Delicate Flower - Chapter 371
The second wife distressedly helped Gu Xi tuck the quilt, and said warmly, “How can this be troublesome? Men do things outside to make life easier for the family. If they don’t help at all, how can he still have it? The face says it’s your elders. You rest well, don’t worry about other things, there is me, your third uncle, and your second uncle and third uncle!”
Gu Xi lost her mother since she was a child and grew up wearing armor in front of her stepmother. She was occasionally tender. It was also hypocritically calculating with each other. How could it be that elders cared and loved like this.
Her eyes were slightly wet and she didn’t know what to say.
Pei Tong saw him and hurriedly thanked his wife.
The second wife sighed and said to Pei Tong: “As for the elders, don’t worry, I will let your second uncle and father write to Lao An. But for your mother, I am afraid you will have to explain it yourself. Speaking of which, I There is also a mistake. Knowing that you have just married and there is no elder staring at me, your second uncle even told me specifically, but my grandma still… If your mother asks me, you will say it is my fault. I didn’t help her take care of them. Okay. Your daughter-in-law is not feeling well, you have to be considerate of some things!”
The implication is, don’t let the eldest wife cast her anger on Gu Xi.
Pei Tong blamed Gu Xi in her heart. She felt that in order to hold her own, she would report the good news to the elders in advance when the child was less than three months old.
But the second wife’s words are for this purpose, even if he has more dislikes, he can only suppress it in the bottom of his heart.
Besides, what the second wife said is reasonable.
He is a man, so he should be a bigger one.
“I know what to say.” Pei Tong assured the second wife, “I won’t embarrass A Xi.”
The second wife nodded in satisfaction.
Gu Xi turned her face away, blinking her eyes hard, not wanting to let the tears fall.
Pei Tong was the best man she could catch at the time. She made up her mind to marry, but she didn’t expect that Pei’s family was better than she had imagined.
At this moment, she secretly decided that she would never do such a stupid thing again, and she must live with Pei Tong in the future, trying to make up for the rift between the big wife and everyone in the Pei family.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi felt much better.
The second wife and Yu Tang didn’t sit down a lot, so they said goodbye.
Pei Tong sent two of them out.
The second wife and Yu Tang walked unhurriedly on the veranda. When Gu Xi’s yard was out of sight, she whispered to Yu Tang, “I don’t know what to say. I was thinking about buying some medicinal materials. I gave her a postpartum body replenishment, but the result? The medicinal materials were used in advance. I hope the eldest wife can listen to her son’s persuasion.”
Yu Tang’s mood is a bit complicated.
She hoped that Pei Yan was right, at least not causing death; she also hoped that Pei Yan was wrong, at least Gu Xi was not so bad.
Yu Tang sighed and said, “I hope she can be well, and there will be good news in a few days.”
The second wife sighed and nodded.
When the doctor came the next day, the second wife and Yu Tang waited for the results behind the screen.
The imperial doctor prescribed a few health-preserving and blood-replenishing medicines and left.
It doesn’t seem to be a big problem.
The second wife and Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
By the time the big lady replied, it had been seven and a half months.
Sure enough, as expected by the second wife, the eldest wife scolded Gu Xi in the letter and scolded Pei Tong as having no bones and could not stand up, even the people in her house could not control her.
These are all trivial matters.
The key is that the person who came to deliver the letter told Pei Tong that the eldest wife wanted to take the second young master to take this opportunity to visit Gu Xi and take care of Gu Xi’s body and bones.
Pei Tong couldn’t help but hesitate.
Gu Xi immediately said: “Ms. Duke, it is a long-term affection for the mother-in-law to come to the capital and want to go back to her family’s house, but the timing is wrong – if her old man has a dispute with her second uncle, what should we do as juniors?”
The temper of Mrs. Yi might really say something to irritate the second wife.
Pei Tong said, “It won’t work if she doesn’t let her old man come!”
In his opinion, it is a fake for his mother to take care of Gu Xi, and it is true that he wants to return to the capital to visit her family.
Gu Xi decided to prevent his wife from coming to the capital.
The Yang family’s affairs had just been settled, and she didn’t want the big wife to come here again.
She discussed with Pei Tong: “Or, let me go back to Lin’an! Her old man lives in Lin’an alone, and her uncle is busy with homework. She must be very lonely. When I go back, I can take care of my grandmother and show my filial piety in front of my mother. , It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.”
Pei Tong hesitated.
But in this way, he is alone.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t do without Gu Xi, but there was a person who hosted the feed at home, which was still very different.
Pei Tong said: “I think about it carefully.”
Gu Xi promised, but she couldn’t help getting more and more disappointed in her husband.
Not decisive at all.
If her brother is here, agree to agree, disagree, disagree, and feel moved but can’t make up his mind. Such a person, even if there is a high position waiting for him, may not sit well or long.
Gu Xi suddenly felt that she had no hope for her future life.
Then she waited for a few days, but Pei Tong didn’t make a decision. Instead, she got up every morning to write and read as before. She used lunch or went to the Yin’s house or went to the Gu’s house to study with Yin Mingyuan and Gu Chang.
It seems that there is no such thing as a big wife.
Gu Xi was a little anxious, and after thinking about it, she went to the second wife and talked about it.
The second wife was not surprised when she heard it, but smiled bitterly: “Your second uncle also told me about this, and we were also afraid that she would interfere with the Yang family. I heard that the one who married to the Peng family during this period My daughter and the youngest grandmother of the Yang family are very close. In my heart, there is always something unreliable.”
Gu Xi told the second wife what she wanted to return to Lin’an, and said, “This way, all problems will be solved!”
This is tantamount to drawing a salary from the bottom of the pan, so that the big lady has no excuses to come to the capital.
The second wife was very moved when she heard that, she took Gu Xi’s hand, and said, “I know you are a good boy. But it can’t be like this-you and the eldest son have just married and have not yet given birth to the eldest son. How can you be here? It’s time to go back to Lin’an! Stay at ease, the sky is falling down and your second uncle and your third uncle are holding it up! Don’t worry, you have to take care of your bones, and it’s a business to have a big fat boy.”
This is what she is doing for her.
Gu Xi’s tears were about to fall.
The second wife urged her to go back first: “I have accepted your intentions with your third aunt. You don’t care about this. Haosheng and the eldest master are fine. Even if the eldest wife comes over, it doesn’t matter, the Yang family pays for it. If we want to continue to rely on our Pei family, we have to weigh and weigh our work.”
But the Yang family is still holding the handle of the Pei family!
Gu Xi’s words reached her lips and swallowed again.
Since she can think of it, the elders of the Pei family should also be able to think of it.
During this period of time, Gu Tong treated her as a patient, and it was true that the two of them hadn’t made each other for a long time.
Or, as the second wife said, the husband will make plans for the eldest son?
Gu Xi thought and went back to her residence.
Pei Tong, who was still practicing calligraphy in the study just now, disappeared.
She asked the little servant who served in the study: “Where is the young master?”
The young man hurriedly said: “Master Yang’s uncle is here, and the eldest master accompanies the Yang’s uncle to drink tea in the flower hall!”
Gu Xi didn’t believe the people in the Yang family, and felt that if it was all right, Master Yang would not come to see Pei Tong.
After thinking for a while, she sent lotus fragrance to the flower hall to eavesdrop, and she went back to the house to remove the hairpin, freshen up, and replaced the hang silk twill that she wears daily. He fragrance ran back in a panic expression: “Da Grandma, it’s not good, the uncle master is condemning the eldest master in the flower hall! He said that the eldest master was not filial, and the eldest master failed to respond to the court after he went, and let the elders of the Pei family suppress the elder wife and not let the elder wife. Entering Beijing, I forced the young master to write to Lao An, and asked the Pei family to agree that the old lady will bring the second young master to visit you in Beijing.
The Yang family also managed too broadly!
Gu Xi disgusted the Yang family at this moment.
No wonder the people of the Pei family don’t like the people of the Yang family anymore.
Like them, you can pick things out even if you have nothing to do.
Gu Xi hurriedly got up and said, “Go, let’s go and see.”
He Xiang responded and was busy leading the way, telling Gu Xi on the way: “The eldest master is not very willing. The elder Yang family said that the eldest master had forgotten his origin and recognized the thief as his father, and he also scolded the third master, which was terrible. I’m afraid that people in the family will find out that they will rush to report to you.”
Although the members of the Pei family live in their own yards and do not usually eat together, most of the ordinary servants in the Pei Mansion are brought from Lin’an. They are all knowledgeable servants. Some of them have done rough work in the old man Pei or Pei Lao’an. What happened to Gu Xi? It is impossible to avoid these servants of the Pei family completely. of.
Gu Xi was very anxious, fearing that Pei Tong would say something that shouldn’t be said in front of the Yang family elder, and it would spread to Pei Yan’s ears, causing the Pei family’s dissatisfaction and affecting Pei Tong’s position in front of Pei’s parents.
Last time, if it weren’t for her, Pei Tong would have chosen the Yang family.
Now, since they have chosen the Pei family, they can only go one way to the end if they are dead or alive, and they should break off with the Yang family.
She panted to the Flower Hall, only to find that Master Yang and Pei Tong were gone.
Gu Xi was inexplicably cold on her back, and asked the maid who was packing the tea cup and fruit tray in the flower hall: “Where did the young master go?”
The maid hurriedly stopped her work and said, “Young Master and Uncle Yang are out.”
“Do you know what they did when they went out?” Gu Xi asked in a panic, only to realize that she asked the wrong person.
How could a maid who does rough work in the flower hall know where Pei Tong has gone.
The little maid, as Gu Xi had expected, said, “The slave and maid don’t know where the eldest son has gone? But the eldest son is mostly with the uncle Yang. I heard the uncle Yang say something if the eldest son doesn’t believe it, just Following him, he showed the evidence to the eldest son. The eldest son seemed to be very excited, his eyes were red. The servant did not dare to continue listening.”
What evidence? Why should the evidence be shown to Pei Tong? Why didn’t Pei Tong push this to the elders in the family, and follow Master Yang?
Gu Xi shuddered as he thought.
The so-called evidence of Master Yang’s family, isn’t it the Pei family’s handle as mentioned before, right?
But what does this have to do with Pei Tong?
What does it have to do with them?
What does Pei Tong think?
