Yu Wen quickly sat up straight and said to Yu Tang, "What are you doing here? Did your mother ask you to come?"

Yu Tang did not answer, but smiled and said: "I made some snow cake for Dad. Please try it. Is mine better or Mom's better?"

Before he even took a bite of the cake, Yu Wen smiled lovingly and said, "Of course our Atang's cakes are the best. Your mother has kept her craftsmanship for ten years. You are young and know how to adapt. Last time, you added almonds and olives to the snowflake cakes you made. They were very special and Mr. Wu praised them for being delicious!"

Yu Tang smiled and brewed a pot of the best West Lake Longjing tea for Yu Wen.

Yu Wen had already eaten a piece of cake and then drank the hot tea made by his daughter. The sweet taste was diluted by the slightly bitter taste of green tea, leaving only a happy feeling in his mouth.

He nodded slightly and said, "Atang, the Pei family's affairs are between your mother and me. You don't have to worry about it. But you can rest assured that I won't let you suffer any loss."

Seeing his father bring up this matter, Yu Tang felt relieved and said with a smile, "Father, everyone thinks this marriage is good, why do you think it's not good?" After saying that, before Yu Wen could speak, he continued, "Father, I know you must have a reason, can you tell me? Then I can persuade Mom, so you don't have to quarrel with Mom, and Mom doesn't get angry. Do you think this is a good idea?"

Yu Wen couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

He and Chen had been married for so many years, but they had never been as angry with each other as they were today. He was actually feeling very uncomfortable.

Yu Wen thought for a moment and said, "I think life is short and there is no need to work so hard. For example, if you marry an ordinary family, our family can easily prepare your dowry. But if you marry into the Pei family, everything will be better than before. If you are wronged in the future, I can't go to your house to blame you. I think this marriage is meaningless."

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Master Pei San, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Yu Wen pondered and said, "If there is anything bad to say... it's that I'm too cold to people..."

He couldn't act like a father-in-law in front of him.

He only has one daughter, Yu Tang, and he can only have one son-in-law. If he cannot act like a father-in-law in front of his son-in-law, then his daughter would be given to someone else for nothing. He felt uncomfortable when he thought about it.

Yu Tang asked, "Have you ever thought about asking Pei Yan in person what he plans to do with these things in the future?"

Yu Wen was stunned.

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Father, it's useless to sit here and think about it. Instead of racking your brains with guesses, I think it's better to find Master Pei San to ask him clearly. If he thinks our family's demands are too much, we can discuss this marriage later. Do you think what I say makes sense?"

yes!

How can you raise the price when doing business and pay it back when it lands? He is marrying off his daughter, how can he marry her off without thinking clearly?

This is much more important than those businesses!

Yu Wen slapped his thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of that? You're right, I'll send someone to give Master Pei San a message and ask him to come see me. If he still has the same attitude as before, this marriage will be canceled immediately."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly and said, "Let Ah Tiao deliver the letter. He has followed you in and out of the Pei family several times. The gatekeeper should know him."

Yu Wen thought it made sense, and immediately called Ah Tiao in, asking him to take his business card and ask Pei Yan to come over.

Ah Tiao responded tremblingly and ran out of the study.

Yu Wen was worried again: "What if he doesn't come?"

Yu Tang immediately said decisively: "Then our family will not marry into their family."

"That's right!" Yu Wen agreed loudly, feeling happy.

Yu Tang smiled.

Yu Wen started to complain to her about Master Wu, saying that Master Wu did not follow his own way but spoke for the Pei family. Yu Tang listened quietly, agreeing with his father from time to time, which made Yu Wen feel a lot better.

Chen, who was waiting outside for news, knew that Yu Wen was going to call Pei Yan over for questioning. She sweated in her palms. After whispering with Wang for a long time, she found an excuse to call Yu Tang out of the study and asked Yu Tang, "How could you give your father such an unreliable idea? What if Master Pei San gets upset and doesn't want to marry into our family? Master Pei San has a bad temper, you know that, and he doesn't only care about your father. What do you have to worry about?"

Or maybe her marriage was really too difficult, and it was rare for her to find a man with excellent character and knowledge, which Chen and Wang attached great importance to.

Yu Tang had no choice but to comfort them with a smile: "I haven't been able to marry into the Pei family yet. If Master Pei San is unwilling to give me even this little respect, how much respect can you expect him to have for me in the future!"

Wang and Chen had nothing to say.

Yu Tang winked at Xiang Shi and pushed them to go to the living room to drink tea: "The third elder of the Pei family will be here soon. I don't know how long he will talk to my father. The weather is so hot, you should sit in the house to cool down!"

Chen and Wang still had frowns on their faces, but they followed Yu Tang's instructions and went to sit in the hall.

The two of them couldn't help but talk about the marriage with the Pei family, but Yu Wen was against it and Yu Tang was heartless. Chen and Wang felt that these two were not the ones who could talk, so they simply left Yu Tang aside and took Xiang aside to talk to them in private.

Yu Tang had no choice but to go back to his room.

But before she had finished making half a silk flower, Shuang Tao came in with a strange look on her face and whispered to her, "Miss, Ah Ming is here and said that the Third Elder wants to see you now. He is at the back door of our house."

Yu Tang was very surprised.

Just let him come over, why did he go to the back door of her house first?

Yu Tang wondered if Pei Yan had something to say to her, so she quickly changed her clothes and went to the back door accompanied by Shuang Tao.

The sun was shining directly overhead. Even though there were two old locust trees, each as thick as a man's embrace, planted outside the back door of Yu Tang's house, the windless alley was still very hot.

Pei Yan held a bamboo-handled Sichuan fan above his head, wearing a thin white silk gown and a white silk waistband, looking cool and refreshing. But when he saw Yu Tang, he said, "Why did you come out just now? It's so hot!"

Seeing that his face was pale and sweat-free, and that he didn't look like he was overheated at all, Yu Tang couldn't help but ask, "How about I ask Shuang Tao to get you a palm-leaf fan to fan you?"

Pei Yan said, "Forget it! Business is more important. Do you know why Master Yu called me here?"

After hearing this, Yu Tang thought to himself: You are thoughtful enough to come to me to inquire about the news before meeting my father.

She said with a cheerful face, "I think I have something to ask you."

Pei Yan said in confusion: "Shouldn't you tell the matchmaker something? Why are you asking me in person all of a sudden? I don't know anything about engagement or betrothal. How about I go back and call someone who knows about this?" He asked Yu Tang the last sentence in a negotiating tone.

Yu Tang smiled and said, "It shouldn't be those." But he felt that he couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so he simply said, "Just go and see my father. Just answer whatever he asks you."

"How can that be!" Pei Yan firmly objected, "Answering this wrongly can be fatal." He also complained to Yu Tang, "Why don't you take it seriously at all?"

Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan.

Is he actually nervous?!

Her heart softened, and a hint of tenderness suddenly appeared between her eyebrows. She said in a comforting tone, "My father thinks that we are not a good match, and he probably wants to ask you why you want to marry me."

Pei Yan nodded with a cold face, but Yu Tang clearly felt that he seemed relieved.

She was about to tell him a few more things, but Pei Yan had already said, "Isn't it just inferiority complex? Okay, I know how to deal with your father!"

Yu Tang immediately frowned and wanted to hit him. He said, "How can you talk like that?"

"What's wrong with me?" Pei Yan was shocked and took a few steps back and said, "What's that expression on your face? You look like you want to eat me? You're not like this usually. How did I offend you?"

Yu Tang was so angry that he stamped his feet and didn't want to say a word to the person in front of him.

"Then just give a good answer to my father's question. If you answer well, this marriage may be successful. If you answer badly, then we are not destined to be together!" She left a few words, turned around and walked into the house, and locked Pei Yan outside with a "bang".

Pei Yan's face changed drastically, and he was so angry that he walked back and forth for several rounds, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Look, what's going on?" He said angrily to Hu Xing who came over with him, "She actually dared to show me her disdain."

Hu Xing wanted to find a way to get in the way. He gritted his teeth and advised: "After all, Mr. Yu is Miss Yu's father. She definitely doesn't want to hear others criticize Mr. Yu..."

Pei Yan frowned and asked, "When did I ever criticize Master Yu?"

Hu Xing thought that he might really not know, so he gently reminded him, "You shouldn't say that Mr. Yu has an 'inferiority complex'..."

Pei Yan said nothing.

Seeing this, Hu Xing continued, "Of course you are right. But, he is Miss Yu's father after all, so it is a bit hurtful for you to say that!"

Pei Yan stood there for a long time without moving, with his eyes lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Hu Xing asked cautiously: "Then are we going to see Master Yu?"

"Of course we have to go see him." Pei Yan raised his head and said, "Why don't we go see Master Yu?"

Since Yu Tang doesn't like him talking about Master Yu like that, he'll just have to be careful in the future.

Hu Xing smiled and made a "please" gesture, saying: "Then let's go to the Yu family to pay a visit first."

Pei Yan nodded slightly and was led by Hu Xing to the gate of Yu's house.

Yu Tang was feeling a little irritated.

This Pei Yan doesn't care at all. When she meets her father later, who knows if she will have a tit-for-tat argument with him.

If such a scene really happened, what would she do?

Yu Tang frowned in embarrassment, called Shuang Tao, and went to the backyard of Yu Wen's study.

The study window was wide open, and the scene inside could be seen clearly.

Pei Yan and Yu Wen sat opposite each other on the desk. Yu Wen was waiting to tell Ah Ming to brew a pot of the best West Lake Longjing tea. He said to Pei Yan, "This was brought back to me by our daughter when she went to Hangzhou."
