Hearing Yu Tang's question, Miss Xu raised her eyebrows proudly, but she waved her hand in a casual manner, and said, "Ouch, we are also ordinary eunuchs." There were a few capable officials when Gaozu and Great-Ancestor were there, and now, there are just a few uncles who are messing around in the court. ”

It's not like a mess!

Yu Tang pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that she would ask more deeply, not knowing if Miss Xu would feel offended, so she couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and there was a short silence between the two.

After all, Miss Xu is young, and she can't hold her breath very well, and she is also worried that Pei Lao'an will see them soon, she has no chance to talk to Yu Tang like this again, so she became anxious and said: "Our hometown is in Nanzhili, speaking of which, we are still the same townspeople as the second wife of Pei's house." However, our family moved to the capital in my great-grandfather's generation, and although we knew the second wife of Pei's house, we didn't have much contact. ”

She thought that when she said this, Yu Tang would definitely be able to think of who their family was.

Because at this time, no matter how big an official you are outside, you will have to return to your hometown after becoming a minister, unless you have made great contributions and are given to live in the capital.

And if they meet such conditions, since the founding of the dynasty, they are the only ones with the surname Xu.

She has shown off her family history in a low-key way.

It's just that Yu Tang is the one who doesn't know.

But she was smart enough to know that Miss Xu was probably embarrassed to brag about herself, and she had actually told her the origin of the Xu family just now.

Miss Xu is a very interesting girl, Yu Tang still likes her character, thinking that even if he asked her carefully at this time, some things still have to be explained by someone who knows the family tree. Seeing Miss Xu's eyebrows flying, as if everyone knew what their Xu family looked like, she was stubborn, and suddenly wanted to tease Miss Xu, making a look of not understanding, her face did not change "Oh", and said in surprise: "It's so complicated!" Yang Gongzi's stepmother is a relative of your family, and your family is related to the Li family and the Peng family, and now he is also an old acquaintance with the second wife's maiden family...... I also heard that Yang Gongzi's stepmother and Pei Laoan are also relatives. She said, looking at Miss Xu with admiration, "If this were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how to call each other." ”

Miss Xu's big eyes flickered a few more times.

Shouldn't Sister Yu express a few words of admiration to their Xu family? How did you suddenly clean up the kinship of each family?

Yu Tang looked at Miss Xu's appearance, and finally held back his laughter, and continued to talk nonsense seriously: "Your family is from Nanzhili, that is to say, close to Jiangnan, my family is related to the Yang family and the Qian family, I am not surprised, why did your sister marry to Fujian again?" Could it be that your sister's family moved to Fujian? ”

Miss Xu was so anxious that she hurriedly said, "No, no." Both the Peng family and our family have people who are officials in the court, and my sister's father-in-law and my second uncle are in the same department, and later they were both officials in Luoyang, so they got married. ”

Yu Tang didn't let her continue, and immediately interrupted her when she heard this, and said: "I know that the eldest lady of the Pei family is a member of the Yang family, and the second lady of the Pei family's in-laws is also surnamed Yang, I don't know if the eldest lady's maiden family is related to Miss Pei's second in-law's family?" I heard that the Yang family is also a big surname, presumably the eldest wife's maiden family is also a wealthy family, right? In the past, when the fifth lady asked me to teach her to make silk flowers, I thought that the second wife's maiden family only had a brother who was an official in Jinling, but when I looked at the second wife, it shouldn't be an ordinary family, right? ”

When Miss Xu heard this, she glanced at her, and said with an expression of "Who are you listening to?" The ancestors of the Yang family in Tonglu once had a first-class member, and the three generations of their Dingyuan Yang family were just a merchant selling silk, but they pretended to be a scholar and an official outside, and it was also a matter of these two or three generations, which was also married to the Pei family, and it was only with the support of the Pei family that they could go so smoothly! Speaking of this, she showed her excitement to gossip with Yu Tang, and whispered to Yu Tang: "Let me tell you, don't look at the eldest lady who looks like a lady, and she is the son-in-law of the restaurant house, in fact, she is not very good at reading." In the past, when she was in the capital, there was a flower viewing party of the Zhang family, and she barely passed the wine order every time, but then she really couldn't come out, and she was actually recognized by someone who pretended to be drunk. She was able to marry the eldest master of the Pei family entirely because of her face. That's why my dad doesn't look down on their family so much......"

The implication is that the eldest lady is a little stupid.

Yu Tang knew more things in just two quarters of an hour than she knew in her two lives combined.

She laughed hesitantly, it was really not good to evaluate the eldest lady, and said: "Green vegetables and turnips, each has his own love, who can say this kind of thing clearly." ”

Yu Tang felt that what she said was very high-sounding, and she couldn't find anything wrong, who knew that as soon as her words fell, Miss Xu became even more energetic, and said: "It turns out that you also know about this matter!" ”

What's up?!

Yu Tang was a little dazed, not knowing where he touched Miss Xu again, Miss Xu had already chattered: "I once heard my mother and Aunt Zhang say that the eldest lady of the Pei family looks dignified and solemn on the surface, and she looks awe-inspiring, but in private, she will be coquettish, and she will go back to tell the eldest master of the Pei family that her feet hurt if she walks a few more steps." My mother said that it was no wonder that she was able to live a smooth life. ”

But her husband is gone, and her life is starting to be difficult!

Yu Tang felt that it was a bit too much to say such things at this time, so he followed Miss Xu's "um", but he was thinking about Pei Yan in his heart.

The Li family has done this, why didn't Pei Yan agree to the marriage of the Li family?

Is the young lady of the Li family too ordinary? Or is it a bad temperament?

But if you can play well with Miss Xu, it shouldn't be like this.

She couldn't help but say, "Is the young lady of the Li family beautiful?" ”

Miss Xu didn't react for a while, half emotionally and half helplessly: "Do you know why my mother wants to say the eldest wife of the Pei family?" Because my eldest brother is the same as the eldest master of the Pei family, he also found a woman who has nothing but her face, and my mother was afraid that her two grandchildren would also be like the sons of the eldest lady of the Pei family, so she raised my two nephews under her knees...... For this, the eldest brother was not less affected by the splint of my mother and my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is a side branch of the Li family! ”

This little girl, dare to say anything!

Yu Tang didn't know what to say.

Miss Xu misunderstood that Yu Tang didn't understand, and said hurriedly: "Do you know that Master Li is their Tanhualang?" When he was in the spring, he was in the thirties. Their Li family, the most famous is not the old man of Li, but the famous beauty! ”

And this kind of thing?!

Then why didn't Pei Yan agree?

If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Pei Yan had a bad brain. Yu Tang believed in Pei Yan very much, and she felt that there must be other inside stories about Pei Yan and the Li family.

It's just that she doesn't know if there's a chance to know the inside story.

Thinking about it like this, Yu Tang was a little stunned.

However, Miss Xu knows so much.

If she wants to know the family tree, she may really have to listen to Miss Xu.

Yu Tang had a correct attitude and was about to ask her a few words, when he saw the second wife who had finished sending off the guests leading Aunt Ji to the tearoom.

This is to invite them to meet Pei Lao'an.

The two of them hurriedly stood up, straightened their clothes, and walked quickly into the tea room.

The second wife really came to invite them over for tea, and when she saw Yu Tang and Miss Xu coming in from outside, not only did she not suspect it, but also asked them with concern: "Where did this go?" I found that there are a few moonflowers planted in the backyard of this yard, and they are blooming quite well, so you can go there and have a look when you are idle. ”

Both of them were quite weak-hearted, where did they dare to say more, respectfully responded "yes", and followed the elders to Pei Lao'an.

The window lattice of the main hall is wide open, the breeze is coming, and the room is cool.

Pei Lao'an leaned on the big pillow of the Luohan bed, with a warm expression, a smile in his eyes, looking comfortable and carefree, and he couldn't see that there was an incident here that made the second wife angry not long ago.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Pei Laoan asked kindly, "I've kept you waiting." Did Aunt Ji make good tea for you? ”

"Not only the tea is good, but also the snacks." Chen smiled slightly.

She was older than Mrs. Yang San, and Mrs. Yang San was very humble enough to let the Chen family reply to Pei Lao'an on their behalf.

If nothing else, with this bearing, you can also see the extraordinaryness of the Yin family.

Everyone chatted for a while, and several old people, wives, young grandmothers and young ladies from Pei's Mansion also came over.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries again.

Yu Tang saw Mrs. Pei's family.

She was supported by a very beautiful maid, and she did not smile.

The female relatives of the Pei family also excluded her intentionally or unintentionally and did not talk to her much.

Yu Tang secretly remembered it in his heart.

When everyone sat down again, Pei Laoan asked people to invite the incompetent monks invited from the South Shaolin Temple.

He was a dark-skinned, thin-skinned man in his fifties, wearing a very ordinary gray coarse cloth monk's robe, with a serious expression, and a concise speech, which was deafening, and frightened all the ladies present.

Yu Tang felt that when he preached, everyone would definitely be able to hear it more clearly.

Incompetent knew the intentions of Pei Lao'an before he said much, he first told everyone a relatively short story of Buddhist scriptures, and then asked the little novice with him to take several talismans from a tray to choose for them, and set the blessing meeting at noon tomorrow: "It's a small puja, and it can be finished in an hour and a half." Today, you need all the ladies and ladies to cleanse their bodies, abstain from eating meat, and eat a day's fasting. ”

Naturally, everyone said "yes" one after another, and took the amulet that they could not send and looked at it carefully.

Incompetence took the little novice to leave.

Everyone began to discuss whether to make their own feast tomorrow or ask Zhaoming Temple to do it.

At this time, Yu Tang knew that it turned out that the female dependents of Pei's Mansion went up the mountain and even brought the cook.

No wonder the third master wanted them to follow the female dependents of Pei's Mansion into the temple.

It's a lot more convenient to eat and live!

Yu Tang rejoiced in his heart.

The people of the Wu family in Huzhou also arrived at Zhaoming Temple at this time, and the female relatives of the Wu family sent their mother-in-law to send posts to Pei Lao'an.

Pei Lao'an said with a smile: "Don't talk about so many rules in the temple, let them come in!" ”
