Miss Wu breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Gu Xi: "She is not afraid to offend the people of the Pei family by eating the bowl and looking at the pot like this, so Miss Xu went back to the capital again, is the truth at both ends?"

Gu Xi glanced at Miss Wu, did not say a word, but scolded Miss Wu **** in her heart.

Pei Yan is also in Hangzhou City. Who knows whether Yu Tang accompanied Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang, or went to "encounter" Pei Yan?

But whether it was the former or the latter, she felt very uncomfortable.

This Yu Tang jumped up and down, also quite powerful.

Does she want to marry to Pei's house?

However, I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

There is a world of difference between a wife and a concubine.

I just hope that she won't cry when that happens.

Gu Xi was slandering inside, but Yu Tang, Miss Xu, and Mrs. Yang were escorted by Pei Qi and had already returned to Lin'an City.

Yu Tang thought about making an appointment with Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang to stay at home for one night, and then take a boat to Hangzhou City tomorrow morning.

Hu Xing, who accompanied them down the mountain, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Yu Tang with a smile, and said: "Miss don't have to be so troublesome. The boat is ready, and it stops at Tiaoxi Wharf. Get on the boat at this time, sleep for a night, and arrive early tomorrow morning. Hangzhou City is here, so there is no delay."

This is the correct mode of travel for the rich.

Yu Tang blushed slightly.

Miss Xu relieved her and said with a smile: "I know you want to invite us to be a guest at home, but I'm afraid that Brother Yin is already waiting for us in Hangzhou City. Forget it this time, we must bother when we come to Lin'an next time. Just a few days, don’t bother us when you arrive."

Yu Tang kept saying "Don't dare" and didn't enter the house. As the mule cart of Pei's house arrived at the dock, the little servants of Pei's family rushed up to help them unload the cages, while Yu Tang was carried in by Qing Yuan. Up the cabin.

What the Pei family sent was a ship with seven cabins, which was considered one of the best in Lin'an, but Yu Tang had been to Hangzhou City and saw a ship larger than this there, so he didn’t look around. Go directly to the cabin arranged for her.

Qingping and Qinglian fetched water for Yu Tang to come in. Shuangtao reached out to pick it up, but was avoided by Qingping. She smiled and said, "Sister Shuangtao also go down and rest. Here, Qinglian and I will serve first. Sister Tao will accompany the young lady again."

The seven cabins are all suites, with a large room, a small room, and a storage room. The small room is Yu Tang's room, and the large room is the reception room. The on-duty maid lives on the bed in the small room or the Luohan bed in the reception room, and usually rests in the cabin on the second floor.

Shuang Tao felt that she hadn't done anything these days, and smiled: "Why don't I come to serve the young lady, who of you should go to rest first?"

Qingping smiled and said: "Sister Shuangtao is the person next to Miss. It is the first time that Miss spends the night on the boat. It would be better to have someone familiar with her by her side."

Double peach shame.

The Yu family is not so particular, and Yu Tang has never enjoyed such care.

But she felt that what Qingping said was reasonable, and she was not polite, and said to Qingping and Qinglian, "Thank you, then", and went to rest.

Qing Ping and Qing Lian served Yu Tang and changed their clothes. Qing Yuan came in and said, "I made eight-treasure duck, steamed fish, and scallop soup in the evening. I fried two seasonal vegetables, a dessert, and a small wonton for supper in the evening. , Miss, let’s see if there is anything to add or subtract? Are they eating in the house or with Ms. Xu and Mrs. Yang."

Everyone was a little tired on the way, Yu Tang smiled and said, "I am going to have dinner in my room. See what Ms. Xu and Mrs. Yang mean, and then make arrangements."

She found that Qingyuan is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. As long as she tells Qingyuan what she wants to do, Qingyuan can do the details well. Just like this time, when she said she wanted to eat dinner in her own room, Qingyuan would politely and rudely pass on her meaning to Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San, so that they felt that they were eating in their own rooms. Is the best.

This kind of talent is not necessarily as good as Qing Yuan even if some masters are in charge.

It can be seen that all the great talents have gone to the big clan like Pei's Mansion.

Of course, it took a lot of effort to train such a big maid.

Qing Yuan smiled and went away.

Yu Tang didn't spend any more supper at night, lying in the shaky cabin, and arrived in Hangzhou early the next morning.

It was Tong Er's shopkeeper who came to pick them up.

Yu Tang immediately stepped forward to greet Tong Er's shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper Tong Er saw her very kindly, and smiled and praised her that she "grew up" and looked more and more like Yu Wen.

Yu Tang thanked him.

The shopkeeper Tong Er went to say hello to Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang, and took them to Meijiaqiao.

Yu Tang asked Qingyuan quietly: "Why live in Meijiaqiao?"

The Pei family also has its own house in Hangzhou, and the house in Meijiaqiao is Pei Yan's private house.

Qing Yuan didn't know, and said: "When I see Pei Qi and ask him. However, the house on the Meijiaqiao side has a very nice view, and there are many plum trees planted. When Mrs. Qian is here, he often entertains the capital. The elders were also rated as the top ten residences in the south of the Yangtze River by people from the capital. Later, Mrs. Qian went to Hexian, and the house on the Meijiaqiao side became vacant. It hasn’t been a guest for many years. Miss this time It's a worthwhile trip to be able to go, just to go and see!"

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly.

Qingyuan told her: "The house of the third master on Meijiaqiao is famous for its flowers and trees, the house on Qingbomen is famous for its night view of the lake, and the other courtyard on the Phoenix Mountain is the most beautiful. It looks good. It’s not like Pei’s old house in Hangzhou, which is located on Xiaohe Royal Street. Although it is convenient to travel, it has no special features.

Yu Tang was a little strange.

Doesn't Pei Yan dislike flowers and plants?

Is it because they are female dependents that they are arranged to live in Meijiaqiao?

But when she arrived at Meijiaqiao, she saw Pei Yan before she had time to take a closer look at the house that took up half a street.

He was standing at the gate of the house, wearing a moon-white hanging silk and bamboo leaf obscure pattern, embellished with a azure purse, his eyebrows were erect, his posture was straight, and he stood there quietly, as beautiful as a picture. painting.

Is he... waiting for her here...

Yu Tang felt hot in her heart and felt hot on her face.

Pei Qi hurriedly ran towards Pei Yan and whispered a few words in his ear.

Pei Yan walked over and bowed to Mrs. Yang, who had just got off the carriage, and said: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I was going to see the prince, so I can only wait for me to come back from the prince and give it to you. I've washed the dust." After speaking, he took a look at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, thinking that it was fortunate that he was a human for two lives, otherwise he would be unable to hold back his true thoughts.

She lowered her head.

Mrs. Yang took Miss Xu and gave a blessing to Pei Yan.

Yu Tang also followed suit.

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "I said I was looking for an inn in Hangzhou to rest, but Lao An refused to agree, but was disrespectful. I'm bothering you!"

"You are polite." Pei Yan exchanged a few words "stay with peace of mind" with Mrs. Yang San, Miss Xu, and Yu Tang, saying that the time to make a promise with Wang Qi was almost here, and got in the carriage and left.

Miss Xu immediately became a lot more lively, and she took Yu Tang's arm and said, "We will live together. This house is very big at first glance. If it is too far away, there will be no one to speak."

When you arrive in a strange place, of course it is better to have a company.

She smiled and agreed.

Tong Er's shopkeeper took them to the hospital where they were hospitalized.

Yu Tang is going to live with Miss Xu, but who knows that Tong Er, the shopkeeper, said that Yu Tang had already arranged a place for Yu Tang. Although it was next to the yard where Miss Xu lived, it was a five-wide yard with a main house, and she felt a little empty.

Qing Yuan thought it was just right, and pointed to the three wing rooms on the east and west sides: "Here is a study room, and there is a room for Shuangtao sister and the person on duty. You have to put some things in the back seat. Well, I see it's a little bit smaller."

Yu Tang couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "We are just staying temporarily for a few days."

Qing Yuan said: "Then you can't wrong yourself!"

Yu Tang was speechless.

She didn't feel wronged.

However, since everyone has arranged it, she will change places, and Qingyuan and the others will have to clean up the yard for her, which is even more troublesome.

Yu Tang also settled down in peace.

At noon, she had lunch with Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang.

After lunch, Mrs. Yang went to take a lunch break, and Miss Xu energetically pulled Yu Tang to stroll around the house.

Yu Tang wanted to see too, so accompanied by Qingping and Qinglian, they walked slowly along the veranda in the house.

Miss Xu looked up at the Baolian Lantern painted on the top of the veranda and other pictures, smiled and said to Yu Tang: "Our mansion in the north has built such verandas and painted such blue-green pictures. I didn't expect it to be here. You can also meet the mansion. This veranda must be built after the mansion in the north."

Qingping heard this and smiled and said: "Miss Xu is really amazing. The verandas in this house were all added later. I heard that it was raining heavily in Hangzhou some years, and it hasn't stopped for two months. Old Mrs. Qian found it inconvenient. , These verandas were added. Along these verandas, you can stroll around the house seven or eighty eight!"

Miss Xu smiled and nodded, and asked Qingping if she knew how Meilin was going.

It can be seen that she has also heard of this house.

Qingping accompanied them to see Merlin.

There are more than ten acres in the plum grove. The plum trees are bare and not so beautiful after the plum blossom season. But the small bridge next to the river and the warm pavilion bamboo forest are very pleasing to the eye.

Miss Xu said: "The scenery on both sides of the veranda is still beautiful. The flowers bloom on one wall and the other, and the trees grow one by one. Not to mention the spaciousness and sparseness, it is also very big. Unlike ordinary gardens, it is very delicate and everywhere. Taihu Stone is elegant, but I feel a little bit cramped after seeing it too much."

Yu Tang smiled.

The two people strolled around the house for half an hour, but the veranda seemed out of sight, not knowing where it was winding. It was Miss Xu, who was a little lost, and asked Qingping, "Do you remember the way back?"

Qingping smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, just call a maid on duty."

But they didn't meet a few maids along the way.

Ms. Xu curled her mouth and said to Yu Tang: "I said the house is big, isn't it? It's like our house, you can see the brothers and sisters in the house when you go out, it's so lively, how nice."

That's because the Pei family is not prosperous, right?

If Pei Yan has seven or eight brothers, would he still worry about the space in his house?

Yu Tang thought wildly, found a passing maid to lead the way, and returned to the yard where they lived.
