Pei Dan cheered, hugged his mother happily, and said, "Remember to tell me when the time comes." Then he hurriedly greeted Gu Xi, "Sister-in-law, I'll leave first, you have time to visit our house." ”

Gu Xi wanted to ask her "when", but then she thought that Pei Dan said this every time she met her, but in fact she never really gave her a post, and she once asked Pei Dan half-jokingly and half-truthfully when she invited her to sit at home, and how did Pei Dan answer her? It seems to say that the mother-in-law is in charge of the family's affairs, and she has no right to peck at her. But no one in the capital knows that Mrs. Qin has always promoted this daughter-in-law who was personally selected by herself, and Pei Dan said this is just a prevarication.

Maybe since the separation, she is not Pei Dan's serious sister-in-law.

Pei Dan doesn't have to respect her so much, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi was still a little sad in his heart.

She wants to make friends with the eunuchs in the capital, and a sister-in-law like Pei Dan is a good way. Pei Dan doesn't have anything to do with her, and for her, the loss is great.

But she couldn't force Pei Dan.

Their family was originally inferior to Pei Dan, and if she caught up with her again, it would be even more despised.

These things flashed through her mind, she secretly smiled self-deprecatingly, and replied to Pei Dan's words "Okay, we have time to get together again", and sent Pei Dan out with the second wife.

The second wife looked at her daughter's distant back, and kept complaining to Gu Xi: "This kid is becoming more and more disagreeable. I don't know how she lives at her mother-in-law's house? I think her mother-in-law is also very well-behaved, what if she provokes her mother-in-law to dislike it one day? ”

The second son of the Qin family became a relative a few years ago, and his wife is also a girl who is in the right household, and she is also the daughter-in-law personally selected by Mrs. Qin.

Gu Xi hurriedly comforted the second wife for a few words, and asked the second miss of the Pei family: "Is it true that he said that he was going to take the child to take office with his uncle?" ”

In the past few years, they often corresponded, but since the separation, the two have been in contact less and less, and now, she wants to know the news of several young ladies of the Pei family, and she has to ask the second wife.

The second wife nodded with a smile and said, "You also know, she is the most stubborn among the nieces, and when she came out of the cabinet, we were all worried about her, and told her to be more careless after she got married." She listened to it all in her ears. didn't expect that the second aunt was a good one. She has had no children for so many years, but her second aunt has not squinted and has been treating her as before. is also fortunate to meet such an uncle, and her temperament has gradually softened. Now it can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon. The second aunt was transferred to Huai'an Mansion for her sake, and she also made up her mind to follow her uncle to take office. In this way, you let me take a step, I will let you take a step, and life can be good. As for children, if there is one, it is not a big deal. ”

Gu Xi was very surprised.

She thought that Miss Pei Er would get into trouble with her husband.

In the early years, because of Miss Pei Er's stepmother-in-law, she had a lot of disputes with her husband. For a while, he actually lived in Ku'an Temple and helped Ku'an Temple manage the business of Buddha incense.

When the second wife saw it, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect it either." I heard that it was the third aunt and grandmother who went back to see her and persuaded her for several days. ”

The third miss of the Pei family married back to a foreign family, although the uncle is not very talented, but he is also honest and reliable, and he studies hard, and the third miss is a thorough and indifferent person, and she is at ease with her husband in her hometown to honor her in-laws, and she is not jealous of the brothers who have been named on the gold list one after another and are officials outside. Her in-laws like her temperament, and they also value her very much among several daughters-in-law, and the good things her sons give her little by little.

Although their mother-in-law is in charge of the family, the facts of the family have been handed over to the third lady, and they often give the third miss a name, so that her reputation has become more and more famous in recent years.

There are some things that she can persuade naturally.

Gu Xi thought of the fourth young lady, and couldn't help laughing: "She's still so spicy?" ”

The second wife glared at Gu Xi and said, "You can't say that." As the words fell, she laughed to herself.

The fourth lady married a family surnamed Hu in Fuyang, and her ancestors also had several prefects, county orders and the like, because she was related to the aunt of the fourth miss, and her uncle said peace, and the two became relatives. The fourth lady is low-married, and she is a cheerful talker, and the people of the Hu family dare not snub her, let alone stop her. came and went, and the people in Fuyang felt that she had a pungent personality and dared to say anything, but they were a little scared of her.

This is also something that no one expected.

Gu Xi didn't want to expose the ugliness of the fourth lady, she wanted to ask about the situation of the Hu family.

"I heard that last time the fourth aunt and grandmother went back, she brought her sister-in-law back." She said thoughtfully, "I don't know if her sister-in-law said that people have not?" ”

Gu Xi still believes in the character of the Pei family from the bottom of her heart, she thinks that the Pei family can marry the girl to the Hu family, and the Hu family's family style must be good.

If Pei Fei can marry the Hu family, not to mention that her relationship with the Pei family can go further, and she can also go further with Pei Fei, it will be even more difficult for the eldest lady to be a demon.

She didn't want to waste all her energy on the eldest lady.

Pei Tong is going to end, and she has to find an enlightened teacher for her son.

She doesn't want her son to be like Pei Tong, who is longer than a woman, hesitant and indecisive, and doesn't know what to say.

The second wife didn't really want to have anything to do with the eldest wife, and said, "Why don't you write a letter to ask the fourth aunt?" ”

The last time Miss Fourth took her sister-in-law to Pei's house, she wanted to use the reputation of the Pei family to tell her sister-in-law a better family.

At that time, Yu Tang had already returned to Lin'an, and the Hu family and Yu Tang's sister-in-law's maiden family were both in Fuyang, with Yu Tang's character, she would have this good fate.

However, it was all a year ago, Gu Xi said it a little late, I don't know if Miss Hu's marriage has been decided?

But Gu Xi also has his own scruples.

Pei Fei was very disdainful of her before, and she couldn't care about him.

Now, since he dared to rebel against the eldest lady, he was on the same boat as her, and she was naturally willing to have a better relationship with each other.

The two went back to the house, and Brother Yuan was napping in the nurse's arms.

The second wife asked the nurse to take Brother Yuan down to rest first: "Don't toss the child anymore, when he sleeps, you can stay here for dinner and then go back." ”

Gu Xi wanted to refuse to come at first, but then thought that Pei Tong would not come back for dinner today, Pei Fei was so angry that the eldest lady went to live in Daxiangguo Temple temporarily, she might as well not go back, and let the eldest lady have dinner at home alone.

She also decided not to let people tell the eldest lady at this time, when Yuan Ge'er woke up, and when her people went to tell the eldest wife.

When the eldest lady eats dinner, that's not her business.

After all, she didn't expect the child to sleep for so long, did she?

Gu Xi agreed with a smile, beckoned Hexiang in, asked her to go and say to the eldest wife, and gave the second wife a look at Hexiang behind her back.

Hexiang understood, nodded with a smile, and retreated.

The nurse hugged Brother Yuan and rested in the second wife's blue yarn cupboard.

The second wife was afraid of arguing with the child, so she simply went to the small courtyard in the west where Gu Xi lived when he first came to the capital.

The courtyard has changed a lot from when she moved out before.

The original place where the peony was planted was replanted with camellias, and the yard was set up with a grape trellis and a moon flower wall, although it was winter, the moon flowers were still blooming brilliantly, very bright.

The gardener was invited by Yu Tang outside, and he was an honest person, and he bowed down and stood in front of the second wife to tidy up the small courtyard: "The place where the third wife lives is full of green trees according to the old practice, and there are a lot of flowers planted in the small courtyard, which are different throughout the year. If you don't think it's appropriate, I'll take advantage of the fact that the weather hasn't completely cooled down, and transplant all these flowers in the yard into pots and put them in the flower room. ”

"No need!" The second wife had no intention of changing Yu Tang's decision back then, and said with a smile, "Even if this small courtyard is for people, it is also prepared for the guests at home, and it is good to have flowers and scenery." The third wife's side is full of the three masters' quirks, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”

The gardener breathed a sigh of relief.

The second wife was accompanied by her mother-in-law to see the whitewashed wall and the repainted dust.

It can be seen that they are all very attentive.

She couldn't help but say, "It cost a lot of money, right?" ”

After saying that, I felt a little gaffe.

In the past few years, she has been staring at the one-third of an acre of land at home every day, and she has a plan to have a good life, but she is not old, but she is already a yellow-faced woman.

The second wife didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "What does your third uncle do like it, the public middle school is getting more and more prosperous, even us, and we have also been stained with it in the past few years." ”

In other words, the money for the repair of the house was made in the public.

Gu Xi wanted to ask why it wasn't Pei Yanchu, but thinking that the two Pei brothers had always had a close relationship, she swallowed this sentence in time.

When she returned to the house in the evening, the eldest lady really lost her temper. Called her in and taught her a hard lesson.

She had expected it.

When he came back, he sent his nurse to accompany Brother Yuan to rest first.

She lowered her head, and Mrs. Ren scolded.

The eldest lady was tired of scolding, panting and resting from the maid's service, she went out of the room lightly, and looked up to see Pei Tong standing under the eaves.

The big red lantern shone on his face, cold and cold, with a frosty chill.

She was startled and said, "When did you come back?" Why don't you say a word when you come back? Mother-in-law just rested, or ...... Will you come back tomorrow morning to greet her old man? ”

If it was usual, Pei Tong would definitely not agree.

But this time, Pei Tong thought about it, actually nodded, and said to her indifferently: "Let's go!" It's cold, so you should go back to the house early! ”

Gu Xi responded meekly and followed behind Pei Tong, but his heart blossomed.

If it doesn't work once, it will be twice, and if it doesn't work twice, it will be ...... One day, she can make Pei Tong hate the eldest lady when she sees it, and she will be upset when she hears the eldest lady speak.

The next morning, Pei Tong didn't go to greet the eldest wife, and the reason he gave Gu Xi was that he went to Daxiangguo Temple to find Pei Fei: "You can't let him live in the temple all the time." ”

Gu Xi asked about the Yang family, Pei Tong also behaved indifferently, and said: "Relatives naturally want to help each other, but that silver was left by my grandfather to my father, and the two uncles in the family are also in the prime of life, so if you want to move that money, you have to greet the two uncles." ”

The implication is that it is not easy to do.

It's just an excuse not to borrow.

"Got it!" Gu Xi responded, snickering in his heart.
