Pei Yan actually rushed over.

It was obvious that her words had an effect on him.

The little boy in Yu Tang's heart was so happy that he managed to control the upward smile and followed Aunt Ji to the farmland.

She decided to continue fooling Pei Yan.

Anyway, he is very powerful, and what she is talking about are harmless, so let him worry about it himself.

The more Yu Tang thought about it, the happier he felt, and before he knew it, he followed Aunt Ji into Pei Yan's study.

Pei Yan's study was the same as usual, with dry branches inserted in plum vases, thin quilts that were neither new nor old neatly placed on the rocking chair, and a four-compartment box on the tea table next to the rocking chair, which contained some odds and ends. The strong fragrance of books was filled with warmth, which made people feel calm when they looked at it.

Yu Tang was a little jealous of Pei Yan for having such a big study room, so she took a closer look at it this time.

Pei Yan followed him in without even changing his clothes, leaned against the large desk in the middle of the study, pointed to the Zen chair next to the rocking chair with a calm expression, and said, "Sit down!"

Yu Tang felt that Pei Yan was originally a head taller than her. If she sat down, wouldn't she look even less imposing?

This was detrimental to what she was about to say next.

She smiled and thanked him, but did not sit down obediently.

Pei Yan sighed in his heart.

This is going against you!

However, she was just a little kitten at most. When she got angry, she only dared to stretch out her claws and nip him a few times. At most, she would tear up one of his paintings or break one of his vase. He could still afford such losses and there was no need to be afraid.

"What did my mother say?" Pei Yan didn't hesitate to ask, "How is the incense ceremony at Zhaoming Temple arranged during the Buddha's Bathing Festival?"

"I didn't ask." Yu Tang stared at Pei Yan with her big eyes, which were clearly black and white, and looked at him sincerely.

Pei Yan was surprised.

Yu Tang said with a guilty look on his face: "This is all my fault. I realized it only after I arrived at the mansion and met Old An - when I stayed at the mansion before, the housekeeper and his wife would tell us everything one day in advance. The lecture was so important that the housekeeper must be in charge. In this case, the schedule of the lecture must have been set in advance and told to all the participants. I was too impatient, and I had lived in the streets since I was a child. I didn't think it through until I met Old An and Aunt Chen."

Pei Yan felt a lump in his chest when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.

Only he took the girl's words seriously and hurried back, fearing that she would cause trouble at the lecture. If so, it would not only be the Gu family that would be embarrassed, but also the Pei family and the Yu family.

Looking at Yu Tang, whose eyes were gleaming with joy and who looked as if she had succeeded in her plan, could he still blame her for having been fooled?

Pei Yan felt tired.

He pressed his temples tiredly and said helplessly, "Since you think it's unnecessary to know in advance, just wait until the itinerary for that day comes out! However, since the itinerary is out, you have to follow it. Otherwise, the lecture will not go smoothly, and it will be a loss of face for Old An."

Yu Tang understood.

In her previous life, she had experienced Gu Xi presenting the incense recipe.

After all, it's just a few pages.

No matter how well Gu Xi did, and how he wanted to gain a good reputation for himself through this matter, it was not as good as the merit box that needed four people to carry, nor the incense plate the size of a foot basin, nor the incense sticks as thick as a child's arm.

She has plenty of ways to suppress Gu Xi.

Moreover, she was looking forward to this day coming sooner so that she could see Gu Xi's gloomy face.

"Third Master, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." Yu Tang took a sip of the rock tea brought by A Ming. It was a pity that he didn't have time to eat the peach cake in Pei Yan's study.

Rock tea with peach cake, just thinking about it is so delicious that it makes your tongue curl.

But she had already provoked Pei Yan, and she was afraid that Pei Yan would lose his temper.

When the emperor gets angry, millions of people die and blood flows for thousands of miles.

Pei Yan is certainly not as powerful as the emperor, but it is easy to make the people of Lin'an City, or the Yu family, unhappy.

"I have already told Old An that I want to borrow Little Tong, the shopkeeper," she said respectfully, not wanting to provoke Pei Yan at this time. "We have to go in person to show our sincerity. It's not long before the Buddha's Bathing Festival, and I'm a little anxious. I want to visit the Tong family tomorrow." After that, she bowed to Pei Yan, and acted as if she had something to do and had to go regardless of whether you agree or not. She also reminded Pei Yan, "Remember to send someone to tell the two Tong shopkeepers, lest I go there without thinking and the two Tong shopkeepers don't know what happened and don't believe me, which will be troublesome."

Pei Yan felt annoyed just by looking at her, so he waved his hand and let her go.

Yu Tang felt like a bird that had escaped from a cage, and he suddenly felt like he was flying high.

On the way, she tried to persuade Xiao Tong's mother-in-law, Aunt Ji, who was the shopkeeper: "Although it may not look as impressive as those big shopkeepers, it is a good deed and a way to leave a name for yourself. No matter how far or how high you go, you will always return to your roots. Having a good reputation in your hometown is something that others cannot even ask for."

Aunt Ji laughed and said, "Miss Yu, you don't have to tell me this. Our Ji family and Tong family are all hereditary servants of the Pei family and have received great favors from the Pei family. We will do whatever the Third Elder and Old An ask us to do. Not to mention helping you and the ladies to manage the affairs of Ku'an Temple, even if he is asked to be the head of a farm, he will learn from the old tenants and help the Third Elder and Old An to manage the farm affairs."

Yu Tang chuckled, his face feeling a little hot.

After returning home from Pei's house, she collapsed on the bed due to exhaustion.

Chen thought she was just a guest at Pei's house for a day, and she felt a little distressed when she saw her. She said, "Do what you can. If you really can't take care of it, don't worry about Ku'an Temple. I'm sure Mr. Pei will understand."

Yu Tang uttered a few perfunctory "hmm".

Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted her shoulder fiercely, sat down in front of her bed, and said softly, "Atang, Mommy wants to tell you something."

When Yu Tang heard this, he immediately sat up alertly, and his tone became dry: "You say!"

When Mrs. Chen saw her like this, she was furious. She slapped her hands fiercely and said, "What are you doing? I am doing this for your own good. It's the beginning of the year, and you are already eighteen years old. Other girls your age have already married, but you haven't even started your marriage yet. Am I not worried?"

Yu Tang hurriedly comforted Chen: "I know, I know. I didn't say anything. I just told you not to worry. This is not like buying bowls or plates. If it doesn't work, you can buy more." Her mind was spinning rapidly, "Didn't my father also say not to worry?"

"But I think the family that Mrs. Wu introduced to you this time is quite good." She said unwillingly, "I think the child is also very good..."

Yu Tang could only ask, "Whose family is he from? If you think he's a good person, I'll go take a look."

Anyway, since the Chinese New Year, her family has looked at several families, but either her mother disliked the candidates because they were too ugly, or her father disliked the candidates because they were uneducated... How could an educated and good-looking person marry into another family?

She didn't want to burst her parents' bubble, so she just let them do what they wanted.

Anyway, eight out of nine times out of ten marriages will fail.

Seeing her daughter was obedient, Chen was greatly encouraged and said hurriedly, "He is the grandson of Mrs. Wu's aunt ...

Yu Tang listened to what she heard with one ear and let it out with the other. She was thinking about meeting Xiao Tong the next day. She took Chen's words as a hypnotic song and fell asleep. If Chen hadn't pinched her, she would have slept until the next morning.

Chen was filled with hatred and gave Yu Tang a severe scolding. During dinner, she also complained about her to Yu Wen.

Yu Wen smiled and tried to cover up the truth, and finally managed to coax Chen into laughing, and the sky cleared up after the storm.

Yu Tang quietly gave his father a thumbs up.

Yu Wen smiled at her proudly, and took the opportunity when Chen called Mrs. Chen in to ask questions to whisper to Yu Tang: "Marriage can't be rushed, and problems are likely to arise if you rush. Don't listen to your mother on everything. If you go to see a date one day, remember what Dad said, if you are not satisfied with anything, don't agree, otherwise it will definitely hurt others and yourself."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

But in Pei's house, Old Man Pei held the teacup for a long time without moving.

Zhenzhu had no choice but to step forward cautiously and massage Pei Laoan's shoulders.

Pei Laoan murmured to himself: "Why did you come back at this time? Instead of coming to see me first, you went to see Miss Yu first, and even stopped her at the door..."

When had her son ever done such a thing?

Pei Laoan's heart moved.

Could it be that Pei Yan from their family has taken a fancy to Yu Tang from Yu Xiucai's family?

As the saying goes, even a hero cannot resist the temptation of a beautiful woman.

Yu Tang is indeed a beauty, but who knows whether she is a barrier or not?

Anyway, it will only be a few months before the old lady finishes her mourning period, so there is no rush for the youngest son's marriage.

And even if she was anxious it would be of no use.

Pei Yan has always been opinionated. He said no to the marriage with the Li family. No matter how the Li family treated him, he just wouldn't agree. The Yu family... they were too far apart.

Maybe she was just overthinking it.

Mr. Pei shook his head, but he still felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

The next day, Yu Tang went to meet the two storekeepers, the older and younger Tong.

Pei Yan is open and honest in his work.

Both the big and small Tongs got the news. When they saw Yu Tang, both of them laughed. The big Tong said to her calmly, "Child, if you want Xiao Tong to do something, just let him do it. Why bother asking the third elder to give him this grace and give him a proper position as a steward? If someone among the general managers quits in the future, Xiao Tong will have a chance to compete for the position of general manager."

Is there such a thing?

Yu Tang was embarrassed, not wanting to take away Pei Yan's credit, and said, "This was all Third Elder's idea. I was just helping out from the side."

Tong, the head shopkeeper, already knew all about this. He couldn't explain some things clearly. He smiled and said, "No matter whose contribution it is, we are grateful to you for thinking of us at this time." He seemed not to want to talk about it anymore and changed the subject to the incense making: "I asked someone to find out about the incense maker after receiving the news. There should be news coming in the next two or three days."
