Delicate Flower: Extra 2

Gu Xi often walked around Pei's house, and the boy knew who she was, so he knew what she was saying: "The old lady is coming to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and the second master asked me to clean up the west yard."

As soon as Pei Xuan was promoted, he offered Pei Lao'an a title. Gu Xi didn't even know that the title had been issued.

The people in Pei Mansion have changed their names.

Gu Xi felt her heart beating even harder, but she suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said happily: "This is really a happy event. I just don't know when the old lady will arrive in the capital? Who will accompany her here?"

Back then, Pei Laoan and his eldest wife went to Beijing together, planning to spend the New Year in the capital, then go to Mount Tai and then return to Lin'an. As a result, Yu Tang was pregnant. Pei Lao'an was overjoyed. He left Yu Tang in the capital and went to Mount Tai alone. He said he wanted to ask for a peace charm for Yu Tang. After returning to the capital, he helped Yu Tang. After confinement, when Yu Tang's eldest son was one year old, Pei Dan left the pavilion and then returned to Lin'an.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi's hands holding the child tightened.

Hearing this, the young man shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't know when the old lady will arrive in the capital, and I don't know who will accompany the old lady. The big steward just asked us to clean out the house overnight in the past two days."

It's only mid-October.

Gu Xi asked a few more questions, but the boy didn't understand. She was afraid that asking too many questions would attract the attention of others, so she said with a smile: "Thank you very much, brother", and gestured to the boy to reward him with the lotus fragrance. With a few pennies, he and Hexiang continued to the second wife's place.

Hexiang looked at Gu Xi's expression, and couldn't help but whisper: "Young lady, the old lady is coming over, should we prepare?"

In addition to welcoming her with the people from the Pei Mansion, she also has to prepare some unusual things to honor Mrs. Pei. It would be even better if she could invite Mrs. Pei to her home for a meal or something.

Gu Xi said "hmm" absentmindedly, wondering if Yu Tang would follow Mrs. Pei to Beijing.

She didn't know how the Pei family's business had been in the past two years, but the Yu family's business was getting bigger and bigger. Just at the beginning of the year, Yu Yuan and a fellow villager named Yao San opened a grocery store in the capital. She went to take a look around.

There are five shops in the most prosperous area of ​​​​West Street. In addition to selling lacquerware, they also sell some imported goods. However, unlike the Tao family's luxury, the imported goods in the Yu family's grocery store are relatively cheap. For those who want something new and want to buy for fun.

However, there are quite a few people buying it.

I don’t know how much the Pei family helped from it?

Gu Xi thought, and the two of them quickly arrived at the second wife's main room.

The little maid went to report to the second wife, and Grandma Jin personally welcomed them in with a smile on her face.

The second wife was sitting on the Arhat couch and was talking to a few women in charge. As soon as they came in, they stopped talking. The second wife also stood up and clapped her hands towards Brother Yuan and said, "Oh, our brother Yuan The son is here!"

Brother Yuan often comes here, but he doesn’t recognize his identity and rushes towards the second wife with a smile.

The second wife happily hugged Brother Yuan.

The maids serving beside him helped Brother Yuan take off his hat, scarf and cloak.

The ladies in charge saluted Gu Xi.

Gu Xi said a few polite words and stepped forward to say hello to the second wife.

The second wife put Brother Yuan, who was more flexible because he had taken off his clothes, on the Luohan couch. She took a kumquat for Brother Yuan to chew, and said to Gu Xi with a smile: "It's not like that. , no need to be so polite."

That being said, Gu Xi cannot really understand the rules.

The second wife said to the mother-in-law in charge: "That's it for today. You should follow my instructions first. If there is anything inappropriate, come back to me."

The women in charge said "yes" and filed away.

Gu Xi asked He Xiang to give the pear paste to the maid next to the second wife. She smiled and said to the second wife: "The pears this time are not as good as last time, so I added some tangerine peel. If the second aunt eats it, she will feel uncomfortable." Okay, let the maids tell He Xiang and I will make some more."

The second wife smiled and thanked her, and said with some emotion: "Thank you for your trouble. You are more careful than our Adan."

How could Gu Xi dare to answer this and said with a smile: "Adan is young and the child is naughty, so she is powerless." After answering this sentence, she immediately changed the subject and talked about He said what he saw when he entered the house: "It is said that grandma is coming to Beijing. I don't know that the decree has been issued yet, so I have to celebrate." He then said, "When will she come to Beijing? You must be sure by then You have to tell me. She even made a special trip to visit A ​​Tong last time, and we all remember it in our hearts!"

The second wife laughed.

Although Pei Lao'an doesn't like his eldest daughter-in-law, he feels sorry for his eldest grandson.

After I came to Beijing last time, I went to see where they lived and even warned Pei Tong for a long time.

The second wife thought for a while and said to Gu Xi, "It's not your grandmother who is coming, but your third uncle. In the first year of the Emperor's accession to the throne, your third uncle wants to come to the capital to visit. Your third aunt will definitely follow. , the old lady couldn’t bear to leave her two young grandsons, so she came with her.”

Ever since she saw the boys cleaning the yard, Gu Xi had wondered whether Yu Tang would come.

Now that the news has been confirmed, he has calmed down.

She smiled and said: "Third aunt and third uncle are still so good. They have to carry them with them wherever they go. But it makes the old lady suffer."

After all, we are divided into sects. Some things can be said, but some things are inconvenient to say.

The second wife smiled and said: "They are young couples after all, so it is normal for them to like to stick together. I listen to your second uncle. They estimate that they will arrive at the end of the month. I will let someone tell you then, you Come and kowtow to the old lady."

Gu Xi responded with a smile and asked about Yu Tang's two sons: "Brother Jiang and Brother Qian are going to have babies, right?"

Yutang’s two sons, the eldest son Jiang Geer was born on November 2nd, and the second son was born on December 6th.

It used to be okay if they were not in the capital, but now they are coming to the capital, and they, who are cousins, must give them a birthday gift no matter what.

The second wife said curiously: "You still remember!"

Gu Xi nodded with a smile and wiped his son's chin, which was full of fruit juice, with a handkerchief.

How could she forget!

Yu Tang’s eldest son Pei Jiang was four years older than her brother Yuan, and when Pei Jiang was three years old, Yu Tang gave birth to her second son Pei Qian. For this reason, the eldest lady gave her a lot of looks. She was so angry with the eldest lady that she had to pretend to be nonchalant and send gifts to Lin'an.

She will remember it all her life.

The second wife put a veil around Brother Yuan and said with a smile: "So your second uncle said that this is a rare opportunity, so we must give Brother Jiang and Brother Qi a good birthday."

If there is no accident, Pei Xuan will stay in the capital for at least twenty years, and there will not be many opportunities to see Pei Jiang and Pei Qian.

Gu Xi could only pretend to be happy and said with a smile: "I will help when the time comes."

"That's natural." The second wife said, remembering Pei Fei's marriage, and said, "It hasn't been decided yet? What does your mother-in-law mean?"

Pei Fei is already weak this year, and there is no sign of her marriage.

Gu Xi sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, and her tone was a bit softer than usual: "It's not like there are no good families who are willing to marry our family, but my mother-in-law wants to find someone who can help her wholeheartedly. She is too young. My uncle has never even passed a college examination in the past few years, so his marriage has been a bit difficult."

More than a little difficult!

According to the standards of the eldest wife, only if a family is crazy, they will marry their daughter to Pei Fei.

After all is said and done, the Yang family has to be blamed for this incident.

Seeing that they had received 150,000 taels of silver, the second and third masters of the Yang family had to rely on the Pei family for help. After the eldest wife arrived in the capital, they proposed that Pei Fei be their son-in-law.

The eldest wife was feeling empty because of the matter of dividing the sect, so she agreed as soon as she heard it, and asked Gu Xi to give five thousand taels of silver to the Yang family as a betrothal gift.

Who would have known that Pei Fei failed to live up to expectations and failed several government examinations. The Yang family may not think highly of him. In addition, after the seventh daughter of the Song family married the nephew of the Jiangsu Chief Minister, the Song family secretly gained a lot. The good thing is that the girls from the Yang family are good-looking, so getting married is easy. Several girls from the Yang family have been married to good families, but they have never decided which girl in the family will be betrothed to Pei Tong.

This matter was delayed again and again, until Pei Tong failed the examination in the second spring. The Yang family never mentioned the marriage again, but Pei Fei was getting older and it was difficult to find a wife.

The second wife originally advised the eldest wife to lower her standards and find a girl from a family with farming and education, even a talented girl. However, the eldest wife felt that the second wife was mocking her, so she took this into her heart and thought wholeheartedly. When they wanted to find Pei Fei a daughter from a third-rank official, some were willing to agree for Pei Xuan's sake, but the girl they wanted to marry was a concubine, which made the eldest wife sick again.

Nowadays, Pei Fei's marriage is neither high nor low, but because she has seen each other more often and her reputation has spread, it is even harder to find a suitable one.

The second wife also thought of this public case. Several years later, she was still angry and a little dissatisfied. She said, "I still treat her as my sister-in-law, so that's why I have anything to say. But she only thinks about it. I believe in the Yang family." At this point, thinking that Gu Xi was a junior, he didn't have the nerve to continue complaining, but asked about the Yang family, "Didn't the emperor grant amnesty to the world when he ascended the throne? I don't remember clearly, the Yang family The third young lady is still the fifth young lady, and she is married to a young minister from Dali Temple as her daughter-in-law. The second and third masters of their family should be back soon, right?"

"It's the fifth young lady of their family." When Gu Xi came over this time, she was originally wondering if she could find a chance to talk to the second wife about this matter. The second wife took the initiative to mention ~IndoMTL.com~ She was secretly happy, but her face showed a look of anger, and said, "If you don't mention this matter, I won't mention it either. You don't know that the people in their family How dirty is it to help the second and third masters come to our house to borrow money, and only asked for 50,000 taels.

“My mother-in-law actually wants to lend it to them!

"I had no choice but to ask my mother-in-law, who does this fifty thousand taels of silver belong to? Where did it come from?

"My mother-in-law mentioned the 150,000 taels of silver that the old man gave us.

"I just said that of the 150,000 taels of silver, 50,000 taels were given by my second uncle and belong to the public. One hundred thousand taels of which are what we deserve. The two brothers should be divided into five pieces each. I calculated the various expenses at home in the past few years to my mother-in-law. Then I called my brother-in-law and asked him if he agreed. If he agreed, I would take out twenty-five thousand taels from his name. In addition to the five thousand taels of silver given to the Yang family, I will give him the twenty thousand taels of silver when he gets married.

"He just needs to stop saying that I took his money."
