Chapter 190: Guard
In the previous life, Ku'an Temple was very poor, and everyone was struggling on the edge of food and clothing, so naturally there was no major contradiction. But in the years of the Li family, Yu Tang has seen too many good intentions turn bad.
All people suffer from inequality.
After dinner, she went to visit the second wife.
The second wife happened to have a guest, and Aunt Jin welcomed her to the next room with a smile and said to her: "It's the Yang family who is here, and the second wife of our family is not easy to see." Miss Yu, you wait here for a while, and as soon as the people leave, I will go to the second wife. ”
Yu Tang couldn't help but be a little strange.
It's time to hold the lamp, what is the urgency of the Yang family to send someone to Ku'an Temple to see the second wife?
She was afraid that she would confuse the eldest lady's maiden family with the second lady's in-laws, and make a joke like in front of Pei Yan, so she asked in a low voice, "Which Yang family is it?" ”
Aunt Jin is the second wife's companion, and not long after the second wife arrived at the Pei family, she followed the second wife's family to take office, and did not return to Lin'an until the old lady died, and it is estimated that Yu Tang does not know much about the Pei family. When she heard Yu Tang's tone, she thought that Yu Tang knew a lot about the Pei family, so she lost her vigilance against outsiders, and whispered without any defense: "It's the eldest lady's mother's family." It seems that the Yang family was afraid that the eldest prince would delay Dabi, so they introduced a Xixi to the eldest prince. Unexpectedly, the third master disagreed, and the people from the Yang family broke up with the third master, but there was no way. I wanted to find the second master of our family, but the second master of our family went to Wutai Mountain and found the second wife here. Speaking of this, she pursed her lips disdainfully, "Eight or nine out of ten want our second wife to help the eldest son talk." But they don't want to think about it, what kind of family is Pei Mansion, does the eldest son of Pei Mansion want to study, and they have to invite people from their Yang family to Xixi? The second and third masters of our family are both two Jinshi, which Xixi can compare with the second and third masters of our family? Besides, even if the second and third masters of our family are busy and don't have that time, isn't there still Mrs. Yi? No matter how bad it is, the old lady Yong is also from a good background! The Yang family's idle affairs are also too lenient! If you want me to say, it's all used to when the old man was alive! ”
As for who is used to it, it is self-evident.
It stands to reason that Yu Tang shouldn't listen to this, but she is really a little curious about the grievances between the eldest lady and Pei Yan, she even turned her brain quickly at this time, whimsically wondering that the eldest lady ordered Gu Xi to be her daughter-in-law, wouldn't she want to fight with Pei Yan?
She could see that Gu Xi was beating Pei Yan's idea, couldn't others see it?
She didn't understand, Gu Xi was not easy to marry, so she had to come to Pei's house to wade through this troubled water, and she had to marry in Lin'an City.
Yu Tang said softly: "Thank you Aunt Jin, I'm waiting here, the second wife is free, you can just let people call me." ”
Aunt Jin likes a straightforward person like Yu Tang, she immediately smiled with a spring breeze on her face, made a cup of tea for Yu Tang with her own hands, took candied fruits and made refreshments for her, and then went to the second wife to serve.
Yu Tang thought that with the shrewdness of the second wife, the Yang family was afraid that they would return in vain.
As she drank her tea, she couldn't help but stretch her neck and look towards the hall of the second wife's main room.
Coincidentally, as soon as she looked over, the curtain of the second wife's main hall was opened, Yu Tang saw a forty-year-old mother-in-law walking out with an angry face, Aunt Jin followed behind her disapprovingly, and her voice sounded enthusiastic but perfunctory and said loudly: "This big night, you can step carefully." It's so late, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the city, you better stay here for one night before leaving! ”
The gold ornament on the woman's head flickered in the light of the lantern, and it was evident that she was a servant woman with a face in the house of a rich man.
Yu Tang ran to the window lattice, only to hear the mother-in-law sneer, and said: "Don't dare to work hard for you, we took the name of our eldest man and have already booked a room at the post station." However, I still have something to ask you to convey to your second wife, our aunt's grandmother's today may be someone else's tomorrow. With that, he held his head high and strode out.
She saw Aunt Jin rolling her eyes at the back of the mother-in-law, and still said enthusiastically: "Slow down, let me give you a ride." Then he chased after him slowly.
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that this Jin Lady usually lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes, and she was a person who couldn't be found at first glance in the pile of maids, but she was unexpectedly a rather interesting person.
She hurried back to sit down again.
After a while, Aunt Jin came over to lead her to see the second wife, and whispered to her on the way: "The second wife is in a bad mood, if there is anything slacking, don't take it to heart." ”
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "It's a coincidence that I came." But I'm a little anxious about this, and I'm not afraid of something happening, so I have to bother with it. ”
Aunt Jin smiled: "Miss Yu is an understanding person, saying that there is an emergency, and the matter must be very urgent." ”
In just two sentences, they arrived at the main hall of the second wife.
A little maid came out and lifted the curtain.
Yu Tang walked in and saw the second wife sitting alone on the Taishi chair in front of the square table.
The dim light shone on her face, making her look very serious.
Yu Tang stepped forward and saluted.
The second lady looked slightly gloomy and invited her to sit down and talk.
Yu Tang expressed his worries: "I didn't pay attention when I went to the house to try to make incense that day, but when the host master said this today, I realized that if this incense recipe is given to someone who has a heart, it can be a sandalwood-scented Buddha incense alone." This is a good thing, maybe we can also sell the sandalwood-scented Buddha incense. But I have also heard of one thing, when a neighbor saw that his neighbor was poor, he kindly asked him to go to the shop to help sell food, but the neighbor got the master's recipe for food, so he simply opened the same shop himself, and used various methods to close the shop that used to sell food. I'm thinking, is this incense recipe not for the time being all given to the Ku'an Temple, the incense recipe is entrusted to the big shopkeeper of the shop at home, they only need to help make all kinds of Buddha incense, we don't make their money, send them more wages, do you think it's okay? ”
Of course, the second wife had also heard the story of Mr. Dongguo, but it was just Buddha incense or something, and for her, it was just money to buy a needle and thread, so she didn't pay attention to it at all. Although she felt that Yu Tang's words were reasonable, she didn't think it was a particularly serious matter. But she still likes Yu Tang very much, and thinks that she is serious, careful, and dares to take responsibility, which is commendable, so she smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful." Tomorrow we will go together to discuss, and then the Yi Lao An people will decide how to do it. ”
When Yu Tang heard this, he had no choice but to get up and say goodbye: "Then I will come over tomorrow and go with you to see Yi Lao'an." ”
The second wife asked Aunt Jin to send her out.
This is the courtesy of the second wife to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang smiled and thanked him, and was accompanied out of the hall by Aunt Jin.
Aunt Jin already knew the outcome of the conversation, and she comforted Yu Tang: "Don't worry, Yi Lao'an people must understand your worries." ”
Yu Tang was not at ease at all.
Since Yi Lao'an married his eldest daughter-in-law, he no longer presided over the middle feed of the third room, and he wholeheartedly took care of the old lady Yi who was not in good health, but I was afraid that it was simpler than the second wife thought.
I don't know what Pei Laoan would think if he was here?
Yu Tang sighed secretly, who knew that when he got up the next morning, he met Pei Yan on the way to greet Yi Lao'an and the second wife with several young ladies from Pei's mansion.
He wore as usual a very ordinary plain muslin robe, trimmed with navy blue, and stood there with a straight posture, like a pine in the wind, with an outstanding demeanor.
Yu Tang's footsteps couldn't help but pause, and his face burned hotly.
She looked left and right, and saw a large tree that was hugging thick, and suddenly hid behind the tree.
Several young ladies of the Pei family hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully saluted Pei Yan.
Pei Yan's expression was still very cold, but his voice was very gentle: "This early in the morning, are you going to greet the elders?" After speaking, he glanced at a few Miss Pei.
The second lady is the elder, and she promises on behalf of several Miss Pei.
Pei Yan said softly: "Then you guys should go quickly!" ”
Several young ladies of the Pei family saluted him again, and walked past him.
Shuangtao realized that his young lady was missing.
But on this occasion, she didn't want to shout everywhere, thinking that she would look for it when Pei Yan left her, maybe Yu Tang just went to the official room or was fascinated by some flower and plant, and stayed for a while.
But Pei Yan stood there and didn't leave.
Yu Tang was anxious.
I will greet Yi Lao'an and the second wife, but she is gone, what is going on!
If she had known this, she should have been cheeky and broke through with a few Miss Pei.
Yu Tang bit his lip and looked around, trying to find another way to the courtyard of Yi Lao'an and the second wife.
Pei Yan walked slowly to the tree where she was hiding, and muttered: "I heard that it was Miss Gu's own intention to agree to this family business, and I don't know if Gu Chang will agree?" If Gu Chang doesn't agree, and the Pei and Gu families only make a verbal agreement, my mother and I will strongly oppose it...... I also forgot to ask Pei Tong what he meant, if Pei Tong didn't want to ......."
So is this family business just done?
Yu Tang continued Yu Yan's words in his heart, and the villain in his heart covered his mouth and laughed.
It's okay to give up, lest Gu Xi marry into the Pei family and spoil the Pei family's good soup.
However, why did Gu Xi agree to this family business? She and Pei Tong shouldn't have seen each other, right?
But it's hard to say.
Maybe when she didn't know, Gu Xi had already met Pei Tong?
Yu Tang was a little curious about what Pei Tong looked like.
Could it be that he is as handsome as Pei Yan, so Gu Xi changed his mind because of this?
Or, Pei Tong fell in love with Gu Xi at first sight?
What about Pei Tong's cousin?
Yu Tang's mind was messy, and his eyes looked a little blank.
As a result, Pei Yan's surprised voice came to her ears: "Miss Yu, what are you doing standing behind this tree?" It's good that I found you, otherwise when the craftsman who can build the road comes, wouldn't it scare Miss Yu. ”
It's over, it's over, and it was discovered by Pei Yan.
Why was she so unlucky?
Yu Tang ran away.
Pei Yan's anxious voice came from her ears again: "Wrong, wrong." Miss Yu, there is a vegetable garden in the temple over there, and the thatched toilet is also over there, they have to water the ground every day, so be careful not to step on your feet. ”
It's good that Yu Tang hasn't stayed in Ku'an Temple, she has been in Ku'an Temple, so she naturally knows what Pei Yan means when she says this.
She froze there all at once.
"Miss Yu!" Pei Yan's smiling voice sounded in her ears again.
Yu Tang closed his eyes, feeling that he was really unlucky!
