Lin Youhui pulled Xu to sit down and drink tea, "Taste it, it's terrifying." ”

In the white porcelain tea cup of the Ding kiln, the tea leaves that were originally curled like a snail are slowly stretched, flying up and down, the tea is clear and green, the fragrance hits people, and it is fresh and refreshing. Xu Shi took a sip slowly, smiled and praised, "The fragrance is fresh and elegant, fragrant and mellow, it really tastes good." ”

After drinking a cup of tea slowly, and talking calmly to Lin Youhui, Xu slowly returned to the room.

Not long after returning to the room, Mama He came in with a letter, "Mrs. Chen ordered someone to send it, and the person who came is waiting for tea in the wing." ”

Mama He's face was both worried and helpless. She has always been dissatisfied with Mrs. Linjiang's style, but she is the sister of the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she can't refuse to be paid. Mrs. Chen sent a letter from such a big distance in the capital, and she didn't know what to say, alas, it is estimated that there is nothing good in the letter.

Xu smiled slightly, took the letter from Mama He's hand, cut it with a paper cutter, took out the letter, and looked at it casually.

Xu, like Mama He, knew that Mrs. Daotai's letter would not have anything good, and Xu didn't plan to take her seriously. However, it's still a glance, after all, it's my own aunt.

After reading the letter, Xu laughed.

Mrs. Marquis of Linjiang wrote a letter to scold her, scolding her for being jealous and fierce by nature, not keeping her promises, not keeping her marriage contract, and harming her only son. "If Yong'er has any three longs and two shorts, it's all your fault! How have I treated you since I was a child, you are really worthy of me! Between the lines, Mrs. Tai's anger and injustice can be felt everywhere.

Mrs. Tai's only son, Linjiang Marquis Chen Yong, after bidding farewell to his sweetheart and eldest son and returning to Beijing, let □ Duan discuss with Mrs. Hou Qiu again and again, asking her to promise not to pursue Chen Lingyun, and take the Ye family back, and the family will live in harmony. The Qiu family has both the support of his mother's family and his son-in-law, how can he compromise easily? Regardless of whether Linjiang Hou Yang pleaded or was angry, in short, she refused to nod.

Linjiang Hou couldn't discuss it with his wife at home, so he had to go out and run around, wanting to ask for a favor and a support for his eldest son. But Qiu Guifei is very proud in the palace, the Qiu family is in the limelight, he has a lot of favors, but he has not fulfilled his wish.

Mrs. Tai persuaded him, "Ling'er must be picked up, the child is still young and ignorant, just teach slowly." Forget it, she was ...... Forget it. It's not difficult for you to want beauties, and your mother will pay a lot of money to buy a few peerless beauties for you to come back and have fun with you. ”

Linjiang Hou smiled bitterly, "No matter how gorgeous you are, it's not my son's mother, it's different." "He and Ye have known each other for a long time, although they have wives and concubines, they are always unusual to Ye. During the time he left Ye's, he slept restlessly and lost a lot of weight.

Mrs. Tai couldn't persuade her son, and she couldn't control her daughter-in-law, so she was in a hurry.

Linjiang Hou's calculations were useless, and then he gradually became decadent, seriously ill in bed, and could not be cured for a long time. The Linjiang Hou Mansion invited countless famous doctors to come to the government for diagnosis and treatment, but it was ineffective. When he fell ill, Mrs. Marquis Linjiang was really at a loss for what to do, and she was miserable.

This is her only son, the hope of a lifetime.

Mrs. Tai watched her son lose weight day by day, and her heart ached to the extreme. "It's all to blame on the girl of the Xu family, if she didn't regret her marriage back then, how could my family marry the Qiu family and enter the door, and how could Yong'er come to this field?" Wrote to Xu and cursed her.

Xu smiled and handed the letter to Mama He, "Take it and burn it." "This kind of letter doesn't have to be kept at all, burned and pulled down.

Mama He was very relieved when she saw her young lady's light and breezy appearance. Mrs. Tai doesn't care what she says, as long as the young lady is not angry and doesn't take it seriously, it's fine.

Mama He immediately took out the fire fold and burned the letter. Watching the white letter gradually turn to ash, Mama He felt a burst of happiness in her heart.

"Come and reward the first-class Feng'er, let him return to Beijing on the same day, the Marquis of Linjiang is sick, and the family is going to use people, so we won't keep him." Tell him, I asked my aunt how to say, said hello to my aunt, and asked my aunt to take care of her old man's health. Xu commanded with a smile.

Mama He pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes." "Promised, go out and send someone.

When the spring was cold, Pei Erye took his wife and children, bid farewell to his parents, and embarked on a journey to Beijing. Mrs. Fang was full of reluctance, with tears in her eyes, Pei Taishou was much calmer, and explained as usual, "Be careful on the road." When you arrive, send a letter back so that your mother can rest assured. Pei Erye and Lin Youhui only agreed.

Seeing that Mrs. Fang was very sad, Second Master Pei comforted her in a low voice, "Mother, my son can't ask for fame, but there is no way to do it." When we arrived in the capital safely, we wrote to you every day. ”

Mrs. Fang said with tears in her eyes: "It's nothing if you leave, my mother is just reluctant to let go of her grandchildren, and there are still children." "The good grandson is leaving, and the little granddaughter is leaving, it's really terrible.

Pei Qi and Pei Jin's eyes were red, and they were also very reluctant to grandfather, grandmother, uncles, aunts and cousins. The moment of parting, gloomy*.

Raising his little pink face, he said with a very comforting courtesy: "In the future, my grandfather will be promoted and will also enter the capital!" ”

Don't be sad, the separation is short-lived, and we'll meet again soon.

It was purely a nice thing to say, to appease the grandmother who was sad for parting, but Pei Sanye on the side was a squatting □, and asked excitedly: "When will my grandfather be promoted to the capital?" ”

Pei Sanye is originally a free and easy character, Pei Taishou is a foreign official or a Beijing official, he doesn't care. But now that he and his wife Xu are getting closer, he naturally knows that his wife has been away from home for a long time and misses his relatives.

Pei Sanye looked at it with a blank eye, waiting to give him a definite answer-

I'm not a god! I'm an empathetic child, I'm comforting my grandmother very sensibly, do I know the truth? looked at the third father angrily and gave him a big look.

"I don't know what to do." Pei Sanye was a little angry.

"It's not a fairy." Xu pursed his lips and smiled, gently pulled Pei Sanye, and motioned for him to get up.

Pei Sanye is an optimist, he was only depressed for a moment, and then his spirit soared, "Dad, mother, it's okay for the second brother to leave, and me!" I'm much smarter and likable than him, and I'm happy under my knees, and I'm always smiling every day! ”

"Who wants you, your father and I want a little grandson, a little granddaughter, do you understand?" Mrs. Fang was amused by him and joked happily.

"Little grandson, little granddaughter, what's so hard about this? Give you another one! Pei Sanye patted his chest.

At this moment, not only Mrs. Fang, but even Pei Taishou had a smile on his face.

Pei Erye took his wife and children to visit his parents again, and said goodbye in tears.

Pei Sanye and Xu took their three sons, and they kept sending their second brother, sister-in-law and children on the boat.

Pei Erye, Pei Sanye and his entourage went out of the house, walked on the smooth white stone road in the middle of the yard, and slowly, out of the yard, they couldn't see it.

The figure of the son, the figure of the grandson, and the figure of the little one gradually drifted away from sight. Mrs. Fang wanted to cry sadly, but Pei Taishou raised her beard and sighed, "Now, Lao Lin should be proud!" ”

Zhonglang and Zhonglang's daughter-in-law are going to live in his house, and he can't be beautiful.

Two parents' family, friends for many years, so jealous! Mrs. Fang even forgot about her sadness, and laughed out loud with a sigh -

was held by his father Pei Erye and got on the boat at the gate. Changmen, the reputation is big, Lu Ji said, "Wu Yue has its own history, please start from Changmen"; Cao Gong Xueqin said that Changmen is "the most rich and noble place in the red dust", where boats and vehicles from the north and south gather, and foreign traders come and go endlessly, lively and prosperous.

The brothers were lying by the window, watching the scenery on the canal, but they were not playful at all, and asked Pei Erye with a serious face, "Daddy, is there a small boat hanging on this big boat?" ”

The spare tire may not be needed for 30 or 20 years, but it must be on the car in case of emergency. The same is true for large passenger ships, which should have small boats on standby in case of emergency.

"Yes." Pei Erye smiled and carried her to the stern of the boat and let her look at the boat behind. Greatly satisfied, "Very good! He praised him so much that he broke free from his father's arms and went to play with his brothers.

"Love to worry about the little." Second Master Pei couldn't help laughing.

Pei Sanye stopped sitting on the chair, his eyes red and jealous, "Second brother, the people next to me don't envy you, they envy you for being small." Second Master Pei laughed at him, "Didn't you just say something arrogant, you want to have another one?" Pei Sanye shook his head and sighed, "I think so, I'm afraid I won't have this blessing." Second brother, how many years has our family been small. ”

Lin Youhui and Xu sat in the cabin, talking slowly, "It's good to go out, but it's also hard along the way." "Yes, if the wind is smooth, it will take more than half a month to get to Tongzhou."

When you arrive in Tongzhou, there is no waterway to go, and you have to go ashore to change cars. If you do the math, it's not easy along the way.

While they were talking, Chen Lingyun arrived. Chen Lingyun took seven or eight servants, two little girls, and a fair woman with a veil and a tightly covered head and face. Xu and Lin Youhui knew who she was, so they could only pretend not to see it and not know it.

Chen Lingyun entered the cabin to greet Xu and Lin Youhui, this is Xu's relative, Lin Youhui naturally treated him politely, and the courtesy was very thoughtful. Xu is the daughter of Jiangmen, open-minded, although she only received a letter from her aunt cursing a few days ago, she was not angry at Chen Lingyun at this time, and she was as gentle as usual.

Chen Lingyun greeted him and went back to his cabin.

Soon, the Lin family also arrived. Wu personally sent his youngest son onto the boat and kept wiping his tears. There was a middle-aged man in silk clothes beside Wu, a middle-aged woman wearing gold and silver, with an arrogant expression, who seemed to be a slave sent from the capital, and did not take Wu in his eyes.

Lin Mingtang, who was only six or seven years old, they ignored it even more. The heir, everything is in the hands of the heir, he is not in charge of the house at all, he is just a angry bag, it is not worth their trouble.

Wu repeatedly asked Lin Youhui, but was urged by Haonu to turn around and leave step by step.

Wu left, leaving Lin Mingtang, who had clear eyebrows and a stubborn expression, and his figure was lonely and desolate.

"The child was forced to leave his mother, which is really a tragedy in the world." Lin Youhui and Xu were very sympathetic to him.

It's time to sail, but Zhao Zhen and the eldest sister can't wait for a long time. Xu frowned, "Drive the boat, don't worry about her." "What is the reason for making an appointment but missing the time? So many people are waiting for you, are you sorry?

Lin Youhui smiled, "Don't rush at this moment, wait." ”

When the Xu family began to be a little anxious, Zhao Zhen finally came - not only with her daughter's eldest sister and maid-in-law, but also with her mother-in-law and mother-in-law's niece. "They are also going back to the capital......" Zhao Zhen said weakly and timidly.

Zhao Zhen still looks cowardly, and the eldest sister is even more afraid of seeing people, but it is Mei's mother and her niece, who look very imposing. Mei's mother is not very old, about forty years old, and her hair is all jet black. She was wearing a dark purple Hangzhou silk gown, a long dark skirt, and her hair was combed into a bun, not messy at all. Rarely, her hair is neat and unadorned.

Her face was also serious, and she didn't seem to be able to smile much.

When Xu saw such an "elder", his heart was really tired. It is said that the cousin's stepmother Fang was allowed to marry her daughter because Mei's mother was "very kind". Fang, you are blind, no matter how much this person in front of you is disguised, he can't be called peaceful!

Mother Mei stood beside her daughter-in-law Zhao Zhen, two maids, a nurse holding her eldest sister, and a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old. Looking at this girl's dress, she is very pure and cute in a light blue dress, she will never be a first-class maid, she should be the cousin of the Mei family.

Zhao Zhen was introduced to everyone, and the Xu family was disdainful in their hearts, and they didn't even care about the girl's surname, and of course they were even more impatient to entertain them.

The status is not high, and the conduct is not high, and the Xu family can't think of a reason to entertain them.

Xu called Zhao Zhen aside and instructed her with a straight face, "Your mother-in-law, and that cousin, take care of yourself, don't bother my second sister-in-law." "I haven't lost enough people yet, but I will bring your mother-in-law who can't be on the stage, and the so-called cousin of unknown origin! Endless with you.

"I ...... I can't control them......" Zhao Zhen said weakly, wanting to shed tears.

Xu's head was big, and he couldn't stand this woman, so he turned around and walked away.

Pei Sanye, Xu and his brother and sister-in-law said goodbye, beckoned to the children, "Heng'er Jing'er Lin'er, let's go home." Pei Heng and Pei Jing obediently agreed, Pei Lin played a trick, "If you don't go home, I want to go with the second uncle!" "Squatting on the ground and refusing to get up.

Pei Sanye coaxed him a few words, but it had no effect. Seeing that his youngest son was decided, Pei Sanye smiled, reached out to pick up Pei Lin, and carried it on his shoulder, "Lin'er, I can't help you!" ”

Pei Sanye carried the little Pei Lin who was screaming, and the Xu family took Pei Heng and Pei Jing and got off the boat with a smile.

The boat slowly began to move, leaning against the window with his brothers, and kept waving to the shore. Little Pei Lin wiped her tears on Pei Sanye's shoulder, Pei Heng and Pei Jing stood on tiptoe to look at this side, reluctantly.

The three fathers, three aunts, and brothers, the figures became smaller and smaller, and gradually, they were invisible.

sighed sadly, "Affectionate parting since ancient times." ”

Pei Erye stood behind them, listening to his little daughter's emotion, he didn't know what to say.

The boat was driving on the canal, and Pei Erye pointed out to them the scenery along the way, "That's Xu Gate, where Wu Zixu's head hung back then." That is the Gusu post station, pavilion, platform, building, pavilion, built very exquisitely. ”

"Daddy, what are those big words?" asked with relish.

There is a stone pillar in front of the gate of Gusu Post Station, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the stone pillar are written with couplets, but you can't see what is written.

Second Master Pei couldn't see it either. However, of course, he knows what is written on the couplet of Lu Dao, "When guests arrive to cook tea, the right to be the host, and the hanging lantern is far away from the Xujiang River." Pei Erye said with a smile.

He took care of official affairs for his father Pei Taishou, and received more than one foreign envoy, so he was naturally familiar with Gusu Station.

Watching the scenery along the way, Pei Erye was responsible for answering questions behind her, and the journey was pleasant.

The author has something to say: it's late, sorry.
