Chapter 293: The Gong
After the two walked out of the courtyard together, Pei Minzhong went straight to the outer courtyard to have a New Year's greeting with the male guests, and Xuanhui waited for Mrs. Jiang at the side gate of East Road and went to Mrs. Tai with Pei Xuanye at night.

The three old ladies with their two daughters-in-law, three granddaughters-in-law, granddaughters, and great-granddaughters, each of them called a girl, a mother-in-law, and a nursing mother, and her house alone occupied most of the main courtyard.
Xuan Hui smiled and stepped forward to greet everyone, Grandma Feng Si came to her and gave her a look, Xuan Hui smiled quietly and nodded, still chatting with Grandma Lan Liu: "...... Is Huangshan's body still tough? Has Sixth Brother Lan ever been guided by his old man? ”
Grandma Lanliu smiled: "I still have your blessing to the princess, and after just two months of going to Huangshan, he gave a topic, asking Xianggong to make a text for his old man to see." Although I looked at the circles above and there were criticisms, Xianggong was very happy. I only hope that Huang Shanchang can wake up this elm head, and it will not be in vain for the princess and Xue Changshi's recommendation. ”
When the third lady heard this, she turned around and pouted and smiled: "The chief of Huangshan is just a mortal, how can he have the ability of the Buddha to be empowered?" You also know that Rokuro is an elm pimple, so it's better to be a farmer with peace of mind as soon as possible! ”
Pei Shuangxi listened to it and couldn't help but say: "My brother at least knows how to study and improve, and I don't know what Fifth Brother Ze does at home every day?" ”
"Oh, I forgot," she said with a smile covering her mouth, "Fifth Brother Ze wasn't always at home. ”
Grandma Ze Wu is a distant relative of the third wife, and the two families are married only because of this relationship. Because the third wife is a stepfamily, her background is not high, and Grandma Zewu is even more ordinary. Pei Zeyin was dissatisfied with his wife, and the third wife stopped him from accepting a concubine, so he found a satisfactory self to raise outside.
The third wife's face instantly drooped, and she said: "No matter how bad the old five families are, they are still Jinling Pei's family, how can the girl raised be so unruly?" Don't say anything that is not motivated," she continued, smiling contemptuously, "if the family is going to be okay, who wants to make the child suffer that sin?" No matter what happens to our family, we don't need to let Ze Ge'er earn his life! ”
Mrs. Tai sat at the top, looking at the dispute below, and did not speak with an indifferent expression.
After a banquet was so lively, Mrs. Tai was waited by the maid to rinse her mouth and clean her hands, cleared her throat, and said with a smile: "When Mu'er took someone to Suzhou City to ask me for a famous doctor, she also brought some good tea back, and she didn't distribute it at all, and she paid tribute to my old wife." Let's all go to the front hall and let those gentlemen taste it. ”
The main hall of the outer courtyard of the Chengguo Mansion is the most solemn place in the entire Guogong Mansion except for the ancestral hall, which is only opened when the Guogong and the prince get married and receive the holy decree.
Grandma Lanliu's family and the rest of the relatives of the side branches were a little surprised, and she saw Xuanhui smiling and accompanying Mrs. Jiang forward, so she led her mother-in-law and sister-in-law over.
Pei Xuanye asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, what's the big deal today?" ”
Xuanhui nodded quietly and said in a low voice: "It's hard to tell you a word, you and your mother just sit down later, and everything is with your brother and me." ”
Pei Xuanye glanced at the shadowy guards near the main hall of the outer courtyard, and nodded vigilantly.
The male guests were all seated at this time, and Xuan Hui glanced at Pei Minzhong, who was leisurely drinking tea, but he didn't speak, only smiled at her.
Someone from the Pei family, who was following behind, muttered in a low voice: "A talent like the prince is only worthy of a princess...... It's rare that two people are still like this, hey, why do you say that people's lives are so different! ”
The other covered his mouth and smiled: "Be content, you!" Without the life of the princess, do you still want someone like the prince? Be careful of being heard by your uncle and angry with you! ”
Mrs. Tai went straight to the Taishi chair on the right side of the head, ordered the maid to serve tea, and specially asked someone to bring a cup of tea next to the empty chair on the left side of the head.
"Grandpa Guo is blessed, and he has never had a day of filial piety to his grandson in his life. Today's New Year, I also offered him a cup of tea and asked him to taste Mu'er's filial piety. As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Pei Mu walked out of the crowd, knelt in the center of the main hall, kowtowed three times, and said with a crying voice: "My grandson is not blessed and has not been able to serve my grandfather." Fortunately, my grandmother is in good health, and my grandson will work hard to make progress, and when he comes out in the future, he will add luster to his grandmother's face! The grandson has to do everything he can, so that the grandmother can take care of the whole year, in order to fulfill the grandson's filial piety! ”
When Mrs. Tai saw him like this, tears fell like rain in an instant, and she didn't know if she missed her deceased husband and touched the scene, or she was really moved by Pei Mu's pretentiousness.
Xuanhui picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup. Tea is good tea, but this drama is a little clumsy.
Mrs. Tai cried and helped Pei Mu up, hugged him and cried: "You must know how to work hard!" Grandmother's life glory is enough, I don't want you to add it! I just hope that you have a chance, and don't let others bully you at will! ”
The third master said loudly on the side: "What is this talk of Mrs. Tai!" There are so many people in the family, and Jiulang is here, who dares to bully Eleven Lang! ”
Mrs. Tai took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped her tears, and said in a low voice: "Mu'er's temperament, who can make him suffer a loss?" When you talk about family, what I'm afraid of is family! As she spoke, she glanced at Pei Minzhong meaningfully, and then said: "I have always been healthy, but I only had a difficult illness a few years ago, and after only three or five days of work, some people became impatient. People say that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, I only say that we are people, there will never be such a thing, I didn't expect that I lived to this age, but it really made me see once! ”
When Pei Minzhong saw Mrs. Tai looking at him, his eyes returned to the past, smiled faintly, and did not speak.
There was a person in the side branch of the Pei family who coveted Mrs. Tai's share of the property, so he said at this time: "...... Mrs. Tai, this is Jiulang! Last time, Mrs. Tai was sick, so she came to her for two or three days, and then she didn't see her face much...... And that, princess, in the end, Jin Zhiyuye is impatient to serve people......"
When Pei Minzhong heard this, he became a little annoyed. He walked up to Mrs. Tai and arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai's words seem to be meaningful, it is better to open the skylight and say something bright, anyway, everyone here is close relatives, and if there are any bad words, they can't spread outside." ”
Seeing that he was still calm and relaxed at this time, Mrs. Tai was a little pity. If Pei Mu can have half of the courage in front of him, how can he still worry about it!
"Since Jiurou said so, what does my wife have to hide? I was sick a few years ago, and you, counting your mother, daughter-in-law, and sister, how many nights did you stay in front of the bed? How many times have you served your food and how many times have you decocted your medicine? ”
