Is there something you want to ask of the Pei family?

Yu Tang looked at the second wife, who happened to look at her as well. The two sisters-in-law exchanged glances and spontaneously started playing Tai Chi with the two wives of the Yang family, naturally speaking without leaking a single word.

Fortunately, it was time for the meal soon.

Although Pei Yan did not hold an official position, Pei Xuan was a senior official of the third rank. Thanks to Mrs. Pei's help, Yu Tang also sat at the same table with the wives of the senior officials of the third rank. In this way, he inevitably sat with Madam Qin again.

Madam Qin's face didn't look very good, and her smile towards Yu Tang and the Second Madam seemed a bit forced.

Yu Tang thought about how the Wu family was pestering Mrs. Qin, and suspected that the Wu family wanted to marry Miss Wu to the Qin family.

She couldn't help but sigh twice in her heart.

This Wu family is really ambitious.

However, the Wu family has no say in this matter.

Mrs. Qin took a fancy to Pei Dan and made up her mind to marry Pei Dan as her eldest daughter-in-law, so she was quite friendly when she saw Gu Xi. Seeing that Gu Xi was trying to make friends with those ladies from other families, she simply did her a favor and took her for a walk.

Madam Yang Da became even more jealous and whispered to Madam Yang Er: "See? A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. You are still unwilling, and I am afraid that we can't get along with the Pei family?"

Mrs. Yang bit her lip and said nothing.

Early the next morning, he went to Pei's house in person with Mrs. Yang.

Yu Tang was very surprised when he received the letter.

She thought that no matter what the Yang family did, they would only send a proper nanny to deliver the invitations, but she didn't expect the two mistresses to come in person.

After all, she was Pei Tong's aunt, so Yu Tang asked someone to tell Gu Xi and received the two ladies of the Yang family in the flower hall of his residence.

Mrs. Yang Er changed her silent attitude at the Jiang family's wedding banquet and greeted Yu Tang warmly, inviting her to visit her home when the time comes.

Yu Tang agreed readily and talked to the two of them for a while, then Gu Xi came over.

She stood up and said goodbye, giving her seat to Gu Xi.

However, as soon as she walked out of the flower hall, she ran into Second Madam's personal maid, Jin. Jin respectfully greeted Yu Tang and explained her purpose: "Second Madam asked if we should prepare clothes for visiting Yang's family in four days?"

Is this because he is afraid that she will agree to visit the Yang family?

Yu Tang simply went to the second wife and said, "It's not good for the two Yang family ladies to come here in person and just leave like this. I'm going to send someone over again tomorrow. If you really can't refuse, don't we still have the eldest young lady? They are a family, and they are much easier to talk to than us."

The second wife breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly pulled Yu Tang to the study, showing her a letter she had just written, the ink still wet: "I asked my eldest brother from my mother's family to personally check the character of the eldest son of the Qin family, there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Although Jinling is a bit far from Hangzhou, Yu Tang feels that if it were her, she would also ask Yu Yuan to check it out.

She said, "That's good. It's always good to be careful. When a girl gets married, it's like a second reincarnation. If this reincarnation is not good, there will be no peace for the rest of her life."

The second wife nodded repeatedly and talked to Yu Tang about Lin: "... at that time, who wouldn't say that she married well. But what about now? I heard that the second son of the Li family returned to Lin'an and took Madam Li away. Not only is the journey to the northwest long, but the weather there is also very bad. I don't know if Madam Li can see her husband safely. It's just a pity for Li Jun. First he had such a father, and then he had such an elder brother. This child's life is ruined."

Compared to dying young in the previous life, I don’t know whether it was better to be ignorant and fearless then, or to work hard now!

Yu Tang sighed.

The second wife was also quite sad.

When Yu Tang sent a letter to the Yang family saying that he could not go and asked to make another appointment, the Yang family was adamant and insisted that Yu Tang and the second wife come to their house for a drink. Only then did the two sisters-in-law come to visit again.

This time, Yu Tang and the Second Wife were well prepared and went to visit Xu Xuan's home, bringing the Fifth Miss along.

But I didn't expect to meet Mrs. Qin who was also visiting Xu Xuan's place.

Yu Tang blamed Xu Xuan: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had guests here? It will be the same if we come another day."

Xu Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mrs. Qin came here suddenly, and she came with our aunt."

Only then did Yu Tang realize that Mrs. Li was also there.

Xu Xuan said helplessly: "Now you know why I want to visit you, right? Our old aunt or young aunt, although married, still treats our home as her own, coming and going as she pleases. It's not the first time that they bring guests to our home." At this point, she became suspicious and stared at Yu Tang without missing a beat: "Tell me the truth, does Madam Qin have any request for your family? Otherwise, she wouldn't have come with you."

The aunts of Yin family can treat their parents' home as their own home. Madam Qin is a person who knows the rules and it is impossible for her to follow the aunts of Yin family and make trouble.

Yu Tang thought that Xu Xuan was not an outsider and was well-informed, so he told Xu Xuan that Madam Qin intended to marry into the Pei family.

Xu Xuan laughed loudly and said, "Did you know that the continuation that the Fei family wanted to find for Fei Zhiwen is the cousin of Lord Qin?"

Yu Tang was stunned and pulled Xu Xuan to listen to the gossip.

Xu Xuan told Yu Tang: "Master Qin is today, and his clan uncle has helped a lot. But his clan uncle's children are in trouble, and only one daughter has grown up. Unfortunately, the daughter was not very lucky, and her father and mother died successively. , the several times we talked about getting married, we all met the filial piety period. This back and forth made us grow older. In order to repay the favor, Mr. Qin This clan uncle just wanted to arrange a better marriage for his cousin, but somehow Fei Zhiwen's brother found out about it, and then told the old lady of the Fei family. He even sent someone to see Miss Qin for this matter, but Fei Zhiwen was unwilling to let go, so the matter was delayed. "

At this point, she said with a gloating tone, "If Lord Qin didn't care about his cousin's life or death, he wouldn't have made such a special effort for this matter. If Fei Zhiwen had retired and resigned as he said before, and traveled around the world, Lord Qin would definitely not want his cousin to marry into the Fei family and live a widow. But the problem is, Fei Zhiwen didn't know what nonsense your Pei Yan said. Not only did he not resign, he also went to write poems for the emperor. This is flattering the emperor and trying to compete for the position of the elder! Then he can't treat the wife he married as a decoration. He will definitely not be able to escape this marriage! Tell me, isn't your Pei Xiaguang digging a hole for himself to jump into?"

Yu Tang was still a little confused, and asked, "What does this have to do with our Pei Xiaguang?"

Xu Xuan tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "You! If the young lady of the Qin family really marries Fei Zhiwen, the Qin family will be in the same camp as the Zhang family, and the Pei family will definitely consider the matter of marriage with the Qin family."

This is also because these Jiangnan families come and go, and there are only a few surnames, right?

Yu Tang came to this conclusion during the time he studied family genealogy with Xu Xuan.

The two chatted for a while, and when they went back, the second wife looked thoughtful.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Yu Tang talked about this with Pei Yan in the evening. Pei Yan didn't take it seriously and said, "In the end, it's better to choose the eldest son of the Qin family. Otherwise, there is no need to look for one among the few families in Jiangnan. It doesn't matter if the family background is slightly inferior."

She was still thinking about this as she sat at the mirror combing her hair.

Pei Yan was a little unhappy and said, "Why do you care about these things? You didn't even ask me what I was going to do today?"

Yu Tang immediately asked him, "What did you do today?"

Pei Yan became even angrier. He threw off the quilt and lay down, turning his back to Yu Tang without saying a word.

Yu Tang reflected on himself.

Could it be that the tone of her voice just now was too perfunctory?

She rushed over to coax him: "Are you tired? I'll pour you a glass of orange juice, drink it before going to sleep, okay?"

Pei Yan has a habit that Yu Tang doesn't know how to describe - he likes to drink water soaked with dried orange peels.

Pei Yan closed his eyes and said nothing.

Yu Tang had no choice but to continue coaxing him: "I am confused by all these relationships. Tell me, if our A Dan really marries into the Qin family, then our family and the Fei family will also become in-laws? It is said that Madam Fei has already met Miss Qin. I don't know what Miss Qin thinks in her heart?"

Pei Yan shook his shoulders, as if he was going to shake Yu Tang off.

Yu Tang was not afraid of him. He took advantage of the situation and put his arm around Pei Yan's shoulders, continuing to whisper in his ear: "Is Lord Qin handsome? Lord Fei likes pretty people. If Miss Qin is ordinary-looking, do you think Lord Fei would dislike her? Madam Fei should know that Lord Fei likes pretty people..."

Why do people always talk about Fei Zhiwen?

Pei Yan was worried when he thought that Fei Zhiwen was already in his early forties but still looked like he was no more than thirty. He sat up suddenly and said, "Can you stop focusing on these messy things? The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Have you prepared food for the festival? Have you prepared offerings for worshipping the ancestors? Fei Zhiwen, Fei Zhiwen, why are you meddling in his business?"

Yu Tang wanted to laugh when she saw his uncertain face, but she still forced herself to pounce on Pei Yan again and said, "Didn't I just want you to help me make a decision? I'm afraid that our family will really marry into the Qin family, and the Qin family and the Fei family will be at odds, which will implicate us..."

Pei Yan looked at her angrily for a long while.

Yu Tang endured it again and again, pretending to be "something happened" and winked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan laughed angrily and said fiercely: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"What do you mean by intentional?" Yu Tang said innocently, "I am really worried. If the Fei family and the Qin family become enemies, which side should we stand on?"

Pei Yan smiled grimly, pressed Yu Tang onto the bed, and said, "Think about how to save yourself first!"

Yu Tang cried out in surprise...

The early summer breeze blew in, and the lamp on the table swayed again and again, bursting into a series of lights, ringing softly in the quiet night, which was very beautiful.
