Chapter 388 ulterior motive

The second wife was finishing the east house where she lived these days. Seeing Yu Tang coming over, she hurriedly pulled her to see: “How do you feel about the cleaning? Would you like to add something?”

After the two brothers Pei Xuan and Pei Yan had discussed, they planned to live here after Pei Laoan came to Beijing.

The walls were re-painted, and the flowers and trees in the yard were trimmed again. Some pinewood furniture and red sandalwood and wenge screens were added. The tents were almost put on cushions, and people moved in.

Yu Tang smiled and said: “Second sister-in-law has worked hard. I saw that the furnishings here are similar to the place where the mother-in-law lives in her hometown, and the mother-in-law will definitely be satisfied.”

The second wife relieved her mind and said with a smile: “I’m afraid that her old man is not used to living. The climate in the north is too far from that in the south.”

Indeed, it was already winter when Lao An arrived in Beijing.

“Then order more charcoal this year.” Yu Tang helped out his ideas.

The two talked more gossip before Yu Tang raised his mind.

The second wife was naturally happy when she heard this, and smiled: “I’m afraid that the second master will be an official in Beijing, blocking the official way of other brothers. Now a cousin is coming to Beijing to be an official, and it’s great to take care of each other.” Then he asked if the place to live was arranged, and asked if he wanted to help rent a house, “After all, it is not convenient for some things to come from afar.”

Yu Tang smiled and said: “Xia Guang said that the butler over there will be there a few days earlier, and Mr. Shu has been arranged to help him receive it. Presumably these things don’t need us to worry about.”

The second wife’s expression moved slightly after hearing this, and said, “Are you going to pick up people in Tongzhou?”

Yu Tang said, “What’s the matter with you?”

“No, no.” The second wife smiled, “I just thought, this day is very high-spirited, and the things that should be busy at home are almost busy. If you go to Tongzhou, I will follow along in your new house. Heaven, breathable.”

Yu Tang laughed loudly and said, “There are too many people giving gifts, and the second uncle refuses to accept them. You are afraid of offending people, so just go out?”

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Pei Xuan was in charge of Yanyin’s re-examination. Although Pei Yan had already made it clear that he did not talk about official affairs at home, he could not hold Pei’s family in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of years. The barriers of Pei’s family are almost broken.

The second wife smiled wryly.

Yu Tang was also interested, and said, “Why don’t I discuss with Xia Guang, how many days in advance shall we go to Tongzhou?”

The second wife smiled and said, “I will also bring Dan and Ahong over.”

Yu Tang responded happily, and sent a steward to Tongzhou in advance to arrange related matters.

Mrs. Song Si brought Mrs. Wu Da to visit Yu Tang.

When Yu Tang got the greeting card, he couldn’t believe it and asked the young man who came to report: “You heard clearly, the fourth wife of the Song family is here to visit me?”

During this time, most of the people came to visit the second wife.

The young man hurriedly said respectfully: “The little one has made it clear and said that he is here to send an invitation to you and your second wife.”

Yu Tang suddenly.

During this period of time, I was only busy with the trivial things at home, but forgot about Miss Wu’s coming out of the cabinet.

She invited Mrs. Song Si in.

Ms. Wu is not the daughter of the long house, but it is the wife of the Wu family who came to the capital to deal with the matter of her going out of the cabinet.

To be able to give birth to a beauty like the grandmother of the Jiang family, Mrs. Wu Da is also an extremely good-looking woman. Mrs. Song Si introduced Mrs. Wu Da to Yu Tang.

Mrs. Wu Da straightly praised Yu Tang for being beautiful, and did not neglect Yu Tang because she was about the same age as Yu Tang’s mother. It can be seen that she is a very good woman.

The two met with a polite ceremony. After the guest and the host sat down, Mrs. Wu Da personally took the wedding invitation to Yu Tang.

Mrs. Song Si said in supportive words: “I said I will send this wedding invitation, and stop by your house. But Mrs. Wu Da feels that this is disrespectful, so she has to come in person. I think everyone will look up in the future. See you before you lower your head. It’s okay to recognize a face. Just come with her.”

Seeing that Miss Wu’s wedding date was set for September 22, Yu Tang first said “Congratulations” to Mrs. Wu Da, and then received Mrs. Song Si’s words: “Thank you. I entered Beijing a few months earlier, yes. Although the capital is not very familiar, the housekeeper should be familiar with it. If you have anything to do with us, I will ask someone to say it. I will let the housekeeper go over and help.”

It is impossible for her to help.

Mrs. Wu Da didn’t know if she had heard her unfinished words, she smiled and expressed gratitude, and asked Pei Tong: “I heard that we moved out. We are not familiar with the place of our lives, and we don’t know where we moved. I was afraid that I could not find a place, so I had to send a steward to send the wedding invitation.”

How can you not know where you moved?

Mrs. Wu Da said so, but she was tactfully asking Yu Tang that Pei Tong and Pei Mansion were still not a family. If it’s a family, then the Wu family only needs to send a wedding invitation to Pei’s family. If they want two families, they will send someone to send Pei Tong a wedding invitation. However, Pei Tong left Pei’s house and was an ordinary scholar. It was impossible for Mrs. Wu Da to send them wedding invitations in person.

Yu Tang thought of the things Pei You had done, and thought of Pei Yan’s intention to let Pei Tong divide the clan. She took advantage of this opportunity to make it clear to those who were talking about their family behind the scenes.

“They moved to the original site.” Yu Tang smiled. “I haven’t seen them for some days. I don’t know if they have any other arrangements. If the steward of your house is not available, then I will let me here. The steward on the side will take a trip for your steward.”

Before she finished her words, the faces of Mrs. Wu Da and Mrs. Song Si had subtle changes, and Mrs. Wu Da reluctantly said with a smile: “They do these things. Where can you trouble your housekeeper to run errands for them? Knowing where they moved, I will let the steward at home take a trip.”

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, chatting with the two for a long time, and finally left the two for lunch.

The two didn’t know whether they were really busy or not. They wanted to send wedding invitations to people like Zhang and Li. They politely refused lunch and made an appointment to visit Yu Tang next time they were free.

Yu Tang didn’t force it, and personally sent them out.

It’s just that on the way everyone met the second wife who came to look for Yu Tang.

The fourth wife of Song was too happy and recommended Mrs. Wu Da to the second wife.

During this period of time, the second wife saw that everyone seemed to be looking for her to do business, and she couldn’t help but put up a bit of alert. She said something hastily to Mrs. Wu Da, knowing that she was here to send the wedding invitation, and promised that she would be with Yu. After Tang passed by, accompanied Yu Tang to send the two out of the door.

Yu Tang couldn’t help being a little amused looking at the appearance of his second wife who was on the verge of an enemy.

The second wife complained to her: “You don’t know how tricky the people are to give things. Yesterday I received a box of moon cakes. They said they were brought from Guangdong. I didn’t think much about it, thinking about getting it for you. A few come over and taste it. Who knows to open it, there is a box of cash receipts. It scared me to death, so I quickly handed it over to your second uncle. Alas, I don’t know when I am a head this day!”

Yu Tang quipped her: “Others can’t even think of it, you are still worried. It really doesn’t hurt to stand and talk.”

The second wife smiled and pinched Yu Tang’s face.

The two laughed and went to the inner house.

Mrs. Song Si, who was already in the carriage, asked Mrs. Wu Da incomprehensibly: “Why are you stopping me from telling Mrs. Pei Er? After this autumn harvest, we will start delivering food to the nine sides? Neither of our two families. In this business, the Peng family bought several farms in Jiangxi before following the Pei family. Today is a good harvest year.”

After the food is delivered to Jiubian, the salt will be exchanged, and the salt will be registered by the Ministry of Households if you want to get the salt.

Mrs. Song Si couldn’t help complaining: “I don’t know who thought it was. Isn’t the Yan Yunji a display.”

Mrs. Wu Da smiled and said: “That’s also because something happened in the salt transport of Lianghuai, and the inspection at the Ministry of Households was only temporary. I looked at Mrs. Pei who didn’t like to take care of things, maybe she was unhappy. . Why bother! The Peng family is not what we imagined, they must have a way to solve this problem. Let’s not superfluous.”

She said that, but she was a little annoyed that Mrs. Song was too ugly to eat.

However, it is estimated that others are more ugly than her.

The Jiang Chao has emerged in Suzhou these days, which has taken away a lot of business from the Song family. They don’t know who is standing behind the Jiang Chao. The government just keeps their eyes closed, but the two brothers of the Pei family are in the capital again. When I found Pei’s family, there was no one in charge, so the Song family had no choice but to follow the path of the Peng family.

Pei’s family should have known it by now.

I don’t know what the Pei family will do?

The Wu family never put eggs in a basket, and deliberately went the way of the Pei family.

She came to Pei’s house to send a wedding invitation. She took the opportunity to get to know Mrs. Pei who was a big one. It was even more unexpected to meet Mrs. Pei.

I just don’t know if the people sent to contact the Pei’s family have contacted the Pei’s family.

Mrs. Wu Da was thinking about the matter, and she was a little absent-minded to talk to Mrs. Song Si: “When the Peng family was making a small appointment, I would also like to invite two Mrs. Pei to hold a show. It won’t be too late to visit them again.”

Mrs. Song Si was even more concerned about a marriage that the Wu family introduced to Miss Song Qi.

It is definitely not as good as the Peng family, but the uncle of that family is an official in Jiangsu, and the current official is not as good as the current official. But whether it will work or not, she has to go back to discuss the four masters.

The two returned to the house Wu Jiaxin bought in Beijing with their own thoughts.

The high treasurer and his wife sent by the Peng family to assist the Wu family are already waiting at the second door.

Shopkeeper Gao stood a little far away, and Niangzi Gao came over to help the mother who was in the car to lift the curtain, and helped Mrs. Wu to get out of the carriage.

Mrs. Wu Da has been flattered by this high lady in the past two days, and the person sent by the Peng family has given her a lot of face. She smiled and asked Lady Gao: “But what’s the matter?”

Lady Gao hurriedly said, “It’s nothing, just come and see what we need to run errands here.”

Mrs. Wu Da remembered that she had vaguely heard that the treasurer Gao had come to the capital and helped Peng’s family get a batch of salt.

The Wu family started by boat, and if they could get the salt, they would make more money than others.

She stopped slightly, and smiled and said to Lady Gao: “You help us every day like this, will you not delay your business, will you?”

Lady Gao was very good at talking, and smiled: “You are our business here!”

Mrs. Wu Da chuckled and said, “You don’t need to say beautiful things in front of me. I have heard that the Peng family was able to successfully obtain the Yan Yin before, and it is all the credit of your family. Don’t be sloppy in front of me. !”
