Listening to Yu Tang's question, Miss Xu raised her eyebrows triumphantly, but waved her hand in a careless manner, and said: "Oh, we are also ordinary officials. There were a few competent officials when the ancestors and great ancestors. , Now, that is, there are a few uncles who are hanging around in the DPRK."

This is not like a mess!

Yu Tang pursed his mouth and smiled, thinking that she wanted to ask more deeply, wondering if Miss Xu would feel offensive, he inevitably hesitated for a moment, and there was a brief silence between the two.

After all, Miss Xu is young, she can't calm down, and she is worried that Pei Laoan will see them soon. She has no chance to talk to Yu Tang like this again, so she becomes anxious and said: "Our hometown is in Nanzhili. , Speaking of it, the second wife of the Pei Mansion is still the same town. However, our family moved to the capital in my great-grandfather's generation. Although we knew the second wife of the Pei Mansion, they didn't have much contact with each other."

She thought that when she said so, Yu Tang would definitely be able to think of who their family was.

Because at this time, even if you are an official outside, you will have to return to your place of origin after your official duties, unless you have made great achievements and are given to live in the capital.

And meeting this condition, when the dynasty was founded, the only family named Xu was their family.

She has shown off her family history in a low-key manner.

But Yutang is the one who doesn't know.

But she was clever, knowing that Miss Xu was embarrassed to brag about herself. In fact, she had already told her the origin of the Xu family.

Miss Xu is a very interesting girl, and Yu Tang kind of likes her character, thinking that even if she asked her carefully at this time, someone who knows the family tree should explain some things. Seeing Miss Xu’s eyebrows were flying, it seemed that everyone knew what their Xu family was like. She was stubborn and suddenly wanted to tease Miss Xu, making a look that she didn’t understand, and "Oh" without changing her face. After a cry, he was surprised: "It's so complicated! Young Master Yang's stepmother is relatives with your family, and your family is relatives with Li and Peng's family. Now they are also old acquaintances with the second wife's natal family... I also heard that Yang The son's stepmother and Pei Lao'an are also relatives." She said, looking at Miss Xu admiringly, "If I change this, I'm afraid I don't even know how to call each other."

Miss Xu's big eyes flickered again.

Shouldn't Sister Yu express a few words of admiration for their Xu family? How did you suddenly clean up the relatives of each family?

Yu Tang looked at Miss Xu’s appearance and finally managed to hold back a smile, and continued to speak nonsense seriously: "Your family is from Nanzhili, that is to say, near Jiangnan, your family, Yang family and Qian family are relatives of me. Not surprisingly, why did your clan sister marry to Fujian again? Did your clan sister's family move to Fujian?"

Miss Xu was too anxious, and said hurriedly: "No, no. There are people in the Peng family and our family who are serving as officials. My sister’s father-in-law and my second uncle are in the same department. Later, we worked as officials in Luoyang together. Married."

Yu Tang refused to let her continue, and immediately interrupted her when she heard this, and said: "I know that Mrs. Pei is from the Yang family, and the second lady of the Pei family is also named Yang. I don’t know the eldest wife’s. Is there any relationship between the natal family and Miss Pei Er’s in-law’s family? I heard that Yang’s family is also a big family, presumably the eldest wife’s family is also a wealthy family? When the former fifth lady asked me to teach her to make silk flowers, I thought the second wife’s family was just There are brothers serving as officials in Jinling, but I think the second wife is not an ordinary person, right?"

Ms. Xu glanced at her, with an expression of "Who are you listening to nonsense" and said: "How can the eldest wife's family be compared with the Tonglu Yang family? Tonglu Yang family ancestor once had a first-class senior, they The first three generations of the Yang family in Dingyuan were nothing more than silk merchants, but they pretended to be a family of scholars and became officials. It was also a matter of two or three generations. This was also a marriage with the Pei family and gained the support of the Pei family. Going so smoothly!" At this point, she showed the excitement of talking to Yu Tang about gossip, and whispered to Yu Tang: "Let me tell you, don't look at the appearance of the big lady, who is also a sacrifice to the restaurant. The female son of, in fact, is not very good at reading. When she was in Beijing, there was a Zhang family's flower viewing party and the drinking order, she reluctantly passed it every time. Later, she really couldn’t say it, and she pretended to be drunk. It was seen through. She was able to marry the elder of the Pei family because of her face. So my dad didn’t look at their elder in that way..."

The implication is that the old lady is a little stupid.

Yu Tang knew more in just two quarters of an hour than her two lives combined.

She chuckled, it was really hard to comment on the old lady, and said: "Green vegetables and carrots, each has their own love, no one can say this kind of thing clearly."

Yu Tang felt that what she said was very high-sounding, and she couldn't find anything wrong. Who knew that her voice had just fallen off, and Miss Xu was even more energetic, and said: "So you know this too!"

what's up? !

Yu Tang was a little dazed, not knowing where he had touched Miss Xu again, Miss Xu was already whispering: "I once heard my mother and Aunt Zhang say that Mrs. Pei's appearance is dignified and solemn, and unbreakable. In private, I'll be acting like a baby. I have to go back a few more steps and tell Master Pei's feet that my feet hurt. My mother said, it's no wonder she can have a smooth life."

But without her husband, her life started to be difficult!

Yu Tang felt that he was a bit too much to say such a thing at this time, so he followed Miss Xu with an "um", but he thought about Pei Yan in his heart.

The Li family has done this, why didn't Pei Yan agree to the Li family's marriage?

Is the lady from the Li family looking too ordinary? Or is it bad temper?

But if you can play well with Miss Xu, it shouldn't be the case.

She couldn't help saying: "Is the young lady from the Li family beautiful?"

Miss Xu didn’t react for a while, she was half emotional and half helpless and said: "Do you know why my mother is talking about the eldest wife of the Pei family? Because my older brother is also the same as the eldest master of the Pei family. A woman with no face. My mother was afraid that her two grandchildren would be like Mrs. Pei’s son, so she raised my two nephews under her knees...for this, big brother I'm not less affected by the splintering of my mother and my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is an offshoot of the Li family!

This little girl, dare to say anything!

Yu Tang didn't know what to say.

Ms. Xu misunderstood that Yu Tang didn’t understand, and said anxiously, “Do you know that Master Li was their class of investigators? When he was in Chunwei, he was in the 30th place. Their Li family is not the most famous one. Lord Li, the old patron, is a famous beauty!"

Is there such a thing? !

Why didn't Pei Yan agree?

If it were someone else, he would definitely think that Pei Yan had a bad head. Yu Tang believed in Pei Yan very much. She felt that there must be other inside stories about Pei Yan and the Li family.

It's just that she doesn't know if there is a chance to know this inside story.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Tang was a little surprised.

However, Miss Xu knows so much.

If she wants to know the family tree, maybe she really has to listen to Miss Xu.

Yu Tang had a correct attitude, and was about to ask her a few words, when he saw the second wife who had finished delivering the guests, leading Aunt Ji to the teahouse.

This is to invite them to see Pei Lao'an.

The two of them stood up hurriedly, adjusted their dresses, and quickly walked into the tea room.

The second wife really came to invite them to drink tea. Seeing Yu Tang and Miss Xu coming in from the outside, not only did not doubt, but also asked them with concern: "Where did this go? I found a few rose flowers planted in the backyard of this yard. It's pretty good, you can go there and have a look when you are free."

Both of them were quite guilty of conscience, where they dared to say more, respectfully answering "yes", and followed the elders to Pei Lao'an.

The windows of the main hall were wide open, and the breeze came slowly, and the room was cool.

Pei Laoan was leaning on the big welcome pillow of the Arhat bed, his expression was kind, his eyes were smiling, he seemed comfortable and carefree, and he couldn't see that the second wife ran away from here not long ago.

"Did you sleep well yesterday?" Pei Laoan asked kindly, "Let you wait a long time. Did Mrs. Ji make good tea to entertain you?"

"Not only tea is good, but snacks are also good." Chen smiled slightly.

She was older than Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang humbly asked the Chen family to return to Pei Lao'an on their behalf.

Not to mention anything else, based on this demeanor, you can also see that the Yin family is extraordinary.

Everyone chatted for a while, and several old Anren, his wife, young lady and young lady from Pei's Mansion also came over.

Everyone exchanged greetings again.

Yu Tang saw Mrs. Pei's family.

She was supported by a very beautiful maid, unsmiling.

The female relatives of Pei's family also excluded her intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't talk to her much.

Yu Tang secretly remembered it in his heart.

When everyone sat down again, Pei Lao'an sent someone to invite the incompetent monk who had been invited from the South Shaolin Temple.

He was a dark-skinned, skinny Pentecostal man. He wore a very ordinary gray coarse cloth monk robe. His expression was serious, his speech was concise, his voice was loud and deafening, and he shocked all the women present.

Yu Tang thinks that everyone can hear his lectures more clearly.

Before the incompetence, he knew Pei Laoan’s intentions. He didn’t say much. First, he told everyone a short story about Buddhist scriptures. Then the little novice monk with him took several amulets on a tray for them to choose. The blessing meeting is scheduled for tomorrow noon: "It's a small puja, and it can be finished in an hour and a half. Today, you need all the ladies and ladies to wash, fast and fast for one day."

Everyone naturally said "yes" one after another, and took the amulet given by incompetence and looked at it carefully.

Incompetent, he took the little novice to bid farewell.

Everyone started to discuss whether to make the feast by themselves or ask Zhaoming Temple to do it tomorrow.

At this time, Yu Tang knew that the female family members of Pei Mansion had gone up the mountain and even the cook had taken them.

No wonder the third master wants them to follow the female relatives of Pei Mansion into the monastery.

Food and lodging are much more convenient!

Yu Tang was thankful in his heart.

People from the Wu clan of Huzhou also arrived at Zhaoming Temple at this time, and the female relatives of the Wu family sent a woman to send posts to Pei Lao'an.

Pei Laoan smiled and said: "Don't talk about so many rules in the temple, let them come in!"
