Yu Tang sneered in his heart when he heard this.
What do you mean don't worry about it?
Since you told her not to worry about it, then don't tell her!
What does it mean to tell her not to worry about it, but at the same time tell her everything in detail?
I'm afraid Pei Yan is starting to say one thing and mean another again?
If it weren't for Pei Yan's sarcasm before, Yu Tang would have turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, thinking about the Pei family's kindness to her and Pei Yan's help to her. But after she was ridiculed by Pei Yan, she felt that she was usually too used to Pei Yan, so Pei Yan would be unscrupulous, say whatever he wanted, and do whatever he wanted!
I'll give in to you, so every word you say will naturally be valuable.
If I let you go, why would I care what you do!
Yu Tang had made up his mind to ignore Pei Yan. He spoke to him as if he were a distinguished guest, respectful and enthusiastic. As for whether he would go to do it, that was another matter. "Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my family. No wonder others say that the Third Elder is kind-hearted. Following you will bring you good fortune!"
Pei Yan thought the tone was so flattering!
Yu Tang is not usually like this!
Pei Yan couldn't help but look at Yu Tang carefully.
Perhaps because she was having breakfast indoors, she was wearing a half-new scarlet silk jacket with eight-treasure pattern. Her dark and shiny hair was neatly tied up in a bun at the back of her head, revealing her bright eyes and eyebrows. She was as beautiful as the morning sun at noon, dazzlingly beautiful.
Pei Yan frowned.
In the past, Yu Tang would have definitely asked him what happened, but at this moment, she just sat there quietly, smiled and pushed the teacup beside her, saying, "Have some tea! This is the 'Snow Water and Cloud Green' that Madam Yang San sent me two days ago. I think it tastes good, so I used it to entertain guests. The name is quite unique. 'Snow Water', when I first heard it, I thought it was because this tea is produced in the north of the high snow peaks? Unexpectedly, Madam Yang San said that it was because this tea is produced from the Snow Water Peak..."
She was babble-ing on and on as if she was talking about family matters, but when you listened carefully, you could tell she was saying nothing.
Pei Yan hated these parents' gossips the most. Sometimes Yu Tang would say these things in front of him, but he didn't hate it. But for some reason, he felt a little irritated when he heard them today. He always felt that Yu Tang had something else in his words, but he couldn't grasp the thread and felt a little powerless.
He simply interrupted Yu Tang and asked, "Do you have anything to say about the Jiang family?"
Yu Tang wanted to confront Pei Yan. He simply followed his example and said solemnly, "I see you have arranged everything. I come from the streets and don't understand any great principles. You must have your own intentions in making such arrangements. We just listen and do as you are told. What else can I say?" After saying that, he showed a look of sudden realization and hurriedly said, "The Yu family has received a lot of favors from you. When I go back, I will tell my father and let him come to thank you in person."
Did I want your father to come and thank you?
Pei Yan was so angry that he felt the cushions were hard, the tea was weak, and the room was still filled with the smell of food. The longer he sat there, the more uncomfortable he felt. He simply stood up and said, "Since you have nothing to say, then this matter is settled. When we return to Lin'an, I will talk to your father."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yu Tang did not try to keep him. He said "yes" with a smile and sent him out.
Pei Yan felt even more uncomfortable.
He felt that Yu Tang certainly did not understand what he meant. If she knew that he was not only giving money to their family, but also trying to bring their family into the business circle that only merchants from Suzhou and Zhejiang University could enter, she would not be so cold.
You know, he just gave her a few dying sea buckthorn trees before, and she was very grateful and said a lot of nice things.
For the sake of this incident, he might as well give her a few more advice.
Pei Yan thought about it and stopped at the gate of the courtyard. He said, "If Miss Xu wants to go out to buy local gifts to bring back to the capital, you should also remember to buy some suitable gifts for Miss Xu to take home. Give and take is the way to get along with each other."
Yu Tang really didn't expect this.
She was slightly stunned. She felt that she didn't need to get angry like a cat whose tail was stepped on because of Pei Yan's good intentions, nor did she need to swallow her anger and not resist because of his bad intentions. She just needed to keep a normal mind.
"I know!" She smiled and thanked Pei Yan, "Thank you for reminding me."
Pei Yan felt Yu Tang's sincerity and thought her attitude was good. He nodded with satisfaction and returned to his residence.
Yu Tang curled his lips at Pei Yan's back, then took his pen, ink, paper and inkstone to go to Miss Xu.
Miss Xu was cutting paper at her desk. Seeing this, she asked, "Why are you here?"
To prevent Pei Yan from remembering something and running back to her again.
Yu Tang thought to himself, but couldn't tell Miss Xu, so he smiled and said, "What's the difference between you going to my place and me coming to your place?" Then he asked, "Has the Third Madam left yet?"
Miss Xu said "hmm", and asked Ah Fu to sort out the place for Yu Tang to copy Buddhist scriptures, and then said: "She left early in the morning and said she would not come back for lunch or dinner. You can stay here for dinner today!"
Yu Tang readily agreed and went to help Miss Xu cut the paper.
While cutting paper, Miss Xu chatted with Yu Tang: "The Zhang family must be in a mess right now. I have a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Zhang family. Her father and uncle are not in good health. The family was counting on her uncle to have a long career, but who knew something like this would happen. I feel so sorry for them when I think about it, and I don't feel like going out to play."
Yu Tang thought this was human nature, and said, "Then why don't you write a letter to the capital to comfort Miss Zhang first? She must be very sad after such a thing happened in her family."
Miss Xu sighed, "Who says it's not true? The most important thing is her marriage. She will be coming of age in September. To respect the eldest son, she must not get married for three years."
Yu Tang asked about the Zhang family.
Miss Xu told Zhang Lao Da that he had three sons and one daughter. The daughter was the youngest and was already married. Although Zhang Shao was the eldest son, he had difficulty in having children. He had given birth to several children before but none of them survived. Now he only had one son, who was only seven years old this year. The eldest daughter of the second wife became the eldest daughter. But the second wife also had few children. Miss Zhang had only one younger brother, who was nine years old this year. Her third uncle had two sons, one six years old and one three years old.
She said, "I'm afraid the Madam is the most upset. The Zhang family is in a period of transition. Lord Jiang is not liked by Old Lord Zhang, and we don't know which family will be closer to the Zhang family in the future. I'm afraid the Zhang family will marry into a family like this."
In other words, the Zhang family lost its heir, and in order to keep the connections and resources that Old Master Zhang once had, Old Master Zhang would choose an heir from among his own children. And in order for this heir to take care of the Zhang family, the best way is for the two families to marry.
Yu Tang asked, "Are you afraid that Miss Zhang will marry the wrong person?"
Miss Xu said angrily, "I am afraid that the Zhang family will have no choice but to choose the Jiang family. You should know that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family is the eldest daughter of the Wu family in Huzhou. You have seen what kind of character the daughter of the Wu family is. If I had such a person as a sister-in-law, I would be so angry that I would die."
Yu Tang had no choice but to comfort her: "Didn't you say that Mr. Zhang doesn't like Mr. Jiang very much? Not to mention being in-laws. Maybe Mr. Zhang has his own plans!"
Miss Xu pouted and said, "It would be better to marry into the Shen family. After all, they have a long history of poetry and literature. Lord Shen is gentle and tolerant, and the women in the family are honest and obedient. It's just that the sons of the Shen family are not very good at studying, which is a bit worrying."
Yu Tang thought about it carefully and remembered that there was a young man in the Shen family who seemed to be the same age as Li Duan.
It seems to be the one with the nickname "Jing'an Jushi".
She thought that she should help the Zhang family because of the relationship between the Zhang family and Pei Yan. But when the words came to her lips, she thought that if the Zhang family married the Shen family, the resources in the hands of Mr. Zhang would probably be tilted towards his grandson-in-law, right?
The Pei family was able to avoid these disasters in the previous life. What if it was related to the strong support of the Zhang family? In this life, she gave random advice. What if it caused the Pei family to suffer losses?
It is okay for two people to be at odds with each other, but the disagreement should not damage the foundation.
Yu Tang thought for a while and decided to ask Pei Yan before making a decision.
She chatted with Miss Xu, and after cutting the paper, she began to copy the Buddhist scriptures.
Miss Xu said, "I'll make a copy for Miss Zhang as well, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her with everything going well."
Yu Tang smiled and said, "It seems that you have a very good relationship with Miss Zhang!"
Miss Xu said, "We grew up together. When my mother carried me to the temple to worship the Bodhisattva, her mother would also carry her. When the adults went to listen to lectures, we would play together in the yard. It's a pity that there are not many people in the Yin family, otherwise I would have thought about whether we could be sisters-in-law!"
When you have someone to keep you company, time flies by and a day goes by in the blink of an eye.
Yu Tang and Miss Xu had almost finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, so they agreed to copy the scriptures for another day tomorrow and go to Lingyin Temple the day after tomorrow.
This news soon reached Pei Yan's ears.
Pei Yan and Yin Hao discussed: "Tomorrow we will go to visit Wang Qibao. The day after tomorrow we will all take a day off. I will go to Lingyin Temple."
Yin Hao asked curiously, "What are you going to do at Lingyin Temple at this time? We are going to visit Wang Qibao tomorrow, but Tao Qing hasn't come yet. Are you and I going alone? What will we say? What's the point?"
Pei Yan said: "I'm here to help the Tao family. It's good that Tao Qing is here, but if he's not here, it'll be easier for us to talk about some things."
Yin Hao felt that Pei Yan was completely making excuses, and he looked at him in confusion.
Pei Yan ignored Yin Hao and went back to the house to ask Ah Cha: "Didn't Miss Yu go out today?"
Didn’t we agree not to go out?
Ah Cha didn't understand.
Pei Yan thought, there must be a reason why he left him in this house unused.
He then asked, "Didn't Miss Yu send a letter back to Lin'an?"
He gave the Yu family such a big piece of cake. Yu Tang should have been very happy to send a letter to her father and let her father come to discuss it with him in detail.
Ah Cha thought about it carefully for a moment and shook his head, "No! Miss Yu stayed at Miss Xu's place today and didn't go out all day. Sister Shuang Tao was also there to serve her and didn't ask us to run errands."
What the hell is Yu Tang doing?
Did he not believe what he said? Or was he going to return to Lin'an and make plans later?
