Yu Tang didn't know what Gu Xi was thinking, nor did he want to know what she was thinking.

She is extremely satisfied with her current life.

Everyone in the family was safe and sound, and she was different from her previous life. Not only did she marry the man of her dreams, but she also lived a happy life. She learned a lot of new things and gained a lot of knowledge from Pei Yan.

This is the best day.

What did Gu Xi want? It was no longer within her scope of concern or attention.

Instead of spending this time, she might as well think about how to make something delicious for Pei Yan!

With a smile on his face, Yu Tang discussed with Xu Xuan what clothes and jewelry to wear when visiting Zhang's house. He felt that she and he had the same idea.

A jacket made of Hang silk with a royal blue pigment surface and pink four-petal pattern on a yellow background, Hetian jade beads and South pearl earrings, it is both elegant and graceful.

Xu Xuan chewed an apple and said in a somewhat vague voice, "Actually, I think your jacket with silver-white embroidered flowers looks better, but our old lady is very particular about these things. I'm afraid she will think your jacket is too plain and make things complicated."

Yu Tang took into consideration that the eldest son of the Zhang family had passed away not long ago, and was afraid that some of the old people might be picky and undecided, so he asked Xu Xuan to help with the review.

She took the opportunity to ask about Mrs. Zhang's preferences.

Xu Xuan sighed and said, "This old lady in our family has really good taste. She was quite famous in the past, and people who wanted to marry her were endless. She personally chose Mr. Zhang. The family didn't think much of him at first, but they never thought that Mr. Zhang would become very successful soon. So she has never suffered any hardships in her life, and her temper is particularly bad." At this point, she winked at Yu Tang and said bluntly, "Let me tell you something in private."

Yu Tang knew her personality and immediately sent everyone around her away.

Xu Xuan then whispered to her: "Since I was a child, I heard others say that she was lucky, but my grandmother said that no one is perfect. If she is lucky now, there must be bad things waiting for her in the future. This old lady in our family is enjoying the good fortune in the future." After saying this, she raised her eyebrows at Yu Tang.

The implication was that Mrs. Zhang was fulfilling her grandmother's words.

Yu Tang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This seemed to be her fate.

It was extremely bad, but it was reborn.

After her rebirth, it seemed as if God was compensating her. Although she encountered many things, she was not seriously injured.

Yu Tang's heart moved slightly, and he nodded and said, "You are right. Let's go to the temple together someday!" As he said that, he looked down and saw Xu Xuan's big belly, and quickly changed his words and said, "You should stay at home. When you are out of confinement, we can make an appointment again."

Xu Xuan didn't take her words seriously and said, "When I am out of confinement, I can go to the temple to burn incense. That will probably be next autumn. It's hard to say whether you will still be in the capital." At this point, she asked Yu Tang about the purpose of coming to the capital, "I don't know how long you can stay?"

Yu Tang was just accompanying Pei Yan. With a red face, he smiled and said, "It was Elder Zhang who asked the Third Elder to come here. When he will go back depends on what Elder Zhang wants him to do."

Xu Xuan also noticed that Yu Tang had a blind trust in Pei Yan. She had no objection to anything Pei Yan did. Unlike her, she had to know everything Yin Mingyuan did.

There are thousands of kinds of couples, and she can't say that she is the best and Yu Tang is not good.

"How about we go to Tanzhe Temple?" Xu Xuan suggested, "The road there is relatively flat, the accommodation is good, and the food is not bad. The scenery is also great at this time. After this trip, I will stay at home and prepare for the birth." When she said this, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Yu Tang asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Xuan thought for a moment, then frankly told Yu Tang, "I'm actually a little scared. I heard that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell... but everyone is staring at my belly. Madam Li even had someone send me a lucky charm yesterday, saying that she went to Hongluo Temple to ask for it specifically for me."

Hongluo Temple is located in the suburbs, and it takes most of the day to go there even by horse carriage.

Maybe Xu Xuan didn't just want to go out and have fun.

If it can give you peace of mind, it may not be a bad thing.

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Then let's go to Tanzhe Temple. I heard that the fortune sticks there are also very effective."

Xu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief for no apparent reason and said with a smile, "Okay! We'll make an appointment with Lihua then. She's not having a good time either. The death of Zhang's eldest cousin has nothing to do with her. But her grandmother and her mother always like to talk to her about these things, and she can't just ignore them, which makes her feel very distressed."

Yu Tang had a very good impression of Miss Zhang and said "Oh" in confusion.

Xu Xuan told her, "The main problem is that the only male child in the eldest branch is the second among his cousins. Not only is the eldest grandson from the second branch, but the Zhang family is now headed by the second elder of the Zhang family. Lihua's mother has no intention of replacing the eldest branch, but she can't help but worry about the elders in the family, and she is also full of grievances."

Yu Tang didn't know what to say.

Xu Xuan said with emotion: "So Lihua's marriage is very important. If she marries too high, she is afraid that the other two families will be dissatisfied. If she marries too low, her mother will not be satisfied. Just yesterday, her mother went to my parents' house and talked to my mother for a long time. My mother asked me to go to their house less often during this period of time, so as not to be dragged by the old lady to talk about family matters. If I don't agree well, I will be blamed."

Yu Tang was stunned and asked, "Then you will accompany me to visit Zhang's house?"

"Isn't it your first time to go out as a guest?" Xu Xuan said with a sly smile, "This old lady in our family is very proud and won't talk about family matters in front of you, an outsider who she meets for the first time."

But this time, Xu Xuan guessed wrong.

Mrs. Zhang not only talked to Yu Tang about family matters, but also told him something: "The child will be eight years old next year, and Xiaguang has grown up with him. I was thinking that since Xiaguang has many friends, could you recommend a teacher to help him learn from him?"

Yu Tang was shocked, thinking that with a family like the Zhang family, it was impossible for them to wait until Zhang Shao's son was eight years old without enlightenment.

Old Madam Zhang burst into tears: "Originally, it was his mother who taught him. His father had agreed before that he would hire a teacher for him when he was seven years old. Who knew... this child would not have this fate. Xiaguang was like a brother to his father in the past, and he was not like the two uncles of the child, who did not like socializing. Except for the people in his own government office, he hardly knew anyone. All the scholars in Jiangnan knew Xiaguang. I didn't ask Xiaguang to go and invite others, I just wanted you to pass on a message to see who is suitable and recommend them to our old lady, and our old lady will go and invite the person."

Yu Tang felt that this old lady Zhang was a bit of a rip-off.

Let her do this the first time she meets you.

You know, whether it is the students who don’t learn well or the teachers who don’t teach well, the people who make the recommendations also have a great responsibility.

If Zhang Shao's son did not do well in his studies, would Pei Yan continue to recommend teachers to him and ensure that he passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi?

Thinking of this, Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat and he looked up at Old Madam Zhang.

Old Madam Zhang was looking at her with sharp eyes.

Yu Tang's heart suddenly turned cold, and she smiled and said, "I don't know much about our third master's affairs. At home, whatever he says is the truth. Since you asked me to give him a message, I will go and give him a message." After saying that, she acted as if she was very worried that Pei Yan would blame her.

Xu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes showed admiration and she pursed her lips as she looked at Yu Tang.

Madam Zhang was very surprised, but she had experienced a lot, and when she wanted to hide her emotions, it was usually not visible.

She didn't expect Yu Tang to be so meticulous in his work.

She chuckled a few times and thanked Yu Tang. When she was about to go to the back hall to listen to the opera, she went to the warm room next door to change her clothes and couldn't help but say to Mrs. Zhang San: "I originally just wanted to test her, but now it seems that this girl is not only beautiful, but also has something on her mind. It's really rare. It's a pity that our eldest and second grandsons are not of the same age as their family, otherwise, it might be better to marry Xia Guang into the family."

Mrs. Zhang San took these words to heart, thinking that she has two sons, and the youngest one is only three years old this year!

She laughed loudly, and helped Madam Zhang to the waterside pavilion to listen to the opera. She was more enthusiastic towards Yu Tang than before, and even walked around with Yu Tang in a formal manner. This made Yu Tang very confused, and he asked Pei Yan: "Does she also have something to ask you?"

Zhang Ying originally wanted Pei Yan to persuade Fei Zhiwen, but Fei Zhiwen had already made up his mind and planned to retire and return home once the Zhang family was settled. Zhang Ying had no choice but to persuade Pei Yan to become an official, and even cited his elder brother Pei You as an example: "He was also a prince, so how could he become an official in the court? It shows that nothing is certain. It's a pity that you only stay in Lin'an."

Pei Yan once again clearly rejected Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying had no choice but to do the next best thing and asked Pei Yan to help Zhou Zijin get through to Master Shen and find a way to transfer him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to make up for Sun Gao's vacancy: "The Peng family is definitely not willing to give up the Ministry of Justice, but Among us, only Zhou Zijin has such qualifications.”

Zhou Zijin once worked as an official, but he retired midway to take care of his old father. He was known as a "filial" official in the literati circle, and if he could use this reputation well, it could be a springboard for Zhou Zijin. But Zhou Zijin was too arrogant and was unwilling to use this reputation, let alone to make his own plans.

Zhang Ying had no choice but to ask Pei Yan to take action.

Pei Yan felt that Young Master Zhang must have heard something, which is why he let the Third Madam of the Zhang family intentionally approach Yu Tang. However, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this. A wife is honored by her husband. He has this ability, so others will pay special attention to Yu Tang. Why should Yu Tang care so much? Isn't it better to just enjoy the flattery of others?

He smiled and said, "Isn't it because you are so special?"

Yu Tang didn't believe it. She said, "I have visited several families in the past few days and found that they are all very capable and calm. They know clearly what the relationship is between each family and what attitude should be adopted. Don't flatter me. I still know my own business."

Speaking of this, Pei Yan became a little unhappy and said, "Then why don't you stay in the temple with Yin Mingyuan's wife for several days!"

He didn't like Yu Tang leaving home, didn't like not seeing Yu Tang when he returned home, and didn't like working alone in the study.
