Chapter 175: Entering the Temple
Pei Lao'an and Yi Lao'an didn't show surprise, and Pei Lao'an even laughed and said: "Your third uncle is now in charge of the family, of course he knows everything at home!" ”
The third miss, the fourth miss, and the fifth miss all widened their eyes and turned their heads to stare at Pei Yan.
This also includes Yu Tang.
Pei Yan saw Yu Tang at first sight.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Yu Tang for some days.
She wore the silk white mink fur cloak he gave her, the fluffy collar lined her white and pure face like first snow, and her eyes, which were already extremely agile because of the black and white distinction, opened wide, as if reflecting his reflection, and became even brighter.
It's really the eighteen changes of the female university.
Miss Yu's eyebrows and eyes slowly grew and became more beautiful.
He took a few steps forward, ready to say hello to Yu Tang, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Gu Xi walking to Pei Lao'an's side, as if he was going to support Lao Anren, his brows frowned almost invisibly, and suddenly decided not to greet Yu Tang first, but bowed to Pei Lao'an: "Mother is running all the way, and her body can still stand it, right?" He saluted Yi Lao'an again: "Auntie! ”
The two Lao An people nodded in unison.
Pei Lao'an smiled: "What can I do?" But you, I heard that you lost your temper again yesterday? Take your time with something, it's useless to lose your temper, it will only make you feel bad and can only ruin your own body. Your father and your brother are gone, you ...... If you have another three long and two short with your second brother, how are you going to let me, an old woman, live? Having said this, Pei Lao'an lost his smile, and the corners of his eyes were shining.
"I know, Mommy." Pei Yan said in a low voice, stepped forward and hugged Pei Laoanren, and said, "Although I have been very stubborn since I was a child, I have never been confused in major matters, Mom, you can believe me." My second brother and I will be fine. ”
"I hope so!" Pei Laoan replied, but his expression showed a little tiredness.
Gu Xi didn't know when he was inserted into the middle of Pei Lao'an and Yi Lao'an, supporting Pei Lao'an, and Pei Yan left and right, like a pair of people.
Yi Lao'an glanced at Gu Xi deeply, but Gu Xi didn't notice that all her energy was on Pei Yan's body.
Mrs. Shen was sent down the mountain, she sent someone to inquire, and Mrs. Shen was sent back to her parents' house by Mr. Shen overnight.
I didn't care about the love of husband and wife at all.
said that he wanted to send Mrs. Shen back to the Wang family's temple for retreat.
What is the difference between this and divorce?
Gu Xi didn't know if the Pei family knew the news, but since Shen Shanyan punished Mrs. Shen like this, eight or nine times out of ten he was giving the Pei family an explanation, and the news should soon reach the Pei family.
At that time, she, who came to the Pei family with Mrs. Shen as a guest, would no longer be able to stay in the Pei family.
She's running out of time.
Whether or not he can leave a deep impression on Pei Yan is up to him.
It's a pity that she knows too little about Pei Yan, and there is no progress in wanting to inquire about Pei Yan, I don't know what kind of character Pei Yan is, and I don't know what he thinks of people, I don't know whether to say hello to Pei Yan generously, or to pretend to be a victim and shed a few tears of grievance in front of Pei Yan.
Gu Xi lowered his eyes and was hesitating, when several young ladies of the Pei family had come forward to greet Pei Yan.
Although she is a niece and separated by generations, she still has to avoid what should be avoided, and she still has to be silent.
Pei Yan bowed slightly, and said with a somewhat cold expression: "The two Lao'an people are old, you come to the temple to play, don't run around, don't let the two Lao'an people worry." ”
Yu Tang bowed his knees with several young ladies of the Pei family.
Pei Yan glanced at Yu Tang, looking at him as if he was smiling peacefully and his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, so he let go of his inexplicable heart that he didn't know when he was hanging high, and sighed secretly.
Everyone exchanged a few words with the host master in the temple, and the two Lao An people were accompanied by the host master to the main hall dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
On the way, Pei Yan quietly let go of Pei Laoanren, walked behind Pei Laoan and Yi Laoanren, and gradually walked with Yu Tang, Third Miss, Fourth Miss, and Fifth Miss, who were walking behind the two Laoans.
The second lady helped Yi Lao'anren, and couldn't help but look back at Pei Yan, with a hesitant look on her face.
Pei Yan remained silent, his steps were even slower, and he stood between the third and fourth misses.
The fourth miss didn't know whether she was afraid of being separated from the third miss, or afraid of being parallel to Pei Yan, she quietly glanced at Pei Yan, and saw that Pei Yan seemed to be looking at the bare pomegranate tree on the side of the aisle, so she took three steps and two steps, suddenly crossed Pei Yan, walked to the side of the third miss, and took the third lady's hand.
The third lady gave her a strange look.
She winked at the third miss.
The third lady glanced at Pei Yan quickly, and seeing that Pei Yan didn't notice them, she pulled the fourth lady and walked a few steps forward, followed behind Pei Lao'an and Yi Lao'an, and distanced herself from Pei Yan.
Pei Yan looked funny, but the corner of his eye couldn't help but look at Yu Tang and Miss Five.
Yu Tang and Fifth Miss didn't look at him, but whispered intently.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he looked at the mountains and forests in the distance for a while, but he didn't notice that Yu Tang raised his eyes and glanced at him quickly.
"Not really!" Yu Tang sighed in his heart, glanced at Pei Yan again, and helplessly explained to the fifth lady, "Your third uncle is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, you are a junior, and you yourself said that you have never seen your third uncle before you were five years old, how can you judge that your third uncle is very strict?" Besides, even if he is a harsh person, if you have done nothing wrong, why should he punish you? You don't have to be hearsay. Your third uncle should be sad when he knows. ”
The fifth lady stuck out her tongue slightly, glanced at Pei Yan boldly, and then said in a low voice: "But if he is ......"
Yu Tang felt that everyone else had deteriorated Pei Yan.
He's obviously such a good person.
Because of his serious look, he was guessed to be a bad person.
She felt very uncomfortable.
categorically interrupted Miss Five's words: "No! Do you believe me or do you trust those who chew the root of your tongue in front of you? ”
The fifth lady immediately nodded like pounded garlic and said, "I naturally believe in Sister Yu." ”
"That's good!" Yu Tang didn't give her a chance to say more, and immediately said, "Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts over time." Then you just do what I say. Take the initiative to talk to your third uncle, take the initiative to say hello to him, and if someone slanders him, you will immediately jump out to defend him. Let's see if he's the kind of person you say! ”
"Uh-huh!" The fifth lady continued to nod her head like pounding garlic.
Yu Tang didn't know that the more he spoke, the louder he became, and of course he didn't see the smile that Pei Yan couldn't stop at the corner of his mouth.
Soon, everyone arrived at the main hall.
The presiding master personally led the two Lao An people to incense.
The two Lao An people each lost fifty taels of silver sesame oil money, and Yu Tang's juniors each lost three taels of silver, including Gu Xi.
There are more than ten acres of vegetable garden behind Ku'an Temple, as well as bamboo forest, you can harvest some winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots every year, although there is no incense from outsiders, but with this one hundred taels of silver sesame oil money, enough to eat and drink in the temple for a year. What's more, the two Lao An people also brought some rice oil.
The two acquaintance masters happily helped the little servants in Pei's Mansion move things with a few laymen, and the host master invited them to the wing room for tea.
Yu Tang tiptoed and looked carefully, but did not see her aunt's cousin.
Did you go to rest or were you busy with something else?
Yu Tang thought, took the tea tray of the little novice, and helped the little novice share the tea.
The presiding master talked to the two Lao An people about the things in the temple: "A few days ago, the Yong Lao An people from the fifth room came over and gave fifty taels of silver sesame oil money. Together with the wives and grandmothers of the other houses, the temple collected about 180 taels of silver in sesame oil. It's just that last year, seven laymen came to live in our temple for a long time, so we led everyone up the mountain to dig winter bamboo shoots, and in addition to sending some to each family, and leaving some in the temple, we also sold more than 30 taels of silver......"
This is telling the two Lao An people what happened in the temple.
Yu Tang didn't listen very carefully.
The presiding master is still the presiding master, her stinginess can't be changed, and the hardships in the temple can't be changed.
But no matter what, Ku'an Temple can give many desperate women a place to hide, a place to settle down, and she should be grateful to this master for his dedication over the years.
Her mind was full of Pei Yan, why did she lose her temper? It also made Lao An feel that he would be angry and harmful to his body.
Is there something going on that she doesn't know about?
Yu Tang went to find Pei Yan's figure.
Maybe it's because the rooms are full of female dependents, Pei Yan was still here just now, and I don't know where he went at this time.
She asked Miss Fifth in a low voice, "Have you seen your third uncle?" ”
"I didn't pay attention either," Miss Fifth listened to the master very attentively, and dealt with Yu Tang absentmindedly, "Do you want to be in the courtyard outside?" Or did you run to some wing room and hide? It's so cold, who would stand stupidly in the yard? You've got people looking for it! ”
Yu Tang couldn't cry or laugh.
Looking at the second lady again, they are all listening with their ears.
Yu Tang didn't understand.
In her opinion, Pei Yan is much more important than this account.
She couldn't help but ask Miss Five, "What are you doing listening to this?" Have you started to learn to be a housekeeper? ”
"Not yet." The fifth lady whispered, "It was my mother who instructed me, saying that the world is clear and knowledge, when I came, I told me to listen carefully to what expenses are in the temple, even if I want to worship the family temple in the future, we can't let people squander our kindness at will, we must know it in our hearts." ”
Yu Tang glanced at the second wife with admiration, thinking that he had to find an opportunity to ask Pei Yan if he had encountered something he didn't like.
Soon, she had a chance.
After lunch, the two Lao An people decided to take a nap and meet the lay people who practiced in this temple in the afternoon to see if there was anything that could help.
The temple arranged a room for each of them to take a lunch break.
Yu Tang asked Shuangtao to find Ah Ming, and asked Ah Ming to help her pass it on.
