Chapter 128: Gilding
After that, Yu Tang was a little absent-minded, but until the afternoon, she didn't wait for Ah Tao to come back, but she was going back to Lin'an City again, so she had to tell the fifth uncle: "If Ah Tao comes back, tell him that we will go home first, and let him rest here for a night before going back." He also told the sister-in-law who came to cook to leave food for Ah Yuan.
The sister-in-law wiped her apron and responded, and Yu Tang returned to the city.
Ah Tao came back at noon the next day.
He was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and while wiping the sweat with his sleeves, he said to Yu Tang: "Miss, I have checked it out." That person's name is Gao Qi, he is from Banqiao Town, his family runs a grocery store, and he has a younger brother and a younger sister. Speaking of this, he laughed, "Speaking of which, this person still has something to do with our family. The third young master of the Wei family married their cousin. However, this person does not have a good reputation. said that he had followed his family business to the north and south to do business since he was a child, and he was a little oily, and the people around him didn't like him very much. ”
Yu Tang was stunned.
Unexpectedly, that man was actually Gao's brother.
In her previous life, she had heard that the Gao family had a very capable brother, but this brother didn't know why he fell out with Gao's father, and he didn't come back much after running away with someone. Gao's eyes lit up every time he mentioned this brother, and he saw Yu Yuan becoming more and more unpleasant, and felt more and more that Yu Yuan was incompetent. For this reason, Yu Yuan was not less hit. Once, he got drunk and fell into the river, and if he hadn't been discovered in time, he would have almost drowned.
Yu Tang was a little ashamed, feeling that he had too much heart.
She said to Ah Tao: "I didn't expect that what we met was actually the cousin of the third young grandmother of the Wei family, why did I say it was so familiar?" Maybe their cousins look alike! ”
Ah Mo laughed.
And so it passed.
On this day, Yu Tang came back from the shop and saw that some of the grapes in the backyard were ripe, so he and Shuangtao took a pair of scissors and picked a bamboo basket to pick grapes, but Ma Xiuniang came home with a big belly.
Yu Tang was startled, and hurriedly helped Ma Xiuniang to sit down in the hall, and asked Shuangtao to bring in a bowl of mung bean soup with well water.
Who knew that before Ma Xiuniang took the bowl into her hand, she was drunk by Chen, who knew that Ma Xiuniang was coming: "You two are not worried, Xiuniang is about to give birth, this mung bean is cold, is it something she can drink?" Shuangtao, give this bowl of mung bean soup to Ah Tang, and you go and bring a bowl of lotus seed soup. ”
Shuangtao was so frightened that she almost broke the bowl, and quickly gave the mung bean soup to Ah Tang and ran to the kitchen.
"Auntie!" Ma Xiuniang held her waist and was about to stand up.
Chen walked to Ma Xiuniang's side in three steps and two steps, supported her, and said, "You are such a heavy month, what are you doing talking to your aunt about this false ceremony?" Sit down quickly and be careful to flash your waist. He also instructed Yu Tang, "You go and grab some dried fruits from my house to make refreshments for your sister Xiuniang." ”
Yu Tang hurriedly grabbed the dried fruits and came in.
Chen had already sat down with Ma Xiuniang and said softly about the child: "...... Have you washed and dried the small quilts and clothes at home? Honeysuckle water for bathing and ice powder for wiping your buttocks are ready, right? ”
Ma Xiuniang smiled and answered them one by one.
Yu Tang put the box containing the dried fruits in front of Ma Xiuniang, and the lotus seed soup of Shuangpeach was also brought in.
Chen smiled: "Eat and drink quickly, and walk vigorously." ”
Ma Xiuniang thanked her.
Chen asked her meaning: "On such a hot day, your body is inconvenient, if you are bored, just let someone bring a letter and call Ah Tang to be your companion, and when you give birth to a child, just hold the child and come over to play, just kill Ah Tang's temperament and let her bring you a child." ”
Ma Xiuniang smiled abruptly and said, "Auntie, I heard good news and couldn't help but run over!" ”
"What's the good news?" Yu Tang and Chen said in unison.
Ma Xiuniang raised her eyebrows, and said with an excited smile: "Auntie, Ah Tang, I heard that the Gu family and the Li family have withdrawn!" ”
The Gu family and the Li family?
Gu Xi and Li Duan?
Yu Tang and Chen couldn't hide their surprise.
Ma Xiuniang laughed for a long time and said, "Auntie and Ah Tang don't know yet, right?" This matter has spread, and it seems that it has not yet reached the ears of Aunt and Tang. However, the Li family's shit luck is quite good, although he was retired by the Gu family, but Master Li has a prosperous official luck, I heard that he stayed in Beijing, although his rank has not changed, but he has been appointed as the secretary of the general administration. Their family is now proud, so that those who originally wanted to laugh at them for being divorced by the Gu family have no reason to talk about their family anymore. Otherwise, you would have been believed! ”
In his previous life, Li Yi also stayed in the capital after the expiration of his term of office in Rizhao, but he did not arrange any official position for a while, until Li Duan and Gu Xi became relatives, he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, after Gu Xi gave birth to his eldest son, he was promoted to Taifu Temple Qing and became one of the little Jiuqing.
In this life, the Li family and the Gu family retired, and Li Yi was promoted to the secretary of the general administration of the left general government.
Yu Tang suspected that there was the Gu family's handiwork.
Otherwise, how could the Li family agree to withdraw from their relatives so easily?
She pulled Ma Xiuniang and said, "The Gu family and the Li family have withdrawn, and the Li family didn't say anything?" ”
Ma Xiuniang pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "What can the Li family say?" Does it mean that his son is disliked by the Gu family, or is there something wrong with the eldest lady of the Gu family? Since it is impossible to say it on both sides, it can only knock out the teeth and swallow blood. It is only said that the two of them do not agree with each other, please ask the master of Zhaoming Temple to untie the sign a few times can not be untied, seeing that he is about to get married, the eldest son of the Li family fell while walking today, and went out tomorrow and startled the horse, and he was born in peace one day, Miss Gu Jia, suddenly had ringworm, which grew from his arm to his face. Later, the sixth master of the Gu family asked the senior monks in the capital to calculate a hexagram, saying that the marriage between the two was not in one place, and they were forced together. As soon as the two families heard this, they simply withdrew their relatives. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Xiuniang sneered a few times and said, "Then Mrs. Li still put gold on her face, saying that although the marriage did not work, the Li and Gu families are still relatives." Gu Liuye and Li Dagongzi have sworn brothers, if there is anything to happen to the Li family in the future, go straight to Gu Liuye! ”
The Chen family's world is in this mansion, in her eyes, the gap between the Yu family and the Li family has been settled by Pei Yan as the middleman, whether the Li family retreats or is promoted, it has nothing to do with the Yu family, she didn't take it to heart, smiled and didn't speak.
Yu Tang was itchy in his heart, wondering if it was because of his own trouble, so that the Gu family quit his family, not to mention, and helped Li Yi find a good errand, in exchange, so that the Li family had to give in and shut up on the matter of quitting his family.
It's a pity that her father is not at home.
No, even if her father is at home, he won't tell her this, maybe he will think that she has ruined other people's marriages, and tell her not to mention this matter again.
Someone who can talk to her freely...... Come to think of it...... It seems that there is only Master Pei San.
So does she want to meet Pei Yan?
Yu Tang hesitated, but in the end he couldn't control his schadenfreude, brought two boxes of tea bought in Suzhou City, and asked someone to hand over a letter to Pei Yan, saying that he wanted to meet him.
Pei Yan was resting at home, and he didn't think much about it, and saw Yu Tang in the cultivation garden where he lived.
Because he came to see Pei Yan, Yu Tang dressed more formally. Silver-white striped Hangzhou silk gown, white silk thread-picking skirt, double snail bun, wearing beaded flowers, and smearing some lipstick bought in Suzhou City, looking flawless before going out. But the problem was that the weather was too hot, so she was stuffy in the sedan chair for a while, and then followed the Pei family's little maid all the way, and when she arrived at the gate of the cultivated garden, she felt as if her back was sweaty.
Fortunately, the ploughing garden was full of thick green trees, the canopy of the trees was like an umbrella, covering the sky and the sun, and a small stream flowed beside the roadway paved with bluestone slabs, and the cool air came to her face, which made her cool immediately.
She breathed a sigh of relief, wondering if she should quietly find a place to wipe her sweat before meeting Pei Yan, but when she turned around, she saw Pei Yan, who was wearing a muslin white gauze robe, was lying on the rocking chair in the pavilion next to the stream and reading a book with a comfortable expression.
It's really more popular than people!
Why is this guy so good at enjoying it?
Yu Tang slandered a few words in his heart, feeling that he and Pei Yan were still separated from each other, and it might not be appropriate to say something to him.
She suddenly felt that her interest in speaking had faded a little, and her face couldn't help showing a little hesitation, and her pace slowed down.
Where did Ah Ming, who brought her in, know her thoughts, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but whisper with concern: "Miss Yu, what's wrong with you?" Are you tired of walking? We'll be there right away. The cultivation garden is in the south of the house, a little far from the waist gate. ”
Yu Tang cheered up when he heard this.
It's all here, and it's too inappropriate to say that you are going at this time.
"No," she said to Ah Ming with a smile, "I saw that the scenery was good, so I looked left and right." ”
Ah Ming waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "What's good here?" It's all trees, and the three masters like it. The place where our Lao An people live is good, the flowers are full of flowers, and they bear red fruits all year round. ”
may be in the eyes of others, the chic scenery is not more than Erer in the eyes of the Pei family who have seen a lot!
Yu Tang smiled and was about to say a few words of gossip with Ah Ming, but Ah Ming suddenly stopped, saluted respectfully, and shouted "Third Master".
She looked over to Ah Ming.
Pei Yan didn't know when he got up from the rocking chair and looked at them with his hands on the railing of the gazebo.
"Third Master!" Yu Tang also said hello to him.
Pei Yan nodded.
Ah Ming took Yu Tang into the pavilion.
Pei Yan leaned on the railing, pointed at random, and said "sit".
Yu Tang looked around.
In this pavilion, in addition to the rocking chair where Pei Yan is lying, it is the coffee table next to the rocking chair, let her sit, where does she sit?
She can't sit in the rocking chair he's lying in, can she?
Yu Tang hurt her brain, wondering if she should politely say "no", a man came out of nowhere and put the chair behind her.
Yu Tang's face turned red, and he quickly pressed the thoughts in his mind to the bottom of his heart, and sat down on the chair generously.
