There is something hidden in this statement!

Mrs. Pei Laoan was not an ordinary woman. Upon hearing this, she immediately sat up straight with alertness and said, "What do you mean by this? Oh! It turns out that this person has not even married into my family yet, but he is already eyeing the housekeeper position in my hands!

Pei Yan didn't think so much at first, but he was always thinking about Yu Tang in his heart and hoped to see her immediately when he wanted to. After hearing what his mother said, he also became alert.

If anyone thought that Yu Tang wanted to fight for the power of the housekeeper... Of course, if she married him, this power should have been hers, but he couldn't let others misunderstand that she was coming for this.

Pei Yan laughed and patted his mother's shoulders, saying, "Only you treat the housekeeper's power as a valuable commodity, I don't care about it. Isn't it that there are too many things to do at home, and my second sister-in-law is busy with things in the capital. Do I want you to have some free time?"

Mrs. Pei didn't believe a word of what her youngest son said, but she felt that he was not lying and he really didn't care much about the management power of the family.

Maybe he still wants to be with Yu Shipi?

Pei Laoan rolled his eyes at his son and said, "After this Mid-Autumn Festival, we will have to stay at our house for the rest of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"Really?" Pei Yan asked in surprise, "So you want to marry a wife to celebrate the New Year, and set our wedding date before the Spring Festival?"

After walking around in circles for a long time, it turns out that he was waiting for her here!

Pei Laoan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the account book and slapped Pei Yan hard several times. Then he said, "Then tell me, which day is a good day? I will follow your wishes and let you marry a wife on that day."

Pei Yan didn't believe that his mother was such an easy person to talk to, but he was really itching inside, and after thinking quickly, he said, "I think October is not bad. After my marriage is settled, I may have to go to the capital. You also know that something happened in my teacher's family, and Brother Zijin has been left in the capital by my teacher. It is reasonable for me to go there, comfort him, and give Brother Zijin some advice or something."

He really wanted to go to pay his respects to Zhang Shao.

Thinking back to when he was in the capital, Zhang Shao took good care of him.

If he had not been in mourning and if Old Master Pei had not given his last words, he would have died long ago and would not have come to ask Old Master Pei for help.

Mrs. Pei was unsure whether Pei Yan wanted to go to Beijing or get married. Originally, she thought that Yu Tang should marry decently, preferably in the early spring of next year, but now after hearing what her son said, she wanted Yu Tang to tie Pei Yan's heart down, and thought it would be better to get married earlier.

"Then I'll let your second brother talk to Master Wu." She pondered, "If you get married sooner, I can rest assured sooner. Your nephews can also start talking about marriage sooner."

Preparations for Pei Fei's wedding are also about to begin.

Pei Yan achieved his goal and talked with Pei Laoan for a long time with a smile.

Pei Xuan got the news and thought it was a good idea.

Pei Yan and the others can no longer control him, so let's see if they can use Wenrou Township to tie him up.

He went to discuss it with Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu went to Ningbo and had not returned yet. When he came back from Ningbo, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed.

He immediately went to see Pei Xuan. When he heard that Pei Xuan was looking for him for Yu Tang's marriage, he high-fived and said, "Don't worry about the dowry. We have prepared everything. Even if there is a moment of negligence, there is still a full month and a full year. The Yu family will never let Miss Yu down."

Others may not know, but Pei Xuan knows that the Yu family invested in a ship owned by Jiang Chao of Suzhou, and Jiang Chao brought the ship back safely, so the Yu family must have made a huge fortune.

He smiled and gave Mr. Wu a few dates that he had discussed with Mr. Pei, and asked him to take them to the Yu family, who would choose a date.

Mr. Wu was very happy.

Pei Xuan simply made it clear about Yu Tang's dowry: "The Yu family only needs to prepare some daily necessities for Miss Yu. The farm and shop will be provided half by Xia Guang and half by Lao An. Don't worry, they will not treat Miss Yu unfairly."

Grandpa Wu was very surprised, and then he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. When he replied to Yu Wen, he said, "After all, this is a family of farmers and scholars. When the second grandpa said this, he didn't feel forced at all. This kind of upbringing and this kind of heart is the first time I have seen. Your Atang really found a good family. Let her live well in that family. Even if Old An gives something to the second grandpa's family in the future, it should be treated equally, and you must not have any grudges."

Yu Wen didn't expect this either.

Daily necessities can be bought with silver, but the fields and shops that come as a dowry cannot be bought with money.

He was also very emotional and went back to tell Chen about it.

Chen, however, had another worry and said, "Will others be able to tell it was given by the Pei family? Then it is better not to have it!"

Yu Wen showed the list to Chen and said, "Otherwise, why would Master Wu praise us so much? Look at this list. The farm is in Huzhou, and the shop is in Tianjin. Others would think that we can't afford the farm and shop nearby, so we chose to go far away to save face for the young lady. They wouldn't think that these were given by the Pei family."

Chen nodded repeatedly, expressing her gratitude to Mr. Pei Laoan. She thought highly of her son-in-law Pei Yan and said repeatedly, "Put yourself in his shoes. I will also treat Mr. Pei Laoan as an elder and show my respect to him in the future."

Although she and Pei Laoan became a generation because of marriage, Pei Laoan was older than her and was so good to Yu Tang, she didn't mind respecting Pei Laoan in everything.

Yu Wen did not think much about this and discussed Yu Tang's marriage with Chen: "In order to prevent others from thinking that our Atang's dowry is unreasonable, I plan to publicize the fact that our family has made a fortune in Suzhou."

Chen strongly agrees.

Within a few days, everyone in Lin'an knew that the Yu and Wu families had made a fortune.

At one point, the number of people who came to propose marriage to Yu Tang was almost overwhelming.

Pei Yan took this opportunity to send a maid to Yu Tang, saying that she was a maid for Yu Tang's dowry.

The maid was called Xing'er. She was two years younger than Yutang, but she had peach eyes and almond cheeks. Not only was she very pretty, she also had a bit of innocence and romance, which made her very pleasing to the eye.

Chen was very nervous and whispered to Mrs. Chen: "Could it be that the third elder picked the concubine himself?"

After getting married, Yu Tang would always be inconvenient, and at this time, she would need a maidservant. In order to control the backyard, capable families would usually bring two beautiful maids as dowry, and let the aunt choose them as maidservants. Of course, there were also some aunts who did not like them, and chose not from the dowry maids, but from the people they served in the past.

The Yu family is a simple family, and Chen had never thought about such a thing before.

This time I couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Mrs. Chen's heart was tense, and she also thought of this matter, but she could only comfort Mrs. Chen: "It shouldn't be! If it is true, the third master is thoughtful and sent this maid to the young lady."

The two of them took the maid to see Yu Tang nervously.

Yu Tang was delighted when she saw the maid. She pointed at Xing Er happily and said, "You, you are..."

She couldn't remember what the girl's name was before, she only knew that she was called Bai Xing after she entered the Li Mansion.

Xing Er knelt down to greet Yu Tang with some confusion, and introduced herself, saying, "Thanks to the Third Elder for saving us."

After asking carefully, Yu Tang found out that she was the girl from the inn who was asked to move out because she contracted a disease while staying with her relatives.

In her previous life, Bai Xing went to the Li family only after the Chinese New Year.

During this period, she didn't know what happened to Bai Xing in the past.

Yu Tang was very sad. She kept the two of them and asked them, "What was your original name?"

Bai Xing said a little embarrassedly: "Call me Zhaodi."

Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "Who gave you the name Xing'er?"

Bai Xing turned her face away and whispered, "It was me."

This made Yu Tang laugh again.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen also laughed, and their anxious hearts finally settled down.

Yu Tang discussed with her: "What do you think of the name Bai Xing?"

Xing Er looked embarrassed, and it was obvious that she didn't like this name very much.

Yu Tang followed her and said with a smile, "Okay, you will be called Xing'er from now on."

Xing Er kowtowed to Yu Tang happily, performed great honors, and stayed in Yu's house.

Chen gradually realized why Pei Yan gave Xing'er to Yu Tang as a dowry maid.

This little girl seems to be smiling all day long, but she is very attentive when doing things. Not only is she nimble, but she also has a very good memory. If you casually tell her a number, she will remember it a few days later. When the Yu family was helping Yu Tang pack her dowry, she remembered exactly where each thing was put and who put it there. She was a great help.

This time, Chen was completely relieved and she liked Pei Yan more and more. Even when Pei Yan came to play with Yu Tang, she turned a blind eye and ignored them.

On the tenth day of September, the Pei family held a ceremony to remove the mourning clothes for Old Lady Pei.

After everyone offered sacrifices to the Pei family's ancestors and Old Master Pei, Old Master Yi presided over a ceremony in which everyone in the Pei family's patriarchal branch took off their linen clothes and put on plain and elegant autumn clothes.

Old Master Yi sighed, and, supported by Pei Yan and Pei Xuan, went to the hall of the clan house.

On the way, he asked Pei Yan: "Have you decided on your marriage? If it has, it would be better to get married sooner so that your second brother can leave for the capital sooner."

He was also very concerned about Pei Yan's marriage and had thought about becoming a matchmaker for Pei Yan, but was politely rejected by Pei Laoan, who knew that Pei Laoan already had a candidate.

Pei Yan spoke generously about his marriage with the Yu family.

Old Master Yi was quite surprised, but after thinking carefully, she thought that maybe Mr. Pei valued the girl's character more, and if their Pei family married into some wealthy family, it would only be the icing on the cake.

When he found out that the wedding date was set for October 6th, he was surprised again.

"Okay." Old Lady Yi was relieved and said with a smile, "Our family is going to hold a proper wedding." She also asked Pei Yan, "Should we host a banquet now? Have you started writing the invitations? If not, I'll write them for you."

Old Master Yi was a famous calligrapher in Jiangnan. Some people would collect the invitations he wrote personally.

This can also add color to Pei Yan's marriage.

Brothers Pei Yan and Pei Xuan thanked them repeatedly.
