Chapter 40: Old Madam Pei's Anger
The eldest aunt sitting at the bottom opened her mouth and agreed: "Yes, I see that this girl has also lost a lot of weight, and her face doesn't look very good." ”
Mrs. Shen snorted angrily, "There is a fox embryo at home, how good can it be?" ”
Pei's eyes turned red instantly, he hung his head and stopped talking, looking like he had been wronged and forced not to speak.
The fourth aunt was surprised: "Isn't that Yu Youwei?" ”
The second aunt gestured at her hand on the table, "You chaotic brain, Yu Youwei has already entered the Taoist temple, where did the doppelganger go to Yangzhou again." ”
The fourth aunt nodded clearly, and said with a sneer: "This Li Yi is really good, just sent one away, and immediately brought back another one." ”
Mrs. Shen's anger didn't come to one place, "I brought it today, I have been looking at that belly for three or four months!" She peeked at Old Madam Pei and continued: "How will my hard-working daughter live in the future!" ”
"Yo! This hook-up person's ability is really not small. The fourth aunt turned her head to look at Pei Shi beside Mrs. Pei and said, "Sister-in-law, your fourth aunt must be angry for you today." ”
Old Madam Pei looked at Pei's aggrieved face, threw her crutches towards the ground, and said angrily: "Have you said enough!" ”
Everyone in the room immediately fell silent and did not dare to speak again.
The eldest aunt rose from her seat and winked at her sisters. He walked to Mrs. Pei's side, and stroked her back with his hand to smooth her, "Don't be angry, let the juniors handle the juniors' affairs by themselves." ”
Old Madam Pei looked up at her eldest daughter, sighed heavily, held her hand on her shoulder and said, "It's better for you to be sensible and let me worry." She turned her head and glared at the daughters below, "Do you still have any measure!" If something happens to someone in Pei's Mansion and people spread it, do you want to let the Pei family face it?! ”
After speaking, she couldn't stop coughing because she was so emotional when she spoke. The eldest aunt was busy stroking her back to ease her, and the daughters below were also concerned.
The eldest aunt saw that Mrs. Pei's cough was getting lighter, so she lowered her hand with confidence. "My good sisters, if you really teach that woman a lesson, how will you let your daughter-in-law live in the Li Mansion in the future. If this matter spreads, not only will you not be able to be a person in your husband's family, but the entire Pei Mansion will also be followed by people poking their backbones. ”
Mrs. Shen frowned and looked at Mrs. Pei, and said with a grin: "Ancestor, I saw my daughter emaciated like this, how could this mother's heart not hurt?" ”
Old Madam Pei lowered her head and touched Pei's bun, and said with a kind face: "Sister-in-law, the ancestor will definitely make decisions for you, and you must not let the family be bullied in vain." ”
What Mrs. Shen wants is Mrs. Pei's words, although she is the daughter of the Pei family, but now she is married to her husband's family, and Yangzhou is not in the sphere of influence of her husband's family. If you want to shelter your daughter, you can only rely on the Pei family, which has deep roots.
Pei Shi raised his head and looked at Mrs. Pei and several aunts with red eyes. "Sister-in-law has bothered the ancestor and a few aunts."
"Silly boy." Mrs. Pei said as she patted Pei's shoulder.
At this time, a servant came in and reported: "The old lady and lady are ready for the banquet, and the master asked me to invite you to take a seat." ”
Mrs. Pei answered, stood up with the support of her aunt, and said to her daughters on crutches, "Let's go." She turned her head and grabbed Pei's hand, "Sister-in-law, help the old ancestor to enter." ”
Pei Shihui held Mrs. Pei's hand and responded obediently: "Yes." ”
Several daughters also walked out with Mrs. Pei on the left and right.
Xiao Junzhen sat behind Li Yi, and from a distance, she saw a group of richly dressed people surrounding an old man walking towards this side. When the pedestrian approached, everyone present stood up to greet him, and Xiao Junzhen naturally followed suit.
Everyone shouted in unison: "Old Ancestor! ”
Old Madam Pei looked around with a smile on her face, "It's all here!" ”
Xiao Junzhen looked at the old lady Pei, who was in a state of old age, although she saw that she was already unable to move, but the majesty exuded from her body made her feel shocked. She especially noticed that Old Madam Pei's gaze paused slightly when she swept to her, and naturally understood in her heart that Pei must have said something in front of her.
After Pei helped Mrs. Pei to take a seat, she turned around and walked to Li Yi and sat down.
Xiao Junzhen deliberately glanced at her face, and saw that her Yin Tang was black, her eyes were blank, and her lips were cracked, so she withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.
Halfway through the banquet, Pei Cheng got up and walked to the middle, and bowed respectfully to Master Pei and Mrs. Pei who were seated. "Father, ancestor, and grandson specially prepared singing and dancing today."
Master Pei looked at Pei Cheng below with satisfaction, he was very important to this son. If it weren't for his mother's many opinions about him because of his background, he would have handed over part of the Pei family's affairs to him.
He turned his head to look at Mrs. Pei beside him and said, "Cheng'er has a filial piety, I don't know what the ancestor wants?" ”
Although Mrs. Pei didn't like this grandson, her son had already spoken, and it was not easy to sweep his face in public, so she had to nod her acquiescing.
Seeing that Mrs. Pei agreed, Master Pei said to Pei Cheng with a happy face: "Go and prepare well, don't let the ancestor down!" ”
Pei Cheng was also overjoyed, he must behave well today. He arched his hand and said, "Yes!" The grandson must live up to the expectations of his father and ancestors. ”
Xiao Junyu looked at Pei Cheng who was standing in the middle, her fingernails sliding on the cup. This is Cui'er's Pei Cheng, who also has a very poor vision and is unladylike.
She had heard people talk about how after sending the dying Cui'er to Pei's Mansion that day, it didn't take long for the Pei family to carry her to the mass grave. Now I am afraid that it has been taken away by the hungry wolf, and even the corpse cannot be found.
Pei Cheng went down and gave instructions, walked back to his seat, and said to Master Pei and Mrs. Pei who were sitting on the seat: "Father, Ancestor, everything is ready" He turned to the guests sitting below and said, "Please enjoy it." ”
As soon as he sat down, the melodious music sounded, and two columns of dancing girls in red gauze skirts floated into the middle of the hall like fairies in the sky, raising their sleeves and dancing. The petals are hidden in the sleeves of the dancers, and as they dance, the petals are sprinkled one after another, which is very beautiful. A refreshing fragrance of flowers reached the tip of each guest's nose, and everyone couldn't help but be immersed in the dance.
Suddenly, all the dancers gathered in the center and gathered in an orderly group. They flicked their sleeves into the air, and the remaining petals were tossed into the air. While the petals are scattered downward, they collectively bend their soft waists backwards, like peonies blooming in spring.
In the rain, among the red-clothed dancing girls stood a white-clothed masked woman like a fairy, appearing like a hollow valley orchid, which surprised everyone.
They were discussing each other how this woman could appear out of thin air like this, and even the old lady Pei, who was accustomed to seeing wind and rain, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.
Pei Cheng sat down and watched the reactions of everyone and Old Madam Pei with satisfaction, he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and looked at the woman in white with a smile.
Xiao Junzhen looked at the woman in the center, and then looked at Pei Shi who was sitting in front of her. Suddenly, she found that Pei's body was trembling constantly, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
