Delicate Flower

Chapter 35 By boat

Pei Yan wore a piece of bamboo-blue muslin cloth and didn’t even insert a hairpin, let alone other accessories. He was completely clean and still had a shady face, and he didn’t pay attention to anything. On the other hand, Zhou Zijin wore a brocade robe of purple-red sapphire blue with folded branches and flowers, with jade pendants, gold three things, purses and other things hanging around his waist, and jasper hairpins on his head. What Yan said, Pei Yan nodded from time to time, with a perfunctory attitude.

There was a boat parked in front of the two of them.

The two-mast sailing ship is ten feet long, with bright tong lacquer that can illuminate people’s shadows, carved window lattices, white gauze curtains, and tong lacquer lanterns.

Not the boat Zhou Zijin took when he came that day.

Compared to the boat Zhou Zijin was on that day, it was smaller and more delicate.

Pei Man instructed his servants to carry the cage by the side of the boat to see who was going out.

Yu Tang craned her neck and glanced.

Yu Wen refreshed, and smiled and said to Yu Tang and Yu Yuan: “I didn’t expect to meet the third master of the Pei family here, you are waiting here, I will say hello.”

Yu Tang thought of Pei Yan’s arrogance and rudeness. He didn’t want his father’s hot face to stick to his cold face. He pulled La Yuwen’s sleeves and whispered: “He didn’t see us again, and he still has friends. We must come forward. Go and say hello to him?”

The most important thing is that her father is not going to be a candidate or an official. Is it necessary to be so close to Pei’s family?

Yu Wen said, “The third master of Pei’s family is not bad. When the Pei’s grandfather went there, I’m not there to help? The third master of Pei’s family came to say hello to us every day, and sent two small servants to serve us. Treat people sincerely. Now that I have met, how can I not see it?”

But you value others, and others may not value you?

Yu Tang pulled Yu Wen’s sleeves and said, “Daddy, our boat is coming soon.”

They went to Hangzhou by passenger ship.

Yu Wen said: “It’s still early. The boat is just here, and it has to be docked at the pier for a quarter of an hour. It won’t be too late.” After that, he opened his sleeves and was about to pass.

Yu Tang stomped secretly with anger.

As a result, Yu Wen stopped and turned around as if thinking of something.

Yu Tang was overjoyed, thinking that Yu Wen had changed his mind.

Who knows that Yu Wen waved at Yu Yuan, saying: “You also go with me to say hello to the third master Pei. It happened that Pei Man was also there, so I knew him in front of him. It would be more convenient for you to find him if you have anything to do in the future. .”

Her father took the initiative to greet Pei Yan, and her brother in the lobby had to get a familiar face in front of Pei Man, and Yu Tang was very angry.

But Yu Yuan had already followed her father happily, and it was useless for her to be angry.

Yu Tang covered his eyes, not wanting to see her father being coldly treated by Pei Yan, but to her surprise, Pei Yan was very polite to her father, and raised her eyelid to look at her during the speech. Because of his glance, Zhou Zijin also noticed her and looked at her. Then she didn’t know what he said to her father. Her father waved his hand, Zhou Zijin laughed a few times and looked at Pei Yan.

Pei Yan said with a cold face and said nothing.

Zhou Zijin didn’t speak anymore.

Pei Yan called Pei Man.

Pei Man left what was at hand and strode over immediately.

Pei Yan pointed to Yu Yuan.

Pei Man made an offer to Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan hurriedly responded, looking a little nervous.

Pei Yan said a few more words, Yu Yuan saluted Pei Man again, Pei Man paid back, turned around and went to work with him again.

Yu Wen and Pei Yan said a few words, and Pei Yan nodded. Yu Wen greeted Zhou Zijin again, and everyone broke up.

Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and when her father came over, he couldn’t wait to ask: “Daddy, what did the third master of the Pei family say to you?”

Yu Wen was very happy, and said: “The third master of Pei’s family is really good, and his friend is also good. I heard that we are going to Hangzhou City, and we will drop in with them. Please let us take a boat with them. I see how the third master of Pei’s family looks like. As if there was something important, he politely refused. The third master of the Pei family really did not keep me. However, it is not unreasonable for him to be able to observe politics in the sixth department at a young age. I only said a few words with him, and he said Pei Man called over to introduce you to your brother. With this insight, you will surely have a smooth career in the future, and you will become prosperous.”

Yu Tang curled his lips in his heart.

Whatever his official career was smooth and successful, he never became an official at all.

And he was observing politics in six departments at a young age, isn’t it because he was admitted to Shuji Shi? It doesn’t matter whether he has eyesight or not, right?

As for her father’s praise to Pei Yan, she didn’t believe it at all, and felt that her father would praise him like this when she saw him with kindness.

Otherwise, Zhou Zijin offered to take a boat to Hangzhou with them. Why didn’t he follow the polite words?

He didn’t want to walk with them at all.

Moreover, he was unwilling to maintain even the most basic face, and he didn’t say a word of kindness.

Yu Tang suddenly remembered the way Pei Yan looked at her when she met Pei Yan last time.

It’s really irritating!

She bulged her cheeks.

Yuan Yuyuan also praised Pei Yan: “Being kind and polite, and not arrogant at all. I thought that young and ambitious people like him are very high-minded and are not willing to deal with people like us. The third master of the Pei family is worthy of it. Scholars, have poems and books in their stomachs, have self-cultivation, and have magnanimity.”

Yu Tang couldn’t listen anymore, and said, “Brother, what is “people like us”? What’s wrong with our family? Don’t be presumptuous!”

Yu Yuan is clear.

Yu Wen laughed and patted his nephew on the shoulder and said: “I thought you should study hard with me, but my eldest brother insisted that you do business with him. See you? A scholar is more respected than others. You are If you have no chance to study anymore, your children will not be able to follow your old ways in the future. Even if you sell all the shops at home, you still have to provide for the children to study.”

Yu Yuanshen agreed and kept nodding.

Yu Tang didn’t think so. She argued for Yu Yuan: “If brother doesn’t do business with the uncle, let alone the uncle’s side, it’s our side. I’m afraid that food, clothing, and chewing will be a problem. I’m sorry. I think my uncle is doing the right thing.”

“You child!” Yu Wen said, “How come you are like a firecracker, just stop at one point. No, just stop if you don’t click. I didn’t say anything, but I hope your brother’s eyes will be more long-term, the child must I want to read.”

Father and daughter, you and I said, the boat is coming.

Yu Tang boarded the ship with his father and brother.

Before entering the cabin, she couldn’t help but glanced at Pei Yan.

Those servants are still moving the cages.

Thinking of the scene when Zhou Zijin came, she couldn’t help but whispered to Yu Yuan: “Brother, what are they going to do in Hangzhou? Will the third master of the Pei family go too?”

Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked towards Pei Yan, and said, “I heard that Zhou Zhuangyuan said that the newly appointed Zhejiang Ti Xue Yushi is a fellow of Master Pei San. It seems that Zhou Zhuangyuan has something to look for that person. To learn the censorship, take Master Pei San to go. Otherwise, Master Pei is still in the period of filial piety, how could he run to Hangzhou City casually.”

Yu Tang was a little surprised, and maliciously guessed Pei Yan in his heart.

Maybe he said this to her dad to get her dad to help him tell others about his intention to go to Hangzhou, so that no one would think that his filial piety was not at home and he went to play in Hangzhou.

Yu Tang despised Pei Yan again.

There are not many people who take the boat today, in twos and threes, there are a lot of vacancies.

They found a corner to sit down.

After the boat started, the cool breeze of early autumn blew on people’s faces. It was refreshing and cool, very comfortable.

Yu Yuan went to buy tea for Yu Wen and his daughter, and the three of them drank tea and chatted.

Yu Wen asked Yu Tang: “Where do you want to go? Or is there something you want to buy?”

Yu Tang is thinking about painting, how can he be in the mood to play? However, since she has arrived in Hangzhou, how can she bring something back for her mom and Ma Xiuniang.

She took her father’s arm and smiled: “Can you buy a few kerchiefs and headscarves?”

Yu Wen was surprised and smiled: “Do you only buy these?”

Every time he goes out, Yu Tang can’t wait to open a long list and ask him to buy it all.

Yu Tang blushed and hummed: “Isn’t I ignorant?”

When Yu Wen heard this, he smiled, but he was unusually appropriate in his heart. He waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about money, just buy what you want. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the income of the farm will be handed over, and the family will have more money. The silver is used.”

Yu Tang sighed secretly.

Why didn’t she find out in her previous life that her father was a foodie.

However, she seems to be…

Yu Tang was calm.

Someone screamed through the window of the ship.

The people in the cabin were all startled and looked out.

I saw a two-masted tong lacquer boat swiftly paddling the water like a fish, riding the wind and waves past them.

“It’s Pei’s boat!” someone shouted, “I’ve seen it. When Grandpa Pei was alive, he used this kind of boat every time he went to Hangzhou.”

“Really?” It was okay for the person not to say, but when he said, more people went to the boat window to see.

“So fast!”

“it’s beautiful!”

Everyone praised.

Someone shouted: “Look at it quickly, is that an official card? Who is literate? Quickly see what is written?”

Yu Yuan also took a look at it.

Yu Tang pulled him back and said, “Brother, what’s so good about this. But it’s just a boat. Others thought we hadn’t seen it before.”

Yu Yuan chuckled and said, “Isn’t this the envy of me? It would be nice if our family could sail on such a boat someday.”

Yu Tang pouted.

Yu Yuan touched her head and said, “Don’t be angry, Atang. In the future, Brother A will make money and let your nephew study hard. When Atang returns to her family, I will ask your nephew to stand up. Card, use such a big ship to pick you up.”

What nonsense are they talking about!

Yu Tang said: “I’ll stay at home, what kind of family will I go back to?!”

Yu Yuan smiled impressed and looked at Yu Wen as if asking for help.

Yu Wen, who was silent just now, slapped the table and said with a serious face: “Atang is right. You should do business first, and then find a way to let your children and grandchildren study. Pei’s family is like this. When I moved here, I didn’t immediately. I participated in the imperial examination, and it only started in the second generation.” Then he said to Yu Yuan: “I have misunderstood your father these years. When I return to Lin’an, I want to invite my older brother to drink!”

Yu Yuan replied with embarrassment, “Don’t dare”.

Yu Tang didn’t even have the interest to speak.

I met people from Pei’s family everywhere, and mentioned Pei family in everything!

Can’t she live in a place without Pei Yan and Pei’s family?

So angry!
