Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 213
"These were all rewarded by the prince and the court, and I brought back some utensils this time. My sister picked out which ones are suitable for use, and the rest were shipped back to Pengze. After all, I don't often At home, leave it to the mother."

Pei Yan returned to Danyang first this time, and his personal guards, a total of 20 people, were in charge of escorting the artifacts, arriving a little later than him.

"You have a heart."

Pei didn't delay either, and accepted it with a smile. It would be too much to buy 1 taels of silver as a betrothal gift. She knew it was because her younger brother didn't want to treat Ji Chonglian badly, and she would consider it as appropriate.

Mrs. Pei was talking to Pei Yan, but a servant girl lifted the curtain and came in to report, "Madam, the old man invites you and uncle to come over."

Mrs. Pei was startled, and looked at Pei Yan with some puzzlement, why did they find their siblings at the same time?
Pei Yan pondered: "Do you know what happened?"

The maid slightly raised her head and glanced at Pei Yan, then immediately lowered her head blushing, and said softly: "I heard that the second wife is also with the old man, so I don't know anything else."

"Second sister-in-law is also there."

Mrs. Pei snorted coldly, obviously expecting something bad this time.

"Let's see what's going on."

Pei Yan nodded, and then stood up. The Pei family came in a storm, and the siblings were not afraid of anything. As for the methods of the second wife, Mrs. Lu, they were nothing more than clowns in Pei's eyes.

The patriarch old man is sitting in the main room at the moment. He is 68 years old this year. He has given birth to several sons, but they died unexpectedly. Now there are only two sons left by his side.

The second son, Ji Chang, is down-to-earth and solid, but he is a bit rigid and can't be flexible. What worries the old man most is that this son obeys his wife's orders in everything, and Lu's is a strong one. He has always disliked him in his heart.

On the contrary, the seventh son, Ji Ning, is intelligent, elegant, and upright. The seventh daughter-in-law, the Pei family, was also begged by him for his son. Although the Pei family has fallen, the daughter he taught is generous, dignified and aloof, comparable to the petty Lu family. much better.

If Ji Ning takes over the position of patriarch in the future, Pei's demeanor is worthy of the position of clan wife. If it is handed over to Lu's control, he will be worried about leaving.

"Old man, it's not that the daughter-in-law is here to tell tales. When the seventh sibling comes later, you really have to talk about it. It doesn't matter if you are close or distant, but it will make people laugh if you talk about it if you mess up your seniority!"

Lu's mouth was frothing, and Pei Yan had just helped Pei to walk outside the house when she heard these words.

Mrs. Pei sneered, raised her foot and stepped in. After the siblings saluted the patriarch, the old man, Mrs. Pei turned to Mrs. Lu, raising her brows. Although her expression was calm, she couldn't stop the menacing momentum. , "I don't know what the second sister-in-law can advise?"

"Old man, take a look!"

Mrs. Lu glared at Mrs. Pei, then turned to look at the old patriarch with an aggrieved look, "I haven't said anything yet, the seventh younger siblings are so aggressive, if Qifang is really in charge in the future, can you Where is the place for our second room?"

As Lu Shi spoke, he burst into tears, turned sideways, and covered the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief.

Pei Yan frowned, took a few steps forward, and then respectfully said: "Old man, why did you call us here this time?"

"Ayan, come!"

The patriarch beckoned to Pei Yan, trying to say such words, he already felt that he was exhaling more and less inhaling, his eyes were a little cloudy and dim, and his whole body was exhausted.

When a person is old, he knows his fate, and he also knows that he is not as good as before. The old woman left first last year, and it seems that he is also going to follow.

"Father!"

Pei Yan stepped forward to support the patriarch's old man's arm, and at his height, knelt down in front of him.

The old patriarch treats their siblings well, and supports and maintains Qifang. In his heart, he respects this old man very much.

"Ayan, I heard from the second daughter-in-law...that you are going to marry the fifth girl from Ji's family...is there such a thing?"

Pei Yan was startled, then turned to Lu's side, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Lu's heart was a little guilty, and he turned his body sideways. Pei Yan was not a good person in the past, but now that he has been promoted after a battle and came back, he is full of evil spirits, even walking towards him Can't help but detour.

After all, if Pei Yan wasn't here, she wouldn't be so polite to Mrs. Pei.

"There is such a thing."

Pei Yan looked away, and nodded to the patriarch.

Mrs. Pei organized the etiquette affairs for him to propose marriage. Although it was not a big fanfare, anyone with a discerning eye would know it at a glance, so it is not surprising that Mrs. Lu knew about it, but who is in the way?

"Hey!"

The old patriarch shook his head, coughed a few times, and said, "I shouldn't have said this, but since your sister married into our family, I have watched you grow up, and I have already regarded you as You gave birth to half a son... But Ji's girl, she wants to call you uncle... If you marry her, wouldn't you be in a mess of generations? What will people in that clan think of your brother-in-law and your sister in the future? "

Mrs. Lu laughed secretly in her heart, look, Mrs. Pei condoned her younger brother to marry a niece from the clan, which messed up his seniority for no reason, how embarrassing it is to say it.

If the patriarch really turned a blind eye and let Pei Yan marry Miss Ji Wu, what face would Qifang have to fight for the position of patriarch?With such a stain on the side, it's better to get out as soon as possible.

Pei Yan lowered his head silently, and Pei Shi couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines, so he hurried forward and said: "Master, the Ji family and our family have already been related by Wufu. It is intermarriage, and besides, my younger brother is not from the Ji family, so why can't he marry Miss Ji Wu?"

The patriarch shook his head and sighed softly, "Although I said so, our Ji family is a big family in Danyang, so we have to worry about our reputation..."

Mrs. Lu stopped crying at the moment, and echoed, "Yes, seventh brother and sister, you have to take care of the reputation of the seventh brother and our family's reputation in Danyang, and don't make us tired because of protecting the younger brother of our natal family. Home!"

Pei Yan snorted, and shot her gaze coldly at Mrs. Lu, she couldn't help shivering, her face turned half pale in an instant, but she forced herself to calm down.

"Old man, do you really care about your reputation so much?"

Pei Yan twitched the corners of her lips, stood up suddenly, and took a step back, "If that's the case, why did you hire our Pei family's daughter for your son? Don't you know that the Pei family is in Shangjing? Already notorious?"

"I……"

The old patriarch looked at Pei Yan's slightly mocking look, and felt a little ashamed for a moment. He felt a turbid air stuck in his chest, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, and his face turned pale.
