Chapter 230: Discord
Of course, Yu Tang didn't know that her small move attracted the attention of the daughters of the Song and Peng families.
After readjusting his mentality, Yu Tang not only finished copying the Buddhist scriptures very smoothly, but also tasted the ice rice cake with interest, enthusiasm and enthusiasm.
It's a bit like their crystal cake in Lin'an. However, their crystal cake in Lin'an is made of tapioca flour, which is shiny and more crystalline. Fengcheng's sorbet rice cake is made with Jiang rice, which is whiter.
It can be seen that many pastries are similar, but the raw materials are changed and the name is changed.
Yu Tang decided to copy a few pages of Buddhist scriptures for Pei Yan, so that the Bodhisattva could bless him with everything going smoothly.
Shuangpeach, who went to deliver candy and snacks, came back, and also brought back a return gift from Miss Xu. She said: "Miss Xu is really good, seeing that I was a little difficult to hold, she also asked Ah Fu to accompany me to a few Miss Pei. However, a few Miss Pei were not there, saying that they were out to visit the market, and I left my things and came back. Then he also told about meeting the daughters of the Song and Peng families on the way, but did not tell her about Miss Song's difficulties, only said that they picked oleanders and went back: "Ah Fu saw that Miss Pei was not there, so he told the mother-in-law in Miss Five's house." Ah Fu said, anyway, we have said everything that should be said, as for whether the mother-in-law in the fifth lady's house will mention it to the second wife, whether Miss Song and Miss Peng will have something happen to them because of oleander, it depends on their luck. Even if the Bodhisattva knows, it can't be said that we didn't help the young ladies of the Song family and the Peng family. She was also full of gratitude, "Miss, I think I came out with you this time." After getting to know Ah Fu and them, I know how stupid I am, I will definitely watch more and think less in the future, and learn how to serve Miss you with them. ”
Yu Tang smiled and said, "Are you going to be a servant for the rest of your life?" Not ready to release your citizenship? ”
In her previous life, after the fall of the Yu family, she did not sell Shuangtao, but let her go and chose an honest businessman as her husband, but she was not very comfortable. Why, Yu Tang asked a few times, but she was vague, and then Yu Tang had a lot of things, so he didn't have time to take care of her. Therefore, in this life, the eldest aunt made a matchmaker for Shuangtao and asked her to marry Wang Si, Yu Tang thought it was very good. At least Yu Tang can still protect her.
Hearing this, Shuang Tao waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "What's the good thing about releasing your book?" The old lady is kind, the young lady treats me well, and I like to stay in the Yu family. ”
When Miss recruits a son-in-law, the Yu family is still in charge, she does her best, and Miss will not treat her badly.
This matter is like a spring breeze, blowing by, she is more concerned about the oleanders picked back by the Song and Peng families: "I didn't expect that this family is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, a maid next to Miss Xu knows that oleander is poisonous, but the young ladies of the Song family and the Peng family don't know, it can be seen that Miss Xu's family is really powerful, and there is a reason why those young ladies flatter Miss Xu." ”
Yu Tang said: "I often see others picking oleanders, and I haven't heard of anyone who has been poisoned? It's just that oleander doesn't smell good, and people don't like to use it for flower arrangement. Maybe it's because of the difference between the north and the south, isn't there a saying that 'Huai orange is orange'? ”
The two gossiped for a while, and several Miss Pei ran over with a cheer.
After meeting Chen's family, the fifth lady took Yu Tang's hand and said, "We went to the temple early this morning, there are a lot of snacks to sell, but unfortunately Ah Shan didn't let me buy it, and I didn't buy it." However, I also found good things. ”
Her face flushed, and she excitedly took a palm-sized boxwood comb from her pocket.
The comb is made of ordinary material, but it is carved with the appearance of a fat carp, which is too amazing compared to the common magpie climbing branches, a hundred years of good harmony and the like.
"It's so pretty!" Yu Tang praised sincerely.
Miss Three and Miss Four both pursed their lips and smiled.
The fifth lady put the comb in Yu Tang's palm and said, "This is for you." ”
Yu Tang was both surprised and delighted: "Give it to me?" ”
The fifth lady proudly raised her chin towards the second miss.
The second lady glanced at Yu Tang inexplicably.
Although Yu Tang didn't know what the reason was, at this time, she would definitely not dismantle Miss Five's stage. She hurriedly said, "Ouch, I like it so much." It's just that a gentleman doesn't like people, such an interesting comb, I'll just take a look, you better put it away quickly and take it back and use it later. ”
The fifth lady grinned, took out an identical comb from her pocket, and said, "You see, I have one too." ”
Yu Tang was slightly stunned.
The third and fourth ladies laughed and said, "We bought several handfuls in one go, and bought all the combs on the stall." As a result, Miss Wu, they didn't buy it. We happen to be one by one. ”
Is it Miss Wu who Miss Song Liu said and wants to marry into the Pei family?
Yu Tang felt a little uncomfortable, but he still couldn't help but be curious: "What the hell is going on?" Tell me about it! ”
The fourth lady happily talked about meeting Miss Wu and Gu Xi at the stall outside the temple: "The two of them wore hats, surrounded a bunch of maids and women, and brought guards...... You can see it from afar...... Pick and choose...... This is also what she saw in the capital, and that one she also bought in Suzhou, for fear that others would not know that she was from a wealthy family...... She's not afraid of thieves...... Poor Sister Gu, who was accompanying her, her face was stiff with a smile! ”
There is still something about Gu Xi in this?!
Yu Tang pricked up his ears, and heard the fifth lady sighing there: "We should have pulled Sister Gu away at that time." ”
The second lady frowned and said, "Sister Gu is not you, you can rely on your young age to buy all the things on other people's stalls without saying anything, and deliberately say that we sisters are one by one in front of Miss Wu." Miss Wu went to Sister Gu's place early in the morning to block the door, if it was you, can you refuse? Besides, who would have thought that Miss Wu would be so high-profile! Sister Gu was also affected by her. ”
The third lady was worried when she heard this: "The martial arts family used to be a water bandit in the past, so their family won't be secretly doing their old business now, right?" ”
"How is that possible?!" The second lady immediately retorted, "If their family is still doing their old job, the third uncle will definitely not let our family have anything to do with their family." The Wu family is used to being domineering in Huzhou, and Miss Wu is just influenced by her family. ”
The fourth lady muttered quietly: "Anyway, I don't like Miss Wu, I don't want her to marry into our family." ”
The second lady laughed angrily and said, "Even if our family wants to marry, we have to have a suitable candidate." You don't have to worry about that. It's better to care about your own business! ”
"What's the matter with me?" The fourth lady blushed and said very weakly: "I want to tell my uncle and grandmother that you are bullying me!" ”
The second lady looked at her like a fool and ignored her.
The fifth lady quietly explained to Yu Tang: "The people of the Peng family want to marry a girl from our family to enter the door. ”
I didn't think of myself at all.
Maybe it's because she's the youngest.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that whether it was the Peng family or the martial family, it was estimated that this time it would be in vain.
She put the comb away and solemnly thanked the young ladies of the Pei family.
After they asked about Yu Tang's body, they knew that she had already recovered, so they began to chatter about offering Buddha incense tomorrow.
Gu Xi over there also went back to his residence.
It's just that as soon as she stepped into the hall, she saw her brother Gu Chang, who was supposed to be discussing with Pei Yan, sitting on the Taishi chair in the middle hall with a calm face, looking like he was waiting for her.
She chuckled in her heart, cheered up and smiled at Gu Chang, and said softly, "When did Brother come over?" Didn't you say that it was possible to eat at the third master's place at noon? Is there something wrong over there? ”
Yesterday, as soon as her brother arrived at the temple, she came to see her first, and she knew that her brother had specially asked for this errand to go back to Hangzhou for her marriage, and knew that she was here, and chased after her.
The brother and sister had a dispute over her marriage with Pei Tong yesterday, if it weren't for the brother's entourage running in to say that Pei Yan was free, the two would probably quarrel.
Brother has a straight face, is this to continue to talk to her about Pei Tong?
Gu Xi was a little scared in his heart.
Brother Ah has been protecting her since she was a child, and she has discussed everything with Brother A, only the marriage with Pei Tong was cut by her first, and Brother Ah must be very angry.
Gu Xi thought about it, so he took the initiative to bring a cup of tea to Gu Chang, and said softly: "Brother, don't be angry with me." I know you're doing it for my good. But I have my own ideas. No matter how good Pei Yaoguang is, he doesn't look down on me, and he is the sect master of the Pei family, and he breaks with his career, and I don't want to marry someone like him. Look at the Li family, didn't they shout before that their girls were chosen by Pei Yaoguang? But if you look at it now, you still don't say such things, isn't it because Pei Yaoguang can no longer be an official? No matter how bad Pei Tong is, it is true that he can read, it is true that there is a foreign family who is willing to help him, and it is true that the eldest grandson of the Pei family's clan is true. What's more, Pei Yaoguang is ashamed of him, and he will definitely not be missing in money, let's take the opportunity to get rid of the inheritance of the Pei family's clan and let our children and grandchildren study hard and become officials, isn't it better than having to nest in this small place in Lin'an for the rest of our lives?
Didn't you say it before, the Pei family is a good match.
The eldest lady sent someone to the door three times and twice to say goodbye, and promised me that if I got married, she would let me accompany Pei Tong to study at home.
You know that the eldest lady is widowed, and it is impossible to leave Lin'an.
That's why I'm willing to marry. ”
"Nonsense!" Gu Chang was taken aback when he heard this, got up and looked around, "How can there be a daughter-in-law who doesn't serve her in-laws, I see that I'm not at home, and your courage is getting bigger and bigger." ”
Gu Xi covered his mouth and smiled.
Brother feels sorry for her in the end.
She thought of the unlucky Li family, and couldn't help but talk about the Li family: "Does their family still have a chance to turn around?" I heard that Mr. Shen was running around for their family. This kind of thing is too dirty. I think Mr. Shen will ruin his reputation if he does this. ”
"What do you know?" Gu Chang saw that there was no one around, his heart was slightly relieved, he sat down again, and reprimanded his sister, "Li Duan is a student of Mr. Shen, he only has two ways to go at this time, one is to draw a clear line with the Li family, and the other is to run for him, with Mr. Shen's person, he must run for him, otherwise how could he end up resigning and returning to his hometown?" As for the Li family's affairs, it depends on whether Pei Yaoguang is willing to help their family. Today's Shaoqing of Dali Temple is Zhang Ying's second son, and Pei Yaoguang has a close personal relationship. ”
