Chapter 143: Enter the house

But before Yu Tang went to visit Pei Yan, the people from Pei's family came to visit Yu Tang first.

The person who came was the third director Hu Xing.

He was very attentive, sitting in the hall of the Yu family, and said to Yu Wen and Chen with joy: "...We Lao An are not ordinary women in the house. The old man Yi was sick that year, and everything in their family was ours. Lao An helped arrange the arrangements. And since the old man went there, the old An of our family thanked the guests behind closed doors. Even the grandmother of the old lady’s family came over, and the Lao An of our family only met. Now they say they want to pick up your girl. Go into the house and sit down. This is a kind of grace that many people can't ask for. You have to tell Miss Yu to take care of her. Our Lao An loves pretty girls the most!"

Yu Wen was very surprised.

Chen was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Yu Tang’s marriage hasn’t settled down to this day. As the most prominent family in Lin'an City, if Yu Tang can win the favor of Pei Lao'an, it will surely be famous, and it will be very beneficial to her marriage.

"Thank you, Mr. Hu." Because he often brought Yuyu Yang to her for consultations, Chen and Hu Xing were quite familiar with each other, and they did not have the restraints of ordinary people when speaking, "We will definitely not live up to Mr. Hu. Love. You will sit down for a while, and I will have someone prepare a banquet so that our master and you can have a good drink."

Chen motioned to Granny Chen to prepare some gifts for Hu Xing later.

Hu Xing waved his hands again and again and said, "None of us are outsiders, Mrs. Yu and I don’t have to be so polite. I was ordered by Lao An to go to the shopkeeper Tong, but I met at the door and I was about to come. As the steward of your family's letter delivery, I took the initiative to invite Ying and ran over. I still have business there. After I have been busy for a while, I will find another chance to visit Master Yu on a special trip."

He wondered, if Miss Yu’s visit to the mansion wins Lao An’s eyes, the Yu family and Pei’s family will start to move, and he will come to please anyway, and the relationship with the Yu family will have to be Just one level closer.

Yu Wen listened with a smile and said, "Listening to Mr. Hu's tone, are you now working as a errand in front of Lao An?"

Hu Xing smiled and narrowed his eyes into a slit: "You are really glaring. No, I helped Lao An with a few things a few days ago. Lao An was okay, so I asked me to focus on her. The old man is a errand. Isn't the treasurer Tong in charge of the pawnshop in Lin'an City? In a few days it will be Song Lao'an's birthday. Lao An asked me to see if there are any rare things on his side and plan to pick up two. Send it over."

Yu Wen didn't want to keep him, so he personally sent him out.

Chen's side, however, immediately prepared happily, ran to Yu Tang and said Hu Xing’s intentions, and took her to the Yinlou: “I have to go and see if there are any new-style jewelry to buy, and I have to buy a few more. A piece of clothing. I heard that the Qian family is also a generational official and one of the four great families in the south of the Yangtze River. If it hadn’t been for the handsome old man Pei, the generations of Qian’s family would not look down upon him. Back then, Lao An. But marry low."

Yu Tang couldn't laugh or cry.

In her previous life, she was very nervous when she first started contacting the three aunts and six relatives of the Li family. Later, she discovered that sometimes the more calm you are, the easier it is to integrate into the surrounding environment.

However, Pei Yan pays so much attention to appearance. This is the first time that she has officially visited Pei's family's female relatives. She has to dress up well. This is also the respect Pei Laoan. It was just that the morning when she went to Pei's house, it suddenly rained and the weather was a bit gloomy. She deliberately chose a silver-red persimmon stalk pattern inlaid with tender yellow gussets, a white stand-up collar coat, with lotus-sized pearls as buttons, which coincided with the pair of pearl earrings on her ears. , And wearing a pair of bright yellow double lotus on the head. The dressed-up Yu Tang is even more slender, and his skin is as light as snow, which brightens the dim hall.

Granny Chen kept praising: "Our young lady has to dress up well, you see, this dress really looks like a fairy descending from the earth."

The Chen pursed his lips and smiled, obviously agreeing with what Mrs. Chen said.

Yu Tang looked at the powdered herself in the mirror, and was in a daze for a moment.

She had never dressed up like this in her previous life, and she had never had the opportunity to look in the mirror as carefully as she does now. She did not expect that she was really pretty. It's no wonder that the previous life Gu Xi knew that after Li Duan was wrong about her, every time she looked at her, the eyes were a bit jealous in addition to hatred.

But the love of beauty is a woman's nature.

She is well-dressed, and she is happy to see it, not to mention being someone else.

Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, Yu Tang saw her mother put rose-colored mouth grease on her, and felt that her face became more white.

She raised her head and smiled at her mother.

The Chen touched her head lovingly, and said warmly, "The sedan chair is ready, so remember to be cautious when you go in. If Lao An has rewarded something, you will be generous. Next, it's a big deal for us. I'll pay the courtesy later. If you ask me, you will have one for one, and two for two. It's better to make people feel honest and deceitful than slick and frivolous. Do you know?"

Yu Tang nodded again and again, and water appeared in his eye sockets.

In the previous life, my mother failed to live to the time to teach her this.

In this life, she is protected by her mother and father and brother, and she will be able to go smoothly.

She hugged her mother's waist, afraid of rubbing the powder on her clothes, did not dare to bury her head in her mother's arms, but gently leaned against her.

Chen also urged Shuangtao: "In the burden is the lady's change of clothes and jewelry, you have to look at it carefully. Don't let the Pei family even make a joke when the lady is about to change clothes. Don't talk less and listen more. Look more, since you followed the young lady into Pei's mansion, it is the face of the young lady, and the face of our Yu family. If you do something wrong, you will say that you are the Yu family instead of you Shuangtao."

"I know!" Shuang Tao almost swore, and said with a sullen face, "I will definitely not let the Pei family look down upon it."

Yu Tang said: "Don't be nervous, you can go to Pei's house as you usually do. Treating people with sincerity is the best."

Shuangtao promised, but still didn't let go, on the contrary, he was more nervous than before.

Yu Tang laughed and was protected by Atie, and took Shuangtao to Pei's house.

Because it was to meet Pei Lao'an, the sedan chair stopped all the way to Chuhuamen.

The one who came to greet her was actually an acquaintance-she had received her auntie Ji when she came to pay homage to Grandpa Pei.

Aunt Ji and the shopkeeper Tong are still in-laws.

Yu Tang felt even more cordial when she looked at it.

She yelled "Miss Ji" sweetly.

Aunt Ji was standing solemnly, her mouth curled slightly when she saw her. When she heard Yu Tang calling her, she couldn't help but smiled and whispered: "Miss Yu, you come with me."

"Yeah!" Yu Tang responded and couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Ji, are you working as a errand in Lao An's house now?"

Aunt Ji nodded and said, "After the old lady passed away, Lao An let some people out. My family has worked in Pei’s house for several generations, so I must stay in Pei’s mansion. Lao An asked me to work in her old man’s house. A lady in charge."

In other words, because of serving Lao An, the young and old of the Pei family had to respect her when they saw her.

"Oh! Congratulations!" Yu Tang was happy for her.

Aunt Ji smiled at her, thinking that the lady of the Yu family was really good tempered. She always smiled without talking and acting kindly, which made people happy when she looked at it. She was much better tempered than the ladies in the family.

No wonder the third master always mentioned this Miss Yu in front of Lao An, intentionally or unintentionally, and let them, who served by their side, encouraged Lao An to pick up Miss Yu to play in the house.

Lao An would definitely like it.

Yu Tang felt that a quarter of an hour's journey had passed in the blink of an eye because there were people who were familiar with him.

They stopped in front of a large five-room house, standing in front of the black lacquered window muffled with white silk and waiting, their own little maid lifted the white brocade plywood curtain and went in.

Soon there was a fat white lady wearing camphor bijia came out to greet her with a smile: "Miss Yu, right? I am Aunt Chen in Lao An's house. Lao An has been waiting for you, so follow me. Go in."

Yu Tang saw that the woman was wearing a gold bracelet with a thick lotus stem on her hand, guessing that she was probably the faceless woman in Lao An's room, smiled and thanked, and followed her into the room.

It hadn't come to the winter season, the fire in Lao An's house was already burning, and a burst of heat rushed towards him, and Yu Tang immediately sweated on his forehead.

Aunt Ji reminded her hurriedly: "Give me the cloak, just ask me when I leave."

Yu Tang took off his cloak in a hurry, and followed Aunt Chen into the second room in the east.

The second room and the second room on the east side were opened, and it was a two-room open hall. The Duobao Pavilion, which is close to the wall, is full of books, and in the center is an Luohan bed with scarlet mats. On the left side of the Luohan bed is a large blue and white porcelain jar with water lilies and koi carps. In front of the jar stands a woman wearing a cyan silk-faced coat. She is tall and slender, with jet-black hair. She has a sweet spot on her hands. A small white porcelain bowl is feeding the fish in the tank.

Several maids lowered their eyebrows and stood silently in the corner. When Yu Tang came in, they didn't notice.

"It's the young lady from the Yu family here!" The woman who heard the movement turned around.

Yu Tang was shocked.

The woman looked five or six points similar to Pei Yan, her eyes were piercing, bright and a little sharp. When she looked at her, she seemed to be able to see all of her internal organs clearly, which made people feel nothing in front of her. The shuddered trembling.

This is Lao An Pei? !

The corners of Yu Tang's mouth opened slightly, and his expression looked a little silly.

With this momentum, although there are fine lines on the corners of his eyes and forehead, it looks at most forty years old. It doesn't look like he has a son as old as Master Pei, let alone an old lady who lives in widowhood.

How did she do it? !

Yu Tang felt that he was still a widow at the beginning, and he did not have the energy and understanding of Pei Lao'an.

Pei Laoan smiled when he looked at it.

It was really interesting.

No wonder his son had calculated secretly to call this little girl into the mansion to accompany her.

The maid beside her looked happy, but she didn’t know when it was true and when it was fake. The little maidservants in the house were born well and spoke eloquently, but they were too good at winking. Want to flatter her and still hold her own identity. It's not as good as the maid around me that makes people feel brisk.

Lao An handed the small bowl on his hand to the little maid next to him, took the hot kerchief that Aunt Chen handed over, wiped his hands, and said, "Sit down and talk!"
