Chapter 2 The Eccentric Grandmother

Pei House.

Old Mrs. Pei's courtyard was originally the most beautiful place in the mansion, even the courtyard of the second son Jianxinhou's was not as good as this one.There are peaches and plums in spring, lotuses in summer, pomegranates in autumn, and even a greenhouse full of physalis fruits in winter.

In the past, the old lady was proud when she thought of this, but now, when she thinks about it, only her back teeth hurt.It's all because of her youngest son who doesn't agree with her, and the rare flowers and plants in the Sanfang Garden, especially the delicate and beautiful peonies that are blooming now, which are gifts from the emperor. The large and large flowers make people's eyes bloodshot. Don't even dare to put one more fart.

People say that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.For some reason, she and her youngest son have never been against each other, and now they are more like fire and water.

Before the army was raised today, their family was a super-turtle family whose eldest son suddenly made military achievements and was promoted to a sixth-rank general.

It is also for this reason that she married Fang's family, who has a sixth-rank young general father, for her second son, and she is considered a good match.

When it was the youngest son's turn, she found a merchant for him. Although the merchant was cheap, the dowry was generous.In life, nothing is as beneficial as money. This can be seen from the flowers that are planted in the old lady's yard that will bear fruit.

Helplessly, the daughter-in-law she fell in love with, but the third child in their family, didn't like her. She kept yelling that she was only fourteen, and forced out the matchmaker she came to propose marriage to.

At that time, she held her breath and let herself go, to see what kind of wife he could marry.

Unexpectedly, he and the boss followed Imakami to make a name for themselves, and finally let him abduct a granddaughter of Jijiu, a famous lady from a famous family.

It wasn't a big deal, but the bad thing was that not long after the third married the Chu family, the eldest died of an old illness.Moreover, the boss has no sons in the house, so the title that he finally obtained is suspended.Fortunately, Jin Shang was merciful and allowed their younger brother to inherit the title on behalf of the older brother, so she decided to apply for the title of the second child.

The second child cannot be supported, and the second daughter-in-law's natal family has a weak foundation. She is not ignorant of this, but she just doesn't want the third child to be a prince.If the youngest is a prince, has powerful in-laws on the outside, and a disobedient temper on the inside, she can still have a good life!
At the beginning of Mao, the old lady Pei who had already got up finished dressing, and looked at her half-white hair in front of the bronze mirror, thinking sullenly that it was all because of the anger of the third child.

In fact, if she has to list the crimes of the third child, it seems a little difficult, but it can probably be covered by the word "unfilial".

She drank half a glass of honey water, wondering if she didn't want to hold a Sunday banquet for the little girl of the third child, whether it would be possible.

In fact, if this matter gets out, it will really give her a reputation for treating her granddaughter harshly, but she always thinks that the third child is just an idiot now, and whoever is full can support his idiot affairs.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Mrs. Pei has this kind of thinking. There are so many stupid people in the world, and this stupid person is not really stupid, but just thinks others are too stupid.

This is what the former eldest princess of Dawen would say.

Ever since Mr. Pei made a big fuss, Pei Jinyu has never seen the old lady of Pei's mansion again. Just hearing the girls' remarks, she classified old lady Pei into this kind of people, and she is still a leader .

After another half a cup of tea, Mrs. Hou's Mrs. Fang came to pay her respects to the old lady with her maid and mother-in-law.

Fang, who used to be the daughter of a sixth-rank young general, is now Mrs. Hou—well, her father is still a sixth-rank young general.

How big is the bowl, how full is the rice, not only the bowl, but also the virtues of adults.In the past few years, Mrs. Hou's Fang's bowl is still the same bowl, but the contents in the bowl are getting longer, so it's just like flowing out.

It's just that what comes out is not a good thing.

The Fang family who was promoted to Madam Hou didn't learn anything, only learned to put on airs and bully others.

To put it more bluntly, wherever she goes, she likes to show off Mrs. Hou Ye, and she likes to be followed by groups of girls and women, lest people don't know that she is a noble person.As for bullying, she searched all over Luoyang City, and the only one she dared to bully was her sister-in-law, Chu Shi. She didn't have the guts to bully others.

There is a mother-in-law who doesn't want to see her husband in the family, and a sister-in-law who doesn't want to see herself and controls the whole family. It is conceivable that the Chu family's life is very difficult.

Even hosting a Sunday banquet for my precious daughter...

Alas, thinking of her being a mother makes me anxious.

The Chu family didn't know about this, and Pei Tianshu was already thinking about it.When she got up early to greet Mrs. Pei, Pei Tianshu was still sleeping soundly with the quilt in her arms, perfectly interpreting the appearance of an idle white man.

Chu hesitated for a moment, and specially called Jiarou.

"You put on the newly made red silk dress for the little lady, the one with the peony flowers embroidered with gold thread."

"Yes." Jiarou nodded, turned around and entered the left wing room, and after a while, Pei Jinyu came out with a new dress in her arms.

Seeing her daughter's round and cute face, Mrs. Chu smiled and said nothing. When she lifted her foot to go out, Jia Rou followed closely behind without any signal.

In fact, Chu's mind is easy to guess. It is nothing more than seeing that her daughter is beautiful and cute, and she thinks that the old lady will like it after seeing it. Maybe the matter of the Sunday banquet will be resolved as soon as she softens her mind.

As everyone knows, the human heart is the most elusive science in the world.

The Chu family took Pei Jinyu into the Fushou Hall of the old lady Pei, first greeted the old lady, and then instructed Jiarou to come forward.

Jiarou hugged Pei Jinyufu and said with a smile: "The little lady greets the old lady."

Because Mrs. Chu came later than usual today, and because of Pei Jinyu's red silk dress embroidered with peonies, the old lady's eyes hurt, and one can imagine her mood.

She made a muffled "Yes" for a while, then turned her head and said to Fang: "Mrs. Hou, my niece came to greet you, but this is the first time!"

Hearing the address, I knew that the person who spoke was a fool, even if she praised the second daughter-in-law, there was no such way to praise her.

There was no surprise on Chu's face, probably because he had been used to being squeezed by such words long ago.Even Jiarou's face didn't show the slightest panic, she just turned around, and gave Fang another blessing, and said articulately: "My little lady greets my second aunt."

Fang covered her mouth and chuckled, "I heard that my third brother has already chosen a name for my niece."

Speaking of this, Chu felt complacent and said with a smile, "My husband named her Jinyu."

Fang said politely: "Well, after thinking about it for a long time, it is indeed a good name."

The old lady Pei didn't think so, curled her lips, and couldn't hide her sarcasm: "That's right, what kind of jade and flowers, in the countryside, there are a lot of girls with this name when you catch them. Anyway, a humble name is easy to support."

Pei Jinyu, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Pei when she heard this.It doesn't matter what name she consciously calls, but it does matter if someone says her name is a cheap name.

However, she knew in her head that she was no longer the eldest princess, but just a little milk baby who hadn't spoken yet.

She turned her head to the side and looked at Mrs. Chu.

Chu's heart was full of displeasure, and she wanted to explain the origin of "Jin Yu", but she knew in her heart that it would be okay if she didn't say that, and the old lady would be even more unhappy if she said that.

Although she never looked down on her mother-in-law who was born in the countryside, but this mother-in-law who was born in the countryside looked down on her.

They don't like her eloquence, her waist like a willow, and her dignified posture all over her body.

Even when she first entered the door, her mother-in-law said to her: "What about a noble girl, don't noble girls have to eat and drink like peasant women to get a courteous house, and don't noble girls have to have sons like peasant women."

There are also some words that are even more unspeakable, and even thinking about them makes Chu feel dizzy.

Pei Jinyu knew that she couldn't count on her soft mother, so she closed her eyelids, as if she couldn't see it, the days were long anyway.

People, you have to have self-knowledge at all times.

Just when Chu was in a dilemma and Jin Yu was disappointed, Pei Tianshu, who was wearing a sky-blue round-neck robe, lifted the hem of his clothes, strode in, called "Mother", and hugged Pei directly from Jiarou's arms gold and jade.

The old lady was displeased, and scolded: "A dignified man, what kind of child do you have, why don't you hurry up and throw her away."

Pei Tianshu answered "yes", but hugged her daughter even tighter in his arms, shaking her from time to time.

Pei Jinyu was very comfortable being dangled by him, and looked at him with half-closed eyes, with a little smile in his eyes as a token of appreciation.

Pei Tianshu was also relieved by his daughter's small eyes, and without looking at the old lady Pei's face, he just said: "Mother, I have something to go out today, so I will take my leave."

Said that he took Pei Jinyu away in an upright manner, and also abducted the Chu family out of Fushoutang by the way.

Just when he was about to leave the door, he heard a muffled sound from inside the hall, Pei Tianshu hurt his mother's hand, and only smiled to comfort Chu: "It's okay, you go back to your room first, I'll take Jinyu out for a while. "Turn around and head towards the outer courtyard.In fact, I was still a little annoyed at the fact that Mrs. Chu brought Jinyu to Fushoutang without asking a single question.

Chu hesitated to speak, but finally let him go.Pressing down on that side, Fang's heart was secretly happy, and he tried to persuade the old lady Pei respectfully and flatteringly, and it took a lot of effort to strengthen the old lady's determination not to mention it.

Pei Tianshu carried Pei Jinyu out of the main gate, and the servant had already set up the carriage.

Pei Tianheng, the Marquis of Jianxin who was heading back home, was catching up with him.

Pei Tianhengkong has a title, but has not held a real position in the court, and has always been leisurely.It's just that I can't stay idle and like to jump around.

Pei Tianshu also saw the weary Pei Tianheng jumping around somewhere, and called out politely: "Second brother."

Pei Tianheng asked, "Where are you taking the girl?"

"Go out and walk around."

"How can anyone go out and take a girl with them?"

"Oh, enter the palace."

When Pei Tianheng heard this, he was suddenly puzzled, and he frowned and asked, "Why did you bring the girl into the palace?"

Pei Tianshu looked "Do you want to know? I just won't tell you", got on the carriage with long legs, and then said leisurely, "Why don't the second brother enter the palace with me?"

Thinking of the scene of Zhuang Su in the Golden Luan Hall, Pei Tianheng shook his head in a rare serious way.

Pei Tianshu chuckled, said nothing, and only ordered the groom to gallop away.
