Pei Xuan's promotion to the right attendant of the household department is the stroke of genius of Pei Xuan's mentor, and even Zhang Ying doesn't know it.

After Mrs. Zhang found out, she wanted to marry Pei Xuan.

But the only son of the Zhang family's current long house is only eight years old this year, the only son in the second room is older, ten years old, and the two sons in the third room, one is seven years old and the other is four years old, which are not suitable.

Especially after the death of the son of the Zhang family, the second son has to temporarily provoke some responsibilities of the long house, if the son of the second room marries Pei Xuan's daughter at this time, the grandson branch may be left behind, which will bury countless hidden dangers for a big family that pays attention to the eldest child.

Old Madam Zhang sighed.

Since the death of the eldest son, things have not been smooth in the Zhang family.

Could it be that the Zhang family's robbery is coming?

Old Madam Zhang's face was not very good.

Mrs. Zhang San knew the old lady's thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, Yaoguang has already arrived in the capital, and there are some things that don't need to be too urgent, take your time." The top priority is to entertain the two wives of the Pei family. ”

Mrs. Zhang bowed her head.

Mrs. Zhang San said one thing: "When I came, I saw the grandmother next to Grandma Yin, and said that I was ordered by Grandma Yin to go to Pei's house to greet Mrs. Pei San. Look, should we invite the eldest lady to visit Yin's mansion? ”

In the third room of the Zhang family, there is only one girl, Zhang Lihua in the second room.

Because the Zhang family did not break up, they called her the eldest lady.

Old Madam Zhang was a little surprised, and said, "Ah Xuan actually has a relationship with the third wife of the Pei family?" ”

In her impression, Yu Tang is a little girl from a squire's family, because she is from Lin'an, Pei Yan Zhishi, she has the opportunity to marry the Pei family.

Mrs. Zhang San talked about the cause of Miss Xu and Yu Tang.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She can answer whatever she can ask her three daughters-in-law, which shows that it took a lot of effort.

The eldest daughter-in-law in the family was picked and picked by her, and naturally she was very good in all aspects, which was enough to set an example. When choosing the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, I followed the preferences of the two sons, although they were the right people, but they didn't expect them to be housekeepers, and they were afraid that they would not get along with the eldest daughter-in-law after entering the door, so they chose the youngest daughter of the family.

Unexpectedly, something happened, the second daughter-in-law couldn't pick up her shoulders, couldn't lift her hands, and couldn't do anything clearly. The third daughter-in-law is no worse than the eldest daughter-in-law......

When Mrs. Zhang saw Mrs. Zhang, she couldn't help but whisper: "What can I do if I go on like this?" At that time, there will definitely be disputes in the family. It was still the old lady of the Pei family who was powerful, so she directly handed over the family business to Yaoguang. ”

Mr. Zhang did not speak.

The situation of the Zhang family and the Pei family is different.

If the third child of the Zhang family has the ability of the third child of the Pei family, he can also be as bold as the old lady Pei.

He felt that the affairs of the inner house were small, but the affairs of the court were big.

"You can take care of your family's affairs first." Boss Zhang said, "Tomorrow Yaoguang will come over." If we can't turn the situation around in three or five years, we will learn from the Pei family and keep our eyes on it. ”

It's just a pity that the situation that he has struggled all his life is about to be given up like this.

Mrs. Zhang saw that her husband was in an irritable mood, and it was not good to disturb him with the affairs of the house, and she thought about three or five years of hard work, and the eldest grandson was also twelve or thirteen years old, and he could get married.

She said, "Won't the wives of the Pei family come tomorrow?" ”

Mr. Zhang said: "What are they doing here?" They have just arrived in the capital, so there should be a lot of things to do at home, right? In a few days, it will be the Buddha Bathing Festival, and you will invite the daughters of the Pei family to go to the Yaowang Temple together. There's no need to rush this time, right? ”

But it's better to walk around in advance.

Mrs. Zhang made up her mind, and asked the eldest lady of the Zhang family to send a post to Xu Xuan early the next morning, who knew that the people of the Yin family said that Xu Xuan went to Pei's house, and said that she would not come back until the evening.

Miss Zhang was taken aback and said, "Isn't Sister Xu pregnant?" How could my cousin let her out? ”

Miss Zhang and Yin Mingyuan are cousins who have not come out of five suits.

The grandmother who replied to the letter covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "What can I do if Lord Yin is unwilling?" Fortunately, the young grandmother went in a sedan chair. Lord Yin went down at night, he should go to pick up the young grandmother, right? ”

That's right.

They are notoriously affectionate.

Miss Zhang had no choice but to wait for Xu Xuan's reply.

Xu Xuan, on her side, sat in the flower hall in the inner courtyard of the Pei family, admiring the flowers, eating the fruits, and excitedly complaining about the aunts and grandmothers of the Yin family: "...... Well, now, there's one more. It is Mingyuan's cousin, the one who married Gu Chaoyang. I just arrived in the capital, and when I heard that I was pregnant, my family came to see me without straightening it out, and I took a medical book and told me how to raise a baby. I was so annoyed that she couldn't do it, so I told her directly, when she became a mother, she would come to me and say this, now that I am about to become a mother, she is still nowhere to be seen, there is nothing to tell me. ”

Yu Tang didn't look angry when she looked at her, but like she had a new toy and was having fun.

She couldn't help but look at Xu Xuan's upright belly in awe, and felt amazing: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, you ...... everything."

The belly is as big as a basket.

And the original white jade-like face also had a few yellow spots.

Xu Xuan looked at her stomach and sighed, "I didn't expect me to get pregnant so soon." Then she pointed to her cheek, "Look, you see, I can't hold it down with powder, and Yin Mingyuan won't let me use powder." I haven't been out in a long time, it's too ugly. But, it's good that you're here, so let's go shopping tomorrow. I want to buy some materials to make some clothes to wear during confinement - Wen Po said, I gave birth in the summer, and the weather was so hot at that time! When I think about it, I feel that I have suffered a great sin, and I don't want to give birth. ”

Yu Tang knew that some people would be in a particularly bad mood when they were pregnant with children, so she tried her best to follow Xu Xuan, thinking that the Pei family would have their own silk shop to send new patterns to them to choose, not to mention the Xu family and the Yin family. Xu Xuan wants to go to the street, mainly because she wants to go out for a walk.

But she's been such a heavy month, and if someone hits her, it's a life-threatening thing.

She smiled: "I haven't been free these days!" The second sister-in-law can't sit in the carriage, and she vomits and is still lying down! Adan still has to serve the sick, and all the affairs of the family are in my hands. Why don't you wait for me for a few days? Wait until I'm out of the house, and then I'll hang out with you? “

Xu Xuan was really forced to be anxious, and said, "That's okay!" I'll come to you every day to help you. What do you want to buy and what are you missing, tell the maid and grandmother next to me directly, and I will ask the steward of the Yin family to buy it for you. “

In her heart, Yu Tang is unfamiliar with life, and this must be very difficult.

She can sit in their house and not run around!

Yu Tang accompanied her to chat in the flower hall, and showed the maids and grandmothers at home by the way.

As a result, when the fifth lady came over to get the soothing incense for the second wife, she saw Xu Xuan's appearance and immediately screamed, wanting to touch Xu Xuan's stomach but not daring to touch it: "Sister Xu, you are going to be a mother!" You're amazing! He won't kick you? I've heard people say that children kick their mothers when they're pregnant in their wombs, is that true? “

She chattered on a bunch of questions.

Xu Xuan smiled, not only answered one by one, but also took the initiative to tell her a lot of things, if it weren't for Ah Shan waiting next to her and stomping her feet, Yu Tang asked if An Shenxiang was waiting to be used, she estimated that she would have to talk to Xu Xuan for a long time.

Despite this, Miss Wu also took Xu Xuan's hand when she left, so that she could come to play when she was free.

Xu Xuan was very happy and said with a smile: "I'll come back tomorrow." ”

The fifth lady left satisfied.

In the evening, Pei Yan came back from Zhang's house, and Yin Mingyuan also happened to come to pick up Xu Xuan, and the two went to the inner courtyard together.

Yu Tang saw Yin Mingyuan, who was famous to her, for the first time.

He is handsome, fair-skinned, just a little thin, with a bit of sickness between his eyebrows and eyes, but his temperament is very good, warm as jade, standing next to the handsome Pei Yan, he was not suppressed by Pei Yan.

With such a temperament, Yu Tang is the first time I have seen it.

She couldn't help but glance at Yin Mingyuan a few more times.

After sending Yin Mingyuan and his family away, Pei Yan asked her: "Do you also think that people like Yin Mingyuan are very amiable?" ”

Yu Tang does feel that he is closer than Pei Yan, especially when he speaks and acts, he exudes warmth and thoughtfulness from his bones, he is polite and personable, which is much easier to approach than Pei Yan.

But she also knew that if she praised Yin Mingyuan so much, Pei Yan's peacock would definitely be unhappy, and she hurriedly said: "He looks a little sick, everyone must be careful with him, in case he gets sick, wouldn't he still be responsible for treating him?" We can't afford to do this! ”

Pei Yan was happy when she heard this, and took the initiative to clip the Sixi balls she just liked yesterday during the meal.

After eating, they went to visit the second wife.

Pei Xuan hasn't come back yet, saying that he was called by his mentor, and the second wife is already much better, and she is urging Pei Hong to write big characters.

Seeing Pei Yan and his wife coming over, he hurriedly asked people to make tea again, and said: "This is your second brother, a tea merchant in the same year, you can taste it or not, if it is good, I will let them buy some tomorrow and come back to prepare." ”

Pei Yan came to discuss the affairs of the family, drank tea, Pei Xuan has not come back, Pei Yan thought about it, and directly told the second wife about his intention: "The people who come and go here are all people from the officialdom, and the flower hall in the outer courtyard and the inner house is used by the second brother and the second sister-in-law." I'm going to open the side door to the north, and I'll be there when I get in and out. Although Ah Tong is a junior, he grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he also has his own friends, and I plan to let them move to the study in the west to live. You tell the second brother, see if it's okay? ”

The study on the west side was originally a private school for the children of the family to study, with more than a dozen rooms, a corner door for entering and exiting, and a special kitchen.

Pei Xuan felt that this arrangement was very good. As for the front yard and hall at home, he still meant to share it with Pei Yan. Because he was about to get up and go to the court, he just arrived at the household department, there were a lot of things, he came back very late at night, and sometimes he would sleep directly in the yamen, Mu Xiu couldn't rest, it was difficult to meet Pei Yan, so he asked the second wife to bring a letter to Pei Yan: "Don't be so clear." ”
