Pei Yan strode to the armchair, lifted his robe and sat down.

He felt that he was no different from usual, but Qing Yuan glanced at him quickly.

The Third Elder's actions just now seemed a little impatient, as if he was deliberately trying to attract attention.

Is the Third Master trying to hide something?

Qing Yuan couldn't understand.

Pei Yanyi asked: "What? Did I wake you up?"

Isn't this obvious?

Yu Tang muttered to himself, but was startled by Pei Yan's gentle voice.

She was awakened from her sleep and glanced at Pei Yan. She saw that his expression was very gentle and he didn't seem to be saying one thing and thinking another. She was secretly surprised but didn't dare to show it on her face. She nodded with a smile on her face.

Pei Yan looked at it and was surprised to find that he seemed to be a little too anxious.

Anyway, he is at home at night, and Miss Yu is very safe here. It’s okay to bring Mrs. Tao over tomorrow.

But since he's here and everyone has been woken up, it's better to deal with this matter quickly. Otherwise, given his temper, he will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.

Pei Yan said: "Although we haven't found out how Gu Chang knows you, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Besides, there is also the matter of Peng Shiyi and Li Duan. I don't know when it will explode. I was very worried, so I borrowed someone from the Tao family. Normally, you can just treat her as a guest, but as long as you leave this courtyard, you must bring this woman with you - she knows martial arts, and if you encounter any trouble, she can help you block it."

Yu Tang was very surprised.

She had only seen people like this in picture books, and they were all young and beautiful chivalrous women.

Now Pei Yan brought a maid with him. She couldn't help but ask, "Since she's a maid, she must be quite old. Can she do it?"

"Don't worry!" Pei Yan said confidently, "Brother Tao is very reliable. Since he can lend me the person, he must be sure of it. Just listen to me."

If he hadn't mentioned it, Yu Tang would have almost forgotten about Peng Shiyi and Li Duan. Now that Pei Yan mentioned it, although she felt that what happened in the past life would definitely not happen again in this life, she couldn't refuse Pei Yan's kindness and let him see the clues, so she had to say: "Don't worry, I will definitely do as you say, and take the woman with me when I leave this yard."

Pei Yan saw that she took his words to heart, and thought that since she could see into people's minds, sooner or later Peng Shiyi and Li Duan would hurt her as she had dreamed. He could not be too cautious. Only when he could find evidence against Peng Shiyi and Li Duan and get rid of them, would Miss Yu be truly safe.

He reminded Yu Tang several times before asking someone to invite Mrs. Tao in.

Grandma Tao was wearing a large plain jacket made of fine blue cloth and a white undershirt. She stood with her back straight and looked clean, tidy, solemn and dignified.

She walked up to Yu Tang, bowed, and greeted him, seeming a little silent.

Since Yu Tang knew who she was, he looked at her as an older, retired heroine, so he was naturally very polite to her. He told her to go directly to Qing Yuan if she had any problems, and then served tea and asked Qing Yuan to take her downstairs to rest.

Pei Yan was very pleased to see that things were going smoothly, and he walked away with great vigor.

Yu Tang sighed.

She could feel Pei Yan's kindness and was grateful that he went to the Tao family to borrow someone, but it would be more perfect if Pei Yan could stop being so awkward and be more honest.

This may be in line with the saying "There is no perfect person in the world", and this may be Pei Yan's shortcoming, Pei Yan's shortcoming.

What can she do?

You can only adapt slowly and find a way to accept it!

Yu Tang returned to the room and finally fell asleep after lying on the bed.

Yin Hao yawned and waited until Pei Yan came back.

"What did you do?" he asked worriedly, "Could something have happened to Wang Qibao?"

Pei Yan subconsciously did not want to tell Yin Hao about this. He said vaguely, "This is Hangzhou City, not Suzhou. What could happen to Wang Qibao? Can I let Wang Qibao get into trouble here?"

Yin Hao was speechless.

Although the Pei family's ancestral home is Lin'an, they secretly occupy Hangzhou City and are the de facto local tyrants in Hangzhou City.

It is impossible for anything to happen to Wang Qibao while he is in Hangzhou.

Yin Hao pondered in his heart.

No wonder Pei Mansion is a little short-staffed.

He suspected that Pei Yan had sent some people to Wang Qibao to both guard and monitor him.

No wonder Pei Yan always gets the news earlier than them.

Yin Hao glared at Pei Yan and said, "Aren't I worried that something might happen to you?"

Pei Yan snorted coldly without saying anything.

Yin Hao looked at him and thought that he didn't seem to be in any trouble. He thought that Pei Yan was also cunning and shrewd. He was the only one who schemed against others, but no one else schemed against him... Of course, if Pei Yan was really schemed against by someone, he would only applaud and see who had such ability. He would get to know him no matter what.

He laughed and talked about Gu Chang: "Mrs. Yang San thinks it's feasible. I plan to invite him to have lunch tomorrow. Why don't you come with us? You can also give him some advice."

Pei Yancai didn't want to get involved in Gu Chang's affairs. He glanced at Yin Hao and said, "Do you really want me to go? When I was in the capital, I heard someone say that he felt that among the young scholars, the only one whose moral character and appearance he admired was your Yin Mingyuan! Do you think it's appropriate for me to go?"

The corners of Yin Hao's mouth twitched.

As Zhang Ying's last disciple, Pei Yan was very popular in the capital, and many people envied him. Pei Yan's words were clearly hinting that Gu Chang was also one of those who envied and envied him. If Pei Yan was present, it would only embarrass Gu Chang, not to mention the marriage. He might even become an enemy as soon as he said it.

Yin Hao insulted him: "If you don't want to go, just don't go. Why do you have to bring up Gu Chaoyang? No matter how much Gu Chaoyang envies and envies you, he is still working in the officialdom! As for you, you have retired and inherited the family business. No matter how powerful you are, you can only be powerful in your small piece of land. No matter how much envy and jealousy he has, I'm afraid he has already let it go."

Pei Yan was so angry that he drove Yin Hao away.

Yin Hao really didn't dare to let him be the lobbyist.

At noon the next day, he invited Gu Chang to have lunch at the waterside pavilion of Pei Yan's house.

The Pei family's cook, wearing a blue coarse brown coat and holding a knife, was waiting by the waterside pavilion with a group of apprentices. Yin Hao and Gu Chang were sitting side by side on a small stool by the lake, and one of them was fishing with a fishing rod.

"Xiaguang really knows how to enjoy life!" Yin Hao sighed as he looked at the lake where the lotus leaves had just begun to emerge. "Look at this posture. If it were me, I would also be willing to retire and return home to inherit the family business. No wonder Zhou Zijin is so jealous of him. This guy will never let himself suffer a loss anywhere."

Gu Chang smiled but said nothing.

A person who lives a life of idleness and waiting for death in the countryside, no matter how talented and brilliant he was in the past, has been away from the court for a long time, and his influence has gradually decreased. What can he use to protect the interests of his family? What is there to envy?

He would never do that!

Yin Hao looked at it and became more energetic. He began to slowly reveal the Yin family's plan to Gu Chang: "However, everyone has their own aspirations. Although I envy you, if you really want me to give up my promising future in Beijing and return home like Xia Guang, I definitely won't be willing..."

Over there, Yu Tang and Miss Xu were getting ready to go out for a walk.

Because she got the news from Pei Yan in advance, Mrs. Yang San changed her schedule yesterday afternoon and went to visit Qin Wei, the governor of Zhejiang Province. Mrs. Qin was very surprised by Mrs. Yang San's visit, but fortunately, Mrs. Yang San was a master of socializing, and she quickly convinced Mrs. Qin that the Qin family was on her visiting list. She hit it off with Mrs. Yang San and even made an appointment to go shopping in a jewelry store together this afternoon.

Miss Xu whispered to her, "Let's not go there. It's too formal. Let's go shopping on our own and come back together. Pei's mule is quite comfortable to sit in, but it's not good to be watched and talked about wherever we go."

Yu Tang was only prepared to be a good companion today. She smiled and agreed, and asked Tao Po who was following her: "Are you used to it?"

Mrs. Tao smiled and agreed, saying, "Miss, you should still call me Mrs. Tao. I have lived in Hangzhou for more than 20 years, and there is no corner that I am not familiar with. Wherever Miss wants to go, I can help lead the way."

Yu Tang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite and will call you Granny Tao."

Grandma Tao nodded repeatedly.

Yu Tang mentioned several century-old shops where Miss Xu wanted to buy gifts.

Grandma Tao hurriedly told them how to get there.

Yu Tang excitedly discussed with Miss Xu where to go first and then, and asked Mrs. Tao if there were any good things to sell in Hangzhou City that were unknown to outsiders. However, Mrs. Yang San was still not out.

After half an incense stick of time, Miss Xu could no longer bear it and asked Ah Fu to find out what happened to Mrs. Yang San.

After a while, Ah Fu came back trotting and said, "Mrs. Yang San is writing a letter. Please wait for a moment, she will be here soon."

As a result, they waited for another two incense sticks before Mrs. Yang San came out with a smile on her face. She first called a servant to deliver a letter, and then said to Miss Xu: "You must be waiting impatiently, right? Today I will treat you to the most famous Dingding Cake in Hangzhou City, how about that?"

Miss Xu immediately forgot about the pain of waiting and asked Mrs. Tao: "Where is the best?"

Tao Po first glanced at Mrs. Yang San, and seeing that she was still gentle, she said, "I do know one, it's at the Beiguan Night Market."

Mrs. Yang San asked, "Where is Beiguan Night Market? Judging from the name, it should be open at night. Do they do business during the day?"

Grandma Tao laughed and said, "They are a small business, selling during the day and at night, otherwise how can they make money!"

Chatting and laughing, a few people went to Changxinghao, the largest silver shop in Hangzhou.

But when Yu Tang came back in the evening, he was stunned by shocking news.

Gu Chang is actually going to marry the Yin family!

Marry the daughter of Yin Mingyuan's second uncle.

How could this happen?

Well, what about Miss Sun?

Yu Tang felt that after her rebirth, many things were messed up and she could not see the way forward for the future at all.

When Miss Xu came over excitedly to gossip with Yu Tang, she saw that she looked depressed and thought that Yu Tang was hit by this incident. She hurriedly comforted Yu Tang: "Your family is small and you want to recruit a live-in son-in-law. How can Gu Chaoyang be a live-in son-in-law? Since he has no fate with you, just pretend that you don't know him."
