Delicate Flower

Chapter 14: Unintentionally

He said he was going to have a look, but because he didn't know what was going on outside, Yu Tang just pushed aside the window and looked out.

There is no one in the yard.

The noise seemed to come from outside the courtyard.

Yu Tang was hesitating whether to go out and have a look, when he saw five or six women and seven or eight maids walking in, surrounded by two women.

The women and maids were all dressed in bright blue muslin, and white silk flowers the size of a wine cup.

The two women are both tall and tall. A whole body is plain white, with only a pair of lotus seed rice-sized pearl earrings on his ears. The other wore a silver-white striped hang silk blouse, a blue pleated skirt, two red gold and bluestone hairpins between his hair, and a pair of green jade bracelets on each wrist.

"You are here to guard." Yu Tang saw the woman in a hang silk jacket coldly telling the women and maids, "Don't let anyone come in!"

The mother-in-law and maidservant all stopped, squatted and bowed, respectfully answering "yes."

The woman in Hang silk underwear pulled the white woman and walked towards Yu Tang.

I don't know what these two women are going to do?

Yu Tang couldn't see through.

These two women looked like the family members of the noble family.

If the guest of the Pei family wants to rest in this yard, the Pei family should arrange for the wife and maid to lead the way?

If it's the female relatives of Pei's family, they are troubled by the auntie... They don't seem to have such a big face yet?

Did they borrow this secluded courtyard to whisper?

With Yu Tang's hesitation, the two women have joined hands on the steps of the east wing, and Yu Tang can also see clearly the looks of the two women.

The long face in the hang silk jacket, willow eyebrows, dangling nose, small cherry mouth, has a delicate and beautiful face like a meticulous painting, but his eyes are frosty, his look is arrogant, and he is very difficult to approach.

The plain white one is obviously filial, with a melon-seeded face, almond eyes, red eyes, and a haggard look.

See no evil, don't listen to evil.

Yu Tang suddenly regretted that he hadn't made any noise before, letting the two women know that there were others in this small courtyard. It’s just that she hasn’t waited for her to remedy the situation. The woman in the hang silk blouse has already started to blame the woman in pure white clothes: "Why are you so confused? Seeing that something is wrong, you should find a way to notify your brother and me as soon as possible Look at you, is it useful to be anxious now? Pei San took the will of your father-in-law before his death as an arrow, and it is too late for us to oppose it!"

Bae San?

Father-in-law?

Yu Tang was stunned.

That woman with filial piety is the eldest wife of the Pei family?

Is the woman in a hang silk jacket the sister-in-law of the eldest wife's family?

Are they going to accuse Pei's third master as being the suzerain in private?

Yu Tang lost his square inch for a while by this sudden change, and his hair was erected.

This big clan, no matter how many nasty things are inside, on the surface, no matter what happens, they have to act like fathers and sons, filial piety, brothers and sisters.

Mrs. Pei clearly had something to say to her natal sister-in-law.

She has encountered such a private matter, she and her mother will not be silenced, will they?

Yu Tang was very upset, and turned around subconsciously and made a "silence" gesture towards her mother.

The Chen was surprised. Before she could speak, Mrs. Pei’s voice came in: “How did I know that I would raise a poisonous snake? I thought he was disobedient, so I gave it in front of the old lady and the old lady. How much affection did he beg. He didn’t study well, and it was me, and I personally begged Daddy to teach him privately, or else he could get the title of the gold list and pass the exam? It was also him, and he said he wanted to marry a respectful, filial and obedient person. Woman, your maiden sister-in-law saw him, but he shied away in every way. If it weren't for me, he would have passed the exam. Can he observe politics in the six departments as smoothly as he is now?"

"Okay, okay!" Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said in a bad tone, "What did you mention about it in the past? After all, he still thinks that my family's rank is too low. The water flows to a low place. People go to higher places. This is also human nature. Blame it, but my parents’ brothers are not up to date and fail to enter the cabinet to worship the relatives."

Actually heard such a breaking news.

Yu Tang and Chen looked at each other, and they didn't dare to get out of the air.

"How can I blame my sister-in-law for this matter!" Mrs. Pei estimated that she would be very angry when she mentioned this matter, and said, "It is also the third child who doesn't know how to praise..."

Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law said it’s not strange. In fact, she should still be holding a sigh of breath. Hearing that, she sneered and interrupted Mrs. Pei’s words: “You think he doesn’t know how to promote! Now, I pushed our house, turned around and caught up with the Li family."

"Li Family?" Mrs. Pei exclaimed, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette, Li Xunjia of Wenyuange University?"

"Except for that Li family, do you think there is any other Li family that can be regarded by Pei San?" Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said sarcastically, "It seems that you don't know about this matter. I said you were stupid before. Let you guard against Pei San. You don’t listen. Now you know that it’s amazing? Your grandfather is biased! Let’s talk about the Li family, their third lady is about the same age as our official Tong. If it’s for Pei’s good, big It is possible to marry the official Jiatong and the Li family."

"Sister-in-law, did you make a mistake?" Mrs. Pei couldn't believe it. "There was no wind before."

Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law snorted coldly, and said, “I may have heard other things wrong, but this one can’t be wrong. Mrs. Li heard that our two families are relatives, so she quietly found me and wanted to inquire about Elder Pei. What's in the third room, I can still make a mistake!"

Mrs. Pei took a breath.

Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law said: "Your old man suddenly died of illness. Your second elder and Pei San will have to keep filial piety for three years. Who knows what will happen after three years? What matters now is Pei San’s suzerain. You know the disposition of Pei San. There is no tolerance for others. His elder brother treats him as well, but for him, he will turn his face when he says turning his face, and he will not talk about affection at all. If he sits firmly here. As the lord, the long house is over."

Mrs. Pei hesitated and said: "Can he still prevent our official Tong from going to the scientific examination? Dad also said that our official Tong is a material for studying. As long as our family's staff is successful in his career, the third child is he. What can you do with us? The Pei family has to rely on our Tongguaner Guangzong Yaozu!"

Mrs. Pei is still quite discerning.

Yu Tang listened to her secretly.

In the previous life, the fifth year after the death of the old man, the young man of the Pei family passed the Juren examination and later passed the Jinshi examination.

It's just that in her previous life, she was fully focused on how to escape from the Li family. She didn't know much about the Pei family. I don't know what happened to the young master Pei family?

However, she heard that Li Jun’s mother, her former mother-in-law Lin, had privately discussed with Li Duan, saying that it was Mrs. Pei’s well-connected father, and a tired official third-grade brother, Pei’s family. Even if the young master does not rely on Pei's family, his future will not be too bad.

Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law didn’t think so, and said: “You’re really like what your mother-in-law said, Bai Chang is such a big man. Guan Tong has to be a filial piety to his uncle in Lin’an for the past three years. Tongguan’s direct uncle, even if his father-in-law and your brother want to take him to our home to study, he has to agree. If he is determined to keep Tongguan studying in Lin'an, it’s not good. Guide him, let alone three years, even thirty years, Guan Tong can't even think about it."

The sister-in-law of Mrs. Pei’s family is here to pick things up, not to solve the problem, right?

The more Yu Tang listened, the more he felt that Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law had a taste of not being afraid of being elevated when watching a theater, not as if she was really planning for Mrs. Pei.

However, Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law was right about one thing.

In his previous life, Young Master Pei stayed in Lin'an until his filial piety period expired and did not participate in the imperial examination. It was still Mrs. Pei’s father who was critically ill. He brought a letter saying that he would take a look at Young Master Pei before he died, and then Master Pei left. Lin'an, then borrowed from the capital and was admitted to Juren.

Is the truth really as Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law said? !

Yu Tang once again felt that the water in Pei's house was deep, and it would be better for ordinary people like them to stay away.

"Sister-in-law, what do you say?" Mrs. Pei said anxiously after listening to her sister-in-law's words, "Now that the boat is done, can we still jump out and oppose the old lady's deathbed will not come true? Don't others say that I am going to compete with my uncle! Doesn't it ruin Guan Tong's reputation?"

"Why don't you get rid of it!" Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law said bitterly, "Isn't there still a second master Pei? Even if the sovereign is not in your room, you can't just give it to Pei third. !"

"It's impossible!" Mrs. Pei said, "Second uncle has always been honest and loyal. It is impossible for him to fight for these things. Besides, there is no good for him to fight for these things?"

Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law said: "He won’t argue over these things, but he can come forward and be fair! Doesn’t the Pei family have the other two? Master Yi, Master Wang, is there nothing to say? You don’t want the big wealth of Pei’s family, Master Yi and Master Wang are not rare? They two are not like you, who have been students for generations? If it is me, I can’t get things, others should not think about it easily Just get it."

Mrs. Pei said nothing for a while.

Mrs. Pei's sister-in-law didn't urge her either, she didn't know what she was doing, and there was no voice under the eaves.

Yu Tang and his mother held their breath for fear of being discovered.

I don't know how long it has been, Mrs. Pei said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, I will listen to you about this matter!"

Yu Tang heard Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law say with joy, and said with satisfaction: "You should have been like this! Once there was an uncle to protect you, you naturally don't have to worry about anything, but now, the uncle has gone, even for the two nephews. , You have to be strong!"

Mrs. Pei said "um".

Mrs. Pei’s sister-in-law said: "Hold your ears, and I will tell you what to do!"

Yu Tang saw Mrs. Pei and her sister-in-law's heads together.

I can't hear what I said.

Is this a moment of witnessing Mrs. Pei's encounter with his own eyes?

Yu Tang shook his head.

I don't know what kind of conflict there is between Changfang and Master Pei San, so they must be divided between the winners and losers. Unfortunately, the long house ultimately failed.

Finally Mrs. Pei and her sister-in-law left, Yu Tang and Chen both let out a long sigh of relief, and Chen was even more afraid to tell their daughter: "What you hear must be rotten in your stomach. Housework is all The mother-in-law says her mother-in-law is reasonable, and the public says the public is reasonable. We are not the parties, and we can't just intervene in other people's affairs."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Chen's still worried, let Yu Tang curse to swear, and then let the suspicion pass by Yu Tang.
