"What are your plans?" Yu Tang asked Pei Yan.

Otherwise, why did they send Lin to Ku'an Temple when everyone else was at a loss?

Pei Yan was not prepared to hide the truth from Yu Tang. He said, "I want Li Jun to take over his mother's affairs."

Yu Tang was puzzled.

Pei Yan said: "If Lin was taken care of by the Li family, it can be said that it is what the Li family should do. But now, Lin is in Ku'an Temple. As a son, if Li Jun allows Lin to live in Ku'an Temple, how will others judge him? He must take Lin to his side to serve. Even if he can't take Lin to his side to serve, he has to come back, erect a monument for Li Duan, and settle Lin's future life. This is very important to Li Jun. It is a big burden. I don't think he can take care of Lin himself. The best way is to ask the Li family to take care of Lin. But the Li family has separated from their Li family. After Li Duan's death, many people said that this was Li Yi's retribution. The people of the Li family may not be willing to share Li Jun's burden. Even if Li Jun entrusts Lin to the Li family, the Li family will not be able to take care of Lin wholeheartedly. "

This way, it can be considered as revenge for Wei Xiaoshan. Yu Tang should be very happy, right?

There was a look of dejection on Yu Tang's face.

When will the cycle of revenge end?

I hope their feud will end here!

Yu Tang said with some emotion: "People should not do bad things. If they do bad things, even if they don't take revenge on themselves for the time being, they will take revenge on others."

Pei Yan believed in Taoism, so he only believed in this life. However, the words and deeds of the elders do affect the behavioral standards of the younger generations, and Li Yi did bring disaster to the family. The most important thing is that Yu Tang was not happy about this incident.

He thought about it again and again, and said in a deep voice: "Should we go and tell the Wei family? Although Li Duan's death was an unprovoked disaster, it can be regarded as revenge for the second son of the Wei family..."

Yu Tang did not hide the fact from him and told Pei Yan that he had gone to pay tribute to Wei Xiaoshan with mixed feelings. He said, "The Wei family is not very clear about the whole story. Some things are just for us to know."

Pei Yan was immediately healed by Yu Tang's honesty and the word "we".

He smiled and said, "Well, let's go to Mom's place for dinner tonight. I heard that the Qian family sent some seafood to Mom, so let's go and have a meal."

The Pei family has no shortage of these things. Pei Yan is doing this just to create more opportunities for Yu Tang and Pei Laoan to come into contact.

Yu Tang understood his intention and went to Mr. Pei's place. He not only complimented the Qian family, but also followed Mr. Pei's topic to talk about Mrs. Shi's craftsmanship.

Seeing that Yu Tang also liked Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Pei decided to wait until the next spring to invite Mrs. Shi to the house to give massages to these old ladies who were not very active.

Yu Tang can also benefit from it.

Pei Yan naturally raised his hands in agreement.

The two of them happily had a meal with Master Pei, and the younger generations began to come over to greet Master Pei. Seeing Pei Yan and Yu Tang here, the younger generations talked about the Lantern Festival lanterns. The fifth lady was the most enthusiastic, saying, "Third uncle, my mother said that we will set off after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When we go to Shandong, we don't know when we can come back. This may be the last Lantern Festival I spend in the Pei family in the past few years. Do you agree? We should hold a lantern festival during the Lantern Festival this year."

Pei Yan liked to hear this.

This year is Yu Tang's first year married into the family, so we should celebrate it properly.

He smiled and said, "Then I will ask the steward to ask Lord Wu what his plan is."

If you're going to do it, make it bigger.

The Pei family might as well sponsor a Lantern Festival lantern show in the government office.

Lord Wu just took office this year.

He will definitely like it too.

Pei Yan secretly made up his mind.

Miss Pei Wu jumped with excitement, hugged Yu Tang's arm and said in a somewhat disrespectful manner: "Third aunt is still the best. After Third aunt married into the family, Third uncle is easier to talk to. In the future, we will ask Third aunt to speak for us more often."

Yu Tang blushed and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with me? It was clearly you who asked your third uncle for help!"

The Fifth Miss said, "It's no use begging you. Before you got married, Third Uncle rejected me countless times, but this time he agreed so readily."

Everyone thought of Pei Yan's reputation of being "hard to talk to" and burst into laughter.

Old Mr. Pei is old, and he likes to see the house full of bustle and activity. He was afraid that Pei Yan didn't take this matter seriously, so he asked Aunt Chen to urge Pei Yan the next day and ask him who he had sent to take care of the matter.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Chen came back and told Mr. Pei: "Mr. Zhang's staff came, and the Third Elder was receiving the old gentleman. I didn't dare to disturb them, so I came back first. But I told Ah Ming that he would tell the Third Elder as soon as he had some free time. The Third Elder will definitely not forget this."

Mr. Pei frowned, tapped lightly on the tea table at hand, and said nothing for a long while.

Aunt Chen stood by with her hands down, not daring to say a word, but Elder Pei suddenly asked, "What is the Third Madam doing?"

Yu Tang went back to her parents' home a few days ago, so she should have stayed at home at this time.

Aunt Chen said, "The third wife went to Ku'an Temple."

Pei Laoan was slightly stunned.

Aunt Chen said, "The Ku'an Temple sent a letter saying that the candle business is very good this year. It's the end of the year now, isn't it? They calculated the accounts and asked the third wife to go and check the accounts. The third wife thought it was a good thing, so she discussed it with the second wife and brought the three young ladies with her. She also borrowed an accountant from the third master to accompany them. They must have gone there to check the accounts."

This is the right attitude.

Mr. Pei nodded, stood up without warning, and said to Aunt Chen: "Let's go and see the Third Elder."

Aunt Chen was already accustomed to Mr. Pei's sudden arrival, so she calmly gave orders, lifted her sedan chair and came over to accompany Mr. Pei to the garden.

Pei Yan was very surprised at his mother's arrival.

His mother was not someone who liked to meddle in the affairs of the outer courtyard.

He sent away Zhang Ying's staff and hurried to welcome his mother.

Mr. Pei didn't beat around the bush with Pei Yan and said directly: "Why did the Zhang family come to you? What are your plans?"

Pei Yan didn't want to hide it from his mother, so he said, "My master wants me to go to Beijing to help Brother Zhou gain a foothold, and to help Brother Zhang. After the New Year, my master plans to promote Brother Zhang to be the Minister of Works."

The gap between the fourth rank and the third rank is like a huge gap in heaven. It is not easy to cross it, especially for a descendant of an aristocratic family who relies on the influence of his ancestors like the second elder of the Zhang family.

Pei Laoan frowned and asked, "So are you planning to go to the capital?"

"I'm not going." Pei Yan said, "Don't worry, I promised my father."

His promise not only did not make Old Lady Pei feel relieved, but her eyes were filled with sadness. She was silent for a long time, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally said nothing and helped Aunt Chen walk away.

Pei Yan stared at his mother's back and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Zhang Ying's staff spent the New Year in Lin'an. At that time, even if he wanted to go back, he couldn't, because the ship had stopped and the inn was closed.

As usual, Pei Yan accompanied Yu Tang back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and went to Yu Bo's place on the third day of the Chinese New Year.

Wang welcomed Yu Tang into the house with a face full of joy, and then she and Chen went to Xiang's place. As soon as the maid served them tea, she couldn't wait to tell Yu Tang and her daughter: "We are going to have another baby in our family!"

In other words, Xiang was pregnant.

Yu Tang and his mother were a little surprised, but they still congratulated Wang with joy.

Wang sighed, "I didn't expect it to happen so soon. But this is a good thing." Then she asked Yu Tang, "What about you? Do you have any news?"

Yu Tang blushed and shook his head.

Chen looked gloomy.

Wang said hurriedly, "There's no rush for this. Atang is still young anyway, and she'll be a mother in a few years. Look at your sister-in-law, she was almost 20 when she got married, and she had and carried a baby smoothly, which shows that girls shouldn't get married so early."

"Yes!" These words comforted Chen. Her expression immediately changed from gloomy to bright and she nodded repeatedly.

Yu Tang was too embarrassed to speak.

Pei Yan didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and even said something like "It's good not to have children, we can live a good life for a few years", and said that he would take her to Mount Tai in the spring. He said that Mount Tai was the place where the emperor meditated, and it would be worthless if you didn't go there once in your life.

I don’t know whether it’s true or false?

Yu Tang was muttering in his heart, while Pei Yan was drunk by Yu Bo, Yu Wen and Mr. Wu, who was invited by Yu Bo to accompany the new aunt. On the way back, he not only squeezed into the same sedan with Yu Tang, but also was restless after returning. He held Yu Tang's hand and would not let her make him sobering soup. He insisted that Yu Tang accompany him and would not leave for a while, like a child.

Yu Tang felt extremely distressed. He ignored the anxious looks from Qing Yuan and the others and stayed with him for most of the night. Even Pei Laoan was shocked.

She couldn't stop laughing.

Aunt Chen was a little worried and asked, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

Pei Laoan said, "I don't care about their business! If he wants to show off in front of his father-in-law and uncle, he shouldn't be afraid of losing face. Fortunately, he is smart and knows not to lose face in the Yu family, so he didn't make a fuss when he came back."

Aunt Chen could only smile along.

Mr. Pei felt sorry for his son, so he asked someone to send some ginseng to Pei Yan, saying that it was to replenish his energy.

Pei Yan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he took the opportunity to make fun of Yu Tang: "I got drunk twice in my life, both times at my father-in-law's place, you have to compensate me!"

Yu Tang was surprised and asked, "When did you get drunk again?"

Pei Yan said confidently, "It was that time when my father-in-law called me over and asked me if I really wanted to marry you. You actually don't remember it."

He looked very shocked and disappointed, and said, "Ah Tang, it turns out that you didn't care about my affairs at all. You have to make up for it. I have a headache and I am going to stay in bed all day today. You have to stay with me and read to me."

In the end, he just wanted her to be with him.

Yu Tang has never met anyone more clingy than Pei Yan.

Even among children, there are few like him.

But she inexplicably liked Pei Yan's sticking to her like this.

It seems like she is very important and nothing can be done without her.

As a result, until the tenth day of the first lunar month, Yu Tang was like Pei Yan's pendant, and he took her wherever he went.

Yu Tang suspected that he was not drunk at all, but wanted to take advantage of this drunkenness to keep her by his side.
