Madam Gao has always been proud of this. When Madam Wu said this, she couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said with a smile: "I don't deserve such a compliment from the Madam. I am the shopkeeper of our family. I got to know Madam Pei San's brothers from her mother's family. This is a good thing."

Mrs. Wu listened to this and had a lot of thoughts in her mind. She had some thoughts about Madam Gao and smiled calmly, "That's also because your shopkeeper is capable. I heard from others that the Pei family is very low-key. When I went to the Pei family to deliver the wedding invitation just now, their second wife also closed the door and refused to see anyone. It can be seen that the rumors are still credible. Your shopkeeper should be a good person and have good character to be able to associate with their family."

Mrs. Gao smiled so much that her eyebrows curved.

Mrs. Wu Da pretended not to see Gao, the shopkeeper, and walked inside with her support. As she walked, she pretended to chat casually: "What kind of people are the brothers of the third wife's family? I heard that their family got some orders for the Wanshou Festival next year? Is their lacquerware really that good?"

After following the shopkeeper Gao to visit some places, Madam Gao knew the ins and outs of the place, so she dared not boast. Hearing this, she laughed and said, "In our eyes, the lacquerware of the Yu family is naturally one of the best. But our shopkeeper is not in the lacquerware business, so I don't know how to comment on things in the industry. But the fact that they were able to get the order for the Wanshou Festival should have something to do with the Pei family..."

She told Mrs. Wu that neither the Peng family nor the Tao family had any recommendations for lacquer goods.

Mrs. Wu was very interested, as if she was listening to an anecdote. She kept asking questions and even asked Madam Gao to stay in the inner house for one night. Madam Gao returned home early the next morning.

Shopkeeper Gao had been waiting impatiently, and when he came back he asked her what she had said to Mrs. Wu.

Madam Gao told him all the conversations she had had with Mrs. Wu.

Manager Gao's eyes rolled around, thinking that if he hadn't been smart, how could he have hooked up with Peng Shiyi, and if he hadn't been brave, how could he have gotten into trouble with the Peng family and become a big manager who depended on the Peng family. The Wu family clearly wanted to copy the Peng family and curry favor with the Pei family. Maybe his chance had come again.

He urged Madam Gao to show up more often in front of Mrs. Wu.

Madam Gao originally liked to associate with wealthy and powerful families. With Manager Gao around, she felt like a fish in water and was beaming with joy.

Yu Tang planned a trip to Tongzhou with the second wife, Pei Dan and Pei Hong.

Pei Yan was not very happy.

When Yu Tang personally helped him change his clothes, he complained openly: "Can't you go two days later?"

He was dragged by Mr. Zhang to Xiangshan to see a so-called high monk to ask for fortune-telling for the Zhang family.

It was still quite hot during the past two days, but a cool breeze blew at night. Pei Yan seemed to have suddenly recovered his spirit. He made Yu Tang unable to sleep at night. When he woke up this morning, he actually felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen.

She felt that she could not tolerate Pei Yan any longer, and she had to send him out to rest for two days. She could not help but say, "Didn't you say before that you worship Taoism? Taoism respects health and longevity. You should learn from Master Zhang."

Pei Yan was even more unhappy. He pinched her cheek with a stern face and said, "I don't know where you learned these evil ways. You can go if you want, but don't run around. After all, it's a dock, and there are many people of all kinds. You are gold and jade, and they are tiles. Even if we bump into them, we can't make a move."

"I know, I know." Yu Tang responded with a smile.

The longer she lived with Pei Yan, the more she could feel that Pei Yan was "greedy and afraid of death". She usually had to give him several instructions before going out, let alone going to Tongzhou.

She promised: "We will not go out. If we go out, we will only go to shops we are familiar with. And Pei Dan will follow us."

We can't let Pei Dan's reputation be damaged.

Even so, Pei Yan continued to talk for a long time before leaving.

When Yu Tang and the second wife moved into their small house in Tongzhou, Pei Yan also set off for Xiangshan.

As soon as Pei Dan and Pei Hong entered the yard, they saw two yellow puppies. They left Yu Tang and the second wife behind and cheered as they gathered around them. The servants beside them also followed them with laughter.

The second wife looked at him and shook her head, wanting to call Pei Dan into the house.

Yu Tang advised the second wife: "She can still be so happy for a few more years, just let her be!"

The second wife has begun to give some of the family income to Pei Danding, and Pei Dan has done a good job.

After hearing this, she could only smile and sigh, and went to the upper room with Yu Tang.

The maids were packing their luggage. The temporary manager was a forty-year-old woman. When she saw Yu Tang coming, she came to greet him and recommended the local attractions to Yu Tang and the second wife: "It's not far from us. It's called the Mosque. It's a Hui temple with a white tower. It's very interesting. There's a mutton restaurant next to the mosque. Their mutton is the best in Tongzhou. It would be a pity if you two ladies don't try it."

The last time Yu Tang came to see Yu Yuan off, she just strolled around the street. Pei Yan also mentioned this mosque at that time, but she suddenly fell in love with the house she was living in now and wanted to buy it. She thought that since she already had a place to live, why would she be afraid of not coming here often? So she put the matter behind her. Now that she heard this woman talking about it, she thought that she was the host after all, so she wanted to go and take a look.

She asked the woman, "Are there many people over there?"

The old woman knew that she was only here temporarily, so she thought about how to stay. With this little idea in mind, she hoped to please Yu Tang, and said hurriedly: "It happened that the two ladies came at the right time. If they came a few days later, it would be the busy season for water transport, and more people would come and go, and more people would go to temples. These two days, everyone is busy celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, and this is the time when there are the least people."

Yu Tang looked at the second wife.

It was rare for the Second Wife to not have Pei Xuan around, so she didn't have to take care of others. She was somewhat tempted and said to Yu Tang, "How about we go and take a look?"

Yu Tang called the steward who was accompanying him over and asked him to arrange this matter.

Pei Dan and Pei Hong were very happy to hear this.

The second wife asked Pei Hong to finish the homework assigned by Pei Xuan before she could go with her.

Although Pei Hong was a little hesitant, she still agreed readily.

It can be seen that everyone wants to go out and play.

A day later, after the manager had made all the arrangements, they went to the mosque with a small entourage of seven or eight guards.

They are not welcome inside the temple, but they can look outside.

The Hui temple was different from what they usually saw. Everyone felt that it had broadened their horizons. After walking around outside for a long time, they went to eat at the mutton restaurant recommended by the old woman.

Even though they had made reservations in advance and the restaurant would close at noon and only serve their table, they were still able to smell a strong mutton odor as soon as they entered the restaurant, which was still a bit overwhelmed for them.

The restaurant owner may have seen this many times, so he arranged for them to eat in the backyard, pointed at the scenery in the backyard and said to them with a smile: "Look, it's beautiful, isn't it!"

The backyard was indeed a little beyond the expectations of Yu Tang and others.

The backyard of this small restaurant is a lush forest, connected to the backyard of the mosque. The owner of the restaurant built a pavilion in the backyard and placed the tables in the pavilion.

The breeze blew, and the leaves rustled, blowing away the summer heat and the heat wave, making people feel very comfortable. In addition, the honey in this place was not only bright red and soft, but also very much to Yu Tang's taste. The noodles were also well cooked. Yu Tang and the second wife both thought they were delicious.

When clearing the table and serving tea, he even paid a special tribute to the restaurant owner.

The boss naturally thanked me again and again.

But they didn't expect that before they left the hotel, they actually met Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Gao who also came to the mosque here and were preparing to stop here for lunch. Because Yu Tang and the others had made an appointment in advance and had not left after lunch, the boss naturally didn't want to receive any more guests and asked Mrs. Wu to either wait or go to his house.

Mrs. Wu didn't care, but Mrs. Gao recognized a maid from the Yu family and pointed her out to Mrs. Wu.

This time Mrs. Wu was definitely unwilling to leave.

He also asked someone to report to Yu Tang, saying that it was fate and that everyone should meet.

Yu Tang and the Second Madam looked at each other in bewilderment. The Second Madam even asked, "Isn't she preparing a wedding for Miss Wu? How come she has time to come to Tongzhou to play?" But she couldn't refuse to see her, so she could only ask Nanny Jin to invite Madam Wu to come over.

Yu Tang didn't want to see him, so he found an excuse and went to the bamboo forest nearby, saying that he wanted to digest his food.

The Second Wife couldn't refuse, so she received the First Wife alone.

Yu Tang was wandering in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest blocked out the sun and was very cool. Yu Tang was reminded of the bamboo forest behind Zhaoming Temple.

She smiled and asked Ah Xing, "Do all temples have bamboo forests?"

Ah Xing smiled and said, "There is also a large bamboo forest in Pei Mansion."

She could never call the Pei Mansion "our home" or "our mansion" like other maids did.

Yu Tang thought about his past life and wanted to ask her what her background was.

Who knew that before she opened her mouth, she suddenly heard someone beside the bamboo forest calling her "Miss Yu" in a low voice.

Yu Tang looked in the direction of the sound in astonishment.

A man in black shorts stood in the green shadow.

There was a glaring scar on his face, and his eyes were dark, like two black holes, which was a bit creepy.

"Peng Shiyi!" Yu Tang exclaimed in a low voice.

She didn't understand why he was here.

Peng Shiyi smiled faintly, but that smile seemed not to reach his heart, it was cold and indifferent.

"I didn't expect to meet you here?" He said slowly, walking towards Yu Tang. "Are you here alone? Why don't you see Pei Yan?"

Yu Tang didn't know what happened between him and Pei Yan. If someone called Pei Yan by his first name, their relationship would definitely be bad.

She was instinctively alert and said cautiously, "I'm sorry, I'm here with my maid, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to say more to Master Peng. If you want to see our Third Master, you might as well come to my house another day, and I won't bother you." After she finished speaking, she winked at Ah Xing, signaling them to leave quickly.

Ah Xing was also smart. She immediately pulled her arm, and the two turned around and left.

But when they turned around, Yu Tang saw Peng Shiyi chasing after her with a ferocious look on his face.
