Afu obediently got up, Sakura combed her hair, Wanwan wiped her face, and Yuan Niang brought her new clothes to see Aunt Weng.

After Shuyu finished practicing morning exercises, he went into the house to scrub. Seeing this posture, he was startled, only to see Afu being surrounded by a group of people in a daze, trying to open his eyes, but he couldn't wake up, so cute, he felt itchy in his heart.

Afu put on her makeup, but she was barely sober. As soon as he raised his eyes, he actually crashed into Shu Yu's deep eyes, and both of them turned red and turned their heads.

Shuyu said, "Let's go?" ”

Afu nodded. Sakura helped her over. Yuan Niang's face was full of worry, for fear that the girl would forget her advice and be bullied.

July is hot. Yuan Niang instructed Sakura to walk slowly, for fear that Afu would sweat when she arrived in Dehetang. Shu Yu saw that her master and servant were small, and slowly followed her.

Afu saw the flower and herb house in Pei Mansion for the first time, and couldn't help but look at this, look at that. Sakura Sakura is also young, and it's the time to play, so she can't see it, and she doesn't remember to remind Afu.

Shu Yu looked at Afu's little face for a while, he was busy, he didn't see the steps under his feet several times, and he was amused. simply took her hand: "Don't be in a hurry to see it, there is a time." ”

Ah Fu's face flushed, and her little hand twitched, but she didn't take it out. Let his big hand wrap her, and lead her to walk slowly on the sun-soaked bluestone road. Sakura snickered behind her with her head down.

Pei Man, the eldest girl Pei Lao married, is very close to her mother's family, and she also returned to the door today, so she should join in the fun. When Afu arrived at Dehe Hall, she was describing to a large family what she had seen and heard when she went to see the bride.

"Our bride is the most favored at home, so many young masters and girls who read poetry and books in the old man's mansion, the wall of the inner hall is full of our Afu's handwriting, and the small characters are written, tsk, tsk, the words are like their people!"

It was Ji Heng's voice: "If it is a compliment to say that the second sister-in-law is like her person, it is not a good thing to say that the second brother is like her person!" ”

A delicate female voice sounded: "My second uncle is also majestic and graceful!" ”

Pei Shuyu held Afu's hand, opened the bead curtain with his left hand, and laughed loudly: "It's still Shuer's justice!" If you and your mother don't come, your second uncle won't have anyone to support you! ”

The whole family laughed. Afu saw that it was Shuyu's grandmother in the hall, and on the left hand sat his eldest sister Pei Man, that is, the lady who came to meet; The eldest sister was holding a ten-year-old girl in her arms, thinking that it was her youngest daughter Gu Shuer - Pei Man, the eldest daughter of the Pei family, married Gu Luzhou Gu Yuansi, and had a son and a daughter. On the right-hand side is her brother-in-law, the one who had troubled her on the day of the ceremony.

It is said that this Gu Yuansian is a legendary figure, Afu only heard that he was from the Gu family in Luzhou, his literary style is peerless, and he entered the department at the age of eighteen, and he was directly named Dr. Guozijian and worked with a group of old people who could be his grandfather. At that time, he married Pei Man, who was still the eldest lady of the Pei family. It is rumored that he also has an eldest son, Pei Man and he are very unhappy because of the eldest son, and the husband and wife do not appear together.

Shuyu introduced Afu: "This is my eldest sister, you want to come and see it." This is my niece, Shure. He waved his hand, and Shure ran over and threw himself into his arms, tilting his head to look at Aph. Ah Fu liked it, so she took off the hibiscus jade bracelet on her hand and gave it to her. She looked back at Pei Man very shyly, and saw her mother smiling and nodding, before accepting the salute.

Ave smiled at her. There is not much age difference between the two, one is still a coquettish girl in front of her mother's knees, and the other is married to a wife.

"Oh, that kid is my third brother, the least thing." Shuyu nodded Ji Heng with his chin and joked.

Afu smiled at Ji Heng and nodded. Ji Heng made a gesture and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't remember my revenge yesterday, I'm afraid that I missed this time, and my second brother made trouble with me at the ceremony, and I have no revenge!" “

Afu remembered that this mother said that the Pei family had a marriage contract with the Huan family and the Wang family. Pei Dalang's widow is Wang Xi, the daughter of the Wang family, and Erlang, that is, the husband did not marry the daughter of the Huan family, so he thought it was left to Sanlang. There is only one unmarried person left in the Huan family, named Huan Xian, and I think it is her.

Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Huan are both from the Taiyuan royal family, and the two are sisters. Thinking about it this way, except for Xiang Fu, the other two daughters-in-law are also Mrs. Pei's maiden family.

Mrs. Pei gently slapped her youngest son with a cane as a punishment, and stretched out her hand to greet Afu.

Ave quickly knelt down in front of her. Since it is not someone else's mother's family, I have to curry favor with this old lady Pei, so as not to be set up by her in the future. It's going to be tea, she thought to herself.

Master Pei Shangcheng muttered a bunch of clichés, and after receiving Afu's tea, Mrs. Pei had a chance to speak. She smiled and gave a pair of bracelets to Afu: "Afu, A-Niang is very happy with you, you live a good life with Erlang, A-Niang is waiting to hold her grandson!" ”

Afu's heart softened, and she couldn't help but clench her mother-in-law's hand. It looks like Mrs. Pei is very easy to get along with!

Shuyu smiled: "My mother didn't treat the three of us well to Afu. “

Pei Man smiled: "The three of us have loud voices, dancing with knives and guns all day long, how can we have the mind of Afu Heniang." Afu, get up, don't kneel! “

Mrs. Pei said, "Why didn't Ah Xi come? Don't let her stay in the house, come here and join in the fun. ”

Pei Man took Mrs. Pei's hand: "I persuaded her not to come." It's a happy event, I'm just afraid.."

Shu Yu said in a deep voice: "Our family of military generals, what are we afraid of." Yu Chuan, quickly invite your sister-in-law. He called the maidservant behind the old lady.

Mrs. Pei chatted with Afu for a few words, and it was rumored that the eldest lady was here.

As soon as Afu turned her head, she saw the maid raise the bamboo curtain, and a young lady entered. She held her head high and was quite imposing, but there were two deep furrows between her eyebrows, and with straight cheeks, she didn't look angry and arrogant.

She greeted the two old men and Pei Man, and said with a slight smile: "This is our bride, right?" What a delicate man. ”

Afu first greeted Wang Xi with Shuyu, and then made a special salute: "I have a salute for my sister-in-law." ”

Wang Xi looked at the watery Afu, listening to her still a little immature voice, and felt a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. Marrying into a military family like the Pei family, how can she be such a delicate girl? Can she endure the pain of parting, can she endure the pain of losing her husband?

Has she been pampered since she was a child and has never suffered a little grievance? Can she endure countless winds and blows like she does? Even if the Zhong Ji is gone, the next generation of housekeepers can't take her turn Wang Xi, is the bride in front of her worthy?

Her Wang Xi's husband lost his life for the family, but this woman enjoyed the supreme glory in vain!

Thinking like this, Wang Xi had a little disdain and contempt on his face. Afu felt her hostility, but she didn't know what was going on in her heart.

Mrs. Pei spoke up in time: "Ah Xi, Xiaofu is still young, you should treat her as a sister and help her more." ”

Old Madam Pei smiled, and Wang Xi also responded with a smile on her face, but there was not much kindness in her eyes when she looked at Afu, and she was cold. She couldn't help but lean towards Shuyu's side.
