Chapter 35: By Boat
Pei Yan wore a bamboo blue muslin straight jacket, and he didn't even insert a hairpin, let alone other ornaments, he was clean and clean, still with a cloudy face, and he didn't care about anything. Zhou Zijin wore a brocade robe with purple and red royal blue folded branches and flowers, jade pendants, gold three things, purses and other things hanging around his waist, a jasper hairpin on his head, and a red lacquer and gold folding fan in his hand, and Pei Yan was talking about something, Pei Yan nodded from time to time, and his attitude was quite perfunctory.
There was a boat parked in front of them.
The two-masted sailing ship, more than ten zhang long, the bright paulownia paint can shine the shadow of people, the carved window lattice, the white gauze curtain, and the paulownia lacquer lantern hanging.
It was not the boat that Zhou Zijin took when he came that day.
Compared with the boat that Zhou Zijin sat on that day, it was smaller and more exquisite.
Pei Man instructed the servants to carry the cage by the side of the boat, looking at who was going out.
Yu Tang stretched his neck and glanced at it.
Yu Wen perked up, and said to Yu Tang and Yu Yuan with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet the third master of the Pei family here, you guys are waiting here, I'll go say hello." ”
Yu Tang remembered Pei Yan's arrogance and rudeness, and didn't want his father's hot face to stick to his cold face, so he pulled Yu Wen's sleeve and said in a low voice: "He didn't see us, and he still has friends, do we have to go up and say hello to him?" ”
The most important thing is that her father is not ready to take the exam again, nor is he ready to be an official, is it necessary to be so close to the Pei family?
Yu Wen said: "The third master of the Pei family is not bad. Didn't I help over there when the old lady of the Pei family went? The third master of the Pei family came to greet us every day, and also sent two small servants to serve us, who were courteous and sincere. Now that you have encountered it, how can you not see it? ”
But if you value others, others may not value you?
Yu Tang pulled Yu Wen's sleeve and said, "Daddy, our ship is almost here." ”
They took a passenger boat to the city of Hangzhou.
Yu Wen said: "It's still early. The ship has arrived, and it has to dock at the pier for a quarter of an hour, and it will not be late. With that, he rolled off his sleeves and was about to pass.
Yu Tang was so angry that he secretly stomped his feet.
As a result, Yuwen stopped and turned around as if he remembered something.
Yu Tang was overjoyed, thinking that Yu Wen had changed his mind.
Who knew that Yu Wen beckoned to Yu Yuan and said, "You also go with me to say hello to the third master of the Pei family." It just so happens that Pei Man is also there, and he is familiar with him in front of him, so it will be more convenient for you to find him if you have anything in the future. ”
Her father took the initiative to greet Pei Yan, and her lobby brother had to make a familiar face in front of Pei Man, and Yu Tang was so angry.
But Yu Yuan had already run away with her father happily, and it was useless for her to be angry.
Yu Tang covered her eyes, not wanting to see her father being treated coldly by Pei Yan, but to her surprise, Pei Yan was quite polite to her father, and he raised his eyelids to look at her while speaking. Because of his glance, Zhou Zijin also noticed her and looked at her, and then didn't know what to say to her father, her father waved his hand vigorously, Zhou Zijin laughed a few times, and looked at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan had a cold face and didn't say anything.
Zhou Zijin stopped talking.
Pei Yan shouted Pei Man.
Pei Man dropped what he was doing and immediately strode over.
Pei Yan pointed at Yu Yuan.
Pei Man bowed to Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan hurriedly returned the salute, looking a little nervous.
Pei Yan said a few more words, Yu Yuan saluted Pei Man again, Pei Man returned the salute, turned around and went to do his business again.
Yu Wen and Pei Yan said a few words, and Pei Yan nodded. Yu Wen said hello to Zhou Zijin again, and everyone dispersed.
Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as her father came over, she couldn't wait to ask, "Daddy, what did the third master of the Pei family tell you?" ”
Yu Wen was flushed, very happy, and said: "The third master of the Pei family is really good, and his friend is also good, I heard that we are going to Hangzhou City, and they will stop by the way, please take a boat with them, I look at the appearance of the third master of the Pei family, as if there is something important, so I politely refused, and the third master of the Pei family really did not keep me." However, it is not unreasonable for him to be able to observe politics in Liubu at a young age, and I only spoke a few words to him, and he called Pei Man over to introduce you to your brother. With this eyesight, he will definitely have a smooth career in the future and soar. ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips in his heart.
What career went smoothly and soared, he didn't become an official at all.
And he was in Liubu at a young age, wasn't it because he was admitted to the Jishi? It shouldn't have anything to do with whether he has eyesight, right?
As for her father's praise of Pei Yan, she didn't believe it at all, thinking that her father would praise him like this because he saw him with kindness.
Otherwise, Zhou Zijin offered to take a boat to Hangzhou with them, why didn't he say a few polite words?
He didn't want to go with them at all.
And he didn't even want to maintain the most basic face, so he didn't say a word of politeness.
Yu Tang suddenly remembered the last time she met Pei Yan, Pei Yan looked at her.
It's infuriating!
She puffed out her cheeks.
But Yu Yuan was also full of praise for Pei Yan: "Kind and polite, not arrogant at all, I thought that a young and ambitious person like him was very high-minded, and he was not very willing to deal with people like us." The third master of the Pei family is worthy of being a scholar, with poetry and books, self-cultivation, and bearing. ”
Yu Tang couldn't listen to it anymore, and said, "Brother, what do you mean by 'people like us', what's wrong with our family?" Don't be presumptuous! ”
Yu Yuan was stunned.
Yu Wen smiled, patted his nephew on the shoulder and said, "I thought you should follow me to study hard, but the eldest brother insisted that you follow him to do business." See? Reading people is more respected than others. You don't have a chance to study anymore, and your children can't follow your old path in the future, even if you sell all the shops at home, you have to provide them with education. ”
Yu Yuanshen thought so and kept nodding.
Yu Tang didn't think so, she defended Yu Yuan: "If my brother doesn't follow my uncle to do business, don't say that my uncle is on my side, it's our side, I'm afraid that food, clothing and chewing will be a problem." I think my uncle did the right thing. ”
"You kid!" Yu Wen said, "How can it be like a firecracker, just a little bit." No, it's not clicked. I didn't say anything, but I just hope that your brother's vision will be long-term, and the child must study. ”
Father and daughter, you and I said a word, and the ship came.
Yu Tang boarded the ship with his father and brother.
Before entering the cabin, she couldn't help but glance at Pei Yan.
The minions were still moving the cages.
She thought of the scene when Zhou Zijin came, and couldn't help but ask Yu Yuan in a low voice: "Brother, what are they doing in Hangzhou City?" Is the third master of the Pei family also going? ”
Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Pei Yan's side, and said: "I heard that Zhou Zhuangyuan said that the newly appointed Zhejiang Tixue Yushi is the same door of Master Pei San, and Zhou Zhuangyuan seems to have something to find that Tixue Yushi, and pull Master Pei San over with him." Otherwise, Master Pei San is still in the filial piety period, how could he casually run to Hangzhou City. ”
Yu Tang was a little surprised, and maliciously guessed Pei Yan in his heart.
Maybe he said these things to her father, just so that her father could help him tell others about his intention to go to Hangzhou, lest anyone think that he was not at home during the filial piety period and went to Hangzhou to play.
Yu Tang despised Pei Yan again.
There are not many people on the boat today, and there are many empty seats.
They found a corner and sat down.
After the boat started, the cool breeze of early autumn blew on people's faces, refreshing and cool, and very comfortable.
Yu Yuan went to help Yu Wen's father and daughter buy refreshments, and the three of them drank tea and chatted.
Yu Wen asked Yu Tang: "Do you have any places you want to go?" Or is there something you want to buy? ”
Yu Tang is worried about painting, how can he be in the mood to play? However, since she arrived in Hangzhou City, why did she have to bring something back to her mother and Ma Xiuniang.
She took her father's arm and said with a smile, "Can you buy a few handkerchiefs and headscarves to go back?" ”
Yu Wen was surprised and said with a smile: "Do you only buy these?" ”
Every time he went out, Yu Tang couldn't wait to open a long list and let him buy them all.
Yu Tang blushed and snorted, "Aren't I ignorant?" ”
Yu Wen laughed when he heard this, but his heart was unusually proper, he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about money, you can buy whatever you want." After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the income of the grange will be handed over, and the family will have money to use. ”
Yu Tang sighed secretly.
Why didn't she find out in her previous life that her father was a man who ate food.
However, she seems to be ...... too
Yu Tang was stunned.
Someone exclaimed through the window.
The people in the cabin were alarmed and looked out.
They saw a two-masted ship paddling like a fish on the water, riding the wind and waves to pass by them.
"It's the Pei family's ship!" Someone shouted, "I've seen it." When Mrs. Pei was alive, every time she went to Hangzhou City, she took such a boat. ”
"Really?" The man didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he did, more people went to the window of the boat to look.
"So fast!"
"It's beautiful!"
The crowd praised.
Someone shouted: "Look, is that an official card?" Who is literate, take a look at what is written? ”
Yu Yuan also looked at it.
Yu Tang pulled him back and said, "Brother, what's so nice about this." It's just a ship. It's as if others think we haven't seen it. ”
Yu Yuan smiled and said, "Aren't I envious?" It would be nice if our family could sail such a boat one day. ”
Yu Tang pouted.
Yu Yuan touched her head and said, "Ah Tang, don't be angry." In the future, Brother will definitely make good money and let your nephew study hard. When Ah Tang returns to his parents' house, I will ask your nephew to also put up an official sign and use such a big boat to pick you up. ”
What kind of nonsense are they talking about!
Yu Tang said: "I'll just stay at home, go back to my mother's house?!" ”
Yu Yuan smiled wistfully and looked at Yu Wen as if asking for help.
Yu Wen, who was silent just now, slapped the table and said, "Ah Tang is right." You should do a good job in business first, and then find a way to let your children and grandchildren study. The Pei family is like this. When I first moved here, I didn't immediately participate in the imperial examination, and it didn't start until the second generation. Then he said to Yu Yuan: "I have misunderstood your father all these years, and when I return to Lin'an, I will invite my eldest brother to drink!" ”
Yu Yuan said embarrassedly, "Don't dare."
Yu Tang didn't even have the interest to speak.
How do you meet people from the Pei family everywhere, and mention the Pei family in everything!
Can't she live in a place without Pei Yan and without Pei Family?
It's so angry!
