Chapter 8: Overnight Stay

The people of Dongshi are also quite strange, how can the Pei family's return team not return for a long time, and they have not come back until the curfew?

It wasn't until noon the next day that I saw the sedan chair passing by one by one.

The proprietress at the tea stall asked her man: "Why did Pei Fu stay this time?" Isn't it bad? ”

Her man was busy nailing the bench, he raised his head when he heard the sound, squinted at the Pei character on the sedan chair, the sun was dizzy, and it took a long time to see clearly, he lowered his head and spat at the foam, and then said, "Hey, who knows." The ancestors all said that they couldn't stay overnight, but this Xiangjia came from the south, I'm afraid the rules are different from ours? ”

The proprietress also chattered: "This Pei Shangshu is too, how can I marry a wife and not even remember the rules of my ancestors."

Pei Shangshu in the sedan chair was also a little annoyed.

Afu wrapped up in a formal suit again, which could not be crooked, and could not lie down, and sat there straight.

She looked at Pei Shangshu beside her with a hesitant expression, and asked cautiously: "Husband, but the strength of the wine has not passed?" ”

Shu Yu nodded indiscriminately, and she blamed herself: "It's all my second brother's fault, he can drink it himself, and he doesn't want to think about how much the strong wine hurts his body." I let my mother scold him to relieve his anger! ”

Shuyu didn't listen to her chatter in his heart, he was happy for a while yesterday, and he actually stayed at his father-in-law's house, and he didn't let anyone go home to tell him, I don't know if A-Niang is in a hurry.

However, it is really fun to play with Mingyan, I didn't expect this brother-in-law to be a wonderful person, and it would be better to have more contacts in the future.

Entering the sedan door, the sedan driver dropped the sedan chair, he jumped out of the car, turned around and helped Afu down.

The sun was so big, Afu couldn't help but raise her hand to block the sun.

Yuan Niang picked up the umbrella: "It's really sunning, the old slave gives the girl an umbrella, right?" ”

Shu Yu saw that Yuan Niang was not tall enough, and the umbrella bone always scraped Afu's hairpin, and couldn't help but say, "I'll come, you step back first." ”

Ah Fu and Yuan Niang were stunned: Is this appropriate?

Seeing Shuyu's undoubted appearance, Yuan Niang hesitated, but still handed him the umbrella.

Turn right after the second gate, and Zaifutang is in front.

If you turn right at the fork in front of Zaifudo instead of going straight, it will be Afu's new residence, Rongdongyuan.

Afu thought that it was noon, and made a sedan chair for a while, and the two of them would go back to Rongdong Courtyard to clean up first, who knew that Shuyu would go north and go straight to the old lady and old lady's Dehe Hall.

She walked briskly with him, couldn't help tugging at his sleeve, and asked, "Husband, can you allow the concubine to clean up a little, and then come to ask her in-laws for peace?" ”

Shu Yu stopped, saw that her sideburns were slightly sweaty, and her face was not very good, but she was not feeling well, so he said, "It doesn't matter, I'll accompany you back to the South Courtyard first." ”

When Shuyu was young, there were not many cultural people in Pei's mansion, so each courtyard was named according to the direction of north, south, east and west. It wasn't until the sister-in-law entered the door that she and the eldest brother gave names to the dozens of courtyards in the back house one by one.

The two turned back to Rongdong Courtyard, let Sakura and Sakura Wanwan wipe their faces with water, and Afu changed her clothes and put on makeup again, and this toss was tossed into the afternoon.

Seeing that the sun was tilting, I thought that the old lady had just gotten up from a nap, which was also the right time to ask for peace, and the two of them went north together.

entered Dehetang, and didn't want Wang Xi to be there.

Seeing the new couple coming to greet her, she avoided the North House.

Mrs. Pei had just gotten up, and said to Shu Yu: "Your sister-in-law is really a heartless person, I have repeatedly explained to her, we don't shy away from this, she is afraid that she will be a widow and collide with your joy." Alas! ”

Shu Yu said: "Sister-in-law is for my good, but this makes me feel unbearable." ”

He turned sideways and let Ah Fu come to the front, and without waiting for him to command, Ah Fu obediently went over and helped Mrs. Pei up from the Hu bed, and said: "It's really hot in July this year, but my mother-in-law still don't sleep on this Hu bed, it's still too cold." ”

Old Madam Pei smiled kindly: "You are a careful child. My mother-in-law will no longer sleep in a hu bed in the future. ”

Every time Afu talks to Mrs. Pei, her heart is always warm. She liked this old man from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Pei was supported by her and slowly walked to the north house, and Shu Yu was not good at following in, so he only waited in the hall.

I only heard Mrs. Pei's voice coming out: "Axi? Let's comb my aunt's hair. How many times has my aunt told you, we are enlightened people, and we don't believe in those who don't. If you hide like this again, Afu will think that you don't like her! ”

After a while, Mrs. Pei, who had combed her hair, walked out with her two daughters-in-law on her left and right.

Shu Yu was sitting on a chair looking at the scenery in the court idly, and he would stand up and smile: "If my sister-in-law is skillful, my mother's hair is really well combed today." ”

Mrs. Pei didn't say anything, Afu also lowered her head and smiled, Wang Xi had an embarrassment on her face: "Erlang is biased now!" Today is your daughter-in-law's comb for A-Niang's hair, and your sister-in-law doesn't dare to take credit. ”

Shu Yu rubbed his hands and scratched his head embarrassedly.

Mrs. Pei intended to make the two daughters-in-law more harmonious, and she would send a message to catch up with Shuyu: "You go back to busy with official business, isn't it going to court tomorrow?" I will leave your daughter-in-law with my wife for a while, you won't be reluctant, right? ”

Shu Yu smiled: "There is no such reason. A-Niang remembers that I will be repaid. As she spoke, Afu met his eyes, and her deep eyes seemed to see through her, and she couldn't help but blush.

Wang Xi saw it in his eyes and secretly pinched his palm.

Old Madam Pei stretched out her hand to hit him, but Shuyu took advantage of the situation and left.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat under the blue screen window of the south house, and the evening scene was dazzling outside, and Mrs. Pei said, "Did you eat well at the banquet?" ”

Afu smiled: "Okay, it's just that my husband and he ate some of the spirits brewed by my second brother, and he was drunk at night, so he was delayed at his mother's house all night." ”

She would remember last night's madness, and she couldn't help but blush a little.

Wang Xi looked at her with a lot of unhappiness in his heart.

She is the daughter of Mrs. Pei's elder brother Wang Chengxiang, who has read poetry and books and has a very strict family education, so she can produce the queen's sister and the concubine's brother.

Since marrying into the Pei family, she has followed the rules everywhere, knowing that she is a widow and ominous, even if she feels uncomfortable, she will never appear on major occasions in the Pei Mansion.

But what about Xiang Fu? The youngest daughter of a scholar in the Ministry of Rites, after getting married, she didn't know how to be dignified everywhere, and now she is even more excessive, doesn't she know that when she returns to the door, she stays at her mother's house, and the luck of her husband's family has been poured over?

The Pei family is a military general, she really doesn't know how powerful!

Wang Xi is a straight intestine, thinking like this, his face was exposed, and his knife-like words rushed out: "Second lady, I don't want to use my sister-in-law's identity to pressure you, you have to know the rules at that time, how can you stay at your mother's house on the day you go back?" This is not good for the husband's family! ”

Old Madam Pei frowned slightly. This is the rule of the capital, and the Wang family has grown up at the feet of the Son of Heaven for generations, and they especially believe in these.

It has been decades since she married into the Pei family in Hexi, and these things have long been forgotten, but her niece said the word "unfavorable" in a daze, which still made her eardrums tingle.

Pei Dalang's death has always been a scar engraved on her heart, but it is not buried in it every day like her daughter-in-law.

The Xiang family's clan is in Wenzhou, and even if they come to the capital, the clan still continues the rules of the south, and these rules are unheard of.

Afu was very surprised, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Ah, this, what kind of truth is this, I don't know!" ”

Just speak well, and know how to be humble to your elders, this is Wang Xi's upbringing since childhood. If she was Xiang Fu, she would have gotten up quickly, first made a big bow to her mother, and then said, "The daughter-in-law doesn't know this rule, she is really ashamed, and the daughter-in-law invited herself to the temple to kneel"...

But Ave was different. She was anxious to cry, and pulled Pei's mother's sleeve: "Mother-in-law, how is this good?" ”

Mrs. Pei comforted gently: "It doesn't matter, God is spiritual, and he naturally knows that you are unintentional." What's more, Shuyu grew up in the capital, he still doesn't care, and he drinks too much, how can you beat him? ”

She took Afu's hand and gently soothed her.

Wang Xi was even more angry in her heart, and when she saw her aunt comforting Afu, she couldn't help but say again: "Auntie, having said that, there are many rules and regulations for the nobility of our family, and the second lady has just arrived, so she still has to pay more attention, otherwise where is the face of this family?" ”

Mrs. Pei nodded, there is nothing to say about this truth.

Afu burst into tears and looked at Wang Xi pitifully. She was genuinely worried, but she couldn't hurt Shuyu's yin because of this unintentional mistake.

This will be relieved by Mrs. Pei, and these tears are seven or eight points of protection.

What a character Wang Xi is, hard-hearted, and his words are fist-fisted: "Second brother and sister, I am a widow, and I can't go out to socialize for the Pei family." This burden is about to fall on you, if you don't have the courage to do this again, this is a loss of the Pei family! ”

Mrs. Pei said to the mud again: "Afu doesn't have to be afraid, the glory of the Pei family is earned by men, not ruined by a woman's family by stepping on a mistake or two." Seeing that Wang Xi was about to speak again, she changed her words again: "But your sister-in-law is the queen's sister-in-law, and her speech and demeanor are a model for nobles in the capital, so you have to learn more from her..."

Afu got up and said a blessing: "Daughter-in-law understands." Sister-in-law, daughter-in-law has been fostered in her godmother's house since she was a child, and she is less controlled, so she needs her sister-in-law to mention more. and tolerance. ”

She herself thinks that what Wang Xi said is reasonable, she has to learn, but if she really wants to learn to be as old-fashioned as Wang Xi, it is better not to learn.

Wang Xi said to Mrs. Pei: "In this case, the second brother and sister will follow me to learn the rules for a few days in the future, my aunt thinks..."

Old Madam Pei looked at Xiang Fu with a little pity: "Then Afu will learn from your sister-in-law for a few days, and you should also set an example for your third brother and sister who will pass through the door in August." ”

Afu wants to cry without tears, this....
