Pei Yan was so angry when he saw that Yu Tang ignored his words.

He originally thought that he should ignore such an ungrateful thing and let her fend for herself. But after Yu Tang finished instructing Shuang Tao, he came to him again, smiled and said softly: "Third Master, I know you don't care about these things, and I also know that what happened today is not right for our family. Please let me buy some good tea to treat you, otherwise I will feel uneasy in the future. The same goes for the vegetarian banquet. You are still in mourning, so it is not convenient for you to stay here for a long time. You have to let us do our best. If you think it is not delicious, you can reward the people below. After all, it is a little thought from our family."

The most important thing is to let others know the Yu family's gratitude to Pei Yan and compensate him in public opinion for the grievance of personally attending the Yu family's opening ceremony.

But she couldn't say that.

Based on her intuition, if she said this so bluntly, Pei Yan would definitely be angry.

Pei Yan looked at the face in front of him, whose smile was as bright as spring flowers and had a flattering look, and the depression in his heart seemed to slowly dissipate a little.

never mind!

He is a man, why should he compare himself with a little girl like her?

Besides, who doesn’t make mistakes when they are young?

What matters is being able to correct mistakes.

He might as well give her some pointers.

Pei Yan's face lightened up, he took a sip of tea gently, and said calmly: "Let your little maid come back, I don't need your tea. I'm afraid that your servants will take charge of everything for you, thinking that the tea that costs five taels of silver per catty looks no different from the tea that costs five hundred taels per catty, so they just buy the tea that costs five taels of silver per catty and bring it back. If the news gets out, people will think that I like to drink coarse tea, and they will drink tea that is like pot washing water wherever they go. It will be uncomfortable for me, and it will be uncomfortable for others too."

What does it mean?

Yu Tang was a little confused.

She had already instructed Shuangtao to have someone buy good tea. They couldn't afford tea that cost five hundred taels of silver per catty. Even if they bought half a catty to entertain guests, it wouldn't be enough to show off. But they didn't need to buy tea that cost five taels of silver per catty to entertain him, right?

Also, what does it mean that from now on, wherever you go, you have to drink water that feels like pot washing water? He feels uncomfortable, and so do others.

I can understand that he feels bad, but why should others feel bad too?

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan's sharp eyes and suddenly understood.

This guy is mocking her.

She didn't understand it at first.

But is it her fault? Who else could be as calm as he is when making sarcastic remarks? Not only does he look calm, but his tone is neither too high nor too low, neither too angry nor too cold, as calm as water.

Is it possible to speak without revealing emotions?

Yu Tang complained in his heart, and he couldn't scold Pei Yan.

This person is so petty and moody. If she thinks a little slower, he doesn't know what she will think of in her mind.

Yu Tang's mind was racing.

Tea...cheap...thought he liked coarse tea...

This is consistent with his habit of protecting his reputation and liking to put on airs.

As for making others feel uncomfortable, it means that he has no contact with poor families. If other people want to treat him with coarse tea, do they have to go out of their way to buy it?

Several breaths had passed, and Yu Tang still hadn't figured out what she had done wrong, but the accounting office was quiet. The young man who had served in the accounting office had hidden away when she came in. Pei Man and Hu Xing lowered their heads like wooden stakes, as if they were afraid that someone would discover them. Shuang Tao trembled when she saw Pei Yan, and immediately ran away like a flash of smoke when she assigned a task to him. If she didn't say anything, there would be no other sound in the room. In a few breaths, the atmosphere that she had managed to adjust with great difficulty would become solemn again.

It’s so tiring to talk to Pei Yan!

Yu Tang was feeling emotional in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only lie: "Look at what you said, the gift is small but the thought is great! Whether it's five taels of tea per catty or five hundred taels of tea per catty, the bottom line is that I want you to feel at home, it's all a token of my heart..."

But before she finished her words, she heard Pei Yan snort coldly and said, "So, a door ring worth two taels is also a gift of great sentiment?"

Yu Tang was caught off guard by Pei Yan's sarcasm and was so shocked that he almost stumbled and fell.

The first thought that came to my mind was how did he know that the door ring cost two taels of silver?

The second thought was, does Pei Yan want to settle the score with her at this time?

The third thought was, it’s all over. With Pei Yan’s arrogant personality, he would definitely think that their family was fooling him!

Yu Tang didn't have time to think carefully, and cried out in injustice: "Third Master, you misunderstood. It was my idea to give you that door ring. When my father and I were browsing in an antique shop, I saw that the door ring was interesting, so I thought of making you happy..."

Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and interrupted her without any hesitation, saying, "It's wrapped so nicely, and you said you found it in an antique shop. It's obvious that you want to give it as a valuable gift. Then don't let the recipient know that it's worth two taels of silver? You bought something in my shop and gave it to me. Only a fool like you can come up with such an idea. Why, now you want to buy tea in my shop to entertain me? Order a vegetarian meal in my restaurant for me? Can't you think of something else in your mind besides convenience? The gift is small but the sentiment is great? If I receive something like this, can you show it to me? Where can I find your sentiment?"

Yu Tang's face suddenly turned red.

But can she be blamed for this?

There are still a few shops in the entire Lin'an City that do not belong to the Pei family.

She wanted to buy some good things, but where could she go except Pei's shop?

Although she was struggling in her heart, her mind was clearer and she knew that she was indeed wrong in doing this.

At least, there is no sincerity.

But who could have expected that such a busy man would know that among all his shops there was a door knocker like this for sale!

Yu Tang couldn't help but be shocked. Could it be that he knew everything in their Pei family shop?

This, this shouldn't be possible!

Pei Yan suddenly discovered that Miss Yu not only had a brilliant face, but her pair of clear black and white eyes were also talking all the time and were never as calm as water.

The way she looked at him, he knew what she was thinking without even having to think.

Pei Yan couldn't help but sneer again and taught her a lesson: "There is no paper that can cover fire. Since you have done such a thing, you should think about the day when you will be exposed. Instead of using words like "the gift is small but the sentiment is great" to evade others, why not think carefully about what you should say when giving a gift?"

Yu Tang nodded submissively.

But looking at her like that, Pei Yan still didn't understand what he had said.

He thought about it and said straight to the point: "Sincerity is the most important thing in everything. If you think that the door ring is interesting, you should tell the person that it is worthless when you give it as a gift. Just put it in a box for fun. If you think that the door ring is an antique, you should tell the person that it has been passed down when you give it as a gift. You are so perfunctory as you are. You put a two-liang item in a ten-liang brocade box, and you bought it in someone else's own shop. Who would like such a gift?"

Is this telling her how she should behave?

Yu Tang was completely stunned and it took him a while to react.

Really, Master Pei San was really telling her how to behave!

Yu Tang was immediately so excited that he didn't know what to say.

There is a kind of person who will teach you only if he treats you as his own.

Just like the first time she met Pei Yan, he didn't even want to listen to her explanation, but now, he was actually pointing out where she did wrong.

This is really a step to heaven!

It can be seen that her efforts have paid off.

Is there anything in the world that makes people feel that giving is meaningful more than this?

Yu Tang felt her eyes were moist, and she said in a loyal tone, "Third Master is right. I'll remember it. I won't make the same mistake again." Thinking of his awkward personality, she added, "I'll have someone call Shuang Tao back. I'll use whatever tea is available in the shop. You're not a picky person. As for the vegetarian meal, I'll have someone send it to your house. But you must order the best vegetarian meal that can be ordered in the restaurant."

Finally his efforts were not in vain.

Pei Yan's complexion looked better.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little sorry for the money she had to spend to order the vegetarian banquet.

I estimate that it would take at least fifty or sixty taels to get it.

Moreover, vegetarian banquets are always more expensive than banquets.

Can't we save a little money?

Doesn't he want fame? And a good reputation?

Yu Tang suddenly had an idea. For the sake of her family's money, she immediately said, "Third Master, what do you think? Can I replace the vegetarian banquet at the restaurant next door with a vegetarian banquet from Zhaoming Temple or other nunneries?"

Is this high quality enough?

Moreover, the masters in the temple knew that this was a vegetarian feast for the Pei family, so they would definitely make it well and not cost much money. If they asked for too much money, how could they ask the Pei family for money? After all, the flags in the temple were all simple and plain!

Pei Yan felt a little better when he looked at Yu Tang's eyes which were as clear as water but flashed with a hint of cunning from time to time.

This child is teachable!

This little girl is really smart, but it's a pity that she was born into an ordinary family like the Yu family. Her parents have no knowledge and can't teach her anything, so she is a bit like a pearl in the dust.

"Okay!" Pei Yan felt that he was always a pragmatic person. Good was good and bad was bad. Since Miss Yu had come up with an idea that was both economical and elegant, he would naturally approve of it.

She said that Pei Yan, who pretended to like plainness, actually liked luxury. But no matter how luxurious it was, he had to act plain.

Yu Tang felt that she had a new understanding of Pei Yan, and he became closer to her.

She immediately asked the young man who had served in the cashier's office to retrieve the peaches. She also went to find her aunt who was watching over the storeroom and small workshop in the back and asked her to send someone to Zhaoming Temple to arrange a vegetarian feast. She whispered to her aunt, "Let people know that this is our family's tribute to the third elder of the Pei family."

Isn't this announcing to the world that their family is under the protection of the Pei family?

Yu Yu's family has only benefits and no harm.

Why would my aunt not agree to this?

"I see." Wang replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I know how to handle this matter. I will definitely get it done."

But Yu Tang was still a little worried, and said hurriedly: "It's still not enough."

"I know, I know." The eldest aunt smiled at her meaningfully and said, "I will definitely not let people criticize our Yu family for currying favor with the Pei family."

Yu Tang pursed his lips and smiled.
