Going to Hangzhou?!
Yu Yuan was stunned.
Yu Tang looked inside the house.
Under the dim light, several elders were talking animatedly.
She lowered her voice a little and said, "Didn't I say this before? I won't let the Li family off so easily. I want to go to Hangzhou and meet the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Gu family."
"Are you talking about Li Duan's fiancée?" Yu Yuan's face changed slightly.
Yu Tang nodded.
"No!" Yu Yuan said immediately, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late. I will definitely give you an explanation about the Li family's affairs, but you can't get involved anymore."
His sister is so nice.
How can I bear the death of Wei Xiaoshan for the rest of my life just because of that scumbag Li Duan?
If anyone has to bear the blame, this misfortune should be borne by him as the elder brother.
Atang, you should happily get married, have children, and live a happy and peaceful life.
"Brother, I know you are worried about me." Yu Tang put herself in his shoes. In her previous life, she also hoped that Yu Yuan could live a happy life, so she held Li Jun's tablet and married into the Li family. "But there are some things that I will never be at peace if I don't do them myself. Besides, some things are not what you think."
Yu Yuan was confused and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Yu Tang said nothing.
Gu Xi is a very beautiful woman. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also elegant. She is the kind of beauty that can attract people's attention just by standing in the crowd.
When she first got married, Gu Xi didn't think much of her.
The reason was that Gu Xi felt that the reason why her daughter married a dead man was because she was greedy for the money or reputation of the Li family, and that the Yu family had a bad family tradition. But later, Yu Tang gradually straightened his back in his conduct, and she became more friendly to Yu Tang. Sometimes Lin made things difficult for her, and Gu Xi helped her secretly, and the two of them even appreciated each other.
Later, Gu Xi found out that Li Duan coveted her, and he hated her to the core. If they were not both daughters-in-law of the Li family, and she was not a chaste widow, and the Li family was counting on her to win a chastity archway, Gu Xi would have killed her with her own hands.
Later, probably because she knew that Li Duan would never give up on her, and as long as Yu Tang was still in the Li family, Li Duan might make a shocking scandal, which would not only affect Li Duan's career, but would even affect the reputation of Gu Xi's two sons. So Gu Xi began to instigate Li Duan to let Yu Tang leave the Li family. In this way, Yu Tang's parents' family would be helpless, and Li Duan could take Yu Tang as his concubine.
Li Duan therefore looked at Gu Xi with new eyes, and the relationship between the couple became closer than ever before.
Gu Xi, on the other hand, could not deal with Yu Tang, who was also her sister-in-law, but could deal with Yu Tang, who was Li Duan's mistress.
In her previous life, after learning about Gu Xi's plan, Yu Tang's gratitude towards Gu Xi for secretly helping her and the discomfort she had felt because Li Duan coveted her all disappeared completely.
She even wondered whether the deaths of her uncle and cousin might have something to do with Gu Xi's idea.
When she wanted to leave the Li family to investigate the cause of death of her uncle and cousin, she did not hesitate to use Gu Xi to help her.
It can be said that Yu Tang is one of the people in the world who knows Gu Xi best.
Love goes into the dust.
I hate you to the core.
In her previous life, Gu Xi took action against her first. In this life, she decided to take action against Gu Xi first.
Of course, everything has its good and bad sides, it all depends on how people choose.
Perhaps, if she takes action first, Yu Guxi will also have a chance.
Yu Tang smiled faintly.
Yu Yuan was terrified when he saw this.
Why did he feel that his sister's smile looked like she was going to do something bad and had some bad intentions?
"You, what are you going to do?" he asked anxiously, "Don't do anything rash! Otherwise, not only will I not take you to Hangzhou City, I will also tell this to my uncle."
Yu Yuan threatened Yu Tang without any intimidation.
Yu Tang laughed.
Her silly brother always protects her in such a biased way.
"I know." Yu Tang said with a smile, "I won't do anything stupid. I just want to tell the Gu family about what the Li family did, so that Miss Gu will know what kind of person Li Duan is."
Yu Yuan felt relieved when he heard this and said, "Yes! Li Duan is not a good person. If the Gu family knew what the Li family did, they would definitely cancel the engagement. You have helped Miss Gu." After he finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "How about waiting until after the New Year?"
Yu Tang was stunned, and then said unhappily: "When the Li family arrested me, why didn't they care whether our family would worship our ancestors? Why should we care whether their Gu family would celebrate the New Year?"
"Okay!" Yu Yuan said.
Yu Tang snorted coldly.
If the Gu and Li families could cancel the engagement in this way, it might be lucky for Gu Xi. The terrible thing is that the Gu family does not think this is a big deal.
But based on her understanding of Gu Xi, after Gu Xi knew what Li Duan had done, he would definitely look down on the Li family and Li Duan.
Especially since the Li family used so many methods but ended up in failure in the end.
If Gu Xi married into the family, would she still be tolerant and polite to Lin because she loves her husband?
Yu Tang really wanted to know.
"Will you accompany me to Hangzhou?" She pulled Yu Yuan's sleeve and said, "If you accompany me to Hangzhou, I will make a pink lotus silk flower for my sister-in-law. I guarantee that no one will be prettier than her when she wears it."
Yu Yuan was immediately attracted.
He thought for a moment and said, "Can we have a pair of butterflies resting on the twin lotus flowers?"
Yu Yuan had seen the silk flowers made by Yu Tang before. The insects and birds were particularly exquisite and unique, and no other place had them.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Yu Tang liked Yu Yuan like this, he had something to pursue and someone to love, but she couldn't help teasing her brother, "Auntie hasn't even come in yet, and you're already bullying your sister. Do you know that those insects and birds are the most time-consuming? Ordinary silk flowers can be made in one or two days at most, but if you decorate them with insects and birds, it will take four or five days. Aren't you afraid that my eyes will be blurry?"
"I, I didn't mean that!" Yu Yuan was embarrassed, but he was unwilling to give up letting Yu Tang make a better-looking silk flower for Miss Xiang, so he had to say, "Good sister, when you get married, I will let your sister-in-law make shoes and socks for you."
"I didn't make shoes and socks when I got married!" Yu Tang said proudly, "I asked my father to go directly to the clothing store to make them."
Yu Yuan was at a loss and became extremely anxious.
Yu Tang laughed and said, "Will you accompany me to Hangzhou?"
"Go, go, go." Yu Yuan said immediately.
"Then think of an excuse for us to go to Hangzhou." Yu Tang continued to enslave Yu Yuan.
Judging from Yu Yuan's appearance, he would definitely be the dearest to his wife and children after he got married. She couldn't control him any more, so she couldn't let him go while there was still a chance.
Yu Yuan agreed immediately.
Only then did Yu Tang return to the hall with satisfaction with Yu Yuan, where a large brazier of silver frost charcoal was burning.
Whether it was for revenge against the Li family or because he was thinking about the silk flowers used to appease Miss Xiang, Yu Yuan quickly thought of an excuse to take Yu Tang to Hangzhou City - the Yu family's lacquerware shop was reopened. Knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to success. He had to go to Hangzhou City to see what kind of goods other people's lacquerware shops sell. If he took Yu Tang with him, she would help him see what patterns were carved on the lacquerware. It would be best if she could come back and draw a picture for the masters to see. Then he could know what kind of lacquerware to make and sell in the shop in the spring of next year.
"Can Atang do it?" Yu Wen asked doubtfully, "She draws a thrush that looks like a titmouse. Aren't you afraid that she will draw something weird?"
Yu Tang was so angry that he didn't want to talk.
Yu Yuan laughed and said, "But Atang is smart! If I just want to trace a pattern, I might as well ask the master in the shop!"
"That's true." Yu Wen became proud again after hearing this and told Yu Tang, "You have to watch carefully, don't let your brother be unable to report to your uncle when he comes back!"
"Don't worry," Yu Tang said confidently, "When my brother and I come back, we will make sure that the goods sold in the shop will be very different next year."
Yu Wen and Yu Bo didn't believe it at all, just thinking that Yu Tang was bragging, but they agreed to Yu Yuan's plan to take Yu Tang to Hangzhou City for a look. Chen also secretly gave Yu Tang two taels of silver, asking her to buy something she liked and said, "If you don't like anything, don't buy it. Your aunt and I will go to Hangzhou City in the spring of next year, and it won't be too late to buy you some clothes and accessories then."
Yu Tang agreed happily.
On the day of the boat ride, Yu Tang wore a plain dark green coarse cloth jacket, wore her hair in a bun, rolled up her sleeves to hold a green coarse cloth printed bag, and a coarse cloth headscarf of the same color, and went to Hangzhou City with Yu Yuan.
On the way, Yu Yuan was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he found a corner and asked the boatman for some hot water. He then filled Yu Tang's mouth with a bowl of hot water and put it in her arms. He then asked her quietly, "How are you going to inform the Gu family?"
Yu Tang may not be able to explain other people's affairs clearly, but she knows Gu Xi's affairs very well.
In order to prevent Yu Yuan from worrying, Yu Tang whispered, "I have already found out everything. Miss Gu has a wet nurse who used to be Mrs. Gu's maidservant and is very loyal to Miss Gu. She has a son who works as a waiter in a satin shop near the Gu family's Wulin Gate. Every half a month, Miss Gu's wet nurse would try to go out of the house to see her son. Then we can go and find out about the Li family's affairs. The wet nurse will definitely go and find out after hearing the rumors. I think that after these days, these things in Lin'an City should have spread to Hangzhou City."
Yu Yuan repeatedly praised it and said, "It would be the best if the Gu family could break off the engagement with the Li family because of this."
Yu Tang did not reply, but changed the subject and asked, "Are we still staying at Ruyi Inn this time?"
Ruyi Inn is a bit far from Wulin Gate, but I know the boss and the boss lady very well. In front of it was the pawnshop of the Pei family, where the younger brother of the head shopkeeper Tong was the head shopkeeper. It feels very friendly just thinking about it.
Yu Yuan probably thought so too, and said, "Didn't you say you still want to buy some materials for making hair flowers? It's closer over there."
Yu Tang complained, "Brother, you should learn to be smarter in the future. Whose twin lotuses are the ones that have butterflies landing on them? The butterflies flutter, but they come in pairs and disappear in the blink of an eye. If they fall, they are dragonflies. If you don't understand these things in the future, ask your sister-in-law, don't make decisions on your own. This time we went to Hangzhou City, and I will help you find some dewdrops to fall on the twin lotuses, that will be beautiful!"
Yu Yuan chuckled.
Soon the boat arrived at the pier, they bought some food and went to Ruyi Inn on Yuhe Street.
