Chu Hua saw Pei Shufan refute his words in public, and his heart was secretly angry. But when he turned his head and saw that Pei Shufan's thin cheeks were sunken, and his hands holding the handkerchief outside the brocade quilt were full of green tendons, skinny as wood, and he no longer had the mellow and handsome appearance when he married him, Chu Huajin sighed, and said to Mother Zhao, who came in to reply: "Since Madam has ordered, let them come in." ”

Tongfang Tongxue, who was kneeling with her head down, heard Hou Ye's words, her shoulders moved slightly, and her body slowly fell humbly.

Pei Shufan sat on the side of the three sisters, you look at me, I look at you, do you think the eldest sister is sick and confused? - The three of them are sitting here with the three daughters who have not left the cabinet, and who is she knocking on these concubines to?

Pei Shufen, the fourth eldest member of the Pei family, stood up one by one, walked to Pei Shufan's bedside, and gave Chu Hua a blessing first, before turning his head to Pei Shufan, who was sitting on the bed, and said, "Eldest sister, don't be angry, if you have something to talk to your eldest brother-in-law." How can the couple have an overnight feud? After speaking, he smiled at Chu Huajin again, "The eldest sister is busy with family affairs, so our sisters won't bother for now." - Mother just said that she was going to Mrs. Tai to talk, and we were just about to go to greet Mrs. Tai, and I hope that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law will forgive us. ”

Pei Shufan knew that they had just come from Mrs. Tai, and now the fourth Shufen was talking about what was going to greet Mrs. Tai, but he was worried that he would continue to sit here, watching himself knock Chu Huajin and his favorite concubines, and sweep the face of Chu Huajin, the marquis.

If you want to say that it depends on the height of people's eyebrows and eyes, when you see people talking about people, and when you see ghosts, Pei Shufan wants to say that he is the second, and no one in this house dares to call him the first. Pei Shufen's little caution was not enough for her to see.

But so what? - No matter how shrewd and capable she Pei Shufan is, she can speak well, and she is also a person who is dying. She doesn't have the time or energy to fight eyebrow lawsuits with others. If she hadn't arranged all these things before she died, she would have died blind!

Who in this room doesn't want her to die early? If she didn't make a move in time, let Chu Hua take a look at his group of "sensible and courteous" aunts, what kind of things they were, and how could he make him dislike the aunts and give more snacks to the pair of children he left behind? ! ——These people have been doing flawless work before, but now they see that they can't live long in this main room, and finally they can't wait and show their feet.

Besides, my mother brought these sisters to visit the patient, and the purpose was already obvious, of course, she came to fill the position of Ning Yuanhou. These three sisters must know it. If you want to pretend to be good in front of Chu Huajin and pretend to be a virtuous and generous wife, it's still early.

Pei Shufan was smart, and she thought about such a big deal in her mind, but in fact, it was just a blink of an eye, she had already put away the anger on her face, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is a filial piety. But it's a different day, so you just have to wait. When I finish dealing with these little things, I will accompany you to greet Mrs. Tai. ”

Seeing that the eldest sister insisted on refusing to let them go, Pei Shufen had to smile apologetically at Chu Huajin, and blessed Pei Shufan again, saying, "My sister listens to my eldest sister." When the eldest sister used to be a girl at home, she said that she was one and the same, decisive in killing and punishing, and had the style of a general. Now these mayflies want to shake the tree, but it is just wishful thinking. My sister is here to cheer her up. After saying that, he returned to his place gracefully.

Chu Huajin's eyes turned on her, and then turned to Mother Zhao in the room, and asked, "Why haven't people come in yet?" ”

Mother Zhao glanced at the lady on the bed with some embarrassment, and didn't dare to speak.

Pei Shufan listened to Pei Shufen's words just now, and felt a little sluggish in his heart. However, for the sake of Pei Shufen who is only thirteen years old, she just thinks that she is a villain who does not know anything and has no intentions, and she does not take it very seriously. And Pei Shufen is the youngest, and she will never be allowed to sit in this room-filling position. - If she Pei Shufan is gone, this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will definitely marry and fill in the house within 100 days. Pei Shufen is still two years away from Jilu, and if she is allowed to marry in, she will destroy her young daughter. She Pei Shufan couldn't do this kind of thing.

Mother Zhao gave Mrs. a few looks, and seeing that Mrs. was all in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she had to reply stubbornly: "Back to the words of Lord Hou and Mrs. Not only did the four aunts come over, but the eldest young master, the second young master, and the eldest lady all came over to greet the lady together. ”

Pei Shufan was slightly stunned. Didn't she order anyone to call the children over just now?

Chu Huajin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he didn't look at Pei Shufan, he stood up and asked, "Madam is sick and can't work hard." Tell them not to bring the children over and disturb the lady. - Are you all talking to me as a deaf ear? ”

Mother Zhao hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The old slave doesn't know. The old slave had only passed on the words of the lady and asked the four aunts to come over, and he had never said that the young master and young lady would also come over. He also swore an oath: "The old slave must have false words, the sky thunders and splits, and in the next life, he will make cattle and horses for people, and he will not ......!" ”

"Shut up!" Chu Huajin didn't listen to Mother Zhao's words, so he stopped her angrily, "Madame is here, if you talk this kind of nonsense, you will only dirty Madame's ears!" ”

Chu Huajin didn't know why, he couldn't hear anyone say the word "death" in front of Pei Shufan.

Pei Shufan didn't care at all: Mother Zhao swore by herself, and it was none of her business. I am not a golden branch and jade leaf, I don't need to taboo this or that at every turn.

As soon as she thought about it, she thought of what it meant for these aunts to bring the children over. only sneered in his heart: this time they are going to steal chickens and rice.

The four aunts waiting outside, except for the youngest Aunt Fang, the other three were still wearing the plain printed long jackets they had just had. Even the two nine-year-old young masters, Chu Wenying and Chu Wenzhang, as well as the four-year-old young lady Chu Wenlin, were only wearing cotton clothes and no cloaks.

And Aunt Fang wore a lotus-blue doro-colored cloak, and she was wearing a purple lambskin hand warmer in her hand, and she was holding a stove in the hand warmer. She is young, delicate, slender, supple and intelligent. Although it was only included in the mansion at the beginning of the year, Hou Ye went to her yard the most, and he was already the first in the inner courtyard of the big house of the Hou Mansion in Ningyuan.

Today's events, she just followed other aunts and watched coldly. - Speaking of which, compared with the three older aunts, Aunt Fang is more optimistic about Madame. So after she went back, when the aunts came to invite her again, she deliberately put more thought into it. If Mrs. sees it in a while, she will understand her mind and receive her affection.

Hearing what Hou Ye was talking inside, Aunt Qi's face turned white, and she hurriedly said to Chu Wenlin's nurse beside her: "Mother Qi, take the eldest lady back first." It's cold today, go back and quickly give her a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, and then go to the kang to cover more. As he spoke, he gave the dumbfounded nurse a few more looks.

The nurse Mother Qi is the son of the Qi family brought from the Qi family, and she is the most loyal and clever on weekdays. After listening to Aunt Qi's instructions, and remembering the words of Master Hou that she had just heard, Mother Qi hurriedly said to Chu Wenlin: "Miss, go back with Mother Qi." Chu Wenlin still wanted to stay by Aunt Qi's side, but she was already picked up by the nurse and hurried out of the courtyard of Zhonglan Courtyard.

Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui beside Aunt Qi also suddenly woke up, and were about to instruct the people around them to send the eldest young master and the second young master back, but it was too late.

Mother Zhao came out of the inner room with a smile and said to the people waiting outside: "Master Hou and Mrs. let all the aunts and young masters go in." ”
