Pei Xuansheng, the right servant of the Hubu Department, is the magical pen of Pei Xuan's mentor, even Zhang Ying does not know.

When Mrs. Zhang knew about it, she wanted to get married with Pei Xuan.

But the only son of the Zhang family is only eight years old this year. The only son of the second bedroom is a bit older, ten years old, and the two sons of the third bedroom are seven years old and the other is four years old, which is not suitable.

Especially after the death of Zhang’s parents’ son, the second son had to temporarily provoke some responsibilities in the long house. If the second house’s son married Pei Xuan’s daughter at this time, the direct branch might be left behind. This is for an elder who pays attention to direct growth. For families, countless hidden dangers will be buried.

Mrs. Zhang sighed.

Since the death of the eldest son, everything went wrong in the Zhang family.

Could it be that Zhang Family's robbery has come?

Mrs. Zhang's face is not so good.

Mrs. Zhang San knew what the old lady was thinking, and said in deep thought, “Anyway, Xia Guang has already arrived in the capital. There are some things you don’t need to rush, take your time. The most important thing is to entertain the two wives of Pei’s family.”

Mrs. Zhang nodded.

Mrs. Zhang San started to talk about one thing: "When I came, I saw the grandmother next to Ms. Yin, and said that Ms. Yin was ordered to go to Pei’s house to greet Mrs. Pei. You see, do we want to go to Pei’s house to greet Mrs. Pei? Will the eldest lady go to Yin Mansion?"

There is only one girl in the third room of the Zhang family, Zhang Lihua in the second room.

Because Zhang's family did not separate, they called her the eldest lady.

Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised, and said: "A Xuan actually has friendship with the third wife of the Pei family?"

In her impression, Yu Tang was a little girl from a squire's family. Because she was from Lin'an, Pei Yanzhi had the opportunity to marry Pei's family.

Mrs. Zhang San talked about the fate of Miss Xu and Yu Tang.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

What can she ask? She can answer the third daughter-in-law, which shows that it took a lot of effort.

The eldest daughter-in-law in the family was chosen by her. Naturally, she was very good in every aspect, enough to serve as an example. When choosing the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law, I followed the preferences of the two sons. Although they were right in line, they didn't expect them to be housekeepers. They were also afraid that they would quarrel with the eldest daughter-in-law when they entered the house. They chose the first daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong, the second daughter-in-law couldn't pick her shoulders, she couldn't carry her hands, and she was confused about what she was doing. The third daughter-in-law is no worse than the eldest daughter-in-law...

When Mrs. Zhang saw Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but whispered: "What can we do if this goes on? There will definitely be disputes at home at that time. Or the old lady of the Pei family is very powerful, so she directly handed over the family business to Xiao Guang."

Mrs. Zhang did not speak.

The Zhang family and Pei family's situation is different.

If the youngest of the Zhang family had the skills of the youngest of the Pei family, he could be as bold as the old man Pei.

He felt that the affairs of the inner house were small, but the affairs of the court were the big ones.

"You can take care of family matters first." Mrs. Zhang said humanely, "Xiaguang will come over tomorrow. If the situation cannot be turned around in three or five years, we will learn from Pei's family and keep a low profile."

It's just a pity that the situation he has struggled all his life is about to give in.

Mrs. Zhang saw that her husband was in a irritable mood, and she could not disturb him anymore about the house in the house. She thought about three or five years of effort. The eldest grandson is also twelve or three years old and can get married. Then she will find him a shrewd and capable person. For his wife, the priority is set, and the family will be peaceful.

She said: "Will the wives of Pei's family come tomorrow?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "What are they doing here? They just arrived in the capital, there should be a lot of things at home? A few days later is the Buddha Bathing Festival, you can invite the female relatives of the Pei family to the Yaowang Temple together. You don't need to rush. Right now?"

But it's better to move around early.

Mrs. Zhang made up her mind and asked Miss Zhang's family to post to Xu Xuan early the next morning. Who knew the people of the Yin family said that Xu Xuan had gone to Pei's house and said she would not be back until the evening.

Miss Zhang was taken aback and said, "Didn't Sister Xu become pregnant? How could my cousin let her go out?"

Miss Zhang and Yin Mingyuan are cousins ​​who have not appeared in the five clothes.

The grandmother who wrote back and forth covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "What can I do if Master Yin is unwilling? Fortunately, the young lady went in a sedan chair. Master Yin got off the office at night, so she should go to pick up her young lady, right?"

This is true.

Their husband and wife are notoriously affectionate.

Miss Zhang had to wait for Xu Xuan's response.

On Xu Xuan’s side, she was sitting in the flower hall of Pei’s inner courtyard, enjoying flowers and eating fruits, and complaining excitedly about the Yin family’s aunts: "...I’m all right now, one more. It’s Mingyuan’s one. My cousin, the one who married Gu Chaoyang. I just arrived in the capital. I heard that I was pregnant and came to see me after my family hadn't straightened it out. I took a medical book and told me how to raise a baby. If she is too annoying, tell her directly, wait until she becomes a mother and then come here to say these things. Now I am almost a mother, and she still has no shadows. There is nothing to tell me."

Yu Tang didn't look like she was angry, but as if she got a new toy and was having fun.

She couldn't help but looked at Xu Xuan's tucked stomach in awe, and felt it was amazing: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, you all..."

The belly is as big as a basket.

And the original jade-white face has several yellow spots.

Xu Xuan looked at her stomach and sighed: "I didn't expect that I would be pregnant so soon." Then she pointed to her cheek, "Look, you see, you can't hold it down with powder, Yin Mingyuan Don’t let me use powder. I haven’t been out for a long time. It’s too ugly. But luckily you are here. Let’s go shopping tomorrow. I want to buy some materials to make some confinement clothes. Clothes—Wen said, I gave birth in the summer, how hot it was then! I think I’ve suffered a serious crime and don’t want to give birth anymore."

Yu Tang knew that some people would feel particularly bad when they were pregnant. She tried to follow Xu Xuan, thinking that Pei’s family would have her own silk shop to send new patterns to them, not to mention Xu’s and Yin’s. of. Xu Xuan wanted to go to the street, but mainly wanted to go out and stroll.

But it's been such a heavy month, and if she was hit by someone, it would be fatal.

She smiled and said, "I'm not free these days! Second sister-in-law can't sit in the carriage, and she's still lying down until she vomits! Dan is still waiting for illness, and all the family affairs are in my hands. Or else, wait. How many days am I? I will go out with you after I get things done at home?"

Xu Xuan was really anxious, and said, "That's fine! I will come to you every day to help you. What do you want to buy and what you lack, just tell the maid next to me, I will let the Yin family's steward give You go buy it."

In her heart, Yu Tang is unfamiliar with her life and place, and it must be very difficult in this respect.

She can sit in their house without running around!

Yu Tang accompanied her to chat in the flower hall, and by the way showed her maid and mother at home.

As a result, Miss Wu came to the second wife to give the second wife a soothing fragrance, and she immediately yelled when she saw Xu Xuan's belly. She wanted to touch Xu Xuan's belly but didn't dare to touch it: "Sister Xu, you are going to be a mother! Hello! Amazing! He can't kick you? I heard people say that when a child is pregnant, he kicks mom, is it true?"

She twittered a bunch of questions.

Xu Xuan smiled, not only answering one by one, but also actively telling her a lot of things. If it weren’t for Ashan to wait and stomping her feet, Yu Tang asked if An Shenxiang was waiting, she probably would have to tell Xu Xuan. In the first half of the day.

Nevertheless, Miss Wu took Xu Xuan's hand when she left and asked her to come and play when she had time.

Xu Xuan was very happy and said with a smile, "I will come tomorrow."

Then Miss Wu left contentedly.

In the evening, Pei Yan returned from Zhang's family, and Yin Mingyuan happened to pick up Xu Xuan, and the two went to the inner courtyard together.

It was the first time that Yu Tang met Yin Mingyuan, who was famous for her.

He is handsome, fair-skinned, but a little thin, with a bit of weakness between his eyebrows and eyes, but his temperament is very good, and he is gentle and jade standing beside the handsome Pei Yan, but he is not suppressed by Pei Yan. .

This is the first time Yu Tang has seen someone with such a temperament.

She couldn't help but look at Yin Mingyuan a few more times.

After leaving Yin Mingyuan and her husband, Pei Yan asked her, "Do you also think that people like Yin Mingyuan are very amiable?"

Yu Tang did feel that he was closer to Pei Yan, especially since he spoke and acted, exuding from his bones a warm and considerate, courteous, and personable, much easier to approach than Pei Yan.

But she knows better that if she praises Yin Mingyuan like this, Pei Yan, the peacock, will definitely be unhappy. She hurriedly said: "He looks a little sick. Everyone must be careful with him. If you get sick, don't you still have to be responsible for seeing him? Everyone can't bear the consequences!"

Pei Yan was happy when he heard that, and took the initiative to clip her the Sixi meatballs that she had just liked yesterday.

After dinner, they went to visit the second wife.

Pei Xuan hasn't come back yet, saying that he was called by his mentor. The second wife is much better and is urging Pei Hong to write big characters.

Seeing Pei Yan and his wife came over, they hurriedly asked them to make tea again, and said: "This is the same year that your second brother was a tea merchant at home. You can taste it. If it tastes good, I will let them buy some tomorrow. Come back and get ready."

Pei Yan came to discuss the family affairs. After drinking tea, Pei Xuan hadn't come back. After thinking about it, Pei Yan directly told the second wife of his intentions: "Big brother is all in the officialdom. The flower halls in the outer courtyard and the inner house are used by the second brother and the second sister-in-law. I am going to open the north side door, and I will go in and out there. Although A Tong is a junior, he grew up in Beijing and has friends of his own. , I am going to let them move to the study room to the west. Tell your second brother, can you see it?"

The study on the west side was originally a private school where the children of the family studied. There were about a dozen rooms, a corner door for entry and exit, a special kitchen and the like.

Pei Xuan thinks this arrangement is good. As for the front yard and hall of the house, he still meant to share it with Pei Yan. Because he has to get up in bed at the time of Yin, he has just arrived at the household department, and things are very special. He comes back very late at night, and sometimes he just sleeps in the yamen directly. Ask the second wife to bring a letter to Pei Yan: "You don't need to be so clear."
