Gu Xi knew that her brother wanted her to marry into the Pei family, but the person her brother wanted her to marry was Pei Yan, who held real power, not Pei Tong, who had the title of eldest grandson.

But after she came into contact with Pei Yan, she changed her mind.

Instead of being a respectful couple with Pei Yan for the rest of their lives, it is better to marry Pei Tong who asks for her.

This is what she said to Gu Chang. But in fact, she faintly felt in her heart that Pei Yan was not so easy to manipulate, at least in her feelings, Pei Yan treated her without any special features, looking at her like a stranger, even more indifferent than looking at a stranger, with a little disdain and contempt, as if she could see through her thoughts at a glance and know her plans, which made her feel uneasy at the same time, but also scared.

Especially Pei Yan is still so handsome, so handsome that she is born as a woman, she has a kind of uneasy feeling with a pearl on her side.

She felt that she didn't have any advantage in front of Pei Yan, and she was a little afraid of Pei Yan.

This is completely different from the feeling that Pei Tong gave her.

Pei Tong is also very handsome, not inferior to Li Duan, and a few points better than Li Duan in temperament. The important thing is that he is gentle and polite, modest and humorous, frank and sincere, and his gaze at her is incomparably soft, which gives her instant confidence in front of him, and it is the special confidence of being born as a woman.

Compared with Pei Yan, she likes Pei Tong more.

Even if the Pei family is now in power with Pei Yan in charge.

If Pei Yan can't be used by her, what does Pei Yan have to do with her even if he is in power? What benefits could she get from Pei Yan?

Thinking about this, she chose Pei Tong without hesitation.

That's why she deliberately mentioned the matter of the Li family, and said quite schemingly: "Brother, what kind of people do you see my wife is looking for me?!" ”

Gu Chang didn't speak, feeling guilty.

Gu Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her purpose was achieved.

As long as Brother Ah felt a little guilty about her, she went against Brother Ah and engaged Pei Tong, Brother Ah not only did not pursue it, but also defended her.

She hurriedly said, "Brother, let's not mention the previous things again." What did Master Pei San say about Pei Dagongzi going to Hangzhou to study? ”

Gu Chang was also having a headache about this matter.

In his opinion, unless Pei Tong has no talent for reading and relies entirely on hard work, even if Pei Yan wants to stop Pei Tong from coming out, he will suppress him for a few years at most, and it is impossible to suppress Pei Tong forever. In this case, why don't you sell Pei Tong's favor, and simply let him go to Hangzhou to study. Besides, their Gu family is not like the Yang family, the Yang family has no background, and they are more impatient, and they are reluctant to let go when they grasp the eldest master of the Pei family, Pei You, and they can't wait to abduct their children and grandchildren to their family, and use the Pei family's network resources for their Yang family, and the Pei family is naturally disgusted.

They take care of the family but have been cultivating and reading heirlooms for generations, in line with the idea that helping their in-laws is to make good connections and benefit future generations, I don't know how many relatives and friends with reading talent have been guided. Of course, he is also selfish. If Pei Tong accepts the favor of the Gu family, he will definitely have to look up to Gu Xi after getting married, which will be beneficial to Gu Xi's future married life.

This is also the reason why he agreed to help her as soon as he heard Gu Xi say it.

Hearing Gu Xi mention it again at this time, he smiled bitterly a few times and said, "Pei Yaoguang didn't agree. According to his meaning, where to study depends on Pei Tong's own meaning, if Pei Tong intends to go out to study, let Pei Tong talk to him himself. ”

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't Master Pei tell Master Pei San?" ”

The brother and sister looked at each other.

Gu Chang immediately stood up and said, "This matter is not right-if Pei Tong is really as good as you say, how can he not even be willing to take responsibility for this little thing, but let a woman who has not officially married him come forward." Ah Xi, you have to think about this family business again. ”

Gu Xi obviously realized it, but she still held on to a fluke and said, "Then I'll ask him." Brother, don't be so nervous, maybe there's something going on that we don't know about? ”

The two families have exchanged Geng posts, and they have combined the eight characters, and they are about to be officially hired, and the marriage has been decided, if it is regretted at this time...... Gu Xi has already repented of getting married once...... The situation was very unfavorable to Gu Xi.

Gu Chang said with a calm face: "You don't care about this matter for now." I still have important matters to discuss with Pei Yaoguang in the evening, and I will take some time to talk to him about it after I see him. If Mrs. Pei asks, you will say that you don't know, and you have already handed over the matter to me. ”

After all, the eldest lady is Gu Xi's future mother-in-law, and Gu Xi will definitely not dare to offend her openly.

Gu Xi nodded.

Gu Chang said again: "This lecture, is the eldest lady here?" What about Pei Tong and Pei Fei? Have you come here? ”

The eldest lady is a widow and should not attend such meetings. But firstly, this is a temple, a place to worship Buddha, and secondly, it is presided over by the Pei family, and it is reasonable for her to come out as the chief daughter-in-law of the sect to help Pei Laoan entertain guests.

Gu Xi said: "The eldest wife, the eldest son, and the second son are all here. But the eldest lady was quiet and only saw me. ”

Gu Chang heard something and asked her, "Have you seen the eldest son and the second son of the Pei family?" ”

Although he was asking Gu Xi, his tone was very affirmative.

Gu Xi's face turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Before Daddy agreed to the Pei family's marriage, I had met Master Pei. He, he is still very good, and told me that he was a childhood sweetheart with the cousin of the Yang family since he was a child, but unfortunately her cousin Fu Qian died of a violent illness. ”

Pei Tong also confessed to her that he still thought that his cousin treated him well, but from the moment he decided to marry her, he would only put his cousin in his heart and treat his future wife and children well. Because his future wife and children are right, they should not bear his feelings for his cousin.

This made Gu Xi feel that Pei Tong was sincere in his treatment.

Gu Chang is a smart person, and he can guess Pei Tong's attitude towards his sister.

His expression was obscure.

This eldest son of the Pei family, whom he has never met, is obviously not a vegetarian either. If this person was not his brother-in-law, he would have high-fived and praised, but this person was his brother-in-law, and his requirements were different.

Gu Chang felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

He raised his eyes to see his sister's face full of satisfaction and a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, knowing that it was too late to say anything, his sister probably fell in love with Pei Tong.

The relationship between husband and wife is also like a game, whoever pays more loses!

Gu Chang couldn't help but remind his sister: "Be careful that he is using you!" ”

Gu Xi was very confident, his eyes flashed and said: "Being able to be used by others shows that it is valuable." He's using me, and I'm not using him. It's just that one has more means than the other. Pei Dagongzi has too few wins now, if he is willing to pretend to be affectionate in front of the Yang family, of course it is better for him. Maybe I can make friends with the daughters of the Yang family! ”

That's right.

Gu Chang was only afraid that Gu Xi would really have a long relationship with his children at that time.

Gu Xi said: "Brother, I can't rely on you forever, just try to let go and let me walk by myself for a while, right?" If it doesn't work, it's not too late for you to support me. ”

Gu Chang thought about it and felt that his sister's words were not unreasonable.

As long as Gu Xi becomes the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, even if the two of them turn against each other, Gu Xi is also the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, maybe because of this, Gu Xi has the value of being used by Pei Yan, and it is not necessary to be protected by Pei Yan.

"Okay!" Gu Chang finally decided to let his sister walk by herself, "You don't have too much pressure, if it doesn't work, there is also a brother!" ”

Gu Xi smiled gratefully at his brother.

If there was no brother, where would she have the courage to fight?

She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the topic and asked about something she was very concerned about: "I'm going to leave the cabinet, hasn't my brother chosen a sister-in-law yet?" ”

Gu Chang listened, and the woman in the honey-colored clothes he met on the corridor immediately came to mind.

If she is a girl from the Song and Wu families, it's okay.

The eldest husband is based in the world, and he can't rely on others, but he can't rely on himself either.

Although the Song family is now defeated, and although the martial family is snobbish, they are barely able to handle the in-laws.

Gu Chang felt hot in his heart, the corners of his mouth curled up when he didn't even notice it, and said, "Brother's business, Brother has his own ideas, you can take care of your own affairs." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles, feeling that this small room was stuffy and cramped, so that he could not stay for a quarter of an hour, and others moved as they pleased, and said, "Brother will go first." You stay in the wing room, nourish your spirits, and accompany Pei Lao'an to the lecture tomorrow. This is the first time you have appeared in front of everyone with the daughter of the Pei family, and there will definitely be many people who will pay attention to you, so you have to pay more attention. ”

Gu Xi also has to prepare the clothes for attending the lecture tomorrow, and it is getting late, although they are brothers and sisters, they are also different from men and women. She didn't stay with Gu Chang much, she personally sent Gu Chang to the gate, and stood under the eaves, and waited until Gu Chang's figure disappeared outside the courtyard wall, and then she turned back to her wing.

As soon as Gu Chang left his sister's residence, he couldn't wait to ask Gao Sheng: "Have you found the person I asked you to check?" ”

"I only know that I came to listen to the lecture with the daughter of the Pei family." Gao Sheng said guiltily, "I haven't found out which lady is in which house?" ”

Gu Chang let out an "oh" with some disappointment, and ordered Gao Sheng to continue to investigate, but he didn't know that Gao Sheng, like him, had made a mistake in the direction, and went to several families of young ladies who worshiped the Buddha to check, and subconsciously ignored that Yu Tang might just be a girl from an ordinary family, but a person who followed the daughter of the Pei family.

The Song family and Miss Peng quickly found out the details of Yu Tang.

Miss Song Liu's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Is it really just an ordinary young lady from a talented family?" So why did the Pei family treat her so well? and Miss Xu, who is the most tricky, and she is also good friends with her. Could it be that we are mistaken. ”

Cha Yutang is a member of the Peng family.

Miss Peng was immediately upset and said, "How could it be mistaken?" This is what I asked my eleventh brother to check. When our family has something important, we can only invite the eleventh brother. ”

If it weren't for the Peng family's plan to marry the Pei family this time, they would not have moved Peng Shiyi.
