Delicate Flower - Extra 2

Gu Xi often walked around Pei’s mansion, and the young man knew who she was, so he knew and said, “The old lady is coming to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and the second master asked the west yard to be cleaned up.”

As soon as Pei Xuan was promoted, he invited Pei Lao’an to be appointed, and Gu Xi didn’t know that his command had come down.

The people in Pei’s Mansion have changed their titles.

Gu Xi felt that her heart was beating harder, but she suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said with joy: “This is really a happy event. I just don’t know when the old lady will arrive in the capital? Who will accompany her old man?”

Pei Laoan and his wife went to Beijing together, preparing to spend a year in the capital, and then went to Mount Tai and then returned to Lin’an. As a result, Yu Tang became pregnant. Pei Laoan was overjoyed. He left Yu Tang in the capital and went to Mount Tai alone. He said that he was going to ask Yu Tang for a peace symbol. When he returned to the capital, he helped Yu Tang. After confinement, when Yu Tang’s eldest son was one year old, Pei Dan left the pavilion, and then returned to Lin’an.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi’s hands tightly held the child.

The little servant shook his head when he heard the words, and smiled: “The little one doesn’t know when the old lady will arrive in the capital, or who will accompany the old lady. The big steward just asks us to clean the house overnight these two days.”

This is only mid-October.

Gu Xi asked a few more questions, but the young man didn’t know if she asked too many questions, so she said with a smile, “Thank you, brother,” and signaled that He Xiang rewarded the young man for a few pennies. , And Hexiang continue to go to the second wife.

He Xiang looked at Gu Xi’s complexion and couldn’t help but whispered: “Young lady, the old lady is coming over, are we going to prepare?”

In addition to meeting with the people in the Pei Mansion, you have to prepare some unusual things to honor Mrs. Pei. If you can invite Mrs. Pei to have a meal at home, it would be even better.

Gu Xi said absently, wondering if Yu Tang would enter Beijing with Mrs. Pei.

She doesn’t know how the Pei family’s business has been in the past two years, but the Yu family’s business has grown bigger and bigger. Just at the beginning of the year, Yu Yuan and a fellow villager named Yao San opened a grocery store in Beijing. She deliberately went around.

The shops are located in the most prosperous part of West Street. There are five shops. In addition to selling lacquerware, they also sell some imported goods. However, unlike Tao’s luxury, the imported goods in the Yu’s grocery store are cheaper. Fresh, prepared by fun people.

However, there are quite a few people who buy it.

Pei’s family don’t know how much it helped post?

Gu Xi thought, the two soon arrived at the second wife’s main room.

The little maid went to report to the second wife, and Mother Jin greeted them in person with a smile on her face.

The second wife was sitting on the Luohan couch and was talking to a few women in charge. They stopped talking as soon as they came in. The second wife also got up and clapped her hands at Brother Yuan, and said, “Oh, our brother Yuan is here. !”

Brother Yuan came often and didn’t recognize the birth, and grinned at the second wife.

The second wife embraced Brother Yuan with joy.

The maid beside him helped Yuan brother take off his hat, collar and cloak.

Several women in charge saluted Gu Xi.

Gu Xi said a few words politely, and stepped forward to say hello to the second wife.

The second wife put Brother Yuan, who was a bit flexible because of taking off her clothes, on the Luohan couch. While she took a kumquat to Brother Yuan to chew, she smiled and said to Gu Xi, “It’s not like that, don’t do that. polite.”

With that said, Gu Xi couldn’t really be ignorant of the rules.

The second wife said to the woman-in-law in charge: “That’s what happened today. You should do what I ordered first. If anything is wrong, then come back and forth to me.”

Several women in charge said “yes”, and stepped back.

Gu Xi asked Hexiang to give the pear paste to the maid beside the second wife, and smiled and said to the second wife: “This time the pears are not as good as last time, so I will add some tangerine peels. The maids talk to Hexiang, and I’ll do something more.”

The second wife thanked him with a smile, and said with a bit of emotion: “I make you bother. Even more careful than our family, Dan.”

Where did Gu Xi dare to answer this, and hurriedly smiled: “Adan was too young when the child was naughty, she was also powerless.” After receiving this sentence, she immediately changed the subject and talked about entering the mansion. When I saw the scene: “It is said that my grandmother is going to Beijing. I don’t know that the mission has come down, so I have to celebrate.” Then he said, “When will her old man enter Beijing? You must follow me at that time. Just say it. Last time her old man made a special trip to visit A ​​Tong, we all remember it in our hearts!”

The second wife chuckled.

Although Pei Laoan doesn’t like the eldest daughter-in-law, he loves the eldest grandson.

After coming to Beijing last time, I went to see where they lived and told Pei Tong for a long time.

The second wife thought for a while and said to Gu Xi, “It’s not your grandmother who is coming, but your third uncle. The emperor will come to the throne and announce the first year that your third uncle wants to visit the capital. Your third aunt must follow, old lady. I can’t bear my two young grandchildren, so I came here with them.”

Since Gu Xi saw the young servants tidy up the yard, he wondered if Yu Tang would come.

Now I can be regarded as sitting down on the news, but calm down.

She smiled and said: “The third uncle and the third uncle are still so good, they have to take them wherever they go. It makes the old lady suffer from it.”

After all, after dividing the sect, there are some things that can be said, and some things are inconvenient to say.

The second wife smiled, and said: “After all, they are young couples, and it is common sense that they like to stick together. I listen to your second uncle. They estimate that the end of the month will be there. Then I will have someone tell you, and you will come over. The old lady kowtowed.”

Gu Xi responded with a smile, and asked Yu Tang’s two sons: “Brother Jiang and Brother Qian are going to live, right?”

Yu Tang’s two sons, the eldest son Jiang Jiang, was born on November 2nd, and the second son was born on December 6th.

I didn’t need to be in the capital before, but now I am coming to the capital. Those who are cousins ​​and sisters-in-law must send a birthday gift anyway.

The second wife said strangely: “You still remember!”

Gu Xi smiled and nodded, holding the kerchief and wiping his son’s jaw full of fruit juice.

How could she forget it!

Yu Tang’s eldest son Pei Jiang was four years older than her Yuan brother, and when Pei Jiang was three years old, Yu Tang gave birth to her second son Pei Qian. For this reason, the eldest wife gave her a look. She was so angry that she had to pretend to give Lin’an a gift as if nothing had happened.

She remembered it all her life.

The second wife wrapped a veil around Yuan Yuan and said with a smile: “So your second uncle said, the opportunity is rare, you must give Brother Jiang and Brother Qian a good birthday.”

If there were no accidents, Pei Xuan would have to stay in the capital for at least 20 years, and there were not many opportunities to see Pei Jiang and Pei Qian.

Gu Xi had to pretend to be happy, and smiled and said, “I will help when the time comes.”

“That’s natural.” The second wife said, remembering Pei Fei’s marriage, and said, “Isn’t it settled yet? What does your mother-in-law mean?”

Pei Fei is weak this year, and there is still no sign of the marriage.

Gu Xi sneered in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face, and her tone was softer than usual: “It’s not that there are no good people who are willing to marry our family, but my mother-in-law is wholeheartedly trying to find someone who can help him. Uncle has been over the years. I haven’t even had a hospital exam, and marriage is a bit difficult.”

It’s more than a bit difficult!

According to the big wife’s standards, unless someone loses their heart, will they marry their daughter to Pei Fei.

After all, this matter must be blamed on the Yang family.

When they saw them earning 150,000 taels of silver back then, the second and third elders of the Yang family had to rely on the Pei family to help them. After the eldest wife arrived in the capital, they asked Pei Fei to be their son-in-law.

The eldest wife was very empty because of the division of the sect, and she agreed upon hearing it, and asked Gu Xi to take five thousand taels of silver to the Yang family as a betrothal gift.

Who knows that Pei Fei is uncomfortable. He has never tried several times. The Yang family may not be very optimistic about him. In addition, after the seventh Miss of the Song family married the nephew of the governor of Jiangsu, the Song family secretly gained a lot of benefits, Yang The girl is good-looking, and marriage is easy. The young girls of the Yang family have been betrothed to a good family, but they have not yet decided which girl from the family should be betrothed to Pei Tong.

This matter dragged on until Pei Tong fell out of the list for the second time in Chunwei, and the Yang family no longer mentioned the marriage, but Pei Fei was getting older and it was not easy to find someone.

The second wife persuaded the eldest wife to lower the standard and find someone from the family, even a talented girl, but the eldest wife felt that the second wife was mocking her, so she listened to her and wanted to give it to Pei with all her heart. Fei finds a daughter of a third-grade member of the family, and some of them are willing to agree because of Pei Xuan’s face, but the one who wants to marry is a concubine, making the eldest wife sick again.

Today, Pei Fei’s marriage is not high or low. On the contrary, because of the more frequent appearances, his reputation has spread, and it is even more difficult to find a satisfactory one.

The second wife also thought of this public case. After a few years, she was still angry and a little dissatisfied, and said: “I still treat her as a maid, so I have nothing to say. But she only believes in the Yang family. People.” At this point, thinking that Gu Xi is a junior, he didn’t feel embarrassed to continue complaining. Instead, he asked the Yang family, “Didn’t the emperor be amnesty for the world when he became king? I don’t remember very well, the third young lady of the Yang family. It’s still Miss Fifth, married to a young man of Dali Temple as a daughter-in-law, the second master and third master of their family should be coming back soon, right?”

“It’s their fifth lady.” Gu Xi came over this time, wondering if she could find a chance to talk to her second wife about it. The second wife took the initiative to mention it. She secretly rejoiced, but her face showed a look of anger, and said, “If you don’t mention this, I am not going to mention it. You don’t know how dirty their family is. Give the second master and the third master, ran to our house to borrow money, and the opening was only fifty thousand taels.

“My mother-in-law still wants to lend them!

“I can’t help but ask my mother-in-law, who is the fifty thousand taels of silver? Where do you get the money?

“My mother-in-law mentioned the 150,000 taels allocated to us by the old lady.

“I just said that of the 150,000 taels of silver, fifty thousand taels were given by the second uncle and belonged to the public family. Of these one hundred thousand taels was what we deserved. The two brothers should logically be divided into fifty thousand taels each. I also counted the various expenses of the family in the past few years to my mother-in-law, and then called my uncle and asked him if he agreed. If he agrees, I will take 25,000 from his name and add it to The five thousand taels of the Yang family. After he gets married, I will give him his twenty thousand taels.

“He just doesn’t say that I’m greedy of his money when the time comes.”
