When Gu Xi was packing her luggage, several young ladies of the Pei family shouted to give her food, as if they didn't notice Pei Lao'an's euphemism to let her go home early, which made Gu Xi's heart feel a lot better, and her face was not so embarrassed. can see off this kind of thing, she thinks that she doesn't have such a thick skin, pretending not to know what to do, eating and drinking with several young ladies of the Pei family.

Yu Tang had no intention of pretending in front of Gu Xi, she understood what Pei Lao'an meant, and she didn't even say a kind word.

This made Gu Xi secretly guess, did Yu Tang know something?

But no matter what, Gu Xi is leaving, but she is still unwilling, thinking that she should go to Pei Lao'an alone to say goodbye, if she can probe Pei Lao'an's tone and know why Pei Lao'an will urge her to return home, it would be the best; If she doesn't have the opportunity, she can say a few words to Pei Lao'an alone - no matter which family she marries into as a housewife in the future, it is impossible for her to have no intersection with the Pei family. What's more, in the past few days in the Pei family, she has been able to play with several young ladies of the Pei family, and the young ladies of the Pei family are not the kind of people who have a lot of thoughts, they are people worth dating.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the second lady's marriage.

The Yang family has also been in the eyes of their Gu family, but the girls of their Gu family and Yang Gongzi are the same age as only a few young ladies in the outer room, so there is naturally no need to mention it if they get married. Her stepmother also regretted that the age difference between her half-sisters and Yang Gongzi was too big, Yang Gongzi was the eldest son, and I was afraid that he was unwilling to marry a wife who was too young.

The family affair that the third lady married is also good.

Although it is a cousin and brother, the third lady's mother's maiden family is also a serious scholar, a generation of eunuchs, and a jinshi can be produced every one or two generations. In this generation, the Jiangxi political envoy who has done the most official in the family is the uncle of the third lady's cousin.

This is the essence of a wealthy family.

It's just that her father is not angry, and then she is instigated by her stepmother and only knows how to suppress her uncle, even if their second room is supported by her brother, I am afraid that it will not last long.

Gu Xi let out a long sigh.

He Xiang walked in with a somewhat flustered expression, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, eldest lady, it is the eldest lady from Pei Mansion who sent a maid over, saying that she heard that you are going back to Hangzhou City, and sent two pots of Jianlan over to do the ceremony." ”

Gu Xi hesitated for a long time.

She doesn't want to wade into the troubled waters of the Pei family, so the eldest lady is there...... She regretted a little that time to make a special trip to make friends with the eldest wife. Originally, she just wanted Pei Laoan and Pei Yan to see her means of socializing, but now she gave the eldest lady an excuse to get close to her.

knew that it shouldn't, but the eldest lady sent someone to deliver orchids, but she suddenly felt a faint joy in her heart.

Don't you think that I have lived in your house for too long and have not had the cultivation and consciousness of being a guest, so I will simply break the jar and be a person who doesn't know anything.

Besides, the Yang family is not easy to mess with.

Although it was a little weak in the past, this generation has produced three Beijing officials, and it can prosper for at least another twenty years, why should she push the people of the Yang family out?

Gu Xi smiled: "I invited that maid to come in and reward her with some broken silver." I just said that I accepted the flowers, thank you for the love of the eldest lady. If the eldest lady has the opportunity to go to Hangzhou, please be sure to come to our house to sit down. Our wife is also a hospitable person, and she went to our house to drink enough. ”

Her stepmother has a wine shop for marriage, and since she married into the Gu family, she especially likes to use the wine banquet guests from her own wine shop to shout for her own wine shop. She used to be most annoyed by this, but now she thinks that her stepmother is not bad like this.

Hexiang led the eldest lady's little maid in.

Pei Lao'an's side was talking to Yi Lao'an's people: "I thought it was a young lady of the family, and I should act quietly and know." She knows it in her heart, but this temperament is ...... Therefore, this person's character still can't all depend on his background, and the most rare thing for a woman's family is to know when to be shrewd and when to pretend to be confused. ”

Yi Lao An was also a heroine in the past, but in the past ten or twenty years of serving the old lady Yi who is not in good health, he is getting older, treating people more and more leniently, and his temper is getting better and better. She smiled when she heard this: "Then you still drive people like this?" I saw that the girl was ashamed and indignant, and I was afraid that I would miss our family and make enemies for the juniors for no reason. ”

Pei Laoan snorted disapprovingly, and said, "The girl from our family is not a flower in a greenhouse, you can only see it, you can't use it." If they can't even avoid this little trick, how can they get along with the older and more experienced concubines and aunts in the family? ”

Yi Lao'an smiled and said, "I think that little girl is also good." It may be that there is no one who understands the teaching, but the person is smart. ”

Pei Laoan didn't know whether he looked down on the Gu family or Gu Xi, and said: "Few of these who grew up with their stepmother can be good. If you don't have this way, then hide it! Look at the little girl of the Yu family, she is honest and doesn't pretend to be smart, I think it's good. If you don't have this diamond, don't go to the porcelain job! ”

"You!" Yi Lao'an shook his head with a smile, "What's messing with you again?" You want to be angry with other people's little girls. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the conservatory, "Or is that the thing?" ”

Pei Lao'an immediately lowered his face and said, "What do you say I have done?" He was disobedient when he was alive, and he had to marry the Yang family. Now that the people are gone, they still leave me with such a big mess. The old man in our family too, he didn't know what to do, so he threw the pot to the third child. What about the third child? On one side is his widowed sister-in-law, and on the other side is his lost nephew. Everything he does is wrong! I looked at it, and if I want to say that the boss is not filial, it is because he is like an old man, he has done something wrong, and he has no choice, so he simply quit and let others help him clean up. Only the third child in our family is the most pitiful. But whoever makes him like me, I wish everyone in the family was good, and he would suffer a little loss......"

Yi Lao'an couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Are you pitying the third child of your family?" Still praising yourself? ”

Pei Laoan thought about it and laughed out loud.

The gloom in the room was swept away and became cheerful.

Pei Laoan and Yi Laoan wanted to discuss the marriage of the second lady with the Yang family, but Gu Xi did not find a chance to resign to Pei Laoan alone.

The marriage between the second lady and the Yang family was quickly discussed. Because the second lady is the niece and granddaughter of the third room, although she has not left the cabinet, she only needs to keep filial piety for nine months. Several young ladies continued to dress plainly, and they respected the old lady Pei who died in the sect. The Yang family also meant this, thinking that the two families would make a small decision first, and only invited close relatives to watch the ceremony, and waited until the Pei family's sect room was in addition to the service, and then officially hired, and welcomed the second lady into the door.

Pei Laoan people don't think it's necessary to do this, just remember Mrs. Pei's teachings. Yi Lao'an was very persistent, and felt that the meaning of the Yang family was very much in line with her wishes, so she sent someone to tell the parents of the second miss, and the matter was settled.

At this time, Gu Xi had been escorted back to Hangzhou City by the people sent by the Pei family, and Yu Tang thought that he should also go home.

She went to say goodbye to Pei Laoan.

Pei Lao'an did not keep her, but loaded two mule carts full of silk and satin, dried medicinal herbs, and food snacks. Several ladies of the Pei family took her hand and were reluctant: "When the time comes, you must come to our house to pay New Year's greetings to the two Lao Anren!" ”

Yu Tang didn't know if it would be appropriate to enter the mansion at that time, but if she had the opportunity, she still wanted to give the two Lao An people a New Year's greeting.

She nodded again and again, and said a lot of reluctant words to several young ladies of the Pei family, and then sat in the sedan chair of the Pei family and returned to the Yu family.

Two mule cart stuff.

As soon as Yu Tang entered Qingzhu Lane, he was surrounded by neighbors, this one asked where Yu Tang went, and the other asked where the things on the mule cart came from. Yu Tang had no intention of publicizing her relationship with the Pei family, and replied vaguely, but Mrs. Chen, who had been paying attention to when Yu Tang would come back, heard the movement, ran over and sent the surrounding neighbors away with a few words, and Yu Tang entered the gate smoothly.

Chen hugged Yu Tang and didn't speak, and tears fell first: "My son, let me take a closer look, you have been gone for more than half a month, and your mother has not slept well for a day." How are you doing in the Pei family? Are the young ladies of the Pei family easy to get along with? Did they embarrass you? ”

It's just that before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yu Wen, who was waiting next to her: "What are you talking about?" Don't you see that Ah Tang looks much better than when he left home? also brought two carts of things back, which shows that Pei Laoan also likes her very much. Right? Ah Tang! ”

Having said that, Yu Wen's eager tone and his gaze looking her up and down revealed his concern and concern.

Yu Tang should say "yes", and tears fell with his mother: "Well, the Pei family is very good to me up and down, and I also followed them to Ku'an Temple." I'm fine, I almost don't want to come back. ”

"You kid!" The eldest aunt and Xiang, who were originally standing under the eaves watching their family reunion, didn't know when they came over, the eldest aunt said with a smile, patted Yu Tang's shoulder gently, and said in a low voice: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Your mother knew that you were coming back the day before yesterday, and she talked about you every day, buying meat and fish, and making a lot of snacks that you like to eat. ”

Yu Tang smiled, tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes.

Xiang took out his handkerchief and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back." We happened to be preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. ”

Yu Tang nodded again and again, and found that Xiang's stomach was quite high.

"Ouch!" She looked at Xiang in awe and envy, "With such a big belly, did you ask the doctor to take a look in advance?" Do you want to settle down early? ”

"You!" The eldest aunt looked at Yu Tang lovingly, and said with a smile, "No wonder your mother doesn't think about you for a day, it's just a little padded jacket, and she doesn't stand firm, but she cares about your sister-in-law." The eldest aunt didn't hurt you in vain. ”

Yu Tang lowered his head embarrassedly.

The eldest aunt and her mother were both experienced people, and it was her turn to ask about these things.

But the whole family laughed, and even the eldest uncle, who had always been a little upright in front of Yu Tang, did not hide the joy in his heart, and laughed with everyone.
