Without preface, Yu Tang knew that Gu Xi was one year older than her.

But she still smiled and reported the year of her birth.

Gu Xi pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head to Pei Lao'an and Mrs. Shen, and said, "It's my sister!" ”

Yu Tang thought about the grievances between the two in her previous life, thinking about the faces Gu Xi showed to her, she didn't want to embarrass herself anymore and call Gu Xi a sister.

"Miss Gu!" She shouted to Gu Xi with a smile, and the alienation between her attitudes was visible to the naked eye.

Gu Xi's face was not obvious, but his eyes shrank, and his smile was still lively: "Don't worry, sister, I don't usually have such a temperament, but I really like it when I see my sister look so beautiful, I can't help but lose my sense of proportion." My sister will compensate you for it. After speaking, he reached out and pulled Yu Tang's arm.

Yu Tang sneered in his heart when he heard this.

Is this accusing her of having a bad temper?

Gu Xi in his previous life was not so stingy?

Is it because they weren't as depressed as they were when they first met in their previous lives?

It can be seen how hypocritical Gu Xi's kindness and generosity were in his previous life!

However, who wouldn't take eye pills?!

She looked at Lao Anren.

Lao Anren nodded secretly, thinking that although this young lady of the Yu family had such and such small problems, the root was not bad. Although she introduced Miss Yu to Mrs. Shen and others that Miss Yu was her relative, Miss Yu was not after all. Gu Xi's enthusiasm for Yu Tang is obviously for her face, sisters and sisters, it seems simple, but if it really comes and goes, it is deeply involved. Yu Tang can ask for her opinion at this critical moment, it can be seen that there is still a rod and scale in his heart, and he can distinguish the weight.

"She's a coward." Lao Anren smiled and protected Yu Tang as soon as he spoke, "Since you are a sister, don't be like her." After speaking, he turned his head and began to ask Mrs. Shen's intention, "I remember that you said that the little grandchildren of the family should be taken care of, and Mr. Shen has not seen you come to Lin'an for five or six years, what happened this time?" Are you here to visit Mr. Shen? Or is there something going on at home? If I can help, just say. Let's not talk about the relationship between Mr. Shen and the second child of our family, that is, when the old lady of our family was alive, Mr. Shen was the one he admired the most, and the two of them often drank and traveled together. Since you have come to Lin'an, don't treat us as outsiders. ”

didn't say a word about Yu Tang and Gu Xi's preface.

The implication is that they are against Gu Xi and Yu Tang marrying sisters and sisters.

Gu Xi bit his lip and glanced at Yu Tang quickly.

has outstanding appearance, and his gestures are also down-to-earth and generous, and at first glance he is not from a small family. So what kind of relationship is she with Lao Anren?

Why didn't Lao Anren let her have a tooth with this Miss Yu?

Could it be that it is inappropriate for her to call Miss Yu "sister"?

Thinking about it, Gu Xi was startled by herself, and then her heart also pounded.

Mrs. Shen is a generation younger than Lao Anren, and she came with Mrs. Shen again, looking like Mrs. Shen's junior, that is, she has become the granddaughter of Lao Anren...... Could it be that this Miss Yu was prepared by Lao An for Master Pei San...... Fiancee!

Gu Xi couldn't help but glance at Yu Tang again.

Yu Tang was quietly listening to Lao Anren's words, and did not notice Gu Xi's gaze. Moreover, even if she noticed Gu Xi's scrutiny, she wouldn't take it to heart.

In her previous life, they were concubines and lived under one roof, and she had nowhere to go, so there was no way. In this life, she has both parents and her brother and sister-in-law to help her, even if Gu Xi doesn't like her again, why should she be moved!

On Mrs. Shen's side, Yu Tang discovered something interesting.

According to Mrs. Shen, she came to Ancheng because she was entrusted by Gu Chang to accompany Gu Xi. Pei Yan's aunt knew about it, so she asked her to bring some things over, and in addition to food and medicinal materials, there are also some popular scripts in Jiangnan in recent years.

Gu Xi is a person who has been engaged to Li Duan, is it appropriate for her to come to Ancheng like this?

Gu Chang can't send a personal entourage or staff to help him run for something, he wants to ask Mrs. Shen to accompany Gu Xi to Ancheng, Mrs. Shen came to visit Pei's house, why did she have to bring Gu Xi?

No matter how Yu Tang thought about it, he felt that this matter was a little strange.

But as long as Gu Xi's arrival does not involve the safety of the Yu family, it has nothing to do with her.

Yu Tang had no intention of asking more, and continued to sit quietly next to him and listen to Lao An and Mrs. Shen talk.

Gu Xi was in a state of turmoil.

She came to visit Shen Shanyan in Lin'an, which was simply an excuse. In fact, she is here to see Lao Anren, and it is best to make Lao Anren have a good impression of her.

Thinking of this, her face was a little hot.

The Li family is useless, according to her brother, if she can marry the Pei family successfully, it will be the best choice. Especially when she felt that since she had withdrawn from the Li family, it was best not to have anything to do with the people in Lin'an City. As a result, Gu Chang told her all the children of the family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there was really no more suitable person than Pei Yan.

Gu Chang also inquired that the Pei family had high hopes for Pei Yan before, and the daughters of people who were not above the rank of the third rank would not marry, and even the marriage contract between their family and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Li Xun family of Wenyuan Pavilion University was also true. But the marriage between the two families has not yet been booked, so Mrs. Pei went, and the marriage between Pei Yan and the Li family was put on hold.

Originally, they didn't dare to fight with the Li family, after all, the Li family and the Pei family had a marriage contract in advance. But just last month, I heard that the only third lady of the Li family to be married was engaged to the son of Yang Shoudao, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, which shows that the marriage contract between the Li family and the Pei family has changed.

It is difficult to find a son-in-law. Like Pei Yan, in the past, everyone thought that he had a verbal covenant with the Li family and would not fight him, but now that he is free, once the news spreads, I don't know how many people will be staring, not to mention their Gu family at that time, even the three aunts and six uncles of his mentor Zhang Ying's family are probably in a hurry to catch Pei Yan, the golden beetle son-in-law, to their house.

Gu Xi thought about it and sighed secretly.

Compared with the two, their Gu family is a little stronger than the Qian family. But the bad thing is that they have no friendship between the Gu family and the Pei family, especially between the female dependents, there is no one who can speak considerately with the Pei family's female dependents. If they entrusted their stepmother to act, their stepmother would have messed up this matter if she didn't make Pei Yan her niece-in-law. As for the others, it's even more unreliable.

Gu Chang thought about it, and then hit the idea on Mrs. Shen.

Of course, with Mrs. Shen's character, she is not the best person to do this, but she can let Mrs. Shen take Gu Xi to Pei's house, if she can make Gu Xi leave a good impression in Lao An's heart, compared to other hearsay girls, Gu Xi will have a greater chance of winning.

Gu Xi thought more easily than Gu Chang.

If Pei Yan was not as good as her brother said, even if her brother was the leader, she would not agree to this family business.

Rather than marrying a useless thing, and dealing with the front hall after marrying the back house, she would rather stay at home forever, be a high-spirited aunt and grandmother, and live a free life at home.

It's just that she's so strong. Although I don't know if she and Pei Yan have a fate, since she appeared in front of Lao Anren and the Pei family, she will be the best version of herself, show her best side, and let others give her a thumbs up when they talk about her.

Therefore, it is especially important to leave a good impression in front of Pei Laoan and the second wife of the Pei family.

Gu Xi drank tea with a dignified and elegant posture, secretly wondering how to inquire about Yu Tang's origin.

Yu Tang listened to Mrs. Shen's words, and the more he listened, the more strange he felt.

Mrs. Shen wanted to borrow a few days from Gu Xi's Pei family for a few days, the reason was that Shen Shanyan did not rent a house by herself in Lin'an, but lived in the county school, and there were too many scholars in the county school, and Shen Shanyan did not have an inner house and an outer courtyard, there was a difference between men and women, and it was inconvenient for her and Gu Xi to live there.

Yu Tang couldn't hold back and glanced at Mrs. Shen in surprise.

I haven't seen my husband for so long, shouldn't I be happy, and if I don't have a chance, I have to find a chance to stay with my husband? Why did you get to Mrs. Shen and stay away?

No matter how dull Yu Tang is, he can see that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen are at odds.

Could this be one of the reasons why Mr. Shen came to Lin'an without bringing his family?

She didn't know the answer, but Lao Anren didn't like Mrs. Shen, but she could see it clearly.

"You're a senior wife, what's so inconvenient about this?" Lao Anren was even a little stern when he said this, "I think you are too disciplined sometimes." At this age, it's better to relax if you can. ”

Mrs. Shen obviously didn't like to hear Lao An people say this, she said: "If it is inconvenient for Lao An people here, I will go to the inn to stay for two days first, but I don't feel at ease when Miss Gu follows me, and I ask Lao An people to take her in for a few days." ”

That's right.

No matter how good the inn is, I'm afraid of meeting the people who don't hesitate.

Lao Anren frowned, but finally took a step back and said, "I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for you to go to and from the county to study." If you think that's nothing, I'll say it here. I think you'll move in. I don't have much else here, just a lot of rooms. Stay in whichever room you want. ”

Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi moved in like this.

When she went out, Yu Tang asked Aunt Ji who sent her out: "Do you have many rooms in Hemingtang?" ”

She looked at the Heming Hall, which was a courtyard with five rooms and three entrances.

Aunt Ji has become more and more familiar with her these days, and she has spoken more casually.

"The courtyard next to it is also the place where the Ming Hall is located." She whispered to Yu Tang, "Heming Hall is the place where the old people and old ladies who lived in the widows of the Pei family lived in the past, and naturally there are many rooms. However, over the years, there have been many people in the Pei family, and there are few people like the old lady who have gone so early, and there is no concubine or aunt, so the room is empty. ”

Yu Tang shuddered.

Inexplicably, I feel that Hemingtang is a little gloomy.

Aunt Ji smiled when she saw it, and said, "You also came to worship the old lady last time." The Pei family is a big family and is very particular. If the people in the family are not good, there is a special yard. Where is Hemingtang gloomy? ”

Yu Tang smiled embarrassedly.

Aunt Ji said: "What's more, I don't do bad things in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." What is there to be afraid of! ”

Isn't it because of her own unbelievable experience that she believes in some things?

Yu Tang muttered in his heart and got on the sedan chair home.
