What kind of luck is this?

Didn't Pei Yan live in a luxurious house in Fenghuang Mountain or Meijiaqiao? Why did he come to the cheap Beiguan Night Market?

Yu Tang's eyes widened.

Pei Yan was probably also quite surprised, and stared at her with wide eyes.

The two of us stood there separated by the bustling crowd, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one spoke, let alone said hello.

It was Zhou Zijin who spotted Yu Wen: "Hey, isn't this Yu Xiucai? Why are you here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang was wearing a blue coarse printed dress and had her hair wrapped up. At first glance, she looked like a country girl who had come to the city to see the hustle and bustle, but her hands, which were exposed, were white and tender, and as beautiful as the magnolia flowers that had just bloomed on the branches.

Yu Wen didn't expect to meet Pei Yan and Zhou Zijin here. He was still very happy to meet acquaintances here: "Zhou Zhuangyuan, Mr. Pei! What a coincidence! I thought since I came to Hangzhou Prefecture, I must go to Beiguan Night Market, so I brought my nephew and daughter here. Why are you also in Beiguan Night Market? Are you two alone?"

Pei Yan nodded reservedly, while Zhou Zijin was much more enthusiastic and said with a smile: "We live near Meijiaqiao. Meijiaqiao is quite close to Beiguan. I haven't been here for many years, so I brought Xiaguang here for a stroll." As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Tang again.

He was deeply impressed by the girl.

It's not like he hasn't seen beautiful women before, but this is the first time he has seen someone like Yu Tang, who could attract the admiration of two brothers and make the boys clamor to become their son-in-law.

Moreover, the Yu Tang he met this time was different from the last time.

Last time, although Yu Tang was dressed in ordinary clothes, she was a girl who made people's eyes light up and was quite stunning. This time, she was dressed in such a rustic way, but it was still difficult to hide her beauty. It can be seen that this girl is beautiful with her own style, and no matter how she dresses up, she can't lose her outstandingness.

Zhou Zijin couldn't help but ask Yu Wen: "Is this little girl really your daughter?"

Yu Wen didn't know why he asked that, and couldn't help but laugh, "Could it be fake?"

Zhou Zijin chuckled and said, "I just feel a little bit sorry. You don't know, I've been painting the Twelve Beauties recently..."

Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.

It would be great if this little girl wasn’t the daughter of the Yu family.

He could pay her a large sum of money to have her portrait painted.

Pei Yan, who was standing by, knew that Zhou Zijin was a painting addict. He even resigned from his job in the Six Ministries for this reason. When he saw pretty girls and boys, he couldn't take his eyes away.

He frowned unhappily, and before Zhou Zijin could finish his words, he said to Yu Wen in a deep voice, "Did Master Yu just arrive or is he about to leave?"

Yu Wen also guessed what Zhou Zijin had to say. It was one thing for him to bring his daughter out in public, but it was another thing for her to be painted in a picture. He looked at Pei Yan gratefully and said, "We just got here! Did Master Pei and Zhou Zhuangyuan just get here or are they going back? How about we go shopping together?"

Pei Yan said, "No need. This night market is full of smoke and fire, I can just accompany him to take a look..."

Zhou Zijin said hurriedly: "Xiaguang, now that you are out, don't be sad. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great blessing in life. Why don't we go out for a walk together?"

Yu Wen saw that Pei Yan was reluctant, and before he could say no, Zhou Zijin put his arm around his shoulder and pushed him inside without saying anything: "Let's go! When I came here earlier, I ate Tang Ershazi's pancakes once and I've been thinking about them till today. This time I came to Beiguan Night Market for these pancakes."

Yu Wen still quite liked Zhou Zijin's outgoing personality. He thought about it and felt that it would be good for them to walk together, especially since Zhou Zijin and Pei Yan were both people of status and position. They would definitely not say anything about him taking his daughter to the night market. So he simply followed Zhou Zijin inside and chatted with him: "I thought you would like to eat sweet-scented osmanthus wine dumplings. Aren't you from Nantong? People in the south like to eat this."

"I'm from the south! But I was born and raised in Beijing." Zhou Zijin said with a smile, "I just like eating noodles!"

After just a few words, the two figures were almost drowned in the crowd.

Yu Yuan hurriedly called out to Yu Tang: "Walk ahead of me, so as not to get lost."

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan's slightly annoyed face, adjusted his temples uncomfortably, and then followed Yu Wen as Yu Yuan said.

There is a monkey show in front.

Yu Wen and Zhou Zijin squeezed in to take a look and waved to Yu Tang and the others.

Pei Yan's face looked even uglier.

Yu Tang and Yu Yuan were very interested.

Yu Yuan pulled Yu Tang's sleeve and squeezed inside.

Yu Tang couldn't help but glance at Pei Yan.

He was wearing a bright blue gown made of fine cloth, and still had no accessories on. With a fair face, handsome features, and a stern expression, he walked with his hands behind his back in front of a busy night market stall, forcibly bringing a third of the silence out of the bustle.

This person is so unique!

Yu Tang pondered over it and put Master Pei San behind his mind. He happily went to watch the monkey show with Yu Yuan.

However, after just a few glances, Yu Tang began to feel uncomfortable.

The little monkey had black eyes and looked at people as if he had something to say to them. His thin body was covered with a thin layer of yellow hair. He was very agile and would do whatever the juggler asked him to do. He even knew to bow to people and beg for food. He was very cute. But there was an iron collar around his neck. Maybe it was too long and the hair around it had fallen off. The more obedient and well-behaved he was, the more she couldn't look at him.

These monkeys live in the mountains and forests, but they don't know how to be caught by humans. They have to do some things to please humans in order to get food and water and survive.

She felt a tightness in her chest, pulled Yu Yuan's sleeve, and whispered in his ear: "Let's not watch it anymore, shall we? We just had some dry food at noon. I'm hungry, let's go eat something."

The little monkey was performing a flag dance. Yu Yuan found it very interesting and said, "Wait a minute. I'll go eat with you after I finish watching."

Yu Tang thought that the little monkey's limbs should have been on the ground, but now they were forced to stand up... He couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and said with a gloomy look: "Then you watch here, I'll wait for you outside."

Yu Yuan was startled when he heard this and said hurriedly, "Then I won't watch it anymore. I'll go with you to wait for your uncle."

Yu Wen didn't have dinner either.

Yu Tang nodded and squeezed out with Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan went to find Yu Wen.

Yu Tang saw Pei Yan standing under the tree nearby.

He did not go to watch the monkey show, but stood coldly under a big tree nearby.

Perhaps he felt Yu Tang was looking at him, so he turned around and glanced at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang smiled at him politely.

He turned his head expressionlessly.

Yu Tang was very angry.

What's wrong with this person?

Can't you see the good and the bad?

She had shown her kindness to him first, but he had this attitude!

Yu Tang's head was buzzing and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Yu Wen, Yu Yuan and Zhou Zijin came over.

Zhou Zijin apologized, "I didn't know you hadn't had dinner yet. It's my treat, what would you like to eat?" He asked Yu Tang the last sentence.

How could Yu Tang have the nerve to eat Zhou Zijin's meal, so he quickly said politely: "You don't have to be polite, I can eat anything."

Zhou Zijin smiled and said, "Then let's go eat Guan Sanniang's grilled fish? I ate it last time and it was pretty good."

People in Jiangnan love to eat fish.

Yu Tang immediately took a liking to Zhou Zijin and thanked her with a smile.

Zhou Zijin waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "These are just trivial matters..." Having said this, he hesitated to continue.

Pei Yan called out "Zi Jin" in a cold tone, and said, "Can you still eat? You ate two kilograms of roasted puffer fish last night."

"Oh! What's so delicious about this?" Zhou Zijin said immediately, "I've been walking for a long time, and I don't know where the two pounds of roasted puffer fish have gone. Of course I have to try the roasted fish at Guan Sanniang's house." He said, curiously: "Don't you want to eat it?"

Pei Yan said in a decisive tone, "I don't want to eat it!"

Yu Tang and others all looked at Zhou Zijin.

Zhou Zijin said with a guilty conscience: "I am a guest after all! Xiaguang should accompany me out of both affection and reason!"

Pei Yan glanced at him sideways and walked straight ahead: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat Guan Sanniang's grilled fish? Why don't you leave!"

"Okay, okay." Zhou Zijin followed immediately.

Yu Wen shook his head and followed with Yu Yuan and Yu Tang.

Yu Tang whispered to Yu Wen: "Dad, do we have to go with him?"

Pei Yan's attitude was so bad that she felt she wouldn't be able to eat if she continued to follow him.

Yu Wen said, "We have to go eat anyway, so why not go to Guan Sanniang's shop. The noodles they make are also very good. Last time I told your mother that I wanted Mrs. Chen to learn from her, but Mrs. Chen just couldn't do it."

All right!

Yu Tang decided to endure it for the sake of delicious food.

Guan Sanniang's grilled fish stall is quite large, but it is still packed with people sitting on three floors inside and outside.

Zhou Zijin acted like a wealthy man and directly used money to ask someone to give them a table.

Several people were preparing to sit around the table. Pei Yan took out a white handkerchief from somewhere and carefully wiped the place where he was going to sit.

Yu Tang watched and touched the table quietly.

The table looked old, and seemed to be greasy under the light, but it felt very clean to the touch, without even a speck of dust, let alone grease stains.

She sat down with confidence, and Pei Yan began to wipe the table.

Zhou Zijin couldn't help it and said, "Xiaguang, could you please stop being so fussy?"

Pei Yan pursed his lips and insisted on wiping the table.

Zhou Zijin had no choice but to discuss with Yu Wen and order the restaurant's signature dishes.

Those who can make a name for themselves in the night market are indeed worthy of their reputation.

The grilled fish at Guan Sanniang's house was crispy and salty, the mixed noodles were red and oily with red sauce, the halved pig's trotters were glutinous but not greasy, and the Tremella soup was sweet and delicious... Yu Tang's appetite was whetted, and Zhou Zijin was full of praise.

Pei Yan just sat there without eating a single bite.

Zhou Zijin deliberately whispered to Yu Wen: "You see, he is such a boring person! If I hadn't met you today, even if I ate dragon's liver and pheasant's gall, it would turn into a stone weighing on my heart."

Yu Wen looked at Pei Yan who was sitting there casually like a tall pine tree in the snow, with a hint of arrogance in his bones. He suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for Zhou Zijin to force Pei Yan like this.

"Everyone has their own personality, and good friends should not make things difficult for each other." Yu Wen smiled, raised the wine glass in his hand to Zhou Zijin, and said, "This glass is for you."

Zhou Zijin laughed and put the matter behind him.

Pei Yan's gaze involuntarily fell on Yu Tang who was sitting opposite him.
