Chapter 304: Escape the Heat
What happened in this mansion, especially the back house, if Pei Lao'an wanted to know, she would be able to know immediately. So Pei Yan sent Qingyuan to clean up the room with Yu Tang, and also opened his own private warehouse for Qing Yuan to choose whatever he wanted.
She laughed and said to Aunt Chen: "Look at this child, if you want to be good to anyone, you will dig out your heart and lungs." At the end of the words, the smile gradually faded and turned into a sigh.
As a mother, she is most afraid that her child's affection will be let down.
Aunt Chen hurriedly comforted her: "No, Miss Yu has entered the mansion, you can just observe from the side." ”
Pei Lao'an nodded, and couldn't help but feel that the depression caused by the arrival of his eldest daughter-in-law had almost dissipated.
The next day, dozens of mule carts from Pei Mansion went up to Tianmu Mountain.
Pedestrians along the way couldn't help but stop and discuss: "Why did the daughter of the Pei family go up the mountain so early this year and don't celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in the city?" It's still a little cold up the mountain at this time, right? ”
"This is something that the butler of the Pei family has to worry about, what does it have to do with you?"
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Grand Master Aman for a few days, do you know what he's going to do?"
"The Pei family has so many businesses, they are the general managers, wherever you go to see, it takes more than half a month to go back and forth, isn't it normal for you to see people?"
Yu Tang took the Pei family's mule cart and arrived at the other courtyard.
The stewards have arrived two or three days in advance, and the accommodation has already been cleaned up, unlike last year, this year Yu Tang lives next door to Pei Lao'an, in the courtyard behind the second wife.
Miss Yang couldn't help but feel a little strange when she knew it, and asked the grandmother beside her: "Is Miss Yu really just a junior of the Pei family?" ”
But the second and fifth ladies of the Pei family are closer to Pei Lao'an.
The grandmother thought about it carefully and said affirmatively: "It's really just a junior of the Pei family." may be because this Miss Yu behaves in a bit of a way and has won the favor of Pei Laoan, so Pei Laoan will treat Miss Yu aside. If the young lady feels uneasy, I'll check it out again. ”
Miss Yang shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary." We just came to their house as guests, and we will leave in two days, and I have to rush back to the capital, and Sister Xu has set a day to leave the cabinet on September 28, and I have to give her a ride. ”
The grandmother didn't say anything anymore, and sent someone to inquire about what arrangements Pei Lao'an's side was, and their young lady could prepare clothes and decorations to have a fun in front of Pei Lao'an.
Yu Tang was like a mirror in her heart, feeling that she could have such treatment mostly because she was about to say goodbye to Pei Yan. She took advantage of the maid's furnishings in the house to walk around the yard.
This courtyard is about the same size as the one she lived in when she came last year, but the scenery is more bright, in addition to the small courtyard with a flower stand and a flower wall, there are two thick banyan trees together, not to mention the lush branches and leaves, the rhizomes are knotted, emerging from the ground, some can swing, some can sit like stools.
Yu Tang circled around the two old banyan trees planted in one place, and found a tree hole that could accommodate people, and couldn't help but feel childlike, thinking about going in to see if it could really hide people. Who knew that she was about to enter the cave, when she heard Pei Yan's familiar voice in her ears: "What are you doing here?" Aren't you afraid that little insects will get into your clothes? ”
She was startled, and when she followed the prestige, she saw Pei Yan wearing a moon-white plain noodle and standing curiously under another banyan tree not far from her.
Yu Tang was overjoyed and said, "Why are you here?" ”
Pei Yan saw that her eyes lit up, her voice was also full of joy, and her mood also soared, and said, "I'll see if you are suitable." As he spoke, he walked over and suddenly held out his hand to her.
Yu Tang's heart was pounding suddenly, and he subconsciously tilted his head, and said in a somewhat vigilant voice: "What are you going to do?" ”
Pei Yan's face sank, he reached out and took two leaves from the top of her head, spread his hand to show her, and said, "What do you think I'm going to do?" ”
Yu Tang smiled and said busily, "When did you come over?" Did you have lunch? We went out late, there were refreshments in the car, I ate several pieces of Poria cake, I don't know who made it, it was soft and glutinous, it was delicious, and it seemed to be a little better than what we made at home. ”
Pei Yan was a little angry at Yu Tang's suspicion of his intentions, but seeing Yu Tang flattering him with such a smile, a little anger in his heart quickly dissipated.
He said, "Although I went out later than you, I came on horseback, and I arrived around the same time as you." I have already ordered that we go down and eat in another hour, and then we will go back to our rooms to rest, and in the evening we will eat in each courtyard and eat whatever we want, and eat as much as we want, so that everyone can be at ease. However, from tomorrow onwards, there will be three meals a day, and it is best not to eat supper, not to mention that it is easy to accumulate food if you eat too much at night, and it is easy to have a lot of problems when you are old. ”
Pei Yan told her a bunch of health knowledge, to put it mildly, it was to eat less and move more, she was about to get sleepy when she heard it, so she had to take advantage of a gap to interrupt Pei Yan and said, "I heard that riding a horse is quite tiring, do you want to go to my house for a cup of tea?" I brought some rock tea this time, and it's definitely not as good as your collection. However, I made dim sum, and it was a slightly sweet and not greasy taste, and I guess you would like it. ”
I'm quite familiar with his preferences.
Pei Yan nodded in his heart with satisfaction, not realizing that Yu Tang had interrupted him, but considering that she and the second wife lived closely, the second brother would definitely talk to the second wife about him and Yu Tang after he went back, if he went to Yu Tang and was seen by his second sister-in-law, he was afraid that his second sister-in-law would have a bad opinion of Yu Tang, so he decided not to visit Yu Tang for the time being.
"I brought Qingyuan here." He said, "Just let her bring the snacks later." Having said this, he told Yu Tang, "My second sister-in-law will come down the mountain with my mother to stay for a few days, and my second brother is going to prepare for the recovery, and some social things have to be prepared by my second sister-in-law herself, you can take care of my little niece more when the time comes." ”
This is also good for Yutang.
Yu Tang understood his intentions, looked at him gratefully, and said "um", and couldn't help but guess the intention of Pei Lao'an to invite her up the mountain this time.
Pei Yan looked at her sparkling eyes, feeling as if he was looking into a pool of autumn water.
It's beautiful!
He sighed in his heart, he was a little shaken, and said in a slow tone: "It's not anything else, the sooner you get acquainted with and understand the people and things in our family, you will be able to relax in the future." Our family is not very big, and small is not very small, mainly those who have many in-laws and are intricate......"
Yu Tang is not the one who doesn't know what to do, and he knows that he is powerful after reading Miss Xu's comments on those families.
"I see." She smiled sweetly at her and said, "I'm sure I won't let you down." After speaking, he winked at Pei Yan naughtily.
It looked like a child's playfulness.
None of this is the main thing.
The main thing is that Yu Tang not only did not annoy him for making his own decisions, but accepted his arrangement very happily.
Pei Yan was very happy.
The little girl he fancied was really different.
Pei Yan couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was frightened.
Her whole body was stiff, her brain didn't turn, it was blank, and it wasn't until Pei Yan let go of her that she felt that her limbs gradually gained strength, and her face was hot, and she recalled the faint smell on his body when Pei Yan was holding her, and the soft feeling of the moon-white muslin on his body...... She didn't even dare to look up at Pei Yan.
Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang's appearance, and then realized that he was rude.
His face was flushed, embarrassed that he felt that he should say something, but he didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a long time, and heard a sound of relaxed footsteps outside, as well as Qingyuan's cautious voice: "Miss Yu, Miss Yu, are you here?" The third master specially sent me over to take a look. ”
Yu Tang looked up.
Pei Yan felt even more embarrassed, he did something that he couldn't understand for a long time after he did something.
Pei Yan whispered, "Then I'll go first", and ran away from the other side.
Yu Tang was dumbfounded.
Qingyuan appeared in front of her eyes.
"Miss Yu!" Qingyuan was obviously relieved, and said happily, "But I found you, Lao An sent someone to pass the word, saying that after an hour of dinner, I saw that the mountain had just sent fresh anchovies over, and asked them to stew a bowl of soup for you, you should pad your stomach first, rest for a while, so as not to wait for the lack of energy." ”
Yu Tang thanked her with a smile, but she couldn't help but think of Pei Yan's somewhat embarrassed figure in her mind, she couldn't hold back and laughed.
Qingyuan didn't know why, and his face was full of confusion.
Yu Tang laughed even harder.
*
After drinking some hot soup and resting for half an hour, Yu Tang felt that he was radiant again.
She freshened up and dressed up and went to Pei Lao'an.
The second wife was already serving over there, and when she saw Yu Tang, she couldn't help but look her up and down.
The lake-green plain gown, inlaid with thin silver-red teeth, is a little lively in the plain and elegant, the skin is so white that it seems to be glowing, but the cheeks are faintly ruddy, like a blooming hibiscus flower, fresh and wanton to make people jealous.
No wonder the third uncle couldn't get out when he plunged in.
As her mother-in-law, Pei Lao'an may not be satisfied that Pei Yan married such a daughter-in-law, but as a concubine, she is very happy. If nothing else, Yu Tang at least won't have to press her like the eldest lady. Otherwise, her father-in-law would not have tried his best to find an opportunity to let her follow him to the post.
She stepped forward with a smile, took Yu Tang's arm affectionately, and said, "Are you hungry?" At this time, it was said that it was late for lunch, and it was said that it was early for dinner, but it was better to accompany Lao Anren to use a little first. There is a small kitchen in your yard, and when you go back in the evening, you can ask the maid to make you some porridge or something for supper. Thinking that Yu Tang's background was not obvious, he was afraid that the people around her would be timid and dare not burn the fire, and said, "Otherwise, don't bother, you can go to me later and use a little with our family Adan." ”
