Chen felt that this was a little inappropriate, so she stopped Master Wu and said, "Is there something urgent going on? Master Pei has been in for a while, and I think he should have finished talking soon. Would you like to have another cup of tea and wait a while..."

Mr. Wu interrupted Chen hastily and said, "How could I really ask Huili for a cup of tea? Am I not afraid that these two people will quarrel?"

Chen became anxious when he heard this, and Wang urged him directly: "Then go quickly! Then go and take a look!"

Mr. Wu sighed and left the hall in two steps.

Yu Tang looked at him in confusion and said, "No matter how bad Mr. Pei's temper is, he can never quarrel with my father!" Besides, she had just eavesdropped from the corner of the wall. Pei Yan's attitude was not to be called attentive, but he was not like a new son-in-law either.

Chen said angrily, "What do you know? Your father has such a bad temper. If he likes someone, then he is perfect. If he dislikes someone, then he is not good at all. That's how Mr. Lu caught your father's eye. Your father obeyed him and even lent him money to help him through the difficult times when the family ran out of money. I'm afraid that your father has a preconceived opinion of Mr. Pei San!"

She said this in great anxiety.

Yu Tang comforted his mother with a few words, but not only did he fail to dispel Chen's worries, but Chen kept complaining: "Do you understand your father? Or do I understand your father? Master Pei San is a reasonable person, but your father is not!"

When did her father become an unreasonable person? !

Yu Tang looked at his mother who was worried about Pei Yan and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, not long after, Mr. Wu accompanied Pei Yan out from the backyard.

Chen and others hurried to the window to look.

Mr. Wu's face was full of smiles. He was respectful yet friendly to Pei Yan. Pei Yan, on the other hand, changed his previous indifference and started chatting and laughing with Mr. Wu. The atmosphere between the two was harmonious and they got along very well.

"What's going on?" Chen and Wang looked at each other, "Where is Atang's father?"

Mr. Wu smiled and sent Pei Yan out the door. He stood at the door for a while and only came back after Pei Yan walked away.

Chen and Wang immediately rushed over and asked in unison, "What happened?"

"Where is our master? Why didn't he see us off?"

Yu Tang stood on tiptoe to listen, but Ah Tiao, who had quietly slipped in at some point, pulled her clothes and whispered, "Miss, Master Pei San said he is waiting for you in our backyard. See you there!"

She blushed.

Ah Tiao had already run away and disappeared.

Yu Tang was hesitating whether to be reserved and go later or go immediately to ask for clarification, when he heard Master Wu sighing, "The Pei family is indeed a family of farmers and scholars. Look at their upbringing and character. They are truly one in a million! Otherwise, why would I have tried so hard to arrange this marriage? Your daughter has fallen into a lucky nest." As he spoke, he began to talk about the meeting between Pei Yan and Yu Wen, "… … Huili was not polite at all and made many requests, but Master Pei San didn’t even frown and agreed to all of them. He was very humble and treated Huili as an elder. He spoke very respectfully… But Huili was addicted to acting like a father-in-law. When Master Pei San left, he sat there and waved like a big boss… I thought it was not good, so I helped him see him off.”

Chen and Wang scolded Yu Wen after hearing this: "Look how arrogant he is! Why doesn't he even consider the lady's dignity? Even an ordinary son-in-law shouldn't be treated like this. Mr. Pei San is a Jinshi!"

Mr. Wu said, "Who says it's not true?"

Although he said this, his tone couldn't hide his envy.

Chen and Wang were delighted when they saw this.

Xiang even nudged Yu Tang with his arm and said with a smile, "Now you can rest assured!"

Yu Tang muttered quietly, "I haven't been worried."

Xiang didn't believe it.

Yu Tang thought Pei Yan performed well and decided to praise him.

When she went to see Pei Yan, she wrapped a small bag of cherries in a handkerchief and handed it to Pei Yan as soon as she saw him, saying, "Here! This is your reward."

Pei Yan took it without knowing what it was. While looking at what it was, he asked, "What 'reward'? What do I have that is worthy of your reward?"

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Reward you for not saying anything nonsense in front of my father."

Pei Yan saw that it was a bag of cherries, and he was not very surprised. But thinking that this was the first time Yu Tang gave him something, he thought it was quite good, so he took it and handed it to Ah Ming who was serving beside him. Then he said to Yu Tang: "Isn't it because of your face? Didn't you ask me to be respectful to your father?"

Yu Tang smiled, like a blooming flower in the summer sun: "So I reward you!"

"Reward me for what? Reward me for listening to you?" Pei Yan said unhappily.

Yu Tang smiled and thought that Pei Yan was right to think so. If he continued to be so "obedient" in the future, she would continue to reward him.

Pei Yan was a little angry and felt that Yu Tang's attitude towards him was not very nice - it was a bit like how he treated his own puppy, giving it food if it was obedient, and locking it outside if it was disobedient.

His face suddenly turned pale.

However, Yu Tang felt that Pei Yan was too unromantic.

But...it's quite interesting.

She couldn't help laughing again.

Pei Yan looked at her pair of eyes with distinct black and white that were curved like a bright moon, and his heart softened for a moment. He thought that as long as she was happy, it was enough, and he would not bother with her about some things for the time being.

Isn’t there a saying that goes “teach your son in the hall and teach your wife by your bed”?

Yu Tang is not his wife yet. He will teach her slowly after she becomes his wife.

Pei Yan's heart also began to soar, and his expression naturally became amiable and amiable.

Yu Tang cursed him in her heart, saying "You have a bad temper". Thinking about his character, she guessed that she would have to coax him like this for the rest of his life. Her voice softened as she said, "Thank you for today. I know that you are usually indifferent, but you treat my father so well because of me. I don't know if you like cherries, but cherries are the most delicious fruit we have at home. How about you tell me what you like to eat? I will buy it for you next time. Or do you want any other reward? I will prepare it for you next time."

Her lips were rosy, and as they opened and closed, the sound was clear and pleasant, reminding people of the singing of larks and the melodious singing of orioles. She was so adorable!

Pei Yan couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said, "Then can you sing a song for me next time?"

Yu Tang was stunned.

Singing, isn't that the actor's job?

Did Pei Yan let her do the work of an actor?

Yu Tang felt uncomfortable for a moment, but she soon felt relieved.

If Pei Yan wanted to humiliate her, he would not have married her with all the formalities. He did this perhaps just because he wanted to hear her sing, just like when she was little and her memory was still confused, she vaguely saw her father helping her mother draw eyebrows.

It seemed that later on, I accidentally saw her father kissing her mother.

This may be the different preferences between husband and wife in private.

Thinking of this, the image of her parents in her mind suddenly turned into her and Pei Yan...

She blushed immediately and didn't dare to look at Pei Yan any more.

As for Pei Yan, he realized he had said something wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

Yu Tang was the person he was going to marry in a formal ceremony, how could he say such frivolous words?

He secretly regretted it and looked at Yu Tang again, whose face had become so red that it looked like it was dripping with blood.

Pei Yan felt a little panicked.

What should he do?

Apologize or...Apologize?!

Pei Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know how to start talking, but Yu Tang's weak voice came to his ears: "Okay!"

"What?!" Pei Yan's eyes widened.

Yu Tang mustered up the courage to raise his head, looked at Pei Yan with bright eyes, said "OK" loudly again, and said, "I'll sing it for you next time I see you." After saying that, he could hardly suppress the shyness in his heart, and turned around and ran away.

Pei Yan stared at Yu Tang's back, and it took him a while to come back to his senses and understand what Yu Tang had said.

The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey.

No wonder everyone wants to get married. It’s really not bad to have a wife. Such unreasonable requests are agreed to.

Then next time we meet, I can listen to Yu Tang singing.

Should he play the flute or the xiao, or the pipa or the qin?

It seems that flute and pipa are more suitable.

After all, it's just a private pleasure, there's no need to be so serious.

Pei Yan was thinking about it until he entered the gate of Pei Mansion with one foot high and one foot low. Then he remembered that he had not told Yu Tang what he wanted to say.

He couldn't help but frown.

I don’t know how cold it looks in other people’s eyes.

So much so that the servants were discussing in private why he was unhappy today.

Pei Laoan naturally got the news quickly. She thought for a moment, called her son over, and asked him bluntly, "Did you go to the Yu family today? I heard that it was Master Yu who called you there?"

Pei Yan's brows furrowed even deeper, feeling that there were too many noisy people in the house and that Hu Xing, the chief steward, was not doing his job properly.

"Yes!" He casually picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and nodded to his mother.

Pei Laoan asked, "Did their family say anything?"

"No!" Pei Yan hated people asking about his affairs, so he was reluctant to answer such questions. "Why do you ask about this?"

Pei Laoan sighed, "I saw that you were not very happy after returning from the Yu family, so I asked you."

Pei Yan's brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character and asked curiously, "I'm not happy?"

Pei Laoan looked at him, stroked his forehead and smiled, saying, "Alright! I understand. Go back! I won't ask you any more questions."

Why did she believe the nonsense of those servants?

In their hearts, when has Pei Yan ever been happy?

Pei Yan did not leave, but he did not continue talking about this matter. Instead, he said, "Mom, I have something to discuss with you?"

Pei Laoan smiled and said, "You say!"

Pei Yan hesitated for a while and said, "I haven't decided on this yet." In fact, he hadn't told Yu Tang yet. "That's what I thought." If Yu Tang disagreed, there was a way out. "Miss Yu knows only a little about our family. I want you to give her some pointers before she marries in, so that she won't be unfamiliar with our family's ways after she marries in."
