Yu Tang and his wife were talking and laughing, and decided to visit Tao Qing in advance.

Pei Yan asked Pei Wu to talk to Tao Qing in advance, and then helped Yu Tang onto the sedan chair and went to an inn near Tao's house near Xizhamen.

Tao Qing personally greeted them outside the door, and brought Yu Tang a lot of imported goods. Among them was a box about one foot tall. Tao Qing said it was a Western doll, which sold very well in Guangdong and Fujian. , And brought her one too.

I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Yu Tang smiled and thanked him, and accepted the gift, thinking about going back to the first one and unpacking it to see what this Western doll looks like.

Tao Qing talked to Pei Yan about Tao An, who was governor of Jiangxi as far away: "It can be considered that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Many of the decree that Mr. Zhang did not have time to implement before were completed by A'an. You can buy them. The farm also attracted many wealthy people nearby to buy farms and reclaim wasteland, which helped A'an a lot. A'an said that if nothing happens this year, Jiangxi will be a bumper year. When the time comes, go to Jiubian for food. He is more abundant, and his political achievements can go further anyway. And even if this year’s grain harvest is insufficient, I am prepared to send grain from Guangzhou so that A'an can safely take over the governorship of the past few years."

When the term of office expires, you can go to the prefectural court or the Dali Temple to be a chief officer without being a minister of scholarship.

Sealing the phase into the cabinet is just around the corner.

After thinking about it, Tao Qing felt that it was the right thing to come to Pei Yan. He couldn't help but sighed, and said to Pei Yan: "You are going to forget it? What did the old lady leave behind? If you can trust me, you can tell me well, maybe the old lady meant to only let you temporarily In charge of the clan house, it’s not always necessary to wait for the limelight to pass. You don’t want to go to the dark.

Pei Yan said: "If I don't believe Brother Brother, I won't bring people from my family to visit you like this. The old man really told me to stop being an official. He thinks that I am ambitious. I am afraid that I am young and energetic, deceived, and involved in the dispute between the heir and the king. I also think what the old man said makes sense-if I were an official in the capital, I still don't know how many people will be offended! "

Tao An directly said that it was a pity, and couldn't help but give him an idea: "It's not bad to live in the capital. Teach the children to study well, and you may not be able to do the'three scholars in one subject' again."

Pei Yan chuckled, not caring.

He and Yu Tang have been married for half a year, and Yu Tang hasn't moved yet. He thinks their offspring may be a little difficult.

However, there is nothing perfect in this world. If there is, there must be a big hole waiting for him in front. Instead of not knowing what will happen, it is better to live with Yu Tang slowly like this. The child should be there sometimes, and the child sometimes does not force it.

It is the best that their husband and wife can love each other.

Pei Yan said: "Are you coming to Beijing this time for the Longevity Festival next year?"

Tao Qing nodded and said, "I want to see if there are any opportunities." Then he said, "This time Lijia is also here. Their family is in the tea business. See if they can send their tea into the palace."

Pei Yan didn't care much about these business matters. The Pei family's business was all handed over to the general manager. In his opinion, people like them have many ways to make money, and they fight for profit with the people if they don't commit anything. Pei Yan helped decide a charter when the chief executive was undecided at most.

Yu Tang was thinking about it in his heart.

When she arrived in the capital, she discovered that people in the capital like to drink green tea.

The tea from the husband's house of the second wife of the previous life became a tribute.

It's just that she doesn't know when it was chosen.

Shouldn't she go and ask?

But this matter has to be discussed with Pei Yan, lest she is self-righteous and self-defeating.

They had lunch at Tao's family, accompanied by Tao Qing in the afternoon, went to Tao's grocery store in Beijing.

She saw Western dolls.

The open-chested skirt, the porcelain face, the color of the eyebrows and mouth are painted, green eyes, golden hair...it is really weird.

But it is also rare.

She bought one.

Tao Qing thought she liked it, and asked the shopkeeper to pack two for her, and gave her the only two dolls in the shop.

Yu Tang insisted on paying, saying that this was for a friend.

Tao Qing said with a smile: "I only brought five of them back this time. Gifts are a very good thing. It's rare that you like it. With the friendship between our two families, you don't need to be so polite."

Yu Tang glanced at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan nodded slightly towards her.

Yu Tang accepted it with a smile, and said thankful words, thinking about seeing what suits the Tao family in return in the future.

After that, she picked some fragrance dew, balm, powder and gem jewelry, most of which were intended to be given away.

Pei Yan did not accompany Yu Tang around, but was pulled by Tao Qing. He sat in the accounting room at the back and continued to talk about Jingzhong: "I heard that the Yang family went in this time? What are your family's plans? Let me tell you. , You can’t just watch them finish like this. Speaking of it, it’s your elder brother’s Yue family anyway. Your eldest brother is no longer there. You just want to take care of your two nephews’ faces.”

Pei Yan smiled, did not speak, bowed his head and took a sip of tea.

The night passed, and Pei Tong continued to fight Gu Xi and ignored Gu Xi.

Gu Xi doesn't care.

She slept almost all night last night, thinking about what Pei Yan and Pei Xuan said.

It is impossible to pick out this little family from this, so Pei Tong can only choose. With Pei Tong's character, he was afraid that the Yang family would play a card of tragic love. In case... Pei Tong is on the side of the Yang family, the Pei family will definitely not let go of the people in their room. What should she do then/

Gu Xi went to Pei Tong's study and asked her husband, "When are you going to meet your two uncles today?"

Pei Tong's face changed, and she said sharply: "What do you mean? Isn't it urging me to make a statement? Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Even if I want to help a foreigner, I will pick you out."

Gu Xi wanted to ask "How did you pick me out?" or "Why did you pick me out?" But as soon as this was said, their relationship between husband and wife would come to an end, right? She endured and endured, and finally smiled: "I'm going out the door-Mrs. Yin said that the kimchi I made was delicious two days ago. I gave some to Mrs. Yin and planned to take some to my wife. If you go to see your two uncles this morning, I will go another day. If you are going to see your two uncles in the afternoon, I will go there when you are fine in the morning. Lest my sister-in-law knows that I gave Mrs. Yin food. , But not thinking about her, I feel uncomfortable."

These family trivial wives have always been disdainful. After Pei You died, Pei Yan took over.

He felt that he had misunderstood Gu Xi, but let him lower his head to confess his mistake to Gu Xi. Thinking of Gu Xi's fuss yesterday, he still breathed in his heart and couldn't lower his head.

Gu Xi didn't think that he would bow her head, and to speak of it, they were nothing more than a good match between Qin and Jin.

Seeing that he didn't answer, she smiled and said, "Then I will go to my sister-in-law first. I will come back early and we will eat cold noodles at night."

No longer mentioning visiting Pei Yan and Pei Xuan.

Pei Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xi went to Gu Chang's house.

Gu Chang did not come back at the Yamen, only the Yin family was at home.

Gu Xi didn't expect to see her elder brother either. She told the Yin family what had happened at home one by one.

Yin frowned upon hearing this.

No matter how capable a woman is, she is afraid of encountering a husband-in-law who does not listen.

She said: "What are you going to do if your uncle really chooses the Yang family?"

You can't get away because of this, right?

If you are a family, you can only share the glory and disgrace.

Gu Xi smiled bitterly and said, "So I came to see Brother Brother, wanting to hear what he meant!"

The Yin family was not hypocritical, and said: "Okay, then you will talk to your brother later." She also left her for dinner.

Gu Xi shook her head straight and said, "I have to hurry back. It's an eventful time at home, so it's not easy to stay outside for too long. Just help me bring a message to Brother."

The Yin family responded and asked Gu Xi, "What do you mean by yourself? As a brother-in-law, we must be on your side to consider."

Gu Xi didn't want to run back and forth to her family's house for this matter, mainly because she might not be able to see Gu Chang even if she was not afraid of trouble running to her family's house.

She pondered: "I must be on Pei's side."

No matter what the Yang family said, she felt that it was unlikely that she would be convicted by the way of the Pei family. But if they were really convicted, the Yang family wouldn't have the ability to pick themselves clean. Anyway, life and death are tied to Pei's family, so she shouldn't go to Yang's family, and only wholeheartedly ask Bodhisattva to bless Pei's family.

Gu Xi said: "If he can't distinguish the priority at this critical moment, I guess it will be difficult to enjoy his blessing in the future. I think I should take the initiative to ask to return to Lin'an, instead of my mother-in-law and grandfather, to give Lao An's filial piety."

It is best to have a son.

With Pei Lao'an as shelter, and without this emotional husband, she might be able to live better at Pei's house.

Pei Lao'an was married into Pei's house by Shili Hongzhuang.

Gu Xi touched her unchanging belly.

Yin's decisiveness appreciated the sister-in-law's decisiveness, and said: "It would be great if you could think that way. People can only save themselves. Don't worry, I dare not say anything else. When that day comes, even if you have Pei family Take care, your brother and I will do our best."

Gu Xi achieved the goal, relieved his heart, and returned to Pei's mansion.

Pei Yan and Yu Tang hadn't come back yet, they said they had gone shopping.

Gu Xi was stunned, and he could put an egg in his mouth. It took a while to recover, and said, "The third uncle took the third uncle to the street like this."

Back, her mother-in-law came from Pei’s old house. She had served Pei Lao’an before. She was rather unhappy when she heard that, and said: "The third wife is still wearing a hat, and she is visiting the Tao’s shop. With the third master, why didn't he bring anything with him?"

"Oh." Gu Xi hurriedly caught the chaos, and talked to the woman wholeheartedly: "When did the third uncle and the third uncle say to be back?"

Yang family affairs, the sooner you solve the better.

She couldn't hold her breath.

If the Yang family's matter is not resolved, she is afraid that she will break out, jump her feet, and quarrel with Pei Tong again.
