Gu Xi's mood was very complicated when he gave Yu Tang tea.

She couldn't figure out whether she was more willing or jealous, or regretful.

If she had calmed down a little more and waited until the news of Yu Tang and Pei Yan's marriage came out before deciding on her marriage, would she not have faced such an embarrassing situation?

It doesn't seem to be.

In the Jiangnan area, among the younger generation, there is no better son-in-law than Pei Yan, even if she doesn't marry Pei Tong, she can't hook Pei Yan. And Pei Tong is the best candidate among the people she knows.

If she misses Pei Tong, I'm afraid she will regret it even more.

So be it?!

Gu Xi thought that life was all lived by himself. thinks that at the beginning, her mother was also married to a good family, and in the end, she didn't end up dying of illness.

She didn't believe that she couldn't live this life well.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that giving Yu Tang tea is not so difficult to accept.

Gu Xi's voice shouted "Third Uncle" to Yu Tang in a steady voice, neither enthusiastic but not cold.

The eldest lady nodded in satisfaction.

The few Miss Pei next to her covered their mouths and smiled.

Pei Lao'an glared at them angrily when he saw it.

The third, fourth, and fifth misses, who had not yet left the cabinet, shrank their shoulders like quails and did not dare to laugh anymore.

Yu Tang has a kind of cheerfulness with raised eyebrows, and his mood is exceptionally good.

She and Gu Xi are really fateful!

She likes the fate of this life so much.

"The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law don't have to be so polite." She said with a smile, handed the teacup to Xi Po who was standing next to her, took the meeting gift handed over by Qingyuan, and gave it to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi smiled and thanked him, seeing that Yu Tang's meeting gift had more jade pendants than those of his peers, and the water head of the jade pendant was okay, and his mood became better.

Although she will see Yu Tang in the future, she will have to give her a red envelope during the New Year's Festival, which can be regarded as a loss in etiquette but compensates her in money, not so badly.

However, Mrs. Yang, that is, the sister-in-law of Mrs. Yang's mother's family, couldn't help but start complaining about the Pei family on the way back after eating the wine of recognizing relatives: "It's still so stingy." I can't even give up in pairs. ”

This time, Mrs. Yang came over on behalf of the Yang family, and the meeting gifts of several uncles' families were about 2,000 taels of silver, which was very decent.

The eldest lady smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still expect the Pei family to be different from before?" Even when his father was there, there was no way to change it, not to mention that his father was gone, and Pei Yan was as stubborn as our old lady. In short, I can't count on the Pei family. ”

Mrs. Yang sighed, helped Mrs. Pei straighten the fox fur on her cloak, and said, "How did you think about what I told you?" ”

She also came this time for a purpose.

The Yang family wants to marry the Pei family again.

Pei Tong is not done, and Pei Fei is still there.

If Pei Fei's side doesn't work, then the Yang family can marry a girl from the Pei family and go back.

The Yang family took a fancy to the fifth lady, Pei Dan.

Mrs. Yang said, "It will definitely not embarrass you." I'm here to ask for a kiss for Feng'er. ”

Yang Feng is the second son of Mrs. Yang.

Although he is the second son, he is the best one in the Yang family.

It is true that there is no grievance against Pei Dan.

Mrs. Pei frowned. She doesn't like the second wife, and naturally she doesn't like the fifth miss born to the second wife, and she doesn't want the fifth lady to marry such a good husband.

"I have to wait for Ah Tong's marriage to pass." She said with some prevarication, "The second wife didn't leave for Shandong until the New Year, and there is still time." ”

But Mrs. Yang hurried back, and she wanted to settle the matter before going back. She couldn't help but say: "Your brother said, Pei Xuan, he used to look down on this person." Do you know who is fighting with Pei Xuan for the position of the political envoy of Shandong? It's the fifth master of the Li family! Pei Xuan, who was personally recommended by Mr. Zhang. ”

The big lady didn't know.

Her mouth widened slightly.

Not to mention that the Li family and the Zhang family are in-laws, they also advance and retreat together in the officialdom. If Pei Xuan's Shandong political envoy is really as Mrs. Yang said, then it means that the Zhang and Li families have paid a lot of money and given up a lot of interests in order to pull the Pei family into the game.

"Not only that," Mrs. Yang gave Mrs. Yang another hammer, "Pei Xuan's mentor is said to have served as the imperial history of the Imperial Palace." ”

One of the Nine Qings, he entered the core of the imperial court.

"Your brother hasn't figured out whether this is one of the conditions that the Zhang and Li families and Pei Xuan'en talked about, or just to win over the Pei family." Mrs. Yang muttered, "We all thought that Pei Xuan would stay in the capital to be a master or a young secretary or something, but I didn't expect him to give up the capital and choose Shandong, Shandong is very close to the capital, of course, this may not be the one he wants to choose, but the current position is definitely the best ...... for him."

She chattered, and the eldest lady was a little upset, but she knew that her current backer was her mother's family, and whether she liked it or not, she had to help her mother's family.

"Then I'll hurry up and ask." Mrs. Pei changed her mind, "You just wait for my news." ”

She didn't dare to guarantee that the second wife would agree.

Because the second wife is a filial daughter-in-law, she listens to Pei Lao'an's people for everything, and Pei Lao'an's people don't like her the most.

The two talked and went back to the house where the eldest lady lived.

Mrs. Yang still has a lot to ask Mrs. Pei, and they decided to rest together tonight.

The next day, Gu Xi and Pei Tong returned to the door, and Mrs. Pei went to the second wife.

The second wife was not there, so she asked the maid next to the second wife, saying that she had gone to the third wife.

It took a few breaths for the eldest lady to react, and the third lady was referring to Yu Tang's girl.

Now it's on par with them.

The eldest lady was a little unhappy in her heart, and the little maid still chattered: "The three young ladies are also at the third wife's place, saying that they want to go to the other courtyard outside the city to see the plum blossoms together, and the third lady also said that if the weather is too cold, he will not come back tonight." The fifth lady was happy, and brought the grill with her, saying that she was going to barbecue there to eat. The third master also asked him to bring venison over. I heard that it was sent by the Zhang family in the capital. We all want to go along. Haven't we seen venison look like yet? I heard that the big families in the capital are eating venison every day when winter is coming. If it's delicious, Miss Fifth will definitely eat venison in the future, maybe we can all taste it! ”

looks like a little family who has never seen the world.

The second wife is also from a family, and the house is full of these things.

The eldest lady snorted coldly, turned around and left.

The little maid looked left and right at no one, grimaced at the back of the eldest lady, and ran back to the house where the cage was burned.

Mrs. Yang listened to the reply but muttered, "Zhang's family? He also sent someone to bring venison. Do you value the Pei family so much? ”

It's a pity that after the second wife knew that the Yang family intended to marry her, she politely refused: "I told my sister-in-law that I wanted Adan to go to Jinling." ”

This is what it means to marry your daughter to her mother's family.

The eldest lady was not a good person at persuading other people, and it was even more difficult to say anything when she heard the rumors - if she had a daughter, she would also be willing to marry her own nephew.

It's just that as soon as she left on her front foot, the second empress dowager ran to Pei Lao'an's feet, told Pei Lao'an about it, and cried like a daughter complaining in front of her mother: "I don't have to marry Adan to Jinling, but a mother-in-law like Mrs. Yang is definitely not good." ”

She can't even fight the eldest wife, let alone beat the eldest wife, her delicate daughter is married, wouldn't she be bullied and can't even speak.

Before the eldest lady said that she was going to pick up her daughter-in-law in Hangzhou City, Pei Laoan held her breath, and later called Pei Tong over and beat a few words, Pei Tong was smart and persuaded the eldest lady to change her mind, Pei Laoan did not lose his temper, at this time, seeing that the Yang family had the idea of the Pei family again, where could he bear it. didn't wait for Mrs. Yang to return to Beijing, so she directly called Mrs. Yang to come over and reprimand: "You are also a person who raises children and daughters, why don't you have a little sympathy?" The children and relatives of the second room family are also what you can meddle in? Are they motherless or grandparents? Oh, I said it wrong, you only raised a son, and naturally you don't know the heart of raising a daughter. Our old lady is gone, and you don't have to worry about me, an old woman who only knows the courtyard of the deep house. But you're a mother, I'm not wrong about that, right? Since she is a mother, she has to set an example, why is she not as good as those servants in the family? What do those servants know what they can say and can't say, you have been married to the Pei family for so many years, you can't learn something? You ......"

The mother-in-law split her head and covered her face, and the speed of her speech hit her head like hail, and it took her a while to react.

When she reacted, she was anxious and angry, and she was ashamed to crash to death on the thick red lacquer pillar in Pei Lao'an's hall.

But Pei Lao'an still didn't let her go, and said, "Don't feel wronged." Know why I look down on you? It's because you're not good at learning. And it's ignorance and it's not easy to learn. What is your Yang family, have the copper coins on your body been washed clean? Why don't you learn well and bring some of the habits of the market to our home? If it weren't for Pei Tong, a sensible child, I think your room would be waiting like the Yang family, and there would be nothing to do except count the money. ”

This can poke the big lady's sore feet.

She got up and was about to hit the pillar.

Pei Lao'an looked at it and sneered, and said, "Don't dirty my place." If you want to bump into it, go back to your own house and hit it. It is just right that the two children are given to his second or third uncle to raise, so that they will not be damaged in your hands. ”

Aunt Chen is here, of course, it is impossible to let the eldest lady hit the pillar, some went to call Pei Yan and his wife, some reported to the second wife, and some called Mrs. Yang to come over.

Mrs. Yang is not a vegetarian either, and she bumped into Pei Lao'an with a smile: "Who would treat a widowed daughter-in-law like this." ”

Pei Lao'an people were originally knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but now that the tiger has come out, the fighting spirit is even stronger, and he sneered: "If you feel wronged, your uncle might as well take your sister-in-law home to live, and let those big families in the capital see if our Pei family is wrong or your Yang family is reasonable?" Or do my two grandchildren want to follow her mother back to Yang's house? ”

Mrs. Yang couldn't answer this.

Because in any way, it is easy for the eldest lady to go back to her parents' house, but she can't take away her two sons who have reached the age of dancing spoons.

This is the eldest wife's future dependence.

I can't take it away, what should I do if my sister-in-law goes back to her parents' house?

Pei Lao'an choked Mrs. Yang with a word.
