Delicate Flower

Pei Dan cheered, hugged his mother happily, and said: "You remember to tell me when you come." Then he hurriedly greeted Gu Xi, "Auntie, I'm leaving first. You have time to visit our house." "

Gu Xi wanted to ask her "when", but then she remembered that Pei Dan would say that every time she met her, but in fact she never really posted her, she even asked Pei Dan half-jokingly and half truthfully. When did you invite her to sit at home, and how did Pei Dan answer her? It seems to mean that the mother-in-law is in charge of the family affairs, and she has no right to peck. But no one in the capital knew that Mrs. Qin always praised this daughter-in-law who was personally selected by herself. Pei Dan's words were just evasive words.

Maybe since the division of the clan, she was no longer Pei Dan's serious sister-in-law.

Pei Dan doesn't have to respect her so much, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi was still a little sad.

She wants to make friends with officials and officials in the capital. A sister-in-law like Pei Dan is a good way. Pei Dan did not interact with her, for her, the loss was great.

But she couldn't force Pei Dan.

Their family was not as good as Pei Dan, and if she were to catch up with her, she would be even more contemptuous.

These things flashed through her mind, she smiled secretly to herself, and returned Pei Dan's words "Okay, let's get together again when we have time", and sent Pei Dan out with the second wife.

The second wife looked at her daughter’s back, and kept complaining to Gu Xi: "This child is getting more and more awkward. I don’t know how she lives at her mother-in-law’s house? I think her mother-in-law is also very talkative. Normally, what if one day it provokes her mother-in-law to dislike her?"

The second son of the Qin family became a relative a few years ago, and his wife is also the right girl and the daughter-in-law personally selected by Mrs. Qin. She was happy when she came in. She had just given birth to a son a few days ago. The worries of the second wife are not unreasonable.

Gu Xi hurriedly comforted the second wife a few words, and asked the second lady of the Pei family: "Is it true that you are going to take the child with your uncle to the post?"

In the past few years, they still communicated frequently, but since the division of the clan, the two people's contacts have become less and less. Now, she wants to know the news about the young ladies of the Pei family, and she has to ask the second wife.

The second wife smiled and nodded straight, and said: "You know, she is the most stubborn among the nieces. When she came out of the cabinet, we were all worried about her. We told her to be careful after she married someone. . She was listening to her ears. But she did not expect that the second uncle is a good one. She has not had any children for so many years, but the second uncle does not squint and treats her as before. It is also fortunate to meet such an uncle, hers. The temper has gradually softened. Now it can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon clear. The second uncle was transferred to Huai'an Mansion for her sake, and she also made up her mind to follow the uncle to take the post. So you let me take a step, I will let you take a step so that you can live a good life. As for children, if you have one, you will have one if you don’t have one. It’s not a big deal."

Gu Xi was very surprised.

She thought that Miss Pei Er would make trouble with her husband.

A few years earlier, because Miss Pei Er's step-in-law was making trouble, she often argued with her husband. For a while, I actually lived in Ku'an Temple, helping Ku'an Temple to manage the Buddhist incense business.

When the second wife saw her, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect it. I heard that it was the grandmother Sangu who went back specially to see her and persuaded her for several days."

The third lady of Pei’s family married and returned to a foreign family. Although the uncle is not very talented, she is also honest and reliable. She is a hard-working and indifferent person. The third lady is a thorough and indifferent person. Brothers who have continued their titles on the gold list and are officials outside. Both her in-laws liked her temperament, and she was especially valued among several daughter-in-laws, and the sons gave her little by little.

Although their family is in charge of the mother-in-law, the facts about the family have been handed over to Miss San, and they often make a name for Miss San, so that she has become more and more famous in recent years.

It is best for her to persuade some things.

Gu Xi thought of Miss Fourth, and couldn't help but smile: "Is she still so pungent?"

The second wife glared at Gu Xi and said, "You can't say that." When the voice fell, she herself laughed.

Miss Fourth was married to a family named Hu in Fuyang, and her ancestors had several prefects, county magistrates, and so on. Because she had a relationship with Miss Fourth’s aunt and her family, her aunt made peace, and the two became relatives. . Miss Fourth is a low-married woman, and she is a quick-talker. The Hu family dare not neglect her, let alone stop her. After going back and forth, the people in Fuyang felt that she had a pungent personality and dared to say anything, but she was a little bit embarrassed.

This is what everyone did not expect.

Gu Xi didn't want to expose Miss Si's ugliness, she wanted to ask about the situation of Hu's family.

"I heard that when the fourth aunt's grandmother went home last time, she took her sister-in-law back home." She said carefully, "I don't know if her sister-in-law said anyone else?"

Gu Xi still believes in the character of the Pei family from the bottom of her heart. She thinks that the Pei family can marry the girl to the Hu family, and the Hu family's family style must be good.

If Pei Fei can get married with the Hu family, her relationship with the Pei family can go further, and the relationship with Pei Fei can go further. It will be even more difficult for the eldest wife to be a demon.

She didn't want to waste her energy on the big lady.

Pei Tong is about to end, and she has to find a teacher of enlightenment for her son.

She didn't want her son to be like Pei Tong, who grew up in the hands of a woman, hesitated and didn't know what to say.

The second wife didn't want to get involved with the eldest wife, and said: "Would you like to write a letter to ask Grandma Sigu?"

Miss Si took her sister-in-law to Pei's house last time, just to use the reputation of Pei's family to tell her sister-in-law a better one.

At that time, Yu Tang had already returned to Lin'an. Both the Hu family and Yu Tang’s maiden-in-law’s natal family were in Fuyang. With Yu Tang’s character, she would have this kind relationship.

However, it was all years ago. Gu Xi said it a little late. I wonder if Miss Hu's marriage has been finalized?

But Gu Xi also has her own scruples.

Pei Fei was very disdainful of her before, and she couldn't bother with him.

Now, since he dared to resist his wife, he was on the same boat as her, and she naturally wanted to have a better relationship with each other.

The two went back to the house, Yuan brother was napping in the arms of the nurse.

The second wife told the nurse to take Brother Yuan to rest first: "Don't toss the child anymore. When he sleeps well, you will stay here for dinner before going back."

Gu Xi wanted to refuse to come at first, and then thought that Pei Tong would not be back for dinner today. Pei Fei was so angry that she went to Daxiangguo Temple to stay temporarily. She might as well not go back and let the big wife have dinner at home alone. Up.

She also decided not to let people tell the big lady at this time, when did Brother Yuan wake up, and when did her people report to the big lady.

It's not her business when the lady eats dinner.

After all, she didn't think that the child would sleep for that long?

Gu Xi agreed with a smile, and invited He Xiang to come in, and asked her to tell the eldest wife, and winked at He Xiang with the second wife behind her back.

Hexiang understood, smiled and nodded, and stepped back.

The nursing mother hugged Brother Yuan and rested in the second wife's bisha cupboard.

The second wife was afraid of quarreling the child, so she went with Gu Xi to the small courtyard where Gu Xi lived when she first came to the capital to the west.

There have been big changes in Xiaoyuan and her when she moved out before.

The original place where peonies were planted was changed to camellia, and the yard was built with grape racks and rose flower walls. Although it was winter, the rose flowers still bloomed brilliantly and very brightly.

The gardener was invited by Yu Tang at the beginning. He was an honest person. He stiffly stood in front of the second wife and told about the arrangement of the small courtyard: "The place where the third wife lives is full of green trees as usual. The small courtyard There are a lot of flowers planted here, which are different throughout the year. If you think it’s inappropriate, I will take advantage of the weather that has not completely cooled down, and transplant these flowers in the yard into pots and put them in the flower room. Go inside."

"No need!" The second wife had no intention of changing Yu Tang's decision back then, and smiled, "Even if this small courtyard is to live in, it is also prepared for the guests at home. It is good if there are flowers and scenery. The third wife is all three. You don’t have to worry about the quirks of the master."

The gardener breathed a sigh of relief.

The second wife was accompanied by her mother-in-law to see the powdered wall and Chengchen who had repainted the top.

It can be seen that they are very attentive.

She couldn't help saying: "It cost a lot of money, right?"

After speaking, I felt a bit gaffe.

In the past few years, she has been staring at the one-acre three-quarters of land at home every day, with the intention of chewing and using it to make a living. She is not old yet, but she is already looking like a yellow-faced woman.

The second wife didn't think too much, and smiled: "What is your third uncle doing? The public school is getting richer and richer. It's us, and we have followed suit in the past few years."

In other words, the money for repairing the house is from the public.

Gu Xi wanted to ask why Pei Yan didn't come out, but thinking that the two brothers of Pei had always been close, she swallowed this sentence in time.

Returning to the house in the evening, the eldest wife had a temper. Called her to give a severe lesson.

She had expected it a long time ago.

When I came back, I sent the nurse to accompany Brother Yuan to rest first.

She lowered her head, and Mrs. Ren scolded.

The eldest lady was tired of scolding, panting and rested by the maidservant, she walked out of the room lightly, but looked up and saw Pei Tong standing under the eaves.

The red lantern shone on his face, cold and white, with a frosty chill.

She was shocked, and said: "When did you come back? Why didn't you say a word when you came back? The mother-in-law just stopped, or...you will come back tomorrow morning to greet her old man?"

If it was normal, Pei Tong would not agree.

But this time, Pei Tong thought for a while, nodded, and nodded to her calmly: "Let's go! The weather is quite cold, you should go back to the house and rest soon!"

Gu Xi responded docilely, followed behind Pei Tong, but she was happy in her heart.

If it doesn't work once, it's twice, if it doesn't work twice, it's three times...One day, she can make Pei Tong hate it when she sees the big lady, and get upset when she hears the big lady.

The next morning, Pei Tong did not go to greet his wife. The reason for Gu Xi was to go to Daxiangguo Temple to find Pei Fei: "We can't let him live in the temple forever."

When Gu Xi asked about the Yang family, Pei Tong also acted indifferently, saying: "The relatives naturally need to help, but the money was left by the grandfather to the father. The two uncles in the family are also in their prime of life. Anyway, you have to say hello to your two uncles if you want to use the money."

The implication is that it is not easy to handle.

It means making excuses not to borrow.

"Got it!" Gu Xi responded, snickering in her heart.
