Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 212
He was a little surprised when Ji Chongze met Zhou Yu by chance on the day when he got married. The commoner boy still looked thin, but his demeanor changed so much that he couldn't recognize him for a while.

If he hadn't seen Ji Mingxuan's arrogant and respectful attitude, he would have never thought that Zhou Yu would have become the magistrate of Xuzhou at such a young age.

"I heard that the second sister-in-law had a big fuss. Everyone in the family knows about it. How could I not know?"

Mrs. Pei smiled, stretched out her hand to caress the light almond-colored Shu brocade saddle on the mahogany round table, and felt in a good mood.

The second wife, Mrs. Lu, must have regretted it now. If she had known that Zhou Yu would have such a day, she would have given Ji Yue'e to him at that time, and now she would not see the third girl of the Ji family take such a big deal.

"Sister, you should avoid the second wife these days, I'm afraid she will make trouble with you again!"

Pei Yan put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Mrs. Pei with a serious expression.

The patriarch's old man's health has not been as good as before, and it is also because he is old, so he wants to pass on this position, but facing the second room who has been in charge of the family affairs for many years, and his beloved son, the seventh room, The patriarch, his old man, was a little hesitant.

Of course, for this position, the Second Household has tried their best, and the Second Wife, Mrs. Lu, has also used many tricks to thwart Mrs. Pei. As long as the Seventh Household is discredited, there will be no obstacle for their Second Household to take the top position.

"I know."

Mrs. Pei nodded, and sat beside her, "I have already told the nanny to take care of Brother Ming and Sister Qing these few days, and don't run around outside if there is nothing to do, so as not to be brought up by the second sister-in-law!"

When Mrs. Pei was talking about the two children, Ji Leqing ran in bouncingly. Seeing Pei Yan sitting here, she cheered and rushed over.

"You little monkey, stop pressing your uncle!"

Pei called out with a smile, turned around and saw Ji Leming walking in, first greeted her and Pei Yan in a proper manner, and then she pulled her to sit down.

Pei Yan already hugged Ji Leqing and sat on her lap, and nodded her nose, "Look at how polite your brother is, you must learn more from now on!"

"Brother is not fun at all!"

Ji Leqing pursed her lips indifferently, hugged Pei Yan's neck with both hands, leaned in his arms and laughed, "I like my uncle the most. Uncle takes me to ride a horse!"

"Mom, I want to ride a horse too!"

Maybe it's the boy's nature, Ji Leming didn't move at first, when he heard Ji Leqing mentioning horses, his eyes lit up immediately, but he didn't dare to get too close to Pei Yan, he only turned his pleading eyes to Pei.

"You are too young to fall."

Pei shook her head, disapproving all over her face.

Pei Yan practiced martial arts since he was a child, and thanks to the guidance of a famous teacher, he was able to achieve his current skills. These two children can't lift their shoulders and grind their backs. They have been protected since they were young. They have never ridden any horse before. It's no joke.

"uncle!"

Ji Leqing shook Pei Yan's arm resolutely and acted coquettishly. Although this uncle looked a little cold on the outside, he treated her very well, so she was not afraid of him at all.

Pei Yan smiled and stroked the two buns on top of Ji Leqing's head, "When you brothers and sisters grow up, uncle will pick two ponies for you, okay?"

"Uncle is not allowed to lie!"

Ji Leqing blinked her big eyes, Ji Leming also looked expectant and longing, Pei Yan nodded without hesitation.

Mrs. Pei watched from the side, shaking her head helplessly, "You are the only one who spoils them!"

"If you don't pamper them again, I will leave soon, and I don't know when I will come back next time."

Pei Yan sighed softly, and Pei Shi was also silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head and said: "This time you also went back to Danyang, so go and see your mother... Although she doesn't say it in her heart, I know she misses you very much too .”

"Ah."

Pei Yan nodded silently. Mother Pei didn't approve of him joining the army. At that time, he also killed him first and then sent a letter to his home. Mother Pei replied and scolded him and never sent any news.

Pei's side also persuaded her, but because Pei's mother was stubborn by nature, she didn't believe that Pei Yan could achieve anything like this. The two mothers and sons were at such a stalemate, and several years passed like this.

"Uncle, do you want to take sister Lian?"

Ji Leqing suddenly raised her head to look at Pei Yan, her expression was so serious that even Ji Leming looked over curiously.

"You little brat!"

Pei Yan gently scratched Ji Leqing's nose, but nodded with a smile, "Uncle married Sister Lian and came back to be your aunt, okay?"

"Naturally."

Ji Leqing nodded happily, "Sister Lian is beautiful and gentle, she treats me very well!"

Ji Leqing clapped her hands and smiled, but after a while her brows were knotted, "But she is my sister Lian, if she becomes my uncle's wife, she will be my aunt, then is she still my sister Lian..."

"What nonsense you said, you confused mother."

Pei smiled and waved her hand, took Ji Leqing from Pei Yan's hand, and handed her little hand to Ji Leming's, "Go, take your sister out to play, mother still has something to say to your uncle."

Ji Leming nodded, and led Ji Leqing for a few steps, then turned her head again, her face was a little red, but she said shyly: "Uncle, I also like Sister Lian to be my aunt!"

"okay, I get it."

Pei Yan nodded, with a smile on his brows and eyes, until he saw the figures of the two children fade out of sight, then he looked away.

In the future, he and Ji Chonglian will have a few such smart and dexterous children... As long as he thinks about it, he will be full of longing.

Mrs. Pei suppressed her smile, and said seriously: "You should talk to your mother about Chonglian."

They are all preparing for the marriage proposal. Although it is not as troublesome as preparing the dowry, they have to start preparing. It is impossible for Pei's mother to be kept in the dark.

Pei Yan pursed the corners of her lips and remained silent.

In fact, most of the time, for him, the Pei family plays the role of sister and mother, but the real mother is so distant and harsh to him, so most of the time he is either traveling abroad to learn martial arts, or coming to Pei's family. Living here for a while, if he really wants to face Mother Pei alone, he probably doesn't know how to speak.

"When the marriage is settled, I have to worry about my sister."

As Pei Yan spoke, she reached out her sleeve pocket and took out a stack of banknotes, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Mrs. Pei, "My sister is preparing this time, so she can buy whatever she needs, and don't need to save money for me."

Pei opened it with a smile, and it turned out to be five 2000 taels of silver bills, which together amounted to 1 taels. She looked at Pei Yan in surprise, "When did you save so much silver?"
