Xu was a coincidence, and the old lady's method quickly came up with it.

The reason was that the county lord of Yining of Yong'an County was close to Helu, and the county prince's mansion invited many Shengjing magnates to participate in the ceremony of the county lord of Yining on the fifth day of the fourth lunar month, just three days later.

The old lady was ill and should not attend.

As the head of the General's Mansion, Shen Lingyu will definitely go.

It's just that Shen Lingyu has only been in the mansion for half a year, and now she is the Duchess of Zhongyong, and the old lady is worried that she will steal the limelight of the General's Mansion by herself, so she decided to let her take another person.

Looking at the entire mansion, the most suitable candidate is none other than the eldest granddaughter Pei Xiuci.

If it was before, the old lady would definitely not hesitate to hand-pick Ye Wanran.

But Ye Wanran had an accident, and it happened that there was also a servant Xie Yunzhou on the invitation list of the county prince's mansion, and the old lady was worried that after the two met, Ye Wanran would lose control of her emotions and cause trouble, so she thought of Pei Xiuci.

Pei Xiuci is the eldest daughter of the boss Pei Lan'an, because the old lady is a side room to straighten, and the relationship with the big house is not close, especially after the death of the old war, the eldest daughter-in-law Liu lived deep outside the city Qingxin Nunnery and chanted the scriptures every day, and she had little contact with the big house.

It's just that now in order to suppress Shen Lingyu's arrogance, she is eager to help up another member of her own family, so she thinks of Pei Xiuci.

If Pei Xiuci comes out in the future, it will not be a knife she used to contain Shen Lingyu.

In short, this general's mansion must not be dominated by Shen Lingyu alone.

Thinking like this, on the night she received the invitation, the old lady sent someone to call Shen Lingyu and Pei Xiuci to the bed.

Pei Xiuci is a beautiful lady in the deep house, and her demeanor is full of elegance, but her appearance has not yet grown, and her facial features are slightly immature.

At that time, Pei Xiuci sat beside Shen Lingyu, bowing her head and saying nothing.

The old lady glanced at her and said to Shen Lingyu:

"Xiuci is also fourteen years old, and when she is about to get married, you take her to the banquet of the county king's mansion, and take this opportunity to make a good show for her."

Before Shen Lingyu could react, Pei Xiuci looked up in astonishment.

"Grandmother, granddaughter is still young......"

"Where is it small, just looking at the husband, you have to look at each other for half a year, plus the engagement, you have to delay for a while, next year is the best year for a woman to get married."

The old lady said with a straight face.

Shen Lingyu also felt that Pei Xiuci was still young, but after thinking about it, he also married into the General's Mansion at the age of fifteen or sixteen, so what was there to comment on.

What's more, the old lady just asked her to take Pei Xiuci to participate in the Yining County Lord's ceremony, as for who she likes, it depends on Pei Xiuci's own meaning.

"Mother's meaning, my daughter-in-law can save it, tomorrow I will take Xiuci to the street to buy some clothes and jewelry, and then pick a congratulatory gift for the lord of Yining County."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand for the two to step back.

Out of Suxi Hall, Pei Xiuci caught up with Shen Lingyu in a few steps, with a look of embarrassment.

"Third aunt, I really feel that I am still young, so can I not go to the Junwang Mansion?"

Shen Lingyu turned his head to look at her, "The old lady's meaning, no one can disobey it, you should just go shopping, you may not really want you to fall in love with anyone on the spot." ”

After speaking, Shen Lingyu thought about it, patted her on the shoulder and added two more sentences.

"Xiuci, the marriage of children is a major event in life, the third aunt hopes that you can make a careful choice, don't be as miserable as me, although it is a high marriage, but as soon as you enter the door, there is no husband......"

"What is the third aunt talking about, no one wants anything to happen to the third uncle, if you think our general's mansion is not good, you can let your grandmother let you go back to Yangzhou!"

Pei Xiuci didn't appreciate Shen Lingyu's words, shook off her hand and ran away.

Shen Lingyu looked at her back, and suddenly felt that she was sometimes quite bored with herself, obviously for the good of others, but others didn't appreciate it.

She just hopes that Pei Xiuci can live freely for herself.

Sometimes the life of parents is not necessarily a good match.

Shen Lingyu sighed silently and turned his head back to listen to Yuxuan.

Although she was unhappy with Pei Xiuci, Pei Xiuci still went to the street with her early the next morning.

According to Pei Xiuci's own meaning, Shen Lingyu spent twenty taels of silver to buy her the best dress in the silk village, and bought another set of gilded jewelry with jade.

As for the congratulatory gift to the county lord of Yining, Shen Lingyu carefully selected and selected a piece of jade pendant.

Don't look small, but the workmanship is extremely exquisite, still polished from the finest Hetian jade, with a hollow rabbit carved in the middle.

The county lord of Yining happens to be a rabbit.

Of course, the price is also considerable, and a piece of jade pendant costs three thousand taels.

finally saved three thousand taels from Xie Yunzhou's mouth, and spent it again when he turned his head.

Shen Lingyu was extremely depressed, and after buying things, he took Pei Xiuci to the best restaurant in Beijing for a big meal.

After returning home, Pei Xiuci took her clothes and jewelry back to her courtyard, and couldn't wait to change her clothes as soon as she entered the room.

When she was about to wear jewelry, Wan Lanxuan sent someone to invite her, saying that the second lady had something to discuss with her.

When Pei Xiuci heard this, she was busy and went to Wanlan Xuan.

In all fairness, although the third aunt is generous, she has a closer relationship with the second aunt, after all, the second aunt grew up in the General's Mansion since she was a child, and they are not a few years apart, so they can naturally play together in private.

It's just that after entering the room, Pei Xiuci saw Ye Wanran leaning on the soft couch and sobbing softly, and her face couldn't help but be anxious.

"Second aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Wanran seemed to have just seen her come in, and hurriedly straightened up and sat up straight.

"It's okay, Xiuci, come, sit next to the second aunt, let the second aunt take a good look at you......"

Pei Xiuci sat down when he heard the sound.

Ye Wanran gently touched her face with a smile on her face.

"The days go by so fast, in the blink of an eye, Xiuci has also grown up, and it is time to get married."

"Second aunt, why do you say the same thing as your grandmother, I'm still young!" Pei Xiuci lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

Ye Wanran pursed her lips and smiled, and then sighed.

"It's just that the second aunt, as a person who has come over, can't help but want to say a few intimate words to you, Xiuci, if you choose a husband, you must choose someone with an official name, don't be like the second sister-in-law, for the sake of your second uncle's official position, toss yourself into such an unbearable situation......"

When Pei Xiuci saw her talking about it, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Second aunt, I know that you are also in love, if it weren't for the second uncle, how would you do that."

Ye Wanran sank her face suddenly.

"No, although it is for your second uncle, I was also framed by a traitor, and the person who harmed me was your third aunt!"

Pei Xiuci was stunned when she heard this, "Third aunt? How so? ”

Ye Wanran held her hand and grinded her teeth.

"That's her! She was bent on controlling all of us, and I was not convinced, so I had a lot of trouble with her, and she hated me to the core, so she hurt me! ”

"It's a pity that she has hands and eyes in the house, so there are not many people who know her true face, but the second aunt has already been harmed by her, and she must not let you fall into danger, so the day after tomorrow, the county lord of Yining will be in courtesy, we have to do something!"
