Early the next morning, Xu Xuan ran over.

Yu Tang was dressing Pei Yan, who was about to go out, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and asked the little maid who came: "Did Mrs. Yin say anything important?" ”

The little maid shook her head and said, "Mrs. Yin didn't say it." ”

Yu Tang asked the little maid to lead Xu Xuan to sit in the flower hall first, and continued to help Pei Yan tidy up his clothes.

Pei Yan snorted coldly unabashedly and said, "I'll come back early this afternoon, and I'll accompany you to the street to have a look." ”

There is a dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival in Beijing, and he is going to accompany Yu Tang to watch the dragon boat race, so he went to Zhang's mansion to say hello in advance today, and he won't go to say hello to Mr. Zhang on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yu Tang wanted to laugh when she thought of Pei Yan complaining last night that she had learned badly with Xu Xuan, but considering Pei Yan's bottom line, she had no choice but to hold back, and said with a smile: "I know!" I'll be ready in advance. ”

Pei Yan nodded with satisfaction, but when he ran into Xu Xuan when he went out, he still passed by Xu Xuan with a cold face.

Xu Xuan touched her head and looked at Pei Yan's back unconsciously, then at Yu Tang, and said, "What's wrong with him?" Did you quarrel? Before the words fell, she denied it again, "No, you shouldn't have quarreled." Pei Yaoguang, if he quarrels with you, he will definitely be angry, he looks like this, he doesn't look like he is angry, as if he doesn't want to see me. Where am I messing with him again? Then, she began to complain to Yu Tang about Pei Yan, "It's not that I said your Pei Yaoguang, his temper is really stinky." That is, you have a good temper and can live with him. According to me, if he does this again, you might as well leave him alone in the capital......"

Yu Tang smiled, personally took the loquat washed by the little maid and handed it over, and said, "You taste it, it was just sent from Fujian a few days ago." ”

The golden loquat made Xu Xuan have a big appetite, and he didn't pursue Pei Yan's cold face anymore.

Yu Tang asked her, "Is there something wrong with you coming over so early?" ”

Xu Xuan hurriedly swallowed the loquat in her mouth and said, "It's really a bit of a problem." ”

Yu Tang listened attentively.

Xu Xuan said: "I helped you ask Yin Mingyuan last night, it is said that the eldest son of the Qin family is good in terms of appearance, character, and talent, if it is a marriage, he is a very good candidate." But I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I asked Yin Mingyuan to inquire carefully, and I also found my mother's fourth sister-in-law, she likes to visit the door very much, and she will definitely be able to inquire about the affairs of the Qin family. ”

This helped the Pei family a lot.

Yu Tang was very grateful, and decided to wait for Xu Xuan's news to be more certain, and then ask the second wife to come over and talk to Xu Xuan.

The topic of the two unconsciously shifted to Fei Zhiwen.

Xu Xuan told Yu Tang: "Mrs. Fei will be in the capital in the next two days, most of which is related to Fei Qianwen's marriage. Whether your family wants to marry the Qin family or not, you also have to make an idea. ”

In families like them, sometimes the marriage can be decided without the children being good, mainly depending on the political position of the parents.

Yu Tang said with a smile: "Then wait until the marriage of the Fei and Qin families is decided." ”

Xu Xuan talked about Xing Zhengnong, and told Yu Tang a lot of anecdotes about the capital, and asked the two families to watch the dragon boat race together.

Yu Tang looked at her big belly and hesitated, "Are you doing this?" ”

"Gee, we'll talk about it then." Xu Xuan waved her hand disapprerovingly, "I'll hand over this kind of thing to Yin Mingyuan." ”

Speaking of which, Yin Mingyuan's temperament is indeed very gentle.

In the afternoon, Pei Yan really came back early, Xu Xuan heard the sound and knew the elegance, and got up in advance to go home.

Yu Tang felt a little sorry for Xu Xuan, so he took a large basket of cherries for Xu Xuan to take back to eat.

Xu Xuan didn't want it, and said, "I can't eat it even if I bring it back." If you really want to help me, let me store this cherry with you, and you can let the little maid wash it every time I come. ”

Yu Tang saw that she was affectionate, so she had to agree.

Pei Yan said coldly beside him: "Isn't there still Yin Mingyuan?" If he can't even eat a few cherries if you want to, what will he be a good husband? Then he instructed the servant, "Help Mrs. Yin move to the car!" And said, "Don't worry, you come to our house, you can eat as many cherries as you want, and you are guaranteed to be unable to stop talking." ”

That's what I said.

Xu Xuan was unhappy on the spot, and said, "Are you saying that our family Mingyuan is not as good as you?" You just rely on our Ah Tang's good temper. “

Pei Yan's eyes were cold.

Xu Xuan raised her head and sneered, "I don't want to embarrass Ah Tang." ”

The implication is that you dare to be so willful because you didn't take Yu Tang in your eyes.

Pei Yan's face turned blue with anger.

Xu Xuan quietly squeezed Yu Tang's hand, apologized in a low voice, and said, "I really can't get used to seeing him like this, so I have to ask you to come forward and coax him." Then he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Yu Tang couldn't cry or laugh, and comforted Pei Yan: "She is also kind-hearted, you should treat her as a child." ”

Pei Yan said: "If she is a child, can she talk in front of you every day?" ”

Yu Tang smiled: "Didn't you say that a slap doesn't make a sound?" I love hearing her say that, too! ”

Pei Yan was angry.

Yu Tang had no choice but to continue to coax him: "Didn't you say that you accompanied me on the street?" If we continue to talk about this at home, I'm afraid the shop will be closed. ”

The shops in the capital closed their stalls earlier than they were in Lin'an. Usually the doors are closed one after another in the evening, but most of the shops in Lin'an are open until the time of the handlamp.

Yu Tang talked to Pei Yan about this in the carriage.

Pei Yan said: "It's because of the climate. It's cold in the north, especially at night, when everyone goes back to the house, who still comes out to shop? ”

His temper comes and goes quickly.

The two talked and laughed, in addition to recognizing the face of the century-old brand, they also bought a lot of food and knick-knacks that had nothing to do with the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qingyuan smiled and helped Yu Tang pack his things, and Gu Xi came over.

Yu Tang was a little surprised.

Although she lives in Pei Mansion, Yu Tang doesn't like to contact her very much, so she doesn't have to worry about her morning and dusk, and there are not many times when the two meet.

Yu Tang invited Gu Xi in.

Gu Xi's eyes swirled around the messy small objects on the table, and then he sat down on the Taishi chair next to him with a smile, and talked about the purpose of this time: "...... My aunt asked me to ask if there was anything you didn't eat, and she would tell the kitchen to be careful. ”

Is this to take Yu Tang as the main guest?

Yu Tang thought that the head of the Yang family invited the second wife.

Yu Tang simply told Gu Xi of his decision: "Something happened here temporarily, I'm afraid I can't go to Yang's house as a guest." Since you're here, why don't you help me bring a letter to the Yang family. ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically.

In fact, I was thinking in my heart, since you like to find things with a pole, then you can do something well.

Gu Xi was very surprised, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Is it because Old Madam Fei is coming to the capital?" ”

Yu Tang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I didn't expect Gu Xi's news to be so well-informed.

Gu Xi saw it clearly, but he recognized Yu Tang's raised eyebrows as surprise, and simply didn't hide his pride, and pretended to be indifferent: "I heard what the third young grandmother of the Li family said." She is about the same age as me, and her mother's ancestral home is Tonglu. and the in-laws of the second lady of our family are fellow villagers. ”

The second lady of the Pei family married to Tonglu.

Gu Xi, like to make friends with the housewives of these wealthy families as much as in his previous life.

She also said smartly: "Are you going to go to Fei's house as a guest?" Is the second uncle going? Do I need to get ready, too? ”

"Our family hasn't received an invitation from the Fei family yet." Yu Tang said, "It's not that I pushed the Yang family's table to go to the Fei family, but there is something else." ”

What could be more important during this period of time than the old lady of the Fei family coming to the capital?

The so-called didn't get the invitation, but I didn't think about whether to take her or not, right?

Thinking about it this way, there are still pros and cons to her alienation of Yu Tang.

But is it still for her to tie up Yu Tang?

Gu Xi felt that he had seen through this matter, and responded with a smile, and said with a smile that was a little embarrassed: "If the Yang family insists, how should I say it?" I can't say that our family is going to say hello to Mrs. Fei when the time comes, okay? ”

Yu Tang felt that Gu Xi had made another mistake in her previous life and forced her to make a fool of herself.

She suddenly felt dissatisfied, thinking that in her previous life, because of her status as a widow and brother-in-law, it was difficult to refute, now that I am your aunt, what else do you have to handle?

"Then it's up to you." Yu Tang smiled quietly, "If you think this excuse is appropriate, then use this excuse!" ”

When I saw it, it was me, the housewife, or you, the niece and daughter-in-law who acted on behalf of the Pei family.

Gu Xi reacted immediately.

If she said so, others would not say that the Pei family was snobbish, but would only say that she couldn't do things, and she wouldn't even speak.

Gu Xi was a little frustrated, but when she looked up, she saw Yu Tang smiling slightly at her.

She did it on purpose, right?

Gu Xi's first thought was to stand up and scold Yu Tang, but those words rolled on the tip of her tongue and she swallowed it again.

Yu Tang is her elder after all, even if she wins, others will accuse her, and when Yu Tang embarrasses her, she will feel that she is disrespectful.

This is her natural disadvantage in the relationship with Yu Tang, and there is no way to get rid of the gap.

Gu Xi cursed secretly in his heart. When she saw everyone in the Yang family, she had to swallow her anger to make excuses for Yu Tang's decision, and check and fill in the gaps: "It's not that I don't want to visit the Yang family, it's really that something is suddenly delayed, and I can't come." ”

Pei Tong's grandmother, that is, Mrs. Yang, was so angry that her forehead was bruised, and she asked Gu Xi with a sneer: "You are Ah Tong's daughter-in-law, tell me the truth, is she really in trouble or is she teasing our Yang family?" ”

Invite the two wives of the Pei family to come over as guests, especially Pei Xuan is now the servant of the household, in charge of the seal of the salt introduction, I don't know how many people want to take this relationship, the Yang family will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, in addition to their own relatives, they also invited some housewives of the official eunuchs who are good friends with their own family, Yu Tang said that if he can't come, he won't come, what to do with the prepared banquet It's easy to say, but how can those housewives who are in charge explain?

Isn't this rubbing the Yang family's face under the soles of their feet?

This Yu clan is too much!

Old Madam Yang's hand slapped heavily on the coffee table, and her eyes shot at Gu Xi like an arrow: "You are a child, too, an adult's business, what do you mix with it?" It's so ignorant! ”
