Delicate Flower Chapter 388: Ghost fetus
The second wife is tidying up the house on the east side where she lives these days. Seeing Yu Tang coming over, she hurriedly pulled her over to take a look: "What do you think of the tidying up? Do you want to add anything else?"
After discussion, brothers Pei Xuan and Pei Yan planned to live here after Pei Laoan came to Beijing.
The walls were repainted, the flowers and trees in the yard were pruned again, and some yellow pear wood furniture and rosewood and wenge wood screens were added. All that was needed was to hang up tents and spread cushions before people could move in.
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I see that the furnishings here are similar to those where my mother-in-law lives in her hometown. My mother-in-law will definitely be satisfied."
The second wife felt relieved and said with a smile: "I'm afraid she won't be used to living in an old house. The climate in the north is very different from that in the south."
Indeed, it was already winter when Lao An arrived in Beijing.
"Then order more charcoal this year." Yu Tang helped with ideas.
The two chatted some more, and then Yu Tang mentioned his intention.
The second wife was naturally happy after hearing this and said with a smile: "I was afraid that the second master would be an official in the capital and block the official path of other brothers. Now that a cousin has come to the capital to be an official, we can take care of each other. It's great. Now." Then he asked if the place to live has been arranged, and asked if he could help rent a house, "After all, coming from a long distance, some things are not convenient."
Yu Tang smiled and said: "Xia Guang said that the housekeeper over there will arrive a few days in advance, and Mr. Shu has been arranged to help with the reception. I guess we don't need to worry about these things."
The second wife's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and said, "Are you going to Tongzhou to pick me up then?"
Yu Tang said: "What do you want?"
"No, no." The second wife said with a smile, "I just thought that the weather is refreshing today, and I am almost busy with all the things I should be busy with at home. If you go to Tongzhou, I will follow you to your new house. Stay here for a few days and get some fresh air."
Yu Tang laughed loudly and said: "There are too many people giving gifts, and my second uncle won't accept them. Are you afraid of offending others, so why don't you just hide out?"
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, Pei Xuan is in charge of Yan Yin's re-examination. Although Pei Yan has made it clear long ago that he will not discuss official matters at home, he can't stand it. The Pei family has been living in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years and has too many old friends. Recently, many people have come to visit their home. The guests almost trampled down the threshold of the Pei family.
The second wife smiled sarcastically.
Yu Tang also became interested and said, "How about I discuss it with Xia Guang and let's go to Tongzhou a few days in advance?"
The second wife smiled and said: "I will also take A Dan and A Hong there."
Yu Tang readily agreed and sent a steward to Tongzhou in advance to arrange relevant matters.
Mrs. Song Si brought Mrs. Wu Da to visit Yu Tang.
When Yu Tang got the invitation, she couldn't believe it and asked the boy who came to report: "Did you hear clearly, the fourth wife of the Song family came to visit me?"
During this time, I mostly come to visit the second wife.
The young man hurriedly and respectfully said: "I asked clearly, I said that I came to deliver invitations to you and the second wife."
Yu Tang suddenly realized.
During this period of time, I was only busy with trivial matters at home, but I forgot about Miss Wu's resignation from the cabinet.
She invited Mrs. Song Si to come in.
Miss Wu is not the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, but the person who came to the capital to deal with her leaving the cabinet was the wife of the Wu family, Mrs. Wu, the biological mother of the eldest mistress of the Jiang family.
To be able to give birth to a beauty like the eldest mistress of the Jiang family, Mrs. Wu was also an extremely good-looking woman. Mrs. Song Si recommended Mrs. Wu to Yu Tang.
Mrs. Wu always praised Yu Tang for her beauty, and did not neglect Yu Tang because she was about the same age as Yu Tang's mother. This shows that she is a very good woman.
The two greeted each other politely. After the guests and hosts sat down, Mrs. Wu personally took the wedding invitation to Yu Tang.
Mrs. Song Si was saying complimentary words beside her: "I told you that I would deliver this wedding invitation and come to your house for a visit. But Mrs. Wu felt that this was disrespectful and had to come in person. I think, From now on, if you don’t look up and look down, you can come and recognize each other. So I came here with her."
Seeing that Miss Wu’s wedding was scheduled for September 22nd, Yu Tang first said “congratulations” to Mrs. Wu, and then answered Mrs. Song Si’s words: “Thank you very much. I will get married a few months earlier.” Jing, although I am not very familiar with Beijing, I should be familiar with the steward at home. If you need our help with anything, just send someone to tell me and I will ask the steward at home to come over and help."
It was impossible to ask her to help.
Mrs. Wu didn’t know whether she heard what she said. She smiled and expressed gratitude, and asked about Pei Tong: “I heard that Pei Tong has moved out. We are not familiar with the place where we live, so we didn’t know where to move at the moment. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the place, so I had to send the person in charge to deliver the wedding invitations."
How could you not know where you moved?
When Mrs. Wu said this, she was just asking Yu Tang tactfully if Pei Tong and Pei Mansion would still be a family in the future. If they are a family, then the Wu family only needs to send a wedding invitation to the Pei family. If they want two families, they will send someone to deliver a wedding invitation to Pei Tong. However, after Pei Tong left the Pei family, he became an ordinary scholar's family. It was impossible for Mrs. Wu to send wedding invitations to them in person.
Yu Tang thought about what Pei You had done and Pei Yan's intention of letting Pei Tong split into different clans. She just took this opportunity to make it clear to those who were talking about their family behind their backs.
"They moved to the original location." Yu Tang said with a smile, "I haven't seen them for some days, and I don't know if they have any other arrangements then. If the manager of your house is not available, then I will Let my steward here make a trip for your steward."
Before she finished speaking, the expressions of Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Song Si both changed subtly. Mrs. Wu smiled reluctantly and said: "That's what they do, and they have to trouble your housekeeper to run errands for them." Now that I know where they have moved, I’ll ask the steward at home to make a trip."
Yu Tang nodded with a smile, chatted with the two for a long time, and finally left them lunch.
The two of them didn't know whether they were really busy or pretending to be busy. They made an excuse to send wedding invitations to people like Zhang and Li. They politely declined lunch and made an appointment to visit Yu Tang when they were free next time.
Yu Tang did not force himself and sent them out personally.
On the way, everyone met the second wife who came to see Yu Tang.
The fourth wife of Song Dynasty was overjoyed and introduced Mrs. Wu to the second wife.
The second wife saw everyone during this period who seemed to be here to do something for her, so she couldn't help but be a little wary. She said a few words to Mrs. Wu Da, knowing that she was here to send a wedding invitation, and promised that she would do it when the time came. After Hui and Yu Tang went there together, he accompanied Yu Tang to send the two of them out of the door.
Yu Tang couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw the second wife looking like she was facing a formidable enemy.
The second wife complained to her: "You don't know how tricky those people are at delivering things - yesterday I received a box of mooncakes, saying they were brought from Guangdong. I didn't think much about it. I'll bring you some to try. Who knew when I opened it, I found a box of banknotes. I was scared to death, so I quickly handed it over to your second uncle. Alas, I don't know when this day will end! ”
Yu Tang teased her: "Others can't think of it, but you are still worried. This is really a pain in the neck when you stand and talk."
The second wife smiled and pinched Yu Tang's face.
The two of them laughed and headed to the inner house.
Mrs. Song Si, who had already sat on the carriage, asked Mrs. Wu in confusion: "Why are you stopping me from telling Mrs. Pei Er? We will start delivering grain to Jiubian after the autumn harvest?" None of the family is in this business, but the Peng family followed the Pei family and bought several farms in Jiangxi. Today is a good harvest year."
After the grain is sent to Jiubian, it must be exchanged for salt. If you want to get salt from the salt, you must register with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Mrs. Song Si couldn’t help complaining: “I don’t know who thought of this move. Didn’t the Salt Transportation Department become a decoration?”
Mrs. Wu smiled and said: "That's because something happened to the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy, and the verification at the Ministry of Household Affairs is only temporary. I don't think Mrs. Pei Er likes to take care of things, maybe she said the opposite. It's unpleasant. Why bother! The Peng family is not what we imagined, and they must have a way to solve this matter. Let's not add any unnecessary extravagance."
That’s what she said, but she was a little annoyed that Mrs. Song Si looked ugly.
However, someone else would probably be uglier than her.
Jiang Chao has appeared in Suzhou these days and has taken away a lot of business from the Song family. But I don’t know who is standing behind Jiang Chao. The government turns a blind eye and doesn’t care. However, the two brothers of the Pei family are... In the capital, when they found the Pei family, there was no one in charge, so the Song family had no choice but to go the way of the Peng family.
The Pei family should know this by now.
I wonder what the Pei family will do?
The Wu family never puts their eggs in one basket and intends to follow the Pei family's path.
She came to Pei's house to send wedding invitations when she was young, but she took the opportunity to meet Mrs. Pei San when she was older. Meeting Mrs. Pei Er was even more unexpected.
I just don’t know if the people sent to contact the Pei family have contacted the Pei family.
Mrs. Wu was thinking about something, and she was a little distracted when talking to Mrs. Song Si: "When the Peng family is settling down, I also want to invite the two Mrs. Pei to support me. It won't be too late to visit them then."
Mrs. Song Si was more concerned about a marriage introduced by the Wu family to Miss Song Qi.
It is definitely not as good as the Peng family, but the eldest uncle of that family is an official in Jiangsu, and an official is not as good as a manager. But whether it would work or not, she still had to go back and discuss it with the Fourth Master.
The two of them returned to the new house the Wu family bought in the capital with their own thoughts.
The shopkeeper Gao and his wife sent by the Peng family to assist the Wu family are already waiting at the second door.
Shopkeeper Gao stood a little far away, while Mrs. Gao came over to help lift the curtains of the car, and helped Mrs. Wu get out of the carriage.
Mrs. Wu has been flattered by this tall lady for the past two days~IndoMTL.com~ In addition, it is someone sent by the Peng family, which gives her quite a face. She smiled and asked Madam Gao: "But what's the matter?"
Ms. Gao said hurriedly: "Nothing, I just came here to see if there is anything we need to run errands for."
Mrs. Wu remembered that she had vaguely heard that shopkeeper Gao had come to the capital and helped the Peng family get a batch of salt.
The Wu family started off by boat. If they could get salt, they would be more profitable than other families.
She paused slightly, smiled and said to Mrs. Gao: "You helping our family every day, won't it delay your business, right?"
Gao Niangzi is very good at talking and said with a smile: "You are our business here!"
Mrs. Wu laughed and said: "You don't have to say nice things in front of me. I heard that the Peng family was able to successfully obtain salt and it was all thanks to your family. Don't You're being careless in front of me!"
