It was Ah Tao who came to deliver the letter to Yu Tang.

Seeing Yu Tang, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Miss, it was the young owner who asked me to come." He said, "He has received your letter, and he will do as you wish." He also said that everything is fine at home, so you don't have to worry, and the business is done. When you get back, celebrate again. With that, he took out a letter from his pocket.

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, opened the letter, and immediately read it.

In addition to the words that Ah Tao said, Yu Yuan also praised Zhang Gongzi's ten paintings in the letter, saying that the merchant was very satisfied, and he also came up with ten taels of silver to buy the paintings. Yu Yuan wrote to her for two meanings. One is to do this business - the merchant is engaged in embroidery business, and came to their house to buy boxes and cages to make the goods of the family shop more complete, so that the embroidery business is better, so the business of the two families not only has no conflict, but also promotes each other. The second is to discuss with her, if she sells the painting to that merchant, do you want to give the Zhang family silver? How much silver is good for Zhang Gongzi?

And because the merchant was going to leave Lin'an and return to his hometown in the next few days, the prepared cage was sent by their family, and this matter had to be decided before the merchant left Lin'an.

Yu Tang thought about it for a long time and replied to Yu Yuan.

It is okay to sell paintings, and the silver from selling paintings can be divided in half with the Zhang family, but you have to write a contract with the merchant, these ten paintings are unique to their Yu family, and the merchant takes them, and they are only used in their shop, and they are not allowed to be resold. If you must resell, you can tell the Yu family in the form of a document, and get the consent of the Yu family, you need to pay the silver again.

Because it was not early, it would take at least an hour and a half to return to Lin'ancheng, so Ah Wan took the letter and immediately got up to say goodbye and returned to Yu's house.

Pei Yan knew that in addition to Yu Tang living in the other courtyard, Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi were also in the other courtyard, and there were outsiders there, so it was not good for him to go directly to greet Lao Anren, so he went back to the courtyard where he lived first, and after freshening up and changing clothes, he sent someone to ask Lao An when it would be convenient to see him.

It's just that the person who sent out hasn't replied yet, and he heard that someone from the Yu family has come to deliver a letter to Yu Tang.

He couldn't help but be surprised.

Yu Tang's letter was sent back, and the people at home immediately replied to her, and she couldn't wait even a day, it couldn't be that something happened at home, right?

Pei Yan thought of Mrs. Yu's illness, and thought of the thirty acres of fertile land bought by the Yu family......

He called Hu Xing, who was serving Lao Anren here, to come in: "What happened to Miss Yu's side?" ”

Hu Xing has been helping Lao An people wholeheartedly in the other courtyard these days, and he knows which dishes he eats more and which dishes he eats less every day, and he hasn't heard of what happened to Miss Yu!

He was stunned.

Pei Yan was originally dissatisfied with his ability to do things, but later because he saw that he had fallen in love with Lao Anren, and Lao Anren also needed someone who could be used easily, he turned a blind eye and let him continue to eat in the position of the head manager. Now seeing him like this, Pei Yan is even more dissatisfied, and even this dissatisfaction is directly manifested on his face.

He snapped, "What? Don't you know? ”

A few days ago, the third master killed all the men over the age of five who had served the eldest master's family for many years, and all the women and children were sold. The whole family was trembling, and they all talked in private that the third master was neither as kind as the old lady nor as tolerant as the Lao'an people, not at all like the people of the Pei family, and some people envied Hu Xing's blessing in disguise and went to serve the Lao'an people in advance.

Hu Xing couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard this, but he was terrified. At this time, when Pei Yan asked like this, he shivered, his legs were weak, and he almost knelt down, and it took a long time to make a sound, and he stammered: "Miss Yu and a few young ladies are having a good time, getting up early and going to bed early, occasionally walking along Mingshan Lake, and just now I went to Meilin with a few young ladies to enjoy the plum blossoms...... "He was about to cry, "Really, I really didn't find anything wrong with her!" Then, his intuition couldn't help but make him bold again, "Besides, Miss Yu is a boudoir lady, even if I want to know something, Miss Yu won't talk to me!" ”

Pei Yan's expression was slightly gloomy.

Hu Xing secretly wiped his cold sweat, feeling like he had escaped death.

But then, he began to reflect on how he could say that he couldn't get close to Miss Yu, and why Pei Yan's expression was slightly gloomy because of his words......

For a moment, he felt as if he knew something terrible.

Hu Xing's eyes were different when he looked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan didn't take Hu Xing in his eyes, so naturally he didn't pay attention to his slightly changing expressions.

He thought for a while and said, "Miss Yu, are they still enjoying the plum blossoms in Meilin?" ”

Hu Xing hurriedly said: "Yes, I also wrote poetry." ”

Finally, I can still answer a few words, which is a bit useful!

Pei Yan glanced at Hu Xing expressionlessly, and said, "You quietly bring a letter to Miss Yu and ask her to wait for me next to Merlin for a while, I have something to ask her." ”

Don't look at indecent acts, right?

Why did you ask him to bring the letter?

Hu Xing was very bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half a point, not only to bow his head respectfully, but also to make a happy face with merit, and said loudly: "I'll go!" ”

Pei Yan snorted coldly.

Yu Tang didn't think much about it when he got the letter, whispered a few words to Lao Anren, and then found an excuse to get out of the warm pavilion.

The fifth lady happened to have a six-character quatrain, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but say, "Sister Yu, what are you going to do?" ”

Several people made poems together, Gu Xi was the first to do a good job, the third miss was second, the third was Yu Tang, the second and fifth misses followed, and the fourth miss was still there bowing her head to write poems.

Everyone is ready to write it and take it to Lao Anren, Mrs. Shen, and the second wife for comment.

Lao An didn't think much about it.

Since Yu Tang knew the strangeness of the Li family's land sale, Pei Yan must also know it.

She guessed that Pei Yan should have asked Yu Tang about it.

It's just that this matter is not good for these little girls to know, so her old man also made a sloppy eye, and said with a smile: "Who hasn't done something yet, you kid, you have to pretend not to know when you should pretend to be confused, and when you should ask, just say it, you still have to practice before you can let go out." After speaking, he also glanced at the second wife.

The second wife smiled and responded: "Don't worry, I will teach her well." ”

Lao Anren said "um", and the matter was revealed.

Gu Xi's heart turned a thousand times.

The little maid of the Yu family came to find Yu Tang obviously because there was something, but when Yu Tang came back, she only said that her family came to ask her about the things in the shop, and even what Lao An wanted to know was stopped outside, and now she left the poetry meeting with such a swagger, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that things were not simple.

And Hexiang thought more complicated than Gu Xi.

She found an opportunity to lean into Gu Xi's ear and whispered, "Miss, the third master has gone up the mountain." ”

Yu Xi raised the corners of his eyebrows.

He Xiang knew that she wanted to hear more details, so she quickly said: "I just went to inquire about Miss Yu and found out, the third master has not come to greet Lao An, I heard that he will come over after dinner." ”

So what is Yu Tang going to do?

Gu Xi felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

The second lady has not yet found out how Yu Tang suddenly appeared.

She gave Lotus a look.

Hexiang understood and quietly left the warm pavilion.

After a while, the fourth lady's poem was finished.

The second miss joked to the fourth miss: "We are all waiting for you!" ”

The fourth lady pouted dissatisfiedly: "Didn't I say that I wanted to barbecue?" You're going to make poems, and I'm not prepared at all. ”

"How are you going to prepare?" It was rare for the third lady to joke with the fourth miss, "Before you come, familiarize yourself with Bai and Li?" ”

Bai refers to Bai Juyi, and Li refers to Li Bai.

The fourth lady retorted weakly: "Isn't it okay? ”

Everyone laughed.

Lao An said: "Then let's read the poems of the four girls first." ”

The fourth lady squirmed and asked the little maid serving beside her to hand over the poem.

Gu Xi said, "Aren't we waiting for Miss Yu?" ”

Lao Anren smiled: "It's not early, don't you still want to eat barbecue?" Don't wait for her. ”

Gu Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and stepped forward to watch the poems made by the fourth lady, but her mind was half paying attention to when Hexiang would come back.

It was just a stick of incense, and the lotus fragrance quietly appeared in the warm pavilion.

This time, there was no need for Hexiang to find a chance, Gu Xi directly said that she was going to the official room and took Hexiang to sit in the unmanned plum forest.

Hexiang's face was a little solemn.

She said: "Miss, what's the matter with Miss Yu, she went to see the third master!" ”

Gu Xi was stunned, but there was an inexplicable sense of steadiness in his heart.

She said in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know exactly what's going on." Hexiang said in a low voice, "When I came out of the warm pavilion, I slowly looked for it in the direction where Miss Yu went, and found that the road was the pavilion next to Mingshan Lake. In addition to Miss Yu, there was also a young man in a white cloak in the pavilion. I wanted to get closer, but I found seven or eight guards standing in the dark around the gazebo, and I was startled, saying that it was your personal maid, and you told me to go back to the house and get something, but I got lost, so I got out. After that, I met Mr. Hu again, and after a few tentative words, I learned that the young man was the third master of the Pei family. ”

Gu Xi was silent for a long time and said, "What does the third master look like?" ”

Hexiang's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "He looks very handsome and has an elegant temperament...... Of all the people I've met, only the eldest prince can compete with him. ”

Gu Chang is a famous beautiful man in Hangzhou.

Gu Xi's face was also a little hot.

But thinking of Yu Tang, she couldn't help frowning.

What does Pei Yan do?

He met with Miss Yu in private, didn't Lao Anren know? Or do you know but give the two of them a sloppy look?

In what capacity did Miss Yu appear in front of Pei Yan?

Speaking of which, she and her brother were still careless, they didn't expect that there would be a woman like Miss Yu in Lin'an City.

Did she go with Miss Yu? Or find a way to make Miss Yu disappear from Pei's Mansion?

Gu Xi was a little undecided for a while.

She said to Hexiang: "See if you can find a way to know the relationship between Miss Yu and Master Pei San." Especially if the Lao An people know ......"

If Lao An people know, then what is the idea of the Pei family?

That's what she should pay attention to and care about.

Gu Xi let out a long sigh.
