Delicate Flower - Chapter 393
[Extra one]
The capital in winter is so cold that people shiver.
Gu Xi has lived in the capital for seven years and has not been able to get used to such weather.
In particular, he would get up every morning at Yin Shi, and personally decocted medicine and sent it to the eldest wife.
But she was very calm.
Because she has a son now.
She got pregnant in the sixth year of marriage with Pei Tong.
That year, Pei Tong and Shen Fang of the Shen family participated in the Spring Festival together.
Shen Fang, who participated in the Spring Festival for the first time, passed the exam, but Pei Tong, who participated in the Spring Festival for the second time, failed.
Pei Tong didn’t say anything, but his heart was bitter.
Going out during the day to congratulate those old Jiangnan who passed the exam, but at night when he returned home, he locked himself in the study and drank a few days of wine.
She disliked Pei Tong like this and felt unwilling.
How many people took the test five or six times in a row to succeed, Pei Tong was still so young, but his spirit seemed to collapse, too decadent.
Don’t talk about the men walking outside, it’s the women inside the house. If she was scolded by her stepmother and accepted her fate early, would she still have today?
She brought a bowl of sober soup to Pei Tong’s study that day.
Pei Tong was so grateful that her eyes were red, she held her hand and kept saying to the eldest wife: “She must be very disappointed in me! She told me to study hard since I was a child… When I study, she is happy. …The death of her father was a blow to her. I split the sect, and she was very happy, so she held her breath, thinking that I would be able to make a name for myself and be proud of myself in front of those people in my hometown… Not only did I fail to make her proud, but… ”
He couldn’t go on.
Gu Xisu doesn’t like her mother-in-law.
what?
The North and the South have never been clearly distinguished!
Even her mother-in-law’s little sister-in-law didn’t want to deal with her mother-in-law after she met her mother-in-law a few times when she first came to Beijing. If there was anything, either send a mother-in-law to pass the word, or call her back to her mother’s house to talk. It was the Yang family, except after the news of Pei Tong’s failure came out, Mrs. Yang came once to comfort the eldest wife, and she hadn’t stepped into their door for several days.
She couldn’t help but encourage Pei Tong at that time: “Look at my brother, I was also preparing to take a break after passing the exam before continuing.
You are too impatient.”
Pei Tong didn’t speak for a long time.
Yin Mingyuan also asked him to wait for a few subjects, but his mother… so much that Yin Mingyuan doesn’t talk to him much now.
He didn’t want to blame his mother who had been in the inner courtyard of the house for many years, but his mother’s urgency was really a knife on his neck.
Pei Tong couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said insincerely, “I still have no ability. Look at Ah Chan and Ah Bo.”
Pei Chan and Pei Bo participated in the imperial examination three years ago. Shuji Shi, now that his observation of politics in Liubu is over, he heard his second uncle Pei Xuan say that Pei Chan stayed in the Duchayuan as a censor, and Pei Bo stayed in the Ministry of Industry.
This is also the result of the battle between the Pei family and the Peng and Jiang families in recent years.
His third uncle, whether in court or in opposition, was not someone to be ignored.
Five years ago, for some unknown reason, his third uncle started targeting the people of the Peng family, causing the Peng family to lose the resources of the Superintendent’s Office, and he did not give up. Also tore a big hole.
The whereabouts of Pei Chan and Pei Bo are the results.
Moreover, his second uncle, Pei Xuan, had just been promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs because of his good financial management skills, and he was awarded the title of Jinshendian University scholar, and became the second assistant of the cabinet.
The Lin’an Pei family, after many years, once again stood on the cusp and became one of the most prominent families in the dynasty.
What Pei Tong can think of, how can Gu Xi not.
She saw Pei Tong who was so sad that she couldn’t even cry, and suddenly thought of how Yu Tang was holding Pei Yan in the branch that year.
Gu Xi couldn’t help hugging Pei Tong, she didn’t even realize it, and said in a tone similar to Yu Tang’s comforting Pei Yan: “It’s okay, the Dragon Boat Festival is almost here, I’m going to give my second aunt a boxing gift soon, yours I will tell my second aunt. They have always taken good care of us.
Pei Tong burst into tears.
She gave birth to a son after the new year.
Her son not only looks like Uncle Xiao, but also has a personality like her eldest brother Gu. Chang.
Thinking of her son still sleeping soundly on the bed, Gu Xi felt warm in her heart, and the biting cold wind in the capital became able to endure.
He Xiang married a housekeeper, but she still served as an official in front of Gu Xi.
She is a human being. He
became more low-key and understood Gu Xi better.
Seeing Gu Xi’s appearance, He Xiang swiftly filled the steaming soup into the thermos and said with a smile, “Should we go to Pei’s residence these two days?
This year, our house can buy so much charcoal, thanks to the second wife.
”
The people who came from the Pei mansion are still used to calling the people of the Pei mansion according to the order of the mansion. In this newly built mansion, it can be regarded as a kind of bragging rights.
Gu Xike never thought of having a relationship with Pei mansion. The
government has cut off communication.
This year, it is said that there has been a riot in Shanxi. The price of charcoal in the capital has risen, and the idle people can’t buy it. If she hadn’t been hanging around in front of the second wife, the second wife would often think about them. I’m afraid it will be difficult to burn charcoal this winter.
“I will definitely go.
“Gu Xi didn’t think much about it, and said, “When I went last time, the second wife had a bad cough. This time you go, remember to bring some pear paste made by us.”
”
Second wife, like her, has been in the capital for so long, but she still doesn’t adapt to the climate of the capital. Someone from the Gu family used to be an official in the capital, and she kept a recipe for nourishing lung qi. She followed it, and the effect was good. After that, every year She will send some to Pei’s house.
It will not be delivered all at once, one after another, it will be delivered for a winter.
It’s a strategy.
Hexiang remembered.
The two of them, surrounded by the maid and old lady beside them, walked along the Chaoshou veranda, crossed the garden, and went to a small three-bedroom yard to the east where the eldest wife lived.
In the distance, they could hear the eldest wife’s cough.
Gu Xi and He Xiang couldn’t help but look at each other.
Pei Tong fell off the list for the second time. The eldest wife couldn’t bear the blow. She cried all night and contracted a lung disease. After that, every winter, she would be out of breath. She especially likes to cry when she has a bad cough. Pei Tong went to lecture.
Although Gu Xi can make pear paste, she doesn’t want to honor the eldest wife, so when she gave pear paste to the eldest wife for the first time, she put a lot of Chuanbei. The more rock candy, the worse the cough.
She simply stopped giving pear ointment to the eldest wife, and said to Pei Tong, “I’m just a health-preserving prescription after all. My mother-in-law is afraid that she will hurt her lungs, so it’s better to take serious medicine.”
Pei Tong thinks what she said makes sense. In Qiu, he began to invite a doctor to check the pulse of the eldest wife and prescribe medicine. As for Gu Xi, she will be sick all winter. After a few years, her family’s little sister-in-law, Yin Shi, helps to promote that Jiangnan nationality is an official in the capital. The family and the married family members basically knew about it, and it also gave Gu Xi the reputation of “virtuous and filial”.
The eldest wife vomited to death when she heard it, and it was even more unpleasant to see Gu Xi.
Tossing Gu Xi up every morning at Yin Shili to give her decoction.
Gu Xi has worked for her stepmother since she was a child, and she has a lot of experience in how to control the inner courtyard. Not to mention that the Pei family did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and gave her all the money that Mrs. Pei gave them in this room. Although she has a mother-in-law on her head, but The money in the family is in her hands, and if she wants to make the family impregnable, if she can’t spread a word, she can’t spread a word.
The eldest wife has a plan, and she has a countermeasure.
When Pei Tong went back to the inner room for the night, she would start from time to time, and when Pei Tong was studying in the study, it was hard to say.
In addition, after Pei Tong fell off the list last time, Gu Chang found him. Uncle Lang closed the door of the study and talked for a long time, and even found a new teacher for Pei Tong. Pei Tong has been studying in the study most of the past two years. Mrs. Even if he wants to complain, Pei Tong is willing to listen and has time to listen.
So when Gu Xi
and He Xiang went in, the eldest wife couldn’t help but began to ridicule her daughter-in-law strangely: “How can the eldest young lady come here today? You don’t need to accompany Xianggong to study?”
In a sentence, if you are not in the mood, just bow your head and be silent, with a respectful and humble look, to make the eldest wife angry.
She was in a good mood today, and after asking He Xiang to pass the medicine to the maid next to the eldest wife, she sat uninvited on the embroidered pier opposite the eldest wife, and said warmly, “Yesterday, the husband rested in the study. But today I If you want to go to Pei Mansion, you have to go out early.” Then she was fortunate, “Fortunately, my mother-in-law’s medicine was early, otherwise I would have to rush over in the afternoon.” The
eldest wife was so angry that she coughed violently on the spot.
This is also one of the places she is very dissatisfied with Gu Xi.
In the past few years, Gu Xi has been running to Pei’s house whenever she has time, which is even more filial to the second wife than to her mother-in-law.
The maid serving next to her hurriedly helped the eldest lady get better.
After fighting for so many years, Gu Xi certainly knows what the eldest wife has in mind.
She smiled slightly, and looked very happy, and continued in the eldest wife’s coughing sound: “I heard that the fifth master will also be out next year, I have to ask, and then I have to prepare some things to prepare for the exam. ”
This is another knot of the eldest lady’s heart.
Some people are lucky and will be lucky all their lives.
Back then, Pei Dan was docile and shy, and she didn’t stand out among the sisters at all, but who knew that she would marry the best.
However, in the past few years, Uncle Qin has been incessantly, and the talents and talents have come all the way, and the imperial examinations will be held this year.
Lord Qin’s official prestige is also growing.
The ability of the Pei family to tear the Jiang family’s Ministry of Engineering into a big hole has a lot to do with the waiter, Lord Qin.
Mr. Qin said one thing in the Ministry of Industry, and with the support of Pei’s family, he almost made Jiang Hua empty.
This was something no one expected at the time.
Gu Xi didn’t want any accidents to happen to the eldest wife, otherwise Pei Tong would have to keep his filial piety for three years, so he wouldn’t be able to participate in next year’s spring festival.

She stayed with the eldest wife for a while, then went back to her room, watched her son Yuan Ge’er eat breakfast in person, and carried him to Pei’s house.
Pei Dan’s eldest son is about the same age as Brother Yuan. Mrs. Qin regards it as a treasure and does not let go. The second wife rarely sees her grandson once, so she is very kind to Brother Yuan.
Gu Xi carried her son over, which was also one of the ways to please the second wife.
It’s just that she didn’t expect that when she arrived at Pei’s house, the servant girl in the west side of Pei’s house was like weaving, and it seemed that she was cleaning the courtyard there.
In recent years, the second wife’s family has lived in the east yard.
The courtyard on the west side used to be where Yu Tang lived.
Gu Xi’s heart was pounding all of a sudden, and he hurriedly pulled a familiar servant to ask, “What is this? Did the dust start before Laba arrived?”
