Looking at the little girl's clear and bright eyes, Pei Yuan's anger from Aunt Zhao disappeared unconsciously, and even the rough green pears in her hands felt delicious, and when she took a bite, it was sweet and juicy and moistened her throat.

Lin Yingsleeve looked at the man with a smile, he ate so sweetly, it can be seen that he likes it, and he should pick a few more in the future.

"Engong Bing Candle Night Tour, why don't you even prepare a lantern?"

Pei Yuan leaned against the pear tree, his expression was a little lonely, and he was quickly covered up, and asked Lin Yingsleeve: "What about you?" I remember that women were not allowed to walk around at night, not afraid of being discovered by the night patrol. ”

Lin Yingsleeve grinned, "I'm afraid." "Touch my stomach," but I'm more afraid of being hungry. Isn't Eungong also hungry, otherwise how could such a coarse pear be eaten? ”

Pei Yuan ate one, and the remaining one was returned to Lin Yingsleeve, "There is a dark fragrance Yingsleeve, the name is good, and your handwriting is not bad, Ming'er replied to your wife and went to the study to serve the pen and ink." ”

Lin Yingsleeve's eyes widened, and she looked at the man a little incredulously, was she hallucinating overjoyed?

Pei Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the girl's forehead, "You ask Aunt Zhao a few, if you want to go to the study, are you not happy?" ”

"No, no, no, Eun-gong-"

"Is it still called Engong?" Pei Yuan asked in a mocking tone, this little girl is not bad, don't say that these aunts have sex at home, it is the Zhou family, and they are also respectful to him and try their best to please him. It's a lot more casual to talk to this girl, and you don't have to be perfunctory.

Lin Ying's sleeves widened, her cheeks suddenly became hot, and she forgot her identity when she was chatting just now-the little aunt of Pei's Mansion, Engong is the master of Pei's Mansion, so isn't she Engong's concubine? Thinking about it, Lin Yingsleeve lowered her head with low self-esteem, she still wanted to repay others, but now she has become her husband.

"If I don't want to, I won't force it." Pei Yuan saw Lin Yingsleeve's movements in his eyes, and felt sorry for Lin Yingsleeve for no reason, if a girl like her was forced to do so, how could she be a concubine?

"No, second master, I do!"

Pei Yuan nodded and shouted behind him, "Who is waiting?" ”

When the two old grandmothers came out, Pei Yuan asked the two of them to send Lin Yingsleeve back to rest, and told the two of them not to talk about tonight's affairs.

The jade man didn't take it back, Lin Ying's sleeves were pinched in the palm of his hand, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, the future husband was Pei Yuan far better than others, but she would never be able to stand in front of Pei Yuan as an equal in the future. As for repaying kindness, it is the duty of the concubine to serve her husband, so how can she talk about returning the favor?

After a long night, I couldn't fall asleep.

The next day, Lin Yingsleeve and other concubines went to Zhou's house to serve, and Aunt Zhao came to ask for peace not early or late after Zhou's freshening up, with pride on her face, she stroked her sideburns coquettishly, and glanced at Zhou's with shy eyes, "Mrs. looks good today, presumably there is something happy?" ”

Zhou knew that Pei Yuan went to Aunt Zhao's house yesterday, she was proud, ignored it, and said to Aunt Zhu: "This morning, the second master's grandmother said that the second master asked Lin to go to the study to serve, and this time I will arrange for someone to ask someone to clean up the two or three rooms behind the outer study." ”

When Aunt Zhao heard the news, she was a little surprised at first, and then she sneered lightly and said contemptuously: "It's my wife's own arrangement!" If there is such a thing, the second master didn't tell me last night? ”

The implication is that if Pei Yuan really takes Lin Yingsleeve seriously, he should have rested in Lin Yingsleeve's room yesterday.

Zhou was talking to Aunt Zhou, and when he heard this, he suddenly laughed, and looked at Lin Yingsleeve with gentle eyes, "The younger sister of the Lin family is literate and hyphenated, and she can help the second master when she goes to the study." Besides, do things in the family still have to be approved by one of your concubines? ”

Aunt Zhao's face was a little sneering, but it was not easy to refute, after all, no matter how she said it, she was just a concubine.

"In terms of talent, our wife was a well-known talented woman at the beginning, and she was the daughter of the grandfather and the lord of the country, even the old lady would give you three points. If it weren't for her poor health-" Aunt Wang looked at Lin Yingsleeve with a smile, "How can there be a sister of the Lin family today!" ”

This word is used well, even if the daughter-in-law is a princess, after the national ceremony, the daughter-in-law must be executed as a daughter-in-law, otherwise an unfilial hat will be buckled, and the reputation of the whole family will be tired.

Wang Hongyi's words are clearly saying that the Zhou family relies on the power of her mother's family, and even her mother-in-law has to avoid it.

"The husband is a promising young man, and I, as a wife, will naturally follow suit." Zhou smiled calmly and said to the concubines: "You are naturally too, since ancient times, there have been few wives and good husbands, and the sisters have lived in harmony, working together to serve the second master, so that he can serve the court with peace of mind, and we will do our duty to be the old lady naturally courteous." ”

Aunt Zhao forced a smile, "Didn't Mrs. say before that she wouldn't let her female dependents go to the outer study, and this will be the Lin family's public move to the outer study?" Mrs. is not afraid that she will be embarrassed when she sees a foreign man? ”

Zhou was a little impatient, "The second master arranged it, even I can't speak, since you of the Zhao family think it's inappropriate, you go and talk to the second master." Why use me as a gunman? ”

"Brother, sister, please say hello to my wife."

The nurse led a pair of twins over, and the two children greeted the Zhou family in style, and all the concubines asked their brothers and sisters before sitting down.

After the two children came in, Zhou's eyes never left the children, "Auntie, Daddy said that Gai Ming'er asked my husband to study, and my sister is going too?" ”

According to the rules, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, and the brother should move out of the inner house next year, Zhou's heart is sour, people can still see it often in the inner house, if they move outside, it will be difficult to meet.

"My sister will also have a husband to teach, did you two pester your father to buy you something yesterday?"

The brother didn't speak, covered his face with his hand and peeked through his fingers to see if Zhou was angry, and the sister said loudly: "Daddy goes out every day, we are so envious, my mother said that we villains can't go out casually, my brother and I want to know what it's like outside, so I begged Daddy to bring some things back." ”

Zhou deliberately reprimanded with a straight face: "Nonsense, Daddy is busy with official business every day, how hard it is, what do you want to ask your subordinates to buy in the future, and you are not allowed to pester Daddy, you know?" ”

Aunt Zhao looked at Zhou's pair of children, and she was hated and envious in her heart, she was the first woman by Pei Yuan's side, and she had no name because the housemother had not yet entered the door. After Zhou entered the door, he pointed to a small affection, which was better than a newcomer. Every time Pei Yuan went to her room to spend the night, the Zhou family gave her a breath soup, and even the old lady stood on her side, saying that the concubines and children could not be ahead of the concubines.

It was easy to survive until Zhou's gave birth to a child, but Zhou's fell ill, and Pei Yuan didn't come to the back house because of her illness, so none of the aunts in the family gave birth to an heir.

"I heard that Brother Er's health was not good yesterday, how do you feel today? Because your wife is so angry, lock up the new aunt - hey, sister of the Lin family, I remember that you should be grounded. Aunt Zhao pretended to be angry and put on a posture of being a family member, "I have to say two words to you, although you are a newcomer, you have to be liked by the second master, and you can't fail to abide by the rules of our house." ”

After that, he looked back at Zhou, bent his knees slightly, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "I remember that the year before last, my wife punished the Wang family's sister for grounding, because the second master asked her to go, and the wife said that the rules were broken, so the Wang family's sister knelt in the upper room for a long time. So what should the Lin family's sister do now? ”
