The feeling of coming home is very, very different from being outside. is also eating, the food in Pei's house is much better than that of the Yu family, but when Yu Tang eats at Pei's house, no matter what, even if she is alone, she will feel a little restrained. But in her own home, even if she is at the same table with her uncle and aunt, she still feels comfortable and happy if she wants to "sleep and say nothing"; is also sleeping, even the courtyard of Pei's Mansion uses a lacquered bed, and in Pei's Mansion she sleeps in a black lacquered luodian stepping bed, she will still turn over and over every night and ask for two pillars of incense to fall asleep. Lying on her four-pillar carved bed with a half-new moslin tent, smelling the soft smell of the sun between the bedding, she closed her eyes and fell asleep, and slept until the afternoon of the next day.

When Yu Tang opened his eyes, he happened to hear Shuangtao talking to Mrs. Chen: "...... The persimmon is really delicious, not bitter at all, sweet and silky, and it is the first time I have eaten such a delicious persimmon. Liu Wu said that the hoarfrost was all sun-dried and was transported from Fujian. Miss also likes to eat, this time when Miss came back from Pei's house, Pei's house gave our family two small baskets of persimmons. Speaking of which, the maids in Pei's Mansion are really powerful. Like the catkins assigned to serve in our house, it is said that he is only a second-class in the Pei family, and he is not outstanding, but he doesn't know how careful and thoughtful he is when he does things. As for the delivery of persimmons, I heard that she told Aunt Chen. When I first went, I thought Miss was making a big fuss, but after a period of contact with catkins, I was quite grateful to Miss for letting me learn the rules from her. ”

Don't go around talking about these things, right?

Expose yourself to its shortcomings!

Yu Tang turned over, and there was a slight rustling sound in the room, Shuangtao immediately stopped the topic, and whispered to Mrs. Chen: "It should be that Miss is awake, I'll go and see." You can put these pastries here first, and after I have seen them, Miss will come and clean them up. ”

If it was in the past, Shuangtao might not have paid attention to Yu Tang's movements all the time, and even if she did, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to come over to see if she had any requests.

It can be seen that Shuangtao followed her to Pei's Mansion, and she still has grown.

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and was served by Shuangtao to get up and freshen up.

Chan came over.

When she came over, she was still holding a red lacquered box in her hand, and she looked a little nervous when she saw Yu Tang: "Ah Tang, have you ever looked at the Pei family's gift list carefully?" I've been inspecting the things sent by the Pei family before, and I found this box. As he spoke, he opened the box.

A golden light sparkled, stabbing people a little unable to open their eyes.

"It's all gold." Chen continued worriedly, "Your father and I have roughly estimated, how can we have two or three catties. This, this is too precious! Why did you just take it? ”

Yu Tang was also taken aback, got up and took the box, and looked at it carefully: "I really don't know." At that time, the Pei family's gift list was covered with an outer envelope, and it was not given to me until I went home to say goodbye to Pei Laoan. Why am I embarrassed to look at what is written on the gift list in front of the Pei family? Later, I was in a hurry to return home, thinking that I had collected all the things, and I would just return the gift according to the same in the future, so I never opened the gift list to see. ”

A box of gold ornaments is a set of heads. In addition to distractions, hairpins and the like, there are also sideburns, all of which are red gold. Don't say anything else, just say that a pair of sideburns, the size of a wine cup, made into a peony flower style, in the hand but one or two taels, the petals are as thin as paper, trembling and majestic, the skills are very superb, and it is by no means an ordinary Jinlou can be beaten.

It's not a matter of gold, it's worth of silver.

No wonder her mother was upset.

She was also uneasy.

"What did Daddy say?" For such a big matter, it is impossible for her mother not to discuss her father, Yu Tang asked.

Chen said helplessly: "What can you expect your father to say?" He will only say what 'the future will be long', but what will our family take to repay the Pei family's gift! Anyway, I told your father, in a few days I will take you to ask Pei Lao'an to say goodbye, send something over, and let your father worry about it. ”

Yu Tang grinned, imagining his father scratching his ears and cheeks and not knowing what to do.

Chen took the box and said, "I'll help you put it away." Such a good thing has to be kept for you as a dowry. After speaking, Chen Shi let out an "oops" and said, "Look at my memory!" Your brother sent someone early this morning to ask if you had gotten up, saying that there was something important to look for you, and when you got up, let me send someone to tell him - I forgot everything. I'll send someone to talk to your brother, and bring a letter, so that your uncle, aunt and sister-in-law will all come over for dinner. ”

Yu Tang nodded again and again.

She also had something to ask her aunt.

The eldest aunt's cousin-in-law's family seems to have a surname of Zeng, and a mole has grown on the corner of her mouth. But she asked several people in the Ku'an Temple, but no one knew about this woman. And when she mentioned Ku'an Temple yesterday, the eldest aunt didn't mention that she had a cousin in Ku'an Temple.

Could it be that she is mistaken?

The cousin of the eldest aunt once said that she was abandoned by her husband's family because her son lost his footing and drowned. If she hadn't entered the Ku'an Temple, did it mean that her son could still be saved?

Yu Tang was a little anxious.

Fortunately, the eldest aunt came early.

She threw Xiang's family to her mother regardless of it, and her mother accompanied her to talk, and pulled her aunt to the side to whisper and ask about Zeng's affairs.

The eldest aunt looked very dazed, and said: "I have a cousin who married into the Zeng family, but she died of dystocia more than ten years ago, and it is impossible for her to become a monk or retreat in Ku'an Temple!" Are you mistaken? Also, I shouldn't have mentioned my cousin to you, and if you didn't, I wouldn't have any impression of it? “

Yu Tang was completely stunned.

She asked, "Then what is the surname of your cousin who married into the Zeng family?" ”

"The surname is Zhang." Wang said, "I only have this cousin." ”

Yu Tang said: "Is it possible that someone from the Zeng family didn't want everyone to pay attention to her, so he said it was your cousin directly in front of me?" ”

"It's possible." The eldest aunt thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then I'd better send someone to inquire, maybe something really happened?" It's better to help or help. ”

Yu Tang nodded again and again, and the eldest aunt asked her about the Ku'an Temple: "According to what you say, the daughters of the Pei family are ready to help the people of the Ku'an Temple support themselves?" I think that's a really good thing. If it's useful for me and your mother, just ask. You little girls don't know, you don't know how many women have had a bad life after getting married, and have been kicked out, and basically have no way to live. If the work of Kuan Temple can be done, you will have done a great good deed to help the suffering! “

"Without the daughter of the Pei family, how could I do such a thing." Yu Tang and the eldest aunt said modestly, but they were anxious about the son of the woman in the Zeng family, and urged the eldest aunt to send someone to the Zeng family to have a look.

The eldest aunt called Wang Si in.

Yu Tang was taken aback.

The eldest aunt smiled: "During the time you were not at home, Wang Si helped a lot. Your uncle is ready to take him as an apprentice! ”

In this way, he will always be a member of the Yu family.

Yu Tang looked at his hands and feet more neatly, and his eyes showed a little shrewdness, and Wang Si, who was no longer able to speak the same day as when he first came.

Maybe it's a good thing to keep him in the Yu family.

The Yu family is just no one available.

Yu Tang greeted him with a smile.

He respectfully saluted Yu Tang and took the order.

A little later, Yu Yuan rushed over.

He came to talk to Yu Tang about the lacquerware shop business: "The patterns painted by Zhang Gongzi are very popular, and they have been sold for almost thirty taels of silver in just a few days. I mean, you went to Zhang's house in person these days, after all, this business was said by you and the lady of Zhang's family at the beginning, I think, it's better to leave this matter to you. If we can convince Zhang Gongzi to paint us a few more, it would be the best. ”

What else can Yu Tang do? I can only agree. But she also entrusted Yu Yuan with one thing, to make a suitable red lacquer box for Miss Pei Jiaer, and she would give it to Miss Pei Jiaer as a makeup gift: "Think about it, the Pei family and the Yang family are married, and there will definitely be many people who come to watch the ceremony when they show their dowry. ”

Yu Yuan agrees with her views, and he also believes that no matter what kind of opportunity it is, as long as there is an opportunity, it should be tried, and it should be seized.

He said: "You can leave this matter to me, I will make a few more appearances, and let you choose when the time comes, and make sure to make one that the second lady of the Pei family likes." After that, he talked about the fields of the Yu family's old house and the sea buckthorn fruits planted on the mountain: "Wang Si is rare and careful, several trees have survived, and they will definitely grow better next year, so you can continue to get some saplings to plant." Because it involves the matter of seedlings, let's go and ask the second uncle what he means when the time comes. ”

The brother and sister talked about the future for a long time, and Yu Bo also came back from the shop.

The two went to the hall together, and the whole family had a sumptuous reunion dinner together.

In the next few days, Yu Tang felt that he was as busy as a spinning top and couldn't stop.

She first went to Zhang Gongzi's house to look at Xiao Zhang Qing, and asked Zhang Gongzi euphemistically if he could continue to draw a few patterns for their family. Ma Xiuniang was embarrassed and politely refused. Yu Tang had been mentally prepared before, although he was a little disappointed, he could still accept it. After that, she went back to her hometown to look at the sea buckthorn trees, and sure enough, as her cousin said, they grew very well, and Wang Si and the forest watchers put a lot of thought into it. Yu Tang rewarded Lin Ren with one or two silver, as for Wang Si's, it was rewarded by him after he came back from Wang's cousin-in-law's house, of course, compared to looking at Lin Ren, Yu Tang rewarded him with one or two more silver.

He thanked him again and again with the silver, and then talked about the search: "The cousin of the eldest lady's mother's family has a sister-in-law, about the same size as the cousin, married in the same village, separated by a forest before and after, as you said, there is a mole at the corner of her mouth, but since she married into her husband's family, she has given birth to five girls in a row, and has no son. I still live in my husband's house. I don't know if it's the one you're asking. ”
