your home two days ago. I thought she would come to your house for a wedding banquet."

Xu Xuan knew that Yu Tang did not understand some social conventions in the capital, and today was a good day for her eldest son. After hearing what Yu Tang said, she stopped questioning the nanny in charge and waved her away. , said: "Why did Mrs. Song Si suddenly come to the capital? Is she looking for you? Is there anything I need your help with?"

Yu Tang thought for a while and felt that if there was someone around her who she could trust completely and could tell her true feelings, Xu Xuan would be the one, so she did not hide it and told Miss Song Qi that Mrs. Song Si wanted to tell her. Yu Song's family told Xu Xuan about the favorable marriage.

Xu Xuan curled her lips when she heard this and said: "This is really in line with the old saying, if you are close to red, you will be red, if you are close to ink, you will be black. If they want to learn martial arts, they must be willing to spend so much money for their daughter. Just do it as a dowry!"

But the Song family is better than the Wu family, right?

The Song family is a family of scholars after all.

Yu Tang smiled and said nothing, pulling Xu Xuan to see the child.

Xu Xuan took her to the Nuan Pavilion, which was specially cleaned up for fear of disturbing the children.

Yu Tang was very curious, holding the child and watching it non-stop.

Xu Xuan sat on the concubine's couch next to her with a smile and said, "If you like it, just give birth to one yourself!"

Yu Tang was immediately a little discouraged. Seeing that the child's eyelids were drooped, as if he wanted to sleep, he handed the child back to the wet nurse, sat down next to Xu Xuan, and said sadly: "I want to too! But there is no way! I wanted to see a doctor, but Xia Guang refused. He said that there was a woman who had been infertile for three years, so I was just making a fool of myself. I thought, should I wait until I have no children in three years before I go see a doctor? ? At that time, I didn’t know whether I was in the capital or not. The doctors in the capital were better, right? You could also hire an imperial doctor."

She told Xu Xuan that Pei Yan wanted to take her to climb Mount Tai.

Xu Xuan laughed and said: "Since Pei Xiaguang is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Maybe Pei Xiaguang thinks that it is good for you not to have a child, and you and your wife can go around and have a look. When you have a child, just worry about it, no It’s inconvenient to just throw it away and take it with you.” Then she talked about herself, “I used to think that if I give birth to a child, I’ll have a child. There are so many people at home watching, and I have to do it. I won’t know until the child is born. No one can worry about carrying it, not even my mother. I can't see it at a glance, and I feel empty in my heart, as if something is missing. It's not what I thought before..."

The two of them talked among themselves until the nanny in charge came in and said that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang were coming and Xu Xuan was going to entertain guests, so they came out of the greenhouse.

In this way, Xu Xuan comforted her: "Don't worry about the marriage between the Wu family and the Peng family, there is Pei Xiaguang! If it doesn't work, there is Pei Qiming. Don't worry, they are more sensitive than us about officialdom matters. If there are too many, you won’t have anything to worry about.”

Yu Tang nodded. When she came out of Yin's house, Pei Yan was still drinking in the outer courtyard. She waited for a while before she saw Pei Yan.

However, Pei Yan looked as usual, and when he got closer, he could smell a faint smell of alcohol, which showed that he didn't drink much. But she still stepped forward with concern and gave Pei Yan a hand, saying, "Are you okay?"

Pei Yan must be in a good mood. When he got close to her, he quickly kissed her on the forehead and smiled softly: "I'm fine. I kept you waiting for a long time. When he was about to go out, he was greeted by Yin Mingyuan. I asked him to talk about something."

Yu Tang didn’t ask what it was.

If Pei Yan wanted to tell her, he would naturally tell her.

She and Pei Yan got into the carriage.

After leaving the waiters in the room at night, Yu Tang rested on Pei Yan's shoulder. Pei Yan told her about the incident: "Yin Mingyuan received Yin Hao's letter and felt that the marriage between the Wu family and the Peng family might be related to the marriage between the Wu family and the Peng family. The sea map we bought them last time has something to do with it. The Wu family has boatmen, the Song family can build ships, and the Peng family has captains who can sail ships. It is indeed a bit troublesome for these three families to join forces."

Yu Tang couldn't help but hold Pei Yan's arm tightly.

Pei Yan held her face, kissed her a few times, and said, "There's nothing to worry about. He has a plan, and I have a wall ladder. Who is afraid of whom?"

Yu Tang is puzzled.

Pei Yan whispered to her: "Our old man Yi has a cousin who is now an official in Xi'an. I have discussed it with Yin Mingyuan and will transfer him to the capital in a few days. The second brother is here It’s difficult for him to go to the Ministry of Husbandry, but he should have no problem going to the Ministry of Punishment or the Metropolitan Procuratorate.”

Yu Tang felt refreshed after hearing this, but was a little worried about the abilities of this cousin of the Pei family.

You know, the Peng family put a lot of thought into the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Pei Yan patted her back gently and said with a smile: "My cousin lost his father when he was young, and he grew up in our family. It's just that the Pei family has a lot of eyesight, and this cousin became an official. After that, there was not much contact on the surface. He and Yin Hao were in the same department, and Yin Hao was full of praise for his ability and character. After my second brother joined the Ministry of Household Affairs, I wrote a letter to this cousin, I asked him if he was willing to join the capital, and he quickly replied to my letter. However, there were too many things before and there were no suitable positions in the capital, so I put the matter aside for the time being. Now it’s just right, isn’t the Peng family married to the Wu family? ? We will send one to the Ministry of Punishment or the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is best to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which happens to deal with Peng Yu."

Yu Tang thinks this is a good idea.

She rested peacefully.

After the Hungry Ghost Festival, a letter came from Lin'an.

First, Mrs. Yi. In the letter, he scolded Pei Yan and said that Pei Yan should not separate from Pei Tong. But that was the end of the matter. After scolding him, he started to tell Pei Yan how to arrange Pei Tong.

Not only did he object to the equal distribution of Mr. Pei's private property to Pei Tong, he also wrote a separate letter to Pei Xuan, scolding Pei Xuan.

Because Yu Tang was worried that the elders in his hometown would misunderstand Pei Yan and blame Pei Yan for Pei Tong's split, he knew about Lin'an's letter and asked for it.

As a result, she found that although Mrs. Yi was harsh in words, he was much harsher than the Pei Yan brothers on how to arrange Pei Tong. He quite meant that since he was no longer a member of the Pei family, he didn't need to worry too much.

Yu Tang was very surprised.

Pei Yan smiled and said: "Although the elders like to have more children, they also hope that brothers will work together."

Yu Tang nodded.

Pei Yan took a few more glances at the letter.

Mr. Yi is also a very smart and capable man. When his father passed away, Mr. Yi called his two brothers several times to ask him how his father died. The two brothers were really too shameless to reveal what their elder brother had done. , so that he didn’t give up the truth. But later, when his father was discharged, Mr. Yi looked at the two brothers and sighed, and he vaguely felt that Mr. Yi must know something.

Thus, regarding Pei Tong’s separation, his old man just lightly scolded him in the letter. Later, he was worried that he would be too lenient towards Pei Tong because of their deep brotherhood, and would cut the grass without eradicating the roots, leaving behind harm. .

He was not going to tell Yu Tang this.

Since the marriage between the Wu family and the Peng family, Yu Tang said nothing in front of him, but he felt that Yu Tang's heartstrings had been tense. This was not a good thing for Yu Tang, so he could only comfort him as much as possible. Her, calm her down.

He took Pei Lao'an's letter to Yu Tang and said, "Mom is a little sad too. Let's go back early. My sister-in-law said she would send them to the capital as soon as possible."

Brothers hate each other.

The saddest thing is the mother.

Yu Tang had been worried about Pei Laoan, so he immediately took the letter after hearing this.

Pei Laoan's tone was quite calm, but if you think about it, you can guess her mood.

Yu Tang sighed and discussed with Pei Yan: "The things with the Zhang family are almost over. Pei Tong and the others have separated. Lao An must be sad and lonely. If you really can't leave, how about I Go back first?"

Pei Yan thought for a while and said, "How about letting my mother come to the capital? When people at home asked, they said they wanted to see Pei Tong. Then we went directly from the capital to climb Mount Tai."

Yu Tang's eyes lit up and he said, "It's better if we accompany her to relax." He also urged Pei Yan to write a letter to Pei Lao'an quickly, "I just don't know if she is willing to be with you." Are you going to go with me, my wife?"

Pei Yan disagreed and said: "It will take two months on the road. I'm afraid my mother will get angry before she arrives."

This is too harsh.

Yu Tang turned Pei Yan on his back.

Pei Yan stopped talking and sent someone to deliver a letter to Pei Tong, telling him roughly when the eldest lady would come to the capital.

Yu Tang was thinking about where to live after Pei Laoan arrived.

The second wife and Pei Xuan were very happy to know about this. The couple even took the time to come over and discuss with Pei Yan and his wife to let Pei Laoan live in the capital for a longer period of time. They went to renegotiate with the Qin family. As for Pei Dan's wedding, we will wait until Pei Dan comes out of the cabinet to go back.

The time came to August in this leisurely way. ~IndoMTL.com~ The osmanthus trees raised by Yu Tang began to bloom with tiny yellow buds one after another, and the fragrant scent of osmanthus permeated the east courtyard of Pei Mansion.

Yu Tang goes there occasionally, and when he comes back he has to wash his hair, take a shower, and change clothes, for fear of disturbing Pei Yan.

Pei Yan didn't notice, he just told Yu Tang happily: "Our cousin was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and served as the censor of Qiandu. Although his rank was not promoted, he was transferred to the capital. He will bring his family to Beijing in the next few days. I sent someone to Tongzhou to pick him up. I also want to invite him to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with our family. What do you think?"

Since we are on the same boat, the closer we are, the better.

Yu Tang readily agreed and said proactively, "I'll go discuss with my second sister-in-law how to entertain their family when we see you."

Pei Yan smiled and nodded.
