When Yu Tang came back, he sat in the Pei family's sedan chair.

I don't know if it's because she is a guest of Hemingtang, the sedan chair walked smoothly and steadily, and there were almost no bumps in the road to Qingzhu Lane.

Entering the door, she saw Wang Si carrying firewood towards the house.

She couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you here?" ”

Wang Si smiled at her innocently, and before she could answer, Shuang Tao, who came out of the kitchen, hurriedly replied: "He was idle, collected a lot of firewood, and thought that our family still needed to buy firewood, so he drove into the city." Miss, come and see, the firewood room at home is full. ”

Yu Tang smiled and took a look, then went back to the room to change his clothes and went to greet Chen.

Chen was discussing with Mrs. Chen about worshipping her ancestors on the first day of October, and when she saw Yu Tang coming in, she stopped the topic and asked Mrs. Chen to make a bowl of osmanthus syrup for Yu Tang and come in.

Mrs. Chen smiled and went away.

Chen took Yu Tang's hand and let her sit beside him, and asked her gently, "Didn't you say that you would go back when you go?" Why did you come back so late? Did Lao An leave food behind? ”

Yu Tang nodded with a smile and talked about meeting Gu Xi and Mrs. Shen.

Chen was quite surprised, and said, "Mrs. Shen is here, your father was called out by Master Wu, and when he comes back, I will ask him to see if I want to go and say hello to Mrs. Shen." She was also very curious about Gu Xi and asked, "Is that girl beautiful?" ”

"It's pretty." Yu Tang is authentic and realistic.

"So you had lunch together?"

Yu Tang shook his head: "No." Mrs. Shen said that she would go back to pack her things, but Lao An did not keep them. ”

Unlike her, she said afterwards that she wanted to go back, but Lao Anren kept it again and again, and left the second wife for lunch, and asked people to take the fifth lady over.

Lao Anren seems to be more of a face-saving person to Mrs. Shen.

Of course, Chen didn't know the difference, and thought that Mrs. Shen insisted on leaving, so he didn't ask much, but just asked Yu Tang with concern: "Are you still at ease in Pei's Mansion?" If you're not comfortable, it's better to find an excuse to go less in the future. ”

Although she intends to repay the Pei family, if her daughter is wronged, she would rather repay the Pei family in other ways.

Yu Tang felt his mother's warmth, couldn't help hugging his mother's arm, and said, "Don't worry, Lao An is a very good person." I didn't feel uncomfortable with her old man. ”

Moreover, after Mrs. Shen and Gu Xi left, Lao Anren carefully asked the Li family about the sale of land.

Guessing from Lao Anren's demeanor, Pei Yan did not suspect something, but Lao An Ren became suspicious.

When she left, Lao Anren called Hu Xing over, probably to ask about the Li family.

From this point of view, if she has anything to do in the future, it is better to find Lao An than to find Pei Yan.

Yu Tang was by his mother's side, drinking osmanthus sugar water while listening to her and Mrs. Chen continue to talk about worshipping ancestors.

Over there, Wang Si unloaded the firewood, came in to greet the Chen family, and prepared to go back to the village.

Chen rewarded him with 20 copper plates, and asked him if he wanted to go back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year.

Wang Si felt that the cost on the road was too great, and he was not ready to go back.

Chen asked him to come to his house for the New Year.

Wang Si was overjoyed, thanked and thanked, and then drove away.

Chen said to Mrs. Chen: "He is an honest man, and he has something in his eyes." The last time the old man went back to the old house, he helped the right account.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yu family began to collect rent.

In the past, they all invited the Yu family's clansmen to help, but everyone has a lot of things at home, and if they say they are helping, they can only help, and they can't do anything. This time Yu Wen returned to his hometown to collect rent, Wang Si was busy before and after, and he didn't let Yu Wen go into battle in person from beginning to end, Yu Wen was only responsible for bookkeeping. When I came back, I sighed with my family: "You said that Wang Si doesn't even know a single big character, and he is actually faster than me when he counts the accounts, and he is not wrong with a single stroke." ”

Yu Tang also heard about it.

She smiled: "Mrs. Chen doesn't know a single big word, but you see her buying vegetables, only she takes advantage of others, does anyone else take advantage of her?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Mrs. Chen was very proud.

When Chen said this, Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen.

When Chen saw it, he coughed lightly twice and sent Yu Tang away: "You go back to the house to rest, and I will take you to your aunt's house later, and by the way, I will talk about worshipping your ancestors." ”

Since Xiang's pregnancy, Wang has been serving Xiang's food and drink all day long, and he doesn't even go to the shop, and he comes to their house less often.

Yu Tang knew that Mrs. Chen was going to talk to her mother again.

The last time she eavesdropped, she was still young, her mother was sick in bed all the year round, and Mrs. Chen was afraid that Yuwen would have ideas, so she persuaded her mother to buy a maid for her father to come back and make a room.

This time she pretended to go out, but hid under her mother's window lattice to eavesdrop.

Mrs. Chen persuaded her mother to marry Shuangtao to Wang Si this time, and said: "Anyway, our family is going to recruit a son-in-law, and Shuangtao has also reached the age of going out of the cabinet. I think it's better to leave Wang Si behind. ”

Chan was thoughtful.

Yu Tang ran back with a smoke, and found an opportunity to ask Shuangtao: "What do you think of Wang Si?" ”

Shuangtao may have misunderstood that Yu Tang was inquiring about Wang Si's personality, considering whether to keep Wang Si behind, and helped Wang Si say a lot of good things. However, even if this is the case, it can be seen that Shuangtao has a very good impression of Wang Si, but I don't know if Wang Si can stay with peace of mind?

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, and then went to his uncle's house with Chen.

Xiang's family had already shown his arms, and he was drinking chicken soup there with a bitter face, and when he saw Yu Tang coming in, he suddenly seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ordered Xia Lian: "Quick, go and bring a big bowl of chicken soup to Miss." ”

Xia Lian's face was full of confusion.

Yu Tang hurriedly said: "I don't drink chicken soup." Just make me a cup of tea. ”

Xiangshi encouraged her: "It's cold, it's just right to drink a bowl of chicken soup." ”

Yu Tang said: "I don't drink it!" If my sister-in-law can't drink it, let my brother help. I don't want to be scolded by my aunt. ”

"No, no." Xiang Shi was stunned.

Yu Tang laughed and whispered to Xiang about Xia Lian and Xia Pinggui.

Xiang's was very surprised, Xia Lian stared at her from time to time when she refilled tea and served snacks, until Xia Lian felt that she had something dirty on her face, and Xiang let Xia Lian go. Then he whispered to Yu Tang: "I look pretty good." It just so happened that your brother wanted to expand the shop, and Xia Pinggui was in charge of the shop, and your brother and your uncle were the most at ease. ”

Yu Tang also felt that they were suitable, and thought in his heart, if it could be done, would their family have two happy events next year!

When she and her mother returned home, they met Yuwen at the door.

It was so cold that he stamped his feet.

Chen said distressedly: "Where have you been?" Didn't hire a sedan chair to come back? ”

Yu Wenzhi sighed and said, "Don't you want to worship your ancestors?" Master Wu dragged me to order a pig. As a result, I met Mr. Shen halfway through. He drank in a roadside tavern. I saw that something was wrong with him, but Master Wu had to go up and say hello to Mr. Shen. As a result, he left both of us to drink in the small wine shop. You also know how much I drink, where do you dare to drink more? Master Wu is not drunk for a thousand cups, and the two of them drank equally, and I poured wine for the two of them next to me. When the two of them were almost drunk, Master Wu was carried home by his entourage, but I still had to send Mr. Shen back to the county school. However, I met Ogawa at the county school, and I heard from the gentleman in the county school that Ogawa studied very hard, and it would be no problem to take the test to be a showman. If this is really the case, the Wei family can be regarded as able to turn over. ”

The Wei family has so many sons and so much land, and life is still tight, and the most important reason is that they pay too many taxes. If Wei Xiaochuan can be admitted to Xiucai, he can be exempted from part of the Wei family's taxes, which is not a small amount of money for the Wei family.

Chen nodded and said, "Is Mr. Shen drinking alone in a small wine shop?" As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Tang, as if asking Yu Tang, "Isn't Mrs. Shen here?"

Yu Tang also pricked up his ears to listen.

Yu Wen obviously didn't know about this, and said, "It's said that it's a bad mood." I didn't have any classes today, so I asked other gentlemen to teach on my behalf. Speaking of which, Mr. Shen is also quite pitiful. When I sent him back, the house was deserted, and a little boy who didn't know what to do was napping there, and he didn't know where to start when he asked him to help make a bowl of decanting tea. It's a pity that Mr. Shen is so good at learning! ”

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the amount of knowledge, does it?

Yu Tang pondered in his heart.

Chen obviously thought about it too, she frowned and said, "I heard Ah Tang say that Mrs. Shen is here, so Mrs. Shen didn't leave anyone to serve Mr. Shen?" ”

Yu Wen was surprised and said, "Mrs. Shen is here?" When was this? Why didn't Mr. Shen mention a word? ”

Chen hesitated: "I wanted to discuss with you whether I wanted to meet Mrs. Shen before, but when I heard you say this, I don't know what to do?" ”

Yu Wen groaned: "I'll go and inquire first." ”

Chan promised.

Two days later, Yu Wen came to discuss Mrs. Shen's affairs with Chen, and Yu Tang listened beside him.

"It stands to reason that Mrs. Shen rarely comes here, and we have received the favor of Mr. Shen, even if we can't invite Mrs. Shen to come to our house, we should visit Mrs. Shen." He was embarrassed and said, "But I heard Shen Fang say that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen have been at odds since they became married, so they only have one son. Mrs. Shen came to Lin'an, and she also lived in Pei's Mansion Lao'an, and Mr. Shen didn't reveal a word to the people around him at all. ”

Whether or not to meet Mrs. Shen became very difficult.

In his previous life, Yu Tang had never heard of Mr. Shen, and it was not easy to make up his mind. But she thought about it for a while, and then gave her parents an idea: "Otherwise, we should not know." At that time, Lao An didn't introduce me to whose girl I was, and Mr. Shen didn't tell you half a sentence, so it's better not to make a fuss. ”

Yu Wen thought about it, felt that Yu Tang's method was feasible, and said: "Anyway, our family has nothing to do with the Shen family, and I don't know that Mrs. Shen is here." ”

Even if this matter was over in Yu Wen's place, it aroused Chen's great interest, and she quietly ran to Master Wu's house and asked Mrs. Wu if she knew that Mrs. Shen had come to Lin'an.
