When Gu Xi first heard this, she hadn't reacted to who was talking to Lao Anren, and when she heard a clean and pleasant voice, she realized that it was Yu Tang who was talking to Lao Anren.

Although she knew that she shouldn't, she couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen.

"Lao An, don't say that, it's tormenting me." Yu Tang said embarrassedly, "No merit is not rewarded." I'm just strange for a while, but I didn't expect to cause trouble for the third master, I, I'm really ashamed. ”

She was telling the truth.

Maybe it was because she sent Shuangtao to ask Ah Ming about the cloak, Ah Ming gave Pei Yan, Pei Yan simply told Lao Anren about it and asked Lao Anren to help him explain.

That's where the conversation came in.

Pei Yan is frank, but she seems to be a relative.

She was a little embarrassed to say goodbye to Pei Yan.

Lao An people also felt that Yu Tang was making a big fuss. However, Yu Tang is a little girl's family and lives in someone else's house, so it is also appropriate to be cautious.

She said, "It's good that you didn't take it to heart." I've already taught him a lesson, just let him tell me anything about it in the future. I don't have anything to do now, and if he asks me to help out with something, I'm just passing the time, and I can't ask for it! ”

Lao An was a clan woman before, and the family affairs were as big as weddings and funerals, and as small as the quarrels between the concubines would find her here, she was so busy every day that her feet did not touch the ground, and her three sons were brought up by the nurse, and now she was suddenly idle, and she was really a little unaccustomed.

Only Pei Yan knew that she was lonely, so the little girls in the family often came to her to play.

It's a pity that the little girls are young and can't talk with them, so they recruited Yu Tang into the house again.

Yu Tang didn't know these reasons, but when Lao An was comforting her, she was even more confused in her heart, thinking about how to say a few words of apology, but suddenly Aunt Ji's voice came from outside: "Miss Gu, you are here!" ”

Gu Xi was listening attentively, and suddenly he was questioned, he panicked, and his face couldn't help but feel a little at a loss, and he hurriedly said, "I just arrived." Somehow, I didn't see half a servant woman along the way, and I was wondering in my heart to see what was going on, and the eldest lady came in. As she spoke, her heart gradually settled, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked rhetorically, "When did the eldest lady come over?" I thought there was no one in the yard! ”

Pei Yan just left.

Before that, Lao An sent all the people who served around him.

Aunt Ji only thought that Gu Xi came too coincidentally, didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "I also saw Miss Gu here from a distance." And he said, "You're here to greet Lao An, right?" Wait a minute, I'll give you a message. ”

Lao An had already heard the conversation outside, and he was not pretentious, and said loudly: "It's Miss Gu, right?!" Come in and sit down. ”

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "How dare you ask for it, you just call me directly." He walked in with a smile on his face.

Yu Tang got up and saluted her, and the two sat down next to Lao Anren, one left and one right.

Gu Xi said to Yu Tang coquettishly: "Why didn't you call me when you came over?" I waited for you in the room for a while. ”

Yu Tang has a lot of experience in dealing with Gu Xi. She smiled and said, "Then I will remember to ask you to come next time." ”

And I don't say much about it.

Gu Xi felt like a punch on the cotton, and he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart, and began to face Yu Tang squarely.

Yu Tang was too familiar with her expressions and small movements, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this.

She and Gu Xi really have no fate!

In her previous life, she was a concubine, and Li Duan was not right-minded, so there was no way. She is so far away in this life, and she tries her best to avoid Gu Xi, why is she still being targeted by Gu Xi?

Yu Tang was a little unhappy in his heart.

In her previous life, Gu Xi wanted to keep her husband's heart, she could understand that in this life, she and Gu Xi didn't have the hatred of killing her husband and killing her father, could Gu Xi be guilty of this?

Yu Tang sneered in his heart, and he was unwilling to endure and avoid it anymore.

She lowered her head and drank tea, thinking that if Gu Xi dared to provoke her, she didn't mind teaching Gu Xi a lesson.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for several young ladies and second wives from Pei Mansion to come over to say hello, and for a while, the hall was full of laughter and laughter, which was very lively, and Yu Tang and Gu Xi's little caution disappeared.

But when Yu Tang returned to the house, Shuangtao couldn't help but ask her in a low voice: "Are we really going to meet Lao Anren with Miss Gu?" ”

The fourth lady still didn't give up, and she was still clamoring to go to the barbecue today. Lao An agreed, and everyone made an appointment to go to the hundred-year-old locust tree in the back garden in the afternoon to barbecue. Therefore, everyone had lunch at Lao Anren's place, and then went back to the room for a lunch break.

Yu Tang smiled casually: "But that's it, are you still serious?" ”

The double peach was jaw-dropping.

Yu Tang smiled and pulled the thin quilt to his chest, closed his eyes, and said, "Sleep!" ”

Shuangtao had no choice but to retreat in amazement.

Yu Tang was thinking about the second miss.

Gu Xi is obviously entrapping the second miss, I don't know what the second miss is worth Gu Xi's plot?

She was circling around the second lady this morning.

and Pei Yan, he actually misunderstood him...... Yu Tang's face was hot.

What a shame!

Is it to pretend that nothing has happened and just leave it at that? Or go and apologize to Pei Yan?

Yu Tang thought in a daze, not knowing when he fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that the sun was already in the west.

How so?!

Yu Tang was shocked and shouted "double peach" repeatedly.

Shuangtao trotted in and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Tang sank his face and said, "What time is it?" ”

Shuangtao grinned and said, "Miss, you don't know anything. When you were asleep, Aunt Ji in Lao Anren's house came over on a special trip, saying that Lao Anren had something to do in the afternoon, so that several young ladies didn't have to go over to say hello. I saw that you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up. I thought that later, if a few young ladies from Pei Mansion went to barbecue, I would talk about it. I never thought that several young ladies from Pei Mansion didn't come over this afternoon, and I was afraid that a few young ladies forgot to call you, so I specially invited Liu Fu to ask over, but several young ladies were detained at home by the second wife in the afternoon to practice calligraphy, and they didn't go to barbecue at all. ”

Yu Tang was surprised: "How can this be? ”

Shuangtao looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else next to him, so he stepped forward and leaned into Yu Tang's ear and said, "I heard that someone from Beijing is here." The old house that went first, the third master was not there, so he was accompanied by the second master up the mountain. Afraid of colliding with the distinguished guests, the ladies in the inner courtyard were detained and not allowed to go out. ”

Yu Tang was terrified.

What kind of person came to the door to make the female relatives of the Pei family avoid it?

She thought for a while and asked Shuangtao, "What is Miss Gu doing in the afternoon?" ”

Gu Xi has always been more well-informed than her, and inferring from her whereabouts whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for someone to come from Beijing is the easiest way she can think of.

Shuang Tao said: "Embroider with the second lady in the house!" ”

"Have you been embroidering all the time?" Yu Tang was a little surprised.

Shuangtao nodded and said, "In the past, Hexiang was still walking around, and she didn't go out this afternoon. ”

In other words, the status of a visitor is really noble. At least it can deter Gu Xi.

Who is so majestic?

Yu Tang guessed for a long time and didn't have a clue, so he simply put this matter down, thinking of finding an opportunity to ask Lao An directly.

And all the people ate at their lodgings.

Early the next morning, the news came out.

The person who came was Zhang Shao, the eldest son of Zhang Ying, the seat of Pei Yanshi.

A few days ago, he was appointed governor of Jiangxi, and this time he deliberately changed his way to visit Pei Yan on the way to Jiangxi to take office.

But it shouldn't be so that the ladies in the family avoid it?

Yu Tang felt that Zhang Shao's intention was not simple.

She asked Aunt Ji, who came to give her hairpins: "Are you afraid that we will collide with Master Zhang?" ”

"It's not!" Aunt Ji said with a smile, "The Zhang family and our family are good friends, Lord Zhang came over and talked to Lao An for a long time, and dinner was also left in Lao An's house, so it was not good to invite a few young ladies over." ”

Are you sure?!

The relationship between the Zhang family and the Pei family is really very good.

A teacher-student friendship alone can't explain this intimacy!

Yu Tang suppressed his suspicions in his heart, picked a yellow camellia with buds waiting to be released, and said with a smile: "Is there a warm house in the other courtyard?" ”

Aunt Ji smiled: "There is a conservatory, next to Merlin, if Miss wants to go, you can tell me in advance." A few of the eldest lady's orchids were kept there, and the eldest lady often went to the conservatory to play with flowers and plants. ”

Yu Tang responded with a smile, rewarded Mrs. Ji with a red envelope, and personally sent Mrs. Ji out.

Shuang Tao was puzzled: "Why do you want to reward the eldest lady?" Aunt Ji usually takes good care of us. ”

During this time, in addition to learning the rules from Liu Wu, she was also observing Aunt Ji and Aunt Chen's treatment.

Yu Tang felt that this was a good thing and encouraged her very much, and she would ask bluntly if she was puzzled.

She taught her softly: "Did you hear anything from Aunt Ji's mouth?" ”

Shuang Tao thought for a moment and shook his head.

Yu Tang said: "She's telling me not to go to the warm house casually." ”

Shuangtao let out an "ah".

They had been in the courtyard for several days, and had not seen the eldest lady again except that day.

It can be seen that the relationship between the eldest lady and the Lao An people is not very good, as is rumored outside. Since she entered the mansion because of Lao An, it is best not to deal with the eldest lady.

Double Peach came to his senses.

Yu Tang can get the news here, and Gu Xi also gets the news from the side. Unlike Yu Tang's calmness, Gu Xi was hesitant in his heart.

The Pei family and the Zhang family are actually good friends.

No wonder her brother wants to marry her to Pei Yan.

Zhang Shao's father, Zhang Ying, needless to say, his great-uncle was an emperor, and his grandfather once served as a scholar of Wuyingdian University, the first assistant of the cabinet, and was a capable official in the history of celebrities. There is also a younger brother who is now serving as Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and a cousin who is the head of the Ministry of Officials. It can be said that the Zhang family is one of the most prominent official families in this dynasty.

It made her feel excited.

But she has been here for so long, Lao Anren looks good at talking, but she hasn't done anything she wants to do.

The most appropriate way is not to participate in the internal struggle of the Pei family.

It's just that she's running out of time.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon.

She can't really stay in the Pei family for the New Year, right?

The eldest lady often goes to the greenhouse, and the eldest lady is at odds with Lao Anren, does she want to take advantage of this matter?

Gu Xi paced back and forth in the room.
