Mrs. Xia looked at the third child Pei Shufang in the mirror again. I saw that she was smiling and holding another mirror, and she was holding the back of Mrs. Xia's hair in a bun.

Pei Shufang is sixteen years old this year and was born to Mrs. Xia's dowry maid. Although her appearance is not as good as that of the second Pei Shulan, she has an outstanding posture and an honest temperament, but she is also smart-minded, and she knows how to advance and retreat. Don't say a word about what you shouldn't say, and don't do anything you shouldn't do. For a girl of her age, it's really rare.

Pei Shufang's biological mother went early, and she grew up with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia, but among the three sisters, she was the most low-key. Unlike some concubines, if they are raised by their mother's side, they don't feel a sense of superiority, and they always feel that they are higher than other concubines. Pei Shufang is so sensible, Mrs. Xia pities her very much, and originally planned to pick a good in-law for her.

Mrs. Xia couldn't help sighing, and it seemed that only the third Pei Shufang was the most suitable.

The fourth lady, Pei Shufen, looked at Mrs. Xia's eyes from the side, and couldn't help but turn a little pale. She knew that Mrs. Xia was picking her brother-in-law's candidate to fill the house, and no matter who she picked, she seemed to be excluded.

"Mother, this soothing tea bag of mine is made by me, not by others. Mother is relieved and clean. I didn't let Kiritsu and the others stick a finger. - Mother told me to send it to my sister. Pei Shufen gritted his teeth and said. Since her mother can't look down on herself, she can only work her eldest sister. If the eldest sister takes a fancy to herself and insists on picking herself to fill the house, it is useless for the mother to oppose it.

Mrs. Xia's hair had been combed and the makeup on her face had been put on, so she smiled at the second and third Shu Lan and the third Shu Fang: "You really have a pair of skillful hands." Go ahead, you can go down and rest for a while, and wait for me to go to breakfast with your four sisters." ”

Pei Shulan and Pei Shufang answered "yes" together, and the two went down hand in hand.

Pei Shufen quickly stood up at a loss, looked at Mrs. Xia with two eyes, and a red cloud flew on her face.

Mrs. Xia frowned slightly and glanced at Pei Shufen. She's only thirteen years old, does she want to ......?

If she is willing, it is not impossible, maybe it is better than letting the third Pei Shufang marry. You can marry her first, and then round the house when she is ready. This also had many precedents in the Great Qi Dynasty. In this way, when she has a round house and can give birth to a child, Shu Fan's child is already older, and they don't have to worry too much.

They planned to let Shu Fan's sister do the house-filling, but just for Shu Fan's two young children. An aunt is always better than an outsider as a stepmother. Moreover, he and the old man are not very old, and Shu Fan has three brothers-in-law, all of whom can contribute a little. No matter which of these concubines marries, they have to rely on themselves, their masters, and the three sons of the Pei family who are officials, to support them as their mothers' families. For the help of their mother's family, they also had to give birth to the two children left by Shu Fan.

Mrs. Xia couldn't decide who to choose for a while, thinking that she should discuss it with her eldest daughter Shu Fan.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia felt that she could start to mention Pei Shufen a few words, "Shufen, I specially left you here to remind you." We are in our own family, there are few people, and there are not so many rights and wrongs, which is a blessing and a curse for your daughter's family. Mrs. Xia didn't ask Pei Shufen to sit down, so she talked to her like this.

Pei Shufen's face turned white, knowing that he had committed a taboo again. She has been in this world for seven or eight years, and in the first few years, she has been living with her biological mother and aunt. 's biological mother, if you want to say that her status is not low, is given by Emperor Longqing, and she also has a title. It's just that he is too high, and he never disdains to compete for favor and welcome, so that his father can't wait to come to his and his aunt's yard. My aunt only knows how to play the piano and write poems all day long, and has never taught herself the rules of human relations and everyone. After my aunt passed away three years ago, I was reluctant to move to my mother's yard because of the secret of Langjingdongtian, and the more I separated from my mother, the less I learned.

"Mother, my daughter is young and ignorant, and I hope that my mother will give me advice. My daughter must keep it in mind. When Pei Shufen said this, he was sincere. She now wants to know too much how to be a qualified housewife in the family.

Seeing that Pei Shufen's face was frightened, Mrs. Xia's heart softened, she stretched out her hand and pulled her over, sat on the footrest next to her, and said softly: "You are young, but you should be sensible." I know that you are dedicated to the good of your eldest sister, but you must know that the most taboo in everyone is to send these imported things. You have to have this heart, just send the prescription is enough. If you give a tea bag and cause trouble in the future, even if you don't do it, you will be at a loss. ”

Only then did Pei Shufen understand what Mrs. Xia meant, and couldn't help but be a little sneering. Mrs. Xia said these things, she didn't know. It's just that she was bent on thinking that the herbs in her Langjing Cave Heaven were not comparable to the outside, so she insisted on giving herself tea bags made by herself. Although this tea bag cannot cure the eldest sister's illness, it can relieve her pain and make her sleep better at night.

Pei Shufen felt that in this way, he could feel less guilty. Who knows that it is still a taboo to do so.

She had no choice but to laugh and say, "It can't be that coincidental." ”

Mrs. Xia saw that Pei Shufen looked indifferent, and she didn't mention it to her anymore. The girls don't hit the south wall and don't look back, and when she hits her head and bleeds, she naturally knows that the words of the older generation are all wise sayings.

"Come, help me up, let's go have breakfast." Mrs. Xia stretched out her hand to Pei Shufen.

Pei Shufen took Mrs. Xia's hand with a busy smile, and the two went out together.

In the dining room on the side, several big maids had already set up breakfast and waited for the master to come over.

Seeing the fourth lady Pei Shufen helping Mrs. Xia over, several big girls bent their knees and blessed, and said, "I've seen Madame, I've seen Fourth Miss." ”

The second lady Pei Shulan and the third lady Pei Shufang were already waiting there.

Seeing their mother-in-law and the fourth sister coming over, they also quickly stood up, saluted their mother-in-law, and greeted the fourth sister.

Pei Shufen hurriedly returned the gift to the two sisters.

"Sit down. We just came back, and the mother-in-law on the stove didn't bring a few more. I don't know if the dishes cooked here are still appetizing. Mrs. Xia waved her hand casually, and she sat down on the top first.

The Pei family's breakfast table is a rectangular cherry wood table. At the top of the table was a set of rain-colored tableware, and there was a small bowl the size of a tea cup, which contained green and shiny Oda rouge japonica rice lily porridge. A small plate the size of a palm is used for Mrs. Xia to pick up vegetables. A pair of ivory chopsticks with silver at the bottom resting on a jade-white chopstick rest.

On the left hand side below Mrs. Xia are two sets of identical tableware with painted orchids, the same small bowl, a small plate, and a pair of silver-covered ebony chopsticks.

On the right-hand side is a set of tableware painted with apricot blossoms, and the dishes, dishes and chopsticks are all in the same format as the two pieces on the left-hand side opposite.

The three sisters of the Pei family all sat down. As before, the second lady Pei Shulan and the fourth miss Pei Shufen sat together in the two positions on the left hand position, and the third lady Pei Shufang sat on the right hand seat of Mrs. Xia.

In Pei's house, they have been sitting like this since they were children. Because the biological mothers of the second lady Shu Lan and the fourth miss Shu Fen were both beautiful maids given by Emperor Longqing back then, they are from the same background. The third miss was carried by Mrs. Xia's dowry maid, and her background was not as good as that of the second and fourth misses. Of course, these are all rules on the surface. In private, the second miss Shu Lan and the third miss Shu Fang are even closer because they are close in age. The fourth lady, Shu Fen, was young, and she was born with a strange cow nature, and she was not the same as everyone else, so she was singled.

"Mother eats, sister (sister) eats." The three sisters of the Pei family saw Mrs. Xia raise their chopsticks, so they each raised their chopsticks and began to eat breakfast.

The Pei family came to Beijing this time, and they didn't have many people, so they only prepared four side dishes in the morning, two vegetables and two meats, and served them on medium-sized plates. I also stewed two pots of soup, put it in a soup bowl, and served it. A bamboo silk black chicken winter bamboo shoot soup is for the ladies. A lamb and soybean soup with milk is for Mrs. Xia.

Pei Shufen glanced at the milk lamb and soybean soup, and was slightly amazed at the medical standard of this world. This soup couldn't be better for menopausal women. No wonder my mother-in-law, Mrs. Xia, is almost fifty years old, she is still empathetic, has a keen temperament, and does not have the shortcomings of middle-aged women's paranoia.
