While Gu Xi was packing her luggage, several young ladies from Pei's family clamored to give her a holiday, as if they didn't realize that Laoan Pei tactfully asked her to go home earlier, which made Gu Xi feel better. Many, I don’t feel so embarrassed on the face. But seeing off this kind of thing, she thought she didn't have such a cheeky face, pretending not to know what to do, eating and drinking with the ladies of the Pei family.

Yu Tang had no intention of pretending to be in front of Gu Xi. She understood what Pei Laoan meant, and she didn't even say a polite word.

This made Gu Xi secretly guess whether Yu Tang knew something?

But anyway, Gu Xi is going to leave, but she is still unwilling, thinking that she will leave to Pei Laoan alone. If she can probe Pei Laoan's tone, she knows why Pei Laoan would urge him. It would be best for her to return home; if there is no chance, she can say a few words to Pei Lao'an alone—no matter where she will marry in the future as the mistress, it is impossible for her to have nothing to do with Pei's family. What's more, during the past few days at Pei's house, she and the young ladies of the Pei's house can play together. The young ladies of the Pei's house are not the kind of people with a lot of thoughts, but they are worthy of socializing.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the second lady's marriage.

The Yang family had also been in the eyes of their Gu family, but their Gu family and Young Master Yang's girls were only a few concubines in the outer room. Naturally, there is no need to mention them when they get married. Her stepmother also regretted that her half-sisters and Young Master Yang were very different in age. Young Master Yang was the eldest son, and she was afraid that she would not want to marry a wife who was too young.

The marriage that Miss San got married was also pretty good.

Although she is a cousin, but the mother of Miss San's mother is also a serious scholar, and generations of officials can get a jinshi after one or two generations. In this generation, the Jiangxi chief ambassador who has done the most as an official in the family is the uncle of Miss San’s cousin. If San Miss’s cousin is also a seed of reading, there is no need to mention his official career.

This is the foundation of the wealthy family.

It's just that her father is not up for it, and she is encouraged by her stepmother to suppress his uncles who only know how to suppress them. Even if they are supported by her brother, they will not last long.

Gu Xi sighed long.

Hexiang walked in with some panic, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, the eldest lady, the eldest lady from Pei's Mansion sent a maid over and said that she heard that you are going back to Hangzhou. Two pots of Jianlan came to do rituals."

Gu Xi hesitated for a while.

She didn't want to go to the muddy water of Pei's family anymore, the big lady...she regretted the special trip to make the big lady. Originally only wanted Pei Laoan and Pei Yan to see her means of socializing and socializing, but now they gave the old lady an excuse to be too close to her.

Obviously knowing it shouldn't, but the eldest wife sent someone to send orchids, but she suddenly felt a faint joy in her heart.

Don't you think that I have lived in your house for too long, and I didn't have the self-cultivation and self-consciousness of being a guest, then I would simply break the jar and be a person who doesn't know anything.

Besides, the Yang family is not easy to provoke.

Although it was a bit weak in the past, this generation has produced three Beijing officials, who can prosper for another 20 years at least. Why should she push the people of the Yang family outside?

Gu Xi smiled and said: "Invite the maid to come in and reward her for some broken silver. I said that I will accept the flower. Thank you for your love. If the big lady has the opportunity to go to Hangzhou, please go to our house and sit down. Our wife is also a hospitable person. She went to our house, not to mention anything else, but the wine tube had enough."

Her stepmother has a wine shop for dowry. Since she married to Gu's family, she has especially liked to use the wine banquets from her own wine shop to yell at her own wine shop. She used to be the most annoying about this, but now she thinks her stepmother is also good.

Hexiang led the little maid of the old lady in.

On the other side of Pei Laoan, he was talking to Yi Laoan: "I thought it was a lady of the family, she should behave calmly and know well. She knows it in her heart, but this temperament... Therefore, the character of this person still cannot be seen completely. The most rare thing in a woman’s family is to know when to be shrewd and when to pretend to be confused."

The old man Yi was also a heroine in the past, but the old man Yi, who has been serving bad health for more than ten or two decades, has grown older, treated people more leniently, and has a better temper. She laughed when she heard the words: "Then you still chasing people like this? I think the girl is very embarrassed and angry, but I am afraid that she will miss our family and make enemies for the juniors for no reason."

Pei Laoan lightly "snorted" disapprovingly, and said: "The girl taught by our family is not a flower in the greenhouse. It can only be seen and cannot be used. If they can't even hide this little trick, how can they The older and more experienced wives and uncles in the family get along with them?"

The old man Yi chuckled and said, "I think that little girl is also good. Maybe there is no one who knows how to teach, but she is smart."

Pei Laoan didn’t know whether he looked down on Gu’s family or didn’t look down on Gu Xi, and said, "These few who grew up with their stepmothers can do well. If you don’t do this, you can hide yourself! Look at the little girl from the Yu family. , To be honest, not to be smart, I think it's pretty good. Without this diamond, don't go to work on porcelain!"

"You!" The Yi Laoan smiled and shook his head, "What's causing you again? You want to anger other people's little girls." Then, pointing to the direction of the greenhouse, "Or is it that?"

Lao Anren immediately pulled down his face and said, "What do you think I did? He was not obedient when he was alive, and he insisted on marrying the Yang family. Now that the person is gone, he left me such a freshman. Tan messy stall. The old man in our family did not know what to do, so he threw the pot to the third child. What can the third child do? On one side is his widowed sister-in-law, and on the other is his stubborn nephew. He Whatever you do is wrong! I looked at it and asked if the boss was not filial, it was because he was like an old man who did wrong by himself, and there was nothing he could do, so I simply quit and let others help him clean up. Only our third child The most pitiful. But who made him feel like my temper, wishing everyone in the family would do a good job, he would suffer a bit of a loss..."

The old man Yi could not help but "pushed" with a laugh, and said, "Are you pitying your third child? Are you still praising yourself?"

Pei Laoan thought for a while and laughed aloud.

The depressed air in the room was swept away, and it became cheerful.

Pei Laoan and Yi Laoan wanted to discuss the marriage of the second lady with the Yang family, but Gu Xi did not find a chance to say goodbye to Pei Laoan alone.

The marriage between the second lady and the Yang family was quickly discussed. Because the second lady is the grand niece of the third room, although she did not appear in the cabinet, she only needs to keep her filial piety for nine months. The ladies continued to dress plainly, and respected the old man Pei who passed away in the clan. The Yang family also meant this. Thinking of the two families first, they only invited their close relatives to watch the ceremony. When the Pei family's clan room was removed from service, they formally hired and greeted the second lady in the door.

Pei Laoan didn't think it was necessary, just remember the teachings of the old lady. But the old man Yi was very persistent, thinking that the Yang family's meaning was very much in line with her heart, and sent someone to talk to the second lady's parents, and the matter was settled in this way.

At this time, Gu Xi was escorted back to Hangzhou by someone sent by Pei’s family, and Yu Tang wondered if he should also go home.

She went to say goodbye to Pei Laoan.

Pei Laoan did not keep her, but two mule carts full of silk, dried medicinal materials, and snacks. The young ladies of Pei's family even held her hand reluctantly: "When the time comes, you must come to our house to pay New Year's greetings to the two Lao An!"

Yu Tang didn't know if it was appropriate to enter the mansion at that time, but if she had the opportunity, she still wanted to pay a New Year greeting to the two Lao An.

She nodded again and again, and said a lot of sadness to the young ladies of the Pei family, and then she got on the sedan chair of Pei family and returned to Yu's family.

Two mule cart stuff.

As soon as Yu Tang entered Qingzhu Alley, he was surrounded by neighbors. This one asked Yu Tang where he went, and the other asked where the things on the mule cart came from. Yu Tang didn’t intend to promote her relationship with Pei’s family, and answered vaguely. She was still paying attention to when Yu Tang came back. The old lady Chen heard the movement and ran over to the neighbors in a few words, so Yu Tang went smoothly. He walked through the door.

Before Chen held Yu Tang and spoke, tears fell first: "My son, let me take a closer look. You have been away for half a month. Mommy hasn't had a good night's sleep. You are here. How good is the Pei family? Are the ladies of the Pei family easy to get along with? Are they embarrassing you?"

It’s just that before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Yu Wen who was waiting next to her: “What are you talking about? Didn’t you see that Atangbi looked much better when she left home? She also brought two carts of things back. Pei Laoan also likes her very much, right? Atang!"

Having said that, Yu Wen's eager tone, looking at her up and down, revealed his concern and worries.

Yu Tangying "yes", tears fell with her mother: "Well, Pei's family is very good to me up and down, I also followed them to Kuan Temple. I was fine, I almost didn't want to come back."

"You child!" The eldest aunt and Xiangshi who were originally standing under the eaves watching their family reunion didn’t know when they came over. The eldest aunt said with a smile, gently patted Yu Tang on the shoulder, and whispered. Said: "Just come back, just come back. Your mom knows you are coming back the day before yesterday, and she talks about you every day, buying meat and fish, and making a lot of snacks you like to eat. Even we followed to enjoy the blessings. Most of the basket of food."

Yu Tang laughed, teardrops still hanging from the corners of his eyes.

Xiangshi took out his veil and handed it to her, smiling: "It's fine to come back. We are just preparing the New Year's Eve dinner together."

Yu Tang nodded repeatedly and found that Xiang's belly was quite tall.

"Ouch!" She looked at Xiangshi in awe and enviousness, "With such a big belly, have you asked the doctor to see it in advance? Do you want to settle down the stable woman early?"

"You!" Auntie looked at Yu Tang lovingly and smiled, "It's no wonder that your aunt didn't miss you a day, just a little padded jacket. She didn't stand firm, but she cared about your sister-in-law. Auntie didn't hurt you for nothing."

Yu Tang lowered his head embarrassedly.

Both the elder aunt and her mother are experienced people. Where is her turn to ask about these things?

But the family laughed, even the uncle who had always been holding something in front of Yu Tang did not conceal the joy in his heart, and laughed happily with everyone.
