Delicate Flower - Chapter 398
[Extra six]
On the day Yu Tang’s boat arrived at the dock, snowflakes began to float early in the morning.
When Gu Xi arrived at the pier with everyone, the road was already white.
Mammy Jin held the tung oil paper umbrella painted with red plums, and helped the second wife get out of the carriage.
The second wife said, “It’s snowing hard enough. We won’t have to spend the night in Tongzhou, right?”
If it continues like this, they may have to spend the night in Tongzhou.
Gu Xi, who got off the carriage behind the second wife, couldn’t help but said, “Fortunately, I didn’t bring Brother Yuan here.”
Otherwise, he would definitely be frozen.
The second wife nodded again and again.
Mammy Jin said: “It’s fine to stay here for one more night. Anyway, the charcoal is enough to burn, and the old lady also came to the capital. The second master, fifth young lady and third young master are all by her side. The New Year is not so lively.” The
second lady thought about it.
, this is quite reasonable.
She laughed, pointed to one of the three-sailed large ships and said to Gu Xi, “Look! That’s our family’s ship.”
Gu Xi followed.
It was a sand ship.
The sails of several feet are high and straight, very majestic.
Gu Xi couldn’t help but ask: “Have our family changed boats?”
She remembered that the original boat of the Pei family was a blessing boat, but now it has been replaced by a sand boat that is easier to use in the lake. Moreover, the Peng family is good at making blessing boats. Boats, the Wu family is good at making sand boats.
I don’t know if there is any connection to this?
Gu Xi was in a mess.
Where does the second wife know.
She smiled and said: “The original lucky boat at home was bought when my great-grandfather was there, and it is a little old. Your third uncle replaced this sand boat a few years ago. It is more suitable for our family. I don’t understand. I I think the new boat is more beautiful than the old one, and the interior is better decorated.”
After she finished speaking, she laughed a few times.
Gu Xi also laughed a few times.
Gu Hong, who was wearing an ermine skin cloak, ran over and said,
“Mum, Dad asked me to accompany you on the boat.” The
second wife stretched her neck and looked at Pei Xuan, “Where’s your dad?”
“There are two A cousin is with me!” Pei Hong said, stepped forward to help her mother, and said, “Dad said I’m afraid you might slip.” The
second wife smiled with relief.
Grandma Jin hurriedly said, “Look at how filial the third young master is!”
“That’s right!” The second wife gave her son an admiring look.
In the past, Pei Hong was a little naughty, but since Pei Xuan said that Pei Jiang, a six-year-old from his third uncle’s family, had completed the “Three Character Classic” and could understand the “Nine Chapters of Arithmetic”, he panicked and began to study seriously without speaking. He was also a lot more docile to his parents.
The second wife couldn’t help but said
, “Your fourth and fifth younger brothers have also come to the capital this time. You are a brother, so you have to be tolerant and let them be more.”
He muttered, “Mom, how old am I, are you still worried that I will fight with the two younger brothers?
” I’m afraid you won’t get used to it.”
Pei Hong whispered, “No matter how dissatisfied I am, it’s impossible for me to care about the two younger brothers who are still in the chief role?”
That’s good!
The second wife hurriedly apologized: “It’s the mother’s fault, the mother should trust you more!”
“Got it!” Pei Hong replied gently, and her face really improved a lot.
With her son by her side, the second wife went to find her daughter.
I saw Pei Dan and Xu Xuan getting off the carriage, all wearing cloaks, and their maids holding umbrellas and talking together.
She walked over.
“Mum!”
“Second wife!
Pei Dan shouted a lot.
The
second wife couldn’t help feeling a little distressed, and hurriedly said: “With such a heavy snow, the bridge must be slippery. We will greet the old lady later. You guys are in the carriage. Stay there.
The old lady loves the younger generation the most. She is very happy that you can come and pick her up in person, and doesn’t care about these false courtesy.
Xu Xuan was a little hesitant. Pei Dan called Gu Xi:
”
A-sister-in-law, stay with us too!”
Just have my brother accompany my mother on the boat.
Lest people go too many, there are three long and two short, but it is not good.
Seeing
Pei Tong and Yin Mingyuan talking in front of the carriage, Gu Xi felt very unhappy after hearing what Pei Dan said.
Pei Xuan and the second wife are just her cousins, but Mrs. Pei is Pei Tong’s own grandmother. He didn’t try to accompany Pei Xuan on the boat to greet Mrs. Pei. Instead, he gave this opportunity to Pei Chan and Pei Bo. It was no wonder that after so many years, he still couldn’t pick it up at the critical moment.
She wondered if she could find someone else.
The excuse was to accompany the second wife to the boat, but after Pei Dan said this, the second wife also came to her senses, patted Gu Xi’s hand comfortingly and said, “It’s me who was not thoughtful.
The bridge is slippery, and you are safer ashore.
“He said again, “You will accompany Adan and the others to wait here?”
It’s snowing and we should be off the boat soon.
”
Otherwise, the snow will get heavier and heavier, and the bridge will become more and more slippery.
With Pei Hong standing by the side, Gu Xi naturally can’t hold on. He smiled and told the second wife, “Be careful,” and watched the second wife get on the boat.
Pei Dan He asked her, “Are you cold?
Would you like to go to the carriage for a meeting?
There is a brazier on the
carriage, which is warmer than standing outside.
Gu Xi wanted to have a few words with Pei Tong, and told him to stay by Pei Xuan’s side as much as possible if he had a chance, so he declined Pei Dan with a smile. : “You go to the carriage to avoid it!
I was a little dizzy in the car, just to breathe.
”
Pei Dan didn’t know if it was freezing or what, and he was not polite, and got into the carriage again with Xu Xuan.
Miss Zhang lowered her voice and said to Pei Dan, “Your sister-in-law in the lobby is quite close to the second wife.”
Pei Dan didn’t like to talk about Gu Xi, so he nodded with a smile.
Pei Chan’s wife, Mrs. Yang, and Miss Zhang’s in-laws, that is, the academician of the Hanlin Academy, Yang Chunhe, are from the family, and his father is the governor of Shaanxi. Pei Chan’s marriage was made by Miss Xu, and she is very familiar with these people. .
When she saw it, she tugged on Miss Zhang’s shirt and diverted her words: “I only heard you say the third aunt, and it’s the first time I’ve seen it today. Do you think I’m fine? I’m afraid I’ll leave it to my elders. It
‘s a bad impression.”
Mrs. Yang was the relative who Pei Chan said after she was nominated for the Golden List, Cheng’s family, and no one in Pei’s hometown had ever seen her.
Xu Xuan didn’t want to talk about Gu Xi too much, she clapped
her hands when she heard the words, and said, “You can rest assured that I’m here, she definitely likes you.”
Xuan and Miss Zhang were playing with each other.
Seeing that the charcoal was about to be added again, the old woman outside began to shout: “Second Master helped the old lady to get off the boat.”
Everyone quickly got off the carriage, and Mrs. Yang saw Gu Xi standing next to Pei Tong. The two did not know After saying something, Pei Tong’s face was a little ugly, but Gu Xi smiled, leaving Pei Tong and walking quickly towards the sand boat docked on the shore.
Yang shi shook his head, feeling that Gu Xi was a little too eager.
Pei Dan and the second wife are serious mothers and daughters. What is she always like this next to the second wife?
Gu Xi was so angry at this time.
Pei Tong felt that what she said was reasonable, but she was reluctant to do it, and said, “I was the one who wanted to split the sect at the beginning, and now I am so cheeky, what will people think of it?
This world is originally daring and daring, Starving and cowardly. If you have this face everywhere, you will not be able to accomplish anything.
She had to go on her own.
He rushed to meet Pei Xuan and Mrs. Pei at the front.
Madam Pei is getting old.
Gu Xi’s impression of the black and shiny hair is now half black and half white tied in the forehead, and the corners of the eyes are also wrinkled. Although the complexion is ruddy, it looks like a grandmother, like an old man.
Mrs. Pei treated her very kindly, she was the first to greet her and said, “This is from A Tong’s family, right? It’s still the same as before, it hasn’t changed much!”
Gu Xi immediately went to salute and pulled Pei Tong. ——He is the eldest grandson, why should he be ranked after everyone.
Or after listening to Gu Xi’s words, although he was a little awkward, he still walked forward with a smile.
Mrs. Pei didn’t seem to be as tough as before. Seeing that Pei Tong’s eyes suddenly became wet, she looked at Pei Tong for a long time, as if she wanted to find someone’s shadow in him.
Pei Tong felt something in his heart, and seeing Mrs. Pei’s eyes was also full of admiration.
Mrs. Pei sighed in her heart and said to Pei Tong, “No need to be more polite. I heard that you have been working very hard during this time. If there is anything you don’t understand, I will ask your second or third uncle. Your third uncle, how many of these? Nianwo is
in the country, and I have taught a few good students.”
Pei Tong wiped away tears.
Gu Xi’s eyes had long passed Lao An’s people and landed behind them.
Unfortunately, instead of seeing Yu Tang, she saw Pei Yan and a group of strange men.
Gu Xi frowned almost invisible.
The older men looked like twenty-seven or eight-year-olds, while the younger ones were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although some were dressed in satin and muslin, they were all dressed as literati.
Who are these people?
Gu Xi pondered secretly, and saw Yin Mingyuan walking over.
He first saluted Mrs. Pei, and then said hello to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan was still as indifferent as before.
He nodded towards Yin Mingyuan and introduced the group of scribes to him: “This is Shen Fang. This is Shen Xianyu’s nephew, this is Zhang Hui, we are in Lin’an, this is Fu Xiaoxiao…”
All are coming this time Those who participated in the Spring Festival knew that Pei Yan was going to Beijing, so they took the boat from the Pei family to the capital.
Yin Mingyuan greeted each other one by one.
Gu Xi listened, wanting to know who Wei Xiaochuan was, and winked at Pei Tong, signaling him to make friends with these people.
Who knew that Pei Tong’s thoughts were all on Mrs. Pei. Instead of Pei Xuan, he helped Mrs. Pei, and asked Mrs. Pei’s itinerary in a low voice, but he couldn’t receive her eyes at all.
Gu Xi had to refocus on the group of scribes.

The youngest-looking scribe was Wei Xiaochuan.
Gu Xi took a few more glances.
Wei Xiaochuan’s personality seems to be very introverted. When Pei Yan introduced him to Yin Mingyuan, he blushed and hid behind Pei Yan. He murmured a few words to Yin Mingyuan, which attracted a burst of laughter from everyone.
Being an official is like being a person, not only can you read books.
Gu Xi didn’t think much of him, and his eyes fell on Pei Tong again.
Pei Xuanzheng was talking to Pei Tong with a face full of relief, while Mrs. Pei watched and kept nodding her head.
The atmosphere looks good.
Gu Xi thought about it and walked over.
