Chapter 880

When Grandma Jiang heard that Young Master An was dying, she was startled, "Didn't I hear that he was doing fine a while ago? Otherwise, Grandma An didn't have the time to go to the banquet!"

Zhou Yeqin sighed, "An Zhouyuan has been in poor health, and Waci entered the pass and tossed a lot, and now he can't hold it anymore."

Grandma Jiang thought of something else.For Pei Qin, the Mo family looked down on Mo Heng who was kicked out of the family, and even hated Pei Qin.But Wei Shu made things difficult for Pei Qin, the purpose was different.

Ten years ago, people in Beizhili were spreading rumors about what kind of wife Mo Heng, a young Xie Yuanlang, would marry. Because of the family matter, then Wei Shu should marry Mo Heng.

Now Wei Shu is married to An Zhouyuan and has no son or daughter. An Zhouyuan is going to die and she will become a widow too.Back then it was the An family who insisted on asking for a marriage. If An Zhouyuan died and Wei Shu returned, the An family would not dare to stop her.

Pei Qin can't raise any more, and there are only two daughters under her knees.Mo Heng left the Mohist family and started the sect independently, would he tolerate the inheritance without heirs?

Thinking of this, Grandma Jiang rolled her eyes, and quickly inquired about the matter, and also asked whether the Wei family had made a decision to let Wei Shu return home.

Zhou Yeqin knew that she always liked to inquire about these things, so he didn't think too much about it, told her everything he knew, and brought her two boxes of boned abalone conch.

Grandma Jiang asked him to send someone to tell her immediately if he had any news.

"Why are you so concerned about the Wei family's affairs? Don't you have trouble with the Wei family's aunt?" Zhou Yeqin teased his sister with a smile.

Grandma Jiang glanced at him, "If Grandma An returns home, she is still young, will she remarry?"

Zhou Yeqin was stunned for a moment, thinking of Mo Heng, thinking that Pei Qin was injured and poisoned and could no longer bear children, Jiang Dahai followed Mo Heng to rebel, and with the achievements of the dragon, he was promoted to the current commander of the third rank, and his expression suddenly became serious. "Ms. Pei is not an ordinary person. It is absolutely impossible for Mo Heng to stop his wife and remarry. Even if Grandma An returns home, the Wei family will not allow her to be Mo Heng's concubine. Mo Heng has no heirs, so he can accept two beauties." Concubine, give birth to a son and record it under Mrs. Pei's name, and raise her in the house, just like my own!"

"Women's thinking is completely different. In short, brother, pay more attention, and send someone to report to me immediately if there is any news." Grandma Jiang felt that it was impossible for such a powerful and powerful character as Pei Qin to allow another woman to be raised. and husband son.Moreover, the emperor named her the God of Tiance. All these honors and powers were earned by her desperate efforts, so why give them to other people's sons at a low price! ?

After thinking about it, she felt that her brother was unreliable, so she told her mother to pay more attention, took the boned abalone back, and prepared to go to the Shenjiang mansion for a banquet.

It was the first time for Pei Qin to organize this kind of social meeting for noble ladies, and it was all arranged by the eunuch in charge. She made a few suggestions.

Jun Suxue didn't want her to lose face in front of the lady, so she was learning all kinds of banquet etiquette and procedures early in the morning, from the place where she entered the door to talk, the flower hall where she ate, the card games she played, where the scenery starts and ends, and where to eat Which dishes and soups are they? I have ordered a variety of seafood and vegetables in advance.

Shan Mingzhu left a message before going home, what other seafood did Pei Qin want to eat? She can pick up the goods directly from Tongzhou Wharf and bring them back. She has made arrangements.

Pei Qin looked so complicated and complicated, her eyes turned upside down, "From now on, don't hold any banquets at home when you have nothing to do!"

The eunuch in charge trembled with a smile, "Look at what the general said! The banquets held by each family have a purpose! Especially after the new year, it is the time when young talents and ladies meet and meet!"

"If you run someone else's house, we have a leader in Carrot, so we don't need to hold these banquets!" Pei Qin ordered directly.

The eunuch in charge thought, "Oh! There is no eldest prince yet! It's time to get married!"

"I don't worry about his affairs!" But with Xiao Yong's current status, even in the past, she doesn't worry about his parents!The daughter-in-law he married is not like Shen Songming and Pei Wendong, there are too many considerations!
Thinking of this, both Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin fell in love for the first time, and at the same age as Xiao Yong, they should also fall in love early!Pei Qin caught Xiao Yong who came back to get his things, and squeezed him into the room.

"Qin...Sister Qin...what are you doing?" Xiao Yong opened his eyes wide and stepped back.

Pei Qin grinned and pushed forward, "Boy! Tell me quickly, which girl did you fall in love with early?"

Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, took a deep look into her eyes, and laughed helplessly, "Sister Qin! I haven't stopped for a while in the past two years, and I haven't met any girls. How can I have a chance to fall in love early!"

"Really!? I've seen you in a daze!" Pei Qin seriously doubted.

Thinking of his first kiss, he hurriedly suppressed it, took his things and prepared to go out, "I can't even meet a girl, and I have no chance to fall in love early! When I am in a trance, I don't think about girls!"

Pei Qin sighed, and said sympathetically, "It seems that we really have to meet at a banquet. Workaholics can't find a partner! Such a good condition, but become a leftover man!"

The corner of Xiao Yong's mouth twitched, "Sister Qin..."

"Go out and create more chance encounters! Boys! In any great love, there is always someone who must be a hooligan first! You have to learn more from the cowherd!" Pei Qin patted him on the shoulder seriously, comforting and educating him.

"Like a cowherd, go to peep at a woman taking a bath and steal her clothes..." Xiao Yong looked at her expressionlessly.

Pei Qin coughed twice, "The cowherd is not too much! At least he and the weaver girl are in love!" A certain beast directly ate her up and left a seed.

Xiao Yong turned back, sat down at the table, and frowned, "I don't like those pretentious and self-righteous women!"

Seeing his distress, Pei Qin also sat down next to him and comforted him, "Don't say you don't like it, I believe most men don't like it, very few don't mention it! To marry a daughter-in-law, it must be suitable for you to marry. If you don’t like those things, our big Chu is so big, maybe your fate is there!” This carrot also grew up with Pei Wendong and Chang Yonglin, they both have leaders, Xiao Yong is still a widow, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable.

"I don't even like it." Xiao Yong looked at her.Everything in the world is inferior to her!
Pei Qin looked at her suspiciously, her face became more and more ugly, she reached out and grabbed his collar, "Say!"

Xiao Yong was pulled in front of him all of a sudden, subconsciously slowed down his breathing, "Say what?"

"Do you like men?" Pei Qin asked darkly.

The moment of beauty, really just a moment, was completely punctured by her next words.Xiao Yong's face darkened, and he took her hand away, "I don't like men!"

Pei Qin didn't believe it. He wasn't an ignorant young man who studied at home every day. He had seen it all over the world, and didn't he have a good impression of him?What is it if you don't like men?
"I like myself! Let's do it!" Xiao Yong was helpless with her thinking and unreliable brain.

Pei Qin looked him up and down in amazement. Among the three radishes, he was not the tallest, not the whitest, but the most handsome. The older he got, the more angular his handsome face was. His two eyes were deep and energetic, and his figure was tall and straight. It stands to reason that there should be quite a few people who like him.I didn't expect that even he liked himself!His face wrinkled for a long time, and finally he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Strengthen the ashes, usually pay more attention to your body! Usually eat more goji berries, leeks and so on! Usually... rest more!"

Xiao Yong reacted for a long time before he understood what she meant, saying that he was self-blasphemy, his face flushed immediately, "Sister Qin!"

"Are you coming back for dinner tonight? I'll ask the kitchen to add a dish of stir-fried kidney with leeks!" Pei Qin said before going out, taking Lu Hai and the maid to prepare meals.

Xiao Yong thought wildly for a while, and hurried out with his things.

On the way, I saw Mrs. Jun counting the vegetables I bought, and asked her to say, "I won't be back for dinner!"

Mrs. Jun hurriedly saluted and responded.Seeing him striding out the door with the people, he sighed secretly.Before, I thought that it was a good fortune for my daughter to be with General Pei in this life, but who knew that General Pei was actually a woman, so I can't think about it anymore.She also thought that the soldier named Zhao Yong next to General Pei was good, but who knew he was the prince, she dared not even think about it.

She should take advantage of the large number of people coming and going after the year after year, and hurry up to find someone for Suxue!If you drag it on, it will be really hard to find when you get older!
Pei Qin heard that Xiao Yong didn't come back for dinner, and sighed, "I can't help my mother!"

"Do you have such an eldest son?" Mo Heng came over with a displeased expression.

"According to my age, it should be, almost, no!" Pei Qin changed his words after seeing his expression.To be honest, with the addition of her two lives, in ancient times, she could have had an eldest son!Hahahahaha!
"He has a father and a mother, and he is a foreigner. You are just a sister who can't get along. Keep your distance from now on." Mo Heng reminded her dissatisfied.

Pei Qin looked at it and opened her eyes, "I can only play with girls from now on?"

"You can play with me." Mo Heng took her hand.

Pei Qin dismissed him in disgust, "Bored and coquettish, I don't want to play with you!"

Mo Heng stared at her quietly.

Before Pei Qin could react, the hairs all over her body had already reacted, she immediately stood at attention, she was shocked, and hugged his arm quickly, with a flattering smile on her face, "I haven't hosted a banquet yet, you are free, Just teach me! Let's play together!"

Mo Heng looked at her and laughed, "I'm not idle."

"You must be free for me!" Pei Qin shook his arm.She has recently learned to act like a baby with her precious girl.

Mo Heng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Pei Qin stood on tiptoe and kissed the side of his face, "Honey! Let's play together!"

"Dance with me first." Mo Heng lowered his head and kissed her forehead lightly.

Pei Qin scolded her mother in her heart, and handed him her hand with a smile on her face.

Mo Heng held her hand, put one arm around her waist, and walked her around the plum garden with dance steps.

Suddenly, the sound of piano and flute drifted over.

Pei Qin stopped and turned to look for it.

"It's Jiu'er and the others." Mo Heng led her to continue.

In the pavilion outside the plum garden, Jiu'er was sitting in front of the piano, plucking the strings with his little hands.Gao Xing sits on the side playing the flute, and Xi Er shakes the rattle from time to time.

Although the sound of the music is immature and simple, it is very smooth and brisk over and over again.

Jiu'er glanced at the two looming figures loitering in the plum garden from a distance, raised the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and continued playing the piano.

If you are happy, you will continue to play the flute, and Xi'er will continue to shake the drum.

Pei Qin's tired and hot head was about to steam, Mo Heng stopped.

Hearing that the music stopped here, Jun Suxue came over, "General! Lord Hou! It's time to eat!"

Pei Qin was granted the title of Mrs. Xining Hou, and many people changed their names to Mrs. Pei.In the Great Chu Dynasty, women were not given their husband's surname when they married, but were still called by their maiden surname, which was a special honorific title, and only women who had made outstanding contributions could be honored.

Jun Suxue was not used to the honorific title of Mrs. Pei, she was still used to her General Pei.

Hearing this address, Mo Heng only glanced at her lightly.

When Pei Qin went to take a few radishes to wash up, Mo Heng summoned Master Jun to ask, "Miss Jun is not young, so she should start a family, right?"

"Yes." Master Jun was not sure what he meant by asking this, thinking that Pei Qin would not be able to raise any more, he thought about it wildly.

Mo Heng directly gave him an information sheet, "Madam and Ben Hou both have unmarried soldiers under their command, take a look and find one!"

Master Jun suddenly cleared up, and took the information sheet with his head down, "Thank you, Lord Hou! Our two elders are worried that we don't know anyone in the capital, and the general is busy with the military, so we dare not bother the general with this matter."

"I had to move here a few years ago, so I was really busy. If you have anything to do, you can call me!" Mo Heng asked him to go down after finishing speaking.

This is to let them settle the matter years ago, don't bother General Pei! ?Master Jun went out with the information sheet.

The meal was served in the upper room, and Jun Suxue also came back to eat with his parents.

Master Jun talked about the blind date at the dinner table, "I have seen all of these, although there are no portraits, but they are very good in character and personality, and they are subordinates of Lord Hou and the general, and their future is bright." You can’t be wrong. You can inquire about them all and choose the one that suits you.”

Jun Suxue thought of Mo Heng's look at her, and her heart sank.

Mrs. Jun persuaded her, "Suxue! You are not young anymore, it's not good to stay in Tiance Mansion like this. Although General Pei doesn't say anything, if you keep not looking for someone, it will be a burden on General Pei's heart!"

Jun Suxue held the chopsticks and was silent for a while, "...I'll look for it."

Seeing that she finally nodded, Master Jun and Mrs. Jun nodded hurriedly, "Silly boy! There is no woman who does not marry!"

Jun Suxue put down the bowl with red eyes, "I'm full." She got up and walked back to the house quickly.

Master Jun and Mrs. Jun looked at each other and sighed, but this is imperative!General Pei moved to Tiance Mansion, and will not tolerate them like this again.It's also for the good of my daughter!

After Laba, Mo Heng and Pei Qin moved their family, and brought Jiu'er and Xi'er, two little carrots, to Tiance Mansion, also known as Xininghou Mansion.Pei Xian's family, Pei Qian and Fang Liuming are all temporarily staying at the same place.The former General's Mansion will be the residence where Lord Xiyun and Pei Wendong married and lived.This is the request of Monarch Xiyun, to live with Pei Qin.

Pei Qin was depressed that she would live next to a sister-in-law like Lord Xiyun in the future, but she had made up her mind that they should live far away.

Xie Yi trotted over, "Ma'am!" No one told her about the move, and Mo Heng didn't allow their siblings to have dinner with them at the main courtyard again. Xie Yi just confirmed the news.Pei Qin and Mo Heng are about to move, but Pei Qian and Pei Xian are still living here.Mo Heng moved away, and it's hard for her to go out often, and it's hard to see people when she goes out, so she doesn't even have that little shortcut!

Pei Qin watched her come over.

Xie Yi came over to bless Fuli, "I just found out that Madam and Lord Hou are going to move to Tiance Mansion, but I couldn't come to help."

"There were servants who moved, but they didn't help." Pei Qin smiled slightly.

Xie Yi looked embarrassed, and plopped down on her knees, "I have an unfeeling request, and I ask my wife to fulfill it."

Pei Qin raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Xie Yi hesitated for a while, then looked up at her with watery eyes, "Ma'am! I heard that this mansion will be repaired and given to... brother Wen Dong to marry the princess. It won't matter if our siblings live here forever." Appropriate. Before the main wife enters the house, the future concubine is already living at home grandiosely, and brother Wendong will be criticized." As he spoke, tears fell down his face.

"So you want to move out?" Pei Qin asked her.

"Can we move in with Madam first!?" Xie Yixi looked at her sadly, "I'll come in when I'm out of filial piety, when the princess can accept me."

Pei Qin also felt that it was appropriate for their siblings to move out, "I originally thought that after the New Year, I would send someone to go back to my hometown with you and divide the property that should belong to your siblings. When you come to Beijing, you can also buy a yard. Live. As for the future, you may think a lot about it." A visit to her hometown, and torn up with the Xie family who invaded the property, her mind will be more enlightened, and her knowledge will be more broadened.

Xie Yi cried and grabbed her skirt, "Madam! Please, let us move out of here first! Let's move out first with you!"

"Have you heard what the servant said?" Seeing that she was a little panicked, Pei Qin sighed.

Xie Yi tightened her lips and shook her head silently.

But her appearance and expression are already obvious.It's not just about listening to servants talking badly, there are even worse ones.

Pei Qin thought that she had always been the head of the family before, and she could also be regarded as a mother-in-law.Xie Yi is in an embarrassing situation now. Since she has the conditions, she will hug her mother-in-law's thigh first and occupy a favorable position. In the future, she will not be able to compete with Princess Xiyun, and she will not be able to hold her head up without being suppressed.After thinking about it for a while, "We still celebrate the New Year together. These days, you should move to the Hou Mansion first!"

"Thank you ma'am! Thank you ma'am!" Xie Yi hurriedly kowtowed a few times.

Pei Qin stretched out her hand to help her, Xie Yi quickly got up by herself, knelt down and blessed her, and hurried back to pack her luggage.

Neither she nor Xie Ze had any luggage, and the clothes were packed soon.

When Pei Qian heard that Pei Qin had agreed to Xie Yi and Xie Ze's move to Tiance Mansion, she rushed over quickly, "Sister, you are crazy! You actually let those shameless two move to Tiance Mansion!? You just Aren't you afraid that she will think of harming you again!?"

"Okay! Don't speculate all day long. There is going to be a wedding here, and it is indeed inappropriate for them to live here. Don't you want to move out after the Chinese New Year!? The two of them will move to the Hou Mansion first. In the next year, send them back to their hometown to spend their family property." Pei Qin married a dedicated person, but in this feudal society, she couldn't force others to be like her and Mo Heng.Pei Wendong's situation was different, and the three of them were entangled, and it was not easy to resolve.

Although it's only been a month or so, Pei Qian still doesn't want Xie Yi and Xie Ze to move to Tiance Mansion, and following Elder Sister, "I just think she's uneasy!"

"How can there be so many people with bad intentions and good intentions! You will be punished for doing bad things! Isn't the old Pei family all in jail for the New Year!?" Pei Qin laughed and asked her to take care of her family first, " The whole family is going to burn the bottom of the pot today! Don't be too late!"

Pei Xian didn't care so much, and felt that it would be bad for Xie Yi and his brother to live at home, and it would be even more embarrassing to move out when their wedding date was approaching, and it would be embarrassing for the Anping Palace.Tiance Mansion is so big, the two of them live in a corner, and it's hard to see the elder sister, and they can't think about it!
Xie Yi and Xie Ze packed up quickly, and the soldiers who moved house also moved their luggage together.

The residences here in Tiance Mansion have been arranged long ago, there is no place for Xie Yi and Xie Ze's siblings.

Jun Suxue took care of most of the family affairs, and the eunuch in charge was taken care of by Tiance Mansion, Pei Qin delegated power, and there were few things in the mansion, so Jun Suxue took care of them all.

"Suxue! Arrange a place for your siblings too!" Pei Qin came over and called her.

Seeing Li, Jun Suxue looked up at Xie Yi and Xie Ze.Although she hadn't been to the mansion next door, she knew the same things about the mansion.I've always heard about Xie Yi and Xie Ze, but I haven't seen them yet.Seeing Xie Yi's pitiful, delicate and melancholy appearance, Xie Ze raised his chin slightly, his eyes flickered, "I didn't prepare before, why did Miss Xie also move to Tiance Mansion?"

Pei Qin pulled her aside and explained a few words in a low voice.

Jun Suxue obviously felt that she was getting closer to her between her and Xie Yi. This awareness made her feel happy, and she nodded with a smile in response, "There is a small courtyard that was cleaned up before. It was originally my brother-in-law and the others who moved there. Let Miss Xie and Mr. Xie move in."

The place where her brother and sister-in-law are going to move is like a servant's residence, with a single door and a single courtyard, three main rooms, three facing each other, and a west wing for the kitchen, with a door open to the east.

And there are five such small courtyards in a row.

"After cleaning, let's move there first!" Pei Qin said to Xie Yi.Anyway, their siblings lived here not long ago, so they took the property and went to live in their own house.

Xie Yi didn't dare to pick too much, let alone say that she lived next to Pei Qin so that she could get close to Mo Heng.He and Xie Ze looked at the luggage and moved to the small courtyard.

Xie Ze thought it would be better to arrange for them than in the General's Mansion, since the Tiance Mansion used to belong to the Wang Mansion.In the end, they walked for more than a quarter of an hour before arriving at their residence. Not to mention, the place where they lived was completely incomparable with the yards they passed by.

Looking at such a far away place, Xie Yi also felt a little cold.Not to mention living here, it is difficult to go out, let alone see Mo Heng, how close! ?

Pei Qian was quite satisfied with where they lived, so she directly greeted Jun Suxue and the eunuch in charge, "Tell them not to hang out in front of the elder sister and elder brother-in-law for nothing! They don't have a good idea!"

Jun Suxue was stunned for a moment, and responded with a smile.Are you not in a good mood?Her eyes fell on the busy Pei Qin.Since she wants to follow her, she will not allow anyone to harm her in the slightest!

After moving house in a hurry, we ate the reunion dinner at the bottom of the pot, and went back to each house to prepare for the New Year.

Pei Qin also took advantage of the relocation to invite some acquaintances and ladies to come to the house to enjoy the flowers as guests.

Grandma Jiang packed up early and came to the door with congratulatory gifts, bone-in abalone and Jiang Dahai.

Mrs. Dou and Dou Mingying also came early.

There are also several wives and misses from the generals' family, Mrs. An and Miss An's family.

Pei Qian and Pei Xian are also here to help entertain and see these ladies, and they will deal with them in the future.

Hearing that Mrs. An and Miss An's family had arrived, Pei Qian frowned suddenly, her expression was ugly, "What are the people from the An's family here for?" That Wei Shu's in-law's family has such a face! ?

Jun Suxue knew she was confused at a glance, and explained to her in a low voice, "There are two Anjias in the capital, with different clans. This is General An Liefeng's wife and youngest daughter."

Speaking of An Lie Feng, Pei Qian remembered it.The eldest sister and elder brother-in-law were under An Liefeng's command at the beginning, and their relationship with the Dou family should be the same, so they immediately eased their expressions, and greeted them with a smile.

Fang Liuming is only a sixth-rank chief officer, Zhao Xiaochen is only a fifth-rank general, and Pei Xian and Pei Qian's identities are naturally not high.But both of them are Pei Qin's younger sisters.Mrs. An and Miss An also smiled and greeted each other.

Pei Qin was talking and followed them into the room.

Because all the people invited are friendly and talkative, and they all know each other, so there is a harmonious atmosphere.

Jun Suxue's arrangement was thorough and relaxed, just like a tea party.After drinking tea and warming up, everyone is here, so they all go to the garden to play.

The scenery of the Wangfu is hard to see, but the Zhaowangfu was built with all financial and material resources for several years, and the scenery is even more unique.It has never been opened to the outside world, a kind of lady who is fascinated by seeing it.

Dou Mingying pulled An Rui and whispered, "General Pei said those flowers in the greenhouse, we can choose a pot for us when we leave."

An Rui's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Can you choose?"

Dou Mingying nodded with a smile, "When General Pei said just now, you didn't pay attention, you looked straight at those flowers and plants!"

An Rui glanced at her, and couldn't help but blushed slightly, "I like that camellia plant of Sai Peony, but it's a famous product, and I can't choose such a precious one."

"I think the narcissus is also good. It will bloom in just a few days. I want a pot of narcissus to be placed in the house." Dou Mingying was talking to her.

Jun Suxue listened to the conversation of these little girls and knew that Pei Qin didn't like to pay attention to these things, so she packed up the flowers and plants that they each liked.

After watching the scenery, I came back and ate a buffet barbecue meal. The chef cooked it for them on the spot, and they all felt that the experience was unique.

There is also a female storyteller who tells the same stories that Pei Qin told, fresh and funny.

Before leaving, Pei Qinrang gave them the flowers and plants respectively.

A banquet where both guests and hosts enjoyed themselves made Pei Qin feel that being busy would finally be somewhat effective.

Grandma Jiang received a pot of coniferous cypress, and immediately returned with a gift of thanks.An Zhou was afraid that she would die in a few days. She didn't find an opportunity at the banquet, so she had to take this opportunity to talk to Pei Qin quickly.

As for Mo Heng, he also received a letter from An Zhouyuan, wanting to see him.

 Merry Christmas Eve~\(^o^)/~
