Chapter 257: Twin Tides
Listening to Liang Zhan's words, Pei Min had mixed tastes in the center. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
From the two of them fighting side by side and jointly relieving the siege of Xuzhou, to the later Northern Expedition to seize a large area of land in southern Henan, in all fairness, Pei Minzhong admired Wang Yu's talent and personality very much, especially Wang Yu's methods and strategies of leading troops and his style of eating and living with soldiers, Pei Minzhong simply wanted to take him as a confidant.
However, since he learned that Wang Yu had different thoughts about Xuanhui, Pei Minzhong felt angry when he heard this name, and there was a trace of unconfidence and apprehension. He sometimes even thinks that if he and Wang Yu meet Xuanhui at the same time, it is really difficult to say who the flowers will be.
However, Wang Yu's behavior is frank and unrestrained, and he has never done anything out of the way to Xuanhui, so that Pei Minzhong has nowhere to vent his evil fire.
But one yard is one yard, Wang Yu is still very loyal to Da Zhou, so he should not fall because of his father's involvement.
Pei Minzhong made up his mind in his heart to remind Wang Yu at the right time.

It's May in the blink of an eye, and everyone is busy washing winter clothes and putting them in boxes. Yang Yunshu also prepared two sets of new clothes, a few Luo fan brocade handkerchiefs and a small basket of zongzi for Xuanhui.
Xuanhui tried on the new clothes, looked and looked in front of the dressing mirror, and said with a smile: "It's good to be a new daughter-in-law, I'm busy, and I have really added a lot of new clothes this year." ”
Pei Minzhong put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm going to get married for a few new clothes, should I give myself a grievance?" ”
Xuanhui felt that the carmine silk spring shirt on his body was a little too gorgeous, so he asked Yuan Xiang to find a plain gauze shirt to cover outside.
"What do you think of this? I'll wear this to see the dragon boat tomorrow, right? Xuan Hui turned around in front of Pei Minzhong and asked with a smile.
Pei Minzhong looked up and down, got up and walked to Xuanhui's dressing table, and found a hibiscus jade magnolia hairpin to replace the red gold nine phoenix hairpin she was wearing on her head.
After looking left and right, he smiled and said, "That's fine." Tomorrow by the lake outside, the red gold will be dazzling under the sun. If you wear this hibiscus jade, it will make my aunt warm and noble. ”
Xuanhui looked at it in the mirror and said with a smile: "It's really good-looking, I underestimate you on weekdays!" ”
Pei Minzhong looked at her dotingly and smiled: "Little girl, brother, I have a lot of things!" ”
The second day was the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and the weather was fine and the spring flowers were blooming.
The middle door of the Chengguo Mansion is wide open, and four sedan chairs come out from the inside. The first two seats are a large sedan chair carried by eight people, with a green tweed vault, and the top of the sedan chair is decorated with a net made of beads, and Mrs. Jiang and Xuanhui sit respectively.
The back seat is a flat-topped green sedan chair carried by four people, and Mrs. Han is sitting in it. Followed by a small sedan chair carried by two people sat Pei Xuanye.
In front of the sedan car and behind the sedan are the honor guards of the Guogong Mansion with dozens of people in the left and right rows, Pei Minzhong and Pei Mu are riding tall horses to lead the way.
When he arrived at Xuanwu Lake and got off the sedan chair, Xuanhui found that both sides of the lake had already been filled with tents of various colors, and the two apricot-yellow tents in the middle of the lake should be used by the people of the palace.
"Which one is our family?" Xuanhui asked as she walked with Pei Minzhong.
Before Pei Minzhong could speak, Pei Mu answered with a smile: "Brother Jiu has hardly spent the Dragon Boat Festival in Jinling, and the princess's sister-in-law asked him if he might as well ask me." Our house is the royal blue one, in previous years, the whole family looked at it together, but this year I have to go to the prince's side with a few brothers and uncles. ”
Xuanhui didn't say anything, only smiled and nodded.
As soon as he entered the tent, Xuanhui heard the laughter of Grandma Fengsi: "...... The number of dragon boats this year is nearly double that of previous years, and everyone is thinking about the one hundred taels of silver from the prince. ”
Grandma Zewu said: "Not only did the prince give out one hundred taels, but our family also gave eighty taels. Just now I passed by the palace, and I heard that the princess also wants to pay a hundred taels to make a lottery! ”
When they saw the two ladies and Xuanhui coming in, they hurriedly stopped talking and stepped forward to salute. After a busy time, everyone sat down, and Mrs. Han smiled and said: "Today, Mrs. Tai feels a little lazy and refuses to take a few of us out to have fun, why didn't your old lady come to see the excitement?" ”
The third lady smiled: "Originally, I was going to come, but I even picked out the clothes and jewelry to go out yesterday." Who knew that the second child of Zege'er's family ate cherries well in the evening, so that her old man saw it and ate a small half plate. I didn't feel anything at night, but I didn't feel comfortable when I got up this morning, and in the end I made a lot of noise so that my old lady didn't come. ”
Mrs. Jiang sighed: "When people are old, they should pay more attention to their diet, and they must not be sloppy in the slightest." ”
Xuanhui guarded the reserve of her new daughter-in-law, and was so happy that she didn't promise to these people, so she just ate the grapes on the coffee table to eat.
Here, the third wife and the two daughters-in-law talked to Mrs. Han and the others lively, and it seemed that the five wives, mothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law sitting on the side were very quiet.
Lanliu's grandmother is demure and gentle, similar to her sister-in-law Pei Shuangxi's temperament, but she loses three points in appearance.
Pei Xuanye and Pei Shuangxi sat together and bowed their heads and whispered, Xuanhui happened to hear the words "brother" and "sir", so he smiled and said: "Xuanye, what are you not appointing your brother again?" ”
Before Pei Xuanye could answer, Mrs. Han smiled and said, "Ouch, Jiulang's daughter-in-law is really worth marrying, not only is she handsome and noble, but she is also tightly protected!" I can't even say a few words from my sister-in-law! ”
Xuanhui pinched a grape and was about to put it in his mouth, but when he heard this, he put his hand down and said with a faint smile: "I just saw that you were talking to the third aunt lively, and I couldn't interject in the conversation, so I just wanted to talk to the two younger sisters to relieve my boredom." Besides, the brother that the sisters are talking about may not be the son of the world, maybe it is the sixth brother? ”
Pei Shuangxi smiled unhurriedly: "Sister-in-law Princess guessed right, it was my brother who said." ”
The corners of the third wife's mouth showed a hint of ridicule almost invisibly, and she immediately hid it and said with a smile: "What's wrong with your brother?" But Mr. is going to quit again? ”
Hearing her say this, the fifth wife and the sixth grandmother couldn't hold back a little on their faces, but Pei Shuangxi said without humility or arrogance: "The third aunt's words sound like she has ulterior motives, don't you also know the reason for the gentleman's resignation last time?" It's just because there are other companies that offer higher prices. For people like this kind of profit-seeking, it's not a pity not to come to our house to sit in the museum. ”
The third wife snorted coldly, and said to the fifth wife: "I said that when your money bag should be loosened, don't cover it so tightly, isn't it just two hundred and twenty-one years of shackles?" It's not that you can't afford to grit your teeth. ”
Xuanhui secretly said that the style of Jiangnan Shilin was prosperous, but he didn't expect that the money of a teaching gentleman sitting in the museum for a year was worth the money of a third-grade master!
