Pei Xuanzheng and Pei Tong analyzed who might preside over the imperial examinations in the spring of next year, and what their preferences are.

Pei Tong listened very carefully.

Pei Xuan is also very serious.

He had a rare chance to meet Pei Tong.

Recently, the emperor wanted to build a Taoist temple in the palace, but the money in the inner treasury was not enough. The gang of eunuchs from the li supervisor wanted money from the household department. Of course, the cabinet did not agree. The li supervisor put on small shoes for the cabinet every day.

According to Pei Xuan, it hasn’t been long since the emperor had just ascended the throne, and it’s not worthwhile to go online to cultivate the Taoist temple. In the past few years, the weather has been smooth and the treasury is full. You can borrow some money for the inner treasury first, and then pay it back slowly. . The emperor still has income from gold mines and iron ore every year. As long as he is careful, he can pay off his silver for up to three years. There is no need for the cabinet to slap the emperor in the face.

Although he spoke tactfully, he still didn't know how it reached the emperor's ears. The emperor specifically called him to ask how the silver could be worth it. As a courtier, he naturally wanted to relieve the emperor's worries. After talking about a few methods, although the emperor didn't decide at the time, he still recognized the look.

But I didn't expect that he did this but made some people unhappy. He was very angry with him several times and said he was flattering. He was busy solving this matter these days.

Seeing Gu Xi coming over, he remembered that his main purpose today was to pick up his mother. He said he was anxious and anxious about scientific research, and he was neither anxious nor anxious. What's more, Wei Xiaochuan of the Yu family is going to end this time. With his brother’s temperament, he will definitely pull him to tell Wei Xiaochuan about this matter. It is better to be generous and do good things to the end. After asking Pei Yan, he smokes. Telling them all in a free time, it can be considered as a face to Pei Yan.

He stopped the topic and said to Pei Tong: "It's a long story, and it won't be clear in a short while. Then, when I have time, you come over and I'll talk to you."

This is an experience that no one else can buy with money.

Pei Tong was so grateful that he responded repeatedly.

Gu Xi was very happy.

With Pei Xuan helping to escort, Pei Tong should have a greater grasp of Chunwei this time.

She respectfully salutes Pei Xuan and Mrs. Pei.

The two smiled and nodded towards her.

She suddenly heard a burst of laughter not far away.

Gu Xi couldn't help but follow her reputation and saw Yu Tang wearing a silver-red silver fox fur cloak, holding a green tung oil paper umbrella, and getting off the boat with the help of the maid.

"Atang, you haven't changed at all!" Xu Xuan was talking. She was smiling. She stepped forward to hug Yu Tang, but Pei Dan was in front of her and hugged her three times. After Yu Tang, he happily shouted "Three Uncles".

Yu Tang smiled and hugged Pei Dan back.

The white face rested on Pei Dan's shoulders in a green and golden cloak. The face that was originally very beautiful, as if glowing, like a summer flower on the water, warm and gorgeous.

Gu Xi was in a trance for a moment.

Yu Tang, when did he become so beautiful?

It's like a flower.

If it used to be a bit green, then at this time, only the blooming beauty is left.

The beauty is dazzling, and the beauty is shocking.

Nothing has changed here.

Obviously, it was like a different person.

Once there was only God, now there is bone.

And beauty is always on the bone but not on the skin.

Gu Xi couldn't help looking critically at Yu Tang, who was greeting Miss Zhang and Yang.

She wore a plain-faced hang-silk orange twill, apricot and brown striped horse-faced skirt, embroidered with patterns in the pleats, and she was looming when she walked, gorgeous and extravagant.

Gu Xi suddenly smiled bitterly.

She blew up the jewelry again and made new clothes, so what?

Such strong and complex colors can be suppressed by Yu Tang abruptly when she wears them. When people see her, the first thing they see is her white face.

why?

Gu Xi recalled vigorously.

Yu Tang has turned around, took the two sons from the hand of the nurse, and said to Xu Xuan and others: "This is our Jiang brother and Qian brother."

Both children have fair skin, big eyes, high noses, and long eyelashes. They are as beautiful as children under the Guanshiyin seat. But the larger one looked calm and self-sufficient, more like Pei Yan; the smaller one looked gentle and shy, more like Yu Tang.

"Oh!" Xu Xuan bent over, wanting to hold this, but felt that she would be left out of the cold. She wanted to hold that, but felt reluctant to hold this. The two held together. Without this strength, she didn't know what to do for a while.

Pei Dan didn't even think about it. While Xu Xuan was hesitant, he hugged the smaller one and asked him gently, "Are you Brother Qian?"

Brother Qian blushed immediately, and while answering "Yes" in a low voice, he looked towards Yu Tang bluntly, as if saying, "Hurry up and hug me", so that Pei Danxin, who has a bear child at home, wanted to I don’t know whether to pass the child to Yu Tang or continue to hold it.

Brother Jiang frowned invisibly, and said in a clear voice: "Are you my fifth cousin? My brother is still young. It is when he is learning to walk. You should let him go by himself!"

When Brother Qian heard this, he immediately became confident, blinked his big eyes and nodded at Pei Dan, and said, "Fifth cousin, I will walk by myself!"

Xu Xuan and the others couldn't help but laugh.

Pei Dansheng was afraid that the child would cry at the first meeting, so after thinking about it, he hurriedly put Brother Qian on the ground.

Brother Qian was amnesty, and hurriedly hid beside Brother Jiang.

Brother Jiang touched his brother's head comfortingly.

Brother Qian pulled his brother tighter.

Xu Xuan could tell that Yu Tang, the eldest son, is probably like Pei Yan. She couldn't help but teased Brother Jiang: "We are all your aunts or aunts, can't we also hug your brother? He is so timid, can he not do big things in the future?"

An unpleasant gleam flashed through Jiang's eyes, but he gave a stern look on his face. He was very polite and said: "My parents have told us not to talk to strangers since we were young. We met a few aunts and aunts for the first time, and I was a little uncomfortable. If my brother is so, I'm timid, I'm afraid I would cry a long time ago. He just isn't used to it."

"Oh, look at this little look!" Xu Xuan and Yin Mingyuan have lived together for a long time, and they also like smart people. Yu Tang's eldest son is very smart at first sight, she admires it very much, and said to Yu Tang, "You The eldest one is only six years old this year, right? I already know that I'm protecting my brother. The one in our house knows about fighting. Don't be upset, don't stop."

Yu Tang didn't say anything about this early wisdom, and the eldest son who would still bear the responsibility of the eldest son in the future felt even more distressed. She hugged her eldest son when she heard that, and said with a smile: "The children in your family are close together. When I gave birth to Brother Qian, our brother Jiang was already sensible and knew that he loved his brother."

Xu Xuan no longer wanted to talk about her three sons, and sighed: "If I hadn't given birth to a daughter this time, I would rather never give birth again."

Are you still going to be born?

Yu Tang glanced at Xu Xuan in surprise, thinking about the situation of the Yin family, she swallowed the words abruptly, and then embraced her two sons, Miss Zhang, and the Yang family for a few more greetings, and the Pei brothers accompanied Pei. The old lady came over and said, "Get in the car! Let's go back to the Tongzhou courtyard first, and talk about it after lunch."

Several people responded one after another.

Mrs. Pei waved to the two young grandsons: "Come, come to grandmother."

This is to ride a car with two little grandchildren.

The second wife originally arranged for the Pei Xuan brothers and the old lady to sit, but she can also say something self-conscious.

Upon seeing this, he quickly adjusted the order of the ride.

Mrs. Pei and Brother Jiang and Brother Qian took a car, Brother Pei took a car, and his second wife took a car... Gu Xi and his wife took a car...

The mighty thirty-odd carriages drove all the way to the courtyard of Yu Tang Tongzhou.

The earth dragons all burned up yesterday.

The indoors are warm like spring, the snow is raging outside, and the winter plum blossoms.

After taking off the cloak, the people who came back from outside wearing their jackets were relieved and smiled briskly.

The man was talking in the main hall, while the female spouse went to the Nuan Pavilion.

Mrs. Pei was sitting on the Luohan couch holding Brother Qian, while talking to Xu Xuan, she looked down from time to time at the nurse who was squatting next to him and fed the water to Brother Qian, for fear that the nurse would feed the water to Brother Qian. The child’s body is like: "... It’s good if the elders in the family are in good health. I feel more obvious after sixty-five years. A year is not as good as a year. If it were not for these two children to take care of, I would not be so energetic. "After that, he helped Brother Qian to straighten his collar.

The second wife laughed, thinking that the old lady had something to do, and she was indeed more energetic.

She saw Brother Jiang's eyes softened, and asked Brother Jiang quietly, "Are you tired? If you're tired, go to the meeting first!"

Jiang's brother stood upright beside Yu Tang, letting Yu Tang take his hand, politely replying to the second wife's words: "Second aunt, I am not tired. I just woke up when my brother and I disembarked."

What's more, lunch will be eaten in a while. After lunch, their brothers will be arranged to take a lunch break. There is no need to disrupt everyone's gathering.

The second wife couldn't help but said to Yu Tang, "This kid is really good!"

Yu Tang smiled and nodded, knowing that the eldest son had high demands on him, and was filial and obedient, and didn't want him to be embarrassed, so he whispered to him: "Do you want to rely on Mom!"

"No!" He said solemnly, "I'm really not tired."

Yu Tang didn't say anything anymore.

Brother Yuan in Gu Xi's arms looked yearning at Brother Jiang and Brother Qian.

Gu Xi looked closely at him, except that he occasionally met Pei Dan's brother Sen who was about his age at the second wife, and he rarely saw a child about his age on weekdays.

He pulled Gu Xi's sleeves and said vaguely to his mother: "Mum, brother, play!"

Gu Xi was staring at the embroidery in Yu Tang's skirt.

One by one, the embroidered magpies are plumes.

That color, that needle and thread, looked like Shu embroidery given to her by the boss of a tailor shop.

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Can Yu Tang still use this as a skirt?

Didn't she leave the capital? Why is it popular in Beijing and what does she wear?

Or is it imitation embroidery?

Jiangnan merchants are chasing profits, but they are the fastest, but they can learn any good things right away.

Gu Xi didn't hear what her son was saying. She grabbed her son's hand impatiently when he pulled her sleeves, and couldn't hold back her words: "The third aunt's skirt is so beautiful! I've been watching it for a long time. , The more you look, the better you look!"
