When Gu Xi heard this, she still didn't realize who was talking to Lao An, and when she heard a clean and pleasant voice, she realized that it was Yu Tang who was talking to Lao An.

Although she knew it shouldn't, she couldn't help but listen.

"Don't say that, Lao An, you're damaging me." Yu Tang said embarrassedly, "No merit is not allowed. I was just a momentary strange, but I didn't expect to cause trouble to the third master. I, I really am. Ashamed."

What she said was the truth.

Maybe it was because she sent Shuangtao to ask about Aming's cloak. Aming reported to Pei Yan, and Pei Yan simply told Lao An about the matter and asked Lao An to explain it to him.

This is the conversation before.

Pei Yan is magnanimous, but she seems to be afflicted.

She was a little shameless to see Pei Yan again.

Lao An also felt that Yu Tang had made a fuss. However, Yu Tang is a little girl who lives in someone else's house, so it should be more cautious.

She said: "It's good if you don't take it to heart. I have already taught him, let him tell me something later on. I am fine now. If he has something to help me, I will just pass the time. Can't ask for it!"

Lao An was a clan wife before, and her family affairs ranged from weddings and funerals to the quarrels between concubines and concubines who would find her here. She was very busy every day, and all three sons were brought up by nursing mothers. , Now that she suddenly came down, she was really not used to it.

Only Pei Yan knows that she is lonely, so that the little girls at home often come to play with her.

It's a pity that some of the little girls were too young to speak with each other, so Yu Tang was invited to the mansion again.

Yu Tang didn't know the reasons, only when Lao An was comforting her, he was even more confident in his heart, thinking about how to say a few words of apology, but suddenly a lady Ji's voice came from outside: "Miss Gu, you are here! "

Gu Xi was listening attentively, and was suddenly questioned. Her heart panicked. She inevitably felt a little bewildered on her face. She hurriedly said, "I just arrived. Somehow, I didn't see half of the servant girl along the way, and I felt strange. Then, to see what was going on, the auntie came in." While she was talking, her heart gradually settled, and a smile appeared on her mouth. She asked, "When did the auntie come here? I thought it was in the yard. No one!"

Pei Yan just left.

Prior to this, Lao An had dismissed all the people serving around him.

It's a coincidence that Auntie Ji is only Gu Xi here. Without thinking, she smiled and said, "I also saw Miss Gu here from a distance." Then, "Are you here to greet Lao An? You wait. In a moment, I will give you a report."

Lao An had already heard the conversation outside, and was not hypocritical, and said loudly: "Is it Miss Gu?! Please come in and sit down."

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How dare you call me when you ask me." He walked in with a smile.

Yu Tang got up to meet her, and the two of them sat down beside Lao An.

Gu Xi angrily said to Yu Tang, "Why didn't you call me when you came over? It made me wait for you in the house for a long time."

Yu Tang has a lot of experience in dealing with Gu Xi. She smiled and said: "Then I will remember to make an appointment with you next time."

Don't say much about this matter.

Gu Xi seemed to hit the cotton with a punch, and he couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring, and began to face Yu Tang squarely.

Yu Tang was so familiar with her expressions and small movements, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

She and Gu Xi really have no fate!

He was a concubine in the previous life, and Li Duan was unrighteous. There was no way. She was so far apart in this life, and she tried to avoid Gu Xi as much as possible. Why was Gu Xi staring at her?

Yu Tang was a little unhappy in her heart.

In her previous life, Gu Xi was to keep her husband's heart. She could understand that in this life, she and Gu Xi did not have any hatred of taking their husbands and killing their fathers. Can Gu Xi have committed this?

Yu Tang sneered in his heart, and was no longer willing to bear and avoid.

She lowered her head and drank tea, thinking that if Gu Xi dared to provoke her, she wouldn't mind giving Gu Xi a lesson.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the young ladies and second wives of the Pei Mansion to come over to greet them. For a while, the hall was full of joy and laughter, and it was so lively that all the careful thoughts of Yu Tang and Gu Xi were lost.

But when Yu Tang returned to the house, Shuang Tao could not help but ask her in a low voice: "Are we really going to see Lao An with Miss Gu later?"

The fourth lady still didn't give up, and today she still clamored to go barbecue. Lao An agreed, and everyone made an appointment to go to the centuries-old locust tree in the back garden in the afternoon to barbecue. So everyone had lunch with Lao An, and went back to the room for lunch.

Yu Tang smiled casually: "Just say that, can't you take it seriously?"

Shuangtao was dumbfounded.

Yu Tang smiled and pulled the thin quilt to his chest, closed his eyes, and said, "Sleep!"

Shuangtao had to retreat calmly.

Yu Tang was thinking about the second lady.

Gu Xi is obviously trying to win over the second lady. I don't know what is worthy of Gu Xi's plot in the second lady?

She was circling around the second lady this morning.

There is also Pei Yan, I would actually misunderstand him... Yu Tang's face was hot.

What a shame!

Do you just pretend that nothing happened? Or should I apologize to Pei Yan?

Yu Tang stared in a daze, wondering when he fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that the sun was already westward.

How could this be? !

Yu Tang was shocked and shouted "Shuang Tao" repeatedly.

Shuangtao trot in and said, "Miss, what's the matter with you?"

Yu Tang sank his face and said, "What time is it now?"

Shuang Tao grinned and said: "Miss, you don't know anything. When you fell asleep, the lady Ji in Lao An's room came here specially and said that there was something Lao An had in the afternoon, so that the ladies didn't have to go to say hello I see you are asleep, so I didn’t wake you up. I was thinking about waiting for some ladies from Pei’s house to have a barbecue. I never thought that the ladies from Pei’s house didn’t come over this afternoon. I’m afraid so. The young ladies forgot to call you, and specially invited the catkins to ask them. As a result, the young ladies were held at home by the second wife to practice calligraphy in the afternoon, and they did not go to the barbecue at all."

Yu Tang was surprised: "How could this be?"

Shuangtao looked around and saw that there was no one else beside him. Then he approached Yu Tang's ear and said, "I heard that it was someone from Beijing. The old house that went first, the third master is not there, so the second master will accompany you. I went up the mountain. For fear of bumping into the distinguished guests, the female relatives in the inner courtyard were all detained and not let out."

Yu Tang was panicked.

What kind of people come to the door to make the female relatives in Pei's house avoid?

She thought for a while and asked Shuangtao: "What is Miss Gu doing this afternoon?"

Gu Xi has always been better informed than her, and inferring from her whereabouts is the simplest way she can think of whether someone from Beijing is good or bad.

Shuangtao said, "I'm embroidering in the house with Miss Er!"

"Have you been embroidering?" Yu Tang was a little surprised.

Shuangtao nodded and said, "Hexiang walked around in the past and didn't go out this afternoon."

In other words, the identity of the visitor is really honorable. At least it can shock Gu Xi.

Who is so majestic?

Yu Tang didn't have a clue after guessing for a long time, so he simply put the matter down, thinking about finding an opportunity to ask Lao An directly.

Everyone also ate dinner at their respective residences.

The news came out early in the morning of the next day.

The visitor is Zhang Shao, the eldest son of Zhang Ying.

A few days ago, he was appointed governor of Jiangxi. This time, he made a special transfer to visit Pei Yan on his way to take office in Jiangxi.

But shouldn't it be avoided by all the women in the family?

Yu Tang felt that Zhang Shao's intention was not simple.

She asked Aunt Ji who came to give her hairpins: "Are you afraid that we might bump into Master Zhang?"

"No!" Aunt Ji smiled, "Zhang's family and our family are good friends. Master Zhang came over and talked to Lao An for a long time. Dinner is also used in Lao An's house, so it's not good. Invite a few young ladies over."

really? !

The relationship between the Zhang family and Pei family is really very good.

Only a teacher-student friendship cannot explain this kindness!

Yu Tang pressed his doubts to the bottom of his heart, picked a yellow camellia in bud, and smiled: "Does the other courtyard have a greenhouse?"

Aunt Ji smiled and said, "There is a greenhouse, right next to Meilin. If the lady wants to go, she can tell me in advance. There are a few orchids of the older lady, and the older lady often goes to the greenhouse to plant flowers and plants."

Yu Tang responded with a smile, rewarded Auntie Ji with a red envelope, and personally sent Auntie Ji out.

Shuang Tao asked in confusion: "Why do you want to reward Auntie? Auntie Ji also takes good care of us."

In addition to learning the rules from the catkins, she was also observing how Aunt Ji and Aunt Chen treated people.

Yu Tang thinks this is a good thing and encourages her very much. If she has any incomprehension in her heart, she will ask straightforwardly.

She taught her softly: "Did you hear anything from Lady Ji?"

Shuangtao thought for a while, then shook his head.

Yu Tang said: "She is telling me not to go to the greenhouse casually."

Shuangtao said "Ah".

They have lived in the other courtyard for several days, and have never seen the old lady again except that day.

It can be seen that the relationship between the old lady and Lao An is not very good, as it was said outside. Since she came into the house because of Lao An, it's better not to deal with the old lady.

Shuangtao woke up.

Yu Tang can get news here, and Gu Xi can get news too. Unlike Yu Tang's calmness and calmness, Gu Xi was indecisive and undecided.

Pei Jiaran and Zhang's family are good friends.

No wonder her brother wanted to marry her to Pei Yan.

Needless to say, Zhang Shao’s father, Zhang Ying, his great-uncle was once an emperor, and his grandfather used to be a bachelor of Wuyingdian, the first assistant in the cabinet, and a capable official of celebrity history. Another younger brother is now serving as Shaoqing in Dali Temple, and a cousin is serving as the head of the staff. It can be said that the Zhang family is one of the most prominent official families in this dynasty.

This made her feel excited.

But she had been here for so long, Lao An looked good at talking, but she didn't accomplish anything she wanted to do.

The most appropriate way is not to participate in the internal fighting of the Pei family.

It's just that she is running out of time.

Chinese New Year is coming soon.

She can't really stay at Pei's New Year's Day, right?

The old lady often goes to the greenhouse, and the old lady is at odds with Lao An. Should she take advantage of this?

Gu Xi paced back and forth in the room.
