Yu Tang wanted to find an opportunity to meet Pei Yan and ask him what he meant. However, before she could think of an excuse, the third and fifth daughters of the Pei family sent someone to inform her that they would come to visit her tomorrow.

Chen was overjoyed and went to the street to buy food herself. Yu Tang couldn't stop her.

When the Third and Fifth Misses came over, the table was already filled with cakes and snacks made by Mrs. Chen. Duck soup was stewing on the stove, pork elbows were steaming in the steamer, and meatballs were frying in the pan... The aroma was everywhere, making the place even more lively and abundant than during the Chinese New Year.

Yu Tang smiled helplessly and shook his head. After the Third Miss and the Fifth Miss had met Chen, he took them to his room for tea.

The tea leaves were the rock tea that Chen had just bought at the market yesterday. It was delicious when paired with the Poria cocos cake that Chen had made.

The Third Miss and the Fifth Miss both praised her loudly and asked about the food Yu Tang had given them when they went to Ku'an Temple that day: "At that time, they also said that it was made by my aunt. My aunt's hands are really skillful!"

Yu Tang pushed the nine-plum box in front of them and said with a smile, "Then when you go back, I'll ask Shuang Tao to pack some for you."

The two of them didn't hesitate and thanked him with a smile.

Yu Tang chatted with them for a while, and then he found out that Gu Xi and Pei Tong's marriage had been full of twists and turns, and something had happened in the past few days.

"I don't know what my aunt is thinking?" Miss Five whispered, "She insisted on sending my cousin to study at the Gu family. For this matter, she not only found my mother, but also found the Yi Laoan and Yong Laoan. Fortunately, the two Laoan people did not agree to be the middleman and help her to ask for help from my third uncle, otherwise it would be a joke."

The third young lady seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "But the Yang family also said that. It seems that my eldest cousin can't study well in our family. From what I see, my eldest aunt doesn't seem to be in a hurry to find a husband for my eldest cousin, but seems to be in a hurry to find a teacher for my eldest cousin."

Yu Tang's heart was moved when he heard this.

In his previous life, Pei Tong seemed to have studied at Yang's house.

Is it impossible to go there in this life?

Or were there many such twists and turns in her previous life, but she was not involved and didn't know about them?

Could this be the reason why the eldest wife chose Gu Xi as her daughter-in-law?

Yu Tang was thinking, and the fifth lady had changed the subject, saying, "Anyway, I don't know what my aunt is going to do. My nanny also told me to stay away from my aunt's affairs. When my grandfather is done mourning, my father will go to work. When my third uncle marries his aunt, my nanny will take me and my brother to follow my father to work." At this point, she was a little reluctant, and said, "But I don't want to follow my father to work, but I don't want to be separated from my nanny and my brother."

The Third Miss seemed to be hearing this for the first time. She was surprised and asked, "Then you, aren't you going to leave Lin'an soon?"

"I don't know either." Miss Five hesitated, then said "Oh!" to Miss Three, "Let's not forget the important matter!" After that, she winked at Miss Three.

The third young lady immediately sat up straight and coughed twice before she said in a serious tone, "Sister Yu, we came to see you because of the matter of Ku'an Temple."

Yu Tang was very surprised and joked with them: "I thought you were on holiday and missed me, so you came to play with me!"

The fifth young lady smiled sheepishly and said, "We wanted to come and play with you, but we are a bit busy with homework and there is no long vacation these days. We originally had to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival to come and visit you, sister."

The Third Miss also nodded and said, "It's true, Sister Yu. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Second and Fourth Sisters when you meet them."

"I know. I was just joking with you." Yu Tang laughed and said, "You came to me about Ku'an Temple. Did something happen there?"

The fifth lady and the third lady exchanged glances, and the fifth lady said, "After returning from Ku'an Temple, we reported the matter of Ku'an Temple to grandmother. As a result, grandmother said that we sisters should make our own decisions on this matter, and that my mother and great-aunt and others will no longer interfere in the affairs of Ku'an Temple. Whether the incense recipe should be given to all the people in Ku'an Temple or only to a part of them, and whether to offer incense on Buddha's Bathing Festival is all up to us to decide." As she spoke, a look of worry appeared on her face, "Sister Yu, we have never dealt with such a thing before, and we are unsure. We would like to ask Sister Yu to join us..." After that, she widened her eyes and looked at Yu Tang pleadingly.

Yu Tang's heart softened when she saw her look at him. She wanted to agree to them immediately, but as they said, this matter was of great importance and she had never handled it before. What if she didn't handle it well and it implicated Ku'an Temple?

She couldn't help but ask cautiously: "So what do you mean?"

Seeing that Yu Tang did not agree immediately to what the Fifth Miss said, the Third Miss hurriedly said, "Sister Yu, my Fifth Sister and I both think that what you said makes sense. The formula of the Buddhist incense may not mean much to us, but to some people it is a secret recipe for making a fortune. A man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Although the Ku'an Temple was originally poor, it was peaceful and prosperous. If any trouble is caused to the Ku'an Temple because of us, then it will be our fault! My Fifth Sister and I both think that we cannot make a decision so casually."

Yu Tang smiled, feeling lucky to have known several young ladies from the Pei family. She asked, "What are the plans of the Third and Fifth Young Ladies?"

The third and fifth young ladies both laughed when they heard this.

The Fifth Miss said, "We think that the incense meeting of Zhaoming Temple is a good opportunity. No matter what, we must seize this opportunity to make the Buddhist incense of Ku'an Temple famous in the incense meeting. No matter what, we must find a way to make the stick incense or coil incense that Third Uncle mentioned. As for the incense recipe, we should follow Sister Yu's wishes and give part of it to Ku'an Temple and keep part of it in our hands. But now, whether it is the former or the latter, we don't know what to do."

The Third Miss said, "The people we sent to Ku'an Temple these days came back and told us that the masters at Ku'an Temple can't make the kind of incense sticks and coils that Third Uncle said. We have to invite an incense master to teach them. We have also discussed the incense recipe with Second Sister and Fourth Sister for a long time, but we don't know who to hand it over to."

The Fifth Miss said, "Sister Yu, how about you take charge of this incense recipe?"

The third young lady continued, "We all know that this matter is very troublesome, but apart from Sister Yu, we can't think of anyone else to ask for help - the second sister will be married next year at the latest, and I, I also want to discuss marriage. The fourth and fifth sisters are still young..."

As they talked, they stood up and saluted Yu Tang: "Sister Yu, please help us."

Yu Tang hurriedly pulled the two of them up and said, "Let's talk it over. You guys are forcing me to agree to this, aren't you?"

"No, no." Miss Three and Miss Five looked terrified, sweat on their foreheads. "We, we have been thinking about it for a long time and can't think of a better way..."

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Okay, okay. You don't have to be so polite to me. Since I promised you, I will definitely find a way. Besides, it was me who proposed the Ku'an Temple incident, so how can I just sit there and watch?"

The third and fifth young ladies stood there with their hands lowered, looking embarrassed.

Yu Tang looked at them and laughed, saying, "Don't be like that, just sit down and talk."

The two of them then sat on the armchair.

Yu Tang smiled and shook his head secretly, but he didn't bother to be polite with them anymore. Instead, he directly talked about the matter of Ku'an Temple: "What you are talking about is just two things. One is that I don't know who should have the incense formula? The other is that Ku'an Temple can't make the incense sticks and coils that the Third Elder requested for the time being, right?"

They nodded continuously.

Yu Tang's mind was already spinning rapidly. She said, "First of all, I would like to recommend a person to you - Little Tong, the shopkeeper of Pei's Lin'an Pawnshop. His family has been servants of the Pei family for generations and they are loyal. The pawnshop also has Old Tong, the shopkeeper, to make decisions. Let him take care of the affairs of Ku'an Temple for the time being. I think he should be free."

The two thought about it and smiled with joy.

The Fifth Miss even took a long breath and said, "I said that we should ask Sister Yu for the decision on this matter."

The third young lady was giggling, and it was obvious that she was completely relaxed.

Yu Tang continued, "As for the matter of burning incense at Zhaoming Temple on Buddha's Bathing Festival, ask Xiao Tong to find a master to make incense. For the time being, let him make the incense according to the Third Elder's wishes. But it's not easy to hire such a person. In most cases, we have to borrow the reputation of Pei Mansion and find a way to keep him in Pei Mansion. We have to tell Third Elder about this matter in advance."

The two of them looked more cheerful.

The Fifth Miss said quickly, "Third Uncle is helping Ku'an Temple build a road, and he lives in the other courtyard. We will go find Third Uncle now, and he will definitely agree."

This is like someone giving you a pillow just when you feel sleepy.

Yu Tang smiled and said, "That's great. We'll go to the other courtyard tomorrow and ask the Third Elder."

The Fifth Miss was bewildered and asked, "Should we go there in person? Should we let the stewards say no?"

Of course.

But Pei Yan always acted mysterious in front of her, so she had to act mysterious in front of him too.

"The matter of Xiao Tong being the shopkeeper also needs the consent of the Third Elder." Yu Tang said, "The villa is outside the city, so we don't have to rush over. I'll go there first. I'll tell you when there's any news."

"Is this appropriate?" Miss San said uneasily, "This was originally our business, but you pushed it all onto you."

"What's inappropriate?" Yu Tang said with a smile, "Don't you still have classes? I just happen to have nothing to do these days. When I get busy, I will have to order you to run errands! This is what you said, to let me and you help the masters of Ku'an Temple make incense together."

They both smiled shyly.

Yu Tang made the decision: "This matter has been decided."

She is in a good mood.

You can fool Pei Yan right away.

After seeing off the third and fifth young ladies, Yu Tang began to prepare her clothes for the meeting with Pei Yan tomorrow. Early the next morning, she went out to the Pei family's villa.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the villa.

Pei Yan was lying on a reclining chair under the canopy-like camphor tree in the yard, reading a book. When he saw Yu Tang coming in, he called Ah Ming to bring a rose chair over for Yu Tang, and pointed to the teapot on the tea table: "Sangju Drink, would you like some?"

Clearing away heat and detoxifying, it is the perfect drink for spring.

"Thank you, Third Master." Yu Tang sat down with a smile.
