In the past few years, Pei Zhiyang has studied hard behind closed doors.

The warblers in his room have long been dismissed.

In the past, the group of wine and meat friends came to Pei's Mansion to find him several times and invited him to drink flower wine in the Qinglou, but he rejected them one by one.

The only one who will come to see him is Shen Fu.

Shen Fu was often absent from the capital, but every time he returned to Beijing, he came to see him first, and brought out the letter he wrote to Hong Aya and handed it to her.

"Do you treat me like a carrier pigeon?"

The last time Shen Fu yelled at Pei Zhiyang, Pei Zhiyang coaxed him good-naturedly and said, wouldn't it be better to change to the allusion of the fish ruler element?

Shen Fu said angrily: "Bullshit's 'fish ruler', she still has to cut my stomach open?" ”

scolded and scolded, he still ran at both ends and passed on letters for the two of them for three years.

Although Mrs. Pei knew, she didn't stop her.

Pei Zhiyang thought that on the day he was admitted to the Jinshi, his parents would definitely let him marry Hong Aya as promised.

But in the face of his request, Pei Shangshu hesitated and refused to express his position.

Mrs. Pei only said that now that he is famous, his marriage cannot be sloppy, so as not to hinder his career and regret it for life.

"Mother, I don't care about any career, I just want to marry Aya in a dignified manner."

He has been thinking about the daughter of the merchant in the past few years.

Mrs. Pei frowned and said, "If you really like her, when Miss Ning passes through the door, you can accept her as a decent aunt." ”

Hong Aya's background and cultivation can't get into Mrs. Pei's eyes at all.

At most, she can only keep Pei Zhiyang as a plaything in the backyard.

Even so, Mrs. Pei was worried that she was wild and untamable, and when she stretched out her claws and hurt her precious son.

If Hong Aya is allowed to attend any important occasion as the main room, then Pei Fu will no longer be able to raise his head in the circle of nobles in the capital.

Mrs. Pei's face turned blue, and she felt more and more that it was wrong for Hong Aya to even stand and sit, or even to take a breath.

Her biggest concession was to let Hong Aya be Pei Zhiyang's concubine.

Pei Zhiyang didn't take her concession seriously at all.

"Mother, didn't we say that as long as I am admitted to the Jinshi, we will reconsider my marriage with Miss Ning?"

Mrs. Pei said: "Yes, we have thought about it for you, and the Ning family is a good match." ”

Pei Zhiyang was very disappointed, and asked: "In addition to my family background, in addition to not being satisfied with this marriage, where else do I match her?" ”

"Isn't Ning Yanyan going to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake?"

He laughed and said, "I also stabbed myself in the stomach, mother, have you forgotten?" ”

If he hadn't forced him with his life back then, Mrs. Pei would have expelled Hong Aya from the capital.

But to this day, Hong Aya's existence has made Mrs. Pei intolerable.

"Zhiyang," she said meaningfully, "if you kill yourself, I will send your Miss Hong to be your companion on the Yellow Springs Road." ”

She has a way to make Hong Aya disappear silently.

Looking at his mother's cold smile, Pei Zhiyang was stunned for a moment, as if he had never known her.

His mother was gentle and considerate in front of him, but now she has become a person.

Although Mrs. Pei still had a decent smile on her face, what she said was barbed, which made Pei Zhiyang's heart, liver, spleen and lungs bloody.

"Everything you have today is given to you by Pei Fu."

"Out of the gate of Pei's Mansion, what do you think is the difference between you and others, how do you protect your Miss Hong?"

In an extremely unfamiliar tone, Shi Shiran smiled and said, "The reason why she is still alive is because the Pei family has allowed her to live for the time being." ”

Pei Zhiyang gritted his teeth and clenched his hands into fists.

But he still couldn't restrain the tremors in his body.

Mrs. Pei raised her wrist and patted him softly on the cheek like a child.

"Son, how long she can stay in the capital and how long she will live is up to you."

"Mother?"

"If you don't see her, she can open her inn in peace, and in a few years, she may be able to marry and have children, and live a stable life."

"If you go to see her, she will be sold to a kiln in the countryside tomorrow, you just have to go from kiln to kiln, and go to her."

As she said this, Mrs. Pei lovingly brushed up a strand of hair that fell to his ear.

Pei Zhiyang only felt that he seemed to have been licked by the red letter of the poisonous snake.

"Remember my mother's words, you can do it yourself."

In the past few days, Yan Yingzhou went to the prison of the Criminal Department to take office, and Ruan Si took Nan Nan to live in the inn.

Although Pei Zhiyang has never been here, they have not mentioned it, and Hong Aya has been happy all day long, as if she doesn't care at all.

Ruan Si originally wanted to ask Shen Fu about it, but Shen Fu was invited into the palace to paint a portrait of the concubine.

Soon, the apparently peaceful life was shattered by a post.

Ning Fu personally came to send a post to Ruan Si, saying that the eldest lady wanted to ask Grandma Yan to take the child to the house to enjoy the flowers.

Last time, Ning Yanyan committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, and he did enough drama in front of hundreds of people in the Ning family.

She is still Pei Zhiyang's nominal fiancée.

Pei Zhiyang, Hong Aya, and Ning Yanyan, this state of stalemate between the three of them made Ruan Si feel uncomfortable for outsiders.

For the sake of Hong Aya, Ruan Si decided to go to the appointment and go to Ning's house to meet this cousin for a while.

Ning Fu sent a carriage to pick her up, and she got into the carriage with a silver bottle in her arms.

The carriage drove steadily, and the girl fell asleep in a daze.

Yinhua'er took the child and asked with some concern: "Miss, I don't know what Ningfu is in mind right now, will it be ...... to bring the child over?"

"If you don't go this time, they will definitely use other means to threaten them next time."

Now, everyone saw them sit in the carriage of the Ning Mansion and enter the door of the Pingxi Hou Mansion as guests.

Even if Ning Fu had ulterior motives, he would not rashly force them to stay.

What Yan Yingzhou was going to do was extremely dangerous, and the Pingxi Hou Mansion knew their whereabouts well.

If she had been hiding behind Yan Yingzhou, they would have been passive all the time.

Ruan Si rubbed his eyebrows heavily and looked down at the child's sleeping face.

"After entering the Hou Mansion," Ruan Si said in a low voice, "you follow Nan Nan every step of the way, don't let her out of your sight." ”

The silver bottle nodded solemnly.

The carriage quickly drove into the north of the city and stopped at the back gate of the Pingxi Hou Mansion.

Ruan Si was led to the garden to meet Zhou.

The garden is full of flowers and lush vegetation, and Zhou and a few noble ladies are enjoying the flowers.

As soon as Zhou saw Ruan Si, he affectionately took her hand and led her to meet several other women.

The wife of the second room and the wife of the third room were also there, and Ruan Si Yili was called "second aunt" and "third aunt" respectively.

The rest of the people are all aunts and ladies from all rooms of Ning Mansion.

They were lukewarm to Ruan Si, only Zhou was very enthusiastic about her.

Ruan Si found that Ning Yanyan was not among them.

Zhou ordered someone to grab the fruit to give to the girl, and leaned over to tease the child in the arms of the silver bottle with a smile.

"Hey, this child Yuxue is cute, like a porcelain doll, I like it very much. Come, give my uncle and grandmother a hug. ”

She shrank back in fear, blinked her watery round eyes, and turned away from Zhou's hand.

The second lady looked at it coldly, and said with a smile: "It's strange, sister-in-law is the most kind, why doesn't this child recognize his aunt and grandmother?" ”

"I think it's because children are used to being restrained, and they can't be on the stage."

The third lady gathered her temples, covered her lips and smiled: "Some people say that children have poisonous eyes and can see through the hearts and livers of adults, but we don't believe it." ”
