My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 80 Women begging for luck gather to embrace the moon

While talking, the two walked to the door.

Yingge and Danxing opened the curtains left and right, and entered the main room. Mrs. Wang and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Pei, who were talking, saw them entering the door. They both smiled happily and stretched out their hands to let them sit down.

"Didn't I tell you to rest more? Why are you here again?"

Mrs. Wang looked at her granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Xiang, and felt a little "blame". Mrs. Xiang smiled, then walked up and took the old lady's hand and said.

"Didn't I hear that A Nian and my aunt are coming over, so my granddaughter-in-law also came to join in the fun, especially A Nian. Since she spends her days hiding at home embroidering wedding dresses, it's a rare occasion for me to come over. See you.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Hou Pei also asked.

"Last time you said that your aunt and third sister would help with the embroidery. How about it? Are you busy enough? How about I ask some embroiderers to come over and help."

"We're so busy. The three of us just embroidered the horse face. Aren't the rest the ones my aunt had ordered and sent? There's no need to add more people to the yard. My place is small, so there's really no need to worry about it. No more.”

Jiang Shiyuan replied helplessly, but Mrs. Pei was very happy.

"That's right, the betrothal gifts sent by Zifeng are huge, and your father has included them all in your dowry list with a stroke of his pen. Naturally, there are some things that can't be piled up, but there are not many days left, and when you get married, everything will Just move to the new garden, it’s spacious and there’s enough space for you and your wife.”

Jiang Shiyuan believed this because she had been to that house several times.

In the past, when she envied the princess and joked with her, she never thought that she could live in it. Thinking of this, she felt that everything was destined, especially the Yincuitang.

"That's what my aunt said."

The grandparents and grandchildren were chatting happily when they heard someone from outside saying that Mrs. Pei had arrived. Mrs. Hou got up and went to greet her in person. Jiang Shiyuan followed her without any hesitation, and soon she was with the lady. Mrs. Pei was bumped into as she entered the door.

Mrs. Pei rarely wore an apricot-yellow skirt today, which lifted her original cold temperament a lot. Although her expression was still indifferent, she looked a little warm.

"Hey, sister-in-law is wearing bright clothes today, which is rare."

It was probably the sister-in-law's enthusiasm that ignited Mrs. Pei. She was a person who seldom smiled. Today, after hearing these words, she also rolled her eyes. Then she looked at Jiang Shiyuan behind Mrs. Pei, who stepped forward. He said with a salute.

"I've met Aunt Pei."

"Well, I knew you were coming today, so I specially brought you some begging gifts. They are all customs in Hanzhou. You can take them back and give them to your sisters at home to try."

"Thank you, Auntie. Ah Nian knows."

One of them had a kind face and the other was generous. They seemed to have a very good relationship with their future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Mrs. Pei, the Marquis standing next to her, did not hesitate to give in. She immediately reached out and asked.

"Sister-in-law brings gifts, it can't just be for A-Nian, right? What about ours?"

"Hanzhou's begging gifts are only given to girls who have not yet left the court. Why are you arguing about it?"

One sentence made everyone burst into laughter. This pair of sisters-in-law was really interesting. It seemed that Mrs. Hou's sharp tongue would have an advantage, but she didn't expect that she would be convinced by her sister-in-law every time. .

Mrs. Wang was also happy to see her daughter-in-law embarrassed, so she smiled happily, but Mrs. Pei said something to her the next second.

"But I have prepared other gifts for the old lady and my daughter-in-law, and they will be delivered to them later."

"Okay, if you dare to fall in love with your sister-in-law, I will be left alone!"

"So what?"

It was rare to see a teasing expression on Mrs. Pei's face, and Jiang Shiyuan was also curious as to whether something happy had happened to make her so happy.

Before she could speak, Mrs. Pei spoke first. "Zi Su has received a letter, saying that Kuan'er has entered the Capital Water Prison safely and is now cooperating with the magistrates in several places to build canals. Everything is fine. Hong'er has also returned to the army. As for the two brothers and sisters, they are probably done. We can turn back until the end of August at most.”

"So soon? Could it be that Anian misses her so much that she can't stay in Hanzhou?"

At the end of August, Mingming left at the end of June. It had only been a few days before he had to think about returning to Xijing City. Putting aside the time spent traveling back and forth, Pei Zifeng only had more than a month to do everything in Hanzhou. He could really do it. Finished?

Jiang Shiyuan was not sure, but since Mrs. Pei said so, she just believed it.

Her cheeks were slightly shy, and she didn't mind if Aunt Pei teased her no matter what she wanted. After chatting with her for a while, she spoke frankly.

"I won't have dinner at home today. My father promised to take me and my third sister to Lanyue Tower to watch the Qi Qiao Festival, so it's inconvenient for me to delay any longer."

"Has the private room been reserved?"

"It's settled."

"Okay, let's go back quickly so as not to keep them waiting. Come over when you have free time next time. Just have dinner with my old lady."

"Thank you grandma for your consideration. My granddaughter will leave first."

"I'll give it to you."

If someone else said this, everyone would think it was nothing. But when the words came out of Mrs. Pei's mouth, everyone knew it. Pei Zisu must have sent something for Mrs. Pei to hand over. Jiang Shi Yuan also had a rough guess, nodded with a smile, and the two of them went out together.

They looked like mother and daughter. Although there was no excessive intimacy, there was a tacit understanding. After the two left, Madam Hou rolled her eyes and then said something.

"I haven't been there to join in the fun for several years. Mother-in-law, how about we also go to Lan Yue Tower this year?"

"You are very good at making arrangements for this day, but the elegant rooms for such grand events are all reserved early. If you go now, you may not be able to choose a good seat."

Mrs. Wang knew that the Jiang family had reserved a private room, but it was impossible for her son-in-law to make a large reservation due to his ability, so she did not rashly say that she wanted to go together. Mrs. Hou, Pei, had obviously thought of this too. Nothing was said.

"You don't have to worry about this anymore. Is there anything else that can't be resolved if my daughter-in-law takes action? Where is Xiuqing, do you want to go take a look?"

When Mrs. Xiang heard that she was going out, she was very happy.

It's just that her belly is now a little bulging. If she goes out, she will have to worry about it, so it's not easy to take it down in one bite. Mrs. Pei knew her concerns and then spoke.

"Don't be afraid. Ask three or five women to surround you. Even if anyone comes, you won't be able to bump into you. We can go earlier so it won't be crowded."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiang smiled.

"My mother-in-law arranged it, and my daughter-in-law will listen to you."

Mrs. Pei looked at Mrs. Wang. She didn't have anything else to say, so she waved her hands helplessly.

"You must have had this in mind for a long time."

"My daughter-in-law is wronged. My sister-in-law has come to Xijing City and hasn't walked around yet, so I thought of arranging a show so that my sister-in-law can see the prosperity at the feet of the emperor."

No one could speak nice words as well as Mrs. Pei. She acted quickly and immediately sent someone to make arrangements after receiving the affirmative answer. Mrs. Pei and Jiang Shiyuan outside were talking in the corridor.

"This letter is from Zi Su to you alone. I haven't opened it. I'm thinking about what's going on between the two of you, so I'd better take care of it myself."

The letter is thick, and you can tell at a glance that there must be many pages written inside.
