Chapter 212: Undercurrent
The female dependents of the Wu family did not stay with Pei Lao'an for a long time, but the Chen family was taken by Mrs. Yang San and recognized all the female dependents of the Pei family. When she came back from lunch at Pei Lao'an, Miss Xu followed Yu Tang to the room where Chen and Yu Tang rested, and Yu Tang gave her half a bottle of perfume, Miss Xu was very happy and said, "This fragrance smells good." He also said, "Sister Yu, don't worry, I'll give you a bottle in a few days." ”
Although Yu Tang liked this fragrance very much, she found out that it was also sold in Hangzhou City, and it was not something that she couldn't ask for, so she smiled and said, "No need, you can use it if you like it." ”
Miss Xu was not too polite, and said, "Then I will thank you in advance." After speaking, she got up and said goodbye: "Sister take a nap first, and I'll come back to you later." Then he pointed to the next door to the wing where they lived, "Mrs. Yang and I live next to it." ”
Yu Tang answered, and sent Miss Xu out with a smile, but turned around and was called to the east by Chen.
Chen was sitting in front of the big bookcase by the window writing, and when he saw Yu Tang coming in, he hurriedly beckoned to her: "Come and help me take a look." ”
Yu Tang smiled and walked forward quickly, and found that her mother was writing about the title and physiognomy of the Pei family daughter she saw today.
"What are you?" She was a little puzzled.
Chen said with a smile: "After all, we are Lin'an people, we couldn't get in touch with the Pei family before, and now we often walk around Pei's Mansion, how can several wives and grandmothers in Pei's Mansion not know each other?" You also know that our family, the population is simple, I have followed your father for so many years, your father has protected me for everything, I have also experienced few things, I am afraid that I will forget, when I meet again, offend people, thinking that a good memory is not as good as a bad pen, while I still have an impression, I will write down the people I met today, which will also be beneficial to you in the future - do not remember other people's names, and it is also a kind of respect for others. ”
Yu Tang felt that his mother was right.
She took a chair and sat down beside her mother, and with her mother, while reminiscing about the people she saw today, while recording what they looked like, and whispering two sentences from time to time, saying two sentences of Pei's gossip.
Just like playing games with his mother when he was a child, Yu Tang not only did not feel tired, but also full of interest and found it very interesting. If Miss Xu hadn't come to play with her, she wouldn't have noticed that an hour had passed.
They forgot to take a nap.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, but they were very happy in their hearts.
Yu Tang hugged his mother's arm, thinking about whether Miss Xu was just as happy as she and her mother when she was learning genealogy, so Miss Xu would be clear about the relationship between those families!
She suddenly became a little affectionate to Miss Xu.
When Miss Xu triumphantly took out a bottle of perfume that was exactly the same as hers, she praised her with a smile as if coaxing her little sister: "You are so amazing! How did you do it to find a bottle of fragrance that is exactly like mine so quickly. ”
Miss Xu was very happy to hear her say this, her voice unconsciously rose a few points, and she raised her eyebrows at Yu Tang, and said, "Do you know what the martial arts family does?" It's a lot of luck. Their family spends a lot of energy every year to deal with the powerful people in Beijing. What can the magnates in Beijing lack? At most, it's a little rarer for things from the sea. I sent someone to ask for it, and they took out seven or eight kinds of perfume for me to choose from. As she spoke, she winked at Yu Tang as if offering a treasure, "If the martial arts family doesn't have it, I can still ask the Song family." Their Song family is the most pompous, this kind of rare thing, their daughters must show it off. In the end, she also said sincerely: "Later, my sister will go to my place to play, and I will also pick up a few bottles of other scented perfume and bring them over." ”
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "You are so smart!" ”
"Of course." Miss Xu took it with peace of mind.
Yu Tang thanked her and accepted the fragrance she brought.
Miss Xu likes her even more.
I feel that she is not twisted, although she is from an average background, she is generous, and she is truly neither humble nor arrogant.
She couldn't help but continue to chat with Yu Tang: "The people of the martial arts family are also notoriously beautiful. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the girl in their family to marry into the Jiang family, and she became the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. My aunt said that it was because the martial arts family used to be water bandits, and the daughters-in-law they married were all beauties from various places, so their families would be white and beautiful. However, the Jiang family also gave the martial family a bad head. I can inquire clearly, this time the martial arts family only came two young masters, but the young lady came a lot, from eighteen to fourteen years old, and each one is more beautiful than the other. Including the tenth lady of the martial arts family who is said to be no worse than the eldest lady of their family who married into the Jiang family. I think that the martial arts family must want to marry their girl to Master Pei San. ”
Yu Tang was startled, and hurriedly said, "You be quiet!" Beware of having ears on the wall, ruining the reputation of others. ”
But she didn't question her guesses.
Miss Xu was slightly stunned, then laughed, and her eyes were shining to rub Yu Tang's head: "You are really interesting!" ”
Yu Tang tilted his head, dodged her hand, and said angrily: "I don't want to comb my hair again, don't touch my hair." ”
Miss Xu laughed again and promised, "Don't worry, I have brought a mother-in-law who can comb her hair, a maid who can comb her hair, and I can send someone to help you when the time comes." ”
Yu Tang secretly slurred.
Like their family, it would be good to have a servant woman who can comb her hair, even Gu Xi in her previous life married to the Li family, but she was just married to a mother-in-law who could comb her hair, and this mother-in-law also took care of helping Gu Xi pack up her clothes and run errands for Gu Xi's nurse. The ladies of the Pei family are all just one person, and they have a maid who can comb their hair.
It can be seen that the Xu family is really rich.
Miss Xu asked Yu Tang again: "Can't you really go to visit Master Pei San?" I wonder what he looks like. You say, if something happens to our side, will he come and see it himself? After all, there are so many female dependents living here......"
Yu Tang was flustered when he heard this, and stopped her: "What are you going to do?" If something happens to the lady who lives here because of you, do you think you will be able to sleep peacefully in the future? Besides, if you want to be fast, why do you have to force it? Aren't we going to stay in the monastery for four more days? How do you know that you won't have the opportunity to meet the third master of the Pei family in the future? ”
"You have a point." Miss Xu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm really in a hurry. ”
Yu Tang's heart moved when he saw it, and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to see the third master of the Pei family?" ”
Miss Xu's face flushed, and she was silent for a moment before whispering to her: "Our family also wants to marry my cousin to Pei Yaoguang." However, my cousin is only sixteen this year, and she is a little young, Pei Yao should be married in addition to clothes, and it is estimated that the Pei family will not agree. But listen to my uncle, whether he agrees or not, he has to give it a try. ”
Yu Tang opened his mouth wide, causing Miss Xu to laugh again.
She also knocked on Yu Tang's head and said, "Otherwise, what do you think Mrs. Yang San is doing here?" You don't really think that everyone is here to attend the lectures, do you? Even Pei Laoan may not have such thoughts. ”
Yu Tang didn't speak, feeling stuffy in his chest, and his face was a little not good-looking.
Miss Xu was still immersed in her own thoughts, and she didn't notice Yu Tang's strange appearance, and continued to chatter there: "I don't know who else will come." Now these families, I took a look, maybe the Peng family doesn't mean this. Ah......" She suddenly exclaimed in a low voice as if she had discovered something remarkable.
Yu Tang was so startled by her that his heart was nervous, and he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”
Miss Xu took Yu Tang's hand and whispered to her: "You say, will the Peng family have a discord with the Pei family?" The Peng family is in Fujian, thousands of miles away, what kind of excitement did their family come over? ”
Yu Tang's heart was pounding.
Miss Xu is too smart.
When it comes to the navigation map, the Pei family must be wary of the Peng family, but if the Peng family is also wary of the Pei family, does that mean that the Peng family found out that the Pei family was already wary of them? If this is the case, one day the Peng family and the Pei family will turn against each other, and it may not be so easy for the Pei family to deal with the Peng family.
Does Pei Yan know the attitude of the Peng family?
Yu Tang took a few deep breaths, his mood slowly calmed down, and his brain began to spin rapidly.
No matter how smart Miss Xu is, she must be as smart as Pei Yan, since Miss Xu can see through it, Pei Yan will definitely be able to see through it.
She should have believed Pei Yan.
Yu Tang took a few deep breaths.
"Am I scared you?" At this time, Miss Xu, who found that Yu Tang's face was a little pale, said in hindsight, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
"No, no." Yu Tang was a little panicked, wanting to whitewash the peace, but she didn't know why she was panicking and why she wanted to whitewash the peace, "I never thought about this kind of thing, I was too surprised." ”
Miss Xu believed her.
She has seen too many girls like Yu Tang, who usually only care about clothes and flowers, and are not interested in outside things.
"I'm sorry." She said apologetically, "I just like to think nonsense, don't take it to heart, I'm also guessing." Maybe it's because Fujian is too far away from here, so the Peng family only has a few female dependents. My mother has already told me several times about this, and I'm just too idle. ”
"No, you're fine like that." Yu Tang saw her frustrated and comforted her, "I sometimes like to guess like this. However, you know more than I know, and we just guess things differently. Like me, sometimes when I see the servant woman next door carrying a basket of pickles when she goes out, only to come back with an empty basket, I wonder if she has quietly exchanged the pickles for silver. ”
Miss Xu laughed, her eyebrows and eyes fluttered, and said, "Then did you guess right?" ”
"I don't know!" Yu Tang smiled, "I've never had a chance to confirm it. ”
"But I'll guess right most of the time." Miss Xu said, "Yin Mingyuan has been sick since he was a child, he can't blow the wind or see the rain, but he wants to study in our house, and he wants me to play with him, if I don't take him, he will cry, and the maid next to him will go to my grandmother to complain." "I had to accompany him to read." Later, when I grew up, I knew how to deal with him - I didn't talk to him. ”
