This grandmother is right.

Although the Song family is a famous family in Jiangnan, it has not produced a member of the third grade or more in recent years, and there is no eye-catching reader, in the eyes of a top official family like Xu Fu, even if it is down, you don't have to bother to make friends for the time being. In addition, the Song Mansion is in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are a little far away from each other, and Mrs. Song Si came to the capital and did not take the initiative to visit Xu Xuan, so the Yin Mansion can fool the past by saying "I don't know she came to the capital".

And not some unforgivable mistake.

It's just that Yu Tang specially asked at this time, and Xu Xuan couldn't help but give her an explanation.

Yu Tang understood as soon as he heard it.

It's not that Mrs. Song Si doesn't want to take the initiative to visit the Xu family, but her status is not qualified enough, so she will send a message to someone else's house as soon as she comes to the capital, and most of them will not come to visit Xu Xuan because of this, otherwise the Yin Mansion would not be so rude.

If she had been careful at this time, the housekeeper would have been questioned.

That's not good.

Yu Tang hurriedly said to Xu Xuan: "Mrs. Song Si came to visit her home two days ago, I thought she would come to your house to drink happy wine. ”

Xu Xuan knew that Yu Tang didn't know much about some social conventions in the capital, and today was a good day for her eldest son, so when she heard Yu Tang say this, she didn't ask the grandmother in charge anymore, waved her hand and let her retreat, and said, "Why did Mrs. Song Si suddenly come to the capital?" She's looking for you? Is there something I want you to help with? ”

Yu Tang thought about it and felt that if there was someone around her who could make her fully trust and speak to her heart, Xu Xuan would be one, so she didn't hide it, and told Xu Xuan about the marriage that Mrs. Song Si wanted to tell Miss Song Qi that it was beneficial to the Song family.

Xu Xuan pursed her lips when she heard this, and said: "This is really in response to the old saying, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." They want to learn from the martial arts, and they have to be willing to give so much silver to their daughter as a dowry! ”

But the Song family is better than the martial family, right?

The Song family is a family of scholars.

Yu Tang smiled and didn't say anything, and pulled Xu Xuan to see the child.

Xu Xuan took her to the warm pavilion that she cleaned up for fear of noisy children.

Yu Tang is very rare, holding the child and watching it non-stop.

Xu Xuan sat on the chaise longue next to her with a smile and said, "If you like it, give birth to one yourself!" ”

Yu Tang was suddenly a little deflated, and when he saw that the child's eyelids drooped and he wanted to sleep, he returned the child to the nurse, sat down next to Xu Xuan, and said abruptly: "I want to too!" But no! I wanted to find a doctor, but Yaoguang didn't agree. said that there is a woman who has not been pregnant for three years, and I am tossing blindly. I thought, should I wait until I don't have any children in three years and then go to the doctor? At that time, I didn't know if I was in the capital. Or is the doctor in the capital more powerful? You can also ask for a doctor. ”

She told Xu Xuan that Pei Yan wanted to take her to Mount Tai.

Xu Xuan laughed and said, "Since Pei Yaoguang is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about." Maybe Pei Yaoguang thinks it's good that you don't have children, and you husband and wife can walk around and have a look. When you have a child, you can worry about it, and it's inconvenient to take it with you if you don't lose it. Then she said of herself, "I used to think, if you have a child, you will have a child, and there are so many people watching at home, and I can't do it." I didn't know until the child was born, I didn't worry about anyone who took it, my mother couldn't do it, I couldn't see it at a glance, my heart was empty, as if something was missing, it wasn't like I thought before......"

The two of them talked to themselves, and they didn't come out of the conservatory until the housekeeper came in and said that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhang were coming, and Xu Xuan was going to entertain guests.

In this way, Xu Xuan also comforted her: "You don't have to worry about the marriage between the martial arts family and the Peng family, and Pei Yaoguang!" No matter how bad it is, there is Pei Qiming. Don't worry, they are much more sensitive to the affairs of officialdom than we are, and there will be no things you worry about. ”

Yu Tang nodded, when she came out of the Yin family, Pei Yan was still drinking in the outer courtyard, and she waited for a while before waiting for Pei Yan.

However, Pei Yan's expression was as usual, and he could only smell the faint smell of wine when he got closer, which showed that he hadn't drunk much. But she still stepped forward to help Pei Yan with concern, and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Pei Yan should be in a good mood, and when he got close to her, he quickly kissed her on the forehead, and laughed in a low voice: "I'm fine." Keeping you waiting. When he was about to go out, he was pulled by Yin Mingyuan and said something. ”

Yu Tang didn't ask what it was.

If Pei Yan wanted to tell her, he would naturally tell her.

She and Pei Yan got into the carriage.

At night, Yu Tang rested on Pei Yan's shoulder, and Pei Yan talked to her about it: "Yin Mingyuan received a letter from Yin Hao and felt that the marriage between the Wu family and the Peng family might have something to do with the Haiyu map we bought for them last time. The Wu family has shippers, the Song family can build ships, and the Peng family has captains who can walk ships, and it is indeed a bit troublesome for these three families to unite. ”

Yu Tang couldn't help but clench Pei Yan's arm tightly.

Pei Yan held her face and kissed her a few times, and said, "What's there to worry about, he has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder." Who is afraid of whom? ”

Yu Tang was puzzled.

Pei Yan whispered to her: "There is a cousin over there of our old lady Yi who is now an official in Xi'an Mansion, I have discussed it with Yin Mingyuan, and I will transfer him to the capital in a few days." The second brother is in the household department, and it is not easy for him to go to the household department, but there should be no problem in going to the criminal department or the metropolitan procuratorate. ”

Yu Tang perked up when he listened, and he was a little worried about the ability of this cousin of the Pei family.

You must know that the Peng family has spent a lot of thought in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Pei Yan gently patted her back and said with a smile: "My cousin, who lost his father since he was a child, grew up in our family since he was a child. It's just that the Pei family has a lot of eyes, and after this cousin joined the office, there were not many contacts on the surface. He and Yin Hao are in the same department, and Yin Hao is full of praise for his ability and character. After my second brother joined the household, I wrote a letter to this cousin and asked him if he would like to enter Beijing, and he quickly replied to my letter. It's just that there were too many things before, and there was no too suitable position in the capital, so this matter was put aside for the time being. Now it just so happens that the Peng family is not married to the martial family? We'll put one in the Criminal Department or the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's best to be the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which happens to deal with Peng Yu. ”

Yu Tang felt that this was a good idea.

She rested in peace.

After the Midyear Festival, there was also a letter from Lin'an.

First of all, Mrs. Yi. In the letter, he scolded Pei Yan and said that Pei Yan should not be separated from Pei Tong. But the matter has come to this, after he scolded, he began to tell Pei Yan how to place Pei Tong.

His old man not only objected to the equal distribution of Mrs. Pei's private property to Pei Tong, but also wrote a separate letter to Pei Xuan, scolding Pei Xuan fiercely.

Yu Tang was worried that the elders in his hometown would misunderstand Pei Yan, and blamed Pei Yan's head for Pei Tong's separation, and knew that Lin'an had a letter, so he asked to take a look.

As a result, she found that although Old Lady Yi was harsh, he was much harsher than Brother Pei Yan in matters of how to place Pei Tong, and since he was not a member of the Pei family, he didn't have to care too much.

Yu Tang was very surprised.

Pei Yan said with a smile: "Although the elders like to have many children and grandchildren, they prefer to have brothers together. ”

Yu Tang nodded.

Pei Yan glanced at the letter a few more times.

Old lady Yi is also a very shrewd and capable person, when his father died, old lady Yi called the two brothers several times to ask how his father died, and the two brothers really didn't have the face to say the eldest brother's behavior, so they didn't tell the truth. But later, when his father removed the suit, Mrs. Yi looked at the two brothers and sighed incessantly, and he vaguely felt that Mrs. Yi should know something.

Therefore, in the matter of Pei Tong's separation, his old man only scolded him a few words in the letter lightly, and then worried that he was too lenient to Pei Tong because of his brotherhood, and he did not eradicate the roots, leaving a scourge.

He wasn't going to tell Yu Tang about this.

Since the martial arts family and the Peng family got married, Yu Tang didn't say anything in front of him, but he felt that Yu Tang's heartstrings had been very tight, which was not a good thing for Yu Tang, he had to try his best to comfort her and calm her down.

He took Pei Laoanren's letter to Yu Tang and said, "Mom is also a little sad. Let's go back early. On the sister-in-law's side, her old man said that she would send them to the capital as soon as possible. ”

Brothers' wall.

The saddest thing is the mother.

Yu Tang had been worried about Pei Lao'an, and immediately took the letter when he heard this.

Pei Laoanren's tone was quite calm, but I could guess her mood when I thought about it.

Yu Tang sighed and discussed Pei Yan: "The matter on the Zhang family's side is almost the same, Pei Tong and they are separated, Lao An people must feel lonely while being sad, if you really can't leave, why don't I go back first?" ”

Pei Yan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let your mother come to the capital too?" When the family asked, they said they wanted to see Pei Tong. Then we went directly from the capital to climb Mount Tai. ”

Yu Tang's eyes lit up, and he said, "It's okay for us to accompany her old man to relax." He also urged Pei Yan to write a letter to Pei Lao'an quickly, "I just don't know if her old man is willing to go with the eldest wife?" ”

Pei Yan disagreed, and said: "It will take two months on the road, and I am afraid that my mother will not arrive yet, and she will be sick first." ”

That's a mean word.

Yu Tang turned Pei Yan.

Pei Yan didn't say anything, and asked people to send a letter to Pei Tong and tell him when the eldest lady would come to the capital.

Yu Tang was thinking about where Pei Lao'an would live after he came.

The second wife and Pei Xuan were also very happy to know about this, and the two of them also took a moment to come over and discuss with Pei Yan and his wife, so that Pei Lao'an would live in the capital for a few more days, and they went to renegotiate Pei Dan's marriage date with the Qin family, and then went back when Pei Dan was out of the cabinet.

The time is in this leisurely time and it is August.

The laurel trees raised by Yu Tang saw that they had bloomed yellow and tiny buds one after another, and the east courtyard of Pei Mansion was filled with the fragrant fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Yu Tang occasionally went over, and when he came back, he had to wash his hair and take a shower, change his clothes, for fear of being scented by Pei Yan.

Pei Yan didn't notice it, he just told Yu Tang happily: "That cousin of our family was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as the imperial history of the capital, although his rank was not promoted, but he was transferred to the capital. He will bring his family to Beijing in the next few days, I sent someone to Tongzhou to pick him up, and I want to invite him to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with our family, what do you think? ”

Since it is a person on a boat, it is natural that the closer the better.

Yu Tang happily agreed, and took the initiative to say: "I'll go and discuss with my second sister-in-law and see how to entertain their family when the time comes." ”

Pei Yan smiled and bowed his head.
