Like Pei Tong, who has grandparents on top, uncles staring at him, and a bunch of cousins waiting in line behind him, it is extremely rare to be valued by the elders in the family and take him out to socialize and get to know some descendants of the family. Opportunity, in order to make a good impression on the elders or old friends, on such occasions, I usually wait by the side like a follower, not to mention leaving on my own initiative, even if I want to say a few more words, I have to think and think again .
Gu Xi also came from such a wealthy family, so he naturally knew that Pei Tong's life was not easy.
After hearing Pei Tong's words, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and the original cold words became more sincere and warm: "Eldest madam, I didn't send anyone to visit Miss Yu today, do you know that?"
Pei Tong had no idea what happened.
He has been in the capital since he can remember, staying with his parents. He feels that he is the eldest son of the family and the eldest of his generation. Of course, the resources of the family must be close to him first. When he has achievements, he must also take care of him. Brothers and sisters. So he has always been complacent.
But he didn't know until he returned to Lin'an. Although he is the eldest in his generation, the family's resources are not the first to keep him close. If he wants to use these family's resources, he has to show convincing skills. Not only that, but the Pei family also has two students, Pei Chan and Pei Bo, who may be better at reading than him.
Just like the sun used to revolve around him, but now suddenly the sun will also fall on other people.
He didn't get used to it for a long time.
Fortunately, he was raised by his father, and he developed a tenacious temperament since he was a child, and he adjusted it in less than half a year.
Otherwise, how could their room have such a good life now
In the past, he agreed to marry Gu Xi because he was sad and felt that his cousin was gone, so it was the same for anyone he married. Secondly, he saw that he and his younger brother were struggling in Pei's house, so he wanted to use Gu Chang's strength to jump out of the quagmire of Pei's house. She didn't have much feeling for Gu Xi.
Now that Gu Xi asked such a question, his eyes lit up.
He naturally knew what his mother was like. She had too much self-esteem and was too proud. There were certain things she shouldn't do, but she had to do them anyway.
He didn't know what happened to Miss Yu, but Gu Xi made a special trip to ask him this question, which showed that her mother had done something wrong again.
Since his father passed away, he no longer asked for help from his mother, but only asked her not to hold him back.
He said in a deep voice: "I have been with my second uncle all day today, until my third uncle sent someone to let my second uncle go to the court to preside over today's donation ceremony, and then I went to the court with my second uncle. What happened to Miss Yu? My mother What else did you do?"
Gu Xi let out a long sigh of relief.
She was afraid of meeting a foolish and filial person.
Then even if she has 18 kinds of martial arts, she has nothing to display.
She told Pei Tong about Yu Tang's fainting, and then said in a deep voice: "I know that the eldest wife likes to be quiet but not moving, but now that everyone is staring at the place where Miss Yu lives, I think that even if the eldest wife feels There is no need to visit Ms. Yu in person, but a woman should be sent to greet her. After all, there is a second wife serving in front of the old lady."
It's too obvious in comparison.
It will also affect the reputation of Pei Tong brothers.
Gu Xi is well aware of the importance of speaking skills, she relies on this to overwhelm her stepmother.
She said softly: "The eldest wife is sad, how can she be in the mood to socialize with those headed wives, and it is not easy to walk around during the filial piety for the elder. You two brothers grew up in the capital, and others must be very strange to you. Especially at this time , the more you should walk around with each room more. When others know your kindness, they will naturally speak for you if there is anything!"
It is this reason.
Pei Tong is very smart and discovered this problem not long after he came back. But he is a son and a man after all, it is inconvenient for him to come forward for these social activities in the inner house, let alone other people.
He looked at Gu Xi carefully.
At the age of eighteen or nine, she has rosy skin, black eyebrows and almond eyes. Although she is not very beautiful, she has an elegant temperament. At first glance, she looks like a girl from a scholar family.
In addition, there is a pair of exquisite hearts.
Pei Tong was immediately satisfied with Gu Xi.
Maybe this is fate!
He has been waiting for his cousin, but her cousin died. He and Miss Gu are thousands of miles away, but he is going to marry Miss Gu as his wife.
Pei Tong sighed slightly, suppressed the joys and sorrows in his heart, and sincerely thanked Gu Xi: "Thank you! If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known about it. I will discuss it with my mother when I go back at night." However, you should have heard that my mother doesn’t take care of things very much, I’m afraid that these things will still trouble you in the future. If you hear something in the future, please tell me more, so that we don’t make any rudeness I don’t know it yet.”
This is to listen to her advice.
Gu Xi was very satisfied.
She will live with Pei Tong in the future, if Pei Tong is biased towards the eldest wife, she will not listen to what she says, and her life will be difficult.
Pei Tong was still busy there, she didn't dare to delay, said a few words with Pei Tong, and then dispersed.
When Gu Xi went to her own room, she had to pass by the place where Yu Tang lived.
She strained her ears to listen.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the place where Yu Tang lived had been lit with lanterns, the lights were brilliant, as if even the sky had been illuminated a bit, it was very eye-catching. And the faint laughter from the yard arrogantly told those who came to attend the lecture at Zhaoming Temple how lively it was here and how welcome the owner of the yard was.
Gu Xi's chest felt uncomfortable as if a big rock had been pressed on it.
He Xiang said: "Shall we go in and say hello?"
"Will you carry the sedan chair for Yu Tang?" Gu Xi glanced coldly at the bright red Ruyi Gate, and said, "Is she worthy?"
He Xiang was taken aback, and almost covered Gu Xi's mouth, but fortunately, Gu Xi just said this, then walked away quickly with her head held high.
Of course, Yu Tang didn't know what was going on outside, she was listening to Qing Yuan telling Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Yang about Mrs. Shi's matter: "... Just one prick like that, Mrs. Liu won't hurt anymore. I think she still has some He is really capable. Otherwise, Mr. Hu would not dare to introduce him to his family. As for whether it can strengthen the body, beautify the body and lose weight, we have to try it."
The second wife and the third wife nodded repeatedly. The second wife even said: "Let's not talk about that, I'm so tired these days, I'll call her over tomorrow to help me loosen my muscles and bones. I heard that there was such a doctor in the palace before, but I didn't expect us Lin’an also has them.”
Mrs. Yang San said: "The empress dowager likes massage. It is said that there are seven or eight medical women who can massage in the palace. They take turns to be on duty, and they have to massage for a while every day."
"That's great!" The second wife said happily, "Let's all try. Mrs. Yu is also together. Such an opportunity is too rare."
"Me, me too?!" Mrs. Chen never thought of letting a stranger massage herself, so she felt awkward thinking about it, and said, "Is it better? I'll take a look from the side."
"Oh, we have a companion together, what are you afraid of!" The second wife smiled and asked Qing Yuan, "Will the doctor come in to give Miss Yu moxibustion tomorrow? What time is it set? Can we have a massage with her?" ?”
Yu Tang hurriedly said: "It's too late! She said that the moxibustion should not last too long, at most three quarters of an hour. Don't think that she stayed with me all afternoon, but she was actually gossiping with me most of the time."
The second wife became a little reluctant when she heard the gossip.
Yu Tang hurriedly explained: "I didn't talk about other people's affairs, but I talked about myself. It's quite funny."
"That's not it!" Chen said with a smile, "I haven't talked about the parents-in-law and sister-in-law at home, and it's all about her own business."
This is a measure!
Mrs. Yang San also got excited and asked Yu Tang how he felt about moxibustion? Think about whether you want to experience it or not.
Everyone was talking happily when Pei Yan came over.
Mrs. Yang San took out her pocket watch and looked at it suspiciously, and said, "What is the third master doing here so late?"
Yu Tang subconsciously dared not answer.
Mrs. Chen was also at a loss, and said, "Maybe I came to see what happened to A-Tang? The third master also came to see A-Tang in the morning. After all, he fainted in Zhaoming Temple."
The Pei family also funded the lectures, so they should pay more attention to Yu Tang's body, both emotionally and rationally.
Everyone was relieved, Mrs. Yang San smiled and stood up, saying: "It's getting late, we'll go back first. I'll see you tomorrow morning."
Her last sentence was to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang wanted to get up to see Mrs. Yang San and Miss Xu, but they refused to let her go: "Your illness is just right, you should take care of it in the house, and don't tire yourself out for such trivial things."
Seeing that she couldn't evade it, and knowing that Mrs. Yang San was pretending to be sick, it would definitely not be fun in the house, so she invited: "Then shall we have breakfast together tomorrow? The vegetarian stuffed buns in Zhaoming Temple are delicious, I asked Send us a few more from the kitchen."
Miss Xu also thought it was good, and shook Mrs. Yang San's sleeve with a smile.
Mrs. Yang San thought it would be good to go out for a walk, and said, "Then let's come here early tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen agreed happily, and sent Miss Xu and Mrs. Yang San out.
The second wife also felt that it was getting late, so when Pei Yan came, she said hello and left with the young ladies of the Pei family.
Seeing that Pei Yan's complexion was not looking good, Yu Tang asked him to sit down at the round table in the hall, made tea for him himself, and said, "It's tea made by the master of Zhaoming Temple. Everyone thinks it's good. Are you used to drinking it? Don't ask Miss Qingyuan to bring over some of your usual tea?"
"No need!" Pei Yan looked at Yu Tang's rosy face, his eyes were bright and radiant, he felt in a good mood, and said with a smile, "I'm not that particular!"
Still not particular? !
The corner of Yu Tang's eyes quickly swept across Pei Yan's feet.
He wore a pair of seemingly ordinary black double beam shoes, but the two ridges were inlaid with gold and silver thread, which shone brightly when there was a little light... and the same color cloud pattern was embroidered on the edge of the shoes...
She is not so particular about being a woman, okay
I don't know what his so-called "exquisiteness" looks like
Yu Tang slandered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. Turning around, he personally brought a small Jiugongge box to make refreshments for Pei Yan, and said respectfully: "The third master is here, what's the matter?"
