Chapter 23 I don't know
Yu Tang was really afraid of the recurrence of the old things, and had a relationship with the Li family again, and was unwilling to sweep away Ma Xiuniang's interest, so she quietly recruited Ah Tao: "You go back and tell my mother that Mrs. Li lied, and before I go home, I can't promise the Li family anything anyway." β
Ah Tao was a little confused, but today Yu Tang came to see the second young master of the Li family, and just now he talked to the second young master of the Li family, Yu Tang couldn't wait to get home and asked him to report the news, presumably this matter is very important, so he hurriedly responded and ran down the mountain with a smoke.
Yu Tang's heart was slightly calm, so he was in the mood to accompany Ma Xiuniang to wash the pen spring.
Ma Xiuniang began to be a little suspicious in her heart, and said, "Did the second young master of the Li family say something inappropriate?" I just heard them heckle! β
In her heart, such a man's character is absolutely not good, no matter how good her family background is, no matter how handsome she looks, she can't agree.
In two lives, Li Jun didn't do anything to be sorry for Yu Tang, and Yu Tang couldn't wronged him because he was a child of the Li family.
She said, "Not really." It's just that I don't like to look like him. β
Ma Xiuniang was a little pity and said, "Then there is no way." It's like greens and turnips, each with its own love. Reluctantly. β
The more Yu Tang gets along with Ma Xiuniang, the more she feels that she is transparent and considerate, and she is a rare person to befriend.
She smiled and took Ma Xiuniang's arm, called "sister" affectionately, and talked about the topic she was interested in: "Has the marriage date between you and Zhang Gongzi been set?" When the time comes, I still have to beat furniture, order wedding cakes, and invite all the blessed people, will it be too late? β
"Just in time!" Ma Xiuniang was really diverted, she said happily about herself, "Furniture or something, my mother made two camphor wood boxes for me before, and the rest, just follow the Zhang family first, how many count......"
The two of them talked, and soon arrived at the Washing Pen Spring.
The spring is a small spring, under the spring is a small depression half hidden in the rocks and half exposed, no more than three feet wide, no more than knees deep, clear to the bottom, next to two thick trees, I don't know what kind of tree, but the crown is like an umbrella, low on the puddle, and there are unknown blades of grass falling on the water.
Seven or eight women were fetching water around the small pool.
Zhang Hui and the little servant stood far away beside a large bluestone lying horizontally, and saw their eyes light up.
Ma Xiuniang pursed her lips and smiled.
The two of them didn't say a word, but their eyebrows were full of joy, which made people feel happy when they looked at it.
Yu Tang saw that the mountain road leading to Xibi Spring continued to wind upward, as if it could climb up, so he couldn't help but smile and whispered to Ma Xiuniang: "Do you want to climb the mountain?" The magpie and I will rest here for a while, drink some water and then go. β
Ma Xiuniang's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "You can go climbing the mountain with us." β
Yu Tang shook his head again and again, and said, "I'm tired of walking, I want to rest here!" β
Ma Xiuniang naturally couldn't leave her alone, and what else to say, Yu Tang had already said: "I just met the second young master of the Li family, I want to be quiet first, and think about what to do in the future." β
Ma Xiuniang thought about it, it was not good to persuade her again, she told the magpie a few words, and saw that the number of people who came to fetch water gradually decreased, so she gave Zhang Hui a look and went to the mountain first.
Zhang Hui didn't know what was going on, she glanced at Yu Tang curiously, and waited for Ma Xiuniang to walk a distance before she followed.
Yu Tang is really thinking about what to do in the future.
The affairs of the Li family must be investigated, otherwise even if she recruits a son-in-law at home, it will be very easy for the Li family to deal with their family.
In her previous life, she had seen the methods of the Li family.
I don't know why, Yu Tang suddenly thought of Master Pei San.
It suddenly occurred to her that she was not entirely right.
If they asked the Pei family for protection, the Li family would definitely not dare to deal with their family at will.
The problem lies in the word "casual".
Why did the Pei family fight against the Li family for their family?
How important is what the Lin family wants to the Li family, and will the Li family be willing to fight against the Pei family because of this?
Thinking of this, Yu Tang was a little irritable.
Why does their family have to rely on the Pei family or obey the Li family?
Speaking of which, their family is not strong enough.
But their family is thin, and it's too late to let Brother Lobby go to study at this time!
After all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near.
Is there a second way?
Continue to do business and move out of Lin'an?
There are more dignitaries and nobles in Hangzhou, they are outsiders, it is difficult to get the protection of the family, it is better to be in Lin'an, at least surrounded by villagers who know the roots, the Yu family has always been kind to people, if there is something in their family, the neighbors are also willing to help.
In her previous life, after the death of her parents, she had received a lot of help from them.
Ay!
It's really hard to be on the left and the right.
If Master Pei San encounters such a thing, I don't know how he will break the siege?
Yu Tang was worried there.
The magpie saw her sitting there quietly for almost two quarters of an hour, and she was a little bored, and she broke a branch to make a flower crown in the nearby place where she could be seen at a glance.
Someone came again to fetch water.
Yu Tang glanced at it casually.
He was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, combed with double horns, wearing a green lotus-colored Hangzhou silk robe, holding a small wooden barrel in his arms, with a round face and puffy puffs, and looked very pleasing.
Sensing Yu Tang's gaze, he glanced at Yu Tang curiously, and then showed a surprised expression, and didn't take his eyes off for a long time.
Yu Tang saw that there was no one around, and this boy was very cute, and laughed at him: "You know me?" β
As if frightened, the boy quickly shook his head, did not dare to look at her again, and turned to fetch water.
Yu Tang looked funny, and his mood became lighter.
The boy was fetching water and peeping at her quietly, as if she were a big tiger, and he could eat him with his mouth open, which was particularly funny.
Yu Tang said: "What are you going to do here?" β
Although the wooden bucket in the boy's arms is small, but it can also hold four or five catties of water, the boy is still young, and it is fine for a short time, if he walks a long way, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it. What's more, this boy is dressed as a rich family, but he is doing the things of a small house, presumably a scholar raised by a gentleman, and this family is not only very rich, but also quite friendly to the servants around him, otherwise this boy's expression would not be so vivid.
She thought that eight or nine times out of ten, the boy had followed the master of the family to the temple to play.
The boy thought for a while and said shyly: "It's the abbot, I want to make tea." My grandfather asked me to fetch water. β
The servants in the family are dressed like this, and it is normal to be personally received by the abbot of Zhaoming Temple.
Yu Tang said with a smile: "I only heard that drinking this spring water can clear the eyes and lungs, and I don't know that it can also make tea." Is boiled tea any good? β
The boy laughed and said, "It's not delicious!" But the abbot said that drinking tea is Mingzhi, and our lord is most annoyed by others being so vassal, and he doesn't want to worry about him, so he goes with him. Anyway, our lord doesn't drink it. β
Yu Tang was stunned when he heard this, and actually commented on the abbot of Zhaoming Temple...... She thought the old man of the boy's house was very interesting, and giggled.
The boy also laughed when he saw it, as if he was closer to Yu Tang.
He put the small wooden bucket that had been half-filled on the bluestone next to him, and said half-complaining, half-proudly: "It's true! Our master said that the world's first spring and old snow water are all made by scribes who have nothing to do in order to bluff people, no matter what kind of water it is, it will be used for a few days. Our old man also said that his old man had a senior brother who bought a boat, stopped in the middle of the river in the middle of the night, dived into the river and beat a bucket of water to make tea and drink, and what spring, summer, autumn and winter, the world competed to follow suit, and it was all the rage, all of them were a group of crazy people. β
Yu Tang laughed, gave the boy a thumbs up, and said, "Your master is the real celebrity style, Wei and Jin style." β
When the boy heard this, he showed a proud expression, hugged the small wooden bucket and said, "The master and our master are still waiting for my water, I'll go first." β
Yu Tang waved at him and said, "You slow down, be careful not to fall." β
The boy nodded obediently and asked her, "Why are you here alone?" Or, when I send the water back, tell our lord that I will accompany you, and I will leave when your family comes over? β
"No!" Yu Tang pointed to the magpie in the distance, "I'm here to rest!" β
The boy breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said goodbye to her, and walked away with the small barrel.
Yu Tang continued to think about the Li family.
If you don't rely on others, how can you get rid of the Li family?
What are some people or things in the Li family that can be used?
She slowly recalled what happened after marrying into the Li family in her previous life.
The Li family later made a fortune by doing maritime business. Different from the people in Lin'an Mansion, the people in Lin'an Mansion are all looking for a way from Hangzhou, but the Li family is looking for a way from Fujian, which is the thread of the Lin family. The Li family's methods began to be aggressive, and it was also after they became rich, after they had money to be brave and their official position was an umbrella. It's all something that hasn't happened now, and it can't be used as a lever at all.
Of course, there is one more thing that can be exploited, that is, Li Duan's coveting of her.
But it's disgusting.
She would rather die than take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up.
What about Li Jun?
What if you use Li Jun?
For example, Li Jun died unexpectedly in his previous life.
What if she saved Li Jun, begged for retribution, and asked Li Jun to swear not to marry her as a wife and not to be an enemy of the Yu family?
The more Yu Tang thought about it, the more he felt that this thing was feasible.
The biggest problem was to dispel Li Jun's interest in her.
Then you have to clearly reject Li Jun first, or set a family affair as quickly as possible. Then arrange for her fiancΓ© to rescue Li Jun.
Friend's wife, he must not be easy to deceive!
Yu Tang felt that the depression in the past few days had dissipated, and his mood had become better.
However, in the end, you have to be self-reliant.
It's just that she doesn't have any ideas now, so she can only think about it slowly.
Yu Tang made up his mind, went to find the magpie, and made a few flower crowns with her.
When Ma Xiuniang and Zhang Hui came back, she gave a few flower crowns to Ma Xiuniang.
In order to avoid Li Jun and others, they did not fast in Zhaoming Temple, bought a few boxes of vegetarian snacks unique to Zhaoming Temple, borrowed a secluded corner from the roadside restaurant in Mida Village, ate their own dry food, and waited for Ah Tao, who came to pick up people, and then they went home.
