Chapter 203
Mrs. Bai praised: "I heard that the things there are not cheap. This small hairpin is probably no less than 3000 taels!"

Yao Fupei pretended to be surprised and said, "It's so expensive, and with that pair of earrings, wouldn't it cost 6000 taels?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said: "That's natural. Baoruizhai specializes in fine jewelry, and the price of each item will never be lower than 2000 taels. When my mother celebrated her 6000th birthday, we brothers and sisters , and pooled some money to go to the capital to order a gemstone chain inlaid with green jadeite for her, and it actually cost us [-] taels!"

Yao Fupei bent her lips and smiled, slightly surprised: "Does Master Pei have a lot of monthly salary? To be able to buy such expensive jewelry, it seems that Master Pei and Sister Chen are really in love."

Chen Miao didn't want to be misunderstood that the money for buying jewelry came from Pei Jing through some unclean channel, just as she was about to explain, she saw Pei Jing lightly pressed her hand with a smile, turned her face to Yao Fupei and said with a smile:

"Doesn't Mrs. Side know that the boss of Baoruizhai is our uncle? This time Miaoer and I went to Beijing. When my uncle was happy, he gave Miaoer a face. There were several pieces in total. It's just that Miaoer didn't May Zhang Yang wear these two unremarkable ones, and she also has a pair of necklaces inlaid with gold and green agate, which she didn't wear because she thought it was too conspicuous."

The bystanders were envious when they heard that, the well-known owner of Baoruizhai in Beijing was actually from the Pei family, and several wives who loved jewelry were already laughing and telling Chen Miao, let her introduce the big boss of Baoruizhai, When buying jewelry in the future, it is good to have a discount.

Yao Fupei's cheeks turned red and then turned white. Since she left home to follow Cao Dacheng, this was the first time Pei Jing spoke to her in public, but the word "Mrs. He slapped her hard.

Except for Cao Dacheng and Jiang Yiru, no one here knows the relationship between them. Cao Dacheng has never heard him mention his cousin in Pei Jing's mouth.

Even though she mentioned it to him cryptically just now, Pei Jing didn't seem to understand what he was talking about.

Therefore, although Cao Dacheng made Yao Fupei his side wife, a large part of the reason was because of Pei Jing, but Pei Jing's attitude was ambiguous, and he never mentioned his cousin to him, so Cao Dacheng's love for Yao Fupei His attitude is also somewhat ambiguous.

When Cao Dacheng saw that Pei Jing had spoken, he gave Yao Fupei a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and he knew that no matter what in Pei Jing's heart, this cousin was absolutely inferior to his wife Chen Miao.

He was afraid that Yao Fupei would say something bad again, so he quickly interjected to smooth things over and said: "Okay, today is to clean up the dust for Captain Pei and celebrate his promotion. What are you doing talking about clothes and jewelry? These women's topics , you still have to go to Mrs. Pei's house to ask for advice when you are free."

Yao Fupei almost tore a piece of silk with her fingers under the table, she gritted her teeth secretly and said, "Yes."

After Cao Dacheng said a few polite words, a group of men started talking and laughing happily, toasting each other.

As soon as the wine glasses were touched, hot and cold dishes were served one after another.

Since it was a family banquet, everyone didn't talk about state affairs and government affairs, they only talked about how Pei Jing went to the capital to save the concubine De.

Pei Jing briefly described the situation at that time, without deliberately exaggerating, he just said that he happened to be by De Concubine's side at that time, so he just happened to save De Concubine.

As for meeting the emperor, being promoted and being promoted, it was indeed because the emperor happened to come to visit Concubine De and saw himself again, so he gave him a reward by the way.

Although Pei Jing is humble, none of the people present here have become elites. If so many "coincidentally" and "by the way" come together, I'm afraid it will not be so simple.

It's just that everyone knows the secret truth, and each other has a look of knowing it, and they just say: "That's Lieutenant Pei, you have great blessings, and your majesty is so gracious!"

Everyone chatted and laughed, because half of the audience were women, and Pei Jing was the protagonist today, so his wife naturally couldn't be left out, so they started to get close to Chen Miao, talking about some daily women's topics .

Chen Miao kept smiling, but she also had questions and answers.The topic among women, apart from clothes and jewellery, is husband and child.

Except for Pei Jing, who are considered "newly married", the rest of the people present are not young, and they have a lot of children.

As soon as Chen Miao was still childless, several women offered advice to Chen Miao one after another, saying which doctor was the best in this aspect, and some said which folk remedy was the most effective.

All the women were talking enthusiastically, but a group of big men looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to get in the conversation.

Today's banquet is a family banquet, and to show respect, everyone brought their wives. No one would bring their wives or concubines out, so these chattering women are all real wives. When talking, it is inconvenient for the man beside him to interrupt.

What's more, Bensheng today is to celebrate Pei Jingrong's promotion to the captaincy, everyone is on good terms on weekdays, and his wife is also Pei Jing's wife, so all the civil and military officials are willing to sit next to their wife and be a green leaf. He didn't talk much, just smiled and drank while listening to the topics among women.

Chen Miao was a little embarrassed, but Pei Jing was listening with great interest, sometimes interjecting a few words.

Jiang Yiru looked at Chen Miao with a smile, seeing that she was so ashamed, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Why are you so anxious about this kind of thing? What should happen will happen, not to mention that they have only been married for two years, and they are both in their youth. , are you afraid that there will be fewer children in the future? You, the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry to death!"

Yao Fupei, who had endured the anger for a long time, seemed to have a vent, and blurted out without hesitation: "I heard that sister Chen's body was damaged at the beginning, and she has not been pregnant until now because of the unhealed damage last time. In my opinion, it is better to check carefully, otherwise the heir of Captain Pei will be delayed, so what should I do?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed immediately. Jiang Yiru glanced at Chen Miao and Pei Jing with a worried face. Chen Miao suddenly sneered and said, "Mrs. Fang's words are strange. How is my body?" , why are you more concerned about whether you can conceive than my husband-in-law? What's more, how can you be so clear about the drug?"

Yao Fupei opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a moment.

Pei Jing has never admitted his relationship with her in front of outsiders, but she knows such a secret, how can she not be suspected?
She glanced to both sides, and sure enough everyone's eyes showed suspicion, but Pei Jing's eyes were as cold as iron, like two sharp swords, stabbing fiercely into her heart.
