Mrs. Peng Luo Chuanbei is the eldest daughter of Luo Juniper, the second master of the Luo family, a few years ago, she sent her sons Peng Shi and Peng gradually to Yangzhou to study, and there were some small frictions with Luo Dong Mansion. The reason is that the mother of the housekeeper at that time, Sun, wanted to marry her daughter to the son of the Peng family, but Mrs. Peng, who had a high sense of heart and vision, couldn't look down on these daughters in Yangzhou at all, so she refused the proposal to be a kiss at that time.

He Angelica has never seen this Mrs. Peng, and has only heard people comment that among these aunts and wives of the Sichuan generation, Luo Chuanbei is the most top-notch one. It must have been a graceful and luxurious official wife, a beautiful, intelligent and shrewd woman, but when she saw me, it was a big difference from what she imagined.

Walking into the bamboo garden, on the left-hand side of the hall, there was a woman who looked quite kind, combed a graceful fallen horse bun, inserted a rich and noble double happiness silver step, wore a Yaochi Qing offering side flower, a pair of purple jade hibiscus earrings on her ears, and wore a hundred butterflies wearing a flower cloud brocade jacket, and Ugin embroidered narcissus clothes. The woman has fair skin and good facial features, but her appearance can only be called delicate, and she is not even half as beautiful as He Angelica's mother Luo Chuanxiong.

Thinking of the cold and handsome Peng Shi and the scorching sun Peng Yan, people can't help but wonder, the mothers of the two Peng Gongzi are so ordinary? Her eyebrows and temperament don't look like a strong woman, which is far from the rumors.

He Angelica is the lord of the fourth grade, and Mrs. Peng is only the sixth grade, according to the rules, Mrs. Peng first greeted He Angelica. After the official ceremony is over, it is a family ceremony, Mrs. Peng is the cousin of He Angelica's mother, according to the rules, He Angelica met the elders for the first time, and he had to do a knee-pressing squat salute to get by, and if he only bent his knees to return the salute, it would not be respectful enough.

However, He Angelica sat down directly with a decent smile on his face, and he didn't do any courtesy at all, which made Mrs. Peng, who was waiting to receive her salute, very embarrassed.

"Hawthorn, the tea is cold!" He Angelica took a sip of Fengyang spring tea and criticized with displeasure, "You are greeting guests? Although Mrs. Peng is a female guest, she can't stay any longer after the back house has played the unitary clock, which is an iron rule! Leave Mrs. Peng so late, you two little Nizita are not sensible. Quickly change the boiling tea and pour tea for Mrs. to make amends! ”

As soon as the words fell, the curvature of Mrs. Peng's lips became even stiffer, and she couldn't stand or sit.

He Angelica only regarded Mrs. Peng as a guest, both in terms of etiquette and in his words, and had nothing else to do with it. Mrs. Peng knew that she was not good at being a teacher, but she couldn't turn her face with He Angelica, she came here today, but she came all for her.

"Why is Madame free to come over today? Ready for dinner? He Angelica asked with a smile.

Mint hurriedly came up to change the hot tea, and when she walked away with the herbal tea, Mrs. Peng went straight to the point. But her "theme" was a bit too amazing, and when she came up, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said: "I'm such a fool, and gradually 'three sisters' and 'three sisters' are always on my lips, but I have never paid attention to them." ”

Well? She's talking about Peng Gradual? What does it mean to suddenly come to the door and say this?

He Angelica's face was silent, and he curled his lips and said, "Isn't what Madam said about the second son, Peng Yan?" I heard that he became a relative to Miss Niu's family, but he was one step ahead of the eldest son, which is really unexpected. The first news she heard when she went to Beijing this time was that Peng gradually married Niu Wenbao as his wife. According to Qing'er, the young couple began to quarrel from the first day of marriage, and everyone in Beijing knew about the quarrel. Peng gradually accepted a few concubines in anger, spoiled them, and was obsessed with his Mrs. Niu.

Mrs. Peng shook her head and sighed and said, "Let the county lord see and smile, how could I have thought of it." I knew that it would come to this point, and I should have paid attention to my words in the first place. ”

He Angelica saw that Mrs. Peng's attitude was so strange, so he simply didn't answer her words. As soon as she heard that Mrs. Peng, who had never met before, Luo Chuanbei, came to visit the door, she guessed that it had something to do with the rebellion of the Luo family. It may be that the Luo family can't go through the path of Baoding Hou, so they turn to the road of Baoding Hou's daughter-in-law. Among the people of the Luo family in the capital, only Luo Chuanbei is suitable to come forward, but why does her words always revolve around Peng Yan?

He Angelica didn't answer, and Mrs. Peng was not ambiguous, and directly picked out and said, "County Lord, do you know? Gradually, I still think about you in my heart. ”

He Angelica frowned, looked at the door, and there were a few little girls standing in the courtyard, but fortunately I didn't hear it, otherwise it would be very troublesome. "Boom!" She stood up, and the frightened Mrs. Peng unconsciously shrank into the chair. She smiled and said, "The wind in the hall is so strong that my ears are buzzing, and I can't even hear what you say, madam." Madame, don't blame, why don't we go into the inner room to talk? ”

Mrs. Peng couldn't ask for it, so she nodded hurriedly.

After entering the inner room for a while, two soft curtains were lowered, and a round table sat He Angelica at one end and Mrs. Peng at the other end. Mrs. Peng was the first to speak, repeating what she had just said: "The woman that Gradually likes is you, the county lord, and this is what he said personally. Do you know why I married him first and left his brother empty? ”

He Angelica shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Mrs. Peng sighed and said, "It's because, I know, gradually I will never be able to marry you." ”

He Angelica muttered in his heart, I will never be able to marry that stinky boy of the Peng family. Now that the man is married, the woman is married, and the two childhood friends have left this matter behind, Mrs. Peng, the elder, has stood up and revisited the old things, and on the territory of the Meng family, is it a bit disrespectful to say these salty and indifferent words to the daughter-in-law of the Meng family?

Mrs. Peng suddenly held He Angelica's hand very emotionally across a table, and said with tears in her eyes: "Good girl, the reason why I firmly oppose Jian'er marrying you is because you are Jian'er's own sister!" ”

"Huh?" What kind of sister, godsister? Rao is He Angelica was calm, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Peng opened a pair of sincere watery eyes, looked directly at He Angelica and said: "Child, it's true, you are my own daughter, the sister of Peng Shi and the Peng family, this is a true thing." You don't have the surname He, you are a member of our Peng family. ”

He Angelica's smart brain is a bit of a gear, she originally guessed that Mrs. Peng mentioned that Peng gradually liked her, and she just wanted to use this as a coercion to let her move up and down the Meng family, so as to help the Luo family do something. But now...... Does Mrs. Peng know what she is talking nonsense?

"Poor child, if you refuse to recognize your mother, your mother will not blame you." Mrs. Peng took a handkerchief to imprint the water stains at the corners of her eyes, "I have given you to Chuanxiong since I was a child, and my mother has never asked you about it over the years." You have had no father or mother all these years, so you must have had a hard time, right? ”

Listening to Mrs. Peng's self-talking and self-familiar appearance, He Angelica was messy for a moment, and reluctantly said: "It's not hard, I'm used to it." ”

Mrs. Peng was touched and whimpered and cried: "Don't blame me, child, when I gave birth to Peng, I gave birth to Peng gradually every other year, and I gave birth to you every other year." I took you to Hefu to visit Chuanxiong, she had just given birth, got a white fat daughter, and was confined at home. That little girl is only a month younger than you, but she is a lot fatter than you, she is a very quiet child, and she never cries. Instead, you are crying in my arms. The doctor went to He Mansion to check Chuanxiong's pulse, and I asked him to see you by the way, why do you keep crying, and whether you are sick. Who knew that the doctor said that it is normal for a newborn baby to cry and make a fuss like you, and the little baby in the cradle who does not cry is not normal enough. ”

"Oh? Aunt Chuanxiong has a problem with her child? He Angelica asked.

Mrs. Peng heard He Angelica call Luo Chuanxiong "aunt", didn't she default to being her biological mother? Mrs. Peng was a little happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, and continued: "Chuanxiong was very anxious when she heard the doctor's words, and asked the doctor to check, only to find out that she had eaten safflower when she was pregnant, and she had also been stained with a lot of musk, so she hurt the fetus in her womb, and the little girl she gave birth to was white and fat, not really fat, but swollen. Alas, it's really pitiful, after the doctor's examination, the child was born an idiot, and I don't know if she can raise it, and all medicine is useless to her. ”

He Danggui came out of God and said: "If this is the case, then it is indeed pitiful, why was Aunt Chuanxiong careless when she was pregnant." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Mrs. Peng shook her head and said sadly, "At that time, Chuanxiong was devastated, and after thinking for a long time, she suddenly knelt down and begged me, saying that she did not give birth to a son, and her husband would not be pleased, if she let her in-laws and husband know that the daughter she gave birth to was an idiot, then her husband would definitely take the opportunity to divorce her." She begged to exchange children with me, let me take that stupid girl to raise, it doesn't matter if she can raise her or not; And she fed my daughter herself, promising that she would treat her as her own, and carefully train my daughter to be a wonderful girl. ”

He Angelica asked, "Madame agreed to her request?" ”

Mrs. Peng showed a look of shame on her face, let go of He Angelica's hand, and said: "Child, wow, you don't know the situation back then, at that time, your father Peng Haoguang was only promoted to the people, and he didn't do any officials, and his family was in a difficult situation. On the contrary, the He family is very wealthy, and the people are thin, and the two old men love the only granddaughter like eyeballs. Chuanxiong also bought off the Persian craftsman Dajieli and hit a rich and immortal lock, and legend has it that the girl who grew up wearing that lock will be the most noble princess in the future! I couldn't help Chuanxiong begging all the time, and I wanted you to wear that golden lock, so the ghost sent God, and I actually agreed to her. ”

He Angelica was speechless. Mrs. Peng wiped a handful of tears and said, "Later, in order to help Chuanxiong keep the secret, I have always endured not to come to you, good boy, don't blame me." Now that Chuanxiong has gone, I can finally recognize you! ”

"Chuanxiong...... Go? He Angelica didn't realize what he meant for a while.
