Chapter 534: Awkward (2)
At this time, Mrs. Yong'an Hou was idle.
There are many trivial matters in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and everything in the inner house has to be taken care of by her. Every day at this hour, she would sit in the inner hall, and all the stewards of the house would come to pay their respects, and those who needed to spend the money had to be made clear one by one, and she dealt the right cards, and the stewards went to the account room to get the money.
The house is purchased every day, the moon silver of more than 100 maids, the clothing and consumption of concubines and concubines, and there are people who move around, and the clansmen come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, or have a request for the Hou Mansion...... Everything has to worry about her, the housewife.
It is the monthly silver consumption of hundreds of pro-soldiers in the house, and she also has to worry about it.
But today, she sat in the spacious and tidy inner hall, and there was nothing to do.
In such a big house, there is only one master, Pei Zhang. Moreover, Pei Zhang enters the palace every day on an errand, and when he returns home, he just bathes and rests. The subordinates in the house are also well-trained old men, and there is nothing to blame for being picky.
Pei Zhang left before dawn.
After Mrs. Yong'an Hou got up, she had breakfast, went into the inner hall to summon the two old servants to ask a few questions, and sat idly for more than an hour. It's so quiet that it's frustrating.
Bai Wei saw that Mrs. Yong'an Hou was not in high spirits, and said softly: "If Madame is idle, it is better to go around the garden and relieve boredom." ”
It's good.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou nodded slightly, got up and walked out of the inner hall. Without her opening her mouth to command, a few maids behind her stepped forward to follow.
This mansion, of course, is far inferior to the Yong'an Hou Mansion. Sanjin's house, in the eyes of Mrs. Yong'an Hou, is just worthy of living. Because it had not been inhabited for many years, the garden had not been carefully maintained.
Pei Zhang had no time or heart to care about the garden, and he didn't care about it after he moved in. Mrs. Yong'an Hou turned around and furrowed her brows.
At this moment, a maid came quickly and reported in a low voice: "Mrs. Qiyu, the second son is here." ”
The second son in the maid's mouth is naturally Pei Yu.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou's face sank suddenly: "What is he doing?" ”
Even if she is invited back to her home, it should be Yong'an Hou who comes in person.
Bai Wei persuaded softly: "Don't worry, madam. Since the second son is here, the lady might as well meet him first and listen to what he will say. ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou snorted from her nose.
In the end, I still saw Pei Yu.
Pei Yu was very respectful to his mother-in-law, and bowed with his hands and fists: "My son has seen my mother." ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou glanced at Pei Yu and said lukewarmly: "You are not serving your father in the mansion, what are you doing here." ”
Pei Yu had long been accustomed to the way his mother-in-law spoke with a gun and a stick, and said respectfully: "Father went to court today." The son was ordered by his father to invite his mother back to his home. ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou sneered: "Your father wishes that I would never go back, how could he let you come." It's up to you! ”
"Mother misunderstood." Pei Yu said with a smile: "If the father doesn't open his mouth, how dare the son make a claim." ”
That's just as well.
Mrs. Yong'anhou's heart moved, and her expression softened slightly.
Pei Yu said again: "Mother misses her eldest brother, and it doesn't hurt to go out of the house and live with her eldest brother for a while." However, tomorrow is the day when the fifth sister is newly married and returns to the house, if her mother is not in the house, the fifth sister's face will always be bad. When it is passed to the Weiguo Mansion, maybe it will give birth to the heart of treating the fifth sister slowly. Mother has always loved the fifth sister the most, how can she bear it? ”
"I came today at my father's behest to invite my mother home."
These words hit the heart of Mrs. Yong'an Hou.
No matter how angry she is, she is reluctant to be angry with her daughter.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou thought for a moment and said, "You go back and tell your father, I will go back early tomorrow morning." ”
Pei Yuda came to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, and responded with a smile: "Okay, early tomorrow morning, my son will come to pick up his mother and return home." Then he respectfully withdrew.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou looked at Pei Yu's figure, and a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes.
Whether she admits it or not, this concubine is indeed docile and acts properly. Ah Chang was originally an obedient and filial son, but after Cheng Jinrong left the Pei family, Ah Chang also changed day by day.
……
Early the next morning, Pei Yu came to pick up Mrs. Yong'an Hou and returned home.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou didn't pretend anymore, packed up and dressed neatly, and took the carriage back to Yong'an Hou's mansion. The daughter and the newlywed aunt returned to the door together, and the Marquis of Yong'an was naturally also in the house, and the elders in the clan who did not come out of the five suits also came.
In front of everyone, the husband and wife did not quarrel, they had a tacit understanding with their faces, glanced at each other, and snorted coldly in their hearts at the same time. After sitting down, the husband and wife did not speak.
Everyone saw it in their eyes, but they didn't see it, and they said greetings and polite words, but it was also lively.
At the beginning of the year, Pei Xiu and her newlywed husband Jiang Yao came back together.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou finally had a smile in her eyes, and she couldn't wait to look at Pei Xiu. After looking at this, Mrs. Yong'an Hou suddenly felt a sigh in her heart.
It's only been three days since the newlywed, and it's time for the young couple to be affectionate and slimy. It should be full of joy and shame to answer the eyebrows ~ come to the eye ~ go. But Pei Xiu had no joy on his face, and he barely made eye contact with Jiang Yao.
A series of conjectures passed through Mrs. Yong'anhou's heart, and the more she thought about it, the more bad she felt. finally survived until the end of the ceremony, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou immediately pulled her daughter back to the room and said "private words".
"What's going on with you and your uncle? For half a day, the two of you barely spoke. Or are your in-laws embarrassed you? ”
Pei Xiu was silent.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu. Mrs. Yong'an Hou's heart suddenly cooled half, and she pinched Pei Xiu's arm hard: "What happened?" Hurry up! ”
Pei Xiu bit her lip hard, and her eyes quietly reddened: "Mother, don't ask." Anyway, I have already married into the Jiang family, and my father has returned to the court safely. Whether I live well in the Jiang family in the future has nothing to do with the Pei family. ”
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was distressed and anxious: "You stupid girl, what stupid things are you talking about." You just got married, and you had an awkward relationship with your uncle? What is it for? ”
The grievances that Pei Xiu had accumulated in her heart suddenly turned into teardrops, and strands slipped outward: "Where is it that I have an awkward relationship with him, it is he who ignores me." ”
"As soon as I married into the Jiang family, my mother-in-law looked at me everywhere. Yesterday's tea ceremony made me kneel for a long time, and I just held the tea bowl like this, and my arm was sore and sore. Jiang Yao just watched like this, and he didn't mean to defend me at all. ”
"And yesterday at noon and evening, when everyone sat down to eat together, my daughter-in-law had to stand behind her mother-in-law and serve the dishes and chopsticks. By the time the big guys are done, the food will be cold. Isn't that a deliberate attempt to torment me? ”
"I was so angry that I didn't eat a bite."
"Jiang Yao didn't feel sorry for me at all, and even said that I was too ignorant to do this, and it was because I wanted to make my mother-in-law look bad. Before I came this morning, I had a fight with him. ”
