stern wife

Chapter 72
She remembered that Pei Xiaoran's maternal ancestor's house was in the city next door. Although it was not far away, in previous years, he would stay there until evening before returning home.

Pei Xiaoran said in person that she promised the Holy Master to find the jade pendant within three days. Cailuan came back yesterday and said that Pei Xiaoran had slept in her room for a whole day and hadn't gone anywhere. There was news that Yupei had been found.

Today is already the second day, since Pei Xiaoran went to her grandfather's house, it must be another day of delay.

In this way, she only has one day left for tomorrow.

This Chi Jing is not big, she is not small, she is a child with no power and power, if she wants to find the jade pendant within a day, I am afraid it is just a dream.

At that time, if the Holy Majesty blames her, she will be the one to look at!
A burst of joy welled up in Pei Youmin's heart, and she only wished that that day would come sooner.

She nodded to Cailuan with satisfaction, and said: "You did a good job." Then she took off a delicate and small gold ring from her finger, stuffed it into Cailuan's hand, and said:

"When they come back, continue to keep an eye on me."

Cailuan hurriedly blessed her body to thank her, and said in her mouth:
"Yes!"

The carriage was unhurried, and it took less than two hours to arrive at Pei Xiaoran's grandfather's house.

There were servants waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw them coming, they quickly welcomed them in, their mouths were full of pleasing and auspicious words, seeing that Mrs. Wu wanted to give him a reward, she quickly refused and said:

"My aunt treats us like outsiders, doesn't she? The master said that this place will always be my aunt's home, so it's our duty to serve my aunt, so how dare we ask for rewards?"

The people who heard these words felt a burst of irony, Pei Xiaoran saw that Wu's face was smiling, and his complexion was much better than when he was in Pei's mansion. He was also happy in his heart, and said softly to Wu:
"Mother, my grandfather is generous, and he will treat these servants well on weekdays. You don't have to make up for it. They will definitely not complain."

Wu smiled, nodded and said: "That's right." Then he took the silver back into his sleeve, and sure enough, the servant didn't show any dissatisfaction, but his attitude became more respectful.

Pei Xingshan cast a sideways glance at Wu Shi, feeling very unhappy. If she still regards this place as her home, then what is Pei Mansion to her?
But the Wu family was very kind to him, so he couldn't get angry here, so he had to force his dissatisfaction back.

Pei Xiaoran looked at Pei Xingshan's face that was longer than a horse's face, sneered secretly, and took Wu's hand to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather and grandmother.

Wu's parents had already prepared refreshments and fruits for their daughter to come back. Seeing Wu entering the door, the old lady Wu burst into tears on the spot, hugged Wu and kept calling Wu's nickname , and asked how her body was recovering, her motherly affection was beyond words.

Due to poor health, Mrs. Wu didn't go home to visit often, and she missed everything at home very much. When she saw Mrs. Wu crying, she couldn't help but shed tears along with her.

Old Mrs. Wu's eldest daughter-in-law's parents passed away early, so she didn't bring her husband back to her natal home today. Seeing this scene of deep love between mother and daughter, she couldn't help wiping away her tears. Almost all the women here were crying together.

The men looked at each other in blank dismay, all at a loss.

It's New Year's Eve, why are you crying?

Pei Xiaoran sighed, stepped forward, stretched out his small hand and gently tugged on Old Madam Wu's sleeve, and said in a soft voice:
"Grandmother, Xiaoran wishes you New Year's greetings, I wish you all the best and all the best~"

Old Madam Wu lowered her head, and saw a pink and tender little girl standing beside her, looking at her with a round face and a smile!
The old lady Wu's attention was diverted immediately, she touched Pei Xiaoran's soft and tender face and cried out fondly:
"This is Xiaoran! He has grown so big in the blink of an eye! Let grandma come and take a good look!"

Later, seeing Pei Runzhi's brothers, they repeatedly praised:
"Look, one is prettier than the other, so you don't have to worry about finding a wife in the future!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present couldn't help laughing, and the three Pei Runzhi brothers blushed slightly.

The women wiped away their tears, and the topic naturally turned to Wu's children, and the miserable atmosphere just now immediately became harmonious.

Mrs. Wu's eldest son, Wu Zonghuan, who is also the eldest uncle of Pei Runzhi's brothers, invited them to sit down and chat while drinking tea.

Pei Xiaoran escaped from Mrs. Wu's clutches at some point, walked up to Wu Zonghuan and stood still, gently tugged at the corner of Wu Zonghuan's clothes, and when he saw him looking at him, he whispered:
"Uncle, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Seeing her mysterious appearance, Wu Zonghuan raised the corners of his mouth with great interest and said with a smile:
"whats the matter?"

Pei Xiaoran pointed to the room next to him, and said, "Let's take a step to talk."

Wu Zonghuan thought it was funny, and didn't think such a little girl could have any big things to tell him, but he still stood up with dignity, and said to others:
"Spare me, Xiaoran said that he wanted to see the little turtle I raised, so I'll take her there first."

Mr. Wu hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Go, go, if Xiaoran likes it, let her take one back to raise when she leaves."

Pei Xiaoran immediately smiled sweetly: "Thank you, grandfather!"

The old man laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and said:

"Why are you being polite to grandpa? Whatever you fancy, just take it away!"

Pei Xiaoran showed a sincere smile, and followed Wu Zonghuan away.

After entering the house, he asked someone to bring a charcoal basin and hot tea to eat, and Wu Zonghuan asked with a smile:

"What's the matter, can I tell my uncle now?"

Pei Xiaoran put away his smile, and said with a serious and serious face on his small face:
"Uncle, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Do you know anyone who knows about all kinds of treasures?"

Wu Zonghuan was taken aback for a moment, and his expression unconsciously became serious. After thinking about it, he said:

"Of course there are. The treasurer of a jewelry and antique shop, or the owner of a pawnshop, are all people who know about all kinds of treasures."

"Then can uncle help me hire one of them to do something for me? It's not difficult, and it doesn't take long. Of course, there is a reward."

Pei Xiaoran pulled out his sleeve, took out a 100 tael bank note, and solemnly placed it on the table.

This is the New Year's money that Mrs. Wu gave her. The old lady in Pei's mansion never gave this to her and her brothers, so Mrs. Wu paid for it herself.

Wu Zonghuan felt a little interesting, pulled a round stool and sat down, pushed the silver ticket back with a smile, and said:
"We are a family, why are you being polite? Uncle has no shortage of banknotes. You can use them to buy things you like. If you need help, to put it bluntly, Uncle will help you."
