said that he was going to take a look, but because he didn't know what the situation was like outside, Yu Tang just pushed open the crack in the window and looked out.

There was no one in the yard.

The commotion seemed to be coming from outside the courtyard.

Yu Tang was hesitating to go out and have a look, when he saw five or six mothers-in-law, seven or eight maids, surrounded by two women, and walked in.

The mothers-in-law and maids were all dressed in bright blue muslin armor and white silk flowers the size of wine cups.

Both women were tall and tall. One was dressed in plain white, and only a pair of pearl earrings the size of lotus seeds fell on his ears. The other wore a silver-white striped Hangzhou silk shirt, a cyan pleated skirt, two red gold bluestone hairpins inserted in his hair, and a pair of green jade bracelets on his wrists.

"You're here to watch." Yu Tang saw the woman in the Hangzhou silk shirt coldly ordered the mothers-in-law and maids, "Don't let anyone in!" ”

The mother-in-law and maids stopped in unison, half-squatting to make a blessing salute, and respectfully responded "yes".

The woman in the Hangzhou silk shirt pulled the plain white woman and walked towards Yu Tang.

I wonder what these two women are going to do?

Yu Tang was a little unable to see through.

At first glance, these two women were the ladies of the noble family.

If you are a guest of the Pei family and want to rest in this courtyard, the Pei family should arrange for her mother-in-law and maid to lead the way in front?

If it is the daughter of the Pei family, she will come to trouble them because of Aunt Ji...... They don't seem to have such a big face in the Yu family?

Did they borrow this secluded courtyard to whisper?

Yu Tang hesitated, the two women had already walked up the steps of the east wing hand in hand, and Yu Tang also saw the appearance of the two women clearly.

The one wearing a Hangzhou silk shirt has a long face, willow eyebrows, a hanging nose, and a small cherry mouth, with a delicate and beautiful face like a fine brushstroke, but his eyes are frosty, his expression is arrogant, and he is very difficult to approach.

The one who was plain white was obviously filial piety, with a melon seed face, almond eyes, red eyes, and a haggard look.

Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people.

Yu Tang suddenly regretted that he hadn't made a noise before, so that the two women knew that there were other people's in this small courtyard. But before she could make amends, the woman in the Hangzhou silk shirt had already opened her mouth to blame the woman who was dressed in plain white filial piety: "Why are you so confused? Seeing that the situation is not right, I should find a way to inform your brother and me as soon as possible. Look at you, now in a hurry, is it still useful? Pei Laosan took your father-in-law's dying will as an arrow, and it was too late for us to oppose it! ”

Pei Laosan?

Father-in-law?

Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.

The filial woman is the eldest wife of the Pei family?

The woman in the Hangzhou silk shirt is the sister-in-law of the eldest lady's mother's family?

Are they going to privately criticize the third master of the Pei family for doing the things of the sect master?

Yu Tang was so made by this sudden change that he lost his square inch for a while, and his hairs stood on end.

This big family, no matter how many dirty things there are inside, on the surface, they have to act like a father and son, brothers, friends and brothers.

Mrs. Pei obviously has something to say to her sister-in-law.

She encountered such a private matter, she and her mother will not be silenced, right?

Yu Tang was very uneasy, and subconsciously turned around and made a "silence" gesture towards her mother.

Chen Shi was strange, and before she could speak, Mrs. Pei's voice came in: "How do I know that I will raise a poisonous snake that eats people?" I think about how much I begged him in front of the old lady and the old lady when he was disobedient. He didn't study well, and it was me, and I personally begged my father to give him a private lesson, otherwise he would be able to get the title of the gold list and be admitted to the Jishi? It's also him, who is talking about marrying a woman who is filial and obedient, your sister-in-law has taken a fancy to him, but he has shirked it in every possible way, if it weren't for me, he would have been admitted to the Shu Jishi, can he be as smooth as he is now in the six departments of politics? ”

"Alright, alright!" Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said in an unkind tone, "What are you doing with it in the past?" Speaking of which, he still thinks my mother's family is too low. The water flows low, and the people go high. This is also human nature. To blame, it's only to blame my mother's brother for not being angry and not being able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. ”

I actually heard such exciting news.

Yu Tang and Chen looked at each other, and they didn't dare to come out.

"How can you blame my sister-in-law for this!" Mrs. Pei estimated that she was very angry when she mentioned this matter, and said, "If you want to say it, the third child doesn't know how to lift ......."

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said that it was not strange, but in fact, she should still be holding her breath in her heart, and when she heard this, she interrupted Mrs. Pei's words with a sneer: "You think he doesn't know how to lift!" The people's abacus was very good, pushed our family, and turned around and caught up with the Li family. ”

"The Li family?" Mrs. Pei exclaimed, "The Book of the Ministry of Rites, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, Li Xunjia? ”

"Except for that Li family, do you think there is any other Li family that can be taken in Pei Laosan's eyes?" Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law sneered, "It seems that you don't know about this matter." I said you were stupid before, so you should guard against Pei Laosan. You don't listen. Now you know it's amazing, right? Your old lady is biased! If you want to talk about the Li family, the third lady of their family is the same age as our Tongguan, if it is for the good of the Pei family, we can marry our Tongguan and the Li family. ”

"Sister-in-law, are you mistaken?" Mrs. Pei couldn't believe it, "There was no rumor at all before." ”

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law snorted coldly and said, "I may have heard other things wrong, but this matter will never be wrong." Mrs. Li heard that our two families were in-laws, so she quietly found me and wanted to inquire about the matter in Pei Laosan's room, I can still be mistaken! ”

Mrs. Pei gasped.

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said: "Your old lady died of a sudden illness, and your second master and Pei Laosan must be filial piety for three years." Three years from now, who knows what will happen? What matters now is Pei Laosan's position as the suzerain. You know Pei Laosan's temperament, there is no tolerance at all, his eldest brother treats him so well, but what about him, he turns his face when he says it, and he whispers about it with a little affection. If he sits firmly in the position of the suzerain, the long house will be finished. ”

Mrs. Pei hesitated: "Can he still block our family officials from going to the scientific examination?" Dad also said, our family Tongguan is a student of reading, as long as our family Tongguan can succeed in his career, what can he do to us? The Pei family still has to rely on our Tongguan'er to glorify their ancestors! ”

Mrs. Pei is still quite discerning.

Yu Tang listened and thought secretly in his heart.

In his previous life, in the fifth year after the death of Mrs. Pei, the eldest young master of the Pei family was admitted to the Juren, and later to the Jinshi.

It's just that in her previous life, she was so focused on how to escape from the Li family, and she didn't know much about the Pei family, so she didn't know what happened to the eldest young master of the Pei family?

However, she heard Mrs. Li discuss with Li Duan in private, saying that Mrs. Pei has a well-connected father, and there is a brother who is tired of officials, and even if the eldest young master of the Pei family does not rely on the Pei family, the future will not be too bad.

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law didn't think so, and said, "You are really like what your mother-in-law said, Bai Chang is such a big man." Tongguan has had to keep filial piety to his uncle in Lin'an for the past three years, Pei Laosan has become the sect master, and he is Tongguan's uncle, even if your father-in-law and your brother want to take him to our house to study, he has to agree. Not to mention anything else, if he is determined to keep Tongguan to study in Lin'an, and he doesn't guide him well, let alone three years, it will be thirty years, and Tongguan will not want to come out. ”

This sister-in-law of the eldest lady of the Pei family is here to stir up trouble, not to solve the problem, right?

The more Yu Tang listened, the more he felt that Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law had a taste of watching a play and not being afraid of the stage, not like she was really planning for Mrs. Pei.

However, Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law is really right about one thing.

In his previous life, Master Pei stayed in Lin'an until his filial piety expired, and he did not participate in the imperial examination, but Mrs. Pei's father was critically ill, and he brought a letter saying that he wanted to see Master Pei before he died.

The truth is really as Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said?!

Yu Tang once again felt that the water of the Pei family was deep, and it was better for them to hide from ordinary people.

"Sister-in-law, what do you say?" Mrs. Pei listened to her sister-in-law's words and said hurriedly, "Now that the wood is in the boat, can we still jump out to oppose the old lady's last words?" Wouldn't others say that I want to fight with my brother-in-law for property! Doesn't this ruin the reputation of Tongguan? ”

"Why don't you open your mind!" Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said hatefully, "Isn't there still Second Master Pei?" Even if the position of the sect master is not your turn, you can't just give it to Pei Laosan! ”

"It's impossible!" Mrs. Pei said, "The second uncle has always been honest and loyal, and it is impossible for him to fight for this." Besides, it's not good for him to fight for this, right? ”

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said: "He won't come out to fight for this, but he can come forward and say something fair!" Doesn't the Pei family have two other branches? Master Yi, Master Wang, don't you have anything to say? You don't want the Pei family's large amount of property, and Master Yi and Master Wang are not uncommon? Aren't the two of them like yours, who have been reading for generations? If it were me, what I wouldn't get, others wouldn't want to get easily. ”

Mrs. Pei was silent for a long time.

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law didn't urge her, she didn't know what she was doing, it was quiet under the eaves, and there was no voice.

Yu Tang and his mother held their breath, for fear of being discovered.

I don't know how long it took, Mrs. Pei said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, I listen to you about this matter!" ”

Yu Tang heard Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law's words with joy, and said with satisfaction: "You should have been like this a long time ago!" In the past, you had your uncle to protect you, so you naturally didn't have to care about anything, but now, your uncle is gone, even if it is for the sake of your two nephews, you have to be strong! ”

Mrs. Pei Da said "um".

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said, "Come here with your ears, and I'll tell you what to do!" ”

Yu Tang saw Mrs. Pei and her sister-in-law's heads together.

I can't hear what I said.

Is this a personal witness to Mrs. Pei's magic moment?

Yu Tang shook his head.

I don't know what kind of conflict there is between Changfang and Master Pei San, so that they must be divided between each other. Unfortunately, the long house ultimately failed.

Finally, Mrs. Pei and her sister-in-law left, Yu Tang and Chen both breathed a long sigh of relief, and Chen repeatedly told her daughter in fear: "What you hear must rot in your stomach." The housework is all about the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public saying that the public is reasonable. We are not parties and cannot meddle in other people's affairs. ”

Yu Tang nodded again and again.

Chen was still not at ease, so he cursed Yu Tang and swore an oath, and then let Yu Tang go.
