Chapter 34: The Fish Takes the Bait (1)

"Master, drink some more wine and dissipate the depression in your heart." She smiled softly, motioned for Pei Miaoqing to add wine to Pei Gui, and went up to give him a good breath, "The people of our Pei Mansion, since beating the old lady, they are all upright and unashamed, and it is easy to offend people, Zhiling also wants to help the family move around and make friends with some powerful people, and there is no bad intention." And after the eldest girl marries into Prince Gong's mansion, those powerful people may also be able to help, to put it mildly, it's all for the good of the family, so don't be angry with him. ”

Pei Gui said in a deep voice: "But after all, reading is the right way, you can see it......"

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Li hurriedly intercepted the conversation and said: "Master, what age is Zhi Yan, when it comes to the amount of reading, where is there more of his brother, don't praise him, he still thinks he is really so good when he looks back, so he refuses to work hard." Isn't that what you say? ”

Although Pei Zhiyan felt sorry for his mother and had to be a little low in front of Aunt Bai, he also learned a lot of truths in the book, and knew that only modest people can go far, so he said: "Yes, Daddy, there is knowledge in the world, I really have to learn a lot from my eldest brother in the future, today is the eldest sister's seat, we are happy." Then he directly picked up the wine glass and looked at Lan Yi, "Eldest sister, I respect you, I hope you and your brother-in-law's family are peaceful and give birth to a noble son early!" ”

Lan Yi covered her lips and smiled, and also raised the wine glass in front of her, "That's okay, find a chance to come and see me in the future, I'll wait for the day when you enter the Shiji and the first." ”

The atmosphere finally eased down, Aunt Bai was very satisfied with Aunt Li's mother and son's knowledge, and asked everyone to eat more, and Pei Zhiyan was small, and after drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, he was a little dizzy, and came over and whispered to Lan Yi, saying that when he grows up, when he grows up, he will be able to protect the eldest sister well after he has taken the meritorious name and become an official, and now I hope that the eldest sister can protect herself from suffering.

Lan Yi was warm in his heart, and said sincerely: "Second brother, you and your aunt treat me very well, I put it all in my heart, you must fight for it, our Pei Mansion, someone has to be able to stand up." But you don't have to worry about me, I'll live a good life with my heart. ”

Pei Zhiyan is ten years old, although he has been taught to be very stable in front of people, but at this time he is in private, and he is dizzy, somewhat childish, he stretched out a hand and said quietly: "That eldest sister, let's pull the hook, you wait for me to pay homage to the marquis, I wait for you to give me a little nephew, and my brother-in-law will grow old." ”

Lan Yi was moved, with some tears in her eyes, and also stretched out her hand, "Okay, let's pull the hook." ”

Aunt Li's mother and son gave her care and intimacy, is far beyond the reach of her father, when she is about to get married, people with anxiety and expectations for the future, sure enough, their minds are not very stable, and it is very easy to shed tears, and Aunt Li's eyes have never left her own son, she knows very well what is happening here, and when the sisters and brothers finished speaking, she came over and stroked Lanyi's back with a smile, and said angrily: "Your sister is a happy event, and she is a child, so she comes to make her cry." ”

Lan Yi smiled, "Auntie, I feel sorry for me, and my eyes are warm." ”

Aunt Li said: "Fortunately, you are not far away from marrying, and the prince's mansion is not bigger than the rules in the palace, maybe you can often see it in the future, our eldest girl has a good life, marrying is a trivial matter, don't be afraid of anything." ”

The three of them talked for a while, Lan Yi's mood was already stable, and he suddenly clapped his hands and called, "Bring up the tea that was brewed before." ”

Then she turned her face away and said to Pei Gui and Aunt Bai: "I know that I will drink alcohol today, my daughter prepared tea early, drink some now, it is better for the body to relieve the alcohol." ”

Aunt Bai boasted: "Look at the eldest girl, she has really grown up a lot after the initial decision, and she will feel distressed now." ”

Lan Yi watched the maid bring the tea to Aunt Bai, her tone was slightly cold, her eyes deepened a little, and she said: "Auntie taste it, this is the tea that my mother used to love to drink, and there are dried flowers in it, can you taste what it is?" ”

Aunt Bai's hand shook so slightly, the movement was subtle and invisible, but the teacup was so full that it almost spilled some.

It is said that she has experienced so many things, and she will not show any flaws, but Lan Yi's words were mentioned too suddenly, and she was not guarded for a moment to hide it, of course, she quickly took a sip calmly and naturally, and then said with a blank face: "It seems to have the smell of the lady's house, but if you want to say what kind of flower, I can't taste it." ”

Lan Yi didn't ask, but looked at Pei Gui, "Can Daddy taste it?" ”

Pei Gui took a sip, although there was still a taste of wine in his mouth, he obviously felt that the rich fragrance of osmanthus filled his mouth, and said directly: "I think, there must be osmanthus, your mother liked osmanthus very much back then." ”

He looked a little melancholy, but Lan Yi had already put all these melancholy and sorrow in the sleepless night, now she just lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the tea in front of her, and said faintly: "Some time ago, I met the doctor who took care of my mother's production outside the Jinyufang, and he said that my mother was drinking the cloud tea brewed with osmanthus and peach blossoms, it seems that Aunt Bai's tongue is not sensitive. ”

Aunt Bai's body froze instantly, her mind had always turned very fast in the matter of the back house, and Lan Yi slowly raised her head, her eyes suddenly sharpened, looking straight at her, and she also responded to what she thought in her heart.

It doesn't matter what's added to the tea, Lan Yi just wants to try it, to see if she is weak or not, and to see how far she knows about this tea. Even people like Pei Gui who don't know how to drink tea can taste this strong osmanthus aroma at once, why would Aunt Bai say that she can't taste it?

Because she is really weak-hearted, she is afraid that if she says osmanthus and peach blossoms, it will have something to do with the tea that Feng Ying drank in the past.

Aunt Bai didn't expect that Pei Lanyi's heart and eyes had grown to this appearance, and that look seemed to be about to devour her in the next second, so she could only smile with a cold sweat, "It seems that the master is better than me, and my tongue is really not very good." ”

Lan Yiwan actually got up in person, walked to Aunt Bai's side, took the teapot from the maid's hand, and then added a little bit to the teacup in front of Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai stood up in a panic and waved her hand again and again, "The eldest girl is so valuable, how can she add tea to me." ”

And Lan Yi stood close to her, and the fierceness in her tone, she heard it more clearly, "My aunt is loved by my father, she manages the house, and she is more or less my elder, and I will marry to King Gong's Mansion in the future, and I will no longer be able to add tea to my aunt, I used to be naughty, and I disrespected my aunt in many things, so you should be in this tea, there is my apology." ”

Aunt Bai said "don't dare to be" repeatedly, but Pei Gui was very relieved, and said on the side: "Sure enough, Yaoqing, you are right, after this girl was initially decided, she grew up, since she added tea to you, you can drink it." ”

Aunt Bai had no choice but to respond. Her mouth was full of bitterness, and after she raised the teacup and drank it all, she only felt that the fragrance of osmanthus was a knife that poked people, and it hung above her head, but she still had to pretend to be a mother on her face, "Big girl, I am a mother, where will I really be angry with you, I love you as my own child, I am afraid that you will be wronged elsewhere in the future, and I was afraid that you would go the wrong way, so don't hate me." ”

Lan Yi said lightly: "How can I hate my aunt, I will become Princess Gong in the future, if my aunt sees me, she will still salute, the heavenly family is noble, no matter how ordinary courtiers can't reach it, when I think that my aunt will be respected by me at that time, my heart is very uncomfortable." ”

Aunt Bai inexplicably heard the threat from these words, and was about to say something, but Aunt Leng said: "Anyway, the eldest girl will be a noble person in the future, so take care of her younger sisters more." ”

Lan Yi smiled again when she heard this, but this smile was only directed at Aunt Bai, and the answer in her mouth was still Aunt Leng's words, "This is natural, Miaoqing Miaoyun and I have to take care of it, Miaoyun can still pick and choose, but Miaoqing, at her age, it is time to get married, Aunt Bai, do you say?" ”

Aunt Bai's expression froze, and she said after a while: "Yes, Miaoqing, this girl...... is the same age as the eldest girl, so it's time to decide. But the eldest girl has just gotten married, and there must be a lot of things to be busy in the palace, so Miaoqing and I naturally don't dare to trouble the eldest girl to worry about this. ”

Lan Yi leaned in with her again, her voice slightly deep, "Auntie's business, and the second sister's business, are all my business, auntie don't be polite, auntie just think about it, I am the daughter-in-law of the saint, and I can pick a good person better than my aunt's identity, so I shouldn't shirk my kindness." Of course, I won't bully my aunt and second sister with my identity, don't worry. ”

After Lan Yi said this, she left leisurely, Aunt Bai sat in place, unable to make a sound for a long time, only felt that the laughter of others gradually left her, and the breeze in the spring could not blow her chaotic thoughts.

She only had three words in her head - "what to do".

Lan Yi's words are already obvious, marrying into Prince Gong's Mansion, how can the emperor not like it, and he also has the capital to fiddle with the concubines and concubines of Pei Mansion, if Pei Miaoqing is arranged by her, if she marries badly, it will be fine, in case Feng Ying's incident happens, what should she do? Not to mention the position of the wife, it is not impossible to be grounded for a lifetime.

Fortunately, Lan Yi didn't bring the doctor to her for the time being, everything was just her thoughts, those utensils back then, she couldn't find them, there was no evidence, even if she sued the yamen, she was also innocent, as long as the doctor didn't run to Pei Gui and say nonsense, just do it; No matter how bad it is...... If Lan Yi died like her mother, who would find out about these old things about the old sesame seeds.
