Delicate Flower Chapter 325: Hibiscus
The patriarchs of the Pei family all lived in Li Xuetang on Pei Fu East Road. Pei Lao'an also moved out after the death of Mrs. Pei, but Pei Yan was unwilling to move and still lived in the farmland where he originally lived. The elders of the Pei family saw that the clan brother-in-law was still in the filial piety period and Pei Yan had not yet gotten married, so no one rushed him.
When his marriage was finalized, he set up his wedding room in the Shuyu Mountain House next to the farm.
Now the older generation is a little dissatisfied.
Pei Yan did not explain anything and insisted on redecorating Shuyu Mountain House and transplanting a ginkgo tree that was originally planted in Lixue Hall to Shuyu Mountain House.
Old man Yi couldn't help but visit Pei Lao'an, and said with some emotion, "I know this child is filial. But the country has national laws and the family has family rules. You can't let his temper run wild like this!"
Pei Laoan picked up the tea cup and gently blew the floating leaves on the water, but instead of drinking the tea, he put down the tea cup and said, "You also know that Xia Guang has a bad temper. Originally, the position of the sect leader should be I inherited it from Ayou's house, but now the burden falls on him. He may have his own plans. From what I see, you just follow him. Live wherever he wants. Where is it?"
Mr. Yi couldn't help but think too much.
Is Pei Yan still planning to return the position of sect leader to Pei You?
This is not impossible.
I remember that when they moved from Luoyang, the clan had no children, so the ancestors of their clan took over the position of clan leader. Later, when the clan gave birth to a son, the ancestors of their clan took over the position of clan leader. The position was returned to the clan house.
With Pei Yan's arrogance, he can really do it!
But Mrs. Yi did not agree with this arrangement. He reminded Pei Laoan, "In any case, in my opinion, A Tong and A Fei are not suitable candidates. In this matter, sister-in-law, can you You need more guidance and guidance. The clan clan has done the most to make the Pei family what it is today, but we can’t let my old brother not close his eyes under the Nine Springs!"
Pei Lao'an doesn't think so.
She assured Mrs. Yi, "Don't worry, nothing like that will happen."
Old Master Yi was only half relieved, and left with a sigh.
Pei Laoan didn't sleep well for several nights.
People around her just thought that Pei Yan was getting married, and she was happy, but only she knew that she was afraid that Pei Yan would really have such thoughts and return the position of sect leader to Pei You. .
She also knew that the thin ginkgo tree was planted by Mr. Pei himself the year Pei Yan was born. Mr. Pei also once said that he hoped that the tree would be like Pei Yan, safe and smooth, and grow into a towering tree.
Pei Yan didn't care about it on the surface, but he often watered the tree and almost watered the tree to death.
If he transplanted the tree to Shuyu Shanfang, he would probably have made up his mind to live in Shuyu Shanfang in the future.
Pei Laoan sighed in his heart.
When the people who were making noise in the wedding room dispersed and everyone took a rest, she had so many thoughts that she couldn't fall asleep.
Aunt Chen brought people in and ordered her some soothing incense.
But she suddenly didn't want to sleep. She remembered the time when she and Mr. Pei had just gotten married. The two of them often lay side by side in bed, looking forward to the future. How many children would they have? What if it was a son? How should she be raised if she was a daughter... But now, he left her behind, leaving her to suffer alone in this world.
Pei Laoan suddenly felt sad and had tears in his eyes.
Aunt Chen asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you? Do you want me to read Buddhist scriptures to you? Or should we go to the old lady's study to sit for a while?"
Mr. Pei's study room is still preserved, and the furnishings are the same as when he was alive. The furnishings are changed according to the different seasons.
Pei Laoan misses the person who has been with her for half her life.
She nodded and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay. Let's go sit in the old lady's room."
Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief, ordered the maids to bring their cloaks and stoves, and helped Pei Lao'an to the Li Xuetang.
The dim yellow light shines on the bluestone corridor, glowing with warmth.
Aunt Chen persuaded Pei Lao'an in a soft voice, "Now that the third master is married, in a few days, Lao An, you will have more grandchildren. By then, this yard will be lively. Get up. After all, the third wife is young and there are still many things she doesn’t understand. When the time comes, you will have to help with the upbringing of the grandchildren. You have to take care of yourself and make the third master’s children look like those of the Qian family clan. Just like several grandchildren, all of them need to be able to read."
Pei Laoan thought of Yao'er's naughty appearance as a child, and suddenly felt very good. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "How can I be as important as you say? They are both smart people. , they can definitely do well without me."
While talking, she suddenly didn’t want to go to Li Xuetang.
She stood at the entrance of the corridor and pondered for a moment, then said to Aunt Chen, "Let's go to Shuyu Mountain House."
Aunt Chen was taken aback and wanted to ask, "Where are you going and what are you doing? It's not like you're going to check out a house, right?" But then she knew she had gone astray.
Pei Laoan is not such a mother.
She followed Pei Laoan to Shuyu Mountain House.
The guests had dispersed, and Shuyu Mountain House was quiet. Only a few women keeping watch at night were yawning and cleaning the yard.
The red firecracker paper exploded everywhere, and the red piece was like a red carpet, very festive.
A woman wanted to report to Qing Yuan, but she was stopped by Pei Lao'an. She said, "I'm just here to take a look. Don't disturb the third master and third wife. Today is their wedding night."
The mother-in-law laughed with her, not knowing how to respond.
Pei Laoan said to the old woman, "You should come with me! If you meet someone from the Xiaguang Courtyard, you can also say hello."
The Pei family is very big, and people like Pei Laoan may not know everyone in the house, not to mention that Pei Yan has readjusted the errands of the servants in the family a few days ago.
The woman immediately respectfully responded "yes" and stayed with Pei Lao'an.
Pei Lao'an asked her, "Is the maid in Shuyu Shanfang still Qingyuan now? Where is Qingyan? Is she responsible for farming? Didn't the people on both sides merge? Where were you originally working as an errand? When were you transferred here? Yes? Do you just care about the cleaning of the outer courtyard? Do you know where the ginkgo plant that the third master moved over is planted? I want to see it."
"I know!" the old lady replied, leading Pei Lao'an to live with the transplanted ginkgo tree, and replied to Pei Lao'an, "I was originally in charge of cleaning at Shuyu Shanfang, and the third master moved here. After that, I was still asked to be an errand. The people from Gengyuan and Shuyu Shanfang were not merged. Miss Yan was still in charge of Gengyuan, and Miss Qingyuan was transferred here. The details of who will be responsible for what will have to wait until the third wife approves Kiss, rearrange..."
The reason why Shuyu Shanfang is called Shanfang is because it is built on a hillside with undulating terrain, which makes it quite wild.
Pei Laoan was supported by Aunt Chen and the old lady, and it started to rain halfway through.
The rain is not heavy, but it is pattering, but it is quite lingering.
Aunt Chen was so anxious that she couldn't help but said, "Winter rain hurts people, let's go back, right?" She then ordered the woman, "Why don't you go find an umbrella? Or call for a shoulder-carrying sedan."
"No need!" Pei Lao'an stopped and turned to a nearby pavilion, "Let's rest here."
Aunt Chen didn’t dare to let Pei Laoan stand in the rain, so she thought it would be better to take shelter first.
But the woman was a good girl and ran down the mountain in the rain. As she ran, she said, "You and Lao An wait for a while, I'll get an umbrella right now."
It would be better if you could call for a shoulder-carrying sedan, but don’t disturb the third master.
Aunt Chen praised secretly.
Pei Laoan suddenly pointed to a ginkgo tree under the pavilion and said, "Look, is that the one the old man planted before?"
Aunt Chen held up the lamp and took a closer look. She saw that the tree was tied with a brand-new red cloth ribbon, which was a method commonly used by Pei family gardeners.
"It's true!" Mrs. Chen came closer, stood on tiptoe and took a few more glances before confirming, "I saw two words vaguely carved on the tree pole."
When Pei Yan was a child, he was made to stand under a tree by Mr. Pei because he was naughty and refused to endorse. He didn't stop even when he was punished to stand, and carved two characters "PEI" on the tree.
"It's a pity that it's a bit far away and I can't see very clearly." Aunt Chen said, "How about I go down and have a look, and you just sit here and don't move."
"No need." Pei Laoan saw that the rain was getting heavier and he regretted his willfulness. If she got sick, Pei Yan would have to take care of her newlyweds. Wouldn't this be a torment for them both? ?
She said, "It won't be too late for us to come and see you tomorrow. Let's go back when the old woman brings the umbrella!"
Aunt Chen didn’t insist.
Pei Laoan walked over.
I found a hibiscus flower next to the ginkgo tree.
In the October weather, the flower buds on a tree, even though it is night~IndoMTL.com~, are like spring flowers quietly blooming in the spring rain, revealing some delicate red petals, struggling to bloom, and the numerous flower branches are all It seems a bit unbearable. Against the backdrop of the straight and tall ginkgo trees, it inexplicably reveals the charm of "the servant is so delicate and helpless".
Pei Laoan laughed.
Have you not seen such wanton flowers and trees at home for a long time?
Ever since the old man passed away, the third son of his family has been annoyed when he saw such a flowering tree. Everyone in the family would not hang around him, so naturally they followed his preferences and pinched the flowers before they started to bloom.
I wonder if this hibiscus tree stayed because everyone was busy with Pei Yan’s wedding these days and forgot about it, or because the terrain was remote and no one noticed it?
But in this night, it makes people feel a little warm and a little bit twinkling.
It’s also pretty good!
Pei Lao'an decided to tell the people in Shuyu Mountain House that if Pei Yan didn't tell them, they shouldn't pinch these flowers.
When the tree blooms, it will look particularly beautiful.
Pei Lao'an returned to the room surrounded by the maids and wives, leaving behind a tree bud, which was lightly tapped by the thin raindrops, drop after drop, until only a corner of the bud trembled and bloomed, and then They were forcibly entered as if they were sieging a city, and they fell straight into the flower house, where they were defenseless and forced to bloom until the first flower bloomed.
