Mrs. Pei is considerate, and she tossed for a day yesterday. I specially inform each room that you don't need to come over and have breakfast together.

Tao Tao woke up early and came over to accompany Mrs. Pei, who was very relieved to see her.

"It's good to have a daughter...... I know that it hurts ...... mother."

"The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are both people who are used to living a Western-style life......"

"Well, so you're going to have breakfast with your mother?"

Tao Tao took the porridge handed over by the servant and carefully placed it in front of Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei sighed: "I don't feel at ease when you go to school, but now it seems that it is also a good thing, I know that I feel sorry for people, so it can be seen that I have grown up."

Tao Tao smiled, "I was really stubborn before......"

"Yo...... They are all self-aware...... "Yongqian and Yunyi walked in together.

"Mother......" The two people were almost in unison.

Mrs. Pei agreed and asked someone to move the stool for them. "It's not like to say okay, you don't have to come over, I have ordered you to send it to the room." She motioned for Yunyi to sit beside her.

"The youngest Tao Tao knows that she has come to eat with you, if we don't come, won't we be compared to her?" Yongqian squeezed his eyes at Tao Tao......

"When did Big Brother's mouth become so smooth?" Tao Tao was also comparable, and the two brothers and sisters scolded each other.

This big brother of hers usually has a serious face, but in fact, he is just a paper tiger, bluffing......

The other brother is as gentle as jade, always making people feel amiable, but he is a stuffy gourd, and he doesn't talk more than half a sentence. Whether he speculates or not, he has nothing to say.

From them, Tao Tao summed up a truth, don't be fooled by appearances.

"What about Yuan Qian and Yun He......" Yongqian checked for a week and didn't see the two of them.

"Second young master, and the second young grandmother drank too much yesterday...... I got up early and asked for a sobering soup in the second young master's room. The maid beside Mrs. Pei reminded her.

"Yo...... These two people are really ......" Yongqian smiled and said nothing, glancing at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi seemed to understand yes, and her face turned red. Tao Tao sat across from her, watching her every move.

She took a sip of the soup, but somehow choked. She coughed......

"What's wrong?" Yun Yi looked concerned.

"Ahem...... Cough...... cough ......" Tao Tao waved his hand, "It's okay...... I just choked on it accidentally. Momoko handed over a glass of water, and she took a sip to suppress it.

Mrs. Pei glanced at Yongqian, Yongqian lowered his head and said, "Come, eat, eat......"

The four of them had just eaten a few bites when Yuan Qian and Yunhe came in.

"Didn't you say you didn't have to come over? Why, okay? Mrs. Pei asked Yunhe.

Yunhe was embarrassed to get up, "I drank some wine last night as soon as I was happy, and I got up late this morning." As she spoke, she sat down next to Tao Tao.

Tao Tao smiled and called out, "Second sister-in-law...... Second brother ......"

"Go and get two more bowls of decanting soup from the kitchen...... Madame Pei instructed the servant.

Yongqian patted Yuan Qian's shoulder and smiled evilly. It's just that he drank too much, and the eldest brother looks like he's done something bad.

Yuan Qian looked at Tao Tao again, and Yun Yi, both of them lowered their heads to eat, without saying a word, even their mother only cared about drinking porridge, and he suddenly understood.

Looking at Tao Tao again, she looked calm and looked like she didn't care about herself...... He sighed inwardly.

Yunhe also felt that the atmosphere was wrong...... After all, it's because she's late, so she can only eat with her head bored, and she can't explain it, and this kind of thing seems to be more and more misunderstood. Besides, there doesn't seem to be a need to explain......

Last night, she and Pei Yuanqian drank all the bottles of red wine, he said that Zhiqian sent it back from Germany, a total of two bottles, one bottle was ruined by Tao Tao, and the other bottle he said would be given to her when Tao Tao got married.

She said that forget it, she couldn't let her and him spoil it, but Yuan Qian still opened the wine.

"She doesn't know," he said...... You can't bring a bottle of red wine to your mother-in-law's house, so let's celebrate it for her in advance. ”

She asked again, "What kind of home do you plan to find for Tao Tao in the future?" ”

He said he didn't know. He also said that since she came to the Pei family when she was six years old, he never thought about it. But Yongqian's marriage made him realize that she would also marry someone and give birth to a child one day.

At that moment, she read the reluctance on his face, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in her tone. She can understand, after all, she has long regarded her as a member of the Pei family, and of course she will be reluctant to see her sister get married......

She is very envious of Tao Tao and has the love of so many brothers. When she got married, wasn't her eldest brother the same...... Ay...... It's fate to think about it now......

She drank cup after glass, but he just looked at the color of the wine and savored it carefully, as if there were many stories.

Last night they had spoken the most since they had met.

He also told Tao Tao many interesting stories when she was a child, and she wondered if her brother and others had a doting expression on their faces when they mentioned her.

At that moment, she felt that Tao Tao was really happy......

Later, she seemed to have drunk too much, and somehow fell asleep, and woke up the next day in her own bed.

When she got up, Yuan Qian had already woken up, and was sitting on the sofa looking at the pocket watch in a daze.

He didn't even notice when she walked by. He always had that pocket watch with him, and Tao Tao seemed to have one on him.

"What do you think?" Yunhe approached and reminded him.

Yuan Qian closed the cover of the watch and put it away, but inadvertently, she saw that there seemed to be a photo in the pocket watch. He was so quick that she couldn't really see it, and she wasn't sure if she was wrong......

"Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, can I come back this year?" Mrs. Pei looked left and right, as if asking for their opinions.

"Hmm......" Yunyi nodded. Yunhe also said "um".

"In two days, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will return to Nanjing, why don't you go for a stroll?" Mrs. Pei asked Tao Tao, who was eating with his head down, and the child was talking less and less.

"No, Mother, I ...... I made an appointment with my friend ......"

"It's Zhao Kangping, right?" Yoon-ho smiled and pierced her.

"Second sister-in-law......"

"Is my mother going to prepare a dowry too?" Yun Yi also coaxed.

"Sister-in-law......" Tao Tao snorted, put down his chopsticks and was about to leave. was pulled by Yunhe.

"Still shy? We all saw ...... yesterday."

"If Mother Tao Tao doesn't want to go, she won't force her."

"Tao Tao is not going to our wedding?"

"Of course not...... To go...... It's just an appointment with ...... Went together. ”

"Oh......" Yun Yi realized it later, "and said it was okay......"

Mrs. Pei looked at Yuan Qian, and then at Tao Tao, thoughtful......

Because it was just in time for the Spring Festival, Yongqian and Yunyi's wedding in Nanjing was postponed to the New Year. During this period, Tao Tao promised to go to Harbin with Zhao Kangping. The two of them calculated the day and went to Nanjing together from there. Even the route has been planned, although it is a bit far, but being able to get along with Tao Tao alone, Zhao Kangping's heart is also beautiful.

On the day Yongqian and Yunyi left Jiangnan, Yunhe and Yuanqian also returned to Shanghai.

Tao Tao is on winter vacation, so when he has nothing to do, he accompanies Mrs. Pei to listen to the play and play cards. Mrs. Pei was afraid that she would be bored, so she took her out for a walk. She was also lazy to move, and during this period, the only time she had something to do was to reply to Zhao Kangping.

His letter came every once in a while, as if the days had been settled. Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so I just think it's a pastime.

Mrs. Pei was relieved to find that she was becoming more and more cheerful.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Pei Zhuoyun came back for the New Year. Mrs. Pei handed him a cup of tea, and seeing that his sideburns were dyed with wind and frost, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's a lot older, and the children are older, are you still fighting so hard?" Every time I see you come back, my heart is not a good taste......"

Pei Zhuoyun patted her hand, "Let you follow it for a lifetime...... Man...... Where is the time to be satisfied? Seeing that several children are dragons and phoenixes among people, how can they be pushed. ”

"Hey...... I don't understand your plans...... Anyway, in the end, this home is neat and tidy......"

"Don't worry......" Pei Zhuoyun reassured her. By the way, Yongqian and Yunyi may not come back for the Chinese New Year this year. ”

"What's wrong?"

"There's going to be a war."

"What?" Mrs. Pei was taken aback.

"Don't make a fuss, soldier, didn't you just come here in a hail of bullets. Chu Nanxiong has finally started a war, and he has been planning for a long time. ”

"Yongqian personally led the troops into battle?"

"It's a good thing for him......"

"But have you ever thought about it...... If so......"

"He'll be fine......" Pei Zhuoyun seemed to be sure, he believed in his son. But Mrs. Pei is still not at ease, she thought that she could have a reunion year, but now it seems that she has to spend it in worry......

Since Yunhe revealed his heart to Yuan Qian, Yuan Qian has indeed rarely troubled Yunhe, and even this New Year, he was considerate of Yunhe and did not let her come back together.

Yunhe was puzzled at first, afraid that Mrs. Pei would misunderstand, and worried that the family would not be able to explain, so Yuan Qian went to tell Mrs. Chen about it in person. I don't want Mrs. Chen to blame Yun Helai. So in the end, Yunhe accompanied Yuan Qian back to Jiangnan.

Yuan Qian felt sorry for her, but Yunhe didn't care, she was actually very moved in her heart, moved by his thoughtfulness, and moved that he still remembered her words. So this trip to Pei's house, she was happy in her heart, and she didn't feel awkward and disgusted as before.

Because of the war in the south, Mrs. Pei was listless all day long, and Tao Tao ordered people to dress up early in order to please her. The colorful flags hung by Yongqian and Yunyi when they got married were not removed, they were originally used for the New Year, and the province was disassembled back and forth, and Mrs. Pei ordered someone to keep it.

All that remains is to hang the lanterns, and the lanterns in each yard are arranged by the housekeeper.

The lantern in front of the main house, Tao Tao said that she would hang one herself. I also want Mrs. Pei to give some advice.

Mrs. Pei naturally knew that she was trying to please her, so she happily cooperated, she really couldn't collapse because she was worried about Yongqian, the huge family still had her to manage, and Yuan Qian and Yunhe were about to come back. She can't be sad.

So when Yuan Qian and Yun He entered the courtyard, they saw Tao Tao hanging a lantern in front of the main house, and Mrs. Pei stood aside to remind her to be careful.

"Tao Tao ...... How did you get that high? Yunhe shouted.

Tao Tao turned around and saw that Yunhe and Yuanqian were back, and happily showed them, "Second sister-in-law, how am I hanging up?" ”

"Good...... But be careful......" Yunhe reminded her.

"Got it......" Tao Tao responded happily.

At this time, Yuan Qian had already walked under the ladder, looked up at her, and did not dare to come out, for fear that she would have an accident......
