Chapter 15 Identity
Despite this, both Chen and Yu Tang felt that this was not a place to stay for long. The two discussed, went to talk to Lei Zhi, and went to the place where Pei's family set up a vegetarian banquet in advance.
Who knew that when they went out, they saw a group of small servants unloading the cages.
Listening to that tone, it was Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang, who came to offer condolences and arranged to stay in a guest room not far from here.
No wonder I heard a commotion just now.
Chen and Yu Tang were afraid of attracting the attention of others, so they quietly found the tired branch and said goodbye to her.
Thinking that the mother and daughter felt that it was too lonely, and that it was about to be time for the feast, she left what she was doing and led them to the hall where lunch was arranged.
It was noon in summer, the sun was dazzling, but the big trees on both sides of the cloister of Pei's house covered the sky and the sun, and the cool breeze was very comfortable.
In the distance, Yu Tang saw several men coming from the corridor opposite.
The man in the middle looked like he was twenty-three or four years old, with a tall figure, wearing filial piety clothes, with a pale face, a high nose bridge, a tight jaw slightly raised, and although the momentum was flamboyant, there was gloom between his eyebrows.
It was actually a man in Tsing Yi who met in a pawnshop that day.
Yu Tang's apricot eyes were round.
He, how could he be here?
This is the inner courtyard of the Pei family!
Ti Zhi hurriedly pulled the corner of Yu Tang's clothes, and said urgently: "Miss Yu, it is the third master of our family and his friend. You, you dodge it. ”
Three masters?!
The third master of the Pei family?!
No way?!
Yu Tang looked at the tired branches, and then at the person opposite, suspecting that he was dazzled and ringing.
Seeing that Yu Tang's eyes were staring at the third master without turning, he was so anxious that he was sweating, and he couldn't care about being rude or not, so he pulled Yu Tang and avoided the corner of the corridor.
Seeing this, Chen stopped in front of Yu Tang.
Pei Yan didn't squint and walked through the corridor opposite.
However, the men who followed him, several of them glanced back at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang didn't notice this, she was still in the shock that the man in Tsing Yi was the third master of the Pei family.
When Ti Zhi continued to walk forward with her, she still asked Lei Zhi for confirmation in disbelief: "Third master, why are you so young?" ”
Ti Zhi said: "The third master is an old lady. ”
She knew he was an old man!
But she didn't know he looked so young!
At the beginning, she also guessed that he was the young master of the other two branches.
also regarded him as a relative of the Pei family.
No wonder he didn't have a good face at the time.
Yu Tang blushed and said, "At what age did the third master of your family pass the exam?" ”
"Twenty-one years old." ”
She can't be blamed for that.
Her father was a child when he was twenty-one.
Yu Tang pouted.
Chen stopped his daughter and said, "Don't be rude! Go your way well. ”
The people in the Pei family criticized the Pei family for being too rude.
Yu Tang had to shut up.
Chen was still not at ease, and said, "You promised me not to cause trouble." No matter how curious you are, put up with me. ”
Yu Tang nodded helplessly.
Tired Zhi listened to what their mother and daughter were saying, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen said: "It's okay, it's okay. This little girl in my family is too curious. ”
A smile flashed in Ti Zhi's eyes, and he said, "People who see the third master of our family will be very surprised." Miss Yu is not the first. As she spoke, she glanced behind her, and then whispered, "Most of the third master is here to visit Mrs. Yang." ”
"Visiting Madame Yang?" Yu Tang said, looking a little strange.
Are Master Pei San and Mrs. Yang so good?
"It's our eldest wife's sister-in-law." Ti Zhi said, "Our eldest wife's maiden brother is serving as a political envoy in the General Political Department, and he is a third product!" Speaking of this, Ti Zhi looked around for a moment, saw that there was no one around, showed disdain, and said, "Just now, Mrs. Yang was uncomfortable, and said that the courtyard arranged was not good, so let the chief manager help change it." The chief manager is too, this little thing was also reported to the third master - the third master has not been able to eat and drink well in the past few days because of the old lady's affairs, and he has not closed his eyes, and he is worried in his heart, and the chief manager bumps into it. Look, the boss is going to eat the chop. ”
I wonder if this is part of Madame Yang's scheme?
Yu Tang thought secretly.
Chen Shi was frightened when he heard this, and whispered: "Maybe the chief manager can't deal with Mrs. Yang?" ”
"Mrs. Yang is not that kind of person!" Lei Zhi said disapprerovingly: "The chief manager is a bit of a person who relies on the old and sells the old, but the third master is the least willing to eat this set." In the past, he was protected by Lao Anren, but now Lao Anren is sick because of the old lady's affairs, who has the strength to care about him! He doesn't look at what time it is! ”
Which one is this?
Chen and Yu Tang were not good at commenting, Chen said a few words along the tired branches, and arrived at the hall where the table was set.
The hall was steaming hot, and many people were sitting densely.
Yu Tang saw several familiar faces, which should be their neighbors.
Maybe it was because of leaving the mourning hall, the grief passed away quickly, everyone talked and laughed, the hall was noisy and lively, not like a funeral, but like a wedding banquet.
Yu Tang remembered the appearance of Master Pei San just now, and thought of the grief when she received the news of her parents' death in her previous life, and couldn't help sighing.
Only true relatives can have heart-wrenching sorrow.
Lei Zhi arranged Chen and Yu Tang on the back seat.
It was quieter, with a hall breeze, cooler, and the women sitting on the table were all the ladies of some squires in Lin'an City. One of them, a little girl with a round face, about the same size as Yu Tang, greeted her with a smile when she saw her, and wanted to sit with her.
Yu Tang thought about it for a long time before he recognized her as Ma Xiuniang, the daughter of Ma Xiucai's family in the city.
At this time in their previous lives, they were playing well. When she left the cabinet, Ma Xiuniang had already married a child surnamed Zhang, and specially asked someone to bring a pair of silver bracelets with five taels of silver to press the box for her, and also brought a message to her, so that she could find her if she had any difficulties.
It's just that later, the Li family was ruthless, she was afraid that she would affect Ma Xiuniang, so she didn't dare to contact her, and she didn't have time to thank her until she died.
Yu Tang's eyes were moist, and he held Ma Xiuniang's hand and sat beside her.
Ma Xiucai's lady said to Chen: "Look at these two girls, they are as good as one person, but it seems that we are the queen mother of the river, and we want to separate them." ”
Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Ma Xiuniang asked Yu Tang: "Where have you been?" I was still looking for you just now? ”
Yu Tang said: "I'm in the house!" Where were you just now? I don't see you either. ”
Ma Xiuniang muttered, "That's weird. ”
Yu Tang changed the subject and said, "When did you come?" We haven't seen each other in a few days, what are you up to? ”
Ma Xiuniang talked about herself.
Seeing Yu Tang's strict tone, Chen breathed a sigh of relief and greeted Ma Xiucai's wife.
Yu Tang listened a little absent-mindedly.
She was still thinking about Master Pei San.
I really never dreamed that he was the legendary sect master of the Pei family.
In vain, she was worried that he would be on the wrong side in this dispute, but who knew that people would not suffer at all.
In his previous life, he not only firmly occupied the position of the sect master, but also directed the children of the Pei family who were officials outside to turn around.
Later, the Pei family came out with two more Jinshi, one was the eldest young master of the long house, and the other was the Zen young master of the other branch.
The eldest young master of the long room was pressed by him, and I don't know if the other young master of Zen was held by him?
Speaking of which, he didn't care about her taking advantage of the Pei family's reputation before, and she still owed him favors.
I thought he was the young master of which branch, but she found a famous painting and antique or something to send it, which can be regarded as a thank you. But now he is the third master of the Pei family, she is looking for famous paintings and antiques, but I am afraid that he is not rare.
Or else should it have happened? She just didn't know who he was?
As long as Yu Tang thought that the man in Tsing Yi was the third master of the Pei family hidden behind the Pei family in her memory, shrouding Lin'an City like a shadow, she was like facing an abyss, trembling, and felt that she would face unknown dangers at any time.
Hey, there are so many things about the third master of the Pei family, I hope he has forgotten her and what she has done.
However, his expression was much more gloomy than the last time she saw him, and he had given her the impression of being cold and detached. But now, he gave her the impression of being violent and impetuous, like a tight string, suppressing the unhappiness in her heart with reason, but she could break out at any time because she couldn't hold it back.
Was it caused by his father's death?
She was also sad when her parents died, but she was not like him. It was as if something about him had taken away something about him that kept him quiet and calm. And she just felt the pain.
The relationship between the third master of the Pei family and the old lady of the Pei family must be very good.
Yu Tang sighed in his heart, and suddenly noticed that Ma Xiuniang shook her hand, and said, "I was talking to you just now, didn't you hear?" What are you thinking? ”
She immediately came to her senses and said, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else. What are you going to say to me, I'll listen! ”
Ma Xiuniang didn't pursue it, and said: "I said that there will be a temple fair in Zhaoming Temple in ten days, do you want to go with me?" ”
She didn't mention it, Yu Tang really forgot about it.
In his previous life, the second son of the Li family, that is, Li Jun, is said to have taken a look at her at the temple fair of Zhaoming Temple, and put it in his heart, if he wants to die or live, she will not marry. The Li family considered that he was not the son who inherited the family business, so they reluctantly agreed to this family affair and invited a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage.
In this life, she no longer wants to have anything to do with the Li family.
"I'm not going." Yu Tang said, "You know that my mother's body is not good, and I want to accompany my mother at home." ”
Ma Xiuniang nodded in understanding, but Chen, who listened to a few words next to her, said: "It's rare that Xiuniang asked you out to play, so you can go!" There is Mrs. Chen at home. ”
In her previous life, her mother also persuaded her to go out and play.
Yu Tang's eyes were slightly moist, and he said, "I don't want to go." It's too hot. I'd better stay at home. lest you suffer from heat stroke. ”
Ma Xiucai's lady listened to it and reprimanded Ma Xiuniang: "Look at Ah Tang, you also let me stay at home, and I am not allowed to go anywhere." ”
"Mother!" Ma Xiuniang was struck by lightning and begged for a long time, but Ma Xiucai's wife did not agree.
Yu Tang was embarrassed and said, "Otherwise, you can come to my house to play!" What's so fun about the temple fair? It's so hot that it melts when you eat ice in your hand. You come to my house, and I ask my father to buy us ice, and melons from the well to eat. ”
Ma Xiuniang immediately responded happily and happily talked to her about visiting the house.
