Delicate Flower: Extra 6

On the day Yu Tang's boat arrived at the dock, snowflakes started falling early in the morning.

When Gu Xi arrived at the dock with everyone, the road was already completely white.

Nanny Jin held a tung oil paper umbrella painted with red plums and helped the second wife out of the carriage.

The second wife said: "It's snowing really hard. We won't have to spend the night in Tongzhou, right?"

If they continue like this, they may really have to spend a night in Tongzhou.

Gu Xi, who got off the carriage after the second wife, couldn't help but said: "It's a good thing I didn't bring Brother Yuan here."

Otherwise, you will definitely get cold.

The second wife nodded repeatedly.

Nanny Jin said: "It's okay to stay here for one more night. Anyway, the charcoal is enough to burn, the old lady has also come to the capital, the second master, the fifth miss and the third young master are all around, so the New Year is not so lively."

The second wife thinks about it, what she said makes sense.

She laughed, pointed to one of the three-sailed boats and said to Gu Xi, "Look! That's our boat."

Gu Xi looked along.

It turned out to be a sand ship.

The sails of several feet were raised high, very majestic.

Gu Xi couldn't help but said: "Did our family change boats?"

She remembered that the Pei family's original boat was a blessing boat, but now it has been replaced by a sand boat that is easier to maneuver in the lake. Moreover, the Peng family is good at making lucky boats, and the Wu family is good at making sand boats.

Is there any connection between this?

Gu Xi's heart was in a mess.

How could the second wife know? She smiled and said: "The original Fu Chuan at home was bought by my great-grandfather when he was still alive. It is a bit old. Your third uncle replaced this sand boat a few years ago. He said it is more suitable for our family. I don't understand either. I I just feel that the new ship is more beautiful than the old ship, and the decoration inside is also better."

After she finished speaking, she laughed a few times.

Gu Xi also laughed a few times.

Gu Hong, who was wearing a silver rat skin cloak, ran over and said, "Mom, Dad asked me to accompany you on the boat."

The second wife stretched her neck and looked at Pei Xuan: "Where is your father?"

"I'm accompanied by two cousins!" Pei Hong said, stepped forward to help her mother, and said, "My father said that he was afraid that you would slip."

The second wife smiled happily.

Aunt Jin was busy saying: "Look, how filial the third young master is!"

"That's right!" The second wife glanced at her son appreciatively.

Pei Hong was a little naughty in the past, but since he heard from Pei Xuan that six-year-old Pei Jiang from his third uncle's family had finished studying the "Three Character Classic" and could read "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", he panicked and started to study seriously. Needless to say, I have become much more docile towards my parents.

The second wife couldn't help but said: "Your fourth and fifth brothers have also come to the capital this time. As the elder brother, you have to be tolerant and give them more time."

She said so that Pei Hong's face turned red and he murmured in a low voice: "Mom, how old am I? Are you still worried that I will fight with my two younger brothers?"

"It won't be a fight." The second wife couldn't help laughing and said, "You have always been the youngest in our family, and everyone in the family has given way to you. I'm afraid you won't get used to it by then."

Pei Hong whispered: "No matter how dissatisfied I am, I can't argue with my two younger brothers who are still in charge, right?"

That’s good!

The second wife hurriedly apologized: "It's my mother's fault, my mother should believe you more!"

"Got it!" Pei Hong responded softly, and her face indeed improved a lot.

The second wife had her son by her side and went to find her daughter.

I saw Pei Dan and Xu Xuan getting out of the carriage, all wearing cloaks, and their respective maids holding umbrellas, talking together.

She walked over.

"Mom!"

""Second wife! ”

Pei Dan and the others were all shouting.

The second wife could not help but feel a little distressed, and hurriedly said: "With such heavy snow, the bridge of the ship must be very slippery. We will also greet the old lady later, so you just stay in the carriage. The old lady loves you the most She's a junior, she's already very happy that you can pick her up in person, and she doesn't care about these false courtesy."

Xu Xuan and others hesitated.

Pei Dan called Gu Xi: "Sister-in-law, please stay with us! Just let my brother accompany my mother on the boat. Otherwise, if there are too many people there, there will be something wrong, and there will be nothing." OK."

When Gu Xi saw Pei Tong and Yin Mingyuan standing in front of the carriage talking, and then heard what Pei Dan said, she felt very unhappy.

Pei Xuan and the second wife were just her cousins, but Mrs. Pei was Pei Tong’s biological grandmother. He did not try to accompany Pei Xuan on the ship to pay his respects to Mrs. Pei, but instead gave this opportunity to Pei Chan. and Pei Bo, no wonder after so many years, they still can't pick it up at the critical moment.

She wondered if she should find an excuse and accompany the second wife to the boat, but when Pei Dan said this, the second wife also woke up, patted Gu Xi's hand comfortingly and said, "I don't think so. Thoughtful. If the bridge of the ship is slippery, it will be safer for you on the shore." Then he said, "Just wait here with Adan and the others? It's snowing, and we should get off the ship soon."

Otherwise, the snow will fall heavier and heavier, and the bridge will become increasingly slippery.

Pei Hong stood nearby, and Gu Xi naturally couldn't hold on. She smiled and told the second wife to be careful, and watched the second wife get on the boat.

Pei Dan asked her: "Are you cold? Do you want to sit in the carriage for a while?"

There is a brazier on the carriage, which is warmer than standing outside.

Gu Xi wanted to say a few words to Pei Tong and told him to stay with Pei Xuan as much as possible if he had a chance later, so he smiled and declined Pei Dan politely: "You guys go to the carriage to take shelter! I feel a little dizzy while riding in the car, so I just need to get some fresh air."

Pei Dan didn't know if he was frozen or something, but he didn't show any politeness, so he and Xu Xuan got into the carriage again.

Miss Zhang lowered her voice and said to Pei Dan: "Your hostess is quite close to the second wife."

Pei Dan didn't like talking about Gu Xi, so he smiled and nodded.

Pei Chan’s wife Yang and Miss Zhang’s husband-in-law, that is, Yang Chunhe, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, are from the same family. Her father is the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province. Miss Xu was the matchmaker for Pei Chan’s marriage. She and these people are all Very familiar.

She looked at it, tugged on Miss Zhang's lapel, and changed her words: "I have only heard you talk about third aunt, and today is the first time I met you. Do you think I'm okay with this? I'm afraid Leave a bad impression on the elders."

Ms. Yang was Pei Chan’s cousin after she was nominated for the Gold List. No one from Pei Chan’s hometown has ever seen her.

Xu Xuan didn't want to say much about Gu Xi. She clapped her hands after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. She must like you."

Ms. Yang didn't speak anymore, she pursed her lips and smiled, listening to Xu Xuan and Miss Zhang playing with each other.

Seeing that it was time to add charcoal again, the woman outside began to shout: "The second master is helping the old lady get off the boat."

Everyone quickly got off the carriage, and Yang saw Gu Xi standing next to Pei Tong. The two of them didn’t know what they said. Pei Tong’s face was a little ugly, but Gu Xi was smiling, leaving Pei Tong walked quickly towards the sand boat docked on the shore.

Yang shook her head, feeling that Gu Xi was a little too eager.

Pei Dan and the second wife are serious mother and daughter. What does it mean for her to always hang out with the second wife like this?

Gu Xi was extremely angry at this time.

Pei Tong felt that what she said made sense, but he was unwilling to do it. He also said, "I was the one who wanted to separate the sects in the first place. How will people think of me now if I dare to do it so shamelessly?

In this world, the bold will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death. If you carry this face in everything, then you won't be able to accomplish anything.

She had no choice but to do it herself.

He rushed to the front to greet Pei Xuan and Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei is old after all.

The shiny black hair that Gu Xi remembered was now half black and half white tied in the forehead, and there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. Although the complexion was rosy, she looked like a grandmother, like an old man. .

Mrs. Pei was very kind to her. She was the first to greet her and said, "Is this from A Tong's family? It's still the same as before, not much has changed!"

Gu Xi immediately went to salute and even pulled Pei Tong - he was the eldest grandson after all, why should he be ranked behind everyone.

Perhaps after listening to Gu Xi's words, although he was a little awkward, he still walked forward with a smile.

Mrs. Pei seemed to be no longer as tough as before. She saw that Pei Tong's eyes suddenly became moist. She looked at Pei Tong for a long time, as if she wanted to find someone's shadow in him.

Pei Tong felt something in his heart, and looked at Mrs. Pei with eyes full of admiration.

Mrs. Pei sighed in her heart and said to Pei Tong: "No need to be polite. I heard that you have been working very hard during this period. If you don't understand anything, just ask your second or third uncle. Your third uncle? , I stayed in the countryside for the past few years and taught a few good students."

Pei Tong wiped his tears.

Gu Xi's gaze had long passed past Pei Lao'an and landed behind them.

Unfortunately, she did not see Yu Tang, but instead saw Pei Yan and a group of strange men.

Gu Xi frowned almost invisible.

The older men in the group were twenty-seven or eighty years old, while the younger ones were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although some were wearing silk and some were wearing fine cloth, they were all dressed as literati.

Who are these people?

Gu Xi was thinking secretly and saw Yin Mingyuan walking over.

He first saluted Mrs. Pei, and then said hello to Pei Yan.

Pei Yan is still as indifferent as before.

He nodded towards Yin Mingyuan and introduced the group of scribes to him: "This is Shen Fang. Shen County Yu's nephew, this is Zhang Hui, our Lin'an Juren, this is Fu Xiaoxiao..."

They were all coming to attend the Spring Festival this time. Knowing that Pei Yan was going to Beijing, they took the Pei family's boat and came to the capital together.

Yin Mingyuan saluted and exchanged greetings one by one.

Gu Xi listened, wanting to know who Wei Xiaochuan was, and winked at Pei Tong, gesturing for him to make friends with these people.

Who knew that Pei Tong's thoughts were all on Mrs. Pei. He helped Mrs. Pei instead of Pei Xuan and asked in a low voice about Mrs. Pei's journey, unable to receive her eyes at all.

Gu Xi could only focus on the group of scribes again. ~IndoMTL.com~ The seemingly youngest scribe is Wei Xiaochuan.

Gu Xi took a few more glances.

Wei Xiaochuan seems to have a very introverted personality. When Pei Yan introduced him to Yin Mingyuan, he blushed, hid behind Pei Yan, and murmured a few words to Yin Mingyuan, which made everyone laugh.

Being an official is like being a human being, and it requires more than just being able to read.

Gu Xi didn't like him very much, and his eyes fell on Pei Tong again.

Pei Xuan was talking to Pei Tong with a face full of relief. Mrs. Pei looked aside and kept nodding.

The atmosphere is very good.

Gu Xi thought for a while and walked over.
