Chapter 114: Favor
How can there be such a thing?!
Yu Tang suddenly became interested and wanted to hear it, but unfortunately, it was only two zhang away from the teahouse, she just had the heart, and she arrived after a few steps, so she simply hid behind the pillar and listened to what they said.
Unfortunately, their voices were too quiet, and they were a little far apart, and she didn't hear anything.
Yu Tang was very disappointed, she was a little absent-minded when she arranged the wedding hall, and almost knocked over the fruit plate on the long case, so she restrained her thoughts and focused on Yu Yuan's marriage.
The process of marrying was very smooth.
The bride got off the sedan chair, worshiped the church, and was sent into the new house, and Yu Tang took Chen's arm to see the bride.
Miss Xiang was dressed in a red wedding dress, her head was full of pearls, and she was dressed very beautifully, and the ladies who came to watch the ceremony praised each other, and they all felt that the Yu family had married a good family.
As a sister-in-law, Yu Tang naturally has to take more care of the new sister-in-law.
She quietly asked Xiang's: "Is my sister-in-law hungry?" He wanted to help Yu Yuan please Xiang's family, and said, "When my brother went to pick up my relatives, I repeatedly told me to take care of my sister-in-law." I hid some pastries, and if my sister-in-law is hungry or wants to go to the toilet, remember to tell me, I have already thought of a countermeasure. ”
The bride is not allowed to leave the new house, if the husband's family does not arrange it in advance, she will not even have a glass of water to drink when she is hungry and thirsty.
Xiang's family has long known that although Yu Tang is Yu Yuan's cousin, there are only two brothers and sisters in the Yu family's two rooms, just like a mother's siblings, and she is also her only sister-in-law, she naturally wants to be a good sister-in-law, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "My nurse also came with her, she has water bladders and food over there, you don't have to worry." As he spoke, he quietly stuffed the purse that had been prepared in his pocket quietly into Yu Tang's hand, and laughed in a low voice, "This is specially prepared for you, there were many people just now, and it was not easy to take it out, so you take it and buy flowers to wear." ”
Sister-in-law's kindness, Yu Tang naturally followed generously.
It's just that the purse is heavy when you start it, and Yu Tang suspects that it contains silver bills or silver melon seeds.
This is a very generous meeting gift.
Yu Tang was grateful, smiled and thanked Xiang's, and then stayed by Xiang's side to take care of her, waiting until Yu Yuan toasted outside and returned to the new house before leaving.
The next day, Xiang's recognition ceremony for Yu Tang was prepared, looking at a pair of shoes and socks and two gowns made according to custom, but the socks were made of Songjiang three-edged muslin, and the shoes were decorated with pearls the size of rice grains. Even when Chen saw it, he couldn't care about the reserve of his elders and called it "too precious".
Or is he really satisfied with this family business, Xiang's smile is full of joy, and joy is revealed from the bottom of his eyes.
She said softly: "Ah Mei looks like this, she should be dressed up beautifully." Auntie said that, but I was embarrassed to say it. ”
Chen thought that Yu Tang's marriage had not yet been settled, and these two clothes were indeed the icing on the cake, she looked very fond of it, so she stopped saying anything about resignation, and asked Yu Tang to thank Xiang again.
Yu Tang affectionately took Xiang's arm, and called "sister-in-law" sweetly, and Xiang's family, who grew up with a group of boys in the Wei family, was so happy that she agreed, if she wasn't afraid of breaking the rules, she almost took off the Hetian jade bracelet she had just put on and gave it to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was determined to get along with Xiang's - when she returned home yesterday, she opened the purse that Xiang's gave her and found that it was full of golden melon seeds.
It can be seen that Xiang's family attaches great importance to her.
Three days later, Xiang and Yu Yuan went to Wei's house.
They had to go back twice.
The first time was to go to the Wei family, and the second time was to go to the Xiang family nine days later.
Fortunately, the two returns were smooth.
After that, the newlyweds began to count their small coffers, and the bride was busy recognizing the door and getting to know the neighbors.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of March.
During this period, Yu Tang asked people to inquire about Li Duan's marriage, and the door of Li's house was locked and closed.
It is said that Mrs. Li fell ill and went to Hangzhou City for treatment, and Li Duan went to Hangzhou to serve the sick.
The neighbors are all talking, saying that Li Duan is quite filial, he doesn't even read books, and he accompanied his mother to Hangzhou City, I don't know if it will delay the next year's exam?
Others were talking about what kind of illness Mrs. Li had, whether it would be dangerous, and sighed that if Mrs. Li couldn't survive, at the age of Master Li, she would definitely have to continue the string, and the two brothers of the Li family would not have such a good time at that time.
Yu Tang pouted when she listened, secretly regretting that she didn't find anything she was interested in.
At this time, the Peng family, the Tao family and others had already returned home, and Pei Yan estimated that the Yu family should be almost busy, so he asked Yu Wen to drink tea at home.
Yu Wen knew that this was about the auction.
He saw that the Xiang family was also a shrewd and capable person, and asked Yu Yuan: "Do you want to let the Xiang family go with you?" ”
Yu Yuan immediately said: "Let's let her stay at home!" The less people know about the map, the better! ”
Like his mother Wang and aunt Chen, they don't know until now, and they can't treat her differently just because Xiang married him and acted safely.
As long as his nephew has no opinion, Yuwen doesn't want to have nothing to do.
He handed over the things he was going to give to Pei Yan to Yu Yuan: "You take it, be careful not to smash it!" ”
It is a long-necked plum bottle of azure Ru kiln.
It was he who asked Master Wu to buy it.
Master Wu took great pains to find them for their family, and the two plum vases cost four thousand four hundred taels of silver, which is still for the sake of Master Wu's face. At that time, Master Wu was still afraid that their family would not have so much silver, so he said euphemistically: "There is also a pair of corals, red, three inches high, it looks good to give away or keep for your daughters as a dowry, only 1,200 taels." ”
Yu Wen did not hesitate to choose the pair of plum bottles.
The silver ticket obtained from the auction was not yet hot in his arms, so Yu Wen ordered 4,400 taels and gave it to Master Wu.
Master Wu took the silver ticket and smiled, and said to Yu Wen: "When I lived next door to you for so long, I didn't expect you to be so calm and have such a rich family. ”
Yu Wen's face turned red at that time, and said, "This is to thank someone else's family, how can you be a little sincere." ”
Master Wu was not the one who inquired, so he didn't ask too much when he listened, took the silver ticket and left.
Yu Yuan carefully carried the pair of brocade boxes containing plum bottles, and went to Pei's house with Yu Wen and Yu Tang's father and daughter.
Pei Yan still met them in the study where he first met them.
It was the time of spring and sunshine, and they sat under the camphor tree in the patio in front of the study and talked.
"There was an accident at the auction." Pei Yan was wearing a shiny muslin straight jacket, his black hair was very casually tied with a green bamboo hairpin, his expression was comfortable, and he looked relaxed and comfortable sitting on the Taishi chair and said, "I thought that they had discussed a countermeasure, but I am afraid that this picture will not be sold at a high price." Who knew that the Tao family, the Sheng family, and the Yin family joined forces, and the Wu family, the Song family, and the Peng family joined forces to take a picture together. The Li family, as previously rumored, did not meddle in these affairs. Although it was different from the previous plan, there was no major mess, and it can be regarded as a complete merit. ”
Yu Wen did not hide his gratitude, and said: "Not only is the merit complete, this is the best." Neither will the dominance of one family lead to trouble, nor will everyone not know how to cherish it. If there was no third master, how could this matter go so smoothly. Speaking of which, I really have to thank the third master! ”
Pei Yan said a few polite words.
Yu Tang wanted to speak and stopped.
Pei Yan said with a smile: "If Miss Yu has anything to say, just say it. I must know everything, I must know everything. ”
It looks like it's in a very good mood.
Yu Tang was also polite, and said: "The Peng family and the Song family ......"
If she remembers correctly, the Song family and the Pei family are relatives.
Pei Yan didn't care, and said: "The general trend of the world is still divided and combined, let alone relatives." You don't have to worry about the Song family, who you want to join forces with, it's his own decision. No matter what happens in the future, he will bear it himself. Those of us who are next to him can only remind him, but we can't force him to act. ”
Listening to that tone, I am not very optimistic about the cooperation of the Wu, Song, and Peng families.
Yu Tang thought of his previous life, and there was a Jiang family in Suzhou City.
It can be seen that even if there is no auction this time, the Song family will gradually lose its current prominence in a few years.
This may be a personal ability.
She was just worried that the Peng family and the Song family were together, the grievances between her and the Li family involved the Peng family, Pei Yan was on the side of the Peng family, and now when she heard him say this, her hanging heart fell.
Then Pei Yan asked about the sea buckthorn tree: "How is it?" Did those trees feed you? ”
Pei Yan spoke before, but before Yu Tang sent someone to Pei's house to dig the tree, Hu Xing took someone to send the tree to the Yu family, and Yu Wen entrusted his fifth uncle to plant the tree at the foot of the mountain, and Yu Tang hasn't taken care of it these days.
"I'm going to see it in two days." Yu Tang said, "Daddy handed over the affairs in the grange to me to take care of, I heard the mother-in-law at home say that these days are the time for seedlings to emerge, I want to go and see." ”
They plant rice here, and it takes a few days for the seedlings to survive and a few months to know if they will grow well after they survive.
Yu Bo handed over the affairs of the mountains and forests to Yu Yuan, and Yu Wen thought that Yu Yuan could also help take care of Yu Tang, and handed over the family's 100 acres of paddy fields to Yu Tang to manage.
Yu Tang is going to go back to the old house with Yu Yuan in a few days, and by the way, take a look at the sea buckthorn trees that have been moved over.
Pei Yan said: "If you don't understand anything, just send someone to ask Hu Xing." If he doesn't have time, he will also instruct the knowledgeable steward below to help you go and see it. ”
Yu Tang thanked again and again.
Pei Yan talked about the Peng family: "They should have discovered that these two maps are the same, and they will not let go of the Li family." As for the Li family, most of them will confess to you. I don't know how many of you still know about the map, so you'd better unify your tone, and if someone asks, grit your teeth and just don't know what to say. Lu Xin's relics or something, all of them were returned to the Lu family, if they still didn't believe it, they could invite the people of the Lu family to confront them. ”
Yu Tang's heart immediately tightened.
Yu Wen said even more nervously: "Okay, okay." Only the three of us in the family know, and no one will talk nonsense. You can rest assured. ”
Pei Yan was a little surprised, very satisfied with Yu Wen's prudence, he said: "If you really can't hide, remember to let someone come and talk to me." He added, "I can help you solve your immediate needs, but I can't solve your worries for a lifetime." It would be best if those people's suspicions could be quietly dispelled. ”
Yu Wen nodded repeatedly.
Ah Ming ran in and said, "Young Master Gu from the second room of the Gu family in Hangzhou asked someone to hand over the post, saying that he wanted to visit you tomorrow." ”
The eldest young master in the second room of the Gu family, Gu Chang?!
Yu Tang was stunned.
