Delicate Flower: Extra Four
Pei Dan cheered, hugged his mother happily, and said, "Remember to tell me when the time comes." Then he hurriedly greeted Gu Xi, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Come to us when you have time." A guest at home."
Gu Xi wanted to ask her "when", but then she thought that Pei Dan said this every time he met her, but in fact he never actually posted her, and she was half joking and half serious. Asked when Pei Dan invited her to sit at home, how did Pei Dan answer her? It seems to be that the mother-in-law is in charge of family affairs and she has no right to interfere. But everyone in the capital didn't know that Mrs. Qin had always praised this daughter-in-law who was personally selected by herself. Pei Dan's words were just words of evasion.
Perhaps she is no longer Pei Dan's serious sister-in-law since the sect was divided.
Pei Dan doesn’t have to respect her so much, right?
Thinking of this, Gu Xi still felt a little sad.
She wants to make friends with the officials in the capital, and a sister-in-law like Pei Dan is a good way to do it. Pei Dan has no contact with her, which is a huge loss for her.
But she couldn't force Pei Dan.
Their family is not as good as Pei Dan. If she catches up again, she will be looked down upon even more.
These things flashed through her mind. She smiled secretly to herself, replied to Pei Dan with "Okay, let's get together again when we have time", and sent Pei Dan off with her second wife.
The second wife looked at her daughter's retreating back and kept complaining to Gu Xi: "This child is getting more and more outrageous. I don't know how she lives in her mother-in-law's house? I think her mother-in-law does the same. She is very strict with rules. What if her mother-in-law becomes disgusted with her one day?"
The second young master of the Qin family got married a few years ago, and his wife is also a well-matched girl. She is also the daughter-in-law personally selected by Mrs. Qin. They are very happy when they get married. They just gave birth to a son a few days ago. The second wife's worries are not unreasonable.
Gu Xi hurriedly comforted the second wife and asked about the second young lady of the Pei family: "Is it true that I will take the child with my uncle to take office?"
In the past few years, they often corresponded, but since the split, the two people have become less and less in contact. Now, she wants to know the news about several ladies in the Pei family, and she has to ask the second wife.
The second wife nodded with a smile and said: "You also know that she is the most stubborn among the nieces. When she came out of the cabinet, we were all worried about her and warned her again and again, asking her to be careful after getting married. Be careful. She just turned a deaf ear to it. But she didn’t expect that her second uncle was actually a good person. She had not had children for so many years, but his second uncle never looked away from her and always treated her as before. Fortunately, she met such an uncle. , her temperament gradually softened. Now it can be said that the clouds are clearing and the moon is bright. For her, the second uncle was transferred to Huai'an Mansion as a general judge, and she also made up her mind to follow her uncle to take office. In this way, you let I take one step and I let you take one step, so that you can live a good life. As for children, if you have them, you can have them. If you don’t have one, it’s not a big deal."
Gu Xi was very surprised.
She thought Miss Pei Er would get into trouble with her husband.
A few years ago, Miss Pei Er’s step-mother-in-law made trouble, and she often argued with her husband. For a while, he actually lived in Ku'an Temple and helped Ku'an Temple manage the business of Buddhist incense.
The second wife smiled when she saw her and said, "I didn't expect that either. I heard that it was Third Aunt's grandma who went back specially to see her and persuaded her for several days."
The third daughter of the Pei family married back to her maternal family. Although her uncle was not very talented, he was honest and reliable and studied hard. Jealous of the brothers who have been named on the gold list one after another and are serving as officials outside. Her parents-in-law liked her temperament, and they also valued her among the several daughters-in-law. They gave her little by little the good things their sons gave her.
Although their mother-in-law is in charge of their family, the reality of the family has been handed over to the third lady. She often promotes the third lady's reputation, making her famous in recent years.
It would be best for her to advise on some matters.
Gu Xi thought of Miss Fourth and couldn't help but smile: "Is she still so aggressive?"
The second wife glared at Gu Xi and said, "You can't say that." After her words fell, she herself laughed.
The Fourth Miss married into a Fuyang family surnamed Hu. Their ancestors also had several prefects and county magistrates. Because they were related to the Fourth Miss’s aunt’s family, her aunt made peace with them. Got married. The fourth young lady married at a low age, and she was a straightforward talker. The Hu family didn't dare to neglect her, let alone stop her. After going back and forth, people in Fuyang thought that she had a fierce personality and dared to say anything, so they were a little afraid of her.
This is something no one expected.
Gu Xi did not want to expose the ugliness of the Fourth Miss. She wanted to ask about the situation of the Hu family.
"I heard that when Fourth Aunt's grandma went back last time, she took her sister-in-law with her." She said thoughtfully, "I wonder if her sister-in-law told her?"
Gu Xi still believes in the character of the Pei family from the bottom of her heart. She feels that if the Pei family can marry a girl to the Hu family, the Hu family must have a good family tradition.
If Pei Fei can marry the Hu family, her relationship with the Pei family will be further improved, and her relationship with Pei Fei will be further improved. It will be even more difficult for the eldest wife to be a demon.
She doesn't want to waste all her energy on the eldest lady.
Pei Tong is coming to an end, and she has to find an enlightening teacher for her son.
She doesn't want her son to be like Pei Tong, who is better than a woman, hesitant and doesn't know what to do.
The second wife didn’t want to have anything to do with the eldest wife, so she said, “Why don’t you write a letter and ask the fourth aunt’s grandma?”
The fourth lady took her sister-in-law to the Pei family last time because she wanted to use the reputation of the Pei family to talk to her sister-in-law about a better family.
Yu Tang had already returned to Lin'an at that time. The Hu family and Yu Tang's natal sister-in-law's natal family were both in Fuyang. With Yu Tang's character, she would have formed such a good relationship.
However, that was all years ago. Gu Xi said it a bit late. I wonder if Miss Hu’s marriage has been settled?
But Gu Xi also had his own concerns.
Pei Fei was very disdainful of her before, so she had no business meddling with him.
Now, since he dares to resist the eldest lady, he and she are on the same boat, so she naturally wants a better relationship with them.
The two returned to the house, where Brother Yuan was taking a nap in the wet nurse's arms.
The second wife asked the wet nurse to take Brother Yuan down to rest first: "Stop torturing the child. When he sleeps well, you can stay here and have dinner before going back."
Gu Xi wanted to refuse at first, but then she thought that Pei Tong would not come back for dinner today. Pei Fei was so angry with the eldest lady that she went to Daxiangguo Temple to stay temporarily. She might as well not go back and leave the eldest lady at home alone. Dinner is ready.
She also decided not to let anyone tell the eldest lady at this time when Brother Yuan would wake up and when her people would report to the eldest lady.
It's none of the eldest lady's business when to have dinner.
After all, she didn’t expect the child to sleep for so long?
Gu Xi agreed with a smile, invited He Xiang in, and asked her to tell the eldest wife, and winked at He Xiang behind the back of the second wife.
He Xiang understood, nodded with a smile, and retreated.
The wet nurse held Brother Yuan in her arms and rested in the second wife's blue gauze cupboard.
The second wife was afraid of disturbing the child, so she and Gu Xi went to the small courtyard in the west where Gu Xi lived when he first came to the capital.
The small courtyard has changed a lot from when she moved out.
The place where peonies were originally planted was replaced by camellias, and a grape trellis and a rose flower wall were set up in the yard. Even though it was winter, the rose flowers were still blooming brilliantly and very brightly.
The gardener was hired by Yu Tang from outside. He was an honest and courteous person. He bowed solemnly and stood in front of the second wife to report on tidying up the courtyard: "As usual, the place where the third wife lives is full of green trees. , there are many flowers planted in the small yard, which vary throughout the year. If you think it is inappropriate, I will transplant all the flowers in the yard into flower pots while the weather has not completely cooled down. Put it in the greenhouse."
"No need!" The second wife had no intention of changing Yu Tang's decision back then, and said with a smile, "Even if this small courtyard is for people to live in, it is still prepared for the guests at home. It is good to have flowers and scenery. The third wife, It’s all the third master’s eccentricities, you don’t need to take it to heart.”
The gardener breathed a sigh of relief.
The second wife was accompanied by her mother-in-law to see the painted walls and the newly repainted ceiling.
It can be seen that they are all very attentive.
She couldn't help but said: "Did it cost a lot of money?"
After I finished speaking, I felt a little gaffe.
She has been staring at the one-third of an acre of land at home every day for the past few years, planning to eat and use it well. She is not old yet, but she already looks like a yellow-faced woman.
The second wife didn’t think much and said with a smile: “Your third uncle does whatever he does. My father-in-law is getting richer and richer, and we, too, have all benefited from it in the past few years.”
In other words, the money for repairing the house came from the public.
Gu Xi wanted to ask why it wasn't Pei Yan who came out, but thinking of the close relationship between the two Pei brothers, she swallowed her words in time.
When I returned to the house in the evening, the eldest lady really lost her temper. Call her and give her a severe lesson.
She had expected it.
When I came back, I sent my wet nurse to accompany Brother Yuan to rest first.
She lowered her head and allowed the eldest wife to curse.
The eldest lady was tired of scolding, panting and resting under the service of the maid. She walked out of the room quietly, and when she raised her head, she saw Pei Tong standing under the eaves.
The big red lantern shone on his face, which was cold and white, with a frosty chill.
She was startled and said: "When did you come back? Why didn't you say anything when you came back? My mother-in-law just took a rest, how about...you come back tomorrow morning to say hello to her?"
If it were normal times, Pei Tong would definitely not agree.
But this time, Pei Tong thought about it, nodded, and nodded to her calmly: "Let's go! It's quite cold, so you should go back to the house to rest early!"
Gu Xi responded meekly ~IndoMTL.com~ and followed Pei Tong, but her heart was filled with joy.
If it doesn’t work once, then twice, if it doesn’t work twice, then three times... One day, she will make Pei Tong hate the eldest lady when he sees her, and get upset when she hears her talk.
The next morning, Pei Tong did not go to greet the eldest wife. The reason given to Gu Xi was that he went to Daxiangguo Temple to find Pei Fei: "We can't let him live in the temple all the time."
When Gu Xi asked about the Yang family, Pei Tong also acted indifferently and said: "It is natural for relatives to help each other, but the money was left to my father by my grandfather, and the two uncles in the family are also in their prime. , take care of things, if you want to use that money, you have to say hello to your two uncles."
The implication is that it is not easy to handle.
I just want to find an excuse not to borrow it.
"Got it!" Gu Xi responded, snickering in her heart.
