Yu Tang naturally didn't know what happened in the hall.
At this moment, she was sitting in the Pei family's flower hall, staring at the row of gold-foil painted glazed doors without blinking, wondering what she was thinking.
Yu Yuan gently pulled the corner of Yu Tang's clothes.
Yu Tang came back to his senses and heard Master Wu asking the servant about Pei Yan: "...So, Master Pei San is a person who has no hobbies?"
The servant felt that this was not right, but he could not think of any words to refute it. He pondered and said, "You can't say that. I'm just a servant running errands in the outer courtyard. Even if the Third Master has any preferences, I can't know it!"
Master Wu felt that his question had embarrassed the servant, so he said hurriedly, "Hey, we were just talking casually. If you ask me, you have served the old lady, and given the filial piety of the Third Master, he will naturally look up to you. Just wait patiently, and when the Third Master is done serving, he will definitely make some arrangements."
The servant probably thought so too, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and said, "Thank you for your good words."
He's just a servant, there's no need to fawn on him like this, right?
Yu Tang asked Yu Yuan in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Yu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wu is really amazing. He exchanged names with this boy in just a few words and asked him to bring a few good friends to the Wu family's mountain to pick walnuts when he is free."
Yu Tang admired her for her flexibility.
Yu Yuan asked her quietly: "What were you thinking about just now? I called you twice but you didn't hear me."
"Nothing!" Yu Tang looked at the two maids standing in the flower hall and felt that this was not the place to talk, so he said, "Let's talk about it when we get back." Then he turned and looked at the Wei father and son.
Master Wei and Wei Xiaoyuan sat there quietly drinking tea and listening to Master Wu talking to the servant. They looked calm and seemed to have recovered from the pain they had just suffered.
Yu Tang felt relieved.
Pei Man walked in with Yu Wen.
"Dad!" Yu Tang was delighted and rushed forward.
"Master Yu!"
"Uncle Yu!"
"uncle!"
When Mr. Wu and others saw this, they all stood up.
Yu Wen hurriedly bowed to everyone and said, "Master Pei San just asked me about the rift between our two families and the Li family, and I told him the truth. Seeing that it is getting late, I will take my leave."
This is an explanation to everyone.
Mr. Wu and others greeted Pei Man again.
Pei Man returned the greetings to everyone one by one, his attitude as always being neither overly enthusiastic nor overly cold. It was completely impossible to tell Pei Yan's intentions from his expression.
After a few pleasantries, Pei Man personally saw them out.
Yu Tang's curiosity reached its peak.
After passing through the hall, you will arrive at the side gate of Pei's house.
Once you pass through the side door, you are out of the Pei family.
She followed her father and brother, but when she stepped out of the hall, she couldn't help but look back.
Amid the greenery, one could only see the high-rising eaves at both ends of the grey Qingshui ridge of the Pei Mansion's hall. One could not see the five-room hall with red pillars, nor the two camphor trees in front of the hall that were as thick as a man's embrace.
The courtyard is really deep.
Who knows what is hidden in this green space?
Yu Tang turned around and followed his father and brother out of Pei Mansion.
Chen and Wang were eagerly waiting for them at the door.
Yu Tang already knew what Pei Yan and his father had said on the way, and he ran straight to his mother and aunt as soon as he got off the sedan chair.
"Mother, aunt," she stepped forward and took her mother's arm, and said to Wang affectionately, "It's all right. The third elder of the Pei family has upheld justice and has imprisoned the two refugees and the chief steward of the Li family who ordered the refugees to kill people. He has also expelled the chief steward's aunts and uncles from the Li Mansion. From now on, no one will dare to help the tyrant to commit atrocities."
This was the best outcome they had discussed before.
"Amitābha!" Chen and Wang could not help but put their hands together and chanted the Buddha's name, "Buddha bless you!"
Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
Yu Wen and Yu Yuan walked in and greeted Chen and Wang.
"Go inside quickly, go inside quickly!" Chen said, "I have prepared some pomelo leaves."
Yu Wen was very upset and said, "It's not like anything happened to me, why would I need to prepare pomelo leaves?"
"Hasn't our family been violating a villain?" Chen said confidently, "We have to get rid of the bad luck!"
Yu Wen thought about it and said with a smile: "You're right. Isn't the Li family a bad luck? We must get rid of them, we must get rid of them!"
Wang watched and laughed, and she and Chen took pomelo branches to dust them off, to drive away the bad luck.
Chen took the pomelo branch, looked behind the two people, and said, "Why don't I see Master Wu? I also prepared some for Master Wu."
Yu Wen said, "He didn't come back with us because he had something else to do. You can send someone to deliver the pomelo branches to their home." Then he thought of how much help Mr. Wu had given him today, so he instructed, "Bring a few boxes of snacks and candies with him."
Chen repeatedly said yes and arranged for someone to deliver pomelo branches and snacks. Yu Wen, Yu Tang and Yu Yuan went back to their rooms to wash up and then gathered together for lunch.
Wang and Chen then realized what had happened to the Pei family. They scolded the Li family and praised the third elder of the Pei family. Chen sighed again: "It's a pity that our family can't help the Pei family at all! It would be best if I never have the chance to repay them in this lifetime."
There is no chance to repay their family, which means that the Pei family has always been so peaceful. This can be regarded as another blessing to the Pei family!
The two families sat together and happily had lunch. Yu Wen said, "Everyone is tired today. Let's take a rest first. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Yu Tang and Yu Yuan both claimed yes. Yu Yuan and his mother returned home. After Yu Tang returned to his room, he lay on the bed but could not fall asleep.
I finally fell into a drowsy sleep, but was soon awakened by the sound of people talking outside.
She called Shuangtao and asked, "Who is talking outside?"
Shuang Tao said happily, "It's Ma's wife. The eldest daughter of the Ma family is going to get married soon, and Ma's wife came to invite you and the eldest daughter to the house for a wedding banquet, and she also wanted to invite the eldest daughter to accompany Miss Ma."
This was originally agreed upon with Ma Xiuniang.
It’s her fault that she was so busy taking care of Xiaoshan these days that she forgot about this matter.
Yu Tang patted her forehead, stood up and asked Shuang Tao to help her dress. She said, "Is Mrs. Ma the only one coming here? I have to go and say hello to her."
Shuang Tao helped her change her clothes while she said, "Mrs. Ma came here with the matchmaker, saying that they wanted to invite Mrs. Wu to be their bride. But when they got here, they found out that Mrs. Wu had gone back to her parents' home and would not be back for two days. Mrs. Ma plans to come back in two days to invite Mrs. Wu."
Mrs. Wu is a well-known perfect woman in Lin'an City. Many people invited her to be a perfect woman. In the early years, she never refused anyone. Now that her reputation has spread and more people have invited her, she is not willing to accept anyone easily.
Yu Tang went to the living room, where Mrs. Ma and Chen were talking and laughing, looking very cordial.
When he saw Yu Tang, he waved at her, handed her a red envelope and said he was buying some snacks for her.
This means asking her to be a guest.
Of course she agreed readily.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Ma talked for a while about Ma Xiuniang's dowry. Mrs. Ma had a lot of things to do and could not sit still. She reminded Mrs. Chen a few words, "You must come on that day," and then said goodbye with the matchmaker.
