Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mother's Love
Gu Xi knew that the purpose of Pei Tingyan and his two sons guarding the Sunset Courtyard was to protect Pei Jinxin.
This is also one of the reasons why she has tried to break her daughter's temperament for many years and finally failed.
In fact, she also knows in her heart that when a girl reaches the age of twelve or thirteen, she can even get married in a few years, her temper and personality are basically fixed, how difficult it is to change again, she is actually doing useless work.
But she is Pei Jinxin's mother, and it is her responsibility to educate her daughter, how can she take the initiative to give up her upbringing just because the child is not successful.
Arrogant and stubborn children have always been reluctant to go backwards, and they can't remember for a while, so they have to be patient.
She put aside the tea handed over by Pei Tingyan and said softly, "You all sit down." ”
Seeing that she didn't look angry, the Pei family's father and son sat down in the position they were used to on weekdays, while Pei Jinxin sat on the chair farthest away from his mother.
Gu Xi simply ignored her, turned his head to Pei Tingyan and said, "I originally wanted to discuss the marriage of Jincheng and Xiang'er with my sister today, but I didn't have time to say anything because of such a stir." ”
Pei Tingyan didn't want to be in-laws with Yuan Zheng, but he was very happy when he heard Gu Xi say this, and chuckled: "Today is not another day, Yuan Zongzhi wants to stay in Beijing anyway, and there are many opportunities." ”
Gu Chao shook his head and said: "Brother-in-law has always been a person who protects his shortcomings, and Xin'er made such a scene today, how could he easily agree to marry Xiang'er to our family, this matter has to be discussed in the long run." ”
Pei Tingyan doesn't like to listen to this, Yuan Zheng's protection is not fake, is he just an ornament?
What's more, Jin Cheng is so good and outstanding, there are almost too many girls who want to marry him, what's so unusual about a Yuan Xiang? If it weren't for the fact that she was the daughter of the eldest sister-in-law, he would not have agreed to this family affair.
He said coldly: "It's better not to mention it, who can't everyone in the capital marry?" If it weren't for the fact that Da Zhou's concubine was not allowed to participate in politics, our Princess Jin Chengshang would be more than enough. ”
Pei Jinxin echoed: "That is, Yuan Xiang is just a wild girl, you haven't seen how fierce she is today, but she is much more powerful than Gu Changhuan, it's just ...... No one believed me at all, and I was about to die. ”
Gu Xi didn't want to pay attention to the father and daughter, and said directly to Pei Jincheng: "Jincheng, what do you think of Xiang'er?" If you think she's suitable, after a while your mother will go and propose to you. ”
Pei Jincheng and Yuan Xiang have met three or four times, and they haven't even spoken properly, where can they say anything inappropriate.
And he knew since he was a child that he was the eldest son, and he would have to support the portal in the future, if Jinhong could barely make a little request in marriage, then he could only completely obey his parents' arrangements.
Therefore, he has been strict with himself since he was a child, focusing entirely on his studies, and never daring to indulge himself like boys of the same age.
Instead of making some mess when he was young, he should leave everything to his elders, and he believes that his mother will be able to choose the most suitable wife for him.
As for whether you like it or not, we will talk about it until then.
He stood up and walked to Gu Xi's side and said, "Sons listen to their father and mother. ”
Gu Xi shook his head and smiled: "What a stupid child, your wife is the one who wants to live with you for the rest of your life, your parents' opinions must be listened to, and your own mind is also very important." ”
Pei Jincheng completely lost his previous maturity and stability, and said with a red face: "But didn't my mother make a decision before, if not...... Today, you probably settled things with your aunt. ”
Gu Xi didn't expect that because of his anger with his daughter that day, he mentioned to Pei Tingyan that he wanted Xiang'er to be his daughter-in-law, and his attitude was a little tough, which made his son have such a misunderstanding.
She pulled Pei Jincheng to her side and sat down, and said with a soft smile: "Mother just has such an idea, and then go to test the meaning of your eldest aunt and uncle today." You are the eldest son, and the marriage is so easy to decide. ”
Pei Jincheng never thought that his mother would be so tolerant of his marriage, which means that he can also give some advice on the choice of his wife.
Although I don't dare to hope to find a like-minded woman, at least I can find one that looks pleasing to the eye.
There was obvious excitement in his voice: "Son, thank you, mother. ”
Hearing his mother say that Yuan Xiang couldn't be his sister-in-law for the time being, Pei Jinxin was in a good mood.
It's just that seeing her mother being so gentle to her eldest brother, she was a little jealous.
She pulled Pei Jinhong and muttered in a low voice: "I knew that my mother's favorite was the eldest brother, and the second time it was your turn, I picked it up in the field." ”
Pei Jinhong flicked a finger on her head: "You little conscienceless, we are three brothers and sisters, and your mother hurts you the most, don't be heard by your mother in this way, she will be sad." ”
Pei Jinxin pouted, how did the second brother know that she didn't know how many times she had said such things in front of her mother.
Moreover, the eldest brother and the second brother's marriage mother can ask them if they are happy or not, why no one has asked her whether she likes it or not.
It's the most annoying thing to get married.
She must meet Huo Xiao before the official marriage, if he is not as outstanding as everyone says, she will not fulfill the marriage contract even if she is killed.

Jingnan Hou Mansion.
Doudou accompanied Yuan Xiang back to Lanyue Pavilion.
Now that the old lady has spoken, then Yuan Xiang will have to stay in Lanyue Pavilion from today to start copying the Heart Sutra.
Copying scriptures is not a difficult task for Yuan Xiang, she is a girl who likes to read and write.
The difficult thing is that you can't take a step out of the Moon Pavilion for half a month.
She and Gongsun Mo hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and they were about to find an opportunity to go out of the house to find him, so the two discussed what to do next, but they didn't expect to be grounded.
Standing outside the gate of Lanyue Pavilion, Yuan Xiang didn't want to walk into this place of his own for the first time.
Once you go in, it will take half a month to come out again, who knows what the situation will be like at that time, will Gongsun Mo have the patience to continue to wait.
She simply took the wrong medicine today, no matter how ugly Pei Jinxin's words were, it was not worth paying such a big price.
"Come on, I have a lot more to ask you." Doudou saw that her sister was a little stunned, and turned her waist with her elbow and urged.
Yuan Xiang let out a sigh and walked in.
The two of them went to Chunhui Hall and didn't bring a maid with them, and when they saw that they were back, Cai Qing and Mulberry and Rufrost and Snow hurriedly surrounded them.
Ruxue hurriedly asked, "Girl, did the old lady punish you?" ”
Yuan Xiang smiled: "It's okay, it's just copying scriptures for my grandmother, and I can't go out for half a month." ”
Ruxue put her mind at ease, as long as the girl is not wronged, she and Rushuang are fine.
Doudou saw that the posture of walking like frost and snow was slightly unnatural, and he knew that they must have been punished by Grandma Jin, and most of them were beaten on the board.
The rules of Grandma Jin are that when you hit the maids on the board, there are at most five or six strokes, although there is no blood, it is also very uncomfortable.
These two maids are also sixteen years old, girls love face, and they don't mention the matter of being beaten.
She secretly glanced at her, and Yuan Xiang comprehended: "Like frost and snow, you two will take Cai Qing and Cai Mulberry to eat some snacks, and I will talk to Yuan'er." (To be continued.) )
