Pei Shufen heard Mrs. Tai's tentative question, pursed her lips and smiled, sat on the side of Chu Huajin's bed, took a spoon and put it in the bowl of almond tea noodles, held it in both hands and handed it to Chu Huajin, and said, "Fortunately, I walked fast, and I brought it in when it was ready, and it was not hot." Look// "I brought another bowl to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai and Chu Huajin were a little embarrassed, took the almond tea and ate it.

Pei Shufen sat next to him and watched for a while, and asked with a smile: "Master Hou, I want to go and inspect my shops today, can I go out of the house after noon to have a look?" ”

Chu Hua agreed, and praised Mrs. Tai: "Mother, Shu Fen took care of those shops very well, and my son thought that I would give her a few more shops to take care of." "There is a bit of a weak heart.

Mrs. Tai also smiled and said, "Shu Fen is smart and studious, she is really a good daughter-in-law who is hard to find with a lantern!" The tone is a bit exaggerated.

Pei Shufen sneered in her heart, but she still smiled heartily on her face, put on a humble look, and said, "Hou Ye and Niang praised it."

My shops are just going to be flat. If I hadn't watched it a lot, I wouldn't know what the loss would have been. As he spoke, he put the tea bowl that Mrs. Tai and Chu Hua had finished eating on the tray, "You talk slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to see how the lunch is prepared." With that, he turned and walked out of the inner room.

Mrs. Tai looked at Pei Shufen's distant back, and quietly asked Chu Huajin: "She shouldn't have heard it, right?" ”

Chu Hua thought for a moment and said, "There shouldn't be." Shu Fen's city is not as deep as her sister-in-law, and what she thinks in her heart can be seen on her face. - Mother, don't worry. ”

Thinking of Mr. Shan's words, Chu Huajin smiled again and whispered to Mrs. Tai: "...... Mother, don't care too much about the Pei family. She had already offended the Pei family. ”

Chu Huajin has nothing to say to Mr. Shan now, and he also complains about this kind of housework. Mr. Shan felt that the Pei family might not support Pei Shufen anymore.

Mrs. Tai glanced at Chu Huajin, but she was a little worried: "Seeing that the boss of the Pei family is going to be the first assistant, if the Pei family really ignores Shu Fen, then the eldest prince ······." is worried that Pei Shuren will make an obstacle to the prince's road to the crown prince.

Chu Huajin said casually: "This mother doesn't have to worry. Mr. Shan said that as long as Yi'er and Qianqian are still surnamed Chu, the Pei family will definitely stand on the side of the eldest prince. ”

Speaking of Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian, Mrs. Tai looked unconcerned again, and snorted coldly: "The Pei family spoiled two children in their lives. Saying that, Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian recently said about their disrespect to Pei Shufen again, and said: "You said, Shufen is their mother, they are so unfilial, the reputation of our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion will be ruined by them!" ”

Chu Huajin lowered his head and muttered for a while, and said slowly: "Now that everything is complicated, my mother should not be too harsh on Yi'er and Humility for the time being." When the dust settles on the matter of the next step, I will think about it. ”

The matter of the next step is, of course, the most important thing, which is related to the status and glory of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion for hundreds of years to come.

Mrs. Tai got up on crutches and said, "Aunt Qi, you have to go there a few more times." ”

Chu Huajin nodded and smiled: "No need to say it, I will go often." ”

Mrs. Tai got up and went back to her Cining Courtyard, leaving Chu Huajin alone in the house to think of a way.

Pei Shufen went out to the kitchen first, took a look at today's meal preparations, and saw that everything was ready, so she instructed the mother-in-law in charge of the kitchen, so that she could send Mrs. Tai and Hou Ye's lunch over at the right time.

The mother-in-law responded and sent Pei Shufen out of the kitchen.

Coming out of the kitchen, Pei Shufen didn't want to go back to the upper room of Zhonglan Courtyard, so she went directly to the warehouse next to her, so that someone could take a few rulers, and took two pieces of the best ginseng from her Langjing Cave and put them in a large box to prepare a generous gift.

Pei Shufen's eldest maid Tongyue saw it, and was a little puzzled, and quietly asked her: "Madame is going to Beppu as a guest?" ”

Pei Shufen nodded and said, "Take a post, let the outer courtyard prepare the car, I want to go out." ”

Tongyue hurriedly went to pass the word, and went to Qin Lisheng, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, to ask for a copy of the post of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

Qin Lisheng hurriedly ordered someone to take one over and personally sent it to Tongyue.

Tong Yue looked at the post and greeted Qin Lisheng with a smile: "I heard that Qin Da Steward is married?" Why don't you tell us, everyone can get together and congratulate Qin Daste. ”

Qin Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "What did Miss Tongyue say?" I, Qin Lisheng, am alone and a slave, how can any girl look at me? - Please also ask Miss Kiritsu not to spread falsehoods, so as not to ruin the reputation of other girls. ”

Tong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, and asked, "Senior Steward Qin is not young, right?" Think it's because the heart is too high, and ordinary girls can't look down on it? Why don't I tell our lady and give Steward Qin a good family affair? ”

Qin Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Tong Yue looking at him with a smile on his face, a trace of blush flew out of his cheeks on his face, and he looked a little like Tong Lu, so he couldn't help but look at it.

Seeing Qin Lisheng looking at him in a daze, Tongyue's heart became even sweeter, and she coughed lightly, and said, "Qin Da is in charge of life, take care, I'll go first." With that, he turned and walked away.

Qin Lisheng came back to his senses, knowing that Tongyue had misunderstood, and his heart was in a hurry, so he hurriedly thought about countermeasures and didn't mention it.

Pei Shufen sat in the side compartment of Zhonglan Courtyard and waited for a long time before Tong Yue was late, and couldn't help frowning and asked her, "You gave birth to a child?" - It took so much effort to get a post. ”

Kiritsuki's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and touched the corners of her clothes without speaking.

Pei Shufen saw Tongyue's appearance, as if she was thinking of spring, and her heart sank. - Don't want to climb Hou Ye's bed again, she's had enough......

"Is the car in the outer courtyard ready?" Pei Shufen asked, pretending not to see Kirii.

Tongyue nodded, and her voice was like a mosquito: "...... Well, the man from the carriage and horse house in the outer courtyard said that he would be able to leave soon. ”

Pei Shufen got up and walked out, and instructed Tong Yue: "Let people hold gifts, be careful, don't scatter them." — You go with me. "Originally, I wanted to take Tongyun out, but now that I see Tongyue's appearance, Pei Shufen doesn't want to see the second Tongxing, of course she can't be left alone.

Tong Yue responded, asked someone to bring the gift, followed Pei Shufen out of the second gate, and went to the outer courtyard to take a car.

The big car of the Marquis of Ningyuan turned around the corner, and Pei Shufen instructed the coachman: "Go to Shoufu Zhao Zhiqing's house." ”

Tongyue was very surprised and asked Pei Shufen: "Madame, aren't you going to patrol the shop?" ”

Pei Shufen said with a smile: "Let's go see my second sister first, and then it's not too late to patrol the shop." ”

Tongyue was busy flattering Pei Shufen: "Madame's maiden eldest brother is about to be the first assistant, and the second sister is the son of the current first assistant." With such a big backer, except for the princess, no one is more powerful than Mrs. ”

Pei Shufen smiled, and simply asked Tongyue without going around in circles: "······ What's wrong with you? Who do you have a crush on? Tell me and see if I can call the shots for you? ”

Tongyue didn't expect Pei Shufen to be so easy to speak, so she quickly knelt down for Pei Shufen in the carriage and begged: "If Madame sees that Tongyue has served well over the years, I hope that Madame will help Tongyue point out a good family business." ”

Pei Shufen was stunned. - Didn't you fall in love with Master Hou?

"You mean, you want to get married?" Pei Shufen was a little surprised. Marrying is not a house, these are two different things.

Tong Yue nodded shyly and looked at Pei Shufen, her eyes were as beautiful as two springs.

Pei Shufen's heart was light, she helped her up with a smile, and asked her who she had a crush on.

Tong Yue replied shyly: "He is good and capable, but he is angry." - I hope that Mrs. will help you to make it happen. ”

When Pei Shufen heard this, he sighed, and said with some interest: "Tell me quickly, who is it?" If the person you fancy is too high, there's nothing I can do. ”

Kiritsu hurriedly said: "No! No! - That is, that is, the chief steward of the outer court...... The Great Steward of Qin. "His face was already red.

When Pei Shufen heard that it was the chief steward of Qin, her eyes rolled, and she was already overjoyed, grabbed Tongyue's hand, and asked in a continuous voice, "Have you really thought about it?" Want to marry the Great Steward of Qin? ”

Tong Yue nodded, and said a little shyly: "The slave asked him today, and he said that he has not yet decided to marry, nor has he married." He was a little worried: "Qin Da is a good steward and has the ability, and I don't know if I look down on slaves and maids." ”

Pei Shufen patted Tong Yue's hand nonchalantly and slapped the package ticket: "Don't worry." If you have a lady, I will call the shots for you, and you will wait to be the bride of Qin's steward. Tongyue's heart was full of joy, and she flattered Pei Shufen more and more.

The two talked and laughed in the car, and soon arrived at the door of Shoufu Zhao Zhiqing's house.

Pei Shufen ordered someone to send a worship sticker, saying that he was waiting outside the door.

Pei Shufen's second sister Pei Shulan was talking to her mother-in-law at home, and heard someone coming and going outside, saying that her mother's sister came to visit, thinking that the third sister Pei Shufang had come over, and said to her mother-in-law Mrs. Su with a smile: "My third sister went to the foreign ocean, saying that it would take two or three years to come back." Why did you come back now? As he spoke, he looked down at the poster, but it was written "Ningyuan Marquis Mansion".

Pei Shulan was a little embarrassed, and said curtly: "It's the daughter-in-law who made a mistake." It's not my third sister, it's my fourth sister. ”

Mrs. Su was born extremely beautiful, and she was humble and generous, she was originally an aunt in the second room, and later she was corrected, but in front of Pei Shulan, she never put her mother-in-law on the shelf. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along like their biological mother and daughter, and they are very harmonious.

"Third sister, fourth sister, aren't they all your sisters? What is there to be ashamed of? Go quickly, you sisters haven't seen each other for many years, so you can be close. Mrs. Su smiled and asked Pei Shulan to go out to meet the guests.

Pei Shulan was blessed, and took her maid and son-in-law to leave Mrs. Su's upper room and go back to her yard. All the way, all the way. The fourth sister has never been to her husband's house. In the past, when the sisters went back to their parents' house, they could still get together and talk, but later the fourth sister rarely even went back to her parents' house. The third sister didn't know why, she cut off contact with the fourth sister, and she was originally closer to the third sister, so she naturally alienated the fourth sister. But now that the fourth sister took the initiative to come to the door, she couldn't avoid it.

"Is she alone, or is Marquis Ning Yuan here too?" Pei Shulan looked at the sticker in her hand over and over again.

The mother-in-law who replied hurriedly said: "Only Mrs. Ning Yuanhou is alone, waiting in the car outside." ”

Pei Shulan sighed, put the sticker on the table, and said, "Let someone lead them in." ”

The maid beside Pei Shulan hurriedly went out to spread the word.

After a while, Pei Shufen followed the big girl beside Pei Shulan in.

The sisters had seen each other, Pei Shufen gave gifts again, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then sat down with the guests and hosts.

Pei Shulan looked at Pei Shufen carefully, and saw that she was now eighteen years old, her body was grown, and her body was bewitching, but there was a sad look on her face that lingered, thinking that filling in the house was not very smooth?

"I haven't seen her for a few years, and the second sister's face has not changed, and she is better than before. - Why don't you tell your sister about how the second sister is maintained? Pei Shufen looked at Pei Shulan's appearance, half flattering, half sincere and asked.

Pei Shulan stroked her face and said with a smile: "It's the mother of three children, what else do you say about maintenance?" It's really laughing off other people's big teeth. He beckoned Pei Shufen again: "Sit." We have a bowl of good almond tea face here? ”

Pei Shufen got angry when she heard the almond tea, and hurriedly said: "No need, just clear tea." ”

Pei Shulan sent someone to serve tea.

The two sat opposite each other and drank tea, and after gossiping again, Pei Shulan asked, "Are you in trouble?"

Pei Shufen smiled reluctantly and said, "Is it so obvious? ”

Pei Shulan asked the people who were waiting to go down, leaving the two sisters in the compartment and asking her, "If you have something to say, just say it." We are sisters, and it would be too much to beat around the bush. ”

Pei Shufen hadn't heard such heart-wrenching words for a while, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up, knelt in front of Pei Shulan, and cried: "Second sister, if you don't help me this time, I will die!" ”

Pei Shulan was shocked, quickly got up and pulled Pei Shufen up, and said angrily: "Bah, bah, the child is open-mouthed, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Pei Shufen covered her face with a handkerchief, sobbed and said, "Second sister, my life is so bitter!" I'm not like you, I can be the original match, the main room can only be filled. Now, I can't even fill the house......"

Pei Shulan sighed and pulled Pei Shufen to sit on the chair together, and persuaded her: "We all persuaded you back then, but you just didn't listen." ”

Pei Shufen blushed and said, "I was young at that time, and I didn't know how important it was. There is also the queen's decree, which has to be followed. ”

Pei Shulan also knew that Pei Shufen's marriage to the stepfamily of Marquis Ning Yuan was the special purpose of the queen's mother, and it was not entirely her fault, so she comforted her and said: "I have also heard of your grievances over the years. But as for women, it's almost the same to marry anyone, and the most important thing is to wait until you have a child. When the time comes, men will be unreliable, and there will be children. ”

Pei Shufen was even more sad, hugging Pei Shulan and crying.

When Pei Shufen finished crying, Pei Shulan ordered someone to bring a basin over and re-wash Pei Shufen.

"Do you feel comfortable now?" Pei Shulan smiled and inserted a little emerald silver hairpin into Pei Shufen's recombed bun.

Pei Shufen smiled reluctantly, and finally said what he meant, and begged: "Second sister, I have never asked the second sister for anything." I took the liberty to come here today, just hoping that the second sister can help me once, and beg your father-in-law to raise his noble hand and not support the second concubine of the Dingnan Hou Mansion as the successor. As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Pei Shulan again: "Second sister, please!" Please! ”

Pei Shulan stopped Pei Shufen with a look of embarrassment and said, "This is not something I can call the shots. First, my father-in-law is above the court, and his position is below one person and above ten thousand people, and it is not something that others can control at all. Second," Pei Shulan paused, a little puzzled: "What does the concubine of the Dingnan Hou Mansion have to do with you as the successor?" Has this girl offended you? ”

Pei Shufen gritted her teeth and said, "Since the second sister asked today, I am also not afraid of being ugly, so I will tell the second sister the truth." - Our Hou Ye has a concubine Aunt Qi, who is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dingnan. Now the second girl of Qi is the cousin of Aunt Qi's sister-in-law and the daughter of her second uncle. If the concubine of the Dingnan Hou Mansion is the successor, our wife said, she will ...... I want to straighten out Aunt Qi and demote me to a concubine......" After finishing speaking, he cried again.

Pei Shulan was taken aback, stood up angrily, walked back and forth in the room, and said angrily: "Our Pei family is a three-hundred-year-old scholarly family, how dare they insult our Pei family like this?!" - Don't worry, I'll take you back to your parents' house now, looking for your father and eldest brother to call the shots. He persuaded Pei Shufen again: "The Pei family is your mother's family in the end, how can you be separated from your mother's family?" ”

Pei Shufen was ashamed. She had never thought about the use of her mother's family before, and always felt that as long as she coaxed her husband and mother-in-law, she would be able to do no disadvantage.

What is my mother's house? It's just a stepping stone to please your in-laws.

"Second sister, my father and eldest brother are angry with me......" Pei Shufen said timidly.

Pei Shulan hurriedly said: "As long as you sincerely repent, they will definitely give you a chance." "What's more, it's one thing for the Pei family to dislike Pei Shufen, but if outsiders want to step on Pei Shufen, it is the face of the Pei family, which cannot be trampled on by others.

While the two were talking, a maid came outside to report, and Mrs. Daosu personally sent two plates of snacks.

Pei Shulan hurriedly got up and said, "Ouch, I was negligent, I should take you to my mother-in-law to say hello first." ”

Mrs. Su happened to walk in from the open curtain, and said with a smile: "No, no." Come, I asked the kitchen to imitate the dim sum made inside, and made a lotus leaf cake and a glutinous rice pumpkin cake. - Taste it and see if it suits your appetite. ”

Pei Shufen hurriedly stood up, saluted with Pei Shulan, and looked at Mrs. Su carefully, seeing that she was in her forties, she couldn't see any wrinkles on her face, her complexion was delicate and fair, and her color was natural. When he spoke, his eyes flowed, and he smiled before he spoke, not as good as an ordinary woman, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

When Mrs. Su left, Pei Shufen sighed and said, "Your mother-in-law is really lucky." "Although she is a concubine, she can be corrected. Although she is a wife, she is in danger of being demoted to a concubine. Who the hell are you recruiting and provoking whom?!

Pei Shulan hurriedly said: "Everyone has their own fate, and they can't ask for it." He asked Pei Shufen again if he wanted to go back to Pei's house now.

Pei Shufen was suffocated, and begged Pei Shulan with a shy face: "Second sister, you still beg Lord Shoufu first, okay?" If Lord Shoufu doesn't allow it, shall we go back to the Pei family? - Even if it's for my face. ”
