Wei Shi pulled Pei Yao apart, stuffed Pei Jinyao with a hand stove, and said angrily: "He is almost taller than you, you still spoil him and indulge him, and turn around to let your father know that he is going to be unhappy again." Twisting his face and saying to Pei Yao: "That poetry collection is your third sister's dowry, and you are not allowed to touch your hands." If you want to see it, ask your third sister to turn it gently, and you will have it after you have passed it. ”

Pei Yao should be happy.

Wei and others surrounded Pei Jinyao to Rongtai Courtyard.

Mrs. Pei couldn't help but overjoyed and called Pei Jinyao to her side to sit down, and Zhang Luo brought her good food and drink.

"You all follow Erlang, and you are born to be reading material." Old Madam Pei smiled and picked up the handkerchief to wipe the pastry crumbs off Pei Jinyao's lips, and said softly: "The third girl showed her big face silently, which is really surprising and delightful. ”

Pei Yao pursed her lips disdainfully, "If it weren't for the eldest sister not letting the third sister go to the poetry competition, the third sister would have shown her face a long time ago." ”

Yin's mother and daughter are not there, and Pei Yan doesn't have so many scruples when she speaks. opened his mouth to complain that Pei Jinzhu refused to take Pei Jinyao to the poetry competition.

Webster lowered his face coldly and reprimanded: "Don't tell right and wrong!" ”

Mrs. Pei loved her grandson, so she hurriedly gave Pei Yao a round, "He feels sorry for his sister, and it's okay to complain." Children love to talk and play, and in a few years, they will not say anything funny if you want him to say something funny. ”

Pei Yao blinked, and said seriously: "Grandmother, if you want to hear it, I will say it every day." ”

Old Madam Pei stroked her palms and smiled: "Look at my little good grandson, his mouth is as sweet as honey." In the future, he will be able to coax his daughter-in-law. ”

Webster's smiling face flushed.

Pei Yan's face was also red, and she was ashamed.

Pei Jinyao's face was even redder, half of it was ashamed and half of it was weak. The poem she is writing today was written by a literati more than a hundred years later. She's just using it for a while. Qian Wei is a talented woman who is like a fake. Pei Jinyao used this poem in exchange for Qian Wei's appreciation of her, as well as the attention and comfort of her family. Pei Jinyao felt that she was ashamed.

There was a lot of laughter in the room. Pei Tingwu stopped under the window and listened for a moment, then walked in with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

He is burly, his face is handsome, and his gestures are full of bookishness. If there is a shortcoming, it is the right foot that limps when walking.

Wei quickly got up to help him remove his cloak, and poured tea and water himself, taking care of him meticulously. From these little things, it is not difficult to see that Webster is good to Pei Tingwu. Mrs. Pei was not used to seeing it, and took a small sip of the teacup.

After Wei's gave Pei Tingwu a proper order, Mrs. Pei said slowly: "It's the New Year, and I'll spend more time with my daughter-in-law at home." ”

Webster hung his head in shame and remained silent.

In front of the child, Pei Tingwu was a little embarrassed, "Mother, it is the time of the New Year, and I will be empty in a few days." ”

Mrs. Pei didn't chatter, hugged Pei Jinyao, and said, "Quickly read the poem you wrote at the poetry competition to your father." ”

Pei Jinyao should be, cheekily and whispered: "The red peony medicine is dancing with butterflies, and the warbler is crying in the green sycamore." Leaving the pavilion does not fold according to the willows, and there is a spring mountain to send and welcome. ”

"Good! Good poetry! Pei Tingwu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised loudly.

Pei Yu Pei Yao echoed and praised Pei Jinyao to the sky.

Talking and laughing, the sky is dark, and Mrs. Pei stays in the second room to eat together. A large round table, Mrs. Pei in the center, her son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren surrounded her, lively and lively. During the banquet, Pei Tingwu ate too much wine, and refused to sleep when he went back, so he had to get drunk with Wei. Wei coaxed and begged, and finally served the second master properly, and then turned off the lights and stopped.

There was laughter and laughter in the second room, and it became more and more deserted at the end of the big room.

Yin Shi leaned on the pillow with his hair scattered, and complained to Pei Tingwen: "Master, tell me what kind of rare thing this is. The poem written by the three girls actually entered the eyes of the county lord. Our Ah Zhu said a few words to the county lord, or in the name of the sixth young master of the eldest brother's family. On the side of King Kang's son, you have to work harder......"

Pei Tingwen sat under the lamp and read the newspaper of the palace, absentmindedly sighed, and replied casually: "The prince of King Kang is a relative of the emperor, and we can't afford to climb high." ”

Yin immediately didn't like to listen to it, "How can it be called Gao Pan?" Ah Zhu's uncle is the overseer of Dongchang. How many people can't get a stammer? ”

The voice was scathing, which made Pei Tingwen upset, put down the newspaper, and corrected: "It's my cousin." What those people really want to tie up is the Lord of Mingdu, not Ah Zhu, not the Pei family, and not me, a fourth-grade official. I advise you to be more down-to-earth, don't go to Xiao to think about the prince of the world, just choose a family with a clean and honest family. ”

"Where is Xiao Xiang?" Yin Shi rolled his eyes disapprenously, "Ming'er, I'll go to the eldest brother and ask him to help pull a line and ask the county lord of Sui'an." ”

Pei Tingwen's face sank, "What do you ask?" Didn't the three thousand five hundred taels of silver last time discipline you smoothly? Do you want to make me lose my black hat before you give up? ”

Seeing that he was angry, Yin Shi hurriedly said softly, "Master, isn't this all for Ah Zhu's family affairs." Which mother doesn't want her daughter to marry well, and marry beautifully? Besides, Ah Zhu wants to look good, and he has to learn and learn, isn't he a good match for the prince of Kang? ”

"The daughter you gave birth to, you don't know how many pounds and taels she has? The most important thing to be a man is to be self-aware. You want her to marry the prince and marry the marquis, but she is not that material. Come on, don't talk about it. After the New Year, I will personally pick it for her! Pei Tingwen put down a cruel word, flicked his sleeves and went to the study.

Yin Shi was on fire in his heart and didn't dare to quarrel with Pei Tingwen, so he took out the pillow and threw it towards the door.

……

Ding Xiaoman's tofu brain is not only famous in Ci'en Street, but also has No. 1 in the capital.

As soon as it was dawn, the shop was full of people. Minced mustard, chili oil and leek flower sauce are used by themselves. Add a copper coin to exchange for a Taizhou salted duck egg and a small plate of pickled melon strips or two tea eggs. There is a big iron pot at the door, the clear oil in the pot gurgles, the awakened noodles are rolled into long strips and put into the boiling oil, poofed up, the long bamboo chopsticks are turned over twice, and they are fished out and supported on the iron net on the edge of the pot and stand in rows.

With six wooden Buddha beads in his hand, Yu Suo walked slowly from the street to the tofu brain shop. Along the way, he was greeted by peddlers, pawns, and errand servants who hurried to the yamen to respond to Mao.

Sugar Man Zhang carried a pick on his shoulder, and raised his hand at him with a smile, "Morning, Mr. Qian." ”

"Early, early." The fool looked at him a little puzzled, "Have you set up a stall here?" ”

"Yes. The land is prosperous. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "I have earned this amount in the past two days." Stretched out his hand and compared a "four", "It's almost the New Year, maybe you can make a small profit." ”

The fool's smile froze.
