stern wife

Chapter 40
"Yes, you sisters really look alike, and you're born so well, I'm really envious of others."

A group of people chattered to get close to sister Pei Huayu, boasting that the pair of sisters who had never seen anything in the world were so dizzy that they almost couldn't find the north.

It's just that Pei Huayu and Pei Shuli didn't know that the reason why this group of people praised them so much was because the people at the table couldn't see their fearful appearance because of the screen.

Coupled with the fact that they are better dressed than Pei Xiaoran, it is taken for granted that they are regarded as the favored daughters of the Pei family.

Fu Wenyi saw that the people at the table were only paying attention to sister Pei Huayu, but Pei Xiaoran was ignored. She couldn't help but frowned, fearing that Pei Xiaoran would feel sad, she raised her hand to hold Pei Xiaoran's small hand, silently comforting her.

Pei Xiaoran turned his head and smiled at her with a heartless look, as if he didn't take this trivial matter to heart at all.

On the other side, Pei Runzhi, Pei Yuxuan and Pei Wenchang also sat with the children of the aristocratic family in Beijing.

Pei Yuxuan's body was weak, not his legs were disabled, so when he got to the table, he got off the four-wheeled cart by himself, and sat at the round table with Pei Runzhi.

As soon as he sat down, Pei Yuxuan keenly sensed something was wrong.

He raised his eyes slightly, and saw that many people present were staring at him and his eldest brother with very subtle eyes.

Pei Yuxuan narrowed his eyes, got up gracefully and smiled, cupping his hands and saying:
"Pei is not talented. I have met all the young masters. Today is the first time my brother and I have come here. If there is any impoliteness, please forgive me."

Hearing what his younger brother said, Pei Runzhi hurriedly got up to salute.

The others hurriedly stood up and replied, "Don't dare."

Everyone looked at Pei Yuxuan and then at Pei Runzhi, and some people couldn't help but sigh:
"It's better to be famous than to meet each other. Sure enough, rumors should not be trusted."

Pei Yuxuan raised his eyebrows and asked:

"I don't know what the rumor is?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Pei Xingshan is only willing to take his concubine Pei Wenchang with him when he goes out, and the old lady of the Pei family doesn't like to go out, the women stay in the back house all day with nothing to do, gossiping about family affairs or talking about people's personalities, so...Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan's reputation outside can be good what?
Pei Yuxuan didn't go out often and was weak, so he was rumored to be a sick child with a weird and withdrawn personality.

Pei Runzhi had clearly achieved something, but his own father wiped out most of the credit, so he was rumored to be a reckless man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

As for Pei Wenchang, because Pei Xingshan was only willing to take him with him when he went out, coupled with the old lady's preference, he was rumored to be both civil and military, talented, talented, extremely intelligent, handsome...

All in all, there are geniuses in heaven and earth!

It is precisely because the concubine is so good that he is worthless compared to the concubines, so the master of the Pei family loves this son so much that he takes it with him wherever he goes.

However, when I saw it today, I found that the real person seemed to be quite different from the rumored one.

This Pei Yuxuan was born with shaved shoulders and clear bones. He did look a little morbidly thin, but his face was elegant, his brows were clear, his behavior was gentle and modest, and he treated others kindly. How could he be weird and withdrawn?

And his eldest brother Pei Runzhi, who is tall and straight, stands upright like a bamboo, advances and retreats well, neither arrogant nor rash, how can he be a reckless man with well-developed limbs and a simple mind?

Such pretentious rumors that damage people's reputation naturally cannot be spoken out to offend people, so everyone laughed tacitly and quickly led the topic to other places.

Pei Yuxuan had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and curled the corners of his lips.

Don't need to guess, I know it must be the handwriting of the old lady. The old lady came from a lowly background, so what she said is naturally not very noble. I don't know what kind of ghost he and the eldest brother are described!
But it doesn't matter, facts speak louder than words, and those rumors will be self-defeating sooner or later, so don't pay attention to them at all.

Pei Wenchang frowned fiercely when he saw that the people at the table were chatting enthusiastically with Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan.

Pei Yuxuan has read a lot of poetry and books, Pei Runzhi is well-informed, and both of them are handsome, zhilanyushu characters, people can't help but feel good and close.

When there were no Pei Yuxuan and Pei Runzhi in the past, these people only praised him alone. Although there is no shortage of people who praise him now, he is not happy to see Pei Runzhi and Pei Yuxuan split most of his limelight. Very unhappy.

It's just two trash that dad doesn't like, what's so good about it?
It is impossible for Pei Wenchang to sit with the two brothers Pei Runzhi. The people sitting next to him are all friends he knows, and one of them is particularly lustful, the son of the servant's family. Listening to the sweet laughter from the other side of the rockery.

When he heard the rise, he subconsciously nudged Pei Wenchang next to him with his elbow, and was about to whisper some nasty words to him to enjoy himself, but he heard a 'hiss' inhale, turned his head, and saw Pei Wenchang's expression on his face Painfully clutching the place where he poked it.

The servant boy was startled, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong with you? I, I didn't use my strength..."

Pei Wenchang was kicked by Pei Xingshan because of Taoli's matter. Even if Pei Xingshan controlled the strength, it was much stronger than ordinary people. He thought it was useless, but it was already very strong for Pei Wenchang, so he was kicked The place where I passed is still aching.

But being beaten up by Lao Tzu is too embarrassing, and you must never say it out loud. Pei Wenchang thought about it, and pretended to hesitate and said:
"This...was beaten."

"Being beaten?!" The servant boy was startled when he heard it. My God, the most beloved son of the Duke of Jijingli was beaten. This...who can't think about it so much?Don't die?
He hurriedly asked: "Who is it? Tell brother, brother will avenge you!"

Pei Wenchang looked around and saw that most of the people were busy talking to the Pei Runzhi brothers. He smiled coldly to himself, but on his face he looked in a dilemma. After struggling for a while, he said in a low voice:
"It's not appropriate to say more now. I'll tell you after the banquet is over."

The more he didn't talk, the more his appetite was whetted, and he scratched his head anxiously, but on such an important occasion, he could only force himself to restrain himself, and he didn't even have the thought of lusting on those rich ladies.

On the high platform in the middle of the Hundred Gardens, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras sounded, and the performance began, and exquisite delicacies were also delivered to the table one after another like flowing water.

Everyone stopped talking at the same time, and while enjoying the performance, they waited for Emperor Chixuan to come and start the banquet.

Emperor Chixuan didn't keep everyone waiting for too long, and after a while, he brought the empress dowager, empress, princes and princesses to Baihuayuan.
