Delicate Flower - Chapter 342

[Chapter 340 Welcome]

Having said that, Pei Yan was still very angry, and continued to complain to Yu Tang about Zhang Ying: “He is also an old man, since he can’t completely retire, he should arrange a future for the people around him. If he can’t, retire completely. , don’t ask about world affairs. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, who can stand on the top and never come down? When reading history books, one understands more than one, and when it comes to oneself, one is more unwilling than the other, and the other compares One thought he would be an exception. The Xu family was the most powerful in the capital in the past. How did the Zhang family get up? They didn’t go up with the Xu family. Did the Xu family say that they have to find a way to pull the Zhang family off their horses? Who is this? First, who is second? Originally, I was going around in circles. I should find a way to stand in the first echelon, not always thinking of taking the first place.”

Yu Tang listened quietly, thinking slowly in her heart. .

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Pei Yan’s words made sense.

It’s not easy to get in, and it’s not easy to get out.

It is exactly the phrase “every family has a scripture that is difficult to read”.

It can be seen that the wealthy families also have their own difficulties.

And Pei Yan just muttered a few words in front of Yu Tang. His usually cold face made Mr. Chen feel chills in his heart. There were many things he wanted to ask Pei Yan but he was afraid to ask. up.

When this person is free, he can’t help but think about things.

Fortunately, Pei Yan was well prepared. Every day, he “reading” and “painting” with Yu Tang in the cabin. He was happy and happy like a fairy. He made the shy Yu Tang break the jar and threw the jar, as if nothing happened. Yes, when I saw the second wife, I tried to calm down, and I could discuss with the second wife whether Pei Yan, Yu Tang and others should stay in Liaocheng for a few more days since the second master sent someone to pick them up in Liaocheng.

According to Pei Yan’s opinion, there is nothing to see, but the second wife wanted Yu Tang to stay for a few days, and said, “I don’t know when I will meet you this time.”

If Pei Xuan’s official luck is good, three years later If you judge a “capable official”, it may be possible to transfer to the capital. If the official luck is not good, and the nine-year term is completed, maybe he will be transferred to a farther place.

No matter where they go, as long as Pei Xuan doesn’t go to work, there aren’t many opportunities for their sister-in-law to meet.

Although Yu Tang was reluctant to part with the second wife and fifth young lady, she followed Pei Yan.

Gu Xi really wanted to get off the boat and have a look.

Although they traveled on a boat, they stayed on the boat for a month, and there was an elder Pei Yan on the boat. Eight or nine of her time was only in the cabin, and she was really tired.

She asked Pei Tong: “You often visit the third uncle these days, how does the third uncle treat you?”

Pei Tong was a little embarrassed.

Pei Yan was not close to him.

When his father was there, Pei Yan was at his hometown.

When Pei Yan was admitted to the capital, he moved out of the old house in Pei’s capital city. Later, his father died, and the position of the suzerain of their house was handed over to Pei Yan… He didn’t care much about Pei Yan. learn.

For more than a month, Pei Yan made him feel as if he had gone to the wrong place.

Pei Yan liked taking Yu Tang very much, and told Yu Tang to post, paint, fish, and even take Yu Tang to hang out on the deck in the evening.

He’s a nephew, so it’s not easy to get close.

In this way, although he often finds opportunities to meet with Pei Yan, in fact, even if he does, he rarely has the chance to say anything.

He felt that this was a way for Pei Yan to politely refuse to get close to him.

It’s just that he was embarrassed to tell his wife, as if he was very incompetent, and couldn’t even handle this trivial matter.

Pei Tong said vaguely: “It’s okay.”

Gu Xi sat down and said to him expectantly: “You might as well tell the third uncle, we will stay in Liaocheng for two days, you and your second uncle can also be Let’s talk well. I’ve

met this time, and

I don’t know when I’ll see you! As for the delay in the trip, it’s better to add some money and let the boatmen rush for a few days and nights.”

Pei Xuan is still very kind to Pei Tong.

Pei Tong hesitated.

It’s just that they haven’t waited for him to figure out how to tell Pei Yan about this. The boat has docked at Liaocheng Wharf. They didn’t wait for Pei Xuan, who came to pick up the second wife, but an aide that Pei Xuan brought to Liaocheng.

“Third Master.” He respectfully saluted Pei Yan, handed Pei Yan a letter written by Pei Xuan, and said, “Second Master said that he is waiting for you in the capital.”

Pei Yan was very surprised. After reading the letter, he learned that it turned out that Pei Xuan had just received the official seal of Shandong’s political envoy, and an imperial decree came from Beijing, and Pei Xuan was appointed as the right servant of the Ministry of Housing, and he was restricted to come to Beijing on the 15th. appointment.

Pei Xuan, the official seal of the governor, had not yet secured the official seal, so he handed it over again, and rushed to the capital overnight.

This is a high rise!

The people on the boat were so happy that they couldn’t keep their mouths shut, and even more cleverly ran to ask the second wife for a reward.

The second wife happily opened the box and came out with silver beans to reward everyone.

But Pei Yan frowned, picked up Pei Xuan’s staff on board, and hurried overnight to the capital.

I never thought that as soon as the boat left the dock, it was stopped by the Liaocheng prefect who rushed over after hearing the news. He insisted on seeing off Pei Yan, and also laid out his relationship with the Fei family: “Fei Zhiwen is my uncle.”

Pei .

Xuan’s staff also whispered beside Pei Yan: “It’s Mr. Fei’s father’s cousin who doesn’t have three clothes.”

Pei Yan had to get off the boat to socialize.

Gu Xi poked Pei Tong: “You also follow along!”

Pei Yan didn’t call Pei Tong, but Pei Tong hesitated.

Gu Xi encouraged him: “Opportunities are created by people, and they will be given to those who actively use him.”

Pei Tong shamelessly followed.

The prefect of Liaocheng was naturally very enthusiastic, and Pei Yan did not chase him. He breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly let go of socializing with those in the Liaocheng officialdom, and gradually felt the fun like a duck in water.

Pei Yan did not stop him, but also created some opportunities for him.

Pei Tong returned to the boat and looked at Gu Xi again, feeling that she was indeed Gu Chang’s younger sister, and some of her words made sense.

Taking advantage of the taste of alcohol, he tentatively discussed with Gu Xi: “Let’s go back to the capital, let’s live in the old house!”

Before he left, the eldest wife asked him to go back to his grandfather’s house, but he privately made up his mind to live there. Go to your own house.

Gu Xi asked curiously, “Did you plan to live in your grandfather’s house before? Didn’t we agree on this before?”

Pei Tong blushed, and hesitantly said: “I’m not afraid that you are not used to it? I think you have been staying in the cabin these days…”

Gu Xi interrupted him somewhat forcefully, saying: “Not used to it ?

I’m not used to it, but we can’t do things that make the elders dislike and make others laugh just because we’re not used to it. We followed the third uncle back to Beijing, lived in the old house of Pei’s family, and served the elders, that’s what we should do, who can Pick one that’s not.”

She knew that her mother-in-law was more than enough to succeed, so she just took the opportunity to beat Pei Tong a few times.

Pei Tong snorted a few times and stopped talking. Looking at her appearance, she agreed with Gu Xi’s words.

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

They traveled day and night, and finally arrived in the capital before the Buddha Bathing Festival.

Mr. Shu and Zhou Zijin came to pick them up at Tongzhou Wharf, along with the third son of the Zhang family, Mr. Zhang.

When Pei Yan got off the boat, Zhou Zijin gave him a bear hug.

Sir Xiao Zhang looked at him and smiled and said to Pei Yan, “Welcome to the capital. Your second brother was called into the palace by the emperor. I can’t come to pick you up today. When we return to the capital tomorrow, we will give you a visit at Laishunlou. You take care of the wind and wash the dust.”

“Farewell.” Pei Yan pushed Zhou Zijin away, greeted Master Xiao Zhang, and said with a smile, “I’ll have something to eat at our house tomorrow, and then I can visit my teacher.”

Now that the situation in the capital is complicated, Mr. Zhang did not force it. He smiled and said yes, everyone did not go to the inn, but stopped at the largest inn in Tongzhou City.

Mr. Zhang also brought his wife here.

Made a special trip to receive the female family members of the Pei family.

The third wife of the Zhang family was born in a wealthy family in the north. She was tall and strong, plump and fair-skinned, and had the unique enthusiasm of the northerners.

“I heard that Xiaguang married a peerless beauty. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation.” The third wife of the Zhang family smiled and said to Yu Tang, “Since you are in the capital, take a good walk in the capital, Tan. Zhe Temple, Hongluo Temple, and Chang’an Avenue, all of them must go and see.”

Yu Tang liked such straightforward people and thanked him continuously.

It was also the first time that the second wife and the third wife met each other. Everyone chatted, and the third wife accompanied him to have dinner in the back of Bao’s yard. After a night’s rest, they changed their carriages and headed to the capital the next day.

It was the first time in Yu Tang’s life that he rode a horse-drawn carriage, and felt that although the horse-drawn carriage was more stylish than the mule carriage, it was also more bumpy.

The second wife endured all the way, and vomited as soon as she got off the carriage.

Yu Tang didn’t have time to look carefully at what the Pei family’s old house looked like, so he hurriedly helped the second wife to the house arranged for the second wife.

Fortunately, Pei Xuan had already taken the ya, and UU reading www.sonicmtl.com had been waiting at home for a long time. Seeing that the second wife was vomited, her face turned pale, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the second wife herself, and helped the servants who served tea and water. Second wife.

Seeing this, Yu Tang immediately withdrew and went back to the yard where he lived.

Qing Yuan has already begun to instruct the maid and the old lady to arrange the residence, and the steward of the inner courtyard here has respectfully waited outside waiting for Yu Tang to summon him.

Yu Tang was also too tired, she didn’t want to force herself, she said to the steward mama Min, and they were let go, while Qing Yuan served herself, washed and changed clothes, and went to the inner house, which was dedicated to entertaining female guests. Flower Hall, went to entertain Mrs. Zhang San.

When Mrs. Zhang learned that the second wife was so sick that she couldn’t have dinner with them, she blamed herself: “I thought you would not get used to it, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn’t have rushed back with their men. Anyway, we won’t have dinner with them.”

“No one thought of it.” Yu Tang and her politely brought the fifth young lady and Gu Xi to entertain Mrs. Zhang San on behalf of the Pei family.

After Mrs. Zhang San returned, she kept praising Yu Tang in front of the old lady of the Zhang family: “She is so beautiful! All the female relatives of our family are more beautiful than her, no wonder Xia Guang was reluctant to marry the Li family back then. Mrs. Zhang didn’t care much about this, and asked Fifth Young Lady Pei Dan, “How is that little

girl

?”

Mrs. Zhang San hesitated: “People haven’t grown up yet, but that model is like the second Mrs. Pei. It’s printed in it. It looks like a very gentle temperament…”

It’s not bad to marry such a little girl as a second daughter-in-law.

But being the first daughter-in-law… is a bit inappropriate.

What’s more, he’s still seven or eight years old.
