Chapter 54
Mrs. Tai's words reminded Chu Huajin, and he thought of Pei Shufen, the fourth lady of the Pei family, and said busily: "I have something to tell my mother." Shu Fan is gone, the family is in a mess, and no one in charge will not succeed. ”
When Mrs. Tai heard this, she frowned, sat down on the mahogany armchair beside her, and said, "You don't think about it, you are going to continue the strings soon, right?" "It stands to reason that when the original wife dies, the husband should serve a year of filial piety.
Chu Huajin blushed a little, but remembered that Pei Shufen was young and a concubine. Now for his own sake, he has offended his mother-in-law, and he doesn't know what kind of crime he will suffer. It is not very appropriate for me to mention family affairs at this time, but firstly, the Pei family has already had this intention, and secondly, the two children are indeed young. If their own aunt is watching, they can rest assured. ——Since Pei Shufan passed away, Chu Huajin found out that there were really a few restless people in his concubine's room.
The two were discussing in the house, and outside they listened to the letter sent by Aunt Qi from the Chunjia Courtyard, and they didn't dare to be self-conscious, so they hurriedly said inside: "Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, Aunt Qi asked someone to come over to report the news, saying that it was Aunt Tongxue's business." ”
"What's wrong with her?" Chu Huajin also frowned. For the first time, he felt that he did have too many women. Every day, the east of the light and the west are not clear.
Mrs. Tai knew that Tong Xue was pregnant, and she was kicked by Chu Huajin last night, and she didn't know what happened. Then he hurriedly said, "Let people in." ”
Hugging the qin and opening the curtain, a mother-in-law in Aunt Qi's courtyard came in with a sad face, and knelt down for Mrs. Tai and Chu Hua when she entered the door, and replied: "If Mrs. Hui and Master Hou, Aunt Tongxue has been red since she went back yesterday." Aunt Qi asked people to find a doctor to come over, but she only saved the adults and children, but not ......"
Mrs. Tai's face changed slightly, and she said, "If I'm not mistaken, Tongxue has been five months old. ”
The woman hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Mrs. Tai is right. Aunt Tongxue is indeed five months pregnant, and the one who fell off is a brother......"
Chu Hua stood in front of the window with his hands up, looked at the plain white sky outside the window, and said lightly: "If it falls, it will fall, let her live well." ”
In the past, when Pei Shufan was there, he took care of his inner courtyard properly, and there was never such a mess in front of him. Now that I think about it, Pei Shufan still did his best for this family.
And Tong Ye and Tong Xue were originally Pei Shufan's wedding maids, and since they made a room for Chu Huajin, all their hearts have been on their uncle, but they have been making a loop on their young lady everywhere, obviously betraying the master. He has a lot of women, this kind of slut who eats inside and out, it's annoying to look at it more.
The mother-in-law kneeling on the ground saw that Hou Ye was indifferent to Tongxue's affairs, and her heart relaxed a lot, so she got up and said, "Since Hou Ye said so, the slave maid will bring the words to Aunt Tongxue." Aunt Tongxue wants to see Hou Ye now, is Hou Ye ......? ”
Chu Hua waved his hand and scolded: "Get out and get out!" It's not enough for so many maids to serve her, so what should I do? - No bad luck! ”
The mother-in-law saw that the Hou Ye was angry and hurriedly went out.
"It's just some sluts who can't be on the stage, and now they don't know who they are. You have to drag me to everything, and you don't look in the mirror?! The mother-in-law has gone away, and Chu Huajin is still complaining.
Mrs. Tai smiled, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said, "Don't talk about them." Who do you want to marry as a continuation? - Now propose, courtesy, and hiring. It's still too late to get married a year later. ”
Chu Hua thought of the bright and fresh little girl, a smile appeared on her angry face just now, and she turned to Mrs. Tai and said, "The fourth lady of the Pei family, Pei Shufen, Shu Fan's sister-in-law." ”
Mrs. Tai held the teacup in both hands, paused, glanced at her son, and saw that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were stretched, so she muttered: "She is the youngest, and there are two sisters above." If she is decided, she will have to wait for two years, and then she will talk about it later. ”
Chu Hua hurriedly walked over, sat down beside Mrs. Tai, and said in a low voice: "So my son wants to ask his mother to go to Pei's house to propose marriage, and it is best to get married within 100 days." ”
Mrs. Tai was taken aback, looked up at her son next to her, and asked sharply, "What do you mean by this?" But you ...... with her" for fear that your son and sister-in-law will have a head and end, which is a big scandal."
Chu Huajin saw that Mrs. Tai had misunderstood, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Where did my mother go?" I'm just thinking about my two children. As he spoke, he briefly mentioned to Mrs. Tai that Pei Shufan had told him before his death that he would send the two children back to his parents' house to raise them.
Mrs. Tai was really a little angry, and remembered that the king of Anjun came to announce the decree during the day, and she was secretly afraid that they would neglect the two children left by Pei Shufan, and said that the saint intended to send the children back to the Pei family to be raised! - Isn't this a slap in the face of the queen mother!
The child born to Pei Shufan is, of course, the seed of their Chu family's Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, when will it be the turn of the Pei family, a foreigner, to make irresponsible remarks?!
"You don't have to worry, I will personally go to Pei's house tomorrow and propose marriage to you. That Pei Shufen is just a concubine, and she can be the wife of Ning Yuanhou's main room, but she has climbed high. Mrs. Tai said with a sinking face.
Chu Hua bowed his head and said, "That's right. But my mother will go tomorrow, remember to speak softly. - The people of the Pei family all eat soft rather than hard. ”
Mrs. Tai smiled: "I still use you to teach?!" He was a little melancholy, and said: "Back then, your father was bent on marrying the Pei family, and I was still angry with him, who knew that it should be today." ”
Chu Hua thought of his father's calculations and fate back then, and his heart was as uncomfortable as a stone, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said to Mrs. Tai: "When we proposed to Shu Fan back then, our dowry was 10,000 taels of silver, plus 60 pieces of jewelry, silk and field products. Now Shu Fen is filling the house, 5,000 taels of silver, plus 30 pieces of jewelry and satin clothing, it should be enough, right? ”
Speaking of marriage matters, Mrs. Tai is the most proficient, looking at Pei Shufan's Huanghuali wood furniture that accompanied her back then, she said nonchalantly: "Two thousand taels of silver, plus ten loads of silk and satin clothing are enough." - She is a concubine, and she is filling the house, we give too much, as if we are rushing to their Pei family. It also makes people say that we forgot about your daughter-in-law so quickly, and made her mother, Mrs. Xia, uncomfortable. ”
Chu Hua was not accustomed to these mundane affairs, got up and put on a big hat, nodded and said, "My mother is well-informed, so it is naturally appropriate." Mother, just watch it. I went to the front to entertain the guests. With that, he went to the outer courtyard.
Tong Ye was doing needlework in her room, and when she heard her little maid secretly tell her that Hou Ye was going to marry the fourth lady of the Pei family to fill the house, she couldn't help but sigh slightly. Madame has been strong for a lifetime, and she is also respectful to Hou Ye, but within two days of leaving, Hou Ye was anxious to marry a newcomer.
Looking at the lamps on the table, Tong Ye was stunned for a long time, and began to regret that he had made a room for Hou Ye back then. Look at Tongxue's today, it is your own tomorrow. As for Tonglu, she has been taken care of by her wife, and it will probably not be long before she will go out to be the grandmother of the main house.
Thinking of this, Tong Ye's heart was even more chaotic.
Madame's spirit stopped in Huifang Pavilion, because it was winter, Madame's two children were carried by Tonglu, Jiang's mother and Hong's mother, and they were guarded in Huifang Pavilion.
Hou Ye's two older concubines also knelt there.
There are also Aunt Qi, Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui, who were cleaned up by the Pei family's uncle and grandmother, and now they are also obediently kneeling in the Huifang Pavilion to burn paper.
Aunt Fang is a well-behaved person, and she has been guarding the mourning hall without being ordered. Before her wife's death, she won the favor of her wife, and she also let Hou Ye take a look at her.
"Tong Ye, Master Hou said that he would not return to the main courtyard at night, so he rested in Aunt Fang's courtyard." The mother-in-law outside came to pass the word.
Tong Ye responded upset, packed up the needle and thread in his hand, went to the Chunjia Courtyard to see Tong Xue, who had just lost a child, comforted her for a while, and served her for a rest before returning to his own yard.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Tai asked Tong Ye to come over, inquired carefully about the situation of the Pei family, and took her with her to the Pei family to propose to Chu Hua.

Thanks to Ge Zi for the tip.
Tomorrow it is said to be V. Start a double shift. The first will be earlier. The second is eight o'clock in the evening. After that, it will be eight o'clock in the morning and evening. You can watch it when you get up in the morning. Then cheekily begged for everyone's guaranteed pink ticket. It's really important to me. Although I have finished writing a book, I am still a newcomer at heart. o(╯□╰)o
