Pei Yan wants to give her some advice? !

She actually had such a good thing happen to her!

Yu Tang was so excited after listening to this that he didn't know what to say.

Pei Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and smiled sincerely.

There was no more sarcastic look or disdainful expression. His smile was like the scorching sun in summer, a little dazzling, but undeniably extremely bright.

Yu Tang looked a little dumbfounded.

This is the real Pei Yan, right?

But what did I do to deserve the honor of seeing such a genuine expression from Master Pei San?

Yu Tang was confused and felt that he had to recall everything they had said after returning home. He must know why Pei Yan was laughing, and he must leave a good impression on Pei Yan the next time they met.

In order to take revenge on the Li family, she was counting on Pei Yan to make a great effort!

"Just tell me." Yu Tang flattered Pei Yan without blushing or beating his heart. His tone was as sincere as it could be. "You are very knowledgeable. Your ideas are definitely hundreds or thousands of times better than what we can come up with ourselves. Just tell me, I will listen to you."

Pei Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth again.

Does this little girl think he is a fool? She praises people so frankly that it's like a puppy wagging its tail. She thinks she is smart, but people can see through her at a glance.

But he didn't find it annoying.

This is probably because good-looking people are easily forgiven!

Pei Yan complained in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked, "How many copies of "Fishing in Songxi" have you copied?"

Yu Tang said without thinking: "I didn't copy the "Songxi Diaoyin Tu", I only copied a map, but we didn't understand that map."

She didn't know about Wei Xiaoshan before, and thought that if anyone wanted the painting, she could give it to them, just to get their family out of trouble. But after she confirmed that Wei Xiaoshan's death was related to her marriage and was instigated by the Li family, she changed her mind - even if she died a miserable death and went to hell, she would avenge Wei Xiaoshan.

Not only did she give the real painting to the Lu family, she also wanted to start with this painting and make sure that the Li family would never be able to recover.

She planned to hide the copy of "Fishing in Songxi" first and use it later.

But this matter has nothing to do with Pei Yan and the Pei family, so Pei Yan doesn't need to know about it.

Pei Yan smiled and said, "Then first show me the painting of the carriage that you asked someone to copy. I'll see if it's worth it and then give you some advice."

Definitely worth it.

Otherwise, how could the Li family become rich overnight in the previous life.

But she couldn't tell Pei Yan this, so she could only say "hmm" and prepare to go back to get the map.

Pei Yan stopped her and said with disdain: "You should dress properly and come back later."

Yu Tang smiled awkwardly, his eyes involuntarily looking at Pei Yan.

He wore a moon-white fine cloth robe, which looked very simple, but the fine cloth was clean and soft, shining with the luster of white jade. It was a special product of Songjiang, Sanshu cloth, a tribute. A piece of such fine cloth was comparable to a piece of brocade woven with gold. He had no ornaments on his body, but only played with a string of 18 Buddhist beads in his hand. The beads were neither purple-red sandalwood nor yellow huanghuali, but paulownia wood. They looked plain, but exuded a faint sweet fragrance. A connoisseur would know that these were green sandalwood beads, which were imported from overseas and very rare. When the Li family got a string, Lin regarded it as a treasure and would not show it to others easily. He even said that he would keep such a string of Buddhist beads as a family heirloom. As for the pair of black thousand-layer cloth shoes on his feet, they were embroidered with an endless pattern of swastikas using silk thread of the same color... All the exquisiteness of his whole body was hidden in the carelessness and casualness, in the subtle differences.

Yu Tang lowered his eyelids and gave Pei Yan a look of contempt in his heart.

The third elder of the Pei family is totally inconsistent in his actions.

No wonder he disliked her!

Yu Tang was afraid that Pei Yan would notice that he didn't care, so he quickly responded with a "OK".

Pei Yan said with satisfaction, "Hmm," and then said, "Tell Master Yu about this. Ask him to come over and discuss this with us."

Otherwise, the painting would be of no value at all, but people would misunderstand that he was bullying the little girl.

"Yes!" Yu Tang responded, and only then did she feel that this matter should be discussed by her father and Pei Yan.

She returned home immediately.

Yu Wen went to the shop on Changxing Street and hasn't come back yet.

I heard from Mrs. Chen that her great uncle had imported some goods from Jiangxi and came back to Tiaoxi Wharf today. Her eldest cousin was going to pick up the goods. There was no one watching the shop, so Yu Wen went to help.

Yu Tang sent someone to ask Yu Wen to come back, and he went to the study to find the copied picture, and told Shuang Tao to bring in some water and help her wash up again.

She wore a bun with a falling horse-like hairstyle, a pink camellia as big as a bowl, lotus seed-sized South Pearl earrings, a dark green jacket inlaid with gold edges, a plain pink pleated skirt made of Hang silk, and plain shoes of the same color with cloud patterns.

Yu Tang looked carefully at the beauty in the mirror, smiled, gave himself an encouraging gesture, and then went out to wait for Yu Wen.

Chen was shocked and asked, "What are you doing? I didn't see you dressed so formally when I went to Ma Xiu's parents' house for a banquet. Are you going to meet someone?"

"Go visit the Pei family." Yu Tang said somewhat frustratedly, "I have something to ask Master Pei San."

Chen didn't suspect anything.

In her mind, Pei Yan is of the same generation as Yu Wen, and Pei Yan is kind-hearted and protective of his neighbors. When her daughter goes to see Pei Yan, it is like visiting an elder. If she dresses formally, she will appear more respectful, and if she dresses simply, she will appear closer. Either way is not too much.

"What did you go to see Master Pei San for?" Chen asked curiously, "Is it about tax reduction?"

Last year, Jinhua suffered a flood. The newly appointed prefect of Jinhua requested the court to exempt taxes for two years, and the court agreed. Lin'an also suffered a flood last year, but only four or five villages were exempted. Some people saw that Jinhua was exempted from taxes and also had the idea of ​​doing so. In the past few days, someone has urged Yu Wen to jointly ask Prefect Tang to intervene.

Yu Wen thought that the disaster area was not large, and with everyone's united efforts, it might be possible to make up for the losses, so he found a reason to push it away. Then someone set his sights on Pei Yan.

"That's not the case." Yu Tang smiled, "I went there for Uncle Lu's painting. The painting ended up in the hands of the Li family, so Master Pei San must be informed of this."

There can't be two tigers in one mountain.

The Li family has been jumping around a lot these days, and the Pei family should teach them a lesson.

Chen nodded, and while tidying up her temples, she reminded her: "Then you must be obedient when you get there. Don't be so careless and treat the place as your own home. Eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want. As a girl, you still need to maintain your image."

If her mother knew that she had eaten pig's trotters with her hands in front of Pei Yan, would she be so angry that she would spit out blood?

Yu Tang pursed his lips tightly, not wanting to utter a single syllable.

Fortunately, Yu Wen came back soon, and the father and daughter talked in private in the study.

After knowing the whole story, Yu Wen complained: "What did you do beforehand, kid? What if Master Pei San doesn't believe you?"

Yu Tang couldn't say that this was just her feeling, right?

She said, "You are the head of the family, and you are also one of the most educated people in Lin'an City. But Master Pei San's temper is unpredictable. If you go to him and he agrees, it's fine. But what if he doesn't agree? You can't just go to him with a warm face, right? It's better for me to go! Even if I say something wrong, others will just think I'm a child and won't take it to heart."

Yu Wen felt that his daughter was right, so he washed up and went to Pei Mansion with Yu Tang.

Pei Yan was not used to waiting for people, so after seeing Yu Tang off, he went to his study in the outer courtyard.

This study is usually used to handle daily chores and is quite relaxing.

When Yu Tang and Yu Wen walked into the study, he was lazily lying on a tumbler chair made of bamboo and rattan, drinking the newly-released rock tea. The warm autumn noon sun shone in, making him look as comfortable as the autumn sun.

"Mr. Yu and Miss Yu are here!" He stood up and greeted the two of them without putting on airs, while his eyes fell on Yu Tang.

Yes, she is as delicate as a crabapple blossom in spring. This is what a girl should look like.

He nodded slightly, showing a satisfied look.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

But in her heart she was thinking, it turns out Pei Yan appreciates this kind of behavior. Fortunately, she has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is not pretty enough but beautiful, otherwise she really can't stand such a dress.

When you come to see Pei Yan from now on, dress like this.

After all, she needed help.

Yu Wen was flattered.

Pei Yan's image is too easy-going, and he treats them like old friends.

Yu Wen had never seen Pei Yan like this before, and he quickly bowed to Pei Yan, saying, "Sorry to bother you!"

Pei Yan shook his head, watched the maids come in and serve tea and snacks, closed the door, and then went straight to the point and said to Yu Tang: "Did you bring the map of the road? Let's take a look at the map of the road first. Business is booming at sea now, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie. Everyone is finding their own way, forming their own fleet, and each family has their own nautical map..."

As he spoke, he took the map from Yu Tang's hand, spread it flat on the desk, then turned around and took out a convex mirror.

Yu Wen was immediately excited and asked, "Is that a concave-convex mirror in your hand? It's so exquisitely made? Is it also imported?"

Pei Yan looked at the concave-convex mirror in his hand in confusion, and then he suddenly realized, "It is the concave-convex mirror. I found it accidentally when I went to Wenzhou City for fun a few years ago, so I bought it. Do you want to take a look?" As he said that, he handed the concave-convex mirror to Yu Wen.

Yu Wen took it in his hand with great curiosity and looked at it from front to back for a long time before returning it to Pei Yan, saying, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I'm very interested in these little things."

Pei Yan thought about how he had misunderstood Miss Yu before and had not formally apologized to the Yu family yet, so he said nonchalantly: "If Master Yu likes it, I'll give it to you. I have another one in the house in Hangzhou City."

"Oh, no thanks!" Yu Wen blushed and declined, "I just want to take a look."

"It's okay." Pei Yan said as he took out a convex mirror to look carefully at the picture of the carriage.

The Yu family father and daughter immediately held their breath, waiting for Pei Yan's outcome.
