Delicate Flower - Chapter 13

[Chapter 13 The Pei Family]

What mother-in-law doesn’t like to hear people compliment your uncle!

Aunt Ji became more enthusiastic towards them, let go of her precautions, and told them about the Pei family: “There are many things in the family, there are three chief supervisors and seven supervisors. In charge of the general affairs and human relations in the mansion, the third steward is in charge of the house’s account and the outside treasurer. Among the seven stewards, the chief steward follows the chief steward; the second steward and the third steward follow the second steward; the other four stewards follow the third steward , Among them, the seven stewards are also in charge of the affairs of the inner house. For example, I will belong to the seventh steward.

“As for the shopkeeper Tong Da, their ancestors served their ancestors. Later, the Pei family was able to take root in Lin’an, and their family made great contributions. The ancestors released the Tong family registration before returning to the west. But the Tong family ancestors He is a man of gratitude and repayment, although he has released his membership, he has never left, and he also helps in charge of the pawnshop business, which is particularly respectable and different from the servants next to him.” He spoke with Yu Yourong. Yan’s pride.

As long as you live in Lin’an, you will inevitably have to deal with the Pei family more or less.

Today’s Yu family has a deeper relationship with the Pei family, whether it is to rebuild the shop or because of that painting.

In the previous life, the third master of the Pei family was the suzerain.

Therefore, Yu Tang is not like Yu Wen or Chen who have a lot of guesses about this matter.

But Mrs. Pei’s funeral revealed too much information.

For example, if the merchants in Lin’an City have something to do, they are looking for the chief manager; Mrs. Pei died of illness, and the third manager, who was supposed to be in charge of the business outside, was in charge of Mrs. Pei’s funeral; the second manager who should stand up and help the funeral at this time. But don’t know what you are doing?

How does the third master of the Pei family become the suzerain?

What happened during this period?

Are the three chief executives devoted to Master Pei San at this time, or do they have their own thoughts?

Who is the third master of the Pei family?

Who is on the side of the long house?

Even though Yu Tang married the Li family in her previous life, she didn’t know much about the Pei family because she was trapped in the back house.

In the previous life, I had never heard anyone criticize the third master.

It seems that as soon as he appeared in the Pei family, he already covered the sky with one hand, and the whole family obeyed, and no one dared to object.

She didn’t want the Yu family to be involved in the Pei family’s troubles.

There was also the man in Tsing Yi she met at the pawnshop, who should not be the two young masters in the long house in terms of age.

So what is his relationship with the Pei family?

Could it be the young master of the other two?

Which side is he on now?

Does he know that the third master of the Pei family will finally win the war?

Looking at the temperament of the third master of the Pei family from the past life, the third master of the Pei family after he became the suzerain of the Pei family.

I wonder if the man in Tsing Yi would avoid his edge because of this.

From the looks of it, he is also rebellious…

Yu Tang’s heart was in a mess. She couldn’t understand whether she wanted the Yu family to avoid disaster or wanted to know the situation of the man in Tsing Yi… But she couldn’t stop her attention to the Pei family.

Yu Tang said: “The third general manager is very busy! He has to take care of external affairs, and he has to take care of the house’s affairs. Don’t the first general manager and the second general manager help?”

Aunt Ji was shocked to realize that she had made a slip of the tongue, but Yu Tang looked like she didn’t know the world. She answered vaguely, “The chief executive and the second chief have other matters” and changed the subject, saying, “I see the lady Xiucai. Your body and bones are still very weak. If you are going to go back after worshipping the old man and having a vegetarian meal in our house, I will ask someone to take you to the room behind the side hall to rest for the afternoon. The sun is too hot at noon, you Watch out for heatstroke.”

Afraid of causing Aunt Ji’s suspicion, Yu Tang had to stop temporarily.

Mrs. Chen thanked Aunt Ji and talked about the kindness of the old man of the Pei family to her.

Yu Tang listened while observing the surroundings.

She found that along the way,

I haven’t seen a single flower of any other color.

It can be seen that the three masters have ordered the ban at this time, and no one dares to disobey on the surface.

Yu Tang was even more worried.

I just don’t know how the third master of the Pei family came to power?

Did you use the will of Mrs. Pei to force everyone to submit?

Or before Lu Xin and others had rumors and rumors, Mr. Pei San had already coerced the emperor to make the princes?

She was absent-minded, and when she heard the movement, she found that she and her mother had followed Aunt Ji into a crying yard, where many villagers like them were crying.

The water and land dojos on both sides had long, rhythmic recitations. The three-legged copper tripod taller than a human was like a forest, with white smoke curling up. If it weren’t for the white flags hanging everywhere, she almost thought she had entered a temple.

Chen Shi was choked and coughed a few times.

Aunt Ji said, “Please come with me!”

They led them through the many crying women into the side hall, where they kowtowed to the portrait of Mrs. Pei in the central hall and paid incense.

When he got up, Yu Tang looked at Mrs. Pei’s portrait seriously.

Three long beards, lying silkworm eyebrows, almond eyes, wide forehead and plump cheeks, wearing a round neck tee with turquoise woven gold five bats and flowers, smiling and looking very kind.

I don’t know who painted this painting, but the fine brushwork is very good.

The face is lifelike, even the subtle expressions are drawn.

Even if Yu Tang didn’t know much about painting, he could feel the artist’s skills.

I don’t know who painted it?

When Mr. Pei was painting this portrait, did he think that after his death, the Pei family would make a fight for the suzerain?

It can be seen that the world is impermanent.

Yu Tang suddenly felt a little sad in the sound of crying.

Her eyes were wet and tears were falling.

Chen Shi couldn’t help crying even more.

Yu Tang and Aunt Ji helped Chen shi out of the side hall from left to right.

Aunt Ji thought for a while, called a maid named “Tiny Zhi”, and instructed her: “This is the wife and eldest lady of Yu Xiucai’s family. You take the lady and the eldest lady to the back wing to rest first.” To Chen Shi, “I still have errands outside, so I won’t accompany you. I’ll come to see you later.”

It was obvious that Aunt Ji was taking care of them.

Chen Shi and Yu Tang hurriedly thanked her and said, “We can just rest in the living room.”

Aunt Ji whispered: “It’s okay! That wing was originally a guest room for the female family members of the inner house. There is no arrangement to entertain guests. I’ll give you a day off, it doesn’t matter.”

This is also the good intention of Mrs.

The mother and daughter thanked them again and again. Seeing that Aunt Ji was sincere, and another maid came to ask Aunt Ji to show her, they thanked her gratefully and followed the tired branch to the west corridor.

“Such a good person, how could he just go?!” Chen Shi was still immersed in sadness, sighing while wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

Yu Tang comforted her mother a few words, and looked up to find that they followed Leizhi to a small secluded yard.

In the courtyard, the green bamboo stream and the Banqiao spirit stones are very delicately arranged, and the sound of crying spirits can be heard faintly, which makes the courtyard more quiet.

Lei Zhi pushed the door of the west wing, invited Chen Shi and Yu Tang to enter, and whispered: “Ms. Yu, you will rest here first, and I will come to invite you during lunch.” The two poured tea.

Yu Tang looked at the black lacquer furniture in this wing room, the sky-blue curtains, and the blue-and-white porcelain vase with white late magnolias, one tall and the other short, the size of the mouth of a bowl. The arrangement was clean and elegant, neat and comfortable.

She guessed that this place should be a resting place for the relatives of the Pei family. Aunt Ji mostly saw that her father was a scholar, and her mother was frail and like-minded, so she opened a back door and took them away. Mother and daughter are arranged here.

Chen took the tea and thanked Leizhi warmly.

Yu Tang thought that Mrs. Ji could make this Tiezhi do things. This Tiezhi must have a good relationship with Mrs. Ji. She took Tiezhi’s tea and thanked her “I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” and said, “We can rest here. Now, it’s all thanks to Aunt Ji and Sister Leizhi. After a few days, Aunt Ji and Sister Leizhi are not busy, we will come back to thank you.”

Leizhi didn’t expect that Yu Xiucai’s mother and daughter would be so polite to her, so she couldn’t help but look at Yu Tang a few more times.

Yu Tang was dressed in ordinary clothes, of medium height, with soft eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle temperament.

Tired branches surprised.

Miss Yu’s family turned out to be a great beauty who did not lose to Mrs. Pei’s wife and the ladies.

Yu Tang used to have a generous temperament, but later he had some unbelievable encounters, and he became even more humble and calm when acting.

She let Lei Zhi watch.

However, Leizhi was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and said respectfully, “Miss Yu is very polite. I will definitely bring your words.”

“Ms. Ji and Miss Leizhi have their hearts!” Chen shi exchanged a few words with Leizhi again, and sent Leizhi out in person, only then did she slumped on the Arhat bed in the room with a tired face.

Yu Tang thought that this was the back door that Aunt Ji opened for them, and it would be bad for people to find out.

Then the window lattice on the side facing the yard was closed, and the window lattice on the outside was opened.

And even if it is open, I dare not open it all the way, and leave half open and half cover.

com then went to put a handkerchief on his mother to wipe the sweat, and said, “Mum, you should take a break first, and the tired branches will call us during lunch.”

Mrs. Chen nodded and said with regret: “If it wasn’t for my body, we wouldn’t have to ask for a vegetarian meal at Pei’s house. He said he was here to give incense to Mrs. Pei, but he asked their family for a meal. ”

Yu Tang comforted her mother: “Pei’s family is the home of Zhongming’s food, and they won’t care about this two meals.”

Seeing the sweat on Yu Tang’s forehead, Mrs. Chen said distressedly, “Don’t force yourself. If you feel hot, find a place to rest and cool down, but don’t come to incense Mrs. Pei, but it will heat you up. .”

“Understood!” Yu Tang responded, bringing a small wooden shovel over to help Chen Shi’s leg.

Chen Shi was surprised and delighted, and said, “Oh! This is amazing, I have never enjoyed such a blessing as a daughter!”

yes!

In the past, she was ignorant and did not know how to cherish.

Now I know how precious this kind of reunion is.

Yu Tang’s eyes were numb, and she exposed the matter coquettishly, and sat beside Chen’s leg and pinched her leg.

While enjoying her daughter’s filial piety, Mrs. Chen chatted with her: “People say that the lucky ones are born in June, and the unfortunate ones die in June… How many good things Mr. Pei has done… Fortunately, both gentlemen are at home. , my son was by my side when I was leaving. But it’s not good, the white-haired man is sending the black-haired man, and the eldest master is gone…”

Yu Tang’s left ear went in and the right ear went out, thinking about those mountain forest tea houses and street piers with “Pei” written all over them, and thought with emotion: Is it because Pei’s family is Xiao Shan?

There was a sudden commotion outside.

Chen Shi and Yu Tang were stunned.

Thinking of Aunt Ji’s words, Yu Tang whispered to Mrs. Chen, “Sit down first, I’ll take a look!”
