After Pei Yuanqian left, Chen Yun and this sister-in-law also did their duty, and she sent someone to pick up Tao Tao's weekly holidays. Usually, if there is anything delicious, Chengyu will send it over, and from time to time she will invite her to eat with Chen's mother.

Tao Tao's prejudice against her gradually changed......

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tao Tao took a few days off, and Ming Chengyu sent him back to Pei's house, and Mrs. Pei sent a telegram earlier, saying that she missed her and asked her to go back and see.

Her good friend Meng Ruihua saved money on the ticket and didn't plan to go back. Tao Tao didn't want to leave her alone, so he invited her back to Pei's house together.

At first, she insisted on refusing, but she couldn't resist Tao Tao's repeated entanglement, so she came back with her.

Both Ming Chengyu personally sent each other, Peaches, and the old mother sent by Mrs. Pei before, plus Tao Tao and Meng Ruihua, such a group of people seemed to be mighty Yes.

Meng Ruihua took the car alone, and got on the car alone, including coming to Shanghai, how could there be so many people waiting for her, she also ridiculed Tao Tao for this, but which of the rich ladies in their college is not like this. Even if she despised such in her heart, what could she do? Her friend is such a person, she can't say it directly even if she doesn't disdain.

There were two cars that came to the dock to pick up Tao Tao, and she and Tao Tao sat in one car and went to Pei's house first.

I didn't think that as soon as she stepped into the door of the Pei family, she felt the antique atmosphere of the Pei family.

She didn't know Tao Tao's identity before, but after meeting Zhao Kangping, she thought that Tao Tao's family background would not be too bad.

But she didn't ask Tao Tao, every Saturday and Sunday on time there is a car to pick up, there is a car to send back, every time she comes back with a lot of delicious food, there is also her share, she gladly accepts, but never asks.

And this time, she took her back to Jianghuai's hometown for the first time. Accustomed to all kinds of foreign buildings in Shanghai, such a Chinese-style courtyard is not luxurious, but it shows a different heritage. It's no wonder that Tao Tao has the unique beauty of Miss Jiangnan.

It's all here, even if she reacts slowly, she should know Tao Tao's identity.

Jiangnan Pei family, how many can there be? No matter how stupid she is, she knows that the owner of the Commercial Press is surnamed Pei.

Walking further in, through the rockery pavilion corridor, to the main house, a beautiful woman standing under the corridor.

Tao Tao called out "mother...... before he got closer"

Mrs. Pei's tears almost fell, "Oops...... This girl has arrived. ”

The girl beside Mrs. Pei helped her down the steps, "Madame has been looking forward to it for a long time, the fifth lady can be regarded as coming back, if she doesn't come back, Madam, she is really looking forward to the autumn water." ”

Tao Tao trotted over, helped her, and said with a smile, "Isn't this coming back?" ”

Mrs. Pei looked her up and down, "Lost weight...... I have suffered a lot. ”

"No...... If you're too fat, you won't look good. Tao Tao hugged Mrs. Pei and sprinkled coquettishly.

"You...... There are always so many reasons. Mrs. Pei smiled and shook her head. looked up and saw Meng Ruihua standing aside.

"Look at you, how do you hang the guests aside."

"Oh......" Tao Tao let go of her and walked to Meng Ruihua's side, "Mother, her name is Meng Ruihua......"

Meng Ruihua was also busy greeting and called, "Madam." ”

Mrs. Pei approached her, took her hand and said, "It's a long way, I'm tired, let's go in quickly."

Meng Ruihua nodded, and Tao Tao took her hand and went in together.

As soon as Tao Tao and the others sat down, Mrs. Pei opened up to eat, and when the meal was served, Mrs. Pei was afraid that Meng Ruihua would be restrained, so she specially asked her mother-in-law to help with the dishes.

Meng Ruihua gradually relaxed......

"I heard that your Aunt Chen is sick, or your second sister-in-law will also come back together."

"Hmm...... The second sister-in-law said that it was an old problem, and I also went to see it, and the state was not bad, but the second sister-in-law was not scared. ”

"Hey...... People are getting old, and it is inevitable. ”

"By the way, mother, the second sister-in-law brought gifts for you and your father, and I'll let Peaches send them over when I go back."

"Good ......"

Mrs. Pei smiled and watched the two children bury their heads in eating, Tao Tao is much more mature than before, and now he can learn to get along with others. It wasn't like this before, and he was like a little tail behind Yuan Qian all day long.

Seeing that Meng Ruihua is also a simple child, she is very relieved.

"Is Tao Tao willful at school?"

Meng Ruihua put down the dishes and chopsticks, smiled and said, "Tao Tao is very well-behaved and can endure hardships." Although we are not in the same class, I heard that the classmates like her very much, and the school's art club is interested in inviting her to join. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Pei was very surprised when she heard this, as if she was talking about another person entirely.

"I still don't believe your second brother's letter, and I blame him for saying something nice, but now it seems to be the truth."

"Mother...... In your heart, how unbearable I am......"

Mrs. Pei snorted, "You ask Peaches ......?"

Momoko, who was standing and waiting, grinned and ......, "Do people grow?" ”

Tao Tao gave her a blank look, as if she was really unreasonable before.

After the two of them had eaten, Mrs. Pei asked them to rest, and she was afraid that Meng Ruihua would be uncomfortable, so she deliberately left space for the two of them, and she was greedy by her mother-in-law to check the account books.

Tao Tao took Ruihua and ran to her Xue Xuan together, and people said that the golden nest and silver nest were not as good as their own kennels. She didn't feel as comfortable as her Snow Fall.

Seeing that it had arrived, Tao Tao trotted a few steps and ran to the swing, she sat on it and shook it, and when she looked up, the locust tree in front of the courtyard was leafy...... It's been so long since she's been away from home.

"Come and sit down?" Tao Tao invited her.

Ruihua shook her head, she looked around at this courtyard, which was bigger than her home, you know, this is just a courtyard in Pei's mansion. It's not hard to imagine what kind of life she lived.

She found that the gap between her and Tao Tao was getting wider and wider...... It's not envy, it's just that the dishes on the Pei Mansion table today are better than what their family eats for the New Year. People are more popular than people, that's the truth.

Tao Tao pulled her into the house again, and Ruihua was attracted by several photos of the dresser, one was a family portrait of the Pei family, and the other was three men, she was clustered in the middle, like the stars holding the moon.

This will make her envious of Tao Tao, who is loved by her brothers, who is like her, a lonely and lonely person. Her father pressed his fate on her and did not allow the slightest mistake. From the moment she was admitted to Normal University, the burden of the Meng family was on her, and she couldn't retreat......

Tao Tao saw her staring at the photo frame in a daze, and pointed to the person in the album to introduce her, "The one in the military uniform is my eldest brother, the one wearing glasses is the third brother, and the one in the middle is my second brother." ”

"Your brothers are so handsome......"

"Really? I don't think it's good-looking, but the eldest brother is really outstanding, and the third brother is not bad. As for the second brother...... Forget it......"

Meng Ruihua saw her put the photo frame back in place, and couldn't help but take another look, the eldest brother is indeed heroic, but no matter how you look at it, she thinks that the second brother is the most handsome, and gentle and amiable. Listening to her meaning, it seems that the second brother is not satisfactory.

Ay...... If only she could have such a brother, she would be content. It is true that people do not know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings.

The two girls took a hot shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and then lay on the bed to look at the photos.

Tao Tao's own album album also has wedding photos of Yuan Qian and Yunhe.

Meng Ruihua couldn't help but sigh after seeing the wedding photos of the two: "It's really a talented woman." Your second sister-in-law is so beautiful......"

Tao Tao was silent, which was a tacit acquiescence. Turning back is a photo of Tao Tao and Yuan Qian, looking at the scenery is her snow Xuan, Tao Tao is sitting on the swing, Yuan Qian is standing behind her in a long robe, the smile on his face is very good-looking, and the smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Compared with the wedding photos, this one, he is the happiest one to laugh at.

If she didn't know that they were brother and sister, she really felt that these two were so compatible, just like the talented and beautiful women mentioned in the ancient books.

The beauty of Tao Tao is not the kind of outward, breathtaking beauty, but the kind of beauty that is not explicit and quiet. The beauty on her body complements Pei Yuanqian so well.

"This one is the best." Meng Ruihua pointed to a photo of the two and said to Tao Tao.

Tao Tao didn't say anything, and quickly flipped through the next one. This is a single photo of Yuan Qian, he is wearing a moon-white robe, and at that moment, Meng Ruihua's heart thought of the word "warm as jade." ”

After that, she didn't remember anyone, only remembered that person was dressed in white, and this figure was imprinted in her heart.

"These are all taken by the third brother when he was at home, at that time, he liked to pour things from foreigners, and specially invited people to come to the house to take pictures."

"Really...... That's nice. So they're not at home now? ”

"Hmm...... The eldest brother went to Nanjing, the third brother went to Germany to study, and the second brother was in Shanghai, but he also went abroad recently. Tao Tao rolled over and lay down.

"It's all good......"

"Hey...... Oh, yes...... Mother sometimes thought they would quietly wipe away tears. The eldest brother can occasionally see it, and the third brother will be out for three years. ”

Meng Ruihua saw her so sad, and couldn't help but change the topic, I saw a sketch just now, is that little girl you?

"That's it...... It's in Lushun. ”

Cherry Garden, before she came to Pei's house, when she had just experienced pain, Pei Gongqing took her and Pei Yuanqian to a friend's house in Japan as guests, and was inadvertently captured by the painter of that family, and I don't know how Yuanqian got it, anyway, he showed her like a treasure later, and said that he would definitely take her to Cherry Garden again in the future.

But after so many years, he has not been able to fulfill his promise.

Meng Ruihua didn't continue to ask, she also lay down and closed her eyes, but the shadow of the person lingered in front of her.

Tao Tao also fell asleep quickly, in the dream, the falling flowers were colorful, full of cherry blossoms, Pei Yuanqian held her hand, his shoulders were full of petals, and her hair was all over. He gently brushed her away, but there was a rain of petals in the sky, and there was an endless stream.

Looking at each other, he took her hand and gently cupped her cheek, and the warm flap of his lips imprinted on her lips......

On his lips is his taste, and there is also the smell of flowers, as if there is also the aroma of wine. She didn't remember drinking herself, but why was she drunk? It's good that when he's drunk, he's got nothing to worry about, and when he's drunk, he's going to come to her dreams, and there's no need to think about it......
