Chapter 103: Collapse in an instant
Pei Tingyan angrily returned to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and strode all the way to the Xixia Courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard the sound of happy laughter coming from the warm pavilion from a distance, and he couldn't help but pause.
The maids and ladies guarding the porch had just wanted to come over to salute, but he waved his hand to stop them.
He walked lightly closer to the Warm Pavilion.
It turned out that he was the only one who was isolated, and his wife and children have always lived happily.
Pei Jincheng is eighteen years old and has already begun to receive errands, but Pei Jinhong is still studying in Guozi Prison.
The two of them are also very busy on weekdays, and sometimes it is difficult to get together for ten and a half months to say a few whole words.
At noon, they rarely had the opportunity to go back to their homes to eat, but they didn't expect to be all nested in their mother's yard today.
And, listen to what they are talking about......
"Yuan'er, you finally know that you feel sorry for your second brother, today's dishes are obviously better than yesterday's."
"Mother, the second brother will only eat Beijing food all his life, and he doesn't know how to appreciate it at all. It's still the eldest brother who is the best, he says it's delicious whatever I do, and the second brother hates it the most! ”
"Hey-big brother, tell me, what Yuan'er made yesterday was all Jiangnan-style dishes, isn't it a little light?"
"As long as it's made by my sister, everything is the best."
"Big brother, why didn't I find out that you were still a sycophant......"
"Haha......"
There were bursts of laughter in the warm pavilion.
Gu Xi's laughter was soft, Doudou's laughter was crisp, and the Pei family brothers were gentle and clear, and they could imagine what a happy picture the house was without looking.
Pei Tingyan's anger was extinguished in this way, and it was replaced by extreme sourness.
Jin Cheng and Jin Hong have received the strictest upbringing since they were children, and they have always behaved in moderation.
The brothers, who have always eaten and slept silently, would be so indulgent when eating.
Gu Xi doesn't have to say that he loves his children, but he also has high requirements for them, especially his two sons, otherwise how could they have such a good reputation in Beijing?
But today, just because they are with Yuanyuan, the mother and son seem to have changed as if they were different people.
What's the difference with those small people?
But he had to admit that it seemed more flavorful for a family to get along like this, and he felt hot in his heart just by listening to it.
It doesn't matter anymore, outsiders can't see it anyway.
The biggest blow to his ears was the message revealed in the conversation between the two sons.
The meals they eat now, and even the meals they have eaten in the past few days, are all made by that girl in Yuanyuan?
In other words, the lunch that was sent to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials in the last seven miles was made by his daughter Pei Tingyan!
Yuanzongzhi!
Yuanyuan!
Are they going to themselves off before they stop!
In his impression, there are not a few noble ladies who know how to cook, but they only understand, and there are very few people who are really willing to wash their hands and make soup after all.
This is what Yuan Zongzhi called loving Yuan Yuan?
If you really love her, how can you be willing to let her work hard in the smoky kitchen to prepare food for him!
It just doesn't make sense!
At this time, Pei Tingyan was already carried away by jealousy and almost lost his mind.
Or he couldn't accept that his daughter was so good to Yuan Zheng, and couldn't help but impose a reason on this goodness.
It must be that Yuan Zongzhi was jealous that he married Ah Xi, so he used Yuan Yuan as a rough maid to achieve the purpose of revenge on himself.
It must be like this!
Thinking about it like this, Pei Tingyan felt a little more comfortable, as long as he was good to his daughter, he would press Yuanzongzhi down sooner or later.
He stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the warm pavilion, only to see that there were only Gu Xi's mother and son inside, and there was not even a maid to wait.
There are more than a dozen plates on the yellow rosewood round table, and the dishes inside have been eaten so badly that they are completely unrecognizable.
Pei Jincheng's performance was quite decent, but the smile on his face was a little indulgent.
Pei Jinhong was full of oil, and he sat crookedly on the chair, without a straight shape.
Seeing that his father, who was supposed to be working in the yamen, suddenly appeared at the door of the warm pavilion, the Pei family brothers quickly reined in and stood up.
Pei Jincheng's performance was quite natural, but Pei Jinhong couldn't retract his head into the collar.
It seems that my father is still very authoritative in front of my brothers!
Doudou also stood up and stood beside Pei Jincheng.
Gu Xi walked slowly to Pei Tingyan's side and said with a smile: "Master Hou came back quite early today, isn't the yamen busy?" ”
Pei Tingyan glared at Pei Jinhong, and then looked at Gu Xi: "Madame is so lively here, can you give your husband a bite of delicious food?" ”
Gu Xi was slightly surprised: "It's been this hour, and the Hou Ye hasn't eaten yet?" ”
Her husband was unhappy, and she could see it.
But no matter how smart Gu Xi is, she can't guess the real reason why Pei Tingyan is unhappy.
It was about to see their mother and son having a lively meal, but he couldn't catch up, so he was jealous.
A man in his thirties is so cautious, what kind of dry vinegar does he eat with his wife and children!
Sure enough, I only heard Pei Tingyan say sourly: "Madame, didn't you see the corners of my mouth soaking, how can I eat those meals in the yamen." ”
Gu Xi couldn't help but glance at him, he actually learned to be coquettish!
She turned her head and called out to the warm pavilion: "Dian Cui!" ”
Diancui immediately walked in and blessed the body: "Madam." ”
Gu Xi said: "You go to the small kitchen, tell you to boil some white rice porridge on the stove, make a few lighter side dishes, and send them to Hou Ye in a while." ”
Without waiting for Cui to answer, Pei Tingyan waved his hand and said, "No need." ”
White rice porridge! Light side dishes!
What's the difference between this and what he just ate in the yamen? He came back to eat this because he was sick!
Gu Xi didn't know why he said: "Didn't Master Hou say that you want to eat, the corners of your mouth are soaked, and you still want to eat some big fish, meat, mountains and seafood, but you can't eat lightly." ”
Pei Tingyan endured his anger and said: "White rice porridge is white rice porridge, but I want to eat Yuan'er's making." ”
Doudou's beautiful eyes looked at Pei Tingyan slightly, and after making trouble for a long time, this father came for himself!
Pei Jincheng couldn't hold it back, and he couldn't retract his head into the collar like his younger brother.
The two brothers were looking at each other, and their shoulders were swaying suspiciously.
Is this still their tall, mighty and unsmiling father (Hou Ye)? The tall image that they had maintained in their minds for more than ten years collapsed in an instant, and nothing was left.
Gu Xi sneered lightly: "Yuan'er is not a cook, cooking is just an interest and occasional, how can you be so hypocritical as a father?" I don't know I feel sorry for my daughter at all. ”
Pei Tingyan blocked his chest in one breath, and he couldn't go up or down.
Since he recognized his daughter, his anger has not been smooth for a day!
Yuan Yuan is not a cook?
For a few days in a row, he cooked for Yuan Zongzhi and his wife for two stinky boys and his wife, which was done occasionally?
Is it hypocrisy when it's his turn?
Their table full of delicacies effortlessly?
He just wants to eat a little porridge and side dishes, but he doesn't know how sorry for his daughter?
There is no reason for this!
