Chapter 207: The Clouds Come
Mrs. Chen lifted the curtain of the mule cart and talked to the Song family's mother-in-law, and on the mule cart behind, Chen quietly opened a curtain and looked out. When she turned around, she couldn't help but say to Yu Tang: "The Song family's carriage is really luxurious!" ”
Yu Tang was a little surprised.
Although her mother is only a poor and talented daughter, she has been studying with her grandfather since she was a child, and she doesn't attach much importance to money.
Yu Tang also curiously lifted a curtain crack and looked out.
The Song family's carriage is really too luxurious.
The brand-new green silk and cotton curtains, the four corners of the carriage are wrapped with gilded auspicious cloud patterns, the cowhide palace lamp is hung as thin as paper, decorated with long tassels, the horses pulling the carriage are all jujube red horses, and the escort entourage is all wearing parrot green silk short brown, and more than 30 carriages are lined up, blocking the road.
Not only that, Yu Tang also found that two of the carriages were very different, one of them was just taller and more spacious than the others, and the other carriage was embroidered with a white crane auspicious cloud pattern on the curtain and windows, and the patterns were also nailed with various colored gems, shining in the sun.
Looking at the Pei family again, it is all low-key bright blue, except that the frame of the mule cart looks relatively strong, and it is no different from the frame of their ordinary people in Lin'an.
The Song family is really wealthy!
The family style of the Song family is also more inclined to pleasure.
No wonder the Song family in the previous life would fall.
Yu Tang thought, closed the car window, and said to his mother: "After settling down in the wing room for a while, I have to ask Aunt Ji when she will go to ask Lao An to say goodbye." ”
Pei Lao'an people look young, in fact, they are not young anymore, this road is tiring, in case the people of the Song family come to visit Pei Lao'an people immediately, do they wait for Pei Lao'an people to rest before going over to say hello.
Chen nodded, smiled and instructed Mrs. Chen: "When the time comes, you can bring some snacks over." ”
Mrs. Chen also saw the Song family's Xuanhe, and she was scared in her heart, and said, "Let's let Shuangtao pass!" Shuangtao often walks around Pei's Mansion with Miss and understands the rules. If I make a mistake, I won't lose my face! ”
Chen's thinking about it also makes sense, and after ordering Shuangtao, he couldn't help but joke to Mrs. Chen: "And when are you afraid?!" ”
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Aren't I less knowledgeable? ”
Miss Five covered her mouth and smiled beside her.
After a while, the mule cart stopped in the courtyard.
Mrs. Chen got off the mule cart first, looked around for a long time, and then whispered to Chen, Yu Tang and others who got off the mule cart: "The Song family asked the Pei family to go first - I saw that the Song family's carriage was still waiting at the mountain gate!" ”
It can be seen that Pei Yan said that the Song family has something to ask the Pei family, so it makes sense to make a lot of courtesies to the Pei family.
Yu Tang smiled.
Mrs. Jin next to the second lady walked over quickly, saluted Chen and Yu Tang and said with a smile: "The second wife asked me to pick up Miss Five, let Miss Five stay in the room and don't run around." The people of the Peng family in Fu'an also came with the Song family, there are many children in the Peng family, and the Lao An people are afraid that there will be those ignorant people who will bump into the young ladies and wives, even if their family comes to apologize, but people are already frightened, and it is not cost-effective. ”
Chen was taken aback.
Lao Anren's meaning is to accuse the Peng family of having no rules?
She replied repeatedly.
The fifth lady could only reluctantly say goodbye to Yu Tang.
When the people of the Yu family entered the wing, Mrs. Chen began to decorate the wing, and the Chen family took Yu Tang's hand and said, "That Peng family, isn't it very domineering?" ”
Yu Tang thought of the Li family's groveling to the Peng family in his previous life, so he told the Chen family about the origin of the Peng family, and said: "In short, if this family can not contact it, try not to contact it." ”
Chen's chin bowed, and for a while he felt that he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to follow the Pei family to Zhaoming Temple to listen to the lectures.
It's just that they didn't wait for them to go to find Aunt Ji, but Aunt Ji came over first, followed by a few little maids, holding fruit bowls or boxes in their hands. She smiled and took Chen's hand: "Don't be surprised, madam. The Song family and the eldest lady of the Peng family went to greet Lao Anren together, Lao Anren was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so he specially ordered me to bring some melon and fruit snacks to pass the time for Mrs. and Miss. Today everyone will rest, tomorrow we have breakfast, we will sit together and talk, just listen to the master of Zhaoming Temple talk about what arrangements are there in the past few days? Let's see if I can meet with the senior monks of the South Shaolin Temple in advance and pray for a few young ladies. ”
Chen was overjoyed to hear this.
She felt that Yu Tang's marriage had not been going well, and if she could get the blessing of the monks, Yu Tang would definitely come to work soon.
"Thank you for me." Chen said sincerely, "I still know a few words, and the lecture has not yet begun, so I took this opportunity to copy two pages of Buddhist scriptures for Lao Anren." ”
This is Chen's intention, Aunt Ji has no right to put her beak, she said: "It's rare that you have a heart, I'll go and talk to Lao Anren." He asked Yu Tang again: "Didn't you say that you would send two boxes to hold the scriptures?" When will that box be delivered? ”
Yu Tang said embarrassedly: "I have to show the third master first!" ”
Aunt Ji smiled: "I see. I said, "Why hasn't your box arrived yet?" This matter has fallen into the hands of our third master, and I am afraid that there will be time for tossing. However, our third master's vision is also really good, but as long as he can see it, others will not say good. ”
"That's exactly what happened." Yu Tang smiled, "We can't rush this matter." ”
Only then did Chen know that Pei Lao'an had ordered two boxes in the Yu family's shop.
Sending away Aunt Ji, she asked about it carefully.
Yu Tang picked the important ones again and told his mother, and Mrs. Chen's side was almost cleaned.
The mother and daughter freshened up, ate the food sent by the temple, and took a nap.
When they woke up again, the wings with light and darkness and retreat had already been arranged. Chen lived in the east, Yu Tang lived in the west, and Mrs. Chen and Shuangtao lived in the regression behind. Hanging on the wall is Yu Tang's familiar central hall, on the table is the tea cup they brought from home, and even the flowers in the flower goblet on the long table are also seasonal fiery red pomegranates.
Mrs. Chen also smiled and pointed to the pomegranate flower and said, "The second wife just sent it over." ”
Chen smiled with satisfaction, took Yu Tang's hand and said, "No wonder you can live in the Pei family for so many days, the Pei family's hospitality is really homely." ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
After dinner with my mother, we took a walk in the small courtyard behind the wing.
They met the daughters of the Yang family who had come here for a walk.
The Yang family is said to be the third aunt of Yang Gongzi, and everyone calls her the third wife. He is in his early thirties, with good facial features, beautiful appearance, simple clothes and ornaments, but extraordinary temperament. Miss Xu held the third lady in a false way, and her words were indescribably respectful.
Chen and Yu Tang couldn't help but have a few words of greeting with them.
Miss Xu has always lowered her eyebrows and looked at her obediently, which is completely different from when Yu Tang met her on the first day.
Yu Tang couldn't help but glance at Miss Xu a few times.
Miss Xu took the time to make a flying eye at Yu Tang.
This girl is so lively!
I don't know what is different about the third wife of the Yang family, can suppress this Miss Xu?
Yu Tang carefully observed Mrs. Yang San.
Mrs. Yang San spoke unhurriedly, and she was a little humorous, she could catch what Chen said without saying anything, and she was quite able to take care of Chen's emotions, and she kept talking about topics that Chen was interested in.
Yu Tang also cheered up and listened to the two elders talking.
The little novices in the temple came to light the lamps.
Everyone went back to their respective rooms.
When Yu Tang and his mother soaked their feet together, he thought about whether to remind his mother a few words, and felt that the situation of the Pei family was complicated, and sometimes it was a good thing to not know it, so he changed his mind and only told his mother some anecdotes about the neighbors and families in the recent days.
The mother and daughter talked and laughed, wiped their feet and prepared to go to bed, Shuangtao walked in with two boxes, and said, "Ah Ming sent it over, saying that it was for Pei Lao'an." You see, what to do? ”
Pei Lao'an was waiting for the box to contain the scriptures, and Shuangtao was asking Yu Tang to show whether to send it overnight or make another arrangement.
Yu Tang thought for a moment and said: "Since it was sent by Ah Ming, it can be seen that the third master of these two boxes also thinks that they can be used, but he sent someone to us, obviously to let us take it to Pei Lao'an." It's too late today, so let's bring it over tomorrow when we go to greet Lao An. Then let Shuang Tao show her the two boxes.
One of the two boxes is a green bamboo pattern, and the other is a plum blossom pattern, all of which have bright lines and clear layers, looking magnificent, full of flowers, and even more dazzling under the shroud of lights.
Yu Tang was amazed.
Chen was surprised and stepped forward to rub the two boxes carefully, and asked in amazement, "Is this really made by our family?" ”
Shuangtao didn't know, and hesitated: "Ah Ming said that our family made it." ”
"That's great! That's nice! Chen praised, his eyes slightly moist.
Even she, who doesn't know how to do it, can see how well these two boxes are doing.
"Is Ah Ming still outside?" Chen asked, "People came over in the middle of the night, Ah Tang, you can reward others with a few silver bills." ”
This time I came to participate in the lecture meeting of Zhaoming Temple, and Yu Wen also made a small bag of silver coins according to the silver bills that Yu Tang got from Pei's house.
Yu Tang thought about it, she really hadn't appreciated Ah Ming.
"Then give him some silver bills." She said to Shuang Tao, "Just say it's given by my wife." ”
Twin Peach went away.
Chen blamed her: "This is to make a face for you, what are you pushing?" ”
Yu Tang smiled and said, "I've already said this, you don't care." Then he changed the subject and talked about the box.
Only then did the Chen family know that it was Pei Yan's credit that the family was able to make such a box.
She repeatedly told Yu Tang: "Then you should be filial to Lao Anren." People don't want you anything, and they can't figure out anything from you, they just want you to please Lao An, and Bo Laoan people smile. ”
Yu Tang couldn't stop responding "good", "I finally urged Chen to rest, but Shuangtao came in with a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest."
Yu Tangqi said: "Who sent this?" “
The bird's nest was packed in a stew pot of Ji red porcelain, and Ji red porcelain has always been a tribute, it could not be stewed by Mrs. Chen, and they didn't bring the bird's nest over.
Shuangtao smiled and said, "It was Ah Ming who just sent it over again." said that the third master knew that you and your wife had not rested, so he specially asked him to send it over. ”
