Chapter 143: Entering the Mansion

It's just that before Yu Tang went to visit Pei Yan, the people of the Pei family came to visit Yu Tang first.

The person who came was Hu Xing, the third chief manager.

He was very attentive, sitting in the hall of the Yu family, and said to Yu Wen and Chen: "...... We Lao An people are not ordinary women in the house. That year, Mrs. Yi was sick, and the affairs of their family were arranged by our Lao An people. And since the old lady went, our Lao An people have closed the door to thank guests, that is, the aunt and grandmother of the eldest lady's mother's family have come over, and our Lao An people have only met once. Now he said that he wanted to take your girl into the house to sit, this is a grace that no matter how many people ask for, you have to tell Miss Yu to take care of it, our Lao An people like beautiful little girls the most! ”

Yu Wen was very surprised.

Chen was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Yu Tang's marriage has not been settled to this day, the Pei family is the most prominent family in Lin'an City, if Yu Tang can win the favor of Pei Lao'an, it will definitely be famous, which is very beneficial to her marriage.

"Thank you, Mr. Hu." Because she often brought Imperial Doctor Yang over to consult her, Chen and Hu Xing are quite familiar, and they don't have the restraint of ordinary people when they talk, "We will definitely not live up to the love of Mr. Hu." You sit down for a while, and I'll let someone prepare a banquet and let our master and you have a good drink. ”

Chen motioned to Mrs. Chen to prepare some gifts and give them to Hu Xing later.

Hu Xing waved his hand again and again and said, "We are not outsiders, Mrs. Yu and I don't have to be so polite." I was ordered by Lao Anren to go to the shopkeeper Tong, but I met the steward at the door who was about to deliver a letter to your family, so I took the initiative to ask Ying and ran over. I still have something to do over there, and when I'm done with this while, I'll find another opportunity to make a special trip to visit Master Yu. ”

He thought that if Miss Yu entered the mansion this time and won the eyes of Lao Anren, the Yu family and the Pei family would have to move around, and he would have to come to please him no matter what, and the relationship with the Yu family would have to be closer.

Yu Wen smiled when he heard this: "Listening to Manager Hu's tone, are you now on an errand in front of Lao Anren?" ”

Hu Xing's eyes narrowed into a slit when he laughed: "You are really sharp-eyed." No, I helped Lao Anren do a few things a few days ago, and Lao Anren saw that it was okay, so he asked me to be an errand in front of her old man. Isn't the shopkeeper Tong in charge of the pawnshop in Lin'an City? In a few days, it will be Song Lao'an's birthday, and Lao'an asked me to see if there are any rare things on his side, and I am going to pick up two and send them over. ”

Yuwen didn't want to keep him, so he personally sent him out.

Chen's side immediately got ready happily, ran to Yu Tang to tell Hu Xing's intentions, and pulled her to go to the silver building: "I have to go and see if there are any new styles of jewelry to buy a few pieces, and I have to buy a few clothes." I've heard that the Qian family is also a generational official eunuch, one of the four big families in Jiangnan, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Pei is really handsome, the Qian family would not have looked down on Mrs. Pei. Back then, Lao An was a low-married person. ”

Yu Tang couldn't cry or laugh.

In her previous life, she was also very nervous when she first came into contact with the three aunts and six relatives of the Li family, and later found that sometimes the more normal you are, the easier it is to integrate into the surrounding environment.

However, Pei Yan attaches so much importance to her appearance, and this is the first time she has officially visited the female dependents of the Pei family in Pei's mansion, so she has to dress up well, which is also to respect Pei Lao'an. It's just that on the morning she went to Pei's house, it suddenly rained, and the weather was a little gloomy. She deliberately chose a silver-red persimmon pattern with a baby yellow trim, a white stand-up collar coat, nailed with pearls the size of lotus seeds and rice as buttons, which just echoed the pair of pearl earrings hanging from her ears, and a pair of baby yellow lotus on her head. The well-dressed Yu Tang looks even more slim, and his skin is as bright as snow, making the gloomy hall brighter.

Mrs. Chen kept praising her: "Our young lady just has to dress up well, you see, this dress is really like a fairy descending to earth." ”

Chen pursed his lips and smiled, obviously agreeing with Mrs. Chen's statement.

Yu Tang looked at himself who was smeared in the mirror, and there was a moment of trance.

She had never dressed like this in her previous life, and she had never had the opportunity to look in the mirror as carefully as she did now, but she didn't expect her to be really beautiful. No wonder in her previous life, after Gu Xi knew that Li Duan had ill intentions towards her, every time she looked at her, she was not only hateful, but also a little jealous.

But it is a woman's nature to love beauty.

She is dressed up beautifully, and she is happy to look at herself, let alone others.

Yu Tang sat in front of the dressing mirror, watching her mother smear her with rose-colored lipstick, and felt that her face was whiter.

She looked up and smiled at her mother.

Chen touched her head lovingly, and said softly: "The sedan chair is ready, remember to be cautious when you go in." If Lao An people reward something, you will follow generously, and we will return the gift later. If you ask what you say, you will have one and two, and two will be two, and you would rather make people feel honest and deceitful, rather than be frivolous and rude. Got it? ”

Yu Tang nodded again and again, and the water in his eyes appeared.

In her previous life, her mother didn't live long enough to teach her this.

In this life, she is protected by her mother, father and brother, and she will definitely be able to go very smoothly.

She put her arms around her mother's waist, afraid of rubbing the powder on her mother's clothes, so she didn't dare to bury her head in her mother's arms, but leaned gently against her mother's side.

Chen told Shuangtao again: "In the baggage is the lady's change of clothes and jewelry, you have to go to jail." Don't even make any preparations when the young lady wants to change her clothes, which makes the Pei family laugh. Talk less, listen more and watch more, since you followed Miss into Pei's Mansion, it is the face of Miss and the face of our Yu family, if you do something wrong, you will say that the Yu family will not say you Shuangpeach. ”

"I know!" Shuangtao almost swore an oath, and said with a stiff face, "I will definitely not let the Pei family look down on me." ”

Yu Tang said: "Don't be nervous, you can usually go to Pei's house as you like." Treating people with sincerity is the best. ”

Shuang Tao promised, but he still didn't let go at all, but was more nervous than just now.

Yu Tang smiled, was protected by Ah Tao, and took Shuangtao to Pei's house.

Because it was to meet Pei Lao'an, the sedan chair stopped all the way to the Hanging Flower Gate.

It was an acquaintance who came to greet her - she had received Aunt Ji when she came to worship Old Lady Pei.

Aunt Ji and the shopkeeper Tong are still in-laws.

Yu Tang felt even more kind when he looked at it.

She sweetly shouted "Aunt Ji".

Aunt Ji was originally solemn, but when she saw her, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and when she heard Yu Tang calling her, she couldn't help but show a smile and said in a low voice: "Miss Yu, you come with me." ”

"Hmm!" Yu Tang responded, and couldn't help whispering: "Aunt Ji, are you now working on an errand in Lao Anren's house?" ”

Aunt Ji nodded and said, "After the old lady died, Lao An let some people out, and my family has been on an errand in the Pei family for several generations, so I must stay in the Pei Mansion." Lao An asked me to be a housekeeper in her old man's house. ”

In other words, because of serving Lao Anren, the old and young masters of the Pei family have to be respectful when they see her.

"Oops! Congratulations! Yu Tang was happy for her.

Aunt Ji smiled at her, feeling that the young lady of the Yu family had a really good temperament, she didn't say anything when she spoke and acted kindly, and she was always smiling, which made people happy when she looked at it, which was much better than the temperament of several young ladies in the family.

No wonder the third master always mentions this Miss Yu in front of Lao Anren, intentionally or unintentionally, and asks them, who serve around him, to instigate Lao Anren to take Miss Yu to the mansion to play.

Lao An people must like it when they see it.

Because there were familiar people and whispering again, Yu Tang felt that the quarter of an hour's journey had passed in the blink of an eye.

They stopped in front of a large five-room house, and waited in front of the black-lacquered window lattice, which was covered with white silk, and the little maid brought up the white brocade plywood curtain to enter the courtesy.

Soon, a fat white woman wearing a camphor velvet bikina came out to greet her with a smile: "It's Miss Yu, right?" I'm Aunt Chen in Lao Anren's house, Lao Anren has been waiting for you, follow me in. ”

Yu Tang saw that the mother-in-law was wearing a gold bracelet with a lotus stalk on her hand, guessing that she was probably the face-wrenching mother-in-law in Lao Anren's house, smiled and thanked her, and followed her into the house.

This is not yet the cold winter season, Lao Anren's house has already burned a fire, and a burst of hot air rushed over, and Yu Tang's forehead immediately sweated.

Aunt Ji hurriedly reminded her: "Give me the cloak, just ask me when you leave." ”

Yu Tang hurriedly took off his cloak and followed Aunt Chen into the second room in the east.

The second room and the top room on the east side are opened, and it is an open hall with two rooms. The Duobao Pavilion against the wall around it was full of books, and in the middle was an Arhat bed with a scarlet mattress. On the left side of the Luohan bed is a large vat of blue and white porcelain, with water lilies and koi carp, and in front of the vat stands a woman wearing a blue Hangzhou silk plain gown, tall and slender, with black hair, and a small bowl of sweet white porcelain in her hand, which is feeding the fish in the tank.

A few maids stood in the corner of the wall with low eyebrows and eyes, but Yu Tang didn't notice it when he came in.

"It's the young lady of the Yu family who is here!" The woman who heard the movement turned around.

Yu Tang was taken aback.

The woman looked five or six points similar to Pei Yan, her eyes were bright and bright, and she seemed to be able to see her viscera clearly when she looked at her, which made people tremble in front of her.

This is Pei Lao'an?!

The corners of Yu Tang's mouth opened slightly, and his expression looked a little silly.

With this momentum, although there are fine lines at the corners of his eyes and forehead, he looks like he is in his forties at most, and he doesn't look like he has a son as big as Master Pei, let alone a widowed old lady.

How did she do it?!

Yu Tang felt that he was still a widow at the beginning, and he didn't have Pei Lao'an's spirit and understanding.

Pei Laoan smiled when he looked at it.

It's really interesting.

No wonder his son was secretly plotting to call this little girl into the house to accompany her.

The maids around her look festive, but they don't know when it's true and when it's fake, a few little maids in the house look good and speak smartly, but they are too good at looking at their eyes, and they want to flatter her and hold their own identity. It's not as good as the maid around you to make people feel light.

Lao Anren handed the small bowl in his hand to the little maid serving beside him, took the hot handkerchief handed by Aunt Chen, wiped his hands, and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”
