Chapter 151: Asking for help

When Yu Tang got home, he wrote a letter and asked Ah Tao to go to Zhang's house.

Ma Xiuniang received Yu Tang's letter and began to urge Zhang Hui to paint and not mention it for the time being, but Yu Tang met Pei Yan the next day after a headache.

Rizhao's case must not be mentioned, otherwise she has no way to explain how she knows, so she can only spend effort on the fifty acres of Yongye field.

Fortunately, there are enough flaws left by the Li family.

The next day, Yu Tang changed into a newly made dark green woven silver and pink four-season Ruyi tuanhua Hangzhou silk gown, and wore the goose yellow magnolia silk flower he had just made a few days ago and went to Pei's house.

Pei Yan looked tired, his expression was a little wilted, but it did not damage his handsomeness, but because he lost his usual dignity, he made people feel approachable, cordial and warm.

"What are you looking for me to do?" He sat on the Luohan couch in the warm pavilion very casually, pointed to the fruit plate brought by the little maid, and said, "Taste it, Fujian's blessing cakes, everyone says they are delicious." ”

Fujian's Fu cake is a kind of persimmon cake made in Fujian, because the color is bright, red, sweet but not greasy to eat in the mouth, and there is the effect of clearing heat and moistening the lungs and flattening cough and asthma, it is very good to use it as a snack or even soak in water to drink, and it has the name of a blessing cake.

However, the blessing cake is usually listed in the lunar month, and this time is ...... It's too early.

I don't know where I got it?

Yu Tang couldn't help but say, "I heard that you went to sell oranges?" How did it sell? Is it tasty? ”

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and stared at Yu Tang with a rather unkind gaze: "Selling oranges? Who did you hear that I went to sell oranges? ”

Yu Tang knew it was going to be bad when she heard it, but she didn't know how the words got to her and became a "orange seller". No matter who said the wrong thing, with Pei Yan's temperament, if he was unhappy, he might really go to investigate this matter. Won't it make everyone unhappy when the time comes?

In line with the attitude of calming things down, she hurriedly said: "I said the wrong thing!" I mean, I heard that the oranges grown in the Grange in Ji'an are on the market, didn't you go over and check them? I also took it for granted that since I started harvesting oranges so early, I must have already thought about how to sell them. Isn't this a 'selling of oranges'? ”

Yu Tang felt that his words were enough to give Pei Yan a step, but who knew that Pei Yan raised his eyebrows again as if he was going to deliberately slap her, and said, "Who told you that I didn't go to sell oranges?" A total of 5,000 catties of oranges were sold to Shanglin Yuan, and 5,000 saplings were also sold. ”

If it weren't for him, could the people in Shanglin Yuan be so honest, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other?

Can their oranges be sold in the capital?

Yu Tang's jaw dropped in shock, and he said, "Shanglin Yuan still buys oranges?" ”

She was envious.

Why doesn't their family have such skills?

But even if it is for the palace people to eat, it is also the matter of the eunuchs in the twenty-four yamen, when will it be the turn of Shanglin Yuan, who planted trees and flowers for the royal family?

"You don't understand that, do you?" Pei Yan said indifferently, "If the royal garden has income, will the emperor be happy?" Not to mention the oranges that bear fruit so early. ”

In other words, Shanglin Yuan is cheating!

Yu Tang stumbled and said, "Aren't they, aren't they afraid of being discovered?" What if the emperor wants to go and see the orange tree? ”

"The emperor is busy practicing Dan, how can he have time to care about how many orange trees Shanglin Yuan has planted!" Pei Yan said disappreciably, "In case he really wants to go, just find a way to move a few orange trees from my orchard in Tongzhou." Otherwise, how could they buy oranges from our family? Isn't it because our family's grange in Tongzhou also grows oranges. But it's not as delicious as the oranges here. ”

Yu Tang has been confused by this wave of operations, in her opinion, this is completely a way to work hard and lose money. But it is not one or two things that the government has done to work the people and hurt money, and she has no intention of attacking or saying more.

She didn't expect that the Pei family still had a grange in Tongzhou?!

Where is the Pei family still without a grange?

Yu Tang sneered in his heart, changed the topic, and said, "Won't this blessing cake also be dried by your Grange?" ”

Pei Yan noticed Yu Tang's ruddy face when he entered the door, thinking about what Pei Man told him, she not only won the favor of his mother, but also got along well with several of his nieces. The first time we met, I chatted with her about what style of clothes to make for a long time, and was rewarded by his mother.

You know, his mother is not an ordinary woman, and not everyone can win her favor.

He just wanted her to come in and make his mother happy, but he never thought that it would be like a fish in water for her.

Look at this, when he was so busy in Ji'an that her feet didn't touch the ground, she was quite leisurely at his house.

Inexplicably, Pei Yan was a little embarrassed, wanting to tease Yu Tang, not wanting her to look like everything was going well in front of him.

Hearing this, he couldn't help pursing his lips and said: "Our family's hands are not as long as you think, Fujian is the place of the Peng family, the Yin family, and the Li family, and I am not prepared to be enemies of these families at the same time." This blessed cake was sent by the Li family. It is said that it is made for your own family, and it is very different from what is sold in the market, so you can taste the difference. ”

Yu Tang listened to his tone, as if he didn't like to eat these sweets very much, so where did the peanut crisp she made go?

Was it all for show?

She couldn't help but say, "So what do you like to eat?" If my mom knows how to do it, I'll give it to you next time. ”

Pei Yan looked dispensable and said, "I don't have anything I particularly like to eat, or I don't particularly like to eat." If you have something fresh, try it. I don't like to eat Fu Cakes, mainly because Lao An people don't know where I heard about it, eating more Fu Cakes can cure cough, and I have been cooking persimmon water every day since I was a child, and I feel uncomfortable smelling it. ”

Yu Tang suddenly met a confidant, and hurriedly said: "Then I am the same as you." My mother always thinks that children have a bad stomach, so they have to drink porridge. Ever since I was a child, my mom loved to let me drink porridge, and when I grew up, I didn't want to serve a bowl when I looked at it. ”

Still growing up?

It's only a few years old, no matter how long it is, it's only a dozen years.

Pei Yan was very happy to hear her say funny, and talked to Yu Tang without saying a word, until Chen Qi sent the account book over to let Pei Yan look at it, Pei Yan remembered it, and asked Yu Tang seriously: "What is the matter with you coming to me?"

Chen Qi on the side glanced at Yu Tang a few more times.

The third master is the most impatient to gossip, why is he so happy with a little girl today.

However, this little girl is young, but she speaks and does things in a good way, could it be that the third master has taken a fancy to this young lady?

When he left the study, he went to inquire about Yu Tang's origin.

It is no secret that Yu Tang accompanies Lao Anren, although he did not make a big deal of it, he did not deliberately avoid it, and soon, Chen Qi inquired about the causes and consequences of her entering the mansion.

Everything is good, but the door is a little low.

Chen Qi pondered in his heart.

Yu Tang and Pei Yan didn't think so much, Yu Tang told Pei Yan about the intention of this time: "You told me before that the Li family was in urgent need of money for activities in Beijing, I felt that the Li family was too anxious, since it was a temporary need, with the reputation of the Li family, it was to carry an empty box and paste a seal to the pawnshop to do a job, there must be a pawnshop willing to sell the Li family's favor, why do you have to sell the fifty acres of Yongye land?" However, I heard a news a few days ago that the things that Li Jun had escorted back from Rizhao on his father's orders were indeed in a rut. I've been thinking about it at home for the past few days. Could this be a trick, you say? No one else knows how many families the Li family has, but the people in Lin'an City are all watching their family make a fortune. If Li Yi was really greedy for silver in Rizhao, he would have to think of a way to launder the silver, right? ”

Pei Yan listened, the lightness on his face slowly began to converge, and by the time Yu Tang finished speaking, Pei Yan had already sat up straight and looked at Yu Tang with a solemn expression: "What do you mean by this?" Do you want to press Li Duan into the mud and rub it again? ”

Yu Tang's face turned red when he heard this.

And she did.

But Pei Yan said it too bluntly.

When others heard this, they thought that the two of them were discussing how to make money and kill them!

She blinked her eyes and said, "I heard that the Li family is about to move to Hangzhou City, and Li Duan is also going to go to the capital to study with his father." If they really left Lin'an City, the revenge of the second son of the Wei family would not be avenged? ”

Pei Yan couldn't quite understand it, and said: "Li Duan has already dressed the second son of the Wei family with filial piety, and the marriage between Li Duan and the Gu family has also failed, do you think this is not enough?" ”

He felt that Yu Tang was too persistent.

She and the second son of the Nawei family just got married, and they didn't even get married.

Could it be that Miss Yu has taken a fancy to the second son of the Wei family?

Pei Yan touched his chin.

Yu Tang said: "Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?" I just hate someone again, at most, I just curse him in private that he won't die well. The Li family can harm the second son of the Wei family without hesitation for their own interests, which shows that their family is not a good thing! And our family, if it weren't for your protection this time, maybe we would end up with the same fate as the second son of the Wei family, and maybe even the family would be ruined! Why should I let such people go? ”

Pei Yan looked at her angry little face, and suddenly thought that he was bullied because he was jealous of his classmates when he was a child, he not only fought back, but also beat the water dog, not only so that the people who bullied him never dared to provoke him again, but even the people watching the excitement next to him did not dare to provoke him easily. However, his father felt that he was not broad-minded enough, and reprimanded him fiercely for this...... Thinking about it this way, he felt that it seemed understandable for Yu Tang to do this.

After all, Yu Wen is just a little showman, if he can pull down an official family like the Li family, others will definitely not dare to bully their family casually in the future.

"Say it! How do you want me to help you? Pei Yan said happily, "I'll have to reconcile with the account room later." ”

The implication is that Yu Tang should not waste his time.

Yu Tang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Can you help me find out what Li Duan's father did when he was an official in Rizhao." It's impossible for an ordinary person to be a prefect and send so many things back, right? ”

She actually wanted to ask, the same piece of land, why only the 200 acres of Yongye field of the Li family can grow green stem rice? If he is interested, she can take out the thirty acres of land she got for the Pei family to study, and maybe the Pei family's land can also grow bistem rice.

It's just that Pei Yan just said such a thing on the front foot, and she mentioned this matter on the back foot, which is easy for people to misunderstand that she wants to exchange conditions with the Pei family, but she has disappointed Pei Yan's kindness.
