Yu Tang and his wife talked and laughed, and decided to visit Tao Qing in advance.

Pei Yan asked Pei Wu to go and talk to Tao Qing in advance, and then helped Yu Tang to get on the sedan chair and went to an inn near the Xizha Gate of the Tao family.

Tao Qing personally greeted them outside the door, and brought a lot of imported goods to Yu Tang, including a box about a foot high, Tao Qing said, it was a Western doll, which sold very well in Guangdong and Fujian, so he brought her a too.

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

Yu Tang smiled and thanked him, accepted the gift, and thought that he would open it first one when he went back to see what this Western doll looked like.

Tao Qingze and Pei Yan talked about Tao Anlai, who was the governor of Jiangxi: "It can be regarded as the predecessors planting trees and the descendants enjoying the shade, many of the decrees that Lord Zhang did not have time to implement before were completed by A'an, and you went to buy a grange, which also attracted a lot of wealthy people in the vicinity to buy land and reclaim wasteland, which helped A'an a lot." A'an said that if there are no accidents this year, Jiangxi will be a bumper year. At that time, the food that goes to the nine sides will be more abundant, and his political achievements will be further improved no matter what. And even if the grain harvest is not good this year, I am ready to send a batch of grain from Guangzhou, so that Ah An can be the governor of the past few years. ”

When the term of office expires, if you don't want to be a scholar, you can also go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Dali Temple to be a chief official.

Sealing the cabinet is just around the corner.

Tao Qing thought about it and felt that it was a very correct thing to come to Pei Yan in the first place. He couldn't help but sigh, and said to Pei Yan: "Are you going to forget it like this?" What did the old lady leave at the beginning? If you can trust me, just tell me well, maybe the old lady means to only let you be in charge of the sect for the time being, and it may not be necessary to talk about it when the limelight has passed. Don't go all the way to the dark. ”

Pei Yan said: "If I didn't believe in my brother, I wouldn't have brought people from my family to visit you like this." The old man really asked me not to be an official anymore. He felt that I was ambitious, and it was an eventful time in the court, and he was afraid that I would be young and vigorous, and I would be deceived and involved in the dispute between the heirs. I also think the old man's words make sense - if I am an official in the capital, I don't know how many people I will offend in the current situation! ”

Tao An called it a pity, and couldn't help but give him an idea: "It's not bad to live in the capital, teach the children to read well, and you may not be able to come to 'one door and three jinshi' again." ”

Pei Yan laughed and didn't care.

He and Yu Tang have been married for half a year, and Yu Tang has not moved, and he feels that their heirs may be a little difficult.

However, nothing is perfect in this world. If there is, then there must be a big pit waiting for him ahead. Rather than not knowing what will happen, it is better to live slowly with Yu Tang like this, the child should naturally have it sometimes, and the child does not force it from time to time.

It is best if they can be affectionate as husband and wife.

Pei Yan said: "Are you coming to the capital this time for next year's Halloween?" ”

Tao Qing nodded and said, "I want to see if there is any chance." Then he said, "This time the Li family is also here." Their family is in the tea business, to see if they can send their tea into the palace. ”

Pei Yan doesn't care much about these business matters, and the Pei family's business is all in the hands of the chief manager. In his opinion, there are many ways for people like them to make money, and they can't compete with the people for profit if they do anything. At most, Pei Yan helped decide on a charter when the chief manager couldn't make up his mind.

Yu Tang pondered in his heart.

When she arrived in the capital, she found that people in the capital liked to drink green tea.

In the previous life, the tea of the second brother-in-law's family became a tribute.

It's just that she doesn't know when she was chosen.

Or would she go and ask?

But this matter has to be discussed with Pei Yan, lest she be self-righteous and self-defeating.

They had lunch at Tao's house, and in the afternoon, accompanied by Tao Qing himself, they went to the Tao family's grocery store in the capital.

She saw Western dolls.

The open-chested skirt, the porcelain-fired face, the eyebrows and mouth are painted with color, green eyes, and blond hair...... It's weird indeed.

But it's also rare.

She bought one.

Tao Qing thought she liked it, so he asked the shopkeeper to wrap two for her and gave her the only two dolls in the shop.

Yu Tang insisted on paying, saying that it was going to be given to a friend.

Tao Qing said with a smile: "I only brought a total of five back this time, and gifts are very good things." It's rare that you like it, with the friendship between our two families, there is really no need to be so polite. ”

Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan nodded slightly at her.

Yu Tang accepted it with a smile, said a word of gratitude, and thought that it would be good to see if there was anything suitable for the Tao family in the future.

After that, she picked out some perfumes, balms, incense powders, and precious stones, most of which were intended to be given away.

Pei Yan did not accompany Yu Tang to go shopping, but was pulled by Tao Qing, and sat in the back of the account room and continued to talk about the affairs in Beijing: "I heard that the Yang family folded in this time? What are your family's plans? If you want me to say, you can't just watch them finish, speaking of which, it's also your eldest brother's Yue family, your eldest brother is no longer here, you have to stretch out your hand to manage it for the sake of your two nephews. ”

Pei Yan smiled, didn't speak, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

A night passed, and Pei Tong continued to fight with Gu Xi, ignoring Gu Xi.

Gu Xi didn't care.

She barely slept last night, thinking about what Pei Yan and Pei Xuan said.

It is impossible to get out of this small family, so you can only let Pei Tong make a choice. With Pei Tong's character, he is afraid that the Yang family will play the sad card. In case of...... Pei Tong is on the side of the Yang family, and the Pei family will definitely not let go of the people in their room. What will she do then/

Gu Xi went to Pei Tong's study and asked her husband, "When are you going to see the two uncles today?" ”

Pei Tong's face changed, and he said sharply: "What do you mean by this?" Urging me to take a stand, right? Don't worry, I won't bother you. Even if you want to help outsiders, they will take you out. ”

Gu Xi wanted to ask "Why did you take me out", or "Why did you take me out", but as soon as such words were spoken, their husband and wife relationship would come to an end, right? She endured it again and again, and finally smiled: "I'm going to go out - Mrs. Yin said two days ago that the kimchi I soaked was delicious, and I gave some to Mrs. Yin, and I was going to take some to my sister-in-law." If you go to see your two uncles this morning, I'll go another day. If you're going to see your two uncles in the afternoon, I'll take advantage of the morning's fineness. lest my sister-in-law know that I have sent food to Mrs. Yin, but she doesn't think about her, and she feels uncomfortable. ”

These family trivial ladies have always been disdainful, and after Pei You's death, Pei Yan took over.

He felt that he had misunderstood Gu Xi, but he could let him bow his head and admit his mistake to Gu Xi, thinking of Gu Xi's fuss yesterday, he still had a breath in his heart, and he couldn't lower his head.

Gu Xi didn't think that he would bow his head to her, speaking of which, they were just good friends with Qin and Jin, and they respected each other like guests.

Seeing that he didn't answer, she smiled and said, "Then I'll go to my sister-in-law first, I'll come back early, and we'll eat cold noodles in the evening." ”

No longer mention the matter of visiting Pei Yan and Pei Xuan.

Pei Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xi went to Gu Chang's house.

Gu Chang did not come back in the yamen, only the Yin family was at home.

Gu Xi didn't expect to see her brother, she told the Yin family everything that happened at home.

Yin Shi frowned when he heard this.

No matter how capable a woman is, she is afraid of meeting a husband who does not listen to persuasion.

She said, "In case my uncle really chooses the Yang family, what are you going to do?" ”

You can't just leave because of this, right?

If you don't get along, in the end, you will be a family, and you can only share honor and disgrace.

Gu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "So I came to find Brother and wanted to hear what he meant!" ”

Yin Shi was not hypocritical, and said, "Okay, then you will talk to your brother later." "I also saved her for dinner.

Gu Xi shook his head and said, "I still have to rush back, it's an eventful time at home, so it's not good to stay outside for too long." You can help me bring a message to my brother. ”

Yin Shi responded and asked Gu Xi, "What do you mean?" As brothers and sisters-in-law, we must be on your side to consider. ”

Gu Xi didn't want to run back and forth to her parents' house for this matter, mainly because even if she ran to her parents' house without fear of trouble, she might not be able to see Gu Chang.

She muttered, "I definitely want to stand on the side of the Pei family." ”

No matter what the Yang family said, she felt that with the Pei family's way, it was unlikely that she would be convicted. But if they are really convicted, it is impossible for the Yang family to have the ability to clean them up by themselves. Anyway, life and death are tied to the Pei family, and she doesn't care about the Yang family, she only wholeheartedly asks the Bodhisattva to bless the Pei family to save the day.

Gu Xi said: "If he can't distinguish priorities at such a critical moment, I guess it will be difficult for me to enjoy his blessings in the future." I think I should take the initiative to ask to return to Lin'an, and replace my mother-in-law and father-in-law to fulfill my filial piety to Lao An. ”

It would be better to have a son.

With Pei Lao'an's protection, without this emotional husband, she may be able to live better in the Pei family.

Pei Lao'an married into the Pei family with ten miles of red makeup.

Gu Xi touched his belly, which had not yet changed.

Yin admired the sister-in-law's decisiveness very much, and said, "It's great that you can think like this." Man can only save himself. Don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else, when the day comes, even if you have the Pei family to take care of, your brother and I will do our part. ”

Gu Xi achieved his goal, put his mind at ease, and returned to Pei's Mansion.

Pei Yan and Yu Tang haven't come back yet, saying that they went out shopping.

Gu Xi was dumbfounded, he could stuff an egg in his mouth, and it took a while before he came back to his senses and said, "The third uncle took the third uncle to the street like this." ”

Back to her mother-in-law from the Pei family's old house, who had served Pei Lao'an in the past, she was a little displeased when she heard this, and said: "The third lady is still wearing a hat, and she is visiting the Tao family's shop, accompanied by the third master, how can she not bring anything?" ”

"Oh." Gu Xi was busy with the chaos, and talked to the mother-in-law wholeheartedly: "Did the third uncle and the third uncle say when they would come back?" ”

Yang's family matter, the sooner it is resolved, the better.

She couldn't hold her breath anymore.

If the Yang family's affairs are not resolved, she is afraid that she will break out, jump her feet, and quarrel with Pei Tong again.
