Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 197: When the family is a guest, Pei Yan shows up (3)
Bi Yuan has been here many times with Ji Chonglian, and he is no stranger to these people. He grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and sat next to a woman. He smiled and nudged the woman, "Aunt Hua, in the garden of the Seventh Wife, What kind of happy event happened that needs such grandeur?"

Aunt Hua and the other woman looked at each other, and then said to Bi Yuan mysteriously: "Yo, you don't know yet, our uncle is coming back soon."

"Uncle?"

Bi Yuan was startled, but he couldn't recall who the uncle Hua was talking about?Then he caught Aunt Hua and asked her to understand.

A woman next to him smiled, "I made meritorious service in Guangfu Temple back then, and was later taken to the northwest by General Luo. Isn't he the younger brother of our seventh wife?"

"Ah, it's Mr. Pei!"

Bi Yuan covered her lips in surprise, she had only seen the back of this man when he left Guangfu Temple, but she didn't expect to be the hero who solved the danger of Guangfu Temple.

When it comes to heroes, the women are naturally all excited, and with the booing of the young maids, Aunt Hua and the others start to recount all the things that Pei Yan used to do in the family.

Naturally, Ji Chonglian didn't know what happened in Biyuan's room, she was being ushered into the warm pavilion in the backyard by Pei's maid.

There are octagonal eaves on the top of this warm pavilion, and glazed lamps are hung under the eaves. As the sky darkens, there is already a stream of colorful light. The partition windows carved with wood grain and inlaid with jade are not airtight, but they are very warm.

Before Ji Chonglian entered the warming pavilion, Pei Shi who was far away greeted her with a smile.

"Chonglian, I'm afraid you won't come!"

Pei's face was full of joy, and the bright red and gold embroidered hundred-flower beanie was not worn by her in bright colors, but it was a bit more dignified and heavy.

"The Seventh Wife invites me, even if there is something big, I have to put it aside."

Ji Chonglian saluted with a smile, and entered the warm pavilion hand in hand with Mrs. Pei.

As soon as she entered the pavilion, a maid stepped forward and untied her cloak and hung it on a hanger beside her. Only then did Mrs. Pei see Ji Chonglian's clothes under the cloak, and she couldn't help frowning, "Why are you dressed so clearly today?" simple?"

Although hibiscus comes out of clear water, it is natural to carve and decorate, but Ji Chonglian should dress up for an occasion like today, otherwise...

"Seventh wife is the same, why don't you say that there is a happy event in the mansion, otherwise I will definitely have to change clothes before going out. I think you are in a hurry, so I rushed here."

Ji Chonglian gave Pei a reproachful look, but there was a smile in her eyes. Even if there was any happy event in the family, she would just have fun with her. Clothes are just external objects, and it's not bad that no one else sees them except Pei. tight.

"Hey, forget it, I didn't make it clear."

Pei stroked her forehead with a headache, and pulled Ji Chonglian to sit on the long bench covered with brocade cushions.

"Where are Brother Ming and Sister Qing, why didn't you see them?"

Ji Chonglian looked around, then got up and took a look outside the pavilion to make sure she didn't see these two small figures, she couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"Their father took them out to play, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back today."

Speaking of a pair of children, Mrs. Pei finally smiled, with the brilliance of motherhood rippling in her eyes.

"That's a pity. I also brought them a lot of gadgets."

Ji Chonglian shook her head, turned her eyes around again, and then focused on Pei's body again, took her hand and said: "What kind of happy event is it, let me tell you about it."

Mrs. Pei glanced narrowly at Ji Chonglian, which made her limbs feel a little numb, and the bad premonition rose again in her heart, why did she feel as if she had been tricked unconsciously?

"Ayan is coming back!"

As soon as Pei's words fell, Ji Chonglian's smile froze.

Pei Yan...Pei Yan is coming back? !
Ji Chonglian only felt that this sentence echoed in her mind repeatedly, other than that, it was blank, she didn't even know what to say, besides shock, there was also a trace of joy and anticipation...

"Look at you, are you happy or scared?"

Mrs. Pei squeezed Ji Chonglian's hand, and seeing her come back to her senses, she said: "He wrote a letter not long ago saying that he would come back, that he had accumulated leave to go back to Danyang to visit relatives, and I was looking forward to it in my heart, counting it day by day. You don't know how hard life is..."

A trace of sadness appeared in Pei's eyes as he said that, for six years, this younger brother has been working hard outside, and he doesn't know how many scars he has added to his body to be able to wear down his current military exploits.

"Not long ago, A Yan made another meritorious service. The King of Yan asked for an order to promote him to be the commander of the fourth rank. He is only 21 years old. If he goes one step further, he will be the youngest frontier official in the Daning Dynasty. The pride of the Pei family!"

The more Pei talked, the more excited he became, his eyes were red, but there was a sparkle in them.

Pei's joyful mood was like a surging lake, and Ji Chonglian was infected unconsciously, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Congratulations, Mrs. Seven!"

Pei Yan is the hope of the Pei family. Now that he is promising and proud, he is naturally the pride of the whole family!
But when she thought that Pei Yan was about to return, she felt a little flustered again.

Does he still remember what he said many years ago, does his mind towards her not change, and does he come here to fulfill his promise?

Her memory of him still seems to be on that 15-year-old boy, his slender figure wrapped in a black robe, his chin like a knife sharpened, his lips that are neither thick nor thin have a faint pink color, tall and tall. The straight nose, indifferent eyes, and even the thick black eyebrows are slightly raised at the tail, which is stern and compelling.

It's just that many years have passed, and the young man of that day should have grown into a tall and burly man. After being baptized by the wind and sand and soaked in blood, he is probably even more intimidating than he was back then.

For some reason, thinking of Pei Yan like that, Ji Chonglian shuddered.

"Isn't this also your luck?!"

Pei said pointingly, looked at Ji Chonglian with a trace of interest in his eyes, looked at her blushing face in surprise, and couldn't help laughing softly.

After smiling, Mrs. Pei let out a long sigh, "You don't know, I heard about it... how worried I was when I heard about Mr. Qin. Fortunately, this man has left now. What happened? , would you like to tell me?"

The information obtained from Pei's family was not accurate, Pei's family only vaguely knew that Qin Zi had a marriage contract with Ji Chonglian, and how the marriage fell through in the end, but few people knew the inside story.

"Since Mrs. Seven knows about this, I won't hide it from you."

Ji Chonglian smiled nonchalantly, and said softly: "This matter was decided by my father many years ago. Although Mr. Qin came here according to the marriage contract, he is not my beloved after all, so this marriage contract is now void. Male and female marriages have nothing to do with each other!"
