Delicate Flower

Chapter 13 Pei’s

Which mother-in-law doesn’t like to hear people praise Grandpa!

Aunt Ji became more enthusiastic towards them, put down her precautions, and told them about the Pei family: “There are a lot of things in the family. There are three chief managers and seven managers. The chief manager is in charge of all things in the family, and the second manager is in charge. With regard to the general affairs and human relations in the mansion, the third chief is in charge of the account and the shopkeeper outside. Among the seven stewards, the chief steward follows the chief steward; the second steward and the third steward follow the second steward; the other four stewards follow the third steward. , Seven of them are in charge of the inner house. For example, I belong to the seven.

“As for the treasurer of Tong, their ancestors served the ancestors. Later, Pei Mansion was able to take root in Lin’an, and their family made a great contribution. The ancestors took the Tong family’s registration before returning to the west. But the ancestors of the Tong family. He is an acquainted person. Although he has released his book, he has not left. He also helps in charge of the pawnshop business. He is particularly decent and different from the servants next to him.” Yan proud.

As long as you live in Lin’an Prefecture, you will inevitably have to deal with Pei’s family more or less.

Today’s Yu family, whether it is to rebuild the shop or because of the painting, has a deeper relationship with the Pei family.

In the previous life, the third master of the Pei family became the suzerain.

Therefore, Yu Tang is not like Yu Wen or Chen who have a lot of speculation about this matter.

But the funeral of Mrs. Pei revealed too much information.

For example, if the merchants in Lin’an City have anything to do, they are asking for the chief manager; the third chief who should be in charge of business outside the city is responsible for the funeral of Mr. Pei; the second chief who should stand up to help the funeral. But don’t know what you are doing?

How did the third master of the Pei family be the suzerain?

What happened during this period?

Are the three chief executives dedicated to Lord Pei at this time, or are they all in their own minds?

So who is the third master of Pei’s family? Who is on the side of the long room again?

Even though Yu Tang married to the Li family in his previous life, he didn’t know much about the Pei family because he was trapped in the back house.

In my previous life, I have never heard anyone criticize the three masters.

It seems that as soon as he appeared in Pei’s house, he was already covering the sky with one hand, and the whole family obeyed, no one dared to object.

She didn’t want the Yu family to be involved in this incident of the Pei family.

There is also the man in Tsing Yi she met at the pawnshop, the two young masters who are not in the long room, judging from his age. So what is the relationship between him and Pei’s family?

Could it be the young master of the other two?

Which side is he on at this moment?

Does he know that the third master Pei family will win the war in the end?

Looking at the disposition of the third master of the Pei family from the events of the previous life, the third master of the Pei family after becoming the master of the Pei family, eight or nine out of ten are the roles of those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die.

I don’t know if the man in Tsing Yi will avoid his edge because of this.

Seeing that, he is also unruly…

Yu Tang’s heart was in a mess, she didn’t know whether she wanted to let the Yu family avoid disaster more or wanted to know the situation of the man in Tsing Yi…but she couldn’t stop her concern about Pei’s family.

Yu Tang said: “The third general manager is very busy! You have to take care of the outside affairs as well as the affairs of the house. Don’t the general manager and the second manager help?”

Aunt Ji realized that she had failed to speak, but Yu Tang seemed to be incomprehensible. She vaguely responded, “There are other things between the chief director and the second director,” and then changed the subject, saying: “I think the lady is a scholar. My body is still very weak. If you are going to go back after paying homage to the old man and using a vegetarian meal in our house, I will ask you to take you to the room at the back of the hall for a rest. The sun at noon is too hot, you Beware of heat stroke.”

For fear of causing Aunt Ji’s suspicion, Yu Tang had to stop temporarily.

The Chen family thanked Auntie Ji, and talked about the kindness of Pei’s grandfather to her.

Yu Tang listened while observing the surroundings.

She found that she hadn’t seen a flower of other colors when she came along this way.

It can be seen that the third master has already ordered the prohibition at this time, and on the surface no one would dare not follow it.

Yu Tang was even more worried.

I just don’t know how the third master of the Pei family is in charge?

Did he force the people to submit by holding the will of Grandpa Pei? Or was it that Master Pei San had already held the emperor to make the princes before Lu Xin and others had rumors spread?

She was absent-minded, and when she heard the movement, she found that she and her mother had followed Auntie Ji into a crying yard, where many neighbors like them were crying. The Sanskrit chants on both sides of the water and land dynasty are long and rhymed, and the three-legged copper pot incense sticks taller than people are like a forest, with white smoke curling up. If it were not for the white flags hanging everywhere, she almost thought she had entered a temple.

Chen coughed a few times.

Lady Ji said: “Please follow me!”

The women who led them through the many crying spirits entered the side hall, kowtowing and respecting the portrait of Mrs. Pei in the middle hall.

When he got up, Yu Tang looked at the portrait of Grandpa Pei seriously.

With three strands of long beard, lying silkworm eyebrows, almond eyes, wide forehead and plump cheeks, wearing a turquoise woven gold round neck blouse with five bats and flowers, smiling, looking very kind.

I don’t know who painted this picture, the meticulous style is very good. Not to mention the lifelike face, all the subtle expressions are drawn. Even if Yu Tang doesn’t know much about painting, he can feel the artist’s skills.

I don’t know who painted it?

When Mr. Pei painted this portrait, did he think that the Pei family would fight for the sovereign after his death?

It can be seen that things are impermanent.

Yu Tang suddenly felt a bit of grief in the sound of crying.

Her eyes were moist and tears came down.

The Chen cried even more.

Yu Tang and Aunt Ji left the hall with Chen’s arms one by one.

Aunt Ji thought for a while, called a maid named “Tired Branch”, and told her: “This is the lady and the eldest lady of Yu Xiucai’s house. You take the lady and the eldest lady to the back room to rest first.” To the Chen family, “I still have errands outside, so I won’t accompany you. I will see you later.”

It is obvious that Aunt Ji is taking care of them.

Chen and Yu Tang hurriedly thanked her, saying: “We just need to rest in the room.”

Aunt Ji whispered: “It’s okay! That wing room was originally a guest room for the female family members of the inner house. There is no arrangement for hospitality. I will give you a rest day, it doesn’t matter.

This is also the kindness of Mrs. Ji.

The mother and daughter thanked and thanked them. Seeing Auntie Ji spoke sincerely, and a servant girl came to ask Auntie Ji to show her, she gratefully agreed, and followed the tired branch to the west corridor.

“Such a good person, how can I go?!” Chen was still immersed in sorrow, while wiping tears with his kerchief, he murmured.

Yu Tang comforted her mother a few words, and looked up and found that they followed the tired branches to a secluded small yard.

In the courtyard, the green bamboo stream and the slab bridge spirit stones are very delicately arranged, and the sound of crying can be heard faintly, setting off the small courtyard more quietly.

Tired Zhi pushed the door of the west wing, invited Chen and Yu Tang in, and whispered: “Ms. Yu family, you will rest here first, and I will invite you when you have lunch.” After that, I will personally give it to you. The two poured tea.

Yu Tang looked at the all-black lacquered furniture in this wing room, sky-cyan curtains, and a blue-and-white porcelain vase with two white evening magnolias the size of a bowl, one high and one low. The layout was clean and elegant, neat and comfortable.

The room was changed to the wing room. She guessed that this place should be a place for rest of the relatives of Pei’s family. Aunt Ji mostly looked at her father as a scholar, and her mother was frail and talked in the same way. So she opened a back door to them. The mother and daughter are arranged here.

Chen received the tea, and Wen Sheng thanked Lei Zhi.

Yu Tang thought that Aunt Ji could make this tired branch do something. This tired branch must have a good relationship with Aunt Ji. She received the tired branch of tea, thanked “Sister Ji is tired,” and said: “We can rest here. It’s all the blessings of Aunt Ji and Sister Lizhi. After a few days, Aunt Ji and Sister Lizhi are not busy, we will come to thank you again.”

Tired Zhi didn’t expect that Yu Xiucai’s mother and daughter would be so polite to her, and couldn’t help but glance at Yu Tang more.

Yu Tang’s clothes are ordinary, of medium stature, with soft eyebrows and gentle temperament, and his delicate skin is even more cheesy and creamy.

Tired Zhi was surprised.

Ms. Yu’s family turned out to be a great beauty who didn’t lose to Mrs.

Yu Tang turned out to be a generous temperament, but later he had some unthinkable encounters, and he was even less humble and calm in his actions.

She let the tired branches watch.

Tired Branch was a little embarrassed, lowered his head, and respectfully said: “Miss Yu is polite. I will definitely bring you your words.”

“Auntie Ji and Girl Liezhi are both interested!” The Chen exchanged a few words with Liezhi, and personally sent Liezhi out. Only then did she slumped on the Luohan bed in the house with a tired face.

Yu Tang thought that this was the back door that Aunt Ji opened for them, and it would be bad for people to find out. Then he closed the window lattice facing the yard and the window lattice that opened outwards. And even if it was opened, I didn’t dare to open it completely, leaving half of it open and half cover. Then he went to twist a kerchief for his mother to wipe the sweat, and said: “Mum, you take a break first. Tired branches will call us during lunch.”

Chen nodded, and said with regret: “If it weren’t for my bones, we wouldn’t have to ask for a vegetarian meal at Pei’s house. He said that he was here to give the old man Pei incense, but he asked for a meal at their house. ”

Yu Tang comforted her mother: “Pei’s family is the home of Zhongming Ding Shi, and won’t care about these two meals.”

Seeing the sweat on Yu Tang’s forehead, Chen said distressed: “Don’t force yourself. If you feel hot, find a place to rest and cool off, but don’t come to give Mrs. Pei incense, but it heats you up. .”

“Got it!” Yu Tang responded and brought Xiao Mu Xiao over to help Chen’s leg squeeze.

The Chen was surprised and delighted, and said: “Oh! This is incredible, I have never enjoyed such a blessing as a girl!”

Yup!

She used to be ignorant and didn’t know how to cherish.

Now I know how rare such a gathering is.

Yu Tang’s eyes were astringent, and he exposed the incident coquettishly, sitting on the side of Chen’s leg and squeezing her leg.

While enjoying her daughter’s filial piety, Chen cried with her: “People say that the blessed person is born in June, and the unhappy person died in June… How many good things did Mrs. Pei do… Fortunately, the two masters are at home, When I left, my son was by my side. But it was not good. The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. The eldest man is gone…”

Yu Tang’s left ear went in and his right ear went out, thinking of the mountain forest tea houses and street wharves that all read “Pei”, and wondered with emotion: Is it because Pei’s family is Xiaoshan?

There was a sudden noise outside.

Chen and Yu Tang were stunned.

Thinking of Aunt Ji’s words, Yu Tang whispered to the Chen family: “Sit down first, I’ll go and see!”
