Chapter 118: Rumors
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this, but what kind of character is Pei Yan? How could it be possible to hesitate to answer her questions?
Yu Tang was puzzled, feeling that he seemed to say this to perfunctory her and her father.
Just before she could think about it, Pei Yan had already said, "What are you going to do in the county?" ”
The surprise in Yu Tang's heart deepened.
Pei Yan didn't look like a person who cared about these details.
When he asked, it seemed like he was changing the subject.
So what's wrong with Gu Chang visiting Shen Shanyan?
Yu Tang was very curious. However, thinking that Pei Yan was unlikely to answer her confusion, Yu Tang didn't ask, talked about why he went to the county school, and specifically mentioned Li Jun: "I didn't expect him to return to Lin'an City." ”
Rizhao is quite far away from Lin'an, and it will take at least three months to come back once and for all, and few people come back so quickly like Li Jun, not to mention that he is under the guise of going to study to outsiders.
Pei Yan was obviously stunned.
This made Yu Tang's curiosity even stronger.
The Gu family called Li Duan to teach him a lesson, and Gu Chang and Li Jun appeared in Lin'an City one after another, to say that there was no connection between them, Yu Tang felt impossible. Looking at Pei Yan's reaction again, there is obviously something strange in this.
She thought that Pei Yan liked others to talk directly, and wondered whether to ask Pei Yan at this time or ask him behind her father's back, so she saw Ah Ming running in and said, "Third master, Master Gu and Mr. Shen are here to visit you!" ”
They came over so soon!
Not only Yu Tang, but also Yu Wen, is also a little dazed.
However, Pei Yan, as if he had expected it, nodded quietly, and said apologetically to the Yu father and daughter: "I'm sorry, I'll go see them and come over." ”
Yu Wen and Yu Tang hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "It's rare for Lord Gu to come to Lin'an City, and we don't have anything important, so I'll come to visit you when you're done." ”
Pei Yan didn't force them to stay, and called Pei Man to send them out, and he went to see Gu Chang and Shen Shanyan.
On the way back, Yu Wen discussed with Yu Tang in a low voice: "How do I think that the relationship between Master Pei San and the eldest young master of the Gu family is not as simple as an ordinary acquaintance. What do you think? Could it be that I'm too careful? ”
Yu Tang couldn't help but give his father a thumbs up in his heart.
Not only did she feel like this, but she also felt that Pei Yan had something else on her mind.
It's just that she feels that at the level of the Pei family, Pei Yan's predicament and pain are not something that people at their level can share, and it is better not to know than to peep next to them and cause unnecessary trouble.
"I didn't feel it." Yu Tang smiled and coaxed his father, "Maybe it's because both of them are teenagers and promising, and they are always compared to each other when they have anything, so although they are not familiar with each other and have no friendship, they both know each other, right?" “
She guessed irresponsibly, but she persuaded her father without thinking.
Yu Wen nodded and said, "You have a point. Then he put this matter behind him, and asked Yu Tang and Yu Yuan when they were going to return to the Yu family's old house: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, you might as well stay in the old house for a few days." I don't expect you to know everything about the crops, at least you have to know what will affect the harvest in the field, and leave it to you later, no one can fool you! ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "These two days will pass." ”
As for staying in the old mansion for a few days, it depends on whether her brother is willing or not!
Yu Yuan had just gotten married, and of course he didn't want to leave the Xiang family at home, but he went to the old mansion for a few days. Yu Tang instigated him to bring the Xiang family with him: "Sister-in-law grew up in the grange, maybe she is more familiar with these things than us, and we can also ask for advice one or two when the time comes." ”
Yu Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately used this as an excuse to win the opportunity to bring the Xiang family when he returned to the old mansion.
Although the Wang family is shrewd, this shrewdness is mostly put on outsiders, but it is very lenient to the people at home, and Yu Yuan's flawed excuse did not make the Wang family have any suspicion and agreed. Not only that, but she also told Xiang's to take care of Yu Tang: "You are a sister-in-law!" ”
Xiangshi naturally knew why she followed Yu Yuan out, she couldn't cry or laugh at the same time, her heart was also sweet, not only respectfully responded to her mother-in-law's words, but also prepared a lot of food in the morning, and kept beckoning Yu Tang to eat on the way there.
Yu Tang smiled and took Xiang's arm, and sincerely asked her about the things in the grange.
Xiang didn't hide his secrets, told her one by one, and said, "You don't have to worry too much. If anything happens in the future, you can come and ask me directly. ”
Yu Tang couldn't stop nodding, and when he arrived at the Yu family's old house to settle down in the Xiang family, he and Yu Yuan went to the mountains and forests to see the sea buckthorn trees transplanted from the Pei family.
The tree grew lush and green, and it seemed to have survived, but it was supposed to bear fruit, but it didn't even have a flower bone. The old man who watched the forest muttered there: "Where is this like fruit, I think the eldest young master and young lady should not be deceived!" ”
Although Yu Tang can't make up her mind, she can make such a decision entirely because Pei Yan succeeded in her previous life, so even if she hears someone nagging now, she is not discouraged. He Yuyuan walked around the mountains, and then went to the fields to take a look, and talked to the experienced old farmers before they returned to the old house.
Xiang had already instructed the accompanying mother-in-law to make lunch, and after lunch, Yu Yuan took them to fish in the ditch...... A few days in the Yu family's old house didn't look like going to do things, but like going to play. When I returned to the city, I loaded a small half car of wild cherries, wild ducks, callus white and other things.
Chen laughed and scolded them for being "naughty", and asked Mrs. Chen to help them unload the car.
Yu Tang pointed to one of the bamboo baskets and said, "This is sent to the Pei family, don't throw it into the kitchen together." ”
Chen lifted the blue printed coarse cloth covered by the bamboo basket and looked at it, and said, "This is a wild duck egg, right?" It's a waste for you to send it over like this, so it's better to pickle the salted egg and send it over - this kind of wild duck egg, the yolk will definitely be able to pickle the sand. ”
Yu Tang didn't know much about this, so he naturally disposed of it with Chen.
It has not been three months since Xiang got married, and when he was about to behave in front of his in-laws, he smiled and said that he could stay and help Chen: "My aunt's family also raises a lot of ducks, and we often pickle salted eggs." ”
Chen was happy to give face to his new daughter-in-law, so he didn't say anything with a smile, and praised Xiang's well: "It's hard for you to be so enthusiastic, I'll let Mrs. Chen go and tell your mother-in-law, you will have lunch with me at noon and then go back." ”
Yu Yuan felt sorry for his wife and wanted Xiangshi to go back to rest quickly, but Yu Tang glanced at him, so he had to take Xiang's hand comfortingly, followed Yu Tang to the study, and asked Yu Tang as soon as he stepped in the door: "What do you want to say?" Why didn't you say it on the road before? ”
It's true that if you have a wife, you won't have a sister!
Yu Tang grimaced at Yu Yuan and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's find a chance to go to Suzhou City!" I would like to inquire about the maritime business. ”
I don't know what the reason is, there are more people doing maritime business in Suzhou than in Hangzhou.
Yu Yuan's heart jumped, and he felt that his sister was going to be a demon again, and his voice was a little nervous: "You, what are you asking about this?" Didn't you say before, our family doesn't do this business? At that time, the third master of the family still introduced us to the Song family? Didn't you refuse? ”
Yu Tang wanted to take advantage of this time to catch the Jiang family's boat.
She whispered: "I don't want to do maritime business, I just want to buy a small share, make a little money, and only use our own private money." I think that if our mountain forest is to be repaired, I am afraid it will take a lot of silver. ”
If you take the money directly from Yu Bo's hand, then what kind of self-reliance is it?
The most important thing is that Yu Wen treated everyone equally, and after auctioning the map, he gave her and Yu Yuan two thousand taels of silver each.
These words touched Yu Yuan.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law." ”
Is this also to be discussed?
Yu Tang was dumbfounded.
Yu Yuan said abruptly: "We finally went to Suzhou City, so that your sister-in-law can also meet the world." ”
All right!
In her brother's mind, her sister-in-law is the biggest.
Yu Tang glared at Yu Yuan, but there was envy in his heart that slowly overflowed.
In the afternoon, Xiang helped Chen's pickle salted eggs, and Wang's came over to join in the fun.
Everyone was in the patio with the ashes of the grass and trees.
Wang and Chen chatted: "You say, is Master Li flat or promoted this time?" The Li family's sect separated the Li Duan family, and I don't know if I regret it? ”
Only then did Yu Tang know that Li Duan's father, Li Yi, had completed his three-year term and returned to the capital to report on his work. The new Rizhao prefect has taken office, will Li Yi stay in the capital or continue to be released? Whether it is a level upgrade or a flat tone, there has been a lot of discussion in Lin'an City in the past few days, and everyone is staring at the Li Mansion. And the reason why Li Jun came back was to bring back some of Li Yi's previous things in Rizhao.
Everyone is saying, "What is it, I'm afraid it's the silver that I'm greedy for?" Didn't you say that you have been in the county for three years, and 100,000 snowflakes of silver? Master Li is the prefect, and he has been the prefect of several places! ”
The Chen family didn't care much about this, but if the Li family could continue to maintain the status quo, it would be more beneficial to the Yu family.
She smiled indifferently with the ashes of the grass and trees: "Anyway, I think the Li family is doing something inappropriate." Look at Lin'an City, it's not that no one has ever been an official, but who is like theirs, and it is rumored that they have shipped silver back? ”
Li Duan was furious at the rumors.
He was angry at Li Jun: "If you send something back, you will send something back, how can it be rumored that our family has transported 100,000 taels of silver back from Rizhao?" Who spread this? Who are you doing on errands? ”
Li Jun lowered his head and did not say a word.
He is obviously three years younger than Li Duan, but his demeanor at this time is wooden, looking two or three years older than Li Duan, people who don't know still think that Li Jun is his brother and Li Duan is his younger brother.
Li Duan looked at it and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
Since the incident with Wei Xiaoshan, Li Jun has not been able to recover after being deeply hit, and he has lost his spirit.
He walked around the room a few times with some irritability, feeling that his anger was suppressed in his heart, and just as he wanted to talk to Li Jun, Lin Jue broke in.
Li Duan was very unhappy in his heart.
This is the Li family, not the Lin family, but Lin Jue entered their house as if he was walking on a flat river, as if no one had ever stopped him.
It's just that before he could put that bit of displeasure on his face, Lin Jue had already said in a deep voice: "Ah Duan, I have found out the matter, it is a rumor released by Peng Shiyi." ”
