Chapter 308: Xiao Zao
Of course, this matter was not spread by Pei Yan.
Although he dug a pit for Gu Chang to jump, Gu Chang jumped, and he stopped paying attention.
This matter was actually spread by Gu Xi.
Because her father was greedy for her mother's dowry, she was talked about by the elders of the clan since she was a child, and she had had enough of it.
This time, for her dowry, her father even played a scoundrel.
She didn't count on her father for a long time, and of course she didn't feel particularly sad, but when her brother's marriage with the Yin family was finalized, her father was angry with her brother and refuted his face, so he actually wanted to repeat the old tricks, and took advantage of his brother's marriage with the Yin family to embezzle the Yin family's dowry to give her face......
Although the result of this is to hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage to herself by 800, she is happy in her heart, and she actually feels that even if there are any consequences, she is willing to bear them. However, the maid Hexiang beside her was very worried, and said, "In case it is my uncle's family ......"
Gu Xi pursed his lips and said, "Do you think the Pei family is the kind of nouveau riche of the Li family?" The Pei family is face-saving, even if my morality is damaged and I am withdrawn, their kind of people will hide it to death, and they will not say that I am not a person in front of outsiders. ”
Isn't this just a gentleman deceiving him?
Hexiang was dumbfounded.
Gu Xi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "So, what kind of family to marry, you must keep your eyes open." ”
Hexiang bowed her head and did not speak.
Yu Tang finally sent away the two young ladies of the Pei family, and after two more account books, it was time to hold the lamp.
Shuangtao felt sorry for her, and stewed ginseng hen soup for her with Qingyuan.
Yu Tang drank the soup, and Miss Yang and Miss Pei Er came over and brought her some snacks from the capital. Yu Tang naturally invited them to drink soup. The two were a little surprised, and they politely refused, and Yu Tang then knew that Miss Yang and the others were going to play in the Ku'an Temple not far away tomorrow, so they asked her to go with them.
She looked at the stacked account books on the bookcase with some embarrassment, and could only politely refuse.
The two of them were not reluctant, and chatted with Yu Tang for a few words about the Buddha incense of Ku'an Temple, and then got up to say goodbye.
Yu Tang felt that the two of them didn't just come to invite her to Ku'an Temple, otherwise they would ask Miss Pei Si and Miss Pei Wu when they came over in the afternoon.
She couldn't help but ask Qingyuan: "Can you know what they are here for?" ”
Qingyuan responded with a smile, and after a while, he heard the news: "Tomorrow, Miss Yang will see each other, and she will be in Ku'an Temple." I'm afraid I want to ask the young lady to go with me. There are more people, and this matter is less eye-catching. ”
Yu Tang asked with interest about the person Miss Yang was going to marry.
Qingyuan is worthy of being the maid in Pei Yan's house, knowing that she can take one step and look at two steps, and inquire clearly about all the questions that Yu Tang may ask, so that when Yu Tang asks, she will not be unable to answer.
This may be the difference between an ordinary maid and a first-class maid.
"The surname is Yan. said that he was a showman, but his family background was very solid. Qingyuan said slowly, "He Yi Lao An's side was originally out of the five suits, because he was a showman, maybe he wanted to make achievements in his career, so he thought of a way to climb the relationship with Yi Lao An, and Yi Lao An's mother's family walked very closely." The reason why the Yang family agreed to the Yan family's marriage this time was also for the sake of Old Lady Yi's face. The Yang family entrusted this meeting to Yi Lao'an. Yi Lao'an people don't like to be a matchmaker very much, and when they heard that our Lao'an people came over, they entrusted it to our Lao'an people. That's why we have the look of Ku'an Temple. ”
Yu Tang nodded.
Qingyuan reminded her with a smile: "If everything goes well tomorrow, Miss Yang will leave for Beijing in two days." Do you want to bring something to Miss Xu? ”
Yu Tang didn't expect that Miss Yang and Miss Xu had a good relationship.
Qingyuan smiled and said, "Miss Yang and Miss Xu can only be regarded as acquaintances. However, the Yang family and our Pei family will also be considered in-laws in the future, and if the in-laws do a favor or something, I think Miss Yang must be very willing. ”
Yu Tang also missed Miss Xu a little, and she excitedly discussed with Qingyuan what to send to Miss Xu.
Miss Yang and Miss Pei Er walked out of Yu Tang's yard, and couldn't help but glance back at the red-lacquered gate, and then smiled: "I didn't expect the chef in Miss Yu's yard to be so good, the chicken soup was so thick and fresh, I almost bit my tongue when I drank it." There is also the fruit that is served, not to mention the pattern of a happy eyebrow, and it is very sweet. This was done by the people brought by Miss Yu, or by the people of your family. ”
The Pei family's courtyard is very large, and the courtyards of several guest residences are all with small kitchens.
Miss Yang's yard is also brought, but the mother-in-law who needs the stove has to talk to the housekeeper of the Pei family. But in this way, it is necessary to go up and down. She only lived here for a few days, although the Yang family was not short of this silver, but she didn't want to be so eye-catching.
Miss Pei Er also noticed it just now, but her relationship with Yu Tang is average, and she doesn't know much about Yu Tang, Miss Yang is Yang Gongzi's stepsister, and the relationship is not particularly good, she is afraid that she will make Yang Gongzi unhappy if she is too good to Miss Yang, so she replied a little perfunctory: "It should be the person she brought herself, right?" This kind of craftsmanship is in our house, and it is also the person who serves several housekeepers, even in our house, there is no such person in our house. ”
Miss Yang was a little unconvinced.
Since she came to Pei Mansion as a guest, she would not be completely unprepared.
Yu Tang She also inquired.
The Yu family is not a family with such ability.
The next day, Miss Yang, who was hanging out in Ku'an Temple and waiting for someone, talked about this incident again, and invited several young ladies of the Pei family: "Let's go back and go to Miss Yu's to ask for a bowl of chicken soup to drink, right?" ”
The fourth lady clapped her hands when she heard this, and asked the fifth miss in confusion: "How did Grandmother Auntie come up with the idea of asking Sister Yu to help her read the account book?" Sister Yu can't play with us? ”
The fifth lady guessed randomly: "It should be Sister Yu's calculations, isn't their family in business?" Those who do business seem to be quite good at counting. ”
The fourth lady nodded when she listened.
The third lady couldn't laugh and cry, took the hands of the fourth and fifth misses, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the sun is really big today, let's go to the gazebo in front to rest." ”
Miss Four and Miss Five were distracted and ran away with a grin.
Miss Yang was thoughtful.
The sun is indeed a bit sunny.
Yu Tang sat in the house, Qingyuan specially called two little maids to help her fan, she was about to sweat a little when she played the abacus vest, which was very uncomfortable.
She simply stood up, pushed open the window and blew the wind.
Pei Yan walked in.
He wore a moon-white plain muslin robe, and only had a green bamboo hairpin on his head, his face was white and sweatless, which made people feel refreshed when he looked at it.
When they got closer, there was a faint and unknown fragrance on their bodies, giving people a sense of cleanliness and immaculateness.
How can anyone be so clean?
Yu Tang thought with jealousy, and saw Pei Yan raise the bamboo basket he was holding in his hand, and said, "Do you want to go fishing together?" ”
"Huh?!" Yu Tang's eyes widened.
Two days ago, Pei Lao'an also asked them not to approach the river, for fear that they would fall into the river without knowing the depth.
Pei Yan laughed low in her ear, seducing and bewitching her: "Don't be afraid, I will swim!" ”
The deep voice, as if with a hook, tugged at her heartstrings.
Yu Tang took a while to react to what he said, and said with some hesitation: "Can it be done?" ”
"What's not to do?" Pei Yan smiled slyly at her, "You've read more than half of these account books. ”
Yu Tang looked at the big sun outside, suddenly remembered something, and said busily: "It's already so hot before the Dragon Boat Festival, will it be extraordinarily hot this summer, will there be a drought or something?" ”
At this time in her previous life, she had just married into the Li family, and the Lin family suddenly turned her face, she was all kinds of uncomfortable, she was busy dealing with the personnel of the Li family every day, and she paid little attention to the outside world.
The Pei family has a lot of land, and maybe which granges will suffer.
Pei Yan laughed when he heard this, and said, "I didn't expect you to watch the sky." Yes, this year, the Pleiades moved westward, the main fire, and there should be disaster prevention in the west. I'll get the head of the Grange to take notice. ”
Yu Tang didn't understand a word, and said embarrassedly: "I just said it casually." ”
"It can be seen that your intuition is quite smart." Pei Yan continued to praise her, stuffed the bamboo basket into her hand, and said, "Take it, it's up to you later." ”
Yu Tang only saw others fishing a few times when she went out with Yu Wen when she was a child, and then in those calligraphy and paintings, she saw that the bamboo basket was quite new, exuding the fragrance of green bamboo, and couldn't help but hold it in her arms, and said, "Why do you want to look at me?" Are we going to use this basket to catch fish? I won't! ”
She didn't want to.
Those with bamboo baskets were standing barefoot in the stream.
Painting and reality are two different things.
The creek in the painting is clear and clean, and in reality, the creek will have a lot of aquatic plants or small fish and insects that she doesn't know, and she has been afraid of these things since she was a child.
Pei Yan looked at her face like saying "I don't do it", and felt that it was particularly interesting, laughed, and didn't know where to conjure up a bamboo hat and put it on her head, and said, "I'm in charge of fishing, and you're in charge of lifting fish, is this fair?" How many fish we can bring back depends on how many you can bring back! ”
But she didn't want to mention the fish.
The fish is fishy and sticky.
Isn't he pretty clean? Why don't you talk about it at this time?
Yu Tang was aggrieved behind Pei Yan, racking his brains to think of a way to get out.
But until they arrived at a pavilion by a small river along the tree-lined road, she didn't think of a way to get out, but Pei Yan was about to laugh in her heart.
He has always thought Yu Tang is interesting, unlike ordinary girls, but when he really got in touch with her, he found that this little girl was even more interesting than he knew.
Just dare to be angry and dare not speak, with a puffed out bun-like face but eyes rolling around, it is enough for him to laugh for half a year.
"That's it!" He pretended to have a straight face, and said lightly, "There are more mosquitoes here, and there must be a lot of fish!" ”
Then he saw Yu Tang glaring at him quietly, and touched his arm in fear.
It's really interesting!
Pei Yan instructed Ah Ming, who came out: "Take out the earthworm and hang it on the hook." ”
