Delicate Flower Chapter 331: Conflict
Gu Xi had a very complicated mood when serving tea to Yu Tang.
She couldn't figure out whether she was more unwilling, more jealous, or more regretful.
If she had been calmer and waited until the news of Yu Tang and Pei Yan's marriage came out before deciding on her marriage, wouldn't she have faced such an embarrassing situation?
It seems not.
In the Jiangnan area, among the younger generation, there is no better son-in-law than Pei Yan. Even if she does not marry Pei Tong, she will not be able to seduce Pei Yan. And Pei Tong is the best candidate among the people she knows.
If she misses Pei Tong, I am afraid she will regret it even more.
That's it? !
Gu Xi thought, she lived her life by herself. I think back then, her mother-in-law also married into a good family, and she didn't end up dying of illness in the end.
She didn't believe it, she couldn't live her life well.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that serving tea to Yu Tang is not so difficult to accept.
Gu Xi called "Third Aunt" to Yu Tang in a smooth voice, neither enthusiastic nor cold.
The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction.
The Miss Pei's next to them covered their mouths and laughed.
Pei Laoan glared at them angrily.
The third, fourth and fifth ladies, who had not yet left the cabinet, shrank their shoulders like quails and did not dare to laugh anymore.
Yu Tang felt elated and in a particularly good mood.
She and Gu Xi are really destined!
She likes the fate of this life so much.
"My eldest nephew-in-law, you don't have to be so polite." She said with a smile, handed the tea cup to Xipo who was standing next to her, took the greeting gift from Qingyuan, and gave it to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi smiled and thanked her. Seeing that Yu Tang's greeting gift was an extra jade pendant compared to her sister-in-law's, and that the water quality of the jade pendant was not bad, her mood improved.
Although she would have to give Yu Tang the courtesy of being a junior when she saw her in the future, during the holidays, Yu Tang would still have to give her red envelopes. It could be considered that she suffered a loss in terms of etiquette but compensated her in terms of money. The loss was not that severe.
On the other hand, Mrs. Yang, who is also the eldest sister-in-law of the eldest wife’s mother’s family, couldn’t help but start complaining about the Pei family on the way back after having the marriage ceremony. “They are still so stingy. They can’t even bear to be together in pairs.”
This time Mrs. Yang came here on behalf of the Yang family. The meeting gifts from the uncles' families were about two thousand taels of silver, which was very decent.
The eldest lady smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still expect the Pei family to be different from before? Even when his father was here, he couldn't change it. What's more, his father is gone, and Pei Yan is as stubborn as our old man. In short, I can’t count on the Pei family."
Mrs. Yang sighed, helped Mrs. Pei straighten the fox fur on her cloak, and said, "How do you think about what I told you?"
She came here for a purpose.
The Yang family wants to marry the Pei family again.
If Pei Tong fails, there is still Pei Fei.
If Pei Fei can't do it here, then the Yang family can marry a girl from the Pei family back home.
The Yang family has taken a fancy to fifth lady Pei Dan.
Mrs. Yang said, "I won't embarrass you. I came to ask for Feng'er's hand in marriage."
Yang Feng is the second son of Mrs. Yang.
Although he is the second son, he is the best educated in the Yang family.
It is true that Pei Dan was not wronged.
Mrs. Pei frowned. She doesn't like the second wife, and naturally she doesn't like the fifth daughter born to the second wife, and she doesn't want the fifth daughter to marry such a good husband.
"We have to wait until A Tong's marriage is over." She said with some reluctance, "The second wife won't leave for Shandong until after the New Year. There is still time."
But Mrs. Yang hurried back, she wanted to settle the matter before going back. She couldn't help but said, "Your brother said that Pei Xuan was underestimated in the past. Do you know who is competing with Pei Xuan for the position of Shandong Chief Envoy? It's the fifth master of the Li family! Mr. Zhang personally recommended it. Pei Xuan."
The eldest lady doesn’t know.
She opened her mouth slightly.
Not only are the Li family and the Zhang family related by marriage, they also advance and retreat together in the officialdom. If Pei Xuan's Shandong chief envoy is really as Mrs. Yang said, it means that the Zhang and Li families paid a high price and gave up a lot of benefits in order to bring the Pei family into the game.
"Not only that," Mrs. Yang gave the eldest wife another heavy blow, "Pei Xuan's mentor is said to have served as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
One of the Nine Qings has entered the core of the imperial court.
"Your brother hasn't found out yet whether this is one of the conditions set by the Zhang and Li families and Pei Xuan'en, or whether it is just to win over the Pei family." Mrs. Yang murmured, "We all thought that Pei Xuan would stay. To be a boss or a young minister in the capital, he didn't expect that he would give up the capital and choose Shandong. Shandong is very close to the capital. Of course, this may not be something he can choose if he wants to, but the current position is definitely It’s the best for him..."
She was nagging, and the eldest lady was a little upset, but she also knew that her current supporter was her family, and whether she liked it or not, she had to help her family.
"Then I'll take the time to ask." Mrs. Pei changed her mind, "Just wait for my news."
She couldn't guarantee that the second wife would agree.
Because the second wife is a filial daughter-in-law, she will listen to Pei Lao'an on everything, and Pei Lao'an dislikes her the most.
As the two of them talked, they returned to the house where the eldest wife lived.
Mrs. Yang still had a lot to ask Mrs. Pei, and they decided to rest together tonight.
The next day, Gu Xi and Pei Tong returned home, and Mrs. Pei went to the second wife's place.
The second wife was not there, so I asked the maid next to the second wife and she said that she went to the third wife’s place.
It took the eldest wife a few breaths to realize that the third wife was referring to that girl Yu Tang.
Now I am on par with them.
The eldest wife was a little unhappy, but the little maid still chirped, "The three ladies are also at the third wife's place. They said they wanted to go to another courtyard outside the city to see the plum blossoms together. The third master also said that if the weather is too cold, , I won’t be back tonight. The fifth lady was so happy that she even brought a grill, saying she wanted to barbecue there. The third master also asked to bring venison. I heard that it was sent by someone from the Zhang family in the capital. Come. We all want to follow. We haven’t seen what venison looks like yet? I heard that the wealthy families in the capital eat venison every day when winter comes. If it tastes good, Miss Fifth will definitely eat deer in the future. Meat, maybe we can all try it!"
He looks like a young man who has never seen the world.
The second wife also comes from a wealthy family, so why are all these things in the house kept?
The eldest lady snorted coldly, turned around and left.
The little maid looked around to see if there was no one around, made a face at the eldest lady’s back, and ran back into the room where the floor cage was burning.
After hearing the reply, Mrs. Yang pondered, "The Zhang family? They even sent someone to deliver venison. Do you value the Pei family so much?"
Unfortunately, after the second wife found out that the Yang family wanted to marry her, she politely refused, "I made an agreement with my natal sister-in-law and wanted A Dan to go to Jinling."
This means that you want to marry your daughter to your natal family.
The eldest wife is not good at persuading others, and it is even harder to say anything after hearing this - if she had a daughter, she would also be willing to marry her nephew.
As soon as she left, the second wife ran to Pei Lao'an and told Pei Lao'an about the incident. Instead, she cried like a daughter complaining in front of her mother, "I'm not sure. If you want to marry Adan to Jinling, a mother-in-law like the eldest wife of the Yang family will definitely not be able to do it."
She can't even fight against Mrs. Yang, let alone Mrs. Yang. If her daughter Didi is married, she will be bullied and she won't even be able to speak.
When the eldest wife said that she would pick up her daughter-in-law in Hangzhou City, Pei Laoan held his breath. Later, he called Pei Tong over and hammered a few words. Pei Tong was smart and persuaded the eldest wife to change her mind. An Cai didn't lose his temper, but when he saw that the Yang family was interested in the Pei family again, he couldn't hold it back. Before Mrs. Yang returned to Beijing, she directly called the eldest wife to reprimand, "You are also the one who raises children. Why don't you have a little sympathy? You can also interfere in the marriage of the second family's children? They don't have mothers and fathers." There are still no grandparents. Oh, I was wrong. You only raised a son, so of course you don’t know how to raise a daughter. Our old man is gone, and you don’t have to worry about me, an old woman who only knows a deep house. But you are a mother. I am a human being, am I right? Since you are a mother, you have to set an example. How come you are not as good as those servants at home? Those servants still know what to say and what not to say. You marry After all these years in the Pei family, can’t you learn a little bit? You..."
The mother-in-law's words hit her head like hailstones, and it took her a while to react.
When she came to her senses, she was anxious and angry. She was so ashamed that she wanted to hit her head against the thick red painted pillar in Pei Lao'an's hall.
But Pei Laoan still refused to let her go, saying, "Don't feel aggrieved. Do you know why I look down on you? It's because you are not easy to learn. And you are ignorant and not easy to learn. What are you, the Yang family, with you?" Have you cleaned up the smell of copper coins? Why don't you learn from it and bring some market habits into our home? If Pei Tong hadn't been a sensible kid, I think your room would be just like the Yang family, except for counting money. , there’s nothing left to do.”
This is a real stab in the eldest lady’s leg.
She got up and was about to hit the pillar. ~IndoMTL.com~ Pei Laoan looked at it and sneered, saying, "Don't dirty my place. If you want to bump into me, go back to your own room and bump into him. Just give the two children to his second uncle or third uncle." Education will not be ruined in your hands."
Aunt Chen was here, so of course it was impossible for the eldest wife to hit the wall. Some went to call the Pei Yan couple, some reported the news to the second wife, and some went to call the eldest wife Yang to come over.
Mrs. Yang was not a vegetarian either. She contradicted Mr. Pei Laoan with a smile, "Who would treat a widowed daughter-in-law like this?"
Pei Lao'an was originally a man who knocked on the mountain to scare the tiger. Now that the tiger has come out, his fighting spirit is even stronger. He said with a smile, "If you feel aggrieved, why don't you take your sister-in-law back home to live with her, and let the rich families in the capital take a look?" Is it our Pei family’s fault or your Yang family’s fault? Or do my two grandchildren want to follow their mother back to the Yang family?”
Mrs. Yang couldn't accept this.
Because no matter from which point of view, it is easy for the eldest wife to return to her parents' home, but she cannot take away her two sons who have reached the age of dancing spoons.
This is what the eldest wife will rely on in the future.
I can’t take her away. What should I do if my sister-in-law returns to her parents’ home?
Pei Laoan choked Mrs. Yang with just one sentence.
