The ancestors of the Pei family lived in Lixuetang on Peifu East Road. Pei Laoan also moved out after the death of Old Madam Pei, but Pei Yan was unwilling to move and still lived in the farming garden where he originally lived. The elders of the Pei family saw that the clan was still in the filial piety period, and that Pei Yan hadn't married yet, so no one rushed him.

When his marriage was settled, he set up the marriage room in the Shuyushan room next to the farm.

Now the older generation is a little dissatisfied.

But Pei Yan didn't explain anything. He insisted on re-decorating the Shuyu Mountain House, and transplanted a ginkgo tree originally planted in Lixuetang to the Shuyu Mountain House.

Old Mrs. Yi inevitably has to visit Pei Lao'an, and said with some emotion: "I know this child is filial. But the country has national laws and family rules, so you can't let his temperament be so messy!"

Pei Laoan picked up the tea cup and gently blew the floating leaves on the water, but instead of drinking tea, he put down the tea cup and said, "You also know that Daguang's temper is temperamental. Originally, the seat of this sovereign should be Ah. You inherited the house, but now the burden is placed on him. He may also have his plans. I think this matter, you just depend on him. He lives wherever he wants to live. All right."

Grandpa Yi couldn't help thinking more.

Could it be that Pei Yan is still planning to return the position of Sect Master to Pei You?

This is not impossible.

I think that when they moved from Luoyang, the clan house had no children. It was their ancestor who took over the position of the lord of the house. Later, the clan house gave birth to a son, and the ancestor of their house regained the position of the lord. Returned to the clan house.

With Pei Yan's arrogance, he really did it!

But Grandpa Yi did not agree with such an arrangement. He reminded Pei Laoan: "Anyway, in my opinion, A Tong and A Fei are not suitable candidates. In this matter, Sister-in-law, you are much better. Pointing and pointing. The Pei family can have today, and the clan has made great contributions, but can't let my old brother not close his eyes under Jiuquan!"

Pei Laoan didn't think so.

She assured old lady Yi: "Don't worry, it will definitely not happen."

The heart that the old man Yi mentioned was only half-relieved, and he sighed and left.

Pei Laoan didn't sleep well for several nights.

The people around him only thought that Pei Yan was about to get married, and she was happy, but only she knew that she was afraid that Pei Yan would really have such thoughts and return the position of Sect Master to Pei You.

She also knew that the thin ginkgo tree was planted by Grandpa Pei in the year Pei Yan was born. Grandpa Pei also said that he hoped that this tree would grow into a towering tree like Pei Yan, peacefully and smoothly.

Pei Yan didn't care about it on the surface, but often watered the tree, and almost watered it to death.

If he transplanted this tree to the Shuyu Mountain House, eight or nine out of ten he made up his mind to live in the Shuyu Mountain House.

Pei Laoan sighed in his heart.

When the people in the bridal chamber were gone, everyone had to rest, but she couldn't sleep because of her thoughts.

Aunt Chen led people in and gave her a soothing fragrance.

But she suddenly didn't want to sleep anymore, remembering the moment when she and Grandpa Pei had just married, the two often lay on the bed side by side, looking forward to the future, how many children? What if it is a son? If it were his daughter, how should he raise him... But now, he left her and left, leaving her to suffer in this world alone.

Pei Laoan suddenly felt sad from his heart, and his eyes were whirling tears.

Aunt Chen said hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? Do you want me to read Buddhist scriptures for you? Or let's go to the old lady's study for a meeting?"

Grandpa Pei's study is still preserved, and the furnishings are the same as before, changing furnishings according to the four seasons.

Pei Laoan kind of missed the person who had been with her for half a lifetime.

She nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay. Let's sit in the old man's house."

Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and instructed the maids to come over with cloaks and hand stoves, and assisted Pei Lao'an to Lixuetang.

The dim light shone on the bluestone corridor, glowing with warm light.

Aunt Chen persuaded Laoan Pei in a low voice: "Now that the third master is also a relative, you will have more grandchildren and granddaughters when you live a few days later. Then the yard should be lively. After all, the third wife is young, and there are still many things that you don’t understand. When the time comes for your grandchildren’s upbringing, you will have to be there to help you watch. You can take care of your health so that the children of the third elders will be like those in the Qian family’s clan. Like grandsons, everyone can read books."

Pei Laoan remembered Yaoer’s naughty appearance when he was young, and suddenly felt in a good mood. He couldn’t help but laughed out loud and said: "How can I be as important as you said? Both of them are smart people, no I, they certainly can do well."

With that, she suddenly didn't want to go to Lixuetang anymore.

She stood at the entrance of the tunnel and pondered for a moment, and said to Aunt Chen: "Let's go to Shuyushanfang."

Aunt Chen was taken aback, and wanted to ask, "Where are you going to do? You don't want to go to the listening room, right?", but then she knew that she wanted to go wrong.

Pei Lao'an is not such a mother.

She followed Pei Laoan to the Shuyu Mountain House.

The guests were gone, and the Shuyushan room was quiet, only a few women who watched the night yawned and cleaned the yard there.

The red firecracker paper was exploded everywhere, a piece of red, like a red carpet, very festive.

A woman was going to tell Qingyuan, but was stopped by Pei Laoan. She said: "I will come and see, don't disturb the third master and the third wife. Today is their bridal chamber flower night."

The mother-in-law laughed and didn't know how to deal with it.

Pei Laoan said to the woman: "You also accompany me! If you meet someone in the Xiaoguangyuan, you can also help say hello."

Pei's family is very large, and people like Pei Lao'an may not know everyone in the head of the house, not to mention that Pei Yan has readjusted the errands of the servants in the house a few days ago.

The woman immediately answered "Yes" respectfully and accompanied Pei Lao'an.

Pei Laoan asked her: "Is the maidservant of Shuyushanfang still Qingyuan? Where is Qingyan? She is in charge of farming? Didn't the people on the two sides merge? Where did you work as a errand? When was you transferred? Do you just care about the cleaning of the outer courtyard? Do you know where the ginkgo plant that the third master moved over is planted? I want to see it."

"I know!" the woman replied, leading Pei Laoan to live with the transplanted ginkgo tree, while answering Pei Laoan: "I was in charge of the cleaning of the Shuyu Mountain House. After the third master moved over, I’m still working as a errand. The people in the farming garden and Shuyushan’s house have not merged. Miss Yan is still in charge of farming the garden. Girl Qingyuan is transferred here. Who will be in charge of what will happen? We will have to wait for the third wife to recognize her. ,rearrange……"

The Shuyu Mountain House is called a mountain house because it is built on a hillside, and the terrain is undulating and wild.

Pei Laoan was supported by Aunt Chen and the woman, and it started to rain halfway through.

The rain is not heavy, and it is pattering, but it is quite lingering.

Aunt Chen was anxious and couldn't help but said: "Winter rain hurts people, let's turn back?" Then he told the lady, "Don't find an umbrella yet! Or ask to lift the sedan chair."

"No need!" Pei Laoan stood and turned to a pavilion next to him, "We are here to rest."

Aunt Chen didn't dare to let Pei Lao'an stand in the rain, thinking about avoiding it first.

The woman was so good, she ran down the mountain in the rain, saying, "You and Lao An will wait for a while, and I will get an umbrella."

It would be even better if you could ask the sedan chair to lift your shoulders, just don't disturb the third master.

Aunt Chen praised secretly.

Pei Laoan suddenly pointed to a ginkgo tree under the pavilion and said, "Look, is that the one planted by the old man?"

Aunt Chen raised the lamp and took a closer look. There was also a brand new red cloth strap tied to the tree, which was a common method used by the gardeners of the Pei family.

"Really!" Aunt Chen approached, looked at her tiptoe a few more times, and confirmed, "I looked at the tree pole with two words vaguely engraved on it."

When Pei Yan was young, because he was naughty and refused to endorse, he was punished by Mr. Pei to stand under a tree. He didn't stop when he stopped, and carved two characters Pei on the tree.

"Unfortunately, it's a little far away, I don't see it very clearly." Aunt Chen said, "Or I will go down and take a look. You sit here and don't move."

"No need." Pei Laoan watched the rain tend to fall and heavier, regretting his waywardness. If she is sick, Pei Yan will have to wait for her newly-married couple. Isn't this tossing the couple?

She said, "It's not too late for us to see tomorrow. When the woman comes over with an umbrella, let's go back!"

Aunt Chen didn't insist.

Pei Laoan walked over.

A hibiscus flower was found next to the ginkgo tree.

In the October weather, the bud of a tree is obviously night, but like a spring flower in a spring rain, the calyx is quietly blooming, revealing some delicate red petals, struggling to bloom, and the tired branches are somewhat unbearable. Against the straight and tall ginkgo, the charm of "the waiter lifts up the delicate and weak" is inexplicably revealed.

Pei Laoan laughed.

It's been too long since I saw such wanton flowers and trees at home, right?

Since the grandfather passed away, the three of his family members have been annoyed to see such flowers and trees. No one in the family will be around him. Naturally, he prefers his liking and pinched the flowers before the flowering period.

This hibiscus tree can stay. I don’t know if it’s because everyone is busy with Pei Yan’s marriage these days and forgot, or because the terrain is remote and no one noticed it?

But in this night, people feel a little warm, and they can see a little squiggly.

It's good too!

Pei Laoan decided to confess to the people in the Shuyu Mountain House. If Pei Yan didn't confess, don't pinch the flowers.

When the time comes, a tree of beautiful colors will be extraordinarily beautiful.

Pei Laoan was surrounded by the maids and women and returned to the room, leaving the bud of the tree, tapped by the fine rain, drop after drop, until the flower bud shivered and opened a corner, and then was attacked. Forced to enter like sweeping the ground, straight down the flower room, undefeatedly forced to bloom until the first flower.
