Chapter 50: The Day of Return (2)

Qinghe took the order and left. There is a faint smoke in the smoke cage in Changfu Palace, which is the best agarwood incense, because the queen is weak and can't use these things, so the best spices in Shanggong are piled up in her treasury.

It's just like that, the Ruan family's money is now spent like flowing water, but ordinary officials and eunuchs don't know what it's like to have silver go to the sea, such as Pei's mansion, I only know that the eldest girl is going back to the door, so I have to prepare and clean up the house.

Lan Yi sent the gift list the day before, Pei Gui took Aunt Li to take a look, knowing that there were more things added to Prince Gong's mansion, Aunt Li said that the aunt was sensible and filial, which was to please the old man.

Pei Gui's smile couldn't be hidden, and he said: "Nonsense, he is the prince, I am a minister, even if I am filial, I can't be filial to my head." I must not pretend to be my husband. This gift list is just the dignity given by Prince Gong's Mansion and the queen's mother, and I will be grateful at that time. ”

Aunt Li said some nice things again, Pei Gui couldn't help it, and after a few hearty laughs, he suddenly felt that there had been no such thing in the house that made him so happy for a long time.

Since when did you return home and always be unhappy because of your children's affairs? Especially Lan Yi, almost a day made him worry, either confessing to his aunt, or saying that he was not doing well, but then he didn't say much, but other problems came up - Lan Yi and his words became less and less, and the father and daughter met like enemies, even if Pei Gui took the initiative to ask, she only answered a few dry words.

Now that I think about it, in this father-daughter relationship, Aunt Bai should have done a lot of trouble.

The smile gradually disappeared from his face, and after being silent for a while, Pei Gui suddenly asked, "When Lan Yi was at home in the past, did Bai Yaoqing always embarrass her?" ”

Aunt Li was also silent, and only asked after a while: "Does the master really want to know?" ”

Pei Gui bowed, "I want to know more clearly, what kind of life did this child live in the past." ”

Outside the window, the warbler is crying and dancing, there is a pot of tea in the window, Aunt Li's language is plain, but she explains everything very clearly, Lan Yi's life hidden in the shadows suddenly became a colorless picture, unfolding in front of Pei Gui.

The little girl dares to take her rouge gouache and use it casually, Lan Yi said a few words, they still have heart-piercing words to push back, when it is serious, the housekeeper and grandmother have to deduct even a bottle of head oil, Lan Yi has urged again and again to get what she should have.

Not to mention things like making new clothes, if Pei Miaoqing has three, then Lan Yi only has one, outside, the second girl and the third girl in Pei's mansion are more glamorous than the daughter-in-law. Poor Feng Ying left not many relics to her daughter, the only two shops were held by Aunt Bai, and even a few drops of oil and water could not leak into Lan Yi's hands, but her account was doing well, and when she came to Pei Gui here, it became a shop under Lan Yi's name that Pei Mansion had to subsidize, and she was a motherly heart, guarding the family property for the eldest girl.

The things used outside are still just small things, and now the shop has also been returned to her with Lan Yi's marriage. But not long after Feng Ying's death, the food in the Fenghe Courtyard was fed normally, yes, but there was nothing to be rancid and less salt, Lan Yi didn't have anything wrong with eating, it was already God's mercy, and this situation was only slightly improved in the first two years of her marriage.

Aunt Li babbled about it, and said: "I think the eldest girl was sensible at that time, and Aunt Bai felt that such a little trick was easy to drag her into the water, so she didn't do it again." ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to be shocked, and said cautiously: "The concubine body is also speculation, the master should be a deaf ear, after all, this is someone else's mind, how can the concubine body treat others with malice?" ”

Pei Gui's face was ugly, and he said coldly: "I don't need you to say it, I already know Bai Yaoqing's face, but I have really wronged Lan Yi with so many things in the past." You know, why don't you come and talk to me? ”

Aunt Li was a little timid, "Master, the eldest girl and the concubine were not very close at first, but after so many years, the concubine was kind to her, and she was gradually willing to say a few intimate words to the concubine." The eldest girl is really a good child, and at that time she had a bit of a stiff quarrel with the master, and told me not to stand up for her, so as not to affect her, and the temperament of the concubine body...... You know, even if you are wronged, you won't be silent, to put it bluntly, the little family is useless, and she is a woman who can't get on the stage, and she really doesn't dare to meddle in these things. ”

After a pause, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "The concubine is selfish, the eldest girl is suffering, that child is really scared of Aunt Bai, not to mention that she doesn't dare to be close to the concubine, even in front of the lord, you can't say it's bitter, it's too pitiful, the lord will still hurt her more in the future." ”

"I naturally know this, but now that she is the princess, in addition to love, I also have to respect." Pei Gui sighed again and again, and comforted Aunt Li, "On one side is the concubine, on the other side is the housekeeper's aunt, you are living in the cracks, there are some selfishness that is not harmful, nothing." ”

After thinking about it, he earnestly instructed, "Tomorrow Lan Yi will return to the door, you will organize the banquet better, according to the rules, they will not stay until noon, but they must also prepare good wine and food, in case His Royal Highness King Gong relaxes his mouth and stays for a while?" We can't wronged Lan Yi, and we can't let the royal family look down on her mother's family too much. ”

Aunt Li was very happy and responded, "Don't worry, for the sake of the eldest girl, the concubine will do her best." ”

On the second day, the sun is shining, there is a bit of momentum that is about to enter the summer, outside the palace of Prince Gong, the horseman raises his whip, the wheels roll leisurely on the ground, there are many guards around, the stars hold the moon and go to Pei's mansion, there are maidservants holding gifts in both hands, the scene should not be underestimated.

Lan Yi sat inside and asked Wei Changjue on the side, "Let's be like this, doesn't it seem too extravagant?" If it reaches the ears of your father, it will be good for you to be reprimanded. ”

Lan Yi didn't know how the father and son of the Heavenly Family should get along, but they applied their relationship to himself and Pei Gui, thinking that he had always quarreled before, and the more domineering he was, the more he annoyed him, and he felt that the palace should not be much worse.

"What is this?" Wei Changjue said, "Yesterday I inquired about the honor guard of the four emperors' younger brothers to accompany their younger brothers and sisters back to the door, that will only be more than us, not less, maybe when the time comes, my father will praise him for not falling into the majesty of the heavenly family, this kind of thing, it is just a matter of liking it or not." ”

Lan Yi felt sorry for him and leaned closer to him, "Anyway, we have food and drink, it doesn't matter if we like it or not, I learned a dish with the cook in the past two days, called 'Dinghu Shangsu', and I made it for you to eat when I was free, okay?" ”

Wei Changjue was interested, "Of course it's good, I have eaten this dish in Tianxiangyuan, it suits my taste." ”

When the two of them are together after the wedding, they always want to understand each other, and when they finish a sentence, a new sentence is connected, and they touch their hearts when they talk about it, and they often say that they go to the couch, and they can't talk about other people's things.

And Lan Yi was still hesitating, not knowing whether it was better for Yun Guiwu to mention it directly, or wait for Wei Changjue to say yes first, drag it around, and drag it until today.

At this time, it was easier to be in the carriage than at home, Lan Yi turned around a few times, and finally asked, "Tianxiangyuan?" I've heard of it, it's a, it's a green house, right? ”

Wei Changjue reacted that he had made a place that should not be mentioned in front of his wife, and he was sitting leisurely and crookedly, but now he quickly sat up straight and explained: "Yes, it's a green building, I will go there occasionally, but don't worry, I won't touch the people there, I mostly drink and talk about things in it." ”

Lan Yi didn't know why, she felt a little uncomfortable, pursed her lips and was silent for a while, before she said: "If a dignified son goes to that kind of place, if his father knows about it, how bad it is." ”

Wei Changjue smiled and said: "Don't worry, many officials in the court also often go there, and I went there to know more news." ”

The three words "Yungui Dance" swirled around Lan Yi's mouth, but he couldn't ask for a long time, now it is the time of affection, Lan Yi has promised a lot of "bold words" in the past, and at this time, he is a little reluctant to push his husband out, and he also feels ridiculous in his heart.

In the end, she just said half-jokingly: "When I used to be a girl at home, I didn't dare to run elsewhere when I went out, at most I went to Xia Jinyufang, went to Xia Silk Village, and a place like Tianxiangyuan, when I passed by, Ning Fu and I didn't dare to take a second look, we would only quietly squint our eyes and glance at them." Seriously, the girls standing in front of the door there are weirdly good-looking. ”

Wei Changjue leaned over, smiled and raised his hand to pin Lan Yi's broken hair behind her ear, and pinched the flesh on her cheek by the way, "They are like grease and powder and wall skin, no matter how ugly they are, they can be smeared into immortals, where is my lady good, clear water out of hibiscus, such a touch, only touch the soft cheeks." ”

Lan Yi's temper immediately came up, "So, you have also touched other people's cheeks, but unfortunately you only touched one hand of powder?" Then you can go to Tianxiangyuan to touch the fat powder in the future, don't come over and get tired of me. ”

Wei Changjue smiled dumbly, and said to forgiveness: "No, no, I look at them, where do I have the mind to touch, just like you said, I am the prince in the end, I followed the queen mother when I was a child, and I have seen my father's concubines, they are always better than the girls in Tianxiangyuan, I am used to it, a woman who is as beautiful as a flower is nothing, and I am not so visionless." ”

Lan Yi seized the loophole in his words and rushed to say like a cockfight: "Then you mean, if those women are better looking than the ladies in the palace, you will be tempted?" That top-brand cloud girl is very good-looking than girls, isn't it? ”
