This bastard only knows how to bully her!

Yu Tang was complaining in his heart, but he didn't realize that the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

Today is the day of recognizing relatives, so she certainly can't really abandon Pei Yan.

She ran a few steps and then slowly stopped.

Pei Yan watched and laughed secretly, then quickly caught up with her, deciding not to tease her anymore and telling her about his plan: "We will go to the mother's place to worship our ancestors and recognize our relatives, and have lunch at the mother's place at noon. After we come back, you decide if you want to rest for a while. If you want to rest for a while, we will take a nap first. If you still have energy and don't want to rest, you can meet the people serving us. We will probably have to have lunch at the mother's place in the evening. When we come back in the evening, we will prepare the things for tomorrow's visit to the parents' home, and we will get up early tomorrow and go to Qingzhu Lane together. What do you think?"

It was a completely negotiating tone.

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan in surprise.

Pei Yan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Isn't this a matter between the two of us? Of course it has to be decided by both of us together?"

This is how his father and his mother handled household affairs when he was alive.

Yu Tang felt a little happy.

She nodded with a smile.

Pei Yan thought of how shy she was, and was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when she met people at home, so he comforted her: "Don't care too much about the people at home, you will eventually live with me and Mom. As for other people, if you think you can get along with them, spend more time with them, and if you don't get along with them, just consider them for the sake of face. As for people outside the Pei family, you don't have to care about them. You are now the head wife of the Pei family, representing the Pei family. If they don't respect you, they don't respect the Pei family. If you meet such a fool, you can just ignore them. If there is anything, let them come to me."

At the end of his words, his voice was a little indifferent, which reminded Yu Tang of the first time he met Pei Yan, who was also so cold and arrogant.

This is what Pei Yan really thinks, right?

Yu Tang guessed and couldn't help feeling longing.

For a person to be able to live according to his own preferences, he must have real ability!

She couldn't help but pull Pei Yan's fingers and hummed softly.

Pei Yan's fingers gave him a warm and delicate touch, which suddenly made him feel satisfied as if his heart was filled.

Or maybe it’s because they are newly married?

He thought.

Before getting married, he was afraid that he hated the relationship between husband and wife, but after getting married, he felt like he had got a fun toy and couldn't let it go.

It’s just that the paintings are so ugly.

If given the chance, he thought he could draw one himself.

Just follow Atang's look.

He looked towards Yu Tang.

Yu Tang smiled sweetly at him as if she knew nothing about the world.

That look is as innocent as it can be.

Pei Yan also smiled.

Suddenly I felt that my painting skills were not very good.

When he was alive, of course he was the only one who could appreciate it. If he were no longer around, or if any mishap happened and the news got out... He felt very unhappy just from thinking about it.

Let’s think of other solutions!

Pei Yan looked solemn and dignified, but his heart was in a mess. He and Yu Tang went to where Pei Laoan lived.

The Pei family's ancestral hall is not far from here.

They first went to greet Mr. Pei.

Although Mrs. Pei Laoan is a widow, today is Pei Yan's wedding day. For the first time, she wore a red, thin, full-sleeved gown with gold on it and a forehead scarf embellished with turquoise. She looked magnificent and graceful.

She smiled as she looked at the couple in front of her. After they had exchanged greetings, she waved to Yu Tang, took Yu Tang's hand and told Pei Yan: "You are an adult now. In the future, you must be more cautious and remember to take care of your wife and children at home."

Pei Yan responded respectfully one by one.

Pei Laoan asked them if they had breakfast yet. Knowing that they had already eaten, he said, "Go! The auspicious time is almost here. Go and burn some incense for your ancestors first, and then come to me."

The ceremony of recognizing relatives was held at the place where Pei Laoan lived.

The two agreed and went to the Pei family's small ancestral hall not far away.

Old Lady Yi and others were waiting there. They also changed into gorgeous clothes and, led by Old Lady Yi, went to burn incense.

When Pei Laoan returned to his place, all the women and close relatives of the family had already arrived. The yard was filled with people chattering. There were also several children running around in the yard, and their wet nurses or maids were following behind them, giving them instructions with sweat on their foreheads. The scene was like the Chinese New Year.

But in the eyes of the older generation of the Pei family, this is a sign of a large and prosperous family.

Old Lady Yi even pinched his long beard and smiled, "Watch them carefully, don't let them fall."

The manager beside him naturally stood with his hands down and replied "yes".

Everyone was preparing to cross the yard to the hall, but a few children came up fearlessly, holding onto Old Master Yi's legs or Pei Yan's legs, shouting "Third Uncle" or "Third Uncle Grandfather" and giving them red envelopes.

Old Master Yi laughed heartily, picked up one of the children who was hugging his thighs, and kindly said to the other two children who were hugging his thighs: "You hugged the wrong person. Today is your third uncle's wedding, you can't hug your great uncle."

A few children were naively looking at this and that, with big bluish eyes and the pure blue sky, which made people's hearts soften.

Yu Tang quickly glanced at Xing'er who was following behind her.

Xing Er immediately stepped forward and handed over a large stack of red envelopes.

Yu Tang was about to give each of the children a red envelope when he heard the oldest of the children shout, "We have to wear red clothes when we get married. We have to ask for a red envelope from our third uncle who is wearing red clothes."

After hearing this, the other little radishes immediately left behind Old Lady Yi, who was wearing a purple and silver-red robe with five-bat floral patterns, and rushed towards Pei Yan.

The child held by Old Lady Yi was still struggling to get down.

Old Master Yi laughed.

The attendants around him immediately took the child off him.

The child also ran towards Pei Yan with his short legs.

Yu Tang smiled and hurriedly handed over the red envelopes to everyone.

The children were well-educated and came one after another to receive the red envelopes. After receiving them, they said in a baby voice, "Thank you, third aunt" or "Thank you, third uncle's grandmother."

Yu Tang was a kid at home, so being called "aunt" was fine after she got married, but being called "great aunt" was a bit irritating.

She looked at Pei Yan embarrassedly.

Pei Yan was smiling at her.

Yu Tang had no choice but to lower his head and gently touch the child's head.

The children's wet nurses or maids came forward and hugged their little masters.

Old Master Yi led them into the hall.

There was a Luohan bed in the central hall. Mr. Pei sat in the first seat on the right, while the first seat on the left was empty. Several old Ans sat below Mr. Pei, and the other female members of the Pei family sat behind the old Ans according to their seniority. The men were arranged to sit on the left.

Because Old Lady Yi and his friends had led Pei Yan and his wife to the small ancestral hall, the seats on the right near the bottom were all empty. The first wife sat there chatting with a few old Ans, while the second wife instructed the maids to serve tea and snacks and greet the family relatives.

When Yu Tang came in, she raised her eyelids and took a look, a hint of coldness appeared on the corners of her mouth, and then she continued talking to a few old An people as if they didn't see her.

The second wife was very busy and just nodded to Yu Tang.

Yu Tang saw several stretched necks at a glance.

It’s Miss Five and the others.

Yu Tang couldn't help but blush.

They haven't met since she and Pei Yan officially got engaged.

The fifth and fourth young ladies just giggled.

Yu Tang smiled back at them shyly.

They laughed even more happily.

Yu Tang didn't bother to argue with them, so the ceremonial officer began to chime in, and she and Pei Yan were going to serve tea to the elders in the family.

The gift that Pei Laoan gave to Yu Tang was a silver note, but Yu Tang was too embarrassed to open it to see how much it was.

The first wife gave a set of lapis lazuli head ornaments, and the second wife gave a set of amber head ornaments, both of which were of similar value.

The other female members of the Pei family were given a pair of gold hairpins or a pair of gold bracelets. Compared with ordinary families, these were naturally quite valuable, but compared with a Jiangnan family like the Pei family, they were very ordinary.

This made Yu Tang feel relieved.

From today on, these things will be considered as her family's income. Whatever she earns, she will have to pay back to others in the future.

The gift-giving system within the Pei family made her feel less pressured.

The gifts she gave back to the Pei family were always two pairs of shoes and two pairs of socks, and then according to the generation, she would add a headband or a pair of fan covers or something like that.

There were many relatives in the Pei family, and it was very noisy, so the morning passed quickly.

Everyone stayed at Mr. Pei's place for lunch.

The young men of the Pei family brought wine to Pei Yan and shouted, "Third uncle ran away yesterday, so we must make up for it today."

Pei Yan also let go, accepting everyone who came, and even started a fight with a few young men, pouring wine back and forth.

Yu Tang found it interesting, but the Second Wife smiled and told Yu Tang helplessly: "That's how your Second Uncle got drunk. You should be careful too. You still have to go back tomorrow!"

"What should we do?" Yu Tang had no idea.

These are just superficial things, and everyone is taking this opportunity to have some fun. If we just sit there with a straight face and don't respond, it would be a real letdown.

The Second Wife had no other choice but to say, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some hangover soup for Third Uncle. Just remember to feed it to him when the time comes."

Yu Tang nodded gratefully.

The eldest wife glanced at the two of them speechlessly, and looked thoughtfully at her son who was drinking with Pei Chan and others at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan pretended to be drunk again to escape the drinking of several young men, but he was still a little dizzy. When he returned to the bridal chamber, he ordered Yu Tang around, asking him to drink water, eat candy, and wash his face. He would not tolerate anyone else serving him but had to ask Yu Tang to serve him. When serving him, he would hold Yu Tang's hand tightly and would hum whenever Yu Tang showed any intention of pulling his hand away. This made Yu Tang very nervous and he almost went to call a doctor.

Pei Yan said lazily, "Did you invite the old lady doctor you mentioned last time to give you moxibustion in the other hospital? If you think she is honest and dutiful, just keep her at our house. It will be helpful for you to have a headache or fever in the future."

There are quite a few members of the Pei family, and since they all live together, some things will inevitably be known to others, especially things like calling a doctor.

There were only a few doctors in Lin'an City, and even fewer with excellent medical skills. The Pei family was the most prominent family in Lin'an City, and anyone who felt unwell would go to these doctors. Even if they didn't know what disease someone in the family had, they would know it in a couple of days.

Pei Yan didn't want anyone else to know about Yu Tang's affairs.
