Chapter 9: The Second Time
"The four aunts are polite, get up!"
"Mrs. Xie." The four of them got up gracefully, all with their heads slightly lowered, and their white necks were all just exposed.
"Okay, let's all sit down, especially Aunt Gu, with her body in her arms, you can't stand for a long time."
The four aunts hurriedly thanked Pei Shi again, especially Aunt Gu, with a faint face, but a few thoughtful squatting and thanks.
The four of them then sat on the empty row of chairs under Xu Xi, and just sat down, Pei Shi didn't speak, but Xu Xiqingyue's voice sounded: "What are you doing here?" ”
Shen Yuzhai is very large, and it is no problem to live with more than a dozen masters, but the owners of this house have only Xu Xi and Pei from beginning to end, and these four aunts live in another courtyard, and Xu Xi's aunts are not only these four, but they can live alone in the courtyard, and they can come straight to the door to ask for peace without being summoned.
The beautiful woman in her thirties, who surprised Xu Youshan, said heartily when she heard the words: "Back to the master, I heard that you and your wife came back with a few masters and young ladies, and I thought that I also had to come and say hello to my wife, so I called a few sisters to come." ”
In recent years, the Pei family has almost only lived in the Early Autumn Pavilion, and the Early Autumn Pavilion is very close to Qinhua Hall, which already belongs to the range of the "idlers" ordered by Old Madam Qi, and this inclose range includes all the places where Old Madam Qi will appear......
As for the scope of "idlers", it is also very wide, so it is better to talk about the idlers first-such as Xu Xi, such as Pei's, such as Xu Xi and Pei's two children......
Therefore, Xu Xi's aunts and Pei's have not met a few times a year in the past few years, and today Pei's rarely returned to Shen Palmetto Zhai, and a few of them must have come to ask for peace.
Pei Shi also smiled and said: "Aunt Xi still has a heart, I have been pitied by my mother in the past few years, and I have been allowed to move into the director of the Autumn Beginning Pavilion, this Shen Yuzhai and the old man can also take care of one side and not the other, and I still have the help of several aunts over the years." ”
Aunt Xi waved her hand and said informally: "Madame is polite when she says something." ”
Pei Shi and Aunt Xi seemed to have a good relationship, and they looked like they were going to talk for a long time, while the remaining three aunts, Aunt Gu still had a faint look on her face, sitting at the end, not speaking, but she was not impatient.
And Aunt Mo and Aunt Xuan in the middle, the corners of their mouths are crooked, and their eyes blink to look at Pei, and then look at Xu Xi; One person sat on the side gently, just listening to Pei Shi and Aunt Xi talking, and did not interject.
"Let's talk slowly, I'll go to the study first."
Xu Xi's long fingers, which were as distinct as a bamboo, suddenly slowly put down the teacup.
Pei, who had been laughing and talking with Aunt Xi, heard this, and hurriedly got up to send Xu Xi off. Even Xu Yourong, who had suddenly quieted down despite his mocking face since the four aunts came, also got up with Xu Youshan.
But Xu Xi didn't leave immediately, he raised his eyes and quietly glanced at Aunt Gu, and when he got up and passed by her, he also said, "Rest more." ”
Xu Youshan stood closest to Xu Yourong, and Xu Xi's words were heard by all the people in the house, but she just saw that there were two small hands under her eyes that were as thin as jade, and they suddenly clenched and let go very quickly.
……………
Xu Xi finally left, under Pei's voice, Xu Youshan and the others sat down again, but the original warm warmth of the room suddenly disappeared, Pei still smiled lightly, but the four aunts suddenly changed their faces, and they all sat there with a faint expression, their heads still slightly lowered, but they all lost the tame just now.
Time passed silently, and Pei Shi was still alone in the first seat, drinking tea leisurely. And just when even Xu Youshan felt a little like sitting on a needle carpet, Aunt Gu got up with her waist on her back, saluted Pei's family, and said coldly: "Madam, the concubine's body is suddenly a little unwell, can you step back first." ”
Pei Shi raised his eyes leisurely to look at Aunt Gu who was standing, and after a long while, when the maids beside Aunt Gu were a little anxious, he chuckled: "Aunt Gu's current body is to be careful and pay attention, where is it uncomfortable, since it is uncomfortable, then how can you wait, go to the side room to rest, I will ask someone to ask the doctor to come and show you." ”
Aunt Gu suddenly raised her head and looked directly at Pei's, her expression didn't change much, but Pei's changed, her lips were still lightly raised, but her eyes were quiet: "What?" Don't want to? ”
Aunt Gu's head lowered again, but there was a strange smile in her voice: "What Mrs. said, how can the slave or maid be unwilling, everything is up to Mrs. to decide." ”
"Well, let's go to the side room and rest!" Pei Shi retracted his gaze and smiled lightly.
"Yes."
Aunt Gu, with the support of her personal maid, left with her skirt like a flower.
From Aunt Gu standing up to leaving the room, in the process of a few words, Xu Youshan looked at the other three aunts with a playful expression, while Xu Yourong next to her didn't even look at Aunt Gu, and kept playing with the filigree willow leaf fine gold in her hand......
Xu Youshan had already gently left the body of the sandalwood chair, and fell back softer and lighter for the second time-
Damn, there is no simple person in this house!

"I want you to inquire, but have you heard?"
Xufu
Zheng Yan Pavilion, noon.
Xu Youshan rubbed her forehead tiredly, her heart was really shouting to the heavens, none of the Xu family was easy to get along with, from big to small, from inside to outside, all of them were as stunning as the peony flowers, but her heart was like the thousand-layer petals, layer by layer of obstacles, which she couldn't figure out or see through.
You said that she was an outsider, and the days in Zhuangzi in other suburbs at the beginning were enough for her to suffer, and now she has just come out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den......
Xu Youshan put her hand down, and simply collapsed on the couch exhausted, half an hour in Shen Zhai today, more tired than letting her walk for a day.
However, after Aunt Gu stepped back, the other three didn't say anything, after all, under Pei's order, they all saluted and retired, Xu Youshan's action was fast this time, and she immediately got up and saluted and retreated, Pei Shi said softly: "Sister Shan, I originally wanted you to be close to your eldest sister today, and there are only two girls in the big house, but today is not a coincidence, there are many things, anyway, the days are still long, you two will have more contacts in the future!" ”
Xu Youshan twisted her black and rough little hands slightly, whispered "yes", and didn't care about Xu Yourong, who was still sitting on the side and pouted, smiled shyly, and left, and went back to Zhengyan Pavilion directly.
Zheng Yan Pavilion, on the second floor, there are still only Xu Youshan and Wu Lin who pinched her legs at her feet.
Wu Lin heard Xu Youshan's question, and hurriedly replied: "You ordered the old slave, the old slave asked the old man of my family to inquire early this morning......
"You let Uncle Wu go? He is a big man, how can he inquire and where to inquire? Before Wu Lin finished speaking, Xu Youshan interrupted tiredly and asked.
